Current mood: curious
Confession breeds Revelation.Or is it the other way around?
Confession: Although I am morally opposed to whiny punk bands (see my profile page), I like...nay...love the new Hawk Nelson single. It's called The Show, and it's a really good song. I first confessed this when I caught myself reaching for the volume button as this song came on and, instead of turning it down to a sub-audible level, I cranked it up and sang along. I was horrified.
Revelation: Perhaps punk music does have something to offer those of us who have reached our post-pubescent years.
Confession: I have pre-judged punk and punk-kind.
Confession: Despite my jesting toward certain friends and family members who watched the show last season, I have begun watching Deal or No Deal...regularly.
Revelation: While I still refer to the Deal or No Deal Girls as "The Hussies", the show has actually proved a fun and entertaining way to fill an hour.
Confession: I must now admit that Howie Mandel is not the creepy, old bald man I once presumed him to be. I will NOT, however, adhere to the idea of someone close to me that Howie is sexy (KIM).
Confession: Nashville hasn't been the amazing land of opportunity I thought it would be. I can't seem to meet the people I need to meet in order to get the job I want to get.
Revelation: There isn't a Road to Perfect in this life. Whether I am in Decatur or Nashville or Canada, life will always ben far from perfect. I will not be satisfied until I am finally where I was created to be...in the eternal presence of the Father.
Confession: I need to stop searching for fulfillment and happiness and continue pursuing God. He has promised that if I do seek Him, everything else will fall into place.
Confession: I have just committed the ultimate follicle sin: I chopped my own hair.
Revelation: I won't know until tomorrow morning for sure, but I think I did alright. I first received this revelation when I got a haircut from a spiky mullet-wearing man at Wal-Mart (see my blog about Rod Stewart), but needed a friendly reminder.
Confession: I am not the kind of woman who requires a $75 haircut every 4-6 weeks...even though I am going for punk-glam, right Keeks?
Confession: I have been holding a grudge with an authority figure ever since I got to Nashville. I labeled this person as distracted, arrogant, lazy and inconsiderate.
Revelation: I just found out last week that this person is battling cancer, and is dealing with all of the emotional issues brought on by a sudden and unexpected illness.
Confession: Maybe I need to take a better look at myself before I begin pointing the finger at someone else.
Confession: I miss my friends and family more than I ever thought possible.
Revelation: Did I bring myself to Nashville only to discover that matters of career and ambition bare little significance in the absence of loved ones? Maybe absence really does make the heart grow fonder. Maybe my job is unimportant as long as I can be surrounded by loved ones.
Confession: The relationships I thought had grown stale and old are the ones I have clung to the most when everything else around me is foreign.
Confession: I love McDonald's Monopoly!
Revelation: I know the food is horrible for me, and I know that my chances of winning anything other than more food are slim, but I have some kind of strange addiction.
Confession: I think it's just an issue of collecting those little game pieces and attaching them to that little board. But then in January, you look at your board and count......73 times I have eaten McDonald's since October??!!!?!?! That's disgusting!
