endurance

Consider it all joy, my brothers, when YOU meet with various trials, knowing as YOU do that this tested quality of YOUR faith works out endurance. But let endurance have its work complete, that YOU may be complete and sound in all respects, not lacking in anything.

James 1:2-4

am i weird for quoting the Bible? i ask, but i don't know if i care what you think. no offense. i guess i just want to reaffirm that i'm not a weirdo, and i recognize the somewhat offbeat nature of my post.

well. that's all i've been meaning to put up lately. it's been almost two weeks since my last post and i do think of blogging. i just never think i have anything interesting to say. i could go into "why this scripture in particular" breaking it down to what it means to me and why i think it's so important...but i'll let you decipher that for yourselves.

whatever. sigh.

Get Your Leather On

so i havn't really been in a posting mood as of late.

i'm still not really 'inspired' to write anything profound or revolutionary. i guess i'm not really expected to anyways. it's just a little blog right. who cares.

well i wanted to leave another video...i don't know if you feel cheated when i do this though. i guess i am trying to 'cheat' you though; in the sense that i don't like letting people in to whats going on in my head, in my world over here. so i let you watch other peoples worlds. sorry.

i messed up though in trying to keep people out. i think i let some people in over the weekend. you might be reading this and you might be one of those people. and to them i only say...don't use it against me. :)

what is it about secrets that scare us so much? and by 'us' i mean 'me'. what is it about appearances? we obviously know that no one is perfect, i think we can all agree at least to that. so why do we (once again i'm not trying to project my emotions/opinions on you, it's just easier to open up when i use plural nouns) try and make people believe that we are 'perfect' or at least not as screwed up as we truly are?

as for me i can truly say it's hard for me to get close to someone who hasn't been through hardships, who hasn't seen as many downs as ups. i value empathy. and for the things i've been through, at least in my 23 years and especially in the past 2-3 years, that is one thing i'm glad i have, or at least i think i have...empathy.

well i don't know where all that came from...i was really just going to talk about my upcoming new hairstyle (i'm losing hair, don't worry it'll stop when i learn how to deal with my anxiety, so what should i do, short? long? different color? rocker chic? bangs? classy?) and leave a YYYs video (which i still will)

so feel free to comment on anything that strikes a cord with you about this blog...or don't comment at all...i'm fine.

oh and in regards to this video...it's for all my friday night cronies...i will always (semi)remember that night when i hear this song....ohhh it's so good!
i especially love her cute little coy smile through out the video...she looks just like i feel when i listen to this song :)
