Back to Back

On a night where we had to play 80 minutes of basketball in about 100 minutes, we end up victorious! This is my second basketball league in a row, and my second championship. The first game i blocked someone so bad that it bounced off his head and rolled out of bounce. I am thinking about playing in another basketball league starting at the end of february. It is at Santa Cruz Bible church. The fall league had 40 teams!!! Good night! Let's go buckets!

So it begins

Tonight Josh Larsen, Will Sawkins, and myself are playing some basketball. This is the play-offs, if we win @ 7:30pm tonight we play the winner of the 6:30pm game. Sound familiar Jon? The first game I played I scored 12 points, the second game I got zero. The third game I don’t remember, but we won in OT!! So as for tonight I need to get on the boards and help out my teammates. We are tied for the best record coming in, so we are favored to win the 1st game. Details tomorrow...

Saturdays

So Mr. Havens was in town and we all decided to go get some coffee. Seven of us met up at Starbucks by Home Depot, we had some great coversations, had a few laughs and decided to go over to Drew's house.
I have been to Drew's house before but never inside, just the driveway. When i walked in the front door, i realized that his house was the same exact floor plan as the house that i lived in for 20 years. It was so nastalgic, right when i walked i began to fantasize about my childood, Christmas mornings, dinner at the table, it was overwhelming.
So we picked up the whiffle balls, and the baseball bat, and walked over to vista park. We had overselves a 3 on 4 game. It was Jon, Ryan, and myself vs. Matt, Jeff, Drew, and Josh. I thought the teams were unfair at first, and i thought for sure we were going to lose. But after a 6-4 victory all preliminary underdog feeling went away. We beat 2 former good baseball players at their own game. I believe my 2 triples were the icing on the cake!

Sharks on the Power Play!!

November 7th I went to watch the Sharks beat the Wild 3-1. I did not go alone, I took a hottie with me, Marissa, my girl friend. She likes Sharks games and so do I, so everything is working out fine. As soon as we get to our seats Marissa says, "Wow, i have never sat this high before..." Needless to say we brought cotton balls to stop the bleeding.

It was a great game, we bought tickets off stubhub.com, great place to get tickets. We were able to park at a friends and walk to the Tank. Marissa knows the guy working the drink stand, so we got 2 free drinks. Grier, Thorton, and Marleau scored goals for the Sharks that game.
I bought the nachos for $5.25, not bad, but i wouldnt buy anything else there, too expensive. All in all, it was a great night, I want to go to more games. If you go to www.Sjsharks.com you buy Shark 3 game packs... I'm in are you?

Asset Conference

So I went to Minnesota for 4 days and attended the 10th annual Asset Conference. There were 1500 people there; I would say about 25% were youth, but for the most part the conference involved very interesting work-shops. The very first work-shop that I attended was my favorite:
It was about a High school that focused very much on there freshmen. This campus was dedicated to freshmen; they had a social worker and a psychologist all to themselves. There English, social studies, and science classes were all blocked, which means the same 30 people were all 3 classes together. Everyday the block teachers would get together and discuss there students, they would go through every name.
Another thing that they did was, send these kids on a retreat for 2 days in the middle of the year.
The best that they did was "I" Times. These were activities to explore the interpersonal student. They would dig deep into their thoughts, and these activities would allow them to express themselves without feeling uncomfortable.
All in all the conference was great! I got to go to the Mall of America, that place is ridiculous. It is the size of 4 nice malls put together. It has an amusement park in the middle, and an aquarium at the bottom. I could not imagine being there during Christmas!

Bridge School Benefit

So 10/21/06 was my first main stream concert that i have ever attended. Marissa bought my ticket for $45, and it was well worth it. We showed up at Shoreline at 2pm, but the show didn't start until 4pm. So we tailgated for 2 hours, we had peanuts, sandwiches and beer. So right at 4pm we walk in, and the place is packed!!! It was sold out. The First 2 bands were no names, literally, the first band didn't have a name when the show started. Then the band that i have been waiting to see for such a long time came on...
Death Cab followed by,
Foo Fighters,
Trent Reznor(lead singer of NIN),
Brian Wilson,
Pearl Jam,
Dave Matthews,
and of course the host Neil Young.
Some of the best parts of the concert for me were the intermissions... people were throwing torillas everytime a band was done. So we would catch them and try to hit a certain someone we were currently annoyed with. Phil and I spotted 2 different people that we were aiming for; one lady that was standing up the whole time wearing a vest with 2 beers in her hands. At one point while we were aiming at her and coming close with torillas, Phil actually hit her and we heard her say,"Are people aiming at me?" The other person that we singled out was a big heavy set bald guy, who was doing an annoying dance. I threw a corn torilla that flew that grazed his "teet," it was hilarious...
We didn't get up to leave Shoreline until 1am... 9hr concert. Brian Wilson's set was so good! He played so many oldies and great songs that it became a nostalgic event for myself. Foo Fighters were spectacular, they played all there great hits, starting off with "Everlong". Trent R. is amazing by the way, he played "Hurt," which is amazing. Great Concert all in all. I don't think i could have a better first time concert than this... Thanks M.

