- Nov 14, 11So I haven't blogged in a while. I feel like I pin too much. I think I will post random videos and pictures I like on here now. I don't feel like I have much to say or write these days. Here is one for today.
- May 20, 11
I am so excited summer is here and the same time a little bit not. I am not in the way that I really have no plan on what I am going to do. The past two summers I have been working full time and part time and two different jobs. Now I am only working part time at one and will have so much free time. The only place I am going to is New York next week. I have no plans for what I will do there either, but I am sure it will be a lot of fun!
A few things I would like to accomplish with my free time can include: - Apr 02, 11
I don't have much to say other than I have moved into a new apartment with 3 of my good friends. Its usually busy over here, but I don't really mind it. I have been trying to figure out what to do with my free time lately. I feel like I have gotten less creative over the past year. I haven't really done any art projects and that makes me really sad. It's also spring outside and I can't wait to go out hiking and enjoy the warm weather!
This picture doesn't really have to do with anything other than it came up under the word Spring. - Mar 13, 11I have been listening to Kid Cuti a lot. I think he has a really cool style and his music sounds great. I usually don't like rap that much but his voice and music is so smooth. I blame this new music addiction to my friend Josh. He gave me the Man on the Moon CD right when he got back from Cali. He seems to be more of a coastal musician, but it doesn't mean his sounds go well here in the middle of nowhere. I also really enjoy the music videos he did for the song Pursuit of Happiness. Not only did he make one that is BA but two. If you get a chance watch them. Also pick up his CD if your a bit tired of all those indie jamz or all that metal.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z_Ys3BO_4Mhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xzU9Qqdqww
- Mar 07, 11seems like a distant memory of mine and today I found that my old account is still open. I also found a way to import those old postings into this blog so that all my posts can be kept in one place. However as I am reading some of these postings I am starting to debate whether or not I should keep them. I guess when I was 17 there was no spell check on the internet, and I ramble a lot about really stupid things. Well they are here for now and are kind of interesting to see how I have changed over the past 4 years.
- Feb 14, 11Might be one of my least favorite days out of the year. This morning as I sit and drink my coffee and attempt some homework before I go to work I sit and read blogs about love. I wonder about how our society has turned something that we can only learn from G-d and H-s example though Jesus, and turned it into some smaller empty emotion that can be expressed through chocolates and flowers. I'm not against people giving gifts or chocolates & flowers.What I am saying though is I think we have been putting a fake image in our minds like the picture above about what love looks like and not thinking of how it acts or can be perceived in real life. Most people know 1 Corinthians 13 yet rarely act it out in their lives. Also we search for a "soul mate" yet forget to treat our friends and family with love as we are on this search. After we get married they still will be there and want a part of our lives.Also I have been thinking about this idea of being content where G-d has placed us. We find often that the media and people around us seem to be saying that the grass is always greener somewhere else. I find that this idea has us wondering if it is true and takes us away from cherishing those who are in our lives now and the little quirks that make where we live so unique. I know that some relationships end but like seasons some might come back again or just go a separate way. In a somewhat round about conclusion I think we should move from the idea of love being the picture on the top and take some action like this person throwing away bad romance novels and go out and figure out what it means to us.

I don't really seem to write in here anymore. I have nothing fun to say or talk about. Not much that has been on my mind that I have come to terms with to write down on here. Right now school, ministry, work and figuring out the spaces in between consumes most of my time. I feel rather sleepy most of the time. Even when I just wake up from 12 hours of sleep I still feel sleepy. I think I am turning into ponyo. The little girl on the left.
In the movie she just wants to sleep all the time. I think thats my mindset right now. All I want to do is sleep, and eat a bowl of Lucky Charms. The latter is out of the question though since I am gluten intolerant. Well all I have to part with is this really funny and cute picture I found on flicker today: - Jan 05, 11

doesn't seem much different than it did yesterday, but I still have some high hopes for it. I started it similar to last year by eating seafood as my first meal for the year. I'm not sure what kind of first step or tone it sets to my lifestyle this year but I like it nonetheless. There isn't much left to say here right now. I guess that I will be posting more now that I have internet at my condo again, or I will just be lazy like I normally am and just read blogs.

