i've decided after 859 days of apartment207 to kill it.  it's over and done.  so i'm moving on.  thanks for the memories xanga.

You slipped from my arms, I knew you had to go
Such a heavy heart, who could hope to hold
And I know where you're going, and that's the hardest part
No matter where tonight ends, you won't escape your broken heart

Stay a while

Helpless for the words, and it tightens up the air
It's not what you deserve, it's not for lack of care
Inside of me is screaming out, I'm praying for my prayers
Distracting and unworthy of each and every burning tear

Seems insincere

Do I see God in all of this, maybe all along
It's just that we're so small, and simply not as strong
Strong like wings of silver, and feathers made of gold
To carry heavy hearts, to cover all our helpless souls

To cover all of us

Under wings of Gold and Silver sometimes we have to hide
For shelter from this bitter winter at least tonight

If it were mine to give I'd give you your own time
Turn it back or forward whatever you decide

Stay a while

Immersed

am feeling that old christmas feeling today.  not a good feeling either.  ryan and i have gone "christmas shopping" a couple of times this week and it has made me realize that when it comes to material things, i'm not a giver.  want some time?  i can give like a mad man.  want anything tangible? better tell me specifics and then hope it's in my price range.  shopping makes me feel empty in my chest.  it brings me no joy.  but what's a brotha to do, i say?  not give gifts?  right.  i'm sure that would go over.  it would be hard to give my sibblings my time since they live on the respective coasts.  same thing for my mom who lives 7ish hours away.  most people will be getting nothing from me this year.  not because i don't want to give, i really do... it's just that money is tight and i'm lacking in the creativity department.  i hate that i'm even writing this.  stupid. 

honestly, i'd prefer to not get any gifts this year.  i know that i still will, but i really would rather not.  i got new tires for my truck.  that's all i needed.  there is nothing i really want for.  so i'd rather you save

merry christmas everyone.

Lay Waste the Poets

summary from a conversation with marcus...

people who spend there lives aspiring to be like someone else, spend there whole lives failing to figure out who they really are.

i think it's ok to use some one else as a projection for your hopes, but not as a model for what you wish you could be.  other people are a measuring stick that we just can't live up to.  so spend life trying to figure out who you are, not how you compare with some one else.

Catch for Us the Foxes

i have my interview today at about 1 pm in detroit lakes.  send up some prayers at 1 for me today, if you're the praying type.

We hunger,
but though all that we eat brings us little relief
we don't know quite what else to do, we have all our beliefs,
but we don't want our beliefs,
God of peace, we want You.
