The Sound of Music

Last night I was introduced to the central library.

I had no idea it existed.

Its huge. Super nice.

And it has its own coffee shop.

I was quick to get a library card and with haste, added my roommates to my card so they could experience the collection of books, cds and DVDs that this library had to offer.

I believe i’m more excited than both of them.

I checked out a book on the White House in honor of me visiting the White house in 2 weeks.

I also took the liberty to check out soundtracks from movies like the The Sound of Music.

Julie Andrew’s voice has been filling my car for the past 24hrs.

The State of the Union Address was tonight.

According the president, its important to talk to your doctor via video chat.

…..

There are more important issues and a lot of back handed deals that dont seem to be important, but as long as i get to video chat with my doc then life is just peachy.

Also…. Mr. President did say that any law or legislation that comes to his desk with earmarks will be immediately vetoed.

I’ll let you just ponder that a while.

On my way home from Chesapeake tonight, I thought I would be smart and take my own detour around the construction near my house.

With a phone on its last percentage of battery and my high beams on… I found myself lost in a strange and very dark neighborhood.

I was terribly lost and I was getting a little worried.

Luckily. My phone had just enought juice for me to see my location and where I needed to be. And within a minute, my phone died.

I used all the memory I could to muster up the map that was just before.

I drove, and then! I saw it, the Caviler hotel.

I was never more relieved.

So…. Here I am home.

Thank you Jesus.

The Steelers are in the Super bowl.

I want so bad to go to a steeler bar with a bunch of crazy people.

Would that not be fun?!

Life is good.

I’m thankful. =)

Now to lose 10lbs.

Thats my new goal.

Starting now.

I'm hungry

I hate church.

Let me just throw it out there.

I love the church body. I love my idea of church and how I have church.

However, I hate going to a building.

I'm not a big praise and worship person. I dont like being an audience member in a concert, that is supposed to somehow lead me into the presence of God. I dont understand it.

I'm not a fan of sermons. Ha.. how bad does this sound? Every sermon comes off the same to me. Nothing is meeting what my spiritual being is hungry for.

I feel like, if not all, sermons are geared toward the struggling christian. The christian that knows better, but chooses to be lazy, and chooses to make unwise decisions. I feel like the poor pastor, who has this infinite wisdom from God, is having to hold out on what he/she really has to offer, because the typical christian just isn't understanding this whole faith thing.

Do you know how many sermons I have heard on faith? Hope? Love? They are all the same. And its getting a bit old, and i'm at a point where I just want to move on.

I'm frustrated.

I haven't been to church in a good while. Maybe because the last church I was at burned me and since, i really dont care to go back.

But even before i was burned, i was still yearning for something that i could not find. I'm seeking. The verse, if you seek then you will find, is a reality to me right now. I have never been so spiritually hungry for so long. And everything that I read or hear, isnt satisfying me. I dont know what it is!

Today, I wanted to listen to a sermon. The sermon was 52min long. And me and my ADD didnt last very long. Mana from heaven. That is what the sermon was about. Sure, i have heard this sermon 200 times before in 200 different ways. And, it still struck me the same way. I get it. We need to get fed daily. Tell me once, i get.

Jesus. Tell me where to go from here. I'm starving.

I'm watching WWE Monday Night RAW. 

Currently, Randy Orton and Chris Jerhico have beef with JBL and Shawn Michaels. 

I really like Shawn Michaels. I honestly do. Everyone one else. Christ, Randy, JBL.... are a bunch of creepy lookin' men. Ha. 

JBL, when he fights, all his flab hangs over his speedo. The man needs to tone if he is going to wear a speedo  and leather boots. Every time i watch him, I laugh. 

Randy Orton reminds me of Randel from Monsters INC... Orton is creepy, His arms are to long for his body, and his tattoos ugly. 

Community Respect

Community living. Its crap. I can handle living with 5 girls in one room for a year and not have as many problems as I do living with 4 people who are related to me. Just because its family, doesn’t mean you have the right to take advantage of people’s stuff! 

I have a brother, Jordan, and he doesn’t know the meaning of no. He nags, he whines, he pouts. He gets angry if you touch his stuff or wake him up from a deep sleep. You wouldn’t guess he was 18 by the description I gave him. The boy is a pest when it comes to other peoples things. He thinks, just because we’re blood, he has the right to own anything that belongs to me. He’ll go through my draw, wears my t-shirts to bed, eats my food.

 I pay good money for food that I never get to taste. And why? Because my brother doesn’t know how to respect others living in the house. 

He doesn’t take the word “respect” seriously because we’re family, and family shouldn’t have to respect others things. Thats BS !

 I hate living with my family for this very reason: what is mine is yours and what is yours is mine. I hate it. I did not marry any of my family members. Marriage is becoming one with your spouse. I am not one with my brother! 

The time is here for me to move out on my own. Peace out.
