The Serenity Wish of Southern Charm

"Serenity" by dobee on DeviantArt 

May the laird grant me the serenity
                                to accept the things I cannot change,
                                                     the courage

                                                                    to change the things I can,
                                                                                                     and the wisdom 

                                                                                                            to know the difference.

Today my Tomais and I went out sailing for the first time in a long while. It was just a short trip, because I was late home from work and Tomais had to leave for his work, but it was still good. There is something to be said for just being alone with the one you love on a boat at sea.

Big Brother Is Watching Us

If our Big Brothers in the United States National Security Agency (NSA) is watching us there is really only one thing to do.

MOON THE NOSY BASTARDS! 

Thank you Edward Snowden for informing us about this, you are my hero! 

Just like Daniel Ellsberg and Bradley Manning before you, you have brought the public's attention to the wrongdoings of the powers that be and their henchmen.

We always need heroes in our midst who, when they feel that something is utterly wrong, have the courage to act and to do the morally right thing. I hope that I will have the same courage if and when I find myself in that position.

P.S. If anyone is wondering if the ass above is mine I must coyly admit that it is NOT. Mine is a bit hairier and even more beautiful.
