I just woke up
Coffee in my cup
Sultry walk on a sunny day
Find out what the paper says
Message from the President
No more tax for residents
Go, USA
I'm so happy, feeling snappy
My life is rosy, I'm feeling comfy cozy.
Free, limo ride
Free food inside
Getting paid triple time
Gotta go to Anaheim
Grabbed my briefcase, left my house
Got a meeting with the mouse
Flying first class
I'm so happy
Feeling snappy
My life is rosy' I'm feeling comfy cozy
Keeps getting better
Good times forever
And this is one great day
Playing guitar in a band
Just got back from Disney Land
Driving my new four by four
Ed McMahon is at my door
Stocks I bought just went up
Canucks won the Stanley cup
Bill Gates put me in his will
Someone paid my visa bill
I'm so happy
Feeling snappy
My life is rosy
I'm feeling comfy cozy
I'm so happy
Feeling snappy
Will there be sorrow
When I wake up tomorrow
I'm So Happy - Hokus Pick
Since Sunday afternoon and as of now I've played that song 163 times almost in a row. There was a section when I was listening to Bradley Hathaway...but that didn't last very long.
I know I haven't posted in like a week and a half, but here we go now.
I've really been using MySpace more now, so if you wanna see what's going on in my life, you have a better chance of catching it there. I know, I'm sorry. I'll try and come back here and post every once and a while for my non-MySpace friends.
So, I'm really happy everyone. I've been like this for a week tomorrow. I can't stop and I don't want to stop either.
Yes, it's a girl. No it's not getting out of hand and no I'm not going to start dating her all of a sudden. If I date anyone else anytime soon it will be a year or so later. I don't plan to rush into something again just because I'm feeling all mushy inside.
And no, all you get to know is it's a girl. I'm not telling you her age, or how I know her, or what her name is. I will tell you this though: She doesn't look like a boy at all. She looks very much like a girl so in all reality, she probably throws like a girl too. Which is okay because so do I.
Anyway, maybe I'll post a little more about me (and not some random person you don't know) on Thursday or Friday. I won't be home much until then.
Sleep well everyone, I love you all.
"I'M SO HAPPY! FEELING SNAPPY! MY LIFE IS ROSY! I'M FEELING COMFY COZY!"

Random questions!
I want your random questions guys! Send me messages, comment my page, send me emails, give me a phone call, send me an IM. I want everyone to ask me random questions!
Things like "Why is the bobby pin called the bobby pin?" (the type of hairstyle it was first used on was hair that was in a bob...apparently)
Or things like "Do you have any grey popoun?" (No, I don't)
I'm going to stick them in one blog and answer them all.
I want ALL of your guys' questions.
Also, if you want me to answer them seriously, don't send them to me. I might end up answering a few seriously, but my main goal for this whole project is to make you guys laugh.

Funeral part 2 and weird dream...
I wanna do something crazy for my funeral because it's like your last party on earth. So here's what I'm going to do. Somehow, I'm going to fake my own death. I don't know how yet, I'll figure out the details later. So after I fake my own death, I'm going to be the one planning my funeral. I'm going to get someone to burn a bunch of paper and get the ashes, and put it in an urn in the middle of the area (wherever I end up having it, prolly some church). Then people can walk up to it and pay their last respects.
Now, I'm going to be at the funeral (alive). I'll be at the very back so nobody can see me, but I'm not going to try and disguise myself. That way people will be looking at me funny. "Is that Colin? No...that can't be him, Colin's dead. We're at his freaking funeral. Colin wouldn't do something like that, would he?" Oh, I would. Some of them might just assume I had a twin brother. "I didn't really know Colin that well, did he have a twin?" My best friends will be like "Yeah, I guess so."
Then I'll come to the front of the place and pay my last respects to Colin. I won't try and disguise myself at all. I'll wear casual clothes, jeans, tennis shoes. Maybe a shirt that says something like "I'm not dead yet." Then I'll talk in my Marvin voice. (If you don't know my Marvin voice, call me sometime and I'll do it for you) I'll start singing a song "Colin's dead, Colin's dead." People will be thinking "Man, what a sick man. He's dancing during his twin brother's funeral." Then I'll be the person who ends the funeral. (Hey, I planned the funeral, I should get something to say) I'll be like "Hey everyone, my name's Marvin. I posessed Colin when he was younger and I just wanted to pay my last respects to him." Everyone will be so confused. Then I'll end with my real voice.
"This was a test of the emergency funeral system. This was only a test. You may go back to your normal lives knowing that I'm not really dead."
Then I'll throw my "ashes" everywhere like confetti.
Okay, so on a different, less weird note, I had a really weird dream last night. So I worked (I DON'T WORK AT TARGET ANYMORE!) with this girl named Shawna. Awesome Christian girl, very sweet, very cute girl. I dreamt that we were hanging out together outside of work (although, she was wearing her work clothes because I haven't seen her in anything but that, except one time at the barber shop). It would have to be a dream, because we never have.
Let me preface this part with this one little disclaimer. I've never had feelings for Shawna other than a Christian bond like the one I have for Kari or Reeser.
During the dream, I remember holding Shawna's hand a few times. Much of the dream is fuzzy though. I also remember asking (although I don't ask him these kind of things anymore) if I could go hang out with some friends (I'm assuming Shawna was one of them, but I can't remember). I got an email from him saying "No, I want you to know how it feels." And then I read at the bottom it said "Oh, and your grounded." I said "What?" in my dream (and apparently in real life) then I woke up. (I think my "What?" woke me up)
My iPod was playing Headlights by The Classic Crime, mostly because I had it on repeat all night. I love that song though. Anyway, that's pretty much it. I'm going to a (real) memorial service today. Two of my kid's (brother and sister) dad passed away about a week ago. Very sad, so I'm going for moral support.

Funeral
So before I die I'm going to save like...$5,000...then when I die I'm going to instruct someone to send it to someone really famous...like John Stamos from Full House. Then all he has to do is show up to my funeral, cry and then leave. That's all, just show up, cry, leave.
People will be so confused. They will all be mourning my death and crying.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe he's dead. I can't believe he's gone...this sucks...this...", they see John Stamos crying, "...is that...is that John Stamos? Is he really crying? Did Colin know John Stamos? Were they brothers? Was Colin's last name Stamos?"
Then I'm going to have a closed casket at my funeral...so people will think I'm in it...but I won't be! In the middle of the service, strobe lights are just going to turn on. Then my body is just going to drop from strings hanging from the ceiling and then...techno music.
My mom's going to be crying like, "What the heck is going on here? What was Colin into?"
(NOTE: I didn't write this, it's genius though, I wish I did. This was actually a comedian named Nick Swardson. Very funny man.)

Church picnic...
So, the church picnic was amazing!
There was a softball game going on and I stole third! It was awesome, but they made me give it back.
I was actually watching the game. I told my friends "Once they switch sides, I'm going to run out there and steal third." So I did. I got about to the parking lot and decided to turn back. My friend goes "What are you doing?" and I said "Stealing third base." He almost fell to the ground laughing. It was good times.
Anyway, that's all I wanted to say.

