I have glasses once again...

...and since I've been wearing contacts so long it's causing:

a) distortion
b) "lagged" images
c) disorientation
d) dizziness

YAY!

Whoa, I just woke up!

This morning I awoke with excruciating stomach pains at right about 5:00am. I've been wanting to get up really early for awhile, but I think it finally took some severe action by God to wake me at that unseemly hour. However, now I am quite awake and actually all ready for work. I have about a half-hour before I should consider heading that way, but I'm definitely up.

I really hope my glasses decide to come in today - my contacts are getting past bothersome and into annoying territory. I've got this strange feeling that today is gonna be one of those really great days for some unknown reason. I'm sure whatever that reason in will be revealed to me in due time or throughout the course of the day. Some matters have begun to get heavier on my mind very, very recently so I'm wondering how those matters are going to turn out today. Things, in general, are happening more rapidly than I first anticipated. That's kinda good when you expected to have to wait - but if you don't need to be built up on patience right now, and things are coming rapidly, one starts to wonder where he'll be built up this time. It's exciting but also confusing.

The Lord our God has made a glorious day for us all - rejoice and be glad!

Three day weekends go down smooth.

So, I had a pretty awesome weekend. I feel like I did a lot and really didn't waste any time. Even when I was up really late making tea, I used it wisely by studing a large part of Ephesians. I'm pretty used to wasting time, so it was good to use it well for once.

I just had a really full weekend, and appreciated it. Most of the weekend, it felt like, I was hanging out with Ashley and Korryn. Part of me feels kinda weird for hanging out with the women most of the time. Then again, it was a lot of fun. As strange as it sounds, part of me feels weird about it because of the fact that I don't feel weird about it. Nevertheless, I'll just run with it.

Now, I'm back at work, doing the same old work thing. It's not that bad really, just kinda boring and the same thing over and over. I think I liked the 'work' at the Gas Station more, but the people ruined it. While here, the people make it better and the work ruins it. Kinda funny really.

Back to the weekend, because I digress.

Saturday I woke up pretty early and staggered around for a few hours, as per the norm. At about 1pm I met up with Korryn and Ashley to have lunch. Then soon afterward they came over to my house and played the Wii while I was brewing tea for Sunday. 3 hours and 3 1/2 gallons later we left to a barbeque and hung out there until about 9pm or so when we ran out to see Indiana Jones - picking up Barry in the transit. Long story short, I got home about 1am and stayed up brewing tea until 5am.

Sunday I staggered out of bed in much the same manner about 11:30am. I was pretty much in a stupor, trying to get ready for the wedding that day at the same time. I then went to Pablo and Erica's wedding (losing one gallon of unsweetened tea into the trunk of my car, oi!). That was pretty awesome too. Then we hung out in the park and ate and sang and just enjoyed time. I had an enjoyable conversation with Melinda as well. Afterward I had planned to meet with Ashley over at the Douce house again and we had our meeting. THEN we went to see Prince Caspian, lol. Got home at 1am, crashed out at 2am.

Monday Ashley, Korryn, Gina, Lydia, and I all had breakfast at Country Kitchen. That was totally awesome by the way. Then I went over to their house and watched Die Hard while resting off the meal. Soon after, 3pm, I went over and picked up Emad and I let him drive my car around (I was with him, so it was cool). And I sucked it up when he wanted to go shopping. I don't like no shoppin'. Haha, I just wanted to get in and get out. It was good hanging out and talking with him though. He's a cool guy for sure. Then I got home about 6ish...and I watched another movie.

So then I took Gina's dog, Henry, for a walk. That was a good time and I think Henry really enjoyed it...he kept almost choking himself on the leash because he wanted to move around so fast. I felt kinda sorry for him, but he was doing it to himself. That dog is bigger and stronger than me, and basically he takes me for walks now.

Any deep thoughts this weekend? I had a few.
Most of them center on consideration of the impossible. I feel I need to consider and pray through situations I feel are impossible, because as long as I feel they are that way I limit what God is capable of as my faith will not reach beyond impossibility. There is one particular place, but I feel I need much more prayer into the topic first before any other consideration is made. Right now I'm in the thinking stage...not quite to the action stage yet.

I think that's it for now. Enjoy dear readers.

So I'm writing a story now

Check out the link to the right hand side (Thataway -->>>)

It's to another blog (which I had and didn't realize) and I'm now writing a story over there that is totally and completely unrelated to this blog.

Email address Brian, not User Name

I just reset my password cause I couldn't read the English language. Gooooo Me!

Sweet! I'm back to being Poo-! (Short for Poor, can't afford the 'r' yet)

So yeah. I messed up my money situation something fierce about 2 weeks ago. Finally it's all back to normal now. With the stimulus check that comes in somtime next week I should be up-and-over everything again and back on track.

I admit, I do not handle my money very well sometimes. I think this is a chance to get that responsibility back. I finally have my online banking working again (after like 3 years of it not working) so I should be able to be a money-Nazi and keep track of it all much better.

I also had a good late night conversation with a friend of mine last night. I really enjoyed that. I always enjoy getting to know someone better and learn new things about them. It was also really cool to be able to discuss some light philosophy. I guess I just enjoy seeing how people tick and what makes them the way they are. It was also a great learning experience.

I think I'll start a 'Things I learned today" note. My first one shall be this:

I learned today that medical insurance companies are now officially using the NPI# instead of the Tax ID# on claim forms - now claims are going to start denying like crazy! How exciting...

More to come...

First thought

I'm not going to introduce my thoughts or subject matter, I plan to just jump right in. So keep up, if at all possible.

Ok, so I was reading Ephesians the other day. It was yesterday. Anyway, I read a part where it's stated that Christ is there to reconsile and bring two peices into a whole. I need to look back at it, but it seemed to speak to me a little. I know we are asked to die to ourselves, and to be risen up again in new life, through Jesus, to be a partaker in God's great gift for us...but are we called to completely lose our old selves, or to simply lose the sinful nature of our lives previous?

It seems to be the latter as opposed to the former. There are parts of my nature, for one, that I try to fight. Sometimes it's that I'm a night person and not a morning person. No matter how hard I've tried, I just can't stick to a morning schedule. I just enjoy the night-life so much more. I think this is not a problem if I use Christ to meld this aspect of myself with the new aspects of my life. I'm by no means perfect, but I am learning so much.

I'll probably write a lot in a short period of time, but that's me getting used to this new blog-o-bloggy.

Now testing ctrl+P!!
