Christmas/House Plans

Ahhh mere minutes before Christmas. It sprang upon me this year. There was no build up, no looking at lights, just school, intramurals, finals then BAM it's Christmas. I mean there were subtle hints and everything, but this Christmas season was so different for me. And let me just be honest for a minute.

For all the people out there who are saying, "Don't forget what Christmas is really about" and "We should go to more services because it is Christmas." Well i do understand that and I feel bad because usually, I'm the person those statements are directed towards. I'm the guy who loves the giving and receiving of earthly gifts, but not so much about the Christian meaning of

Christmas.

I'll admit that I do feel disgusted with myself at times for having everything I do. I am soooo blessed with family, friends, wealth, happiness, and what do I give back. Hardly a thing. It's pathetic. My spiritual life is definitely lacking and getting it where it has the potential to be has bothered me for years.

Wow I really went off on that, sorry. -Well on another note, this whole semester I've been picking up ideas of a house. I absolutely cannot wait until I own my own house and have money to fix it up. Well, today I started a blueprint. haha. yeah i know...interesting. It seems to be going well, I started out with an eeeenormous casa but have downsized to, well not a mansion anymore. haha. It's really a lot of fun, especially when you're bored. I might post some pics later if I do a blog just on my house once I finish my blueprint.






This should probably be all for now. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a great rest of the Holiday season.

The Boundary Between Alone Time and Togetherness

So the other day I had to go to the mall to get my parents some Christmas presents. I asked a couple of people if they wanted to go with me because I felt like someone should go with me or I was lame. Then I was thinking about it...I honestly think I like shopping by myself because then I can take my time. I can look at what I want to look at. The only part that sucks is when you need another opinion or just someone to talk to. But if you know how I shop then you know that I like to window shop. I love just going in stores and looking at things.

It's funny because one of my friends in McKenzie today was like, "hey do you want to go to jackson (where the mall is) with me so I don't feel stupid going by myself?" It made me think of the other day when I went shopping.

Oh an important side note, if you want a cheap pair of khaki pants or black pants, or any pants for that matter, DO NOT go to Men's Warehouse. They have great clothing at high prices. The guy that worked there was really nice though, he came and acted like a butler to me or something it was kind of cool. I think he could definitely tell that I had never shopped for that nice of clothes before. haha. But I ended up buying a pair of black pants, and when I got home I went suit shopping so now i'm gonna go return those 50$ black pants haha. I hope whoever reads this has a great Christmas.

American Idol or Vocal Cords that suck

Alright So I was wondering if I really had a decent voice or if it was just in my head. I resent the people that always sing loud and honestly do not know they are bad. It's one thing if you're bad and don't care, to me that's a great thing. If you sing and you don't know your bad well now i'm just pissed off. Just kidding :).

Anyway I just decided to record myself and listen to my actual voice. To be honest I'm kind of pissed off at myself. Haha that's right I fell into the "loud singer who sucks" category. I was surprised to hear how struggle mcstruggleson it sounded. Anway I hope you enjoy this. Make sure you listen to it all the way or else you will miss the end mini speech.

Another note, the video part of this, was just so you weren't just bored out of you're mind while covering your ears. it's really stupid, but hey it's better than nothing.

Want a mac mini?

http://www.macminis4free.com/default.aspx?r=996562

This one's easy, only one offer and 13 referrals. HELP me OUT.

Alright i believe all you have to do is complete one offer. the fastweb is the easiest i believe. all you do is give some background info and then you're done. No credit cards, nothing, maybe a little spam mail, but thats it. The stamps one is quite easy too. just sign up, then send it back before the trial date. it's that easy.

Sorry

Wow it's been a while, I apologize. The laziness is carrying over from my schoolwork to my blogs.

Today, as sad as it is, I quit my job. Actually it's not sad for me at all. In fact I'm quite relieved. I didn't even have to put in a two weeks notice. My boss didn't seem too upset either which I was happy for.

Alright so that's a short update. Here's what I really wanted to write about. Just think if you had stages in your life that you could stop everything else and just focus on one thing. You might think this is stupid, but I sometimes wish life could be like this. For example, say you wanted to get good at something: a sport, working out, read a good book, learn a new language, whatever it might be. You just stop everything else and get good at it. You would not have to worry about anything else, you could just play basketball non-stop...After writing that and reading it, I've changed my mind. I would get really bored really quickly. Oh well, basically what i'm trying to say is that I wish I could've known as a young child skills or lifestyles that I wanted in the future. Like soccer skills, basketball skills and to be in good physical condition.

Another thing that just came to my mind was a topic I was going to write about a few days ago but didn't remember it when it came time to write.

I am so thankful that I do not have real problems with my physical body.

There is a guy on my hall who dreamed of becoming a great basketball player, but he learned when he was 6 he had heart problems and all of his dreams went out the door. He cannot do any hard physical activity for extended periods of time. Also for the people that are less fortunate with their mental ability. I just have so much to be happy about, instead I complain about the people that are better than me.

Pretty stupid and selfish. Almost as stupid as this sign.
