i never walked on water,
never saw a reason to be goin out that far.
i never found a star then made a wish,
but now the sky is list'nin to my heart.

they can break me, make me, if they want they can chase me.
love me, hate me, i don't care any more.

till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, my dreams are awakening
somebody is makin me the only one in the room.
what no body could do, no body till you.

and the more you talk, the less i fear.
no matter what you say, we're still on the same hemisphere.
and there's comfort in just knowing that wherever i go
a part of me is stayin here. with you.

so take me, shake me, if you want you can chase me.
love me for me, and stay away from the door.

till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, my dreams are awakening
somebody is makin me the only one in the room.
what no body could do, no body till you.

what kinda world would it be if you ever went away?
oh. and i, i can't go back to what i had,
cause it will never be the same.

till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, my dreams are awakening
somebody is makin me the only one in the room.
what no body could do, no body
till you, i was nothin but lonely nights,
there was nothin but sad goodbye's for me to fall through.
come true, i'm awakening, you're shakin me
no body knew what to do, no body till-
no body till you, there were lonely nights.
till you, there were sad goodbye's.
come true, i'm awakening, you're shakin me.
no body knew what to do, no body till-

no body till you.

well today is my birthday...
fifteen wonderful God blessed years!

jen

Hows this? I know, beautiful. I'm speechless! I mean without the redeye.
I'll do some more later.

Let me begin by saying that I understand that not everyone who reads my posts believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died on a cross to save us from a life of rules and regulations, and a life that would end in hell.  If you've ever studied the Old Testament, you know that before Jesus, God's people had to go through a lot of work to gain forgiveness for the smallest infractions (small in my eyes, not in God's).  To study the lives of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Job, Daniel, Esther, Ruth and Naomi, David, and countless others, and to come away not believing that God is our Father is hard for me to understand.  How can anyone not at least give time to read the stories of these lives and their stories of faith in the one true God before they decide that God isn't real?  Everything about the Old Testament points to the New Testament and the coming of Jesus.  It pains me that God's chosen people, the wonderful Jewish people, deny Jesus His rightful place, but I know that God will open eyes in due time. 
There are certainly Christians who give "Christians" a bad name, an unfair rap--but I daresay that in every religion there are those who choose to make the religion their own, creating this untrue picture of what that faith as a whole embraces.  Living as a Christian should mean living as someone who reflects the typically gentle nature of Jesus, though Jesus certainly displayed His share of righteous anger.  I hope that I live what I believe---that my love for Jesus comes through in my actions and the words I speak to people in conversation, not just in an "Oh, Jesus loves you!" kind of way.   I think we are called to walk out our faith through our daily comings and goings, and our interaction with people.  It shouldn't be a Bible-thumping kind of thing, but an almost unassuming way about us that makes us different, that causes others to question what it is that makes our lives so full of joy.
And that brings me to the point of the post...Why Am I A Christian?  It's the joy, it's the thing that happens in my spirit that I know is telling me I'm in tune with the Holy of Holy's.  It's an undeniable aching in my heart at the thought of a life without God, without the saving grace of my Jesus.  There is nothing like the feeling I get, even now as I type, just knowing to whom I belong.  I'm a Christian because in the depths of my being, I know He is part of me.  To deny Him and not live this faith would surely put out the very light within my soul.  I'm a Christian because I've chosen to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God. I'm a Christian because life without my Jesus would be so much less than what God intended.  I'm a Christian because I choose to be a Christian.
Now, the obvious question is "What about those who don't believe what you believe, Susan?"  Oh, don't you worry.  I am just not judgmental about it.  I ache when I know someone has chosen to deny God.  I feel immense sadness at the thought that I have in any way discouraged someone's faith in God.  But you know what?  I feel incredible anger at people who condemn those who do not believe.  Don't you know that it is in God's timing that those He has chosen will come to accept and love Him?  Don't you know that it could be the testimony of the most staunch unbeliever-turned-believer that bears the greatest witness?  Read The Case For Christ, and you will see how someone who operated not out of emotion was changed from a non-believer after many many years.  How dare you condemn those who are not where you are--don't even look down your nose at them.  Pray for them--that they will be open to the movement of the Holy Spirit when it begins.  Pray for yourself--that you are not the reason that person has turned away from God. 
I don't pretend to understand the reason people subscribe to other beliefs.  I don't think I am better than they, nor are they better than I.  I simply think that God has it all figured out.  It's way bigger than my little human brain, and that's where faith comes in---I have faith that God will do what He said He would do.  He will call His own unto Him, in perfect time. 
Unfortunately, not every church is great about setting the example for new believers.  In fact, I'll be really bold and say that I think most churches spend too much time and energy focusing on the human interests and too little time and energy focusing on the interests of the One they gather to worship.  Church can turn a person away from the faith faster than anything, and yet it is in the church that we are able to be fed and nurtured.  We have to stick it out, so that we might serve God even in that place. 
Most Gracious God, thank you that you have given me a heart for your people.  It is my heart's desire that those whose paths I cross will at least come away wanting to know more about you because of my example.  A life with you is joy, even in the darkest hours.  May those who read this be moved by the joy of the Lord that can be theirs.  It just doesn't get any better than this, not any better than you.  In Jesus' name, amen.

