10) I'm really glad I got those new goggles. They've made me excited to swim, again. I find that buying new "stuff" makes it more fun to do whatever that "stuff" enhances (i.e. new running shorts, goggles, speedos, shoes, socks, etc
( ... )
Sweet. Now I'll be just like every other person in the world. That's really appealing.
By the way, you are freaking smart and you're an amazing musician. Screw everyone else, and keep buying iPods and rap music and run your ass off. If it's what makes us feel alive, why stop it for the sake of other peoples' opinions? I bought Kanye's new CD and I can't stop listening to it. I'm REALLY excited about running outside to listen to that whole CD. Seriously. It's not the same being in the gym, running on a treadmill, and listening to Kanye say, "What would you do for a Klondike? Or two dykes, lookin' Christina Milian-like." Those are outside lyrics... for realz. I love you.
joey i just want you to know that you are my friend. i have noticed a lot of my friends going through the same thing spiritually as you are. i feel like i am also sometimes. at trinity on sunday kris said that God calls us to 1)let God define us and not our culture, bc he gives us identity, friendship, and purpose 2)get outside ourselves and serve others and 3)let Jesus into the deepest parts of our lives, like the parts we don't show anyone.
a lot of what he said was aimed at new christians, but i realized that maybe i need to think a little bit like a new christian. like, maybe i've become so cynical and jaded and "used to" God, that i've forgotton what my ultimate purpose is: to show Christ's love to others by loving others. it's so simple, but we make it so complicated. i just think we need to refresh our minds sometimes. i don't know. i hope you didn't roll your eyes at anything i just said.

I want to be in a ba-and. I'll wear diesels and try to act all cool, I promise! I'll even let my hair get all greasy- wait, nevermind. I'll just sing a solo in church or something... with clean hair. Love you.
