Google China

I found this interest. Blake found it and I thought I would share it here.

Apparently Google has expanded into China, but China has made Google put filters on their search engine so that Chinesse people cannot access certian information. Here is the link to read more and what one person is doing about it. :)

Addiction

You know when you get an iPod or an MP3 player they should put warning labels on them. "Attention Buyer: Highly addictive due to downloading and finding music". That would be rather nice. ;) I got an MP3 player for Christmas. I think ever since my music obession has grown to new heights. ;)
Here is my list of people y'all need to look up.

• Dar Williams: I love her. She an amazing song writer. Folk/Acoustic.
• Ben Harper: You'll not find a more diverse artist. I think from blue grass, rock, to good ole' gospel, this guy has it. Fave download: Burn One Down and #3. Oh, forgot another good on is Picture of Jesus.
• Amy Ray: The other half of Indigo Girls. I'm really enjoying her album "Prom". Be ready to be challenged, if you have a "anti-gay" thing, don't get this album. I'll just tell ya up front. ;) Fave songs: Let It Ring and Blender
• Girlyman: Just another great trio. They have this really cool indie folk sound to them. I can't begin to list my faves of theirs. LOL
• Jack Johnson: I love this guy. Very mellow sound. Not sure how to describe it. MUST get: Banana Pancakes!!!!
• K.D. Lang: Yeah, I know...LOL BUT her album "Hymns Of The 49th Parallel" is just amazing. Very mellow. Fave songs: The Valley, Simple, and Love Is Everything. But honestly, I love the whole album.
• Ray LaMontagne: Just another amazing artist. I couldn't begin to pick a song of his. Just CHECK him out! Very acoustic, kinda mellow, but EXCELLENT!
• Nickel Creek: Their newest album "Why Should The Fire Die?" is amazing. not typical Nickel Creek, has taken me a bit to get used to it, but I have to say I really like it.

Anyway, just some great music I have found that I'm really enjoying. I have also really gotten back into Indigo Girls. And let me encourage you to look up Derek Webb's song New Law. Trust me you will not regret it. I still need to go and buy the album, but New Law is amazing. :)

Ok, so there ya go, one thing I have been up to. HA ;)

Bye for now!

What's Your Religious Philosophy?

You are a Believer

You believe in God and your chosen religion. Whether you're Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu.. Your convictions are strong and unwavering. You think your religion is the one true way, for everyone.

What's Your Religious Philosophy?

Where Am I?

That seems to be the question. Why am I not posting like I used to? What is going on in my head?

Well...not a lot or nothing I feel "safe" to share. Meaning, there are something that I feel best for me to keep in my lil' head. ;)

So, I don't know what to say to y'all. I'm sorry that I have kindof "died out". It was never my intention. Sometimes you look at life and you see it changing before your eyes and you don't know how to react or not react. For me, in some ways I have shut down. I have a closed sign on me and I'm actually ok with it. I have some people in my life that right now need to be and I allow them through the door way and we deal with what is going on in my head and my heart. I don't mean to push any of you away, but honestly, I don't know what else to do. I can't give you anything. I can't give you some great insight. Nor can I promise to even help you on your journey. And I will not pretend I'm wanting to hear anyone give me insight into mine. I'm just here. I don't know what "here" is, but I am.

The thing is, I am disappointed. And how many times can I post on that? I'm frustrated. How many times can I post on that? I'm disillusioned. Again, how many times? I'm angry as hell. Ditto... I have though, found some happiness in this time. God has provided a place for me to wrestle. I'm grateful for it. Its my place and the company he has provided, I pray never goes away. That place, in some ways has given me peace and safety. Although for some they do not see it or feel it, they only see me running, being angry, or whatever, there is a place I can go and be OK.

I don't know what else to say. I'm no where. I'm in a space that is private right now and at times ugly. I'll try to get back to posting regularly. :) I promise to do my best.

All my love and best to you all.
