1. I am listening to Judges. Gideon is happy. And I need to catch up with my Bible project! :o
2. Been going to a Screwtape Letters study at youth group. It's good. But wow, it's crazy how the things Screwtape suggests Wormwood does to his "patient" really work on me when I stop and think. How ridiculous is it to assume the person knows that what they're doing is irritating you? Little facial movements and sounds in the backs of their throats? They have no idea. Anyway, good book. I suggest you read. (:
3. I went to GoodWill yesterday and bought almost my entire costume for my play (pretty chic), plus a cool corduroy jacket as a bonus. Win! I am excited for our play. Rehearsals are picking up speed and I've begun memorizing my lines. :D
4. I've been so inspired lately. It's great. And terrible at the same time. Because there is always stuff just floating around in my mind that needs to be put onto paper. It's infuriating that I can't get it all out, but it's exciting, because it's like I have all this creativity and inspiration (and vocabulary) tucked away in a bunch of antique drawers. It's that heart-pounding sort of curiosity when one rummages through those drawers, ahhhhh. (:
5. As much stress as has been lifted from my shoulders recently, I've been in more pain than I have been at all this year emotionally. You can probably tell by some of my poetry. Let me get one thing straight. I do not usually write things like what I wrote on my last photo. And I'm not going through what it sounds like I'm going through. It's just, painful when you know someone, but you don't, just for a while, but then they leave because they're preoccupied with a specific individual, and they're surrounding themselves with bad influences and not letting you in and you know you can't do anything about it. You're completely helpless. Empty-handed with nothing to give and no way to give it. And all you can do is douse them in prayer and hope that someone will make their way into their life to speak truth and love to them, because you know you can't do that by any means.
He's my brother, and he's forgotten I exist.
And it hurts.
Want to know how I feel? (Probably not.) Then listen to one of these songs.
Rant: over.

Subpet camera design #15
Across the holidays, our thoughts look to religion and ultimately to redemption, or penitence depending on our outlook. As an opera–lover (I'd just love to go to the Met again), this particular variation looks at life with open eyes as in the Wagner's opera, Tannhauser. I remember sitting in the orchestra section enthralled by the colors of the cyclorama from this opera as the chorus of pilgrims crossed the stage. This opera's theme of redemption spanning across life's journey is architecturally depicted by the bridge cables connecting and holding up the cameras. The street photographer walks on a very lonely pilgrimage like a penitent seeking and convinced only by miracles, or in his case stunning photographs. Here in this mischievous twin sunpet configuration, he is sure to find his way. When your subject on the street looks at you, they will surely feel your pain. Though in the opera the pilgrim's staff is held with two hands, the camera's single handle on the bottom is for one hand while the other clicks the twin shutters. Your subjects on the street will be heartened by the miraculous sprouting leaves of the twin staff, and they will know in their heart of hearts, that they have just had their errant picture taken by a redeemed person.

"I'm finding it hard to believe you
can hurt me so much and still say
you love me. Oh wait a minute now
you haven't said that in way too long
a time. Been no kissing, hugging, sweat
talke, compliments or show of real affection
in along time. Been too many put
downs and degrading insults way to
often. So far I'm dumb, stupid,
a liar, dishonest and extremely fat.
I'm extremely grateful for all the help
you give me but it doesn't give you
the right to talk to me like I'm
a piece of dirt inconveniencing your
life."

"Lo más temible de la enfermedad del insomnio no era la imposibilidad de dormir, pues el cuerpo no sentía cansancio alguno, sino su inexorable evolución hacia una manifestación más crítica: el olvido. Quería decir que cuando el enfermo se acostumbraba a su estado de vigilia, empezaban a borrarse de su memoria los recuerdos de la infancia, luego el nombre y la noción de las cosas, y por último la identidad de las personas y aun la conciencia del propio ser, hasta hundirse en una especie de idiotez sin pasado"
"Poco después, cuando el carpintero le tomaba las medidas para el ataúd, vieron a través de la ventana que estaba cayendo una llovizna de minúsculas flores amarillas. Cayeron toda la noche sobre el pueblo en una tormenta silenciosa, y cubrieron los techos y atascaron las puertas, y sofocaron a los animales que durmieron en la intemperie"

Not really "lovin' it". We've made convenience too easy at the cost of health. Bad choices are easier than good ones. Not meant as a soapbox message, but more as an observation, an opportunity.

Shortly after going to work this morning everything began spinning and I was struck by intense nausea and dizziness. Long story short, after a trip to the emergency doctor I've been diagnosed with vertigo caused by viral labyrinthitis (and apparently that's not a fear of getting stuck in mazes!) out with the iphone and olloclip clip macro lens and run through snapseed for a shot of the meds!
While you are letting your guard down
I will be letting myself go
While you keep running your ship aground
I will be setting myself alight
