summer snow.

Tomorrow is JH Retreat. I am excited, but at the same time sad because I know how quickly it's going to end. The next two weeks will probably fly by without ever slowing down. Time really does fly when you're having fun.

Since bombing my finals, I've watched 4 movies. Law Abiding Citizen, Up, District 9, & (500) Days of Summer. I'd have to say the best one out of the four was (500). Summer's (Zooey Deschanel) personality in the movie could not have matched what I want in an "ideal girl" more perfectly. Being blunt, not afraid to make a fool of herself, being spontaneous in the situation she's been put in are all traits that were very appealing to me and close to near perfection in my criteria. Also, I cannot picture a more perfect way to start talking to a girl, than to have her compliment your choice in music. Right off the bat, there's an immediate connection and something to talk about. I can only dream...

Thinking about all this has led me to devote what I write in this blog, to be about girls. Not just lusting or fantasizing, but analyzing and "opinionating" on various situations involving females. (Barney Stinson had little influence on this haha.) Of course I will write about other things on the side, but this will be the main headline of what I write about on this site. I'm going to make this blog useful in the future unlike my old xanga.

I'll begin once I get back. Cheers to you, blogspot.

fail.

Last night was...fail. I don't think I've ever been so frustrated, irritated, and pissed off at a church event. How do you come at 6:45 to start setting up for an event when it's supposed to start at 6:30? You invite all those churches and you can't even come at LEAST an hour before to set up and make sure everything's going to run smoothly? And on top of that, you can't even get anything to work properly. Never witnessed such an unorganized event in my life. If anyone's wondering, I'm not talking about Jubilee's Pastors or anyone of that sort. I'm talking about the adults that were handling the lyrics, slideshow, and all the technical stuff. Screw them. All of the praise team's hard work was put to waste thanks to them.

But on a lighter note, Michael Franzese was awesome. Didn't think he'd be as good of a speaker as he was. I haven't been that interested in a speaker's story/sermon in a long time and that man really knows what he's talking about. Great speaker, horrible staff.

Random note: I'm getting the best Christmas present this year, Ever.

the redeemed.

New Album! Alicia Keys - The Element of Freedom. She is seriously, so hot and so talented. Her last album, As I Am, was really good and this album is just as awesome. Also, the best covers/remixes out there right now have to be from Glee. They're so good. Rachel Berry's voice is AWESOME despite her annoying facial features, but her voice makes up for it and transforms her into a cutie somehow.

This Friday is Jubilee's Praise Night/Rally. Yours truly, is lucky enough to play in the band along with Jeea, Christina, Josh, and Henry. The guest speaker is Michael Franzese and his story is pretty crazy. I hope a lot of kids come out willing to listen and worship. I know back when I was in high school, I didn't go to these kinds of things looking to change my life but only to see friends and girls. A bit naive now that I look back. It makes me start to think about where I would be in my life right now if I just went into some of those praise nights with an open mind and the willingness to listen/learn. Probably a completely different place as a completely different person. God could've possibly moved in me back then and led me down a different path but I chose not to. Crazy how the smallest things can make such an impact on one's future. I don't regret anything though cause God has everything planned out. But hopefully, at least some kids won't make the same mistake I did when I was younger.

On a less serious note, I absolutely love the way Jeea and Christina lead worship. It's the same style they use at IHOP (International House of Prayer) in Kansas City and Jesus Culture. It's just so...free. No structure really, but saying, singing, yelling, screaming, whatever you want to tell God in the way you are most comfortable. And let me tell you right now, Jeea has one of the purest voices I've ever listened to. She is the Awesome. We will be playing this song below and I immediately fell in love with it as I played it for the first time. Check it out and come to the rally! Worship starts at 6:30. I REPEAT, 6:30. Come earlier if you'd like to mingle with friends haha.
