The question on my mind recently. What would Jesus do? At the moment I feel somewhat reluctant to put myself to the test, whether due to current lack of willpower, commitment, or just apathy. But some day I do hope I will have the courage to live my life- even if just a week- always with that question in mind. Act accordingly, do what I can. Obviously, I can't be Jesus. I can't be sinless, always pure, always putting others exclusively before myself, but I hope I will try.
If you're in e-town, drop me a line. I always like hearing from people (even if I just get to read a blurb of a thought for a moment). Leave a question, a comment, a wise crack, anything will satisfy my curiosity.
Some day, I will Do.

The Striker Cometh.
The weekend in short:
Slept like the dickens Friday night, woke up around 9:30 Saturday.
Nothing very spectacular during the day.
Strummed a little guitar, surfed a little internet.
Saturday night, we went bowling once more. The three on my lane (two fellas and myself) did awesome all night. We all three rolled up our pant legs as if to say "yes, we are from the fifties!" Our team name was "Testosterone," and we tried to act as "macho" as we could while we bowled, grunting and growling at strikes and spares, bumping arms and cheering each other (we didn't get a chance to bust out the classic chest-bump). I put up all the names for people that were there. They were all Catholic sounding names, such as Brother this, Sister that, Friar so-and-so, Pope whats-his-face. Because of the macho/Catholic combo, the testosterone boys thought it would be really funny if we actually acted like that and we really were Catholic. Imagine it, three nice boys show up in their black and whites, acting humble and then BAM!, they start grunting and hurrah-ing and being as macho as possible. Yes, we did think it was funny. On Saturday they have Midnight Bowling, and colored pins in the right place can earn you some change (.50 cents plus depending on where they lie) if you get a strike. I got $4.50 from those. Also, they sell lucky strike tickets. Five tickets, two dollars. Your ticket is called, you write your lane number on the back, and they announce you on your next approach. $20 for a strike, $10 for a nine-count. I proceeded to get a strike. So, the two-some hour visit to the lanes netted me $7.50 total after accounting for buying my lucky strike tickets and paying to bowl and for shoes. I would call it a good night.
Sunday: church, lunch with mom at [censored] (you didn't think I would give it away, did you shortie? :P), picked up a couple records on the cheap (Visqueen and Presidents of the United States of America) from Easy Street Records. Great store, greater people.
40 Days small group at six. Enchiladas courtesy of Sheryl Lerin for dinner with chocolate chip cookie chasers.
Wow, I think that turned out longer than I thought it was.
Go team, go :).
Oh yeah, and I developed another roll of film today in photography, so tomorrow I may print me up a proof sheet if the spirit moves me.
Rock and roll, kids.

A Taste of Things to Come.
My first enlargement from Photography class. The photo is better quality in real life (as should be expected). In theory, there is more to come (not of the same photo, but from class). I should be getting more done, I just have to put more time in at the lab. If I actually go in on a day that isn't a class day, I should be able to get stuff done, and maybe get another enlargement online next week.

The Bitter Cold of...Autumn.
Yes, bitter cold. How it is. Weather report says 52 degrees. I'm not sure how cold that's supposed to feel, but it's pretty cold. I busted out my new winter jacket today (hoodies just don't cut it in the wind). Earlier I was wearing my wool/fleece ear/headband thing in the house just to keep from freezing. I doubt it will get better as the season goes on. One upside is that although it's cold and windy, it at least looks nice. We're still getting some sun, occasional rain and persistent clouds.
Saturday we went bowling, my arm is still sore. My high was 146 I believe. Near the end of the night I was definitely getting into my groove for throwing some strikes. Last frame of the last game I almost pulled out my Turkey Tenth, but threw a poor third ball and only took six pins.
Tonight I will be trying to keep myself warm and comfortable at home while watching Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars mini-series. Part one aired last night, part two tonight, but luckily for me they are re-airing one just before two starts. So, I'll get me a sweet four hours of Farscape action. Now, I'm against tv, but this show has kept me interested. It has excellent characters, smooth plot developement, and even a love story for those so inclined. Reality tv sucks.
Perhaps I'll be on the phone a bit with some friends, catching up with some, keeping up with others.
Live long and prosper.

Bible Battle Pity the Fool Bout X!
Look how lazy I am. I don't even know how long it's been since I posted, and I don't feel like looking. So, today we have the first ever double post!
Hoopa-dee-doo.
For the upper diddle of do, we have the Bible Battle verse of the day:
Even if Babylon reaches the sky
and fortifies her lofty stronghold,
I will send destroyers against her,"
declares the LORD.
- Jeremiah 51:53
Now up to bat is Daily Jibba-Jabba. Once again going back to the old international travel hoopla (as I may very well be this spring, yessssss), I bring you a website for finding tickets. I suppose it's already pretty well known, so this is only news for some. But the site of choice is Student Universe, which can find you some wicked cheap tickets for where you want to go. For example, I found a ticket to London from Seattle for $397 (which I may purchase in order to have myself one dilly-bar of a spring break). They seem to have pretty good prices, you just have to find the right time to travel. There are also some other resources on the site for your travel needs (national or inter-).
Go forth, travel and rejoice (I plan to).
Ca-ching, ca-ching.
