Last Resort

Isn't it funny how God is often our last resort when he should be our first option?.... Too often I catch myself in this place. I know He has only the best for me and I know he only desires to bless me and grow me, yet I get distracted sometimes....

I think it's important to remember that... I need to take it to Him, pray specifically and wait on the answer. Sometimes it's easy, but many times it's a call to grow and expand and after it's all said and done, I'm glad I did it...

Thank you Lord, for being patient, faithful and for your sweet grace... ^_^X Let's just pray my friends can be patient enough while God teaches me.

Jesus Culture

One thing that stuck in my mind tonight at the first session was that God, many times, will bring the same message to different people. It's funny how often I will hear the same message in different places.

Another cool thing about that though is that it will be the same message, however, the speaker through which it comes has a different view or different passion or purpose with it. So even though I've heard the message before, it the speaker has a passionate heart and isn't dry with it, it will peak my interest.

I think the second preacher I heard tonight spoke to my heart really well. It seems that good speakers are like good songs. You can appreciate a good song, but there's a particular sound that you will naturally just gravitate towards.

What hit me the most about tonight is that so many people have corrupted their purpose. To listen to the world telling you how to live your life instead of the one that gave you life seems so foolish, yet so many are lead into that trap.

An even bigger trap is the pseudo-surrender, where you keep the things you want, yet still live for God and His will. Tricked into believing that God is happy with just half of you. He said it Himself. He is a selfish God and will not share. To the human mind, it seems un-godly, however God is so omniscient... when you give Him all of you, there's no end to the good things that will take place. I'm learning a little more and repenting every day of my short comings...

God

Patient
Grace
Love

Those are the three that hit me hardest tonight...

Rock Star

Why can't my job be to play the guitar? I'd love to just come up with new arpeggios, licks, melodies, baselines and just tinker and jam and chord and solo.... *sigh* oh well.

Getting good on the guitar, but it's going slow for me... I want to learn so much more, but it's so difficult to give it enough attention between work, school, church and sleeping. I mean really. Life is too crazy. But that's alright.

I'll live for the next worship session, the next hangout with friends, the next cuddle with Melissa, the next lazy Sunday where I just want to run away with everyone to the beach or something, yet everyone has their own plans, the next movie with Melissa... oh well...

^_^X;; off to dreamland... for it's off o work in 8 hours.

My favorite Moments in Star Trek.

- Any time McCoy opened his mouth. Karl Urban's face is so epic and so perfect for the role.

- SPACE DIVING. The ultimate falling experience. The guy who died releasing his chute late died an extreme (pointless) but extremely awesome death.

- "FIRE EVERYTHING!!" I was kinda confused as to why the ship only had about 20 missiles? but whatevs. I guess he'd been generous with them. And it was just a mining vessel originally.

- Chekov. Enough said.

- Vulcan Nerve Pinch. DON'T PINCH ME, BRO!! DOON'T!!1

- The special effects were terrific. Being an audio/visual-phile, I can guarantee you I'm seeing this again and purchasing it no questions asked.

Gah my head is racing, but there's so many more. I'll post again when I see the movie again Muahaha.

Top Model Season Finale

I know nobody reads this, and I bet this will be the first blog entry that people will see. The one of me commenting on top model.

Anywho. Season 12 didn't start out too exciting for me. I started season 11 a few episodes in so I didn't know how the first section of the show goes.

That being said, I watched the season finale of season 12 tonight.... and it ended sadly for me....

For some reason, I always fall in love with the perky or shy cute blonde girls. So naturally I was rooting for Allison this series.

Even though I was rooting for Celia for the longest time. She was so diverse and multi-faceted, I think she got cut way before Aminat should have been cut. The one face wonder. WHICH by the way the judges didn't seem to care about. They kept ragging on Allison about her one face shots, yet after they would always say "I love this shot". If her one face works, then deal with it!!

