Chris

We overlook the power of the Lord's
tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the
tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in
the
troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot
provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is
simply
futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic
and
reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and
inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are
insufficient
to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so
totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord
and
made mighty even unto the power of deliverance

Smiling indomitably can be endearing when the hipsters' disinterested shtick grows tiresome.

I am haunted by water

i critiqued Pinocchio in my film class yesterday... it was good times.  I forgot how much i love that movie, it was awesome watching it on a big screen as if i were there on opening day or something in the fourties.  Jeremy liked it a whole bunch too..i guess chris too.  earlier i had all this work i chose to do because i need to get straight a's so i can transfer to UCLA.  i went to the children's section in the library when i couldn't get a computer and picked up winnie the pooh.  i like winnie the pooh alot.  i don't know how some people(like Rachel) couldn't.  it made me laugh and smile and that's what i like to do. anyways got work done. chris wanted a cycling hat, i guess he'd thought about it all day, we went to get him one and i picked out this rad baby blue/darker baby blue argyle one for him.   we decided we'd all get hats but the one i wanted he had and he didn't want me to get it because i'd be "copying" him.  that chris bugs me sometimes.  i picked it out for him. anyhow i got one with doves on it that says columbus.  we went to see vernal falls and i liked them a whole bunch, this girl from choir walked up to me with two choir guys and we talked and met for the first time, though i had my eye on her in choir andin my piano class last semester.  it's nice getting attention. anyhow the akron/family played and it was amazing. oh my, but none of us had enough cash to buy any of their cds(i wanted their tour only one)  bah.  going ice skating, i feel hot and itchy now, i'm glad i'm going to be on ice in a little while freezing me buns off.  Tian i hope your day and party goes swellly... if i would've been able to go maybe it would've been weird anyway with her there... though i can't see how she could hate me, it's not evident at all.   valentines day in a week and a half.  anyone excited? 

thanksgiving with family in sanjose, cousin jj is really tall and muscular now.  saw paris die and watched amytyville as well... scary. aft dinner left with dad, got up early and went to youth convention in san diego.  it was good... really good.  God was way good to me and everyone, the speakers were way rad and i am more focused on what i need to do than ever, i really believe that my dreams are meant to come true, the ones that you will find out about sometime when they are realities.  there were girls in the youth group too, they made me feel good.  i really need affection...well i like it a whole bunch at least.  pretty younger girls, i like taking care of them.   they aren't young young or anything me no petophile but yeah anyways was good times, despite my antisocialness most of the trip.  great worship, man God is good.  i love you guys.

i liked harry potter four movie.  it was nowhere near as good as it could have been, but it was still quite enjoyable. i went once with dad and brother matt then next day with ivan and rachel.  ivan was mad rachel was there, rachel was just blah.  on another note, i like this girl that is so freaking ridiculously difficult and she bugs the heck out of me.  i don't understand why i like her at all, much less why i care so darn much about her.  it is stupid...stupid stupid.  i just don't get it... i must be clinically insane.  blah.  nearly happy thanksgiving people. get fat like i hope to.
