new project

in conjunction with this blog, i am starting a new one titled 'life is liturgy.' i know, i know, it's not like i can hardly keep this one up and running, much less have time to pursue any serious readership. but, as you may have noticed from sporadic posts, the idea of life as liturgy is one that i find deeply profound. here is the thesis of my new blog: "the idea of life as liturgy is one that has haunted me for several years now. at the core, the idea is simple; that the daily ebb and flow of life constitutes a rhythm of ritual that entwining the body, mind, and soul in such a way as to transform life into liturgical action."

the colors of my life.

blueprints, black ink
white dress, silver ring
red brick and trim.


these are the colors of my life.

What Happened?

sometimes life is hard.
but i think that death is always harder.
especially when there aren't many answers.


Life can't be that bad for anyone.
I know you hate this world, but please put down your gun.
Believe me, no one wants to see you dead.
Just start a new life and forget the past instead.
And it's okay, if you never, forgive me.

What happened?
I saw you way back with your friends.
They left you, they broke you, they ripped you apart.
Worst of all she broke your heart, it's not your fault.

What happened?
Your parents loved you so much.
You're bleeding, and crying, and screaming out loud.
There in the corner with it figured out, don't give up now.

Life can't be that bad for anyone.
It's not so easy to say that now that you're gone.
Someday I will see you again,
And we'll both be in heaven not thinking about what happened.
