why can't we just live

sometimes there is a little voice
but not inside my head
i'm listening inside for it
it never comes. it's dead.
but then i get a sense of this
and chill for this and even that
i'm running and it's alive
then i stop to catch my breath
it's nowhere. it's dead.

find it please
the things we need
the things we ever thought to be
and we are living and it's now

steep

Tread round your aching sides
Great mountain fall on me
again
I came across this way
When I was once young and free
I came across this way
again
And asked who I would be
…
Heat rose and embers fell
I died so I could see

so i am crazy

When this semester ends at dear dear Patrick Henry College place, I will find myself once again employed by the greatest production company in Silver Spring, Brainbox! So I thought to myself, working full-time is very long and takes up a lot of one's time. This winter I know I will be working. But I must make the most of it. there is much to look forward to. Reading the Bible, free time to breathe, working with Jen T!!! Andrew!!! and for Bill!!! Also, there might be snow, watching people on the Metro, Christmas shopping, gettting into some good indie, going to indie concerts in DC, and watching movies/hanging out on Friday nights, etc. i know that it will be fun :)


Here’s how I hope it will look, now that I carry a SmarTrip card and a loooong winter coat:
