Here I be after work having a cold one.....no in all actuality its a warm one....all of the glasses were in the dishwasher as Mr. C had just run it.....and so they were a tad warm..wait...they were really warm..and me being such a dumb ass poured my Sammy Adams in and 'volia...instant warm beer.....I am really feeling the German in me today....almost literally...
ok..next item....
Had a good night @ the 'ol J tonight.....had some laughs with Puppy Girl and L Lady.....I think my 5 days off gave me the much needed attitude adjustment I was in dire need of...so all went well there....and...Surprisingly... I was really missed by a few .....so that's always nice....although...there wasn't anyone to flirt with tonight .....which is booooring....but I made it through....
So ........
I need to write an email to Shocker...seems we are having a bit of a communication problem.....seems I was misread.....seems everything has a "seems"..
So I bid all a goodnight......
Keep it on the Ice Y'all!!!......

hmmmmmmmmm........
So today is a day that is....... well .........confusing to say the least....found out some info last night that I am not to sure what to do with......I just love this part......and the thing is I am glad I know it but then again I'm not. I wish I could go into further details but as luck would have it I am not at liberty to do so.....so yea......
There goes my Alarm.....I set it for almost noon today.....cos I have been staying up until around 4am......talking and listening and feeling.....and then there are those alarms..... its almost metaphorical......
Today's post is rather a riddle I know, but for those who know me....and maybe those who don't.....they can read between the lines.
Moving on and on .......
I have to work today..........5 days went by rather quickly and of course I got NOTHING accomplished......which is needless to say rather sad. I am actually looking forward to work today....be nice to get out this house and around some actual people other than the grumpy Mr.C. I still have not finished my exam and its not a good thing.....Flex classes are for the birds lemme tell ya.....when I sign up for classes tomorrow I will not be taking anymore...I am an individual who desperately needs DEADLINES!!!
Okay....I still need to figure out where I am going for a weekend this month.....Portland,North,Vegas? Now Vegas is really where I would prefer to be....SUN and FUN...I would love to go to Oregon.....I miss me pals and dancing my ass off with Binks.....we had some fun....cut that rug we did...... ;) Ahhhhhhhhh decisisons... decisions....
Ok then I must sign off......
Keep it Real folks

All I need to know about some broken road
so I am in a mood today....and whatever mood I am in can be defined by the music I am listening to....today its Cuntry. :) ... ...."left me in the rain for my brothers sisters cousins uncle and on the way out the door took my 'ol dog blue...ohhhhh boo hoo.." yea...ok then.....
NO Really.....
In all seriousness I am listening to rascall flats and Kenny chesney.....love Kenny...mmm yea...and RF have a really really nice song I was introduced to....about a broken road...sounds a bit odd..but its a nice song..so I say thank you to a certain someone for leading me to this song...
SO .....I must shower and hit the 'ol fake -n-bake today...fading fast here...not a good thing...and its the only source of some kind of sunlight @ the moment...I think that may be one of the factors ...lack of sun...for my insomnia... I have been told its called seasonal disorder or some such shit....
Have you ever noticed that there is always some diagnosis for whatever it is that may be ailing you? Whether it be headache's or a swollen finger or bad breath.....always some big medical terminology to describe and define your current condition....cant be that perhaps you have bad breath..slammed your finger in the drawer and drank entirely to much Vodka the night before?....
I mean seriously...when you watch those commercials about headaches and if you are having recurring ones then take "this" and all will be cured...I don't think so...if I was having recurring headaches for any length of time I do believe I would be finding out why....and stop trying to mask the symptoms....truly....
Ok I am done with today's rants....although I could return with some other rhetoric that I find amusing and worth spewing out....
Ciao babes

Oh My God.....
Tis the name of a song I am listening to @ the moment....By Pink ........love her...and this song is well ...HOT!!
Ok lets begin....
in the last hour I have talked to 2 of me bestest friends...Patti Anne and Binks...we had some laughs. Seems that Binks and I are in a similar situation...both kind of gotten ourselves involved with people we shall call mysterious.....and sometimes mysterious is to much of a mystery and that is scary/cool/hot/weird/and on and on.... but the advice we decided upon was that I need to bite the bullet and do as Patti says "FUCK IT " dive in and if its worth it.. its worth it..if not... its not my loss........wow........I so love my friends and I am so glad to have them both.....so I shall heed to the advice of my pals and see what's what...and solve my Shocking mystery. As Patti said ......I will live regardless....and always have my friends to stand by me...
Moving On....
I finally SLEPT!!! WOW!!....great to catch some Zzzzzzzzzzzzz's finally...although my brother's friends woke me up....seems one of his pals was a bit perturbed to find out that Berry so and so for some baseball team is on steroids and he wont watch Baseball anymore.....I know all of this cos he was YELLING it in the hallway outside of my room! nice. I am sorry to hear he is so disillusioned with this player guy...but can we not scream it outside of my bedroom door?
Thank you very little...
So X-mas is coming and I am not really in the holiday spirit...for some reason I don't know why....just seems so comercialized to me anymore....buy..buy...buy...spend..spend..spend... $$$$..yea....although I must admit seeing my gifts being opened by my family does make me smile in the nicest way...tis the best part.
Ok then... I have a feeling I will be sharing more on this public diary later on this evening...
Catch ya on the flip side...

