whoohoo!

The day after a good day, with a stupid conversation.

Yesterday was a pretty great day, I didn't go to many of my classes. I know, that's bad, right? I don't think so. It was just one of those days where I needed a break from the mundane, and it was really good to just hang out and have a carefree day. Last night a bunch of us (i.e. Ezra, Matt, Michael, Joel, Andrea, Hannah, Jo, David, and I) went go carting at the "Enchanted Castle", which was pretty lame, but really fun because it was a group of 9 college students going go carting in this small indoor park, and Ezra, the crazy pacific islander, was smashing into other drivers. It was really funny to watch, since we had to split into two groups. Andrea was first, and ended up being last, because she wasn't that great at driving. It was a good time, though. After that, we played some mini golf, during which I was the only person to hit my golf ball into the water hazard. Although this sound bad, I wasn't the worst player. Then we headed to Wheaton and had ice cream at the Seven Dwarfs restaurant, which was pretty good. I gave Nate a call but he was in musical rehearsal until 11:30, so we didn't get to hang out. We drove back to school, and Ezra, Matt, Andrea and I went for a drive to Highland Park to hang out and smoke a cigar. We ended up hanging out there until about 2 am, just talking about stuff. Afterwards, when we got back to Trinity, we prayed together, which was really good. Then I slept until about 12:30 today. I got online, and I had a conversation with Drew, the guy who draws the comics at www.toothpastefordinner.com. It was going well, and he was asking me a lot of questions, and then I asked him a few, and he said "its a bummer answering a bunch of personal questions, I'll see you later." and he signed off. What a lamewad.

Something you definitely need to do.

Hello everyone, here is something that you need to do. get those little fingers moving and type www.youtube.com into your browser, and search for the user: drewtoothpaste. Watch all the videos, and your life will be better. Plain and simple. Drew is hilarious, and probably one of the funniest people alive. Do yourself a favor and go there.

we're off to the races again.

I signed my contract for dp3 next year. I will be leading our floor bible study and be the spiritual leader for the floor. Looks like I have a lot of maturing to do. I know that God's power is made perfect in our own weakness, but a lot of times I think that if I try REALLY hard, and work at it I can become a super Christian, which (by the way), is not really possible. Oh well, it was worth a shot. I guess I am still going to have to rely on God's grace and mercy, and cope with the fact that I screw up way more than I ever want to admit. God is such a curious being, I am always bewildered at his mercy, grace, and forgiveness, and completely amazed that He continues to bless me day in and day out, when many times I don't stop to even give him the time of day. Not that he needs the time, anyway. After all, he DID create it. Not to mention it doesn't really apply to Him, but that is just getting into a whole other confusing topic, so I am going to stick to loving Him in the confusing times, holding onto Him in the tough times, and strive to humble myself before Him and seek His face at ALL times. It's going to be hard, but so worth it. You should give it a try. If you are having a hard time with it, give me a call, I would be glad to pray with you. Not because I could give you advice, but because I am working on pursuing God as well. We're both in this together.

Something I have realized as of late.

I put no effort into my relationships, and I wonder why others don't get a hold of ME?

How selfish of me!

For those I have forgotten, shafted, left waiting, taken advantage of, taken for granted, and used, I am so sorry. It's not you, it's me. I am just thankful you all are so dedicated where I am so selfish. Lord, please forgive me for this sin of selfishness, and friends, please forgive me for not noticing you. I am so grateful for you, don't think otherwise, I have just realized that for some reason I just didn't think that I needed to do anything about it.

Well. I was wrong. Expect a phone call/ email.
