Weekend

Have I mentioned I LOVE WEEKENDS!!!! Seriously, they are just fun. Point and case, this weekend. Friday, got off work a little early and headed home to prepare for that nights activities. Some of those crazy Summit YP's came over to la casa and hung out all night. And I mean, all night. DDR, GH, 42, Pump it Up, etc. etc. Most everyone was gone around 12:30AM or so with a few stragglers here and there. Got in bed around 2:30 or so. Sleeeeeeeppppp.

Saturday. I woke up @ 8 or so, but got out of bed around 10 or so. Did some laundry and watch some idiot box. Then I went and got my new phone. Nokia E62. It's awesome. I'm still trying to figure it all out, but its cool. Then I went to help Jessica with her silly car. Hopefully she can figure out what's wrong with it soon. Then it was back home and then off to Brier Creek for the movies. Hot Fuzz. Then the hilarity ensued. It was amazingly funny. I recommend it for those who have a "special" kind of humor. Then it was off to dinner @ Jason's Deli. Good food. Then home again for a while before more fun was to take place. Karaoke (empty-orchestra) College life was riddled with much of this crazy time. Now I was back in the seat again tonight. The place was kinda packed so we only got one song, but it was a good one. You've lost that Loving Feelin'. Always a favorite for karaoke. Then the ladies sang I love Rock n' Roll. Again, another karaoke fav. After those we departed to our respective homes for the night. Now I am here and barley awake to type. Church @ 8AM. Lets get a few hours of sleep in so we don't yawn in service.

Business as usual...

Yeah that's what they say when they tell you something of extreme change @ work right? Just go on about your business as usual and as soon as we know the changes, we will let you know. I wish it were that easy. My day to day things haven't changed, but in the back of my mind, things are moving. Just the thought of a big -wig, multinational, global CFO coming to our office on Wednesday made me go out and buy new pants so I could look nice when he came by. What kind of thinking is this? Not that I dress like a slob when I go to work, but its usually a casual thing with the possibility of shorts on a warm day. No no, I wouldn't want to look like that when Mr. Big Shot came in. Why do I do this??? Image is a big thing when you move to a more corporate environment, so I guess that's why I do it.

Moving on, what does this mean for me?? Am I going to be with the company when all the papers are signed and filed? Will I be put out on the street looking for a job once again after losing my other job less than 2 years ago? What do I do?? Well my mind has a problem with speculation sometimes. I have run through the scenario soo many times in the last 4 days I'm almost dizzy from it. And I think that I have finally come to a conclusion. God has the final say on any decision that goes on in my life. I trusted him after the hurt and heartache I had experienced from Nov 05 to Feb 06, why can't I trust Him now. Does he want me to leave this job and go be in the mission field? Does he want me to stay with the company and grow with them? Only He knows, so I'll leave it up to Him. He is The Ruler of this world and my Savior. I think I can trust Him with this.

On a lighter note........

Small group was tonight, and it was good. Had a few new faces show up and the group finally has more than 2 guys in it. I was starting to worry about the future of the male leadership. We split up for prayer, and I think it was a good move. I haven't heard the opinions of the girls, but I think it's a good move. Not all the time, but once in a while wouldn't hurt. Then we discussed our chapter of the night "Did Christ rise form the dead?" We had some really good discussions on the chapter and I was pleased on how things went.

I never had dinner so I filled up on 2 bowls of Bonnie's "Naner Puddin'" and was still hungry. A quick (not really) stop @ Wendy's and my hunger was satiated for the time being. Now its of to dreamland. Hopefully 1 Venti Caffe Vanilla Frappucino and 1 Tall Extra Bold Blend coffee from Starbucks won't keep me up all night. If it does, I might come back and post my random thoughts as I try to sleep.

2nd 0.5 of the weekend

Today was a good day. It took me a little extra to get out of bed due to soreness and my extra comfy bed. I eventually rolled out and hopped in the shower and got ready for church. Church is awesome. Plain and simple. I have been going to the Summit for a little over a year now. Since my first day there, I have known I wanted to be there. Worship is always an awesome time and JD's sermons seem to touch my life whenever I hear one. After church, me and my bro headed home in the lovely rain. This rain we have been having is a test of our work yesterday and as far as I know, it all works. My sister and her family came over for lunch and we had some BBQ and Bojangle's chicken. Nice southern meal. Played with the kids for a little while and then they were gone by 12:30. After that I headed downstairs and found my resting place. Me and the couch became good friends for about an hour and a half. Then came the most productive event of my day (prepare for sarcasm). I played my PS2 for like 4 hours. I know. I am a loser. I played Need for Speed Underground 2 for 4 hours. I got a lot of achievements done on the game, but it's still just a game. After pulling myself away, I proceeded to do another productive thing, TV. And now I am here. Maybe this is the more productive of the three, but I lack some motivation right now. I think I will eat and maybe some more TV then it's bedtime for me.

1st 0.5 of the weekend

Well. The weekend. I love weekends. They are relaxing and it's a good time to get together with friends and just hang out. Well this weekend started with some interesting news. Friday, we found out or company was being acquired by Philips Electronics. To me, I think it is going to be a great move for our company. I am still a little hesitant about things, but I know who has control over it all, so I'll let Him figure things out.

After work, Clifford and I decided to go grab some dinner over @ Chili's. Good food, good times (not sure if that is their slogan, but I'll use it). Dinner finished up and we had a few minutes before out movie started, so we took a leisurely stroll down to the movies instead of driving. And now the movie. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie for Theaters. All i can really say is Wow. It was good. I expected a little more laughter, but all in all it was just like a long episode (taken from Clifford) We got out of the movie and headed over to Caribou Coffee and grabbed a drink and proceeded to talk. For hours. Seriously like 3 solid hours of convo. It was good times.

After coffee and convo I trucked myself home (Actually Jeeped myself but it sounds kinda funny). Crawled in bed around 1 and hit the hay for a few hours. Got up around 6:30 to go clean out my car for the days activities. Loaded up my tools and headed down to Carrboro to pick up Mark and some Pergo. See today, we helped out freind Bonnie do some work on her house. It was some well needed work to get done, so I am glad we could help. French drains, sump pumps, fixed stairs, new flooring and all sorts of good stuff was on the task list. With the man power we had there (and woman power) we got everything on the list done. By 4Pm we were wrapping things up and I took Mark back down to his place in Carrboro. Then, I had to drive back to the ol' dirty D. On the way home, I received some info that my sister and her family were having our family over for some burgers and to hang out. Who can pass up free burgers???? Dare I say, no man or woman in their right mind. Took a shower. It was amazing. Not often do I feel so refreshed after a shower, but today, I did.

Grabbed my bro and we headed out to Casa de Posey in the RX-7 beauty. I get to drive cause my bro is still in process of getting his NCDL. Cruising down 85/70 to some Zeppelin is always fun. I had a great time with the family and kids and not to mention the great food. My plans for the evening were to go down to Volume 11 and watch a show with my buds band Outliar and another band, Up the Irons (Iron Maiden trib.). Well needless to say for the lack of sleep and the hours of work this morning, I was in no shape to go to downtown Raleigh and be out til midnight or after.

So I came home, cleaned up a bit, and wrote down this blog. Blogging is kinda fun. Its good to get things out of your head. Well I am off to the meds cabinet for some Tylenol PM and a bit of Hawaiian Punch and I'm out. Later. Yo estoy un poco cansado.

Welcome

Well folks, I have decided to jump into the world of blogging. Maybe I will keep up with this.....maybe I won't who knows. Hopefully I will because a lot of times I have a lot on my mind and need somewhere to get it out. I'll keep you posted.
