Silhouettes

So, its 1:10 am, Saturday night.

Or is it Sunday morning?

I think its still Saturday night because I haven't gone to sleep.

So first, you should definitely listen to the song of this post

(If you don't realize, every post title is a song title)

It's by Swimming with Dolphins.

And I've listened to it probably over a hundred times in the last few months.

The entire song is just brilliant.

From the instrumentation to the lyricism.

But what always stands out to me, every time I listen, is:

"Who really needs the past, with the allure of something new"

The ghosts of my past seem to constantly haunt me.

Regrets and Nostalgia, two shadows that trail behind.

I can never seem to shake them. No matter where I run and what corners I turn.

They're often times allies in a plot to keep me up for hours at night.

But now I seem to have a weapon at my disposal.

One to ward them off.

That is, the allure of something new. :)

I know not of what will come tomorrow, but there has got to be something new.

Something that will grab me, something I will enjoy, somewhere.

That is what I look to, and what I have been lately.

Dear reader. Keep your head up, in the midst of toughness, or complete joy.

There's always something new and wonderful God has in store for you.

And another note, I just finished watching Prince of Persia,

and have a new actress crush to add the list of 7 (why 7? because its my favorite number),

and she sure did rise above most of those who have been on it for a while.

1. As you already know, Zooey Deschanel

2. The new addition, Gemma Arterton. She is so gorgeous, it's unbelievable.

3. The ever so stunning Rachel McAdams

4. The gorgeous, blonde, Scarlett Johansson

5. The angelic and lovely, Kiera Knightley

6. The beautiful, (except for the first name), Olga Kurylenko

7. And the magically magnificent, Emma Watson

Those are my top 7 ACTRESSES.

Therefore you should already know Taylor Swift would trump any of them,

but I'm just talking about actress crushes here.

(being in one movie, Valentine's Day, doesn't make her an actress)

But I've got to say, Gemma is absolutely enchanting.

I couldn't get over how tantalizing she was.

Couldn't keep my eyes off of her the entire movie. Ha.

Well.

It's 8th week, incredible. Which means this week, and the next,

are my last two weeks of classes, then finals.

It has seemingly gone by so fast, yet SO slow at the same time.

I'm not caught up, and really dreading finals are coming.

So prayer would be greatly appreciated.

It's my last IM outdoor soccer game tomorrow, it sucks that outdoor rec soccer is over.

And, also, in three weeks (after finals) I head off to San Salvador, El Salvador!

You don't know how excited, and nervous, I am about this trip.

I'll probably write a post soon (I promise) on El Salvador, and my excitement.

Anyways, hope all is well with you.

It is going well with me.

With love,

Dan

PS: Isn't she just splendid?
