I get carried away.

I don't take my whiskey to extremes
Don't believe is chasing crazy dreams
My feet are planted firmly on the ground
But darlin' when you come around

I get carried away by the look by the light in your eyes
Before I even realize the ride I'm on baby I'm long gone
I get carried away nothing matters but bein' with you
Like a feather flyin' high up in the sky on a windy day, I get carried away

It might seem like an ordinary night
Same ol' stars, the same ol' moon up high
But when I see you standing at the door
Nothin's ordinary anymore
I get carried away.

I'll reach for you.

I'll reach for your hand in the cold of winter, I'll reach for your hand in the heat of summer. But if my short life can't reach for the dawn of spring, I promise, in heaven, I'll reach you with my wings.

Love is like ...

Love is like a butterfly, it settles upon you when you least expect it.

Don't be a frog.

Your culture is your limit; if you can't go beyond it, you will remain as a frog of your little lake.

Winter Rose

Love is like a rose in the winter, only the strong survive.

When you love someone, ...

When you love someone, you see the world in their eyes.

Like a tree

Hurting someone is as easy as cutting the branch of a tree, but making someone happy is like growing the tree.

I'm All Yours

I am your best friend, your hopes, your wants, you needs, your wishes, your dreams, your reality, your inspiration, your heart beat, your tears, your smiles, and your love. I am your everything.

Love Rain

Rain your love on me.

Opposites Attract

We are like these two roses,

One different from the other,

But when put together,

It's perfect.

If I wished upon a star

If I wished upon a star

I'd wish you would look me in the eyes

So you could see how much you mean to me

If I wished upon a star

I'd wish we would be in each others arms

So I could feel the warmth of our love

If I wished upon a star

I'd wish you would put your ear on my chest

So you could hear my heart beating

Cuz it only beats for you

If I wished upon a star

I'd wish for all my wishes to come true

But if I had just one wish

I'd wish that I could be with you

~C

On the beach

On the beach
Sitting in the sand
My hand in your hand
Your lips close to mine
There is no other place
I'd rather be
Looking into you eyes
And see them staring back at me
When the sun falls
The moon and stars light up the sky
We no more have something to hide
In the dark of the night
I see the glow of your face
I know I'm in the perfect place
I give to you my word of forever
Promise me you'll leave me never
In my heart is where you'll always be
You have found, locked and thrown away the key

~C

Treat Her Right

All wounds hurt and all wounds heal. It's the wounds on our hearts that are the most painful and they become scars. Scars are the ones that require the most love and affection in order to heal. When you hurt or scar me, I'll still love you today and tomorrow just like I did yesterday.

Tax Poem

Tax his land,
Tax his wage,
Tax the bed in which he lays.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach his taxes is the rule.

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirts,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.

Tax his booze,
Tax his beers,
If he cries,
Tax his tears.

Tax his bills,
Tax his gas,
Tax his notes,
Tax his cash.

Tax his good and let him know,
That after taxes he has no dough.

If he hollers tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.

Tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"

And when he's gone,
We won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance TAX!

Did anyone read this news?
Muslims try to pray in Spanish cathedral

I hate religious fights. I hope I am not the only one that is tired of hearing and seeing the fighting going on between different religions. Why can't anyone pray wherever they want? It doesn't matter if you're in a mosque, church or temple, there is only one God whom we all worship in different ways. I am not defending anyone or anyone's beliefs because who am I to say that you're wrong and I am right. I am not God and neither are you, so stop telling people who, what or where to pray for what they believe. When will we all just get along? It's very difficult to raise kids in todays world. Everyone always thinks they are right and they rest of the world is wrong. How do you really know who's right? With all the media, my family and friends talking bad about other peoples religion, or thoughts and beliefs, it is really hard to teach my daughter to respect what other people believe and how they feel about something. I really do understand why nobody will agree with me because that is how they were raised. People now a days are not raised to love and be loved, they are raised to love or hate with nothing in between. And that is the reason the worlds society is the way it is today. I could go on and on but I know none of you reading this will learn anything from it. I am not saying that I am right and you are wrong but what you have to do is educate yourself and listen to other peoples opinion or thoughts even if you disagree and who know's, you might learn something. I don't want to change anyone's views on life or religion, but keep an open mind, be nice, be good, be kind, be caring, be giving, be generous and most important of all is to be open hearted. You never know if the person you talk bad about or have hatred towards will one day be there for you when you need someone the most. It's a neverending arguement and nobody is ever going to win.

Giving candy at toll booths

Here is a nice story to share with you all.

It's a common thing here in India at the toll booths to give you a piece of candy that costs 1 rupee instead of actually giving you that 1 rupee. Is this a good thing or a bad thing. Let's think about it. It's a good thing for them if by chance they don't have that 1 extra rupee to give you. It's a bad thing for us because it makes us want to eat that candy because it is sitting right there on the dashboard and keeps looking at us saying "Eat Me, Eat Me!" Not good for the people who are trying to watch their weight. Well here is an idea for you. Give it back! They will not only give you 1 or 2 but even 5. We got 5 of them from one toll booth. When we reached the next toll, they asked if I had 5 rupees and instead of giving them 5 rupees, I gave them the 5 candies I got from the previous booth. Luckily for me, the accepted it. First, they were like oh come on what's this. We told them you guys give it out as change so why can't we. After they accepted it, we told them to eat it and be happy. I'm pretty sure that won't work very often as their job is to collect the money not to collect candy. But it sure was funny.

