			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My mind is filled with thoughts of you</p>
<p>My heart is filled with joy&#8230;.</p>
<p>Your voice to me is so so dear,</p>
<p>You leave me with no single fear&#8230;.</p>
<p>I think of you, all of the days, and well into the night</p>
<p>I wish to have you by my side and well within my sight</p>
<p>I long to reach out with my hands and touch into your soul</p>
<p>My heart is filled with so much love for you I can&#8217;t say no</p>
<p>And when i see you in my dreams my heart fills up inside</p>
<p>With so much joy so deep inside my feelings i could never hide</p>
<p>And inside my soul I long to find the same thing inside yours,</p>
<p>To have you near and dear to me, is what i&#8217;ve always searched for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Scientists say that DNA, the building blocks of life, contains many past genetic codes that are no longer used in our genome. So does that mean that our DNA is evolving as well and if that&#8217;s the case, did it start out as much less of the size it is today? (I.E. kinda like the movie Tron, where the master control program gathered new code to add to its complexity.)</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been theorized that all mass creates its own gravity. So the larger the mass the larger the pull of gravity. Light bends around objects with gravity and slows down. Observers say that if you stand a mile away and  look at people walking near the pyramids in Egypt that they can actually be seen moving slower than someone farther away. Meaning that time slows down when you near masses with stronger gravities. If this is true, then maybe vacations to the pyramids would mean a longer vacation! <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1st Verse:</p>
<p>I knew that you were someone good for me</p>
<p>The day that we first met</p>
<p>I felt so good as we conversed, as we walked</p>
<p>That you were special, and kind, and true</p>
<p>The words you spoke about your life, so far</p>
<p>And I understood what you went through</p>
<p>Because I&#8217;ve gone through the same things, that you&#8217;ve gone through</p>
<p>I know you could never make me blue</p>
<p>Chorus:</p>
<p>And now we&#8217;re here and they&#8217;re all gone</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the way that life comes through</p>
<p>To find the love that lasts forever and ever</p>
<p>Is what I&#8217;d always planned to do</p>
<p>The shine of your smile, the warmth of your embrace</p>
<p>The feelings that you give to me</p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad that I have had the chance to reach out to you</p>
<p>I promise I will never make you blue</p>
<p>2nd Verse:</p>
<p>We spent some time together here and else where there</p>
<p>You ran your fingers through my hair</p>
<p>My heart was just a flutter and my arms felt like butter</p>
<p>I knew that you were the one to make me care</p>
<p>And when I looked into your deep blue eyes</p>
<p>The world just seemed to disappear</p>
<p>To have you with me til the end of time</p>
<p>Is just what I would like to share</p>
<p>Chorus:</p>
<p>Chorus:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The day was overcast and cold, the sky was a strange color of red and greens, and there was a strange metallic taste to the air around me. As I put my clothes on to leave the hospital after being released, the strange doctor from days ago visited me once again. &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry to tell you&#8221; he said, &#8220;that I still have as of yet to come up with a solution to sending you back to your own universe.&#8221; He had a worried look on his face, his hair and beard looked like he hadn&#8217;t showered and shaved in a week, and his clothes were wrinkled as if he had slept in them a few days. &#8220;What is going to happen to me doc?&#8221; I said to him. He turned back to me on the hospital bed and said, &#8220;Son, it&#8217;s only going to get worse if I can&#8217;t get you back home ag&#8211;&#8221; and with that I had disappeared into nothingness again as the wind carried me away, moving into yet another universe.</p>
<p>This time there was nothing for miles to be seen. No people, buildings, animals, plants, or anything else that would indicate that I was in a world of my own. There was no breeze, the sky was solid gray, and the ground was a dull brown. The air smelled like burnt flesh and the ground felt hard as rock. There were no sounds anywhere to be heard and the stillness felt like I was the only sole left on earth. I walked for a few hours but never saw anything different, until I came upon a large black sphere the size of a small house. There were no doors or windows or any other way of gaining access into it, and the bottom tenth of the sphere was buried deep into the hard ground below. When I ran my fingers over the surface, it felt cool to the touch. I could almost push my hand into it as if it were a giant beach ball. I circled all around the circumference and experienced the exact same thing. By the time i got around to the start of where I was originally, a hand reached out from inside and pulled me deep inside the sphere. It was pitch dark inside and I couldn&#8217;t see my hands in front of my face. I could breath in air but at the same time could feel the walls just inches from my skin. The sides of the walls were slimy and felt like the inner surface of the human mouth. I could feel the breeze blow through what must have been tiny holes in the membrane. As I stood there, I seemed to be balanced on a cushion of air floating in this black sphere. As it began to move, I could feel my orientation of up and down to change. Faster and faster the sphere seemed to move like it was rolling down a hill. I couldn&#8217;t feel the terrain that it was moving over, but I could feel the changes in momentum as it gained speed. All at once it felt like it stopped accelerating and came to a stop.  