play the sky

It's my birthday. Yes, it's true.

SURPRISE, and I, well, one more night.

Surreal is quite honestly where I live.

That being said, and completely irrelevant, here's this.
Bittersweet without the sweet, or maybe just a little, but definitely not sugar or lemon. Maybe a lime, or a something of that sort. Home, or maybe just two hours east of wherever I am now. Whatever it was it wasn't that. thank God for one normalacy. Not long until this rolls around again.

What I'm Thankful For

This was the weekend wishes were meant for. I went to see Death Cab for Cutie at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, and spent the weekend on the Georgia State campus with Steve and the girls. Then Sunday came, and with it the first taste of Thanksgiving as we sat down to a lovely Thanksgiving dinner as friends, we cooked the turkey, made the stuffing, Heather made the best sweet potatoes in the history of sweet potatoes, and we got a table from the church. We put candles and a tablcloth down, sat down and went around the table and said what we were thankful for, we all said the same thing.

Well last weekend our apartment played host to 10 guys as all the guys from Source of Prosperity came up. It was a weekend manfest rife with bad smells, stupid speech, and, of course, wrestling. Josh Ling is one of my favorite people I don’t get to see very much. And after wrestling Justin, I feel like we’ve reached a new level. Anyway, much love to the guys. Death Cab is within’ sight.

...and don't be wishing you were someplace else or with someone else. Where you are right now is God's place for you. Live and obey and love and believe right there.

last breath, first laugh

As I look around I see that we're falling into our winter melancholy. Trying not to look at the future, but being unable to turn away. Like it's some creature stalking us. I feel like life is a huge weight crushing my body, but not my spirit. My friends are to amazing. It's so crazy how we're just this small group of people all going through some pretty intense crap in our lives, and we all know that if it weren't for the others we could never make it. What a life.
