FREE BURMA!!

Mental Status: FREE BURMA!!

The Official "Burma Can't Wait" website can be found here.
Featuring
information on the brutality taking place there and messages by
celebrities asking for support.
Even if you don't read this message- at least
check out the site. http://www. burmaitcantwait. org/burmaitcantwait/
---------------------------------------
Hey everyone. I originally found this through a friend.
She showed me a
video done by Eric Szmanda and Jorja Fox, actors on CSI (for those who
don't know).
So through that I did some research and simply put- there
are things going on in Burma that cannot be ignored.


Many of you know me in real life, and normally, I'm not one to speak up
or speak out.
I'm more of a hide in the crowd and see what happens,
kind of person. But I can't this time.
Many of you who know me personally
also know that more than anything I believe in God.
Second to that is
my belief in justice- and these people deserve it.
I know I can't start
a rally or anything on my own- but I can spread the word to those I
know.
Below is a message from a website where I have signed a petition;
it basically states that if the Chinese government continues to sell
weapons to the Burmese armed forces- I will not watch or buy and
merchandise based around the Olympics held in Beijing.
I hope and pray that at
least a few of you will join me in this. Thank you all for your time.

Much love and many hugs to you all. Stay shiny and love everybody.

Dear Friend,

I recently pledged to not watch the Beijing Olympics on television and
wanted to ask you
http://salsa. democracyinaction. org/o/1189/t/5102/signUp. jsp?key=3127

This years summer Olympics will take place in China.
The Chinese
government promotes their Olympic slogan of, ONE WORLD ONE DREAM while
propping up one of the worlds most brutal military dictatorships in Burma.


As you probably saw in the newspapers, last fall hundreds of thousands
of Buddhist monks marched in Burma calling for human rights and
democracy.
With funding and weapons from China, the Burmese regime cracked
down on the peaceful monks, slaughtering hundreds and imprisoning
thousands more.


That crackdown was just the tip of the iceberg.
Using its veto power,
China has blocked the United Nations from stopping the carnage in
Burma.
In a campaign of terror, the Burmese military regime has destroyed
3,200 villages, forcing 1.5 million people to flee their homes.
The
regime has recruited more child soldiers than any other country in the
world.
The regime has also locked up Aung San Suu Kyi, the world's only
imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize recipient.


As a result of China's policies, the UN is yet again making the same
mistakes the world made on Rwanda and Darfur.


http://salsa. democracyinaction. org/o/1189/t/5102/signUp. jsp?key=3127,
or read more.


Unless China changes its policies on Burma, I am going to turn off my
television, refuse to purchase products associated with the Olympics,
and instead do something for Burma on the opening day of the Olympics.


The Beijing Olympics begin on August 8, 2008.
On the same date in
1988, thousands of peaceful protesters were massacred by Burma's regime
during Burma’s first democracy uprising.
This date, 8/8/88, should not
be forgotten.


It is easy to do, all that is asked is to:

- Not watch the Beijing Olympics, specifically the opening and closing
ceremonies.


- Not purchase Olympics souvenirs and merchandise

- During the Olympics not purchase goods from Olympic corporate
sponsors.


Please join me in this effort.

tools to encourage your friends to do the same at

Song of the moment, dedicated to Grandpa Oslund

Hello everyone. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately we had to take my grandfather off the ventilator last night. He passed away this morning around 7am. I will be making something for him and I will of course post it here when I am finished. I wanted to let everyone know because I know some of you were wondering about it. My family and I thank you again for your thoughts and prayers. All my love and hugs to you all. Stay shiny and love everybody.

Song of the Moment: "When I Get Where I'm Going" - Brad Paisley Feat. Dolly Parton

Music Video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=J6Zfx5qra_g

---------------------
Lyrics:

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
And run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grand daddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
Hallelujah
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

Hey everyone! Well DeviantART removed my fanart so I'm resorting back to LiveJournal and my good 'ol website. I'll be updating soon both here and on my website. www.freewebs.com/sweet_jorja  I haven't updated it as of yet but hopefully soon. I have a secret weapon that I won't mention yet but I'm getting it tomorrow *squee* And I'll let y'all know what the deal is. I must go for now. Stay shiny and love everybody.