It remained at this state for what seemed like hours, maybe even days, as all measure of time was irrelevant in this dark void that I was trapped in. All of a sudden everything around me began to shake, and vibrate, and rattle. The walls of my tomb started to push me back and forth, and the vibrations were causing my bones to ache from the pressure. The air was heating up as I began to sweat. I could feel a cold liquid start to flow at my feet as the fluid slowly rose up my legs. It was so cold and slimy feeling as it rose to my waist line and began to creep up to my chest. I was beginning to panic as it reached my chin and I screamed as it reached my mouth. I held my breath as long as I could, but sooner or later I knew I was going to have to breath in. My lungs were burning and I knew I could hold it no longer. As I breathed the fluid into my lungs, it was like swallowing a gush of jam or jelly. It taste horrible and the pressure was building up in my lungs and throat. Before I could think any further my mind drifted off into unconsciousness as I left the world I knew.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I opened the door to the room, it was again free of any blood that I&#8217;d seen in times past, our should I say in times future? Or was it all just a nightmare, and was I now back in the world of reality? The line seems to have blurred on what is fact and what truly is fiction. My mind is no longer able to tell the difference. As I stood motionless in the room, I felt the wind again to blow past me and like a filter of sanity being pulled from in front of my eyes, the room changed from its normal state back to the bloody mess of days prior. But this time Rachael was now lying on the bed, her throat slashed, her flesh in mangled disorder, as if a knife had haphazardly sliced through the flesh in every direction. Her once blond hair was now stained red with blood, and her eyes stared blankly at the ceiling above with an expression of horror written across her face. I ran back into the bathroom at the end of the room and vomited into the sink, heaving anything that was left in my stomach. The reality was hitting home hard as I sobbed and screamed at the gods for putting me into this mess. My hands were shaking and my body quivered as I stood in front of the mirror, my eyes red and bloodshot from the anguish. Before I could move an inch I was whisked from the place I was standing and again transported back into the cell where I once sat only days ago. The cell floor was flooded in a puddle of blood and the gashes in my arms were dripping my blood onto the floor. I heard a guard yell just before I fell into unconsciousness once again.</p>
<p>When I awoke, I was in a hospital bed, my arms were bandaged and my wrists were bound to the bed. There was an IV bag hanging from a hook over my head and a number of instruments were chirping from the side of the room. There was a doctor standing with his back to me writing on a clipboard facing the wall. His hair was shoulder length, and I noticed that his shoes were muddy. There was a strange metal band strapped around his head and he was mumbling something incoherently to himself. As he turned and faced me, his face was scarred, and a few of his teeth were missing from his mouth. He slowly walked over to my bedside and spoke in a deep voice, &#8220;You, my friend, are in a great deal of danger.&#8221; As he spoke I could smell a horrid aroma of raw fish and onions. His stare was icy and cold, and it made my soul shiver. &#8220;You have been moving between plains of existence and don&#8217;t belong in this part of reality. I have been conducting experimentation on a device that can transport matter between parallel universes and back again.&#8221; He reached down and put a metal bracelet around my wrist with a series of different colored LED lights adorned across the top of the device. &#8220;I&#8217;ve checked your blood and it contains an extremely high amount of iron, phosphate, and a substance that i cannot recognize. It has disrupted the static field of your aurora and allowed you to travel between the multiple universes each and every time I  run my experiments. Each time you travel, your alternate dimensional self disappears, never to return back into his universe, seemingly disappearing from existence.&#8221; The veins in his temples were throbbing and pulsing like his blood was pumping it to a pressure that would burst within seconds. His anger was growing but seemed to be held at bay. &#8220;For reasons I cannot understand, you have remained and able pass to the next reality at each jump. If something changes and you and your anti-you come in contact, then the resulting connection could be disastrous for our universe and all of the universes in the infinite cosmos.