Random thoughts of the day

I'm a goofy, outgoing person until I get to church, where I'm all shy and...quiet. What the heck is up with that? I'm NEVER shy! Interesting...

I'm sitting at the computer with my nifty hat and my headset on, and I feel very tech-ie. :) hehe

I forgot something at the end of this week. Forgot that it's not all about me.

Something big is happening, and I don't have a clue yet as to what. But I'm going to play a part in it.

Music is the soundtrack to life. Anyone who doesn't appreciate music hasn't heard enough of it. I mean seriously, try listening to The O.C. Supertones (the best band ever on earth) and being unhappy. You can't do it! I love music.

You Lose. But, wait...

Addiction. What a funny little thing. Isn't it strange how something we do for "us" can control us? And many times, we don't even realize we are being controlled. Isn't it also strange the things that can become our addiction? Cigarettes and drugs at least have an excuse...they are physical addictions. But the same can't be said about everything. People are addicted to so many things-- alcohol, sex, tobacco, shopping, vomiting, television, drugs, self-injury, pornography, emotional attention. The list can go on and on. So, here we are. Human, every one. Addiction or not, we screw up. It'll sneak up on you. One day you're fine, you're okay, you're fighting it at every turn and winning. You tear through every excuse you make for relapse and fight your own mind until you win. You shake, you cry, and you beg God for help. And you WIN! Until that one day that you...just ...don't. One emotional sucker-punch that you just weren't expecting. ...

"Take my world apart" - Lessons for surviving friendly dogs and conquering poverty

Today, a dog tried to eat me . Well, not completely, but it sure felt like it. There I was, with this (big) beautiful dog, super friendly and all (really, really big), and I was getting all sorts of tail wags and kisses. No problem. Every sign that I was reading from this (did I mention she was really big?) dog told me she was friendly. Her owner asked me to help put on a harness and size it. I was on one knee and having a hard time sizing it because she was so busy licking my face. I stood up and slipped it over her head, then pet her and began to clip it under her arms, just behind her forelegs. At the exact moment that I got both hands underneath her and I was bent so that her and I were literally nose-to-nose, she froze , for just a quarter of a second. No wagging, no movement, no licking. It was all the warning I got, and it was so fast, I had no time to react. Before I could finish my thought of "hmm, that's not good", she went ballistic. She lunged for my face and...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As the last few minutes of 2007 ticked away, I started reviewing the year in my mind. I don't know how the year was for you, but I can say that for me, it was a test of my mind, body and soul. 2007 was a year of doctors and disappointment, of death and sorrow, of trials and tears. There were patches of hope, of amazing love, friendship, family, smiles and laughter. New life, new experiences, and a renewing of sorts in my own life. Among my accomplishments in 2007, I quit smoking, a feat I thought impossible for a long time. I also completed my Animal Behavior College courses, and will be "officially" graduating later this month. I learned a lot, met some new people, and started going to Focal Point Church, which is one of those great things that happened in '07. One of the biggest things that has happened this year is that I've reorganized my priorities. I have had my perception altered, and as a result, my entire worldview has changed. I feel more like the perso...
