FACEbook

I just spent the last 30 min. going through my facebook pictures. There were so many memories I was reminded of...and so many that I had completely forgotten. I need to commit a day to going through and saving all the ones I like to my external drive. I was reminded of beginnings, endings, friendships, hardships, and accomplishments. Pictures have the ability to capture what sometimes words could never be able to say. I think that's why photography interests me so much...that and the fact that I don't really draw anymore. It's an easier way to create art. Instant gratification! Maybe that will be my summer fun project...taking an art class. Ever since i didn't win the art contest for Clubhouse magazine in 5th grade...

I took my first sick day yesterday, and I left early today...I've been having "hot flashes".

I was practicing my guitar earlier today and I found some chord charts online for some songs I want to do from "Enter the Worship Circle". I was stoked because I learned some really easy ways to finger chords. I love cheats in music.

I've started almost every sentence with "I". What does that say about myself? Seriously though, I have been thinking about how selfish I am. Even though it's not purposely, we are wired to be self-centered.

Recorded some music a couple of days ago. I really wish I had my vocal mic. I did 3-part harmony with myself. My dad joked that we had a good blend...couldn't imagine why. I watched a ton of tutorials finally for the new software package for drums and synth. About time...I payed pretty good money for it, better put it to use, right?

I'm thinking about buying a journal. I heard that it's really good therapy to write down your thoughts...and some thoughts are just not meant to be read for everyone to see. Nothing scandalous or anything, but you can only be so intimate when broadcasting your life via the internetz.

Welp, guess I'm going to take a nap here and hope to get feeling better. I was going to have one of the guys from CBC choir stay over Saturday night, but seeing as how I've been sick, I thought better of it. I was kind of looking forward to meeting him....another thing that's really changed about me. Although I find myself spending more time alone than when I was in college and HS, I've actually become more of a people person. I have to be outgoing...I mean, I took a homeless man out to lunch the other day and I was really excited to connect with him. who am I anymore? Life is full of stages. I think true growth comes from being thrust into situations without warning. How you handle new challenges and situations really matures you. I wouldn't have been able to (or really, wouldn't have wanted to) do things in HS and early college like I'm doing now. I attribute that also to the work of the Holy Spirit. Every day it's becoming more and more clear about how everything I need to do requires less of me and more of Him.

I was supposed to end this with the first sentence of the previous paragraph...snowball effect. I'm done now. See you on the flip side.
