desset pizza

Dessert pizza is of the devil!

ahhh....the memories

this picture was from one of the more fun times i've had with junior highers. they had an outing and they were supposed to find people in the mall that were dressed up, and the leaders asked the senior highers if we would come and dress up. so i thought what the heck? why not? and i got with alex and we dressed up like goths and walked around the mall and scared the peepee out of little small children and their paraniod mothers. it was very fun. i want to do it again. so if you think you would like to do this, lemme know.

scorpions

for some reason recently, i have come up with this like of scorpions. they are kewl. and they are really interesting creatures, especially historically. in greek mythology, they stood for military readiness and alertness. it was a sign of a great warrior. just thought i'd let ya'll know. i like scorpions. maybe i'll get reincarnated as one someday...that would be kewl.

global warmin is real, i swear

i'm not kiddin, that whole global warming thing is pretty crazy. i mean, when it snows for half a day at the end of marhc, there is something wrong. especially when the world is supposed to be be getting warmer. to be honest, i wouldn't mind a little global warmin...i want my tan back. and my long shaggy hair, and sideburns.....i miss summer. and swimming. and hanging out at night and the sun goin down around 8-9. and all the stars....
i want this year to be over so bad. summer is like a symbol of freedom. and i can't wait to get it.

this picture is not of the recent snowfall we recieved. it was just one of the pics i already had on file.

there are already enough of them in this world.

where the streets have no names - U2

I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear
Without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
Then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, and I see love
See our love turn to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do

enough is enough - i'm starting to get mad

no, this post is not about school, or people or senoritis. its about email. and myspace. and facebook. and just about every site you go to. i am getting sick of all this bs about "find your true love" and the "prefect person" yada yada yada. and they always have these girls trying to look like porn stars. its so stupid. these people have no clue about what love is.
Love has nothing to do with a sexy person. it has nothing to do with how much you want someone. it has nothing to do with compatability. it has nothing to do with "naughty or nice" (this one really ticks me off - it is so stupid). love has nothing to do with finding the one.
love is a choice. it is a way of living. it is the parents who spanks their child for doing the wrong thing so that they can instill a biblical view of life. it is the parent who sometimes lets a teen leard the hard way when that teen won't listen anymore. it is a mother getting up in the middle of the night to check on a sick child. it is a dad coming home from work early to spend time with his wife and kids. it is a freind who takes the keys from a drunken friend....
....its is letting people who hate you drive nails through your hands and let you die on a cross. it is rising again and sending a special tool to those who follow you so that they may learn and grow in you....
love is not a feeling. love is, was, and always will be...

...the Son of God.

Finally!

i was able to open my window today! for some reason that just makes me feel better. i've been wanting it to warm up and start turning into spring and summer and it finally is. and then when i was playing airsoft with jordan and jared, we went outside. it was awesome. i think i might be able to make it through the end of the year if we continue having weather like this.

solitare vs. solitary

i finally got some games on my palm pilot. i had some before, but then it died and i lost everything. so i'm not gonna let that happen again. but needless to say, i got solitare. and i have perfected a mean game at it, might i add. and its all thanx to hanny the squeeker. she got me started into the game a few months back. so her ya go....this post is dedicated to you.
and on a different note, my parents have left me all alone at home for the evening. its kinda weird...i got a bit freaked out. i was in the basement playing nfl blitz and i heard the dog moving around...except it didn't sound like her at all. i don't know what she was doing, but it sounded like someone rearranging the furniture. so i came up and checked on her..and she just laid on the floor and whined at me...stupid dog. i told her she could come downstairs and hang with me, and eventually she did. (she's kinda slow in the head) but then she went back upstairs and whined some more. whatever. i hope my parents enjoy themselves. i'm glad they are doing this - they have been so busy that they never get time to spend with each other, and i admit that i'm not always the most romantic person for them to hang with. so yay for them. and may they have many happy returns.

