I Think I Can[t]
An ode to Des' love for guerilla art and just what the doctor ordered to keep me focused.
7 days to get in shape, 3 to fall back out...
1 step forward, 2 steps back...
A second on your lips, a lifetime on your hips...
Why is absolutely everything so backwards? I know we're not supposed to know and we never WILL know certain 'why's' or 'why not's' but like...come on man. I enjoy shabby chic and design elements that don't belong together just as much as the next creative nerd but leave the funky juxtapositions for photoshoots, please!
I guess, just like always, you gotta keep doing that Thomas the Train thang. I want to give up but the deviant little child up there and my bills say I can't.
Uphill battles are good for your butt anyway.

Cupid's Corner
Sorry for hogging this but only the strong survive.
haha :)
I started a new devotion plan today...I chose one not even specifically tailored to me but just SOMEthing to get me started on a regular reading plan because like so many things, I clearly cannot do this on my own.
Today's reading was on the harlot Joanna and the story I've heard a bunch of times...you know, she was the town hoochie mama and stalked Jesus for the perfect moment to sneak attack him and wash his feet in expensive perfume. 2011 version.
Anyway, it's a great story to show His compassion and love and that you can never stray too far–He will always love you. I can identify with being a sinner but I don't have a brothel on my resume so this story has never truly hit home for me.
The closing of my devotion is what got me though:
She made quite a spectacle of herself that day. I can imagine that it took her a long while to make her plans and then to carry them out.
I'm prone to say, "What courage." But no. It wasn't courage that drove Joanna to Simon's house. It was love.
And so the unnamed harlot lives on through biblical history . . . while princes and procurators and scribes and Pharisees, mighty men and strong men and wise men and rich men, are all long since forgotten. Her only claim to fame?
She loved [too] much.
I added the too because that's how I read it first and what made me smile. We're told over and over to 'guard our hearts' and 'not get in too deep' and 'play hard to get, never let him see you sweat'. All the silly girl love stuff is laughed at and I'm chalked up to being naive and far too hopeful.
I once read that it's not what you did or achieved that people remember but how you made them feel.
If my greatest demise in this lifetime is loving too much, so be it.
