I don't think that I can say this
My words are wrong
But my eyes
You understand
Somewhere past my good guesses
I can see a new day dawning
Like a newborn
Smiling for the first time
It's the secret
That I never want to hide
You ask me what it is
I say I know
and it shows
Silence my world of questions
I'm letting go
'cause I know
What I feel with you
It's true
I taste a minute of virtue

Song List
There are some days that I wake up and think that I need to analyze myself.... The other day was one of those days.
So...
I decided to put together a playlist of songs (from my own collection) that I think are a good representation of myself in the past and present. In other words, what songs do I put together and what do they tell me about myself... This is what I came up with:
The Luckiest - Ben Folds
Annie Waits - Ben Folds
First Day of My Life - Bright Eyes
Tuesday Morning - Michelle Branch
Everywhere - Michelle Branch
For the Moments I Feel Faint - Relient K
Come Away With Me - Norah Jones
Unintended - Muse
Wanted - Vanessa Carlton
When I Fall - Barenaked Ladies
Mr. Chess - Duncan Shiek
Innocent - Our Lady Peace
Song for the Asking - Simon & Garfunkle
I'll Fly Away - Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch
Light in Your Eyes - Blessid Union of Souls
Forget It - Breaking Benjamin
Deny - Default
Breathing - Yellowcard
One Year, Six Months - Yellowcard
From Underneath - Hawk Nelson
All These Things I've Done - The Killers
Bring It On - Steven Curtis Chapman
Did you Feel the Mountains Tremble - (contemporary worship song)
Harder to Breathe - Maroon 5
and one other song by the Goo Goo Dolls that I don't remember the name of...
By the way, this isn't by any means a true sampling of all the music I listen to... which is strange.
Not all of them have the same meaning for me as for the artist... But then again I imagine some of you will figure out which ones are like that and why. If you don't, and you are extremely curious and/or nosey (hehe i'm kidding, ask me anything), feel free to ask questions. In any case.... I need to go write a paper. I love you all! Have a glorious day.

God Only Knows...
~ ~ ~
Do you ever feel like something is too beautiful for words? When all words lose their value and you are only left with phrases like "I can't describe..." or "I never knew..." it's as if suddenly... somehow, everything makes sense? Reality, your reality, is reconfigured into the form it was always supposed to be in.
Apocalypse.
Truth breaking into the world like sunlight through the clouds.
What an incredible thing. God only knows what i'd be without you...

uuuuuuggghhhhh
Today I think I finally understand what a person feels like when they come out of a coma
There is some disease going around campus and I've caught it. And, wouldn't you know, it's doing it's worst. *half smile* I find it interesting that this particular type of disease (the kind that affects your sinuses and slowly leeks into other parts of your body) is always what I come down with. Luckily i'm not throwing up.. today..
I can't recall a day in my life where I actually spent the whole day sleeping.. Wait, I take that back. The only time in my life that i've spent the whole day sleeping because of sickness was when I had Mono... Today I slept all day. The funny thing is that when I woke up I felt really stiff and fuzzy in the head. It was like all the muscles in my body had suddenly atrophied, and my brain was starting to deteriorate as well... That was a trippy moment. I really didn't feel like the thoughts I was thinking were mine, but rather that I was locked somewhere inside my own brain while someone else was thinking my conscious thoughts... Sounds like grounds for writing ay?
Well in any case, I hope that i'm better by tomorrow because i'm going to class regardless of whether I feel like my thoughts are my own... hehehe. Though it could make for an interesting day in philosophy... Perhaps i'll start channeling Plato or something.. *smirk*
One interesting website I discovered today thanks to Will (though I don't think he knows it yet). The site was:
http://www.venganza.org/
If any of you haven't been to this website I must insist that you go and devour it's contents... This should be where I would write something witty and funny regarding this website, however, I don't think that I have enough functioning brain cells currently... So... Just go read about our magnificent creator; the Flying Spaghetti Monster
May you also be touched by his holy noodly appendage.

What if
What if
I told you
that sometimes
just for a moment
I could see the future;
that suddenly,
it wasn't a dream
or something I made up
inside my head
but something tangible and real.
Something...
that I could wake up to
in the morning
close my eyes to at night
What if
I told you
that the future
is now;
playing out in front of us
like some beautiful
yet complicated dance
What if
I told you
that what I saw
was the simplest
most breath-taking image
i've ever beheld
What then?

The Little Things...
=)
If there is one thing I've learned in the short time i've been in Michigan it's to appreciate the little things.
Today some of my best buddies and I went to the grocery store. We split up, each seeking out different food items. As I was walking down the "pop" isle (I don't remember what it was really called), 2 tiny girls were jumping up and down and giggling in front of me. There wasn't any obvious reason for their excitment, nothing exciting was happening in the grocery store, yet their smiles lit up the whole space. I couldn't help but smile. It's not possible to re-create something so sweet and innocent.
Somewhere in the world a man realizes how beautiful his wife of 50 years really is, a little boy learns how to spell the word "jump", a new mother holds her baby in her arms for the first time, and a frightened young woman suddenly realizes what being in love really means. Underneath it all, we are all innocent. Sometimes it just takes a little bit of time and a lot of looking to see.
Beauty always pops up in times and places you least expect it, like in the grocery store, or in the middle of a terrible day, or in the last week of a summer you couldn't wait to end. That's when God knocks on the back door of your consciousness and says "See? I told you I know what i'm doing."
huh..
For a minute there I almost thought I had it all figured out.
