I was watching an movie trailer on TV which made me laugh. I was eating dinner, and saw a scene where girls and boys are doing push-ups, and one guy tells one of the girls that maybe she should do some girl push-ups. The girl who was already doing regular push-ups, starts doing one-handed push-ups. Then all the other guys say "Damn!!!". I thought that was kind of funny and laughed, and some of the noodles in my mouth got spit out while I was laughing. In about an hour I'll be leaving for my brother's place. Got to pick up my parents from Baltimore. Countdown to 26: 1 days. Thursday, November 28, 2002
Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope you all have a great day. So far I've just slept, watched TV, went to a friends house for lunch/dinner. Today I should do some chores like pick up my apartment, wash the dishes, take out the trash, wash my car and put my new NJ plates on my car...but I guess I'll just wait to do that for tomorrow. Countdown to 26: 2 days. Wednesday, November 27, 2002
This isn't really a big deal but I got 54,660 points playing the timed version of BEJEWELED. That's a record for me. But since I have the unregistered version I have to wait like 75 seconds before each round to play. I get to go home now. Well actually gotta stop by the mall to pick up my gift for my mom. I got to buy my brother and Debby a DVD player too for their one-year anniversary (which I promised in October). My small group is going to hang out tonight but I think I gotta stay home and fix my computer...so I can burn some sermon CDs and stuff.
This morning I woke up kind of early due to a bad dream I was having. I was driving along the highway, and I was driving on the left-most lane. The car in front of me had managed to quickly put some distance between us. Almost like one second he was in front of me, and the next there was this huge clearing in front of me. And so like I sometimes do when there is a wide open lane in front of me, I'll put pedal to the metal and let the engine rip sometimes going like 100+ mph. And almost as quickly as the car ahead of me had put good distance between us, the car slowed down just as quickly. Just as I slammed on my brakes, I saw a cop along the right-side shoulder. I slid past the cop, crashed into the cars in front of me and ended up in the woods. As this was all happening I had this sickening feeling in my stomach that I was in so much trouble, and I thought about escaping, and suddenly I was crouched outside my vehicle thinking if I should run, because I knew the cop would be there in a matter of seconds. The next thing I remember was laying on my back with the cop looking down at me with a big grin on his face shaking his head side to side. Kind of like the "I caught you, and you are in BIG TROUBLE" look. I had that inescapable, pit-in-your-stomach feeling of knowing that your freedom was about to be taken away from you for such a stupid mistake, and thinking, hoping, it was all a bad dream. But when I woke up, the dream still felt so real, that when I woke up at 8:20 AM, I was wide awake with fear. I'm glad to still have life. I'm glad to be well (or at least not as sick as before). I'm glad I still have my freedom. Today's Our Daily Bread really touched my heart. I had to fight back tears reading it's message. Often it takes times of tragedy to remind us what really matters in life. When things are going well, we can easily get preoccupied with what we own. Have you spent time today praising God for your life and for the people He has given you to share it with? That's what really matters Countdown to 26: 3 days. Tuesday, November 26, 2002
Wow...I certainly have a lot to say today. 3 long posts in one day. Anyway I just got back from the NJ Motor Vehicle Services. I took my written test for my driver's license and got NJ tags and registration. Now all I have to do is get a NJ inspection within the next 14 days and I'll be good to go. I don't know why a car has to be titled in every state. If the title to the car just shows ownership...then why does it have to be dependent on what state you are in? I have to trade in my PA title, and they are going to mail me my NJ title to the SAME CAR. Why? I think it's stupid. Everything cost me about $75. Wow. Funny story. In order to get my license I have to take a vision and written test. The lady asked me to look into the machine and asked me to read out the letters on "line 3". There were 3 sets of 3 letters (e.g.: G B H - D F E - R O N). The middle set was very clear, but the left and right sets of letters were blurry. I read them aloud kind of hesitantly. Fearing what I'd hear, she said, why don't you try that again. So again I fumbled through the same line. Nervously I look back at her and she asks me when I last had my eyes checked, which was only about a month or two ago. She tells me to try looking in again and reading line 1. I don't know if they were much clearer, but I must have done better because then she asked me to read off the colors at the bottom. She started scribling stuff down on the application and she put on a holographic sticker on the application. I HAD PASSED but just BARELY!!! Holy smokes, and to think the whole time I was worried about the written test which was the next thing I took. It wasn't that hard. I answered all the questions correct except the ones I skipped (5 out of 30 questions). I didn't have a chance to redo the skipped questions because I had passed with 25 out of 30 questions.