i'm staying up all nite.

or something like that.

til 8 or 9.

just because.

josh is drunk. and he is hitting on me. and it is very funny.

    Alright, I posted some pictures of me after the wedding... I wanted ones of everyone else, but they had changed before I got home... I really need to fix the red eye, but I lost the programs I used to use when the computer crashed... ah well... if anyone can help with the red eye it would be appreciated :-).

Wedding pics of my sisters...more about saturday later

Berfday celebratin numero uno was a ton of fun.

I love these people:
Grace Langeland, Mady Robertson, Rachel Carlton, Jane Woodard, Michael Cole, Courtney Caldwell, Stephen Turner, Rachel Hodorowicz, Brian King, and Jared . . . something

I also love Megan McDonald, Kristin Michaels, Abby Donnel, and Nemanja C...vlziadkfhof who couldn't make it this evening. (I'm not good at spelling in foreign languages.)

I got lots of cool stuff.  Including the best card ever.

velveeta and rotel + techno + little kid pictures + grilling out + text message sex + rocky horror = one hell of a night

Let's do the time warp again.

So let's see..today was fun. We started off going Adam Unsworth's masterclass, it was good, I took a page of notes. Yay for jazz horn! It is fun to watch his mouth when he plays.

After that, we went and looked at some more horns. I talked to Ion Balu managed to get a discount on a mute, hehe. Being the student of the guy he hung out w/ in high school in Romania is good. I baught another score, a shirt, and...I think that's it.

We went to a lecture on historical brass instruments (aka, evolution of the horn) and it was amazing! He had all these horns with him, like an alphorn, some horns from India, some hand horns, it was crazy!

 

We ate lunch on campus, beside the tree. I climbed in it...after Matt threw me up. lol.  Abby and I also ran around with our horns, fun times!  Fun times.

So the highlight of my day...the Gail Willaims masterclass! I took like...3 pages of notes in that one. It was very informative. She just, said things that are very obvious, but you wouldn't ever think about. And that is why she is Gail Willaims.

 

So yay for Tyler and Kyle's one month today! Matt and Ben's is on Monday and he was all like "Kyle, what should I do?!" but I failed to offer any help for them...and life as usual, whoa is me.

So yeah...we're leaving at like...10 tomorrow so I can be home sooner. My horn case came in whoot whoot!

Tootles.

        So I got my hair trimmed today instead of cutting it. Then I left it down and curled for the wedding. I took some pictures tonight. Just before I got inot somethign comfortable I was like - wait I don't ever get this dressed up and I like the way my hair looks right now.. - yea now I have pics... maybe I'll post some later... maybe I won't... Some of the pics I like.

Jeff's wedding was really beautiful and besides me almost setting the table on fire it went well (I saw the candle before anything caught so no one noticed until I said something.) I have some really great ideas for the piece they want me to do. Everyone showed up on time everyone did very well (chris was a great escort!! He walked slowly and calmly.) Jeff and Anady cried all the way through it. They looked very  good together. Everything seemed so chaotic before the wedding but it all came together. :-)

If anyone has interesting ideas to add to the collage type peice I am doing for Jeff and Anady let me know.

Y'all have a great night!

