i'm pretty sure the iq test i took should've been a lot longer in content, giving me more chances to mess up, hence, the ridiculously high score; the one i took in college was a lot more accurate; i got like 137 or something on that one. i know i have an above-average iq(hence the taking 6th grade at miller jr. high, instead of regnart elementary school), but seriously, it can't be 150+; 150+ is genius level. like doogie houser m.d. level. like bruce wayne level. and i know i didn't just gain 13+ pts of IQ by doing nothing for 2+ years (uurrr did I?)

i hope shawn kemp does well in italy. really, i do.

i need to figure out how to take pictures with a digital camera better. retreat was the 2nd time that i took pictures and videos en masse, but i think i could've done a much better job.

my left fingers are really starting to look and resemble like a guitarist who has been spending a lot of time on his axe. my middle finger and ring finger especially; firmed up on the tips, and you see that skin is starting to peel off now. but i haven't touched my guitar yet, lol? i'm hoping that changes after this week. the combination of using the gripmaster with the caps on it, plus taking long showers did it. i was thinking of grinding on the gripmaster with the caps on my right hand, but i don't use the bass guitar. still, it might be useful, for when i play arcade games.

i really wished i recorded an .wav of the 1st praise session during retreat. the only song i felt i played during retreat where i was allowed to cut loose.
