Last day of uni tommorow. The joy of not having anymore assignments to do is slowly being overrun by the terror of having to sit for exams. My life is one big boring heterocyclic ring full of conjugated double whammies. Sigh.
Big plus for today, I finally got a U2 album. They're better than I thought they were. Jars of Clay are fans of U2. I can see how their later styles are somewhat similiar-ish although U2 seems abit more indie and old-ish. Lovely lyrics still.
Oh well oh well.
Im abit tired I think. Cant wait for exams to finish. I cant believe I actually made it through the semester.At one point in my life I seriously thought I would go mad or commit suicide or some crazy whacky event would help me get by...but...nothing. Just God's gentle and quiet comfort and strength.
Still chugging along on dirt. haha.

CD Freebie...
Hullo.
They were sellin some second hand cds at Wentworth today (uni). So I stopped had had a little look-see and bought 3 cds + 1 single for $10 :D He gave me the single for free (a grand total of 50 cents? lol) Its cool cos 2nd hand cds always sell all the good old stuff for cheap cheap. I got All Saints, Gavin Bryars, Mighty Mighty Bosstones (single) and a TripleM alternative compilation album. The TripleM album is a double cd as well....and it was produced somewhere 97-ish so all the old-school songs are on it. Its great :) Makes me feel.....how my dad must feel when he hears all HIS old music... hahaha.
Gavin Bryars was such an impulse purchase. Remember there was a post on "Jesus Blood" by Jars Of Clay? (see Sunday, 4th April 2k4) At the bottom it said it might have been composed by Mr.Bryars and I actually saw the album but decided to buy a different one instead. He plays contemporary classic (think John Williams, Vangelis etc etc) and yea, this album was quite depressing but it serves me right for choosing the album with the title "Farewell to Philosophy". Pfft. Hahaha. Maybe I should have gotten STing + Police. Yea. Oh well. Maybe they'll be there tommorow.... hehe. Last purchase. I promise.

My Hope Is Built
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly trust in Jesus’ Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness seems to hide His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh may I then in Him be found.
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
Edward Mote, 1834

My Answer...
Well despite of all the hurt,
In spite of what its worth,
I wouldnt have it any other way.
No magic in the air,
No flowers everywhere,
I wouldnt have it any other way.
Late nights in monochrome,
My life a metronome,
I wouldnt have it any other way.
My Lord and God
You are so rich in mercy
Mere words alone are not sufficient thanks
So take my life
Transform renew and change me
That I might be, a living sacrifice...
Its true im blue
Its real, surreal
Its grey but hey
I wouldnt have it any other way.

Credibility...
I finally got to watch Kill Bill the other day. Its a rather...odd.... movie. Must look up this Quentin Torotino dude. Very familiar sounding and yet cant quite remember. Anyways, whoever he is, must be one pretty twisted dude. The movie has absolutely no credibility though, and that brings it down to chick flick level, although I must say this is the first time Ive seen Lucy Liu look so pretty/cute. That was the only commendable feature.
And then I watched The Last Samurai again today. See now THAT movie has credibility. I mean, of course all those things could happen. Of course the director was being serious on portraying these honourable men's plight. Of course it wasnt some chick flick with some action/gore (supposed to cover it up as action flick?) just because it was starring the ever handsome tom cruise. Of course not. Thats because it had credibiity.
The long and short of it is this.
Movie maker, directors,shooters, filmers whatever. We'Re NoT DumB!! We can tell when the movie line is crappy, we can tell when things pop in and out of thin air. We can tell when you're covering something up, making it to be somethng its not just because of a few props. Charlie's Angels may be in the same lines of Kill Bill but thats what its supposed to be. A chick flick. Not burst arteries flooding some fancy restaurant caused by some chick that trained for one month after coming out of a 4 year coma and expecting us to classify it along with Saving Private Ryan.
I cant wait for Kill Bill 2.

Sigh...
What I lack in humility I make up with a swollen head :p
So many things are just ripping me apart, tossing me in a whirlwind towards the edge. And the only thing that keeps me standing is the thing that causes half my grief. And that thing is what the grecians may call, a protein. You wouldnt understand because nobody really ever understands me. I dont even understand myself sometimes. Most times. Why has God given me a soul that is so much more capricious than my pitiful brain can handle.
Augh the torture and the burden of being so infinitely sinful. +.+
What do I do with myself...

Those good old... brains!?
I was reading some of my old posts cos I wanted to check the date when I first started blogging (sometime this time last year). I used to be a better writer, I used to have weirder thoughts. Im abit jealous. Im abit frustrated. Im abit...more boring I guess. Sigh. All my zeal, fluttered away with the breezes of yesteryear. Anyways. Exams. Assignments. Need to work.
