| Well I have meant to update this more often, especially because I have
much to say. But of course I have put it off. I just have about 15
minutes between classes to kill, so we'll see what I get through. AJ's
B-day is coming up that is a big deal. Everyone come out (to his place
off just of Sawmill) and celebrate our future rebel (that is
revolutionary), future officer, future noble, future king, future
emporer of Zanzibar. As for me and my last update here is the news. I
have picked up a campus job, doing add jobs now and then for my father
as well. I am kicking rearend in chemistry thus far and think that
physics will be alright for a change. I dropped math like a bad habbit,
which I guess goes against the work and discipline I wanted/want. I
have lost about 7 pounds since that update and have started to lift for
the first time in like a year. That is good, though I have been eating
real well and should have lost more if I would have worked out more
regularly. That needs to change. I am spending a lot of time on WoW. It
is very fun, and I have a lot of friends on so I am not a lonely
loser. Since I have spent so much time on this game I do things
to insure it remains in its place. It would be pathetic if a videogame
became priority. I hate to even admit it, but I don't want WoW to
become an idol (for serious), so many times I make sure to either pray
or read the Bible before getting on. Also, lately I have decided when
questing by myself everything I fight I need to do a push up during the
fight. I am awful @ push ups right now, so I hope to get better. Well
there is an update on my life, oh Lord do not despise. Well at least
fix QUICKLY what is despicable in my life (all too many).
PS You may refer to Sae the wise as Sae the generous among his
many really impressive titles. Thanks again.

| Much to tell. Summer is upon me as I look ahead to school tomorrow morning. I am taking a full load of classes this Summer. Also, I am applying for work. I am 20 now, that means I ought to grow up abit. I need to mellow out, think through things, work hard, and most importantly have discipline. I can day dream, know how to do things, and talk about them; but I need to just do it. This is discipline, simply going out and doing. Here in lies the only way for me to grow up. I deeply want to work hard, now I just need the will to go through with this desire. Though I am sure there will be those in my life keeping me accountible, the tasks at handle are very much personal ones. What I see in the mirror isn't good enough, and it will be the hours, the work, the discipline, and the DECISIONS while no one is looking, no one else is around that will determine the success or failure of this Summer. True work, not glammerous, not overly religious, not this wishy washy suburbia college student lazy middle class no real problems making a big deal out of nothing scwoundering and taking for granted junk that is American culture. It's all so over the top, when all we really need is some personal responsibility, not the small stuff, gettiung our hands dirty, and being thankful for all we have.
I hope I win this Summer...
I have much to tell, but I am tired now, and that was the most pressing bit. More to come soon, thanks for reading and noticing me.

| So it is about time to update this nonsense.
Some notable things have gone down I guess. For one, while my roommates and I
were watching a dumpster ablaze in the ally behind our apartment a drunk came
up and asked us for directions. Upon giving him directions he waggled his
finger towards us in approval as he said, “You guys… you guys are on my
Christmas card list.” What a line! “You are on my Christmas card list”, I will
have to use that in the near future. Also, I got a boat load of sushi @ Tyfoon
(a high profile place in the arena district) with BMass and the AJ the Pinky
Ring Pack. We bought so much sushi it came out on a wooden ship. I pretty much
had a blast there, plus I saw Dan Kim with his women. Oh, and yes I will admit
I tried multiple girly drinks that were all fabulous
except for the blue dragon (or something like that) which was not that great.
Team Sesame Street
is 2-2 in intramural softball. Both our wins are due to the other team forfeiting.
We are not good, but we do have shades of adequacy. Well this has been
pointless, thanks for reading though. Hopefully the weather will be nice this week;
I really want to get outside more. Can you come out and play? Give me a call
for serious! One last note, I have been bitter and grumpy spiritually, talk to
God for me. Tell Him to show some grace. | | |

A few happenings in my life…
First, on a nerdy note I am reading the Fellowship of the
Ring for the ~7th time. That’s good information to know for those of
you out there interested in blackmailing me. Second, I really need to start
working out again; I am going to try to be a bit more active. Also I am going
to watch what I eat a bit better. Currently I am indulging in one final fly-pi
experience. Next, some of my good friends are or are about to be back in town.
Shout out to AJ (Hail Zanzibar), Chris (stalwart), Matt (I am the Voice), and Justin (O’Doule rules)!
Finally, here comes the fun part. For work this week I will have to be @
Campbell Hall early Thursday morning (before 7:30). To do what you ask? To sit in
a room alone for two hours and wait for 40-65 year old men to hand me their
ejaculation samples for our urology study. I may even get to centrifuge/separate
the semen from the fluid. I hope you readers are not too jealous that I will be
collecting samples that evening as well. | | |

Not really reading this book, but found it weird that my
mom's book is even on this thing. She gets an enormous about $5-$30 check
annually for it. Seriously, there is no money in teaching, though one fateful
year she got almost $50 I think.
One thought about me. This past week I was both sick and hurt. However, among
other things, I went to CCC retreat over weekend, played softball twice, and
basketball once. Though I was not 100 percent for any of these activities I did
them because of the simple joy they brought. I adore softball (baseball is my
first love, softball is similar and just plain fun) and keep God first. I faced
the consequences of my actions; physically there were times when I was down
right miserable. However, even when I was miserable the last thing I could do
was complain. Joy is such a simple thing when experienced and such a hard thing
to describe. For me it comes through things like watching the braves, playing
softball, and seeing my brothers lead worship together one last time. The joy I
have comes from delighting in the Lord and enjoying His creation. While I find
satisfaction in my toil and enjoy His creation greatly through playing a pick
up softball with friends, the joy that I had when miserable is what really sets
me apart. I realized this weekend that I am not afraid of suffering a bit
for something I love and know more than ever that if and when I suffer for the
gospel I will be full of joy. | | |
