promo776: AMEN!!!!

promo776: AMEN!!!!
you are not a gentleman
If you don’t,
you are not a man

If you praise her,
she thinks you are lying
If you don’t,
you are good for nothing

If you agree to all her likes,
you are a wimp
If you don’t,
you are not understanding

If you visit her often,
she thinks you are boring
If you don’t,
she accuses you of double-crossing

If you are well dressed,
she says you are a playboy
If you don’t,
you are a dull boy

If you are jealous,
she says it’s bad
If you don’t,
she thinks you do not love her

If you attempt a romance,
she says you didn’t respect her
If you don’t,
she thinks you do not like her

If you are a minute late,
she complains it’s hard to wait
If she is late,
she says that’s a girl’s way

If you visit another man,
you’re not putting in “quality time”
If she is visited by another woman,
“oh it’s natural, we are girls”

If you kiss her once in a while,
she professes you are cold
If you kiss her often,
she yells that you are taking advantage

If you fail to help her in crossing the street,
you lack ethics
If you do,
she thinks it’s just one of men’s tactics for seduction

If you stare at another woman,
she accuses you of flirting
If she is stared by other men,
she says that they are just admiring

If you talk,
she wants you to listen
If you listen,
she wants you to talk

In short:

So simple, yet so complex
So weak, yet so powerful
So confusing, yet so desirable
So damning, yet so wonderful… ….WOMEN

School Tomorrow

School starts tomorrow at CSUF and I’m just not ready to go. I’m hoping that things will be better this year than last, but I doubt that there is any way it could ever compare to BYUI. I wish I was going back there, but I don’t think realistically that is going to be an option anymore. I could always reapply, but I think if business gets going I’m probably not going to want to leave…

Going to be taking some fun filled classes this semester…
Calculus…
Business Writing…
Intro to Political Science… (sounds like a class I was going to take at BYUI before deciding I wouldn’t need it!)
and either:
World Cinema or World Religions (not sure of the exact titles of the classes).

I failed to order my parking permit early this semester (I guess in my hope of somehow not going) so I’m going to have to get there tomorrow, park way at the other end of campus where the daily permit machines are and then stand in a really long line just to get a stupid parking permit… Then I’ll still have to deal with getting books and going to all of my classes in a nice 8 hour block! Maybe I’ll get lucky and they’ll have internet in the classes, or maybe, just maybe, the classes will actually be interesting enough where I won’t be looking for internet…

I am looking forward to the drive though. Hopefully I won’t hit much traffic and hopefully I can start keeping in touch again with people and get some good “alone” time in too.

Didn’t get all the things I was hoping to get done today done, and didn’t make it to church either. I was hoping to at least make it for sacrament, but ended up going to the school to deal with helium tanks and then going to GT to help Richie figure out a problem with the sound system.

Well, I’m going to bed now… still missing Idaho…

Mercy Me – Homesick

Mercy Me – Homesick LYRICS
You’re in a better place, I’ve heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I’ve rejoiced for you
But the reason why I’m broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place
Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
I’ve never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don’t understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I’ll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I’m still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place
Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
I’ve never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I’ll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home’s where my heart is then I’m out of place
Lord, won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won’t you give me strength to make it through somehow

I’ve never been more homesick than now

Little behind

OK, so Lauren pointed out today that I’m a little behind in updating. Others have said it too — she was just the one today. I’m not even really sure what has been going on lately.

The last couple days I’ve been working at the Bob. Tonight we’re doing the final show of Best Foot Forward’s dance show. Batch running video and lights, Pyro on lights, Promadanna on the rail, Floate on the spotlight and me pretending to run the joint. Chad is also around, but he isn’t really here… He just has no life, or just wants to hang out with his mistress.

District IT came down and told me that they are taking over the marquee and the website. Thought about fighting it for a while, but then decided that this will probably be a good thing. It will probably mean less time each month, but will be nice to not have to deal with one more thing that I have to do each night when I get home. So I’ve stopped doing both now, but so far haven’t seen the district actually do anything. Anyone have any suggestions for what to do with the extra iBook i now have?

