for the sake of it
so earlier today i had something on my mind that i thought would justify being put into word on this page. but then i was thinking if it would be writing just for the sake of writing. i know that writers suffer the dreaded writers block. it is pretty much when you try writing for the sake of writing, but the most beautiful writings always come from a spur of the moment feeling from the soul. it just starts flowing. your mind just lets go of inhibition and the words are born.
words are an interesting part of our lives. they can be used to build or destroy. they can be silenced or projected. words have power, and the heart determines the intent.
writing for the sake of writing is almost a waste. its ideas forced by the mind that do not translate well on to paper or into conversation. words of man are useless. we are nothing but vessels. what we put in us is what we can project. that is where our words come from. so our words can be used in many ways depending on where our heart is.
Matthew 12:33-35
Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit. You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

what defines you being different from me
being better than me
what gives you the right to think that you can control what i do
what defines us as enemies
hating each other for no good reason
waging wars that were started by wanting to control what i do
you're no different from me
you bleed
you cry
you hurt
you sing
but something defines us
you just dont have it

Sorry, I've been kinda busy.
Ok, so I haven't really thought about doing this in awhile. Been preoccupied with stuff. Anyways, I'm gonna drop that dumb Pepsi Coke thing seeing how I would have to drink the stuff to do it. Kinda hard since I swore off soda for the time being.
So if anyone still checks this out, Hi.

There is something in the fries
So I was leaving work yesterday, and I went to grab some McDonalds before leaving. So as I'm walking back to my car with food in hand, a homeless person asked me for some money for food. I stopped dead in my tracks and told him I had no change, like that's all that he deserved. Then I offered him my pie that I had gotten with my meal. There I was sitting with a meal in a bag that I could've done without, and I offer an apple pie.
So I get to my car, get in and I just there thinking. I actually had the perfect opportunity to show Christ through me, but I guess McDonalds is so much more important than Christ. What makes me even more disgusted with myself is that I debated in my head for a few minutes. Finally I realized what an idiot I was and went back to find him, but he wasn't there. After that I couldn't really eat the food.
I'm pretty much a moron, but I will hopefully have better judgement in the future.

Here is to the imagination
I want a name, age and event.
Just humor me, please. To all 2 of you that read this that is.
Just humor me, please. To all 2 of you that read this that is.
Ok, this may not make sense, I just let go and started typing
As I sit in this room not knowing what to write, yet wanting to express something so enormous, I begin to lose my head. Into vast meanings of words spoken by those I love, deciphering every event my mind goes on and on. Treading like vessel on the open sea. Life's meaning still remains something of a mystery, yet the mystery seems almost solved. Yet each day brings a new addition to this mystery. Words that are said, feelings that are had takes the mind into a new layer of an unknown.
So much to be said yet it can't be said. So much to experience but it will never happen. Life has a yes and a no. If both were to exist, it would be havoc. They come and go until you meet that one. When they come the no's will be that of a distant memory. What was once hell is then heaven. Then, what you have to be said can be said, and the life can start that experience.
If two paths are going the same direction, they can flow together. But two live will not work if they are going two different ways.
Here's to lives lived.

Didn't end the way we hoped, but it wasn't bad
Yes, The Lakers were awful tonight. Does that mean they suck? No, I believe the official teams that suck are the Clippers and the Heat. The Lakers got all the way to the finals. When the year started we weren't suppose to be there. When we lost Bynum we weren't suppose to be there. But guess what, we got there. We proved that we were number one in the west. But we were not ready for a championship. They were bigger, stronger, and wiser. We're still a young team, with room to grow. Next year will be a fresh start, granting if the majority of the team is still around. Division champs isn't something to scoff at. Not like the Patriots loss at the Super Bowl this year. *shudders* So remember, the Lakers had a really good year. They didn't suck. They didn't shine well at the end, but they didn't suck this year.

50!!!!
So this makes post number 50 for me. Let me inform you of what this means. Are you ready?
Absolutely nothing!
So tonight is a gospel choir show at work. I'm directing the video for it. What makes the job hard is that there is only one camera guy, 3 cameras and no com! It makes for an interesting time. I thought that the days of Shepherd video productions were interesting. hahahaha
So at some point I think I'm gonna hit the microwaveable goodies in the vending machine room. Anyway, peace out peeps!

Laterz homies.