Do you believe in magic?

Well i hope you do...I have always been one of those people that has to see to believe. But after further research, I don't believe that anymore.
I have friends who say they have seen a ghost or believe that they have encountered some apparition of some sort. Over the last year or so I have begun to believe that magic is real. There are many magicians but David Blaine comes to mind. He can do tricks that no one can explain. Why? Because they might actually be real.
I recently took a class by Dr. Nystrom @ William Jessup University. It was a class on the Gospels and Jesus. It was an amazing class and i learned a lot. One of the ideas that was brought up in class was the fact Jesus made miracles. Now what was interesting to me was the what i heard next... There were also other people who could make miracles during the time of Jesus. But the miracles that they did were used for their own good and fame. Where as Jesus' Miracles were never for His own benefit.
I recently just watched "The Prestige." Great movie about magicians, go figure... Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, and Michael Caine made this movie incredible. Go see it!!! I guess I am still in that movie phase were I am not sure what reality is yet. Kind of like waking up from a very real dream.
Magic is out there, just don't be surprised by it, when its true.

Sunday Mornings

For some reason, in which i hope to explain in this post, I do not want to go to a church where someone sees me.
It seems as if people look down on me becasue i do not attend church every sunday. I am tired of people checking up on me, to see if I have been to "church," lately. I just want to walk into church and be invisible, so that no one can see me. I will go when i want to. Just because I am not at church doesnt mean i dont think about God or fellowship with my friends. I can worship God in my car on the way to work and get my "fill," there. By the way i hate that term.
I havent been to church on a sunday morning for quite a while, and I am extremely happy. Ever since i moved to Rocklin, i have had a jaded view of the church, which I am still trying to figure out if that is valid.
Lately it has bothered me that there are some people out there, that are so sheltered only know one way to Glorify God, and there way is the right way. I am trying to find a place where i dont see those people, they tend to bring me down quite a bit.

Fall 06'

Well as summer camp started to end, I knew that I was in need of a job. I heard of a job opening up for a teen director position. I applied, knowing it would be great to have a full time job and I could start to make some money at a job I thoroughly enjoyed.
After a couple interviews I got the job, well sort of. My title is Youth and Teen Coordinator. Great flexible hours and good pay.
I love my job and have a lot of responsibilities: Oversee teen center, m-f 3pm-8pm. Oversee noontime sports program at Allen elementary school and Almaden elementary school (soon to be Baldwin elementary school as well). I teach two classes at High schools, Pioneer and Broadway (continuation school). I teach life skills at Broadway and a volunteer program at Pioneer.
There are a few other things that I have to do, but for the most part it is really enjoyable. Next week I get to go to Minnesota, for an Asset Conference. Very Exciting!

Summer 06

So summer camp started. I was very nervous for this to start. I have never been a director before this summer, and I was in charge of 25 junior higher.

