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.

I am the Match

That lit the Valley nerf fire. Apparently, The Valley assassin game is going to be mentioned in the Valley news paper. I guess that means it's a big thing. I was going to post something deep too, but I am watching heroes at the same time and the epicness leading into next week's episode is too great. All I can say is I CALLED IT. We'll discuss this more in the comment section. Please direct the giddiness to the link at the bottom of the page. thank you.

Taking back what is mine

So, I was strolling through Borders bookstore the other day (one of my favorite places in the world) when I spied something that instantly depressed me to no bounds. It was Searching for God knows what by Donald (Jesus) Miller. I miss that book so very much. For those of you who don't know the tragic story surrounding my copy, I let Mike Dunbar borrow it at some Burn at the beach. I haven't seen it since. The worst part about it is that I never finished the book. How many years ago was that!? I remember reminding him a couple of times. One time, he told me he had bought his own copy. I have his aim screen name but I've only ever talked to him once. He hasn't answered my messages for the longest time now.

Enough is enough. I miss that book way too much to let it go. Not to mention it had a book mark in it that was of sentimental value. It's time to throw down.

Conversation with Boxsocialbonanza
Rurouni011: I want my book back

Rurouni011: It's been far too long. I miss Donald Miller.

Rurouni011: Do you even know who you're in debt to? I'm certain we'll be seeing each other very soon.

It's on. While I'm at it, does anyone know where Mike Dunbar lives/attends school? As you can see, a personal visit is in order. In related news, I never celebrated my 50th blog post. *confetti*. It's my 53rd now though. better late then never though right?

THIS IS SPARTA!

I think I can do one better. Somebody get me one of these, or better yet steal it and record yourself yelling "Madness!....I mean ..Stealing!? THIS IS SPARTA! " then kick a person into a randomly placed bottomless pit. That'd make my year.

In other news, I have managed to spread the Nerf assassin game to Valley. Muwahaha. Last time I checked they have 7 confirmed to play their own variant of the assassin game with more to come. Yours truly will be regulating the game (they don't see me everyday so they can't yell at me if something happens. HAW!) Heres to spreading a fire and possibly ticking off teachers. Hooray.

On a related topic, Guy's nerf night this saturday from 6-12. Prepare for the most brutal foam related ownage you will ever witness. Should be a good ol' time. nerf night at church sounds like a crazy idea too, but I have something to say to that...

MADNESS!? THIS IS DFCC!!!!!

Pumpkin carving (Edited)

So I decided to post the first two in a series of four different pumpkin carvings that I am doing this year. These two are Heroes related and were the only ones I could get done tonight because I'm pretty tired. So far, It's just the symbol and the eclipse. I tried my hand at pumpkin scraping for the first time on the eclipse so I need to do some fine tuning. What you see in the eclipse is not actually cut out. I'm sure you guys understand. EDIT:
So, I did end up carving another pumpkin but it didn't come out too well due to some complications so this is it...where real pumpkins are concerned. I did carve a famous scene from Scarface into a fake one which turned out ok. I'll probably do some touch ups on it next year. In any case, it was a pretty good year of carving.

I'm hoping to get the pictures of last night up soon so that I can put them up as well. Good times all the way.

The Bathroom debate

Everybody knows public bathrooms are the worst. They're dirty, smelly, and not to mention all of the vandalism. It seems like every stall has some crude joke or drug/drinking related comment. Well my friends, I think I found the weirdest that will top off any of those that you may have seen. Here it is:


"I have lived, Sir, a long time and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth -- that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without his aid? We have been assured, Sir, in the sacred writings that "except the Lord build they labor in vain that build it." I firmly believe this; and I also believe that without his concurring aid we shall succeed in this political building no better than the Builders of Babel: We shall be divided by our little partial local interests; our projects will be confounded, and we ourselves shall be become a reproach and a bye word down to future age. And what is worse, mankind may hereafter this unfortunate instance, despair of establishing Governments by Human Wisdom, and leave it to chance, war, and conquest." Benjamin Franklin, Constitutional convention, 1787.



It was basically the "religious debate stall" Now I was thinking of some things and I would like to hear some discussion going on here. Is Vandalism of a stall alright in this instance? Should we be going out of our way to scribble a whole long speech just like this on a bathroom stall? (It was high up on the wall so it rules out what you could possibly turn into some humor) Should we let little things like this for example, to slide and just stand up against the big "threats" or should we stand up to things like this too? Again, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. I think the discussion inclined shall enjoy it.
Ok, GO!

Sickness, more like suckness

So I've been sick for the past two days. Definitely terrible. I mean you do get to skip school but that sucks for 2 reasons. I have a crapload of notes to get, but Calstate fullerton made that a little bit easier for me. secondly, I got to sit around of view the plethora of terrible programming that spins through the tube almost all day long. The only way I survived was by watching my 24 dvds and waiting till my other favorite show came on. (I don't think I need to tell you guys what that is)

In any case, I plan on getting to school tomorrow, for those of you who care. You will most likely see me at the burn too. I really don't feel like contributing something unique or something that will make you think so I'll leave you all with Sickness=Suckness. goodnight.
