I'm going with my mom. Lauren Fredman and her mom are joining us. It's going to be stellar.

I Heart Bumper Stickers

2009-01-15T17:12:00.001-08:00

I live in a college town. Bumper stickers are kinda our thing. Okay, okay I guess you can add being a democrat and loving beer. Those are college kid things too right? Right.

So anyway, bumper stickers. I have two:

The apple logo and ZTA.

I think my bumper stickers are classy (as classy as bumper stickers can get). The reasoning behind this is that they are both white. Also, they are both on the same side and the appropriate size. However, thinking further I should remove the ZTA one. I like Zeta, but not enough to have a bumper sticker. Maybe I'll put it on my scooter. Yeah, that might work...

What I'm trying to say is that I'm not THAT tacky for having a couple of bumper stickers. In fact it is my right as a college student to have two (soon to be one). However, I think two should be the limit. Here is photographical evidence to support this theory:

However, this is the bumper sticker that I would like to put a spotlight on.

Do we not already coexist? I just think the person who created this bumper sticker thought they were clever because it was possible to spell out the word coexist with spiritual symbols. I can picture him, proudly telling his friends he had the idea for the bumper sticker that would change the world. Make all earth's problems dwindle.

coexist |ˌkō-igˈzist|

verb [ intrans. ]
exist at the same time or in the same place.

Maybe I just don't get it... I don't know. I'd just like to think that we already do coexist. Tolerant? Not always. Perfect harmony? Never.

Every Tool is a Weapon if You Hold It Right

2008-10-01T10:18:00.000-07:00

Last night I had the expected pleasure of watching Ani Difranco scream out passion filled lyrics.

Notes on Opening Act: I might enjoy the opening acts more. I root for the underdog and bask in the glory of the undiscovered. She (I unfortunately forgot her name) was delightful and her performance was memorable. Something that caught my thought was the way that she spoke. Musician's voices seem to be passive and whimsical. More often than not this means that their tone is lazy, scratchy, and low.

Notes on Ani: The old man that accompanied Ani was fantastic. He plays his white marshmellow framed guitar as if her were the principal violinist in a symphonic orchestra. Feeling way strum his hips.

A Parallel Universe

2008-09-28T21:05:00.000-07:00

There is another realm that we must constantly be aware of. This idea of a parallel universe comes straight from the Bible. The other world can break into our world. Paul and John have written about this realm.

If Music be the Food of Love

2008-09-23T20:04:00.000-07:00

I love listening to music with my sony headphones. I enjoy them more than the standard iPod headphones due to the fact that they cancel all the sound around me except for loud laughter. My favorite thing to do is watch the people I love have conversations around me and smile, telling each other stories and sharing thoughts. I love being able to do this while listening to music on full blast. It is as if I have my own personal soundtrack to my own intimate movie.

PLAY ON!

Adventures

2008-07-02T11:46:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday I had some extra time after work before I had to arrive at Coyote Hill. I went down a few random roads and saw a couple of deer and beautiful houses. The best part was visiting a place called Alpine Park. It is mainly a place where they have weddings, but there was some beautiful scenes. I swung on a wooden swing. There were thousands of various colored butterflies.

This is the day that the Lord has made...

2008-06-24T21:15:00.000-07:00

So today was great. I had great conversations, drank lots of coffee and had many epiphanies. So many little things went right. I have such a joyful heart and (without being cheesy) I owe it all to Him...

"i thank you God for this most amazing day."

Lord, today you showed me that: I need to work harder on my friendships and listen more. I should be joyful in everything I do; this includes homework, cleaning, class... I must spend more time with you Lord, I want to fall in love with you. It is the little things that you give me every day that strengthen my love for you continually. Thank you for all of this and more.

Tonight, my biggest epiphany/realization is that I am leaning towards convergence for my sequence. Since I am not yet in my sequence (praise the Lord) I can change my mind. I became aware of the fact that I pretty much know how to do everything that includes the area of convergence. I have made podcasts, used garage band, designed pages, used indesign, iMovie, and photoshop... And if someone asked me what I would want to do as a job I would answer with "I want to write my own story, take my photo for that story, and lay out the page for the whole thing." So it only seems realistic that I do convergence no matter how much I despise broadcast. Now one might think "but Bethany, you are already a junior you don't have time to do all of this!" Well here is the thing, I'm nineteen. I won't be twenty until September ninth. I am technically suppose to be a sophomore. So why not take my time? I have been ahead my whole life so I think it is time for me to be behind. I want to take my time, build relationships and learn as much as possible instead of flying through this time in my life.

I will keep praying about this. I am excited for what God has planned for me, this could get interesting.

They say first times are memorable.
