Currently Listening
Rush of Blood to the Head
By Coldplay
see related

or is it all just a rush of blood to the head?

So that last couple weeks have been kinda crazy, especially the last weekend. Since last Wednesday I had to quit my job because of health reasons, and I pretty much finalized my decision to not return to Moody this year. Life is always changing. Kinda crazy.

what the...........

So yeah, I am doing something that I haven't done before - two posts within a month of each other, and even more shocking than that is that they are within a day of each other, almost 12 hours. but anyways...

So I'm sitting here, thinking. Song lyrics are flowing through my head and they will probably come out later on today or tomorrow, but nonetheless I am still thinking. It seems kind of jumbled about, yet strangely cohesively together. I'm trying to figure stuff out but it seems like one plus one is somehow coming out to equal three...or one...but not two.

My head hurts....

I want to just lay down and sleep for 5 weeks...

oh well...guess I just need to pick myself up and keep chugging along. the only problem is that I don't seem to have very much fuel. I am drained.

This last week took a lot out of me. But don't worry I'm not getting all depressed...just quiet and thoughtful........and tired.

Hi, My name is Doug. We don't talk much.

So yeah, like I've said before...I'm not too big on updating this on a regular basis. But hey, I wrote some more lyrics last night, so here is another post. And if this is why I update Xanga, then hopefully I will be updating it a lot in the coming months.


Again, this is very rough. I haven't even read over it more than a few times... so bear with me. Let me know what you think.

Holding On

by Douglas Sweat


Where do I begin

If I don’t know where I am

I’m stuck in this quicksand

And it’s dragging down my soul

The more I try to fight

The faster the glass flies

Cutting at my skin

And biting at my heart

 

Where are You now

I am looking all around

I am dying in this sin

There’s no one to pull me out

This body is failing

My will, it is wearing

I am reaching for Your hand

Won’t You help me now

 

Alone in this darkness

It fills every inch

At first begun so subtly

Yet now chokes all else out

The freedom has vanished

The light has been vanquished

And you are left holding your tattered torn heart

 

You cannot run

You cannot hide

From what is chasing you inside

There’s only one

Please hold tonight

Your fingers slip

But His are tight

So I guess I'm not too big into updating this on any regular basis. But that's alright. Basically right now school is going, and I've been learning and working through a lot of things lately, but it has been good. Not that I understand everythnig, or even most things, but God is sdtill teaching me nonetheless. So thats all the update until I get more time, but I did want to share something else. I've been workng on a song for a little bit now and I have most of it written and I have a tune for it too, so here it is and if you want to comment on it go ahead. Just be nice.  ;)

Oh, and just to forewarn you, it isn't completed yet, this is a pretty rough draft. Anyways, here it is:

 

Repetition by Douglas Sweat

V1:

One step forward, two steps back,

Seems that's how I'm running on this life's worn track.

Amidst all the pain I look back again,

And I don't think I ever will win.

C:

I keep asking what I'm doing here,

Cause I don't understand all this pain.

So I pray Lord that You'll take away all my fear,

And comfort my torn heart again,

For I know there is joy in this pain.

V2:

Two steps forward, one step back,

I'm finally moving ahead.

But I trip and I fall when I take my eyes off

Of the One who was bruised in my stead.

(chorus)

B:

So I look up and I see Your face,

It's then that I realize I'm held by Your grace.

I pick up Your Word and it's so clear to see,

It's all part of the plan that you have for me.

C2:

I’m done asking what I’m doing here,

Because my Lord understands all my pain.

His love wiped away all of my tears,

And He's captured my heart again,

Now I’m surrendered to Jesus my friend.

He's given me joy in my pain.

End:

Lord help me keep moving forward without looking back.

 

Anyways, thanks for your time.

Wow, so it has been a crazy long time since I have updated this thing. So I guess this is what has been going on for the last three months:
            School has been going pretty well. I don’t believe that I am failing any classes, so that is a plus. I have finals this week so I am busy studying (but I’m taking a break right now, obviously). I have really enjoyed a couple classes and I have been learning a lot. I’m still not quite sure what all I have been learning but I will try and figure that out over break, I just know that it has been a lot.
            I have been making many new friends, which has been really great. Some of the people here are so amazing. My roommate happens to be one of those people because he has put up with me so far and hasn’t really complained about much of anything. He is definitely amazing. There are quite a few other people that I have grown to be good friends with too. You all know who you are. ;) It’s kinda sad though because eight guys from my floor are leaving after this semester. They are good guys and it’s sad to say goodbye.
Some random stuff that I’ve done this semester: Reliant K concert, Switchfoot concert, Casting Crowns concert, I saw Narnia at the first showing (12:01 a.m.), ice skating, poker (not for money), spent a lot of money on coffee (way too much… well, can you ever spend too much money on coffee???), and a lot of other random hanging out with friends. It has been pretty amazing. Oh and my floor also went undefeated in both intramural flag football and kickball (although we won by forfeit every kickball game). We lost in the first round of the playoffs for football, which was sad. I only got to play 2 games because of work.
    Anyways, so that is a little bit of what’s been going on in my world. I know that there is so much more to tell, but I can’t remember most of it. Oh well, maybe next time. BREAK START ON WEDNESDAY AT 3:00!!!!! YAY
