The Motions

For the past week I have been stuck on Matthew West music. The one song that I really enjoy is called "The Motions." Here is the chorus:

I don't wanna go through the motions

I don't wanna go one more day

Without Your all consuming passion inside of me

I don't wanna spen my whole life asking,

"What is I had given everything,

instead of going through the motions?"

It just makes me wonder how much I really just go through the motions of everyday life. How often do I just concentrate on what is going on from day to day? I know I need to catch myself more with this problem because I know I tend to get consumed with a lot of things since I plan everything so far in advance.

Needing to read for small groups does help, but I still know I need to work on it. Maybe since I am leading chapter 11, I can get on the right track.

Well just that I would share.

It's Official!

It's official! I now live in La Jolla. I have turned in the keys and everything to the old apartment. I no longer have to go all the way down the 56 anymore! Wooo! Can't wait for what the future holds.

Random Questions

Here are some random questions that I think about every now and then. I do some of these things myself, but I still wonder.

1. Why did colgate package a trial size and normal size toothpaste of the same flavor?
2. Why are Asians said to be bad drives, but in movies they are the racing type?
3. Why is it called a driveway when you park on it?
4. Why is it called a parkway when you drive on it?
5. Why was it decided that Saturday and Sunday would be the weekend?
6. Why do people press the crosswalk button so many times? (this also includes elevators)
   
7. Why are there so many rules to the English language?
8. Why do people continually press the remote when the batteries are dead?
9. Why do people say my alarm went off when it really turned on?
10. Why can't drivers make turns at certain intersections during a certain period of time?
11. Why is island spelled with a S?

I can't think of anymore, but maybe this will get your brain started.

July?!?

Why does no one really blog anymore?

I can't believe that it is already July. It's crazy! Time goes by so fast now. I do kinda want the end of August to come fast though, so that I can go back to school. I want to try to finish as fast as possible. Well that's all for now. When I think of something else to blog, I will.

The Friend Zone

I haven't blogged in forever so I am going to post one now. Since I don't know what to blog about I am going to write about an article that I read over a week ago. It asked how people ended up in the "Friend Zone" and if it was possible to get out of it.

I personally feel as if I always fall into this zone, which sucks =/. I for some reason always come off to girls as the friend type rather than the dating type. I don't know if it is something that I do, but I seem to always run into the same situation. I could be interested in a girl and then after we hang out a few times she says that I am a great friend. As soon as I hear that I know that I will be nothing more than a friend.

I would like to think though that it is possible to get out of the "Friend Zone" even though I know it is unlikely. I believe this could happen because I would like to date someone that I feel that I know and could get along with. A friend is someone you can have fun with and fell comfortable with. I just feel that a friend bypasses the whole getting to know someone stage, so dating a friend could sometimes be easier.

I haven't run into this recently, but for some reason I would always find myself in this situation in high school. So, is one able to become more than a friend once they are considered to be in the "Friend Zone?"

The Perfect Memorial Day Weekend

This Memorial Day Weekend has been so much fun. It was filled with a lot of activities and it sucks that it has to end.

On Saturday I had breakfast at the Pancake House with Will, Kat, PB, and Tina. Had to wait a while to get seated but it was worth the wait. Will tried to hook me up with someone again. He was trying to get me to talk to our waitress, but I don't think I could ever do that. Then later I headed to Will's place to watch the Lakers game. The outcome was the one flaw in my weekend. Hahaha.

Then on Sunday I went to church and had Tech Crew. After service all of the youth and a group of adults headed to Mission Bay for the Day. We stayed out there all day and played football, frisbee, and bocce ball (the old man game according to PB). We were all out there till 9 and then the sprinklers came on, which was crazy! We had to rush to move everything into the street so that everything wouldn't get wet. It was fun though.

Then today I went to get dim sum with some of my roommates. Nothing is better than Asian food. Then I went to go see Star Trek with Kat. The movie was really good and better than I had expected. After the movie, Kat and I went to go meet up with PB and Tina at Cadao for dinner. After we had finished eatting, Jerry and Grace walked in and then joined us. We ended up staying and talking to them until they had finished their dinner. After dinner PB, Tina, Jerry, Grace, and I all went bowling at Mira Mesa Bowl. It was really fun and Jerry and Tina almost got the curve down. Nice job! I really should buy a ball and shoes since I want to go bowling so much. Hahaha

Well that was my recap. Hope it was entertaing.

Coming Up On 3 Years!

I am about to finish another semester at SDSU (the better school) and I recently realized that I have been in San Diego for almost 3 years now. It is so crazy how fast time flies. I moved in August of 2006 and August 2009 is only a few months away. As I look back at the past 3 years, I am happy to say that I love where I am at right now. I have done my best in school and plan to continue to do so. I have also found a church that is one in a million and really don't know where I would be without the people there. It truly is another family that I have come to love.

I still remember the days when I would just go to Margie and Rafa's in the morning to go to church with them. To be honest, I dreaded going because I just always felt lazy and that I didn't need it. I would make up excuses, such as homework or my alarm clock didn't go off, to get out of going to church. I think the first time I actually hung out with people from Experience was when Taylor invited me over to his place for lunch and a movie. I was really on and off with Experience for probably about the whole year of 2007, which is pretty sad.

The thing that allowed me to be where I am today was the invite that PS gave me to his LTG. Ever since joining the LTG, my life has completely changed. I am still growing but I am definitely a better person ever since joining the LTG.

So, thank you to all of those who I have met at Experience because even though you may not know it, you have shaped me into the person that I am today.