So it has been quite awhile
A lot of things have changed since I posted last. My best friend got married, I got to go to Disney Land for the first time in 8 years, I was shot in an uncomfortable spot in paintball, and I took a huge leap of faith and left the nest into the crazy world of Hollywood. I will tell more later, got to get started on stuff.
*Update*
Ok, so I now work at a school called Musician's Institute. It is located in Hollywood, on Hollywood and Highland. The heart of it all. Today is my second full day, and my forth total. It is definitely different from Porter Ranch. There are tourist, homeless people and crazies everywhere. Heck, yesterday at lunch Batman walked into to McDonalds. So anyways, I'm still waiting to see how I am going to adjust. Hours are really different, yet not so much. I guess staying at Shepherd from morning til night, even on days where I wasn't working, got me use to that. I just don't have my best friends here. : /

Ok, I thought this was awesome
Found this story on Daily News.
The most worrisome thing about the widespread air-conditioning outage at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday wasn't that it inconvenienced travelers on a record-hot day. It's that a single squirrel could do so much damage without even trying.
LAX is the world's fifth-busiest airport, with about 60 million passengers passing through last year. And for as long as a few hours, some terminals were left without air conditioning - all because a squirrel came into contact with a Department of Water and Power distribution transformer.
Clearly it's time to start screening the critters more carefully - full-body X-rays, shoe removal, the works.
Because if, in this age of heightened security, a rodent can wreak havoc at a major airport, well, that's just nuts

They're people too...

So Sen. Edward "Ted" Kennedy, was diagnosed with the worst kind of brain cancer today. He was diagnosed with malignant glioma. Supposedly the survival rate is very slim. Up to half of the people with it die within the first I believe. More info here
My main point is this. I am not the biggest fan of Ted Kennedy, but we need to pray for him and his family, that God's will will be done, prayerfully through healing so that he may truly understand and find God in this difficult time, and that He may be glorified. We see politicians on TV all the time and view them as money hungry vultures, but they are still human. Which is why we should pray for the leaders of our country, whether we like them or not.

Hello!
Sorry been awhile.
Well the past week has been interesting. So many things going on. Anyways, got some new musica, and I think I've recovered from watching Iron Man three times. Next is Narnia, then Dr. Jones!
So the Beatles video I'm going with isn't really a video. Just the song.
HELTER SKELTER!!
So yeah, been listening to The Beatles like crazy, but finally something new has come out. New Death Cab album sounds good so far. Anywho, that is all for now.

Umm...can we rethink this
Tuesday, May 6, 2008
OWW!!!
I just just burnt my tongue! Oh boy this won't be fun for the next week. And another thing, why does everyone on Hells Kitchen smoke? I thought that the anti-smoking movement has made such big strides in its crusade of taking away ones freedom. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of smoking, but the last time I checked it was a free country and we have the freedom to do things such as: smoke, curse, making certain comments or express our beliefs without having corporate America and whack job politicians and celebs hounding us down for being terrible human beings! Ok, now granted smoking is not good for you, cursing make you look illiterate and you will often hurt people with ill intent words. But really, that is not for the government or Brad Pitt to watch over. It is up to the people that are being affected to make change. The people who make 4 to 5 figures, the people who work 5 days a week from 9-5. The Lowercase People. So that is what my shirt means. It's people who help make a difference in the world without having the platform of fame, fortune or power.
So that's my little soap box statement for the day.
Also, now having seen Iron Man three times now, I can safely say that the reason the movie industry is slipping is because of the crappy theaters. I can guarantee you that if at least the concession prices go down, you will see an increase in numbers.
That is all.

Sadness has fallen
So way too many things have been happening. I won't getting my new car any time soon. It died!
Anyways, rough weekend. Went home earlier than usual on Sunday. It was nice. Recorded a song that I was actually quite pleased with. Anyways, I'm gonna start saving for a newer 240sx or a Civic Si. Oooh Si. *drool* OH! Or a GTI!

And it continues!
The never ending fight against what I assume is pollen or ragweed of some sort, continues. Eyes burning, nose running, this suck, because I don't ever remember getting allergies this bad. AAAGGH!
So, in light of me missing my cousins birthday, I took her out to lunch today and got to hang out. We never get to hang out so it was fun. Just like the good old days.
So yeah, I'm watching an episode of Scrubs and I'm totally feeling JD's pain. Ironic we have the same initials. Just the D in his name is actually his last name, and mine is my middle name. That would be weird if everyone started to call me JD. Eesh. OH COME ON! Now I'm all itchy! Grrrr....ooo! I saw fireworks tonight! I totally thought there were bombs going off, and thinking it was the end of everything we know, but it was just a grand opening. Ugh...iHop commercial. Makes me wanna puke....now I want a Cactus Cooler.
So welcome to the most random blog I've written. lol
Well technically it is Friday, so I will put a new Beatles video up.
Peace you wonderful ones and zeroes!

