Damn near two years. My, have things changed. Such is this, the adventure of life. Short falls and the Conquering hero. Vague notions and sad hearts are themes. I was shown the way to my own affections. I was complete and then destroyed. How will I finish the race without you?

Letter from home.The following is something my dad sent my brother and I. It's actually pretty interesting when you break it all down. Have fun with this! :) Hi Sons,
I have been reading book about the Mayflower and came across some interesting information about the Pilgrims and Plymouth. It seems that when the Pilgrims first got to the New England, they made plenty of mistakes and a lot of people died as a results. The following is from the book "Mayflower" by Nathaniel Philbrick:
"The fall of 1623 marked the end of Plymouth's debilitating food shortages. For the last two planting seasons, the Pilgrims had grown crops communally--the approach first used at Jamestown and other English settlements. But as the disastrous harvest of the previous fall had shown, something drastic needed to be done to increase the annual yield. In April, Bradford had decided that each household should be assigned its own plot to cutivate, with the understanding that each family kept whatever it grew. The change in attitude was stunning. Families were now willing to work much harder than they had ever worked before. In previous years, the men had tended the fields while the women tended the children at home. The women now went willingly into the field, Bradford wrote, and took their little ones with them to set corn. The Pilgrims had stumbled on the power of capitialism. Although the fortunes of the colony still teetered precariously in the years
ahead, the inhabitants never again starved."
It seems that a lot of people in the U.S. have forgotten history, and I think that we are doomed to repeat some very bad mistakes if we don't stop depending on the government to fix every problem we have. Reading about the Mayflower has shown me that the liberals way of conducting government will lead us into slavery. If you get the chance, get the book and read it.
Indeed, it seem as though we have forgot about our very own history. On a side note, i've met a very nice girl. We don't really know each other that well yet but we are getting there. She kinda saved me from the abysmal cycle that I was in for a quick minute. :)

ShatteredIf you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?
I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you i suppose
'Cause the wounds never heal
But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel
Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it's real
But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel
When it's just me and you
Who knows what we could do
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day
But everything changes
If I could
Turn back the years
If you could
Learn to forgive me
Then I could
Learn how to feel
Then we could
Stay here together
And we could
Conquer the world
If we could
Say that forever
Is more than just a word
If you just walked away
What could I really say?
And would it matter anyway?
It wouldn't change how you feel. About how I feel of everything.
