When reality is that our fate has already been written many eons ago. Why is it that these tests on the heart kindle such a bitter emotion that can tear you into pieces?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the meaning of it all if the one you feel or felt so much for sees the opposite for you? Why can one person claim they feel so much and have such a intentful presence then suddenly change their mind?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I ask too many questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I explain myself way too much. I think I'm just a creep anymore. I have never made anybody happy completely. I have always shunned or destroyed all of my loves because I am so damn selfish and inquisitive. I hate that side of this soul. I have to change it and never go back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is so terrible about my current situation is that I feel so useless to it all now. Everything I was trying to work towards has now fallen apart because I missed the signs. But, I never expected the fate of what has happened to come down to one single moment based on irrational motives. Things were not good. It was made clear. I made a complete about face and in the process things didn't get better between us. It only seemed to get worse. So much resentment held inside and it should of been let go of. I was making it better but it only got worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eggshells are a commodity in many relationships these days. We spread them before our feet expecting miracles to unravel some respect that should of been set as boundaries in the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am me and I can change me. No person can change me.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/8712263859279416556/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7326654&amp;postID=8712263859279416556&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/8712263859279416556'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/8712263859279416556'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.kevenvision.com/2007/01/just-because-lights-are-not-on.html' title='Just Because The Lights Are Not On...'/><author><name>kevenvision</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326654.post-3072766840781381848</id><published>2007-01-09T19:52:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-01-10T15:42:41.820-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Intoxicating</title><content type='html'>Inebriating,&lt;br /&gt;Distance creating,&lt;br /&gt;And emotional feeling that is frustrating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 years can not simply be torn apart.&lt;br /&gt;To much has built into more than just a feeling from the heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I refuse,&lt;br /&gt;bad news,&lt;br /&gt;you chose,&lt;br /&gt;to give me without a fight or blowing a fuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Every little part of me,&lt;br /&gt;can see,&lt;br /&gt;what should be,&lt;br /&gt;an everlasting existence for us D.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My best critic,&lt;br /&gt;You offer your thoughts unlike a cynic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why can you not see,&lt;br /&gt;just exactly what you mean to me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take away this fear of elated,&lt;br /&gt;jaded,&lt;br /&gt;and emancipated,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;grief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like a beautiful rose will die without a leaf&lt;br /&gt;We should chose to not let this just be an end based on a past thought or belief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Destiny?&lt;br /&gt;And elaborate mess we have an option to put in the past and set aside and show no pity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Left with my head on sideways,&lt;br /&gt;I can not understand why you allow or even ponder this demise for this many days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can no longer look into each other eyes.&lt;br /&gt;Can you try to see this and not allow the life of lies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we have always thought was the way it should be till death comes about.&lt;br /&gt;It is what we are programed to think even if we have no understanding to the word doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It can eradicate any happiness&lt;br /&gt;It can provide you a feeling loneliness.&lt;br /&gt;Even on a night of such tenderness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get it,&lt;br /&gt;You resent&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me and my ways,&lt;br /&gt;Because I neglected you us on many days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So sorry I am, I wish you could forgive me now so we could work on whats to come.&lt;br /&gt;This has shaken me up more than you think.

