wow.

this story is so stunningly sad.

the good guy finishes last, as he has a crisis of conscience and ends up leaving behind four kids.

Music you never noticed was ...

i have friends in very cool jobs.

my world interacts quite often with music stars, and i have interesting conversations.

for instance, i was talking with the members of animal kingdom, and asked the lead singer about the lyrics i picked up while listening them perform for the group a few minutes earlier... i felt stupid because i hadn't realized the name of the song, and only had caught a few lyrics... he wrote of mephistopheles.

A keyboard confessional...

you guys don't know me, i'm new here.

i'm typing on an iphone (pardon any random weird iphone auto-spell corrections) and could walk home to get to my laptop but i might lose the courage to post what comes to my heart to share right now.

worse and more likely, i'll simply not be able to express what i felt right now... if i wait until i have a proper keyboard.

20:12, 13: i saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened.

john and revelation both say that the dead will be judged according to their deeds.

that resurrection is for those who rule with christ for the thousand years.
