falling up

falling down, looking up
wandering, unbeknown
in this, too, there is purpose

freedom.

keep it silent,
veiled.

into a sagacious void, i vault.
land not. look back?
never.
plunge

Running in Circles with Pitchforks

Life often feels like that.

Found a New Comic Site

When Music Goes Belly Up...

The realm of music with Christian influences is vast, and many aspects aren't worth mentioning because...well...they're too corny and overtly 'Yay Jesus!' for my taste. This video is worth bringing up, if only because it is the *WORST* Christian song I've heard. Ever. Really. http://www.alittleleaven.com/2008/09/jesus-is-a-frie.html

Crimes of Thought

Chem class is done for the summer. I am so thankful that it wasn't murderous. Now three weeks to chill. What I will do exactly remains uncertain, but I like living life in a less-planned fashion.

I'm packing up my apartment and preparing to move. Just started that whole ordeal tonight. Being an oddball freethinker at times, I have these late-night bursts of contemplation. They usually come as I wash dishes. Since I've neglected to handle that task for admittedly too long, I've had a chance to think over some stuff that's been floating around my rusty innards (forgive the Star Wars quotes...they're second-nature).

I keep struggling with a lot of the same issues. Trusting fully and completely in God. Letting Him handle the details. Not flipping out about things that He's got under control. So when I read Oswald Chambers' devotional for today (July 31, 2008), it resonated with my heart's internal processor. "Let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" —James 1:4. http://www.rbc.org/utmost/index.php God is always showing me that I should be more patient. It's humbling. Sufficed to say God's still making a lot of things more clear over time even though the epiphanies feel quite slow in coming.

I've been posting way too much crud about myself here, though, so this is turning into more of the fabled LiveJournal entries Randall Munroe has cartooned about than anything resembling a post worth reading. Thinking: Quick! Mention something about little green men, bologna golf or Madonna for a laugh.... Sorry. I typically fail when it comes to being humorous.

Apparent Wise-dom

Well, I'm a bit confused about life in general. But allow me to post a list of the few things that I do hold to be true under all circumstances:

-People are always people. We're never far from corruption, temptation, despair or insanity (maybe that's just in my case). There's really nothing we can do about this one, even when we try to control everything or make life perfect. Guess it's a good thing God's in the picture.

-Cheese should not be left in the refrigerator for longer than 2-3 months. Scientists have proven this to be an accurate figure. After 60 or so days, the mold colony will move out and head to your living room.

-Life is best lived by those who aren't afraid to get bloody knees on occasion.

-If you're addicted to web comics, it's only a matter of time before you start your own.

Less is More Sometimes

Instead of boring you all with a blow-by-blow account of what I've been up to lately, allow me to provide you with a couple of visuals:

we celebrated Pete's 20th b-day with pals and Pixar...





This guy amazes me...especially breaking into a jazzed-up version of a Michael Jackson tune mid-jam.