4,383 coming to Christ in a week = Priceless

i took that from abi coleman)

WOW!!!!!!  God showed up in a big way this week on our mission trip.  4,383 new souls added to the book of life.  Oh that just shows the awesome power of God.  I also recommited my life to Christ and was truly saved.  Then that same day(March 29th 2006) I was baptized in the Gulf of Mexico by Ben Butler and Salomon Trejo.  The Lord has truly blessed my life and has shown me my weaknessess and mistakes. Praise God for his awesome power.  I also found a verse this week that I want you guys to read and take to heart.

Philippians 2:1-11

Imitating Christ's Humility

 1If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. 3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

 5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
 6Who, being in very nature^[a] God,
      did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
 7but made himself nothing,
      taking the very nature^[b] of a servant,
      being made in human likeness.
 8And being found in appearance as a man,
      he humbled himself
      and became obedient to death—
         even death on a cross!
 9Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
      and gave him the name that is above every name,
 10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
      in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
 11and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
      to the glory of God the Father.

Amen We all have to humble ourselves and consider ourselves servants for the Lord because that is what God has called us to do.  We must do the work our Heavenly Father has set before us.

I love each and everyone of you guys so much. Pray continuously, never cease.  Love Jesus with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind.

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!

-Matthew-

went to the preds game with the youth group.  it wound up being me, milly, robin g & a bunch of middle schoolers lol.  not that i dont love my middle schoolers, but it was just funny.  the game was fun. the preds won.  but the trip to & from was so much fun.  we reminisced about the old days.  world changers & things such as.  i also go tht scoop on what happened at arlington, i wish i had gone.  new york will always be there, but i wont be able to go to arlington with those kids ever... *sigh*

its my birthday!!

*sigh* I don't know what to do or how to feel, because everything is so different this time around. I just want to sit in a dark room and think, but that's not been working so well.

I'm fed up with high school and its superficialness. It's so redundant and pointless. All conflicts are entirely shallow. We are all trying so hard to find ourselves that we lose view of what we are really looking for. It's like we get so obbsessed with searching that discovering ourselves is irrelevant. Or maybe I'm just a pessimist.

I'm ready for summer. Who's with me?

It's amazing how one fifteen minute phone call can erase all the "progress" that was made in the last two months. I thought this song (as it so ironically came up on random IPOD shuffle on the way home) was fitting to the occasion.

I guess I lost my sense of direction again
'Cause all I see are footprints
that look strangely like my own
I'm digging deeper the more I run
And the longer I'm out here
The more I'm alone
And now I stand in the place where I began
And all I see behind me is a circle in the sand
I'm dying slowly, take my hand
And lead me out of this circle                                                                  Solomon's Wish- "Circle in the Sand" 

I had a whole bunch more to post about this week, but until recently I didn't realize I could actually post, at least through Firefox.  Apparently, Firefox has decided not to load the text editor in my blog manager anymore, but 64-bit Internet Explorer will, which is weird, but whatever until Nathan can figure out what the deal is.

That said, now, it seems almost as if all that (if not everything now) can be neglected on this thing, or I don't remember it, or I realized it wasn't that important, as most things I say on here aren't.  I guess, the primary purpose for any journal I continue is a means of retrospection and ventilation (venting).  What have I done in these past fews days, and what will I do?

I even thought of impartially describing the social effects of weed in my little group or rambling on about music and its genres, but no, something someone else said grabbed my attention.  While this person has hardly seen me since before college, they nevertheless relented in saying one thing: that I've changed.  But I guess, I don't see it as a dramatic change, and so far, I've found most change isn't dramatic but gradual.  So, I guess my question is how have I changed?  And was it as dramatic as it appears to be?

this is the plane ride to mexico.....

wow so got in a pretty rough wreck last night. But thank the Lord Stephen and I are both OK. Im kinda bruised up cause I had my leg up in the seat when the air bag went off (stupid me) and something is funny about my ear. and he was kinda sore... but not major cuts or anything. We must have some awesome guardian angels :-) . So yeah, back to school now. EVeryone be thankful for each day, cause it could be gone in a second. <3

Yeah.  Just like the subject line says.

I didn't bring sunscreen.  Ohhhhhhh no, looking for that would have made me late, and we were probably going to be in the Hammerbeam structure, anyway, right?

Wrong.
Very, very wrong.

I have melanoma.

Ash is flaking off my shoulders.

