Life is pretty routine. Nothing too crazy is going on right now. I was just presented with the opportunity to go to Europe for three weeks in the summer. I'm pretty excited about the possibility. I've always wanted to do some traveling but never really got the time. Financially it could be tough but I don't think I can pass it up. I'll know soon enough though.

Lately I've been listening a lot to Phil Wickham. He released a free live worship cd and it's awesome! You can get it on www.PhilWickham.com All you need to do is give your email address [I just gave an old one so I wouldn't get all the email updates on my normal email]... It's definitely worth downloading. Mix of his worship with some modernized hymns. Again, a must listen.

In other news: I'm turning 21 soon. That's so old. haha Can't believe how much time has flown since high-school. It's been almost 3 years now. Unbelievable.

I'm planning on slowing down college I think. The job market is horrible for finance majors right now, so I think if I stay in an extra semester or year [Pick up a minor, or just double major] I should hopefully have an easier time finding a job. I have an internship lined up hopefully this summer. It's down to myself and two other applicants. (Started with about 30-40) Keep me in your prayers that it somehow works out. If it doesn't go in my favor, I guess everything happens for a reason.

That's it for now. Take care everyone

A couple months have passd

Not a whole lot has changed. Another semester of classes, this one is definitely the toughest. Hard to believe i'm already a little over halfway done with college. Two years from now I'll likely be getting ready to start a career. Who knows what in. Too many options; but that isn't necessarily a bad thing I suppose. School, market, coaching, and homework seem to be what consumes my life. I enjoy it a lot more than I expected. Maybe that's because I realize the alternatives could be worse. Also, i'm drinking only water for a week (started on Friday). Never thought it would be this difficult! Anyway, I'm really not sure how many people read this, but if you do hopefully this update is worth reading. And if not, it's good to know I have something to look back on in a few years. I'll leave you with a few thoughts:

-- I'm blessed with a great family. I can't express how much they mean to me. Parentals, Brothers and Sisters, In-Laws, neices/nephews... All healthy--and good looking might I add :-)- I don't think I can ask for more

-- I don't think the coach of the team that won 100-0 should've been fired. Non-Classy, yes. But I don't think it's a fireable offense..... I also think it's wrong that the coach of the football player who died of heat stroke is in jail tonight. The kid should've hydrated himslf. Although it's still a sad situation.

-- I'm ready for the Phillies to start again!

God bless!

Sleep?

I sleep sometimes... but most of my time is spent working on procrastinated projects...

a more serious side of God

As much as I love watching the "Jesus is a Friend of Mine" video, and listening to the message..errr...humor to it. The following video, believe it or not (sarcastic much?) touches me a lot more. lol

It's Marty Sampson in front of 50,000 people with his one guitar, Singing "Saviour King". The presence of God in this stadium must have been so powerful. Be Blessed everyone, have a great week

Almost football season

2008-09-03T15:46:00.000-07:00

Football season starts up tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it a lot.

It seems like football and stressful college work go hand in hand. Football and finance, what a combination.

The Phillies just blew a lead. figures

i absolutely died at this movie. I havent laughed this hard in a long time. Things to watch for: 1. The lead singer's face all of the time, but especially when he sings at 2:13.
2. The strange movements of the guitar player
3. how skilled the lead singer is at bass
4. verse 2.. "he taught me how to praise my God and still play rock and roll" does this constitute as rock and roll?
5. the "wooo" shout at 2:22

enjoy!

I don't have a whole lot to post on here right away. I started a new semester this week. It's going to be a lot of work, but i'm looking forward to it.

I've been listening a lot to Nathan Angelo lately. If you like acoustic/piano stuff, I think you'll like him a lot. www.myspace.com/nathanangelo check it out

that's about all i have for now. take it easy