Typical week:
Monday work 6:30am - 9:00am meet parents and sign in kids. 9:00am - 10:00am play games and team builders with kids. 10:00am - 11:15am, walk to main street plaza and go to jamba, star bucks, or Albertsons. 12:00 - 3:30pm, walk to Cahalan Park and do nothing!!! 4:00pm - 6:00pm, check kids out and talk to parents about bad kids. 6:00 - 6:30pm, clean up and go home. 12 hours and no breaks!!
Tuesday 9:00am go to Blackberry Farms; 6:00pm go home.
Wednesday 9:00am go on big field trip (Great America, Raging Waters, San Francisco Zoo...) 6:00pm go home
Thursday 9:00am go swimming in Santa Clara or on site. 6:00 - 7:30pm weekly meeting
Friday 9:00am go to a park or go swimming; 6:00pm go home.
Sat and Sun. Call parents and program -3hrs. Total Hours worked a week? 50 - 54 average.
That’s why I was so busy this summer!!!
So before the summer started I had to go to a director's training at the Y. As soon as I walked in my eyes met with an extremely good looking girl. I knew right away that she was an interesting girl. So I sat down and looked right across the table and saw a girl that I went to Homecoming Dance with in 98! In was not a good time, it was my first dance and I think she liked me, but I didn’t have the same feelings. So the rest of the summer that was the joke in the camp, Tim and Roja...
A couple of weeks later all the directors and leaders had to go to training. Everybody who worked for the Y in the summer, in the Santa Clara County was there.
One session of training this beautiful girl Marissa, the same one I was telling you about, leans over and says, "So, are you cool to hang out this summer?" I knew exactly what she meant, hanging with the group of workers, going out to dinner with lots of people, etc... But I replied, "With just you?" She began to stutter and feel extremely uncomfortable, I said, "Just Kidding! Totally we all should hang out." I knew from that moment that she liked me, and that I was really interested in getting to know her more.
In the next few weeks, it was up and down about how I felt about her. I wasn’t sure if she had a boy friend or if she just liked wearing rings. A bunch of us went to the beach one Saturday and she and I were supposed to go together, but at the last minute when I was getting ready, my phone rang... before I looked at who it was I knew it was her (she had never called me before), While talking to her, she said that she was already at the beach and that I had to meet this really cool guy she knows... How does she know him, how well, are they dating, is she interested in me??? I instantly jumped to conclusions. So I thought that our flirting was over. I show up at the beach and she is sitting right next to some guy I don’t know!!! Come on!!! What luck, I finally meet some girl that is beautiful, not a bitch, fun, has a great smile, everything that I have ever wanted and she has a b/f. Well this sucks.
So after the beach we drive back to the Y and then we go to the Branham Lounge, all of us. So Marissa and Ryan (the other guy) are there and about 15 minutes into the night at the bar and I find out he has a g/f, that is not there!!! Hallelujah!!! So as the night went on, I was sitting next to Marissa and she and I were doing that almost touch things (It’s a great feeling). Finally she grabbed my hand and like they say... the rest is history...We had a few speed bumps to get through but now I am happier than I have ever been, happier than I have been with any girl ever!!!
PS - She can cook too!!!!

Spring of 06'

Well I moved out of Rocklin May 28th. Going back to April 13th, I decided that I wanted to move out of there. So I had three decisions: move home with my parents, move back to LA, or move back to San Jose. I ran through my head, trying to figure out who I could live with(I knew it had to be someone where I could have my own room! No more roommates!). So I gave my good friend Scott a call, he owns a house in San Jose. So I said to myself, if he doesn't have room I am going move to Southern California. I called him up and it just so happens that someone was moving out June 1st. Wow! So I took it. From April 13th - May 28th, were the longest six weeks of my life!!! But now I knew I was moving to San Jose, and that I didn't want to go back to school anytime soon, but I needed a job. So I was hanging out with my friends Brad and Cori one day and I over heard a conversation between Cori and old friend of mine Jessi Shute. Jessi worked for the YMCA and needed camp leaders and camp directors. I knew that I could get a job as a camp leader, but I wanted more money and felt I could be a Camp director. Needless to say I got the better job and eveything went great this last summer. Camp went from 6/21 - 8/19.
Right before Camp started I went on a cruise to Catalina and Mexico! My roommate graduated from San Jose State University and was able to bring someone on a cruise that his mom and grandma gave him for his graduation present. My next Blog will talk about Camp and one of the most beautiful girls that I have ever met.

I am Back...

And So are the Sharks!!! Woo Hoo!!! 1-0!!! Since my last post sent me into a dwindling spiral of never blogging, i thought this would be a good time to reinterate myself. To all of those people who read this... Jon, Brian, Drew... well to you 3 here i am. A quick update on the season, Joe Thorton already has 3 points, it looks really good.
I plan to start updating everyone on what i have been doing... Maybe in the next few posts you can enter the mind of Tim Davidson.
Things I miss: 1 ugly fan on my bed attempting to cool my room down, 1 ugly Jon (JK), Jon repeating everything i say in a high pitched voice, or guessing what i would say next in that voice.(I am trying to use it on my girl friend and she just pays no attention to it). Drinking a protien shake out of a blender with no shirt on, just so Jon can see me. Endless conversations about how awful we sleep and how much our room smells from out extremeties. Last thing is... HILLSIDE, but not the church, just the word. Well my hats off once again to you Jon, you get the center of attention in my blog, i know you are happy now.

