Welcome, my friend, you are not alone. I am very pleased that you are here. And let me remind you that there is nothing more important than your life. Nothing.

My name is Kevin Caruso. I am the Executive Director of Suicide.org and I would like to share some important information with you. The first thing that I want you to know is that virtually every person that I have talked with who attempted suicide, and survived, was glad that they lived. So the emotions that were causing the suicidal feelings did pass. Things got better; the sun did come out. So, let me extend that hope to you.

If you are in intense emotional and/or physical pain, remember that your judgment is being clouded by that pain. If you are considering suicide, you are trying to end that pain. Please do not confuse ending your pain with ending your life. The two are very different.

Let me also tell you that if you are suicidal, you probably are suffering from clinical depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, postpartum depression, PTSD, or something similar. And if you have something along these lines, you actually have a chemical imbalance in your brain -- and you cannot possibly think straight because of it. That is beyond your control. You are not weak. You just need some treatment. This imbalance can occur for several reasons, from genetics to a traumatic life experience, and it is extremely common for people to have this imbalance, so do not feel like you are alone. You are not.



This imbalance may be rectified in several ways, but first you need to be assessed so that the cause may be understood. I would request that you please go to a medical doctor.

The doctor can determine if there is a secondary problem (such as a thyroid problem) that is causing the imbalance. If so, an appropriate medication may be prescribed to you. Next, you should visit a therapist. This will allow another assessment to occur and will also allow you to begin talking about your feelings. If the therapist determines that you need a prescription, he or she may refer you to someone who may assist you in that area.

Please leave the option open for taking medication. Some people erroneously believe that they can simply use will power to control their suicidal feelings. The problem with this thinking is that, again, there is probably a chemical imbalance in the brain. And that needs to be treated with medicine. So let me ask you this, my friend. If you had a broken leg, would you get treatment or would you just keep walking on it, writhing in pain, and trying to convince yourself that you just needed will power to overcome the pain? You would get treatment, and you would do so immediately. You would not even think twice about it. And I would most respectfully submit to you that your situation is similar. If you are diagnosed with clinical depression, or something similar, then there is a physical cause for your condition. And you need to seek treatment immediately. It is not just emotion. Please understand this, my friend. The brain, after all, is an organ. And sometimes needs treatment.

If you cannot afford to see a doctor or therapist, please seek out some clinics that have reduced rates. There are many affordable places to go. You can call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) to get listings for clinics in your area. Do not hesitate to call. You can also check in your phone book.

After your initial assessment, you will need to see a therapist long enough to work through all of the issues that are bothering you. Do not be in a hurry -- things will get better. You may feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster ride, but those ups and downs will level out.

My friend, thank you so very much for being here. It means a lot to me because the mere fact you are here indicates that you are reaching out, and that you really do want to live. So, I want you to do something else that is very important. Please make a commitment to stay alive. To not die by suicide, no matter what. Make this commitment for all of the people who care for you, and for yourself. Remember that if you try to end your pain by ending your life, you will start a world of pain for the loved ones that you leave behind. And you will deprive yourself of many wonderful things that you have yet to experience.

Thank you for making that commitment.

Now, my friend, I have told you the things that you should do. So, please get started. Please make an appointment right now to see a doctor and a therapist. If you can't do it now, do it as soon as possible. I care about you very much, and I love you very much, so I want you to get better as soon as possible.

One final thing. Relax. That's right. Relax. Take some deep breaths and do something that you enjoy that relaxes you. Take a bath. Go for a walk. Listen to some nice music. Just take it easy. And engage in these activities that relax you on a regular basis. And let me tell you, my friend, you are on your way. On your way to a better life.

Always remember that there are phone numbers that you can call
24 hours a day, 7 days a week,

And I love you!

