All of the lights..... are off

Cop lights, flash lights, spot lights
Strobe lights, street lights
(All of the lights, all of the lights)

        Well, some of the lights are on. Like cop lights. They never go off. If they did, I think no one would be safe outside their houses.

        So, I left my Aunt's house on thursday because I had to attend Agape summer training. The meeting went well. It was basically the highlight of my coming home to le 'belt. On Friday, I went to an allnight prayer vigil that my church was  holding. About one third of the way throught the time we were supposed to be there, the lights flickered and then went, off. I knew that the service would not meet an arubt end when tablet and phone screens shone like holy grails into the pitch black room accompanied by the continued singing of my fellow church goers.
        When church was over, my mind quickly went to where I'd be laying my head that night. That's when it registered in my head that Greenbelt might have lost power too. Luckily, I was wrong. While some were sleeping sans AC, I was so cool i actually had to use a blanket.Iit was a thin one, but still. The next morning, a Saturday, I had to go buy stuff from Safeway. Boy was it crowded! people from all over were coming there to get food because their locasl grocery stores were out of power. After getting my things from Safewa, I went to the Dollar Tree, wh\ere many people where buying batteries, flashlights, aand candles. I stared down my nose at them thinking, "Oh, poor commoners. I guess not all are priveledged enough to remain undisturbed by a simple storm." I wallked out of the store with my egoi inflated. Only to go home watch tv some and then experience the debilitating event.
        It was a hot, hot night. That is until the lights came back at 2:00a.m. this morning. I was so happy!Just the thought of AC gave me hope as I lay there like the corpse of a victim at a crime scene.
        The lights went off again today. Fortunately, I would not b e restingmy head in the power-less Greenbelt, but in the power-full Odenton.
  
        Yes, I am baby sitting again. But the "babies" rent home right now. They went to a barbecue, so i can chill/relax and watch me some Big on viki.com

Naul's Memory of the wind

Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought: the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader.  Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.) Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.) The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reaso...

my shattered heart

so i was the one to say the words, to put the ring back into your recieving hand. we were supposed to have become a happy married couple today but we became two disgruntled single people. I said I love you because I do and to talk to me if you needed to talk because I wanted you to tell me I could talk to you. You always thought that i had friends to talk to but i don't. their lives are so shiny and filled with light and to go tarnish it with my problems especially when I think I am the Problem is not feasible for me. I don't have a wonderful man anymore. I pray that he continues to find himself and grow to have a beautiful family that ill probably be envious of and a nice compassionate wife. I don't know what to do with myself. Usually people  who break up with people have somewhere to go, something to focus on. I feel like a dunce at work a pretender and i'll soon be found out and kicked out. I feel like my relationships with people all over are so shallow. ...

Life leaves me wanting.

The way I've lead my life leaves me wanting so much more. For example the last 8 years of my life could have been so much more active, or so much productive, so much more aspiring, so much more of so much more... I could have set goals for myself experimented in more ways life, love, art and faith. In my life I could have been childlike, I could asked the questions I longed to ask save for fear that if I ask them it would seem as if I was rejecting God, rejecting religion. But that's just a part of what I could have done that is so much more. I could have been so much more. I can still be so much more. the entirety of the rest of my life lies  before me. The words that I say, every one of them, a new beginning. The much more that I desire, it's within my grasp. The questions I want to ask, God's ears are open I only need ask; I only need to look forward and test the waters by doing more; to producing more and to be more active. The entirety of existence has not end...
