"though all the world may hate us..."

listening to: Thrice - Image of the Invisible

"though all the world may hate us,
we are named.
the shadow overtake us,
we are known.
we're more than carbon and chemicals"


One of my favorite songs ever.


while Thrice makes it well known that they support the cause of Invisible Children, make no mistake; this song is also very much about how we are made in God's image and we have worth and meaning to our lives. we are not just a mass of neurons and nerve endings.

i am malleable. i am changeable. at least my mind is, my decision making. sometimes i get really pumped for something and then lose enthusiasm for it within the month. i'm way too apt to base my decision around other people and events.

i live in a world of "what if....s" and typically i've thought of a "...then this" to most of them. i spend a lot of my thoughts in the hypothetical. i'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not. it's not like i ignore the present, but sometimes i'm surprised by how things turn out because i was thinking so far ahead in events that when something unexpected happened a whole line of thought falls away as useless. i think that makes me seem strange..... ah well, i am strange. :)

i think i'm coming down with a slight cold. i hope it goes away quickly.
i can't wait to play guitar in church tomorrow.
i can't wait to play guitar at practice tomorrow.
i love to play guitar.

someday someday i'll play in other places far away.
yes sir.
haha, with the old timey twenties voice: whaddaya know joe?
