Still Here, Still Kicking

Life has been insane for the both of us.
We both have moments where we turn to the other and say "we should post this on the blog"
Sadly I do not recall any of those off the top of my head.

In other news it is October.
Weather is changing but still not all that cold.
The stray cat Greyhawk wants to be held on occasion.
The both of us are behind in various school projects and struggling.

What is the expression...life is what happens when you're busy?
We're living life for certain then.
Research.
Papers.
Cards.
Music.
Four failed laptops in two weeks (that's just me though).
Video games.
Burn Notice.
Classic Doctor Who.

Trying to reconcile thousands of year of religion, personal spirituality, scriptures, tradition and this Divine Madman know as Jesus who brought all of this into being by words.

I have papers piling up, hundreds of pages to read, a new novel to start next month and a Masters thesis to spin into existence sometime between now and May.

Veronica is trying to pull together her senior project/thesis/experiment, put together an adventure in France than spend a year there teaching.

We're both trying to figure out where we are on this tiny blue orb spinning in sync with an exploding nuclear star that is just a few paces away.

As always we need your prayers.

"I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back
Begging to get back to my heart
To the rhythm of my soul
To the rhythm of my unconsciousness
To the rhythm that yearns
To be released from control

I was punching in the numbers 
At the ATM machine
I could see in the reflection 
A face staring back at me
At the moment of surrender
Of vision over visibility
I did not notice the passers-by
And they did not notice me

I was speeding on the subway
Through the stations of the cross
Every eye looking every other way
Counting down 'til the pain will stop"
-U2, At the Moment of Surrender