Random thoughts
well obviously I am still up...still no sleep. I had actually fallen asleep on my couch when my brother banged on the door and woke me up. Seems he didn't want to stay over after the big wedding today...opted to come home and bug me....which is ok....its a good kind of bug.
So Suzilla called me tonight...always good to hear from her...she wants me to come back to Portland and hang out...not to sure if I will or not...I will definitely have to think about it. The thing is though...I went back to see everyone in Aug. and it was ..well....not to good of an experience and I am reluctant to have a repeat of the same ol' shit...but it is nice to be missed and needed......
I just finished and sent off my last essay......YES! Hope I did ok on it....so far I have received 2 B's and 1 A in that class......this will be the final grade. I never did get to the test..I am doing that in the morning as well as writing essays for B. Law. I don't know why I make this shit so hard...the writing part I mean...once I start I do enjoy the process...its just the getting started part that's the drag.
I must also tom. Sign up for my Spring classes........no more FLEX classes.....I need DEADLINES!!!....
Ok then mates.......hope you are all having fun and being funky....Certainly wish I was...
being funky that is...

Sandman send me a dream.......
INSOMNIA-Chronic inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time.
Yup. That would be me........I am a walking zombie......fucking feel like death. Why o why wont the sandman come take me by the hand and lead me to that all wonderful place I like to call sleep? I feel like I am being punished for something I have done...........either in this life or in a past one...I don't know if you all can relate to what it feels like to not be able to sleep...for... lemme me see now....approximately 10 days...but ITS NOT RIGHT!!! Fucked up in a big,big,way man...What's worse is nothing helps me sleep...Ambien,TY-PM's,trazadone...nothing...I know its due to stress...and I really don't know what else to do about that...the stress that is...I mean I workout, eat me vitamins....try and eat well and drink my 8 glasses of H2O a day...I do just about everything one would tell you to do........hell beer doesn't even work...I tried that last night...just to sleep...not having a few cold suds for the fun, but to sleep.......now that's whacked baby..truly...so after 3 beers I finally laid down at 4Am and I was up at 7Am...
cry...yup maybe I can cry myself to sleep....
somethings gotta give..
My bro is getting ready to jet on out of town 4 the night..my cousin is taking the VOWS today so Mr.C is going to go and attend the festivities. I wish my cuz all the best and all the happiness in the world.Congrats!
I must go and try and get some school work done...if I can concentrate long enough to get it done...
Oh boy aint life grand at times?

Dreamweaver........
I am in an 80's tunes slump today......just did my workout to all the groovin classics.......way fun....so here is a list of things I, Myself, must accomplish today.
1. Shower
2. Drive to Albertson’s and grab some java and kitty food.
3. Hit Starbucks while exiting.
4. Arrive back here at ground zero and write a paper....which is actually done to be truthful ;)
5. Take that ^&%$^%$^$!! Exam in my B.LAW course.
6. Pray for some real sleep.....
(Of course.....somewhere in there I needed to be dressed.....)
Sleep. Its been evading me for about 3 weeks now......like some reluctant lover...wants to be here and then reality hits.... and its the big....SEE YA!!
Really not much fun..
I do plan on updating my thoughts on current events here some time soon.....like tonight most likely.....as I have heard that Bush is sending more troops to Iraq.........not good.....I will elaborate more on that later....
But I do have something pretty funny to add here today.....I read this the other day...
Some crazy Right Wingers tried to get Bert and Ernie (of Sesame Street) pulled from public broadcasting because they were cohabitating. Can u believe this shit.....?
Ummmm..............puppets are made of.... well. Felt, for Christ’s sake. . Puppets whom are not living breathing organisms. and amongst other things don’t have genitals. But.... since they both wore pants and they both lived in the same place its blatantly obvious they are gay-puppets pulling each others strings...right....
What kind of sicko sat there and watched these two citrus-colored puppets singing about the alphabet and thought, " Hey those lil dudes are doing the nasty!"
Isn’t that kind of thinking just a bit deranged?
So I guess by censoring the broadcast as someone is misconstruing what the true message is....will in some way prevent children from becoming homosexuals.....that’s the whole point of the agenda now isn’t it?
I was always under the impression that at birth you were designed as to whom you would and wouldn’t be......I guess I got that wrong......seems that public broadcasting is the real culprit..
Those conniving bastards!!!
So.....all of you scared red state individuals grab your kids away from that Television...wouldn’t want to unduly influence the poor child...better let them go play some blood splattering/murdering SPS game or watch Britney Spears gyrate all over herself...
I don’t have children...if I did......
well at least they would get to watch sesamee street.....

