| wikipedia says it best, the best way to describe vonnegut: one who has wild leaps of imagination and a deep cynicism, tempered by humanism | | |
| bill clinton is speaking at the next commencement? no way, that is just not fair <- that, my friends, is called the 'bitter' face. | | |
| and so it is, the year is slowly coming to a close. a year ago, i was trudging through the michigan snow to go to, everywhere except class it seems like! now i'm in warm virginia with a load of transitions under my belt, and i feel: amazing.
we're all so lucky to be in our 20s, most of us have matured enough to realize that our future is dependent our actions today but we can also still up look at the tall and massive buildings and tell ourselves "that one is gonna be mine in 20 years". we can watch a romantic movie and still dream for our fairytale love to come true. we can hang out with friends and still have tons of time to develop deep and meaningful friendships. we can still act goofy, still wear our hair long, still wear low cut shirts with mini skirts, play video games for hours, throw our clothes around the room, shove through packed bars, gossip about celebrity breakups, and argue the theories of time travel, drunk.
trying to figure out what the hell in the world our purpose is in life is hard, our first losses are hard, first successes are tintillating, first heartaches are painful, first anythings are crazy confusing. but...we still have the blessing of:
the unsureness of life and the hope for an amazing future that awaits. it'll all happen, whatever it might be, but im planning on enjoying every moment of it and hopefully you will too!
merry early christmas and happy new years! <3 | | |
| Maya Angelou said it well with these words: When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'." I'm whispering "I was lost, now I'm found and forgiven." When I say... "I am a Christian", I don't speak of this with pride. I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide. When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not trying to be strong. I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on. When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not bragging of success. I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean up my mess. When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are far too visible. But, God believes I am worth it. When I say... "I am a Christian", I still feel the sting of pain. I have my share of heartaches so I call upon His name. When I say... "I am a Christian", I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner. | | |
| in virginia, getting settled. didn't realize the extent of how yuppie dc nightlife is. adams morgan is alot of fun, young crowd, very governmental. i better read up on politics if i want to hang out in this town! went to ikea to ikeafy my room but thats pretty much the extent of what ive done so far. explored the ballston area while helping david look for housing and its pretty sweet, very corporate and urban for arlington county. i like clarendon better though. speaking of which, my roommate is awesome, went to dinner with my roommate, her boyfriend and david in clarendon tonight at this nice italian place. clarendon seems like a blast, very cute and eclectic, just the way i like it. i'm slowing getting excited about the place. the more i find out, the more i'm getting to love va/dc. now, let's see what the future holds for my new job! | | |