My problem is the women I was seeing for 3 years. Every bit of communication from her has been so impersonal with me and just wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can somebody forget about the good times and the fun times? How can somebody just pretend they didn't happen? It really confuses me and fills me with a feeling of uselessness to the entire thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like it meant nothing. Like there was nothing ever really important that happened. When in reality so much happened. So many things changed for the best for the both of us or so I thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why in the world is this so easy for one person and not another? Maybe its just me and the value I put on relationships. How at first I do not commit but then later on commit but only to find out that the other person does not want my commitment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We talked about having a child together. We talked openly about marriage. We talked about buying a home together. Why in the world would somebody just feel that way before. Then decide that that is not what they want with the other person. Why does this happen to me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh no its not me is it? Or was it her. I have no clue anymore. I tried and tried. She just couldn't get it I guess. She always said that relationships should not be this much work. But the truth is that any quality relationship is a lot of work. She is just missing that now. Perhaps I missed that at first when she was feeling what I am not feeling? Maybe in the beginning I was not giving much effort and she was?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the half of it. I am sure that that is probably the most of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It just sucks that she does not care about me anymore. I feel like if i was dead it wouldn't even phase her. After all we have been through. After all I have accepted about her with out judgment. After everything! I was just that easy to set aside and become a lampshade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think she is going to seriously regret not trying. I asked for counseling for the both of us and she said no, she said that I was the one who needed counseling first. She said NO. I asked many different people about that and they all had the same answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. She sees no reason to accept any responsibility for anything that has happened or gone wrong. And she is scared that some fault will be found in her for this also because she knows she has done wrong also but will not admit it because of pride. In short, she would be exposed for her roll in things going wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is the general answer summed up from different people. I have no reason to make that up. I am sure that those who read this may even think the same thing. If you think that is not the answer then please comment and tell me more possible reasons why. I am open to suggestions. In fact, I wonder how many people agree or disagree on that one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not a perfect person. I will be the first to admit that. I was scared of commitment once with her and I now know she is with me now. I got over my fear, and she could too if she could just let her guard down again. We could get past this together. I suppose that is why I feel so worthless to her right now. She wont even ponder the thought of her and I being worth anything more than history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She really has no idea the pain inside I feel for all of this. If she would just open up to me and let me know what the real issue is. What the real problem is. If she doesn't want children, then why can't she just tell me that. I would understand. I have accepted so many other things without judgment or fear, why would it bother me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I care for her so much. I have so many things to be thankful for because of her belief in me. She gave me so much strength to be better for us. Now my success I am having she does not want to be a part of. It is as if she just does not feel worthy of it. But fact is that she is. She should sulk in the glory of the her and I becoming more than what we were from the beginning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am falling into a state of depression again. One that will take me a while to get out of, again... I just miss her so much. I would accept anything she offered me. If it is something she does not want or does want, I would do the very best I could to get to that place for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I miss her.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/5067901770655581099/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7326654&amp;postID=5067901770655581099&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/5067901770655581099'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/5067901770655581099'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.kevenvision.com/2006/12/half-of-it.html' title='The half of it.'/><author><name>kevenvision</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326654.post-7532615058654583947</id><published>2006-12-29T00:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-12-29T00:45:51.647-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Calm Tom &amp; Babbeling Brook</title><content type='html'>Who are these people?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well calm Tom is a normal guy that does not really say much. babbling Brook is a open and very expressive person that can just talk and talk and talk about anything openly when she feels comfortable with a calm Tom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;calm Tom and babbling Brook meet one day and find that they connect very well. Babbling Brook can just talk and talk and calm Tom enjoys how smart and full of information babbling Brook is. Babbling Brook feels like she has found such a great person because calm Tom listens so intently seeing all the situations she has been through in life and enjoys how open she is with him about it all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day 3 years later, calm Tom wakes up and realises that babbling Brook knows nothing about calm Tom because everything has been about her and all she talked about was about her. Feeling like there is no way to communicate or understand how to express calm Tom's self. He feels trapped and finds that he likes nothing about babbling Brook. I mean all she does is talk and talk and talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If calm Tom would only see that babbling Brook's way of communicating is verbally and not through silence by means of small jesters much like calm Tom does. The communication between them would be more understood for the both of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See, it is a 2 sided coin. Both Tom and Brook need to realize that the language of love they are both speaking is not the same. Doesn't it sound logical for the both of them now to try to make an effort to learn how to communicate with each other in the special way they express them selves? Tom could make an effort to speak more freely and openly and Brook could learn to listen to Tom instead of making every conversation related to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Long story short.&lt;br /&gt;Try to understand how your other half is communicating to you. Either they say nothing or they say everything. Saying nothing does not mean they are not saying anything at all. And saying everything does not mean they are not concerned about you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is just the many different ways we communicate with one another.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/7532615058654583947/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7326654&amp;postID=7532615058654583947&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/7532615058654583947'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/7532615058654583947'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.kevenvision.com/2006/12/calm-tom-babbeling-brook.html' title='Calm Tom &amp; Babbeling Brook'/><author><name>kevenvision</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326654.post-112858527472265311</id><published>2005-10-06T03:54:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-10-06T03:55:44.646-04:00</updated><title type='text'>GO 2.4 Series Cordless Optical Air Mouse &amp; Compact Keyboard Suite</title><content type='html'>&lt;img src="http://blog.kevenvision.com/SuitePromo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I got new toy last a few days ago.

