They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you need to leave.
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be.

But everything inside you
knows there's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
filled with empty words

And you're on fire
when he's near you
You're on fire when he speaks
You're on fire burning at these mysteries
Give me one more time around
give me one more chance to see,
Give me everything you are
Give me one more chance to be near you.

"What do we really want to say to the world? Three main themes. The inability to find completion in our modern society, the inability to find completion within ourselves, and the new way to be human in what Christ offers us - His love and His perfect plan of redemption for us." ~ Jon Foreman


This is it. Do not despair.
"I wrote this song near the end of my 24th year on this planet. Wherever we run, wherever the sun finds us when he rises, we remain stuck with ourselves. That can be overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like my soul is polluted with politicians, each with a different point of view. With all 24 of them in disagreement, each voice is yelling to be heard. And so I am divided against myself. I feel that I am a hypocrite until I am one, when all of the yelling inside of me dies down. I've heard that the truth will set you free. That's what I'm living for: freedom of spirit. I find unity and peace in none of the diversions that this world offers. But I've seen glimpses of truth and that's where I want to run." ~ Jon Foreman

When all I have is on the floor divided, divided.
When I'm a world away from peace...
Behind your eyes is where I know
I'll find it, I'll find it.
'Cause who You are defines my dreams.

You already take me there.
You already take me there.
You already take me there...
Heaven in the here and now.

When I'm a broken-hearted man,
Complacent and tired.
When I've been knocked out of the race.
I've been a fool for long enough
To fight it, to fight it.
It's in your arms I find my place.

You already take me there.
You already take me there.
You already take me there...
Heaven in the here and now.

You meet me where I am.
Forgive me where I am.

Where I lose myself in grace.
(Where I'm lost and found)
I want to lose myself in grace.
Let your love reign down all over me...
(Over me)
Cover me!

You already take me there.
You already take me there.
You already take me there...
Heaven in the here and now.

"The best part about surfing is being out right before sunset. The wind starts to die down and the sun kind of jumps in with you. It's hard to see how anyone cannot be aware of God's presence." ~ Tim Foreman
What's it gonna take
to slow us down?
to let the silence spin us around?
What's it gonna take
to drop this town?
We've been spinning at the speed of sound.

Stepping out of those convenience stores,
what could we want but more more more?
From the third world...
to the corporate core...
we are a symphony of modern humanity.

If we're adding to the noise...
turn off this song.
If we're adding to the noise...
turn off your stereo, radio, video, i dunno...

what they're gonna think of next.
genetic engineers of the most high tech.
A couple new ways
to fall into debt.
I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet
that that T.V. set...
tells us what we've wanted to hear.
But none of these sound bites
are coming in clear.
From the third world to the corporate ear,
we are the symphony of modern humanity.

If we're adding to the noise...
turn off this song.
if we're adding to the noise...
turn off your stereo, radio...

If we're adding to the noise...
turn off this song.

"When we were on tour with Five Iron Frenzy, we had a blast while on the road, really getting to spend some quality time in fellowship with other musicians we really respect. As iron sharpens iron, we really learned from each other, were accountable to each other, and were encouraged by one another. Lately in just having good conversations with other musicians, one of the things I've learned is how God hasn't called us to walk alone. He gives us other believers to walk with, and they surround us."
~Chad Butler

Growing up

So my boss took me in the private office today and told me in a few months that they will be offering me a full time job.

That's big. Makes me feel all... like an adult. I think for the first time in my life I truly feel like... an adult. I haven't told anyone in my family yet though, at least not my immediate family. So if you are part of my family and you're reading this, tell no one! My boss told me to just think about it first so that's what I'd like to do before mom or grandma start getting too excited.