Been a few days
So I had a somewhat hectic Sunday, and an eventful Monday, and just a plum lazy Tuesday.
So Sunday is the normal deal. Church, all day! Monday went out to Simi for Shepherd's golf tourney to film that. Needless to say got sun burnt, sun baked and sun fried. Tuesday went on a little stroll through town, which was quite refreshing until I had to go back home. That was the painful part. Then I locked myself away at home missing my cousin's birthday because I didn't have my car. Sorry cuz. :(
So I played games most of the day at that point.
And today, got up early, had a staff breakfast, doing some work and waiting for Ben to go to lunch.
There you have it folks.
That is if more than two people read this.

A Violent Reaction
In life, things are said about one group or one person, which is then answered a with a defensive response. The response is often time a backlash of anger and offense. Even when what was said is true. We don't stop to think about what was said, looking at ourselves to see the wrong.
I think the church is that way. We often react with anger to those who need grace. I think the church loses some credibility when the petitions start flying and the picket signs start flowing. Granted we should stand up for what we believe, but I think we should look at how we do so. We have removed ourselves so far from the world outside our buildings with steeples, that there is no influence in the communities. How does it look to those outside of the church when we react with a hateful protest or a distant, I don't want to get my hands dirty, petition?
The church has lost whatever influence it once had. We as a body seem to have lost what the first church had. When faced with opposition, they proceeded in faith not once complaining. They continued to make disciples of lost.
In 1966 I think it was, John Lennon confronted the church with a challenge, a rightful challenge at that, that his band was more popular than Jesus. He wasn't saying that his band was better, but that people were more concerned with The Beatles than with Jesus. And then the church reacted the wrong way. Instead of looking at the situation and seeing that they weren't serving each other as brothers and sisters in Christ, they lashed out with a witch hunt. This still goes on today. Our gadgets and wealth is more popular than Jesus. What we wear is more popular than Jesus. OUR ideas are more popular than Jesus. Celebrities are more popular about Jesus. Dare I say, we view ourselves more important, by how we live.
So instead of condemning the condemned, let us look at ourselves for once and realize that we need grace, as much as they do. I think Christian America is full of spoiled brats. Instead of complaining, show love.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Duuuuude
So yesterday was fun for the most part. After work went to a surprise party for two good friends of mine and I think I went insane while I was there. I remember at one point holding interviews with the Rockband mic. So yes, between that and actually playing the game, I am sure some sanity was lost. I wish I had some pics from the shin-dig.

Feel like dropping everything and leaving
All relationships, all contacts, everything, I just want to drop everything, leave and start over somewhere else. I'm just tired of everyone around me. I feel like I'm being taken for granted. Just done with all of it.

The reason why the Empire fell
"I knew there would be something wrong with the new batch of clones." said Admiral Piett, captain of the Super Star Destroyer
So this was the craziest Sunday
So much like the Saturday where the truck almost didn't work, today was the same.
The switcher in the truck had a power supply problem, with no fix in sight. We almost had to run the service from the back of the sanctuary. But the genius that is Paul Cracium, managed to stabilize the power supply and Steve got the replacement for it, so all was good.
It was kind of fun though. There is a kind of high I get from high stakes situation. Not a bad day. Yesterday was pretty crappy, but today was good.

Ugh
So we're out of the house we were staying at. First time in like 2 weeks since I had to get up this early on a Saturday.
Bah! *sobs*
So went down to LA yesterday for a WeSC warehouse sale. Dropped some bills on some threads, but it's a bargain for what you get.
Want to start a new project soon. Have to think about it though. I think it will be fun.

5+5=?
How does someone go though life planning everything ahead of time. I guess it's good to set goals and what-not, but to come up with a plan and try and live by it? I guess I grew up with too much uncertainty in my life to actually commit to a plan that is longer than 3 weeks. It seems like everything I ever planned on got disrupted.
Yup, didn't plan on failing 7th grade
Didn't plan on losing almost everything when I was 16
Didn't plan on working at church
Didn't plan on playing an instrument
Didn't plan on a lot, yet things seem to fall into place.
So I need a plan I guess. I have a vague image of what I want within 5 years. A job I can enjoy each day, a wife, the possibility of kids, a decent place to live (for Cali standards). But what I can't bring myself to do is come up with freaking details. Settle for stability, or live on the edge? I don't know which I am called to. I don't know what decision I need to make.
I don't know how to go about it. I hate thinking too much about what is to come, yet I would be irresponsible if I didn't have something planned. Life is the ultimate time bomb. You only have so much time until in blows.