God has a sense of humor.
So, Jayde (friend of mine from church and work) took me home from college group tonight.
We always have good conversations. This one was not only good, but funny.
We share a passion for music, especially Christian music. So we were talking about songs and she happened to mention that she didn't like Consume Me by DC Talk. I thought it was a good song. Then I told her I didn't like Shine by Newsboys. I explained it though.
I'm not going to put it into too many words, if you want the whole story, IM me or something and I'll gladly ruin the song for you. My friend, Benjy (THANK YOU BEN), ruined this song for me.
So, Dictionary.com doesn't have an entry on exactly what shine means in very informal slang. But let's just say the whole thing could be a double entrendre and I think of it everytime I hear it.
So as I was explaining all of this to Jayde, we were talking about it a little more extensively. We were just about halfway down my street (almost home free, literally) when a song comes on the radio.
It's Shine by the Newsboys.
All I have to say is God has a sense of humor.
Anyway, what else is new in my life? Well...lemme start.
I've been thinking about a few people, and I can't get them out of my mind. Not necessarily bad, but probably not good either.
I'm quitting Target (YAHOO!) because I'm starting a new job. I got hired at the church full-time (I'm allowed [better Reesy? :-P] to talk about it now, I wasn't earlier).
I've started Las Positas again. Now I have school every Tuesday/Thursday morning. W00T. It's just a simple computer class, so it shouldn't be too big a deal.
Next Thursday I'm starting Bible College. Systematic Theology and the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and I think I'm also starting leadership training the same day.
Plus I still think I'm a moron. Just like Paul was.
Anyway, I'm going to watch comedy until I fall asleep.
We always have good conversations. This one was not only good, but funny.
We share a passion for music, especially Christian music. So we were talking about songs and she happened to mention that she didn't like Consume Me by DC Talk. I thought it was a good song. Then I told her I didn't like Shine by Newsboys. I explained it though.

The new Pledge of Allegiance
Did you ever wonder what the Pledge of Allegiance would look at if you put it into Babelfish. Translated it into Spanish, then back to English and then translated it to Korean and back?
We should just start saying this.
"Me with the flag of United States of United States the republic which it stops, in the nation all for a loyalty, in freedom and process, it promised in the shoes lower part it will be able to divide c."

2 Corinthians 12:7-10
2 Corinthians 12:7-10.
To tell you the truth, I want to kill myself.
Don't worry, I won't and there's really no danger in me doing that at all. My feelings are fickle and there's no need to say anything about it or even bother trying to convince me to not. I'm not going to, end of story. I just wanted to get that out in the open.
Paul's "thorn in the flesh" isn't really talked about in scripture much other than this verse. It never says it's physical or spiritual or emotional, but I like to think it's the same thing I go through, although there's no proof and definitely no support for that in the Bible. It just helps me understand it more.
I've begged God. I've pleaded. I've prayed. I've fasted. The thorn won't leave. It's bringing me to the point of wanting to be dead. I've talked with a few people about it and they've all said similar things. "It's probably something you'll always deal with." Certainly will. "It might not feel like there's any hope, but there is." Indeed, it feels like no hope.
I'm just blogging because I can't sleep. If you want to comment, go ahead, it's unlikely anyone will be able to give advice. I was pretty vague on purpose.
So here's some actual news. I'm quitting Target. September (heh, I keep saying December to people) first is my last day. That's four more days of work. Tomorrow, this Friday, next Monday and then next Friday is my last day. Heh, that could be gramtically incorrect if you read that wrong. Just don't read it wrong.
Anything else exciting? Oh, I talked to Keri today. She and Meg can't come down (up? Which way is Monterey?) for Labor Day Weekend. :'( That makes me sad...but that just means I'll have to visit them when I get my license. That'll be fun.
I miss them both terribly. They were such good friends to me during Spirit West Coast. I was feeling kind of abandoned and alienated because a few of my other friends were supposed to go, but they ended up not being able to make it.
I'm just rambling on right now. My stomach kinda hurts and I really just want to sleep for 24 hours. Not a good idea to attempt, considering one must be fed and watered. That's just kinda how horrible I feel right now. I don't mean to sound dour or anything, I'm just venting.
That's all.
7 To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Dum di dum...
So, I'm trying out the new version of blogger that's currently in beta. So far, I've seen nothing new, but I'll take a look at the features and expand upon this post in a few minutes.
*EDIT* (about five minutes later) Okay, so what seems to be the biggest (and probably most useful...as well as the one that I can't figure out how to work) is the addition of labels to Blogger. This is what I liked most about Vox but I hated that it was a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor.
A label (or tags in Vox) is a one to two to three word phrase that is associated with your blog. For instance, on this one, I would probably put something like "Blogger" "Beta features" "Vox" and "WYSIWYG" (and I have a habit of putting weird ones in to so I might put something like "Charlie Chaplin" just because I like being different). When you click on these (I'm not sure how Blogger is doing this one so I could be wrong) it would either take you to other posts on the same blog that is similarly grouped or it might..might...take you to a search results page with other blogs similarly labeled. Both are very handy, especially if you're looking for blogs on particular subjects. (except with my blog I like to put something that has nothing to do with it...just to be weird...that's where the system breaks down. I admit to that particular mischeivousness)
Apparently there are some template changes and other editing changes, but this seems to be the only one that effects readers. If you're an actual blogger...check out the tour.
That's all.
*EDIT* again, five minutes later: Figured out exactly what labels would do when you clicked on them. To save you the time of doing it yourself, it just does a search on the blog. I like Vox's system better, it gives you a choice. But I can't do anything about it right now.

...I just can't handle this anymore.
If people are going to only listen to part of my advice, I'd prefer to stop giving advice. Don't come to me with problems and then stop listening when you heard what you wanted to.
Also it wouldn't hurt to talk to me a little longer than the advice you want. I know you're hurting, and I'm there hurting with you, but if you start talking to me, at least say "I have to go" when you have to go.
One last thing, if you're going to drag me into drama, hold your breath and just keep me out of it. I'm done with the drama.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh...I just can't handle this anymore.