OMG, I'm such an idiot. Two things to report about. First, my bank account is done online with NetBank. In order to cash in checks, I need to mail them in. I bunch up my checks and mail them together. My NJ state property tax relief check ($100) was sent to me in September...and I mailed it in. A couple of days later I opened up a new money market account, but when Netbank got the checks they didn't know what account to put it in...so they sent the checks back. Well I procrastinated and 90 days later the $100 check becomes void. Yesterday I go to mail the checks in again and realize the check expired!!! $100 down the drain!!!! ARGH I HATE WASTING MONEY!!! Stupid thing #2: I was issued a citation for having expired PA inspection stickers in September. I was told I'd need to arrange a court date. One was sheduled for me, and I by all means planned on going. I scheduled the date Nov. 11th in my palm, but due to illness I was hospitalized for a few days and released late in the evening on Nov. 11th. So basically I missed my court date. I have a doctors note to prove I was unable to make the court hearing, and so I began to write a letter to state my case, and hopefully get another court date rescheduled. As I'm writing the details of the letter I realize the court date was 11/19/02...not 11/11/02. So how did I get the court date wrong? I think this is what I did. I saw the number 11 from 11/19/02, and paged forward on my palm pilot to the month of November, and having just seen the number 11, I guess I thought that was the date as well. So I scheduled Nov. 11 instead! Moral of the story: I'm such an idiot!!! If I would have written the letter right away or mailed in the checks right away, and NOT PROCRASTINATED, I could have saved $150. ($100 for the check, and $50 collateral payment for the ticket). AHHHHHH.
Yesterday I went to look at a couple of 2BR apartments. I'm thinking of rooming with a friend from church, but I still have my doubts as to whether that's a good idea. Anyway I have to decide by tomorrow what to do. Moving is such a pain, and thinking about it just makes me sick to my stomach, not to mention I'll have to do it during the holiday season. Anyway after looking at apartment, we went over to Moorestown Mall Food Court to get some dinner. I had an open-faced turkey sandwich with side of cole slaw and mashed potatoes. The best part of it was how they smothered everything in gravy sauce. MMmmmm. After that I went shopping around for some gifts. My mom's birthday was on 11/22 (Fri), but all day Friday I was kind of busy and it totally slipped my mind. It wasn't until I was in NYC with my friends having a great time that my mom called and asked me why I didn't even call her on her birthday! I FORGOT MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY and I felt so bad. Really what kind of son doesn't wish her mom happy birthday, especially right after she worried herself sick while I was in the hospital, cleaned up my apartment and everything?!?! I feel like such a rotten son. So anyway I'm walking through the store trying to think of what to get my mom for a birthday gift (to give to her this weekend). Desperate for something, the Hallmark store seemed like a good start. But the only thing they had there that seemed anywhere close to being nice was wind chimes. So I looked at the really expensive ones, and they sounded pretty nice too. While I was waiting in line I struck up a conversation with a chatty group of moms. They were laughing and having a good time. I told them I was looking for a really nice gift for my mom (and that I missed her birthday, and I needed something to say I'M SOOOOO SORRY FOR FORGETTING!!!). They looked at me in astonishment and told me I shouldn't buy windchimes...that I should get something more personal or intimate. Even the Hallmark cashier (at the risk of losing a sale) agreed with the moms. They made a few suggestions, and told me to visit a store, just two doors down. So I stopped by and after much debate I finally chose something that my mom will like. It's personal and from the heart *hint*. I can't say just yet because I think my mom reads this everyday and I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise. Mom, if you are reading this, I love you so much, and I don't want to lose the "Favorite Son" title. I will do anything to be your favorite son. Monday, November 25, 2002
A few days ago I opened up a fortune cookie that said "Someone from your past has returned to steal your heart." Which is kind of eerie because within the last week or so I've had two dreams of my ex-girlfriend. In both dreams I was yearning for her. In the first dream, I was riding my bike and she was sitting along the handle bars, and in slow motion and to really nice romatic music I was riding down gradually sloping steps (don't ask me how that could be comfortable or romantic), but I remember distinctly zig-zagging down the slope to make the ride as long as possible, as though I didn't want it to end. In the second dream (and you have to understand that I like bright flashy things) we were painting each others faces with fluorescent paint UV sensitive paint. We were kissing, but the whole time I was trying to turn on the black light on that was just behind her to see our faces light up. She was my one, my only. I'm such an idiot for letting her go. Kaori, if you are out there, please come back. ~sniff sniff. *Disclaimer - I'm over her and all, so don't think I'm still hung up on her, but it's just because of this stupid fortune cookie.