Take care,

music piracy

I have read many articles on music piracy over the months and have read many articles in the "billboard" magazine that comes out weekly. over the months I have seen the closing of many brick and mortals stores due to piracy but also due to the price of music.we can argue that the cost of a music cd lead to piracy or piracy lead to the price of music cds going up.either way whatever the reason, it happens and it needs to stop. before the age of Internet it still was going on.I grew up with the age of 8-tracks,cassettes and lps.and now we have cds,ipods and other sources. people would record their music onto cassettes and sell them and it was easy to do.now people burn them onto cds and sell them and yes the writers,producers and singers lose out.for they had no way to get money from those sales for they were done illegally.now you can go to places like lime-wire,grokster and other sources and get free music.once again the artist loses out- now alot of people like myself like to go to the store and feel and see the product we buy-buying over the Internet and paying first for the item seems like a nice way and convenient way to go without leaving the house.yes i have bought things online, but i still prefer to pay for things in hand.picking up the item and walking to the cashier and paying for it. now that music cds has gone now quite a bit at the stores.its nice to go on tuesday to see new releases going for $7.99 to $9.99 a piece. alot better than $15.99-$19.99 a piece.the price came a little to late for alot of music stores for they have closed.I live in a area where we have no major chain music store at all.

we depend on bestbuy,target,wal-mart and kmart for our music and barnes and nobles book store. because of the economy and people not buying cds at stores we have seen wal-mart and k-mart cut their music section down a whole lot. I don't blame the stores for if a product don't sale it is just taking up space and they are losing money or I should say they are not making money for that product. barnes and nobles always has a great selection of all genres of music as well as bestbuy. target is new here so I don't know if that is all they have ever carried or if they have also been hit by people not buying the music. as more and more people find more ways to obtain free music via the internet or someone burning them a free cd.in the long run the artist are suffering as well as the music industry.then in turn we the ones who does buy our music whether it be from itunes or Napster,amazon.com or from other legal sources like our local store. I know a new artist must have a hard time making it when people don't obtain their music from legal sources and people continue to pirate a cd or a single.

I feel if i buy my music so should everyone else-but if everyone had that same thinking the music industry would not be hurting.I don't condone piracy but i also understand why people started doing it. cds were going for almost 20 dollars a pop and that mean you might be able to buy 1 or 2 a month or maybe none at all.as the economy goes more and more downhill the more we all will feel the pinch. as things go up in prices like insurances and food-we will see the music industry suffer more and more. I wonder with the internet constantly growing and getting better and better that there is not a system to control the way music is being downloaded illegally. that doesn't mean someone who happens to download one or 2 songs illegally are fined huge but the place that they got the song they got illegally should be the one who is fined. if there was not a site you can go to to get free songs then that would cut down the illegal downloading. I realize if you shut down one site there is another one ready to take its place. but there needs to be a better system than what is in place and that will work.

on to my next subject

OK i think that's enough about suicide and its effect and what to look for.hopefully it will help someone and maybe one one of you can also help someone who is in distress. I would like to say that I won't ever do it again or tell you i am completely happy and have friends all around me.ha ha not likely but i take it one day at a time. as for friends well needless to say i am an introvert-and people make me nervous and i have problems expressing myself-imagine that.after 49 years i am still an introvert and very shy.so making friends is a hard thing for me-never know what to say or make myself clear and i am very misunderstood-so i stay this way.

now going to collect Cd's,(music)collecting Gone with the wind' memorabilia or collecting swords and knives or collecting cherished teddies is my joy.working in the yard and finding ways to make it look better-raising my 2 Colombian red tail boas as pet has given me joy.playing online games and playing on pogo.com-and sometimes blogging to get things off my chest.but its those quiet times when my mind never stops,whether i am laying down or sitting on the porch-the quiet times that gets to me-my mind 100 miles a hour and it never stops-maybe one day i might be able to get a handle on this. not month i will be alone in a 3 bedroom house-my daughter and grandson are moving into their own apartment which i think its great for them-my son is incarcerated and well my wife left me saying it wasn't me it was her.I have my doubts on that for i know i am no where a perfect husband-i have my faults but apparently she not saying what i did wrong so she replies it is her not me.i think that is a cop out and i can't believe i did nothing wrong. a marriage takes 2 good or bad. but i guess i just have to just let go and maybe one day she will tell me the truth. but i won't hold my breath. I have nothing bad to say about my wife-she is a wonderful,loving person who cares.she gives everything into a relationship,she a awesome cook,we share cleaning the house together-maybe not as much as i should.but i do help,overall she a extremely amazing loving wife.what happened i don't know i can only assume or guess.which i am not good at either. but enough on that as well.well thanks again for listening to my babbling.

suicide part II

what could i possibly write or blog again about this subject?well this for ones who are wondering how do i spot someone who is about to or in the process of committing suicide.

there are several signs but some don't shows signs while others do.depression and other disorders are sometimes very obvious while some are not.

so i got some help from some sites i would like to share with you-the following is from:

http://my.clevelandclinic.org/disorders/suicide/hic_recognizing_suicidal_behavior.aspx


Suicide is not a mental illness in itself, but a serious potential consequence of many mental disorders, particularly major depression.