Snow baby
Woke up and what do you know? Snow outside....Its a first for me in awhile. Now mind you I grew up in the Northwest and had become accustomed to the snowy, cold winters....but in the past few years in all my travels I haven't been living in areas where it snowed......so I must admit its quite nice. Its refreshing in some strange,cool way.
Today is me Friday and then I will have the next 5 days off from the J, veddy nice.....like a mini holiday.....I am in dire need of one.
I need to pay respects here to my bestest friend.......Patty Anne......we have been friends for the pat 5 years...best friends.....we worked together and had a blast @ the old J....I miss her dearly and am so grateful to have her as my friend. She just called me and made me feel so much better about everything....she is a great shoulder to have in times when I need that...which, my friends..... as of late.. is a lot......anyway I just wanted the world to know that this person is absolutely Fabulous! Everyone should be lucky enough to have a Patty Anne in their life.
Well with that I will sign off but before I go I would like to recommend a song ...we shall call it Coleyzzz song for the day. Train's "Get To Me" off their CD "My Private Nation".. tis a bitchin tune and makes me smile......as I can apply it to so many people in my life.....but today its especially for a certain someone...
Be good y'all!

Tell me a story....
I am having a fabulous day...and it is the best feeling. Don’t you just love it when you wake up and the first thing you feel is just plainly…amazing, which is accompanied by this big smile on your mug? It is truly a wonderful feeling. So.... I just checked on my grades and dammit man! I am so fucking smart! All A's baby! I feel like Irena Cara.... It is "what a feeling day" in a big, big way.
I have to say in all honesty that just about everything in my life is going pretty well. I had a good discussion with my boss yesterday and all is well at the big J.... which is good as I need the $$. School obviously is fabulous and then of course there is always this friend I have. Shocker...All I have to say is thank you...you make me smile. :)
Moving on...
I see that just about everyone in W's cabinet is resigning...how very interesting. Today Tom Ridge gave his resignation...he is the Homeland Security Director. Among the rest of the cast that are exiting stage left were/are Attorney General John Ashcroft, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Commerce Secretary Don Evans, Education Secretary Rod Paige, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman and Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham.Hope the future is brighter with the new replacements.
I must be off...bills are piling up, work is calling and the caffeine junkie in me is having a screaming fit...

B.Law, West.Civ & Lust
Okay.... I am ready to start me day I think. I just finished my hour-long workout and I am now having a quick cuppa Joe before I jump in the rain closet. I always feel guilty when I have a cuppa Joe after a workout as I should be re-hydrating my poor bod instead of pouring caffeine and sugar into it...ah well...cant be perfect al the time.
After the shower I must do 2 B.Law Assignments.... I have to write briefs on two cases and then I must write approximately 4 pages for me West. Civ. class.... should be a nice 6 to 8 hour day of writing. It should be good for me as it will keep my mind off of this person I shall call "Shocker".
Shocker is pretty good at keeping me distracted when I should be getting something constructive done such as my assignments or cleaning the windows or actually anything that I haven’t been getting too these past few days. It’s all-good though ;)
To be honest I need a few shocking distractions in my life…. from time to time…distractions can be a damn good thing…a damn good thing….
Moving on…
I haven’t had a chance to keep up with the current events in the big WORLD as of late as I have been to busy in my own lil world. I shall try to get updated this week so I can write something a bit more newsworthy here instead of my humdrum University life and my shocking distractions.
I bid a good Sunday to all...
Peace, Love Dove man...

Boxing Day in a Turkey way....sorta
Well it’s the day after the big feast and stores/Malls across the USofA are just plum filled with shoppin fools. Malls opened at 1AM this year I am told.... and the shoppers were a tramplin over one another in a human stampedish fashion. I have never understood the huge appeal of shopping the day after.... I spose its all of the so called sales...but if everyone would just wait until the day after X-Mas to do their shopping as I do…. then they wouldn’t have to submit themselves to a zillion other impatient frustrated shoppers trying to gain access to the last copy of Jessie Simpson’s latest Holiday Happiness CD.
Moving on......
My T-Day was as messed up as I accepted it to be...my family were...... as usual... very happy with one another and oh so vibrant with the holiday cheer.......
On a lighter note…….. my Turkey turned out terrific( even though my family had the patience of a shark in a feeding frenzy, it was an hour late) and the rest of da trimmings were fabulous as well.
Afterwards, my brother and I went out with his GF and that’s when the real HAPPY T-day began! Thank You Mr. C....I LOVE YA!!
I have 2 weeks of school left and a ton of work to do and I am looking forward to getting it all accomplished this weekend. I am so in a need of a break from school.........I hope to take a small vacation in Dec. for a few days of rest in relaxation. I may go up north to be with some friends......or a friend....we shall see....
Hope everyone enjoyed the yearly feast.....and are nurturing their much-deserved hangovers today..