By the end of the month I need to tell my management office if I'm staying or not. I have to sign another lease if I'm staying. This is such a pain, and I wish the monthly rates were all the same instead of different rates depending on how long you stay. This morning I kind of woke up earlier than usual, and got into work at 10:15 AM. My co-worker was kind of surprised too see me there too since usually in the morning he uses my computer since I'm not usually there until later. Countdown to 26: 5 days. Sunday, November 24, 2002
On the 22nd was my mother's birthday. I was kind of busy during the day and later on we went out to have some fun, and the whole time I totally forgot my mom's birthday. She called me while I was out in NYC with my friends close to midnight, and she left a message asking me why I didn't call and wish her happy birthday. I felt so awful that I forgot and moreover I think my mom was really disappointed that I didn't call. I think I feel off the "favor son" list for the time-being. On the 23rd was Yujin's birthday. I happened to remember it was his birthday by reading people's weblogs and stuff. Then today was Ted's birthday. After first service we went out to lunch at Vinny Testa's with a bunch of folks...and after that the guys went over to PC Bang and played some CS. I can't believe it but most of the time there I was playing terribly. Only one map where I placed first, but everything else I was pretty much dead last!!! I lost all my credibility today. Now the other guys will never think I'm any good. It's around 7pm and I'm at church trying to make the sermon CD. After I get home I think I gotta try and fix my computer...so that I can play more CS, and finally get all the sermon, missions conference messages onto CD, etc. Countdown to 26: 6 days. Saturday, November 23, 2002
OMG...last night I had so much fun and would you believe it was all without a single drink. Well the reason I said that is because I was at a karaoke club called Camel in NYC. Me and 5 other people went. Toni backed out last minute, but just as well since we had a great time without her...he he he. Just about everyone else was drinking except me and I totally realized how smashed and foolish they were acting. DC was hitting on a bunch of girls that were sitting next to us, and at first he was hitting on this one girl that seemed a bit shy and all. She totally gave us the cold shoulder, and after painfully seeing her ward of his advances time and time again, he finally moved onto another girl...but this girl was like weird looking. She wore cowboy-looking boots, short plaid mini-skirt, and had realy curly hair...but most shocking of all is that everyone except DC thought she was ugly...and I don't mean just ugly...but FUGLY. he he he, no offense DC. Anyway I had a lot of fun dancing and can you believe I even had the guts to sing 2 songs in front of everyone, but later my friends told me I was singing so softly that they could barely hear me. It worked out well since I was so nervous that if I sang any louder people would have heard my voice cracking and waivering from fear. We danced the night away until about 5 in the morning. Toward the end I met two girls that were dancing near us. They were very shy and reserved. Incidently they were sitting right in front of us the whole time. We talked with them for a bit but I couldn't get her number (we left before I had a chance to say goodbye), despite all the trash talking about how many numbers I'd get and stuff. Turns out I didn't get squat, and like last time ended up giving out my number again instead of getting one. Oh well. Better luck next time. Some of you might be thinking "why would you want to meet a girl at a club anyway?" but in my defense, they seemed like really sweet, cute girls, although a bit too shy. After that we went out to eat sul-lung-tang, and went to bed. Only got about 6 hours of sleep before having to wake up at noon and checking out of the hotel. All throughout today we walked from uptown to downtown, some 30 or 40 blocks. Man were my legs tired. We went shopping around for a watch for TK. Later we went back up to uptown, had dinner, and left for home. Got back around 9pm. Friday, November 22, 2002
Okay...this might sound lame, but I had to "rank" my friends list because a few of my other friends complained to one of my other friends that they were being unfairly ranked on his website. As a result, he in turns get upset at us because we don't rank our lists...so I'm indirectly mulled up in all this non-sense. I'm generally #3 on his list, which is a respectable rank I think, but now I got to change things. What I have done is obviously placed family links up at the top of my list (since family is important of course), so my brothers occupy the top two spots, and everyone beneath that is in chronological order of when I added them to my site. Injoong complains he's "last" on my list, but now that I've changed it, he's #1 on my list, even though he's still at the bottom. I hope this is an even compromise.
