“it is a merciful God who calls. He knows you and where youve been. and still He sees what no other person sees - your beautiful potential. even if you say, but i am not up for the task, i have too often failed. He does not falter. He knows the greatness for which you have been called. and He simply responds, united to Me, you call do all things.”

performed this at open mic today, errrr i guess you can say yesterday cuz it is now wednesday. i was hella nervous but i guess it turned out well from the feedback i got. love you roomie. enjoy :)

this… this person i know… theyre ummmmmm quite indescribable
and i want to write bout, speak about, say out loud these certain qualities that they possess
for their quirkiness stands out best
but theyre much too unique to bind down in any poem, any picture, tag line, video or intriguing story
its actually impossible to place this person in one set category
for this person… well this is the type of person you’d say,
“yea, this would only happen to you.”
youre the only person who ive personally witnessed
pull a van door off its hinges with the slightest of ease
but then again, ive never seen anyone pull a door off of a mini van
and shocked by this fiasco, you simply reply “its ok…
it happened earlier this week.”
and its interesting that when you laugh, you can’t read
maybe because your laughter is so uncontrollable
so contagious, so frequent and available at the most inopportune moments, it makes me smile
this person… this person is sure to make you laugh
with her weird gestures, out of place sounds effects, and grunts.
her beer pong defense is guaranteed to throw you off
her qualities and actions are soo exclusive
if you want, check the blog, she dances in a batman suit
this person is truly one of a kind
and no amount of words can fully describe who she is
shes remarkable, unusual, peculiar, and easy to converse with
shes fun, shes strange, shes all of the above
her eyes show she cares more than you can care to know. no homo.
shes pretty. shes pretty modest. shes not harsh, nor mean
shes sitting right over there…
and her name is Loreene

the sweet: this weekend was the shit. won 1st place in spuf @ friendship games. and had hella fun. kicked it with my b-squared at the club & sjsu hella juiced. mmmm. lost my voice but came back with an 8-ft. trophy (pics to be uploaded soon).

the bitter: hella sick. i dont know how i came down with this horrible cold. and usually my immunity is pretty good. failed my midterm this morning. havent prepared for my final project to be discussed in my nxt class. & deciding to skip photo to sleep cuz i got figure drawing tonight cuz my portfolio is due at the end of the week, along with 30+ pages of anatomy drawing in my workbook & reversal drawing. havign so much work and being sick does not mix.

bitter sounds like a lot compared to the sweet. but damn that trophy was so worth it. now gotta focus, and make sure i get my shit done. coming home this weekend but already seems way busy. i miss my nbh, but we all busy. gotta make sure all my hw gets done. so time consuming. ahhh the life of a college student.

something i wrote up real quick, just to express how i’ve been feeling lately. i wanna add some more but not sure. and it needs a title.

I’m a little restless and somewhat uneasy
its 5:16 in the morning and the coffee in my stomach feels a bit unsettling
i havent slept yet, not since i woke up this morning
wide awake with the caffeine pulsing through my veins
my mind and spirit drained but i can’t help but stay awake
i wonder what’s going on in your head as you shuffle through your things
i wonder what’s going on in your head as you lie awake in your bed
i wonder what’s going on in your head as you get dressed this morning.
do you say a prayer? do you hope for the better?
i wonder what you’ve been up to and i wonder what’s on your mind
and i hope that time…
well… i hope that time stops for you, even for just a few minutes,
so you can stop to catch your breath
i pray you find the meaning to all this stress
and even though times change, people change, and life changes,
i hope you can continue to see life the way it should be seen: as a beautiful struggle
and although i can’t change your present situation
i pray you realize pain is never permanent, the present is a present
and i will always be here for you, especially in times of desperation.

i wish i could do more than just sit on the sidelines and watch how it plays out…

We are all on a journey to make sense of life, and when it doesn’t make sense, it is maddening to our souls. If you conclude life is meaningless, your story ends before you do. You may never make the connection, but the cynicism, bitterness, despair, and emptiness eating away at you have everything to do with your need to believe in something or someone. As antiquated as it may sound, it’s not that some people choose to live by faith, but that all human beings must live by faith, even if it’s faith in reason.
We all live by faith…
Some people take leaps of faith; others go there kicking and screaming.
In either case, we all find ourselves in the same place. We have to make choices, draw conclusions, embrace beliefs, that in the end are acts of faith. Even if you choose NOT to believe, that in itself is a HUGE leap of faith.

Drowning in the end of the conversation, we might miss the beauty of the middle.
Both the person who trusts in reason and intellect and the person who trusts in faith and intuition, while coming to very different conclusions, are asking the same question: What is true?

Reason and faith look very different but are more alike than we would care to admit.

this is my domo :) slurpee edition…
