| Sent in my application today! The hardest part is actually completing it. The next hardest part: the wait. I've been kind of awol the past weekend so it's good to have this weight lifted. I even skipped playing Settlers of Catan, and you know how much I like that game.
Other applications to come soon though. Can't rest for long. Just a breather.

| I think words were meant to be more than just mere words. I hear hi's, goodbye's, thank you's, how are you's, you're welcome's, and other words all the time. Is it what was really meant or were they said just because of formality? It's hard to read in to it, and maybe it shouldn't really be done at all. Of course, words can be piercing so perhaps these mere formalities were meant to help. But wouldn't it be nice if the words were the same as the intention and the meaning behind them instead of contradictions? One more thing to accept.

| Been listening to this song. "Closer to Love" by Mat Kearney. Just learned it the other day. Easy song. I like the melody. That's what usually draws me to songs. I like how it sounds, then I look at the lyrics. Here are the lyrics...
She got the call today, one out of the grey
And when the smoke cleared, it took her breath away
She said she didn’t believe 'it could happen to me'
I guess we're all one phone call from our knees
We're gonna get there soon
If every building falls, and all the stars fade
We'll still be singing this song, the one they can't take away
I'm gonna get there soon, she's gonna be there too
Cryin' in her room, prayin' “Lord come through”
We're gonna get there soon
Oh, it's your light; oh, it's your way
Pull me out of the dark, just to shoulder the weight
Cryin' out now, from so far away
You pull me closer to love, closer to love
Meet me once again, down off Lake Michigan
Where we could feel the storm blowin'
Down with the wind
And don't apologize for all the tears you've cried
You've been way too strong now for all your life
I'm gonna get there soon, you're gonna be there too
Cryin' in your room, prayin' “Lord come through”
We're gonna get there soon
Oh, it's your light; oh, it's your way
Pull me out of the dark, just to shoulder the weight
Cryin' out now, from so far away
You pull me closer to love, closer to love
Cause you are all that I've waited for all of my life
(We're gonna get there)
You are all that I've waited for all my life
You pull me closer to love, closer to love
Pull me closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Closer to love, closer to love, closer to love
You pull me closer to love
Pull me closer to love
I like the message of this song. It tells us that we're going to face tragedies one day, that "we'll get there soon." I can definitely relate when it says "didn't believe it could happen to me." Many events that people face that they never thought could happen to them happen to them, and they are left to face reality. I've definitely been in that situation, and I can attest to certain times in my life when I've felt lost, without hope, and without love. From what I've read on the web, Mat Kearney is a Christian guitarist and that his songs are inspired by his faith, leaking out in the phrase, "Prayin, 'Lord Come Through'." (also "it's your light, oh it's your way") It may not be a phone call, but whatever tragedies that may come, turn to God. He is love. He is the one you've waited for all of your life. I like the part "I'm gonna get there soon, you're gonna be there too." We're all going to face tragedies. I'm going to face one soon. You're going to too. Maybe we can face them together? Encouraging support. " Pull me out of the dark, just to shoulder the weight" | | |
| I like this song...
Non lo diro col labbro
Non lo diro col labbro,
Che tanto ardir non ha;
Forse con le faville
Dell'avide pupille,
Per dir come tutt'ardo,
Lo squardo parlera.

| It's been 10 weeks since I began p90x. I skipped a week because I felt so tired and J skipped some days too so we added a week onto the second phase. I think the second hardest part of this workout is to find time. It really is a commitment. If you have a day-trip, there really is no time to complete the day's workout. The hardest part of the workout is not the workout itself but the diet. It says no fast food, no soda, no coffee or tea. That's about as far as we go with the diet. However, we don't necessary follow that. No fast food, no soda, no COFFEE, and no tea? near impossible. It would take a miracle. It's really hard to do cold turkey.
Anyways, i feel really good. I fit into pants from hs. Nice. I feel like I've achieved something even though I haven't finished.
5 more weeks. The Last Phase.
