One Year and 2 Days Ago...

Well, as of 2 days ago, my blog has been existence for 1 year. What I figured would last only a short time has been here for so long already. You all have read my thoughts over the past year as many different events have unfolded in my life. I just wanted to let you all know how much I really do love you all and thank you for loving me. Don’t worry though, this thing isn’t going anywhere!

On a different note: Today was pretty sweet. 4 of my 6 classes were cancelled, so I went in to school late and got out early. It was nice to have a half day I guess…there’s just been so much going on lately it’s been crazy! I’ll be house-sitting next week starting Thursday, so I’ll have to see what I can do about getting on and updating this!

Coldplay

I can't believe it's been a week since I last wrote. This has been a crazy week. Last weekend I played for the Ruth Graham event, which made for a long day, but it was still kind of cool. On Monday was coldplay, which was AMAZING. I swear I like them more everytime I see them play. I've got some pictures I'm going to put up on flickr sometime soon...possibly as soon as I'm done writing this...so make sure you take a look.

It's About The People, Stupid.

Sometimes we all just need a little reminder that it's about the people...not the task...and most definitely not us.

Caring

So I guess I've been wondering...

The love that we have for the people around us...does it ever get to be too much? Ok, that sounds really bad...because it makes it sound like we can be too loving at some point...but that's not what I mean. What I mean is this: Is there a point in which we care so much for others that our worry takes too much of a toll on ourselves or that overburdens us with sadness? I guess maybe this is similar to the compassion that God shows for us....and the same kind of heartbreak that he has everytime we turn away or people reject him. Interesting thought....

Writing

You know what I've come to realize? I guess lately I've been experimenting (if you want to call it that) with writing. I guess my hopes are that one day I'll be creative enough to actually write songs well....but that might be awhile becuase the last think I ever want to be is some mediocre singer/songwriter chick (we all know that girl I'm talking about...haha) who plays nothing but GCDC the whole time. I fear I may be going backwards by writing lyrics first, but in my opinion, the music is what draws me in...but lyrics keep me coming back. (haha, cheesy metaphor yes, I know) I'm just a lyrical person I guess. So we'll see...maybe when I get my laptop eventually it will be a catalyst because I'm hoping to get a Mac with the mbox and protools and stuff I think. I'm still somewhat up in the air on exactly what I'm going to get...but I think a laptop will be a wise investment, especially for school and music and whatnot.