A long short story.
Suddenly, Craig heard a noise. PFFFFFFT. Then the doors to the large bus opened. Apparently this is the bus that wolves use when they have two legs. Five really large wolves exited, walking kind of funny. They started speaking to him.
"Where is the closest hardware store?"
Craig didn't know what to say, so he just blinked. The blinking must have been some sort of an answer to the wolves because they quietly sighed and left his presence. Somewhat disoriented and a little confused, Craig walked away humming the Kit-Kat bar theme song.
As he was walking, Craig saw a flyer posted on a telephone poll.
"Write a story about anything and everything that pops into your mind and submit it via Blogger."
Craig thought: What a good idea! So he jumped into his chariot and whipped his horses to ride. On his way home, he saw a strange billboard "Don't take hold of the reigns, let the reigns take hold of you."
Craig was always unquestionigly obedient, so he tied the reigns of his chariot around his waist in response to the billboard.
He would've sold his soul for an ounce of attention. Luckily for him, he didn't need to. People in their fancy cars and bicycles watched him being led, apparently, by the reigns to his place of dwelling. Some stopped to watch, some ignored him like every other person they ignored in San Francisco. Including the guy who jumps out of bushes to scare people.
When Craig finally got home, he had to find some place to park his chariot. So he stuck it in the garage next to his dragon.
As he was sitting down at his computer, Craig's little sister, Debbie, called his name. An interesting manuever considering Debbie is mute.
"Hey you! Hey...hey!", his sister somehow said.
"Yes Debbie?".
"Do we have any spam left?"
How is she doing this?, Craig thought. "No, I fed the last can to my horses and the dragon...or maybe I fed the last horses to my dragon and my spam." He shrugged after that last sentence, forgetting what the question was.
Craig started typing random nonsense at first. "Jru@ Yjod odmay mpmdmdr@" Then he realized something. Hey! This isn't nonsense!, he thought. No wait, yes it is.
Not worrying about punctuation, capitialization, spelling or even grammar, he decided to write about his day.
"When I woke up this morning, I never thought I'd write about waking up this morning. I rode my chariot into work today. I was called into my boss' office for making a 'spectacle' though. Can they fire you for riding a chariot? Apparently, yes.
"As I was out job-hunting, I came across a few things that I didn't know about. For instance, did you know that the capital of Finland isn't just the 'F'? Apparently there's a whole other capital, in fact it's a city or something.
"Also, when you ride in a chariot and you're yelling 'Yah!' trying to get your horses to go faster, in some instances, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) gets mad.
"So today, I was just about to go home from the local arcade when a bus happened to stop right next to me and five, two-legged wolves came out and asked me where the nearest hardware store was. I couldn't think of anything to say, so I just stood there, blinking. They must've thought that that was an answer, because they left. Then, on my way to my chariot, I saw a flyer telling me to write a blog about anything and everything that pops into my mind. So...here it is!:

How is she doing this?, Craig thought. "No, I fed the last can to my horses and the dragon...or maybe I fed the last horses to my dragon and my spam." He shrugged after that last sentence, forgetting what the question was.
Craig started typing random nonsense at first. "Jru@ Yjod odmay mpmdmdr@" Then he realized something. Hey! This isn't nonsense!, he thought. No wait, yes it is.
Not worrying about punctuation, capitialization, spelling or even grammar, he decided to write about his day.
"When I woke up this morning, I never thought I'd write about waking up this morning. I rode my chariot into work today. I was called into my boss' office for making a 'spectacle' though. Can they fire you for riding a chariot? Apparently, yes.
"As I was out job-hunting, I came across a few things that I didn't know about. For instance, did you know that the capital of Finland isn't just the 'F'? Apparently there's a whole other capital, in fact it's a city or something.
"Also, when you ride in a chariot and you're yelling 'Yah!' trying to get your horses to go faster, in some instances, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) gets mad.
"So today, I was just about to go home from the local arcade when a bus happened to stop right next to me and five, two-legged wolves came out and asked me where the nearest hardware store was. I couldn't think of anything to say, so I just stood there, blinking. They must've thought that that was an answer, because they left. Then, on my way to my chariot, I saw a flyer telling me to write a blog about anything and everything that pops into my mind. So...here it is!:
The End."""""
"Where is the closest hardware store?"
Craig didn't know what to say, so he just blinked. The blinking must have been some sort of an answer to the wolves because they quietly sighed and left his presence. Somewhat disoriented and a little confused, Craig walked away humming the Kit-Kat bar theme song.
As he was walking, Craig saw a flyer posted on a telephone poll.
"Write a story about anything and everything that pops into your mind and submit it via Blogger."
Craig thought: What a good idea! So he jumped into his chariot and whipped his horses to ride. On his way home, he saw a strange billboard "Don't take hold of the reigns, let the reigns take hold of you."
Craig was always unquestionigly obedient, so he tied the reigns of his chariot around his waist in response to the billboard.
He would've sold his soul for an ounce of attention. Luckily for him, he didn't need to. People in their fancy cars and bicycles watched him being led, apparently, by the reigns to his place of dwelling. Some stopped to watch, some ignored him like every other person they ignored in San Francisco. Including the guy who jumps out of bushes to scare people.
When Craig finally got home, he had to find some place to park his chariot. So he stuck it in the garage next to his dragon.
As he was sitting down at his computer, Craig's little sister, Debbie, called his name. An interesting manuever considering Debbie is mute.
"Hey you! Hey...hey!", his sister somehow said.
"Yes Debbie?".
"Do we have any spam left?"
How is she doing this?, Craig thought. "No, I fed the last can to my horses and the dragon...or maybe I fed the last horses to my dragon and my spam." He shrugged after that last sentence, forgetting what the question was.

Suddenly, Craig heard a noise. PFFFFFFT. Then the doors to the large bus opened. Apparently this is the bus that wolves use when they have two legs. Five really large wolves exited, walking kind of funny. They started speaking to him.

Soundtrack life
I stoled this from Reeser...who in turn stoled this from someone else.
So here's how it works:
- Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc).
- Put it on shuffle (I'm assuming they mean shuffle with every song).
- Press play.
- For every question, put the song that's playing.
- When you go to a new question, skip to the next song.
- Ready? GO!
NO CHEATING!!!
Opening Credits: I Feel Lucky - Five Iron Frenzy
Waking Up: Reinventing Your Exit - Underoath
Falling In Love: Morning Waits - As I Lay Dying
Fight Scene: Strong Tower - Kutless. *laughs* Yeah right.
Breaking Up: Freestylin' - Manafest
Make-up: Climax and Resolution - Nevaeh (Maybe)
Secret Love: Epiphany - Cross Movement
Life's Okay: Illusions - As I Lay Dying (This song is creepy)
Mental Breakdown: Fallen - Haste the Day
Driving: Jesus Lord of Heaven - Kutless
Flashbacks: Cool Enough For You - Five Iron Frenzy
Happy Dance: All of the Words - Kutless (My iPod really likes Kutless today)
Regretting: Revolution - Dizmas
Long Night Alone: Somebody Help! (Interlude) - Cross Movement
Final Battle: Me Oh My - Five Iron Frenzy
Death Scene: Innocence - Jeremy Camp
Final Ending: Is Forever Enough - Hawk Nelson
End Credits: I Am That I Am - Cross Movement
(which is now the song I'm stopped on)
I have so many songs that I couldn't listen to all of them before my iPod's battery died. Anyway. Maybe in a few months I'll do that again. That was kinda fun. I wish it was a bit more accurate. I think maybe two or three work, but a few of them were worship songs...
Anyway, I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to play Warcraft until I wake up. Adios.

