Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say it will end in ice
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if I had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

Two

If you take me back
Back to your place
I'll try not to bother you I promise
'Cause it's cold in here
And I wish it was hot
The sink's broke, it's leaking from the faucet
And I'm fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
But it takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take only one
Well, my money's no good when i'm up to no good
No good ever comes from it, honest
I got a really good heart
I just can't catch a break
If i could I'd treat you like you wanted me to i promise
But I'm fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
I'm fractured from the fall
And i wanna go home
But it takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take one
It takes two when it used to take only one

Favorites....

Here are some of my current favorite quotes that seem to be applying to my life:

"He who controls others may be powerful, but he who has mastered himself is mightier still” --Lao Tzu

"Only a person open to others can commune with, relate to or build up another person. Openness is the mark of the spirit. Being-in-openness is being in freedom, being capable of the love the transfigures the whole universe." -- Leonardo Boff

"I may be loves bitch but at least I'm man enough to admit it." -- Joss Whedon

"Real loss is only possible when you love something more then you love yourself." --Good Will Hunting

"Destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything that happens is an accident." --Sleepless in Seatle

"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." --When Harry Met Sally

"A life without love is no life at all." --Leonardo DaVinci

"Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." --Plato

"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

"She loves me for the best reason of all...no reason at all." --Jack

"If we could live without passion maybe we'd know some kind of peace but we'd be hallow. Without passion we'd truly be dead." -- Joss Whedon

"Purpose doesn't last and regret can burn a hole through any happiness." --Irv

"Love isn't brains, it's blood." --Joss Whendon

"Anything that's going to be good is going to have a struggle." --P.Diddy

These are words of wisdom that I've collected through the years but at the same time they all apply to a relationship I have right now in my life. It's funny how blind people are to who they are and how much these words are needed. If I could put blinking lights around some of these quotes I would and big arrows pointing at them for certain people. Especially the one from Good Will Hunting.

Found: One Amazing Old Friend

Today I got the best phone call a person can get from my college roommate Ryan. She randomly called me because she's shopping for her wedding dress and was remembering a time when we went shopping for wedding dresses in college....just because...yeah that's right...we did it. Ok it was my idea.

ANYWAY...It was the best conversation ever. Ryan is the type of person who you can just pick up the phone and call after months and months of not talking and it feels like you just saw her five minutes ago. She's loyal and supportive and an amazing friend. We laughed together about old times and talked about things going on now.

I miss our times living together and running into each other in the living room. I remember us convincing our other roommate to skip class and going to Sonic for Cherry Limeades and hot dogs together. We laughed about the day we met, at Orientation before Freshmen year ever started. We were roommates in the dorm overnight and kept in touch, ,we stayed close friends all through Freshmen year and moved in together Sophomore year. Wonderful times.

I absolutely love hearing her voice and it reminded me that I'm not alone. Even when I think I am...even when I'm sitting here in my room alone for hours, I'm not alone. My oldest most dearest friends are there for me all the time. I hope we get to talk more. Because I love having her as my friend!

Oh and it made me go back and look at old pictures of us and I'm getting a bunch of them scanned and put on CD so I'll put some up.

Go

For all the love we've made
Just one thing stays the same
The lamp gets dusty
The pipes get rusty
But I don't want to wash my hands clean

You say you love me too
Then why won't you go through
With the nightly kisses
With the hits and the misses
If you can make it on your own then

Go if you want to go
But stay if you want to know
The way through the mess we've made
And lie in a bed you know
Or go

I heard your moving van
But I didn't take a stand
You can't leave with them
You can't live without them
I never thought I'd want to let you

Go if you want to go
But stay if you want to know
The way through the mess we've made
And lie in a bed you know
Or go

For all the love we've made
Just one thing stays the same
The lamp gets dusty
The pipes get rusty
But I don't want to wash my hands clean

You say you love me too
Then why won't you go through
With the nightly kisses
With the hits and the misses
If you can make it on your own then

Go if you want to go
But stay if you want to know
The way through the mess we've made
And lie in a bed you know
Or go

Home Again!

Well I'm finally done and after a quick stop over in Atlanta I'll be home in Jacksonville for two weeks! At this moment I'm in ATL but I'm leaving tomorrow morning early. I have so much to do in just one day here I have no idea if I'll get it all done. I totally missed Trivia last night :( but I was so tired.

Let me just tell you all how well I slept in my bed last night!! It was amazing! I can't believe I'm done!

My internship was so amazing. Jeff was such a wonderful supervisor and he gave me so much great advise as well as lots of great resources. I brought back with me so many great books and a new robe which I'm so proud of! I wanted to stay so badly but I was starting to get really home sick. I can't wait to be back in Jacksonville tomorrow!!! There are so many things I'm going to do with my family before heading back to school. I am going to eat at all my favorite restaurants and shop with my mom and dad. I can't wait to see my kitty cats and oh yeah my parents too haha.

Thank you to all my friends who read my blogs over the summer I have tons of pictures to show you and hopefully I'll see you all soon. I'm going to keep this blog up and start writing about my school year. Hebrew and Theology experiences to come! More later!

Almost Done!

Well my internship is drawing to a close. I have a week and a half left and then I'm done. I can't believe how fast this summer has gone by. I have so much to do in the next few days it's crazy! My supervisor wants me to go and visit people that are shut in. I'd love to! I just have no idea when I'll have the time to do it. Especially since I'm preaching next weekend!

This weekend we're doing a service outside at the lake. I'm excited because it's going to be different and Jeff is planning everything so I can literally sit around and work on other stuff while he's doing that there's just a lot of other stuff to do!!

And now the purpose of this blog...

Yesterday I saw the most funny commercial on TV ever!! And I tried to call everyone to tell them about it but no one was answering their phones! So I am now writing a blog about it. So it's a commercial for a drug to help with "Restless Leg Syndrome" ok whatever I have no idea what that is. So they talk and talk on and on about this drug and then of course like all commercials for drugs they list the side affects. So I'm sitting there not really paying attention until they say..."Contact your doctor if you experience: headaches, drowsiness or severe compulsion to gamble." I like stopped what I was doing and seriously went "Did they just say that drug can bring about compulsion to gamble???" And then I start cracking up because you know a million people in Vegas just picked up a phone! I have no idea what to think about this drug but I can't wait to see the commercial again!! hahahaha!
