oh great, got another letter implying that i've been selected for jury duty.

and this time, i'm not in college. i don't think having a job would've made a difference though. you have to go for jury duty regardless of having a job or not.

time restraints aside, i'm actually kinda looking forward to this. i'm just hoping the case doesn't take too long.

i wanted to post this up, but never got around to; in the hoop magazine of july/august 2007, here's a hilarious quote from stephen jackson:

"it's probably full. here's who's in it: mcdonald's, dominos, burger king, it was subway-but he pushed them out for cinnabon-and krispy kreme. ... maybe if dwyane wade opens a restaurant, he may have a chance."
-stephen jackson, explaining why dwyane wade can't get into charles barkley's fave five

i feel like crap everytime i come home in the evening, despite the fact that i don't ever really do anything in the daytime. maybe that's why it's been a while since i've posted anything long. i guess i should really think about them biotech temp agencies real soon.

i just wanted to point out one trivial thing i noticed during retreat:

some car cracked me up, because it was a license plate that said "native texan." which was all good... except it was on a yellow SCION.

there was some other trivial thing i wanted to say, but it was kinda lost on me as i was writing. no worries.

so retreat was good, i wanted to elaborate more, but the cold hard truth is this:

so hard to "take and apply" and do it every single moment, every single day. but if you don't, the message is lost, the salt, its flavor. the pearls? cast unto the swine.

"fingergrip" is awesome. i just recently picked it up again and toyed with it last night as i was watching some cartoons(not a bad idea at all; should try doing this more often). i'm thinking about getting the light tension version(blue; phil gave me the red one). i'm not practicing on the lead guitar just yet, but this is still very good for exercising those fingers. and building those calluses.

i'll post about them electric guitars(fender vg, etc) sometime up coming.
