we/fall/down

sometimes, we can forget who we are.

i found my parting gift from ACF and popped it in tonight on a whim. although undergrad was a mere two years prior, it feels like an eternity ago. how quickly have i forgotten what i learned at ACF, losing track of the love that surrounded us there.

i always did regret my time at western, in that i never gave ACF my all. i always held back, socially, spiritually; my commitment was not there, nor was my undivided heart. my friends were amazing, and the fellowship was an inspiration and community that i cannot describe adequately in words. if i could go back and do it all over again, i would embrace ACF much, much more.

but God always gives us second chances. and the lessons learned in my past will not go unheeded.

the hardest part isn't not knowing what's next.

it's knowing full well what you are capable of, and holding yourself to those expectations and responsibilities. to not run away from who you know you are, or what God has in store for you, and especially who you know you could be. even if that means working harder, or sacrificing, or committing to things that you would rather not commit to because that might make your responsibilities that much more tangible.

growing up is such a strange phrase. i mean, we're in our mid twenties and most of us have full-time jobs already. we're grown ups. but at the same time, we still have so much more to learn -- hell, i plan on growing up until the day i kick the bucket. we'll never stop growing as people.

but some steps are bigger than others. but you gotta take one, before you can take the next -- regardless of how scary those steps may seem.

waiting for the 7:18

and in perhaps the news of the day:

Caffeinated Doughnuts!

yes, i enjoy this song way more than i should. i'm not ashamed to say it.

you know that scene in Big where tom hanks goes back to the fortune telling machine and wants to be a kid again?

come onnnnn non-busy days ahead!

i should be asleep, but i'm up comparing my new koss-ksc75's to my senn hd477's. they're actually pretty close. it's almost a crapshoot at this point, i'm debating just using them to listen to different genre's of music. the fact that i have these portable suckers for my mp3 player now is icing on the cake though. it honestly is the best $20 i've spent in many many moons.

it's funny how happy a pair of $20 headphones makes me. i feel like i accomplished something, as if i'm starting my own little budget audiophile headphone collection. anyways, now that i'm done nerding it up, i'm going back to my music.

it's gonna be one of those long, pensive, quiet nights where i give my last.fm charts a much needed workout.

i'll be tired tomorrow.

it'll be worth it.

worlds apart

i always end up back at this song....
