"I have spoken these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."

Let's go, let's fly, let's get our backs up off the earth and get up in the sky. Come on -- you know the way. Second star to the right and straight on till morning. I'll take you there, I know the way, I believe, I have faith enough to get us there. Just come with me.

The thing is, I'm back in school now.

I'm making my own momentum. Coming back I had no momentum whatsoever. I spent eight months in Phoenix, Arizona walking closely with a God who truly loves me-- not in class, not paying my own rent, not doing homework, living with family, almost no responsibilities-- but all kinds of spiritual weights and burdens ( Read more... )

I took a shortcut through Royce Hall tonight, to get out of the cold. I walked by a girl who couldn't stop smiling. This was easily the biggest grin I've seen on a human being in weeks.

I'm retiring my blog.

This doesn't mean that I don't want to talk to you guys. I definitely, definitely do. Just not ( Read more... )

I want to expand it into a novel, and publish it.

Crazy? Yeah. Wishful thinking? Definitely. I've got a snowball's chance in hell of attracting the ( Read more... )

It took me about three weeks, but I finally finished all the positive Notpron levels. I know Phil and maybe John will be jealous of me after reading this. Damn, I'm so proud of myself.

So now for week four of UCLA, spring quarter, 2007. I have two midterms on Friday, plus a five-page philosophy paper due. So... If anyone wants to engage me in a ( Read more... )

OK, it's been a while since my last post. And it probably would have been another long while until my next post, except that I discovered something to post about. Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received an urgent, and horrifying, news bulletin. And I want all of you to stop what you are doing, and listen.

The Hush Sound is an amazing band.
