my days have become constant mornings and cool breezes.
i'm regaining my focus now. there was a day i felt a constant jump in my chest. i believe it was 2005. i am determined to become a purist again like i used to be.
there was only a handful who remember this. it was all about living life to the fullest, long walks to nowhere, early in the morning, late at night. going to the zoo, bright eyes, smiles, washed faces, warm embraces.

i'm determined to rediscover that. it was a very good year, before the poorest of choices, before the stresses that adulthood brings. i'm redefining who i am. constant purchasing of Odwallas and cold weather. i had a life. i'm taking it back.

now if i could only just get paid.

brighter days are here.

thank you for listening

i found this website some how, and don't remember how, but it's an online bible reader combined with blogging called YouVersion. amazing! i'm on it already as "markdevin" you should definitely check into this thing and it's absolutely free. i know it's shameless advertising.

but since we're on the subject of shameless advertising, i have two shows coming up this month. one on August 8th at the Door in Plano, Tx. and the other at it's main location the Door in Dallas in the Prophet Bar. Both are 10 bucks unless your over 21, then it's 8 for the Prophet Bar. be there both at 7 pm!!!

i hope to see you guys there. come hang out with me at the show!

Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac now hold one of the biggest debt out on the Market today. About $12 Trillion. Here's your sources, and if you own a house, I recommend you find Jesus.

Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac $12 Trillion Mess

So today has been a pretty easy day, you cant do much when youre broke. But to make the best of it, the roommates and i cleaned house. I didn't know how disgusting everything was until we got our hands dirty, literally. So, besides the fact that i work mostly at starbucks, i have decided to start selling mortgage protection insurance. I hear theres money in that, especially with the many houses with this economy being foreclosed because its getting harder for homeowners to afford there houses and homes (more on that later). I havent really played music lately, i havent had the inspiration. Its been hard lately. But in all of this i made a new song called "Sound." (check for lyrics on this blog called "Sound.") Until, hopefully ill have some more news feeds up later tonight. Peace.

Update. 1:06 AM

Here's the link i mentioned I would post from my new found friend New York Times:
How Fallout Could Affect Main Street

In the recent New York Times article, Senator Barrack Obama, has up to now, wooed the people from left wing all the way to the right. With this year's unbelievable switch of republicans and independents to the democratic race, has Obama exhausted his prized speech of hope? Now shifting His opinions on single matter issues like the concerning war in Iraq, many critics has shamed Obama at what seems like a "flip-flop" candidate.
