Come Winter...

"We put no stumbling block in anyone's path, so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance: in troubles, in hardships and distresses; in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger; in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors; known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed; sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything."
-2 Corinthians 6:3-10

I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business

"Ok, I Believe You, but My SHOVEL Don't..."

Lyrics that please me...

I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business

"I sink into the wall.
And staring up I saw,
I'm alone in all my thoughts,
Too afraid to be crazy I run.
It always finds me driving right through town,
With the windows down I fly.
Its the feeling spring has brought,
But an eye for the winter's what I got,
It always finds me...

So tonight,
When I left here,
All said was goodbye and thats alright.
No "I'll see you later",
I've been trying my whole life.
And if its an eye for an eye why cant I get this right?
I'm too slow to go fast,
I'm too nervous to do that,
So I run, run away. Why should I?...

I take my chances slow,
After all it's no one's fault.
But the pain seems to crave my life,
So ashamed of my weakness I lie.
It always finds me...

So tonight
When I left here,
All I said was goodbye and thats alright.
No "I'll see you later",
I've been trying my whole life.
And if its an eye for an eye why cant i get this right?
I'm too slow to go fast,
I'm too nervous to do that.
So I run, run away. Why should I?...

Why should I?
Why should I?
Why should I?"

...And the Life I Have

The Sun is out
I am Happy.

And this could be another reason for my happiness:


And this:


Wait... And this:


And this... Of course:


But most of all:


I'm not sure how I became deserving of all this, but I grow more and more grateful everyday that passes for all I've been given. My life would be empty without the Lords grace and mercy to drive me to become better and better in the eyes of He that matters most...

God is Good...All the Time.

I Can't Hide From My Own Eyes...

So, politics:

I was talking to my friends yesterday, and my sister, and I have decided that I don't care if we have an African American president, nor do I care of McCain wins. My mentality is this:

ANYBODY BUT HILARY.

Then I also came to this conclusion: God won't let Hilary Clinton win the election, nor will He, the Lord Almighty, allow a woman to lead this country. I am not a sexist by any means, but I am well aware of the emotional instability that lies within all women. All women. Hilary's interview proved it, where she burst out crying while speaking of "plans" for this country. If she did become president, and I were a terrorist, I would bomb the flahootie out of the capital city due to stupidity. All countries would laugh at us, without a doubt. And, according most recent polls: if Obama wins the Democratic majority vote, and McCain wins the Republican vote; Obama will have a better chance of beating McCain. If Hilary wins the Democratic vote (hell on earth), and McCain wins the Republicans, McCain would annihilate Hilary in a no-contest battle. Hilary starts out with 47% of the country against her... HA! Not a really good place to start out, I'd say.

So, let us all rejoice in the fact that God is Good All the Time and He who is Holy will not let someone such as Hilary win the most powerful position in the entire world... Amen?

And When It's All Over, We Still Have Each Other...

My To-Do List:
(I thought I was kind of stupid doing this, but the I remembered Angela did it,
and then Carmen did it, and anything Angela does is ALWAYS cool, and everything
Carmen does is perfect, so...)

-Math Test
-Finish Halo 3 with Londo
-Start my take-home quiz from Comm. Class
-Drink Coffee
-Take Travis out to dinner
-Start playing Halo 3 again with Londo
-Sleep (?)

It's Friday, and I'm pumped. My life has been blessed this past week, and just in that time I have a whole new outlook on my life so far. I am continuing to become more of a Christ-like example, and it's great.

My new favorite band is "Daphne Loves Derby" (Kayla will probably tell me she's glad I'm a 14-year-old girl, because that's what she said when I told her I liked "The Academy Is..."). Their acoustic album is great, and I highly recommend it to all who like an easy listen, or need a musical "out." My favorite song by them right now is called "Hopeless Love," which says absolutely nothing about Carmen and I. We're not hopeless loves, we're hopelessly in love, so... take that.

Wind sucks, but God is Good, All the Time...

Let's party

So I'll Stay Here, But Be Gone For Another Year...

So, as we all know, last week was basically a week off of school... Basically... And in such actions, obviously homework is not a priority, so naturally time is spent with friends, movies, and video games. I can just say right now that I'm never putting homework off again. I feel stupid. Homework will be conquered, and I will win! Whaaaahahahahahaha!!!

Anyway, I love Carmen, and that's pretty much all my life amounts to right now. Carmen, you are the center of my universe, and I love you with all the love one could love a lover with...

Be with me forever, my love...

It was meant to be...

100 Days for a Hopeless Case

...I just liked that title...
(made it up myself)

I work today, at Costco, for 4.5 hours. It won't be bad, besides, I like making my own money so I can do things I like doing. I also have to budget myself to pay for my car payments, and I'm going to start paying cell-phone payments-mainly because Verizon is filled with a bunch of bastards... I don't really like them right now. AT&T is looking more and more promising everyday. Mainly because of the Blackjack. Anyway-

The other day I realized that I need to work on holding my tongue more often than not. For example: I was walking by the PUB bus stop the other day during a snow storm. There was a narrow path to the door I wanted to go in and two Asians were approaching me from the opposite direction. Due to my ignorance, I was not going to move. So I basically ran into these two Asians. After which I said to them "Oh, excuse me. There's not enough room in American for the three of us!" Then I walked away.

After said incident, I felt a little guilty about what I had said. Then I realized two things: 1.) I need to work on my opinionated soul before I go straight to hell, and 2.) What I said kind of has some truth behind it. The whole 'not enough room' thing applies mainly to the inland North West... so, we can only take in so many Asians, ok? Immigrate to Texas, or America's Bread Basket for crying out loud (Kansas), somewhere that can officially take you in and say "yep, we've got room," not "wow, we're getting a little crowded around here, mmkay?" It's upsetting to know that Asians basically get a free ride to any American college they want because they're foreigners. That's not right in my eyes... And why do they immigrate over here all the time? 2 million a month, I heard (that's a combination of all immigrants, by the way. Though a majority of them are Asian, I presume. Probably because I'm biast, but oh well). What is so bad about Asia that you have to com over here? I mean, I understand the Korea thing, I mean, I wouldn't even live in the safe part of Korea. But China and Japan... come on. And I heard that the entire worlds population could fit within the Texas borders. In Texas. 6 billion people... That's sayin' somethin'...

Well, such is life... Hopefully before Bush resigns from office, he'll be able to crack down on illegal immigration like he has been saying for a while. I love Bush, don't get me wrong, but I'm kind of sick and tired of these immigrants who don't speak english. I am only racist against those individuals who won't adapt to American society. And that starts with learning the language, hokay? Right on, let's do this...

"In all our troubles, my joy knows no bounds"
