Since it's almost Christmas, you know, the holidays, and all that holiday jazz (holiday jazz, incidentally, often sucks--very, very badly), I thought I would post the lyrics to one of my original songs which happens to be about Christmas. It's not on my upcoming CD, but it might be on the next one. You'll just have to stay in touch to find out.
(For anyone who is interested in my upcoming CD, recording is going well and should be finished tomorrow [Christmas Eve]. I'm hoping to put up some sort of website on it, which will have any news or updates which may happen and definitely some lyrics, since I hate listening to CDs when I can't look up the lyrics. If and when that webpage comes into existence, I'll post the link here on my blog.)
PARADOXOLOGY by AJ Harbison
The unbelievable believed
The impossible done
Eternity subject to time
Eternal God is born a Son
The King is born to lowly peasants
Eternal Word encased in flesh
Becomes a curse so we are blessed
His life perfected by His death
We believe it, it is the truth of love come down
And it's a mystery how the God of all could love me now
Knowing all I've done and all I am, what I couldn't do He did
The child of wrath, a child of promise
We hated Him, but He loved us
While we were sinners, Christ came
He died to save His chosen ones
We believe it, it is the truth of love come down
And it's a mystery how the God of all could love me now
Knowing all I've done and all I am
Knowing all I've done and all I am
You know all I've done and all I am, what I couldn't do You did

A Little Humor For Your Breaks Whilst Studying For Finals
So I came across this webpage with a lot of random Douglas Adams quotes. These are my favorites:
"The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
"The mere thought hadn't even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind."
"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't."
"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.There is another theory which states that this has already happened."
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Props for confusing grammar: "That young girl is one of the least benightedly unintelligent organic life forms it has been my profound lack of pleasure not to be able to avoid meeting."
Props for understatement: "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the drug store, but that's just peanuts to space."
And finally, props for my favorite: "Arthur hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realised there was a contradiction there and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife."
(That last one is for Andrew, who doesn't even read this blog, but who said: "They say brevity is the soul of wit, but it isn't. Subtlety is the soul of wit." What a smart guy.)

This One's For Stephen
You guys hear the one about the Christian couple who decide they want to get a Christian pet? They find a kennel specializing in Christian dogs. They pick out a dog they really like. When they ask the dog to fetch the Bible, he does it in a flash. When they tell him to look up Psalm 23, he does it, using his paws with dexterity. They're impressed, so they buy the animal and go home. That night they have friends over. They're so proud of their new Christian dog and his religious skills, they call the dog and start showing him off. The friends are impressed, but they ask if the dog can do any of the usual dog tricks. The couple says, "Well, let's find out." The man says, "Sit!" The dog does nothing. The woman says, ""Lie down!" Zippo. One of the guests says, "Heel!" The couple gets very excited as the dog gets up and goes to the guest, till he puts his paw on the guest's forehead, closes his eyes, and starts to pray.
