birthday wishlist.......

......well, materially i want this, and ONLY THIS.....



....siggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..................

so this is what everybody's talking about, but nobody really knows....

“Man cannot live without love. He remains a being that is incomprehensible for himself, his life is senseless, if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. This, as has already been said, is why Christ the Redeemer “fully reveals man to himself”. If we may use the expression, this is the human dimension of the mystery of the Redemption. In this dimension man finds again the greatness, dignity and value that belong to his humanity. In the mystery of the Redemption man becomes newly “expressed” and, in a way, is newly created. He is newly created! “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus”. The man who wishes to understand himself thoroughly-and not just in accordance with immediate, partial, often superficial, and even illusory standards and measures of his being-he must with his unrest, uncertainty and even his weakness and sinfulness, with his life and death, draw near to Christ. He must, so to speak, enter into him with all his own self, he must “appropriate” and assimilate the whole of the reality of the Incarnation and Redemption in order to find himself. If this profound process takes place within him, he then bears fruit not only of adoration of God but also of deep wonder at himself. How precious must man be in the eyes of the Creator, if he “gained so great a Redeemer”, and if God “gave his only Son “in order that man ’should not perish but have eternal life’.”

–From Pope John Paul II’s Encyclical Redemptio Hominis, #10.

don't look at me.....

...because I'm gonna be bigger. I'll measure up, I'll measure up.

just got this SMS

Gracia,
Ho un sacco di pressione sui vi invita a signum fidei formazione.
Mi piace molto, ma vi invitiamo a si prega di capire la mia condizione. Se si desidera incontrare il fratello, per favore venite a lunedi YLC dove sta andando a vedere.

Something like that. I crashed and burnt.

biGGER!!!!!

First off I cant keep a promise
I'm no one to count on at all
Add on that Im a coward
To scared to return your calls

But you dont care
You keep sticking around
While Im locked in a cloud
Youre bigger
Lalala
Cuz youre still here
Your feet stuck to the ground
Despite how silly it sounds
Youre bigger
Than me
Lalala

Its known that Im a liar
Often Im blacker than white
Add on my uncanny ego
No ones as humbled like I

All the messed up things I do
Yeah I swear I make them up to you
Before youre going heaven knows
Just let me make it better
Ill try to measure up to you

~ Backstreet Boys, Bigger, on their upcoming new album (dunno the title of the album yet)

Unstoppable

so you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Cracked a rib when you hit the wall
You've had a pocket full of regrets
Pull you down faster than a sunset
Hey, it happens to us all

When the cold hard rain just won't quit
And you can't see your way out of it

You find your faith has been lost and shaken
You take back what's been taken
Get on your knees and dig down deep
You can do what you think is impossible
Keep on believing, don't give in
It'll come and make you whole again
It always will, it always does
Love is unstoppable

Love, it wear the ring of stone
Bring you back to being born again
It's a helping hand when you need it most
A lighthouse shining on the coast
That never goes dim

When your heart is full of doubt
And you think that there's no way out

Like a river keeps on rolling
Like the north wind blowing
Don't it feel good knowing
Love is unstoppable

So you made a lot of mistakes
Walked down the road a little sideways
Love, love is unstoppable


~Rascal Flatts, Unstoppable, from the album Unstoppable
