Here I am, back to the drawing board. Another day that has slipped away from me because I was too lazy to get in to the shower. Wow, 4:00 in the afternoon and I just took a shower, shaved, and the only thing I can say that I have accomplished for today is that I have washed every piece of clothing I owned, and took my sister to have her car windows tinted. Other than those two things I’ve done absolutely nothing today. I mean, I did put all my clothes that I washed away, which includes: putting the shirts and pants on hangers, folding the shorts and putting those away, folding my socks and underwear and throwing them in my dresser. Oh, and if you were wondering, the reason you don’t see my dresser in the shaycam pics is because it’s in the closet :).

Yesterday I had some serious conversations. They were really good conversations, that needed to happen, but they were still serious. Sometimes you need a good serious conversation. It keeps you and your friends in check. You know something else, change is scary sometimes. Especially right now, I mean, everyone is moving away and it’s all nuts. No one wants to spend the little time they have left doing something they would regret. Everyone wants to spend enough time with everyone else before they leave for college and stuff. It’s not the same as it used to be when we were all in school. Back then (or a month ago) we could see everyone, every day. No hassles. Now, oh man, working around everyone’s schedules, and trying to make sure I see everyone and stuff, that can be stinkin’ hard. I guess my only advice to myself and to others is for us to realize that the only person we can control is us. So spend your time wisely. I don’t know if everyone will understand this, but I am just babbling like I always do.

uh.. on a different note, I need a haircut. And the other day I got this “Mach 3 Turbo” razor in the mail from Gillette, so I used that to shave today. Not bad. ok bye..

Things are ok. I work a lot. But I really enjoy it. I find that you just get in this “work mode” and you become callus to the sleep you are missing, or the time you could have just hanging out with friends or at your house. The last couple of days have been pretty rockin’. I got to watch the sunset from the top of a mountain with kira, you know, the one of kiracam. It was rad! There was a lake there, and we were just chilling on this tiny park bench. Way cool..

This evening, I spent my time at my Bible teacher’s house. We had a “praise and worship night” at his house and I was leading and playing guitar and stuff. It’s always a blessing.

Well, I’m tired. I’ve been for the past few days. I only work a couple of hours tomorrow, and I have the weekend off. So that should be pretty nice. I want to write a longer journal entry, but I really need to get to bed now. I have to get up in 5 hours. So, I’ll talk to you kids later. Thanks for coming. See yah..

The last few days I have been working the early shift. It’s been cool. I’ve been waking up at about 5:00AM and getting to work at 6:00 to serve “the regulars” and the commuter type people their caffeine for the day. Only, that’s not the coolest part. When I drive to work I drive on this road that kind of overlooks the valley that I live in. When I was driving on Monday morning I looked over and got to see the sunrise.. oh.. beautiful. I could of seriously died right there and felt a peace about everything. Cause when I was watching the sun come up, everything else just stopped… dead silence. I even shut my stereo off in my car. Just to see how wonderful and big it was. It’s been a while since I have been up to see it. But better yet, actually noticed it. Cause I wake up early for other things in the week, but never really took the chance to “feel” the sun rise. God is so amazing. The things he puts on this earth just to show us.. cause when I was watching that sun come up I was thinking “.. now, you can’t tell me there’s not a God..” It’s confirmation, that’ what it is. All that to say that it was really cool.

But that was yesterday. Today is a new day. I was sad because the clouds covered the lower section of the skyline so I couldn’t see my sun rise today. It’s ok, maybe tomorrow will be different. But after work my friend Jamie and I went and just drove to Northridge. Hung out at a couple malls, then drove to Valencia, got some Jamba Juice and then drove home on a windy mountain road with all the windows down in her new Jetta. It was so much fun, wish you kids could’ve joined us. We were just relaxing in that car. Hands soaring through the air outside the windows, hair flipping and flopping around.. Dave Matthews pumped up on the car stereo.. just, nice. But it wasn’t just the experience that made it so worth while.. it’s, well.. the friendship. Jamie is a good friend of mine. I have a lot of really good friends. If it wasn’t for them, these kinds of things wouldn’t be the same. So I guess what I’m trying to say is.. get yourself a friend. Someone that will challenge you and spur you on towards love. Thanks friends, you’re amazing.. bye now.

Did anyone read my last journal? Is anyone reading these anymore? Sign the guest book or something, let me know I’m not alone still!

Ok, so tonight, a bunch of my guy friends went out and lit stuff on fire. It was freakin’ cool. And we were all talking and were like, “..what is it about fire.. it will never not be cool for guys.. it doesn’t matter what age you are, or anything.. fire is always cool..” Yeah, with July 4th coming up this week, it’s really easy to find stuff that we can light on fire and watch sparkle or pop or whatever. Kinda sounds like a cereal? “.. Snap, Crackle, Pop..” or something like that. Remember those days? Yeah, those were the days alright. The joys of boyhood. No worries. No joke, I used to walk around in shorts with no underwear, no shoes, and no shirt. That lasted until I was about 5. Then I realized why underwear is important. Cause you don’t want to be the kid at school that doesn’t wear the under garments. You know what I’m saying?.. haha.. that’s really funny to me.

I have to work really early the next couple of days. From like 6-2 on Monday - Wednesday. Then 12-5 on July 4th. Which is really cool because I get time and a half for that. WOO HOO! Yeah, I need money. School is going to be expensive and I need to have a job to keep me going. I really suck at my job right now. But I guess it’s ok. I’m training still. You think that making coffee would be easy. Well, you’re right, but we don’t just make coffee. We make coffee drinks.. all this stuff.. I don’t even know. It’s nuts! But I need to go to bed. And I’m out..

I can’t really think right now. My mind is just racing and I can’t even explain why. I’ve already typed part of this journal and then backspaced it out. I’ve done it twice now. I can’t decide what I want to write about. I get this one chance every few days (or whenever I want to) to just sit down and tell anyone who visits my site what I am thinking and for once, I can’t. I guess I just have a lot of things on my mind.

One thing is the movie “Jerry Maguire.” I just got watching that movie with my parents. I’ve seen but they haven’ t so I decided to watch it again. It’s good and kind of sad at times, but it has a happy ending. But everyone knows the signature line in that movie.. “.. you.. complete.. me..” Wow, how the heck would you like to hear those words from your spouse or whoever? Who the freak wrote that? It’s so good. If you have any appreciation for writing, you can appreciate that.

So I just went out and sat in my band room for the past hour and sang music. I was kind of hoping to write a song.

I guess that’s all for now?.. I’m just as confused as you kids are. bye.
