Well I'm sorry kids, the songs they wrote about you just aren't true.
I'll tell you this much I never wanted to give up on you.
Everyday when I woke up, it was you that made me try harder.
Every night when I laid down, it was you that made it all worth wild.
Although my love for you will never truly be gone, the names and dreams for now just don't belong here anymore.
And to the one who helped share these names, I can forgive but forget I will never do.
Just next time you do this to someone, don't tell them "it's not you, it's me". Try and find that morsel of love we shared and be honest.
Now my to my kids don't think I've forgotten about you. From here on out I'll work harder everyday and grow with love everyday and find someone that truly believes in how much you all mean to me.
Until then goodbye for now.
Until then may you grow into a love I soon will know.

Eagles Wings
You are the eagles wings that we sing about.
How is it that the eagle's wings have grown sick?
Your faith is like something I will never know

when superman catches a cold.
stomach beating itself senseless
heart pounding
mind wandering
blood rushing
tears flowing
fever rising
body shaking
The future distraught
...superman has a cold
only can superman ever know he has one?
see superman trained himself to always think he could carry the weight of the world.
after all nobody else wanted to right...?
Superman ignores the things you and I pay attention too, like a cold. in fact he doesn't even realize he has one,
because he's too busy doing things for others, cause it's all he knows...the only problem is that superman doesn't understand that one person can't carry everything.
Superman met lois. A woman who was more alive then even himself. She was passion,fire, beauty and brain..the worlds deadliest weapons,
When superman showed lois that he would always be there for her,,,he forgot to listen that she would do better,
he promised to take away the pains of yesterday so should she never be held back.
again he forgot to listen.
for she would be the one to push him and help him live.
(superman heard all the words and loved them and believed them, only he never really listened)
only problem is...superman didn't listen.
When superman caught a cold, he didn't listen.
Lois had enough and let him suffer. For the hurt wasnt in the cold. It was that he didn't listen.
Without you there is no me, without you i'm going to sit here with a cold.
(...I promise I will never bring you hurt again. I lost what i had and I promise I will always listen. I'm not like the guy who caught that cold. I'm the guy that listens to make sure it's no more...)
without you lois, I'm only a boy.
with you the sky is the limit.

One day
One day I'm going to wake up and be able to breath.
One day I'm going to not feel blame.
One day I'm going to not see faults that don't exist.
One day I'm going to have someone tell me thank you.
One day I'm going to find out what I should be doing
One day I'm going to get married
One day I'm going to have kids
One day I'm going to be appreciated
One day I'm going to teach
One day I'm going to change people's lives
One day I'm going to leave a foot print
One day I'm going to die.
One day I'm gong to heaven.
These days are long overdue. I'm young, i'll give you that. My life experience may not be a broad as others, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have more value. I shouldn't know some of the things I know. I shouldn't have to do some of the things I do. And the most scary part of all of this, is that I KNOW, if I didn't do it, nobody else would.
I knew J.M. Barrie had it right. never grow up. It's the worst thing of life.
Now that I'm well on my way. I want these days more then ever. You once gave me hope, that's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I take it back, you are the best thing to ever happen to me. These days are coming. I love you. And i'll never stop. You'll always be my first pick. It's you over any.

Merry Fucking Christmas
Here i am. Sitting at a table with the family. All is well. The food is great, the wine is flowing. Everything is exactly as is should be until, the resident butch of the family decides to open her fucking mouth in protest of something I so strongly believe in. First before I get into the story, lets just all agree that at a family get together, especially on christmas, you keep your own fucking mouth shut at the table, regardless of personal feelings. It's simply common courtesy. Especially when you are a guest in my house. Just keep your mouth shut. PLEASE.
So i was talking about my economics teacher and how he so very strongly feels that China's influence over our economy is almost too much. My professor pointed out that Chinese students have had a bit of a take over in top American Universities. So far from my college experience, I'm going to have to agree with him whole heartily. This is simple fact. China sends students to the USA to observe the competitors and learn from them creating a kind of lop sided world economic situation. Just like in the olympics, people come into our country and take advantage of the resources that SHOULD be made more readily available to us citizens. For instance, a kid with a 4.0 from a US high school should be put into a US college such as UCLA wayyy before a foreign student with a 4.0. It's quite simple. Take care of your people before you take of other. it's a simple fact of life.
Please tell me if i'm wrong.
The point is. You dont disrespect someone's hero, especially in that persons' own house. simple truth.

DP: Q and A
What problem/issue is Jesus addressing in the form of a question?
Jesus is addressing the problem as to why did the village feel obligated to help and provide for the knocker at mightnight, the petitioner, and what made the village honor these specific values? Why is this the correct way to level instead of being morally selfish? What makes this system produced by the poor peasant farmers a representation to the Kingdom of God?
What is Jesus answer to these questions?
The village formed after they were somewhat secluded from the elite. They were the ones at the bottom and recognized that in order to stay productive and alive they needed to work together as a total community. They produced a sepecific way of living and values to abide by in order to stay a successful community.
The village was based upon reciprocation and honor.
They would not be selfish and they would provide for all. So when the petitioner came at night in the need for bread he was given it based upon the communities values. The traveler, though a stranger, was cared for because it was a value within the village to provide for the traveler with open arms in the best way possible. They recognized that if they were going to step on each others toes and try and out due their community they would ultimately be exlcuded once again. By funnctioning as a productive community they are far more advanced socially and economically than the elite.
