I did Habitat for Humanity this past week. It was great. It's where you build houses for either low-income families or families that have been impacted by natural disasters. We stayed in a church, slept on the ground, ate all together. It was like a new family. It was a completely different environment to live in, where everyone is dedicated to others and spends less time obsessing over themselves.
While I was there I hoped to experience something new that would change my life forever back home and improve my perspective on things. After about a day back home, however, things are pretty much back to normal. I'll probably start going to more community service events, I hear it takes a little while to get into it.
Not much else to report.
I love you guys.

poem/song
Bring this day down to the dark
as watching windows lose the spark
Patiently it takes hold
That slipping, dripping sense cannot contol
And drifting lightly through the street
a tune that soothes the swaying seats
and feel the magic as it turns
and screams like angels through the racing blur
and just forget
We'll just forget
in this moment's time we'll leave with nothing left
As darkness hold you high
Another passes by
So dim the dimming lights
Before we think they can survive
as watching windows lose the spark
Patiently it takes hold
That slipping, dripping sense cannot contol
And drifting lightly through the street
a tune that soothes the swaying seats
and feel the magic as it turns
and screams like angels through the racing blur
and just forget
We'll just forget
in this moment's time we'll leave with nothing left
As darkness hold you high
Another passes by
So dim the dimming lights
Before we think they can survive
