ultimate time-waster

I was recently told about this website (stumbleupon.com) that just might be the most effective way to waste time ever. Once you sign up, you personalize your account by checking off things that interest you. Once you're done, you install a toolbar to whatever web browser you use (Internet Explorer... Firefox... Safari).. and then you simply click the button that says "Stumble!"... and it finds random sites around the internet that it thinks you would like. If you like the result, you click the thumbs up button. If you don't... thumbs down button. The more you give it feedback this way... the more accurate it is with finding random sites that you'd find entertaining.

I just clicked stumble on mine... and this is what it found












I've had it find web sites dedicated to cute fuzzy animals, random internet games, weird illusion pictures, internet cartoon shorts (just found me one of a giraffe in quicksand.... ??? lol)... and so much more

Check it out if any of that made sense.... and prepare to be amused

life's waiting to begin

i love looking forward to what the future has in store, seeing events & circumstances set into motion that will only continue to get better with each passing day. anything from fun personal interests... to more in-depth lifelong investments

-the knowledge that warm(er) weather isn't all that far away

-the midnite showing of Watchmen next week @ AMC 24

-anything/everything with LCM (liberty college ministry) leading up to our first mission trip in May (Toronto here we coooome)

-seeing God's handiwork in the timing & little details that all fell into place in a way that only He can orchestrate, in terms of how a relationship's groundwork should be handled

-the Bamboozle fest 2009 w/ Zach B & anybody else game to join on May 2nd & 3rd (2-day concert festival in New Jersey)... Fall Out Boy, Third Eye Blind, No Doubt, and sooo many more

-the preparation & steps being taken to secure my transfer to LU in the fall, and trusting God with housing/job/smooth-transfer of credits/etc etc

-trips & vacations this spring/summer with people that mean the most (GA w/ Mary & her mom, OBX day-trips, traveling to inevitable concerts in Richmond/DC/Maryland, possible trips to DC & NYC, and who knows what else!)

its cold... its warm! its cold....

It really surprises me that all the shifts & changes in weather weren't the cause of me getting sick these past 2 weeks or so. As much as I'd like to say "I'm used to the random unpredictability of VA weather"..... I'm just not. I had finally reached the point of being content with the colder weather a couple weeks back, when the 70-degree weather hit us for a few days.. and WHAM! Immediately discontent with the cold, and yearning for nothing but warmer spring weather. Now here we are again today... 67-degrees out right now... and I want to enjoy it, but I know it won't last. Ohhhh the dilemmas of living in Virginia..... and yet I love it. I wish it would just get to around 75-80 degrees... and stay there.

What weather do you prefer?

something to aspire to

summer 2009.... hmmm.....

drowned out by the sound

sorry for the lack of posts lately... i think i apologized in the last entry too. everythings been fever-pitch-busy lately with work/friends/church/etc. i definitely kept up with staying busy while sick.. so as to force it outta my system. i'll post more later, just felt like dropping a quick update

time for a breather

As you may have noticed, my posts haven't been as frequent lately (my deepest & most sincere apologies). I've been mildly sick since last week, and yet for whatever logical reason.... I've kept myself busier than normal with work, ultimate frisbee, running, x-box game nights, and various other occasions. I think it's my way of saying "HEY, sickness! you can't controoooool me!"... and I try and force it into remission by being on-the-go more than usual. It seems to have worked, because all that's left is very light sniffles. I only took medicine once last week... so I guess my approach is rather effective.

How do YOU react to being sick?

p.s. i would probably not use the same method of cold-treatment if this had been anything beyond the common cold that's been going around.... haha

Rock Band = Karaoke 2.0

I spent my Valentine's Day with plenty of relaxation, Tropical Smoothie, and X-Box system link fun with some highly amusing people. What'd you do?
