| So it's been a long time since I've used my xanga site but I have been thinking how I had wanted to get back into over the past few days, and what a better way to get back into it then by helping out Jesusbranded.com.
Jesusbranded.com is a Christian clothing line that is asking it's customers to blog about the company and their mission. I own a few things from jesusbranded and have bought a few things for others as well. I absolutely love the artistic spin they put on the Word. My shirts have sparked a few conversations about my faith. Because the shirts are so unique and artistic people want to hear the point of view of the artist. This is something that I love about these guys, they tell you what their art means! If your like me, sometimes diciphering what the artists perspective is can be a challenge, but jesus branded includes a write up of each shirt.
I think that we can represent God by what we where in a real non-cheesy way. I personally can't stand the cheesy slogans that have been twisted to be Christian like: Jesus died for Myspace in Heaven, or the reeses writing to say Jesus. The corniness goes on and on. Jesusbranded clothes spark real conversation in a less obnoxious way.  So PLEASE support these guys and their vision to spread the gospel through love and clothing.

So normally I would be satisfied with the results of my grades but I feel like I busted my butt this semester and deserved higher grades in some classes. Like that B+ in SWK is killing me because it was an ELECTIVE. I took it because I wanted to. Grrrrrrr. And what's with my GPA being EXACTLY the same? Grrrrr it's impossible to make it go up. Oh well. It's over and I'm happy.
Side note: I leave for Lithuania in exactly 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excited? More like my stomach is churning and I haven't stopped crying.......

In
the Solomon Islands in the south Pacific some villagers practice a
unique form of logging. If a tree is too large to be felled with an ax,
the natives cut it down by yelling at it. (Can't lay my hands on the
article, but I swear I read it.) Woodsmen with special powers creep up
on a tree just at dawn and suddenly scream at it at the top of their
lungs. They continue this for thirty days. The tree dies and falls
over. The theory is that the hollering kills the spirit of the tree.
According to the villagers, it always works.
Ah, those poor nave
innocents. Such quaintly charming habits of the jungle. Screaming at
trees, indeed. How primitive. Too bad thay don't have the advantages of
modern technology and the scientific mind.
Me? I yell at my
wife. And yell at the telephone and the lawn mower. And yell at the TV
and the newspaper and my children. I've been known to shake my fist and
yell at the sky at times.
Man next door yells at his car a lot.
And this summer I heard him yell at a stepladder for most of an
afternoon. We modern, urban, educated folks yell at traffic and umpires
and bills and banks and machines--especially machines. Machines and
relatives get most of the yelling.
Don't know what good it does.
Machines and things just sit there. Even kicking doesn't always help.
As for people, well, the Solomon Islanders may have a point. Yelling at
living things does tend to kill the spirit in them. Sticks and stones
may break our bones, but words will break our hearts....
by Robert Fulghum
Too bad when people listen to things like this, they only impact them for a few moments after they've heard them, maybe even a few days.......and they fall right back into those old rotten habits. Some people will always be screaming natives.

| I never write here anymore. I just haven't had the desire to. Maybe I'll write more while I'm in Lithuania. Maybe not.

| I was looking through all of my subscriptions and I clicked on John's xanga, which led me to his other blog. What is it about reading his words that set me off? I can't stop crying. It's real proof that he did exist. That he was walking, breathing, thinking, that he sat down at his computer to write it. His last blog entry was written 8 days before he died. And it was so normal. There was nothing significant at all. I just want to scream!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did it happen? I'll never understand, ever. I love you John, I always will.
I hate grief.
my heart hurts.
