3s

A wise man (Tim Meister) once told me that bad things happen in threes, and i now believe him. So yesturday i was at starbucks hanging out with Juddson and i opened my computer and heard a terrible sound, the sound of my hard drive dying. So i ran over to Lake Pointe because Matt Sears was there, and let him have a look at it, he confirmed my fear that it was dead. Good news is i'm replacing it with a bigger one.

Later that night Bri rolled down the passenger window in my car and when we got to Lake Shore i tried to roll it back up, nothing! I took the door apart today and was able to manually roll it up.

[side note: i am now convinced that there is a whole department that's soul purpose is to try and make a car as hard to take apart as possible.]

Also more good/ bad news, when i backed my car into the driveway to work on the window i noticed that my tire looked a little odd, on closer examination i realized that i would have most likely had a blowout in the not to distantfuture, so that's sort of a praise that i saw it.

Day 1:
So I went down about 4 hours ahead of the others and set up the lights for the weekend, Since I was the lighting guy. So on our way down our group stopped at a rural gas station for a bathroom break and to discuss which route we thought was best. After using the lady's room Lance decided he'd go in after me since the line for the men's was still pretty long. While Lance was in the Lady's room a younge girl walked up and waited out side. A few of us began to giggle, a few seconds later Lance emerged with a slightly embarrised face. And this picture was taken.
Then we got back on the road and got to the camp about an hour later. We then setup the lights and the sound gear. After the Lauren took our Subway order and after about 30 minutes the sandwiches had arrived. On opening them we found out that instead of meatballs, which they had ran out of, they put random meat. We labeled Subway as an "epic fail" and continued our work. At about 9:30 we got a call saying that one of the buses had broken down and they were running behind schedule. We ended up starting worship around 10:30.

Day 2:
I was picked by Adam McCain to make a sermon point, and had to try and get across the auditorium while 10 of the biggest guys in the youth group opposed me. after suffering a possible concussion and a large carpet burn on my elbow I successfully made it. That pretty much all I remember from that day. (hopefully I'll get the video from Stephen) I had a massive headache all day. I still have a slight one right now (Monday)

Day 3:
Had one last morning session and then ate lunch, the group headed out and we packed up all of our gear. Had an enjoyable trip back with Tim, Aaron and Andrew. Beat the buses back by 45 minutes, unpacked the uhaul, and said our goodbyes. All in all it was an awesome weekend.

What the Crap!?

Can you really drive a golf cart on the road?



This lady was in front of me on Ridge Road today and she was slowing down the traffic like crazy. I didn't think it was legal. Is it?

Thursday (two jobs)

Alright to has also been a really busy day. It started at 8:30 (not that bad, but i normally don't goto bed until around 2am) then got a text from Brian (B&L Boss) saying he didn't need me until 10:30 not 9:30 like he had told me, problem was I was already at his shop because I'd left early since I'd never been there. So I ended up sitting in my car listening to music and trying to nap. (suggested by Andrew) Then I work my butt off load Brian's trailer (the kind that an 18 wheeler pulls) from floor to ceiling.

Then once I got done helping Brian I headed to Lake Pointe and finished up the stage for the weekend. I think it looks pretty stinkin' cool. [coroplast on the stage]

Wednesday (craziness)

Ok so pretty much this whole day has been crazy! It started off by me getting off of work a little late (15 mins.) which meant I was a little late to Lake Shore, which wasn't to big of a deal, I just really felt rushed (and I don't like being late) So I show up and find out that Stephen's MacBook Pro had been sent in to Apple because it had some weird black stuff in the CD drive. So that meant that Andrew and I were on graphics, Andrew was busy editing a video that we shot on Sunday so I took over the graphics part. Well early that week someone had changed the password for the wireless internet, which presented a problem. No pictures for the background. So I talked to Nick and at 6:30ish I got the new password. I ended up making all the message graphics during the music and we got them into Media Shout about 5 minutes before the message. (Basically I've felt rushed all day) So then Paradigm ends, pingpong and chatting. Then Nick asked me to take Kate (a girl I don't really know) home because she didn't have a ride. I said "ok" and we left. We're on Dalrock and I ask her if I needed to turn at first turn in (that I was almost to) or the second, she didn't answer so I thought just to be safe I'll pull into the first. She then pipes up and says it's the next one. So I PUT MY BLINKER ON and move back onto the main part of the road and then pull into the next turn lane, then I see red and blue lights in my mirror. I think to myself "CRAP!, wait I wasn't speed, what the heck is he pulling me over for?" So turns out that I should have put on my blinker 100ft before I got back onto the main part of the road. I wanna know how I could do this? The turn lane isn't even 100ft long! But I got off with a warning so I'm happy.

Well that was my day! (hope that wasn't written to poorly for your taste)

Wow it sure has been a while since I've update a blog of any kind. Don't know if I even have followers anymore.

Anyway life is really good right now.
I'm now a student leader at Paradigm = excitement
I might be going on the SAGE girl's tour as the lighting guy
and I'm trying to find this truck for a reasonable price.
