America feels better lately.

It must be the injection of hope due to Obama being elected.  
It was nice to feel people a bit more united than usual.  

To the New Year 

 

<3 Amen!

<3 Amen!

I started school yesterday, and its safe to say that the general excitement has 
not worn off.  I love web design with all of my geeked-out heart.  I will not
be someone who hates their job in 20 years..or 30 years.  I think I could do this…

Forever.  

New years resolution:

1. To be the best damn designer ever, and get sweet grades.
2. Not get offended by things.. oh my fragile heart and sponge eyes!(thats an odd visual, eh?) 
3. Eat healthier
4. Get rid of more “stuff”

 

So there you go.. there’s my mini list.  I suppose its good to start small. I figure I can accomplish
all of those things, then i’ll move onto the marathon and the body building.. and the climbing Everest.

I’ve been trying to decide what to do after school.
Generally, I don’t think *too* far in advance.  I enjoy my life in the present,
and do not like to worry about the future.  

However, it is very clear to me that I’ll have to make the decision eventually.. and
unlike most of those far off decisions.. the circumstances in this one are unlikely
to change.

 
Its simple really: Minnesota or Vancouver

The major events in my life.. the things and people that shaped my character most drastically
have happened in Vancouver..
and my family..and Andrew are in Minnesota.  

I suppose, we all need to have things that we can give up, 
and things that we cannot give up.  

What are those things for me? 
What do I want for .. my future life?

What do I value? 

I’ve been avoiding thinking about it for obvious reasons: it hurts.  

Nevertheless, 

To quote Relient K :)  

“The end will justify the pain it took to get us there.”

 

In other news, the snow is taking Vancouver by storm, and left us squirming. its quite amusing. 

Talk to you later.

Ethnocentricity, Violence and Randomness mash-up.

“Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence. Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.”

Alexander Solzhenitsyn

I love this.

I love this.

 

 

A short and sweet blog post that states the annoyance I am showering in.  

A quick glance through some of my friend’s facebook status’ was enough to change my mood from a much more preferred Nostalgic state.   

The olympics are upon us, and apparently, many people are into making extremely ethnocentric remarks. 
Can we just…

Get over ourselves?

Our nation isn’t that great.  

A Land of the free apparently = A land full of people who take freedom for granted.

It would be a lie to run away.

Is this the finger, or just another fist?

Is this the Kingdom?

or just a hit n’ miss?
A misdirection, most in all this desperation

Is this what they call

freedom?

Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?

It’ll be a day like this 1.

When the world caves in

Is there nothing left now?

Nothing left to sing

from here.
Are there any left who haven’t kissed the enemy?

Is this the New Year or just another d e s p e r a t i o n?

Does Justice ever find you?
Do the Wicked never lose?

Is there any honest song to sing besides these

Blues.

My visual contemplation.

Thank you to Jon Foreman.