Satan is trying to set me up a deal as a furnace in hell, so much heat is radiating from my general back and shoulder region.

But it feels so good to be back in rehearsals.  All is right in the world now.  *Happy*

Even if Krista DID get the "Father Abraham -- had many sons -- and many sons had Faaaaather Abraham" -song stuck in my head.  At least it got the Rent out.  Gah-gah-gah.

Off to ice my back.
Just give me chemo now and get it over with.
At least now I can say, "Oh yes, I'm so hot," and not sound delusional.  Mwahahahahahaha.

Wow.  Sunburn and Sun Drop.  Wow.

I don't need to be out in public in this condition.

Well, it's become official.

I've converted from a PC to Mac.

I'm sitting here typing on my new MacBook Pro (which is un-freakin-believeable) and I've been in an awesome mood pretty much since the time I opened the box.

That's all for now. 1 more month to go...

Should I go blonde? I'm thinking some blonde high lights. Then my hair would be 3 different shades. No one really tells me if I should or not- except for my dad.

Anyways, Chris and I picked out a tux today. I really hope it matches my dress. I'm sure it will all be good. Hmmm, I have a head ache.

Me and my mom cut all the monkey grass today. Now I have nothing to do. Spring break is almost over. :( I was enjoying my time off. Oh well, not too much longer till graduation. w00t w00t!!

Spring break has been really good. I've done alot and had alot of fun. Today though I worked around outside and got really sunburned.. Really good start today on the tan.  Anyways.. I'm off to go find something to do.  see ya

I haven't been doing many productive things all spring break. It's kinda a shame. :( All I've been doing was watching anime, doing dance performances, lounging around the house, and using the computer. I have to go to work today. We're catering a party in Pukalani. And after I get off from work, I gotta go to a party. *sigh* I wish I could go shopping or hang out with friends. Something like that..

MY SARAH MOORE IS COMING HOME TODAY!!!! and im SUPER DUPER EXCITED!!!!  granted, i have to work tonight and i dont get to see her until tomorrow....but she and brian left me the most HILARIOUS message last night that made me very happy!!!!!!

stacy and i are in charge of a human video for Fine Arts.  we had 10 people.  one dropped so we added another.  now we're down to 7.  it's fine, because i'm much better with small groups.  i'd probably do much better with a 4 person group anyway.  we have 4 weeks to practice before the competition.  if we get a 36 out of 40, we get to go to nationals.  i'm pretty excited.

our church has never done a very energetic human video before, so i don't have much experience with them.  i think this one's working out pretty well, though.  we already have the whole thing learned.  not many people miss practices, and we have a very good group.  everyone's really willing to try stuff and they're patient with me and stacy.

it's interresting to see how stacy and i work together.  mmm...  let's just say that it's something we should work on, but it's not bad.

it would be double cool to have a human video that we created and taught go to nationals...  fun...

Did you know that broccoli has almost twice the concentration of Vitamin C than an orange?

Who is up for a glass of broccoli juice?

So, it has been almost 3 months since Passion....and I am just now uploading my pictures!  I know, I know, I need to be more on top of things, but better late than never, huh?  Well as I was uploading them I was overcome with emotion looking at the glorious ones.  For those of you who went to Passion, I am sure you understand.  For those of you who missed it, let me explain.  During the week there was a thing called the "Go center" which was in the convention center.  It was a place to hang out, find out about ministry opportunities, and there was a place you could make worship art.  There were huge sheets on the wall and you could write whatever you wanted as worship to God.  Well, the last day of Passion the worship leaders are on stage singing "Glorious, Over Us..." when these rafters started to raise and there were sheets on each of the 4 sides of the stage. 

One side has G-L, the next O-R, the next I-O, and the last U-S.  There was bright light shining, and you could see the letters.  Then there were red lights on the sheets. 

Then all the sudden they turned black lights on and you could see the worship art that people had drawn during the week.  This was an unexpected surprise and it was overwhelming to see so many prayers to God.



















