The never-ending mind puzzle


I took this picture while driving. Doesn't it just makes you think? I remember reading an incredible book called "Boy meets Girls" last year, about relationships, different views on dating and other relationships. Makes me wonder where she is and what she's doing. Now it's no mystery that every guy ponders this, but it's just a question of how seriously they think, wish and hope to find the exact person for them. I mean, every time I tell myself that this person exists and is breathing and running around, I get all excited inside. Then comes the part where I remind myself that I probably don't even know her yet. Then I sit back and let that sink in. I guess what really hits me deep is when I'm in church and I'll see some very content looking couples sitting, listening and learning from pastor. It makes me say, "OK, 4 of my best friends are married. So uhh..." Right, I know that's crazy and it's the exception to the rule, but still it doesn't stop the empty feeling in my gut. God only knows when that sinking stomach syndrome will turn into a confident smile, or even start to disappear. So supposedly there are some single beautiful intelligent Christian girls still alive in this world. I can only find myself skeptical of that statement at this point in my life. Any ideas, suggestions? I mean, do I smell bad or something? Maybe I'm like a tiki torch, and these girls I seek are like mosquitoes which just never approach my area. OK that's a bad analogy, but you get what I'm saying. I'll maybe I'll switch deodorant to the Christian version of TAG. It seems to work in the commercials.

Waiting for Class to Start

So here I sit in the meaningless despair that is class. Actually, this is the tiny window of enjoyment I have between my 2 morning classes, where I can actually get some coffee and start my brain up. Don't get me wrong, Econ is EXCITING! But when you're running on 4 hours of sleep, it gets a little tougher. I almost fumbled my coffee this morning, that could have been bad. There is a guy in this class with a dell XPS. It's the 2nd generation. It's very nice. My desktop owns it. I hate BW ping time, however I got a job with the IT department so maybe something can be done about that. I start at 2:00 today. Gotta eat and go lift right after class. Get buff. Oh yeah. Look how disconnected my thoughts are, nothing is flowing this morning. I'm not even going to spell check this so you can see just how incredibly out of it I am. Bye.

Awkward

So here's the awkward moment of the day.

I was picking up some soda Giant Eagle to accompany our pizza and got in line in the 12 items or less station. I then noticed that the only item the girl in front of me had purchased was a pregnancy test. I avoided it, but I almost did a dumb and dumber. Just like, "So why you goin go the airport? Ya flying somewhere?" This almost escaped my mouth, "So! Whatcha been doin?"

Classes going as well as could be expected!


Well let me tell you, my schedule has never been so easy. Since leaving the conservatory, I really understand and appreciate the ease of a liberal arts major. Not that business subject matter is at all easy, but the schedule is. So i'm typing to you all from the newest introduction to my life, an iBook. Yes, it's true. I have succumbed to the dark side of the force. But there is mysterious power with this dark side, I WILL EVEN LEARN TO STOP PEOPLE FROM DYING!!!! Ok, sorry, episode II quote there. But seriously, this thing is an awesome asset for the classroom. Already in 2 classes i've typed 1000+ words of notes. I think that is pretty cool. Well enough for now, check back later! Here's my schedule.
