| i feel like there is a lot to say about what has been going on recently, but i think i'm gonna save it for later. For now though...
how insane is lost? i don't remember it being this crazy before...maybe it's because i usually watch lost a season at a time (meaning that i've watched the seasons one and two dvds in week-long sittings), but i feel like by the end of each episode, there is always a "what the hell" or "oh duuuuuuuuude" moment haha. It's a good thing that they have an ending to this series...and that everything should make sense by the end (hopefully)...otherwise i would be so pissed with all the weird crazy stuff that's been happening.
it's weird knowing that pretty much all of the scenes from lost are shot on the same island i'm on...stuff honestly looks familiar in a lot of scenes. They usually get a lot of people from the island to be extras and i think one of the jurors from kate's courtroom scenes in today's episode goes to my church here in oahu haha.
alright, sorry that this was such a lame post...

| so it's definitely been a really long time since i last wrote in this. Sometimes I'll write an entry and privatize it cause it's dumb, but even then, it's been a really long time since I actually wrote an entry. Every time I try to start it again, it just takes so long for me to write an entry so I get lazy. But obviously, since i'm in Hawaii doing a once in a lifetime type of experience kind of deal, I figured I should probably start writing and recording my experience before I forget it and regret not doing so.
So this past weekend me, chris, veronica, and tricia took holly (one of our regional directors who is visiting) around the island. When my parents came to visit me a couple weeks ago, I had a chance to take them to a lot of places, but I'm convinced that you have to be here for like a week to fully experience and eat what hawaii has to offer. First thing we did was we went to the swap meet at the stadium...definitely going back for souvenirs and stuff cause it's ridiculously cheap. They had a lot of knife stands that reminded me of joe haha. The thing about swap meets and flea markets is I'm never sure if they're worth buying stuff at cause I'm afraid that whatever I'll buy will just break within a week cause it's so cheap in quality. Then we went to pearl harbor, which I had already been twice before so far...once with my parents and another time with my church, who was having a special service aboard the USS Missouri (the battleship where the unconditional surrender was signed by the japanese back in WWII) which was really cool. Everytime I go to pearl harbor I always kinda dread it cause it's so touristy and sounds boring, but it's always really surreal to think about the attack and how ridiculously crazy it must've been. On a semi-related note...i was just reminded of Pearl Harbor, the movie, and how dumb ben affleck's acting is hahaha.
Went up to the northshore and got lunch at a shrimp truck...ah man it was so freaking good...i wish i took a picture. Then holly had the brilliant idea of stopping at this weird looking surfboard graveyard looking thing...and inside some jazz music was playing. And it was seriously one of the most awesome experiences over the past couple of months so far. The band that was playing was led by this guy named Ron Artis and his wife and eleven kids were all a part of the band. Apparently Ron used to be involved in the music industry back in california, but decided sometime ago that he just wanted to perform with his family. It was crazy to think that they were a family cause they were all so talented and most of them were still kids, maybe teenagers. It's kinda hard to describe why it was such a cool moment, but i guess it was mostly just awesome to hear some good music.
We had a chance to relax and have our devotional times at this cliff area that overlooked a beach...later on we got some slices of pie at this bakery that tricia knew about and watched the sunset at sunset beach...yeah kinda cliche haha.
So life here has been a lot of ups and downs...a lot of moments where it's just been really awesome, but also a lot of times where I just don't feel like anything makes sense or that people don't understand me very well...almost like i'm taking crazy pills haha...not that bad, but sometimes haha. Never in my life have I been so aware of how different or diverse people can be...which is a good thing to notice, i think.

| so i just got into some shane and shane stuff...and they are amazing. I think something that is really attractive in girls (yeah i know shane and shane aren't girls but whatever) is when their singing voice and their speaking voice are totally different...almost like you don't really know where the voice is coming from. Exhibit A: erin bucci had this sweet girl speaking voice and then out of nowhere this incredibly sultry and smoky and sexy and amazing voice would just erupt whenever she sang...ah man. That is what shane (i don't remember which one specifically, but i'm sure they both kinda have it) has...cause brian (my new roommate) was showing me the shane and shane dvd and one of them was teaching how to play their songs. And from speaking voice to singing voice...it was like whoa. haha...
i seriously wish that i could just erupt like that...like shane and shane...sometimes i really honestly feel like my heart to worship Him is so limited by my voice and the range that i'm "stuck" with. But seriously...i think thats so true about our lives in general...we're so stuck in this life and world of ours...our life of selfishness, pride, contempt, condescension, and negativity...with all the struggles and temptations that we face and our personal flaws or our flaws as human beings in general...it's seriously really really sad. It seriously was not meant to be this way...and sometimes when i'm singing at Flood or when i'm singing to myself or in my car...i can sense how contradicting this world is to His original creation. Moments like those are when i feel like i could scream my lungs out and it still would not be enough to properly express my heart for Him...or even my frustrations with myself or with Him...thats when i catch a glimpse of the world that we are stuck in...and the world that i yearn for and the God that i long to understand and draw near. This gap and this void that we feel at times (at least the void that i feel at times)...it was never meant to be that way, and i can feel it contrast against His heart and his grace...
hopefully...the lakers lose tommorow night so that the kings will get the seventh spot and play phoenix...cause seriously...i don't want to see the spurs in the first round...
indoor tommorow night...yessss... | | |
| so i'm listening to some old tritones recordings and stuff...and DAMN...erin bucci was/is so freaking hot...
yeah...that's all i had to say... | | |
| turning 21 was pretty low key, but i didn't really want it to be anything crazy so it was alright haha. If you know me, you know that i'm not too crazy or whatever about birthdays in general, so yeah i guess. But thanks to all you guys who left me an ecomment or a phone call, wishing me a happy birthday.
break has been very uneventful so far...i've been watching a lot of tv and stuff. i've been so bored that i've even kinda thought about starting up a facebook account for the hell of it. I don't know what it is about facebook that has made me hold back on starting up an account. I think a huge reason is because i'm pretty sure i would waste a lot more time just messing around with it and stuff. And i'm already really good at wasting time on the internet. Another reason is my hate for internet trends like myspace, facebook, and friendster (or at least back in the day when friendster was cool). I don't even have any real legit reasons to hate them...it just bugs me that everyone has one i guess haha.
alright lost is about to start...this post was really meaningless... | | |
