What destroys more relationships I think than anything else, regardless of what type of relationship in reference, is when those involved lose sight of that which they admire and respect in the other, wherein the "magic" lies. When the going gets tough for whatever reason, the focus becomes more on what's wrong, causing what's right to disappear from view and if left like this, the right fades until eventually... it is gone. "Keep In Sight What Is Right"When storm clouds gather and send down the pouring rain, Remember there is a rainbow, the sun will shine again. But if we allow the rain to wash away the light, We then lose direction to all that was so right. But if we keep the light within our sights, Dawn will come again, wash away the nights. When the sun reappears, it will be brighter than before, And all that was right will be right, even more! So if you love someone, and of the truest kind, Your love will grow stronger if you bear this in mind. Thanks for this share goes to Adam Jones. The inspirational credit goes to name not mentioning. |

Great post, Rising Byte! It IS about the "oil" and the "money" and so, the "power". The blood lost on all fronts, of ALL those involved in the fighting, both civilians and soldiers, IS on the hands of "those in power". "Those in power" could CARE LESS about the lives lost and maimed. "Those in power" give the commands, make their demands, but are in actuality, too damn COWARDLY to actually DO and carry out their dirty, filthy, rotten deeds themselves, because they mustn't dirty their own hands nor be held accountable, and so shift the blame on others who aren't given a choice but to follow orders.
I refuse to be classified WITH such blood thirsty, money grubbing, money lusting, power hungry zealots and every opportunity I have, I speak out loudly against them and what they stand for. Unfortunately, the madness is not just isolated to the US, because there are plenty other zealots running the show or trying to obtain the power to, for the same blood thirsty, money lusting, and power hungry reasons and they plan, sleep, and work together AGAINST the PEOPLE, ALL the People OF THE WORLD! They plot and scheme to keep the "People of the World" DIVIDED and THIS is what We, the People of the World, need to UNITE and stand up against! When we allow our differences to "divide us", we then allow those in power to dictate TO us, just how things are supposed to be.
"Love 'n' Light Vs Hate 'n' Darkness"Hatred or love, Darkness or light, Which do you choose To be what's right? Deceit or truth, Shackled or free, Which do you choose, That'll affect you and me? On which side are you, darkness or light? On which side will you stand up and fight? "...And Your Choice Is?"Censorship OR freedom of speech, Truth OR lies, accept and teach. Middle ground, there is none, It's either or, choose, must one. If freedom of speech is your choice, Then stand up and use your voice. If truth is what you seek, Then do so, learn and speak. We are the world, we, the masses, We must remove rose coloured glasses, So we may see with opened eyes, Expose what's been so disguised. UNITE TOGETHER must be our course. We MUST defeat the deadly force! ©2013-06-16 All rights reserved. |
“The true value about money, is learning, thus knowing, that money has no REAL value at all!” ~ Artsieladie #Quotes ©
I'm not one who likes pick up lines, smooth talkers, or those who come across as trying to impress me with their "polished" charm. A man who has no compassion and is full of himself, will score a minus 10 with me. I'm more inclined to look beyond the exterior, because the "real" person is on the "inside" not the "outside". ♥
Your words may not be perfect, calculated, planned; Your demeanor may seem blunt, unpolished, even bland; Your exterior may seem average, not standing out; Your actions may seem awkward, causing others doubt. But words, demeanor, actions, unrehearsed are real, And so speak clearly, and profoundly make me feel, Unintimidated, relaxed, and receptive, Knowing your intention is not to be deceptive. Finesse is overrated, smooth has hidden churns, Cool is not so cool and hot causes burns. What I like best is the fact you are you, And if others can't appreciate what is truly true, Then it is their loss, but my richly gain, I'll gladly pass on fancy and go for just the plain. For in the final tally, real is the best, This makes you a star, outshining all the rest. I need not you to practice the perfect way to smile, Nor are your mistakes to be focused on for trial. I do not even care what hair is on your head, Some or none will not bring me any ounce of dread. I just need from you to show me what is in your heart, For this is all that matters, from your most important part. |

