honor

My annual Samhain toast - To those we've loved and lost

Is iad na Amrhain dar Sinsear, na Amrhain dar gClann friesin.
"The Songs of our Ancestors are also the Songs of our Children"

Know that time is an illusion and that you are already long dead. As you raise your cup know that your Children's children's children raise toast to your dim memory and faded bones. Likewise our own forgotten ancestors raise toast to their own, secure in the knowledge of their being in that brief and tiny flame called Life.

A Prayer for the Honored Dead

Ring the cold iron bell thrice, then thrice, then thrice again
To call the raven to the Feast
Rap hard the horses bones on shattered shards of broken bowls
To call the BoneWalker to his Charge

Cast yourself down on muddy ground beside warm ashes
And dare to grasp an ember and toss it to the frozen river.

These are the Stones unbound by Cord, that we now stand in memory
Grown from the buried Bones of fallen dreams
Fed by the offal of worms well-fed on cast-off Masks
And watered by stilled Blood and unshed tears

You we loved
You we honored
You we fought and walked with
You we laid next to and kept our distance from
We heard your thoughts, and dreamt your words
Now we sit and stare and wonder at a silence so complete

Where ever you are, may you find
Peace if you seek rest
Anger if you crave conflict
Love if you would give more
Want if you require perspective
Hunger if you offer bread
And a new life if deeds be left undone that are not ours to do.

May we meet again, if we should meet again.
But may you never leave us, until our memories, too,
Are but the Stones stood in our name.

Wed cookie would like to see it your way...even though it's wrong

"Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes." –Anonymous
What now?

Huh? WTF...Huh?

Ok, perusing my favorite politico blogs, I find out that Terry Bradshaw (yes, the former football player) while at a motivational lecture was tossing out wristbands of a charity he supports for "Pigs for Jesus"....*headcock* Huh?

First off, I'm pretty sure Yeshua was Jewish. That whole Kosher thing, probably took it seriously. Yep, pretty sure they didn't have BLTs at the last supper. Plus there is that whole thing about casting Legion into a herd of pigs. I'm not sure that he's appreciate their support.

Now, the charity is actually a slaughter house that takes profits and funnels them toward needy children. I can see however why they didn't go for "Slaughter for Jesus". But why "Pigs for Jesus?" There is so many other names they could have used.

Have you ever read something completely wrong?

So this morning (granted it was before coffee - B.C.)I was reading headlines and came across... "NYT: First Lady's slave roots revealed".

However my addled brain read it as: "NYT:First Lady's slave robots revealed". and thinking "Oh this never ends well."

City of Heroes

So, today ended my 14 free spree into the world of superheros. For those of you who play such online MMORPGs (no, I don't know what it means...I'm 40 and not cool or hip) I thought it was an intresting adventure. I got to run around and put the smackdown on a variety of bad guys. Unfortunately I'm not willing to pay for the experience on a regular basis. To be honest, I don't need the extra distraction. Two weeks wasn't enough time to get into it enough to find a team or get to the point of having the cool super powers. So meh, I'm not missing out on a lot. My only regret is that it doesn't come as a stand alone game. So when I occasionally need to beat the crap out of something online to unwind, I could just fire it up on the computer. Oh well, there is other games for that.
