Dangerous Business

Why do they test you on these things on the ACT? It’s not like you REALLY use them in every day life. I have been able to get by for the past 4 years without really using them. Why do I need to know about isosceles triangles and the mass of an orange? WHY?! Who cares how much wind resistance a car has at 35 mph?!
I mean, even fractions. In the real world, people don’t worry about reducing them… why should I?

It’s just stupid. I don’t understand it.
Not to mention the way they go about teaching it, is all wrong. The teaching system is broken… but that’s a whole other topic by itself.

Insanity ensues.

I just saw this on someone else’s journal… it’s freaking hillarious. I don’t know how the guy taking the order kept up with it, without having them repeat it. He’s amazing… hahaha… He totally needs a pay raise.

These are a couple of poems that I wrote while I was getting my oil changed the other day… I like the first one better.

Hell–
Always falling
ever weeping
pain and torture
no rest for the weary
what repreave
none I see
If only I had
made him my king
riches untold
water abound
loving father
solid ground
I refused him
now I fall
forever and always
will I crawl

Life–
In this world
I will travel
always looking
through the rabble
forever looking
for my place
will I find
that amazing grace
I was told
of amazing love
how can this be
for a sinner
like me?
does he know
of my foolish pride
when he comes
will I hide?
maybe I shall
take his hand
he shall lead me
to his promised land
I have found him
or has he found me?
Dark and disparing
I felt lonely
but now I know
the truth of life
a sinner needs
not to strife
he’s always waiting
with open arms
he will not let you
come to harm

I was just re-reading my last post… and in the last paragraph I said “relationship”. That looks kind of odd to me, and I could see where it could cause some confusion. “Friendship” would be the better word to put there.
Not sure if anyone really cared, but for my own well being and state of mind, I had to fix it.

So yes, that’s glad I have a friendship like that…

Goodness, that’s embarassing.

I notice that I am going longer and longer without making a post on my blog. This happens every time I start up a blog. It’s like I start off and it’s going great. Then something happens, and I just lose it. I stop making posts, and it really makes me sad. I don’t know what to do about it.

Of course, other than just making posts. No matter how short they are.
Just post because I feel like it.

On a whole different topic, it sometimes makes me sad that my friends have completely changed in the past six months. Within the past six months, I have gone from wanting to spend all my time in Ellijay, because that’s where everyone was and they didn’t like to go anywhere… to all the time being on the road. Between Ellijay and Rome all the time.

Even within Ellijay, I have been traveling more. The Blizzard’s and I have started doing more together. Like this past Saturday we went Jeeping out in Cashes Valley. We had a great time! Six months ago, I had pretty much stopped doing things like that. I have no idea why, either. There was no reason for it… I just stopped.

I know I commented on this a few posts ago, but I still am so thankful for it. That is friends that I can pray with and have conversations about God with. People my age that are on fire for the Lord. It’s amazing and refreshing to see and be a part of.

Last night Lorena and I were on the phone for quite some time, talking about God and his designs for his children. It’s like a recharge for my batteries, you know? It’s been so tremendously long since I have been able to be in a relationship where we both receive blessings from each other. Not just me mentoring the other person (like the kids), or me being mentored to (like the guys).

Words can’t really describe the feeling of walking together down the straight and narrow path.
(Content sigh)… Thank you, my God… My King… My Daddy.

Dad came in the other night and wanted me to do something to his website for him. I realized that I couldn’t remember much of what all I had learned when I built my website. It was driving me nuts.
I could remember the simple things like paragraphs and stuff, but trying to remember how to make the text bigger… nope. It was driving me insane.

I really need to go back and work on my site a little bit, keep it fresh in my memory. Not to mention I never did do anything I wanted to with it. It’s like I started making it, got it to a good point… and that was it.
Finished, done, over, finished and over, done and finished, over and done.

I wouldn’t have posted anything about this, had I not just gone to my site and seen that one of the W3 “blocks” wasn’t working. So that means that I’ll need to go in and fix it… however I really don’t feel like doing that.
So, maybe my website will just sit there forever… dark and cold.

That’s another thing that is starting to bother me about it. I have come to the conclusion that it is way too dark. I always make my websites with a black background. That is my favorite color, yes… but it’s a bit too dreary when you have that much of it in one small space. Not to mention the greens are all fairly dark too.

Okay, I should really stop going on and on about this…

Tootles.
