ice. complex. russian. faceless. reflection

things I don't understand: ice fishing.

rant:
People who are feeling guilty who guilt trip others so they will feel less guilty.
Sorry, that's a confusing statement.
Let me explain what I mean.
Here's how it works.
Person A is sitting around doing nothing.
Person B sees work that needs to be done and proceeds to do it.
Person A sees B doing work and realizes they should help. But A doesn't really want to help and has feelings of irritation towards B for 'causing' them to feel guilty for not being a productive member of society. A then makes remarks to B expressing their desire for them to stop being so helpful and start doing nothing, like them.
Person B is like, 'What the heck?' and is in turn irritated by A's weird little guilt-tripping complex.
This is stupid and should never happen, right?
I wish.
For the love of all things good and decent, don't be person A.

Things I don't understand: Chocolate Chip Ice cream. It's like someone just forgot the cookie dough part. The cookie dough part is the good part.
Chocolate chips are just there to enhance the cookie dough.
Like makeup. But makeup is no good if you don't have a face.
So chocolate chips are pretty much pointless without cookie dough.

I love Ivan and Alyosha.
For those of you are not sure what that statement really means, let me elaborate-ish.
Ivan and Alyosha is a super-legit band from Washington state.
Their name comes from the names of the two main characters of the novel "Brothers Karamazov" by Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
They're all really nice people.
And most importantly, the two times I've seen them live were some of my favorite concerts. ever.
Here's three of my favorite songs by them.
listen. enjoy. or not.

I was born to love her - 'and if the sky should fall, and the morning birds not call, you must know, how I love you so.'

Easy to love - 'If the sky turns black, and you know it will from time to time, we've been through that, and we came out on top, because...'

Everything is burning- 'and there's a bridge that we're crossing...'

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you had a day of family, food, and most of all, reflection on all the amazing things God has done for us.
