As requested...

Well, as requested. I am writing a blog.
So today was Amanda's b'day!! YAY!!

When I was driving home from the mall, I stopped at the Irving/Golfcourse light and noticed a bunch of birds flying off of a roof. So you may be thinking, "So what, Evie, birds fly off of things all the time...", but I noticed that when one bird flew back to the roof, all of the other birds eventually did so, too. Now, I know all about the fact that birds have a dominant, leader bird, just like most other animals have a dominant leader animal, but this particular instance of birds all flying back reminded me of people. I'll explain:

We have all, at some point in our lives been really gung-ho about something. We are jazzed and excited about progressing our passion and for a while, we really fly. But then, one person makes some comment about something like, how what you are doing is ineffectual or a waste of time, and we slowly drop down in our flight. Then another person adds on to what the last person said and we fall even lower. Eventually, when everyone is falling back down to there stagnant, resting place, it is really hard to maintain that flight of love for something that you think/thought could change something for the better.

So I have given you a bunch of "bird" analogies, but my point is (this applies to me, even more than you could possibly know), that even when all the other people in your life begin to mucky muck the thing that you feel passionately about: pray for strength, be resilient, and keep on trucking for the passion that God has put in you.

Alrighty, so that my promised post. :)

P.S. Funny how God can use a pile of birds to make you think, huh?

You can't shut me up and you won't shut me down.

So, for the past week, I have been having a seriously emo time. I just can't believe how ridiculously emolicious I was being, the sad part was, there was nothing licious about it. Just plain old, obnoxious. That's what it was. Oh well, life goes on and I tell you one thing, it's a good thing that God loves emo people. Anyway...
I have some song lyrics that I am gonna write here because I like them, so yeah. :)

PLENTY OF PAPER by EISLEY
Something's growing under that wing
I think a face is dawning
Oh no the books are growing faces
and you're lost quite classically
With your nose in a book
and it seems so fitting
and perhaps this is the end we've sought after for so long
and perhaps now it's done
Cause we've found all the dire dreams
of men and machines and
Turned them all around our
Identical hands
Composing our commands
I cut the moon in half
and stuck a piece through my hair
It made the back of my head glow
Golden yellow and then I took
Ten stars on sticks and placed them in my small metal
Bucket and I gave the other half of the moon to you
Ooh, so you wouldn't forget me while I'm gone
Cause we found all the dire dreams
of men and machines and
Turned them all around to
Enjoy them and benefit ourselves
Our paperback books, our charming looks
Our identical hands
Composing our commands
And oh my love
We can live on the sun
and wouldn't we be attractive
Riding in our shiny motor cars
With eyeglasses full of stars
and plenty of paper for scenery paintings
'Cause we found all the dire dreams
of men and machines and
Turned them all around to
Enjoy them and benefit ourselves
Our paperback books, our charming looks
Our identical hands
Composing our commands