A full time job at my current place of employment means A LOT of hours. This summer I will already be working 5 days a week , but only one shift each day. If I went full time it would lengthen to full shifts meaning up to 12 hour days... and I'm just not sure if I want to be working 12 hours almost every day. I worked 12 hours last monday and it almost killed me. lol. I'm anemic like you wouldn't believe which means I'm always tired anyway, and I keep getting these... I dunno episodes... where I can't stand on my own 2 feet... okay well mom calls it passing out... but that just sounds so dramatic. lol. But yea when I get too hot, bad stuff happens. And it doesn't matter how high the air is turned on at work... if I'm wearing that mask all day or have long procedures... I will get too hot. A little over a week ago, Doctor had to put me in the dentist chair in the next room and Judy put me on oxygen and started rubbing ice against my wrists. (a trick she learned... something cold on the wrists cools you down instantly.) It was really scary. I've never been put on oxygen like that before.

SO needless to say... 12 hours days... not good. lol.

I talk to much. Err write too much.

Me thinks I will stop now and run off somewhere to work on my plan to invade Switzerland. This whole nuetral thing is totally irritating.

Taking over

Feels good to be back to work. There was already a paycheck there awaiting my arrival. YES. Now I can buy Sunkist and lunch tomorrow. *cheers at you*

Man... that movie High School Musical has taken over the country or something. I watched it with Philip, Bob, Bridget and their kids the night it first aired. I think Chancy was there too, weren't you? *ponders* Yes... playing WoW the entire time. That was the night you made Debrah do the angry face and the King Kong point.

Anyhoo... I didn't really give it much attention with the kids running around but I liked a song or two and my homegirl from the Suite Life of Zack and Cody was in it. So I was like well that was cool. And now I'm hearing on the news and in all these entertainment magazines that it is now the #1 Most watched Disney movie of all time, (comparing ratings/viewers to average DVD/theatre ticket sales) getting about 30 million viewers each of the TEN times it aired.

Then I woke up to the Today show this morning and the whole main cast was on a stage performing in the middle of Time Square and the news guy was like "congratulations... your soundtrack... #1 CD in the country." I was like wow. That's insane. Then I hear all these critics saying it's the Grease for this generation's teens. And they're already working on the sequal with the entire original cast signed on.

...

Needless to say, I need to pay attention next time it comes on. Tho I will already say it's better than Grease in the aspect that the kids are actually playing the correct ages... instead of being like 90 and playing highschoolers. lol.

Prayer Request

My cousin Michelle went to the doctor today cuz she's been feeling sick and having some other problems. Now the best case scenario is nothing is wrong. But the worst is cancer. She's going to have some tests done and then we will know for sure. Everyone please pray for her. I don't know why but cancer really loves this family and we don't want it here anymore. Angry

Sorry

I've been MIA recently. Been busy with work and whatnot. Things will calm down in about a month though when all of my initial training is complete. TONS to learn in a Dentist Office. Some people have been working there for over 10 years and still have new things to learn every day!

God has been good to me though, I feel truly blessed. This amazing job just fell into my hands and I could not be happier with it. I love it, it doesn't even feel like work. I get to meet new people every day and joke around and have an all around good time. But I also know that I'm doing something important and helping people so that makes me feel pretty good about myself at the end of every day. :)

Happy Holidays!

Get down with the sickness

Blaaah. Been soooo sick. But I have the Anberlin show to go to tomorrow and I willl go no matter what. Also I'm sure I will be sqiushed no matter what because this time I'm getting the wrist band so I can get up close and actually seeee the band. That's what I hate about House of Blues, you have to get a wrist band outside in order to be able to sit down up close on the inside. It's so stupid, having to have a band just to sit down. And once you get inside, u can't get a wrist band... they tell you that you probably had one already but gave it away to a minor. Sooo they all just call you a liar and make you go away. I HATE the HOB, it's the worst venue I've ever been to. Only for Anberlin or Switchfoot do I go to the HOB.

