monday nights on global



i used to think that prison break followed by heroes was good, but now monday nights on global have gone from awesome to freakin' awesome. prison break, heroes, and 24 all in a row?! good thing i'm not in school anymore. bah hah.

the craziness starts at 8pm. i'll see you at the tv.

relient k | be my escape

I’ve given up on giving up slowly,
I’m blending in so You won’t even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate
This one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know to live you must give your life away

And I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because

I gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I’m giving up on doing this alone now
Cause I’ve failed and I’m ready to be shown how
He’s told me the way and I’m trying to get there
And this life sentence that I’m serving
I admit that I’m every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house all the while You hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because

I gotta get outta here
Cause I’m afraid that this complacency is something I can’t shake
I gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging You to be my escape.

I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess I’ve made
And all I’m asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can’t ask You to give what You already gave

Cause I’ve been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I’ve been locked inside that house all the while you hold the key
And I’ve been dying to get out and that might be the death of me
And even though, there’s no way in knowing where to go, promise I’m going because

I’ve gotta get outta here
I’m stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I’ve gotta get outta here
And I’m begging You, I’m begging You, I’m begging
You to be my escape.

I fought You for so long
I should have let You in
Oh how we regret those things we do
And all I was trying to do was save my own skin
But so were You

So were You

happy new year everyone. :)

do you think that jan 1st sets the stage for how the rest of the year will turn out?
hope not, or else i'm in for a bumpy ride.

from me to you...

google people = creative geniuses

from the olympics to chinese new year, you can always tell when it's a 'special day' by looking at the google homepage banner.

exhibit A:

"happy birthday edvard munch!"

i'm always so impressed by their banners, and today...well today is no exception. how the google people come up with this great stuff is beyond me. here's how my happy birthday edvard munch banner would look:

"happy birthday edvard munch - please don't be offended."

...and this is why i'm not part of the awesome google people creative genius team. heh.

give me my picture back



i don't know why, but for some reason, the first time i saw this commercial last year there were freakin' tears in my eyes. t e a r s. i kid you not. it's hard enough holding it together when the grandpa pulls out the picture of "right wing" son, but when his grandson scores and he announces it to everyone in the stands all proud and everything...omg...

freakin' timmys and their freakin' coffee commercials. *sniff*

anyway, i was watching tv the other night and it came on again. this can only mean one thing. winter's coming/here. that, or the olympics are on again.

...and suddenly i have a craving for donuts.

snowdays



the more snowflakes created between now to the end of the year, the more money popular front will donate to the salvation army. (and who or what exactly is popular front? honestly, i have no idea. all i know is more flakes = more money given to the salvation army, and that can't be bad thing.)

make a flake, make a difference.
dang. i should be a slogan creator.

click here to be part of the snowflake-making goodness.

the worst kind of blogger

i switched over to blogger beta because usually anything associated with google is pretty good, but after seeing how useless the switch was, i really wish i didn't. and now i can't go back. stupid blogger beta. oh yah, and i guess my archives knew how bad blogger beta was because as soon as i switched over, they ran away and now they're gone. please come back.

don't do it. don't switch to blogger beta. consider yourself warned.

ok, i really need to stop procrastinating. haha. :P

two months in...



so i've been interning for about two months now and even though the pay sucks crap ($0/hr and no, that's not a type-o) i've generally been enjoying myself. most days work doesn't even really feel like "work" which i suppose is a good sign. haha. :) in retrospect, not getting into grad school was a huge blessing in disguise. sure there are days when i wonder what my life would have been like if my own plans for myself had become a reality, but at the end of the day i'm glad things turned out the way they did. i guess, at least for now, He has plans for me in this field.

there are still times when i worry about whether or not i'll be able to find a job after my internship is over, and other times where the thought of working as a music therapist scares me for some reason, but there isn't really anything i can do about it at this point. the only thing i can do is take things as they come, know that He is looking after me, and trust that things will be ok.

twenty-three and still silly

to the greatest boyfriend in the whole world,
you deserve nothing short of the greatest day ever.
happy birthday justin! :)
