Saw Regina Spektor last night.
She was wonderful.

It' Friday ...
and so far I'm not in love.
It's only 9:04 but already a few crappy things have happened.
1) got into a big fight in the bathroom with my sister. We both picked on each others' weak point. I made her cry. For some reason I laughed, even though I felt like crying too. She called me crazy.
2) at the coffee shop by work i got my butt half grabbed by a guy we'll call S. He came in for half-hug that turned into a butt graze. gross.
All this before I even stepped into work. What else will happen today!?

Jumper
Today it took more than an hour to get to work --and it was almost all traffic. (Normally it takes 25 minutes) About 15 minutes into the traffic a sign said "Expect Delays, Accident at 94 and 5 North.
About 35 minutes later I was merging onto the 5 North from the 94, expecting to see a huge accident. There was none. Instead I saw a woman standing on top of a bridge. Is it ironic that I was also listening to Third Eye Blind's "Jumper" about this time? But unlike the song, I was not urging this woman to step back from the ledge.
The bridge ...if you look real close you can see the woman standing on top, to the right of the palm tree.
If I remember correctly I said something a little more like "F@#$, Jump, B#$%^!"
Wow! Mean, right?!!!! I'm not proud of my road rage, but I think most of you would have similar responses.
It turns out that this woman has been threatening to jump since 1:30 this morning! WHAT?! So I wonder, why is she still there!?!? Why are 6-8 lanes of traffic still blocked for her?!?!! Can't they just tranquilize her and pull her off the bridge?
That's all ---just a little drive-to-work story. Hope your morning drive was less hateful. :)

circle of life
Today I am listening to "Circle of Life" from The Lion King soundtrack on repeat. It's amazing. I'm inspired to live a better life.
Here's the youtube video link. You owe it to yourself to watch it, at least once!
Also, just came across this --Psalm 96:
Sing to God a brand-new song. He's made a world of wonders!
Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea, take the news of his glory to all the lost,
news of his wonders to one and all!
For God is great, and worth a thousand hallelujahs.
His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap; pagan gods are mere tatters and rags.
... Bring gifts and celebrate, bow before the beauty of God,
then to your knees -Everyone worship!
... Let's hear it from the sky, with earth joining in, a huge round of applause from sea.
Let wilderness turn cartwheels, animals, come dance, put every tree in the forest in the choir --
an extravaganza before God as he comes, as he comes to set everything right on earth,
set everything right, treat everyone fair.

pandas and punctuation books
If there was any doubt before (come one, there had to be some!), it's all gone now. I am definitely a nerd because today at the library (yes, I go to libraries on Saturday) I checked out a book on punctuation ... and started reading it ... and guess what?! I enjoy it!
Here's the book. We'll see if my punctuation gets any better. :)

Coffee Shop Pervs
On Monday afternoon I walked into my favorite coffee shop, the one right across the street from work, to order an ice tea.
Mr. Cafe Musician (the one who sits at the counter every day recording music and waiting for his big break) walked up to me, put his arm around my shoulder and said, "You got me sick."
"What?!" I asked.
"You got me sick when we were making out," Mr. Cafe Musician says.
"What the hell are you talking about. We've never made out and we're never going to make out," I saw.
"Well ..." he stammers. "Maybe in my dreams."
Then Mr. Cafe Musician tries to kiss my cheek --
"No way," I say.
Where do they come up with this crap?!!?

i'm back.
Hi.
It's me again.
It's been about a month and I think I'm ready to return to blogging.
Today's topic: being pursued.
I've been a Christian since I was 8 years old. It happened at the Del Mar Fair in a little Bible story tent (not creepy like it sounds). The decision to put God in charge of my life was simple: It made sense. It still makes sense. However, it's been 15 years and what still is not simple is figuring out how my life should look. Following God is a lot of work and most of the time I feel confused. So, I've decided to ask God something: Please pursue me.
I know the Bible promises that if we pursue God we will find him. But right now I really need God to find me. I want to feel wanted by him.
I'm not sure if this quote is relevant to the topic, but they said it in church today and I really liked it:
"God is present to us in the most destructive aspect of our cultural captivity." ~Robert Mulholland
