[procrastination 111]
i'm supposed to finish dinner and get ready for the symphony but this is more fun.
i also needed some spices and picture frames today but a cd of photos and the bourne trilogy (for 20 bucks!) promised better things.
sort of.
five minutes late to my first class. whoops.
got my black and whites back...and the picture i especially wanted is missing.
damn.
this'll do.

avatar is excellent moviemaking and absurd politics. like titanic, it appeals most strongly to the 12 year old brain, the ideal repository for lame platitudes.

...the vision is always solid and reliable. the vision is always a fact. it is the reality that is often a fraud.

only a timorous intelligence lacks self-confidence to the point of believing itself unable to discover anything new, and always follows the paths of others without the audacity to think beyond these limits.

school starts tomorrow.
too much is changing.
not tangibly (yet) but it's lurking underneath everything.

[art of the title]
there's an article here on the opening titles of sherlock holmes.
good stuff.
and of course jamie caliri, who is responsible for lemony snicket's stunning credits, but also that awesome united airlines dragon commercial.

[please just take these photos from my hands]
yay.
i'm excited & i don't know why.
unless....
i talked to abigail & got a decent haircut & put some awesome music on my ipod & prayed for gary & drove halfway to charlotte & did some pushups & thought about some things & hugged some dear people & read some of John & bought a beautiful book & got inspired & watched some football with my family...
oh - also, i bought some photo corners at notebooks & organized some of my film photos in my moleskine.
they look nice & now i want to use my fujica more.
He who is alone with his sins is utterly alone. It may be that Christians, notwithstanding corporate worship, common prayer, & all their fellowship in service, may still be left to their loneliness. The final breakthrough to fellowship does not occur because, though they have fellowship with one another as believers & as devout people, they do not have fellowship as the undevout, as sinners. The pious fellowship permits no one to be a sinner so everyone must conceal his sin from himself & from their fellowship. We dare not be sinners. Many Christians are unthinkably horrified when a real sinner is suddenly discovered among the righteous. So we remain alone in our sin, living lies & hypocrisy.
The fact is that we are sinners!

january is not so bad as it seems, i guess.
got to have one last cup of chai with gary before he's away to school (already!). sad to see him go, but it's a great opportunity, not so very far away & sounds like an awesome school. it even has a flyfishing class. wow.
& lauryl...she's away shortly back to idaho; trying to fit in all we can possibly do before the 14th.
it's extremely satisfying to see my dear people grow & learn & have oportunities to pursue desires & excellence.
it's also nice when they want to come back & share the above with the rest of us. :)
blast. i'm too old to have a short attention span. it's getting worse.
and reading - no discipline for reading lately. whatever music i'm listening to takes immediate precedence.
which lately has been a mix of mainstream hiphop (kanye, timbaland, rihanna) indie alternative (honey trees, civil wars, seabird), & indie punk/alternative/rock (arctic monkeys).
these pictures make me really happy (i'm also happy because i managed to clear up some harddrive space - yeehaw).
as a result of sin, no longer do we attach our inner peace to God who is the definition of wisdom, power, & love & who will never change. no, without realizing what we have done we begin to look for identity, meaning, & purpose & our inner sense of well-being horizontally...things that were not designed to give us peace & over which we have no control become our replacement messiahs. we ask them to do for us what only God is able to do.

[the future freaks me out]
there were a lot of things that sucked in 2009.
to be fair there were good things as well, but the score still remains 14 to 9, things-that-sucked.
doesn't it bother you when life is full of what appear to be changes & the big picture still looks the same? still frustrating, still confusing, still beautiful...
there's still snow on the ground - 2 weeks later. it's in various stages of melting so it's filthy & grey; it looks like a giant scab peeling away from the earth.
sure, it's beautiful when it falls & the idea of sledding & cozy warm indoors is picturesque but, to be honest, winter sucks.
it's the necessary death before life & that is the only thing keeping me from losing my mind.
that & my dear people.
so. 2010.
i'm not holding my breath either way.