Carelessness - Fair
Carelessness something I've read about
in a magazine in a journal of
Medicine for fever and rapid heart
for the younger set giving life a start
All the pain in dissent
all the freedom to climb
A thousand wishes Ive missed
for hanging onto this
When a moment brings hope for everything
every time I walk away from this
Will the one who came to throw it all away
ever get to see the end of this?
Carelessness is something I recognize
when you're fast asleep and I'm in the right
Taking in everything you ignore
my abrasiveness and your angel-core
More minutes of life put away set aside
ever following things that I won't find
When a moment brings hope for everything
every time I walk away from this
Will the one who came to throw it all away
ever get to see the end of this?
Won't you climb high
and shower some correction on me
don't dare disguise
your colorful predictions are clear
When a moment brings hope for everything
every time I walk away from this
Will the one who came to throw it all away
ever get to see the end of this?
Carelessness - Fair
A moment brings hope. God, will you ever get to see the end of this? I frustrate both you and me by doing what I hate. And when I'm not doing it, I see that it's wrong. But just when I start, that's when the blindfold gets pulled. I need to get rid of that blindfold, permanently.

The Title Track - The Fold
It doesn’t work that way, you’ve seen enough to know better
Better recalculate it, this time use your heart and not your mind
Maybe you just don’t get it, and you’ve worked too hard to throw it all away
Maybe you’re just not ready baby, to start over again
Set set set, now you’re ready to go
You couldn’t make it better if it never belonged
You can take your time, figure it out
This is a call to all the pain (this too shall pass)
We’ll find a brand new way, you’ve seen enough to do better
When you recalculate it, darling use your heart
Maybe you just don’t get it, and you’ve worked too hard to throw it all away
Maybe you’re just not willing baby, to start over again
Set set set, now you’re ready to go
You couldn’t make it better if it never belonged
You can take your time, figure it out
This is a call to all the pain (this too shall pass)
It’s funny how we starve for our salvation, maybe it was right in front of you
Searching in the strangest of all places, maybe it was there beside you
Know that this will pass
All dressed up and you’re ready to go
You couldn’t make it better if it never belonged
You can take your time, figure it out
I can’t take away the pain but it will pass, this too shall pass
Set set set, now you’re ready to go
You couldn’t make it better if it never belonged
You can take your time, figure it out
This is a call to all the pain (this too shall pass)
Set set set, now you’re ready to go (woah)
You can take your time, make it last
This is a call to all the pain (this too shall pass)
The Title Track - The Fold
I'm really digging this song right now. I'm actually really loving this band too. I thought it was funny that they called this "The Title Track" because the name of the CD is called "This Too Shall Pass". Often, the title track refers to whatever the name of the CD is. For instance: the title track of Project 86's "...And The Rest Will Follow" would be "...And The Rest Will Follow". The Fold decided to be clever and name the song that would really be the title track "The Title Track". Confusing?
Good. I like it that way.

Good. I like it that way.
New Blog.
My dad found this new blogging place called Vox. I'm trying it out for a while because it looks really cool. It might be a better spot for Holy Harmony.

Alton means "exalted"
The last words to cross his mind were 'I will be with my Father before long.'
Why did it happen? He could have lived for much longer. Alton was not even an adult yet. He was almost 17 years old and he lived not to far from his church. He had been saved nearly ten years ago that eventful day. Alton went to school, he was active in clubs there, and he was active in his youth group. He played on the worship team. He even sang. Yet nobody at school noticed the week he was gone. His pastor knew what had happened, but didn't know how to break it to the congregation.
Eleven days before his 17th birthday, Alton was walking home from school. He didn't know why, but he felt compelled to take a back road. The road wound around this beautiful lake. He always wondered if it was man-made or authentic. Without a second thought he sat down to enjoy the spectacular view. He said a little prayer of thanksgiving. Nothing special, just a prayer. He was glad to be alive, glad to be one of God's chosen.
Someone noticed him praying. The man was about 25 or so and looked nothing like anybody Alton knew. He walked up to Alton and started calmly talking to him. After a while, Alton felt different. Alton felt the Holy Spirit urging him to tell this man about Christ.
"Do you go to church?" Alton asked.
"Yeah, I've been once or twice, not to fond of it though," the stranger said.
"Well why is that?" Alton's responded.
"God let my father die years ago," the stranger started crying.
"No he didn't, God doesn't do things for no reason. Maybe the death was meant to wake you up. Realize that death is real and that your whole life could end in a minute."
Just then, the stranger took out a gun and shot Alton twice.
'Father, what went wrong?' Alton prayed, 'I thought I did what I was told to do. I will be with my Father before long.'
As Alton reached the Gates of Heaven, many people greeted him. His old third grade teacher was there. She had died of old age three years after Alton left her class. He never even knew that she knew Christ. His mother was there. After drowning in a river three years ago there wasn't a day that went by that he didn't think about her. His friend's aborted baby, Abishag, named by Alton himself. Even though Alton begged of Neese not to abort, she said it was her choice. His best friend gave him a great big hug. Shane was killed in a car accident involving a drunk driver. Alton was almost at the point of suicide until he remembered God's promise. "I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:5). He prayed that night until he could stay awake no more. There was Alton's twin sister that died at childbirth. Alton's great grandfather greeted him. He was on an airplane September 11th, 2001. There were three people he was very close to from his church who all died of heart attacks.
Later, Alton searched for Christ, the risen one. He could not find him anywhere. He searched high and low, far and wide. Then he heard the calling of God.
"Alton, please, approach my throne."
Alton did as he was told. He was ecstatic, finally being able to meet his Provider. Elohim, The Alpha and Omega. Names and God’s names in specific fascinated Alton. He had many questions, but only two in particular were on his mind.
"Why was my day today Lord?" he asked, "Did I not do what you wanted me to?"
"You Alton, are most faithful. That man you witnessed to today may have killed your body, but he united you with me today. The man, named Addi, was caught a month ago. Addi was tried and found guilty. He will never kill again. You sowed a seed in his heart though. I have softened his heart and he will now be a witness unto the many imprisoned today. He has accepted me and has begged for forgiveness, which I have granted. He has been born again. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17) Addi will witness to the mass of people who have committed crimes against their government and ultimately me. Because of your faithfulness, you have been rewarded."
"I feel that I have not done enough for you Lord, there are still so many lost who cannot be found by me."
"Every one of those people who you met was somehow touched by your life. All of them saw your faithfulness to me, and knew that they would once again see you with them, here in paradise.
"Your fifth grade teacher saw how nicely you played with the other kids. How you never left anybody out. You were always telling her about what you did at church on Sunday and what you learned about me. Because of that, she went to church for the first time. She was saved after her fifth Sunday and she joined their prayer team. Because of you, she blessed hundreds of lives in the three years she had left. Those hundred, in return, blessed many.
"Your mother started going to church because of you. She wanted you to be taught well and to live right. She only went because of you though. It wasn't until she saw you get saved and she heard you pray for her that she decided to take the next step. She gave her life to me and because of that, she saved ten people from drowning. Even though those people have not gone on to do great things, one of them will go on to do great and wonderful things in the field of Christian Science, all for me. Another will eventually become the president that outlaws abortion.
"Which brings me to the baby, Abishag. You affected a life that never was. The mother, Neese, heard of your death and came to the funeral. She was thinking about you the whole time, and I softened her heart. She became a Christian days later and now works at a pregnancy clinic for girls just like herself; confused, alone and set apart. She will go on to do great things and bring many to me.
"Shane met you at your first day of school. You had been a Christian for 6 years, he had just moved here. You would not let him say no to coming to church with you. The night he came, he was saved. When he died, you found me again. Your unwavering faith has saved you many times.
"Your twin sister saw you from above. She never left your side, no matter where you were. When your mother died, she was there. When you were promoted from middle school, she was there. When you heard about Shane, she was there. Even the day you were to die, she was there. Every waking moment of your life, she was there to see you through another day.
"Your great grandfather was a celebrated veteran in World War II. After the war, he came home and started a family. When you came along, he was quite aged, but still going strong. He saw your faith magnified after your salvation, and wanted to know what it was about. He was saved and afterwards became very well known in his church for his praise and worship leadership.
"Those three that died of heart attacks all knew you and loved you so much. You touched their lives by talking to them when nobody else would. By sitting next to them during church. By giving them a piece of your heart. You were a people person, so much like my son.
"There are many others you will meet during your eternity in Heaven. It's a good thing forever is forever.
You had been chosen before birth Alton, you followed me and you have been rewarded. You were allowed to see those who you touched, and when Addi dies, you will be the first to see him. He will remember you just as you remember him. He will rejoice, for you are the one who started him on the correct path. Then he will get to meet those he touched in his life, and I assure you, they will be many."
Alton was so amazed; he didn't know what to say. All he could do is kneel before the Lord and praise him for all of his life. Everything he said was a blessing unto God. All of this happened because he listened to God.
I wrote this, wow, two or three years ago and I wanted anybody who hasn't read it to read it. Anyway, that's all. Have a good day.