The week of the Bird

Now I have always know what it meant...but I wasn't certain of why...So I did a lil research and this is what I found out
Hump Day-Wednesday, the middle of the work week, over the hump ....E.G.
Brian says if you can get through hump day, the rest of the week is easy.
The why part ...why in the world people call it Hump day....well......

My say on the matter.....
Okay folks I am sitting in my PJ’s wasitn the day away. So far I have accomplished well….nadda.
I have drank 3 cups of coffee, ate some soup (tomato), and ate 3 peanut butter cookies…all while watching Fargo…which is an excellent film, although the depiction of North Dakotans is, I am sure a bit far fetched, but hell it could be right on the money. I seriously hope not. No one geographic region can be made up completely, of stupid people. Can it?
Moving on….
I come into my room to check my email and I received an email from the organization http://www.moveon.org/ asking me to please participate in getting to the bottom of what really happened during this year’s election.
I have pasted it here…for all those who are interested in the happenings of that day…and of hopefully getting an investigation going.
Subject: Tell Congress to Investigate the 2004 Election
Dear friend,
Questions are swirling around whether the election was conducted honestly or not. We need to know -- was it or wasn't it?
If people were wrongly prevented from voting, or if legitimate votes were mis-counted or not counted at all, we need to know so the wrongdoers can be held accountable, and to help prevent this from happening again.
Members of Congress are demanding an investigation to answer this question. Join me in supporting their call, at:
http://www.moveon.org/investigatethevote/
Thanks.
After reading this I stared doing some surfing…. and I have to say that everyday I read or find something else that is so disturbing to me…. I actually become speechless…. at a total loss for words...as to how to describe my feelings for this Government.
People are still going on and on about the apparent Morals of the USA and its LEADER. I find this to be so ludicrous, I mean if you were to listen to the Republicans , if you protest this war, or the President, or if you believe in fair and basic rights and liberty for everyone, well then you are ANTI-AMERICAN. PERIOD
Well ok….
Here’s your Moral Prez…
http://static.vidvote.com/movies/bushuncensored.mov
If Kerry were to do this, can you just imagine what FOX news would do to him or for that matter what the evangelicals would say?
Rather hypocritical don’t you think?
I could go on and on about how I feel or think with regards to the current administration and its re-elected MANDATED leader… but instead, I was lucky enough to find an article that represents my view(s).
GOD HELP AMERICA, THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN (or have they? -ed.)
From the Daily Mirror- UK
THEY say that in life you get what you deserve. Well, today America has deservedly got a lawless cowboy to lead them further into carnage and isolation and the unreserved contempt of most of the rest of the world. This once-great country has pulled up its drawbridge for another four years and stuck a finger up to the billions of us forced to share the same air. And in doing so, it has shown itself to be a fearful, backward-looking and very small nation. This should have been the day when Americans finally answered their critics by raising their eyes from their own sidewalks and looking outward towards the rest of humanity.
And for a few hours early yesterday, when the exit polls predicted a John Kerry victory, it seemed they had. But then the horrible, inevitable truth hit home. They had somehow managed to re-elect the most devious, blinkered and reckless leader ever put before them. The Yellow Rogue of Texas. A self-serving, dim-witted, draft-dodging, gung-ho little rich boy, whose idea of courage is to yell: "I feel good," as he unleashes an awesome fury which slaughters 100,000 innocents for no other reason than greed and vanity.
A dangerous chameleon, his charming exterior provides cover for a power-crazed clique of Doctor Strangeloves whose goal is to increase America's grip on the world's economies and natural resources. And in foolishly backing him, Americans have given the go-ahead for more unilateral pre-emptive strikes, more world instability and most probably another 9/11. Why else do you think bin Laden was so happy to scare them to the polls, then made no attempt to scupper the outcome?
There's only one headline in town today, folks: "It Was Osama Wot Won It." And soon he'll expect pay-back. Well, he can't allow Bush to have his folks whoopin' and a-hollerin' without his own getting a share of the fun, can he?
Heck, guys, I hope you're feeling proud today.
To the tens of millions who voted for John Kerry, my commiserations. To the overwhelming majority of you who didn't, I simply ask: Have you learnt nothing? Do you despise your own image that much? Do you care so little about the world beyond your shores? How could you do this to yourselves? How appalling must one man's record at home and abroad be for you to reject him? Kerry wasn't the best presidential candidate the Democrats have ever fielded (and he did deserve a kicking for that "reporting for doo-dee" moment), but at least he understood the complexity of the world outside America, and domestic disgraces like the 45 million of his fellow citizens without health cover.
He would have done something to make that country fairer and re-connected it with the wider world. Instead America chose a man without morals or vision. An economic incompetent who inherited a $2billion surplus from Clinton, gave it in tax cuts to the rich and turned the US into the world's largest debtor nation. A man who sneers at the rights of other nations. Who has withdrawn from international treaties on the environment and chemical weapons. A man who flattens sovereign states then hands the rebuilding contracts to his own billionaire party backers. A man who promotes trade protectionism and backs an Israeli government, which continually flouts UN resolutions. ho invented a war on terror, and thus as author of it, believed he had the right to set the rules of engagement. America has chosen a menacingly immature buffoon who likened the pursuit of the 9/11 terrorists to a Wild West, Wanted Dead or Alive man-hunt and, during the Afghanistan war, kept a baseball scorecard in his drawer, notching up hits when news came through of enemy deaths.
A RADICAL Christian fanatic who decided the world was made up of the forces of good and evil, w Which translates to telling his troops to do what the hell they want to the bad guys. As he has at Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib and countless towns across Iraq. You have to feel sorry for the millions of Yanks in the big cities like New York, Washington, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco who voted to kick him out. These are the sophisticated side of the electorate who recognize a gibbon when they see one. As for the ones who put him in, across the Bible Belt and the South, us outsiders can only feel pity. Were I a Kerry voter, though, I'd feel deep anger, not only at them returning Bush to power, but for allowing the outside world to lump us all into the same category of moronic Muppets.
The self-righteous, gun-totin', military lovin', sister marryin', abortion-hatin', gay-loathin', foreigner-despisin', non-passport ownin' red-necks, who believe God gave America the biggest dick in the world so it could urinate on the rest of us and make their land "free and strong". You probably won't be surprised to learn of would-be Oklahoma Republican Senator Tom Coburn who, on Tuesday, promised to ban abortion and execute any doctors who carried them out. He also told voters that lesbianism is so rampant in the state's schools that girls were being sent to toilets on their own. Not that any principal could be found to back him up. These are the people who hijack the word patriot and liken compassion to child-molesting. And they are unknowingly bin Laden's chief recruiting officers. Al-Qaeda's existence is fuelled by the outpourings of America's Christian right. Bush is its commander-in-chief. And he and bin Laden need each other to survive.
