| I haven't written for a very long time, mostly because we don't have the internet at our apartment. But I am going to say goodbye to xanga (for writing purposes) and I am travelling over to blogspot. So check out the new stuff over there.

| You were my ticket outta here
And I was your dream come true
You gave me everything I ever wanted
Except for you
I convinced my self that over don't mean over
And I convinced myself that I could fix it all
Two dreams collided maybe we got too excited for our own good
No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the words all break it
Move on you know we'll be stronger in the end
Now I convinced myself that nothing could ever tear me away
And I convinced myself that we'd look back and laugh at this one day
Two lives collidin' baby
We got too excited for our own good
No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding our breath while the truth all breaks it
Move on ya know we'll be stronger in the end
Hey wait, hey don't you know that this is there is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait, hey don't you wanna hear what I have to say
Hey wait, hey don't you know that this is where the strong go on
And all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Was you
No more - hold on we can make it
No more holding each other while the world tries to break us
Move on ya know we'll be stronger in the end
Hey wait, hey don't you know that this is there is where the whole thing went wrong
Hey wait, hey don't you wanna hear what I have to say
Hey wait, hey don't you know this is where the strong will go on
And all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

| Jubilee is this weekend. Here are my thoughts on this thing. I love Jubilee. I don't feel this way because I think it is the greatest conference ever created. It's good...
I love it because I have had really good experiences with it. I have gone with really great people. The first year that I went there were four of us. I had just become a christian a couple months before and it was the first thing I had ever been to like it. We got completely lost trying to get to the Hilton, we missed most of the opening session. The breakouts were okay. I went to the Paste one where the guy got criticized and attacked and I looked around thinking "what the heck are these people's problems, what did I get myself into?" I don't remember who any of the speakers were and I didn't know any of the music. The experience itself was just really great.
Last year was a lot better. There were five of us. We had to have a CCO-er secretly give us a hotel room cuz our 4th person was going to be late. Tony Campolo and Lauren Winner were the speakers. "Testimoniiiiieeeeees." I got to meet Steve Stockman at the U2 breakout. Then they gave us a special screening of the Second Chance movie. While we were walking over to the movie theater I got something got in my eye and my eyeball got scratched. (The retna, it's detatched I know it!!) I had to watch the whole movie with one eye. Emily tried to perform surgery on me to get whatever it was I thought I had in my eye out. AES had to call her doctor brother to figure out what to do. After lots of water, tears and probing in my eye...I finished out Jubilee being blind and not able to open either eye to see the speakers or the music. Then Branning had really gross smelling burps on the way home and we had to ride with the windows down.
Now as CCO staff I will be attending Jubilee once again. The really cool part is that I get to go with the same people that I went with as a student. As long as we don't get lost, have any medical emergencies or gross smells coming out of people and get to eat rinky dink Pittsburgh pizza, it will be a good weekend.
Here's to the trifecta.

| I want out of this machineIt doesn't feel like freedomThis ain't my American dreamI want to live and die for bigger thingsI'm tired of fighting for just meThis ain't my American dream...I am not sure what my American dream is. I don't know what I want to do. I don't know where I want to do it. But I know that I can't stay here. I am working on getting out. Sunshine, won't you be my mother
Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath
We Are
Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain,
When the shadow proves the sunshine,
the shadow proves the sunshine... | | |
