These empty rooms

They seem to know more about our souls than we do

After we've washed our skin of sin

We wait and watch and wish for the city lights to fill our souls

We laugh and party with friends

But when we get in

We go to the window

Looking for something outside of ourselves that we couldn't find within

We see through the glass

How the light shines through

We try to mend

We try to bend our thoughts

We remember how we laughed

How we danced in the Chapel Light

We prayed we'd find ourselves

But it never worked as well as them

And they always found us

They always find us

These Windows

in these numbered rooms

through these halls of doors

we may all be lost

But we will find ourselves there

Behind the windows that mingle the outside with what's within

Where My glass meets my light

Meet me there

That's where I long to dance

That's where I long to grow

That's where we'll build these bodies back up again

that's where I'll build my body back up again.

At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

Old school ghetto blaster sat on the floor

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
