Prepared?

Can anyone really be fully prepared for college/life? I don’t really know. With my birthday five days away and college only sixty-seven I don’t even feel close to prepared. I wonder if that’s how every feels…of course I don’t know and probably won’t ever know because I don’t think I’d ever ask.

A Verse a Week

Once a week I want to bring a verse I’ve found. Maybe I’ll write a short paragraph on it. Just so you know I only use the KJV 1611 Bible. I think it’s the best.

Psalm 66:20

Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy.

This verse amazingly spoke to me this week. I ran across it during church. To me it means a lot. Especially the part about God not turning away a prayer. Something that I’m learning is a wonderful blessing as the days come closer to college. I know it will mean even more to me as college goes on and stress and life get to me. Hope this has been an encouragement to you.

Ben Blomdahl

Ben Blomdahl is my dad’s cousin…what does that make him to me…my 2nd cousin I think. He’s the only person in my family I know of that is “famous.” He didn’t play professional baseball very long because his wife got cancer. I think she’s still alive. Someday maybe I’ll meet him. I still haven’t.

Stress Affecting Life

Wow. Days are counting down toward my 18th birthday and even college. My 18th birthday is in 10 days and college is in 72. Everything is getting so close to responsibility that I don’t know I’m ready for. I must have been stressing lots. After to going to bed around 11pm I woke up this morning at 11:30am, and WOW did I feel refreshed. I must have been dead tired for the last week or so because all of that sleep would normally be bad for me but it really helped. I hope that this is just a one time thing because I don’t need this happening at college.

I have already met 4 people going to PCC this fall just through social networking. I love social networking. It’s amazing. I have met someone from: Oregon, Brazil, Florida, and Tenesse. It’s so weird. I just can’t believe that college is so close and that it will become a reality.

Like I already said: College is only 72 days away.

First Person Pole Vaulting

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pole vault? Well my friend has made that possible. He has a helmet cam and has video taped himself pole vaulting. I’m trying to help promote it because I think it’s the coolest thing in the world. It’s the only video of first person pole vaulting I’ve seen on youtube. Watch it and rate it 5 stars!

Personality Problem?

I don’t find any big problems with my personality. I don’t really know how to describe myself but I will try. I’m quiet at first…until I get ot know you. Then I’m kind of loud and more outgoing. I kind of feel awkward in social situations unless I’m sitting behind an instrument…I’m actually pretty much awkward unless I’m behind an instrument or if I’m talking to someone about music. I hope to make many friends at college. It’ll be something I work at.

College in 75 days

PCC Here I Come!

One of the final puzzle pieces has come to find a resting spot in my giant puzzle I sometimes call: life. I got work assistance at PCC! I think it’s one of the final confirmations I needed to know that God wanted me to go to PCC. Now all I have to do is work hard and study even harder.

Conspiracy Theory ;)

Haha. My friends were standing around talking and we decided to make up a conspiracy theory. Here’s it is: Seaworld is actually a secret military facility. I don’t remember why this came up…I know we were talking about dolphins and them difussing mines. This is why we are going to try to propagate this lie. Tell all of your friends.

Busy Weekend

Let’s see what’s going on this weekend/week beginning?

1. House sitting for a friend from Saturday all the way to Tuesday.

2. I have to work Saturday, Monday, Tuesday.

3. My church youth group is having a bazaar Saturday to raise money for camp.

4. Church.

5. Audition practice. I want to memorize at least one whole page. I need to or I won’t ever do it.

6. Get and plan a Father’s Day gift.

7. Relax.

Haha. Like I’ll ever get to #7.

Podcast Update Again

Every month I’ll update what podcasts I’m listening to.

So when I got my iPod last year I was introduced to the world of podcasts. You might be wondering what is a podcast?

A podcast is like a radio program except people can download a podcast to a portable media player (such as an iPod or other mp3 player) and listen to it at their convenience.

Now you know what a podcast is. I had very high standards when picking one. I’ll list them here. Most of them allow you to stream episodes from their websites. These discriptions are taken from they’re respective websites.

Nobody’s Listening - is a clean comedy podcast featuring funny true-life stories! The first one I listened to.

Geek Loves Nerd – a podcast hosted by a husband and wife,  they both share their opinions about life, faith, family, children, video games, movies… and it’s a little bit funny!