Anyways.... I really think it was lame. The bottom three were Teyona, Aminat and Allison. Poor Allison was left to fend for herself while Teyona and Aminat were buddies. Luckily, due to the double elimination in the final episode, she didn't have to be all on her own against 2 for long. They finally cut Aminat. Which I was waiting for the entire season!! Her face was just so blah, it's like she had no neurons sending messages to the muscles in her face to tell it to do something!!

I do think that it's totally awesome that Allison made it as far as she did!! She started out so shy and timid!! Her walk was so wonky, and when she said nothing, your mind had no where to go except into her entrancing black hole eyes and you get scared and blame it on her, haha.

But by the end of this season she had grown so much! Just when you thought she would go under she steps out and gives a fierce face, gives a playful pose, and gets a little fire in her engine!! The judges start to see a model begin to bloom.

However.... at the final judging... they decided to choose Teyona... First they broke my heart with Sam in cycle 11, and now with Allison.... *sigh*... it's okay....

But I don't understand this:

Teyona, is a model who started out shakey and lost, gets a little better and then has a breakdown in the last episode, as well as a bad runway walk!

Then there's Allison, a girl who started out so far from what you'd envision as a Top Model. Then towards the middle/end of the season she finds herself and starts to grow by leaps and bounds! She takes what's thrown at her and improves, when Teyona has barely had any growth! She's so stoic when exposed to panel... it's like she's so introverted she can't grow...

And yet they choose Teyona!... gah!!

Oh well.... I guess there's always next season, but it was fun!!

...I miss Sam...

-- kATY pERRY --

Not everyone knows she's a pk (Pastor's Kid) and her first album was titled "Katy Hudson"

Imagine if you will that voices were Power Rangers. Well with the powers of Shakira, a little Mandesa and a little Francesca Battistelli, you'll get 'katy hudson' haha...

It is a very different style! I still find her voice intriguing though. I don't mind admitting I like her new sound better though >.> even if she is singing about things that make her seem crass, heh...

From what I've seen, I'm beginning to think PK's are most of the time very intriguing and attractive >.>

People are weird.

YEAH I KNOW SHUT UP IT'S BEEN FOREVER!!!



yeah... no one's reading this.....



CVS! It's where I work! My stories, let me tell you them!



Look out for:



- Return Lady.

- She's not just any lady. She's a lady who does in purchase returns. For some reason, she thought she had 100 dollars on her for all this makeup and gummy worms and cups and shampoo and laxative and tampons and one bra and 24 pieces of crap that were on the discount shelf that she'll probably never use and it turns out she only has $40. So she says, "Take off that, and that and that and that and that. I only want that." Good thing you got that shampoo lady.



- Weird hair lady.

- What's that on her head? Noooo it's not a poodle. It's not what you swept under the rug, it's HER HAIR! with RANDOM CLIPS IN IT WTF ARE THOSE CLIPS EVEN DOING? I'm a guy and I know that's not where they're supposed to be.



- Money Thrower

- Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I'm in a cheap strip hall. So why are you throwing your money out of your wallet/purse onto the table like I am. Oh, you want me to pick that up and uncrumple it all?? You sure you don't want me to bend over or something so you can stuff it down a belt or shirt or something? Maybe if you took those million recipts out you wouldn't have to complain to me about how you have no room.

- Old ladies who compliment my bleached flat ironed hair.

- I don't know if it's just what girls do or what, but a passing compliment is fine. Mentioning twice is fine. When you do it three times in a row.... are you expecting me to say, "Yeah, I didn't know if I was going to like it at first, I thought, "too cliche?, nooo..." and then I looked in the mirror and was all, "Oh, the world can eat it's heart out, I'm going to be fabulous anyway. Here's my stylist's number."

- 8 A.M. $100 bill people

- Look. I know you got this at the bank. And I also know that ATM's usually give out 20's. So why did you get 100. Couldn't you break it where you were? no. You had to come to me at 8 AM as my like 3rd customer and have 100 when my drop box is dry. WHYYYY

- People who forget your wallet.

- Okay. Listen. That's fine if you forget. Just don't wait till I ring up 50 things, then run out to your car. Like, realize when you come up or something. Pat your pocket. Something.

>.>.... that's it. for now.
