I'm thankful for the hot summer.
I'm thankful for a monster laptop that has bad ventalition.
I'm thankful for a laptop shutting off constantly because of the hot summer.
I'm thankful it only shuts off when I'm playing games.
I'm thankful I can concentrate on school work now that I can't play games.
I'm thankful for all the work.
I'm thankful for all the group meetings.
I'm thankful that people are still willing to work with me.
I'm thankful I haven't killed anyone yet.
I'm thankful, that I can be thankful, because it's much more fun than being bitter.

Lots of meetings to work through,
Lots of different things I must do,
If it isn't marketting, it's OT
Stealing my time that is free
Yet although I feel the burden of stress
I'm still happy none the less,
It's not that I don't worry about my work
I guess you can call it a quirk,
Or perhaps it's just knowing my priorities,
Or perhaps the slacking in my qualities,
Yet every day I am reminded of God's grace,
of the people in my life I get to face,
That there's a reason for me to be in this place,
No matter how busy I am I can not waste,
The conversation and wisdom of those here,
Grades are nothing compared to the fear,
Of coming to school and acquiring only a grade,
For there is more from which we are made.

Let me just say that this is the hardest term yet. I'm not saying that in terms of content I mean in sheer amount of time it takes to get stuff done. Its' group meetings galore. Which is just time consuming. This coming Monday I have 2 cases due, 2 presentations, an assignment, and a midterm. Pretty absurd. I've never seen myself someone who can't make time, but I'm starting to run out.
Speaking of groups. I wonder what the best group is? They say you need someone to play devil's advocate. Who no one really gets a long with. And will be the first person voted out of the group. And yet they are the ones that push people to work harder and think outside the box. So really the group that isn't cohesive can do better? What role do you play? I think I play the devil's advocate sometimes. It's odd when sometimes you forget why you're arguing a point. Hmmmm.

This is usually a taboo subject because of the very wide spectrum on the topic. I see myself as a person in two lights. I'm personally conservative, as in the my tastes and the things that I enjoy and decide to do usually is along the conservative lines. Ie. I don't like drinking at all. Mostly because I don't like the taste and it's expensive. So it appears to be illogical to acquire a taste to something that's bad, not necessarily good for you, and is expensive. However, that's purely a personal preference. However, in the other light, I'm quite liberal in terms of acceptance of it in general of other people. It's not like I frown on people who drink.
Now, the reason I bring this up is because it seems to be a topic that has come up more and more. Although, I recognize that it's a culture issue, as in different cultures they tolerate different things. I think a line should be drawn somewhere just like any habit. Trust me, I enjoy seeing people have fun, and a lot of people have fun drinking. Clubbing is fun too. So where do you draw the line? Is it dangerous to draw a line in a the sand and realize that you've put people on the wrong side of it. Hmmmm....
I suppose I'd draw the line of drunkeness. Ahhh... seems simple! Afterall drunkenness causes you to lose the very gift that God gave you of choice. Since it robs you of your mind. However, then we have another issue.... what's considered drunkenness. Hmmm, good question? Another question, if someone is drunk... so what? How does that affect you? so where does that leave someone like me? Well, every choice has a consequence, and I'm in no position to judge. So therefore, if I see someone is drunk, I'll do my best to help them make choices when they lack of making good choices. And when they are sober again, well, I won't hold anything against them because really how does that help anyone. But, I definetly won't condone what they did either. Hence it seems I play both sides. However, I suppose leading by example is something, and believe it or not? You gotta let people live their own lives. We are responsible to someone but not for them. Ahhh every line is so narrow and every path seems uphill.

They are annoying, and incredibly time consuming and trying to coordinate having them is a pain. Yet, you're forced to do them and do them I shall. Now would you picture me as the type that sits back and coasts? Or do you picture me as the one who tries to lead? Or perhaps I'm that annoying person who just disagrees with whatever you guys want to do? Or maybe I'm the one who never shows up? Everyone has a role in a group? What kind of role do you guys play? I wonder if I'd work well with you.
Reading lots of fun blogs about CCSA softball. Hmmm it's odd, I don't really miss the game itself, I just miss the fun times with friends while we play the game. Yet, God puts us in situations for reasons and I can wait to see what mine is.
Prayer Request:
I wish I had someone here to teach me guitar.

Somehow when I picture the audience for my blog, I can see most of them being
lazy people at work. With nothing to do, where they just chat on e-mail, try to figure out a way to use Msn or whatever other IM program they can without IT catching them. They surf the web for things that they never would have if they weren't at work and check blogs. So here you are... reading this blog bored out of your mind. Hoping that something I say is remotely more interesting than the life your leading right now. Well no. I'm bored too. Bored yet busy. It's weird.
Why don't you guys at work start a webpage on something that interests you? I've done that at one of my jobs before, built the fellowship website full of testimonies, stories, graphics, cell group blurbs and etc. I've also read novels at work. Finished the entire HP series. I've came in 1st on the CCSA forums postings because of work. Lastly, I've read up on interesting topics such as sleep, dreams, health, tv show scripts (all the Gilmore girls episodes), news, and etc. So really even though at your work with no work, you still can do tons of stuff.
