its a hollywood summer.

i am still wearing a coat and i carry an umbrella with me everyday.

all i can do is wait for better weather.

no guilt in life. no fear in death.

there in the ground His body lay
light of the world by darkness slain
then bursting forth in glorious day
up from the grave He rose again
and as He stands in victory
sin's curse has lost its grip on me
for I am His and He is mine
bought with the precious blood of Christ.

isn't it a little too late for this.

take all your reasons and take them away

to the middle of nowhere, and on your way home throw from your window your record collection they all run together and never make sense but that's how we like it, and that's all we want something to cry for, and something to hunt.

you know you have a permanent piece of my medium-sized american heart.

if you had only come around again then i...

two things:

1.

2.

i'm obsessed.

so... i think i am literally in love with ryan gosling. literally.

i hope it's going to make you notice.

i haven't done one of these in a while... enjoy... if anyone is even reading this anymore...

currently:

-tan with lighter hair amongst pale dark-haired northerners

-listening to the new explosions in the sky, rick ross and grizzly bear (blue valentine soundtrack) on repeat

-obsessed with foreign films

-reading lots of articles and books about critical media literacy

-yoga.running.spinning. and repeat

-downloading mixtapes (pusha-t, fear of god rules!)

-cant get enough of tv shows where you vote (ie american idol)

-green tea with honey and raw almonds

there is just somethin about the name.

sometimes i go places while on the internet and i have no idea how i even got there- one thing leads to another... we have all been there!

so, i stumbled upon this video (don't make fun). it took me back to church in high school- we clearly had some soul! anyway, as silly as this video may be, i found myself having a moment with God. kirk franklin says two things that are so good : even when we take God for granted, he does not treat us as our sins deserve and even in my imperfections God is still perfect in His grace and mercy. that's good ya'll.

so if you are into gospel, watch this video and have some church!