School starts Monday. Hopefully this semester will be better than my last semester at Fullerton. I would love to be going back to Idaho, but that sure isn’t going to be happening.

Been doing a lot of work for CBC lately. Working on contracts, getting new dealerships, duplicating and all sorts of stuff. There just isn’t enough time in the day.

Wearing Your Seat Belt

A police officer pulled over a driver and informed him that because he was wearing his seat belt, he had just won $5,000 in a safety competition.
“What are you going to do with the prize money?” the officer asked.
The man responded, “I guess I’ll go to driving school and get my license.”
At that moment, his wife, who was seated next to him, chimed in, “Officer, don’t listen to him. He’s a smart ass when he’s drunk.”
This woke up the guy in the back seat, who, when he saw the cop, blurted out, “I knew we wouldn’t get far in this stolen car.”
At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and a voice asked, “Are we over the border yet?”

I thought about calling you

iTunes

I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way
Call me crazy for missing you like this but I do
By now I figured you had all your numbers changed
It’s been at least a year since I called you up to say
We need to talk I got this job and I think I’m going to take it
Cause I been waiting all my life
For a break like this
It’s my chance of a lifetime I just know it is
I gotta go find these dreams
Was the last thing that I said
And then I did

I can see clear to the mountains as I head up our old street
I remember how we’d call in sick on days like these
And turn the music up roll the windows down and just drive
You talked me outta givin’ up on myself so many times
Convinced me to get in while I could regrets hang heavy on the mind
But you never doubted me you kept pushing me

Saying you’ve been waiting all your life for a break like this
It’s your chance of a lifetime you just know it is
You gotta go find those dreams
Was the last thing that you said
And then I did

But you were wrong
Love was what I wanted all along
And now you’re gone

I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way

But you were wrong
Love was what I wanted all along

I set out on a narrow way

iTunes

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true

Every long lost dream lead me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Would you dance?

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=110436&selectedItemId=110416

Would you dance if I asked you to dance
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight
Would you tremble if I touched your lips
Would you laugh oh please tell me this
Now would you die for the one you love
Hold me in your arms tonight

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you’ll always be mine
Would you lie would you run and hide
Am I in too deep have I lost my mind
Well I don’t care you’re here tonight

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Ohhh I just wanna hold you,
I just wanna hold you, oh yeah
Am I in too deep have I lost my mind
Well I don’t care you’re here tonight

I can be your hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
(Ohhhhhhhhhhhh yeah)
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

I can be your hero
I can kiss away the pain
And I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away
You can take my breath away
I can be your hero

Funny

Isn’t it “funny” how things work out? How one semi-small decision can make such a huge impact in your life?

This past year sure has been a roller-coaster of a ride…

. . .

… I’m so glad that I had the chance to go to Idaho for the summer and meet all sorts of new people, get away from everything for a while and to join the Church of Jesus Christ.

Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end . . .

The only thing I could do the first month or so in Fallbrook was think of going back to Idaho and figuring out how to get into the school and save up the money to get there. Then I started thinking I wasn’t going to get accepted, and then I did. But then there wasn’t enough money to make it happen.

Good things have started here though. Business is growing both rapidly and slowly at times… This next year will be interesting . . .

School starts in a couple weeks still, so I’ve got to enjoy my freedom while it lasts. Hopefully I can grow to like Fullerton even 1/10th of how much I liked BYUI, but I don’t have much faith at this point.

Anyways, thanks to everyone that made this past year a blast. I miss many of you and wish that we could be closer… Best of luck for 2005…

Medieval Times

Alias finally finished downloading this morning and I watched it… It’s looking good… Maybe it will make a comeback. I still can’t believe that I deleted it from my replay!