It was amazing. I had no clue what to expect when I went to Passion and I was blown away.  It seriously changed my life.  God used Passion to speak to my heart and I have not been the same since.  I felt His presence so strongly and there is nothing that could make me give that closeness back now.  My life is His and His alone.  I want only to glorify Him.  There are days (actually every day) that I fall short of this goal, but I know that God loves me and that He does not expect me to be perfect, just willing to be used by Him.  He is changing me every day and I am so greatful. 
So, I wanted to share these pictures with you and my prayer is that you will feel the closeness of God today.  There are more pictures in my photo box if you want to see them :)
Love you-
B
  

Hey!!!!! so this is my first entry on here. so if u kno me i have a hard time remembering to update these kinds of things so i might need reminding.

so anyways today was cool ashleigh and i went shopping today. we also gave sgt. sexton a surprise visit.hehehe that was fun.

well anyways i think thats it

later

So...Last night was fun, even thought we lost. After work and trilogy practice (come on sunday! if you need directions message me) I had some down time before my arena football game so I went to Bonhoffers to see some of the bands. I only got to see one before I went to my game. Just as we were allowed on the field to practice one of the refs told me that I couldn't wear anything with pockets on them (I prefer to play in pants becuase I slide a lot) so I had fiteen minutes to run back to my apartment and get my shorts, I made it back in thirteen. I had a soem good plays and some bad ones, but it wasn't meant to be. We get to try again next thursday at 11. After our defeat I went back to Bonhoffers to see another band, and I must admit that I thought that they were pretty good. Last night made me want to play for fun again. Play music that is my style. I miss it. I talked to Paul about playing and we might try to do so.

worked all day today after school. got another house closed, but I have a few more things to go back and do on it. These customers were great and easy to work with. The rain today messed a lot of my schedule up.

I can never do enough.

I had a post.  It went away.

To sum it up:

No job at Buckle.

My mom just got me Kingdom Hearts II.  *does the dance of nerdy glee*  I forsee little sleep for me tonight.

So today was fun! I woke up around 7:15 to call Tyler, he didn't pick up but saw that I called and got happy. I succeeded.  I then went back to sleep. So after Abby crawls in my bed for like 5 minutes from the house keeping lady waking her up, I decided to get dressed, pull out the silent brass mute and warm-up.

We went to the workshop and got all registered, that was fun. We found a practice room, where Matt and Abby played duets.

I was called to do the contest 2nd. I think I played well. I missed the first high Bb, but came back with the 2nd one and played it very strong. Abby and Matt said that it was better than the girl who went before me and played. I didn't make finals, but that's ok, I wasn't expecting to. Everyone who did was from Texas.

What did Abby and I do next? Exhibitions! Omg, it was fun. I played on Alexanders, Paxmans, E. Schmid, and the Alex Wagner Tuba. OMG! Wagner tubas are soooo fun! The Schmid was pro'lly my favorite custom horn that I tried. I baught something really cool for Tyler, and a CD with a Vienna hornist playing recital stuff. I'm going to have to go back and get the thing I got for Tyler for myself also, it's amazing. I'm going to get a new hand guard also. From getting the flipper put on, I had to cut up the one I have now so it slides around sometimes.

  

We went out for lunch, it was good. We went back to hear the opening recital. The Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse did an amazing job. (We ate dinner with them.) There was also a lady who played an Alphorn and it was cool! But yeah, after that Abby and I went to a class on natural horn. It was great, we're both wanting to buy one because they were so fun. Matt went to a lecture on horns used in film music. The principle horn player from the London Symphony was there (from when they recorded all the Star Wars and other music) and played excerpts and told stories and stuff.

We went to eat a this really nice place. I had authentic gumbo. The waitress was uber slow and we missed the first half of the concert. Speaking of the concert...holy freaking cow! Gail Williams and the other were amazing on Konzertstuke (sp?). Gail seemed that she was having a bad day, but played amazing. She has this presence that is like...don't mess with me.

 

So we're now at the hotel, being all lazy. More tomorrow!

Hey!  It's my first entry!  YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

i have a snapshot tester account! it looks to work great, but ive uploaded only one pic. more to come!

spring break is goin alright. but tonight im doing absolutly nothing. and it sucks cause its a friday night and everyone is out having fun. and im not.but hopefully ill be able to find something to do tomorrow night.

 So I just got backin from Atlanta. I was there for Thirsty. You know what I came home with?
That's right! They had Passion 06 cd's on sale early and for $9.99! It was a great trip all around, I felt like I had been there for a week when it was only two days. I was not ready to come home, but I am glad to be back in my bed and to get back to work!