Music IS The Voice of the Soul

Dancing to the Music in My Head: Long Trip Alone - Dierks Bentley

This is a journal entry copied from my DeviantART account which can be found here. :iconsweet-kaywinnet: Let me know what you think!! Stay shiny everyone! (lidi I hope you don't mind my cutting the border off your Kaylee icon- it was too big for deviant art. If you want I can take it off if you'd prefer. I don't remember if I asked you. Sorry if I didn't. Love!)

--------------------------------------------------------

There's a saying that music is the voice of the heart and the soul. I've found over my 18 years that this is all kinds of true. Every time I hear a song I can picture something in my head. Whether it be me as the subject of the song or just what I think a music video for it might be. I listen to the music that fits my mood. Mostly I listen to country, but sometimes I'll listen to other things. If I'm in an active mood I'll listen to a mix of soundtrack songs. If I'm feelin kind of depressed, I'll listen to some Evanescence mixed with a few sadder country songs. If I'm content or relaxing I'll listen to instrumentals from people like Joshua Bell or other lighter music that I've been introduced to such as the Celtic Women music as introduced to me by the ever sweet :iconsilvervulpine:. Most times I'll listen to music when I'm on the computer- writing, working on fanart- whatever it may be. Today I found myself listening to my iPod on the way to church, as usual and I was only in the mood to hear certain songs. I would seriously skip over a hundred songs before I found one I felt like hearing. It was then I started thinking about what the soundtrack of my life would be. Now honestly there would be too many songs to mention of course- but I figured I'd list a few. That way if people were interested, they could check them out. It's kind of my way or spreading my own music to you fine people. If you don't like this- well then forgive my rant.

I'd like to see some of the songs on my lovely friend's 'live soundtracks'. Share with me!!

To all the Browncoats, stay shiny. And to all of my friends, luv and hugs.

*Here are a few choice lyrics that have been in my head forever. Yes once of the songs isn't listed- but that's not the point. Stay shiny!*

-------------------------------------------------
"I pray for it to go, God knows I want it to stay. But here I am loving you either way. Somewhere down along the line I guess that love became a crime. This contradiction makes no sense, this is punishment. I feel like this is judgment day I'll raise my hands stand up and say: 'I don't believe I'm innocent!' This is punishment." ~ Punishment - SheDaisy
-------------------------------------------------
"No matter how much your heart is aching. There is beauty in the breaking. When you're broken in a million little pieces and you're trying but you can't hold on anymore. Every tear falls down for a reason. Don't you stop believing in yourself. When you're broken." ~ Broken - Lindsey Haun
-------------------------------------------------
"My racing heart is just the same; why make it strong to break it once again?" ~ Leave Right Now - Will Young

Faith-Based Conviction Made Me Humble

August 15th, 2007 (12:37 am)
Humbled

Where I Choose to Be: The Engine Room of Serenity
Mental Status: Humbled
Dancing to the Music in My Head: Like Red on a Rose - Alan Jackson

{If parts of this don't make sense- forgive me. I'm a bit of a moonbrain right now. Stay shiny!}

Humble - I know the meaning of this word now.