You can go &lt;a href="http://blog.kevenvision.com/2005/06/i-quit-cigs.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to read it if you care too. Or you can just read this post then read it below this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After thinking about how bad my friend Josh was doing after his dad died from what he did for work. I got to thinking that I should see if I can find some information related to Asbestos and Mesothelioma and what exactly it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The article below is one that I have rights to reprint. It will give you wayyyy more information than I know personaly. So read up and comment if you like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asbestos and Mesothelioma&lt;br /&gt;by MesotheliomaFirms.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asbestos is a dangerous and potentially deadly substance that was once widely used in a range of items, from ceiling and wall tiles to insulation and auto brakes. In the past, most people outside of the industry were totally unaware of the dangers relating to asbestos. However, over recent years the dangers and deadly effects of asbestos have become all too apparent, with more and more cases of the most deadly of these effects - mesothelioma - coming to light every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mesothelioma is a malignant cancer that can start in the cavities of the lungs, the heart, or the abdomen. This cancer is the direct result of exposure to disturbed asbestos, where the fibers become airborne. These airborne asbestos fibers can then be easily ingested or breathed in by those in the vicinity that are not wearing adequate protection. Once the asbestos fibers have lodged themselves within various parts of the body, they cannot be destroyed by the cells of the immune system, which are known as macrophages. Instead, the asbestos fibers lead to scar tissue within the body, and this is what can lead to mesothelioma and other asbestos related injuries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People that have contracted mesothelioma through asbestos exposure do not realize that anything is wrong for years. The typical latency period for this cancer is around twenty to forty years, which means that those affected may not find out for three or four decades following the exposure. Further delays can be experienced because of the symptoms of mesothelioma, which are very non-specific in nature - this means that they could easily be attributed to other more common ailments. This often leads to a delay in diagnosis, causing further delays when it comes to treatment of any sort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is currently no known cure for mesothelioma, although clinical trials and tests are continually being conducted. Over the past few years, many breakthroughs have been made in short term treatments and diagnostic procedures, which gives fresh hope to sufferers of this cancer. However, until a cure has been found, many people will continue to lose their lives due to the irresponsibility of various companies and manufacturers in decades gone by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Understandably, sufferers and their families want to see some form of compensation for the pain, suffering, and misery caused by asbestos and mesothelioma. Although no amount of money can make up for the damage done by unprotected asbestos exposure, it can help to pay for medical costs, and can also provide the sufferer's family with a more financially secure future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is important for anyone that is diagnosed with mesothelioma to seek legal assistance from an experienced mesothelioma lawyer without delay. Although legal action may not be something that you wish to think about after being dealt a bombshell such as this, any delay could make a difference between claiming millions of dollars for your suffering, expenses, and your family's future, or getting nothing at all. Your lawyer will need to know the extent of damage and the stage of your cancer, so it is advisable to provide a medical report from your doctor to enable your lawyer to put together a solid mesothelioma lawsuit and get as much compensation as possible for you and your loved ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About the author:&lt;br /&gt;MesotheliomaFirms.com offers listings of experienced mesothelioma attorneys and &lt;a href="http://www.mesotheliomafirms.com"&gt;asbestos and mesothelioma information&lt;/a&gt; and articles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visit &lt;a href="http://www.mesotheliomafirms.com"&gt;MesotheliomaFirms.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;for additional asbestos articles and information.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/111872666101151862/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7326654&amp;postID=111872666101151862&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/111872666101151862'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/111872666101151862'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.kevenvision.com/2005/09/more-info-about-asbestos-and.html' title='More info about Asbestos and Mesothelioma'/><author><name>kevenvision</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326654.post-112555324111453665</id><published>2005-09-01T01:36:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-09-01T01:40:41.126-04:00</updated><title type='text'>hurricane katrina - Google Search</title><content type='html'>It is an awful thing with what has happened.

