SUMMER!!!!!!!! CURSE!!!!!!!!!!!

i had to wear a sweater today..
oops i didn;t mean to be mean.

well here, there are no cars. just busses and lots of walking. and people constantly telling you you need a warmer coat because it's cold out, and i don't believe in winter coats, but here, there are no heated cars to run from. there is only hours of walking around the city streets with gloves and scarves. and denmark has the highest rate of suicide, because the sun rarely shines here. and people get depressed. but i can't get depressed this winter. no matter what happens. this time it's real and i'll give it all i've got. right? ok then. winter-0, jonny-1.

so, it's snowing.
like, for real christmas snowing.

i'm just not ready for it...i want the summer back.
i want jon to be calling me, asking if i'm ever gonna come pick him up, i want to be heading off to bakers square with jacqui, i want to be staying up late playing morrowind with ryan 24 hours a day for like 3 days.

where'd it go?
this winter, i've been forced to form new friendships, and have unsuccessfully struggled to get a routine back, and i just don't know what the heck is going on anymore. i'm thankful, so thankful, that i have people that i can talk to, i have people i can connect with, people that i call friends. i'm glad that this winter isn't going to be just another season spent alone, but a season of hope. hope for a new life in christ. hope that god will restore things that, through the course of mistakes and decisions, have been taken away. i believe, and i trust him to follow through.

but this snow buisness, it just brings me down and pisses me off, cause it's so cold. you can't wear t-shirts and hold hands very easily in the snow, cause your fingers get cold. not that that's what i'm doing, but i'm just saying. the cold makes things that much more dificult. it takes like, an extra 10 minutes just to even start the car. you can't go anywhere quick, and you can't move from where you are too quickly, either.

to me, you leave winter with what you brought into it. nothing really changes.
god, give us hope this winter, give us a fire inside that can melt the effects of the snow outside. give us hearts that want change, and will push on to acquire them. god, just give us the strength to move on, and to keep growing god, don't let us allow the winter to chill us into submission to this world.

well, i guess it's good that the snow is really pretty.
but then again, so are adulterous women.

woke up to leaving. and that's never fun. maybe if i sleep more it'll seem better.

BED TIME!!!!!!!!!!! CURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

don't eat shwarma at the tel aviv central bus station ( i had learned that lesson long ago but i was soo hungry) esp. not when they are just about to close.

thats so awesome!

look at these pictures, and realize that some of the people in them are dying because they're lonely. most of them really have nobody to talk to. nobody to connect with. it's awful.

i had the longest conversation with the last guy in this photodoc, he stole my heart. his name is kenneth, and you should pray for him, because he's losing his mind. slowly but surely, he's just kinda disappearing.
what an awful world this is.

we all have love inside of us, and so many people out there need it like it's air.
