update.

I felt like I hadn’t blogged a lot lately. And I’ve been inspired a lot lately.

So here’s an update on my life. Since I haven’t updated this thing for real since February.
I got tickets to see Coldplay in June.
I got tickets to see U2 in October with Muse.

Now for more recent.
I’ve made some new friends.
I’ve lost some old friends.
I’ve become nostalgic about mission trips.
I’ve realized how much I need to go to Africa.
I’ve realized that I need to know what I believe in, which will get it’s own blog sometime soon. I wish I was better with words.
Starting tomorrow, I plan on doing a 3 day fast along with Peter Gabriel and joining Jon Foreman who did it earlier this week. I will try to blog about it, if not I will at least journal and update it after. I’ve been having strange dreams about Darfur lately, and I really feel like this is something I should do.
Join me in the fast. We can make a difference.

Haiku do you?

New Orleans

Oh the city lights

The streets alive with music

Artists all around

Viva La Vida

Look at the revenge

They all war with each other

When will it end?

Sinatra

Oh so much talent

The music alive in him

Beauty in perfection

Vampire

Beautiful cold creature

Pale cold and stronger than most

A killer in the end

Costa Rica

It kinda goes to the tune of "the good left undone" by Rise Against....but kinda not...

It looks like nothings grown for weeks

I found a flower at amongst the weeds

It screamed at me to let it out

I wrapped my fingers around the stem

Pulled until the roots gave in

I looked down at the petals in my hand

Cracked and broken like this land

It begged to go back to its home

It needed life it needed growth

So I pushed my fingers through the earth

And sent the flower back to where it came from

But now I sensed the coming rain

Staring through my window on the bus

Then it started to pour down

On this deserted land

all is full of love

I wish I wrote thsi, but sadly, I didn't.  I do love this song though...It's by Bjork, and Death Cab For Cutie did an amazing cover of it...

You'll be given love
You'll be taken care of
You'll be given love
You have to trust it

Maybe not from the sources
You have poured yours
Maybe not from the directions
You are staring at

Twist your head around
It's all around you
All is full of love
All around you

All is full of love
You just aint receiving
All is full of love
Your phone is off the hook
All is full of love
Your doors are all shut
All is full of love