Jeff's getting married tomorrow! That is so...weird. My grandparents got here yesterday and tomorrow my aunt and some of my cousins and some friends from Michigan are getting here, I'm told that one of my uncles and aunts came in today too (I didn't know they were coming and I didn't know they were here, but it's cool.). So today Rebecca and I decorated for the wedding. While she went to class this morning I was at the Lewis's...Mrs. Jeana and I went and got a cappacino and then we just kind of sat around and talked (well, I talked and she mopped her floor. lol). Then Rebecca and I came home and cleaned up in our room and bathroom and then went back into town for decorating. We got back home at around 7:30. Loooooong day. Tomorrow I get to sleep in and then we (Rebecca and I) have an appointment to get our hair cut and styled and stuff, and then we're going to Anady's place to help her get ready and then we're going to the wedding! Fun fun fun stuff. I'm still having a hard time comprehending the fact that my brother is getting married...yeah that's kinda weird.
Sooooo...I hope ya'll have had a wonderful spring break! I will see you guys...some of you tomorrow and others on Sunday. Love ya'll.

uh oh! tornado warnings!!  stay safe everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!

"praise you in this storm" casting crowns

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as You mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will life my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth

I LOVE SOCCER!  OH MY GOODNESS, ITS LIKE THE BESTEST SPORT EVER!!!

"The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished."

To clarify, only one power supply went bad. It had about 17,000 hours on it. The most it was off in the past two years, was for about 16 hours while I moved. Two weeks ago when the power supply bit the dust, it took the mobo and proc. I finally bought a new mb and proc today. I upgraded to Socket 939 which gives me the option for dual core *drool*. Due to cost concerns, I have opted for a single core Athlon 64 3000. I also spent the money for a better power supply this time.

I would love to do the mac thing. Give me that 64 bit desktop environment and I'd be a happy man. However, as I mentioned earlier, cost is a concern. Looking at cost/power, I can't justify spending the $$. Believe it or not, with the proper research, one can build an extremely stable 64bit desktop for a decent price.

Maybe I'll post the specs for my new*ish box later.

blog diddy blog blog.

Whats up?

thought i would just get on this blog thing here and say some random things. Im think that there are some people i know here that are pretty much the "shady" type or whatever they call it. I've been thinking recently about this whole life thing, and im come to the conclusion that.. lifes worth every second you waste. so dont waste it.

There is more things in this world that ive come to notice and like more than ever before. I also think that no matter who kicks me out of whatever band im in or whatever band i start that im going to still always be making music or making another band. You cant stop me you assholes. Im tired of being kicked out and stuff but the next tinme i think im gonna be the one who kicks them out. 

Im tired of going out with girls who sit there and never do anything and just want to make out all the time.. it gets boring girls yes indeed it does.

But other thanthat, blogs are pointless because you will probobly make fun of me for writing whatever i wrote or infact think that im a big loser cuz i wrote all of this.

2 words.

fuck you.

everyone writes blogs from big fat fucking nerds to skinny hot bitches. its true and you know it and you probobly get on myspacce or phuse box 10 times a day to do it too.

anywho im done being dumb on here.

see ya later chiekcnedssa

im iss it.

 

 

- It seems i can't get anything right, no matter what i do people always get hurt... theres no making people happy.


- And yes i have heard it a million times.... don't worry bout other
people, just make yourself happy... but it's like everyone's always
upset with me, at me, or about me.... AR!


I feel so lost.
I've been shaking.
You can't save me.

No on can..


-Ok this post sounds self centered/ egotistical but i don't mean it like that at all....

so today we are on the bus on the way home from school and we see flashing lights behind the bus soo we pulled over.  I had no idea what was going on because I was listening to my Ipod and didn't even really think about it.  I just thought someone was acting up so thats why we pulled over.  But then everyone is like omg omg... so I turn around and am freaking out.  What turned out to happen was that someone threw something out the window and it hit the car behind us.  No one went to jail and we donno who did it because the car didn't get hit but it was scary. lol 

yeah thats pretty much how i feel right now. the funny thing is...i cant really tell you why. wierd... i dont know im just stuck in a rut. but i dont quite know what it is. i mean ide fix it if i did. but.....yeah....and ive tried everything. the beastie boys cant even seem to lift these spirits of mine. darn it! lol. well i guess im off to try something else....

toodles!

this is about as interesting as my break has been...the only fun i had...hope everyone else is having a proper spring break

One more sip from a cauldron
One last taste of what life brings
I'm so sick of always feeling like this
I'm breaking off from all my chains
I can't stand this silence ringing
I can't wait for it all to leave
I'm just contemplating what to do
You don't understand all that you mean

I'm thinking up all excuses
While covering all my bruises
I'm trying to see you here with me
Though I feel all I have is me
And I guess I'll make the most of it
Yeah I guess I'll make the most of it
Now...

