3 Month's Later...

Hello again, how are you all doing? Today I thought I would write about something that seemed funny to me. I was at my other blog at myspace.com and I realized that I don't even know a few of the people that talk to me or invite me to be their online friends. For example, I made a friend that lives in Virginia. I was looking at one of my band fan sites (Kutless) and they mentioned that one of the members of the band had a brother on myspace so I decided to say hi to him. Anyway now we write on each others blogs and shoot the breeze. It's kinda funny to think that we can meet people that we don't even know except for a little profile on their page and maybe a song that plays in the background. That's about all I have to say right now but stay tuned because I will start writing more often again.

Sibling Rivalries

I got half of this done on the 19th of August and then I had to housesit for a little over a week and when I got back I just got out of the habit of blogging. Anyway I'm gonna finish it now and see if you are all still checking my blog to make sure I didn't die. So, here I go again:

I know a brother and sister that were the worst of enemies. There is a age gap of 7 years between them and they took every chance available to inflict pain whether it be physical or just verbal to the other. The sister had and still does have the mid-teen mentality of thinking that she is always right. The brother on the other hand is a pretty laid back guy who will take most anything that comes his way so that he can avoid problems. But then again there is only so much you can take before you explode, right? Here is a tale of their adventures.

Let's just say the sisters name is "Heather" and the brothers name is "Chris". Those are two solid names. Anyway back to the story.

I'll start by telling you that Heather enjoyed bullying Chris because he is so much younger than her (7 years). The age gap ended at about 10. That's where we start.One day Heather had a friend come over to spend the night. Chris was sitting playing with his legos on the floor (and you don't mess with a lego building!). Heather came in the room and crushed his little project. As if that wasn't enough she had the audasity to put him in a choke hold to show off for her friend. How stupid can a 17 year old girl be? This was enough to push him over the edge, 10 years of punishment were about to be repaid in blood...

Chris couldn't get out of that choke hold and was furious about it. Without thought or hesitation he cocked his head forward and with his head in the chamber, he fired back in to Heather's nose. It was a bullseye. She released her hold on him and grabbed her nose. He turned around right away just to see that her shirt was already covered with blood. Chris had broke her nose.

After seeing to her clown nose appearance, his parents nearly killed him with punishment. He was the mature one of the two and was held in a higher esteem than her. His parents felt that even though Chris was younger, he, should have risen above her.

The relationship between them has never really been that great. Now it is more of a unspoken understanding to not get into fights. There have been a lot of slapped faces from Heather and threats of not letting Chris ever see his nieces or nephew along the road and thats why I end this story here with this warning. Whenever you are around a sibling, parent, or anyone else that you don't get along with just remember this story and be kind. You don't want to be like Chris and Heather. Especially for those siblings that read this. Know that you are not only hurting yourself. You are causing you parents heartache. WWJD right?

Short But To The Point

I saw my reflection in a window last night and was remided of how really, really, really ridiculously good looking I am. I just wanted to appologize if I have made you jealous.

"Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday"

I just realized that I had only done the famous person one. So...here's the famous movie character I am. I took the test a few times and it came out with the same result so I'll just have accept it I guess. The "Godfather" actually has a lot of good characteristics so it's not all the bad of a thing I guess.

"70 Times 7"

I got this idea from Katie Fargher's site. Check it out. So far I'm the only one to comment on her blog guys, c'mon now. Check it out and post. I COMMAND YOU!! Here is the address... http://immobydick.blogspot.com/

This is a serious post:

It's hard when we have problems with someone and I'll admit that I have been bitter against others and regretted it later. In the past way long ago in my first year of college I made enemies with my dad over something dumb. The truth is, is that I don't even remember what it was. He and I have always been really good friends and in a way I'm his favorite. Our family is pretty distant from each other because we clash so much. He and I probably talk to each other the most and when things aren't good between us they really aren't good! Finally one of us breaks down and cries then we both cry. I saw him cry for the second time in his life a few months ago because we had yelled at each other and I basically told him that I didn't want to be around him if he wouldn't listen and trust me. It was foolish of me but it for some reason brought us closer the next day when we broke down because it was also the same day my His mom, my grandma died. I was her favorite. The truth is that she didn't even really like most of my family besides us. We went to visit her in California in November and she died in March. That was two grandma's in two years. So much else had been going on too. God has been faithful to put trials in my life. The way I see it is that He want's me to see something that I'm just not getting. He gives us trials to teach us and I know that he wants me to learn from them.

Back to what I was saying at the top. About two and a half years ago I was very bitter with him for a while and hadn't forgived him for something that he had done. I was in class in my first year of college and one of the school secretaries came up to me and gave me a folded up note that said that he had had a heart attack and was in the hospital. I was carpooling with a friend and had to find the class he was in. I'm an emotional guy and I was crying the whole time. My dad is an unbeliever and I wasn't ready for him to leave me. Not now. He wasn't ready to leave. I took one step into the hospital room and saw his face and had to walk out. He was ok but was I? What had I done. Part of the problem was from stress because of me. He has a pacemaker and is living day by day on it. I kept that note for a reminder for a while to not hold malice in my heart and now feel partly responsible for it. I try to go everywhere he goes when he's alone so that he'll have someone with him just in case. It's hard because like I said he isn't a believer and so he won't go to church. He goes hunting or somewhere else. He really shouldn't be going anywhere on his own until he fights to get into better shape as far as I'm concerned but he says that that is why he has life insurance. So that we will get money. He says that he wants to die and I know without me he would have left everyone and moved somewhere else. He talks to me about it all the time and seems to get more and more serious as time goes on. Pray for him and please don't hold onto any grudges as I did. It will come back and bite you.

Also pray for me as I have to approach a friend that I have wronged in the same way. I wouldn't forgive him for something that I thought he had done and since then I have been ignoring him flat out. I assumed the worst against my better judgement. I was to angry to approach him so I did the opposite. This is probably the worst thing I have done to a friend in my life and I don't know how things with ever be the same with us. I know if someone had done that to me I would forgive them I don't know how things could be the same with us.

For those of you from CCM, please don't go around asking who I'm talking about. You may know, you may not. It doesn't need to get past that. I just ask for your prayers and no more. Thank you.

I Did It Again

I decided that I didn't like my other description, so took the quiz again with more questions for more accuracy. Something tells me that I have an extreme split personality!!!

Is This An Accurate Description Of Me?

Well I can't get enough of this audio clip thing. It's so cool. It doesn't matter to me whether you listen to it or not and I'm sure it's just a novelty thing for the time being but for now I'm gonna enjoy it. As for sleeping, I wish I could do that when I'm supposed to. I'm falling asleep at work during my lunch but for the life of me I can't fall asleep here at home. There has been a lot going on in life for a while now and I am so exhausted but I still can't do it. I find myself staring at the clock for 45 minutes sometimes while I lay down. The song sums it up for me I guess. At least I have you all to blog too as well as my recent myspace.com web page.

p.s. I thought the shirt was funny. It's not the reason I can't sleep. :)
