Saturday was good

Saturday was a good but exhausting day. Started the day of with breakfast at Mongomerys as usual. Then the plan was for Alycia to cut my hair after breakfast but she got sick the previous night so that didn't happen. Well after breakfast Ryan and I pretty much ended up baby sitting Zach(hyperactive kid) while the Montgomerys took a visiting Mexican medical student to the airport. Zach was quite entertaining, one of the first things he tried to do was spray us with a hose under the guise of giving Scout a bath, but I knew better hehe. After playing around with the hose and final spraying him with it he decided that wasn't fun any more. So we shot some hoops for about 5 minutes before he got bored with that and guess what he did, he ran around to the hose and was hiding in the bushes with the hose waiting to spray one of us but I told him I know all about those kind of tricks so he gave up. Some point after that he started to climb on the rock wall the Mongomerys have in the entrance way to the front door and Zach knows he is not allowed to do that so I got out the hose and it took getting rained on several times before he gave that up, hehe I win again. We finally settled on play baseball for about an hour and half. Which surprised Ryan and I that he did one activity for so long. I don't know what time it was but a few of the people going on a trip to Kenya this summer came over and joined in on the baseball fun so we had a few more then three people taking turns batting, pitching and fielding. It sure felt good to swing a bat again. We played baseball till the rest of the Kenya group was there and then they started making cookies and brownies for a bake sale so I was helping them package them and we did that till about 1 am when we had to leave to get back to the dorms. So it was a very long and tiring day but also very fun and I got to hang out with some people I don't really know very well which was a bonus. Well I am still tired from such a busy weekend that I will go to bed now. Semper Fi

Donkeys Owned my cake

The donkeys ate my cake!!!! hehe boy was it tasty.

13th Warrior

Good movie it is, watching it makes me wish my enemy was a physical being and that my fight with him was a phyiscal fight and not this spiritual war that goes on inside me. It would make things a lot easier for me but God never promised that being a Christian was easy. To borrow from the Marines, "Pain is weakness leaving the body." and I know that when ever I go through the fire I come out stronger and smarter and I know that anything I go through will never be more then I can handle as this has been promised by Christ (1Cor 10:13) and this gives me great confidence. Semper Fi

Tonight was lots of fun

We had a birthday party for Caleb at the Montgomery's tonight and it was a lot of fun. We played Cranium and there is this one category where you have to draw the picture with your eyes closed, which made for some very interesting drawings, more like scribbles, and I was the man when it can to this, my team was awesome at guessing what I drew, even though most of the time they just looked like scribbles and what was even better was the reaction from all the other people when the saw what I had drawn, it was hilarious.

I got my Perl exam back today and man did I bomb it with a 62%, but on the bright side the average for that test was a 68% hehe. On a better note today I started running again and going to the gym. I was surprised I was able to run a half-mile today with out stopping wahoo. I did pretty good in the gym and was able to start out with some good weight, but I am feeling pretty stiff already, a nice back rub would be nice tomorrow after breakfast :) hehe. Well I am beat after such a busy day so God bless. Semper Fi

Cake makes me happy

Alycia made me this tasty cake for valentines day. mmmmm tasty. It made my day. Thanks Alycia.

More on my journey

My God, My God why have you forsaken me. During my journey through the shadowlands I felt very much like that and it was a very disturbing feeling and one I don't care to ever feel again. It felt like God no longer cared about me and it was really hard to feel much joy in anything. I read Psalm 139 today and it reminded me that God does know everything about me and what I am doing at any given moment and that is a very comforting thought. Semper Fi

BADF00D = 195948557

Well it does :P Being a geek is great you get to learn all sorts of things that make you seem and sound really smart to the average Joe :) Its so much fun learning funny acronyms like POTS and learning to do hex and binary math is quite fun as well. Wow can't you tell I'm a geek hehe

Insight: The only thing I love more then programming is charging around on a horse in the woods or in a field. I love being outdoors whether its camping, hiking or hunting, which I haven't gotten to do in awhile and that makes me sad :(

Bible study was quite good tonight and the food was tasty as usual. Other then that not much has been going on other then shcool. Well I need some sleep even though I am not really to tired. Semper Fi

Patriots Win

Saturday Luke and I pretty much stayed at Montgomery's all day and even did our laundry there. I worked on their computers some and got all their documents copied over to their new computer as well. Sunday we went to church as usual and Luke and I helped with communion for the second Sunday in a row. About 4:30 I went to a club function with Alycia where we where going to play flag football but that didn't happend so we went back to the dorm and played some games till about 5:30 then went to the super bowl party where we stayed till about 10:30 and that was my day. Now for some geek fun.

if(you <= STUPID)
{
slap(you);
}

Gotta love the geek :) Semper Fi

SpongeBob Rocks

I saw the Sponge Bob movie tonight and the last 30mins is a must see it was so funny it cracked me up. I also saw The Incredibles it had some funny parts and was over all a good movie. Seminar was pretty boring this morning as it was on usability engineering which should be common sense for any software engineer but people these days certainly seem to be lacking in that department, so maybe someone got something out of it as I sure didn't. Mmmm breakfast tomorrow boy am I looking forward to that. Random mostly unknown fact about me: My right big toe is smaller then my left big toe. This piece of mostly worthless information has been brought to by the letter "bob" and the number dead. Good day.

Adopt a Sniper

I just found this neat organization called Adopt a Sniper and they help our snipers get better equipment. I have a lot of respect for snipers and the job they do is one of the most difficult but also one of the most beneficial to the troops around them. It is also the path I would pursue if I end up in the military as I have been gifted with the abilities a sniper needs. Those of you who can donate please do, it will help keep our snipers up to date with the latest equipment. Continue to keep our troops in your prayers. Well I really need to go to bed now since I have my stupid seminar at 7 am boooo poop on that :P

For those that may wonder why I end most of my posts with Semper Fi here is the definition and what it means to me. Semper Fi is Latin for always faithful. Faithful to God, Country, Family and Friends. So there you have it. Good night God Bless and as always Semper Fi

What talents has God given you?

Today at Bible study we where talking about what kinds of talents God has given us and that got me thinking on the talents and gifts he has given me. I have a natural ability to lead when needed and to follow when needed. I have all ways been good at bridging gaps between social groups like jocks, nerds/geeks and various other groups by adapting to each group in a strange kind of way, its hard to explain I guess. God has also blessed me with an understanding of technological things and a very good ability to fix almost anything. I have also been gifted with athletic ability as well. Well those are most of the talents I am aware of. Wont you share yours?

The President gave his State of the Union address today and what parts I heard where really good. At one point he started talking about our soldiers that have given their lives for the protection of our country and for the freedom of the Iraqi people. He mentioned that there was a mom and dad in the audience that had lost their son recently in Iraq and the whole audience gave them a standing ovation. There was an Iraqi woman in front of them and she turned around and gave the mom a big hug, that almost brought a tear to my eye. The President looked like he was about to shed a tear as well, it was beautiful. Continue to pray for our troops and for the Iraqi people. God Bless America. Semper Fi

Today was uneventful

Today was really uneventful. I got up and went to chapel then to bible class for our first test which turned out to be a lot easier then anticipated which was good because I study all of five mins for it. I was going to try and write something creative/funny but I am to tired to try so good night.
