Faun's Head

  • Jul. 10th, 2009 at 11:15 PM

 
In the foliage, a green jewel box spotted with gold,
In the uncertain foliage covered
With magnificent flowers where sleeps the kiss,
Alive and breaking through the exquisite tapestry,

A terrified faun shows his two eyes
And bites the red flowers with his white teeth.
Stained and reddend like old wine,
His lips burst in laughter under the branches.

And when he has fled - like a squirrel-
His laughter still trembles on each leaf,
And we can see, frightened by a bullfinch,
The Golden Kiss of the Wood, as it meditates.
                                                                            - Rimbaud

I will be graduating from Axia College of University of Phoenix with an Associate Degree in Psychology on July 17, 2009.  I wish to invite you to join me in celebrating in a goal I set for myself two years ago that I should have had 35 years ago instead of listening to Bob Dylan records. I understand Friday morning at 10:30 a.m. is a very odd time for most people. We are not planning anything for after the graduation ceremony. Thank you to everyone that gave me encouragement.

 I owe Free a BIG THANK YOU for letting me hide in the computer room for hours each week doing my school work for the last two years. He is also a very good tutor in Math and a great proof reader.

Cry

Somebody shakes when the wind blows
Somebody’s missing a friend (Hold on)
Somebody’s lacking a hero
And they have not a clue when it’s all gonna end again

Stories buried and untold
Someone is hiding the truth (Hold on)
When will this mystery unfold
And will the sun ever shine
In the blind mans eyes when he cries

You can change the world (I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (It’s gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one (I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

People laugh when they’re feeling sad
Someone is taking a life (Hold on)
Respect to believe in your dreams
So tell me where were you
When your children cried last night

Faces filled with madness
Miracles unheard of (Hold on)
Faith is found in the winds
All we have to do is to reach for the truth, the truth

You can change the world (I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (It’s gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one (I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

And when that flag blows there’ll be no more wars
And when all cause I will answer all your prayers (Prayers)
Show the world…

You can change the world (I can’t do it by myself)
You can touch the sky (It’s gonna take somebody’s help)
You’re the chosen one (I’m gonna need some kind of sign)
If we all cry at the same time tonight

Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us

  • Jun. 25th, 2009 at 7:45 PM




"They Don't Care About Us"

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shot dead
Everybody's gone mad

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Jew me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, kike me
Don't you black or white me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of hate
You're rapin' me of my pride
Oh, for God's sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
black man, black male
Throw your brother in jail

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
I'm tired of bein' the victim of shame
They're throwing me in a class with a bad name
I can't believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government don't wanna see
But if Roosevelt was livin'
He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

Some things in life they just don't wanna see
But if Martin Luther was livin'
He wouldn't let this be

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Don't you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us

All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They don't really care about us


 

PSY 230 CheckPoint: Buz - My Experience A+

  • Jun. 17th, 2009 at 8:40 PM






I Kissed a Boy  

 There have been many experiences over the years that have

greatly impacted my life and
personality. A couple of experiences that

may have impacted my personality to a lesser degree
was when I had

cancer or when I won my first race back when I raced cars. There is

one
experience that changed my personality and my life forever after

it happened. That experience
was a same sex kiss, the first time I

kissed a boy. At the time one might think it would negatively 

affect me but reflecting back I believe it was a very positive

experience. There is no doubt I
changed and so did my world. I had

kissed girls before but my feelings that had been buried deep

inside were confirmed.

     Growing up in a small rural community I had no identity that I

wished to claim. Even at a
young age I knew the meaning of “Don’t

ask, don’t tell.” My personality reflected neuroticism. I
was very

emotional. High anxiety was a way of life and whoever knew me knew

I was very
insecure. I was angry and often did not make good choices.

One of those moments was when
traveling through a small town I

stopped at a small town bar. In those days boys did not wear


earrings. I wore an earring even though I was not out of the closet.

When all was said and done I
was lucky I had a fast car, getting away

from numerous carloads of people chasing me five miles
out of town.

My environment had a huge influence on my personality.

     When I kissed a boy for the first time my personality changed

rather rapidly. I left that small
rural community moving to an

environment that was more gay friendly to the extent it was 35

years ago. My personality changed to extraversion, my human nature

required me to be a social
being, I was able to do that. I learned to be

trusting, gave up shame and doubt, was not afraid to
take the

initiative, no longer had confusion to my identity, and instead of

isolation I found
intimacy. I had integrity. I have no doubt my

personality also changed to one of openness to
experience. My

curiosity and humor reflects this part of my personality.

     I do believe my homosexuality is a result of genetic influence.

There is no logical reason
growing up in the environment of a rural

community in north central Nebraska that my
environment influenced

me to be gay. I can conceptualize my thoughts, feelings and behavior;

because of my personality I have been able to resolve any conflicts.