Both need to play Lex Luther to each others' Superman with their own fanatical people. Maybe that's why the mightiest military machine ever assembled has failed to catch the world's most wanted man. Or is the reason simply that America is incompetent? That behind the bluff they are frightened and clueless, which is why they've stayed with the devil they know. VISITORS from another planet watching this election would surely not credit the amateurism. The queues for hours to register a tick; the 17,000 lawyers needed to ensure there was no cheating; the $1.2bn wasted by parties trying to discredit the enemy; the allegations of fraud, intimidation and dirty tricks; the exit polls which were so wildly inaccurate; an Electoral College voting system that makes the Eurovision Song Contest look like a beacon of democracy and efficiency; and the delays and the legal wrangles in announcing the victor.
Yet America would have us believe theirs is the finest democracy in the world. Well, that fine democracy has got the man it deserved. George W Bush. But is America safer today without Kerry in charge? A man who overnight would have given back to the UN some credibility and authority. Who would have worked out the best way to undo the Iraq mess without fear of losing face. Instead, the questions facing America today are - how many more thousands of their sons will die as Iraq descends into a new Vietnam? And how many more Vietnams are on the horizon now they have given Bush the mandate to go after Iran, Syria, North Korea or Cuba...? Today is a sad day for the world, but it's even sadder for the millions of intelligent Americans embarrassed by a gung-ho leader and backed by a banal electorate, half of whom still believe Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.
Yanks had the chance to show the world a better way this week, instead they made a thuggish cowboy ride off into the sunset bathed in glory. And in doing so it brought Armageddon that little bit closer and re-christened their beloved nation The Home Of The Knave and the Land Of The Freak.
God Help America.
I want to emphasize that I am dead set against this war in Iraq.Against anyone dictating to me what my reproductive rights should and shouldn’t be, against anyone trampling on an individuals right to love and marry the one they love…
I am dead set against the killing of innocent children in the name the USA…
US-led forces reach central Falluja By: Reuters in Falluja, Iraq November 9, 2004 15:32 GMT
US and Iraqi forces have punched to the heart of Falluja, consolidating positions in Iraq’s most rebellious city after a day of fierce combat. While bursts of gunfire could still be heard in some districts, residents said the sound of heavy bombardments and explosions eased off around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday (1:15 p.m. British time) after a night and day of intense fighting between US-led forces and rebels.
An American soldier wounded in Falluja said he had seen two of his colleagues killed.
”A buddy of mine and another soldier were killed and I have seen about 50 other wounded (US) soldiers since the fighting began,” he told Reuters while awaiting medical evacuation. He declined to give his name.
A Reuters reporter saw about five wounded soldiers being flown out by helicopter and a US military ambulance driver also said he had witnessed many casualties.
Among the Iraqis killed was a nine-year-old boy, severely injured by shrapnel in the abdomen when his home was bombarded by US jets overnight. His parents were unable to get him to hospital and he died hours later of blood loss, they said.
US, IRAQI CASUALTIES
The military has given no figures for US casualties since the assault on Falluja began on Monday evening.
There has also been no word on the total number of civilian casualties. Falluja residents said a US air strike hit a clinic in a central district, killing some medical staff and patients.
A Marines tank company commander -- part of a US-led force at least 10,000 strong -- said earlier guerrillas were battling hard in Falluja’s northern Jolan district.
”They are putting up a strong fight and I saw many of them on the street I was on,” Captain Robert Bodisch told Reuters.
Many families fled the city of 300,000 to escape air raids before the offensive. The US military said about 150,000 residents had taken refuge outside Falluja.
Residents said they had no power and used kerosene lamps at night. They kept to ground floors for safety. Telephones were erratic. Even food shops had been closed for six days.
Iraqi troops brought nine handcuffed prisoners to a railway station on the northern edge of the Jolan area where US and Iraqi forces are based. They said two of them were Egyptians and one was Syrian. The rest were Iraqis.
The interim Iraqi government and its US backers say foreign Muslim militants led by al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are holed up in Falluja along with Iraqi rebels.
The government says two Moroccans were among 38 people detained when Iraqi and US troops seized Falluja’s main hospital in the early hours of Monday.
POLICE STATION RAIDS
Rebels staged bloody attacks on police stations in Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, police said. A mortuary official said 45 people died in attacks and clashes in and around the city, although other officials played down that figure.
Zarqawi’s group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
”Al Qaeda lions launched an attack in Baquba, where mujahideen were able to raid three police stations and kill more than 45 policemen,” the Al Qaeda Organisation of Holy War in Iraq said in a statement posted on Islamist Web sites.
Around 50 gunmen attacked a police station in southwest Baghdad, leading to fierce street battles with police that were continuing at sundown on Tuesday. A police source said he feared there were casualties but had no details.
A suspected car bomb outside an Iraqi National Guard base near Kirkuk in the north killed three people and wounded two.
Sami al-Jumaili, a doctor at the main Falluja hospital who escaped arrest when it was taken, said the city was running out of medical supplies and only a few clinics remained open.
”There is not a single surgeon in Falluja. We had one ambulance hit by US fire and a doctor wounded. There are scores of injured civilians in their homes whom we can’t move.
”A 13-year-old child just died in my hands,” he said by telephone from a house where he had gone to help the wounded.
The government sees Falluja and its sister city of Ramadi as rebel havens that must be retaken before January elections.
Allawi urged the gunmen in Falluja to lay down their weapons and let Iraqi forces enter the city peacefully to spare it from further attacks, his spokesman Thaer al-Naqib told reporters at a US base near Falluja.
”The political solution is possible even if military operations are ongoing,” Naqib said.
The authorities have appointed a temporary military governor for Falluja, Major General Abdul Qader Mohan, the commander of the military operations in Falluja, he added.
I know that in war horrible things happen, but in the past we were at war for reasons other than blatant lies and profits.
I feel that the more people are shown/told what really is taking place over there and in this country, the better. Regardless of their political views…..Americans have the right to know what the government doesn’t want you to know…..
That does not make you or me UNAMERICAN…just a well informed AMERICAN!
http://www.sharedvoice.org/unamerican/
I will post something every week on my Blog about the war and the casualties over there, both civilian and military. I will not use the major media as my source…rather overseas media and journalists who are not saying or reporting what the government wants the American people to read or hear.
Now….I have had me say for today….time to play…

