Beyond your Scope of Vision

In a FIF mood today...

Cannonball
Wind passes right through my skin as I fall down,
this furious speed will only destroy me.
Crippling and devastating momentum,
approaching maximum velocity.
And this is how it's going to be,
the point of it all.
'Cause this is what was meant for me,
recklessly I fall.

Hulking, smashing, I come crashing,
nothing like when I was small.
I am unstoppable,
I am the cannonball.

Thirty-two feet per second I increase,
as the exponents will multiply.
I'll never stop to look back behind me,
cutting through the bright blue sky.
And this is how it's meant to be,
untethered I will soar.
I'll barrel towards the earth below,
it's what I was made for.

Hulking, smashing, I come crashing,
nothing like when I was small.
I am unstoppable,
I am the cannonball.
That feeble coward that you knew,
has undergone an overhaul.
I am unstoppable,
I am the cannonball.

And everyone will say it's just an accident,
like some mishap or a tragedy.
I think that failure has a purpose,
and I don't believe it's chance if I fall.
And I know that if I ever do fall,
he will catch me.
And if he ever lets me fall down,
for the good of those who believe him,
He will make me into a cannonball, cannonball, cannonball, cannonball.

Unblemished, and faultless.
A burning luminescence.(Cannonball)
Unequaled precision.
Beyond your scope of vision.(Cannonball)
Unblemished, and faultless.
A burning luminescence.(Cannonball)
Unequaled precision.
Beyond your scope of vision.
Cannonball.

Kamikaze

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Amen

Papers to write, sleep to miss

Howdy ya'll!

I have no idea why I decided to start the post that way. Maybe I was inspired by the wild west...who knows...I don't.

Anyway, this semester is quickly coming to an end whether I'm ready to admit or not. Don't get me wrong, I'll be happy to be done with certain classes, but this also means that papers and finals are hanging over me like...well, papers and finals. I could have said an "old/dead goose" or whatever the phrase is, but I'm not that type of a person. Poor goose.

This summer should be interesting. It won't really be a break because I'll hopefully be taking a bunch of classes so I don't need to worry about them later. I'm looking forward to some of them like History of Greece and History of Russia...they should be muy interesante!

I'd love to go on an official vacation like some people do, but then I think I'm being selfish. Other people in the world are just trying to survive and would love to have an education or job like I have, and I'm just complaining because I need to get up early. What's wrong with me? I need to stop complaining.

To end this random post....I thought I'd share this clip from Britain's Got Talent.

Wow! Chris is moving up in the world!

Anyway,have a blessed Holy Week and Happy early Easter!

Ave, ave verum corpus
natum de Maria Virgine,
Vere passum immolatum
in Cruce pro homine,
Cujus latus perforatum
unda fluxit et sanguine,
Esto nobis praegustatum
in mortis examine.


Your Best, Your All
With arms out-stretched,
And face to the ground,
Thy wounds are bleeding,
There is no sound.

What are your thoughts,
As you hang up there?
While you’re in pain,
Do you despair?

You’re innocent to your last breath,
In this life you gave,
You were not despairing over death,
But thinking of all you would save.

Thank you for everything, O Lord!
To save the world from Adam’s fall,
Instead of dying quick by the sword,
You truly gave it your best, your all.
