Lonely Algorithms

I had a tough night last night. To say it simply. I had a nightmare and I didn't want to fall back asleep. My Mom wanted me to try some things to go to sleep, I refused. Not physically but mentally. I watched videos on YouTube trying to get myself to laugh and subconsciously trying to figure out why I am still alone. I usually turn to this algorithm after a nightmare, thinking that perhaps some of the reasons I have nightmares are because I am consumed with loneliness when I sleep. What I need to realize is that I'm not alone as much as it feels as if I am, I have my Savior and though being married in this life is extremely important to me, I must not be so consumed that eternally I realize that I will never be alone and that is a truly beautiful algorithm to chew on.

Best,
Alex

That's it for now =)

Shut the Front Door!

As someone who enjoys writing, I have found that it keeps me busy (there's not a lot to do around a hospital for a month, aside from watching Castle (the best new show on my side of town if I say so myself. So with writers' block for my current manuscript "The African Tree" (and the fact that the actually manuscript itself was lost when my computer crashed doesn't really help either) (back up your computers, writers! and normal people too) But anyway, friend of mine convinced me to start blogging so here it goes. Nothing fancy for the first one in awhile. I will carry on in usual Elephant blog fashion with "Quote of the Day" "What I'm Listening too" "Lyrics of the day" "What I'm reading" "Philosophical thought of the day" (which may or may not be the same as quote of the day) "what I'm watching" and what ever else I may think to add to the elephant section.

Quote of the day
"Shut the front door!!" -Kate Beckett
What I'm listening to: Adele- absolutely brilliant
What I'm reading: "Go, Dog, Go" by P.D. Eastman [it's my reading capacity right now and I happen to like it...so deal with it)

Lyrics of the day-I'm a hopeless romantic who happens to be in love so love this song...Adele does a great job with it.

Make You Feel My Love

When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven't made
Your mind up yet
But I would never
Do you wrong
I've known it
From the moment
That we met
No doubt in my mind
Where you belong

I'd go hungry
I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling
Down the avenue
No, there's nothing
That I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love

The storms are raging
On the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
Though winds of change
Are throwing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing
Like me yet

I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends
Of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love"

-Bob Dylan
