hallelujah night preparation went really really well in my mind cuz i was expecting a disaster. i just thought that there were gonna be too many stankin people. so i thought that there wouldnt be enough rides. we ended up having like 4 extra cars so people just carpooled instead. then i thought that there wouldnt be enough stuff to do but it seemed like everyone was helping out and doing something to contribute. thank you God for making everything work out well. hope the same goes for the actual hallelujha night.

last night pablo was talking in his sleep. he was singing some kinda song or something but his words made absolutely no sense. he sang for like 10 sec and then stopped and ended w/ a fart.
and right now he just said something too, he said, "thats friggin disgusting man. friggin disgusting!" wonder whats going on in his head.

im reading a book for my decal class called "Let Your Life Speak" by parker palmer. it said some interesting things:
"This kind of love does not reflect the "functional atheism" we sometimes practice - saying pious words about God's presence in our lives but believing, on the contrary, that nothing good is going to happen unless we make it happen."
"I started to understand that I had been living an ungrounded life, living at an altitude that was inherently unsafe. The problem with living at high altitude is simple: when we slip, as we always do, we have a long, long way to fall, and the landing may well kill us. The grace of being pressed down to the ground is also simple: when we slip and fall, it is usually not fatal, and we can get back up."
this stuff just caught my attention.

its been a full 4 weeks and a few days since ive sprained my ankle. ive been waiting to play softball for like 5 weeks cuz our first game got cancelled. i was excited to play again cept the other team had to forfeit the stankin game. we got to scrimmage but it just wasnt the same. there was a very large turnout of people though. i was surprised but then i quickly realized that there are just too many dang good lookin people that bring the fans out.
went to the library at 12:30. i read for half an hr and then slept for the next hr. im so weak when it comes to studying. i think its pretty pitiful. im stankin tired.
