I have been looking around my room, realizing how ridiculous some of the stuff I have is. OK. not all of it, but there are quite a few things. The main one being the HUGE monitor I have set up as a duel display, because everyone thinks that Macbook screens are to small, I personally don't think so, I enjoy my 13" Macbook no matter what the 15" -17" PC people think they have on me. Mac kills them and personally Laptops are suppose to be small and portable, like they can actually fit in my backpack, just saying... But, just to spite those who told me that they thought my screen was to small, I got on craigslist and got the biggest screen I could for $20. And it is ridiculous.
Huge, tube stile flat screen.... haha, solves the "too small screen" problem right?
Today I discovered the moleskine. I don't even know how to explain the pronunciation of that word, but the pronunciation isn't what matters. The moleskine is a small, pocket sized to be precise, creative notebook. The notebook is indeed creative. I just got my moleskine today and I am already feeling the creative juices flowing through my veins. It could be something close to the heroin addicts drug flowing through his veins, only mine is healthier. One day with the moleskine and I already feel like I could be the next poet or song writer that changes the face of modern writing. OK, maybe not, but it is a good thought. The fact is, however, that the Moleskine is super cool and super creative. If you don't have one, you should get one. The idea of having a journal is an awesome Idea, it's one reason that I have this Blog. But, even more so, having a journal that you can carry, literally, everywhere and anywhere.
In all actuality, I really am excited about the Moleskine. I will be able to write down the song ideas and neat stuff I hear throughout the day. It will help me to remember the different things that I need to remember that will help my writing, which is something that I have been striving for lately. Hopefully it happens, hopefully I can write some sweet stuff. You might be thinking that I could write in any old notebook. But, I will just say to you, It's a moleskine.
Today of all days had to be the weirdest day I have had in a long time. I guess by weird I mean that it was a really good day, in no way that I would have expected. First, I only had one class today, thanks to Dr. de canceling class. I didn't feel like getting up, like I ever do right? But, I went to class and it was alright, but then I was thinking about going to take a nap and ended up doing a lot of school work and, get this, I got a lot done. A paper, three quizzes, and... Well, O.K. that was it. But, it seemed like a lot to me.
Anyway, I went to lunch and the day just kept getting better. We had chicken nuggets for lunch, it was awesome! Someone from moody food service please get those on the menu everyday! SERIOUSLY!
After that I got to talk to some people about summer. I have kinda come to a desition about what I'm going to do, but I haven't worked it all out yet, so I'm not going to say anything about it just yet.
Then I got to play SOCCER!!!! YEAHHHH!!!!!!! it was cool...
Then finally tonight I had to go to the open air ministry thing with a bunch of guys. I've never done anything like that before and I had the sweetest time doing it. We j
ust went out and shared about Jesus with a bunch of people. We used these sweet tract things that are red and blue. They are a sweet optical illusion and it was pretty funny. But we had some awesome convorsations with the people. One lady told us about some hard times she had went through, about four years ago and it had really hurt her and brought her away from believing in Jesus. She told us that she would always remember us, and that there was something amazing about us coming to talk to her tonight. We gave her a bible and it was so freaking cool.
Maybe, I'm just overly excited about this. But it was freaking awesome... Anyway, I want to encourage you, if you know Jesus, get out there and just share it. Don't be discouraged like no one will listen, cause most of the people we talked to I would have never guessed would have been interested in what I have to say.
For the first time since I have been back in Chicago it is over 50. O.K. it's not the first time but it is one of the few days that it has been this warm. I am extremely excited because warm weather means a bunch of different things. 1) Everyone is in a better mood. 2) There are more things to do outside. 3) I can skateboard. 4) I can play sports outside. Spring time, although rainy, is really sweet. Being the second best season to summer, Spring has baseball, or in this years case softball, and Soccer for IM sports, and those are pretty sweet. I bought a softball glove today, cause of course I have to play for my floor, which I still can, hopefully. But, I showed my weakness in my spending habits, which happens to be sports equipment. I don't know what it is but I have spent more money this year on sports stuff then I have in the last 4 years. Since I have been at school, I have purchased Hockey Skates, Gloves, and two Sticks, Rollerblades, and just today a softball glove. I could
sence the annoyance in my girlfriends voice as I told her I got a glove over Skype. I think it is true that I probably spend too much on sports stuff, due to the fact that I am incredibly stinge in almost any other area of my life. I feel bad that I spent money on it, but seriously, it's a sweet glove. Plus I plan on going pro in a year or two anyway. When that happens I'll be rich anyway. Of course I don't know to many people that are pro in two sports but I have been planning on going pro in hockey for like a half a year and now baseball. It will be hard but I will.. don't worry.. : P
But sersously, I am excited for it to be nice out finally. I hope it stays nice, but I keep thinking that It won't. Cause it did this once before and was nice for one day then dropped to like the twenties again. So, is it really Spring this time?
