Be your own captain

Ambassadors of light
We all still fight the fight
To represent what’s right
The word of Jesus Christ

But there’s been more than one
To represent the Sun
In fact it’s just more fun
That how His will be done

So many ways to say it
That’s how we were created
The old ways are now dated
Some Christians just love Satan

He warned that this would happen
Don’t let yourself get trapped in
Instead be your own captain
And trust your heart to see

Welcome to the Police State Minneapolis

I was just talking with Lorenzo about this last night at the gym. Apparently when the RNC comes to town you lose all your rights, as homes of protesters were raided by police in full riot gear with automatic weapons drawn. Sounds a bit much to me. The warrants used to pull the harassment off sounds like a load of shit as well, some being for "fire code violations" others for possession of molotov cocktails. Last time I checked, peaceful gatherings were guaranteed to citizens by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. There was even a journalist of 20 years arrested because she wanted to know what was going on. Well at least the activists haven't lost their laughter. Hopefully that day will never come.

Ground Control to David Bowie

Hey guys, here I am in Deep space 9 transmitting a signal from David Bowie's nipple!

Just informing the cup community that I am indeed alive and well. Not too necessary considering that I've chatted with Crow and Moose over the last couple of days.

I guess I just felt like sharing with everyone that I'm in love. In love in a way which I've never experienced. As I've mentioned to people here and there, it's magical and both of us have wished for an experience like this. But we're living it. We both feel on a VERY deep level that we're each other's compliments. We have our intuitions about it all, but at the very least we know that we have a solid start for our relationship. We've gotten blessings from family, friends, and co-workers. Every moment I've spent with this woman has been bliss. I've done something right in my life to give myself the opportunity to experience these last few weeks and just kind of innately know there are many more to come.

So I'll be posting less, but hope to post something non-update/love related sometime this week.

2 weeks ago, at our house...

And then Wataru's toilet tank exploded a little bit. Not a good time for toilets around here.

Some things will never change

I know that its my time
I feel it in my heart
For in the dark of night
The sunrise has to start
Against all expectations
A new hope must give rise
For this is our creation
We all share family ties
A part of the beginning
We have all seen the end
Yet we still keep on sinning
Against our kin and friends
Christ told us this would pass
A golden age will come
Were peace and love will last
And all His will be done
The children will all laugh
The birds will sing His praise
Like points along a graph
Some things will never change
