Something to think about..

Mis Maudie stopped rocking, and her voice hardened. "You are too young to understand it," she said, "but sometimes the Bible in the hand of one man is worse than a whiskey bottle in the hand of- oh, of your father."

I was shocked. "Atticus doesn't drink whiskey," I said. "He never drunk a drop in his life- nome,, yes he did. He said he drank some one time and didn't like it."

Miss Maudie laughed. "Wasn't talking about your faither," she said. "What I meant was, If atticus Finch drank until he was drunk he wouldn't be as hard as some men are at their best. There are just some kind of men who- who're so busy worrying about the next world they've never learned to live in this one, and you can look down the street and see the results."

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way
Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...
Oh, my God
Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain somethingIt's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride

I heard this song, and i loved it immediatley, and so i thought i'd put it on here

so i got home from California on sunday night, and it was such an awesome time. It was awesome to sit around lounging on a beach chair, absorbing some sun, and listening to some music, and just spend time with my family and God. It was also fun that Emma and Jenna were there.. so many good times. But i've been stressed out, which you can tell from my last posts.. but this vacation just put my guard down, and leveled my stress, and i feel.. absolute joy. mr bruins was asking us (in math for devotions) when the last time we truly felt joy.. i couldnt remember.. i mean i remember feeling absolutely happy and estatic, but i didnt remember the last time i felt joy.. but i feel it now. i just feel the closest to jesus i've ever, and i mean i just feel joyous! what else to say.. lol. but its just awesome, i dont seem to worry right now about whats goin to happen in the future or whatever did happen, im just living in the moment (its really stickin to me.. this whole livin in the moment thing!).. peace, joy, its what i feel, for the longest time in my life im finally feeling these two things! thank God!!

Out of the confusion
The static and the noise you got my attention
It made me wanna live
Live its the last moonrise
Scream just like none is there
Lose all of my defenses
Hold you touch you love you, like its
A very last moment in time

anyways.. california was fun.. i got to go to disneyland.. yay! i love disneyland.. thats my meeting place with God guys.. so wierd! i feel him there.. i feel like a little kid.. i feel free spirited, i feel peace, joy, and its awesome! thats disneyland for me. yeah..:)

g'night
