Wordless Wednesday #69 - Heck, Speechless

"Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."

One Man Came In The Name Of Love

Please check out Sparky Duck's Poetry Train today as he is featuring the "I have been to the mountaintop" speech. This was the last speech Martin gave.

We received the following email on Dr. King from our CEO here at work and I thought what he wrote was very well put and wanted to share a part of it that caught my attention.

"... like many of you, I find it very hard to find inspiration from our public leaders today. It seems that the caliber of our leaders and their intentions are not what I remember growing up in the sixties and seventies. But much of that hopelessness is admittedly a product of my own shortcomings and frailties. Dr. King often said that the arc of the universe bends toward justice - and it does, but not by itself. It bends toward justice because of caring people like all of you, who collectively seek to make the world a better place. Martin Luther King gave up his life for this cause. What I learned from his words was to believe in the righteousness of human beings and to have faith."

Well said and something to keep in mind.

Remember MLK

Sleep Sleep Tonight And May Your Dreams Be Realized

A late night post from the non at home computer owner. Spooky. This is of course coming courtesy of H's computer as I am spending the night. Had a lovely dinner and hung out as usual talking the night away. Helped her set up a blog of her own. Now we just need to spend some time customizing it. That will be another day. The plan is to get up early and go have breakfast at a little Russian cafe in Camas before I head off to work.

Tell you what is odd. The flashback sensation of sitting in the glow of a monitor in a dark room. Considering the hours I spent on Everquest I suppose a flashback or two is normal. I actually miss EQ. I had a blast on that game the first year or so. Well playing Sorchia and especially Starrlight. I have to be honest, that toon was by far the most fun to play. Until later 50+ levels when they nerfed my fucking mezz. Sony. Meh. Damn idiot ex BF. Meh x2.

But yes, the glow of the computer is causing me that weird deja vu sensation. Bet I have fucked up dreams of Fippy Darkpaw and his daily death. Hrmm...much like Starr's daily death. You'd think the poor fucker was an enchanter!
