No Day But Today

I have been thinking a great deal of late about judgement. Why do we judge others? I wonder if it is not simply a defense mechanism, but rather security. If we can see flaws in others, surely we will never flaw in ourselves, right?

Wrong. I feel sometimes almost as if I have been trapped in a bubble where everyone was raised to see others flaws but blind to our own. I hate hypocracy and this whole thing has been driving me up a wall. It is actually quite tragic that the human psyche is able to ignore it's own flaws and weaknesses. Who more should we be criticizing than ourselves? At the same time, the past is the past. Once it is over, it's not really worth worrying about anymore or beating ones self up about. Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be easier to be a less complex organism... if I were and amoeba, I would never have to worry about any of these things.

*Sigh* Ah, me. Well, on to brighter and better things =) The HP lock-in was quite brilliant... even if we didn't get to bed until 2 and had to get up at 5. And the moshpitting/kareoke-ing at CFL was quite the excitement. Although, by far, the best part of this weekend - hand's down - was getting to see Michael. He is just about the most stunning person I have ever met. Why God blessed me with someone as amazing as he is, I may never know or understand. He can ALWAYS make me smile, he is intelligent, dedicated, hilarious, loyal, patient, and loving. I wish I had better words quite honestly - indescribable may be the best word. When I am with him I cannot help but think that this must be how God wanted all life to be from the very beginning. For all of you whom choose not love, or pass up the opportunity due to arrogance, I pity you. I think, perhaps, a life without experiencing love may be a creuler fate than death.

Lyrics to I'll Be - Edwin McCain

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
And emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth.
Tell me that we belong together,
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

[Chorus:]I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed.
You're my survival, you're my living proof.
My love is alive -- not dead.
Tell me that we belong together.
Dress it up with the trappings of love.
I'll be captivated,
I'll hang from your lips,
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

[Chorus]

And I've dropped out,
I've burned up,
I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

[Chorus:]
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life....greatest fan of your life.
