Ah, what a wonderful world we live in...

So here I am, sitting in my messy room and recollecting about the past two days...I have almost gotten hit while driving 6 times (only one of them my fault), been flipped off 4, been honked at 5, honked back 3, been mouthed the f-word at once, and still continue to love driving in the good ole state we call Arizona!  What a wonderful city we live in.  Seriously though, I just absolutely love how people almost hit you, then as they drive by and look at you as if it were your fault!!!  What would you like me to do ma'm...hit my "let's all of a sudden disappear" button on my truck so you don't hit me...or do you want me to swerve, honk, and scream while you cut me off?  Come to think of it, I love yelling at cars for no reason...cause it's the one place where they can't hear you!!!

Speaking of things to do in the car, I have become quite a fan of singing loudly, be-boppin around in the car, and playing my electric seatbelt guitar while playing the drums on my steering wheel, all to the complete and utter amazement and amusement of the innocent bystanders sitting in their cars next to me.  The best is when, all of a sudden, I stop and glare at them...they're like, "Oh crap we shouldn't be staring!"  It's quite fun.

It's very amazing how many girls are so impressed when guys open the door for them.  I do it all the time at ASU and they all look at me like, "You are the greatest man to walk this campus...but you are a freakin retard and sucker for holding the door open!!!"  Ha ha...it's quite funny to see that type of look on their face.  The worst part though of holding the door for a girl, is if there is like, 6 million people behind her...cause then you have to hold it open for them too...and I'm like, "Heck no..."  I just wait until I see an unexpecting victim (usually a stuck up, macho walking, little-man syndrome, can't get enough of myself man) walks up and I smile and let that door swing shut!  Oh if I only had a camera.

So tonight, we had worship practice...it went fairly well...I really enjoyed it.  I really like how Todd leads.  I had quite a few laughs though tonight.  First, Todd began speaking to us about how a song was going to go and a certain somebody (I'm not going to mention his name but it starts with a D and rhymes with "an") just starts talking to another band member about something.  Todd proceeds to graciously bring him back to reality and I catch Raigan's gaze and we both look at each other like, "Did he (the individual mentioned above) just do what I think he just did?"

The other funny thing that happened: we just got a new sound system put in that allows each band member to have their own personal monitor system.  So, I can turn myself up and everyone else off...jk (I wouldn't do that).  Anyway, a certain young lady (I'm not going to mention any names but it starts with a S and rhymes with "ophia") starts trying to figure out different sounds on the keyboard.  She then proceeds to play this weird sound like an off-tune, organ wannabe sound that's like, "Boop boop boop boop boop..." and me, Dan, and Drew all stop playing and look at each other and then proceed to yell, "S___ia"...she didn't realize that we could all hear her and that we were all listening to her.  She had this look on her face like, "Dang it, I just got caught playing something terrible sounding that I actually kind of enjoyed!!!"

Anyways, that's all from the Death Star...

Shopping...what a wonderful feeling!!!

Ok, so I made my first shopping run to Wal Mart!!!  I mean, I had been shopping for groceries with my roomy before, but had not yet made a trip specifically for me to buy stuff that I really wanted.  I felt so "grandma-ish" as I had my cart, pushing it around, filled to the max!!!  It was great!  And I spent way less than I thought I would.

You know what ticks me off!!!  People who buy tons of groceries, yet split it up in like, 3 sections, to pay for it with cash, debit, and credit.  AAHHHH....it makes me mmmmad!!!  This lady did it in front of me and I almost lost my religion!  Just pay for the dumb groceries with the credit card and pay it off with the cash and debit!!!

So, the other day I got two auto loans done for the DJ on 98 KUPD radio.  It was awesome...he was totally chill and I'm gonna try to see if he can hook me up with free tickets or something...

Let's clear something up...

Mmm, if any of you have read my sister's blog, she mentions that I have more hair products than here.  I will therefore state something to clear the issue up...I DO HAVE MORE HAIR PRODUCTS THAN MY SISTER!!!  However, before you all freak out, the reason I have so many hair products is that, if you know me, you know that my hair style changes every...well...day.  Thus, I have my aerosol hair spray for my crazy hair days, my regular hair spray for normal hair days, my spray gel for my "need to look good" days, and my new, favorite, dry hair "cream" for when I want my hair to look crazy but dry.  So, I think I have justifiable reasons for my many hair products.

On to other things...so, I am beginning to hate my alarm clock.  I slept through it (or turned it off, or it didn't go off) twice this week.  Ooo, I was ticked.  It made me miss class twice (thankfully one of those days class was canceled anyway).  So, I think I am going shopping tonight for the loudest, most obnoxious alarm clock around. 

So, it's been 17 days since I moved out of my home base, and I must say, it has been quite fun yet quite crazy.  I don't think I am fully enjoying it because I am so freakin busy with school and work.  But hey, school is almost over.  Please pray that I would be diligent to study and finish this semester strong.

Painful...yet satisfying...I guess

So, I'm sitting here with my foot in a bucket of ice water trying to bring the enormous swelling of my ankle down.  Yes, I screwed up my ankle playing basketball because I wasn't wearing my braces.  It is now turning black and blue and is the size of my calf (and that's not an exageration because you all know I have really skinny legs). 

So this is how it went down.  I am playing on a church league and we play on thursday nights.  During this game, our team was down by as many as 15, and pretty much 10 the whole game...Then, late in the second half we started coming back.  I hit a couple of threes and another teammate hit a three to bring us close.  Then, I was fouled while shooting with 10 seconds left, down by two.  I hit both to send it into overtime.  In overtime, with 16 seconds left, a tie ballgame, and the ball in my hands, I drove the lane and got fouled.  The problem was that I jumped up and landed on another player's foot.  My leg went one way, and my ankle went the other way.  Hence, the pain and misery of a broken, sprained, or torn  up ankle.  It really hurts, but I'm just trying to walk it off. 

Anyways, my day at work was productive.  Caregroup was awesome...we split into guys and girls and discussed questions regarding the biblical definitions of men and women.  It was a very awesome time. 

Oh, by the way...we won the game as my substitue hit one of two freethrows!

Oh ya, I'll have pictures of what my ankle looks like soon...

Laundry is complete!!!

Well, I'm sitting here in class (I mean, in bewteen class ;).  And I was just thinking...school is almost over!!!  Ya baby!  Gotta love that. 

So, I completed my first day of laundry last night, and I must say, it was quite fun seeing all my yucky, dirty laundry become clean, soft, and ready for me to wear again.  Oh the little things that I either took for granted or just never thought about!  I even got to spray special stuff on my stains...and they came out!!!  Incredible.

So today in my gender communications class, half of the class met and discussed questions that we were required to think of and share with the class.  Very interesting conversations I must say.  The best question that came out was, "Can men and women just be friends?"  It was definitely an interesting 15 minutes of discussion.  It got kind of heated, which was very entertaining to watch.

Last night, I had dinner with my wonderful mommy and dad.  Mmm, homemade tacos and burritos.  Gotta love it!!!  It was just really nice to be with my family, excluding Andrea of course because she freakin hates me (ha ha jk jk - she just prioritizes the Daukas children over her brother).