Happy Birthday shoutout to Lauren today. Everyone who drives or spends any time on the road watch out cause she just turned 16 and could be driving soon… I’m hoping that she’s going to give us some warning so that I can find a safe place to go before she gets behind the wheel though…

I went to Medieval Times with Grand Tradition today. It was nice to get out and do something out of the ordinary. I, of course, wasn’t as crazy as the David twins next to me in cheering on the team, but it was fun non the less. I miss hanging out with all the GT “kids.” I guess one of the downfalls of not working that often there… Maybe that will change with the new year and Richie working at the Mission.

Now it’s time for some white mint chocolate chip ice cream, Without a Trace and then lots of sleep cause I’m beat!

Don’t Buy PSP

For those of you that haven’t yet figured it out… Don’t buy product service plans or protection plans or extended warranties or any of that crap… That is where these places like Best Buy get their money… Even if they tell you in the store that you’ll get “cash” back when your device stops working… They don’t mean it…

Best Buy Oceanside said that they had a 650 for me this morning, so I took off and drove out there after lunch. Well, they didn’t seem to do any complaining about my phone and my complaints, but they sure weren’t going to let me out of the store with a 650. They said I had to call the 888 number and this and that before I could get another phone. I said that’s not the way it was described to me in the store when I bought the phone. Well, the policies have changed because people were abusing the system… Oh well… That’s fine… Thanks for the info, now sell me the phone and I’ll just take it all up with my credit card company. This should be interesting!

I sent out letters to the kids who were nominated for winter formal today, but not before realizing that I had managed to lock my keys in my car! Fortunately, my dad came down and bailed me out… All I can say is that I’m giving up on this having both sets of keys on the same ring. I’m going back to keeping them separate in my pocket… That way I’ll always have one in my pocket! Sometimes you just feel like an idiot…

But I discovered that I wasn’t the only one having a bad day today when I went to the post office and some lady tried to get into the passenger side of my truck as I was backing out of the spot… She totally thought it was her truck! That was great and totally worth it!

Went over to Alison’s to try to recover some missing songs on her laptop, but couldn’t as it just doesn’t look like they copied over to her new laptop from her desktop. Oh well I guess… Also a reminder to those of you who like to switch computers all the time… remember to deauthorize your computer from itunes before doing anything to it! Alison is now out of authorizations and can’t play music on her new laptop! Oops!

Came home and watched the first 24 minutes of Season 4 of 24. It looks like it could be good, but I wonder about watching it each week instead of straight. I swear, if I think this program is going downhill too, I’m not going to watch TV anymore and just get all the programs after the season from Netflix! It was kind of funny tonight because Bouse was watching season 1 of 24, Promack was watching season 3 and I was watching season 4.

I also came to find out tonight that I not only recorded Alias the other night when it was on, but managed to delete it too! I didn’t recognize the name of the program as something that I wanted to keep so I trashed it on my replay the other day and now I’m waiting for the first episode to download from bittorent. Hopefully it will be done when I wake up in the morning, but the program sure likes to crash so who knows what will happen. It is estimating 21 hours remaining at this point so maybe I won’t be watching it in the morning! Anyone have it for me?

School Started

So I have this thing on my calendar for yesterday. It says, right at the top… “Classes Begin.” Unfortunately, I wasn’t there for it… I guess this means no Idaho, so I should stop thinking about it, but I don’t know if that is going to happen anytime soon…

Went to the high school today to work on tabulating nominations for the senate meeting today and then painted the rest of the stage in the Bob. We’ll find out tomorrow how it came out. I also installed the new amp in the gym for the PA system with Fritz’s help… Let’s just say that I think it is a probably a little more powerful that we needed considering that we are one “click” above negative infinity on the amp’s gain…

Went to GT today to check in with the modernization project. It’s looking good in there but of course they are creating problems that now I have to figure out how to solve…

Had another meeting with George tonight about airbands, looks like things are going good. Hopefully we now have our video and entrance stuff taken care of.