Hey everyone! A few people know that I am currently preparing to move into a new place with my aunt and my mother. The landlord was willing to work with us on the deposit- which was a blessing because money is so very tight. We asked the pastor at our church for a loan for the deposit in which we would pay back after we got our current deposit back once we moved. Normally it wouldn't have been a problem. However, due to the renovations on the church and untrustworthy contractors- the church has no extra money. I learned this at the beginning of bible study tonight. I told my mom it was near impossible to get the kind of money we needed on our own in the two weeks we have left before we have to leave our current apartment. She looked at me and said "Ye of little faith. If it's meant to happen, the Lord will make it happen." The pastor told everyone of the troubles with the money and how in order to keep the church from debt he would have to sell our beloved retreat center (the most gorgeous place to spend some quiet time). Afterward he mentioned our troubles and asked if anyone cared to donate or loan. Now it takes a lot to make me even close to crying- but I saw about 8 to 12 people pull out their wallets (basically most of our church) and I almost cried. One of my best friends gave $100 of her own money and said if she needed she would dip into her savings.  Between everyone, they gave $575 and two ladies said once they got their checks at the end of the week- they would give a 'substantial amount'. At that moment- I felt convicted for my lack of faith earlier that evening. Not believing we could get the money in time before we had to be out of our current apartment. I feel completely blessed to know such people like I do. I had never been so humbled in my life as when I saw and heard what people were willing to give to us. It amazes me how generous people can be- whether there is a reason or not. My best friend's family has been so generous to me for the five years I've known them. Even if I had all the money in the world I couldn't pay them back for their kindness. For most of my life I've had trouble trusting people- so I'm always surprised at the kindness others show for me or anyone else I meet. I mean I don't think all people are bad by nature- but I've been hurt so many times by people I'm supposed to be able to trust that now I'm weary of everyone. Just to know people can be this kind- more than this even- it just blows me away. It's just- there are hardly words to describe it.

Okay- thanks for reading this personal ramble about how taken aback I am about kindness. Stay shiny! Love EVERYBODY!

Hey everyone! Wow I haven't updated in a LONG time! I didn't even update when I graduated! Oh yeah- I graduated. WOOT! Class of '07!! So that's done...Oh and I got to go to Cape Cod with my friend and her family. That was awesome! I just got back a few days ago. Now I get to start working and save money. Then we have to move- well finding a place first helps. Then I get to work this year then start college with my friend next year (she graduates after this year) then we can study Forensics and Criminal Justice together.

Anywhoo- enough of that. Just thought I'd say hi. I got a LOT of writing done over vacation and a little paint shop work. Everything will be posted at some point in the future. It all depends in how cooperative the computers in the house are. Oh by the way! Just before I left for vacation 2 weeks ago, I posted 2 new Firefly/Serenity music videos on YouTube. My user name is KaywinnetLeeFrye, check it out! Anywhoo- I think that's about it for now.

Oh, that and this show coming out on FOX (Yes the same evil station that canceled Firefly) the show is called The Sarah Connor Chronicles (or something to that effect) It's got Summer Glau in it- it looks AWESOME! Hopefully it lasts a while. Since it's based off of the Terminator movies- it could be a toss up. As long as there is enough publicity- it should do alright. As far as all this B.S. going on with Jorja Fox- I'm still ticked. Word has been released about possibly finding a new actress but whether she will replace Jorja is still unknown. Anywhoo- okay NOW I'm done. Luv and hugs y'all! Stay shiny!! Peace, Love, and CSI.

Hey y'all! It was about a year ago that I posted saying I 'thought' I was the 4th place winner at last years Bolton Idol (Our school's version of American Idol in the crappy little town where I'm {not} a hero) Anywhoo...this year was a much better year. total awesomeness!! I actually made it to the second round! Although out of those three I was in the final place, I was just happy that after three years I made it that far. If I had switched the order of my songs (which because of the set-up I couldnt do) I may have won. Anywhoo....I dont really care. It was WAY too much fun not to be happy with 3rd place. Plus I got a hefty $50 this morning when I got to school. so....yeah its not as good as the $75 for 2nd or $100 for 1st place, but it's still pretty shiny. Anywhoo.....luv and hugs everyone! Stay shiny and keep flyin'!!

Dancing to the Music in My Head: "Broken Bridges" by Toby Keith & Lindsey Haun from the Broken Bridges Soundtrack

Hello people! Well my vacation is winding down and I have yet to do my 10 or so math assignments lol. I've had to rearrange my room again to make space for the indeterminate number of people coming to my house tomorrow night for the birthday party I didn't get to have when it was my birthday. Why I'm telling you people this, I have no clue.

