My aunt (my father's sister) and uncle live in Iberia Parrish,in a little ramshackle house out in the boonies.I used to visit them when I was a kid.They're in their 80s now,and I can't contact any of my relatives in Loreauville or Jeanerette to see if they are allright.
I keep checking the Daily Iberian newspaper online,and it looks like Iberia Parrish made out okay.I hope so.
I love those two crazy old folks.

I just heard a radio report on K-LOVE (Online) that legendary rock and roll performer Fats Domino and his family are missing.
The singer and his family refused evacuation orders and told authorities that they were going to ride out the storm (hurricane Katrina).
The singers home is now under water.

Leonard Part-6.
Not a terribly good film,but Bill Cosby is the star.That's generally good enough for me.

Being sick.
Headache,red,puffy eyes,bleh....
But,I found some antibiotics I was prescribed a few months back.I'm going to take those and go back to bed.

The Rocky Mount North Carolina Police Department has canceled the Amber Alert on Tuesday August 30, 2005 after the girl was found safe in Demoin, Iowa at a Greyhound bus station. The suspect is still at large at this time.
I'm glad they found this little girl alive.
Now,they need to catch this pervert and throw him in jail....for a long time.

Hey!I forgot about Tron.....
A Tron remake would be sweet.
How about "The Black Hole". I saw that when I was about 8 or 9-years old (I think).I loved that film.The big red robot was scary.I had nightmares about it for weeks.The little droid,Vincent was as cool as R2D2 (to me,anyway).

LeVar,if he did say those things,is just voicing an opinion that I,and many other Trek fans have had felt for quite some while.
To be truthful,I was starting to get a little Trek burnout toward the end of Voyager's 6th season.By the series final,I was in full blown Trek-overdose.I stopped watching reruns,reading the novels,or doing anything Trek for months.
And when Enterprise debuted,I hesitated before watching it (missed the entire first season).
If there's any truth to the saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder,then the next Trek series (if there is one) should be awesome,IF Paramount waits a decade or so.In the meantime,there are some awesome Trek novels and fanfic being written.

It was The Irish Rovers.It was called The Unicorn song.
It was about noah collecting aminals for the ark and why there are no
unicorns today they were to busy playing in the rain.
(green alligators and long neck geese some humpty back camels
and some chimpanzes some cats and rats and elephants
but sure as your born your never going to see a unicorn)
The chours to the song. why i still remember this?
I love that song!
I haven't heard it in years.

This is a very old one.
"Beulah Land"
I’ve reached the land of corn and wine,
And all its riches freely mine;
Here shines undimmed one blissful day,
For all my night has passed away.
Refrain:
O Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land,
As on thy highest mount I stand,
I look away across the sea,
Where mansions are prepared for me,
And view the shining glory shore,
My heav’n, my home forevermore!
My Savior comes and walks with me,
And sweet communion here have we;
He gently leads me by His hand,
For this is Heaven’s borderland.
A sweet perfume upon the breeze,
Is borne from ever vernal trees,
And flow’rs that never fading grow
Where streams of life forever flow.
The zephyrs seem to float to me,
Sweet sounds of Heaven’s melody,
As angels with the white-robed throng
Join in the sweet redemption song.

Brock was one of my favorite actors.
We've all lost not just another Star Trek actor,but a wonderful human being.

Alright, enough of this religious guff.Time for something pure evil. :devil2:
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget my son
To include every one
I tucked you in
Warm within
Keep u free from sin
Until the sand man he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Grippin' your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never neverland
Something’s wrong
Shut the light
Heavy thoughts nights
And they aren't so white
dreams of war, dreams of lairs
dreams of dragon's fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Grippin' your pillow tight
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never neverland
Now I lay me down to sleep
(Now I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the lord my soul to keep
(Pray the lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake
(If I die before I wake)
Pray the lord my soul to take
(Pray the lord my soul to take)
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed,
In your closet, in your head
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
Off to never neverland
I like Metallica.
Not as much since they sued Napster...
Motorhead's version of this song is better,though.
Lemmy rules!
Okay,

"The Way I was Made"
Caught in the half-light, I’m caught alone
Waking up to the sunrise, and the radio
Feels like I’m tied up, what’s holding me?
Juts praying today will be the day I go Free.
Chorus:
I want to live like there’s no tomorrow
I want to dance like no one’s around.
I want to sing like no one’s listening.
Before I lay my body down
I want to give like I have plenty.
I want to love like I’m not afraid.
I want to be the man I was meant to be.
I want to be the way I was made.
Made in Your likeness, made in Your hands.
Made to discover who You are and who I am
All I’ve forgotten help me to find.
All that You’ve promised let it be in my life.

