An Olser, Allergies, and Lost Keys.

Ive seen better days than today. But then to say ive seen worse. On the spectrum, I think today falls somewhere between unfortunate and what i like to call the suck zone. The day started off on what some would dub the wrong foot as I brushed my teeth only to discover a sharp sting on my lip. It was an olser, which are never fun. They make it impossible to eat ketchup or any salt based prodcut. Until this spring, ive never been allergic to anything. Or at least anything ive come into contact with. However, around the beginning of May I couldnt breath for like two weeks. Im sure it was a world record. Maybe. Now those allergies are back and ive been snotty and clogged up all day.
Due to all of this happening, I came home from school to crash on the couch and missed piano. I was so tired I couldnt even raise my left eyebrow. Pathetic. Maybe my body just knows that I have Rock The Universe coming up and it wants to get anything that could keep from me dancing out of my system. Good to know. Its less than a week away and my work schedule is not too bad this week either.
Hopefully Ill be on the up and up by tomorrow morning.

The US Open has begun so that always keeps me in front of the tv and surfing the net for match results. I think more people should appreciate tennis. Its extremely instense. Most americans dont. Maybe i should move to England.

Its thundering outside.
That calls for a good night's sleep.

Worse Than Razor Teeth Making Camp Beneath Your Bed.

This is seriously the most disturbing thing ive ever seen.
I warn you before you watch this that youre life will never be the same and you will probably feel like you need to take a bath afterwards.

Tell me that wasnt scary.
At least now we all have an idea of what religion looks like.


Today was distinguishable from the rest.
I was talking to an old lady at work about God and how so many people are hypocrites (im certainly not audacious enough to remove my self from this group) and she said something that blew my mind. "the blind can't lead the blind".

the simplicity.
the complexity.
hmmm.

A Blog On The Sabbath When I Should Be Resting.

"And today was a day like any other...."

If you know who that is, youve earned a pat on the back.
So today was pretty routine(ish). Church, work, home. Except today i finally dismantled my bed and forced (literally) the couch i bought through my unhinged doorway. Its nice to have no bed. Now my 4 x 4 room feels like a 5 x 5.
Now that i think about, today was so plain. So ordinary. Something must have happenend that I've forgotten. Surely...

Rock the Universe is 10 days away. Enough said. That means friends. That means music. That means Relient K. That lethal combination can have side affects including but not limited to: amusement, estaticism, cramps in the abdominal region (from loads of laughter), and the occastional...nausea, heart burn, indegestion, upset stomach, diarehha. Jingles make the world go round. That i know.

Did you know that chris says hes making a certain phrase ive coined his headline. That im looking forward to. I'm sure it will be big. I have a fish named Melvin. I bought him a few months ago. I bought two other fish Bonnie and Clyde, but tragically, Bonnie died so, of course, Clyde had to kill himself. But the awkward thing is they died months ago and Melvin is still going strong. Now the twist! Wait for it..Wait for it. Hes a cleaner fish! You know the ones that eat the shadooby the other fish excrete. So how then is he still alive. Im conviced that Melvins the spiritual reincarnation of a young child by the name of Ishamel that died during the Holocaust. Its pretty interesting actually.

Oh well.
One fish. Two fish. Red fish. Jew fish.

This blog makes no sense.
Neither do I.

Rhino. Pidgeontoe. (You decode).

Who Needs to See The Optician? Eye do!

Somehow. I woke up today with a twitch in my right eye. It has been consistently annoying throughout the day and I dont understand where it came from. Do people just wake up with eye twitches. Or is it going to get progressively worse. Oh well, guess eye will just have to wait it out. Im done with puns. Even if theyre great fun.

Anyway, today was the first day of class. It was ok. College is college and its not fun from most standpoints. If one of my professors isnt careful he is going to be strangled by his belt. Naturally, he wears it almost around his neck. When im 70 or so, im going to wear skinny jeans and band tshirts and not even care.

