Online Poll: Mac vs. PC

I want your opinion. I am going to buy a laptop and I don't know what type to get. Write me a quick post saying whether you like Macs or PC laptops better. This will influence my decision. Just don't get upset if I chose the opposite.

My mom has voted for a PC because she thinks Mac's are annoying and difficult to understand...your thoughts...

Thank God for my problems...

A few days ago Greg Delort came up to me and asked me how I'm doing. We were just passing in the hallway so I said the normal, 'doing fine' answer when he stopped and said, 'really, you're doing alright.' So we had a quick exchange of how my life was going and I told him some of my recent problems (dropping Doctrine, being sick, stressed from homework...which I NEVER am...and whatnot). Afterwards I got to thinking and realized that my real problems were pretty simple ones. I mean seriously what is homework stress and being sick, pretty surfacy.

I was really happy when I thought about this because it's been a long time since my issues were surfacy ones. The past semester was one of pain and brokenness. All of my problems were pretty serious ones that took a lot of time to cope through. But for the first time I realized that my most pressing problems are surfacy ones. It gave me a chance to really thank God. And I really did too, I sat down and thanked him earnestly for helping in whatever ways he did.

So I guess I'm thankful for surfacy problems. I thankful that my life is starting to settle itself. This way I'll be more prepared for what to do when the next tidal wave comes in.

If I tagged you, you helped me through this last semester. More than you probably know.
(not able to be tagged...Greg Delort and my mother and father)

Journalling down Memory Lane...

Today I went through some of my old journals. I got out some of the things I wrote during my first semester at MCC. I literally used the phrases "I'm ready to take on the world" and "I'm letting God take control of my life." Wow! Two extreme cases of the cliche, yikes.

Also I seem to only write in my journal when I'm at my lowest. If someone looked over my journals after I was dead and gone, they probably would think I was majorly depressed. Maybe I should start writing about the joyous times and the amazing moments.

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I just realized that it is now officially Valentines day. I feel loved. I should write that in my journal...

And Life gives a knock-out blow in the 4th round...

Talk about ironic. I just posted this morning about life being pretty easy and things being pretty boring. I will no longer jynx/doom myself like that again.

Previous statement/New True Statement

I am decently happy. I walk to school and it's wonderful/ I am now crippled because I rolled my ankle hardcore in practice today. I will not be able to walk to school for weeks.

I've been doing well in school. No procrastination for me!/ Because of my ankle, I did not go to my night class. I was delayed so much tonight that the paper that was due at 6:00pm is still being typed. It is now 8:00.

I've been having fun with my friend/ With my car in the shop and my ankle screwing up my walking ability I will not be able to spend quality time with friends tonight. By the way tonight is Lost, KU v KSU, UNC v Duke, and USA v Mexico in soccer. Dang it.

I have been given clarity/ OK, this one is still true. Life is clear, but it now sucks because I am a crippled moron. SUCK.


I was 100% right about life with a trick up its sleeve for round number 4. Life, you have definitely knocked me out for now, but I shall return...round 5 coming up...

15-Rounds with Life...

I have discovered that I only write a blog entry when I am either sad, depressed, inspired, or something has happened to me. The last few weeks have been relatively boring...meaning no blog entries.

I've been decently happy. I walk to school everyday and it's wonderful.

I've been doing well at school. No procrastination for me!

I've been having fun with my friends. Cameron, we need to watch the Office some more.

I've been given clarity. Life seems to fit together better.


But don't you worry my bloggarians. Life and I are in an epic 15-round title match. He got the first few rounds of this year, and lately I've been mounting a comback. But I have a feeling that life has been going southpaw on me when he's a natural righty.

Ding. Ding.
