So I realized that I always name my blogs by a song,  I guess its just easier that way. So what did I learn today? That opening up and trusting people and being totally honest with them, can actually bring you closer together. I have this amazing friend, and we finally admitted that we used to have feelings for each other, and after that we;re totally alot better friends now, which is weird I guess.

So today was a total chillaxing day fro me cause i really ddint do anything. East Carib won, making saturday's la coupe finals the best ever lol! I'm excited for the weekend hope this one can be as much fun as I'm imagining right now lol.

Peace up A-town down World.!

Ok, so it's another day in the life of Shanna Emmanuel. Any you ask yourself, what went on, pretty boring, just kinda went classes and chilled out with some friends. I know I said I was taking a vow of silence but it's kinda hard to do. I guess I'm gonna have to adjust certain characteristics about me.

So I'm still going to rehearsals like every single night, and the truth is I'm not really sure as to where this play is going. I mean the director is friggin amazing dont get me wrong, but the script has some serious flaws. i mean serious, and the fact that he doesn't know that much about the actual story is causing some serious problems for us as the on looking audience. But tonight I got everyone to do trust falls, it was lots of fun! I miss feeling like that i think that from now on when it comes to MAGS anytime we start to feel really stressed out and stuff, then we are gonna have to do a fun activity like that to help us come back together and focus. I saw how just simply lightening up the atmosphere of a rehearsal and how that can get people working together and stuff again. It shows the way the human mind works and how once we re-focus and come back together we can get a job done so much better, and with much less stress. So today's less: LIGHTEN THE HELL UP! LIFE IS A LOT EASIER WHEN YOU'RE SMILING!

Sorry, that song was just stuck in my head. Itweird how songs get rapped in there isn't it? I find that sometimes I have the strangest songs just floating around in there, like the titile. Well, about today woke up way too late to go to church, prolly because I went to bed at like 4:45am Dumb huh? lol But yeah so i slept until porlly 1pm, then my roomates came home we ate spahaghetti that didnt taste so great, but who's really asking? lol

Just kinda culled for the rest of the day, it was predictable.

Today was one of those experience that I hope I never forget. I visited a Mosque for the first time today. It was truly an eye opening experience. As someone who was born and raised in the Seventh Day Adventist faith, I would like to believe that it is not all that defines me. I think that seeing how Muslims worship is something that has truly has an impact on my life. I always say that if I had more time I would pray more, but today i ask myself hat honestly, and the truth is I cant honestly say that I would spend my extra time with God. I saw a group of people who dedicate themselves so much to what they believe in, that it is a natural part of them. And I fell in love with their dedication. In a world where commitment to anything scares people, it is so good to see people who take their commitment to their creator so seriously. Although I still haven't made up my mind about where the truth lie, I think God has definitely put me on a path on finding the truth that I have wanted for so long.

Recently a lot of my beliefs have been confronted by all sorts of different people with all sorts of different beliefs.  things like creation, and the role of Jesus Christ, have been brought to the forefront of so many discussions that I have had the privilege to be a part of. I think that I live in a time where questions and answers are both greatly needed. A time when complacency cannot work any more.

I was listening to this song by Lee Ann Wormack and it made me think.

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give fate a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance, I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances, but they're worth taking
Loving might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance

I hope you dance (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens.
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
I hope you dance (time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)
repeat 1x
I hope you dance

I really hope that in all things I do I take the chance because it is those times when you are so scared of everything falling apart that you become aware of just what it is that you are made of... Well i think I made up for the fact that I didn't post on Thursday, sorry it was a really long day, and i came home really late (We had a La Coupe Basketball Game)

Goodnite World!