Each year, in communities large and small, victims of some 70,000 disasters turn to the nearly one million volunteers and 35,000 employees of the Red Cross. Through almost 900 locally supported chapters, more than 15 million people gain the skills they need to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their homes, communities and world. Some four million people give blood through the Red Cross, making it the largest supplier of blood and blood products in the United States. As part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, a global network of 181 national societies, the Red Cross helps restore hope and dignity to the world's most vulnerable people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.redcross.org/"&gt;http://www.redcross.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;America's Second Harvest &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America's Second Harvest is the largest domestic hunger-relief organization in the United States. Founded in 1979, America's Second Harvest distributed 2.5 million pounds of food to a Network of 13 food banks in its first year operation. Today, the national Network secures and distributes nearly two billion pounds of food and grocery products to more than 200 regional food banks and food-rescue organizations in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The food banks and food rescue organizations then distribute food and grocery products to approximately 35,000 programs operating 50,000 feeding agencies nationwide including food pantries, soup kitchens, women's shelters, Kids Cafes and Community Kitchens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.secondharvest.org/"&gt;http://www.secondharvest.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Feed the Children&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feed The Children is a Christian, international relief organization with headquarters in Oklahoma City, Okla., that delivers food, medicine, clothing and other necessities to individuals, children and families who lack these essentials due to famine, war, poverty or natural disaster. During our 25-year history, Feed The Children has created and developed one of the world's largest private organizations dedicated to feeding hungry people. Last year, Feed The Children shipped 61 million pounds of food and 22 million pounds of other essentials to children and families in all 50 states and in 62 foreign countries. Feed The Children supplemented 509,133 meals a day, worldwide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.feedthechildren.org/"&gt;http://www.feedthechildren.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1866, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has been committed to alleviating pain, fear and suffering in all animals. The ASPCA is the oldest humane organization in America, and was founded by Henry Bergh, a philanthropist and diplomat who recognized the inhumane treatment suffered by many animals in our society. Growing from a small organization dedicated to improving the lives of animals in New York City, especially farm and work animals, the ASPCA now runs a vast variety of programs to help animals nationwide. We offer national programs in humane education, public awareness, government advocacy, shelter support, and animal medical services and placement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aspca.org/"&gt;http://www.aspca.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AmeriCares &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AmeriCares is a disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization providing immediate response to emergency medical needs, as well as supporting long-term humanitarian assistance programs, for all people around the world, irrespective of race, creed or political persuasion. AmeriCares solicits donations of medicines, medical supplies and other relief materials from U.S. and international manufacturers, and delivers them quickly and efficiently to indigenous health care and welfare professionals around the world. Since its founding, AmeriCares has provided more than $4.0 billion of aid in more than 137 countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americares.org/"&gt;http://www.americares.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mercy Corps&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty, and oppression by helping people build secure, productive, and just communities. Since 1979, Mercy Corps has provided more than $1 billion in assistance to 81 nations. Mercy Corps is known nationally and internationally for its quick-response, high-impact programs, which include projects in emergency relief, sustainable community development, and civil society initiatives. Mercy Corps is committed to long-term community-based efforts that help people help themselves. With headquarters in the United States and Scotland, Mercy Corps is an international family of humanitarian agencies that reaches more than six million people each year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mercycorps.org/"&gt;http://www.mercycorps.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Operation Blessing International &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Operation Blessing International (OBI), founded in 1978, works to demonstrate God's love by alleviating human need and suffering in the United States and around the world. In efforts to relieve human suffering we combat hunger, deprivation and physical affliction with the provision of food, clothing, shelter, medical care and other basic necessities of life. We also help facilitate the development of healthy, vibrant and self-sustaining communities by addressing larger issues of education, food security, potable water, employment, community health, and disaster mitigation projects. In every endeavor, OBI seeks to exemplify Christian compassion and benevolence while conforming to the highest standards of integrity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ob.org/"&gt;http://www.ob.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Samaritan's Purse &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have hundreds of projects in more than 100 countries around the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.samaritan.org/"&gt;http://www.samaritan.