    <content type="html">Someone was randomly ranting about the apocalypse and such with all the bad weather and then I went on youtube. I clicked a random link on the main page and then ended up with this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-wBh35cio"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl-wBh35cio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Godlessness 3:1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. 2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, 4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having the﻿ appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people. 2 Timothy 3" &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so they say avoid such people...but that's not what God wants. He wants everyone to get along. Does anyone remember Jesus and his whole not stoning people thing? Yeah. Well, maybe that's just the God I believe in. Jesus walked with sinners he didn't avoid them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. Is unappeasable even a word?</content>

    <content type="html">This is hilarious. *shrug* Maybe it's just  because I shop at Whole Foods. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You mean sommelier?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"That's how the French say it. But it means some in year. Like this is a good cheese for this year."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mom, I think you've got that a bit tangled up."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No I don't. Here, I'm right by him. -- Aren't you the fancy cheese man?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[fancy cheese man] "Yes ma'am! I am indeed the fancy cheese man."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is just a snip-it. Click the link for the whole thing.

    <content type="html">This is from the NAMI website. I used to do the NAMI walk with my mother. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Suicide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;    &lt;h1 align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 255);"&gt;Learn more, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(204, 153, 255);"&gt;learn to help&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Signs of depression and suicide risk:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Change in personality-becoming sad, withdrawn, irritable, anxious, tired, indecisive, apathetic&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Change in behavior-can't concentrate on school, work, routine tasks&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Change in sleep pattern-oversleeping or insomnia, sometimes with early waking&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Change in eating habits-loss of appetite and weight, or overeating&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Loss of interest in friends, sex, hobbies, activities previously enjoyed&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Worry about money, illness (real or imaginary)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fear of losing control, &amp;quot;going crazy,&amp;quot; harming self or others&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Feelings of overwhelming guilt, shame, self-hatred&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;No hope for the future-&amp;quot;It will never get better, I will always feel this way.&amp;quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Drug or alcohol abuse&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Recent loss of a loved one through death, divorce, separation, broken relationship; or loss of job, money, status, self-confidence, self-esteem&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Loss of religious faith&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nightmares&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Suicidal impulses, statements, plans; giving away favorite things; previous suicide attempts or gestures&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Agitation, hyperactivity, restlessness may indicate masked depression&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don't be afraid to ask: &amp;quot;Do you sometimes feel so bad you think of suicide?&amp;quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Just about everyone has considered suicide, however fleetingly, at one time or another. There is no danger of &amp;quot;giving someone the idea.&amp;quot; In fact, it can be a great relief if you bring the question of suicide into the open, and discuss it freely, without showing shock or disapproval. Raising the question of suicide shows you are taking the person seriously and responding to the potential of his/her distress.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;If the answer is &amp;quot;Yes, I do think of suicide,&amp;quot; you must take it seriously.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Ask questions like: &lt;em&gt;Have you thought about how you'd do it? Do you have the means? Have you decided when you'll do it? Have you ever tried suicide before? What happened then?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;If the person has a defined plan, the means are easily available, the method is a lethal one, and the time is set, the risk of suicide is very high. Your response will be geared to the urgency of the situation as you see it. Therefore, it is vital not to underestimate the danger by not asking for details.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Common misconceptions about suicide:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;        &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;People who talk about suicide won't really do it.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Almost everyone who commits suicide has given some clue or warning. Do not ignore suicide threats. Statements like &amp;quot;You'll be sorry when I'm dead,&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;I can't see any way out&amp;quot;-no matter how casually or jokingly said-may indicate serious suicidal feelings.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Anyone who tries to kill themselves must be crazy.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Most suicidal people are not psychotic or insane. They must be upset, grief-stricken, depressed, or despairing, but extreme distress and emotional pain are not necessarily signs of mental illness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;If a person is determined to kill themselves, nothing is going to stop them.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Even the most severely depressed person has mixed feelings about death, wavering until the very last moment between wanting to live and wanting to die. Most suicidal people do not want death; they want the pain to stop. The impulse to end it all, however overpowering, does not last forever.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;People who commit suicide are people who were unwilling to seek help.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;p&gt;Studies of suicide victims have shown that more than half had sought medical help within six months before their deaths.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Talking about suicide may give someone the idea.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;     &lt;p&gt;You don't give a suicidal person morbid ideas by talking about suicide. The opposite is true-bringing up the subject of suicide and discussing it openly is one of the most helpful things you can do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Persons who may be at high risk for suicide:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;ul type="disc"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Persons who are severely depressed and feel hopeless&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Persons who have a past history of suicide attempts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Persons who have made concrete plans or preparations for suicide&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How to find out if someone is suicidal:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;Ask these questions-in the same order-to find out if the person is seriously considering suicide:&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;1. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Have you been feeling sad or unhappy?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot; response will confirm that the person has been feeling some depression.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;2. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Do you ever feel hopeless? Does it seem as if things can never get better?