Is Earl There?

March 26, 2006  |  kansas  | 

after my class tonight, i made the inevitable trip to walmart. usually, i try to hold out as long as i can, waiting for my mom to give in first and ask me if she can pick up anything for me [i know. it's rough] but tonight i gave in. i don't have to pay for the roof over my head or the electricity to run my itunes. i can pick up a few groceries...every once in awhile. now for the good part of the story. i'm walking out of a version 92 walmart [please don't ask me how i know this]....

I Repent // Derek Webb

March 25, 2006  |  kansas  | 

i repent. i repent of my pursuit of america's dream i repent. i repent of living like i deserve anything of my house, my fence, my kids, my wife in our suburb where we're safe and white i am wrong and of these things i repent i repent. i repent of parading my liberty i repent. i repent of paying for what i get for free and for the way i believe that i am living right by trading sins for others that are easier to hide i am wrong and of these things i repent. i repent judging by a law that even i can't keep of wearing righteousness like a disguise to see through...

It’s Me

March 24, 2006  |  kansas  |  ,

so. it is only 6:30 am here and i've already been working for an hour and a half. i had one of my restless, sleepless kind of nights. i hate those. i'd much rather start tackling the things consuming my mind than lay in bed and worry about them. perhaps i'm worried about my first project i'm sending out for permit next week. or maybe it's lunch today with a friend that i know i need to say something to but i have absolutely no clue how to say it. it could even be that i spent 2 hours last night...

Finding… er… Losing my Center

March 16, 2006  |  kansas  | 

i went to yoga. i speak in past tense because currently, it is something i have only done once. though i have all intention of continuing, i cannot yet say, i take yoga. that would be an exaggeration of the truth. i don't exaggerate to make a story better. *wink.* but i did take a yoga class. i have few, natural, physical talents. no matter how hard i try, i cannot make my ears wiggle or pop joints out of place. i do not have a body built for a runner or the grace of a ballerina. i'm tough naturally, but i am a...

Wounded Healer

March 11, 2006  |  kansas  |  ,

though i'm not an impulsive person, i am also not one to sit around and only talk about something. i'm a doer. i like action. if i say i am going to do something, i usually do. [though sometimes i think only through stubbornness] my INTJ temperament predicts me as such. so what did i do yesterday? i got a tattoo. when i was burned in europe, i wanted all of the scars to go away except for the drip line on my right foot. for some reason, even on the day of the event, i thought this looked pretty cool. the...

The Rain

March 9, 2006  |  kansas  | 

the rain came today. they've been telling me it would be here all week and i cannot remember the last time i saw it. today the rain showed up. i love the smell it brings with it, fresh and clean, full of life. spring is on its way, i can feel it in the air. it is a time where all nature seems to rejoice in its birth to a renewed life, promising the warmth of color and sunshine. it only seems appropiate that as my wipers rhythmically accompaning me into the office, i saw my first budding tree of...