The queues for hours to register a tick; the 17,000 lawyers needed to ensure there was no cheating; the $1.2bn wasted by parties trying to discredit the enemy; the allegations of fraud, intimidation and dirty tricks; the exit polls which were so wildly inaccurate; an Electoral College voting system that makes the Eurovision Song Contest look like a beacon of democracy and efficiency; and the delays and the legal wrangles in announcing the victor.
Yet America would have us believe theirs is the finest democracy in the world. Well, that fine democracy has got the man it deserved. George W Bush. But is America safer today without Kerry in charge? A man who overnight would have given back to the UN some credibility and authority. Who would have worked out the best way to undo the Iraq mess without fear of losing face. Instead, the questions facing America today are - how many more thousands of their sons will die as Iraq descends into a new Vietnam? And how many more Vietnams are on the horizon now they have given Bush the mandate to go after Iran, Syria, North Korea or Cuba...? Today is a sad day for the world, but it's even sadder for the millions of intelligent Americans embarrassed by a gung-ho leader and backed by a banal electorate, half of whom still believe Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11.
Yanks had the chance to show the world a better way this week, instead they made a thuggish cowboy ride off into the sunset bathed in glory. And in doing so it brought Armageddon that little bit closer and re-christened their beloved nation The Home Of The Knave and the Land Of The Freak.
God Help America.
I want to emphasize that I am dead set against this war in Iraq.Against anyone dictating to me what my reproductive rights should and shouldn’t be, against anyone trampling on an individuals right to love and marry the one they love…
I am dead set against the killing of innocent children in the name the USA…
US-led forces reach central Falluja By: Reuters in Falluja, Iraq November 9, 2004 15:32 GMT
US and Iraqi forces have punched to the heart of Falluja, consolidating positions in Iraq’s most rebellious city after a day of fierce combat. While bursts of gunfire could still be heard in some districts, residents said the sound of heavy bombardments and explosions eased off around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday (1:15 p.m. British time) after a night and day of intense fighting between US-led forces and rebels.
An American soldier wounded in Falluja said he had seen two of his colleagues killed.
”A buddy of mine and another soldier were killed and I have seen about 50 other wounded (US) soldiers since the fighting began,” he told Reuters while awaiting medical evacuation. He declined to give his name.
A Reuters reporter saw about five wounded soldiers being flown out by helicopter and a US military ambulance driver also said he had witnessed many casualties.
Among the Iraqis killed was a nine-year-old boy, severely injured by shrapnel in the abdomen when his home was bombarded by US jets overnight. His parents were unable to get him to hospital and he died hours later of blood loss, they said.
US, IRAQI CASUALTIES
The military has given no figures for US casualties since the assault on Falluja began on Monday evening.
There has also been no word on the total number of civilian casualties. Falluja residents said a US air strike hit a clinic in a central district, killing some medical staff and patients.
A Marines tank company commander -- part of a US-led force at least 10,000 strong -- said earlier guerrillas were battling hard in Falluja’s northern Jolan district.
”They are putting up a strong fight and I saw many of them on the street I was on,” Captain Robert Bodisch told Reuters.
Many families fled the city of 300,000 to escape air raids before the offensive. The US military said about 150,000 residents had taken refuge outside Falluja.
Residents said they had no power and used kerosene lamps at night. They kept to ground floors for safety. Telephones were erratic. Even food shops had been closed for six days.
Iraqi troops brought nine handcuffed prisoners to a railway station on the northern edge of the Jolan area where US and Iraqi forces are based. They said two of them were Egyptians and one was Syrian. The rest were Iraqis.
The interim Iraqi government and its US backers say foreign Muslim militants led by al Qaeda ally Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are holed up in Falluja along with Iraqi rebels.
The government says two Moroccans were among 38 people detained when Iraqi and US troops seized Falluja’s main hospital in the early hours of Monday.
POLICE STATION RAIDS
Rebels staged bloody attacks on police stations in Baquba, northeast of Baghdad, police said. A mortuary official said 45 people died in attacks and clashes in and around the city, although other officials played down that figure.
Zarqawi’s group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
”Al Qaeda lions launched an attack in Baquba, where mujahideen were able to raid three police stations and kill more than 45 policemen,” the Al Qaeda Organisation of Holy War in Iraq said in a statement posted on Islamist Web sites.
Around 50 gunmen attacked a police station in southwest Baghdad, leading to fierce street battles with police that were continuing at sundown on Tuesday. A police source said he feared there were casualties but had no details.
A suspected car bomb outside an Iraqi National Guard base near Kirkuk in the north killed three people and wounded two.
Sami al-Jumaili, a doctor at the main Falluja hospital who escaped arrest when it was taken, said the city was running out of medical supplies and only a few clinics remained open.
”There is not a single surgeon in Falluja. We had one ambulance hit by US fire and a doctor wounded. There are scores of injured civilians in their homes whom we can’t move.
”A 13-year-old child just died in my hands,” he said by telephone from a house where he had gone to help the wounded.
The government sees Falluja and its sister city of Ramadi as rebel havens that must be retaken before January elections.
Allawi urged the gunmen in Falluja to lay down their weapons and let Iraqi forces enter the city peacefully to spare it from further attacks, his spokesman Thaer al-Naqib told reporters at a US base near Falluja.
”The political solution is possible even if military operations are ongoing,” Naqib said.
The authorities have appointed a temporary military governor for Falluja, Major General Abdul Qader Mohan, the commander of the military operations in Falluja, he added.
I know that in war horrible things happen, but in the past we were at war for reasons other than blatant lies and profits.
I feel that the more people are shown/told what really is taking place over there and in this country, the better. Regardless of their political views…..Americans have the right to know what the government doesn’t want you to know…..
That does not make you or me UNAMERICAN…just a well informed AMERICAN!
http://www.sharedvoice.org/unamerican/
I will post something every week on my Blog about the war and the casualties over there, both civilian and military. I will not use the major media as my source…rather overseas media and journalists who are not saying or reporting what the government wants the American people to read or hear.
Now….I have had me say for today….time to play…