"This Fragile Breath"
I searched the world for a song that I could sing
Praise to my King, A gift that I could bring
But no music I found could compare to You
Not one could do Justice to Your glory
What are my songs compared to Yours
Chorus:
You speak with thunder and lightening
Your voice shakes the mountains
The foundations of the earth
All I can offer is this fragile breath
With each one I'll praise You
With each one I'll praise You more
I searched the world for a poem I could read
A rhyme that would bring Glory to my King
But no writing I found was worthy of
This God high above all other gods
What are my words compared to Yours
Chorus

Steel Magnolias.....
:blush 2:
(that was what I was thinking about)

Storms like this are one reason I'm glad I'm moving to California next month.
I was watching the news yesterday,and everyone was saying that New Orleans had escaped the dire predictions everyone had for the Crescent City,and then when I went online this morning I saw all those broken levy's and....boy oh,boy.Its a mess.
I've heard (at CNN.com) that two-thirds or more of New Orleans won't be habitable for weeks.
And natural disaster aside,the "usual gang of idiots" (looters) are taking advatage to break into stores and shops and steal as much as they can carry.The fools were actually dancing and pulling faces for the news camera's as they were kicking in doors and carrying stolen goods.

"The Man With The Screaming Brain" is coming on Sci-fi September 10 at 9pm! It's written, directed and stars Bruce Campbell. Fans of his know that he has been working on this movie for a long time so it's good that it's finally coming
(Gamera)
I've heard Bruce Campbell proposed a multi-studio blockbuster film.
"Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash"
In which his Evil Dead/Army of Darkness character Ash,would go Chainsaw-hand to knife-tipped glove to machette swinging fist against Jason Vorhees and Fred Krueger,in a sequal to Freddy Vs. Jason.
He was turned down.Too bad.
I would have liked to see Ash kick their butts.

It would be great if the scientific community approached OBE's with open-minds.
Unfortunately,most research is conducted by people who have already decided in their own opinion,the causes of OBE's.And no matter what data they collect,they seldom change their minds.
Maybe this study is different?
-
I really don't care for either of them....
I picked Julia Roberts.
Fried Green Tomatoes,and other films show me she has tons more acting cred than Bullock.
-
As far as "child" crewmen aboard ships goes,Lefler was the best.
Better than The Great and Powerful Wesley,anyway.
Her character is in the Excalibur books,right?
(Didn't Peter David just collect all of Enterprise-D's second stringers and form a crew out of them?
Not that that's a bad thing.....not very original,but not bad.)
-
The Wiz.
I like this version better than The Wizard of Oz,actually.
This time they need a MUCH younger Dorothy,than Diana Ross was (back in '78).
Also,a different scarecrow.I don't know if Michael Jackson can draw in as big a crowd anymore.
I'd love to have Nipsy Russell as Tin man again,but he's gotten kind of old.
They'd need to replace Richard Pryor as the Wizard,too....that'd be hard.

I'LL FLY AWAY
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
This was my mom's favorite gospel song (mine,too).

The Sci-fi channel has also shown those horrible Flintstones movies...
What was up with that?
I actually prefer the way Sci-Fi channel used to be when it first debuted on cable.
They used to show some awesome movies.Now we get a steady diet of "B" movie-of-the-week (actually considering some of the films I've watched on Sci-Fi,I think I just insulted B movies).
Could be considered Sci-Fi,what with his utility belt and crime-fighting gadgets,IMO. -
DRUG PROBLEM
(author unknown)
I had a "drug" problem when I was a young person
and teenager.
I was "drug" to church on Sunday morning.
I was "drug" to church on Sunday night.
I was "drug" to church on Wednesday night.
I was "drug" to Sunday School every week.
I was "drug" to Vacation Bible School.
I was "drug" to the family altar to read the bible and pray.
I was also "drug" to the woodshed when I disobeyed
my parents.
Those "drugs" are still in my veins; and they affect my
behavior in every thing I do, say, and think. They are
stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin. and if our
children had this kind of "drug" problem,
America would certainly be a better place.
(I found this while browsing random Christian websites earlier tonight.I liked it and decided to share.)

Goofing around with my PC's paint program and creating some desktop backgrounds.
Mentally preparing a shoping list for tomorrow's trip to the store.
Listening to Tarzan 2 (the kids are watching it in the living room).
Wishing I'd bought extra chinese food at lunch today....I skipped dinner,and now I'm hungry again (but not for anything I have in the fridge...I want more Chinese Chicken Salad).

"I Smile"
Lost and all alone
Looking for a reason for being
In this crazy world
Trying to go on
Looking for the answers
To the questions
And there You were
From the moment You appeared
Everything became so clear
I'm so glad that You're here, Lord
I smile when I think about
The way You've turned my life around
I smile when I think about
The happiness in You I've found
I'm so amazed at what Your love has done
And when I think the best is yet to come
I smile!
I smile!
Wandering the dark
Lost in the confusion
I thought I was losing my mind for sure
I searched with all my heart
Looking for direction
Something to believe in
And there You were
And You were reachign down to me
You were everything I needed
I'm so glad You found me, Lord
'Cause You've turned all my gray skies
To the brightest blue, yes, You did
And my life feels like sunshine
And it's because of You
All because of You.. I smile

WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilage to carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Ev'rything to God in prayer!
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer:
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus Knows our every weakness,
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer:
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee;
Thou wilt find a solace there.