Yesterday I forgot to mention was a crazy meeting day. 2 back to back 2-hour meetings that were boring as heck. Doesn't sound so bad I suppose to a normal worker, but seeing how I work at Lockheed Martin, and they basically don't know I work here (which is why I come into work at like 11 or 12 noon). This morning my internet connection finally works again. Cable guy came in and had to replace the cable modem, citing a surge of some sort might have damaged it. I was feeling really lazy for some reason and went back to sleep. I went to bed kind of early last night, and I still couldn't get out of bed this morning. Argh. Anyway this is my second time in a row I left my work badge at home. So I had to go up to the front desk and get a replacement temporary badge and crap like that. Had to call one of my friends to let me into my work area (since it's a secured closed area). I like saying that. Makes my job sound kind of important even though I know it ain't. :) Today I'm working only a half day. Need to drop by the hospital and pick up my doctors note which states I was in the hospital and unable to work for like 2 weeks. After that got to go home and pack since I'm headed up to NYC for a little bit of NY fun. I don't care what other people say but I'm bringing glow sticks. If I can't drink, the least I can do is dance right? Well at least try to dance!!! Thursday, November 21, 2002
Yesterday I went to the Motor Vehicle Services to get my NJ license but they stopped administering the test 30 mins before closing time...so I have to go back, which is just as well since I need to present the title of my car and fill out other forms to get my car registered in NJ. K-Mart was right beside there and so I decided to go in to buy a pillow, since when my family came up to NJ (when I was in the hospital) they accidently took my pillows when they left. While I was in there I saw Martha Stuart comforter sets were on sale so I ended up buying it. The comforter isn't so soft though, but I think I'm going to keep it...since I need extra blankets anyway. My internet connection at home is still down. This is so annoying. I didn't do anything to it. Comcast service sucks!!! I'm definitely not happy with them. Wednesday, November 20, 2002
Yesterday I left work early so I could go to the Motor Vehicle Services. I kind of forgot where it was though, but drove off to where I thought it was. I couldn't find it so I basically wasted my time. I'm thinking of taking a half-day of work today so I can get my license and maybe get an oil change for my car. Yesterday my internet connection was also down for some reason too, so I couldn't really do much. Such as working on my friend's website, and also write about how the night before I went out to see the Leonid Meteor Shower, but didn't see squat. I think this is kind of funny. I work on our church's website all the time. This week I wrote the announcements, and I'm always critical of others when they don't do a good job. So imagine my shock when my friend (who usually does the announcements) write to me and tells me I had a couple typos on the announcements. This is what I wrote. (hate should be hats, and bugs should be mugs). I thought it was kind of funny, like my subconscious mind was trying to say something.