Who is most likely to commit suicide?
Suicide rates are highest in teens, young adults, and the elderly. People over the age of 65 have the highest rate of suicide. Although women are more likely to attempt suicide, men are more likely to be successful. Suicide risk also is higher in the following groups:

•Older people who have lost a spouse through death or divorce
•People who have attempted suicide in the past
•People with a family history of suicide
•People with a friend or co-worker who committed suicide
•People with a history of physical, emotional, or sexual abuse
•People who are unmarried, unskilled, or unemployed
•People with long-term pain, or a disabling or terminal illness
•People who are prone to violent or impulsive behavior
•People who have recently been released from a psychiatric hospitalization (This often is a very frightening period of transition.)
•People in certain professions, such as police officers and health care providers who work with terminally ill patients
•People with substance abuse problems


What are the warning signs for suicide?
Following are some of the possible warning signs that a person may be at risk for suicide:

•Excessive sadness or moodiness — Long-lasting sadness and mood swings can be symptoms of depression, a major risk factor for suicide.
•Sudden calmness — Suddenly becoming calm after a period of depression or moodiness can be a sign that the person has made a decision to end his or her life.
•Withdrawal — Choosing to be alone and avoiding friends or social activities also are possible symptoms of depression. This includes the loss of interest or pleasure in activities the person previously enjoyed.
•Changes in personality and/or appearance — A person who is considering suicide might exhibit a change in attitude or behavior, such as speaking or moving with unusual speed or slowness. In addition, the person might suddenly become less concerned about his or her personal appearance.
•Dangerous or self-harmful behavior — Potentially dangerous behavior, such as reckless driving, engaging in unsafe sex, and increased use of drugs and/or alcohol might indicate that the person no longer values his or her life.
•Recent trauma or life crisis — A major life crises might trigger a suicide attempt. Crises include the death of a loved one or pet, divorce or break-up of a relationship, diagnosis of a major illness, loss of a job, or serious financial problems.
•Making preparations — Often, a person considering suicide will begin to put his or her personal business in order. This might include visiting friends and family members, giving away personal possessions, making a will, and cleaning up his or her room or home. Some people will write a note before committing suicide.
•Threatening suicide — Not everyone who is considering suicide will say so, and not everyone who threatens suicide will follow through with it. However, every threat of suicide should be taken seriously.




Can suicide be prevented?
In many cases, suicide can be prevented. Research suggests that the best way to prevent suicide is to know the risk factors, be alert to the signs of depression and other mental disorders, recognize the warning signs for suicide, and intervene before the person can complete the process of self-destruction.

People who receive support from caring friends and family, and who have access to mental health services are less likely to act on their suicidal impulses than are those who are isolated from sources of care and support. If someone you know is exhibiting warning signs for suicide, don’t be afraid to ask if he or she is depressed or thinking about suicide. In some cases, the person just needs to know that someone cares and is looking for the chance to talk about his or her feelings. You can then encourage the person to seek professional help.


What should I do if someone I know is talking about committing suicide?
If someone you know is threatening suicide, take the threat seriously.

•Do not leave the person alone. If possible, ask for help from friends or other family members.
•Ask the person to give you any weapons he or she might have. Take away sharp objects or anything else that the person could use to hurt himself or herself.
•Try to keep the person as calm as possible.
•Call 911 or take the person to an emergency room.

objects including forks,medication,alcohol,recreational drugs or over the counter drugs,take away their car keys,rope,shoe string,anything with a electric cord attached to it,bed sheet which can be a substitute for a rope,anything in the house that can used as a weapon.I have known someone dropping a plugged in electrical instrument in to the bath they was taken and dropped it in with them.I have seen someone hang them self with a sheet from a bed.we won't get into everything i have tried.besides overdose of pills-i have taken a truck i was driving and going as fast as i could toward a tree(i did not see the dead tree that was laying on the ground and covered with grass that i hit instead and it changed my direction into a a bunch of dead shrubs)so not everything works out as plan.

now my mission is to prevent others from going through what i have gone through in my life.I am trying to let people there are other options,i know when you are deep in thoughts of suicide its not easy to bring yourself out it-by this time your mind has been made up.

