Inevitable

The Bible

MAKES SENSE:

There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Four which I do not understand:

The way of an eagle in the sky,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the middle of the sea,
And the way of a man with a maid.

MAKES NO SENSE:

And He said to them, "Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you..."

Old Polaroid

I picked up some out-of-date Polaroid film the other day. The quality is lacking, but the faded look makes up for it. I've been staying with this more than generous family for way too long now. Now, there is definite reason for me to find new dwellings...

These Days

These make for long, difficult days.

Also known as, "Dating a girl that lives in New York City is rough".

Confession/Notice

If ever I spend any time at your place of residence and am in need of waste relief, I am sure to notice, and correct if necessary, the way your toilet paper is loaded. It's end in front, not end in the back.

PTL

Deep green hills whose shoulders fade, into the gray tall wet grass.
Whose flesh makes fools of grazing sheep, whose fleecing makes a fool of me.

And who shall I blame for this sweet and heavy trouble?
For every stupid struggle?
I don't know.
I could buy you a drink.
I could tell you all about it.
I could tell you why I doubt it, and why I still believe.

But I can't say it like I sing it.
And I can't sing it like I think it.
And I can't think it like I feel it.
And I don't feel a thing.
Oh no - I don't feel a thing.

And who shall I blame for this sweet and heavy trouble?
For every stupid struggle?
I don't know.
I could buy you a drink.
I could tell you all about it.
I could tell you why I doubt it, and why I still believe it.
And why I need it.
And what the pharisees don't see.

And we'd have more drinks. We'd speak of so many things.
But I don't know you, and you don't know me.

Revelry

I present to you the best song from the radio friendly, forthcoming Kings of Leon album.

What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine
With the fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the light so high don't wanna come down
To face the loss of the good thing that i have found

Woo hoo hoo
Woo hoo hoo

In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if your ever around
Even though it was me who drove us right in the ground

See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry

Gonna run baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind at my back I won't ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along who had a hold of my heart
But the demon and me was the best of friends from the start

So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry

And I told myself for the way you go, it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods in the dark of the night
Palest of the old moonlight
Everything just felt so incomplete

Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry

Dear New York City

Dear New York City,

I had an awesome time with you earlier this summer, even if only for a couple of days. I am excited to get the chance to spend more time with you in the near future. I'm sure we'll have loads of fun, smell each other's smells, try to rob one another blind, and go to a Yankees game together.
However, there is a pressing matter at hand. You have made off with a woman I am overly attached to. I understand you have only had her for less than a week, but it seems much longer to me. You see, I am stuck here in a boring little town and there's not much to do but think of her swimming in your wonderfulness. I'm glad you've given her work, but would like for you to leave her a little time to get things organized. Having gone from seeing her daily to next to no time at all, I am becoming agitated with you already.
Here's how you can help. First, have someone in that city return an e.mail concerning the types of employment I am seeking. I have written the most pleasant of letters to employers all over the city. None have deemed it necessary to answer. If I can get a response, I believe I can weasel my way into an interview. That would allow me to see you as soon as possible. Having an interview go well would allow my to permanently bask in your beauty and more importantly be with the one I love.

Don't be a jerk about it, you'll only further the northern stereotype. Just return my letters and calls. Thank you so much for giving me the chance to miss someone so very badly.

With Kindest Regards,
Israel

P.S. I understand it takes time to find work amongst you, but this is why I'm writing personally. You know, to see if you could pulls some strings for a small time admirer.

Apart

Late Summer, Late Morning: Cades Cove in The Great Smokey Mountains National Park

After a weekend trip to the Smokies, Cara packed up most of her belongings and I took her to the airport today. It hasn't sunk in yet, but I bet in a week I'll be ready to move to New York and live on the streets.
I have had a blast in and around this stupid town with her. Our reuniting is in my hands once again.

Even though these lyrics are darker than her parting really is, they still seem to fit.

My old man always swore that hell would have no flame
Just a front row seat
To watch your true love pack her things and drive away

Self Depreciating

It bums me out that no matter how hard I try for the rest of my life, I will never be as cool as this guy or have my picture taken to even look as cool as this guy. Oh well...
