this side of glory

Since summer is officialy here and I'm not taking any summer courses, I've takin the liberty of planning out my summer schedual... it is as follows:

Monday-Friday:

7am / wake up and take care of "business." and workout for an hour
8am / get ready for work
9am - 7pm / Bill McCollum's
7pm - 11pm / Pick a movie and watch it on my new HUGE ASS TELEVISION SCREEN

My weekend days will be spent laying out and sleeping. My weekend nights will be spent reading, smoking cigars, and drinking coffee at my secure undiclosed location. On Sunday nights I will be at STATUS... the college ministry I run at the expense of Discovery Church. Gotta love it.

Anyway... While Im not deviating from this plan all too much, recent intresting developments in my personal life (talkin bout the ladies) will probably make this the most incredible summer in recent memory. I'm one heck of a lucky bastard. Don't want to count my chickens before their hatched, but this rooster's just saw daylight and is headin for the hen house.

I fell down the stairs in Millican hall yesterday and sprained my ankle. I wiped out in front of a hundred or so people and felt like such a loser. Forget about the physical pain I'm in. The emotional damage of yesterdays fall will scare for sure.

My brothers are hanging out with their girlfriends. My parents are spending the weekend at the beach. Where's Phil? Is he with his girlfriend? Is he on holiday at some remote location? No he's laying on the couch with his ankle elevated cause it's swollen like a tree trunk.

These are life's most pathetic moments.

Jess and I talked for like two hours after church last night. She probably thought I was growing in maturity by how much listening I did instead of talking, but really I was just thinking " DAMN you are hot." A thought like that takes sometime to process.

(just kidding Jess. You always have to clarify feciciousness for girls or they think what they want to think. Im just kidding about that too. Not really)

This is for Mike Bent... who likes when I don't post my religious banter and likes when I just whine about girls. Here is a poem entitled A Letter I'm too Shitless to Send

Dear every girl who's broken my heart
No I won't
'Always just be your good friend'
Do I look that pathetic?

Your Mom really liked me
I'm responsible
And safe
To bad 'safe' don't mean shit

Sorry I don't have a trust fund
or a nice car
or any respect for your friends

Virgins...
Thanks for NUTHIN

I came across something I haven't read in like three years. It's a prayer by AW Tozer, that was made known to me @ the end of high school. I re-read it yesterday and... well I'm glad.

O, God, I have tasted your goodness,
And it has both satisfied me
And made me thirsty for more
I am painfully concious
Of my need for further grace.
I am ashamed of my lack of desire.
O God, the Triune God, I want to want you;
I long to be filled with longing;
I thirst to be made more thirsty still
Show yourself to me I pray to you,
That may truley know you
Say to my soul
"Rise up, my love, my fair one and come away."
Then give me the grace to rise and follow up
From the misty lowland
Where I have wondered so long.

-A.W Tozer

I think it's time I move out of my parent's house. I came to this conclusion after realizing that I really like decorating and furnishing my room. From bed sheets to DVD organizers... my room is about as decked out as it gets. I need to expand... a living room, dinning room and kitchen would be nice, just for the sake of decorating. Now that Martha Stewart is behind bars she has herself some competition.

Dan and I should go looking for a place soon. Before summer. Definitly... how killer would that be, having a place for the summer!!! I'll keep you all updated.

My life is like a Third Eye Blind album, carefully constructued, beautifly orchistrated frivolous pop. After some thought and reflection... mostly prayer, I totaly disagree with what I wrote below. Sorry for the inconvenience.