My Monday
O.k. I just got off of work, and it was ok, had a few laughs and ate allot of cookies, not a bad night. :)
I wanted to spew my opinion on the hot issue of the week. …MORALS.
Seems that the majority of people voted not with their hearts or heads but with their Morals…..
So... My question: What "moral" issues are the Republicans/Christians/ANYONE talking about? I honestly scratch my head in bewilderment about this issue. Enlighten me, please! Is it just gay marriage and abortion?
I know abortion is a hot topic and I respect anyone's philosophical repudiation of it. But killing innocent people in a "preemptive" war is more immoral to me than abortion, which just means removing a few undifferentiated cells from a woman's uterus. If you're against abortion, don't have one!
Gay marriage-- what the fuck does that have to do with morality? Gay marriage doesn’t hurt ANYONE , never has and never will.
To me the real moral issues have to deal with the real everyday issues. Not protecting wildlife, destroying the environment, gutting the rainforests, these things are terrible and shameful and immoral to me. Leaving the mentally ill to die hungry on the street is shameful and immoral.
Everyday Citizens who cannot afford Medical Insurance or pay for their prescriptions, that’s a little immoral to me. Keeping the minimum wage so low that people who work 80 hours a week can't afford their rent is immoral.
Morals?
For one thing, how and why did the Moral issue become a political issue?
Is it a political ploy?...to make people feel guilty about how they feel and what they do in their personal lives...
Perhaps?
Now I feel a bit better...
Told ya I would have somethin interesting 2 say...
Well I at least think it was.... interesting
and anyone who knows me knows
ITS ALL ABOUT ME BABY!!!:)