Didn't get up as early as I wanted to, but still made time for breakfast, exercise, and a shower. Got to work at 11am. Today I had pizza and coke for lunch and went to a lunch time bible study at work, which I've kind of been skipping out on the last few weeks, but now I'm going to start going again. Later at work, there was free deep dish pizza, so I took a slice of that. That usually happens on Tuesday...I think some kind of manager's meeting, and when food is ordered, the extras and left downstairs for anyone. Yesterday I worked more on Tae's website, and he seems to be pretty happy with it. People are already beginning to look at the website. I've got a few more things I want to do before I'm done. Also yesterday while I was doing that, I felt hungry, but didn't feel really like eating anything I had. I was confused since I have almost everything and anything to eat. Hmmm... Monday, November 18, 2002
Everyday for the last few days has been daily affirmation that I'm alive and doing better. Yesterday during church service it hit me that I never once thought of where I would be headed if I died. Heaven or Hell? I guess that could be a good thing, because I'd like to think that the angel wouldn't have much trouble finding my name on that big book at the gate. But what was revealed to me was a selfish heart...all I could think about was getting better and having life. God really wasn't in the picture, except for those scary moments before I passed out, and on the free ride to the hospital...but those were moments where I was pleading for my life. It wasn't about a calm understanding of what God was saying to me, just a frantic panic. Anyway I'm just so glad that I'm able to tell everyone that I've been meeting, that I'm alive and doing "better" (maybe not quite "well"...but getting there). And I've noticed a very unusual side effect these past few days as well. This HUGE smile on my face it's almost ugly. Seriously...after talking with some people about me getting better, I passed by a mirror and saw just how much I was smiling...and thought...ewwww! Maybe I just got used to the stoic or impassive look. Sunday, November 17, 2002
Woke up early today to go to first service. I was planning on doing the slide projections but Billy did it for me. So for most of first service I ended up preparing the sermon CD's from the last 3 weeks. The Korean church held a food bazaar to raise money for missions. I bought bul-goh-gi bap so I can eat tomorrow. I went to second service which was pretty packed. Everyone was still asking me how I was doing health-wise. Again it felt so nice to be the center of attention. Shame on me. Oh well. Anyway after second service the webteam met and we decided to have it over lunch. Sushi buffet at Oasis in Center City. Boy did I pig out. I just really hope it doesn't really screw me up again somehow. After dinner I went back to church and did some sermons stuff. Around 6:30pm I met Ted at PC Bang and we played CS for a few hours. That's my day. Pretty non-eventful. Friday, November 15, 2002
Didn't really do too much today. Woke up late and today began eating more solid type foods. Heated up a frozen pizza, and some rice and fried wontons. Today I worked a lot on Tae's real estate website. I think it looks pretty nice, albeit very simplistic. Take a look at my work. Rent Pocono Homes. Went to the missions conference at church and was really happy to see everyone. I have to admit I really did enjoy all the attention too of everyone asking me how I was doing, etc. Still haven't gotten my NJ license yet, nor have I picked up my Iron supplements. Tomorrow morning I'll have to wake up and encode the sermons and worship from the missions conference. Thursday, November 14, 2002
I'm feeling much better...and feeling a lot more confident of my health. I think by next week I'll be all back to normal. I hope my boss at work doesn't feel like I'm taking too much time off. I feel really guilty about taking the time off. I wouldn't mind even spending my time as unpaid leave since LM is paying for my health insurance even...but everyone keeps telling me to use the sick time because that's what it's for. Anyway today I finally took a good old fashion hot shower in a few days. I had to be careful not to get water into my stitches, and stuff like that. I feel so clean and refreshed. I have a few friends visit me today. 4 people total. One couple even brought me a big tin full of chocolate covered cookies, pears, and OMG....MANDOO!!! I guess I gotta eat this soon before it goes bad. It looks fresh and homemade :) Well gotta finish up Tae's real estate website. This ain't a great picture, and I look much better now, but I basically had a deep cut near the center of my head that required stitches, and everything else was scratches and other small cuts around my left eye, and was a bit swollen too, but not anymore. My face. Wednesday, November 13, 2002
Spent most of the day sleeping and watching TV. Nothing really exciting. People keep calling me throughout the day to make sure I'm okay. Makes you really appreciate the friends you have. Later in the night I went out to the grocery store to pick up some food, primarily wanted to get Iron supplements but I guess you can only get that at the pharmacy. I also had to drop off a video at the library. Billy Elliot is such a boring movie and so difficult to watch since everyone curses like every other work and talks with an accent. I'd give it a (minus) -5 stars out of 5. I didn't even finish the movie, that's how bad it was. Today I'm going to try and eat a fruit a day. Today I had an orange, but it smelt and tasted like feet! While I was in the hospital, my coworkers got me a fruit basket so I am determined not to let any of it go to waste. Tuesday, November 12, 2002
Today I felt like crap. I'm doing fine...but just felt like crap. I've had this headache all day...one of those you get when you sleep like half the day. I did go to see a movie I SPY with my friend Sam. It was good to get out I guess.
