| I walked the line
Left it all behind
I'd been waiting forever
Want to go back in time
So I could read your mind
But why should I be waiting
(Pre-Chorus)
And time still goes by
Hoping it's not my fault.
I tried to be perfect.
Tried to be honest.
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted.
I tried to be stronger.
Tried to be smarter.
Tried to be everything for you...
It's been so long
Since you've been gone
I used to wait up forever.
Used to say a prayer
Wishing you were there.
And I'm still waiting...
You told me once
You'd show up,
But I fell for that before
I fell to pieces
Then I woke up to no one
Just a picture of Jesus
And a heart left in pieces
(Pre-Chorus)
And time still goes by
Hoping it's not my fault.
I tried to be perfect.
Tried to be honest.
Tried to be everything that you ever wanted.
I tried to be stronger.
Tried to be smarter.
Tried to be everything for you...

| Future possibilities...Hey all, It was great to see most of ya at SSI...I'll try to get some of the couple hundred pictures I took while in the Media track somewhere for ya'll to see. Also, I have begun a myspace page under the name rcraycer. I don't plan on doing any blogging on there, but it is so much easier to upload photos onto myspace I think thats where I will put most of them. I'll try to keep em in proper albums and such... On another note, I need to decide soon when I plan to go to college. I can either have a fairly easy senior year and start next fall, or I can shift into overdrive and head up to Kettering (thats where I have decided to go) this winter semester insead. If you guys (and gals) could pray about this, I would really appreciate it. ttfn, -Chris | | |
| Here is what I have been up to the past month...not necessarily in chronological order.
I (or more accurately my brother) found this in a neighbors garbage
pile just waiting to be picked up and thrown away never to be seen
again...an electric scooter!
We nabbed it and I made it a personal project to get it running. It
needed some serious work, but nothing impossible. The batteries were
in decent shape, but there wasn't a key to turn it on. A little hard
wiring fixed that. Upon turning it on, the motor kicked in and I
almost had a hole in my wall with the silhouette of...well...an
electric scooter (go figure). After that, I disconnected the motor
until proper tests could be conducted.
I laid the orange towel you see in the picture on the floor of my room
and tore the scooter to pieces. It was quite rusty, so I called on the
power of scotch-brite and 3 gallons of Simple Green to clean 'er up.
The undercarriage was full of spider webs and more spiders than I could
count went crawling across my floor in an attempt to escape my cleaning
tirade. I am sorry to say none survived.
After cleaning, lubing, tightening, and re-building was complete, a
trip to radio shack was made in hopes of finding a suitable on/off
switch for the throttle. After hooking up the motor and battery, the
unthinkable happened; the magic smoke came out of the electronic module
that is supposed to control the throttle. Just so you know, magic
smoke is what make all electronics work. There is nothing precise or
mathmatical about electronic devices like computers and iPods...its all
in the magic smoke. If the 'magic smoke' comes out of anything, that
device is now useless. In other words, the thing went up in smoke and
now it won't work. Yet another trip to radio shack produced a heavy
duty automotive relay as a replacement.
After wiring everything, charging the batteries, and putting the cover
on it was time to run! or was it? both tires were flat...anybody
have any 200 x 50 tire tubes?
Over memorial day weekend we went on a trip up north to my grandparents log cabin with some friends.
The 'cook house' where the kitchen and dining table are located...sorry bout the bad pic.
The view from the shore looking up the river. Docks aren't allowed on
this river, but this one is so old it was grandfathered in.
30+ year old trampoline. It shimmies and shakes, but never breaks!
Fly fishing is the only form of fishing allowed on this river.
This bug wouldn't leave me alone. I finally gave up brushing him off me and he sat on my knee for a while.
We also drove our rc cars together. I, of course, pwnd everybody.
And now I leave you with another corny joke:
A rabbi, a priest and a pastor were all in a boat together fishing. The
pastor said to the others, "I think I am going to go over to that shore
and sit down." So, he gets out of the boat, walks across the water and
sits down on the shore.
Then, the priest says to the rabbi, "I think I
going to go over there to join him." So, he does the same as the pastor
and sits next to him on the shore.
The rabbi thinks to himself, "Well,
if they can do it, so can I!" So, he climbs out of the boat, but he
falls in the water.
The pastor says to the priest, "Do you think we
should of told him where the rocks were?"
