Dance Party

Last week I made tortillas with my Design Studio team. Meagan brought us some sort of tortilla flour and we mixed with water, mashed, and skilleted. I give props to the idea. As we only had one rolling pin I started shaping my tortillas by hand into letters. I made a "J" for Josh, but he thought it was, and I quote, "A ghetto tortilla" so I gave it to Katie. Overall I would say we had a lot of fun and got pretty messy...see the picture to the left. That was Stephen modeling the great tortilla dough.

This past weekend I went to a leadership conference with one of my organizations. It was in Michigan, quite a trek from Nebraska. However, we passed a city called Climax on the way there and back which made the entire 14 hour drive worth while. Of course Allie and I had to get out to take pictures near Climax. I personally think it turned out excellent.

Driving through Iowa (yes, I spent 28 hours of my weekend in the car so bear with me) we saw the most amazing sunset. The colors were absolutely gorgeous...of course my camera isn't of the quality needed to get a picture of this while moving so I got the picture on the left. The colors still kind of shine through but I think it turned out either way. This is the best picture of Iowa I have ever taken ;)

"Welcome Home"

You could've been all I wanted
But you weren't honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the surest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would've endured my world

Well you're just as I presumed
A wolf in sheep's clothing
Fucking up all I do
And if so here we stop
Then never again
Will you see this in your life

Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs

You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played letter,
I'll drill through your hands
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
With love and devotion, I'll die as you sleep
But if you could just write me out
To neverless wonder... happy will I become
Be true that this is no option,
So with sin I condemn you
Demon play, demon out!

Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs

One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
I wont do anything for you
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
Before I hope you die

How can you silence someone when all they know is how to speak?

You don't deserve to be happy
You haven't earned the right to be ok
You take someones life and get away
If looks could kill...
Well baby there aren't any ifs about it
Your looks are a shotgun blast to the face
Quick, painless, and messy
Full of blood and nasty un-dressing
As quick as you came
It turned into the blame game
Fool they all said
Well all "good" things can end
The only question is...
Can you walk away
And is he safe

NOW YOU CAN BE DONE WITH ME
