Pride & Gratefulness

Pride: (unduly) high opinion of oneself; arrogance

Arguably the worst of the classical 7 deadly sins, the hubris of mankind has always been boundless. Mankind (or at least, ME) prides itself on being autonomous, self-created and freestanding. The result? A world with no need of God and no sense of gratitude. This, is probably my greatest fault.

Grace: Theology.

a.	the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God.

b.	the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.

c.	a virtue or excellence of divine origin: the Christian graces.

d.	Also called state of grace. the condition of being in God's favor or one of the elect.

"You have given so much to me. Give me one thing more - a grateful heart." - George Herbert

I seriously need to learn from this guy.

Banana Pancakes

Cant you see that its just raining
Ain't no need to go outside...
But Baby, You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
I'll make you banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
Aint no need to go outside

But just maybe like a ukulele
Mommy made a baby
Really don't mind the practice
Cause your my little lady
Lady lady love me
Cause I love to lay here lazy
We could close the curtains
Pretend like there's no world outside

And we could pretend it all the time
Cant you see that its just raining
Aint no need to go outside
Aint no need aint no need Mmmm MMmmm
Cant you see cant you see
Rain all day
And I don't mind.

The telephone is singing
Ringing its too early
Don't pick it up
We don't need to we got everything
We need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy
When the whole world fits inside of your arms
Don't really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow, yeah wake up slow

Baby, you hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song is meant to keep ya
From doing what your supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we can sleep in
Ill make you banana pancakes
Pretend like its the weekend now

And we could pretend it all the time
Can't you see that it's just raining
Aint no need to go outside
Aint no need, Aint no need
Rain all day and I really really really don't mind
Can't you see cant you see,
You gotta wake up slow

- "Banana Pancakes", Jack Johnson

Ok, let me get this part out of the way first. This is one really nice song. The rhythm, the beat, the lyrics...everything. Actually, I just like most of Jack Johnson's stuff. And for once, I'm gonna associate this with something nice.

I knew it was coming actually. Thats why I said whatever I could that was...appropriate.

Still, no matter what happens from now on, at least this song will always remind me of the time when the biggest problem we had was choosing between scones and banana pancakes.

Stupid for you

It's not everyday
That I find a person quite like you
Perfect every way
I finally found the nerve to confess that it's you - that I want
I don't care if I act a fool
I would damn near beg for you
Put aside, all my pride
So don't keep me hanging here
Cause this girl is falling stupid for you..
Oh, oh stupid for you..

The proper thing to do
Is for me to act like a lady and wait
For you to make the first move

But I don't think you're getting the point
That it's you - that I want
I don't care if I act a fool
I would damn near beg for you
Put aside, all my pride
So don't keep me hanging here
Cause this girl is falling stupid for you
Oh, oh stupid for you

Why's it always feel like I am
Chasing love when nothing's there
And here I go just making the same mistakes...

I've fallen stupid for you..
oh, oh stupid for you..
oh, oh, oh, oh

- "Stupid for you", Marie Digby

Ok, so maybe I need to change the lyrics to a guy's perspective. Still, that doesn't change the fact that I'm stupid for you, about you, when I'm with you...basically, I turn into an idiot whenever and wherever you're concerned.

I'm such an idiot. One would have thought I would have learned my lesson by now.

P.S. It is a nice song btw. Pretty catchy. Too bad I tend to associate good things with bad stuff. Oh wells.
