Stuff that I didn't write (but you'll like it, you'll like it)

I'm gonna start off with the Bible. Ha ha, say I'm lazy and this sucks now...you can't diss the Bible...

Then the one who looked like a man touched me again, and I felt my strength returning. "Don't be afraid," he said, "for you are deeply loved by God. Be at peace; take heart and be strong!" As he spoke these words, I suddenly felt stronger and said to him, "Now you may speak, my lord, for you have strengthened me."
-Daniel 10:18-19

And finally, an excerpt from "A Letter from Jesus Christ to the Soul that Really Loves Him" by John of Landsberg, 1555.

One thing I have to warn you of especially is your constant tendency to grow fainthearted under the weight of your faults and oversights and an inclination almost to despair when a sudden lack of confidence reduces your firm decisions to nothing. I know those moods when you sit there utterly alone, eaten up with unhappiness, in a pure state of grief...In fact, I don't want you to rely on your own strength and abilities and plans, but to distrust them and to distrust yourself, and to trust me and no one and nothing else...You must not despair of me. You must hope and trust in me absolutely. My mercy is infinite...

There. Now, isn't that a lot nicer than me talking about that new Gorillaz song? (I'm obsessed with it. The lyrics make absolutely no sense, and it begins with maniacal laughter, but I'm obsessed with it. All for that intoxicating bass line and that pensive guitar riff.

Correction: The maniacal laughter is in the middle, too. And the end. It's kinda creepy. But I still like it.)
