exciting day thus far

i woke up late because i couldn't get to sleep last night, but the action didn't start until i was up

once up, i got a call/bang on the door from martha because the freezer in the bcm kitchen downstairs had caught fire due to bad/old wiring within the unit

then gina miscalculated her mileage for the month, having put down a 52 mile trip to chick-fil-a

(you had to'ave been there for that one to be funny)

it's only 2, so there's no tellin where this day could go from here lol

history

we have a new president

and, while i might not agree with his politics, his stances, or the fact that he's been far over-hyped as the single-man savior of our country and the pinnacle of black liberation, he is my president now so i shall pray for his guidance, strength, wisdom, and mostly the status of his relationship with christ

peace

still goin

two days into my active routine

two days is not much in the long run, but right now, its huge

my legs are sore and i'm tired (mainly bc of the crazy long days at work)

all for the betterment of my health

peace

here we go

tomorrow, clark and i start running

the plan is to get into a solid routine

run at 9, come back, general calisthenics, a fruit smoothie for breakfast, shower

every morning

once i do that and get used to it, i might be in shape enough to start p90x

we'll see

peace

back

i'm back in miami, pretty much already in full swing

tuesday we hit the ground running with a day of "tabling" at fiu

if you ever get the chance to table at fiu, don't 

its essentially sitting at a table giving away a free pen and some information about your organization to the 4 people out of 10,000 that actually stop at said table

______

the hogs won tonight against #7 texas

what made the victory even sweeter is that i watched the entire game with my roommate who is from texas

_____

i've been reading "the last lecture"

its been ok thus far

its had several themes and recurring items that have inspired me

maybe i'll be inspired in several areas (enough to make a move in life)

audience

does anyone read this besides my mom?

million-to-one shot

i had a wonderful late breakfast this morning with an old friend

i was nervous going into it, but heard some jack just before we were seated so that calmed me down to be able to have a good time

i had to go diagnose my sister's car (that i technically still own half of bc she hasn't paid me for) because it broke down

then i took down the xmas tree and was stood up by a friend for a movie we were going to see (she made other plans)

but, when its all said and done, breakfast was good enough to hold me over for the next week or so

___

million-to-one shot?

so, you're tellin me there's a chance!

...maybe

2009

it seems like only a few years ago i was a kid and couldn't stay up until midnight and now here i am at 25, hanging out with friends well past midnight but wishing i had gone to bed earlier because i'm tired.  i guess life has a way of coming back in circles.

last night we played apples to apples.

the word was "glorious"

there were many cards played, but they included one "sean connery"

you would think, as would any sane person, that "sean connery" would trump anything

but no

"vampires" won

i'm tired of all this twilight crap infiltrating everything

i'm ready for this craze to be over

___

even though, as i age, i realize that "new years" is just another day when you get down to it, there remains an air of change, renewal, and reflection

this time last year i had a conversation with ben and corley about considering the semester missions program as a viable thing to do after graduation

now, here i am entering into my second semester as a semester missionary, with most likely another year planned

this year, i wonder what i'll be doing after my time in the semester program is through

i would like to look into something internationally, or something along that line

i'm not the scholastic type so, unless i was told i'd not be able to do any type of ministry that i want without a mdiv, i'll skip seminary

so, who knows where i'll be in 2010

maybe i'll have a future lined up, maybe i'll have a plan, maybe i'll have an idea

whatever this year brings, i'll attempt to make the most of it and see what happens

for those that are worried my love life, or the continual lack there of, i'm sure that will be one of the few things in my life that doesn't change lol

peace
