About Me
- Party Girl
- I am perpetually perky always optimistic yet slightly cynical. I am incredibly honest. I am honest, open, judgment free, and most importantly - honest. I'm a dork. I'm creative. I love trivia. I always have gum. I talk with my hands. I make faces at people. I'm sarcastic as hell. I adore vodka. And Beer. And wine. If it's fermented, I am probably a fan. I believe in laughing as often as possible. I am the girl next door. I am quick with a wink and a smile and a good laugh. Don't be hateful. This is my world, you're just visiting. I appreciate you stopping by.

This guy was amazing. If he was alive, I would make Mel Gibson chat with him for his little community service gig.
"Shindler's List" is a movie that I cannot watch without getting very emotional. At the end, where the actors and the people (or family of) they portrayed are putting rocks on his grave in tribute? Never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
And I'm not a very emotional guy, normally.
Oskar Schindler is a great example of ordinary, flawed people doing incredibly selfless deeds for humanity. I watch it when I'm in severe need of a reality check.

There are certain books that I have on a shelf. They are books that I wept through, books that I'll probably never pick up to read again because I wept through them. Schindler's List is one of the few on that shelf. So very powerful!
It is amazing, but every now and then man's inner voice speaks loud enough to be heard over the propaganda. Who knows, it might even happen here someday.
Egan: Yes, he was. It just goes to show what one person has the power to do.
GG: Exactly. He certainly wasn't perfect, however, his inner voice spoke up and saved hundreds.
P: That is one that I get very emotional over also. Simply makes me weep.
Bre: I haven't read this book, but I know what you mean about the books that simply make you weep and weep and love the written word at the same time.
JJ: Yes, it is nice to hear and see when this happens. It would be nice if something like this could be done today.
Not to get on a political kick, but I was wondering the other day what we will find out in 5-10-20-30 years from now in regards to what the Bush administration really thought about what was going on.
By that time, we can simply ask the current one, President Jenna Bush.
Remember PG, anyone can grow up to be President. Especially if your name is Bush or Cheney, and you have the Republican party in you back pocket kissing your ass.
Just ask the current "Idiot in Chief".
(Whew! That felt good! Please forgive the rant. I needed to do this.)