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Feelings of hopelessness are often associated with suicidal thoughts.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;3. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Do you have thoughts of death? Does it seem as if things can never get better?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot; response indicates suicidal wishes but not necessarily suicidal plans. Many depressed people say they think they'd be better off dead and wish they'd die in their sleep or get killed in an accident. However, most of them say they have no intention of actually killing themselves.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;4. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Do you ever have any actual suicidal impulses? Do you have any urge to kill yourself?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;A &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot; indicates an active desire to die. This is a more serious situation.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;5. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Do you have any actual plans to kill yourself?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If the answer is &amp;quot;yes,&amp;quot; ask about their specific plans. What method have they chosen? Hanging? Jumping? Pills? A gun? Have they actually obtained the rope? What building do they plan to jump from? Although these questions may sound grotesque, they may save a life. The danger is greatest when the plans are clear and specific, when they have made actual preparations, and when the method they have chosen is clearly lethal.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;6. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;When do you plan to kill yourself?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If the suicide attempt is a long way off (say, in five years) danger is clearly not imminent. If they plan to kill themselves soon, the danger is grave.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;7. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Is there anything that would hold you back, such as your family or your religious convictions?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If the person says that people would be better off without them, and if they have no deterrents, suicide is much more likely.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;8. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Have you ever made a suicide attempt in the past?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Previous suicide attempts indicate that future attempts are more likely. Even if a previous attempt did not seem serious, the next attempt may be fatal. All suicide attempts should be taken seriously. However, suicidal &amp;quot;gestures&amp;quot; can be more dangerous than they seem, since many people do kill themselves.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;p&gt;9. &lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;Would you be willing to talk to someone or seek help if you felt desperate? With whom would you talk?&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;blockquote style="margin-right: 0px;" dir="ltr"&gt;  &lt;p&gt;If the person who feels suicidal is cooperative and has a clear plan to reach out for help, the danger is less than if they are stubborn, secretive, hostile, and unwilling to ask for help.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;/blockquote&gt;    &lt;h2&gt;Further Resources:&lt;/h2&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;b&gt;American Association of Suicidology --&lt;/b&gt; AAS is dedicated to the understanding and prevention of suicide by promoting research, public awareness, education and training for professionals and volunteers.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Web site&lt;/b&gt;:&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.suicidology.org/"&gt;www.suicidology.org&lt;/a&gt; (also provides listings of state-by-state suicide crisis lines).&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Suicide Prevention Action Network (SPAN)&lt;/b&gt; -- A non-profit organization &amp;quot;dedicated to the creation of an effective national suicide prevention strategy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Web site:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.spanusa.org/"&gt;www.spanusa.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;Phone&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/font&gt; 1-888-649-1366 (not a crisis line)&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;b&gt;American Foundation for Suicide Prevention&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;-- 120 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10005.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Web site:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.afsp.org/"&gt;www.afsp.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;strong&gt;E-mail:&lt;/strong&gt; inquiry@afsp.org&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;b&gt;Phone:&lt;/b&gt; 1-888-333-AFSP (not a crisis line) or 1-212-363-3500.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Covenant House Youth Crisis Line:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;1-800-999-9999&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a href="http://s4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Mystic_Tera/?action=view&amp;amp;current=hfb9hq9ad.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/Mystic_Tera/hfb9hq9ad.jpg" alt="Photobucket" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a way of thinking. You take something some may consider ugly or disturbing and make it beautiful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish people would stop thinking it comes in some kind of box or store. You can't buy it. You can "look" like it, but that's not even really it. Just like emo. What the hell is that? You can't dress emo. You can &lt;i&gt;"feel"&lt;/i&gt; emo, but you can't dress it. So what do you do to show you're emotional? You dye your hair green and wear big old school "geeky" glasses. WTF? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it's so "scene". Fine, so you dress that way because you like it. It's your style. That's awesome! But don't tell me you do it because you're emo or gothic. It makes me want to dunk you in a bucket of ice water. Huge amounts of black makeup around your eyes isn't pretty. It makes you look like you've been punched. If you want to go for the stereotypical "goth" look at least get it right. No one goes around wearing plain old black lipstick. It's not pretty. Mix it up. Go for a shade of dark purple to mix with it. Damn people, if you're going to go all out at least look good while you're doing it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and on top of that, don't bitch when people point and stare. You look different. You purposely dress yourself in your own style which is wildly different from the people that your walking by. Some people will be confused by that. Don't whine. You know you do it to other people as well. "Oh My God. Look at that poser." That my friend, makes you a hypocrite. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a piercing going through your nose don't be surprised if a little kid gets freaked out. It's not like they see that every day. The same goes for any other type of piercing or tattoos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will get stared at. You will be made fun of. You will do it back to them. It's a big giant circle. So, be nice. Smile. Be friendly. Be approachable. Don't look like your going to murder someone if they talk to you. Then, they'll see your fluffy interior and that you don't fit into the stereotype. Humans have this amazing way of being extremely ignorant, however they are also very good at understanding. Break the mold. Don't be the stereotype. Help the old lady across the street instead of shouting horrid things to see her reaction. You can't do things like that and then expect people to be respectful to you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;If you're doing it to call out for help, it probably won't work. People will probably think you're doing it because that's what's "hot" right now. You'll have to find another way to see if people care. Why not try talking to a friend about how you feel? Call the suicide help line. Go some where and get help. There are people that care. Just call 1-800-273-TALK (8255).&lt;/b&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nami.org/Content/ContentGroups/Helpline1/Suicide_-_Learn_more,_learn_to_help.htm"&gt;http://www.nami.org/Content/ContentGroups/Helpline1/Suicide_-_Learn_more,_learn_to_help.htm&lt;/a&gt;</content>