Ok, so I'm a moron
So today, I went down to Westside Shepherd to have lunch with my dear friend Danny Furukawa. So I drove over the hill, battled with traffic and finally got there. Went to the office and boom, it hits me. Where the crap are my keys? My iPod occupied the pocket where I keep my keys. So I frantically check my remaining four pockets in shear terror. Then I realized what I had feared. I locked my keys in my car!
I felt sooooooo stupid. So I decided I would worry about it after lunch. So we had pizza and a long talk about church and life. I missed having that guy around. So we went back to the office, pull in and my buddy Marty (who also works at Westside) had been trying to get the keys out of my car the whole time we were at lunch! I felt so bad, and yet I felt appreciative.
It's great knowing that people care about you.
Anyways. I feel bad. Haven't been posting much. It's mainly because I don't have that great of an access point where I'm staying right now. I will post more this week.
OH! And never watch The Mist! Sooooooo incredibly stupid. It was a crappy ending, crappy middle and an even crappier beginning. The ending was suppose to be sad, but I started laughing. I may be a heartless person for that. O_o

Anyways. I feel bad. Haven't been posting much. It's mainly because I don't have that great of an access point where I'm staying right now. I will post more this week.
OH! And never watch The Mist! Sooooooo incredibly stupid. It was a crappy ending, crappy middle and an even crappier beginning. The ending was suppose to be sad, but I started laughing. I may be a heartless person for that. O_o

Lord of Lords
I absolutely love this song. It just pulls the strings of my heart. Ok, so I'm being some what reflective today.
Life, Love and Peaches

Wow, it's been a few days since I last posted something. Where to begin? It seems like each day this week has been crazy busy. Even on my days off, it has been crazy. Life is crazy, love is jacked up, and peaches, they're fuzzy.
It's interesting how life just takes you over. It seems like a race that you can't hold your own in. It's lap 150 out of 200, you're a lap down in the middle of the pack. What are you going to do?
I often times feel like I'm a lap down. Busted quarter panel, been in the pits a few times during caution laps. Race ends, what now? Load up and get ready for next week. That's the thing, one race can't let you down. Just like one day shouldn't let you down. Even if day after day you feel like you can't get there, you still suit up and race. Paul says this in Philippians, "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Michael Waltrip is the little brother of a NASCAR great, Darrell Waltrip. Darrell was a 3 time Cup champ, with 84 wins. Michael's career has been as stellar, but Michael still goes out there and races. He has had many difficult races, but still looks for that win.
February 18, 2001, Daytona Beach Florida, the last lap for Michael Waltrip seemed to be the greatest ever. His team mate behind him, his owner coaching them along the way. The thing is, his owner and dear friend, Dale Earnhardt was driving behind Michael in third place. Then it happened. His owner and dear friend was involved in a crash. That day, February 18, 2001, Dale Earnhardt passed away.
Did Michael quit from there? No, even though he still hasn't had a stellar career, he still races looking for that win, that goal.
Thus should be life. Don't dwell on what brings you down, but press on towards your goal. Live, Love and eat Peaches.

It's just a moment, this time will pass
Sometimes in this crazy life that feels like it's flying through time, comes this sudden moment where everything just shatters. What was once speeding by you seems to have frozen still. Words now repeating over and over. Actions being viewed as an instant replay. Deja vu had nothing on this. You seem to stuck in time. What is weirder is when it happens to a group, a family, a team. Something so shocking that you are left wondering, what next?
History has recorded it time and time again. Some old enough to remember, others learn about it through teachings. But no matter what, everyone will feel it. Sudden death of a loved one, the loss of something big, or the point where one feels like there is no reason for living.
It happens. Life happens. No matter who you are life goes on. People come and people go. Relationships start and relationships end. Tragedy happens and people rebuild. Though there is still that moment, that moment that replays over and over.
If we stay in the moment, what will become of us? We will look back and realize that staying there was a tragedy in of itself.
Live life, love life, never stop moving.