San Jose Sharks

Well it was all over after game 3 of the series when the Sharks lost to the Oilers in 3OT. Since that game the Sharks looked really awful. After watching the Sharks lose 2-0 in Edmonton all I can say is that they looked really tired. They did not have the same energy that they did in games 1 and 2.
Sharks go 0-8 on the power play in game 6, and prolonged their losing streak in the Rexall Center.
The only bright spot for the Sharks was the goal tender, Vesa Toskala who stopped 24 of 26 shots to make the game interesting. There were times when and average goalie would of given up a few more goals in this game, but not Toskala.
The Sharks were so tired that even there home play by play announcer Drew Remenda sounded like he knew the Sharks were going to lose.
The Sharks played a great year and should look forward to next season, when they will be even better. I suspect the sharks trading Nabakov for a good veteran defensemen in the offseason.

Just My Luck

So its May 15th and today was the first time I have had any type of soda or fast food other than In and Out and Chick Fil-A, since December 15th.(5 months) I had taco bell on the way home from San Jose and I couldn't wait to open the wrappers and drink the Pepsi that I got. After the first bite, it was marvelous, but the second was about half as good, and the third about half as good as the second and so forth. I ended up not feeling too well after eating my favorite fast food of all time. Maybe it was the Pepsi, maybe it was the 7-layer Burrito...

last time I stopped eating fast food and drinking soda, things were starting to look up for me. Life is all about turning over new leafs and trying to change bad habits. Life is about working through struggles and trials that are put in your path. There is always going to be something that you have to deal with and work on.
As of May 15th, 2006, I plan to not eat anymore fast food except In and Out until December 15th.

I am not a superstitious kinda of guy, but I just went out and saw that new Lindsay Lohen movie, Life has to get better, now.

Welcome Back

So I went to San Jose for the weekend, I am almost ready to move up there. In about 2 weeks I will be moved. Friday night, I left my car in the South Valley Christian Church parking lot. I got a call from my friend Will, saying that my car was broken into. Just another mess to add to my already full plate of distractions.
They ended up stealing my ipod and breaking my passenger side car window, a total of around $550 of damage and stolen goods.
I got the Ipod for free, so it didn't mean too much to me, but breaking the window, at a church.... Trust No One

Dennys?

