Finals Week.

I'm looking forward to Wedding Season 2010! I've been toying with some ideas that I may start experimenting with before too long, but I wanted to post a couple shots!

Here is yours truly!



And my roommate, Drew.



I haven't forgotten my pre-new years resolutions! They are in the works!

Christmas Time

Today is Thanksgiving. Which means it is now OFFICIALLY Christmas time. Tradition at the Walker Household dictates that today we put up the Christmas tree and decorate it as a family. Little known fact about myself: I used to throw a fit at doing this. Why? I'm not really sure. All I know is now its a tradition that I love! When we were done, I grabbed my gear to replace some batteries and I played around with my flash, shooting it off in my family's eyes to pester them...then I realized, "Oh...I could take some pictures too."

And this is for everyone! Here is MY new year's resolution. Yes, I know those come about a month and a few days after right now, but this is what I am resolving to accomplish before the new year starts! I'm going to update the blog design, switch to wordpress, and update the website. I just have been so busy as of late, that I haven't been able to. There you go, my New Year's Resolution.

I LOVE this time of year. Here's a few shots from the Walker Christmas Decor. Also, if you click for fullsize of the last image, it's wallpaper size for your enjoyment. Feel free to share it with anyone (it's my wallpaper now!).

silence.

i usually dont do this, because it's not the purpose of this blog. however i needed a channel to vent. this is just me writing. notice, it's not meant for "artistic writing" or even "coherent writing," rather its just tracking my mind going point to point. there's no structure, no purpose, nothing like that. its just writing. i have no way to know who even reads this blog, so i'm not hoping for response by any means. response is more than welcome on all posts, but i'm not doing this for that purpose. again, i'm merely putting it here to put it somewhere. i dont even know how to explain it all.

"Be still and know that I am God"

silence is taking over

but its not impeding or imposing on my life

historically its brought good and bad
before interrogators and accusers.

by cliché, it’s deafening
i would argue that its “deathening”

i want it to end.
i want it to resolve.
the issue about never makes its way from my mind
i need it all to leave my life.
but not all.

parts I want back
not as it used to be, despite my desires.
i want it back, in a different form
to take the place of the silence filling me.

my silence is filled with conversation
between myself
between God
between others
between a wall.
anything

for years its something I haven’t known
i’m now suffering through the relearning
god’s called me to this time of silence

even though I argue with him about it

he and I both know its best,
hopefully other people see it too.
in the end it’ll bear its fruit
but the planting and watering is painful

not an unbearable pain

but a different one
a foreign pain I cannot explain
pain may not even be the appropriate word

but I cling to the hope that it will pass
that this is not forever
its already fading yet keeping intensity
i cannot explain the monster of silence
but to proclaim it was not by choice.

i cling to my rock.

this post serves no purpose
it has no point.
in no way is it art, but merely expression.
i’m no word composer or artist.
i just needed an outlet.
i just needed to speak through the silence

concert at obu during christian focus week. all thanks to cab. it was great. i think it may be my favorite concert of all time. it's rare that there's such an amazing spirit of worship while at a concert, but that was definitely the case.