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;World Emergency Relief&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;World Emergency Relief (WER) is an interdenominational fellowship of Christians worldwide, working together to help people in need, especially children and their families. Since 1991, WER has been a leader in promoting the responsible and ethical use of "gifts-in-kind" at our own projects worldwide, as well as projects we share with other outreaches. WER receives daily requests for commodities. We verify needs and cultural appropriateness of supplies we can procure. We then seek those supplies from corporate donors and other charities. Before shipping, we check that supplies are safe and usable, and we often must obtain import permission from foreign embassies in the U.S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldemergency.org/"&gt;http://www.worldemergency.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brother's Brother Foundation &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brother's Brother Foundation (BBF) promotes international health and education through the efficient and effective distribution and provision of donated medical, educational, agricultural, and other resources. Since it began in 1958, BBF has helped people in over 120 countries, working through and in partnership with local agencies that want to help their own people. Together with partners in the United States and other more affluent countries, we have provided over $1,600,000,000 in goods and services, that includes 71,730 tons of medical supplies, text books, seeds and food that have touched many tens of millions with better health, education, nutrition, material security and hope.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.brothersbrother.org/"&gt;http://www.brothersbrother.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Capital Area United Way&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Capital Area United Way (CAUW) is a volunteer-based network of people who provide community services to those in need. CAUW is currently funding 54 health and human service agencies and 26 strategic grant programs in the 10-parish Capital Area. The organization has been making a difference in the Baton Rouge community since 1925. Trained and experienced volunteers ensure that every group receiving funds is a nonprofit, tax-exempt charity governed by volunteers, and that it submits to an annual independent financial audit, and provides services at a reasonable cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cauw.org/"&gt;http://www.cauw.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Christian Relief Fund &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Christian Relief Fund is dedicated to following Christ's example of ministering to human needs: spiritually, physically, and emotionally, by feeding the hungry, healing disease and heartbreak, fighting ignorance and poverty through education and preaching the Gospel through word and deed. Baxter Loe founded the Christian Relief Fund in May of 1971. The Christian Relief Fund has since grown to provide child sponsorship, family sponsorship, and operate children's homes and schools in third-world countries. CRF sponsorship programs and homes provide food, clothes, medical care, schooling, and Bible teaching in 22 countries. Currently nearly 3,000 children are being sponsored in our programs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianrelieffund.org/"&gt;http://www.christianrelieffund.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Church World Service &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Founded in 1946, Church World Service (CWS) is the relief, development, and refugee assistance ministry of 36 Protestant, Orthodox, and Anglican denominations in the United States. Working in partnership with indigenous organizations in more than 80 countries, CWS works worldwide to meet human needs and foster self-reliance for all whose way is hard. Within the United States, CWS assists communities in responding to disasters, resettles refugees, promotes fair national and international policies, provides educational resources, and offers opportunities to join a people-to-people network of local and global caring through participation in Crop Walks, the Tools &amp;amp; Blankets Program, and the "Gift of the Heart" Kit Program.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.churchworldservice.org/"&gt;http://www.churchworldservice.org/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Convoy of Hope &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Convoy of Hope serves in the United States and around the world providing disaster relief, building supply lines and sponsoring outreaches to the poor and hurting in communities. During a COH outreach, free groceries are distributed, job and health fairs are organized and activities for children are provided. COH conducts events in approximately 30 cities and 10 countries each year, and partners with government, businesses and non-profit organizations to build community unity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.convoyofhope.org/"&gt;http://www.convoyofhope.org/&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;rls=GGLD,GGLD:2003-51,GGLD:en&amp;q=hurricane+katrina' title='hurricane katrina - Google Search'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/112555324111453665/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7326654&amp;postID=112555324111453665&amp;isPopup=true' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/112555324111453665'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/112555324111453665'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.kevenvision.com/2005/09/hurricane-katrina-google-search.html' title='hurricane katrina - Google Search'/><author><name>kevenvision</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326654.post-112435172785715827</id><published>2005-08-18T03:55:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-08-18T03:55:28.363-04:00</updated><title type='text'>The Unofficial Jordis Unga Rockstar Inxs Blog</title><content type='html'>Ok so I am hooked.

