Written while curled up under an electric blanket in August.

Today I experienced what I like to call: The Ghetto Realization
What brought this about? Driving in my car with fabric on the ceiling starting to fall off and my laptop in my passenger seat playing 50 cent. My left foot sticking out the window, and chocolate milk in my right hand. Class my ass.
While driving in style I started to think about John Mayer (You know your love is strong when you are thinking about Mayer while listening to 50) and his lyrics. Such as, "your bubble gum tongue." I never really thought that the idea of my tongue being chewable would be attractive. Yet somehow when you add John into the equation it turns into a fantasy.
ALSO, I have super been focusing on my being a vessel of Christ wherever I go. NOT easy at first. holy moly did I have to bite my tongue quite a few times. But I found the more I practiced His love, the more natural it became. My life became less stressed. And I could enjoy and see beauty in more things than I could by being so thought focused on what I don't agree with, than what I do. I want to get a tattoo soon. That says "vessel" in Arabic. Why Arabic? I have always been fascinated with Egypt, and their culture. Their love for their families and rulers. Honoring them with such tradition and sensitivity. I love that Moses, a Jew, got to be so engrained in the culture. There is so much beauty that is beyond what is right in front of us. I want to see that beauty, and be that beauty, around the world.
