meant to live...

for those of you who know me you would know that i am a pretty serious switchfoot fan. i love those guys. i think if i could be in anyone else's shoes it would be theirs. surf-rockers from southern california. i mean...come on! anyway, i popped in their newest album today just so i could listen to the ever so popular rock ballad meant to live. i felt it was quite appropriate for the moment. some people might think of me as being cynical, maybe judgmental, others may consider me malcontent. but whatever the case may be i can't help looking at life with the mindset that we are created to live for so much more than what we settle for. so much more than what society hands us. this afternoon i played the song over and over again while singing at the top of my lungs. sometimes i feel like we burn away long hours in the day just to meet the status quo but never truly begin to live. if you think i am cynic please be patient with me. i don't have the answers cause i'm still learning how to breathe in these abundant skies.

by the way, switchfoot will be in concert down in austin on november 13th i believe. anyone up for a road trip?
