I miss my calling

2010-09-27T06:46:00.000-07:00

I did a web search on Sept. 9th, just to see what events had happened on the same day as when I was born. I found a nice wiki with all kinds of historical events here is the link if you are interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_9. Then I decided to see who else shared the same birth date as me, and I bumped on to this site: http://www.famouswhy.com/Born_Today/9/9.html There I found that there were 64 NFL players born on Sept 9th, and one though came crashing down on me " I miss my calling"

Armed Christian Vs Armed non-Christian

2010-07-12T07:21:00.000-07:00

My heart is conflicted about where I should stand on the issue, but If Jesus had come to this world armed, I would've not believe in his message of "LOVE", "PEACE" and "FORGIVENESS".

Karin: And all you ever do is TURN US DOWN!

Chris: Phooey! I seem to remember a time when we got like 10 lunch turn downs from you in a row, K Dog. I have nothing going for tomorrow’s lunch? Waddya say?

Luis: Well, what do you know… I just miss place my Phone… ahhh! Lol

Karin: I have to wash my hair.

Karin: Put an ad in the HartBeat. That works wonders.

Person who wants a "Wave" and the words "I Survived" Tattoo: Check Karin’s abyss of lost items at her desk. Yesterday I retrieved two books, a shirt, and several cd’s out of there.

Karin: I think of all of us, I have the least abyssmal desk. Coming from a guy with boxes, a spare bike, and a dying crown of thorns plant in his cube, your opinion carries little weight. And the CD comment is a lie!

Person who wants a "Wave" and the words "I Survived" Tattoo: Don’t get all Lyndsay on me!

Karin: No comment.

"Plagiarism" Story of the [Video Game Poem]

2007-12-19T06:54:00.000-08:00

Back in 1994 a game called "Final Fantasy VI" came out for the Super Nintendo System. I remember buy this game and playing it for hours. It was not an easy game, so I ended up reading the Guide and learning just about everything there was to know. I even memorize an "Opera". Yes, you got that right and "Opera".

Link to full Opera Script

Here is part of the Script:

So far away now.
Will I ever see your smile?
Love goes away, like night into day.
It's just a fading dream.

I'm the darkness, you're the stars.
Our love is brighter than the sun.
For eternity, for me there can be,
Only you, my chosen one...

Must I forget you? Our solemn promise?
Will autumn take the place of spring?
What shall I do? I'm lost without you.
Speak to me once more!

I never new I would ever again need this information, until a year later "1995". I wanted to tell my girlfriend how much she meant to me, So I "wrote" her a "Poem" and since all I did the year before was Play video games guess what? Yes...Yes, you got it.

I recited the part of the "Opera" you see above, She love it. :-) The relationship didn't last, but the memory of the "Video Game Poem" will last for ever. The End.

Here is a link to the actual video game scene.

I wish I could [edited]

2007-12-10T12:11:00.000-08:00

I wish I could tell her.
I wish I could tell her how I feel, but instead I hide.
I hide it all inside, afraid of the outcome. I just wait.
I wait for a sign that might not come and it troubles me.

In my mind, my thoughts are scrambled;
Pieces of a big puzzle are in front of me.
I don't have a clue as to where to start, so I pray.

Impatient, I receive no answer. Just silence.
Until - “When are you going to remain silent?’
Until - “When will my ears remain shut?”

Who knows.
I'm reminded of the past. To trust. To wait. And to have faith.
I wish I could tell her; I wish I could tell her how I feel, but instead I TRUST.

Thank you!

Tourniquet - The Hand Trembler lyrics

2007-11-13T08:17:00.000-08:00

Artist: Tourniquet

The Hand Trembler Lyrics

Is the God that I worship like an eight ball that says yes maybe or no?
Or like a ouija board that points the direction to go?

