I really do need to find a life...
really, I will.
Heck, there is so much to do around this house and it would definitely give me something productive to do, but well, I'm not in the mood. Tomorrow is THE day. I will clean and organize both of my rooms which are total disasters, I will find room for all the junk I brought back from school, and I will try to finish cleaning out the attic.
In the meantime, here is some major randomness...
"People in modern society seem to be chameleon-like, never wanting to be individual, always wanting to please the masses. Becoming a faceless, bland, brand of every diluted idea that culture can come up with. We can become more than we know, if we seek out the mystery of God and his blueprint for our lives." - Kevin Max
Tonight I wish to touch the stars.
To swing the moon in my cradle
To pull the sky around my neck.
To embrace the night in it's expanse
The sleeper has awakened to walk
through this universe of blackness.
No artist alone tonight
is left without a brush in hand
~ Kevin Max
Gosh, Kevin reminds me of Dominic Monaghan for some odd reason...maybe it's the hair or the nail polish he wears or just his weirdness, hehe, but he sounds (and writes music) like John Lennon, reminds me of Dominic in the looks department, and he loves God (which is always a good thing). :)
More quotes from Kevin's book, "Unfinished Work"...
"Okay, so I'm a bit of a freak. Okay, so I really don't fit in. Maybe I'll be ostracized by most of the country when they find out I'm a Christian. And maybe I'll be ostracized by Christians when they find out I want to have an impact on society. If that's the price I have to pay for being myself...bring it on."
"Christians sometimes think that every believer thinks as they do, without taking the time to understand the individual and what makes him tick."
"Don't ignore or make fun of people whose beliefs differ from yours. Listen to them with respect and compassion. In time, you may build a bridge of faith that will change their lives."
"But it seems to me that before we can preach salvation to people, we've got to at least try to understand them as individuals with a history and a heritage all their own, deserving, at the very least, our respect."
"To realize our destiny is to realize our greatness. We can overcome the limitations of this world because we have access to a higher power."
"All of us can reach the stars if we look to God to lift us up when we're ready."
"When I look at what the world describes as a desirable lifestyle, I feel like laughing just to keep from crying."
"I'd like to hang out with Marilyn Manson for a day and discuss 80s music." (he also calls Manson, "bad theater" lol).
This is just laughable...
Your Dominant Intelligence is Linguistic Intelligence
You are excellent with words and language. You explain yourself well.
An elegant speaker, you can converse well with anyone on the fly.
You are also good at remembering information and convicing someone of your point of view.
A master of creative phrasing and unique words, you enjoy expanding your vocabulary.
You would make a fantastic poet, journalist, writer, teacher, lawyer, politician, or translator.