&#8221; He started pacing and walked back and forth by my bedside. &#8220;I&#8217;ve ceased my experiments, but the longer you stay in the realities that aren&#8217;t yours, the more energy radiates from the gap in between this universe and the next. It expands at an alarming rate and I fear if i don&#8217;t get you back soon, everything and everyone will cease to exist.&#8221; My mind was starting to go in a spin. My vision was getting blurry and focused to a small point like i was in a collapsing tunnel closing all around me. My heart was racing and my pulse felt like the pressure was about to explode. My head felt like a rock in a rock tumbler. I tried to speak but no sound eminated from my lips. After a moment of thinking, he spoke again.&#8221; Don&#8217;t fear, I&#8217;m going to solve this before it all ends and send you back to where you belong. You&#8217;ll be in the hospital here for a few days and that should give me enough time to come up with a solution. I will return in a few days and check on you again.&#8221; He walked out of the room and as the door closed, I could feel my stomach lurch in panic. My eyes were rolling back into my head as the pain shot from my fingers to the top of my head. Sweat was pouring down my face and I thought I might pass out when all of a sudden a woman walked into the room. It was Rachael. She was perfectly fine. No gouges, no cuts, no slashes, and no blood. Her hair was red, but that was obviously the bottle type. She smiled as soon as she saw me and tears were streaming down her face as she grabbed me and held me tight. It felt good to see her again, my heart felt heavy and it felt good to be in her arms again. When she spoke it was like an angel from above. &#8220;Oh my god darling, I thought you were dead. When the police told me what you did, I almost died.&#8221; She grabbed my hand and there was a ring on her finger, we were married! How could this be, I had only just met her.  As I stood there in disbelief, a wave of confusion brushed against my soul, and i recalled what the doctor had told me of the multi-verses, the mutliple realities, and it all made sense. Or as much sense as it could for my level of understanding. As she held me in her arms, I felt relaxed again and was slowly falling asleep, hoping that when I awoke I would be home again, back in the reality where I belonged.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I awoke, I was in a white room. No doors, no windows, just white! I was starting to feel like I was in an episode of the Twilight Zone. I could not hear any sounds besides the beating of my own heart and the sound of my breathing. There were no echoes off the wall from my voice and when i walked over the floor it made no sound. The floor was fairly soft but seemed to be made of a material I had never seen before. When I placed my hand on the wall, it felt exactly like the floor, and looked no different from it either. The room seemed to be a perfect square with all the corners slightly rounded to give the impression of no seam. Where the walls and the floor met was the same thing. The room appeared to look larger than it really was, for me to walk from one end of the room to the other only took about 13 steps. By the height of the ceiling, I surmised that it was the same distance.</p>
<p>I sat down on the floor and was about to lay down and take a quick nap when my body seem to change into a form that allowed it to easily pass through the floor and into a vast darkness of nothing. I could feel the force of the wind rush by my body as if I were falling endlessly into some great expanse that had no up, down, or any other direction. The white room had totally disappeared and now my body was glowing with a soft shimmer of luminescence. I could see my hands and body, but nothing else around me. Was I totally losing my mind or had I entered another dimension of space and time? Was I only asleep in my bed and dreaming all of this craziness? Or did I somehow die and this was the pit of hell that I would forever live in for all of eternity? Only time would tell for sure. After a few minutes more the wind seemed to start growing in intensity and I could hardly keep my lungs from blowing outward from the pressure that was streaming in. I could hardly keep my eyes open anymore, tears were running down my face as the wind blew at them to where I could not see anything around me.  I could feel the skin on my body start to stretch with the force of the wind upon my raw hurting flesh. My ears were beginning to bleed from the pressure building up inside the sockets and my head was beginning to hurt more and more like a jackhammer was inside fighting to work its way out. Just before I felt like I might pass out into unconsciousness&#8230;.</p>
<p>I was now standing on a street in a suburban neighborhood. It wasn&#8217;t one that I was familiar with. And there wasn&#8217;t a single person to be found. The houses seemed to all be abandoned. The street was dirty and the houses looked like they hadn&#8217;t been lived in for a long, long time. They were all painted in dull colors of greys and browns and dirty colored white and yellows. There were no lights on in any of the windows that I could see as I walked by and the street that I was on just seemed to go on in both directions to infinity. The lawns all looked like they hadn&#8217;t been mowed in a long time and were full of weeds and barren patches of dead grass. It seemed like I was walking for miles before I came upon the only house that was totally different from the rest. It had a bright red door with the