priorites on the bare necessities of life according to me:
1)sleep
2)water(drink)
3)food
4)clothing
5)shelter
did i forget something? oh yeah, god should be #1, and everything else should be bumped down, heh heh.

jerm's fob-glish is so funny:
-scrap-nel
-da pim-pin
-milli-pitis

i love retreats
-------------------
me: ok, so grace can you play "in the secret" now?
grace: hold on, G...C... wait hold on, hold on!(frantically trying to position her small left fingers on fretboard) the C's coming!

so the saturday night around the campfire ppl were asking me for special requests, and i was bored, so i just started playing power chords while freestyling(remember my 1st entry?), and then everyone stopped, someone asked "what song is that?" and i said, "oh nothing; just made something up." *pause* "oh...hey, you're freestyling!"
------------------

dang; http://my.ucdavis.edu is down; at least the "myphone" part is.

hey the computer wallpaper's done! that's nice; 1 last thing to do knocked out of the way; actually, technically i didn't HAVE to do it, but it was something i wanted to do.

ah, the joys of power chords. and even greater is spreading the knowledge to your friends who want to learn about them. which i am going to do soon before i take off.

Proverbs 27:17; as iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens another
Downhere; there's something else that tells me so, i was not meant to walk alone, it sharpens me, to know we stand as one

haha; Double Dragon 3 for the NES is soo funny! the Lee bros' neutral nunchaku pose looks so hilarious! also, Chin(Se), haha.

how many of us would rather follow God in order for some self gain rather than just for the fact that it's right? i know many of us would either do what's right because:
a: we are afraid of the consequences of doing wrong(we don't want to get caught, therefore we stay on our side)
b: we want to be more god-like(this is somewhat wrong because Adam and Eve disobeyed God for the reason of wanting to be like God himself)
c: we want to get into heaven(the "what's in it for me" motive)
and there's nothing wrong with that; God WANTS us to follow him, not matter what our reasons are. but IMO, kudos to the person who follows God because he is right and that he wants to do right. i mean, c'mon, one person once stated, "the only reason Bill Clinton was sorry about Monica Lewinsky was because he was caught!"

we can never truly experience complete freedom in the view of the supernatural world by the bible; if we choose to disobey God, we gain freedom, but later pay for it by suffering the rest of our eternal lives. if we choose to follow him, we escape hell, but must serve God. mind you, it's not like God drags you around like a slave, but you do have a leader, and by that sense you aren't completely free. but take what is better.

God predicted that when his people entered the land that he would provide for them and when they had their fill and drank and were satisfied, that they would turn to other gods and disobey him. so while wealth isn't necessarily a bad thing, often times it causes you to lose focus on the most important thing.

ok, that's it; my mind's run blank; any more time spent thinking and i could churn out more thoughts, but i'd waste my internet time and my life(and i am no get-up-at-one-person). g'nite every1.