Anyhoo. Philip gave me the camera attachment for the Sidekick so now I'm obsessed with taking pics of myself. lol. Not that I have a big head or anything, but it's just so interesting, being able to watch yourself do all these things as you do them. Don't really get that option with other cameras. And the quality is so bad that I actually almost look decent in the pictures. lol. *hugs her SK*

Foooooooooood.

From Decency to Decadence

My eyes light up, they're glowing.

The brightest core within my bones is finally showing.

May the skin bust open, may the veins rupture free.

May the soul drenched beneath the surface come forth and leak.

 

Staring into you, I perceive the essence of myself.

Two eyes, the windows to the soul, I see it all.

Gazing at you, I find the radiant scheme of the universe coming to a start.

When I inhale your presence, catch that full-blown gasp of air, inflating my heart,

That's when I feel human, tortured as Macbeth.

Laying eyes on you, I feel pure, untouched… the whiff of a baby's first breath.

 

Double, double, toil and trouble,

Find me here suffocating under these shards of dark rubble.

May each bad moment fade, may these regrets be none.

May I perish, for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

 

Staring into you, I catch a glimpse of the planet.

Your eyes attest all; I swear I can see it.

Gazing at you, I feel the time on earth standing at a halt, it never ends.

While I remain emotionless, awaiting your thrust out of this dreadful decadence.

That's when I'm bare, exposed as a naked neck.

Losing all trust in you, the time won't come… even at the hum of man's last breath.

Deda and me

Feel the burn

Wow. There's this old house that's been right in front of my grandmother's for many many years. Well the owner moved out and he couldn't find anyone to sell it to. So he donated it to the fire department to burn down for practice. So the entire East Hazel Crest FD came out today and blocked off our whole street. And the Thorton FD was there too... let me say, Thorton has the most AWESOME fire trucks EVER! lol. They're a very very rich green. I love it. Anyway... so Granny, mom, my cousin Michelle, and her husband Dave, and I all gathered on Granny's porch and watched all the firemen prepare and we greeted the owners of the house. And before we knew it, the entire neighborhood was in our front yard. And Homewood's citizens were spread all up and down the street. Plus that parking lot right next to my house was jam packed with people all stopping to watch the fire. There were even news reporters getting out and taking millions of pictures. We felt so bad though because all those people thought the fire was not a set up and were walking up with horrified looks going "did everyone make it out ok?" We tried to tell as many people as we could that it was intentional but the word didn't get around to everyone. And we didn't tell the newsreporters cuz we thought it was funny that they thought they had this big story when there was really nothing to write about. lol. Poor dudes. But yea the smoke got REALLY high. In fact that's how Homewood knew about the fire, they could see the smoke! So yea, it was pretty amazing watching the house burn and the cranes on the truck go all the way up and seeing hoses everywhere. When the house caught fire you could hear all the windows breaking and at one point something even exploded, driving every dog in the neighborhood insane. lol. We had a lot of fun though, all these strange people we had never met, we got to bond with in our very own yard. We even joked about getting hotdogs and marshmellows out. lol. And at one point I was playing songs like "Fire" and "Burning Down the House" on my laptop so that everyone could hear. It was great times, all those people in our yard coming to watch the fire, it reminded me SO much of my favorite book Rocket Boys. But I guess you have to read to understand.

As for the rest of my day, I went job hunting and shopping with Philip. I applied at Game Stop... which would be SO awesome to work at. Philip and I walked in on a lightsaber battle there. lol. They got those really nice 100 dollar sabers in and the employees were duking it out in the middle of the store. They even challenged Philip and made him fight. lol. So that was fun. We also had fun at Vogue looking at material for my dress. I can't wait to get it. Also we stopped at Best Buy and I bought the 5 new Halo 2 maps for my xbox. I'm so happy with the levels because I LOVE the smaller levels and 90 percent of the new levels are just my size. And the big one, which is Terminal I believe, is pretty cool cuz it has trains going through it and you have to be careful to dodge em.

And last but not least, I have decided to see March of the Penguins... who's with me?!
