Galileo's head was on the block the crime was looking up the truth as the bombshells of my daily fears explode i try to trace them to my youth then you had to bring up reincarnation over a couple of beers the other night now i'm serving time for mistakes made by another in another lifetime how long till my soul gets it right can any human being ever reach that kind of light i call on the resting soul of galileo king of night vision king of insight i think about my fear of motion which i never could explain some other fool across the ocean years ago must have crashed his little airplane how long till my soul gets it right can any human being ever reach that kind of light i call on the resting soul of galileo king of night vision king of insight i'm not making a joke you know me i take everything so seriously if we wait for the time till all souls get it right then at least i know there'll be no nuclear annihilation in my lifetime I'm still not right i offer thanks to those before me that's all i've got to say maybe you squandered big bucks in your lifetime now I've got to pay but then again it feels like some sort of inspiration to let the next life off the hook or she'll say look what i had to overcome from my last life i think i'll write a book how long till my soul gets it right can any human being ever reach that kind of light i call on the resting sould of galileo king of night vision king of insight how long, how long, how long

missing element

i love this song, and the women who sing it.  it's funny, smart and very inspirational.  but it's missing something named in it's title

isn't it funny how so many seem to hate men, blaming them for all the wrong in their lives

making other women as their wives

i don't get that

i think there needs to be ballance

in all things we do

otherwise we will all fail

we will all fall

we will all lose

(everything)

betrayal is an act that hurts deep in our core

is it enough for a person to forever choose sides?

is this mind over matter?

are we programed to think this way?

do as we're told, or follow as we're shown?

or grow as we have naturally become, without any care

at all?

Happy memories

I have happy memories of this some, cruising through the US with this music on.

Personal Lives

Both Ray and Saliers of the Indigo Girls have long identified themselves as lesbians, although Saliers prefers gay because, she says, "lesbian has three syllables!"[2] They have never been a couple. Ray has had long-term relationships with musician Cooper Seay and feminist author Jennifer Baumgardner, and is currently in a relationship with documentary filmmaker Carrie Schrader. Because of their engagements for LGBT rights, they are regarded as icons of the movement.
 
Political activism

The Indigo Girls have been active politically and musically. Among others, they have championed the causes of the environment, gay rights, the rights of Native Americans and the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. They helped establish Honor the Earth, an organization dedicated to creating support and education for Native environmental issues. Amy and Emily have also appeared at the annual SOA Watch rallies, the March for Women's Lives, and several other rallies and protests.

In 2006, the Indigo Girls were featured in artist P!nk's album, I'm Not Dead in the song, "Dear Mr. President", which has been regarded as a political statement to George W. Bush about poverty, LGBT rights, abortion rights, and the No Child Left Behind Act.

During June 2007, the Indigo Girls were a part of the multi-artist True Colors Tour 2007,[3], on the tour's Las Vegas stop, which benefitted the Human Rights Campaign and other organizations that provide support to the GLBT community.

a woman's world perspective

I can appreciate the essence of a man leading off the song's theme, then leaving in sense of significance and importance in a woman's life.  After all, men can be replaced by most things.
 
Based on how they act, historically speaking, men like to drop a load, and move on to the next piece of ass, anyway, so what's a group of women to do?
 
Make the best of any given situation, especially if children are present.
 
It's really f'ed up, isn't it?
Where's the bartender?  anyone seen him around?

all things being equal

it takes two to create a child
a line needs to be drawn
what is right
what is best
who will work
as the other rests

we've got nerve

I've focusing a lot on myself lately, and facinated with the results.
 
I think men are secretly jealous that they can't do or have what women can do and have.
 
IFwe choose to do or have them.
 
Orgasms and babies.
 
Multiples of them, too.
 
Is that our fault we were built that way?
 
Is it OUR fault God created man first, decided that wasn't good enough, so he created woman next, and made her slightly better - inside?
 
From what I'm told, men seem to think women taste good.  I have heard some compare the taste of a woman's insides to anchovies.
Sea food.  Such a comparison can make me barf, especially if I have a raging yeast infection or a case of the crabs given to me by a freak guy at a bar I don't know, (hey, it can happen, if I'm not careful.)  Pizza, beer and crabs.  Great first date, eh?
 
I remember a little poem my dad used to tell me when I was little:  What are little girls made of?  Sugar and spice, and everything nice.  What are little boys made of?  Snips and snails and puppy dog tails.
 
I don't make the rules, I just repeat them.
 
Speaking internal surface-area, a female has more nerve-space and room to play, so it only makes sense with more pleasure, there will come more pain.  With sex, comes pregnancy, thus childbirth.  The natural consequence.  It all makes perfect sense.
 
If a girl doesn't want to lose her baby, don't have sex with a man.
 
Does that mean she can't play the field?
 
HELL NO!
 
A woman has far much more to gain than stupid limited men!!!  IF she's smart about her own body, and not afraid to learn about herself, and ask questions.
 
Ha
Ha
HAAAAA!

Anatomically speaking...

In utero, the clitoris and penis are seen as one until sex determination can be made, usually by sonogram.  (I remember going for my AFP blood tests and ultra-sound visits around my 14th weeks of each pregnancy of mine, and being eager to learn the genders of my babies.  Boy was I happy when I learned the twins were boy/girl!!!  Yay me for my older two!!  Boo for me having a two-for-one special when I was already overwhelmed with being out-numbered!)
 
Now, it's suggested the G-spot is much like the man's prostate... and the anus is known to have nerve endings that are associated with orgasm, as well.
 
This can easily lead one to believe a woman is far more capable of deeper, better more plentiful orgasms than a man.  Even on a "bad" day.
 
Imagine that!
 
Yeeeeeeooooowza!
 
So why is the manufacturing industry more interested in making porn and pills for men, and not helping women discover this information about themselves?
 
HMMMMM?????

natural order of un-natural order

Why do you think women love gay-guys?

Usually it's because they are so neat and clean looking.

I'm just waiting to find myself an ideal metro-sexual he-man to sweep me off my feet.

Until then, I've got my pack-and play and bartender to keep me busy and out of trouble!

And IF I ever decide to marry, I think I'd like to find my original B.C., just to make sure what my real birthname was.

If in fact my name was changed, I would have a name-changing-ceremony to mark that day with my new life-partner.  Instead of taking his name, I would take my original birth name, as God originally intended it to be.

That day would be a private affair, having only those nearest and dearest to us celebrating our new found family closure.
