"It's not the gospel that's hard, it's life that's hard"

Sometimes I wish my brain looked a little more like this:

And a little less like this: 

... ignoring the fact that that is indeed an album cover, my brain feels like a riot... like many riots... happening all at the same time... and that red RIOT! ... yeah 

It just feels like life is too loud sometimes, for the good things to get in yah know?

This is an amazing video!

Just watch it, and then do what your heart tells you to do.

My mind wanders off when I don't sleep...

There's this song by The Rocket Summer called: Do You Feel and one of the lines is:
"I guess my mind wanders off from time to time,
Sometimes I convince myself that all is fine
In the world, it's not mine, why should I have to try
To fix things I didn't create or contrive?"

The world really does think like this sometimes huh? There's so much business going on that the big problems seem insurmountable.

Edmund Burke once said: "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

The next stanza in the song says:
"Do you feel the weight of the world singin' sorrow?
Or to you is it just not real?
'Cause I got my own things.
Yeah we all have our things, I guess."

Dang. Makes you think huh?

I really love this song mainly because of that, through a bunch of my classes from psych to public health to sociology to history, there's an idea of social responsibility that we all have for eachother simply as human beings. Even Kohlberg's stages of morality put universal principals/social responsibility as the highest level of achievement.

I want to change the world. I want everyone to change the world. I believe we can all change the world. :)

Animal Print Pants Outta Control!!

So, it's Pi DAY! and I also wore zebra pants today, and spring is coming! There is so much to be thankful for!

Classes are winding down, and the tidal wave of midterms is finally subsiding, but I still feel so behind in school! (probably because I am, but it's all good, b/c things are gonna work out, and when I get my mind goin' towards something, ima get that janx DID!)

But I just wanted to say happy PI DAY, and recommend that everyone wear zebra pants, it's fantastic, also, I don't recommend that anyone do drugs, like I tell my class: Stay sober!


Okay, that's all, except there's only 7 MONTHS til' the TOUGH MUDDER!
and like 5.5 til' them mission papers can get it! :D

God is great, life is good, people are crazy!

Breakthrough.

So if I was rich, i'd be hiring The Rocket Summer to just mindmeld w/ me and then write the official soundtrack for my life! School is kray, work is kray, my tailbone is kray, my sleeping is kray, my computer is kray, LIFE is kray! But really, would I have it any other way? Picture Below = My schedule for next week... :P Daddy taught me how to fight
Working hard all his life
I started out as a teen
And I remember these things

Calloused hands Saturdays
You gotta fight to get your pay
And what I need I know
But I'm about to lose control

I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm losing my sleep running after you
But still, I'd rather have a breakthrough
So I don't stop making moves
I need a break, but I'd rather have a breakthrough
I'm tripping on hurdles running after you
But I can see it right at my fingertips
Isn't it classic?

Mama said it's all right
If you cry if you lose a fight
Daddy said dry it up.
I'm proud of you not giving up.
I've been battling so many years,
and I've stood up to many fears.
So keep the faith, this I know,
but I'm about to lose control.


I don't know anymore.
What am I waiting for?
I know, I know I'm giving it all I have.
I want, I want to give up so bad.
How come I keep on running?
But I feel it coming,
I feel it coming on.

I need to catch a break.
Yeah, I hope I catch a break. So yeah, idk, this song is an ode to the weekends, especially Sundays, because that's the break I get to put everything into perspective. It's weird trying to live like one day at a time while tryin to keep the eternal perspective. But for real that's a line I can walk w/ some help and practice. God is great, life is good, and people are crazy! The Church is True! <3 188

What up Mudder??

Okay, So I got up at 5 this morning, b/c my computer is wack right now, and while I'm scanning some of my notes into PDFs for 2 of the tests I have this week, I've been doing a bit more research on the Tough Mudder Event that good 'ol Mary Math introduced me to yesterday! For real, this event is so stinking legit... and it supports the Wounded Warrior Project to help vets that have been wounded physically and mentally from war.

This is totally something I want to be a part of and, they ask the participants to raise money for the project. So other than the obvious upsides of having an excuse to roll around in mud with some friends and get through a kick-a obstacle course, I think that this is a great service opportunity to support as well.

So yeah, it'll be legit.

God is great, life is good, people are crazy.