cleanest white siding I had ever seen. It was more like a solid piece of metal that covered the outside of the house and wrapped around every side with no sharp angles in the corners. It had a ceramic shingle type roof but contained not one window on the whole exterior. The house had no door knob but was slightly ajar like it was beckoning me to enter. After a few moments of contemplating my decision to enter, I decided I had nothing else to lose, as I reached out for the door it swung open and allowed me to enter into the dark rooms inside. It was like entering into a Victorian style home from the past. Cobwebs were everywhere and it looked as if there hadn&#8217;t been a living soul residing here in decades. All at once and from out of nowhere a strong wind blew past me and slammed the door shut. I ran to the door, but there was no handle to open the door with. There was also no seam between the door and the frame like if it had never existed in the first place and as I pounded my fists on the place the door had been it made no noise at all. It was impervious to any means that I had at my disposal. I decided to explore the rooms of the house and see if I could discover a way out of the house. I searched through all the rooms on the ground floor and couldn&#8217;t find any way out of this new prison I had walked into. All of a sudden from upstairs, there was a loud crash that sounded like a garbage can and lid being kicked over. I cautiously walked up the steps and heard a motor humming in the room at the end of the hall and I could feel a strange vibration in the floor boards. There was a light shinning from under the door and I proceeded toward the room. As I walked across the floor, the boards creaked slightly and I didn&#8217;t feel very stealthy in my advance down this long, dimly lit hallway. When I reached the door, I looked down and saw shadows pass by from under the door inside the room. I really wasn&#8217;t too sure now about the idea of entering this room, but I knew that I had to do something. I put my hand on the doorknob and turned it slowly until the door mechanism released. As I slowly opened the door and walked inside, and to my surprise, I was now standing in the bedroom bath of my house. Everything was like it was, before I was taken away by the police that night a few days ago. I decided to splash some water on my face before opening the door again. Would I find the strange hallway I came from, before entering this room? Or will I be back in my house, my bedroom? And what state will I find it in when I cross over the bathroom threshold?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve waited so long, for a girl like you</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know what to feel, it&#8217;s too new</p>
<p>You share in your heart, and I share mine too</p>
<p>The love that we feel will never make us blue</p>
<p>The days are so long, and the nights are long too</p>
<p>To bring you to me is what i want to do</p>
<p>I look at you now but i don&#8217;t know how</p>
<p>To get to the place in our hearts</p>
<p>That we know can only come to show</p>
<p>Of a life together forever</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Does anyone ever think what happens to the trash after the garbage man picks it up and hauls it away? Do you know where it goes after it empties from your garbage container?</p>
<p>Well the truth is that the mounting amount of trash, first begun in the 1950&#8242;s as companies started creating packaged products to create a new market for the producers of everyday products. We throw away on average, in America alone, 340 million  tons of municipal waste, which averages to about 1.272 tons per person per year.</p>
<p>Where does all that waste go?</p>
<p>Recycling accounts for 30% of that amount with large processing centers in use to separate metals, plastics, glass, and paper out of the trash to send the rest of what&#8217;s left to landfills.<br />
But the trash doesn&#8217;t always make it that far, a lot of careless humans litter the countryside, which eventually ends up in our rivers to be carried out to the ocean where a floating mass of plastics, that don&#8217;t biodegrade, has accumulated in the center of the Pacific and Atlantic oceans that is roughly the size of Texas. Can we really afford to be this careless? Animals and sea creatures swallow a lot of this material resulting in loss of many species due to the toxins in the plastics. Is this the legacy we want to leave to our children?</p>
<p>When will we reach a day when the amount of garbage starts to effect our own health and welfare? What can we do to change this trend into a better future?</p>