Okay...I woke up around 10am this morning. I called Jefferson to find out about the additional tests they'd like to do, but the procedure called Capsule Endoscopy, is not covered by insurance and costs $1,000 out of pocket up front. Not that I'm putting a price on my life or health, but I talked it over with my parents and determined it's better to hold off on doing the procedure for now, until we get better information or until it's a little more urgent to do so. Right now I'm just taking it easy. I had a blueberry muffin, some yogurt, milk and salad, for lunch. I hope that's easy enough on my system. Monday, November 11, 2002
I almost died on Wednesday, Nov. 6th. Just got back from the hospital. Still aren't sure what was wrong, but I'm scheduled to go back to Jefferson to get more tests done...so I'm almost out of the woods. Wednesday, November 6, 2002
Yeah baby. Took the whole day off today from work...and it's a pretty neat feeling. Kind of reminds me of the days when I was unemployed...had all the time in the world to do whatever I wanted. Anyway yesterday I got out of work early to pick up this solution that was supposed to purge my system. That was not fun. Last night I slept over at my friends place...so that going to my early morning appointment would be easier. I finally got there and Scott was already there watching Lord of the Rings. This morning we woke up and got to the hospital kind of late. I dressed down into a gown and they hooked me up to an IV. They gave me an oxygen mask too and I commented to the nurse that the oxygen smelled good...and she told me it was probably the plastic mask I was smelling...he he he. They told me they'd place me under "conscious anesthesia", but don't be fooled...there's nothing conscious about it. I remember thinking I should breathe up as much of this pure oxygen as possible since it's good for me right? Then the next thing I remember waking up thinking why haven't they done anything yet. Then I realized that I wasn't in the same room as before. The anesthesia completely knocked me out. It's kind of funny, but at the same time absolutely shocking...because for that period of time I had absolutely no consciousness. Now I think I understand how MGB (or whatever that date rape drug is called) works. Completely knocks you out. Tuesday, November 5, 2002
Yesterday I stayed at work until basically the building closed. Was trying to make up hours that were lost from going to the doctors. I was feeling fine until last night when my abdomen started to hurt a little. I am still bleeding a lot...and have lost a lot of blood I think. Last night in fact I dreamed that my sister-in-law was playing with her pet baby bunny. It was so soft and cuddly. She was showing me its paws for some reason and she flipped the bunny over on it's backside and I tried to help, but then the bunny bit into my thumb and had like this death grip on my thumb. I figured I'll just wait it out...the bunny should let go...meanwhile I'm trying not to scream from the pain. The bunny wouldn't let go and after a few seconds...blood started to pour out of my thumb and that's when I decided I had to get this bunny off my thumb. I think someone else was there trying to hit the bunny off...but basically I hit the bunny really hard on the head and its limp body just fell to the ground next to the bushes sprawled out like road kill. Blood was gushing out of my thumb and it was even pulsating like you see in the movies. As I washed the blood away with water, Debby just stood there traumatized and so sad that her bunny was no more. I felt so bad because I just killed her bunny. Pretty weird dream huh? Monday, November 4, 2002
I got back from the doctors office not too long ago. Took 3 hours out of my work day to go. Kind of an unexpected emergency visit. Got some blood work done and I might have to go in on Wednesday to get more tests done. Kind of a serious problem that I mentioned earlier. My doctor still thinks it might be Behcet's. I'm not sure what to think anymore. Anyway I got back and grabbed two Big n'Tasty burgers. When they first debutted, I'll admit, they were huge...almost whopper sized. Now they are tiny like every other burger at McDonalds. Figures...since they put it on the dollar menu...something had to get smaller right? The beef patty though is still pretty big compared to their regular sized patties. I think they should rename it the Tiny n'Tasty burger. The following is rated M for Mature Audiences I just read an article that I think is kind of funny. The article is about gay sheep...and what the