Today as I walked to class I came across a huge banner that read "Early Registration Starts Soon: Check your Loyno Mail".  Images of a quickly approaching graduation started to run through my mind behind the shade of my sunglasses.  Along with that came emotions of happiness and excitment, fear, sadness, and curiosity.  Looking back at the young ( Read more... )

In the recent days I have discovered something that I have known for some time.  I have been holding on to aspects of my past that just like heavy luggage has been weighing me down in my voyage through life.  While the world around me has moved on and gotten tired of my stagnant actions, I have pushed the petal so far to the point of missing out.  ( Read more... )

So a random thought ran through my mind yesterday while listening to the words my teacher.  As I sat there, I heard, what later proved to be the guy sitting behind me.  He had leaned so far up in his chair that I could very clearly hear his breathing.  Wierd i know, but my immediate reaction was to turn around and ask him "Why are you breathing so ( Read more... )

So yesterday was the last first day of my undergraduate career, and it surely made a mark on my time line of events for the year.  It started off with an early morning jog in audubon park, then off to school for my last music history class, and if anyone knows my professor, you know that her syllabus is usually a handbook.  The next classes of the ( Read more... )

The other day during a training session, i was given a piece of paper with a "W" on it, and told to use my imagination to transform this "W" into a drawing that would symbolize something that meant something to me.  As soon as i heard the directions, the first image that came to mind was a mountain.  I drew hills and clouds, roads and a sun.  When ( Read more... )

I'm a lot better than that last entry may have left some readers to believe.  I have prayer and that's what I need to get through any hardships.

I know this entry is really short but I will update again later.

Today, I found out that a good friend of mine was in the hospital for heart failure.  I really don't know what to say.  As a friend of mine said in a recent LJ entry; "I;m just waiting for someone to die" before I lose it.  On my way home from an overly-stressful day at work, I found myself praying to God to relieve me from the stresses i have been ( Read more... )

If there were ever words that made sense to me, these are them:

If I never needed You before
to show up and restpre 
all of the fath that i let slip
while i was a yet searching the world for more
the truest friend i have indeed
You're my best friend i know in need
i stretch my hands to Thee
come rescue me 
i need You right away
the agony of being alone

Have you ever had a meal that no matter how great it taste or how flawless its presentation was, there is still something missing?  Something that gives the food its spark and overall roundedness.  (I think i just made up a word.)  And even though this ingredient is oh so important to please your palate, it's missing.  That's kind of how I feel ( Read more... )

I read this entry from sometime ago.  Its hitting some things dead on.

So in response to my second to last entry I've done a lot of thinking. Since then, I gotten several extremely helpful answers from friends both online and in person. This past Friday I went to a "Black and White" themed birthday party and the answer finally came to me. (This may ( Read more... )