Well, i guess this is the jist of my daily blog.
If youre familiar with basic spanish, watch this.
It gave me quite the laugh.

The Agreement With Apathy

Today started out just like any other day. Cliche as this is already sounding, it might be worth the read. The problem is that lately my 'other days' have been filled with a lack for, well anything. Im starting my sophmore year in collge, getting back into a routine (if you will) and have honestly never been more tired from nothing in my entire life. I have no reason to be tired. I just have grown used to my complacency. Needless to say, things were a little different today. A couple of days ago, someone was telling me that i should check out the Message. It's a version of the Bible that has been paraphrased (not translated) by a pastor named Eugene Peterson. With a name like that, you know things are probably going to get pretty serious. Anyway, today I actually purchased it and without even reading the actual Bible, I read his introduction.
I wasnt really even paying attention to what i was reading because a group of people that were already at church were getting on nerves (mainly because I was in a bad mood but also because..well). Then, I came across this.
"Reading is the first thing, just reading the Bible. As we read we enter a new world of words and find ourselves in on a conversation in which God has the first and last words. We soon realize that we are included in the conversation. We didnt expect this. But this precisely what generation after generation of Bible readers do find: The Bible is not only abou us but to us. In these pages we become insiders to a conversation in which God uses words to form and bless us, to teach us and guide us, to forgive and save us.
We aren't used to this. We are used to reading books that explain things, or tell us what to do, or inspire or entertain us. But this is different. This is a world of revelation: God revealing to people just like us- men and women created in God's image- how God works and what is going on in this world. At the same time that God reveals this all, God draws us in by invitation and command to participate in God's working life. We gradually (or suddenly) realize that we are insiders in the most significant action of our time as God establishes his grand rule of love and justice on this earth. "Revelation" means that we are reading something we couldn't have guessed or figured out on our own. Revelation is what makes the Bible unique."

If you read all that, youre a serious trooper. And hopefully, you can take a piece of understanding from it like I have. Those words are so true and so often I am aware of God's presence but can't begin to fathom His justice. I'm not trying to get all preachy or tell you I had a "God moment" because i strongly dislike that term. But today, God knew what the burden on my heart was and he knew exactly what i was going through. I like this lyric "You're the only one that understands completely. You're the only one who knows me yet still loves completely." And that song holds a dear place in my heart because sometimes all I yearn for is understanding.

This blog is beginning to take the shape of a short novel.
I think I'll wrap it up here by saying that the ties I have so often shared with apathy in recent months have been severed.
Ive never been more glad to lose a 'friend'.

Getting Antsy.

I have taken the time and effort to construct a blog. I think this says something. I have a reason to be on the computer even more and that I feel the need to write about an incredibly boring life. All things aside, I have a serious problem. Today, as I walked into the kitchen to get a doughnut I noticed a black circle under the box. After reaching in for said doughnut, the black dot began to scatter confirming my suspicions that the table didnt have the dreaded African Ringworm. No, what I was dealing with was much more dangerous than that. More than something a simple vaccine could solve. We have ants. And its pretty bad. There was a line from the kitchen door to the counter (which is probably a good mile and a half in the eyes of an ant). As most people can imagine, having an ant infestation doesnt make you feel so sanitary. Or good about your own home. Thankfully, someone has already lived through this situation and RAID was invented. I recommended that my mom not eat anything from the kitchen within spraying range because the room was bathed in insecticide. As of 7:33 east coast time, the ant party is officially over.

On another note, someone who i like to hear write and get insight on has constructed a blog (apparently weeks ago im just not in the loop). Though i wont announce who due to said person and his confindentiallity agreement with myself (giggle giggle), lets just say they're not so good with friend requests. I think those of you who know who Im talking about are sort of rejoicing inside because its even more of an escape from our own lives. But lets be honest, Jon Schneck is the best blogger we know and will be the champion for quite some time.

I think ill go run.
Im tired.