Top 10 Warning Signs of Suicidal Behavior


Suicide is one of the problems that are occurring in the world today. When one decides to commit suicide, they have decided that it is better to take their own life instead of to continue living. Before someone gets to this extent, you can look for warning signs of suicidal behavior. Here are ten classic warning signs to look for if you think that someone is going to commit suicide. If you see any of these signs, it is important to also talk to the person and find the right help before they carry through with killing themselves.

1. Depression. Before someone decides to commit suicide, they will usually be feeling several different emotions. These will include things like sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. Depression will most often include a loss of interest in life and the things that are happening around someone. Major depression, when caught on time, can be treated through medication and therapy.

2. Talking about dying. Often times, those who are considering suicide will be thinking about different ways which they can kill themselves. They will move into telling one different ways in which they can die. They may also be thinking of ways in which someone else killed themselves.

3. Sleep patterns. Those who are depressed and considering suicide may change their sleeping habits. This can range from them sleeping too much to not sleeping at all and being restless all of the time. Often times, one will move from a regular schedule to being hyperactive. They then may move into periods of sleeping for long periods of time.

4. Concentration. A loss in concentration at work or in school as well as in extra-curricular activities may also occur. If you notice that someone is not putting as much effort into different areas of life as usual, then it can be a sign that they are depressed.

5. Eating habits. Many times, those who are considering suicide will have a loss in appetite. If you aren’t monitoring this part, be aware of sudden weight loss that may occur. At the same time, there may be some who will overeat as a result.

6. Low self-esteem. This is one of the major factors that play a part in one wanting to commit suicide. This will include feeling worthless and guilty. Hatred may also be a part of this, as they will seem to not like anyone.

7. Lack of goals. Those who are complicating suicide will have a disinterest in the idea of the future and different goals that they want to reach. They will also seem to not care about the present actions that are happening around them in relation to the future.

8. Making arrangements. This may include several different things. Arranging for someone to take care of their animals or things is one sign of someone thinking about committing suicide. They may also begin giving away the things that seem to be important to them. Several will make out wills as well in order to make sure that things are taken care of after they are gone.

9. Loss of control. This may include harming others, as well as harm towards them. This loss of control may also include outbursts of anger or sadness that happen without warning.

10. History. It is also important to look at the events that are surrounding one’s life in relation to them wanting to commit suicide. This may include the loss of someone who they loved. It may also include a lost job, relationship, money, friends or religion. These losses and agitations are one thing to look for in relation to suicide. If they willingly stop attending things as well, it may be a sign that they are losing their interest in life.

By looking for the signs, you can help someone to not commit suicide. As soon as you think they have suicidal tendencies, it is important to find them help. By doing this, you will be giving them a chance to find their goals again and begin moving forward. The most common way to recognize suicidal tendencies is through a change in mood, such as depressive qualities. However, there are also several other signs that one is suicidal. If you recognize any of these, it is best to approach someone about what they are thinking and try to redirect them towards a better life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and also remember some people don't show signs whatsoever-they don't want to attention drawn to them so that way nobody will try to stop them.
also if someone that lives alone you will never know cause there is no one who can see the symptoms to help them.

I hope the sites above help you and what i have posted and cut and paste from various
site and their website address.

my story(suicidal idealism)

back in may of 2010 i made an attempt on my life-I took 90 pills of quetiapine fumarate (seroquel)each pill was 100mg a piece.90 times 100mg equals 9000mg total.my intent was to end my life.alot of people don't understand why i did it and what purpose it served.back on July 15,1984 I flipped a gamma goat while i was stationed in west Germany(well it was back then)and rolled it back it on its wheel-i remember hitting the top of my head hard on the ground.I walked out of the accident with some bruises and a huge lump on the front of my knee.since i was not bleeding and was conscious i was not taken to the hospital and not knowing that the hit on my head since it was not seen was not a worry to anyone.after several months to a year i started having real bad pains i was experiencing blank spots in my memory and since i went to the doctor nothing could ever be found.2 years later i started experiencing extreme to severe depression-which of course was a big no no in the military so i hid it for a a few more years.by 1989 it was so bad i was hospitalized in a civilian psych ward then transfer to fort hood,Texas and i spend 6 months on the top floor of the hospital.I did not want out of the service for i have had 10 years in service at that time-the doctor inform me if i stayed he thought i would not lived to see the next 10 years.so winter of 1989 i was given a 50 percent disabled retirement.(which later the VETERANS ADMINSTRATION WOULD EVENTUALLY RATE ME AT 100 PERCENT PERMANENT DISABLED.)FROM 1989 i have suffered from severe depression which they gave it another name i cannot recall-for they say depression in it self is curable with meds and treatment-neither has worked for me thus far.I have attempted suicide so many times in the last 21 years i lost count-I am not bragging i am trying to make a point.i have also been diagnose with borderline bipolar disorder dual personalities disorder,anxiety disorder,and so many other things.but in life i have noticed people who attempted suicide-1)people will say ooh they just looking for attention,2)people start acting differently around you,3)they stop interacting or even talking to you,4)they are just crazy,5)you in the end end up totally alone.