Fuck , nothing matters anymore what been said has been said

and im done with everyones bullshit

everyone has just been fucking bullshiting me the past month

and im tired of being lied to

&&

Spring break is almost over.

Lemonade is officially the best drink in the entire world, caffeine drinks suck.

Fixing to go to Wills.

Have a great day.

ppl please share :D

Hot!!

peace- Lemonade

I'm back now guys & gals from a semi-enjoyable spring break... I would have rather spent it with someone else this year but you "can't have your cake and eat it too"... There is a ton that I want to say but just do not have the time to do that right now... I will write about it later today though... So everyone of you guys & gals have an amazing day...

Good day today for the most part, though I think it is going to rain soon! But I love downpours, because they remind me of God's overflowing love for us. Uhm, late last night was lots of fun. My friends Denton, Sara and Leigh got a frisbee caught on a little roof of Elam and my friends Katy and Katie had to help get it off of there because they're on the third floor. lol, that was pretty hilarious. And then after they got it back off, we all went outside and tossed the frisbee around and Heather, Katy, and Katie all climbed trees (lol, they're my little monkeys). Uhm and Katy even climbed on top of the swings and did some dangerous stunts.  yaaay for days like yesterday....I'm thankful for easy weeks like this one was. Well, I hope you all have a great weekend. I guess I"ll be going home and catching up on all the work that I didn't do this week, lol.

So Jeff is getting married tomorrow... WOW! that seems so strange.

Don't they look cute together?

Before the wedding:

Today I am supposed to go and help them decorate the church after I get out of class.Then I have to get some things cleaned up at the house for company, staying in for the wedding. Bethy, Zay, Joshua and Jonathan did almost all of it so I don't have much to do.  Tomorrow before the wedding, I am going to go get my hair cut. I've been thinking about getting it shorter... what do you all think? Then again maybe I'll just get a trim for tomorrow. I don't know... is it getting too long? Anyway... The weddin is tomorrow at 6.. So close!... I'm supposed to sketch during the service trying to pust stuff together for a painting they want me to do... That's definitely something I've never done... I guess I should go to class now :-p

Yea,so I haven't updated in like 5 months. Crap's happened. Same old same old.basically. I get my braces off April 26th.School's over soon.I'm happy. Life's pretty good..

Probably could be a wee bit better.But I'm not complaining.

Am I being silly and foolish? I've got this great guy, who may live in another state right now, but is going to come back some time soon. I should be happy, really and truly happy, and most of the time I am, but there are times when I'm miserable. I miss him so much it's not funny. I sit down and cry, just to get it all out before he calls or I've got to be somewhere. I get all down and sad sometimes when I see all the couples on campus walking together, and I realize that he's in another state, and I can't be with him or even kiss him. I finally find a guy who makes me happy, who makes me laugh, who I love, and who loves me, but the catch is that for now he has to live in AZ and there is nothing that I can do about it. I try to understand, and most of the time I'm alright, but then there are times when it drives me crazy that I can't see him or touch him (I know sounds stupid) because I want so much to be able to. I tell him over and over that I love him, but a text message, email, or phone call is all we have and it seems so unfair. Am I being stupid and silly?

I love warm weather!!!  I'm like a lizard - I need a hot rock to lay on and SUNSHINE!  I was raised in the New Mexico desert.  Maybe that's why cold and gloom are so depressing to me.  I HATE to be cold!!!  Cloudy, gloomy weather depresses me if it hangs around for more than a day.  Yay for yard work and motorcycle rides and heat!!!