Ever since I sent data/info depicting evidence of my privacy being invaded, directly pointing to ONE person, to a friend (not disclosing here) on 2013-05-14/15 PRIVATELY (or 'supposedly' privately), I have had nothing but issues with my online connectivity along with other bizarre occurrences with my computer. ..And of course, THIS is not the first or only time I've experienced problems AFTER and WHILE providing data about what I'm being subjected to, for there have been MANY, MANY. It's NO coincidence that when I show and tell info/data that points to ONE person "invading my privacy", I am then left with problems to deal with, and ESPECIALLY since this very same "sequence of events" has been repeated MANY times AND DOCUMENTED. The "person of interest" doesn't like it when I relay factual evidence implicating him, but yet, refuses to stop what he's doing to me. Well, he can't "have his cake" AND "eat it too"!
Paying for high speed Internet access is not cheap and then since I only have a limited amount of data usage to work with before I have to pay through the nose some more for more if needed, it gets to be pretty damn annoying when your high speed performs worse than being on with dial-up!!! ...and then add in the fact, too, your data usage is getting gobbled up even though you aren't getting the benefits from the usage, well, it's infuriating!!! Several people on Elftown kept telling me that it was all due to the fact I had AOL. Well, I no longer use AOL nor dial-up, and I have a new and different computer besides, but yet, here I am dealing with issues anyway and over 3000 fucking dollars worth later. I guess it wasn't AOL's fault after all, now, was it?
Oh, and IF I would just leave Elftown, ALL of the crap would stop! THIS IS what I was told! MANY TIMES! Well, I'm NOT on Elftown now either! I tried to tell the crew, past and present, and others that my leaving would NOT make a difference, because I KNEW my privacy invasion and unwanted surveillance was NOT just "limited TO Elftown"! So, what would BE their excuses now? Oh, people thought they KNEW SO DAMN MUCH, knew MORE than I, even though I have EVIDENCE and DATA to back up what I say along with several "qualified" techs' and experts' accountings, but stilllllll, the know-it-alls were/are right and the experts and techs AND my data collected are ALL wrong!? Oh but, "I" am the one conjuring up "conspiracy theories"!!?? How is it that "I" get accused of "conspiracy theories" and "lying", but yet, "I" am the one who has and has shown data and evidence that backs up and substantiates what I say? But... NO ONE sees what's REALLY going on? Pardon me, but are those involved THIS bloody, fucking stupid!!!!????
But... DID ANYONE LISTEN!? HELLLLLLLL NO! Instead, they poked fun, called me names, said I was imagining stuff (including imagining my OWN daughter, Evah Jane!), that I was a drama psychobitch 3, a lunatic, crazy, and I needed mental help! ..And even on the very page where data CLEARLY implicates the site owner with the tampering of my phone. NOT ONE person that knew about and commented on the page would even "address" the data presented. NOT ONE! It was MORE important to attack me, than actually address "the REAL issue". When people DELIBERATELY AVOID addressing an issue, it's because THEY ARE HIDING something, either having to do with themselves or someone else, OR both. (Please note: All the comments AND data are saved from the wiki-page being referred to.)
..And just WHO needs the mental help? A person who seems to have nothing better to do with his time, than snoop and keep track of everything someone else is doing and saying, doesn't have some sort of SERIOUS mental/emotion
Then, the site owner HIDES the page with data IMPLICATING HIM, and still, NO ONE questions why? NO ONE asks him why? (The wiki-page: http://elftown
Anyway so, I've only been online lately sporadically, because I can take only so much aggravation and then I just get offline. ..And I don't want to have to pay extra for data usage when I can't even hardly get webpages, videos, etc., to load to see them and trying to upload anything is another annoying hassle. I've got graphics for the app, but until I stop having issues, they'll have to remain where they are, on my computer. I'm tired of battling this crap. I suggest start demanding some answers from the "person of interest".
..And I'm writing this here "for the record", and I do keep very good records, involving saving data and logging EVERYTHING.
Some quote statuses by Göran Svensson... :)
"Försök att hitta den bästa som finns i en person och berätta för honom att... Alla besitter något som förtjänar att lovordas. Prisar menar förståelse... Lära sig att se storheten i din granne, och ser du även din."
Translated by Bing:
"Try to find the best there is in a person and tell him that ... All possess something that deserves to be praised. Praises mean understanding ... Learn to see the greatness of your neighbor, and you see even your."
"Från det ögonblick som vi beslutar att inte vara rädd, har inget mer makt mot oss."
Translated by Bing:
"From the moment that we decide not to be afraid, have no more power against us."
"Det finns många saker i livet som fångar ögat.
Men endast ett fåtal fånga ditt hjärta. Följ de."
Translated by Bing:
"There are many things in life that catch the eye.
But only a few will capture your heart. Follow."
Hence, quotes of mine, inspired by Göran, especially the second one, because the quote speaks for "his" character in particular:
"Fear will hold us captive, denying us the freedom to attain what we desire in our heart." ~ Artsieladie Quotes ©
"The measure of a man is not in his physical strength, tough exterior, or financial successes,
But in his gentleness of spirit, kindness of heart, and compassionate soul, that he possesses." ~ Artsieladie Quotes ©
Good morning! Good morning! Good noon! Good day! Two little bunnies are out to play. As they frolic and romp, With such joy and bliss, They pause to embrace and steal a kiss. On nature's green carpet, Cleansed by the dew, A rapture of dance is about to ensue. As the sweet, little birds Begin their song, A breeze gently picks up and carries along, Mixing the aromas And the fragrance of flowers. Nature's endowed with magical powers. As the atmosphere Is carefully set, The wonder unfolding, not to forget. As the melody begins, A spell alluring Is cast upon all, but reassuring. With bees so busy Buzzing around, A special touch to the harmonic sound. As the stage is set For the curtain to raise, A spectacular show is about to amaze. The chirping choir sings, The bunnies do dances, Life succumbs as nature entrances, With a harmony unique Not to be outdone Blessed with warmth by the smiling sun. All of life forms Each with their parts, Play out their roles, to be etched on hearts. The magic released, Unseen by the eye, Only felt in the heart. No one knows why. Oh, the Wonder Of Nature truly abounds, Alas behold, as its magic surrounds, To touch us, affect us, in ways untold. The Wonder Of Life never grows old. |

