When the mind runs circles around the body.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I am so excited. stoked. roused. fervent.

!!!!!!!!!

Some guys and I started a side project and jamming tonight was so freaking fun. SO freaking fun. It's a crazy, crazy sound-hard stuff, fast stuff, half stuff, southern stuff, breakdown stuff-it's SWEET!

I am so excited for it to progress!

YES!

So fun.

My mind is freaking stoked.

My body, however, is feeling poopy.

My Ulcerative Colitis has really been bothering me the past few days.
It odd because it really hasn't bothered me this much for a really long time.
I've slacked a little on my pills, but even when I stopped altogether in the past, it didn't flare up like this.

Maybe I'm just eating weird.

Goofy.

Garsh.

It's okay though, because I am utterly blessed with so many things.

I am so thankful for the situations that God has blessed me with.

I have a great room situation: great roommates, great hall, great friends in dorm. It's great.

I have a great education situation: great classes, great professors, great classmates.

I have a great friend situation: great faith, great variety, great friends.

I have a great job situation: chill work, consistent hours.

I have a great major situation: films in the works, films working on now, film ideas.

I have (2) great band situations: T3R is always amazing, this project (killroy??) is lots of fun.

I have a great country situation: freedom, democracy, luxury.

I have an amazing God: (everything).

I am really blessed, and I don't think I realize this enough or act on it enough day-to-day. It's silly because I complain about the littlest things, yet I am truly, truly blessed.

Today for example, was a blessed day. Certainly had some weird points, but overall was great.

I got to sleep in, Speech class was fun (didn't get to give my speech yet though), skipped all but the end of math and was able to squeak in to take the quiz. Old Testament was productive (I got a lot of homework done, sorry Talley), dinner was very awkward not in a good way but in a I'm feeling sick way, hanging out was fun, watching dodgeball was fun (sorry ref I was a smartalec to, but that was also very fun...and you kinda deserved it), and jamming was really freaking fun.

A blessed day. A few not enjoyable things, but that's perfectly alright, because I have it really good, and those few not enjoyable things would be amazing things to many other people.

I am blessed.

I feel like I should simply read and quote a Psalm, because I just want to praise and thank the Lord for all He has done in my life and the blessings He has given me.

So, I'm going to post Psalm 30 for your enjoyment, and perhaps you it will bring you joy in the morning!

30:1 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,
and you have healed me.
3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;
you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.

4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
and give thanks to his holy name.
5 For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
7 By your favor, O Lord,
you made my mountain stand strong;
you hid your face;
I was dismayed.

8 To you, O Lord, I cry,
and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
you have loosed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!

Praise the Lord, today is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it!

I'm excited for tomorrow and for what the Lord has, I pray that I can truly recognize just how blessed I really am tomorrow and not take everything for granted.

Woo!

p.s. Good morning 408'ers!
