Absolute necessity of faith

Whatever you choice you make, run with it.

Run with all the volition your hungry spirit can afford.

When disbelieving pessimism finds a way in, look back into the eyes of the Lord - hear Him say your name.

Never stop running, Brian!

Raymond Carver and Highlighters

Raymond Carver is a writer. not a writer. a writer! not that i'm trying to talk about him like he's some kind of basketball star or larger-than-life personality.

HOWEVER, the frame of reality in his head and whatever experiences he's lived through fuel his pen quite well. i dont know if i like his stories that much (the message, etc), but some of the words he puts together say more than the sum of their parts.

i have this pink highlighter that i really like (the "Exclaim!" brand). its noticeably good. when you press it down on paper, the dopamine storehouses in the brain release slightly (maybe not that good. but it's noticeably awesome). i remember using it for the first time and saying "whoa." it's GOOD, okay?

the one and only thing i hate about all highlighters is how much ink they release. it annoys me when highlighters bleed through thin paper. thank you for your generosity highlighter, but please stop releasing giant, obnoxious, hot-pink pools of ink everywhere.

I'm not even sure why i'm writing about this. sorry if you wanted something that shifted your paradigm (but you wouldnt be looking for that here, would you?)

(if you are... I am both flattered and sorry. haha)
