So, Here We Are

Two powerful speeches about what America can, and should, be.

There But For the Grace of God, Go I

So, school has kinda been controlling my life. So I figured, why not post some school related items. The only actually interesting stuff I've been doing (for most readers, anyway), is Latin.

Livy
There is this exceptionally beneficial and fruitful advantages to be derived from the study of the past, that you see, set in the clear light of historical truth, examples of every possible type.

Ovid
You may hit every other thing Phoebus, but my bow will strike you: to the degree that all living creatures are less than gods, by that degree is your glory less than mine.

Ideo firmiter propono

Deus meus,
ex toto corde paenitet me
omnium meorum peccatorum,
eaque detestor, quia peccando,
non solum poenas a Te iuste
statutas promeritus sum,
sed praesertim quia offendi Te,
summum bonum,
ac dignum qui super omnia diligaris.
Ideo firmiter propono,
adiuvante gratia Tua,
de cetero me non peccaturum peccandique
occasiones proximas fugiturum. Amen.

O, my God,
I am heartily sorry
for having offended you.
I detest all my sins
because of your just punishment,
but most of all
because they offend you,
my God, who are all-good
and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve,
with the help of Your grace,
to sin no more
and to avoid the near occasions of sin.

So...Yeah

I haven't written in a while, and I feel guilty. But I don't really have anything on my mind to write about.

My Pink Desk

The weekend isn't half over yet, and already it feels like it's been so long. Friday night I went on a date with my girlfriend. It was wonderful; we had dinner and saw Chicken. It's a show about three people trapped in a nuclear submarine, with as many laughs, scares, and messages as you can fit into a one hour play. It was so funny! "Was the cat food real? Of course." Then this morning I had breakfast with some friends before Tech Crew. Loads of fun at tech, then HTown Day for awhile. Busy, but fun day so far. Up next, work then hanging with friends. Cappies and loads of homework tomorrow. Such a fun weekend. Really. Well, I'm off to work.
