Another week has passed by...
Right now, I'm "trapped in a place between this world and the machine world." If you know what I'm talking about, then kudos to you. I, also, am STOKED. But what I actually mean to say is that I'm in limbo land. You might know what I'm talking about...
After work today (17:00), I crashed on my semi-deflated airmattress. I didn't wake up until 1:00. According to my co-op caused rusty mathematics, that's an 8 hour nap. Well...after waking up, and being up for nearly 2 hours, I still don't feel awake. I want to go back to sleep because I really don't have anything to do but I can't. I'M IN SLEEP PURGATORY! (a little catholic humor)
But today, I do have an eventful agenda planned. At 6:00, I'll be heading out to Orlando to pray over the abortion clinic. (By the way, I hope that the partial birth abortion ban passes the Senate so ToddQ's all-time favorite president can sign that sucka.) After doing that, I'll head to Tampa at about 12:00. What's in Tampa, you might ask? Well, I know that Mattie P knows what's in Tampa at 19:00...*cue "We Ready" by Archie and Bubba Sparxxx*...CARDINAL FOOTBALL!!! That's right folks; I'll be watching the good ole Louisville Cardinals playing some football this evening. I'm excited to get a taste of home. My uncle and aunt from Louisville will also be there. My uncle went to Speed with Papa Parris back in the day, got a ChemE degree, and now works for Jim Beam. I'm looking forward to watching a whooping!

That's it folks...my life for the past 2 weeks.
*As a side note, I'm now having malibu music hour..."What the world needs now is love" by Jackie Deshannon just came on. I decided to skip it (because I actually have no clue how it got on my computer) but when I skipped it "Endless Love" by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross (Mikey's dedicated song) came on. For the sake of malibu music hour and remembering sitting in the car with Morris and Mikey after fireworks at da park dedicating this song to Mikey, I had to listen to these songs. "And love, ohh love, I'll be that fool for you. I'm sure you know I don't mind, ohh you know I don't mind. And yes, you'll be the only one cause no one can deny this love I have inside. And I'll give it all to you, my love- my love, my love.....my endless love."
To get me out of malibu music hour was some reassuring music- a passion I have that ToddQ would not only agree with but would whole-heartedly encourage- Five Iron Frenzy- Walking on Sunshine. Ahh...the good old days of Summer 2002: climbing out windows, throwing waffle ball bats, watching World Cup soccer at 1:00 with DLo, going to Ichthus (actually was at the tail end of spring), and listening to Five Iron Frenzy while memorizing speeches and History of Rock & Roll terms, and learning 3D graphing techniques for Calc 3. Ahh...
I read Hinton's blog (can I call it a blog when it's not hosted by blogger.net?), posted on 10.1.2003 at 9:50 AM. Elisabeth Elliot's "Passion & Purity" is a predecessor to the popular Joshua Harris. I've read Harris' books and have attempted to acquire the same mindset he has. By removing the temptation of physical intimacy, one can only grow spiritually with the significant other. To be honest, I haven't been in a situation yet where I have had to make a decision like that with my current beliefs, so we'll find out whether I hold to them when the time comes (if it does...).
*I'm sad to say that malibu music hour continues..."It's raining men" by the Weather Girls just came on. I do know why this song is on my computer. It comes from freshman year, in good ole Miller hall, 3rd floor in David Yeiser's (eDay) room. We used to jam to this song. Along side being forced to listen to the exhaustive porn collection Lykin's had (I must admit, I did encourage him, and even start some, on occasion).
"Hi (Hi!) We're your Weather Girls (Ah-huh)
And have we got news for you (You better listen!)
Get ready, all you lonely girls
and leave those umbrellas at home. (all right!)
It's rising (mm rising) - Barometer's getting low (how low-girl)
According to all sources, (what sources now)
the street's the place to go (you better hurry up)
Cause tonight for the first time
Just about half-past ten
For the first time in history
It's gonna start raining men.
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah! - It's Raining Men! Amen!
I'm gonna go out to run and let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!
It's Raining Men! Hallelujah!
It's Raining Men! Every Specimen!
Tall, blonde, dark and lean
Rough and tough and strong and mean..."
and so on, and so forth.
That's all I can think of for now. Until next time...
