i’m skipping my 8 a.m. class tomorrow. i just thought you all might like to know.

“The workers started at 6:30 in the morning
They got up bright and early to fix the roof next door and
Workers climbed, hammers chimed, pounding nails in double time
Bang, bang, the nail guns rang out, they sang out, I woke up

I combed my hair, walked downstairs, water running everywhere
Just inside the kitchen door, puddles are forming on the floor
Must have been the shower or the sink, something sprung a leak
Grabbed my keys and stepped outside, got on my bike to take a ride

Who cares about tomorrow
When everything is going wrong today
I guess I’m finally figuring out, it doesn’t help to whine about it
Ohh, I should have stayed in bed today

At 41st and Harvard the rain started coming down
I should have payed attention to the gray clouds hanging over town
Finally found under an overhang, sat on my bike and watched it rain
Soaked to the bone, I’m all alone, I groan, I’m still five miles from home.

Who cares about tomorrow
When everything is going wrong today
I guess I’m finally figuring out, it doesn’t help to whine about it
Ohh, I should have stayed in bed today”

I ran camera for the first time in chapel today. It was pretty cool. However…. was pretty nervous about it…. got a little sick to the stomach for a bit.. but all in all was ok. Oh yeah, and it is impossible to acknowledge someone while on the camera….. Just to any of you who happen to know anyone who runs camera… don’t take offense if they completely ignore you while they are doing so. It doesn’t mean they hate you… it means they are live 😉 I had to fight the urge today 😉

I just got back from the library a little bit ago… where Karissa nearly flung her pencil into someone’s eye. Ok, not really, but ummm.. that was kind of the mental picture i had which made it so funny. In actuality it just was thrown over her shoulder and fell from the 2nd floor down to the first floor. Luckily for the innocent bystanders, none of them occupied the space which the pencil fell to.

Anyway, I’m really tired… so now that Futurama has ended… I am going to go to sleep. Hope you all have a great day tomorrow. Umm.. yeah. Night.

i have to wake up at like… 6:30 tomorrow… so I can get ready… and eat breakfast… before i have to be in the studio at 7:30. Then I have class, then I run camera 2 in chapel. fun.

In other news… I converted the closet in our room into my own personal bedroom. A special thanks goes out to Kirk who originated this fine idea. Having my own bedroom rocks 😉

So… the superbowl. They sure are… gonna play it… tonight. I think I’m gonna go for the bucs… cuz well… they’re the team down here… and… I can’t say I’ve ever really been a fan of the raiders. so yeah. we’ll see what happens.

In other news…. you may want to go update yourself with what is going on with Cheeses of Nazareth. It’s some pretty cool stuff…. 😉 anyway…. that’s all. later.

Update: So the Bucs did well. They have made me proud.

All right… I don’t know what the crap is up with Florida… but…. I’m starting to get sick of this coldness. I’m not in MD, so why does the weather outside make it feel like I am?

On another note, I went and saw a movie last nighr… ummm… “A Guy Thing”. It was all right, kind of. It had some funny parts, but I definately wouldn’t go see it again. Nor would I reccomend it to anyone save if they had absolutely nothing better to do and have already seen every other movie currently out (with the exception of Drumline, which I refuse to believe has the potential of being a good movie. Why in the crap does like EVERYONE want to see it anyway? ;))

I guess that’s pretty much all I can write about at the moment. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

so in fixing karissa’s computer… i have decided i need to tell you all… NEVER buy a computer which has a small case.  for the love of all that is holy and good…get the BIGGEST stinking case you can find!  It should take up like half a room.  This is good so that when you want me to fix it I can actually fit like my entire hand inside it.  Oh yeah, and if you have a compaq you should just give it a few good whacks with a baseball bat…. throw it away…and buy a new non-compaq computer.  that is all.

Wow… I really feel a lot better then I did about an hour ago. Venting stuff can be a really good thing.

Life can be very frustrating at times. Especially when you hate something about who you are and are trying to change it and since people already accept you that way and expect you to be that way they make it even more difficult for you to. I guess people shouldn’t assume that just because you are a certain way that you are content to be that way.

Is kind of funny though, there is something that is constantly bugging me. I guess first you have to understand that I have a tendancy to dwell on the negative. But anyway, I think I figured out what it actually comes down to. I think that I lack trust that God will provide everything that I need. I guess in all honesty I haven’t come to the point where I am content with just God and anything else is an added bonus. Am working on it though.

Maybe once I get there everything else will fall into place. I wish change were easier… but I guess anything worth doing is worth the effort.

I’ll figure out something, I guess.

Anyway, now that I have said all that… here is a great interview I read earlier today. It is another Pedro the Lion one. Definately read this though. He explains a lot of his opinions and whether you agree with him or not, it makes you think, and thinking is good for you, no matter what media might tell you. [ click here ]

Oh yeah, and as you can see I finally got rid of that horrid picture… 😉

“Thoughts pass by like a river flows
Must be hard to keep track where you came from.
I’d float down stand right next to you
Something is causing a lull in the traffic.
An empire is moving, the grass overgrown
I’d blow this whole world to pieces to not be alone.
This shovel’s been digging all day long
Can’t even seem to make a scratch.
Scratching the surface,
What is the purpose?
I’ll always be stopped by the why can’t I
Why can’t I be you?
And put those hands away
I go through this everyday.

Sounds like a radio tuned to white noise.
Softer slowly softer.
Can’t this thing go any faster and
For everyone to see it’s only killing me.

Awake in this cold cell I,
I just hope you’re happy.
Awake in this cold cell I
Break my body against the wall.
Awake in this cold cell I,
I am my only devil.
Why can’t I be you?
And put those hands away
I go through this everyday.

Sounds like a radio tuned to white noise.
Softer slowly softer.
Can’t this thing go any faster and
For everyone to see it’s only killing me.”

Was just browsing around the web… came across this page… thought it was pretty funny… good ‘ol g.i. joe.

This weekend went by fast. It doesn’t feel like tomorrow should be Monday. Am in a weird mood too. Have been kind of fluctuating all day. Not really a fun thing… but oh well.

Went to a pretty cool church today. Definately my favorite of any of the many that I have attended since I have been down here. It will be the second church down here to recieve more then 1 visit from me. Perhaps I may even attend it regularly. It is too early to tell.. but.. maybe.

So anyway, back to what I was talking about. Today was a good day with the exception of the fact that for some reason I insisted on being mildly depressed. I continue to suffer from my own stupidity by insisting to dwell on negative things. You’d think knowing the problem, and having known about it for some time, that I would be able to do something about it. But well, it just doesn’t seem to happen. Of course, a lot of stuff that has been going on has not really helped the issue any.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Oh, and if you’re reading this and it happens to be your birthday (though she is probably not reading this…), happy birthday.

Godspeed.
