Staring at pictures



I was at this art show on Saturday called "Beautiful Losers". It was a series of poppy art and what not. Some of it was really cool and some of it was stupid. But the only sections that I seemd to get intersted the most were Photos. Yup. Its weird. I will see a cool design or painting and think how cool it was. But the B&W photos really cativates me at times.

It makes me think about how weird it is that some photos are so timeless and yet all it is a snapshot of a momment. We take snap shot with our brains. Memories. But they are never acurate. Not like a photo. But it's also kinda cool cause unlike a video, a particular photo will tell a different story to everyone.

My mother called today and told me that she just came back from Greece to Korea. She was telling me that she went to the Parthenon. I asked if she took a picture of it and she said that she didn't but she will always have it in her memory. A mental snapshot.

Mental snapshots... I have so many and yet I wonder how acurate they are.

Being a man.

Sometimes being a man feels like being surrounded by pile of crap

I was talking about what it really means to be a man the other day with none other than Da ultra man himself... Hoon.

I read the other day that a real man is a person who thinks of million different reasons to quit a job and yet finds one reason not to quit. His responsibility. (Family and such) That really hit me hard. All these adolescent years of thinking that being a man was being a big shot and making cash and being just a cool guy. What a load of crap.

Being a man is so much more than being someone that you want your ideal self to be. Some people ideally want to be something and go out of their way to fit into their mold of being an ideal person. Which in the end is an act of lunacy. Cause no one is really that cool... And yes Not even your favorite blogger himself "Da Fevah". (shocking isn't it) But I understand the struggle. Who doesn't want to be cool or mysterious to a certain degree? But before you can be an ideal anything, lets be a man! I need God to show me how to really be a man! A man after God's heart. A man who can go through the worst and smile knowing that God is in control.

Lord give me the strength to be a man.
