So, came home after PK’s. Got on the computer. Started coding. Ate Pizza. Continued coding. Chatted a little, still coding. For a total of about 6 hours today I was at the computer coding something or another. Wether it be the upcoming comic or the website for the ball. All I know is that I don’t wanna code no more tonight.

Shot pool with Nikki and Sim. Won some, lost some. It was fun watching sim make comments about Nikki and having Nikki retaliate. I guess this is normal, but it was still fun.

I have a story to write. It’s a pretty good one, I think. Most of the time I like my stories. I hope you do too, otherwise the point in having this website to display them becomes kind of null. If I ever get back to coding for myself, I also have 4 or 5 ideas sitting on the grill that if I like them enough will become a few more sections for this site. I also plan to bring JR Corps up with a site sometime in the future.

The future is approaching fast, and it is to say the least, not at all how I had originally wanted it to go. I now leave how it’s supposed to go to God. He seems to be in charge no matter what I do, so might as well make his life easier as opposed to mine harder. College, Job, Wife, Kids; all big decisions that must be made. Right after I make the decision to sleep tonight. Maybe they can wait until I figure out what I am having for breakfast tommorow. Whatever the case, it is not important, but matters more than anything else.

Well I am going to go to sleep now, I’ve been in bed for 2 hours, it’s about time…

Well, my fun is over, its so depressing. I no longer have DDR. Oh well, at least now Patrick has something to do. I am now going to head home and begin a long coding session between me and and my computer. Other than that, all is cool!

So I was driving home today, paying attention to all the cars around me. The only one I didn’t notice on my way home from school was the one in front of me. I didn’t notice it, that is, until it turned onto my street. It is very weird for car to be turning on our street now adays because there is a lot of road construction going on. What was even more weird was when this car turned into my driveway. This seemed kinda weird because most of my friends call before coming over. Well I pull into the garage and to my pleasant surpise, here is Ben and Cory, two of my long time friends.

For a few hours we talk about life, music, and cars. I soon get a call from Beth and Nikki saying we want to do something. So I invite them over, at which point Ben and Cory leave to go find their famous musicians as Guitar Center.

Beth and Nikki get here and I find they have invited Richard as well. This is all good and well, what’s a party after all if you don’t know your having it, and you don’t have people. We all then hop in the car and drive to Lee-Ann Chins where we confuse the waiter with our huge order for 8 hungry people. For those of you that I have hard time counting thats: Me, Nikki, Beth, Richard, Amy, Ali, Mom, and Dad. Beth counts that as 9. She is special…

We returned home, ate, watched the first half of Monthy Python and the Holy Grail. I say we only watched half because Beth left somewhere in the middle, and then, about 5 minutes after she left, Ben, Cory, and John all arrived at my house, again…

We shot a little pool, talked a little about balls and sticks, and generally had a good time all around.

After that, because Beth took off because she had work, I drove Nikki home. We had a nice talk as always. During a discussion of service work with church, we somehow unraveled my past about chasing after a girl named Leah and later, how I started chasing Nikki. I am going to start saying that chasing is a very very poor word. I don’t like the idea that they are running from us, or that we are trying to run towards them. I also dont think the words: following, hoping, loving, liking, infautating or any other noun seems to describe the action of trying to get a girl to like you. Maybe its flaunting yourself. Maybe I need to make a word. Here it is: Lirrak. To be all official about it, here is my entry for submission to dictionary.com:
Lirrak (v)
Lir-ake Lirraking, Lirraked, Lirraks
To attempt to make a woman attracted to you through useless and almost utterly pointless means.

Think this will become the biggest thing since JNH?

So now that we have a word, I am not sure I am lirraking anyone right now. I was lirraking Nikki for some time, but I think both she and I would rather be friends. Maybe I am still lirraking her only because I have no one else around me that I want to lirrak. Well I will let that be what it is, even though I may have just created havok because I know your reading this RIGHT NOW Nikki. hehe…

I have a lot of work tommorow. Got to 2 read, got to code, got to return the DDR pads :-(. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. Today was fun while it lasted. Sorry about the ONE post for today.

