If you know Tenacious D, you can appreciate this.... and also why I was so excited.

Horray for Honda making an awesome Tron commercial! So fun!

Christians - Maya Angelou

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."

I'm whispering "I was lost,

Now I'm found and forgiven."

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I don't speak of this with pride.

I'm confessing that I stumble

and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not trying to be strong.

I'm professing that I'm weak

And need His strength to carry on.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not bragging of success.

I'm admitting I have failed

And need God to clean my mess.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are far too visible

But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I still feel the sting of pain.

I have my share of heartaches

So I call upon His name.

When I say... "I am a Christian"

I'm not holier than thou,

I'm just a simple sinner

Who received God's good grace, somehow!

The workadays were propping the bar
quietly erasing the week
and i was in a cornerbooth thinking(pretending to read)
about the impossiblity of one to love unconditionally
and the words that we drive into the ground...

The differences pale when compared to the similarities they share.


So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you

Why?

Why am I afraid to dance, I who love music and rhythm and grace and
song and laughter?
Why am I afraid to live, I who love life and the beauty of flesh and
the living colors of the earth and sky and sea?
Why am I afraid to love, I who love love?

Eugene O'Neill

new horrible company motto:
david nygard jewlers - bringing people together through diamonds

should diamonds really be the force bringing people together? is that all that a diamond ring is? a way to get a woman to say yes and agree to put up with you for the rest of her life? is the ring all that she wants? it seems like it is all they want and all they talk about. oh she got engaged? did you see the ring? how big is it?

do diamonds really bring people together or do they drive them apart? do they materialize a union that is supposed to be based on love? david nygard, should you really be proud of bringing people together through diamonds? shouldn't you give them the opportunity to purchase a representation of their commitment to each other, in anticipation for the life of love ahead of them? not just throwing some money at compressed carbon, hoping to get a girl to swoon.


whatever

Like Cholula on your morning omelet, the vibrant colors of fall have set the trees ablaze
