"Wish you would step back from that ledge my friend" <3

Wow. I haven't written in here for a very long time. I suppose life has taken me through some territory I was not familiar with..as Robert Frost would say best the "Road not taken". AHH! =)..But yes, There were a lot of habits that I once adopted within my life style that I have not stayed loyal to. Such as writing in my journal for instance. I think what truly inspired me to go back to my old ways was re-reading "Ask Alice". And its remarkable what a profound impact and comforting friend a simple means of a journal can transform to be. In any case, things have been going well..It shocks me to say this, but I, Shannon Lee Parra, am getting married Oct 31st. Can you believe it? I cannot. Simply thinking about it escalates the anxiety which is dwelling within my fleshly domain. But its a good feeling. I think I am probably the only person I know from my family who truly knows what she wants. And who patiently awaits before jumping into something that would surely jeopardize the balance that I am presently living with. Haha =) Perhaps my perceptions would have been quite different if Mr.Saunders would have asked me sooner. I mean, he did, but it was never a moment which stopped my heart or time..so I never took him seriously. I would always shrug off the idea. Until he proclaimed his love for me, and his longing to make me his wife in front of his family two months ago. It wasn't like anything out of the movies. It wasn't anything out of his nature. It was simple, and it is those simple candid moments in life which I always tend to treasure and stay within my heart the most. Because they are the purest extensions of reality. And I wouldn't want anything more than that, you know?

Oh yes, so today I watched the documentary developed by Spike Lee titled "The day the Levees broke" and it was to say the least devastating. I had never truly grasped the extent of the damage nor the pain which the residents of new orleans experienced after the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Honestly, I cannot believe how far from the truth I actually knew. It angers me to know how much the media can manipulate such catastrophic events like those. I could not believe how our federal government failed to respond to the matter. In fact, they had footage of our Former President, George Bush attempting to deceive the public by actually stating he was not informed pertaining the gravity of the issue despite the fact that four days had passed. Then Spike Lee somehow was able to attain footage of an actual meeting that the head of the hurricane center meteorologists had with him prior to it striking, and making him fully knowlegable about their concern with the levees possibly not holding up.

But in any case, I am not sure why I was so surprised anyways. I should have known, and have been disappointed before due to my naive nature to overestimate the potential of the government.

Es stupid hoeskis =P

Ahh well =)

In other news, I am listening to pandora, and muh puppy is laying next to me =) I don't have anything interesting to state =P. But I shall write more later on =). This is muh new goal which I shall achieve. I will name you my journal, Twinkle <3 =)
