A Friend Is More Precious Than Gold

Today, I was with friends. Saw Avatar, went to get food. Got caught up on a few moments in our years apart. It felt... Good. Right. It was a great feeling, one I wish I had more often. Kind of like the feeling you get from a loving romantic relationship, but without the romance. Do you know this feeling? Can you feel it now? If you cannot feel it, try. If you are unfamiliar, familarize yourself. And then will you know the greatness that is friendship. Man was not meant to be alone... And in his wait, he has... Allies... Comrades... Friends. Find them out, and feel this feeling. Roses are #FF0000, but friendship is worth more than gold.

Who Gets The Rose?

I was praying today for my future wife, whoever it may be. It feels kind of odd praying for someone that I may not even know yet, but I guess it kind of makes sense. I want to be ready when she comes by. I want to be set up, prepared, stuff like that. Even though that's in the future, thinking of then reminds me of the past. Brings back memories of me praying for that girl I was dating, or the one I wanted to be dating, or even the one I didn't want to date. For their wellbeing, their endeavours, their general life. Then it never felt odd, so why does it feel odd now? I guess then I knew personally the person I was praying for. Knew them by their full name. And now I'm not sure what their name is. Only that they're out there, somewhere, maybe praying for me as well. And that's a nice thought to a lover-boy like me.

Well, I said I might have a word to say on me and my cliffhanger ending on the 4th, and I do. And the word is that I'm not sure what I should say. Really, if we were to make a list there could be many. A list for girls I find attractive, for ones I think I have a great personality, for ones I'd like to know better, and on and on and on it could go. So I'm just not sure what to put here. One of those lists? Girls I used to like but am not sure if I still do? Girls I'd like to like me? Or maybe a detailed list on why I think that wondering about all this stuff is useless, and yet I do it anyways? I don't know. Do you?

Roses are #FF0000,
And I wonder;
Who to give mine to?

Ink drops on plain parchment

Because I promised that I would, here is my blog post for today: life has been going well. Got my headphones, my quill, AC2, stuff like that. Learned some new songs on guitar, transposing songs for my ocarina, looking at new (actually, old, but more on that later) instruments. Reading, writing, re-writing, gaming, training, caring, getting emotional, taking trips into my past and praying for my future. An average procession of stuff going on in my life. But again, more on that later.

First off, my stuff. Hoping to get the new skillet Alive CD. It's good stuff, and I had a great time at their concert at the House of Blues in November. My quill is great, and finally holds ink like it should. Or maybe I just finally started writing at the correct angle. Meh. It builds patience, and I just love the antiquated feel of my quill scratching its way across acid-free moleskine paper, after being dipped into a jar of a fine dark Italian ink. It's almost poetic. Then there's my new headphones, which are over-ear models. Not only do they have great sound quality, but they keep my ears warm in the cold! Sweet. For Christmas I'm gonna try and convince my whole family to pitch in for one gift for me as opposed to many: and that would be an acoustic-electric violin. Great tone, with all the perks of being able to plug in. The mid range model I want is like $500 though. But it's a steal compared to the one I really want, which is a ZETA that costs around $1,300. But yeah, I don't have my hopes too high. And, like I said earlier, while it would be a new instrument, it wouldn't be too terribly new to me. You see, the violin was my first instrument. I started at around 7, and then had to give it back when I transfered schools because my violin was on loan to me. So I would really like to pick it up again.

Anywho, off of stuff and onto me, which is what blogging is mostly about, right? Right now I'm kind of working through some simple and complex emotions, mostly of the variety that I regularly blog about. I guess you could say I'm in love with all aspects of love, and that makes being single annoying as all heck. But I'm used to that feeling, so I just gotta wait around for a bit I guess. It's rather hard waiting though. Anywho, because I know you'll be wondering, yes, I do darn near always like someone, and yes, right now is included in that time frame. But I can leave that for a later post. Aside from that, I can't think of anything else to write about today. So, in standard fashion, Roses are #FF0000, and so is my heart.
