Star Wars Episode III: the backstroke of the west

A beautiful poem that I couldn't agree with more...........

Love's Philosophy
The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things, by a law divine,
In one another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea -
What are all these kissings worth
If thou kiss not me?

My kinda guy

These lyrics pretty much say it for me:

Baby put on your white t-shirt
All thin and worn and perfect
Grab your jeans and sandals
Lets make the weather worth it
Hike down to the river,
Grab the rope, and swing right in

My smiling love
My rugged warrior
You own this heart
I'll keep it for you
My smiling heart
My rugged warrior

God, You stun my senses
I wanna drink it all
Appalachia to Montana
I hear Your creation call
Head down to the river
And throw myself right in

I love everything wild
Give me life untamed
You're the picture of adventure
And You're calling my name

You think the pet rock was a really great idea?

My friend and I were talking earlier about how we wish we had cool ideas for websites. Unfortunately all we could think of was stuff that's already been done. Here's some of those sites for you're viewing pleasure. Let me know if you can think of others.

Loser

In keeping with the theme of selling out, here we go:

Only the losers win
They've got nothing to prove
They'll leave the world with nothing to lose
You can laugh at the weirdos now
Wait till wrongs are right
They'll be the ones with nothing to hide

'Cause I've been thinking, thinking
I've got a plan to lose it all
I've got a contract pending on eternity
If I haven't already given it away
I've got a plan to lose it all

I've been the burnout kid
I've been the idiot
I'll turn the other cheek to be hit
You can take what you want from me
Empty me till I'm depleted
I'll be around if I'm ever needed

I wrote this song for you
To show how I'm selling out
I'll take the benefit of a doubt

That's some old school Switchfoot for ya from Learning to Breathe album

And corresponding scripture for those a bit rusty:

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" Matthew 16:24-26

Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? James 2:5

"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."
Matthew 5:38-39

But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him.
1 Corinthians 1:27-29
