An Indian friend asked me to write a poem some time back think it might go goo here:A single feather upon her brow, this squaw was not a scout. Standing stout, her proud was as loud as a totem in a whirlwind of confusion and doubt. Banshee screamed she, revenge was not the deed in need. Powwow was the deem she meant to be instill in the young Indian steeds. Sitting on a bull headdress all about, the chief had no doubt this squaw was devout with her banshee squelch. Pull together like a papoose held tight to a young squaws breast. The wrong in all of man's laws, will cause us no flaws. The land we will be free to bury the tomahawk deep with in the sea of despise and remiss in history's misdeed

Well it happened.

azzow2 comments on Jan 13, 2018:

I am open, I live in a small town and I do not gab about it if someone ask what is your religion I have no problem saying that I am agnostic. I have always dislike those people that go around and try to convert you to worship their demigod. Or join their faith. First thing that come in my mind when those people come around is what can I say to get them to leave quickly.

Fake News and Russian Propaganda. Have any members read or watched RT or Sputnik?

azzow2 comments on Jan 13, 2018:

They keep trying. Trying to remember the rumor that was flying around back in the 1980's. The strategic tactical defence system. That was when The USSR still existed. They would talk about the lines of people waiting to get a loaf a bread just wonder was there any truth in that propaganda or was it a ploy to get the world to feel sorrow for them to send funds. Was it Clinton that gave them something like a billion dollars of our tax money?

The alie disrobed and started to get into it with he human female he was very tinny in the genital area she said what am I going to do with that he said pull my ear and it will get longer. So it got longer but was as thin as a pencil, she said this is still inadequate the alien male said hit me upside the head and it will become thick. So the human female had awesome sex for hours. The next day at breakfast the human wife said to her how was you night. The humane male said terrible she kept pulling my ear and hitting me upside the head all night.

azzow2 comments on Jan 12, 2018:

No! people in the media neglect to say how many people were saved in a day because shopkeepers are allowed to own guns.

I have wondered why a vaccination for it has not been developed by now? The pharmaceutical companies make too much money cramming the poison down people's throats is the best conclusion I could come up with.

The use of marijuana

azzow2 comments on Jan 12, 2018:

The downfall of cannabis is that it burns 100 times hotter than ciregets. In males smoking it too much can result in breast. There is theories it reduces the size of the thalamus part of your brain. It stays in your muscles for up to 30 days and can be released with exercises at a time you do not wish to be intubated. The up sides is that it help chronic pain and relieve glaucoma as we all know it helps artist be more creative. It seems to give me a headache I may have indulged a time or 2 in my youth. I hope it is legalized. I have a ton of new age pharmaceutical not worth much now bought it at like .10 cents a share That could change fast.

There could be several reasons. Say that your house is built relatively recent within the last 30 years if is constructed with particle board this could be changing in size because the fermelhide is vaporizing out causing it to pop and crack. Perhaps the fermelhide is in your air causing you to have a ergot like experience. The heater in your house can also make the wood contort making noise. Then again a rodent or bat found a way in and is nesting in you eaves and joices.

azzow2 comments on Jan 12, 2018:

The disposition of a mythical creature like Santa give kids hope not that. I agree with hope it is one of the darkest feeling when hope fails a type of remorse comes in and make you feel spite. That being said giving children a goal like waiting for Santa to bring christmas gifts is positive. Setting goals and achieving that goal is rewarding.