for right now. School, work and ministry make me busy. Life is crazy and it's still hard to be still and let G-d do all the work around me and focus on bringing H-m glory. One cool thing I found today was a link to prayer requests we have at the church . Just thought I would share it.
Also I was thinking about one of my favorite books earlier today and it ended up being a random picture that came up when I was looking for something to put on this blog! If you haven't read it yet I suggest you read The Little Prince. (note Girl is not in book) - Jan 26, 11
and other related things are what I have been pondering about the past few weeks in class. There have been several guest speakers in my c lasses lately. One in particular said something that really caught my attention. He said that: "buildings designs are based on peoples value systems". This idea never crossed my mind before. I always thought about how a structure was made to protect a family or person, but not the concept of a building mirroring a whole value system of those who are contained inside.
So once again I went online and found pictures of buildings that may or may not reflect value systems and or society while some are real and others are not. No matter, they are still something fun to look at and think about.education to architecture?Eco Village in DenmarkTree in VancouverVertical agriculturerio de janeiro favelasCapsule towerRussian Cathedralsnowy cabin...Sahara DesertTree houseBoat house - Oct 22, 10I finally saw the film "Into the Wild", which is based on one of my favorite books. The main ideas that Christopher Mccandless had in his life and through his two year adventure that lead him to Alaska is quite inspiring and reminded me of everything I learned about the wild as a kid from my grandfather. Many of these ideas included taking care of and enjoying nature for its grand aesthetic value.I used to be reminded of nature and how to live in sync with it as I grew up in the mountains. I have been living in the city for almost a year and have already started to forget how neat it is to live up there. To see nature grow everyday through the plants and trees. Sometimes even through the animals that get comfortable around my house. I would always take that as a complement of my family living a peaceful life.I guess what I miss the most is waking up to see G-d's creation every day instead of what man has tried to make to keep G-d out of the picture. I mean I love the city and interacting with the people in it. I've also been thinking about a quote from a professor who said the other day that"the more contact people have with other people means more creativity"-Bruce Milne.This idea has been stuck in my head all week. While watching Chris in the movie tend to move away from society into the wild and run towards isolation, I found that his happiness started to fade. He started with the quote"You don't need human relationships to be happy, God has placed it all around us.", yet ended the film with the quote: "Happiness only real when shared". It was apparent that through this movie the quote that I have been pondering this week could be backed up to an extent.We do need to have others in our life to share our happiness and for it to be real. I also think that happiness is a great drive for us to be creative and show G-d's glory. We have so much happiness build up in us when we become saved through Jesus that it only becomes real when we share it with others. Not by going into isolation to be with G-d's environment H- created us to live in.

and I am still procrastinating on my studies for my midterm tomorrow like I was this time last week. The only difference is that I am sick this week and I have a study guide this time. I really wished to write some thoughts on here but the more I am pondering this the more I realize I should actually study and set a better example through all my work. Hopefully I will write again soon, and start using this more often.

Is a word I have been pondering for the past mile or so on my way home. I am currently on my way back from a leaders retreat. I just stayed the night but it feels like I have been gone for a week. We just passed a mile marker sign that says 50 miles to abq. Lately I have been thinling of being away but just now I got this excitement deep down to see that home is close. Not for the citie itself but to be close to my family and the people G-d has placed in my life that I have grown to love.I can't wait to be home soon.
- Oct 22, 10are my two options right now to do, yet I am refusing to participate in these activities. Right now I am looking again at flickr pictures.For sara I got this:Katie:Rain:This is definitely my new favorite photographer:Sara's Husband:Marcus and Brett if they were old ladies:See the similarities? I just love this!So I really don't have much to say right now. Everyone in the room I am in are singing along with the camp rock 2 movie. I don't know these words. I don't really like Nick Jonas. Not at all. Sara just hit me as I typed these words. I don't think she is very happy with this fact. However it is the truth.

or at least that is what I am attempting to do right now. I'm not very successful in this attempt since I have only gotten 1 out of the 3 homework assignments that need to be done by Tuesday. Chancho and I are looking at flickr pictures and this came up when we put in chancho:
Ninny or Austin came up as this:&Ice paw Kyle is this:Under this photo is says: "AAAARRRGGGG CHRISTMAS!"I think that these photos really capture the hearts and appearances of my friends sitting with me at this table. - Sep 08, 10is definitely something I really don't want to do right now. So instead I have decided to blog for a bit and work on some art. I ended up looking at pictures on the internet and found this. I think this encompasses right were I want to be right now. Lately I have been thinking about dropping everything that I have right now to go out and have an adventure. Tonight I realized that having an adventure might not be quite what I have in my head. I don't have to go out into the world to have fun, discover new things and make lasting memories. G-d has placed me right here right now for a specific purpose, and it doesn't directly affect me and my life. G-d has placed so many great people right here for me to learn from and get to see H-s face more clearly though all these conversations and mini adventures right here. Like I always do I have a selfish way to want to place myself in the center of my life which is where Jesus is supposed to be. Slowly but surely I am learning though. Which is better than going through this string of moments that make up my life and not growing closer to G-d to see H-s face.

- Aug 31, 10So I have recently discovered Jandek and his interesting devotion to the composition of music just as an art form. I haven't been able to track down much of his work so far, but I think it is a start to a new music phase for me right now. This guy was really interesting. He consistently composed 2 albums a year from about 1978 and sent his records and cds to record companies and music reviewers. It great to think that there are people so devoted to their art and don't get distracted by the glimmer of this world.
