Perhaps it was the rain and the winding road that nudged my psyche to wander into that other realm. Or was it the motion picture The Fountain that I’d seen the evening before—a surrealistic journey of the mind and the soul through crisis and toward enlightenment, true love and “ever-lasting life”?

Here’s the scoop:http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com/2009/01/or-whats-heaven-for-writers-contracts.html

We truly are one! http://shinade.blogspot.com/2009/01/change-has-come-dream-realized-america.html What a glorious time in our history. Also for those of you that don't know....I truly did live the first 6 months of my life, in my mother's womb, in a tent, beside a river. Come hear the song and feel the music!! Thank you God for giving all of us who fought this fight the strength to overcome! It's a glorious and happy time America. God bless to all...I love my country...the land of the free and the home of the brave!

A few days ago, on the Winter Solstice, a dump of snow covered the Earth in white billows. Huge flakes drifted down from heaven like confetti in a breeze. Merry Christmas! That saying has come to mean a lot more ... http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com/2008/12/white-christmas.html

I have a question for the community-mind: of a sudden, lately I've had my adobe flash player choke on some movie script (apparently from my NeoWOrks, which has been there for a while) on my site, http://sfgirl-thealiennextdoor.blogspot.com. Any thoughts on what might have caused the choke? Could it have been a virus? A mutation? An alien invasion? Any thoughts you might have would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hello everyone, I hope everybody here in America had a fabulous Thanksgiving. Now with that said I would like to leave this message for all to read. I am getting really tired of receiving messages that are prejudice and very negative in their content. If you can't say something nice about someone then please just don't say anything at all. Name calling is for children and not for us adults. I will continue to delete all negative messages as they are posted. And, will also remove myself from any and all communities that consistently post negative messages. Thanks very much for understanding! i hope everyone has a great weekend!
