Atmosphere,
been feeling somewhat apathetic lately. actually, lonely is the term to describe it. don’t know why really. one thing i’m proud of, i know and trust God will deliever me. and i actually keep praying and trusting him. rather happy for that. cause when i didn’t do this when i felt sad, it led to really really bad depression. that was some sketchy stuff. but i dunno, its just rough...

it was the fantastic drowse and drum hum of lum mum afternoon.
—Jack Kerouac.
feels so right in this moment.
i am realizing how much i love hilarious movies. think today i am going to read more of Big Sur, i finished Lonesome Traveler on Sunday. another amazing Jack Kerouac book. and i’ve decided to watch Animal House. John Belushi was the man. his SNL charecters were amazing in the 70’s. been watching a lot of old school SNL these days.
currently,
working as a work study in the studio at school right, bumping SNL 1975-1976. life couldn’t be greater.
just finished another book.
just finished reading Lonesome Traveler by Jack Kerouac. an amazing book as are all of his writings. but the last chapter was just incredible. after reading it, i came up with this poem about living life.
it was then that i realized that there is no rest for the hobo of the soul. people who wander around, searching for truth, searching for life in all its entirety. there is no rest. always...
“It is as if we stand on a platform overlooking the rest of the world and watch...”
– —Martha Hamilton
couldn’t agree more with her.
“As North American Christians, we need to repent of making God in our own image instead of being made in His image. We need to repent of making Jesus out to be one who condemns instead of saves (John 3:16-17). We need to repent of showing the world only what we are against instead of what we are for. We need to repent of letting a beautiful faith be turned into a synonym of hate.”

currently sick at the moment. lame.
but believe it or not theres an upside to it. i can read as much as i want while i lay in bed.
had my doubts about Obama, but i read some stuff that he’s making sure that people in Washington even stick to the law. i find myself somewhat starting to like what hes doing. i may not agree with everything he says such as abortion because of my faith, but hell, i think he’ll do a good job.
sometimes i really miss relationships, but then theres those times i really coulnd’t care.
but i always find myself coming back to that longing. and so i sit and watch others fall in love, holding hands, and promising things to each other. people i know and people that my friends knew are one by one getting married. nothing left but these two tragic hands. tragic hands that long to be held...
though i have my skeptics,
i pray he does a good job.
Obama is being sworn in tommorow so i should probley write something. i mostly do not trust most politicians and it is why i do not associate with either Conservative or Liberal parties due to the much of the corruption i’ve seen. but i pray this man does a good job. his message for change and helping others is something i agree with. this country would be great if we left NO ONE behind. so...
i have a 15% off coupon from Barns And Nobel. now the question is should i get one of these two cds.
Theolonius Monk.
Or.
ABBA.
would get a book but i currently have like 3 books to finish. 2 Jack Kerouac books and a William S. Burroughs book. i hate the fact i am so indecisive. but i might go with Theolonious Monk cd. i could use some jazz.

one of the most powerful quotes i’ve ever read.
“Most American Christians are Americans first and Christians second.”
—Jim Wallis.
When a Christian sees someone who is physically hungry, a Christian feeds the hungry person. Why? Because hungry people can’t understand the plan of salvation? No. Simply because that person is hungry. That’s what Christians do. And if a person is spiritually hungry, a Christian becomes “one beggar telling another beggar where he or she found bread.” Why? Because that’s what Christians do.

i have a 5 day weekend. this year, i have the greatest schedule. seriously.
i find that life is more exciting these days.
i am so pumped for two weeks. i start working in the studio as a lab assitant on mondays, you’d think i wouldn’t care cause its sorta just a small job that i do once a week. but nevertheless i look forward to just have chill nights sitting and doing work and when i’m not doing work, watching movies on my mac. and of course SNL from 1975-1976. it’ll just be nice to have some...
“Love. We all crave it. We were made for it, and if we don’t receive it, some...”
– i have started reading relevant magazine lately. just articles online and i came across this tonight. we’re all searching for love, mainly from a girl/boy. truth be told is we need to not worry so much about boys and girls so much. we’ve got Christ. when Christ went to the cross for us...
“Singleness is about adventure, self-esteem and growing up. And it’s about you...”
– a really good quote i found on the relevant site today.

a church in Chicago that is just doing wonders for Jesus. its a different Church model than i’ve ever seen but i find it amazing. 100% of all offerings goes to those who really need it.
