efunk23's blog: "Ranting and Raving"

Life is but this simple dream, where we wake and take those things we forsake, discard them as rubbish to the wind, pretend it matters not, when our thought is never about it's effects we reflect on our own existence our persistence is our resistance to a world that we cannot grasp. Take time to reinforce our own beliefs console only facts that support our narrow view, and then call all afterwards true. Funny how it's a lame attempt at selling our souls to false goals to receive dung as we serve up crap, but call it a sweet treat. Take responsibility for nothing as nothing is our fault. We see what we want to see and when we open our eyes and see it for what it is, we hate what we see. Instead of taking fault in our own lackings we place blame unto others. Then we fail our own soul, for we learn nothing.---

Death comes to call to me, it says to me "it just takes time." 

Time comes to call to, me it says to me "it's in my mind." 

Mind comes to call to me, it says to me "why fight a fate." 

Fate comes to call to me, it says to me "it's just too late."

Impress me with your mind, not the looks though so refined. Your gentle to my eyes, but under skin is where true beauty lies. Not the lipstick… but, altruistic. Words places color into lips, brain to beauty it then eclipse. When words you say are thoughts alight, embrace the grace and hopes take flight. I am hinged to your self reflection without direction from my eyes perception. A simple view of poise can filter out the noise. So you wonder why I care so much, because love is of your soul not touch.

Dictonary Definitions:

Loyal is defined as: Faithful to a person, ideal, custom, cause, or duty.

Friend is defined as: A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.

Word Origin:

To know the history of the modern word for friend in english, we have to go back a millennium before we see the verb related to friend. At that time, frond, the Old English word for "friend," was simply the present participle of the verb fron, "to love."

My opinion:

A loyal friend is the one that stayed by your side for no other reason, but to love you as a person.

Quotes:

"Friendship should be surrounded with ceremonies and respects, and not crushed into corners. Friendship requires more time than poor busy men can usually command." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Friendship is never established as an understood relation.... It is a miracle which requires constant proofs. It is an exercise of the purest imagination and the rarest faith." - Henry David Thoreau

"In true friendship, in which I am expert, I give myself to my friend more than I draw him to me. I not only like doing him good better than having him do me good, but also would rather have him do good to himself than to me; he does me most good when he does himself good." - Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592), French essayist

"No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return." - Plato

"A friend is the one that bails you out of jail, a best friend is in jail sitting beside you." - Unknown

In Closing:

This is dedicated to everyone that has been a real friend to me. This is also dedicated to those that aren't my friends but say they are, or think they are. Since they don't know what a friend is I think they should know, but they probably can't understand the true meaning even after reading this. Please comment and pass this along to your friends.

We must learn to listen, to listen to learn. Without knowledge you'll never earn - a paycheck worth more than that paper it's printed on. Think this is the same dance and song, right or wrong, we all long to spend money like it's water, then comes a long a son or daughter, why bother - save for an ill behaved most depraved kid... Screaming at you like you work for them. Raised with sin, by a society that praises sin. Without a foundation, this nation lies in demise, children cries as daddy goes to Iraq, on some facts that divide a country, but countrymen that lay in contempt lie as wimps praising those that go to war secretly telling thier kids war will get you killed, strong willed doesn’t translate to survival, it’s the deprival of the fittest, of a fair society that fails us all, not divided by race, but class, as the top class has no class. Cheaters, liars, and the like, but juries can’t convict a true convict, but “pro bono” is the “oh no” lawyer that gets you off by making you confess to a crime that you didn’t commit, and we say legality is legit. The gimmick is the fairness, seen by a double sided coin, two faced with no tail, and we all hail the thief of sanity, when we are captured in a world of vanity. Tall dark and handsome, but carving abs and face to find a place in our hearts and minds, when the first bloated waistline shows, the love goes. Reality shows without reality, game shows without games, Music Television without the music, an internet that broke the tether, when it was suppose to bring us together. Obsessed by cell phones and depressed that they spend time with people, it cuts in to their time texting. Blown minds like my blown lines. Oversexed and under aged, misled sled down a hill of regret because tomorrow doesn’t come soon enough, then when life is rough they blame others not their selves, we all failed to learn the brail, blind leading blind, with our closed minds. Falling off the cliff like lemming, embrace celebrities like a god and praying to our God to be them, there in lies our sin. We place value on things valueless, won’t pay the price on the priceless, we are taught morals by the moral-less. We wage war, then war at home about the war abroad. We stand up to everything but “stand” for nothing. We never learned a damn thing. So, we must learn to listen, to listen to learn. Written by- E/J (Jr)
