Rhiannon

i never knew this song had such a beautiful backstory!



Rhiannon is the story of a lady that is from another world ~ called the Bright world ~ and she leaves her kingdom to become the wife of a king ~ a mortal king ~ but goddesses really can't marry mortal kings, if they do they lose their powers ~ their magic powers. And they don't lose the knowledge of them they just ~they know everything that's going to happen they just can'tdo anything about it. Which is a much more difficult way to live than not having magic powers is to not be able to use them and know exactly what's coming and to not be able to tell anybody. So she comes down and does her whole trip, and it's just a whole story ~ it's a wonderful story.

And she has these birds that sing and that is the legend of the song of the birds of Rhiannon. And they sing this song that is uh, said takes away pain and suffering and if you hear the song you just sort of blank out and go away and then when you wake up everthing's all right. And it is a wonderful, wonderful story which I use a lot, because there's a lot of ~ there seems to be a lot of need for the story of Rhiannon around lately, because if people are sad or have lost anybody or something the story really makes a lot of sense.

business

growing up, my mom was never home as much cuz she was always working. i still dont see her much cuz she still is busting her ass working 2 jobs. i found out today her manager, who is probably younger than me, is making more than she is. all they do is greet people while my mom slaves away in the back of the store. how is this fair? is it about what you love doing that makes if fair?

determination

thank you for all those who listened to my rant the past few weeks. i have come to terms that this school isn't so bad for what it has to offer. it all revolves around the individual and how hard he/she wants to push. i witnessed this at capstones last week and i am inspired to be determined.

a place where only the things you want to happen, would happen.


maybe this is why i am so apathetic about everything. i daydream and when things don't happen the way i wanted them to, i become disappointed. and then i become a nihilist. cuz there just seems to be no point in looking for things to happen if nothing will happen.

i need to stop thinking that things are pointless.
