Eat your heart out (Edited to the max)

I went to see Relient K and Switchfoot Tuesday night. I'll let the pictures do the talking. They are in no specific order except that Relient K did play first.













In other news, I was really bored in math class so I drew up a couple of designs for my next line (yes, more than one) of Wii sights. i'll be kicking off a 5 some-odd part design blog series to get my creation blog juices flowing. To you techno savy people (I'm looking at you Kevin and Nathan) I will be needing some constant input. I'll explain it on my next post. Get ready for a Blog Extravaganza!

Edit:
So I got out of Archaeology class and I was walking to my car. Nothing spectacular really. The sun was going down and I was just toning everything out like I usually do because I just wanted to get home. I was just minding my own business when I see this guy lock his eyes on me and start walking towards me.

I thought "Oh great, he wants to talk to me about something, or give me something or whatever." I keep moving and he keeps coming with this big Ol' smile on his face now coming from my left. I finally stop and turn because I realized I would be a big jerk if I just walked right by that dude. I'm seriously glad I stopped.

I pull my headphones out just to see what he wants. I was admittedly a little irritated. He's still got the big smile on his face, but I realize he has some kind of disability so I was preparing myself for some sob story and for him to ask for a donation.

"What's up man" He says to me. I say hi to him and give him a nod. "Hey, I saw your shirt. It's pretty cool." I was wearing my "In God I trust" jacket. I say thanks because I always appreciate when people compliment me on the stuff that I wear like that. "You're a christian too? that's cool" I tell him ya again. He asks me where I go to church and stuff. He tells me he is a christian too and where he goes. He was clearly excited. So he says "Hey man, It's nice to meet you." He shakes my hand but then reverses his grip kind of like we were buddies already. "Keep up the good work man." He tells me as he pulls me in for a big hug and then walks off.

That's one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. This guy, this complete stranger who I have never seen before, comes up and talks to me like we knew each other. Not only that, he hugged me like I was one of his good friends. He does all of that and tells me to keep up the good work without even knowing who I was, or how I act, or what I do. That moved me. That's how we should be acting towards each other. I really saw God in him. Paul told some of the early church members to greet each other with a Holy kiss. I think that this is kind of what he was talking about.

Dude, Anberlin and Mae were so freaking sick! But nonetheless, I'm still jealous you got to see Relient K and Switchfoot.

That's definitely God at work there. Christian brothers and sisters in harmony.