Since I am on the topic of toll booths. Once we were in the line and in the lane next to us the guy didn't pay his toll and drove off. The security quickly moved the gate in front of the car but the car just crashed into it. Now I don't understand that why he would dent and scratch his car all us just for 45 rupees. Well anyway... :)

Why are you vegetarian?

I often wonder why some people call themselves a vegetarian. Is it because they don't want to eat a live animal? Someone once told me that she doesn't eat egg because it has a chance to have a life as a chicken. Or, is it because it is healthier?

Plants actually do have sex. Everyone loves to pick flowers and when they do, they’re actually dismembering the reproductive organs of plants. The “male” portion of the flower is the pollen-loaded stamen, while the egg-holding pistil is the “female” part.

Most plants sprout bisexual flowers (which have both male and female parts), but plants like squash grow separate male and female flowers—still others have both bisexual and single-sex flowers. And, as evolutionary biologists have recently discovered, plants with male and bisexual flowers produce more seeds. Why this is true is a new scientific mystery, but it probably has something to do with male flowers hoarding less of a plant’s energy (making more of it available to crank out seeds).

Using nature as a matchmaker, wind, animals, or water carry pollen to a sticky female stigma. The grains then germinate and grow downward, creeping slowly towards the ovaries. Eventually, the pollen grains bump into some eggs: Ta-da, seeds are born (yes, eating an apple or other fruit means eating an unborn life form!).

I found this article about why plant iron is better than meat iron.

1kg of beef creates a whopping 34.6kg of CO2, and consumes 15,000 litres of water! On top of that our little Moo Moo friends are responsible for 37% of global methane emissions. That stinks! A recent UN report found that meat production was among the top 3 creators of greenhouse gases (including methane which is 23 times more harmful than CO2). It’s responsible for 18% of global emissions, more than the entire world transportation industry, and livestock agriculture is also a major cause of deforestation and soil erosion, as well as being a huge drain on our water supplies.

It's hard to argue with the health benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits: Lower blood pressure; reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and probably some cancers; lower risk of eye and digestive problems; and a mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep appetite in check.

Most people should aim for at least nine servings (at least 4½ cups) of vegetables and fruits a day, and potatoes don't count. Go for a variety of kinds and colors of produce, to give your body the mix of nutrients it needs. Your best choices are dark leafy greens, cooked tomatoes, and anything that's a rich yellow, orange, or red color.

Is beef really good for your heart?
Beef provides 39 percent of your daily needs for zinc, important for a healthy immune system. Three ounces of cooked beef contains 25 grams of protein, about 50 percent of the needs of most women. Three ounces of broiled top sirloin steak contains almost three mg of iron, almost three times as much iron as a three-ounce chicken breast. We cant hide the fact that beef contains fat, including saturated fat, and cholesterol. On the other hand beef is also a good source of iron, protein, vitamins B3, B5, B6 and B12, and phosphorus and zinc. With that information you can say if its healthy or not. One thing for sure anything that is to much would not be good same goes here.

Is chicken good for you?
Chicken has lean protein. 4 ounces of chicken provide two thirds of your daily protein requirements, and adequate protein may prevent bone loss in older people. It is good for your immune system. That 4-ounce serving of chicken also provides nearly half of your RDA of the trace mineral selenium that is essential for manufacturing glutathione, a powerful immune boosting and cancer-fighting enzyme. Eating chicken can protect you against cancer and alzheimer's. A serving of chicken supplies 72% of the RDA for niacin, a B vitamin that can protect DNA from cell damage and has cancer-preventative properties. Chicken may be a good food for Alzheimer's prevention because elderly people who obtain niacin from food are less likely to develop the disease. And the Vitamin B6 in chicken helps process carbohydrates and helps regulate blood sugar. It all also depends on how you cook your chicken.

There are a ton of healthy vegetarians in the world that never have any problems and a ton that do. Is it really what we eat that makes our bodies the way they are?

Miraj Dangal

I realized I have not posted anything in a long time. There has not been anything interesting to post until recently. Some riots have boke out in the city of Ichalkaranji, where I am currently staying. The whole town has been shut down and under curfew.

Miraj Dangal is the event that took place in Miraj, Maharashtra on 2nd September 2009. Riots broke out and things got out of control. Muslims threw stones at Ganesh ideals and broke them during the Ganesh festival last week. All of Miraj, Kolhapur, Sangli, Ichalkaranji and the surrounding villages are closed. Here in Ichalkarnji we can not go outside the house for anything. If we do go there is a change we will be shot by police. There are few people out there walking around like maids but they are all taking a chance. Only one of our maids came today. The police said if they suspect you are out there to riot, they will shoot you. There was a guy outside earlier down the street from my house selling milk. The day before yesterday some people put tires in the middle of the road and set them on fire which burned all night so that police could not get through. That was at the corner right behind my house. Muslims are going around in groups rioting and setting small shops on fire. Police are out there trying to stop this but it was out of control. All day yesterday I could hear them shouting in the distance and every now and then I would see a few of the people rioting running down the street past my house trying to outrun the police. Yesterday afternoon they set a car on fire a few streets away from here.

Don't know what else to say about it. It's all between the Hindus and Muslims. There are some videos of the riots on youtube. You will see in one of the videos that a guy got on top of a police jeep waving a Pakistani flag and the cop standing right there alloweed him to do so. Just seach Miraj Dangal in youtube and you'll find all kinds of videos show up. Looks like something out of a movie but these are real.

Thanks to all this crap I can not take my daughter outside to the parks and play. When will we all just have some respect for other ppls beliefs and get along. Now we are all (hindus and muslims) prisoners in our own homes. Look at what we are teaching our kids.
