BEHOLD

If you are asking yourself why one would choose to bang in their return to blogging after a hiatus (I hate you dear school/work/flu) with a toothbrush, you obviously have never been introduced to God's latest gift to woman and mankind. I give you the Crest SpinBrush Pro. (aaaaahhhhh!!!!!....just pretend I am a chorus of angels, or perhaps an organ) This little fella has rekindled my long lost love of the brushing of bicuspids. It's like all kinds of goodness swirling about on your gums and tongue. I'm pretty sure if mouths could talk, yours would thank you if you splurged $6 on one of these.

parking

Dear fellow vehiclists,
If you are one of those special people who drives one of these...
or one of these...and you just so happen to park in one of these...

instead of one of these...

I'm gonna go ahead and say you ruin my life at least three times a day. News fu-lash! You can park pretty much anywhere you want to....a curb, under a tree, a porch, a not-my-parking space...

Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, including all kinds of pestilences and disease and melon flavored gatorade, is worse than seeing that open spot and rushing to pull in to find a bike the size of a peanut parked right smack in the middle of it. One of these days I'm going to teach you all a lesson and just ram right over the top of your little two-wheeled tinker toys! Muahahahahaaaah!!!! So there.

it sucks

school is currently sucking the life out of me not unlike a child let loose
to suction their face purple with a crazy straw and a juice box.

can you spell F-I-R-E-D?

Looks like someone let the intern run the spell checker again. You'd think with only one word to check the odds would be in your favor. But hey, better luck next time. Thank you dear giant Super 8 billboard for my roadtrip-home-laugh-of-this-day.

"Haiku Tuesday" has been hijacked for a time by "iTunes Tuesday" due to a recent lack of poetic insight and a recent profusion of freaking good songs.

HELD
Natalie Grant

Two months is too little.
They let him go.
They had no sudden healing.
To think that providence would
take a child from his mother while she prays
is appalling.

Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We’re asking why this happens
to us who have died to live?
It’s unfair.

This is what it means to be held,
how it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
and you survive.
This is what it is to be loved
and to know that the promise was
when everything fell we’d be held.

This hand is bitterness.
We want to taste it, let the hatred numb our sorrow.
The wise hand opens slowly to lillies of the valley and tomorrow.

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
and to know that the promise was
when everything fell we’d be held.

If hope is born of suffering,
If this is only the beginning,
can we not wait for one hour watching for our Saviour?

This is what it means to be held.
How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life
and you survive.
This is what it is to be loved.
and to know that the promise was
when everything fell we’d be held.

We'd be held....

This is what it is to be loved
and to know, that the promise was
when everything fell, we'd be held.

This is what it means to be held.

and that's a fact!

Sorry for the video feast as of late, but when this came
on tonight I literally almost peed my pants.

Hey, they couldn't say it on TV if it wasn't true.
