The BEGINNING!

Well, i have finally given up the fight against blogs. as violetly as i have fought.. ok, so ive been jealous of those of you who have these since the begining. but now i have a blog that i dont need to know all of that crazy computer lingo, and i am thankful for that. but there is only so much i can take when i cant comment on people's posts because i am not a "blogger". so much for producing my case as to why i am a flip-flopper on this topic. i actually was aked last nigt if i was into this whole bloggin thing, and answered an emphatic "No", and look at me today.

I was pretty happy with how things went last night. Rubbish went well, and i was glad to be able to talk about sutff i am passionate about. aka relationships and people in general. then again i am always glad to go and be around those people that build me up. thats the awesome thing about going to a church that has Christian private school kids who dont have all of the public school crap to deal with. Granted they have their own drama, but really, its nothing compared to this other stuff. Almost everyday i have to go to school with an open mind, unable to imagine some of the things that happened over the weekend, and lots of times i dont want to know. There really just isnt anything like being able to hang out with a group of people who have the same goals and aspirations as you do, and not have to worry about the activities that will go on when you guys are together. (Party For Two..? well you know what i meant)

Going to Rubbish is so crazy to think about for me. i mean the things we talk about in the groups we are in, its just crazy how God works sometimes. You are talking about personal items with people you may not usually talk to, then you tell them things you might struggle with while they do the same. but the greatest thing is being able to get opinions from people you wouldnt listen to, and they apply to you in a way that you can adopt their theology as your own, and everyone benefits! how does that work?

Here's to wondering whether itis worth it to me to go to our Royalty of Courts basketball gameon Friday, even though i didnt vote, and dont want to open myself up to such utter diappointment to have to watch T.P. play in my spot, all the while knowing how much I despise his soul. im aware that my attitude toward him is not Christ like, but i mean seriously.. its SOO hard. some of you have heard the stories and know what i am talking about.

Here's to not having to worry about college prep stuff this year! sorry to those seniors that have to do all the paperwork and stuff. roommates, dorms, classes, scholarships, acceptance, ... sorry, im sure you have enough on your minds to have to hear things from me.

Quote of the Day from Yogi Berra
"I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat, and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself?"

What a good philosphy to apply to one's life!

Well, it was just the first post, so things should get easier from here, hopefully soon i will have something good to talk about.
