Love Through Me

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me


i've never gone a day without a meal because i couldn't afford it
stood on a corner and begged for pennies, holding out a sign
call me blessed, but it sure does feel pathetic,
children ‘round the world are hungry now

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a boy could rest his tired bones?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to watch his children grow?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

i feel in the right, self-justified giving coins away
but what about the time i consider mine not tomorrow but right now today?
clothe the naked; feed the hungry; welcome strangers
come on, get up and open your eyes

so would i give up:
pillows and cable, clothing and candy,
if a girl could have some more to eat?
would i lay down:
making all this money, just to have my milk and honey,
if my fellow man could get the chance to hear about the King?

there is plenty on this earth to suit our needs
but there will never ever be enough to satisfy our greed
weigh this heavy on me now until i can hardly breathe
love through me

help us see, our eyes are weak, help us please
love through me

Freak of Nature

It all started when I figured out I could lick my elbow. It is supposed to be impossible but I've somehow defied the laws of nature and can do it. In the same sense, I was always told I couldn't have bangs because my hair would stick straight up with my cowlick. Well folks, I've done it again. I had always believed this lie until today when I decided I would rebel against my hairdresser and test this little theory out myself. I sat in my friend Lauren's bathroom and let her work her magic. I now have the bangs I have been wanting and good news, they aren't sticking straight up!

So don't let anyone tell you something is impossible....you could wind up licking your elbow or having those bangs after all.

The Tallest Man on Earth

I don't know about you guys but I know for me there are times when I just get sick and tired of the same old music and need something just really fresh and new to listen to. Saying this, a lot of you probably won't like this but man, you have to admit that there is passion in this music. This guy has the most raw voice I've ever heard and he can REALLY play the guitar. It's definitely what I've been craving to listen to all day.

SURPRISE!

I have changed the layout of my blog once again. It's the simplest it has ever been but this is a good thing. I'm going to start posting more pictures so the less distracting the background, the better!

I am extremely sorry to those that keep up with my blog because lately you have not had much to keep up with, have you? Don't worry there is a reasonable excuse behind my absence and here is why:

Basically, whoever said senior year was all fun and games clearly has some kind of warped, sick sense of humor. 

I went into this year all excited and anticipating it to be easy but no. Even after all the college stuff is taken care of, teachers seem to sense when the stress begins wearing off and it just gives them this weird urge to begin piling up more work than ever. They are out to get us...I'm sure of it.

On the bright side, seniors exempting exams only have one more official week left of school. A week filled with speed teaching and impromptu testing but nonetheless, the final week. Also on the bright side, I will be going to the beach with friends in 11 days and graduating in 18. Time has been flying lately and I'm sure next week will be no exception.....if I make it out alive.
