lamchops's Xanga

Hello! In reply to all my fans, I was sent a threatening email by Xanga that they would cancel my account if I didn't sign on to Xanga and post an entry (the last entry was a generic entry that "the Xanga team" made up for long lost xanga-ers who forgot how to blog). Apparently, my xanga name is much coveted; and if I don't show some activity, I was at risk of losing my account to another lamchops. Therefore, I am keeping my xanga so I can continue to spy into your lives and through daily subscriptions! -manny p.s. I wish I were as reflective on xanga as jurharm or thebigwang or soupbunnie. *sigh* I can't keep it up...

NO! I am not returning to XANGA. Just wanted
to share a little something something.

My SMS card is full. OUT OF MEMORY. So I
decided to clear out my text messages box.
I saved all the ones that are memorable. I will
list some that I think are universally funny:

Help me!! Stuck in a storage closet! :(

(Premise: I've been helping Dan quit smoking. For his
last pack, I gave him a weekly allowance of
1 Cig until it was all gone. For your information,
he's been off cigarrettes for a while. I hope.)

In Christ Alone by Stuart Townend and Keith Getty

In Christ alone, my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song.
This cornerstone, this solid Ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All, here in the love of Christ I stand!

In Christ alone! who took on flesh, fullness of God in helpless babe!
This Gift of love and righteousness, scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on the cross as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied.
For every sin on Him was laid, here in the death of Christ I live!

There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day, up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory, sin's curse has lost its grip on me.
For I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ!

No guilt in life nor fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me.
From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand.
Till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I stand!

just wanted to share this good hymn.

Hello dannylammy,

The information you requested is "poop".

Thank you,
The AOL ® Instant MessengerTM Team

Can anyone make any sense out of this? My 12-year old brother's AIM screenname is dannylammy, but how did this get sent to me???

Anyways, speaking of poop, eat your SALADS. Genuine Testimonial: I've started eating it on a regular basis at the Ratty--and my bowel movements have been better than ever!!!

wow. xanga has changed so much in the last 2 months. don't worry guys. im still alive. first 3 weeks of school, i didn't have internet in my apartment yet. Life felt so good without a computer. Then I was online for about 3 days. Then, my hard drive crashes. I borrow my sister's computer, and then I fry hers also. I am contemplating reverting back to my olden days of the desktop. Thinking about building my own computer. hrmm.... Prayer requests: I have been suffering from laziness and idleness lately--which includes idleness from xanga ;). I've been taking a light load in courses this semester, so I've been really relaxed with work--so much so that when I get work, I still chill and sometimes don't even do it. I haven't felt the urgency to work since last semester. There are weeks when I go into my PHOTO class, and not have ANY photos to display. My professor says, "That's not good." And it ISN'T good! What's wrong with me? Oh yeah, I haven't been in the CIT that much these days. There just hasn't been the necessity to it seems? WOV is GREAT! Living in my apartment is GREAT! Having a car for two days is GREAT! I wonder if my mom will let me have a car during med school? :(

I've been really learning alot in Pastor Eric's Worship Seminars. They're GREAT. I've learned that I really don't know how to worship. I've learned how self-centered I am during worship when it should be god-centered. Pray that we will be able to worship in spirit AND in truth, in dialogue and in offering, objective in god's revelation and subjective in ... something else. Of course, this is possible only through our mediator, our lord and savior jesus christ. I really hope people attend a worship seminar of this kind. It seems so necessary. I had so many misconceptions and misunderstandings. I wanted everyone to go. I finally convinced my friend mike to go. I had to lick a plate of Miller's dinner leftovers mixed with his leftover dessert and half a shaker of salt. I don't know what it consisted of exactly. I just remember it being REALLY salty with a hint of strawberry. Then I got diarrhea. However, Mike and I will be attending the workshop Sunday mornings at 1030. Praise God! :)

Man, xanga has been so distant. I think I am on the verge of quitting xanga.... gosh i can write so much when I am on the verge... what's happening with everyone's xanga lives? man, im too lazy to check. and since i've missed like two months of everyone's lives--it seems overwhelming to read now.

can i really quit?
to be continued....?

I want to devote my entry to one of the sexiest GQs I have ever met--Vincent "Manny's" Ho. I want to wish you a HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY! Three YBs have become men--two more to come! ;) Next time we meet up guys, let's go to Foxwoods or Mohegans! Vinny and Benny, we'll buy you some virgins ;) jk.