Alden and Ben came over tonite ! Hahaha I snuck Alden in and we played a lil' Baseball and I got beat but you play me any other time and I'll kill ya Alden. Ben well you might put up a fight. But Alden u suck and u know it ! Its only b/c you had Ben's help that you won and you still almost lost. Stupid error in the thrid that cost me 3 runs !!!!

hey guys... wat be up?... notta whole lot here .... yah so my spring break has blowed...LOL... oh well i gues... well... off to work... tell me how much u love me!!
~tRISH

Spring break's almost over and I'm sooo bummed. Why couldn't it have been longer??

This month is impossible for me to go out anywhere. All of my Saturdays and Sundays are booked because I have dance performances on those days. I just got home from a dance performance tonight like...3 hours ago. So I can't hang out with anyone. I apologize in advance.

There are also many variables that have come into conflict with me and Lili's running days. (1) The rainy weather, (2) My dance practices, (3) My orthopaedic appointment.

I can finally go back into tennis again. I am definitely gonna be rusty and REALLY out of shape. I am gonna hurt so bad on the first day again.

With all this being said, I shall retire. It's getting late as it is 11PM.

So, the past two days have been...eventful. We'll start with yesturday.

So, I woke up around 9:45 to go downstairs and see Sierra on the computer looking at pictures of her boyfriend, it was...funny. So we went upstairs and I showed her pictures of mine, hehe. The madre then took me to subway to get lunches for her, Abby, and myself. It was yum. Abby spent her lunch time playing duets with me. We also walked around the school to collect her school work and what not. 6th period we had horn sectional, her section is so much more fun than mine. (Sorry guys.)

(Kitty in my suitcase.)

Abby and I went to walmart, and of course, goofed around. We went to the pet store too, it was fun. Later, we went to eat at Abe's (Dberg 'fine dinning') and ate veal. It was good, but gave us gas.

Tyler and I have a small...well, medium sized dispute. We're learning how to compromise with each other, as well as learning our personalities. I guess being 45 minutes away from each other, and then around 5 when I move to college will really test us, but I think we can do it. The task now is the whole job schedual thing.

Abby looks funny in a facial mask.

Today we woke up at 9 something, pooped around till 11:45 and made our way to Memphis. We met Matt, talked to Dr. Holland for a little while, and goofed off. (Abby Wang.)

Matt took us to eat and it was yummy.  He took us this round-about way to his house, which is amazingly beautiful! I want to live there. We loaded in the car, and drove...since four...and didn't get to the hotel till...1 something.

We had a random time in the car. Talking, singing, just being dumb. I did two sudoku's in 20 minutes. Hehe.

We stopped at O'Charles and they waitress was funny! She came and sat with us, told us dirty jokes, and just had fun.

We got back in the car...goofed off some more, and now we're here. I'm going to get up at ::insert time:: and suprise Tyler. He has a big guard competition tomorrow, and the had an...akward practice. So, I'm going to try and help his day start out well.

I have the solo competition thing tomorrow, I hope it goes well. It sounded good today, so I'm not too worried. I don't expect to win, but I want to represent myself and Radu well. We'll see how it goes.

More to come tomorrow!

so basically..

life right now is amazing.
i wouldn't change a thing.

so, yeah, when one thing doesn't work out...
maybe its for a good reason.

and i definitely learned that...
and i'm glad it happened, even though, i was hurt...
i'm happy now, and its great.

anyways, today i went shopping..
then i went to greenhills with richard.
davis kidd, starbucks, ruby tuesday.
its so great hanging out with him, b/c there's never a dull moment.
and yeah.
so, thats all i feel like typing for now.

g'night.

What's up guys? Well I thought I would update this thing because it's been forever! Life has been crazy with school wrapping up, and summer on the way there is so much change! This whole becoming an adult thing is wild! Anyways something God has been showing me as of late is that true repentance and change from sin brings restoration. There have been so many times this year where I will struggle with something, and I will continue to pursue that same mistake. I continue until I realize it never gives me what Christ can give me. When I run back to Christ he's always there with a humongous smile on his face! What an awesome God! So the youth are on Spring Break? I'm praying for you guys! Let me know how your trips went! By the way, Amber and I have been dating 4 weeks tomorrow, and I've loved every second of it, even when she hurts me! You guys stay firm! Whether you are strong or weak, the Almighty will illuminate in you with your permission! How awesome!

Miguel