Cassie - Flyleaf
I will say yes...
The question asked in order to save her life or take it
The answer no avoided death, the answer yes would make it
"Do you believe in God?" written on the bullet
Say yes to pull the trigger
"Do you believe in God?" written on the bullet
And Cassie pulls the trigger
All heads are bowed in silence to remember her last sentence
She answered him, knowing what would happen
Her last words still hanging in the air
How many will die? I will die. I will say yes. Yes.

More details for Spirit West Coast.
9. New buttons!
Right in the middle is a Charlotte's Web button. Then from the 12:00 position going clockwise (to 1 then 2 then 3...etc) it's Thousand Foot Krutch, Sanctus Real, Revolve Tour then from 3 to 9 it's Hawk Nelson, then Manafest and Bob Smiley!
7. Getting a "Not of this world girl" bracelet.
I have no picture of this, but it's a funny story. My friend Keri (see number 1 of the last post) bought me a bracelet that says "Beloved" and when you turn it over a little bit more it says "NOTW Girl" NOTW stands for "Not of this World" and girl stands for...well...not male. So I was sitting at our spot at the main stage...and I'm looking at it and she's just sitting there too. I ask "Keri? Did you realize that this says 'Girl'?" She says, "Yeah, I know. I didn't see that until after I bought it." I thought it might be some kind of covert way of telling me something. Like "You're a girly man Colin." Which I am. I know of no female who could not beat me up.
6. Meeting "The Fish".
This fish is fun. So this booth that I'm at was a radio station called "The Fish" and they had a fish (sitting next to a palm tree...go figure) that I really liked. So while there was a semi-big crowd I went over to the fish and picked him up and started petting him. Quite a few heads turned and all of the people I was with were laughing at me. Wow, that sentence didn't seem gramatically correct. Out of all the people that were there, only the people I was with laughed. The others kinda just stared at me like I was a complete idiot...I sure had them fooled. Anyway, everytime I passed by that booth and I could see that fish I went over and petted him. I really liked him! He was such a nice fish. I wish I could find a fish that was as sweet as Pete the swishy fishy. My friends finally resorted to holding me back before I could even get to the booth. *sigh* I guess they had places to go and no time for Pete. Plus I get lost really easily. Keri made a leash for her boyfriend...and when he got tired of it and took it off, I put it on me so I wouldn't get lost anymore.
Wow, I think that's pretty much if for this blog. Sorry for the long rambles and the huge uninterrupted paragraphs. I should probably put some line breaks in there somewhere. Nah...
*EDIT* So, I forgot to tell you guys. I got six new CDs. T-Bones two CDs (He may have more...so his two newest ones), Project 86's "...and the rest will follow", Showbread's "Age of Reptiles", FM Static's "Critically Ashamed" and Skilet's "Collide".
The end.

I hate to disappoint but it's the way things went...
Okay, so here's what happened yesterday.
I was supposed to go take my driver's test, and I think I would have done great, except I never even got a chance to be behind the wheel.
A) Today is my last day that my learner's permit is valid. After today, I no longer have a permit.
B) Yesterday was the only day I could take it because I'm going to Spirit West Coast this week.
C) The only way I could have gotten my full license is by driving on the freeway, which I haven't yet. So instead I opted to take a test that would only give me a provisionary license. (I.E. I would only be able to drive on the regular roads, no freeway)
D) The first time I took my permit test and passed I failed the eye exam, so I had to get a special examination from my opthamologist and his recommendation. I did and whatnot, but the papers are no longer valid 6 months after I get it done. So I should've taken my driver's test (although I wasn't ready) months sooner.
So many things were working against me yesterday, that it obviously wasn't my time to get my license yet. It still doesn't matter, it still hurt. I didn't even get a chance to prove that I could drive. I was shot down immediately.
Frustrating it is. -_-
Anyway, I'm not going to let that change my week. I'm going to be gone until Sunday morning (early early) and I shall enjoy myself, no matter what anybody has tried to do.

47. Would you quit for someone?: Quit what? Quit smoking? It's not something I really have any control over. When it gets too hot, it just happens.
46. Do you drink?: Sure do. Water, Soda, Juice...occasionally I get really wild and drink milk.
45. Do you own a toaster?: Nope, and my mommy doesn't either. Neither does my daddy. We have a toaster oven instead.
44. Have you ever stolen something: I'm sure I have but I don't remember.
43. What was it: See above.
42. Do long distance relationships work: For some people, I'm sure. It wouldn't work for me though, I'd have to see her regularly.
41. How do you like your eggs in the morning: No, I don't like my eggs in the morning. I'd rather have my eggs...umm...never.
40. Can you swim: Nope. I've been told I'm missing out. Swimming is just a way to not die, not a form of recreation.
39. Favorite flavor of ice cream: Strawberry.
38. Ever attend a theme party: Once, it was a murder mystery. It was kind of fun, but I had to play a girl because there weren't enough people. Of course, I volunteered.
37. What time did you wake up this morning: 7ish.
36. Name of your first pet: Chiquita.
35. Are you smiling: Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No.
34. Are you blushing: I dunno, I have no mirror. I could be, but I don't feel it.
===============================
:::::I Do (YES)/Do Not (NO) Believe In:::::
===============================
33. Kissing on the first date: No.
32. Boogeyman: No.
31. Moon landing: Yes.
30. Mental telepathy: No. But it'd be cool.
29. The Force: No.
28. Easter Bunny: Are you trying to imply that he's not real?
27. Santa: Again...are you trying to imply that he's not real?
26. Love at First Sight: No.
25. Luck: No.
24. Fate: Tricky question. I would say sort of. More like I believe God has created us to do something and that is partially our fate. Yet we still have free-will so I'm gonna have to say no.
23. God: Yes.
22. Aliens: No.
21. Heaven: Yes.
20. Hell: Yes.
19. Ghosts: Nah.
18. Horoscopes: I believe that horoscopes exist, I don't believe they are true/work.

