The Motions

Had a good day today. Work and school.
I really like my manager, Dave, he's very easy to approach when I have a question.

Took my sisters over to their friends house so, home alone watching the Cosby Show right now. Might watch the Godfather later, I don't know.

Have to do schoolwork tomorrow.
Have a vocation and patriotic project to work on and homework.

Listening to Matthew West earilier. Has a really good chorus in the song "The Motions"


"I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day,
Without your all-consuming
Passion inside of me.
I don't wanna spend my whole life askin'
'What if I had given everything, instead of goin' throught the motions?'"

I thought it was really good.

Trying to figure out how to get music to play on this so I can play "The Center" but, it involves html and I have absolutely NO idea how to mess with that so-
I'm off. My class is going to paintball tomorrow, I have to miss
: ( I LOVE paintball. Oh well.
Friend day, Sunday curious to see how many people come.

Alrighty, Night all!

Westerns

I really enjoy westerns. Way fun to watch, even if they're very predictable.
Just finished watching "The Magnificent Seven" for the first time.
It ended just as happily as "The Great Escape" did. (I'll whine about that movie later)
The final line in the magnificent seven was.

"We always lose"

How happy sounding is that? (this would be after the 7 was reduced to 2)

I liked it though, just like I like the Great Escape, it just catches me off guard when it's not happily ever after Like "El Dorado." : )

Well, it is only 7:55, I'm finished with school, have no chores to do, YAY! Gonna have a nice night.

Finished reading Macbeth, and really don't know what happened... I know Macbeth and his wife and several other people died, but, I'm kinda confused on who did what, when and how.

Hope my teacher explains it. (He's not nearly as good as Mrs. Schmuck was.)

Well, I'm going to go see what my family is watching downstairs.

Night All!

Batman or Buddy?

Had a fantastic time Sunday night at an afterglow. Hung out with friends, and got to know some people in my class a little bit better.

At one point the new Batman movie was being discussed when the question came up:

Who's better? Batman or Buddy the Elf?



You decide!


(I still haven't seen any of the new batman movies so my vote goes to Buddy!)


: )


Not much going on this week. I work thursday and friday, and will have to do some schoolwork on saturday.


I like the fact that I ended up taking American Government during the Presidential election. I'm learning how a lot of this stuff works. Pretty cool.


Not doing much right now, half watching "Primeval" A british TV show where there are 'anomalies' allowing dinosaurs and the like to travel to the present day, where our heroes must find them and send them back (a) before the anomalie closes. (b) without the public finding out. Not a very good plot, but fun to watch.


Kind of like "Speed Racer"


Well, I guess I'm gonna go.


Night All!

Sunday

Oh, So not used to having a job. : )
So, worked 8 hours yesterday in comparison to my usual 4. It was okay, just another day of work, only really long. It was a saturday, so really busy, and the people working were:

me (still very slow),
a new Manager/Assitant Manager, (not sure which),
a guy who was only about 2 days my senior, and
an ERP, (Emergency Relief Personnel. They travel from store to store as needed, so he didn't know where anything was).

Because of that, the first couple hours were a little hectic.
It sounds worse than it was though.

It's an okay job, not one I want to have forever and ever, but fine for now.

Church Today! I love being around God's people. And I (usually) love listening to His Word being taught.
When I don't, it means somethings wrong with me, usually in the area of, "I'm doing something wrong"
That's still something that's difficult for me. I don't like to be wrong, but if I don't accept that I'm wrong I can't fix it. So, an area of growth for me.

Another area of growth is that I need to do right because it's the right thing to do, NOT because I don't want to have to go and ask forgiveness for it later. That would be Pride a.k.a, me not seeing myself like God sees me.

Well, I am going to go have some breakfast.
Have a good day all of you.
And I'll see some of you later.

Paint.net

My dad found a site called Paint.net, it has pretty much the same applications as the program I used to create: "Thinking on Them" below.


So I've been playing around with that for a while. Made these two last night and this morning.
Those are pictures we took when we went to England in 2003


























And the one above is pictures from Peru in 2007.

Ah! I could do that stuff all day.

Had a question in one of the comments.
Yes, Fireproof is a "Christian movie"
and, according to IMDB.com number 4 in the box office! mad over $6 MILLION! how cool is that!
http://www.imdb.com/chart/


Also had a request for some "Sparky Speech"

A couple of Sundays ago I recited matt 28:19, Go ye therefore and teach all nations.
Then all of the Sparkies recited John 3:16 "For God so loved the world-"
One little boy pipes up.
"The whole world??? That's a lot of nations!"

We were also warned that week not to use the handrail because of possible boogers...

Sparks.

: )

Going over to pick my sisters up in a couple of minutes, then dropping them off at my Grandma's for a sleepover. Don't know what I'll do tonight, was gonna watch a movie with my mom, don't know if that's gonna happen though.

Alright, I'm outta here, got to go pick up my sisters.

Night all.
