Something Greater Than I
Alas, time waxes anon, and my time as a Biola Blogger is coming to a close. For those of you who have been with me since the beginning of last year, it’s been AWESOME! But other things have come up, and now I am no longer able to hang out with you guys. But rather than have this be something depressing (you’ve probably seen posts like this from the Biola Bloggers all week), it should be something cool.
What do I mean? Well I don’t know, and that’s the cool part about it. I have no idea what God has in store for me right now but the cool part is that he does, and he’ll be showing me whatever opportunities those are in the coming months/years/decades/centuries.
Do not weep for me, Biolans, mom, or Tumblr followers, for I am not leaving the world. I am merely descending from this platform to another, different blog… thingy. I will still blog, you have my word, just not here. In the following weeks I will post the blog that I regularly blog on for those dedicated to me to follow.
All that being said, love where you are right now—it is an experience that you can’t get anywhere else that cannot be experienced the same why by anyone other than you. That is so cool. Experiences come and go, memories are all we have to account for them. Make those memories count! Make those experiences cool!
I have a playlist that I listen to when I don’t know where I am going with my life. It’s called “Accordion Goodness”. In these vivacious moments with Astor Piazzolla I am closer to understanding that I am not in control of my life, and that there is something else guiding me, something that knows better, understands more, perfectly plans out everything; something greater than I.
It is God.
I know you guys probs don’t have 15 minutes to sit and watch influential things, but if you have 15 minutes to sit and watch influential things this will INFLUENCE YOU!!

My boyfriend talking about poetry.
This is what I talk like with my girlfriend on a regular basis.
“But shakin’ it’s all I know!”
I’m sure some of you thought you knew how to shake it too. Here’s 25 minutes of video-evidence that proves otherwise. My family asked me what I want for my birthday (the 28th!!), and I told them to give me everything that had anything to do with Adventure Time. It is something I want and I want it badly.
Dearly Beloved - Yoko Shimomura
If you’re like me, then you’re stressed out and school is either at it’s crescendo or decrescendo—it’s either winding up or down, and either way that usually means that there’s no time to think, breathe, think, breathe, and think. So with this blog post on tumblr, which you shouldn’t be on in the first place since you have a gigantic exam tomorrow, take a minute to listen to this nice piano piece and calm down.
Take this time to think, breathe, think, breathe, and think, because you probably won’t get another break like this until you’re done.
This is a great song my girlfriend linked me to when she was trying to win my heart back in High School (adorbz <3), and it’s forever been etched in my soul as a great encouragement.
It’s called “Take Courage”
HAHAHA GET IT I GET ENCOURAGed..
anyway listen
My teachers played this song in my VIsion Voice and Practice class the other day (we play a song at the beginning of every class), and this one was just too good not to share.
Listen to the lyrics, they’re easy to hear/understand. This is a good song to drive in a car to on a sunny day when you’re wondering where the heck your life is going.
Katamari on the Rock ~ Yu Miyake, Masayuki Tanaka
Sometimes, when life gives me lemons, I roll them up in a ball and BLOW THEM UP INTO THE SKY!
Not really, but poetically I do. Sorta. One other thing I do when I’m down in the dumps is listen to this song. It is my universal pep talk song—”DON’T WORRY—DO YO BEST!”
The song is littered with beauty. It’s great lyrics will move you—”MOONLIGHT SOMETHING MIDNIGHT YEAH!” “I LOVE YOU I WILL SMILE FOR YOU!” “COMPRESSIONNNNN COMPRESSSIOOONN!!!!” “OH YEEEYAH!” “OH GO GO GO!” “SAY GOO-BYE—BYE BYE!”
Whenever you have the feels, as many people do, listen to this song. It is a song for those of you “on the rocks”, who need to be lifted up in the moonlight—midnight, yeeeah.
I hope none of you are feeling feels, but if you are I hope you are profoundly moved by this moving profound bit.
It’s from my favourite game Katamari Damacy—a brilliant game that I am currently writing an essay about perseverance on. It is one that has gotten me through hard times, and I hope right now just a bit of it can help you too, random (but still, beloved) Tumblr follower!
I’m a big fan of music that originates from Youtube.
SO SHOULD YOU… BE… A FAN.
A Poem
This is a poem I wrote at some point in the last few days! Yeah! I don’t often share my poetry! Yeah! Be happy! Yeah! This is all about how I’ve been stressed out the last month and a half or so! Yeah! It’s nuts! Yeah! Enjoy it?! Yeah!?
I’m in the process of taking every problem I have and
putting it all in a box after I do that I will put it
into another box and I will divide that box into
9 cubes and I will get a beach ball and coat it
in cement let dry and cover with horseshoe glue
then roll over the boxes of problems and
anyone else in my way and some day I will
call the ball up and see how it’s doing while
I’ll be in heaven and laughing about all the
times that I boxed it up twice divided it into
9 cubes and rolled over it with a sticky cement
beach ball and everyone else in my way and
then God will lift it up and make it into a
star one of billions that we can all look up at
after we’ve confessed on our knees that we had
problems at least that’s the way I like to
think about it when I’m running around like
an idiot with this box.