<p>It all starts with you and me!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As I sat alone in my cell at the sheriffs department, my head was spinning with thoughts and images that I could not bring myself to accept in the sane world that I&#8217;ve lived my life in. Even though I washed my hands in the dirty filthy sink of my new abode, I could still see the blood stains forged into my flesh. The sight of the carnage of blood everywhere like it was forever glued to the back of my irises. As I sat on my bunk in my cell, the horror hit me like a knife through the heart, will I ever see Rachael again? Is she dead or just somewhere else in another dimension? Even though there was blood everywhere, she was no where to be found. Was it her blood that was all over the room? Obviously it wasn&#8217;t mine, so who&#8217;s blood could it have been? And why was there nothing else but blood? No body, or parts of a body? It just all seemed like a bad nightmare, not reality. I knew that there would be no sleep for me tonight, but the way I felt, I really didn&#8217;t want to ever sleep again, no less continue living on. Even though I didn&#8217;t know her for that long, we&#8217;d been dating for a month now, I was really starting to get to know her better and develop some serious feelings for her. We met on one of those internet dating sites. She was so positive about meeting so quickly, I had never met anyone off the internet before and wasn&#8217;t exactly sure if this type of meeting someone was the best thing to do. We chatted online and then decided to meet in person. When I saw her walk in, her long blond curly hair, the cute little smile when she saw me sitting at the table in the cafe, and her bright blue eyes shinning in the evening sunlight that beamed through the front windows of the cafe. She hugged me right away, I wasn&#8217;t expecting that, and as we talked over coffee, we realized that destiny was a funny thing. It can bring two people together from such great distances and still have a plan over the outcomes of the players in the story of life. As we spent more and more time together, we discovered that love was creeping into our lives and that we were finding happiness out of the gloom of the world. We&#8217;d spent a few intimate moments together, but before this had all happened, I had never truly thought about ever losing this new love that I had found. But now as I sat in solitary thought by myself, I started to feel the sadness in my heart, that I might have lost her forever. I couldn&#8217;t help feeling the rush of emotions for her that I thought that she must still be alive somewhere. I don&#8217;t understand why I was feeling like this, but it was almost like I knew something that I didn&#8217;t understand and would soon come to realize. The tears were on my face now, but no sound was coming from my voice. An officer came by to give me my meal for the night, but eating was not much of an interest as was the thought of sleeping.</p>
<p>After a few hours of laying on my bunk, I started to feel a burning in my arm, it was like hot wax being dripped onto my flesh. As I pushed my sleeve up on my arm, I could see colors pulsing across the flesh of my arm; blue, red, green, yellow, purple, it was like a strobe of colors. I could feel the burn move up my shoulder, down my legs and to my face. It was growing in intensity until I could no longer bear it anymore and I slowly drifted into unconsciousness. When I awoke I was in a grassy field. There was crickets chirping and the sun was just rising in the sky. The birds were chirping in the nearby trees and the coolness of the wet ground was refreshing to my skin. There was no longer any colors or burning on my flesh, and I thought maybe I was dreaming. I pinched my arm and Ouch! That hurt! I must be awake then and not just in a dream, but I was in a place i had never seen before. I walked toward the trees and could see a faint light far off in the distance within the trees. As I got closer to the lights I could see that they were silver eyes staring out at me. I could see the teeth of an immense beast as it opened its mouth and growled out of the darkness of the trees. The growl of it&#8217;s voice sounded like the roar of an animal 3 times the size of a normal earthly lion and the vapor from it&#8217;s breath was radiating red and blue sparks. I froze in my tracks and was motionless, fearing that it might charge and attack me. As I slowly backed away, i could feel its cold gaze upon me, and as I turned and ran, I could hear it pursue after me. I ran as fast as I could, but in the process of running, fell to the ground and watched in slow motion as the beast lunged and dug its teeth deep into the flesh of my leg. The blood and the pain was so intense and I fought to break free, but could not. As I slipped into unconsciousness once again,  the life slipping away, and the darkness engulfing my soul, the world around me disappeared into nothing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a recent gripe I have regarding a cell phone I recently purchased.</p>
<p>I ordered a cell online from MetroPCS and the site said it couldn&#8217;t complete the order. After a few days I received the phone in the mail and my credit card was charged for the transaction. The deal that was offered was a $89 dollar phone and the deal was for a rebate of $90 dollars. After activating the phone and not receiving a receipt either with the phone or thru email, I tried to contact them to get them to provide a receipt. Their support line is an endless loop of a computer that won&#8217;t connect you to an agent. After that, I tried online with an agent there, they said they could not help me, I went into one of their offices, they said they could not help me, I sent an email and guess the answer I got? after a week of trying to get a SIMPLE receipt for this product, I told them now after many days of frustration and their refusal to email me a simple receipt to refund my money and i&#8217;m sending them their damn phone back. I will never ever go with those idiots again for cell service and anyone who does beware! Their network coverage  is the lowest of any provider and their customer service is the worst.</p>
