politics

I'm an INFP liberal conservative. What does that mean, really? I make decisions based on intuition and my personal convictions. I have right wing values but believe in people's right to privacy. I hate how rampantly pharmaceutical drugs are dispensed but that a most naturally therapeutic green plant is both illegal and criminalized. I dislike politics and hate how people feel the need to take sides. I choose NOT to vote if I do NOT agree with either candidate's values, and hate when people who are uninformed are encouraged to vote for the simple sake of taking a side. I'm proud to be an American but I do not believe in war as a first resort. Also, I believe that we are not hated because we are free - we are hated because of our greed and inappreciation of our freedom.

religion

My life is guided by Christian faith. I am open to sharing my beliefs with others but do not have a "preachy" nor judgemental approach. Rather, I believe in demonstrating my values by the way I conduct myself in social situations. I truly believe in grace. I make poor choices at times. We're human, and nothing more is expected of us than to acknowledge our good conscience and the rest will follow. That is what I believe.

Cause It's a Bittersweet Symphony, This Life...

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony

The absolute best musical genre of the mid-late 90's was Alternative. I loved this song when I was 10, I love it now, even moreso that I actually understand the lyrics.

Third Eye Blind's Semi-Charmed Life has the same effect; loved it then, even more brilliant now that I understand and have lived the words. How I even sang these words at age 10 I don't know, but this song carried me away, perhaps as a prelude of what would come of my later youth.

The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it to my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there...

And then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again...

The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows...

We tripped
On the urge to feel alive.

She's got her jaws now locked down in a smile
But nothing is all right
All right...

So innocent I was when I first sang those words, so lost I was while living those words years later, and so free I feel looking back, reflecting on times passed that I've survived and have lived to tell about them.

Music makes me most nostalgic.

I still remember the video's to both of these songs. I'd watched them everytime they came on. I also liked Sugar Ray..I think they had songs out when those two songs were out.