I recently just turned 25, and I have 8 really good friends that live in Southern California. For my birthday they sent me a check for $150. They gave me money instead of a gift, so that I could buy a plane ticket and visit them. So I flew in early Friday morning and was picked up by my friend Kellie. We then went to a restaurant called Flappy Jacks and a great breakfast with my other friends Melissa and Julie. Julie also brought her 2 week old baby, Joshua.
This was great for 2 reasons, it was the first time that I actually saw baby Joshua, and I wasn't even sure I was going to see Melissa the whole time I was there. After breakfast/lunch, I went over to Christine's house, where I was going to stay, and dropped off my stuff and said hello. Christine was going to work soon, so Julie, the baby and I went to her house.
I literally sat on the couch across from Julie and the baby for about 2 hours, just mezmorized by the baby's actions. I don't know what it was about the baby, but I couldn't take my eyes off of him. So baby Joshua's father, Joshua came home from work and was really good to see him. We ended up hanging out watching TV until we decided to go the Drive-Ins.
In the mean time we met up with my other friend Shaheen, picked him up and went to the Drive-ins. If you have ever been to Socal, you know will know what I am talking about when I say the "909," this is where the drive-ins are, and it was kinda ghetto, but not really. I didn't think I was going to get shot, just stabbed...
I sat outside in between Joshua and Shaheen, and Julie and the baby were in the car trying to stay warm. I dipped down into the 50s that evening and I did not have a jacket. So what I did in order to stay warm, was go Brokeback with my friend Shaheen and we shared a sleeping bag(don't repeat that!). We saw Mission Impossible 3 and loved every minute of it. I forgot to mention we went and brought food to the show, we stopped at La Tolteca. This is one of the best Mexican restaurants in Socal, its on Azusa Ave. in Azusa. I highly recommend it, it is so choice.
After the movie was over I got dropped off back at Christine's house, and waited for her to come home. She got home around 1130, and we decided to go in the Hot tub with her cousin Sandra. We must of sat there for 2 hours, had a few drinks and a few laughs, Great time.
The next day I woke up around 9:30am, after going to bed at 2:30am. For some reason the night before we got this crazy idea to go to Denny's at 8:30am, I was skeptical that it would happen, it was Sandra's idea, but I agreed even though I knew it wouldn't happen, it didn't so I texted Christine, who was sleeping in her parents camper that night with her cousin "Dennis." No response, they are still sleeping... 15 minutes later I hear some noise in the house and Christine says, "you still want to go?" So we did, but Sandra couldn't go because she had homework to do before work. Went to Dennis and I ordered what I always get when I go to Dennis... Moons over My Hammy! You cant beat that, it tastes good and its fun to say. After breakfast, I went home, changed and was picked up by Joshua around 1145am. We decided to go to Frank and Sons. This is a indoor flee market, that specializes in baseball cards, collectibles, comic books, Sports stuff, you name it! It was free to get in, so we went. It took us a while to find the place, but we got there. I walked up and down the aisles, I was looking at sports stuff mostly, Joshua was looking at knives and guns mainly, go figure. So we did this for over and hour, and by the end, we realized that this was not a happy place, it was a sad place, where people waste money on things that they are going to put on their shelves, there were old men who were playing a card game called, "Magic the Gathering," it just made me sad. Joshua said, "Thank God I played sports growing up." So we walked out and went back to the car and we went back to Joshua and Julie's place. When we got there Julie had some visitors, her father and a couple who hadn't seen the baby. I checked my email and was just listening to conversation until they departed. After hey left, Joshua and I played some Xbox, while Julie took a nap with the baby.
We a grueling game of Nascar Thunder 2003, it was intense!
We had made plans to go out to dinner at 7pm with Christine and Jasen to a place called, "A little Taste of Texas." Joshua dropped me off at Christine's house so I could get ready for dinner. When I got there Jasen and Christine were watching the Laker Game, it was game 7 of the first round of the play offs and the Lakers were getting killed. We left just before 7, so we could find this restaurant, right when we pulled up Joshua, Julie and the baby pulled up.
As we were getting out of the car, Jasen noticed he had a flat tire, so being Johnny on the Spot, he fixed it right then and there. I was trying to make references to "A Christmas Story" but no one go it.
We went in to A little Taste of Texas, and it was this huge building, about 60 yards or so long and 30 yards wide, it was big and wide open. It was covered with picnic tables, and had paper towel dispenser on the tables, in case you ordered ribs. It was really good food, I had a combo meal, One enchiladas, One Tamale, and One Taco , and beans and rice, and flour tortillas that were complementary. Food was great, I finished it all, and then Christine, Jasen and I went back to the house to change again... I know it sounds weird but we changed so we could Dancing, not just any dancing but Country Dancing. I put my boots on tight blue pants and was ready to go.
We got to "Montana's" the dancing place at 9:45pm, paid $5 to get in and had a great time. I hadn't been there for 9 month's or so, it brought back good memories. When we got there I saw some friends I knew, Paul and Jon, and another guy named Tim, who we hung out with most of the night.
I was a tad bit nervous because it had been so long since I either line-danced or coupled danced. So I didn't know how it was going to go. Around 10:45pm, Sandra and her friend Sara showed up, who I had met and hung out with before, and we had a Great Time! We had a few drinks, we had a few laughs. Christine and I went out to do the Cowboy Cha-Cha, which is my favorite dance, and everything came back. It was like I never left the dance floor. We did some line dancing too, and that came back as well, I sometimes pride myself on my dancing skills, its lame I know.
We stayed until 1:30am, laughing and dancing. It was the best.
Woke up around 9:45am Sunday morning, got dressed, watched sportscenter, and waited to be picked up for church, by Joshua and Julie, we got to church, this was a church that I formerly worked at and attended for 2 and a half years.
I saw so many people that I hadn't seen in a long time, it brought back good memories and made me feel good inside. After the service, they had pizza for everyone. Joshua and Julie left to go to a funeral, so I stayed a hung out with my friend Craig. We left the church around 1:15pm, to go to his house to watch the end of the Ducks game. Kellie came over around 2pm, and watched it with us, the Ducks Won and Craig took me back to J & J' s house. They were still at the funeral so I just chilled for about 3 hours, playing Xbox, going online. Its now 6:30pm and J & J picked me up, but I had to get on a flight to go home at 9:20pm. So we had enough time to go to dinner at another one of my favorites, "The Hat," it has the world's best Pastrami, it was Delectable! It was great because Melissa and Shaheen met up with us and I was able to see them for about 20 minutes before we left. I saw Melissa for a total of about 1 hour the whole weekend. So we got in the car, went to Ontario, and got on a plane, and went home.
I was picked up by Jon and Aletheia, and they drove me home. It was a Great Weekend, and loved every minute of it!

