An update on me...

I know its lame, but I keep posting lyrical introspective posts but here's another...

"I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from You
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do

What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light

The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

Honesty becomes me
There's nothing left to lose
The secrets that did run me
In Your presence are defused
Pride has no position
And riches have no worth
The fame that once did cover me

Has been sentenced to this Earth

Tell me, what's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation
Cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light

There's no other place that I want to be
No other place that I can see
A place to be that's just right
Someday I'm gonna be in the Light
You are in the Light
That's where I need to be
That's right where I need to be"

Dc Talk - In The Light

Yeah, an oldie I know...

This is me...

Not so super, not much of a man.

Where I'm at right now... cue the music:

"So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside

So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won't disappear

So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
We're here now, oh

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Sparks will fly as grace collides
With the dark inside of us
So please don't fight
This coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark"

Not sure how I feel about my decision...

I just signed up for a twitter account. I have debated (in my head) liking twitter for several months now. I finally signed up because I found out you can keep up with it from your cell phone. I also was told you can do facebook and myspace from you cell, but myspace got trashy years ago and facebook just has way too much info on it. I don't want to post pictures and I don't want to keep up with friends request. I hardly have enough time to blog as it is yet alone keep up with facebook.

Anyways, since I can twitter from my phone I thought I would try it out. Pretty much a play by play of what I am doing throughout my day. And yes I do realize no one really cares about what I'm doing that much but this is a trial period. If I don't like it I can always just kill the twitter account.

Anyways, check it out.

Peace Out

It really IS a wonderful life, Clarence!!

So, my job sucks. Just thought I would start off with that good news. Why does my job suck? I just don't like it. Whoa? Who said anything about "liking your job"? I know, it could be worse... I could be back in Now Zad (although I really enjoyed my visit), the point is I need to suck it up. So to get away from work, I went for a run. I thought I would clear my head as I try to get ready for the LSUX I mean LSAT (which is tomorrow). So I grab my 30 pound pack (I added more weight from my last run) and took to the streets. Why is it though that it always seems to pour buckets of water from the sky when I run with my pack? So I started off on my run (without Capt Cue-Ball, who is in Vegas) and it wasn't raining, just a nice Florida afternoon. Clouds; yes, but nothing ridiculous. Windy; yes but wind doesn't always mean rain.

Anyways... 100 meters into the run it starts sprinkling. Then with each step it progressively rains harder and harder. No big deal, i can do wet, but can my iPod?? Hmmm, I wonder. I guess we will just have to see, so I keep running. I ran for 30 mins and I would like to say I did 4 miles, but the truth is it was probably only 3. I could REALLY feel the added weight on my legs and about 2/3 into the run I hit a wall and my legs decided they were not having fun anymore. Whoa? Who said anything about "fun"? This is about working out, not about fun. Just kidding, I love the misery. I love the pain.

So as I am pushing my way through the lead legs, pouring rain, a pack that keeps rubbing my back raw and it hurting my shoulders... I realize just how wonderful life is. Gee Clarence, Bedford Falls really is super! I know a bit sappy, but it is true. I just kept thinking how lucky an individual I am. I have a great family, a great job (well a job, anyways), I’m in great health... what more could a man ask for.

And yes, Clarence just got his wings...

Super Man Returns

Well I have returned... well to be honest I have been back for a while, but I haven't had much opportunity to release the inner super man, physically speaking that is. Capt Cue-Ball and I went for a run. I decided to run with a 25 pound pack on my back. Why, because I can. That's why.

We ran 2.5 miles to the gym and at the gym played ultimate football for an hour, think ultimate frisbee but with a football. For an hour we ran up and down a basketball court playing continuous football. I scored 6 touchdowns, threw 4 TDs and had several strong defensive blocks. And after the hour of continuous running on the court, we got to run all the way back to work. In total we ran 5 miles on the street (with a pack) and probably 2 mile playing football. Oh yeah, did I mention it was pouring rain in central Florida today? That's right, when most people stay indoors and avoid getting wet, we continue to live life out loud. A very wet, fun run... never to be forgotten.
