Thanks to everyone who celebrated my birthday with me. Thanks for all the phone calls, messages, and cards. I had wonderful company. :)

Ice Blocking is Painfully Fun
This weekend was great! It was beautiful outside. Nice and sunny, just how I like it. Went to a nearby park to play some football. It was a lot of fun. The park was pretty nice too. I think it was kind of nice to just be outside and hanging out. Also spent hours playing the wii. I didn’t realize that the wii could be that much fun. Everyone who played or watched had a good time. I like that. That way no one is bored while the other person is playing. Everyone was complaining about sore arms and elbows afterwards. Pretty funny. And we also went ice blocking!! That was one of the funnest (is that a word?) things I’ve done. Although I didn’t realize the blocks of ice would be soo small. Nevertheless, we figured out how to use them. Those things go fast! We didn’t even use it on grass, imagine how much faster it would have been if it was on grass. Like always, everything is all fun and games until someone gets hurt. The ice blocks are small and slippery, meaning it is difficult to stay on them all the way down the hill. I went on this one ride from all the way at the top – pretty steep. Charging down I must have just lifted off the ice block and came back down on the block or the floor (I’m thinking the block) several times really hard. Kind of like bouncing. I hit my tail bone really really hard. I was in a lot of pain and just kind of laid there on the floor. It hurt pretty bad. I was kind of scared to do it again. But I did a few more times later on before I called it a night. But now my tail bone is I think severely bruised or worse. There are definitely bruises on my butt and a couple dark bruises in the vicinity of my tail bone. It hurts to move and it hurts to not move. I can’t sit down normally and I really can’t lay flat on my back. So painful. So frustrating. You never realize how much your body uses every single part until you hurt one part. I can’t bend over. I have to sit on one side and it still hurts. I can’t get up or move down. It’s really lame right now. Although I hope its just a bruise and not a fracture. But its hard to say. And even if it is a fracture, there’s nothing much I can do but let it heal on its own. We’ll give it a week or as long as I can hold out before I see a doctor. It’s a big challenge to sleep though. :( Nevertheless, ice blocking was really fun! I’ll have to do it again, but not anytime soon. Today we also went to the beach. It was beautiful outside. It was hot thought. It hasn’t been this warm in awhile. The beach was packed. We were still able to find a spot to hang out though. I wasn’t able to do much which was lame because usually I’m down for the football/volleyball playing at the beach especially since I don’t usually like to go in the water. I just sat around (as best as I could) and took some photos. Oh yeah, daylight savings is early this year. I love it. Now it’ll be sunny when I leave work! Awesome! I love more daylight. Anyway its been a good weekend and I hope it’ll be a good week as well.
Happenings
It’s been stressful. Overwhelming? I don’t know. Stressful. Much to do and deadlines to meet. I gotta learn to relax, de-stress, and remain calm.
I also need to stop eating out. I eat out almost every meal. It’s so unhealthy!
I got new kicks. I like them. I think. I had trouble finding shoes I liked before but when I saw these, I was thinking that they were pretty cool. I also got a free pair of socks for trying them all. That one pair of socks was priced at $8. Who the heck wants to pay that much money for ONE pair of socks. Ridiculous.
I need to write about more interesting things…

I miss them.
Places
It’s not even 11 yet and I’m pretty tired. It’s been a long day. It feels like Sunday but good thing it isn’t. I think it was being out of the house and walking around everywhere that made me tired.
Places I went to:
Enterprise
Bed Bath & Beyond
Costco
Sears Essentials
Michael’s
Mervyns
Shoe Pavilion
Barnes & Nobles
Sports Authority
Coffee Bean
Rite Aid
Short break at home/friend’s house
Sears Essentials
Home Depot
Walmart
Wow that is a lot of places. It’s hard for me to shop for…a lot of things. Sometimes I’m pretty picky. Other times, its just hard to find stuff that fit. I’ve been meaning to get shoes for awhile now. My shoes are pretty old and the left one squeaks anytime I take a step. Aside from the fact that I’m not sure what type and color shoe I want, its hard to find some that fit comfortably. I have wide feet and women’s shoes just don’t really work for me. Plus I have to see how they look with my jeans on. I kind of want some dark brown shoes but at the same time I still like my white shoes. Who knows?
Don’t Let Me Win
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.