wed nights and little kids

.....little kids. they have so much energy. and it makes me wonder - was i that hyper? i wouldn't be suprised. they either wanted me to throw them up in the air, or spin them around. and as soon as i'd put one down, there would be 2 more that wanted to do it. and they always wanted to go higher or faster. but eventually they had to go home. i like working with them. i've learned a lot from teaching them. and they like me too.
today, i went to play halo at a friends house after school. and no matter how many times i play, i still come to the same conclusion: it isn't worth what people put into it. it can completely change people (including me) so much. it means way to much to a lot of guys. its really quite pathetic. i'm glad i don't have an xbox. i don't think it would help me at all. and besides...i still have tony hawks and nfl blitz. and othere stuff. like family, and a job, and devotions...i wonder how much time is spent playing games vs. reading the word. i know it is way out of proportion for me...and all i have is a n64. i'm not trying to judge them, but i'm just wondering... anyway, some of the actions seemed rather childish, including some of what i did. i think we would all be better off without such things.

the power of our words...and our prayers

well, many people have noticed that someone has been leaving comments as an "anonymous" person. and many of you have also noticed that the comments being left by this person are completely uncalled for, immature, obnoxious, and totally pointless other than to perhaps make some of us mad. so this post has 2 messages:
1 - to the "anonymous" poster - whoever you are, i have been praying for you. seriously. something must be going on in your life that bothers and upsets you so much that you try to make others around you upset. i can't imagine what it is since i don't know who you are, but i really do care. however, they was you are leaving comments is wrong. there is no need to be so derogatory. and the random swearing and crude comments that you have made only make you seem very much like the idiotic fool and the scoffer that are spoken of in Proverbs. it makes me sad to realize that the more you do this, the more punishment and unhappiness you heap upon yourself. so please stop. not only for our sake, but for yours as well.
2 - for the rest of us - why do people do things like that? what happens to them to make them so spiteful toward the rest of us? i think part of it may be how we treat these people. whoever this person is knows my name. maybe i did something to them that was ungodly. maybe they just don't like me. i don't know for sure. but i think we can all learn something from this. this person is hurting and they want to make others hurt. what can we do? we can love those around us and try to show them that there is a way to be loved in a way that a human cannot comprehend. so the next time that annoying person in your life says or does whatever it is that sets you off, pray for them instead of mockin them. and myabe say something kind to them. you never know how much a little thing can mean to someone else.

the ride of your life

no, this isn't about my bike, or a car i wrecked, or a roller coaster, or anything else crazy like that. its about life and what we experience...and things we hardly ever experience.
there is something about life. it can't be expressed with words. it can only be felt. it is a power, a being inside that moves within. when it is stirred, it can take over you completely. it can change your mind even though it has been set a certian way for as long as you can remember. it can make you turn over control against your will. it lures you into your own mind to search and wander. it makes us realize all of the rubbish in our lives...and helps convince us to lay it at the foot of the cross and move on. it shows us that there is more to life then our own wants and desires, and that many times our wants and desires are what causes us to get pulled down. if we just let them go, things will be so much simpler.
but so many times we have the wrong view of letting go. we view it as just not caring or forgetting. but it is so much more at that. we have to litterally take it to God and tell him, "God, this is not my own. it is Your life that You created. You know exactly what i need to do, but i can't do it on my own. i need Your help, Your power. i need your Holy Spirit to give me the strength to put this behind me and move on with my life." and then, and only then, will your burden be lifted, the rubbish erased from your life. and God will take you up in His everloving arms, and give you......

......the ride of your life.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater

this is one of my favorite games of all times...on the awesomest game system of all time. if i could be a profesional in any sport, i think i'd probly have to pick skateboarding. now, some of you might be thinkin, yeah right. you've never skated in your life. and that is where you go wrong. i actually used to be a fairly decent skater (for a person in my age group). before my family moved to the blueberry farm, we lived in dayton. my house was only one house away from dayton elementary. i would skate there all the time...i loved it. and right when i started to learn soem sweet moves...we moved. i haven't skated since then. i took the wheels off of my board and tried to make a jerry-rigged snowboard that i could use and get pulled by the tractor...it didn't work. but anyway, i've always wished i could have reached my full potential as a skater...maybe when i'm in college. its not like i'll be studying or anything....

53 days....

....til its all mine......it is so stinkin hard to focus in school. its all i can think about. 53 days seems like such a long time.....waaaaaaahhh!