Like, wow
Today was a crazy day to be the one writing.
So like the past 9 of 10 Saturdays, I've had to be at church early. 8:30 to be exact! So my class ends and I go to the studio because I had virtually no time to go and grab lunch. So, I check my emails to see the I had a guy call in sick. From there I get on the horn and call whoever I could think of at the time. No contact from anyone, then I find out that our video truck was on the verge of melting. So I was down a guy with a back up plan I wasn't thrilled with, a video truck that wasn't working and then a grumbly tummy that needed food!!! So things resolve themselves. We start the truck back up, I got a crew, some food in the tum-tum, got the service rolling, we finish it up. Start to think about what to do for the next one when I hear the news. Video service for 6:30.
You don't understand, this Sunday is all video at Shep Shep. We knew this the whole week. So we planned of running out TV mix at 6:30. What we didn't know until 3 minutes after the sermon was over and going into communion was that Dudley wasn't feeling well and that he wasn't going to preach at 6:30!
This means I've got nothing! We never cut at 5:00 because we need to get the first service down for HD and the plants. So I was left out in the cold today.
ACK!! So yeah, just need to get that off my chest.

Friday's Antics
So Friday was a great day. I had quite a time trying to connect to Wi-Fi most of the afternoon. But seriously though, Friday was pretty awesome. Stephen attempted the Solid Snake way of getting around without being seen. Take a look for yourself.
Movies!
So last night I went to go see Leather Heads with a couple of friends. It was a really cool movie. It did a good job of setting the mood of the 1920s. I had some issues with it though. There were a few characters that weren't developed very well. I was left assuming a lot about a few of the characters. But all in all, it was a fun movie. I think it deserves a good 7.5 of 10.
Also with in the day, I got my new Mac Book. Good times.

Today
Ok, so today I find out the Dual Shock 3 comes out this week! I also found out that nothing seems to make sense anymore. Then I found out that my laughing at an inside joke that only I can understand without the presence of two certain friends, does not end well. Then on top of all that, I totally thought Dustin and I were gonna get killed tonight.
Who do people think they are, approaching complete strangers and trying to impose their will on you.
So these two losers wanted a ride from us outside of Carl's. Their destination, a 10-15 minute walk! Yet they practically almost forced their way into the car. So I thought they were gonna pulled a piece on us. Between this and my bomb scare, I could qualify to be in the rap industry. lol
Oh and I am addicted to Coke Zero!
Well, hopefully I can get my new Mac Book this week.

So I stumbled across some old stuff on YouTube, and found my all time favorite cartoon intro. Just felt like putting it up.

BOMB SCARE!!!
So last night I was chillin with my home boy Sam at the Topanga Mall. We browsing through stores I got a new Dodger hat, then we go to the food court to eat and notice that for some reason stores are starting to close. So we think nothing of it and keep on walking until we see the food court. I was disappointed at this point because everything was closed. Split second thought was that this was the lamest mall ever, closing at 8:30. Then the officer told us to head back the other way, they were evacuating the mall. So since Topanga goes in a giant circle, we were confused on how to get out. So, I asked another officer how to get out, and then asked what was happening. He then told us the way out and informed us that it was indeed what Sam was joking about, bomb threat.
So everyone was booking out of the mall. Tires screeching, people running. It was pretty crazy.
So, that was my night last night.

Falling frozen water
So this weekend was a weekend of firsts. I saw snow fall for the first time ever. I felt fresh snow for the first time ever. Then I got to lead a small group for the first time in a long time.
So this weekend was one that was needed. Even though I got to play music, worship God and play games all weekend, the best part of it was talking to a group of guys I had never really met before about the nights lesson. These guys were awesome young men, and I'm thankful for the time I had with them.
Then there was the snow. Snow ball fights are so fun. hahaha
So from the constant complaining of Ian that Seinfeld was too loud, to the constant consumption of soda and cocoa, this was the best weekend in a long time!
Peace

my heavy kid vs my light kid
My oh so wonderful kids....if you don't know what I'm referring to, it's my basses.
I am currently playing both of them this weekend at winter camp. I love the difference in the two of them. It makes playing that much more fun.
Anyways, snow is on the ground. Haven't seen any falling yet. Been playing video games most of the days.
Gotta go pizza is here.

Striving to be different
People go to some odd lengths just to be outside of "the norm". But in some sense they are still within a group. Individuality is not about what is on the outside. I see numerous amounts of people trying to be somebody by trying to dress or look a certain way.
What the heck? You are not define by your looks.
That is all for now.

I doubt you will ever see this
What to do when you don't know what is going on anymore.
Life gets so crazy. It feels like everything around you is in fast forward and you're in the middle watching it fly.
What was the point of the creation of this blog? I guess I need some kind of outlet.
