As a girl, girlfriend, or wife, would you want a guy to let you win? Win at stuff like games and sports. One lady’s answer, yes. “Of course, if I kept losing, why would I want to play with him.” My answer was a no and then a question. As a guy, how do you feel about a girl beating you at something if you tried your hardest. His answer, I don’t know. It seems to vary between people. I think its got something to do with a guy’s ego. He can’t lose to a…girl. How could he get beat by a girl? This is the reason why sometimes guys give off the excuse that he let the girl win. What kind of BS is that? Also, in the presence of other guys, of course he can’t lose. Else his guy friends will make fun of him forever. What do you guys think for both questions?

Daily Events
I took 3 showers yesterday. 3! I took my morning shower and cleaned up the inside of my car in the afternoon. We were going to go out so I took another shower. After coming back from the pub everything wreaked of smoke so I took another shower.
Went to the e street cafe in encinitas on friday night. We were going to go check out open mic and some guy singing. I thought the cafe was kind of nice but the guy singing wasn’t that good. So we left. Tried to hit up a bar but there were all old people in there. Walked in and walked out.
Went to an irish pub last night. Playing darts is pretty fun, I like playing cricket. I don’t usually like to go to bars/clubs or any type of thing like that. I usually feel very uncomfortable. Plus most people there are in the drunken state and I find drunken people to be quite obnoxious sometimes. I was doing fine playing darts with our own little group until we decided to go outside. It was definitely a different atmosphere out there. Quite uncomfortable feeling. I think if I was with a guy then I’d feel more comfortable at those places. But that is not the case.
Regardless of my issues, I hope Marvin had a good birthday weekend.
Is Negativity Doubt Towards a Greater Purpose?
In short…
Is negativity doubt towards a greater purpose? That question got me thinking. My answer, yes and no. If you have no hope about anything at all, then yes you are doubting the greater purpose. Other than that no. When I’m negative I’m not doubting the greater purpose. I know there are better days and I know that petty things that happen to people in life, in the end, don’t really matter. Sometimes we are given hardship to learn from and struggle to grow from. And sometimes we need to be reminded.
Is optimism blind faith? Optimism is being able to see that there is something that is more important. It’s the hope that something exists. Is it faith? Yes. Is it blind? I don’t know, depends on your definition of faith.
Can we be negative? Sure, as long as we don’t forget that this isn’t all there is. Can we be optimistic? Sure, that’s what we need to drive us.
I Will Get There
Something to live by:
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. – Philippians 4:6-7
I was talking and thinking about churches the other day. Thinking about how I haven’t gone in such a long time. In more than a year. I miss it. I miss the worship. The worship was awesome. Once in awhile I get into this church hunting/researching thing. Looking for ones in the area and trying to see which one I’d want to go to. But of course, I never go. I don’t because I’m scared and concerned about a bunch of things that I shouldn’t be concerned about. Stupid stuff you’d probably think. Stuff that doesn’t matter of course. But it bothers me because that’s how I am. So then I don’t go. I just do the research. I imagine myself going. Imagine what its like. And that’s about as far as it gets. I just need someone to go with I think. At least once or twice. I’ll go. I will. Just not yet…
Goodness
Your hand is good, but mine is better, says my dad as we played cards. It was pretty funny.
It’s getting warm. I like it. I like it because I can wear a t-shirt throughout the day and night and not be cold. I like it cause I can sleep in shorts and a t-shirt and not be cold.
I enjoy looking at old family photos. It makes me happy.
“How young are you?” What a good question. That’s what the doctor asked me on Friday. Not how old are you but how young are you. Such a good idea. It should be used for everyone.
Motions…
I’m just going through the motions. That’s not a good thing. Day in and day out.
I’d have to say my favorite band is Lifehouse. The songs are so good. No Name Face is the best album.
Addiction
It’s like cigarettes. No, I don’t smoke. But its like it. You know how smokers sometimes NEED a cigarette when they’re stressing. I need something too. I need a soda. I know it sounds odd but its true. I’m also a gum junkie. I opened a new pack of gum yesterday. 14 pieces total. I gave 2 away and now there are only 3 pieces left. So between yesterday and today I chewed more than half the pack by myself! Also as I was stressing out at work today, I needed a soda. It’s like fuel. Indeed it did make me feel a little better.
Wondering
My mind is very dreamlike. I imagine things all the time. I imagine things that I want to do, things that I might never do, and sometimes just things. Sometimes I wonder its the subconscious telling me that I really want to do those things.
Sometimes I wonder about all the people I see, people I haven’t met. Could they be like the people I already know? Because after all, the people you’ve met were once those you haven’t met and you ended up getting along with them. There must be more of them. Then again, when you see random people in the grocery store or at the mall, you don’t know how they are. Doesn’t it make you wonder?
Bored
Oh, so if you are using the new blogger you don’t get the option to ftp. That’s lame.
I suck at basketball. I still don’t feel like I’m at full strength yet. All my shots are short. I get tired very easily. That may be due to being out of shape and still not fully recovered.
Why am I actually aware of Valentine’s Day this year? I’m usually not.
I need to make a list of things to do. Things that I haven’t done before or things that I haven’t done too often. Go places and have fun.
I like sunny days. The office is stuffy and outside is very nice.
This is boring.
Sweetness
The apartment is dimly lit with two clear sky scented pillar candles. The music hums softly in the background. I disturb the harmony for just a moment and pop open a can of Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola. None of that nasty red wine you used to make me drink because you told me sophisticated people did so. I’m not as sophisticated as you and I don’t want to be; I just want to be me. Tonight, my drink tastes a little sweeter. And my heart; is doing just fine without yours.
