this diary is dedicated to all who suffer because of war
we love and support our troops, just as we love and support the Iraqi people – without exception, or precondition, or judgement.

The U.S. Army brought charges Wednesday against Swift, who refused to return to Iraq after alleging her supervisor coerced her into a sexual relationship.

I Lost It
by Williams Lucinda
from the album Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can’t replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I’m never gonna find
Another one to compare
Give me some love to fill me up
Give me some time give me some stuff
Give me a sign give me some kind of reason
Are you heavy enough to make me stay
I feel like I might blow away
I thought I was in heaven
But I was only dreamin
I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can’t replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I’m never gonna find
Another one to compare
I just wanna live the life I please
I don’t want no enemies
I don’t want nothin if I have to fake it
Never take nothin don’t belong to me
Everything’s paid for nothing free
If I give my heart
Will you promise not to break it
I think I lost it
Let me know if you come across it
Let me know if I let it fall
Along a back road somewhere
Money can’t replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I’m never gonna find
Another one to compare
Money can’t replace it
No memory can erase it
And I know I’m never gonna find
Another one to compare

a personal note: Resuming these diaries after an unanticipated absence. I’ll explain in more detail soon, I just want to get back to doing this right now. Thanks.