After an afternoon of chaos as to whether or not we were going to get their on time, Sim and I finally arrived at Chanhassen. We looked good, we had tickets, all that was waiting for us was for us to take our place and start devouring the amazingly good food.

We got in and got our table right away. We met some nice older people who were not all that bad to sit next to at all. I was telling Sim something about something but the waiter, who mind you was more than a total clutz the whole night, interupted whatever I was talking about, and I never regained the train of thought. I think whatever this thought was, it could have and very well might have been vitally important to the continuation of mankind. Oh well…

There were some younger, but very nice looking girls on stage tonight. Sim saw one that looked surprisingly familar, as did I. To bad I would never have a chance with a 13 year old that acts 5 times a week professionally. Non the less, I couldn’t stop thinking the entire night that I would have loved to have some people with us sitting in those two empty seats next to us. Again, oh well. Sim and I got to enjoy some great food, great music, great acting, and above all a great time.

When I got home, it was back to the DDR machine that PK left here. I hate to inform you of this PK, but I have gotten better…

There is 90% change I will update again tonight, perhaps after I shatter the rest of the high scores.

I went to church this morning to send off my friends who are heading out to Jamaica for a 10 day mission trip (10 right Amber? hehe). While there, Amber, Scott, Jon, Anders, Sarah, Derek, Wutke’s, and a few other friends will be working with a boys home, an orphanage, nearby communities, and the citizens of Jamaica. I ask that the people who read this pray for their safety and that thier mission in preaching the love of God to others will be one of many fruits. For that reason, I will keep the logo I made longer than all the other logos I have made so far. I just wont be able to change it for 12 days.

I think I would have applied to go with them had it not been for school. There are just to many things in my life to be able to maintain an open schedule for everything. I have another scheduling conflict with Sim tonight. Somehow, I have to find a way to get ahold of him to tell him to come back sooner than 5pm. I will leave this one to God. I am sure Deer Lakes phone number is around here somewhere.

Also in church today was our vicor’s last day. He is a pretty cool guy, and has great potential for where ever he goes next. Maybe if we delay hiring this new pastor, we can get him in a year. After all, that is how we got Pastor Todd.

Well I have many things to do today, especially if I want to get in some DDR time before I have to give the pads back to PK :-). Maybe I really should buy my own just to get it over with.

I wanna give out a special shout out to a few people this morning. Amber, you rock! Have a safe trip, and I hope all goes well with you and Jon *wink wink*. Also, one out to Nikki, you always find a way to brighten my morning, early morning, or really really early morning. I gotta shout out to PK for giving me those two files I needed to repair the SC3K, without that well, I might not have the next idea for this website! Maria, hope your having a great time in Europe with all those ‘hot’ guys. And last but not least for this run of shout outs, Sim! You give me the best comical view of myself in those comics that don’t yet exist!

That’s it for this morning, off to work I go.

So I went and did stuff with Nikki and PK tonight after Nikki got off work. It was fun. We walked around the park, talked about life, and just enjoyed each other’s company. I have the best friends around. I am sure you do too. I am sure most of us have great friends. Friends are good, friends are great.

We shot some pool, talked some more, shot some pool, talked some more. I don’t think they realize how much it actually does mean to me that they are willing to talk around me. I also don’t think I realize how much I really do suck at pool.

PK then left his DDR pads here. This could be very very bad. I have a feeling that I will hook them up and then you can say bye bye to Justin’s ability to move as he works his muscles till they refuse to hold him up.

I also talked to Alex tonight. He said something that has me somewhat perplexed. He said the talks with me were refreshing. That they had a different point of view than most highschoolers. I spent a good portion of my time on this subject. What makes me special? Am I special? Am I allowed to even feel special?

It’s times like these when I sit outside and get bitten by bugs. I sit and thoughts run through my head. Society wants us all to be special, but then claims that we are all equals. This is possible, but you can’t say we are all equals in the same thing. You instead have to say that you can compare apples to oranges and sum them for some kind of weird total of fruit.

It works but in terms of programming, no two humans are exclusively equal. We might all be coming from the same resources, but non of us are the same data.

Ok, enough with the computer metaphors. I just want to sit and talk.
