The side of my life that grows and changes with my interests and discoveries pertaining to the D/d and D/s world, with respect to my spiritual convictions/sensibilites. (This page is best viewed in Mozilla Firefox)
Why would someone subject themselves to a massive throng of wild, drunk and/or high people, all converging on a side-walk of maybe four feet on either side of a barely-legal-sized street in which there are giant moving objects constantly filling its small space? Not to mention that there are only about 1/3rd, or less, of the police officers that are generally required, and no open emergency rooms - only makeshift medical centers - in case something goes wrong?Welcome to New Orlean's Mardi Gras 2006.Just so you all know, it's nothing but a political gamble by the idiotic mayor of the city to have the parade this year. It's all about the city's revenue. Note the word "GAMBLE" people - I chose it specifically because we all know Louisiana is (or may as well be) the gambling capital of the world - it just fits the situation. This moron is taking a huge chance with all of these peoples' lives all for the money and the fame. New Orleans just IS NOT ready for something like this. In case you've missed recent news stories on the happenings down there - every time they try to jump into something they're not ready for yet, bad things have happened.Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade was almost disasterous this year. That little float mishap on a larger scale in New Orleans will spell tragedy. But there's also the chance that not a thing out of the ordinary will happen... Sadly, that's the chance this mayor is gambling with.

In Dreams
"And in dreams I am free
falling into what is not;
what will be what is.
It's this intense hatred
for reality twisted
in an obsession of hope
Defy the stagnant
life that speaks only
what can be but wills not.
God's grace,
not my self fear
of what I think
I cannot be."