From Four Squares to Prison Ball to Big 2 to Smash Brothers to Risk to Starcraft to Texas Holdem. My, have we grown? I'll cherish the moments we talked about God, Girls, Guys. Thanx for always sharing with me man--about your relationships and about your life at college. I really appreciated that. We have something that alot of people wish they had. We grew up together!! You have definitely been a big part of my life! We went to church together! We applied to colleges together! We went through puberty together! We cracked our voices together! I remembered when we used to SHOWER together! (I don't know if you remember anymore. But I'll always remember. haha. yes, yours was teeny. jk. I don't remember that. ) As a result of that, you really helped me question my sexuality! And now, I am more comfortable about my sexuality than ever before!

I just want to say Thank You Vinny. Thanks for really appreciating me and respecting me. Thanks for taking the time to think about me from time to time! Thanks for just being a chill guy! Thanks for being my friend finally. You punks weren't my friends till like late junior high or something. (I was so lonely :( ) Anyways, there's no need to cry about the past. (yes, cry!) Today is your day! I love you man! Save a shot for me! YB forever ;) (haha, we're such dorks! I can't believe we're actually YB! haha How did it happen? We need to write up the history of the YB.) Not only are we brothers in the YB, but we're also bros in Christ! And for that I am truly thankful! Now THAT is forever!

I would take a bullet for any of you guys--in the leg or something with alot of morphine and/or heroine.

(I would have posted pictures, but I just reformatted my computer and I saved all my pictures on Silly Paul's external hard-drive. Silly Paul.)

Thank you God for showering us with your blessings! Rejoice, Rejoice. And again, I say rejoice! Thanks for saving my bros.

Look up at the sky tonite. Southeastern part of the sky! and Tell me what you see! :D Once in a lifetime opportunity! Well, for the next few weeks... God's natural wonders. beautiful!

http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/08/27/mars.closeup/index.html

On that note, who here lines their toilet seats at a public bathroom? I do. If you don't, then that's gross. It's like my dirty cheek touching your dirty hairy cheek. (I guess this principle applies to sharing drinks and my lip touching your lip? Well, I actually don't mind sharing drinks, but bowel excrements?! that's a different story.) Anyways, I am at the research lab in RI Hospital--well, in the bathroom. I do my business. You do your business. I pull up my pants, and I am about to flush my... stuff, when I noticed that one side of my lining is gone. disappeared! Where did it go? Maybe as I was wiping, it was pulled in? It probably just fell into the toilet. Ahh wellz. I look at the ground. Yup, it fell in. It had to. It's not on the seat. I turn around--it's not on the ground. Case closed. Case of the Missing Sheets of Toilet Paper solved. I was content enough. Besides, it was getting stinky. I flush. Wash. Powder my nose. Pop a zit, and off I go.

It's great working in a lab where the majority is women. jk. (Yeah, why is this lab all women? The top research guy is a man too. Seriously 90% women! Strange...) They're all older than me anyways, so don't worry guys: I'm not stumbling. They're not my type. But it's great; the men's bathroom on this floor has to be one of the cleanest bathrooms in the northeast.

Girls snickering. They wave. I wave back--wow, they seem so happy to see me. Little did I know.... Well, I was in the process of showing my boss and my fellow intern, Dan, the results to the data of my last experiment, when Dan asks, "What is that for?" He points and smiles.

What he was pointing at were the missing sheets of toilet paper!!! AHHHHHH!!! They were hanging out of my pants the WHOLE TIME! AHHHHHH!!! AHHHHH!!! It wasn't in the toilet. It wasn't on the floor. It was hanging out of my pants! AHHHHHH!!! Boy, that was embarrassing. I look towards the happy girls I waved to before. They're looking at me and laughing! My face was FLUSHED. AHHHHH!!! I can never show my face in this lab again! Thank goodness. This is goign to be my last week--and then off to Brown I go. Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's off to Brown I go!

My sister is back in the States! Thank God! Is she really back? I get back from my friends house late at night. She's probably in her bed sleeping. Her door is closed. How do I know she's really home? I don't want to open the door and wake her. In the bathroom, I see her Noxzema cleansing cream. Yup, she's home! :D Welcome home Juliza.

On a side note, I am supposed to take my urine samples at 3 hour intervals for twenty four hours for a lab experiment I am working on. I fill the test tubes near to the brim with my urine and keep them in the freezer for preservation. I forget that water contains mostly water--and water FREEZES! Oh boy! What a mess in the freezer. My mother is not going to put food in the freezer ever again. What sucks even more is I have to pee all over again ;) Back to the drawing board....

My Sassy Girl was then. This is now: I watched My Tutor Friend yesterday with Vinny, Benny and Paul. (Oh my, you were right Dan. At some angles, Kwon Sang Woo does look like me! esp his smile and his profile. I couldn't help noticing the whole movie.) Today I watched Classic with Vinny and James. Tomorrow is Madeleine. What great Korean movies!
