Well, it is less than 50 days until my vacation! Woo! It is also less than 30 days until I move, which is scary! Project Cleanup is going well, I am extremely happy about my progress so far. Part 3 of Phase I is this weekend. Then I have got to kick it up a notch.
How are you all doing? |

I am so glad that today is friday. You do not even know how happy I am. This has been the longest short week of all time. I am going to be posting some sermon notes from my backlog and maybe a poem or two very soon, and a couple of movie reviews. I am beginning PROJECT CLEANUP tomorrow. Basically, I am going to start the process of throwing my room away. Most of it, in fact. All of the magazines I have kept, all my clothes that are not goodwill worthy, all of the junk that i took from my parents house from my childhood that is no longer any good. I am rejecting my packrat nature, at least for a season, and getting rid of all this crap. Phase II of PROJECT CLEANUP is going to be CHERNOBYL which is code for the cleaning up of my bathroom. I promise, people, I hate filth and nastiness which makes it all the more unacceptable that I have let my bathroom arrive at the state it is in. I am throwing all of my bathroom stuff away when I move and buying all new stuff. This project is going to be my last one, after my room, because I am not looking forward to it. My MOZY is still going strong. I checked it last night, was down to just over 90GB to go. This is so exciting. Once it backs everything up, I can once again start adding to my music and picture collections. That is about it for me, folks. I hope you are all having good weeks. By the way, I had a great labor day holiday. |

Hey all!
I am not feeling great this week, this weekend was rough. Had the memorial service for the young man who died, i had a part in it, read a poem. I am glad that the family liked it, but it was.. rough.
I hope you are all having great weeks, now back to writing documentation. Hopefully can do a more in depth post later. |

Created another blog, thoughtriver. This is mainly for poetry, prose, essays, and rants. Some of it may be crossposted here, or I may just let you know when I post there. In any case, I wanted to let you know.
I am so glad today is Thursday. One day closer to Friday! Woo!

Let's see. Work has been crazy! I got promoted a couple years ago and since then I have absolutely loved my job. I am a very busy person, however, and sometimes when I get off work I just want to zone out and watch TV. I still work at the same company that I worked at all those years ago.
I am going to a different church now. I was a youth minister from 2005-2008 (roundabouts) at the church I grew up at. Great times! I really enjoyed it. I ended up burning out, though, and entering into a period of spiritual restlessness. I ended up not even attending church at all for several months, but I eventually made my way to Life Church, which I now attend on Saturday evenings.
My love life is non-existent. The relationship hiatus that you may recall I put myself into after the last debacle is no longer in effect, but I am happily single (no, really) now, at least 90% of the time, and although I am open to a relationship I am not actively looking for someone. I think that emotionally, I am doing better now than I have in forever.
I am running a D&D game again. hahaha ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) tek2way and mfsfreak and 4 other poor souls are once again adventuring through Caeln. I really enjoy it, although we will see if i have time to still run a game once...
I go back to school in the fall! I am super excited. It is just half-time night classes, but I did a lot of soul-searching and thinking and I am sure that this is the way to go for me. I am going after an AASIT (Associate in Applied Sciences in Information Technology) with a concentration in Intranetworking Technologies (CISCO). This means that not only will I get my degree, but I will be trained to pass the CCNA exam. Woo!
How are you all doing? I have truly missed you. I hope this long post convinces you of my return.

I have been looking back through my journal, so much drama happened here back in 2002-2003 its ridiculous! And many of you were here for me during that dark time. One of my greatest regrets is not keeping in close contact with you.
So, what do you say? Shall we resume our friendships together that have dimmed down to sparks?
I really would like to.
In any case, I love you all. I wish you all good things.

the door that opened, i now close
good night whispered to evening shadows
this age is ending, i leave
my steps taking me down new pathways
until we meet again
on some sundrenched shore
know that my prayer is life and love for you
peace upon your heart, and hope for your future
farewell, farewell |

let us take up a dirge, weep for the First Children
peer into the distant past, their fate displayed
loved of God, worshippers of the most high
their leader, archangel of heaven itself
majestic cityscapes, grand civilization
shall we hear whispers of the first seeds of rebellion?
Lucifer's siren call of Power and Freedom
although no bonds restrain, no lack exists
atop their skyscrapers they converse with angels
make plans to join highest revolt
can you begin to see a glimpse of their whole world
as one, following their leaders call
exchanging temples to YHVH
for worship of the son of the morning
drunk on the height of their civilization
high on the promised rulership of the universe
they reject the living God
who gave them all, they know not death
they had no sickness or pain
and yet they rebelled
to give all and be rejected
the Creator raged
Lucifer besieged heaven
Michael cast him down
the angels who promised
their deception exposed
cast down to earth
the earth watches, aghast
in sorrow God releases rain
a mighty flood to destroy all
every beloved creation
the first children rage
and then, are silent
towers fall, decay, and still the flood continues
immortal flesh made mortal
disembodied, first children float in raging
chaotic waters
their only company, the ones who deceived them
they cry out to God, he has turned away his head
they have chosen their path, and now they have
ETERNITY
to regret their choice
ages pass... then a hoary frost is breathed
from heaven down to earth
the world frozen, waters ceased to move
ages pass
and then
...
recreation. the first children wake from their stupor
see new life around them. for a moment, hope
but then, Adam.
their forms twisted with hate, regret, and rage
they cannot abide replacement
Hear the siren call of their deceiver
once again beckoning them to service
they failed to take heaven but
they could destroy the usurpers paradise
why should they be allowed the Fathers love?
why should the Earth be theirs?
empowered by the Fallen angels
another breed of fallen rises
raging against the second breed
forever hating, forever striving
to displace, disrupt, and destroy
their replacements in the eyes of God |

to find some peace
some solace
and yet...
the vistas painted in my imagination call to me,
my blood set boiling with Forever
frustration with my friends
irritation with myself
forgiving self has been my hardest thing to do
i am not worried because i am mad...
i am worried because i do not get mad anymore
i do not expect anything of most people
and thus am not disappointed
i find apathy gripping me from one side
while from the other, that Eternal landscape of the future
the truth of certainty calling out, piercing the reality of the bleakness of today
which way will I follow?
it seems to change each day.
every victory turns to stumble
which changes back to status quo
and then to victory again
who are the shadows that call out?
why do we make the choices we do?
the shadows of the first children fester with rage
their story must be told
though they will not love me for it, or even hate me less
ravings of a madman, or meanderings of a prophet.
follow me, and we will find out together. |

[Feb. 29th, 2008|03:43 pm] |
it blew my mind. It was magical, timeless, gorgeous, mystical, and full of wonder.
I loved it.
Lighting techs, however, should die in a fire (or at least learn to do their jobs) |
