Rocks into Rivers

I'm in a triple.And at this moment you're like "what?".Well today I found out my dorm. Room number. Dorm mates. Suite mates.Oh and the fact that my room is a triple. Aka, three people sleeping in a room the same size as a double.Great.But, the one dorm mate that I can find on facebook is definately cool.We're going to get along quite well.His name is David. He likes volleyball....

Catastrophe and the Cure

So today, and tonight were both really good.Made $120 in tips, so that's always wonderful.Bought new speakers, spent an hour cutting and trimming some wire so I can plug them into my sub.I'm slowly prepping myself for college packing.Yeah its all good :)So today during my break at McLintocks, I started thinking.For people that don't believe in God, Jesus, etc.What is the point of life?That somehow, we randomly were brought to life.And then somewhere down the road we die.And then there's nothing.So everything we've done. Lived for.Evaporates to...

They Move on Tracks of Never-Ending Light

Well hello. Smiles from me :)Not really a smile. More like a growl. But...Notice a difference?Why yes. My teeth no longer have metal in them.What a joy that is!I got them off today. I've been waiting so long for this.After a crazy expander. Crazy rubber bands. Jaw surgery. Etc. I am now braces free.It feels weird. slimy. But so amazing.Its crazy to think four years ago (January...

Love is the Reversal

So as I continue to thoroughly enjoy my MacBook Pro. There are new fun things that I've been able to do.One of which was Skype. So last night I skyped for the very first time.It was actually really fun. Most likely due to the person I was talking to.Tara! I laughed so much last night. And made the stupidest funny faces and random noises. It was one of the funnest conversations...

Hold On To What You Believe

This feels as if its just a wonderful dream.I awoke this morning to look at a MacBook Pro sitting on the floor of my bedroom.Not as if it was a "surprise" because I've had it for a day.But it still felt way too amazing to be real.God is good! "For the Lord is good; His lovingkindness is everlasting and His faithfulness is to all generations." - Psalm 100.And He really has shown it lately in the many blessings He's bestowed upon me.Story time:So, around four months ago, I applied for a scholarship that a family was giving to a student.It was called...

Thank the Watchmaker

So something I can't believe I forgot to write about last night.I went to the orthodontist yesterday.Same old routine. Sit in the chair. Wait for Dr. Garret.Oh but wait, this time, he told me.I have ___ week(s) till my braces come off.(I'm not going to tell you when, you'll just have to wait and see)And I am now absolutely excited.I wonder what life is going to be like without braces.How cool!But. For the next blank week(s). I have to wear these intense rubber bands.Since I have no wire on the top. The rubber bands like go up and down like six...

Let Love Explode and Bring the Dead to Life!

So I've wanted to write this for a while.I don't even know why it took me as long as it did.Just some rambling thoughts of mine.So the day I was heading home from my surgery, we stopped at Del Taco. I was just sitting in the car, and a guy walks out of DT and tries and throws away his lid. He misses. Ha! But onward... He knows he misses it, starts to walk away, but turns, walks back, picks it up. Conscience conscience conscience. For the rest of the 3 hour drive, it got me thinking about CS Lewis' awesome proof of God through morality in Mere Christianity....

Roll Away Your Stone.

So I'm back to regular life now."Regular" as in no more sitting around due to my stupid nose.Back to work, which is definately a good thing.I was missing McLintock's. Not to mention, I'm now working more hours at Wayne's tire.So this past week or so, I haven't really done much. Until now.But I've got to say, that without my guitars, I would not have survived.My Luna. My Yamaha....
