QUESTION FOR A WICCAN/PAGAN!

First of all I would like to say, I mean no offense just in case I unknowingly word something in such a way as to offend anyone.
Now, I have been very interested in the idea of an earth based religion for years, a religion which focuses on the beauty in the world we live with every day and making sure we treat our wonderful world with the respect and love she deserves is even better. Personally my own concepts/set of religious/spiritual beliefs I came to realize I had was that our Earth is our Great Mother, she is nature, she gives and takes life as needed, and she is wise beyond what we will ever truly know, now, having been raised to believe in God in a Christian way I've never been able to shake my knowing that he is there like some Great Father even though I'm not sure where he fits in specifically. In Christianity he is like an angry father more often than not, and I've never liked the idea that he should be angry and punishing more than he is loving and rewarding, which honestly contributed heavily to my looking for a love and earth driven way of life and beliefs.

What I want to know is if there are any other people out there feeling like I feel who would be willing to talk to me and to share with me their life's knowledge and help me to grow :)

So. Apparently this is not my cup of tea.

I wanted it to be really badly, I thought, hey, I need something I can force myself to do that's simple and enjoyable and makes me think. I was wrong about this being it. HOWEVER, I'll do it when I can and maybe I'll end up picking it up because I'm not trying.

ANYWAYS whats today on our list? Oh thats right, MUSICAL TUESDAY!!!

So. Because I'm feeling sentimental and I was a terrible tease teenager, I'm going to post The Used's I caught fire, BECAUSE I was rotten and an amazing guy who was the best male friend I've ever had thought of me and made it my ring tone and loved me way more than I deserved.

Pete and Dana for 22 years!!!

So instead of doing a photo dump I'm going to belatedly say how fantastically thankful I am that my parents have made it for TWENTY TWO YEARS! They got married January 21st both of them crafty weirdos who have done wonders for one another, my dad brought my mama out of her shy shell, and my mama repaired my daddy's broken heart. Recently divorced when they met both going to the same college in Phoenix Arizona my daddy met his new neighbor and future wife through a mutual friend who was clever enough to introduce them, they became friends and were soon dating and now here we are 22 years and myself and my brother later =)

Funny Friday

Anyone else love Mayhem as much as I do? I was psyched when I saw this new one, personally though my favorite is the teen girl in the pink suv one, he's so funny and sexy in a weird way lol
