Movies
Ah, man. Movies are my life. Let's throw the Star Wars films up there first, since they were what got me into movies more than anything else. And the Disney films. Anything Steven Spielberg's done. All of Kevin Smith's movies. Most of Coppola and Scorsese's films, especially Apocalypse Now, The Godfather films, GoodFellas, Casino, and Raging Bull. Definitely the films of Spike Lee. And I have a passion for classic films, documentaries, and lesser known films, both studio-made and independent. I've never done acid, but I wonder what dropping acid and watching a Danny Kaye movie is like. Why I said that, I don't know, probably just to make you giggle.

Also the George W. Bush presidential Executive Order 13217.Which means it has been designated a nationwide problem! To be Moses for all disabled people to remove the yoke the burden on our disabled back and set disabled people free.Keep Rock 'n rolling on!

THE HOPE OF TOMMORROW
BY: TREVOR CLAIBORN

I can’t take back what I’ve done in the past
Nor can I retaliate on all that’s been done to me,
At best I can learn from experiences I’ve had
Shake the chains of regret and be free,

The future has its own set of tests and trials
So why dwell upon yesterdays woes,
My road only changes if I’m willing to change it
The door of opportunity is never closed.

I must free up my psychological arms
To make space for better things to come
I should dispose of the junk from the past
And seek the source where all natural treasures come from.

We are the wardens of the prison in our minds
Condemned by guilt, regret and sorrow,
But I stay at peace, when I learn to release-
Yesterday, and appreciate the hope of tomorrow!
