There are so many religions, so how can anyone say if they are all true? Doesn't the word "religion" cover a lot of area? But I think you hae a point and that there is one God. And He covers a lot of territory, He has different names.
Everyone had some abilities to do things well. They should have some knowledge and skills, doesn't have to be computers but there must be some aptitude and expertise in something. I am attracted to smart men.
If you are still friends with her, and she gets you a plane ticket, I say GO and visit !!! She may need a good friend right now. Wouldn't hurt to take some time off and visit Calif would it?
My older son who lives in Lorain didn't go to school there, he is going to be 25 soon. He lives off of Oberlin Rd., near the high school. He bought a house about two years ago there. My real name is Susie ;)
I'm impressed at what he wrote, it is how that song and its lyrics are similar to the "Ode to the Nightingale" poem by Keats...
Song Lyric Analysis
Opeth’s “Bleak” is a song that deals with the writer’s state of extreme melancholy, with the music being as significant to this theme as the lyrics themselves. The song uses musical elements such as dissonance (harsh harmony), rhythm/tempo changes, and various dynamics. An instance of these dynamics changes includes the alternating between abrasive growling and clean vocals, along with heavy, distorted guitar resonance switching with a clean sound. This song seems to parallel the reflection of what Keats was feeling. Even using a lot of the same words, such as “aching”, “drains” as well as the same ideas. Death and crying are brought up as emotions entangled with the writer’s being.
The atmosphere within the song is dismal and dark, but the reasons are formless, just as in Ode to a Nightingale. The rhyming patterns in both the song and poem are similar in that they are not uniform, the harmony changes throughout. Vocal styles alternate within the song, and the moods change within the poem. Though both writers were in a state of despair, “Bleak” and Ode to a Nightingale end neither positive nor negative. Rather, they both seem to conclude in an uncertain, dreamlike state. In “Bleak”, this ending is mutual with the lyrics and the music. Both works end with this uncertainty of the future, and seem to be more fixated on the present than anything else.