A family looks on forlorn and sad - the outcome will determine faithful or mad
Temperature soars to 107 - passing hands not yet ready for heaven
He sees himself floating somewhere overhead
A haunting apparition high above his bed
It's me, I think, but I seem to resemble the soul of a ghoul
The Hand Trembler walks out not a word did he say
Is his power for real though he failed today?
The family has scorned him - Hand Trembler denied.
The life of their son snuffed out as they cried
You left us in agony - your power is fake
Though we trusted in you, this answer we'll not take

Do you have the faith to let God be God - that is the question
Not a question of outcome but a question of trust
For he is truly God and we are but dust

There are things in this life we can never explain
On the wicked and the righteous fall sunshine and rain
I am not God, though at times I have tried
"You don't need him" - the deceiver has lied

< I like the lyrics to this song, I'm definitely asking myself the same question: >
"Do I have the faith to let God be God - that is the question
Not a question of outcome but a question of trust
For he is truly God and I'm but dust"

Guitar Hero III

2007-11-04T18:09:00.000-08:00

I've been waiting for this game to come out for a while now, I bought the first "Guitar Hero" game when it was release for the PS2; It was great, but when I hear that "Redoctane" was going to release a version on the Xbox 360 with a wireless AXE... I instantly new I was going to buy it. I've had the game for about 2 weeks now, and It is awesome. The music selection that comes with the game is incredible and the ability to download more song form Xbox live make the game a most have for all you out there who love "Rock".

Rock on!

Life "Storms"

2006-06-12T20:03:00.000-07:00

Anxiety, dread, doomed, misunderstood, loneliness, depression and fear. That's the closest I can get as to how I felt. A tropical storm called "Alberto" was passing through, making the day for the weather forecasters and the local news. There was also another kind storm passing through, a storm inside me, a storm of the soul, but this one didn't make it to the news. I was just there, stuck, right in the middle of it. I stepped out side the office and took a walk to clear my mind. I just need to make it to the end of the work day. That’s when I notice, that in the mist of the storm the birds were still singing. ;-)

I wonder what the Lord has planned and what is the purposes of the storm?

Libby said... how do you think pride and fear relate when talking about trusting God?

2006-06-06T08:01:00.000-07:00

Answerd to question on "IM Conversaton" Comment:

Well, I guess I think of it in relation to my own life and my relationships with others and God. Pride, in my life has kept me away from God, I guess I equate pride as been selfish and as an act rebellion. Pride was Lucifer's sin and Adam & Eve's sin. Pride in our life is something to be feared. Fear, in my life fear has become the walls of my castle. I've build a shelter out of it. As long as I stay inside I'm safe or at least I think I'm. I think the origin of this are broken relationships, broken trust. Trust, (Faith) is key in a Christian's life. It's crucial to building a relationship. Because of Pride and Fear we all have a hard time trusting God and others. I'm not saying that this are the only two things that are in between us and a fruitful relationship with others and God, but that is what I have seen in my life. I was not planning on having theological conversation on my blog, but hey! stuff happens.. lol

What's that smell?

2006-05-22T21:35:00.000-07:00

So while driving through an area of town my friend asked... What's that smell? is it "POT"? at that point I look at him with a blank stair, then he continues to say: Dude that is "POT" at that point I started to laugh. I have no idea as to how Marijuana smells like, all I know is that we where just driving through a nasty looking bay water that smells like fish... Maybe that is what "POT" smells like... I might have to find out some day. ;-)

Blah

2006-04-28T13:31:00.000-07:00

So, I'm in a "Blah". That's how one of my friends describes the mood I'm on. He says the word explains itself. What do you think? :-(

"Pills"

2006-04-21T13:29:00.000-07:00

I found this at my desk today, not sure who left them there, but if I ever need a pick me up, I'll pop in some pills.

"Linked"

2006-04-21T10:13:00.000-07:00

When I first started this blog, I intended for it to be anonymous. I wanted this to be a Sanctuary for my thoughts a place to vent, and not have to deal with the repercussions of what I might write, but I have been "Linked". I only reveal my identity to a few friends who had there own blogs. In there outburst of joy and desire to welcome me to the blog community, they decided to add my blog as a "LINK" on theirs. It didn't take long for people to find out it was me.

The myth of replacing friends

2006-04-18T07:43:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine thinks I have replace her, I disagree. I think, what she is trying to say is: "There is a increasing "GAP" between us". I still consider her a good friend even though we don't get to hang out as much. To my understanding, life comes to us all in stages, because we can't deal with it all at once. My current stage in live is affected by my surroundings. I live in a social setting were people (friends) are transitional, meaning: " They are movers". I have learn to live with this fact and I have adapted, to be able to cope with the "GAP". I don't replace friends, the "GAP" makes it possible for other friends to move in. What do you think?

2006-04-12T08:14:00.000-07:00

I think this is just plain funny, Hope you enjoy.
