Life is a movie
An independant film of everyone's life
Life is a photoshoot, and we'll pose while those memories trigger the camera
Flash, its imprinted in our receptors...and those memories will fade like old photos until the faces are a blur, and the background is a tattered sepia
Life is the page out of a story book, and as we turn the pages, our history and future unfolds before our eyes like a pop-up book
Life is a poem, it flows with our sorrows, our woes, our happiness and this prose is just the beginning of the words we'll say...
Life is a play, a stage we act out in our rage, in our pains, in our gains, in our love and our hopes
And when you pull the ropes the curtain folds back, and we'll never hold back
We'll give you all our passion, all our dreams, and inside this will be our biography
There is no choreography, only the self-conscious guessing of our actions will prevent us from becoming great actors of our lives
Life is a painting, and we are the colors that splash across its canvas and create its true soul...
Life is full of mystery, our history is only the past repeated, so don't stay seated...don't watch us play, come and join in the game.

Indigo Children: Higher beings or just brats?
The indigo child:
The following is an excerpt from a supposed Informative Indigo Children web site:
http://www.metagifted.org/topics/metagifted/indigo/
Excerpt from Indigo Children page:
There's a very good chance your child is an Indigo if he/she was born after 1992. About 85% or higher of children born in '92 or later, 90% born in '94 or after and 95% or more born now (some even say 99%) are Indigo Children! Does this mean you aren't one if you were born prior to 1992? No! I've heard reports that they started coming in the 80s, but that means coming in larger numbers. I believe there have been Indigos born in every year, but perhaps not in high enough percentages to notice their presence and see what makes them so unique. So can you be a 24 yr old Indigo or a 50 year old one? Yes!
Lets mention the fact that after the 90's, children were more increasingly being raised by TV's, Daycares, Nanny's, and electronic noise-producing toys. Or how about the new learning video games they have out; where you just sit little Sally down in front of her "Learning Game" and she can vege out without any parental participation.
Lets also mention our increasingly degrading economy, the sudden "Foreclosure Crisis", and both parents having to work full time jobs while barely getting by. Most children are being fed lunchables and pop-tarts; because their parents do not have time to teach them how to make their own meals, nor do they have money to buy them proper healthy lunches.
These days, most parents only have time to drop the kids off at soccer practice, sit them in front an x-box or cable TV; and avoid spending any time actually interacting w/ them. Hence why we have a new generation of rude, irresponsible, brats.
I was recently working at a home daycare, and happen to notice that all of these children literally did not KNOW how to PLAY. They attempted to play house, but got confused or bored and moved on to play cars. They did not know how to make sounds for the vehicles; because all the toys have devices installed to create noise for them.
They did not know how to act, or play pretend, because no one had ever taught them. I remember seeing children come into the daycare; they would get so excited they would completely forget about their parents, and charge into the daycare, w/ grins on their faces. They called the day care owner "Mom" because they saw her more often than their own parents. When summer break came, 8 year olds were attending the daycare and being tortured by boredom, instead of going on camping trips or to the park.
The "Teacher" daycare owner, did not talk to them like people, but instead talked AT them as if they were non-human entities, or inanimate objects. I would look at the children and talk to them on THEIR terms, and explain what "Teacher" meant. They would appreciate this, and were happy to oblige to what they were asked.
The new trend in child rearing: Unconditional Love.
What a load of crap. If your child throws a rock at your head, are you going to give them a big hug? No! Your going to sit them down, tell them why this is bad, and punish them for their behavior. No one likes this word "Punish"; most people equate it with using a belt or a ruler. When I was a child, my parents came up w/ very creative ways of punishment; my brother and I once got all of our toys taken away for a month when we didn't clean our room. We had to earn our toys back by doing chores.
When we talked back we got soap in our mouths, or duck tape. Was this death? Horrible or cruel torture? No; it was a method of letting us know that shit won't fly.
Not only did my parents teach us discipline, but they let us know the reasons why certain things were not cool. My mom let me know all of the dangers of drugs with own her horror stories. When I got older and drugs came into my life, via friends, I said HELL NO.
My parents also interacted w/ us as people, taught us how to cook, clean, build, and DEFEND ourselves. That's right, my parents taught us how to fight. Now I'm sure most of you are shaking in your boots now, "that's not right!" Violence is BAD. Well guess what? It exists, its a natural part of nature, of being a predator.

(http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus/shadowmyth/2007/07/22/the-suppression-of-predatory-desires If we can't defend ourselves, then others will walk all over us. I'm not saying to choose random fights, but if someone attacks me, I'm going to defend myself.
The Indigo Children, are just an excuse for parents to continue being bad parents, w/out taking responsibility for their actions.
As a parent, ask yourself THESE questions:
1. Is my child acting out because I'm not acknowledging them?
2. Am a being a good parent?
3. Are my children not respectful of others, because they were not taught how to interact w/ others?
4. Do I play pretend with my children?
5. Do my children spend more time with the Nanny, than me?
I think you get the picture. Look in the mirror, look at your child. Ask yourself if using a bunch of excuses for their behavior is really in their benefit, or if it just makes it easier for you? If you want a revolution, or some new "Vibrational Pattern" be a good parent, and a friend to your child. Teach your children to be conscious of their surroundings, of others, give them purpose. Right now we have a generation of children who don't give a damn; they are lost and confused, depressed and "Emo", or violent and uncaring. Why? Because they were never given any purpose. Teach them how to live, how to cook, or sew, or do construction(not Bob the Builder videos). The revolution starts with you being a real parent.
