awesome internet site i found out about

i was randomly hopping from one blog to the next, just passing the time yesterday while i was comfortably in my pajamas and wrapped in ben's super warm water-buffalo-hide blanket sipping hot tea. <--how's that for a run-on sentence? lol! well, i discovered some really cool videos on someone's blog. i went to youtube and watched the rest of the videos. and then i had to check out the website.

i like the video a lot. it raises a lot of awareness. as it should! give the video a watch. it's short, like 20 minutes. and it's broken up into seven parts on youtube if you want to watch it in bits. just search for "story of stuff". or check out the website www.storyofstuff.com

i'd love a discussion on this to hear everyone's view. it would be fun!

cheers!

arby's curly fries

i do believe every single female that i spoke with yesterday commented how much they like my curls. it rocked! made me feel good. one girl, though, said my curls were like arby's curly fries. i didn't like the thought of greasy curly yuckiness atop my head. she said that wasn't what she meant. she meant arby's curly fries are awesome. so my hair is awesome. "ahhhh. i see" said the blind man. i told this story to a number of ladies last night while dancing. they all agreed. arby's curly fries are awesome. and they think my hair is too. =)

cheers!

28jan08 today's quote

why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? i guess that wouldn't work. someone would leave. someone always leaves. then we would have to say good-bye. i hate good-byes. i know what i need. i need more hellos.

no man, for any considerable period of time, can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the truth.

this is what happens when you're on the autobahn and you hit a deer at high speeds in your bmw

trying to help

my younger brother is pretty negative generally. he's become increasingly more so as of late and this really worries me. his self image is poor, his self worth is non-existant, and he has no motivation. it doesn't help, either, that both parents are masterful at keeping him in such a state. it's sad. i believe he needs to get out from the sesspool of negativity and hardship known as the broxterman house. my mother and father won't change (though i wish so badly for them to) so benjamin has got to get out of there.

he has been texting me a lot since this past holiday season. most everything is saddening to read. and some of the things have down right scared the hell outta me. last night, though, there was a big breakthrough. around 4 in the morning he sent me a text. we got to texting and he asked for help in moving to lincoln. this was so encouraging! i ask that you please pray for benjamin, that he would be strong against the overwhelming negative air that he's surrounded by, that he would begin to see things positively, that he would hope, that he would see himself as valued by others, and for financial difficulty and discernment in dealing with my parents. god is being faithful to my brother! praise him! i'm so encouraged and excited now!

cheers!

sometimes the loudest cry for help is when someone says they don't need any.

what's for breakfast?

here's what i had for breakfast today: a banana, oatmeal with dried fruit bits in it, vanilla yogurt with fresh blackberries i added, two pieces of wheat toast with pumpkin butter, and a big honkin' glass of milk. after eating this, i'm content and relaxed. my stomach has food in it. there's a happy little grin on my face.

i'm curled up on the couch with soft blankets now. i just boiled some water for tea. i'm going to enjoy this comfort and warmth for a while. =)

cheers!
