Thank You, Lunch!
Dear Katie,
I am the hottest soup in the whole entire world. So hot.
Just thought I would warn you.
Love from,
The Soup
Dear The Soup,
You know, you could have told me that before I took a huge sip and burned my mouth.
On the positive side, I would like to thank you for being so efficient and nutritious. Not to mention tasty.
Even though winter is over, and I won't crave you quite so often, you will always have a special place in my heart.
Love,
Katie
Dear Katie,
<3
Love,
The Soup

Confused
So, I've been living life, right? And when you do that, things DO get confusing. And when things get confusing, I tend to get confused. And when I get confused, I get angry. And when I get angry, I listen to Linkin Park.
So, I was scared and confused, and I thought about this song.
So, I had a little reprise of emo-ness. Hopefully that came through in my very artistic portrayal of the song. :P
But I'm not weird. We've all been there. We all struggle with Regret. Brokenness. Shame. Feelings of inadequacy. Loneliness.
This is a song about Mercy. It's a song about new beginnings. Forgiveness. Forgiving others, but just as important: Forgiving yourself. Moving on.
So, I'd like to take this moment to recognize how un-broken I am. How whole I have become. How much of God's love has been made apparent in my life.
Thanks for listening, watching, and reading. Y'all is the coolest.

I Love College
Group of five trumpet players sitting under a tree on a sunny day, playing improvised flow studies. Reharmonized as needed. Consonance=optional.
Aaron Askam was sitting up in a tree.
On the downside, I am now in my dorm room. And someone is doing acoustic covers of Justin Bieber right outside my window.
Should I start blasting my Jouko Harjanne romantic trumpet recordings??

Film. Real Film.
Patrick is on one of his kicks. He's really into lomography, and he's teaching me about it too. So he gave me a plastic camera, and is teaching me about how film works. Real Film.
We've had a lot of fun, so far, with only more on the way.
The thing about film, is that it is only affected when the light touches it.
Patrick, the very silly man, is in the habit of leaving his lens cap on while taking pictures.
But the darkness can't make a picture happen. The film is still waiting for light to
touch it. If you don't advance the film after taking a picture in darkness, the film will
still be good to use later.
I think it's cool how no amount of darkness can ruin the film,
but once the light touches it, it will never be the same.
