Just ran across this quote again from a Poe story. Damn I love Poe. "We stand upon the brink of a precipice. We peer into the abyss - we grow sick and dizzy. Our first impulse is the shrink away from the danger. Unaccountably we remain... it is but a thought, although a fearful one, and one which chills the very marrow of our bones with the fierceness of the delight of its horror. It is merely the idea of what would be our sensations during the sweeping precipitancy of a fall from such a height... for this very cause do we now the most vividly desire it."

With all of the thoughts and feelings that complicate matters, sometimes you just need to get away from it all. If that's the case; come with me, to my tiny little world of poetic bliss. Let's feel what's in our soul and discover what it takes to move our very being. There are many different types of poetry, but I like to rime.

Beauty Sleep. We all know how important it is to be well rested. Perhaps the person who got more than enough of sleep is the very well-known fairy tale Princess, Sleeping Beauty. I think She slept for a hundred years. Wow. But did you ever wonder what happened when she woke up? Of course, family re-union came first, and then the introduction of her hero, the Prince to everyone.

Like many of his nationalist contemporaries, the Irish separatist P. S. O'Hegarty (1879-1952) viewed Ulster Unionist resistance to assimilation into a united self-governing Irish nation as the outcome of British policy and politicking in Ireland. In constructing an ethnic and political tie with the Protestant population of north-east Ulster from the 1801 Act of Union, subsequent British governments cultivated a 'false consciousness' among Ulster Unionists to further their political and economic self-interests. This article examines the deficiencies in O'Hegarty's arguments against partition but its main purpose is to highlight that, contrary to his conventional image as a doctrinal nationalist, O'Hegarty's 'Irishness' consisted of a liberal and civic concept of citizenship. It concludes that O'Hegarty's view of nationalism was pluralistic, inclusive and ahead of its time during a period when ethnicity was perceived as a non-negotiable determinant of national identity.

I might go off on a tangent or just see how far I can take an idea. Either way, it should be interesting because it's pure imagination. Part of being a complex individual is not being understood all the time. Heck, if I wanted to understand everything that I ever write; then I probably wouldn't write anything; and that would be a shame and a travesty.

When you think about love, passion, and romance; you know that these words go good together. More than that, they each have a special meaning. Love can be as simple as caring about one another and doing kind things for each other. Passion is something that you feel with the whole fiber of your being at the very core of who you are. Passion is something that comes from the heart and means the world. Romance is something that is best expressed through actions; doing something special for your significant other. When you put all three of these things together; you have Magical Electricity. You have a spark that can be seen by all and this creates an overpowering force that changes the world; making it a better place for everyone.

Put some love in your heart. When you really love someone, don't be afraid to let them know. When you look for creative ways to say I love you, you know that it comes from the heart. Say, I Love You; as much as possible. But, before I go on and on about love; I have to ask the question...
