When going to bed,
I hit my head.
I dreamed that I was in Ireland.

Where the blarney stones shine with such grace,
and the people always have a smile on their face.
I dreamed that I was in Ireland.

Where the beer flows freely,
and the women want to please me.
I dreamed that I was in Ireland.

Man, I really hate Mac.
One year, my mom bought me a 15 gig IPOD, and instead of using it, I placed it in the microwave and set the timer on 10:00.

My friend had a new Mac laptop that was capable of some pretty amazing stuff, and one day he brought it over.
When he woke up the next morning, he couldn't find it.
We looked for hours until he eventually gave up and went home.
He didn't lose it. While he was sleeping, I took it into the backyard and smashed it into a million pieces with a sledge hammer. Then, I dumped all of the pieces into acid.

And you know what I hate more than Mac?
The people who keep talking about it.

Nah. Magic isn't cool this month. All of the witches left it up to Santa.

Yeah, they'll pretty much lose and nobody will care because... who in god's name watches football anymore?

Darn. Do I get to try again??

Fourth one down, on your left.

Completely agreed.

I did not see Hostel or the second one.
I heard they were pretty terrible movies.
Mind you, I am not going to see these movies just because people told me they sucked. On the contrary. I am not going to see them because they didn't seem interesting to me.

I liked the move when I first saw it. After multiple views, I started to dislike it.
Unfortunately for Christian Bale, he's had a mix of really good and really bad movies. His worst, by far, is Equilibrium.
He did an amazing job on Batman Begins, however.

So... now I am to understand that magic isn't real, even though I have made it real on many occasions?

And are we talking about magicians here or witches?

Magic is started in the mind. When intention is sent out, when your focus, concentration, and discipline is sent out, we may or may not get desired results.
and that's the beauty of it all.

Magic is send something out so hopefully it will return.

and this, again, goes back to not thinking for yourself.
Simply because this one person claims that there is no such thing, and is willing to support the claim by giving someone a million dollars, does not mean that magic is not real.

So, maybe magic can't be proven. Who cares?

Magic is very real in those who use it.
And other people will probably never be able to see it.

I still play the original online.
I can't wait for SC2. SC has been my favorite game for years.

On the question of tolerance, anybody really.
I want people to at least know what Magic is. And this can be anyone from the zealot religious to the every day Joe.

My main focus on my magic has always been to heal.
In fact, me and another practitioner have worked on people who had some sort of sickness. We did work on a lot of people for about two years. When I went solitary, my main focus has been on bettering myself.

Here's something that is making me laugh.
This was never a conversation about Religion to begin with.

Yes, Witchcraft is a religion... and at the same time, it isn't.

Witchcraft isn't my religion. It's only something I use in my life to create things. I don't follow it's teachings nor do i worship.

I simply use magic.

Here's the thing.
I accept that their is a Christian belief.
I accept that you follow it.
And I even accept that fact that there are a lot of good Christians out there living by the true message and not just what the book says.

Yes, I will probably never follow the Christian faith... but that does not make me hate it, nor does it make me intolerant.

I do believe, however, that when a person uses their religious text to answer everything about life or the way things work, they may be a little blind sided.

Or is it plasitc ware?

Because a lot of men think that they're not going to get a woman using such cheap silver ware.

Because magic is always around me. Magic is life.
Magic allows you to create your existence the way you see fit... from a general idea of life to your daily routines in life.
It helps me to focus, to learn discipline, to open my mind, and to allow new experiences to come into my life.

No, black magic doesn't.
They either do magic to harm or not to. That's the only difference.

We've all seen our share of movies and TV shows about Witches and magic. At least once in our life, we've been told that Magic is bad. We've also been told to believe that there is a white magic and a black magic.

Wicca came about in the 50's.
Wicca was a newer way of looking at the craft, and also, for some, an easier way to understand.
Though I do not blame Wicca for the popularity that witchcraft has gained, I do have to say that it had some small part.

For years, I've seen many people who followed some Pagan path.
A lot of times, they were young, they did not know what they were really following, and it seemed that they were not the types I wanted to study with.
And then there were those odd times, those times when I did not really focus too much on Witchcraft that a real witch would come into my life, befriend me, and show me that maybe I should jump back on the tracks of Witchcraft.

It's been a hard 7 years. How do you make your friends understand that you practice Witchcraft?
And how do you let your family know?
Of course, you do not have to tell them, but when it takes up a good part of your life, why shouldn't I?

People believe that there are white and black magic.
That's completely false.
The witch creates the magic. Therefore, if the witch is good, he will do good. If the witch is bad, he will do bad.
Plain and simple.

We need to have some tolerance for magic.
If we can have the tolerance, we can begin to understand.
And when we begin to understand, we can teach our kids, relative, and friends that maybe magic isn't so bad after all.

Think for yourself.
Just because people may tell you that magic is all bad, look for yourself.
It's sad to see such a powerful, helpful, and friendly tool get such a bad name.

This is simply what I've heard, so your comments are appreciated.

Jesus wasn't born on Christmas day. In fact, it has been proven that he was born sometime in the spring.
Once again, I only heard this. I am not quite sure it's true.
So, let's say it is true.

If it is, why do we still celebrate Christmas?
To visit family? Well, if we wanted to do that, we could find many other days in the year to do that, that is... if you truly loved your family.
To give gifts? Why not buy gifts for them when you feel you really need to. It shouldn't be just one day.

The spirit of Christmas is gone in me.
As much as I want to enjoy Christmas again, I just can't.
Seems that magic that I had during childhood left me.

The only thing I see Christmas as is a failed attempt by the Christians to take over a Seasonal holiday that the Pagans have been celebrating for thousands of years.
I also see it as a quick way for companies to make money, a quick way for a lot of traffic jams, and a quick way to make people lose a lot of money, become stressed, and drink a lot.

If you love your family, don't just show them that you love them on one day of the year. Do it as much as possible.
If you have kids, celebrate Christmas with them if you want.
