Quote of the Day, the Fourth:

"I mean that to be in a relationship with God is to be loved purely and furiously. And a person who thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can't accept who God is; a Being that is love. We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people," Paul says. "That is why God tells us so many times to love each other.""
-Donald Miller
I would like to formally request for someone to dropkick me in the face should I actually go about trying to reactivate my Final Fantasy XI account.

Anyone who does me this service shall be paid in candies.

Quote of the Day - Part Three:

"My most recent faith struggle is not one of intellect. I don't really do that anymore. Sooner or later you just figure out there are some guys who don't believe in God and they can prove He doesn't exist, and some other guys who can prove He does exist, and the argument stopped being about God a long time ago and now it's about who is smarter, and honestly, I don't care.

And that's when I realized that believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is like making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon."
-Donald Miller
"Oh you look so beautiful tonight
in this city, city of blinding lights"
I...I think,
I think that,
I just...I just
might be beginning,
yeah beginning to believe.

Quote of the Day - Part Two:

"Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them. Thus, at an entertainment, don't talk how persons ought to eat, but eat as you ought. For remember that in this manner Socrates also universally avoided all ostentation. And when persons came to him and desired to be recommended by him to philosophers, he took and recommended them, so well did he bear being overlooked. So that if ever any talk should happen among the unlearned concerning philosophic theorems, be you, for the most part, silent. For there is great danger in immediately throwing out what you have not digested. And, if anyone tells you that you know nothing, and you are not nettled at it, then you may be sure that you have begun your business. For sheep don't throw up the grass to show the shepherds how much they have eaten; but, inwardly digesting their food, they outwardly produce wool and milk. Thus, therefore, do you likewise not show theorems to the unlearned, but the actions produced by them after they have been digested."
-Epictetus

Quote of the Day:

"'What is truth?' said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer."
-Francis Bacon


Talk about some pwnage right there.

Breath, yeah baby yeah!

It's excessively silly things like that...that make me wonder...but then I remember how little of life I am refusing to take serious now. Not everything is a joke...but more things should make people laugh more than it should make them cry or even upset them in the first place...because...who really...can take the time to care?

Drama?
Oh no, oh no thank you, no thank you, it's not for me, never for me.
I want to smile and see other people smile.
If I can play a song that will make people dance or at least stop to think...then I am doing something beautiful.
If I can write a poem that makes someone realize they are never alone, that they aren't the only person left being human...then that is something too.
I don't NEED to find myself like that...it's a want...but God, thank YOU so much for being so beautiful to a broken wretch like me.
Thank You so much for being so good.

=)

I can breathe.

"Walk out into the street
Sing your heart out
The people we meet
Will not be drowned out
There's nothing you have that I need
I can breathe
Breathe now
Yeah, yeah

We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown

Walk out, into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I've found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it's all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now"
Woah...sleepy what evers...hmm...
Strange thought.

But I am tired beating my head on that door.

No sense trying to do something that never was really wanted.

Hmm...I also can't stand friends of convenience but that is enough confused and sleepy rants for the night.

Yay!
