Geez...

I wish I knew what my deal was. I swear 9 out of 10 times I'm with people I don't know it just sucks. Movie was fun, just hated sitting there all quiet...:-(

Shooting pool was fun though! Pat was so freaking LUCKY!!! haha
blah...

So, should I go to the lake or go to see a $2 movie with Chi Alpha people. I don't know if there is going to be drinking or not at the lake but I sure as heck know it's going to be cold. The movie....eh...not to thrilled about National Treasure. However, I've heard some pretty good reviews on it. What to do what to do...

Thoughts...

I read this quote a long time ago and it was actually really cool. Very deep.
"Beauty is not only a terrible thing, it is also a mysterious thing.
Where God and the Devil strive for mastery, and the battleground
is the heart of men." -Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Pretty crazy quote! There could be so many meanings to this. Kind of frustrating. The word "beauty" means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. Beauty can be seeing your bride on your wedding day. The transformation from everyday jeans and shirt to *BAM* "awe factor". Beauty can be watching rabbits in your backyard, to being a mile high in the mountains wondering how God could have done all of this in six days. Being in Biology class and trying to take it all in as something God created just amazes me. Just a fraction of his beauty is shown in his creation. Everything is perfect, has it's perfect job, and we wouldn't be here if something was gone. Beauty is mysterious because I don't think our brains can really comprehend what it truly is. Probably due to the fact it means too much. But of course Satan has to wedge his way in and try to corrupt it all. So far it seems he's doing a great job. Sex is corrupted, girls are no longer beautiful but have been turned into objects, now even babies due to abortion and a plethora of other things. You realize anorexia and bolemia would probably be close to non-existent if physical beauty weren't such a huge issue?

Where do you find beauty around you? Where do you find YOUR beauty? Do you share it?

GOD BLESS!

What in the world?

I got my evaluation today at good ole Food 4 Less. It appears I don't do enough on my own, lack self confidence, and I don't just do the project. I'm confused, I thought the idea was to do it right the first time. Am I not right? Don, who is no longer at the store, always used to tell me to do something but never how he wanted it. Am I not supposed to ask then? Maybe I could just do it how I want to and be creative! Now that could be fun! For me anyways haha. I guess I'll have to see how the new manager is. He seems to be way better than Don!

Anybody confused with what they want to do with life? I'm getting so tired of the same crap new day thing. I might possibly move to Fort Myers around January sometime. I kinda think it's what God is wanting because everything seems to be falling in place. But the thought of moving that far is kinda scary. Speaking of Florida...since I've never used this site before I'm going to play around and attempt to add a picture! So we'll see what happens. I added a dog one but it put it as a whole seperate post and I want pics IN my posts.




That pelican was actually pretty cool! I guess he thought he was going to get some fish, being he was on the fish cleaning ledge, table, thingy lol.

Since this post is so long I'll probably just post another entry with thoughts and stuff...

I wish I had a cool dog.... Posted by Hello

Hmmm....Domino effect?

I was reading a friend's entry here and decided I wanted to post a comment. Well...that led to signing up, aaaaand kinda liking the layouts and just everything vs. Xanga that I was using. So I got to thinking while I was writing a thoughtful estudious (haha) comment. How about posting here instead of Xanga? So...I'm easily pleased so here I am. My first post and I have to say that it's actually much more "fun" here. THANKS SAM! Haha

Thanks to Sam's question of the day I've been bouncing it around in my head all day even through clase de espanol. Why is it that love can literally kill, yet be so enticing? If someone lit me on fire I don't think I'd come back for more....would you?!?! But I guess in my own way of thinking, love works everything out in the end. Why else would God create such a powerful emotion? Maybe the fact that I've never experienced it creates intrigue. Sure, I know my fam and friends love me. I know God loves me. But I think he was refering to the "significant other" type of love. Perhaps seeing it at the movies, mall, the park, and friends having it creates another aspect of "want". I know that my friends grandparents have been married for over 50 years and are still "in love". Something I won't truly understand untill I experience it.

Last night was a blast! Went with some friends to the Royals/Twins game. Of course the Twins won which was awesome but Julie was a blast. So was Trent but I haven't hung out with Julie in forever! I couldn't believe that it was her first time to a baseball game. How crazy is that!?!?

GO TWINS!!!

I guess my first post is for you Sam!

El Dios Bendice Cada uno! (God Bless everyone!)
