"My want to put on my tutu cause my SO dancy"
"My see them lights on dare BUSES" (bushes)
"Does your want to make cookies or sumpin'?"
(after ten minutes of zipping up stolen cookies in a dora suitcase we're not buying @ TJ Max)...."Giddyupgiddyup let's go...."

Roman Rap

I wanted to share the lyrics to rap one of my freshman did for a project on ancient Rome:

This is the Roman empire
Hannibal running around setting cities on fire.
Augustus be fighting so hard trying to get his power higher.
He was doing his thing since the start of Pax Romana.

Yeah, get it, we're talkin' bout the Senate.
The branch of government that was here from the beginning.

Be patient, here comes inflation. Engineers are building the city with no hesitation.

Now Paul was a holy ghost writer
First came the gospel and then the gladiator
Peace maker followed from a dictator
Then Constantine came later

Civil war's about to start 
Patricians are coming through
Plebians need to group
to get their special needs
they form assemblies
begging for more money and telling the senate please

Democracy controls the roman empire

Nitro

Is it wrong to peg people while examining spiritual gifts? Because we are positively confident to peg Ashlee Knight as the exhorter of all exhorters ever to exhort.

Contradictory Wisdom


Which do you think is a better piece of advice:

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and expecting different results.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Can't you try things the same way and expect different conditions yielding different results?

Today

Sometimes we bring it on ourselves, sometime we are born into it, sometimes it is inflicted upon us, but that never changes the beauty our God can make from ashes. To him be all glory and praise forever.

iPods

To me, the definition of a dysfunctional romantic relationship is when one of the members so devalues themselves, so misunderstands what they should expect from the other, that they believe they deserve a relational currency that bears value below a reasonable standard.

A quick observation: America has a dysfunctional relationship with the Apple iPod.

Most recently our family's 4 gig iPod mini  - a pure token of love and support from my college friends - has "finally" bit the digital dust; the battery will no longer hold a charge.

"c'est la vie," I told myself - remembering that my Cousin Kurt has already been through 8 pods in the same amount of time.

errrr (car brake noise - rant transition)

WAIT A MINUTE.  We were looking at the newest generation of the iPod Touch that costs between 300 and 500 dollars.  We considered this and then realized that you could buy a TV for this price.  Image if you and all your friends found this awesome TV that cost $500 dollars and then one by one they all died within the next 2 years.  C'est la vie?!

All this to say: Have you seen the new iPod Nano with Genus technology and more colors!  I guess you can just do that if you've got it like Apple.
