how many times can i break to not shatter

clapping at concerts

Wed, 03 Sep 2008 22:35:31 GMT

i really don't understand why people try to clap to songs that shouldn't be clapped to. it's stupid and annoying. STOP!

i.e. at a concert, the slow song is coming up (which shouldn't be clapped to) and people start clapping.

i conclude that the people who clap in these situations are one of the following

1.) not true fans of the artist because they don't know the music
2.) clap happy
3.) idiots
4.) little kids that don't know any better

and if you are going to clap during a slow song and ruin it for everyone - at least clap on beat so it doesn't sound entirely terrible...

top 10 reasons why the ER stinks

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 05:43:21 GMT

I know Emergency Rooms serve a much needed objective and that they're a necessary fact of life. Yet, after spending a fair bit of time in the ER for various reasons over the past few years, I've discovered several reasons why they stink.

10.) nowhere to lay down and sleep

9.) crying babies, crying old people, and everyone in between who's also crying

8.) crabby people in the waiting room

7.) lame soap operas on tv

6.) no one waiting wants to watch espn

5.) babies that smell like poo and old people that smell like fart

4.) kids running around and making a ruckus because they think the ER's a playground

3.) other sick people that could potentially make you sick or sicker if you're already sick

2.) incessant noise from slamming automatic doors, a whiny sounding nurse, and people having senseless conversations griping about how long they've been waiting,

1.) waiting for hours on end (i've waited a record of 10 hours) only to see a doctor for two minutes and have them send you home with a bottle of aspirin and tell you to schedule an appointment if symptoms persist

so i ordered a ruler from what will remain an anonymous office supply store.

it was a $3 18" metal ruler which arrived in a box with bubble wrap that was 20x10x10. what a waste.

this is clearly why our environment is suffering, gas prices are ridiculous, and global warming is upon us.

I believe that though rare, there moments in life where one faces a decision of going all in.

Risk everything for the opportunity of gaining everything, but with the ever present danger of going completely and utterly broke. Drawing a parallel to faith, one risks the fate of eternal future for the opportunity of gaining eternal life, but with the plausible chance that believing the wrong thing would leave you in an eternal abyss, hell or worse.

At times, the right decision is to go all in, with others, it's essential to fold. Yet, once you decide, there's no turning back.

This is the crux and the paradox of decision-making, that it defines our values, shapes our character, and forms our very being.

See you at the crossroads.

she's come full circle
i'm here at square one
she can do what she wants
i'm trying to do what she's done
so now, seems that i'm ready for you
so have we begun

the universe is full of reflections
but you have eyes
that can see in another dimension
all the things that i've tried to hide
all my thoughts are just useful thinking
you found time to think of me
guess it's true what they say in this lifetime
you just might find the thing that you need

you say we're moving forward
faster than we really know
the laughter slowly takes over

i won't hesitate no more
it cannot wait
i'm sure
no need to complicate
our time is short
it is our fate
i'm yours

a thousand times i've failed
still your mercy remains
should i stumble again
i'm caught in your grace

your will above all else
my purpose remains
the art of losing myself
in bringing you praise

my heart and my soul
i give you control
consume me from the inside out
let justice and praise
become my embrace
to love you from the inside out

everlasting
your light will shine when all else fades
never ending
your glory goes beyond all fame
and the cry of my heart
is to bring you praise
from the inside out
my soul cries out
