Capn Kirk
I got a new album last week that I am absolutely loving, Bob Schneider - I'm Good Now. I'm digging the whole album, but one song I really like is Capn Kirk. Here's a sample of the lyrics:
I want to be like captain kirk
get up everyday and love to go to work
don't want to be like mr spock
want to kick out the jams and rock the block
I just want to feel good
I don't want to hurt nobody
I just want to get a good time out of my life
I want to be like Jesus Christ
keep the party moving giving good advice
I don't need to be no superman
I just want to do the best I can
Amen, Bob!
I'm currently reading Blue Like Jazz and I highly recommend it. I went to starbucks last night and just sat there listening to Coltrane and reading. I enjoyed it throughly! Its amazing how sometimes you can read a book and feel as if you could be reading your own journal of thoughts for the last year. That's what its been like with this book for me. I wanted to share a couple parts that really hit home to me, but there has been many parts that have. So - I'll leave you with the most recent portion that just made me think... yes.
I suppose what I wanted back then is what every Christian wants, whether they understand themselves or not. What I wanted was God. I wanted tangible interaction. But even more than that, to be honest, I wanted to know who I was. I felt like a robot or an insect or a mysterious blob floating around in the universe. I believed if I could contact God, He would be able to explain who and why I was.
