Year of the dragon, year of luck.. Prediction 2012, will you be a lucky year? Born under wood element, this is my reading:

It’s good. Water can help Wood (tree) growing. That means Wood can become strong with the support of Water. Luckily, Dragon contains Earth and Wood, which can help Wood survive in water. Wood will become stronger. Dragon is Earth, which is related to money and wealth. Therefore something to do with money, finance or investment will also happen to you in 2012. If you have strong Wood, you will have more chances to increase your wealth.

we are here again. The first caucus kicks off another presidential election year, and the entertainment of watching republicans bring on the ugly.

even by method of elimination no candidate seems viable against obama. mitt corporations-are-people-too romney i predict the winner tonight. bachman has slipped in iowa, oh well atleast she forced an early palin sidestep. gingrinch they say could never beat obama but then there is always that chance, certainly a risk not worth taking. and ron paul wants to create utopia amidst a pessimistic society.

..the rest will suspend their campaigns by the a.m.

[Lemya el Sophia]

Such a bunch of pessimistic folks y’all are…seriously, goodbye bill of rights, hello unemployment and violence? Get a grip people, stop fighting, no breaking beer bottles, destroying parked vehicles… way to ring in the new year!! And why do some people need approval to walk away from the bar???? like, let’s take a facebook vote. Ha! I’d be damned.

So far the first few hours 2012 going well, still trying to get jon to dance with me, and havent hit the ground on all fours yet.

Thanks for all the nice well wishes, peace + love xoxo

[Lemya el Sophia]

Wishing everyone
Happiness
Joy
Prosperity
In the new year

A couple of friends with yeah you @manny ioannis visitng from chicago decided it’d be a fab idea to head upstate for a bike ride. Not one to turn down a friend we’re stuck in a cold cabin with one verizon cell listening to the illegal gunshots of mad deer hunters..and the only dispatcher in town is on vaca. Waiting for any kind-hearted individual to drive my car north so we dont miss dinner, get togethers and after parties.. one into the true meaning of the holiday spirit??

when congress has earned their 7% approval rating and your local reps won’t listen unless a corporate bribe is part of the conversation.. perhaps this will produce a response? awesome lifehacker article: how to properly contact your government reps

as the year comes to a close, and we’ve taken one too many trips to the wassail bowl :) let’s not forget those less fortunate.

these are tough times for many people especially women with children who have no other means of survival. this year we chose to help aid local women’s shelters, in hopes of being reminded that as much as we think we may be suffering, there’s always someone who has it worse.

Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal -martin luther king

Witnessing first-hand unjustified, aggressive attacks by uniformed government employees, and having friends attempting escape from regions in turmoil, it saddens me that the great majority of these protesters are under the age of thirty. College students sprayed in the face during sit-ins, beaten, having tear gas bombs thrown at them…what kind of future promise when the world’s youth are already discontent.