Sharing a share from my friends, Naomi and Rich... "To get up when you are down, to fight more intensely when you are struggling; to put in the extra effort when you are in sheer pain, to comeback when nobody expects you to, and to stand tall when everyone is pulling you down.. are what make a champion." It isn't easy to forge through a path of adversity, especially when we are constantly tempted to just let ourselves get sidelined onto an easier one, and those other side streets are being most traveled, but the reward of perse- verance is knowing within yourself, you do have what it takes and the measure of self worth resulting, is priceless, AND one will find that they will no longer need approval or validation from others. :) |

"No one believes the sincere except the honest."
So true. If one is not honest and sincere themselves, then they can't believe that others will be either. ♥
"Fertile Hearts"Be careful what you sow in the garden of your heart, Watch for any bad weeds trying to make a start. Wisely choose your seeds, Remove invasive weeds. Nurture all that's good to reap more of the same, Keep your garden blooming, brightly, be your aim. Caring, kindness, love, so many different flowers, With many different colours, all with magic powers. When you grow a garden, keeping all of this in mind, Others will want to grow their own of this very kind. Soon many gardens will be growing love with care, And hearts will then be blooming brightly everywhere! Oh, to imagine a world such as this, A world indeed magical, magical with bliss! All because of in the Fertile Hearts was grown, Seeds of love and caring, reaping what was sown. |

Once I saw a greatness, once I saw a heart. Once I saw intelligence, one that was very smart. Once I saw awesomeness, once I saw a man That stood apart from others, I was your biggest fan. Once I saw a charm, one that made me smile, One that I was willing to go for, the extra mile. Once I saw integrity, with character quite unique, My heart lightened when your name I would speak. Once I felt for you such deep admiration. Once you were at the center of my inspiration. But now it seems, I couldn't be more wrong, For you've been singing a very different song. I should have listened to your friends, what they had to say, Because you are what they said, cruel in every way. But instead I chose to place my faith in you And now I'm reaping my rewards for what I chose to do, And I didn't want to believe, you a selfish liar, Just misunderstood, your goals and your desire. Countless chances I gave you, regardless of my pain, All I asked for was to understand, you to explain. So many excuses I made for you, I refused to see the worst, While you were laughing at me and with others, I, you cursed. So as I poured my heart out, you, gave all I could for, You just delighted in tormenting me more and more. You steal from me, you try to ruin my name, While, you stalk and threaten me, then on me, you lay the blame. You think you are a god, expecting others to slave for you, To clean up all your messes, all around you strew. You think God is make believe, yet you desire His name, You're just a pathetic being with no conscience and no shame. Within you, there is no beating heart, nor a glimmer of light, With evil lurking rampantly, you're blacker than the night. You're nothing more than a thief, a vampiristic leech, With a hypocritical tongue used in every word you preach. You creep around in shadows, too cowardly to show your face, Taunting all your victims, invading others' space. You're ostentatious, a show-off; superficial and a snob, With no real ambition, just a spineless, empty lob. Yet, you think I'm going to give more of me to you? Just one more thing, dear, try on this poetic shoe. Ah, it fits you perfectly. It is just your size, And so, I've uncovered your masterful disguise! Your arrogance is profound, your highness self perceived, But at last my eyes are opened and so, now I am relieved. Finally I know, although it is so very late, What you had in mind, your being is filled with hate. But I'm not really sorry, because with love to you, I gave. Hate holds YOU prisoner, its bondage, you're its slave. Written by Artsieladie, aka Sharon Donnelly ©2013-04-27 08:39:00 |
