MY LORD GOD, i have no idea where i am going. i do not see the road ahead of me. i cannot know for certain where it will end. nor do i really know myself, and the fact that i think i am following your will does not mean that i am actually doing so. but i believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. and i hope i have that desire in all that i am doing. i hope that i will never do anything apart from that desire. and i know that if i do this you will lead me by the right road, though i may know nothing about it. therefore i will trust you always though i may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. i will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

to know there is a better story for your life and to choose something other is like choosing to die

"and i felt like my heart had been so thoroughly and irreparably broken that there could be no real joy again, that at best there might eventually be a little contentment. everyone wanted me to get help and rejoin life, pick up the pieces and move on, and i tried to, i wanted to, but i just had to lie in the mud with my arms wrapped around myself, eyes closed, grieving, until i didn’t have to anymore."

"You can say the pledge of allegiance and sing the national anthem all you want but please don’t pretend you are honoring the land of Washington and Jefferson. It has been many decades since America was governed by Jeffersonian principles of limited government or Washington’s foreign policy of minding our own damn business. Having a global military empire is not what I would call minding our own business . . ."

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one. Not even an animal. Wrap it carefully with hobbies and luxuries, avoid all entanglements and keep it safe in the casket of your selfishness. But in the casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable." -- C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

you were stronger and i was young
you knew the ropes and you had me in them
so i held you close as you looked away
driving down the I-35 finds me
shaking alone in the morning light
i wanna make you hurt he said
i wanna make you hate me
and when you do i'll take you one more time
baby i'll take you one more time
i was young
i was young once

blink 182 tickets have been bought!!
new emery -- it is amazing. i'm all smiles. ahh! it's so good! (a little disappointed that 'the smile, the face' and 'edge of the world' are the exact same versions from the 'while broken hearts prevail' ep. i was hoping they would change them up a bit. oh well)
