I don't know why Lucifer thought there was something he was missing out on. Director of Heavenly Music. I'd take that title. I bet it was delicious to hear that music. Delete, rewrite: I bet it will be delicious to hear that music.

I'm listening to drugs
How is it that life's simplest and purest joys come in the strangest fashions? I ran into a link to a site that lets me stream Relient k's new cd and it has brought me great, albeit sleepy, contentedness for the better part of two hours. I hesitate to go to bed because it is like a drug. I have to listen to it because it's so good. And the next time it just might be even better.
For a long time I thought that I was a really bad person for not listening too closely to the lyrics of songs. I was afraid that I should be more like Jones who seems to carefully weigh the value of the lyrics before committing to liking the song or not. (I don't mean to make him sound too thorough of a scale. But seriously. He's a superb guy. Whom, BTW Wally, I haven't seen or talked to in a while...hmm...and I never got back that paper he gave me. Despicable friendliness right there.) Things changed a few days ago when I realized that while I listen to a fair share of secular music, the most meaningful songs to me, the ones that I return to time and again, the ones that make me stop and listen and live more heartily afterwards, they are always ones that have quality lyrics. Many of them are labeled as Christian songs, but some are not. Either way, the songs are inspirational to me.

Sometimes I just don't have anything to add because the blog was just that good, and I relate just that much. This is one of those times. So really, I shouldn't write anything, I should just appreciate it and move on. But something inside me pushes me to comment, as if I'm jumping up and down and yelling, "Yeah! Yeah! Me, too, Chris, me, too! I feel like that, too!" What a lame-o. =) Yer cool, I like this here blog.
i'm glad that you're writing your blogs. it helps me feel connected, even though we aren't neighbors anymore, studying togeher, etc. when life settles down again, and i'm back in town, let's watch a movie or eat pasta. milieu.
Music moves my soul too Chrees. "Heavenly music"...I'd never thought about that before. I just got chills.
Also, I love that picture. And the line. Love it.
Sometimes I think that you are trying to keep the truth of you being a genius secret my being quiet often times. But if you're going to write blogs like this, everyone is going to know.
