Words
Timing
Preparation
The Heart

There was a extremely graphic and gory display about abortion and such today in front of the academic plaza (rather it was yesterday the 23rd)
I was reminded of something Matt Skains put in his blog along the lines of pro-choice:
"You want choice? Make the choice before you sleep with him."
(This statement obviously doesn't apply to rape situations; but all for all others)
Along with sexual activity, I feel comes a consequence of getting pregnant.
If you are going to be sexually active, you are at risk of becoming pregnant. (Simple, huh?)
I kind of liken abortion to emailing a professor to get out of a test or a quiz that you were not prepared to take (obviously because of choices you made instead of preparing).

Howdy everyone
I'm sitting in my friends place at Callaway - and i'm listening to Daniel Weathers and Steven Miori sit and figure out music - listen to some songs and jam - w/ daniel on the keyboard and miori on his alvarez - just jammin' - and its so great - what a gift -what an amazing gift - music is - its another language - i'm quite sure -
i would give alot - close to an arm and a leg to be able to read and write and play music - on any instrument - i'm so serious -
i just wish that so bad - my heart just really really wishes that - badly - anyhow - i guess music is not a gift of mine - i'm thankful that i have gifts of my own - i love: loving people - i love hearing their stories - their thoughts and passions - and i love discussing things- i love drawing out of people - their views - their thoughts about certain topics - b/c if they don't realize that they have some - then when will those thoughts - and opinions about other things grow?
idle attitudes and opinions are wasted sometimes - other times they grow in value
dig it?
i dunno
i really miss sand volleyball - really really bad - i love playing it so much - and its tough b/c miori can't come play at the rec and sometimes - alot of times - people's schedules clash about times to play - i'm just glad that i'm at least on a co-rec team on tuesdays- thats gonna have to suffice for now
express your opinions - challenge them - b/c only when things are challenged -they grow.
yep

Sometimes you are put in situations that you can't do anything about.
You can pray and make your attitude as positive as you can.
Outside of those two things - there is ABSOLUTLY NOTHING that you can do. If you dwell on that - then you will be frustrated.
In situations i'm in that i can't do anything about, i'm trying to do the 2 aforementioned things.
I suppose sometimes I/we need to GET OVER IT.
