more tattoo assassins hilarity
lincoln brewster's "what kind of man" sounds like a song "the violet burning" wrote and played; "the violet burning" is a christian alternative band my brother is quite fond of.

tattoo assassins
i've never laughed harder at a fighting game... and final fight revenge was pretty lol-able... enjoy the fatalities...

fyi, lincoln brewster's vocals sound slightly like chris tomlin's... you'd think it'd be him, if you weren't hearing the electric guitar fills that is signature lincoln brewster he was playing in between the lyrics...
(i love his "best of" cd... i've been listening to it nonstop this week so far; majestic is so far my favorite song on it, and i still regret not visiting his church while up in davis... yet)

i wish i would approach life the way i defend off the ball during basketball when i feel like i'm going to lock somebody down, give them close to 0 touches, close to 0 pts...
that revelation came to me today when i was contemplating why it is so hard for me to change my bad habits, my bad personalities, my laziness. and i wondered why God would not make it more specific how to change your bad habits in the Bible. write it down. if it were there, it would be so easy to just follow it.
well, part of it is because everybody is different; different in being motivated. i realize that i probably get more motivated over negative feelings more than positive feelings. that may not be the same for the next person. times and cultures change too. 2nd of all, i believe it's because i half-heartedly ask it in prayer. you pray, maybe have a plan figured out, but lack the mentality to see it through. i realize that just like how a great defender defends and locks down, it is part ability, part mental. you can have the longest wingspan in the world, the quickest feet, more hops and height than your opponent, it does not matter. if you don't come in with an INTENSE mentality that you are going to lock down your opponent, it will not happen. i realized the value of that mentality yesterday, and how it produced crazy results for me on the court, especially that last game.
today, i realized that it i wanted to change the areas that i felt were lacking in me as a Christian, it seriously would not be a bad idea to go into each area that needs work with that same type of mentality. how i'm going to be able to do this i have yet to figure out(how am i supposed to become less angry to others by being INTENSE?)
btw, i'm not really keen on this whole "new year's resolution" thing. not b/c it's not a good idea, but because you should be ALWAYS thinking of what you can do to improve yourself. i am not writing the above b/c this is close to the new year resolution time. but because the above came to me today.

i'm a prison in my house for about 6 days b/c of lack of health insurance. i dislike my mom for making me stay at home, but i really don't fault her for it; she did try to pressure me to get the forms finished on time so that my health insurance could begin as soon as possible and not be cut short, it was just that the post office was closed due to power outages when she went.
i do have things i can do that are in the house, i just don't exactly feel like doing a lot of them. like, cleaning my room, and taking some of my packed things out of phil's room, so i can finally set up my guitar and relearn it(i had a booklet + cd bought from guitar center that i never used on how to increase speed for lead guitar; it was written for metal players, but it was still a good thing; i eventually want to crack that out and go through it)
there's also writing a resume. and then actually starting on that whole novel thing i wanted to do.

verses that i want to memorize soon:
2nd thessalonians 3:14-15
1st timothy 1:18-19
both are really good. i think the 1st explains how you are supposed to deal with fallen brethren. be hard on them, but love them. most ppl tend to only do one. and forget the other. i would argue that most people in this afraid-to-hurt-others'-feelings-world do too much of the 2nd, but there are many who try to overcompensate by doing the 1st without the 2nd.
the 2nd is because i realized the value of faith and conscience going hand in hand. think about all those apologetics books, or the various bible research books i have read. these are all dealing with increasing your confidence, which is tied to your conscience. as it grows, so does your faith. you hear about bible skeptics asking bible experts what they thought when they examined the facts, they will often say their examining of them actually confirmed and increased their faith all the more.
