I am three minutes before 4 o'clock sharp...
sigh of relief
I did it! I had 2(One which I've been working on for the last month and another which just came in at like 11) projects to finish today by 4 PM and I finished! With time to spare too! I totally thought that it was gonna take me forever to do that one they gave us this morning but it was actually a lot easier than I thought, especially since we know the system back and forth...if this was like 3 months ago and I still didn't know didly doo, I would be dead right now...it's kinda high stress around here lately...everything is in its final stages, so lots of people are high strung, I'm walkin on eggshells man.
On my mind...
I was attending a Life Group meeting for Mosaic(my friend Aaron's church) last night and while we were in discussion, someone said something that totally stuck out in my head. He was talking about people who are really deep down sincere Christians and those who were "cultural Christians." I think that was the first time in my life I had heard that word, but it got me thinking nonetheless...just about how many people out there follow their faith blindly simply because that is what they have been forced fed throughout most of their lives, it's a family thing, it's become just "something they do," or whatever. I'm not judging anyone on their personal relationships with God, I'm just wondering. But I guess I would like to know where people stand. Because to me, it seems like this isn't really that important of an issue to most people, it's even taboo, a lot of people skirt around the subject of faith and stuff related to it. But to me, it is probably one of the MOST important issues that we can have...because to me, God is responsible for every blessing that I have in my life, for all my happiness, even the tough times(there's a bigger picture that I can't see), because this is about eternal life and salvation of my soul. So I try to live a good life...and of course, I am no Saint, and I'm not perfect, I don't think anybody is...actually, I struggle pretty often, but I think I try hard to keep developing my relationship with God...Why? Because that is what I believe, because God is the foundation for everything I have, because I want to go to heaven...and because I have a million and a half questions to ask, and I hope I'll get to ask them... he he he.
...lots of blabber...don't mind me...

Anyway, here's something that people who like to analyze dreams might find interesting, I had yet another one of my absolutely bizarre dreams. This time, I was supposed to go deep sea diving, we were looking for something, there were a whole bunch of us, but the only person I could remember was Dais, one of my friends that was in Mech Eng back in school. Anyway, they needed me to go because they needed me to translate something in French. HELLO, I only speak a little, they could've picked someone much more fluent. Plus, I can't even DIVE!!! So they told me if I traded in my black jacket, I could get the O2 tanks and the wetsuit...but I'd have to make my own goggles. The O2 tanks were like twin tanks, silver with a whole bunch of nobs on them, and they attached to your head, like those beercan hat thingies...we never actually did the dive, I woke up before that happened, but all of this happened in the sporting goods section of some store...I was standing next to those circular clothes hangar things...
randoms
I was listeing to my Outkast CD today(cic gave it to me, THANKS mang!!!! I love it!) and it totally made me laugh. There's one song that has the words, "...roses smell like poo poo." It is freakin hilarious. But I just thought about it, I have a very difficult time hearing lyrics and almost always get them wrong, so it would be pretty sad if those weren't even the words...what if it was a serious song like "...roses smell like you...pooh..."? I'd sure feel dumb.
