Through the snowstorm
We were in willmar, minn last weekend at the 'rents lakehouse which was serene (as serene as it can be with my mother haha!) and we got a chance to catch up on sleep and just generally vacationing which is ALWAYS WELCOME! :)
There are 28k people who live in willmar and yet their grocery store is 3 times as big as the hyvee here in sioux falls, and 10 times better! some things just really piss me off. the liquor store up there even carries beer from far away countries. amazing.
Me and ma got into a heated debate about abortion. we're both prochoice and mom thinks that its time for me to change my party affiliation (i'm a republican). she thinks that bush has single-handedly created the worst possible prochoice battle in history. She truly believes that because of south dakota, roe v. wade will be overruled. she asks when i am moving out. soon enough, i tell her, soon enough.
CAN YOU IMAGINE the government forcing you to endure a full pregnancy term? That seems so...none of the government's damn business.
why do we allow fundamentalists to practice their religion in the legislature? even governer mike rounds said that his catholic faith had some influence. this is such a crock. i'm not against any religion but just remember that what you believe cannot be forced upon everyone else.
We had a severe winter advisory and drove back home through freezing rain, snow, and severe winds. No sliding off the road and we were only stuck behind what appeared to be a drunk/methed up driver only once. for a good 25-30minutes. ugh. but we made it and now we're home.
oh oh when we were at willmar, i was watching VH1's "Driven" on Kanye West, WOW. i think i have a more profound respect for him than i did before. i found him to be quite egotistical at the grammy awards but now that i've seen the background on what happened, i'm pretty impressed at how determined he was to make it as a rapper. one of the main things i always liked about him....HIS LYRICS ROCK! so i'm posting "Jesus Walks" here for y'all...
Jesus Walks
{Intro}
I need to recruit all the soldiers
All of God's soldiers
We at war
We at war with society, racism, terroism and most of all we at war with ourselves
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil try to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me with me with me with me) [Fades]
{Verse 1}
You know what the Midwest is?
Young & Restless
Where restless Niggas might snatch your necklace
And next these Niggas might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these Niggas who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of chi where death is
Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless
*Gasping for air*
Try to catch it
*Gasping for air*
It's kinda hard
Gettin' choked by detectives yeah yeah now check the method
They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us
Saying "we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast."
Huh? Yall eat pieces of shit what's the basis?
We ain't goin' nowhere but got suits and cases
A trunk full of coke rental car from Avis
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us
Well momma I know I act a fool
But I'll be gone till November I got packs to move I Hope
{Chorus}
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil try to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't think there’s nothing I can do to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me)
I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid cause we ain't spoke in so long
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil try to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't think there’s nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks)
I wanna to talk to God but I'm afraid cause we ain't spoke in so long
(Jesus Walks with me with me with me) [Fades]
{Verse 2}
Ya, to the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers
(Jesus walks with them)
To the victims of welfare feel we living in hell here, hell yea
(Jesus walks with them)
Now hear Ye hear Ye wanna see Thee more clearly
I know He hear me when my feet get weary
Cause we’re the almost nearly extinct
We rappers are role models we rap we don't think
I ain't here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just tryin to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dawg radio needs this
They said you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tape
But if I talk about God my record won't get played huh
Well if this take away my from spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope it take away from sins
And bring the day that I’m dreamin about
Next time I'm in the club everybody screamin out
{Chorus 2}
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the devil try to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don’t think there’s nothing I can do to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me with me with me with me) [Fades]
I wanna talk to God but I’m afraid cause we ain’t spoke in so long .....
*Nice eh??*
i'm feeling kinda melancholy today. its been a strange few days....
