oh me oh my--

Today started off with church. Just as lovely as I remember it, even for Riverside--the church I go to has an awesome choir--if anything much of my inspiration during mass comes from the hymns--there is something about the way the choir projects through the church. (no it's not the mic's) It's the acoustics. It's the feeling of heavenly music ringing from above you. Music has the ability to move me in some form or fashion--boogey down--kidding not in that way.

Speaking of music--survey question of the day? Do any of you associate many of your memories with music? I do in a major way. I can remember the song played at my great grandma's funeral. I can remember the song from my 8th grade graduation. I can remember sitting on my mom's lap when I was 6 driving to Disneyland and having her teach me a song on the radio. I remember the songs I sang with my friends on my 16th birthday--and I remember the song playing when I was backing out my driveway--leaving for college. Music runs my life. I've been listening to quite a bit of christian music lately--it's not bad--and they have so many genres--they have christian rock (some lite and others slightly harder) and they have christian rap--i should let tim listen to some of that--holllllller haha

On another topic--Art History really helped me appreciate architecture. There is an immense amount of symbolism which lies within the church walls. I won't list a bunch but I will list one--the walls around many altars in catholic churches stream upward into a dome shape---usually with the crucifix in the center of the wall facing the nave of the church---the dome represents the heavens--and the central circle amidst the top of the dome is the oculus or the eye--this is Roman architecture and can be seen in other famous structures such as the Pantheon in Rome. ahhh I'm getting all artsy fartsy noooooooo.

Phil and I had an interesting night....we were both insanely bored watching Kids in the Hall and I was craving chocolate (of which we have none in the apartment). So--we hopped in the car made it to Ralph's and grabbed everything chocolate we could think of. Very smart-- so this lack of chocolate will never happen again. Then we came back and made brownies...freakin deeeeelicious.

Our running to the grocery store for chocolate reminded me of last year with Austin. After a long day of school sometime last year--I was craving a donut--so Austin and I went on a donut adventure at like 10 or 11 at nite. If i don't recall we ended up at Ralph's first--didn't find any donut's but he grabbed 2 cartons of juice and started downing them in the store before we even paid...I remember the look on some people's faces...it was awesome. We eventually found a 24-hour donut shop. Ten minutes later Austin and I were sitting in the apartment chuckling--as I sat eating a ridiculously fatty jelly donut and he downed half a carton of orange juice. Strange memories haha--

alright these entries are getttin loooonnnnng---plus i'm gettin tired---buenas noches
