Hello, Hello!

It's been a while since I've written. hehe It's 4:53 in the morning right now. I just finished play poker. We played for about 4 hours. I lost 5 bucks. Everytime I got an awesome hand, someone would get one that is just a little bit better. haha. I'm too tired to get mad right now. And plus, UB owes me 10 bucks so he'll pay it. haha And the worst part is, I have a 5 page rough draft due tomorrow. hehe. It's not going to be too bad but I still have to do it and that sucks.

We have our Youth Rally tomorrow! I'm really excited! haha It's fun when all the Atl churches get together. It's like campmeeting except less people for a shorter time. =) I kinda wish we can have something like for all of Georgia-Cumberland Conference or even the Southern Union. We had stuff like this when I went to academy. All the Adventist high school's would choose some people and they'd get together for "Bible Retreat." Those were so fun! I like having stuff. I love meeting new people.

Oh yeah, I played poker with John, UB, and DP. Matthew wussed out and he didn't play. Earlier, Joe and Eunice were here too to practice for song service. I'm not really part of it except to type out the music but I sang with them. I really like singing. I"m pretty good at it I guess. Harmonizing is so much fun!

Haha. I don't know why (probably the lack of sleep) but I'm really in a GOOD mood.

Oh yeah, I don't know who reads this but whoever does, please, PLEASE pray for the youth rally. And please pray for me. I'm struggling with a lot of things and I'm too weak to fight it myself. I need your prayers to continue fighting. haha You don't want me to go over to the dark side do you? (Luke, I'm your father!)

Ahaha Ok I'm going to go now. Everyone have a great, God filled weekend!

It's kinda weird. I feel like I'm getting dumber intellectually but I feel like I'm getting a little wiser. Not a lot, just a little bit =) So I'll share one more thought tonight.

If you think about it, miscommunication is the dumbest thing. Not always, because it could happen but most of the the time, a problem that is caused by miscommunication can be so easily avoided! haha It's a lot easier to say then do but I don't know if anyone has noticed but I have become more blunt in my comments and conversations. This isn't so that I hurt you or anything. I'm just making sure there isn't a misunderstanding. But if anything I say offends you, tell me. I'll probably be hurt or something but I'll respect you for it and try to stop. I don't want you to not like me for something I might say that might hurt you unintentionally. I had something else to say about this topic but my stupid brain froze so I'm done with this.

Also, always try to look at any situation from all points of view. You might be right but then they might be right too. hehe Try to give people the benefit of the doubt. (God knows I'm trying to do that, with His help.)

Ok, I'm done. It's late and I become intellectual and philosophical at this time. I'll stop now. hehe bye

You know what? I like blogger. haha I can say whatever I want and people can't respond to it. haha Like on Xanga, people can comment and do all that lovely stuff but here, you can't say jack squat to me. haha. Ok I'm lame.

Man, my dad makes me mad. I had this revelation about anger and how there is really no need to get angry at anything unless someone is hurting their's or other's salvation right? (I hope people have noticed that I don't get angry as much anymore). Still, I do get angry and one of my main sources is my dad. argh!!!! haha I'm over it now and I'm happy.

This can be a good thing or a bad thing but I cannot stay angry for a long time. I can't really hold a grudge (except against Joe) And at first, that seems to be a good thing but if you look at me a little deeper, it's not a good thing. Me not being able to hold a grudge says something about my character. I'm not a passionate person. I might get a burst of emotion (ie anger or happiness) but then it fades really fast. I might get a good grade in something hard and I'll be happy for a minute and I'm pretty much normal. And if i get a bad grade on a test, I'm mad for a sec then I'm back to normal. hehe Even with girls. Me liking a girl for a long time is very, very rare. I think that's one reason my spiritual life is such a roller coaster. It's gotten a lot more stable in recent times but it's still a coaster. I'll say it used to be the de ja vu but now it's the scream machine. (for those of you who's never been to six flags over GA, they are rollercoasters with the deja vu being the best one, or in other words, the craziest)

Well, enough of my self reflections. WE GOT A NEW PUPPY!!! It is sosososo cute!!! haha I'm in love with it! It pooped in my car yesterday though but it's all good.

Oh and everyone needs to come see my new apartment. I finally fixed it up. Everyone is invited!!!

Man, this Sabbath was very short! I went to church had worship and then I went home after, slept then I came back to eat at church then I'm back at my apt. haha.

Well, it rained today. I really like it when it rains. I don't know why. It does give me this longing for something though.

Well, I'm really excited about tomorrow. Falcons football!!!!!!!!!! The best part is, it's in Atl and since it's sold out, it'll be on TV!!!! And Georgia won today!!!!!!!!!!!! and The Braves are playing too!!!! haha I need to study but Sports Day tomorrow!!!!

What I said in a post earlier is a little misleading. It actually is easy to know what I'm good at but it's hard to admit it, even to yourself because you don't want to think that you're conceited. haha now that 's right

I don't know who reads these but I have to say something about what happened today. A bunch of people from my church went to a concert tonight. Now please, if anyone from my church is reading this, I'm not trying to judge you or condemn you or anything like that in anyway. I know I sin and break the Sabbath all the time and stuff. The Bible does tell us to help each other out by pointing out a problem or sin we have. So my question is this, especially to the Carnies: is it ok to go to a concert while the sun is still up? Just think about it. And a note to everyone, if you see me doing something wrong on Sabbath or see me doing something wrong, please point it out to me because I know you aren't doing it to judge me but to help me.

To anyone who reads this, Atl youth rally is this coming weekend. Please pray for us and pray that it goes well!!!