first of all you know someone who is thinking about it and has they need your help and they need to be rush to hospital asap-don't hesitate to call 911.
not everyone that attempts suicide have any desire to live.believe me every time i attempted it was to die.that was and is what is always on my mind.you asked how am i still alive-because people either has found me and gotten me to a hospital-i have gone deep in the woods where no one ever goes and still was found.the only thing I can think of is Jesus send someone to me.I don't care for sympathy nor do i want anyone to feel sorry for me.i am by no means that bad-for i know there is alot of people who are worst then i.why do i do it-living with depression on a daily basis-7 days a week 24 hours a day is hard and you get tired of being depressed.no breaks from it and you want to know what i do-no i don't stay in the house 24/7 and the dark and gloom-i work in my yard almost everyday,i read books,i watch movies,i get out of the house and go shopping,sometimes i go for just a ride.I listen to music basically all the time,see a therapist,take my meds and try to stay active.but regardless its still there-i want to get my story out cause i know there are people out there with the same condition as i have or some that are worse than i have.there is help for us and maybe there is someone you know who suffers from theses problems.its not easy we struggle on a daily basis others worse than others.we need someone to talk to someone to understand,someone to just be there,or someone to not turn their back on us when we have a episode or attempt suicide.

racism

I think here it is 2009 and racism is still a common place in this world.you would think that after all theses decades that we would of put away that kind of of hatred.you would thing that people that claimed to be Christians,Muslims,catholics,and other religions and how they teach to love one another and hate no one.but still people are racist against,black,whites,Asians,Europeans,middle Easterners,Russians,and if that is not enough then they are against Jews,Muslims,catholics,protestants are against one another and other religions as well.I can't believe the hate in this world and it has only gotten worse.I don't understand the logic of alot of people.its not just the common man,its has reached into the churches,among the leaders there,the police officers,the mayors,the goverment,all the way up to some past presidents.I believe we are in the right direction with having our first african american president,to me that is a start. if only we can get the people down here on the streets to stop the hate and start to love one another or at least live in harmony.maybe i am expecting to much but i don't believe all things are impossible-just some more time and the right people in the forefront.i kust keep praying for harmony and peace,and maybe yet we will achieve this.

president Barack Obama

I can't believe how people can be so stupid as to threaten our president.hate him or love him he is our president.you need to pray for him and ask Jesus to guide his life and that he will do the right thing.already in the short time he has been in office they are condemning him and saying he is selling us short.I don't know all the ends and out of politics but i know you do favors for favors etc etc. our system is not perfect nor is the people who runs this country.remember they are men and women like you and I and they do make mistakes.but to threaten them any of them is wrong.one thing writing a letter and saying you don't like what he is doing or maybe proposing a different way is OK.but to out right threaten him is wrong very wrong.I don't expect him to perform miracles but for him to do his job the best of his ability.people forget that he has to go through senators,congress and the house.so before you get mad at him or think he is not doing a good job look at your state elected representatives.they can help him or hinder him-they will do what they think is best for your state.(well i know u r laughing at this)but that is what they are suppose to be doing.I will continue to pray for our president as well as the other chosen leaders and pray that GOD will direct them in the days ahead.I am not a big Obama follower but i will support him as long as he hold the office of president and for you people who don't like him go to the polls in 4 years and vote for who u want,you have a choice so make it and vote.myself i think he is trying to do to many things at one time and i think that is what hurting him,but if he keeps up what he is doing and keeps doing what he says he will do,he will have my vote this next time.but i have 4 years to decide and he has 4 years to be president. let the man do his job,stop with the threats already and give him a chance.you cannot judge his actions just by a few months in office.forget the color of his skin,forget his religious preferences,forget about his background or his parents,judge the man's action not the man.for he is a man and he is human and yes he will make mistakes for we all do.just pray for him.

