Pudd Night.

Today has been such a blah day. I’m tired, and my body doesn’t want to do anything. But there’s work to do, but it’s frustrating work. And things aren’t going right… I’ve broken a bunch of tiles today that I was trying to cut, to lay in the floor. Annoying. And I melted a brand new 21$ Dremmel bit yesterday. Stupid.
So yeah… tonight I’m skipping cell and am going to play Psi Ops all night. All freakin night. It’s a Pudd Night tonight.
Weirdest. Thing. Ever.

I just remembered something particularly strange that happened to me a few nights back. Honestly, it was weird.
So I was lying in bed, very tired, at around midnight. I had not been lying there long, when all of a sudden, what I can only describe as a bright flash, zoomed passed… inside my head! Haha, I know I sound insane, but something whizzed past the back section of my brain. I heard it as well. I’m thinking perhaps it was just a bunch of nerves firing, like a thought “going-off” and because I was kindof dazed and sleepy, it awoke me.
Either that… or maybe… I don’t know. Strange. That’s all I can say.
Gotta love…

…those Robotic Traffic Cones!
Spent Friday night and Saturday day in Kids Camp training. 5th year in a row now? It’s gonna be fun, I’m thrilled. Then I went downtown and met up with Mike and Bronnie, and Antonella (SP?) and we bummed around for a while, gave some money to a bum, and then went to Mike’s for a video.
Paycheck to be exact. I enjoyed it, but there were a lot of issues with the acting, and convincing line delivery, and I didn’t really feel the story was told very effectively. But it was alright, maybe a 6.5/10.
I bought myself a copy of Psi Ops : The Mindgate Conspiracy. Silly name for a great game. Having lots of fun there. Got a free copy of Mortal Kombat : Deadly Alliance with it, I think I’ll give it to Russell.
Tonight I’m off downtown again with Maija and Mike, and Bronnie again I think, going to a church called Freedomize. Free dinner or something. I’m always up for free food.
Losing it’s specialness

I just got my template fixed. Or rather, Blogspot decided to let me pages load again. I don’t understand. Either way, I’m getting bored fixing this business over and over again.
But aside from that. Zing! Just got back from my first real date with my exquisite girlfriend, Maija MacLeod. Large smiles all round. Like any good first date, we went to see a movie. After dinner at Kelsey’s, we saw Troy, which neither of us had gotten around to seeing yet.
We quite enjoyed it. I think that in the end “The Iliad” is a rather difficult story to tell. There’s too many heroes, and too many soldiers bound to a timeline that’s too long. Given that, I think Monsieur Peterson did quite a good job. The casting was excellent, except I think more time should have been spent on the accent work. But still, a good film.
It was a pleasant evening. So easy and relaxed for a first date. I feel complete peace about this relationship. Honestly… there’s no anxiety, no worry whatsoever. It feels completely natural.

If anyone can actually read this – probably only the 2 using the XML feed – my template is broken again. I’m having trouble fixing it. I hate blogging. I will never blog again.
Does that sound unsound?
07 years ago
Two good friends of mine recently picked out the song “Look What You’ve Done,” by Tree63 as being theologically unsound.
Here are the lines in question:
“It’s not a question of what you can do for me
But what can I do for you my Lord?”
I have spent the day since wondering what is so unsound about it?
Here’s the rest of the lyrics, if you’re interested:
Look what you’ve done for me
Your blood has set me free
Jesus my Lord look what you’ve done for me
I haven’t been the same
Ever since that day I called your name
Yahweh Yahweh look what you’ve done for me
What can I do for you my Lord?
I want you to know my heart is yours
It’s not a question of what you can do for me
But what can I do for you my Lord?
Up to your cross I crawl
Now I am standing ten feet tall
Jesus my saviour look what you’ve done for me
Free at last I’m free
I owe you my life completely
Yahweh Yahweh look what you’ve done for me
Am I missing something? Are they missing something? I honestly don’t know. Someone shed some light on this for me.
God bless the women of the church

Saturday night of any TACF conference sees me very exhausted. Us maintenance crew have to get the church building all ready for the service the following morning.
This entails taking down the “Meal Plan” area, some 300 or more seats and their tables; moving couches and lounge chairs under the stage; stacking soft chairs and moving them, picking up trash throughout the Auditorium, and a few other taxing tasks. This will normally take us to around 12:30pm, but has taken until 2am, on more than one occasion.
Anyway… God bless the women of the church, for tonight, as I began the long slow process of taking down and stacking 300 folding chairs – a task normally performed on my own – 5 or 6 women who I think may have been helping serve the meal (or not, who knows) helped me in taking down all the chairs. I was deeply touched (as much as I could be, given my current state of exhaustion), as all of the women were older than 30.
Not long after that my lovely girlfriend arrived with pizza and Dr Pepper. What more could a tired man ask for.
A bigger prayer.

New favourite song: “After Today” by Sanctus Real.
After today I’ll get me out of this place
Into the world so I can set a new pace
Seems I’m on my own from here
Vision doesn’t seem so clear
Won’t You lay me in Your hands of grace
I’ve got a funny feeling that I’m gonna go away
Gonna face my future, gonna try to make the grade
I’ve got a ways to go from here and vision doesn’t seem so clear
But praise God He’s got a plan and understanding isn’t my place
After today I’m gonna come face to face
With a new world who knows I’m feeling this way
I’ve got a ways to go from here
I’m gonna overcome these fears
Still I’m gonna need Your hands of grace
I’ll be a bigger man for, a bigger man for today. I’ll pray a bigger prayer for, a bigger prayer for today. I’ll dream a bigger dream for, a bigger dream for today.
Water Drinker

I like drinking water. But I especially like drinking water out of slightly un-orthodox water holders. Such as empty pop cans. I think canned water would be awesome (regular water, not that nasty tonic water filth). I also like to drink water out of glass bottles, syringes, and most of all, mugs.
Try it friends. You won’t be disappointed.
I bought Sanctus Real’s CD today. It’s good, I’d heard a bunch of the tracks, but had never gotten around to buying the CD. I also bought Wash Over Me, a Live Vineyard Worship CD. I confess… I bought it only because it has Wash Over Me, by David Ruis, on it. Bad habit that one. Ahh well.
Have I mentioned how much I love Maija MacLeod? She’s the best. God is way too good to me. If you were Him, you’d know that I burst into renditions of “Walking on Sunshine” every little while throughout the day. But seriously, pray that we keep things nice and slow, and don’t rush anything. That’s the only drawback of being really good friends before you start dating. :)