:::::Last time?::::::::

16. Seen someone you haven't seen in awhile: Today actually.
15. Last concert you went to: Superchick. But I'm going to Spirit West Coast on Wednesday so soon that won't be true.
14. Last movie rental: I don't remember.
13. You spent money: Today.
12. Last food you ate: French Fries.
11. You worked out: Umm...Oh! Yesterday! I picked up a weight and then put it down...that counts right?
10. Helped an elderly person: Define "elderly". I helped my mom today. (If that offends you, picture those two phrases seperately)
9. Wedding you attended: A few months ago...my brother's.
8. Sports game you went to: Years and years ago. Back in High School when I was in band. So Sophomore year. Three or Four years ago.
7. Hugged someone: Yesterday.
6. Missed someone: Now.
5. Txt msg: Earlier today.
4. Missed Call: Earlier today.
3. Last dialed Call: Dialed dialed? Heidi. Last call I selected from a list of contacts? Elizabeth.
2. Time you laughed at something stupid: Too many times to count.
1. Time you checked your email: Today. That's how I found this!
I stoled this from Reeser. I will finally be able to remember to check her Xanga...I have her XML updates through my email. It's cool, if you want that from me go to the right of the screen and stick your email in that little box. Then hit ENTER! And you will automatically get emails. It's pretty sweet.
Anyway, that's all, I'm really tired so I'm going to try and not sleep. If I do I'll be up all night. I think I'ma gonna watch Cellular. I love that movie.

Business, heat and how the west was won.
Well recently, I've felt a lot busier than normal, just because I've been working (at Target) everyday this week 'cept Monday and Sunday. I'm going to go to bed soon, but I fear I won't be able to sleep for a while because it's so hot.
Anyway, I'll give you a breakdown of my week so far. Because I haven't done one of those since this was called "Colin's Life".
Sunday: I got up in the morning and was kind of slow, as always. I went to first service and hung around afterwards because Heidi was ushering (unbeknowest to me...sorta confused me because I didn't expect to see her at the door). Sunday night I didn't sleep.
Monday: I went to bed at 4:30 Monday morning because I couldn't sleep for some reason. I just stayed around the house and was lazy, which is okay because I don't normally have a day where I do nothing. I watched Kyle XY at 8 (I love that show...although I could do without some of the content).
Tuesday: Went to work from 8:30 to 1 and then I came home and tried to stay awake until bedtime. Definitely a challenge, but I've started falling asleep in the middle of the day and not being tired when it's bedtime. Can't remember anything else I did that night. Oh! I went to the church at 2 and worked until 5...and THEN I came home and tried not to sleep.
Wednesday: Same work schedule. Target: 8:30 to 1 and the church 2 to 5. Try not to sleep when I get home. Heidi came over for a few hours and we hung out with my family in the living room. She left and a little while later I went to bed.
Thursday: I finally got Holy Harmony running with the first review! Oh yeah, and I went to work from 8:30 to 5. Did a bunch of reading on The Fellowship Hall (link to the right) and got rather angry at someone who was doing some character assassination on a really good friend of mine.
It frustrates me to know there are people out there who will read one entry of a person's blog and completely map out their character based on that one (rather short) blog entry. Anyway, continuing on with my week...
Friday: I went to...HA! Gotcha! Friday hasn't happened yet silly. But I can tell you already. I woke up about 9 in the morning, got ready to go to work. Got to work at around 9:30. Got off work at 6 and maybe did something with Heidi, maybe not.
Anyway, I'm done. I'm tired. I'll talk to y'all later. Have a great night.
Oh, the west was won with a lot of murder of Native Americans as best as I can understand it. If one wants to win a compass direction, I would not start off by killing everybody facing that way.

Holy Harmony
Hey guys. I'm working on a new blog site in my free time. It's called Holy Harmony. I'm going to write review for Christian albums to raise awareness in the Christian youth ministry.
It's called Holy Harmony. I'm hoping to get at least one album review up by the end of this week, but I'm not sure how much time I'll have this particular week.
Check it out if you get a chance, I'd appreciate any constructive criticism. Thanks!

So, I've only been awake for like four hours...
So, sleep is over-rated. I slept a good 8 hours...but it was from 4 AM-12 PM.
Anyway, I have nothing left to say. Adios.
Anyway, I have nothing left to say. Adios.
Late night musings...
Hey everyone...
It's about 2:30 in the morning and I am not tired. There seems to be a pattern on Sunday nights/Monday mornings.
Anyway, I'm working on revamping this site in a major way, but I need to find a place to host my images. I don't think I'm going to find a place, so I'm just going to keep it simple...plus I like this color.
Anyway, change your bookmark (if you use it) back to http://twicedouble.blogspot.com. I'm going to keep it at that from now on and maybe randomly change the name and feel. I sorta like this name right now though, so I'll be keeping it like this for a while.
Have you ever wondered how many words you say every day? No? Me neither...

How can someone say this isn't of God?
There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said
I'm just repeating myself, repeating someone else
Equally incapable of uttering a single new thought
Yet You are ever worthy of adoration
So how can I for a moment cease to lift my heart in praise
Your name is glory
My song is victory
and I will keep on singing
There is no opposition, nothing can stand in Your way
Make my life Your own
I'm sure some of you are pretty close-minded when it comes to certain types of music. I know I definitely am, I won't listen to country or jazz, but I would never say God couldn't work through it. I've heard many (hopefully nobody that reads this blog) people say that screamo or heavy metal is just angry music. Read that and tell me their angry. Maybe they scream it, but who cares?
Becoming the Archetype just got a new fan. This song was called "The Epigone". If you aren't completely closed to the idea of hardcore/screamo/metal music, have a listen. If you are, at least tell me you don't buy into the idea that all of it is bad.

Someone Else's Arms - Mae
Two days and I've not slept a wink with these thoughts that I've been thinking. This is
the mark I aim to miss (again). You toss and turn, I lie awake. Who knows what I've been
drinking. Another cheap, meaningless kiss (to give).
From the beginning, dulled down and lost with all it's charm. I just want to wake up,
wake up in someone's... I just want to wake up. I just want to wake
up. I just want to wake up.
Six days and I can see the same brown eyes in this reflection. Is this man you say I'll
be (become)? You toss and turn, I lie awake. Into the sand we're sinking. Holding us back
from breathing free (I'm done).
From the beginning, dulled down and lost with all it's charm. I just want to wake up,
wake up in someone's... I just want to wake up. I just want to wake up. I just want to wake
up. I just want to wake up. i just want to wake up. I just want to wake up. I just want to
wake up. I just want to wake up.
More than words, you keep to yourself. Like a curse that fares thee well. One man
came. One truth to tell. All this blame. Hammers your way to hell.
I've got a feeling It's not the safest place to start. The heavy breathing, it seems we're
better off breaking hearts. From the beginning, dulled down and lost with all it's charm. I
just want to wake up, wake up in someone's... I just want to wake up (I just want to wake
up). I justwant to wake up. I justwant to wake up (I just want to wake up). I justw ant to
wake up. I just want to wake up (I just want to wake up). I just want to wake up. I just want
to wake up (I just want to wake up). I just want to wake up.
I just want to wake up in someone else's arms
No particular reason for this, I just like this song.