That thing he did with his tounge was just crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://jordis-unga-rockstar-inxs-blog.blogspot.com/' title='The Unofficial Jordis Unga Rockstar Inxs Blog'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/112435172785715827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7326654&amp;postID=112435172785715827&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/112435172785715827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/112435172785715827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.kevenvision.com/2005/08/unofficial-jordis-unga-rockstar-inxs.html' title='The Unofficial Jordis Unga Rockstar Inxs Blog'/><author><name>kevenvision</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326654.post-112337682083097374</id><published>2005-08-06T21:07:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-08-06T21:07:00.886-04:00</updated><title type='text'>OurIPis.com - Resources | | Quickly Get Your IP Address</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://ouripis.com/resources/"&gt;OurIPis.com - Resources | Quickly Get Your IP Address&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have been busy this weekend.

Something that was not really made well known till only reciently. Read the below excerpt from the link above. If you find this interesting read the whole thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"NCBA Bulletin, May 1988.&lt;br /&gt; 'Deceptive statements by IRS spokesmen and other propagandists have created&lt;br /&gt;great confusion as to whether these limitations on direct taxes are still in&lt;br /&gt;effect.  Some incorrectly claim that the 16th Amendment (the Income Tax&lt;br /&gt;Amendment) changed the constitutional limitations on direct taxes and&lt;br /&gt;authorized an income tax as a direct tax without apportionment.   The U.S.&lt;br /&gt;Supreme Court rejected these claims in the case of Brushaber v. Union Pacific&lt;br /&gt;RR. Co., 250 US 1, when they ruled that the 16th Amendment created no new&lt;br /&gt;power of taxation and that it did not change the constitutional limitations&lt;br /&gt;and that it did not change the constitutional limitations which forbid any&lt;br /&gt;direct taxation of individuals.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Federal Tax Lien Act of 1966, P.L. 89-719 legislative history, Pg. 3722&lt;br /&gt;states, 'The entire taxing and monetary systems are hereby placed under the&lt;br /&gt;Uniform Commercial Code.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On page 3 of the 1993 Instructions for Form 1040 is a statement by the&lt;br /&gt;Commissioner of the IRS, 'You are among the millions of Americans who comply&lt;br /&gt;with the tax law voluntarily.'  'Thank you for making this nation's tax&lt;br /&gt;system the most effective system of voluntary compliance in the world.'&lt;br /&gt; Meaning the greatest population of sheep.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The American Heritage Dictionary defines "voluntarily" as:&lt;br /&gt;"1) Arising from one's own free will:  2) Acting on one's own initiative:  3)&lt;br /&gt;Acting or serving in a specified capacity willingly and without constraint."&lt;br /&gt; If the IRS's own Commissioner states that We the People comply with their&lt;br /&gt;law voluntarily, why is it that those who don't comply voluntarily are&lt;br /&gt;prosecuted, bankrupted and thrown into prison?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Why are Americans forced to surrender their rights under the supreme law of&lt;br /&gt;the land, the U.S. Constitution by an agency that has no authority under the&lt;br /&gt;U.S. Constitution or by any powers granted by the U.S. Congress?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Being coerced and forced to submit a signed tax return violates your Fifth&lt;br /&gt;Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.  As soon as you sign and submit&lt;br /&gt;a tax return, you give the IRS license to use this information against you in&lt;br /&gt;a court of law.  Unconstitutional.  The Fifth Amendment states you cannot be&lt;br /&gt;forced to give incriminating evidence against yourself.  Why are 110 million&lt;br /&gt;"taxpayers" putting up with this from 535 people in the Congress?  This is&lt;br /&gt;OUR  country, We the People."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Read the whole thing &lt;a href="http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/pkt/1997m03-b/msg00042.htm"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://archives.econ.utah.edu/archives/pkt/1997m03-b/msg00042.htm' title='[Fwd: Re: The Federal Reserve and IRS Scam]'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/112278004673075586/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7326654&amp;postID=112278004673075586&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/112278004673075586'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7326654/posts/default/112278004673075586'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.kevenvision.com/2005/07/fwd-re-federal-reserve-and-irs-scam.html' title='[Fwd: Re: The Federal Reserve and IRS Scam]'/><author><name>kevenvision</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326654.post-112268661510062979</id><published>2005-07-29T21:23:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2005-07-29T21:23:35.100-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Singer's Creations � UserClone</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.singerscreations.com/AboutSysSense.asp"&gt;Singer's Creations � UserClone&lt;/a&gt;: "SysSense is your personal desktop Google AdSense monitor.