happy new year

well its time to reflect over the past year and look at the things we did wrong or what we accomplished or etcetera.this past year we experienced a hurricane which really did no damage to us here on the Mississippi coast(speaking for myself only)but Louisiana which is still crippled from Katrina got hit twice along with Texas and several other states.we also elected in a new president Barack Obama,we also see where a lot of people lost a lot of money in the market-and we saw a 700 billion dollar bailout and wondering where that money went.most of us received a small check from the government to help boost the economy-we lost some celebrity along the way to death,and some new ones were made and more reality shows were aired on the TV,and the ever repeating doom that televisions that depends on antennas will no longer work after february 2009.where banks are merging and the car companies are in need of money.of course that means if they run out of money that means thousands of people out of jobs and it in the long run will hurt the economy.I imagine before it is over we will have to bail them out.

as for me and my family we have had a good year,we don't dapper in the stock market so we didn't lose no money there(like we have that kind of money)and our overall health is pretty good and like everything and everyone else we have had our ups and downs but we are still here and going strong-i hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful year and may it be prosperious and healthy.

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU- happy new year(2009)

African American

first of all i am sick and tired of all this political correctness garbage.secondly is all of this i am an African American or I am a native american or I am an asian american.if you live in any of the 50 united states you are an american.
only person i know of that can actually call himself an african american is Mr.Barack Obama because is father was African and his mother is American.majority of African American great great great grandparents were from african not them.Yea i know so what do we call them when it comes down to applications?well whoever came up with black is down right colorblind-the color is brown(there is a few exceptions where there is some who are pitch black)how about me-they say i am white-lmao i am not white-i am caucasian.but i can't go around saying i am irish american because my history goes far far back so they consider me just an american.why does some race get to use their heritage and others not? But while i write I keep trying to think of what they can called the African American instead of that.hmmmmm,black man,brown man(the problem with that is that can also mean asians,middle easterners as well)so I reckon we are back to where this begin at.african american i reckon is the only name we can think of or my solution is just learn their name and call them that-like president elect barack obama-we will call him mister or president obama and not by what his race is.the main reason for writing this is simple-first to grab your attention and secondly forget that they are african,asian or native american,get to know there name and that will get rid of all the rest of the confusion.

okay i am off my soapbox for the night.

first strike force

I am a member of an online clan F.S.F. aka first strike force-i have been with them since july-its one of the many clans available which involves online gaming like cod4,cod5,counter strike source,battlefield 2142,eve,farcry 2,wow,frontlines "ffow",to just name a few-it is really a great community-people are friendly and we are like a big family.we don't always agree about everything and we all don't play the same type of games.we have our ups and downs and there is someone who will be more than willing to help you whether it is a pc problem,a game problem or just problems in general.we have people from all walks of lives and from different countries involved.
I have enjoyed my time with them so far and looking to many more months and years with them.they have been around for many years not exactly how many but i know its been quite a few.we have people from age ranges of 7 years up to 60 years old.so you not to young or to old-if you love to game check us out-the link is on the side of my view blog page.I have met many people on there and still getting to know others.

racist or sexist?

I will admit i didn't vote for Obama/biden or McCain/palin-but i did vote.

I had problems voting for either one cause i kept hearing if u don't vote for my party your are racist or if you don't for my party your are a sexist.i am neither and i have never been one or another.I feel if the person is fit to do the job regardless of their sex,color or religion more power to them.it was hard to follow the election when both parties spend more time attacking the other party for one reason or another.I am sick and tired or the dirt they throw at one another.lets concentrate more on what they are going to do for the country and how they will try to improve the economy and fix what is wrong.instead all you see is ads saying what they are doing wrong.I DON'T CARE WHAT THEY DID 20 YEARS AGO OR EVEN 5 YEARS AGO.i want to know what are they going to be doing the next 4 years as our president.i want to know did they vote for Obama cause they didn't want a female vice president or they really believe he will provide a change for us as a country?I hope it was for the latter.when Mr. Obama won the democratic ticket i already knew he would win.
people are sick and tired of president bush and his policy and knowing Mr.McCain would follow in his footsteps,so Mr.Obama was the obvious choice.