Can't sleep, don't know why.
It's not even that I fall asleep and keep waking up. It's that I can't even fall asleep to begin with. I'm not feeling tired. Yet I barely got sleep yesterday.
Oooh! I forgot I was writing this! Wow.
Okay, I'm going to try and sleep now. Who's starting the pool on what hour I fall asleep at?

Everything I do is useless
Left To My Ambitions I Find Myself Feeling
Short Of Breath And Losing Hope Again
When Will I Be Free
When Will I Feel Alive
I Am At My End And I Cant Breath
I Can't Breathe Everything I Do Is Useless
I Can't Do This On My Own Im Fading
Too Many Times I've Left In Silence
This Time I Won't Give Up So Soon
Crying Out For Some Relief
I Keep Breaking My Own Heart
Giving Up On My Resolve
I Keep Trying But I Keep Failing
This All Seems So Familiar
I Think We've Been Here Once Before
Saying Sorry Once Again
Saying Sorry Once Again
I Keep Breaking My Own Heart - Haste the Day
Short Of Breath And Losing Hope Again
When Will I Be Free
When Will I Feel Alive
I Am At My End And I Cant Breath
I Can't Breathe Everything I Do Is Useless
I Can't Do This On My Own Im Fading
Too Many Times I've Left In Silence
This Time I Won't Give Up So Soon
Crying Out For Some Relief
I Keep Breaking My Own Heart
Giving Up On My Resolve
I Keep Trying But I Keep Failing
This All Seems So Familiar

Just got back from the premier of Superman.
I literally walked through the door five minutes ago.
Okay, I didn't literally walk through the door, but it was literally five minutes ago.
Okay, maybe six.
Anyway, great movie. I didn't like some parts, but that's just my natural perfectionist attitude. Didn't like Lois. Not necessarily Kate Bosworth as Lois, but Lois' personality was not quite right.
On the whole though, there were very few errors. It was still a good movie. Funny at parts. Sad at parts. Intense at parts. Suspenseful even. I'm going to see it again eventually. I have a free movie pass to see it so I might as well.
Anyway, that's all. Go see it when you get the chance.
Oh, it will help if you have seen the first four as this one isn't really a stand alone movie. It isn't necessary, but you might not have as many questions.
Adios muchachos. (That's French...or German...or something like that)
P.S. Yes, I know. It's Spanish. Don't bother telling me.

Here With Me - Eleventyseven
There's a whisper in the air You breathe
Underneath the sky tonight
There's a piece of You inside my heart
That runs too deep to describe
And You're so much more than wonderful
So much more than I can see
And I could spend forever hoping You'd be here with me
Here with me
When the world leaves me so winded
And with nothing left to say
There's an angel in your voice
That tells me everything's okay
And You're so much more than wonderful
So much more than I can see
And I could spend forever hoping You'd be here with me

Merroropero. You heard me. Merroropero.
I'm feeling sick.
If I feel this way tomorrow, I'm going to have to skip work...or at least 2:42.

A few final thoughts...and goals.
Remember these few things and your life will go smoothly.
It is impossible to eat an unknown jelly bean in the dark. No one wants to risk such an important decision.
When I took off my socks tonight, it smelled like peanuts. There are peanuts in my room, so it might have had nothing to do with anything.
I only have two minor goals. (I have more major goals...but these are the minor ones)
I want to watch an entire episode of a sitcom in fast forward. Specifically on a DVD player that doesn't mute when you set it to double speed.
I also want to stick every flavor (aside from popcorn and the caffeine filled ones (yeah, some jelly beans actually have caffeine in them...) of Jelly Belly in my mouth at once. Just to see what it tastes like. (yes, even after the sours incident...I think this time it will be different, I've already done similar things with jelly beans)
Alright, that's it. I'll talk to you all later. Or I'll blog to you all later.
Whatever.

That was quite possibly the stupidest thing I've ever done.
So have you ever had those Ice Breakers Sours? The ones that come in the round tin.
Well I just stuck five in my mouth at once. I thought, "With flavors like Tangerine Passion and Lime Coconut, how could this possibly be a bad idea?"
I think I'm going to throw up.
Just thought I'd tell you that.

Freakin' hilarious.
If it doesn't quite load (which it wouldn't surprise me if it didn't) then you can go to this website and check it out there. It's much funnier if you watch it here though, just because you don't have the benefit of the title. So if it does load here, watch it here and not there.
DISCLAIMER: I do not claim to make sense what-so-ever. Do not hold me responsible for making sense. If you don't understand, welcome to my world.

Trying to sleep...but failing.
About an hour ago I could barely keep my eyes open, now I can barely keep them closed.
I think I'll just watch Dinosaurs.
"A meteor three times the size of earth is heading towards us in a collision course that will result in the extinction of all life on this planet...This just in. No it's not."

Believe it or not I was originally going to try to make this an away message.
-_- Stupid season finales. If you watch Smallville or The Office and haven't seen the last episode of either. Just leave while you still have your sanity.
Oh! And I NEVER SAW THE END OF ALF! Although I believe they never had one because it was canceled right after that season was over. Plus I have yet to see the second disc of the second season of Gilmore girls.
I hate freaking cliffhangers. They just aren't cool.
Plus I can't sleep and after five minutes of writing this as an away message I finally realize this is more of a blog rambling than an away message rambling. It's almost 2 in the morning which means I have 7 hours to sleep. My body takes one night away from sleeping (I'll explain that in a future post, maybe tomorrow after school) and my sleep cycle goes haywire.

The Teenage Bill of Rights
On this day (5/13/06) Colin Walker became a proud signer of The Teenage Bill of Rights.
Monday, May 08, 2006
I'm not beating myself up, I just need to get this out...
Sometimes I feel really stupid. Sometimes I feel like I never do anything right, and sometimes I'm right.
Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve what I've been given, and I don't. I don't deserve the family I live with, I don't deserve the friends I have, I don't deserve the wonderful courtier I have. I am thankful for all of that, especially Heidi...
I just wish sin wasn't so tempting. I wish it wasn't so easy to fall back into. I wish it wasn't so enticing, so within my reach. I know I won't be perfect, but maybe if I could just get rid of this one sin...that would be great. Maybe if it didn't have a hold of my life anymore, that'd be great. It's not illegal, I'm not breaking the law, other than God's law. I know though, that at one point I have broken the law because of this sin and it needs to stop. I hate myself for this and I can't imagine how much joy Satan is getting out of that fact.
Just venting.
Sometimes I feel like I don't deserve what I've been given, and I don't. I don't deserve the family I live with, I don't deserve the friends I have, I don't deserve the wonderful courtier I have. I am thankful for all of that, especially Heidi...
I just wish sin wasn't so tempting. I wish it wasn't so easy to fall back into. I wish it wasn't so enticing, so within my reach. I know I won't be perfect, but maybe if I could just get rid of this one sin...that would be great. Maybe if it didn't have a hold of my life anymore, that'd be great. It's not illegal, I'm not breaking the law, other than God's law. I know though, that at one point I have broken the law because of this sin and it needs to stop. I hate myself for this and I can't imagine how much joy Satan is getting out of that fact.

