I give advice. I try to give Godly advice, mainly dealing with how God would want you to deal with the problem, but if you are not a Christian, I will give you advice accordingly.
Movies. Although, may not know the best of the best movies, I still like to talk about them. If you like movies, then let's talk.
Halo. I will destroy in that game, although I don't even own an X-box. I love it and if you want to play sometime, my roomate has a live account.

| Well we made it to New Orleans. In fact, I am actually typing it up right now in the Hilton in the French Quarter. I won't write too much about it, but so far it has been an amazing adventure once again. I can't compare it to last year because it is so different. I have become much closer to the people that I know from leadership and met some other awesome peoples as well.
We have almost finished gutting down the house that we've worked on the last two days. It goes faster when you dont have to dump a bunch of garbage out of the house. It is fun to take a sledge hammer to the wall, but gets tiring really fast.
We also made gravel with sledge hammers too. That was also quite fun.
I have a ton of pictures that will be downloaded to facebook. In the meantime, you get to only hear of the awesomeness that is New Orleans. I also got to drive down here. But that was actually a pretty crappy part of the trip. I do not like big city driving, especially during rush hour, and ESPECIALLY when I have no idea where we are going and have to follow closely behind the other van.
The bus ride down here wasn't that bad either. Pretty comfortable and I have smallville and scrubs to keep me entertained.
Tonight is a down night for me. I am so tired from the work. I did go out for some bingets tonight though and got to see the cat park again. We went out to Bourbon street two nights ago and that was fun. There was a magician on the street and unfortunately a lot of stripper places. That gets old after awhile.
I really don't want to go back right away. I am actually considering interning with Campus Crusade for Christ in New Orleans for the summer. I think that would a lot of fun.
Allright, that is all for me. See you all later.

| Muahahahahaha......new changes

| Well, I haven't posted in a while. Once again, not too much to post, but I'll try.
Accountability is going well with the guys. We finally started that up again. I once believed that having a lot of friends was a very good thing. Wow, I was wrong. I mean it is nice to know a lot of people, but it is so much better to have really close friends. The conversations, the victories, heck...even the defeats. It is great to go through that with someone you know than a bunch of people that you barely know. The main thing that I value from close friendships is trust. I never really had that with other friends, it is good to finally have that.
My cat is coming up this Friday. He will be so scared when he gets up here, but eventually he will calm down. Mainly because there isn't that much here to be afraid of and I have a lot of cat treats for him. It will be kind of nice to have him around too. I don't get to see him much any more and he is getting sort of old. It will be fun.
Communications...wow. Okay, it is an easy job, but I am going to have to lay some smack down on RESPONDING TO MY EMAILS!!! In the end, three e-mails are being sent out this week. Not anymore! Since basically only one person that will read this message is on leadership, I will have to explain it again.
Well, I am tired and need to sleep, I probably will write some other time about how God is affecting my life, but I have a test tomorrow...nuff said.

| If you read this, and there is one thing that I would pass down to anyone. Find that one good friend who will listen. You keep yourself bottled up and nothing will flow through. God has shown me this more than anything these last couple months.
Let's just say that tonight I let out so much; so many fears, so many frustrations, many confusions. It is beautiful what can be lifted off your chest and how much better you will feel afterwards.
Well, nothing much happened this week. It was the first week of school and so far, not much has come out of it. I dropped a class and now I am only taking 12 credits. You have no idea the smile that is on my face right now. Why? Because though I have dropped a class, I will still be able to graduate on time and not have to add any classes on my schedule.... .
hehe.....
Leadership is great. Discipleship has yet to impress me yet. I don't feel any sort of connection in it as of yet. I am with two other guys and I am about as distant from them as ever. I will try to work on that.
I am basically the communications guy. Not hard, just lots of emails to be sent.
I am going to get Vista upgrade. It will take up to 8 weeks, but oh well. I will get the best of the best.....actually probably not, but I saw what they added to PPT and I am excited for that. (I am a business major, so making powerpoints is fun!!)
Well that is it for now.

| You know
what's awesome. When God places a friend in your life that understands the exact things you are going through, the struggles, the victories, the happiness, and also the sadness that life can bring. Yeah, it is neat. I've never actually had that with anyone. I've been praying for this for a while. It is not what I expected, but it is perfectly what I need, what I want. I would say God works in mysterious ways, but that phrase is way overused. I will just say that God does listen. Just give Him time, He will take you where you need to go.
I've never actually imagined how much close friends actually have an affect on your life. Though I definitely can wait until school starts back up again, I want to start leadership again and work on campus. I will be uber busy, but you know. It all depends, cause someone asked if I wanted to try out for the Choir at church. I was like sweet, but I have to wait, cause knowing my schedule, it will be busy.
Today at work was kind of horrible. I must admit, I really did want to punch some customers today. Everyone just seems to be angry all of sudden. But, being the employee I have to admit faults and say we're sorry. I was grateful for one lady though. She noticed I was being slightly crabby, and she asked for help and I did and that she said that she could notice I wanted to go home. Sometimes I have to keep myself from getting crabby and I like it when customers notice so I can not be so....well stupid sometimes.
ohhh and also I have happen to cut my arms alot with cardboard while loading desks into cars. Yeah.....it hurts, alot.
Well I have nothing really more to add to this journal of thought. Though I am very tired from work, extremely re- energized by friends. Good.
