taste is not to be beheld by another

staying up late can be bad for your health. listening to Pink Floyd is good for you. I've been listeningt o a lot of the music I used to listen to and remembering why I liked it in the first place. I remember so much more about my past, good stuff and bad. I fear this is a bad sign, wanting to listen to it all the time now. I fear backwards is the way I'm headed. It sure seems that way. Funny, I feel this way now, at a time when I could be making some big changes in moving forward. odd.
I plan on cutting my hair off this week. Short, not off. I'm all nervous and excited. There are a lot of people who know me now at work who have never seen me without my beard or long hair. I guess my Jesus look-alike days are coming to an end. Hopefully it's just an external thing. Man, I can't wait for this life to be over. Although there are a great many things I really want to hold onto. A lot of awesome music and movies. Well, I won't remember any of it anyway so it won't matter. "the old things will be forgotten".
"take time in a day to think about what we're doing here and ask why"
" look at life itself and thank the Lord for His amazing mind"
"hold your loved ones, tell them you love them. don't let go for anything, they are your family, no matter who they are"
"waste the hours in a good way, don't waste them for granted."
"look up, look out, look down, look around, look in , take it in, this is it, one time. "
" don't wake to sleep, sleep to wake"
" arise to shine on them who cannot rise"

well, it may sound wierd, because I put them in quotes, but all the quotes are from me. I just got caught up with random thoughts and truths last night and put them in quotes so as to bring more attention to them.

I actually was thinking of me when I wrote the sleeping one because I've been staying up to 4am almost every night and I'm getting really depressed about it. And felt sure that God did not design us to do that to our bodies. He designed sleep as a restoration thing not an end in itself. We are to live life awake and alert, "arise oh sleeper, rise from the dead and Christ will shine on you" was the scripture i was thinking about. I did think that maybe you would like that one too.

Congrats on cutting your hair, you'll have to post pictures. Are you going to donate it or not cut that much off? (You have to have 10 inches)

i like ebing awake and all, and imagine i can be of greater service when i am, however i wish i could get more sleep. being awake is an addiction.