Why I love the WEB
Well another day...gone, but not a total loss. I actually did get a few things accomplished, but nothing that relates to school. Just cannot seem to get into the groove of things when it comes to my assignments and reading...no ambition, no drive, no VAVOOM.....
Anyway...
I received a few DVD's from Netflix...(which I totally recommend for anyone who loves movies or documentaries or ANYTHING that is on DVD) anyway I received the first season of the West Wing and the 2003 version of Texas chainsaw massacre (A Halloween dealy).Well I pop in the TCS, and I start to get a bit interested in the main character "Leather Face". So plop down in front of me PC and Google TCS. Well... it turns out that this character was based on a true-life serial killer by the name of Ed Gein. Well anyway...anyone who has seen TCS knows that the directors and producers claim that the film is based on actual true events, and well I found out today that is not entirely true. Despite being heavily touted as "inspired by a true story," both Tobe Hooper's original 1974 film and the 2003 Marcus Nispel remake are only lightly based on the real-life murderer Ed Gein, who is suspected to have taken several victims between 1954 and 1957. Perhaps the most recognizable similarity is the film's house, whose gruesome content was similar to that found in Ed Gein's home in 1957. So that is that.... kinda.
I start thinking about the title "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and it gets me to thinking lol ...about George W Bush and his Massacre on the presidency(MOP for short)
I start a surfin about his lies, manipulations and deceit..etc....and well I came across what I think is a great site for anyone interested in reading the "other" news when it comes to W.
Its called Tvnewslies.org...and if one is interested in what they have to say....here ya go.
http://www.tvnewslies.org/index.html
I have to say that I am very grateful to live in the Information Age which has given us the tools that when one wants...one can gain access to so much information with so much ease... just a click of the mouse......and 'voila.. Information Paradise!
Now I know that not all of the sites on the web are credible, but hey we live in a world where credibility and reliability has become obsolete. BUT, with a little perseverance and research one can find useful info.
Like tonight when I found out the lil tid bits about the TCM... that the story isn't ...in all actuality what it is all cracked up to be...
And in the process came across a nifty new site, that also sheds some light on 'ol W ... .
Seems he isn't all he is cracked up to be either...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Love the web...I do ...I do.

TCM 2004 was a terrible fim.....1974 was mucho better...far be it from me to be able to say what is and isnt good regarding horror fims, they truly are not my forte', but all the same it was horrible.
I shoulda stuck with the West Wing......cant go wrong with a hollywood White House.