Forgiveness

I have recently been stricken with an incredible task. Trying to understand the fact that being forgiven by someone, doesn't necessarily mean you are friends with that person. It has been from my experience that Forgiveness and Friendship come hand in hand. For the first time I must realize that being forgiven is all that I need. I am not the type of person who likes to have enemies, but I think in this case I have no choice. I must learn and understand, what being forgiven means in this situation, to me it should mean, that if this person has forgiven me, then they wont be my enemy. Maybe in time, they wont be my enemies but neutral.

Long Time Listener, First Time Caller

This morning I was driving back from San Jose to Rocklin. I listened to KNBR 680 Sports radio the whole way up. I caught most of the Gary Radinoch show, in which many different topics arose. One topic that peeked my interest the most was the topic of MVP in the NBA this year. Steve Nash won, although I thought it was undeserved. I would of voted for Kobe Bryant or Lebron James. So I decided to call up KNBR, never having done this before, was very nervous. I woman answered and said, "what's your name?"... "Where you from?"... "What do you want to talk about?"... I told them that I wanted to talk about why Nash should not be MVP.
15-20 minutes go by and I hear over the phone(where I could the radio broadcast) "Tim from San Jose, your on the air"
I was so nervous that I think I was talking really loud, so they couldn't hear the cracking in my voice, but I got my point across. Although Gary didn't agree with 100%, he couldn't argue with me.
In conclusion, it was fun bring on the radio.
KNBR is the best sports radio station ever!

Car Problems

So it was Friday morning and I got up early and went to Jiffy Lube to get an oil change. They did there usual oil change and always trying to get more out of you by telling you that you will get better gas mileage if you use this synthetic fluid, blah, blah, blah... So one the things the guy told me at Jiffy Lube was that I needed to clean my battery terminals, that would of cost about 20 more dollars than I wanted to spend, so I said, "NO, but thanks." I got in my car and drove home.
I got home around 10:15am, and needed to leave at 11:30am for an appointment. So I packed up a bag full of clothes because after my appointment I was going away for the weekend. I get in my car and it doesn't start!! I called a friend who knew something about cars, and he said that it was probably my starter. Great another 400 dollars I could of saved!
I call AAA, they will be at my house in 25 minutes, so I found a place to service my car. The tow truck driver shows up and asks what's wrong, I say,"It wont start." He tells me to give it a try again, I turn the key with disgust, because I know its not going to work, but to my dismay, it starts! "What did you do!?" I said. All he did was tightened this bolt that was connected to the terminal on my battery and he said, there you go.
apparently at Jiffy Lube, those oil guzzling jerks forgot to tighten a bolt on my battery after they loosened it.
And everything was fine.

Catcher in the Rye

I finished the book the other day and there was one part of the story that has been sticking with me, it has been talking to me, i thought that the author wrote it to me. If you have ever read Catcher in the Rye, its near the end, if you haven't, let me set the scene a little.
Holden Caufield, the main character, was in his home town staying the night at a friends house, Holden is only 17, but this man is in his late 20's early 30's, his name is Mr. Antolini. Holden looks up to this guy and often seeks advice from him. Holden is going through a rough time in his life, trying to figure out who he is and what he wants to do with his life. This is what Mr. Antolini had to say, "The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man wants to live humbly for one."
This is how i think that we should live our lives for Christ. He doesnt want us to die for him, he wants us to live for him. If we just dwell on dying for Christ, how are we supposed to make an impact on the world?

Take the Lead

So my mom has been on my case for the last 2 weeks or so to go see this movie "Take the Lead." Its this Antinio Banderas picture that has a lot of dancing and good morals. If you like dancing, especially ballroom dancing, then this movie is for you. I went and saw it with my roommate... its not a chick-flick. The students, who play a big part in the movie are quite hilarious. I highly recommend this movie, if you want to go see a "feel good movie."
I read another 75 pages in Catcher in the Rye, its amazing. I hope the author saved the best for the last 75 pages or so.

Books

Today i bought two books, The Catcher and the Rye and Great Expectations. I already read the first 75 pages in CITR, in about 2 hours. I would like start reading lots of books. There is so much interesting literature and mind dwelling novels that i think I am missing out on.
Before i went and purchased those books i should have read in highschool, i watched some amazing sports on the television today. I watched the Giants fall to the Rockies in 10 innings, and the Lakers lose game one to the Suns in the opening round of the NBA playoffs.
So much to say, lets see how much i can get out in these upcoming posts. I plan to write one everyday, lets see how long that lasts...