In other 'news', I decided to go to the Senior Celebration THEN go to the concert. I'll skip the dancing after the awards are given out at school...then if we get to the concert a few minutes late, no biggie.

Finally...yesterday a few friends came to hang out and help me with my room...so Kateri was (is still) here as usual and Manda came over too. GOD were they hyper! It was about 11:30pm and Manda is chatting away on her cell phone. She hands it to me and its some guy. We were both like "yeah this is akward" lol. But yeah, she's trying to set us up. lol. We've talked on AIM a little since then. He seems like a sweet guy; havin some trouble wiht a mutual aquaintence though, I feel bad for him. Anywhoo...enough of that crapola...I'm bored... I want it to be tomorrow so I can have my party then on Saturday I get to rush and do all of my homework. lol. Anywhoo...luv and hugs for now y'all! Stay shiny!!

Dancing to the Music in My Head: Stuck in My Head of Course "Goodnight Sweetheart" by David Kersh

Hey y'all!! It's that time of year once again! Bolton Idol!! A little over a month from now I will be, for the third year in a rwo, standing in front of people I don't know and singing. Hopefully this year I can make it the second round. It gets closer and closer each year...maybe my senior year will turn out to be it. If not then....o well...lol. Anywhoo....here's what I'm doing!!

Song of Choice:
"Broken" by Lindsey Haun from the Broken Bridges Soundtrack

Number 1 hit from the 70s, 80s 90s or Today (This was the easiest one yet lol)
"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood

Isn't that awesome!?!?!? I already have the karaoke for "Before He Cheats" but I was wondering if anyone had a karaoke for "Broken". I tried to get some guitar tabs and have my brother play it with my friend Dan on the piano...but my brother doesn't think he can do it and I have yet to ask Dan. Anywhoo...if someone can help out, let me know! 

Speaking of music...my mom won tickets to see Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn!! My first real concert!! Of course...as bad luck would have it...the oncert falls on the same night as my school's Senior Celebration where we are given our awards and yearbooks and such. Students and family members usually go. My mom said I could go to the school thing and she'd go to the concert with my grandmother...I told her that she had to go with me. :P lol. But I'm SO pissed! I've waited 18 years to go to a real concert and of course, I have a free oprotunity to go and I can't. We probabaly wont ever win any tickets again and I dont foresee myself having money to buy concert tickets any time in the near future. Anywhoo....thats the ramblings for this week...month...day...lol. But hey...I may have to miss the concert...but I get to graduate AND i get to see my dad...so I'm excited.

In other news...I have a friend who's father is good at making clothes and the like...he's making her prom dress for her and he said he could do mine if I bought the fabric!! Isn't that just the greatest!?!?!? I designed it myself. If course, some modifications will have to be made seein' as how I'm not as skinny as my drawings lol. But it's gonna look SO pretty! I'll have to take pretty pictures and blur my face (cuz I'm so paranoid) so all you people can see. The dress is kinda sorta based on Inara's dress from "Jaynestown" the red one with the cool sleeves... :-D. Mine is either gonna be red or purple, depending on if I can find the right kind of fabrics I want in purple first...lol.

And finally....dun da da DA!! I have a new fandom!! My friend Elyse has gotten me into yet another fandom. Out of my main, now four, fandoms...she has gotten me into three of them. CSI was grammy's fault...lol...but the rest are all Elyse. And what is this new fandom, you ask? Well...its House!! I have given in and joined the ranks of the House fans around the world. I'm only on season 2 though because I'm borrowing DVDs as of now. but I hope to be caught up by the time season 4 starts. Anywhoo....yeah thats it. lol.

For a while I've been known to some as The Browncoated CSI Angel of Music...well now after much thought I came up a new way to add my new fandom.

The Browncoated CSI Angel of Music, M.D.

lol. If anyone has any other suggestions, let me know. I like suggestions. Plus it lets me know that people actually read my entries and care. lol. Anywhoo......

Well that just about wraps it up for this week in the boring, uneventful life of ME.
