Sancta Maria! turn thine eyes -
Upon the sinner's sacrifice,
Of fervent prayer and humble love,
From thy holy throne above.

At morn - at noon - at twilight dim -
Maria! thou hast heard my hymn!
In joy and wo - in good and ill -
Mother of God, be with her still!

When the Hours flew brightly by,
And not a cloud obscured the sky,
My soul, lest it should truant be,
Thy grace did guide to her and thee;

Now, when storms of Fate o'ercast
Darkly her Present and my Past,
Let her Future radiant shine
With sweet hopes of thee and her!

Nadie te recordara por tus pensamientos secretos. Pide al Senor la fuerza y sabiduria para expresarlos. Demuestra a tus amigos y seres queridos cuanto te importan.

Nobody will remember you for your secret thoughts. Ask the Lord for strength and wisdom to voice them. Show your family, friends, and loved ones just how much they mean to you.

today the votes are tallied and the president who is going to preside

Tue 11.02.2004 @ 3:03 pm

for the next 4 yrs is chosen... And everyone is soapboxing how important the "vote" is. Vote or Die is one of the slogans. Isn't it funny how alot of these young people will go and vote and have no idea what they are voting for. Straight party votes are detremental if this country truly wants to represent what the populous wants. Party stands have changed, often the values have moved to the other side more times than you have actually bothered to look them up. Uneducated voting is even worse than no vote at all. Think about that.

So vote, but don't do it because a celebrity tells you to, or because your a single woman who wants to be heard; or a man who doesn't want to be left out.

Vote. On issues you are familiar with, and don't straight party vote, unless ofcourse that party agrees with everything you want, which it they do, I will sprout wings tonight.

Hmm... interesting article over here

... Pheromones are chemical substances released through our sweat glands to cause a change in the reproductive behaviour of another person and can directly stimulate a man's sexual behaviour through olfactory sensors processing information. The pheromones are detected through the Vomeronasal Organ (VNO) in the nose. The VNO functions as the distinct sensory apparatus that detects pheromones for humans. The pheromones, through the VNO, stimulate the Hypothalamus in the centre of the brain, which is the centre of our emotions. The New APC gay pheromone sends a signal of attraction, sexual feelings and desire...

Scientia Sexualis

Mon 11.01.2004 @ 6:03 pm

... The society that emerged in the nineteenth century - bourgeois, capitalist, or industrial society, call it what you will-did not confront sex with a fundamental refusal of recognition. On the contrary, it put into operation an entire machinery for producing true discourses concerning it. Not only did it speak of sex and compel everyone to do so; it also set out to formulate the uniform truth of sex. As if it suspected sex of harboring a fundamental secret. As if it needed the production of truth. As if it was essential that sex be inscribed not only in an economy of pleasure but in an ordered system of knowledge. Thus sex gradually became an object system of knowledge, the general and disquieting meaning that pervades our conduct and our existence, in spite of ourselves; the point of weakness where evil portents reach through to us; the fragment of darkness that we each carry within us; a general signification, a universal secret, an omnipresent cause, a fear that never ends. And so, in this "question" of sex (in both senses; as interrogation and problematization, and as the need for confession and integration into a field of rationality), two processes emerge, the one always conditioning the other; we demand that sex speak the truth (but, since it is the secret and is oblivious to its own nature, we reserve for ourselves the function of telling the truth of its truth, revealed and deciphered at last), and we demand that it tell us our truth, or rather, the deeply buried truth of that truth about ourselves which we think we possess in our immediate consciousness.
