I really like blogging. The only thing I have a hard time with is narrowing down WHAT I want to blog. The other day I had soooooooo many thoughts running through my head. They were fiercely competing with each other and in the end I didn't blog at all. I do remember the one in the lead was music and how much emotion it invokes in a person. I've recently downloaded kazagold where I can get a lifetime of all the free downloads on just about anything I want so I can burn CDs. Uh oh!! A monster was created for sure.
I spent several hours Sunday downloading and listening to Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Pure Praire League, America, Bob Seger, Country Joe McDonald, Waylin & Willie.........all the tunes I've missed hearing because my album collection of 500 has been in storage for too many years to remember. It was very good for my soul to be with old friends too long parted. When one of Bob Dylan's songs was playing rather LOUDLY, my son came in and listened to a few of the lyrics and stated: "Wow Mom, your music was radical in the old days"!! ROFLOL!!! Uh yup son, back a piece we sure did know a thing or two!! The song was also a great one for dancing and before I knew it we were boogying in my quilt room with good old Bob!!
Visit www.kazagold.com if there's a music monster in you waiting to be released. 2-15-09 Update: Do not sign up with kazaagold, kazagold, or any that sound familiar. It worked for a short while and then things just got totally messed up. My computer tech recommended using limewire, either the free one, or the least expensive option to download.

Goodbye David
My son came home from school yesterday looking like he'd just lost his best friend. He did lose one of them; his deaf friend David. He told me that they'd caught David smoking pot and the police took him away in handcuffs from school. Now Ryan had told me that David smoked cigarettes and that he and the rest of the guys were trying to tell David that just wasn't cool, but Ry had no idea he also smoked pot.
He came home today and the news was even worse than we thought and David is still in juvy. They searched his locker and found a bag of pot, but that wasn't the worst thing. They also found a letter that he'd written that was in his binder saying how he was gonna kill his parents. His current foster parents are the High School Coach and his wife. I guess David has tendencies towards violence and he's been in this kind of trouble before. Now we're told that David has to go back to his foster parents in Wyoming and we'll never see him again. I was just stupified and I got all choked up.
He was always such a sweet and funny kid when he was here. It just breaks my heart to see such a young life go down the drain, and the reason I think it will is because if he's going back to the foster home in Wyoming, why did they let him come here in the first place........because they couldn't handle him? Is he getting the obvious mental help he needs? I'm full of questions yet I have no answers. For some reason this one just really rocked me. Whenever I close my eyes I see David's beautiful eyes and face full of laughter and teasing me in sign. I feel so helpless to do anything earthly for him......so I pray. Goodbye David, may God be with you. We'll never forget you.
