http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/baldwinwolf i am just a down to earth man, who has over the course of my life accumulated a great deal of knowledge about a wide range of things, some juvenile and trivial, others of greater importance. i love writing poetry and letting my hands create a piece of artwork out of just about anything. i am a WICCAN a BUSH supporter, as well as the war on terror. i am a die hard REPUBLICAN. a HUNTER A RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER a weapons specialist. a heavy metal fanatic. a fisherman. an EVOLUTIONIST i think that kids are great NOTHINGNESS Nothing hurts worse Than love denied Nothing stings harder Than trust betrayed Nothing lingers on Like a hope suspended Nothing more tragic Than a promising friendship ended Nothing more sad A lonely heart losing a friend Nothing more useless Then to beat against a locked door Nothing more futile than the hearts crimson tears shed upon the floor Am I nothing? EMBRACE OF DARKNESS Lost in my darkness I gaze up at the ebony sky My body and mind are numb Lost in an astral plane on high Where did she go, my princess of salvation She wandered through my soul Drank from my well of isolation Bringing excitement to my life Immeasurable, beyond any rhyme or reason Bringing much cherished light Into my lonely darkened season en-us there is no " god" as defined by organized religion, most of "the following of christ" and the bible was stolen (borrowed ) from the pagans, but that being said- believe in whatever you think to be right. there are certain things that are indisputable- the bible being a conglomeration of the beliefs of the time in which it was written is one of them. look at the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt- most of their gods had wings ( angels???) it all becomes quite clear when you study "all" of the worlds religions, and you can see the progression and birth of many of the " organized " religions and the pagan beliefs that inspired them. it has always seemed rather odd to me how the "truth" was confined to a rather small geographic area in the beginning,and then spread as people migrated around Europe, if it truly was the truth- wouldn't everyone on the planet have been notified by this "god" and given a copy of the bible? if you look at history with an open mind you will see that this wasn't the case at all, we had "civilization's" here in the Americas long before christs birth, and what were their beliefs? paganism , nature, and ancestor worship- ironically the very "evils " that the organized religions are against- truly hypocritical if you ask me. King Solomon was a practitioner of WITCHCRAFT, and it is said that through such witchcraft- he built the temple mount " the holy of holies" but that part of the bible has been overlooked in favor of more traditional "organized beliefs" ( google the lesser key of Solomon), translated- organized religion is a play for POWER, and that power comes from followers of blind faith and their MONEY, most organized religions teach to be humble and not to covet worldly posessions, and that money is the root of all evils, and yet most organized religions are some of the richest organizations in the world, $$$ is the true name of this "god" but believe as you will, that is your choice and your right as a human being- if believing in a singular " god" is what keeps you warm at night, and keeps you being "good" than that is great. blessed be baldwinwolf Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:00:14 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/people_not_believing_in_god 473230 freshly caught trout- grilled skin on and basted with butter and a hint of garlic. baldwinwolf Mon, 04 Aug 2008 14:51:54 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/favorite_barbeque_food 464665 yes I thought it was a very interesting idea. and the problems that such a large project present are many, especially with undersea life and shipping traffic and submarines having to be able to stay clear of it. it really would open up things between here and europe. but it would also become a very enticing target for terrorism. I think once it gets built- it will be pretty cool. baldwinwolf Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:33:12 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/transatlantic_tunnel 462845 I love DARK CHOCOLATE. baldwinwolf Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:28:58 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/random_question_11244 462840 to be born- live- and then return to the earth. (simply stated) the process of searching for "the meaning" is irrelevant and should be defined by each of us as individuals between our birth and death. and great answer legion- very true. baldwinwolf Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:27:29 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_are_we_here_for 462837 and we continue to be attacked by bin ladens boys, this fight needs to be fought, we have their attention -now that we haven't just cut and run like they figured we would. terrorists need to be stopped (shot) and we are doing that. baldwinwolf Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:22:20 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/the_war 462832 the "right" religion will come to you through careful study, of the religions that are out there- and who you are as a person. but definately make a choice based on what appears to be right to you. my opinion is that if it is right, you will find your way there, without any promoting or "window dressing" or someone else telling you what the "truth" is. be a great human being everyday (not perfect) and the "right" path will present itself. baldwinwolf Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:19:42 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/which_is_the_right_religion 458212 I would say SHAKIRA baldwinwolf Thu, 31 Jul 2008 23:10:03 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/who_is_hotter_beyonce_or_shakira 458202 YNGWIE MALMSTEEN- classical heavy metal guitar, soft and subtle to fast rhythms, it always worked for me, and wouldn't upset "her" by being something obnoxious.

I guess that terrible TED is one of few famous people that I would go out of my way to see again . maybe someday I will meet FAITH HILL- my cousins babysit her and TIM's kids. baldwinwolf Thu, 31 Jul 2008 09:50:28 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/have_you_ever_met_a_celebrity 457072 if you are not ready for the answers- don't ask the question- simple as that. oftentimes someone asks a question on this site and receives answers they do not want to hear- that is all a part of getting ADVICE, and by accepting that ADVICE like a rational human being - is a sign of maturity. sounds like you have some rather drama filled days ahead of you- but you can't blame your father- YOU HAVE BECOME THE INSTRUMENT OF YOUR OWN SORROWS. I do not see any advice above (except the advice on how to pass the tests) that is incorrect, your father has every right to be concerned about you, and to take steps to insure your own well being. but hey- who are we, right? like I said at the beginning - if you don't want answers and advice- don't ask the question. and see just how far you get on your own while feeding a destructive monkey on your back. baldwinwolf Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:04:53 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/can_my_dad_force_me_to_take_a_drug 455552 I have been a metal head for over 25 years now- death metal, thrash, black metal, industrial,- I love it all- if it is heavy and fast I love it. it is nice to see the next generation carrying the torch- keep it up. baldwinwolf Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:50:56 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/metal_12735 454206 I have seen great deals from - CHEAPER THAN DIRT, and BUD K. they have all kinds of airsoft supplies. also SPORTSMANS GUIDE is a very good source for airsoft guns and supplies. check them out. all of the above are mail order or online suppliers. baldwinwolf Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:35:47 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/what_is_a_good_airsoft_store 443677 halloween- the original, and the rob zombie version is just f@#king awesome.

I have fun hunting. I eat what I kill. occasionally I do hunt for a big buck, most times I settle for a small buck or doe. the decision rests solely with me- no one else. the world is getting way too sensitive. baldwinwolf Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:06:48 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/is_hunting_a_christian_sport 430129 nope- the people who carried out the crime should be solely responsible. there is way too much finger pointing now days. the blame game is an act of stupidity by cowards who do not want to face the consequences for their own actions. responsibility begins and ends with our own personal choices. so the blame should lie solely with the columbine murderers, and no one else. baldwinwolf Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:03:26 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/marilyn_manson_and_columbine 430123 king diamond is the main one that comes to mind.
