And the Hilarity ensues...

Well, its like Eve Ensler said: "Security is a myth." We are never truly safe, we can only be together. I was looking at the library website, browsing subjects, cause I am a nerd, and I discovered this little spamtastic flop.

Is it sad that I wish there was a viagra or cialis ad here???

We are never secure.

What will you do when you can't dance anymore?

My Uncle has a terminal lung cancer that has spread to his bones. This cancer has left him paralyzed from the waist down, bedridden he has a few weeks left to live.

I say this, not to garnish sympathy, but to illustrate my point. What would you do? What would I do? The events of my family has caused me to rethink the way I live my life. I've been very focused on petty things recently, things that are unimportant. I should be focused on more important things, like The Divine for one, spending more time with my friends, being more committed to my passions, and yes studying too. As they say in Doubt "What good s a gift if you never take it out of the box?"

What have been my main concerns since going back to school? What should they be? I have really had time over the past week and a half to really re-think what things live at the center of my life- and to ask myself about those things which shouldn't be there. If there ever was a time to get rid of things in my life that hold me back, weigh me down, or distract me from what is important to me and to God... that time is now. It is always the time, but especially now. Not because I am dying, or because someone in my family is dying, but because -why spend any more time in your life with the things that hold you back?

On another subject, what better time to try new things and explore? In the spirit of that exploration I will be taking a second stab at stand-up comedy for TCU's Parents Weekend. I am very excited but I can't help but laugh at the idea that I will be performing stand-up comedy. Oh the crazy things we get ourselves involved in.

Why I'm Here

I started Silent Splendor because I wanted to get back into blogging. Its something I've always wanted to do but never really had the gumption. I wanted to try something new.

I had a blog once, and a password but I can't seem to access them, so its a fresh start to a fresh day.