study's results might mean. "We are not trying to explain human sexuality by this study," Charles Roselli, a professor of physiology and pharmacology who led the study. But they want to investigate the matter further. They don't court or mate with females. They only court and mate with males. The "gay" sheep are strongly homosexual, Roselli said". So in order to perform the study...this is what they did. First the scientists watched the sheep to be sure of their behavior -- something that cannot be done with humans. Then they took apart their brains. Puh ha ha ha. At first I thought, this writer is an idiot for sounding so insensitive. Then I thought well they are animals...but if this is what humans do to gay sheep, imagine what God will do to gay humans. Before I get all caught up in the whole homosexual debate...let me state my stance. I'm not saying having homosexual thought is wrong, but I think it's wrong to engage in that activity, just as say killing someone is wrong. Heck all guys (well almost all guys, I can think of a few exceptions...he he he) have natural urges and manly needs...but we don't all go around raping women or children and blaming it on our natural urges. The Bible says it's wrong and so does society. Homosexuality is just wrong...but not even that...it's just GROSS! I mean two guys at it...PLEASE...that's YUCK!!! And two women going at it...well I think it's kind of funny because it's like two people working together trying to complete a task without the proper tools...scratching their heads trying to think of what their missing. Okay...I'll end there before you all think I'm a pervert or something.
Weekend Update: Saturday, November 2, 2002
Wow...crazy night. First off, our small group leader didn't show up because he was sick...and our co-leader got out of work late, so when I got there, everyone else was just watch TV. We ordered food but, people who ordered, didn't order enough pizzas and wings, so Sarah went out to get some more food. The first place had like paper thin pizza, and baby chicken wings. Such a rip off...and then the next place Sarah went to was much better, except for the anchovies that she ordered with it. I've had anchovies before but dang I didn't remember them being so strong and smelly. Bottomline, don't get the anchovies...and the chicken wings from the second place were like twice the size of the first place. Amazing difference. So basically that's all we did...eat and watch a movie (X-men). Can you believe we finished the movie! It started to get late and we decided it was kind of too late to start a bible study so we just played games. he he he. After that I went over to Dave's place and we chilled out over a few drinks. It was pretty cool, because Connie had gotten there a little bit earlier and cut all the fruit and stuff. It was like going to a real Korean place except a LOT cheaper. I ended up staying over at Ed and Dave's place that night. This morning I got up around 10am and left for home. Ate some lunch and watched a little bit of TV as I prepared to go to work...and here I am now. Friday, November 1, 2002
Cool. I just found out this cool feature/service that I added to my weblob. Got the idea from my brother-in-law. This is like exactly what I've been thinking of doing and looks much better I think than "comments" as seen on many weblogs these days, or even just an email link. It took only like half an hour to configure and include into my weblog. I wish I could customize it a little more though...and get rid of the gay ads and stuff. Oh well. I guess when it's free you can't complain right. But then again with a lot of work I'm sure I could probably program one of these things myself, if only Geocities let you do CGI. Anyway it's about time for me to head off to small group soon.
Okay...yesterday was a big disappointment. I only had a total of 3 kids show up to my door, especially when I had just stopped by the store to buy 6 bags of candy (about $10 worth). And one of the kids wasn't even dressed up in a costume...just a thick winter jacket. Next year I'm not even going to bother. My neighborhood is a dud. I'm going to try and focus more of my energy next year on Halloween parties and such. This I came into work shortly after 11am. Today our small group are meeting for home bible studies...and then after that...off to Dave's for a bit of fun. Yesterday I realized how fat I'm getting. I'm basically developing a POT-BELLY. I need to exercise more and try and build a toned body...focus my attention on gaining healthy weight instead of just any kind of weight.