The teacher popped a test, I know I'm gonna mess...
...and my dog ate all my homework last night.
I'm watching Saved by the Bell and eating Funyuns. Yeah that's right. Funyuns at 10:15 in the morning. Yum.
Anyway...not only that...I'm downloading the new Avatar. Yay! Don't worry...I essentially got it for free. I bought it a while ago...I bought the whole season on iTunes a while ago and I download them as they add them. It's a pretty sweet deal, I don't have to tape Avatar. I was at lunch when it was on...so I could've watched it at Target last night...but I just sorta forgot. And when I did remember it was already halfway through the episode.

The only thing worst than beating a dead horse...
...is betting on one. (Relient K song)
Welp, for today I am not going into work until 4 (as opposed to the usual 1) which is going to make a very interesting closing time. I'll have to take my lunch at 8 because that's my fourth hour and we have to take a lunch by our fifth hour (which is 9).
Anyway, the reason I'm not going is because I'm feeling worst. Yesterday I stayed home from a prayer night and helping out 2:42 (my college group) set up for a Cinco de Mayo (today) gathering that I wouldn't have gone to anyway. I stayed home because my allergies were really messing me up. Now, today, my allergies are messing up but now I feel like I have a cold as well...which is like a double whammy.
So I'm just going into work 3 hours later...which probably won't help too much, but I'm not going to call of because that would put them in a very bad position and I don't want to do that to them. No matter how much I hate working at Target I don't dislike the people (at least in the Photo Lab) I work with.
Anyway, that's all. Oh, and now for the reason I have that title.
I like that song. That's all.

So we've come to an un-understanding?
Don't know what the title means, it has nothing to do with anything right now.
I am sitting in the church office right now, waiting for something to finish printing. I really have no other work to do except get this mailer out. I suppose I could be stamping envelopes and whatnot, but that would actually mean getting up. I think once I finish this I shall do that.
It's about 1:30 and I'm here a half hour earlier, so I will probably end up going home a half hour earlier just because I want to be responsible and get out of her on time. (I've committed to being here 6 hours a week, although I'd like more, I just don't have that option)
Anyway, hope y'all are having a good day. (Imagine a southern belle accent, if'n you wish; I don't really have that kind of an accent, but it's not too hard to imagine on me...although mostly females have southern belles and I am quite male)

Not too happy right now.
So I taped The Apprentice tonight and somehow it didn't tape all the way. I thought I set it for...*sigh* I just realized what I did.
I used to only watch one hour of T.V. a week...and now I've doubled it to two hours. The other show I watch is Smallville which is on Thursdays from 8 to 9. I start it at 7:59 and tape until 9:01 just to make sure it tapes everything. The Apprentice is on Monday nights from 9 to 10. Tonight when I set the VCR up I set it to tape from 8:58 (because I've since learned that our VCR is a little behind) and then I automatically set the time to 9:01 instead of 10:01. *sigh* I'm an idiot.
Well at least I know it was completely my fault, although that doesn't immrpove things too much. I'll just have to wait and get it on iTunes although they haven't stuck last weeks up there so I have no idea when they're gonna get this one up.
Have a great night everyone. If you know someone who knows me who doesn't read this, and you are entertained, pass it on. I like having readers, it's nice to know that what I'm writing (although all of this is ultimately for me) is being seen by people other than me.
Goodnight. I'm going to try and close my eyes and dream of sugar plum fairies...which would be pretty interesting since I've never seen a sugar plum fairy.
Argh.
*UPDATE (5/2)*
iTunes must have read this blog because I woke up this morning to see that both this weeks and last weeks was put up on iTunes store. Yay them!

Would you still be my friend of I spelled lunatic with a k?
I wouldn't. At least if I did it on purpose I wouldn't be my friend anymore. If I spelt it like that on accident, then it'd be okay. Like spelling it like lunatick, that's okay, I wouldn't stop being my friend anymore.
Oops! I just spelt it with a k on purpose. I must abandon my friendship with myself. This is truly a sad day indeed.
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well. I'm in a weird mood right now. I just ate one of my kids from Xplosion and now we are discussing song speeds in church.

Got this in an email...
I stole this from the same friend that sent me the stress free list. She doesn't send much stuff to me, but when she does she manages to get some good stuff in there.
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm . He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner. As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.
Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch the next day Grandma said, "Sally, let's wash the dishes." But Sally said, "Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to him, "Remember the duck?" So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Sally to help make supper." Sally just smiled and said," Well that's all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help." She whispered again, "Remember the duck?" So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally's... he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you."
Thought for the day and every day thereafter?
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) ..whatever it is....You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing..... He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven. He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you. The great thing about God is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He forgets..... It is by God's grace and mercy that we are saved.
Always remember: God is at the window.

Interesting night last night...
I have some weird influences in the middle of the night. I went to bed about 11:50. Turned off my reading lamp and apparently I fell asleep. Woke up about 12:10, same night and I thought my lamp light had gone out because it was off. I tapped the bulb, twisted it to make sure it was on tight and then finally went back to sleep realizing what I had done 20 minutes ago.
I'm funny when I'm tired.

36 things to do to relieve stress.
If any of you guys know me or if you've ever just read my blogs you know I deal with stress. If you didn't know that, you do now. I have HUGE problems with stress. I actually got excused from a class for too much stress. (true story)
Here is something a friend of mine sent me through email (thanks Elfy!)
1. Pray
2. Go to bed on time.
3. Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
4. Say no to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that compromise your mental health.
5. Delegate tasks to capable others.
6. Simplify and unclutter your life.
7. Less is more. (although one is often not enough, two are often too many)
8. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
9. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time, don't lump the hard things all together.
10. Take one day at a time.
11. Separate worries from concerns. If a situation is a concern, find out what God would have you do and let go of the anxiety. If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
12. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
13. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
14. K.Y.M.S. (Keep Your Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
15. Do something for the kid in you everyday.
16. Carry a Bible with you to read while waiting in line.
17. Get enough rest.
18. Eat right.
19. Get organized so everything has its place.
20. Listen to a tape while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
21. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
22. Every day, find time to be alone.
23. Having problems? Talk to God on the spot. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed to try to pray.
24. Make friends with Godly people.
25. Keep a folder of favorite scriptures on hand.
26. Remember that the shortest bridge between despair and hope is often a good "Thank you Jesus!"
27. Laugh.
28. Laugh some more!
29. Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
30. Develop a forgiving attitude. (most people are doing the best they can)
31. Be kind to unkind people they probably need it the most.
32. Sit on your ego.
33. Talk less; listen more. (it's why we have two ears and one mouth)
34. Slow down.
35. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe
36. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before.
