“How can we fake this anymore? Turn our backs away and choose to just ignore? (Some say) Some say it’s ignorance. It makes me feel some innocence. Some say it takes away a part of me, but I won’t let go . . .”
So I changed the tag line. Life is still intoxicating, but I wanted some change, and this Sum 41 song is something I’ve been listening to a lot lately, specifically for the lyrics that I really like. “Why is there no reason we can’t change?” I’ll let you think up your own answer. I have two answers, but I’m not sure which one is right.So not much has been going on here. I’ve started working more and more. Won’t be long before I’m completely into the grind. Other than that I’ve been doing lots of babysitting and house work. Reading too. I finished Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy (again. I read the Golden Compass around 7th grade). The Golden Compass is an amazing book, but the other two were really disappointing. It’s like he forgot what “show don’t tell” means. Not to mention his anti-Catholic and anti-religion undertones became a little too much. By the third book he presented God as a weak angel who lied to us and pretended to be God when he really wasn’t. It was a little much for me. Not to mention the leader of this evil Kingdom of Heaven is Enoch, who happens to be a personal hero of mine who was very much involved not in evil but in righteousness. Oh well. I’m now reading Dune again. It’s been at least 5 or 6 years on that one too.
I have also, at the Bishop’s recommendation, started reading the Book of Mormon again to see if I can finish it again before my mission. Wow my mission is sneaking up on me like a thief in the night (that I have known was coming for 19 years). It is exhilarating.
Hmmm. Other news? I’m coming to visit SHS on Wednesday. Let me know when and where if you want to run into me. I’m already planning on meeting CHO at Artfest at noon.
P.S. Who’s coming with me to see Jupiter Sunrise with Punchline, This Day and Age, and June. at 5:00 on May, 25 2005 at Bottom Lounge (3206N. Wilton, Chicago, IL 60411) Cost: $10 (I’ll pay if you make it a date
)
“. . . Tell me why can’t you see it’s not the way. When we all fall down it will be too late. Why is there no reason we can’t change? When we all fall down who will take the blame? What will it take?” (Sum 41).