but whoever you voted for i want ya'll to remember to pray for our new leader for his will have 4 years to clean up a mess that took 8 years to make-he has his hands full and it will take more than 1 term to clean it up.he has no easy task ahead of him-love him or hate him he is there for 4 years and as myself i will be praying for him-for he will need alot of strength for being the first black president everything he does or say will be under a microscope-and that is a shame-lets forget about his color and lets look at him as a man who is our president elect and he got there by our votes and he deserves to be there. like i said i did not vote for him but he has my support for the next 4 years as our president. and i will not be watching his every move-that is not my job to judge him or point out his mistakes-(that is God's job)he don't need my help or yours.just pray for him whether you like him or not.and that God will protect him from all the lunatics that should try to get rid of him-

MR.OBAMA I KNOW YOU WILL NEVER SEE THIS BLOG BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW I WILL PRAY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO KEEP YOU FROM HARM AND HELP YOU TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS.
REMEMBER WHEN THINGS ARE LOOKING DOWN LOOK UP AND YOU WILL FIND THE HELP YOU NEED IN OUR SAVIOUR.

senseless death of our babies

a man dropped 4 of his kids off the dauphin island bridge in Alabama into the gulf of Mexico-all 4 of his kids were found dead from the coast of Alabama all the way to Louisiana.

he did it after a fight with his wife. 

few days later another person did the same up north. every time we open the paper or turn on the news we hear about someone killing their young kids as well as their babies

.what is wrong with theses people?

some plea mentally insane and they get off with a light sentence or in state hospital somewhere.

there need to be something done about this and needs to be done quickly.it is only going to get worse and it needs to be stopped.

but the problem we are facing is how do we stop it?

how do we know what will cause a parent/parents to go off the deep end and dump their kids in the gulf or a river or anywhere for that matter.

can people around them not see theses signs or do they disguise it so well,

or do they just snap from a originally person to someone who had just lost their mind?

how can we prevent this from happening before it happens again and again?

what do we look for?

or how do we spot someone who is on the edge of going over board?

do theses people all of a sudden go from a nice loving person to a child killing maniac?

 how can we help theses kids if we don't know what to look for? 

maybe the authorities or doctors or someone can tell us what to look for.

what can we do on out part to help?

I guess one day they will figure out what cause someone to snap and how we can spot them before another child is lost.

what next?

after hearing about the fighting among kids and then posting it on you tube.not one on one but a group of kids ganging up against one.it has gotten out of hand and to think our future of this country is in their hands.where was the parents when this was happening?do they no longer care what their children do?of course at writing it has died down and everyone has gone on with their lives like it never happened.are we so numb that after a few days it is old news and no one really cares or have we just got use to the violents and thankful it was not one of us or our kids.its not going to die down in the case of the poor kids who gets ganged up against and the anger it caused the parents.this will keep up until someone say enough!!!!!
parents take responsibilty of your kids and put a stop to it and do it before more get beat up or injured or crippled or dead.this has to stop and it has to start in the home.don't let peer pressue put u as someone who don't want to do this and do it cause u afraid of not being accepted by your peers.stand up and stand out-it has to start with someone so why not you? isn't it time to say enough is enough?or do u care less what is it you next time.what would stop your so call friends to turn against you and do the same? its always not me its always the other person-who do u think the other person is? look in the mirror it could be you next and you will wonder why but it will be to late. before you have to attend a funeral of someone you love or care for or even a sister or a brother or cousin. or even YOU!!!!!!!!!

aftermath of tuesday elections

well obama took mississippi by storm.well is that a good thing or a bad thing.apparently to majority of the people here it is a good thing.rumors are they will join forces anyway(clinton and obama)so it will be them versus mccain.who will win i have no ideal-who do i like well in all honesty neither but apparently i will have to vote for one of them.none of them have impress me and i don't know about their policy to know weather or not they will be good or bad for the country and how much is actually lip service.its a shame we have to wait untill they are in office,to bad there isn't a period where we can say wait we change our minds and lets let the other person take over.but once they are in thats it for 4 years.i wish politicians would stop bickering and pointing out the other persons faults and concentrate instead what they are actually going to do for the america people.(besides having their hands in our pockets and taking our hard earn cash)i know there is always a price for having who we want in office.to bad we have to suffer for their mistakes. well enough of my bickering.
