3:47 pm	Hello everyone, I haven't updated in awhile, so I guess I will... I don't think that the phrase "When it rains, it pours" is accurate at all. I believe that we only perceive what we think to be "pouring" when we are in a good mood and looking for the things that make us happy, but while we are down, we find things to make us feel sorry for ourselves and make us feel worse, as we feel that this is the way that it should be. This makes me think that during the down times, we should be looking for the everyday joy that is there even though we don't want to see it. But that also brings up another point, that perhaps we should look at the things which bring us down when we are too high... Food for thought... Well, I can't say that nothing's new in my life, but then again, those of you who actually know me know my life anyways. I have a little bit of a rough week in busy-ness coming up, so that should keep me occupied, which is a good thing. (Comment on this)

2:18 am	Real men of genius I was sitting around today, and I thought, you know what would be funny? A "Real Men of Genius" song dedicated to Warcraft players.... so I made one :) (Real men of geniiiuuuuusss) Today we salute you, Mr. Defense of the Ancients maker, (Mr. Defense of the Ancients maaakkker) You've decided who's playing and when, and who you want to kick for being new. (Can't stand those noobs!) But you sit like a king in his throne, although your throne may be your father's office chair. (Man that leather feels good!) If there's an ancient to defend, you're on them casting starfall in an instant. (So many troops are dyin'!) So crack open an icy cold bud light, Mr. vampiric aura, that is, if you can sneak one out of your parents fridge without getting caught. (Mr. Defense of the Ancients Maakeer...) (Comment on this)

2:07 pm	To everyone out there who has read my journal, I want to apologize to you. I posted my last journal update (which I have deleted) in anger and with an extreme lack of judgment. Sometimes, I think that we post on these blogs as if they are some sort of personal diary for only a select few to read. When you see me, I hope that you will not judge me by what I may have said, but perhaps give me a second chance to keep your views of me better than what I deserve. (Comment on this)

12:49 pm	Genghis Khan test Ok, this one is good, apparently some 16 million people are genetically related to Genghis Khan due to how many women he slept with (some research study by a university) anyway, I don't know if it's real, but it's a pretty cool test. 769,440 descendants - you're more genetically fit than 62% of the current population - 769,440. Nice. You're no Mongol warlord, but to have that many copies of your genetic code running around 800 years from now is pretty impressive. You're not at the top of the scoring spectrum, but, honestly, when you consider that the cheaters, swindlers, and football players of this world are statistically best-equipped to create children, scoring in the middle is something to be proud of. You have the right mixture of attributes. As you'll see below, some of your lines will die out, but your genetic material will thrive here on earth for a long time to come. A close friend of mine created a program to generate family trees for this test. It's based on your unique answers. We accounted for sterility, birth rates, death rates, disease, drug abuse, nitwitism, and accidents and came up with this, for you. Note that you'll have significant offspring with two separate partners; the second of your genetic lines is slighly faded to make the chart easier to read. The second line could represent either a second marriage or an affair: My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 99% on fitnessfactor Link: The Genghis Khan Genetic Fitness Test written by gwendolynbooks on OkCupid Free Online Dating, home of the 32-Type Dating Test (Comment on this)

11:51 am	The moves Well, I guess I'm now just a bum. I went through cabinets yesterday at my parents house looking for stuff they didn't want or didn't want to move, and got out of it with some good stuff, including one handle of Jack Daniels in a beautiful stem glass piece, that just happened to be, oh, say, 25 years old. And I got some books and other stuff too. You know, close family moving is a tough thing to go through, but I think it's bad when both your grandma and your parents move at the same time, to the same place, further away from you. Now I really have no home. It pretty much sucks, but as I don't know how long I'll be in the country for, I guess I can't complain too much. When I was home, I played on Sunday night for my church there. I got a solo intro, which wasn't so surprising, but the thing that did surprise me was when my Dad handed me a headset to sing into. Uh, I don't want to.... uh..., then he just walked away. Crap. I really can't harmonize, but I did my best. Oh yeah, I also learned how to can tomatoes yesterday afternoon, something that I, uh, ... really ... looked forward to. Ugh. Today I have to clean up my room, and somehow find space for the crap that I brought back. Guess I'll get to that, or, just stall some more on the net.Maybe I'll take some of those personality tests.... Current Mood: crazy (Comment on this)

8:18 am	Hello world. How is everyone doing out there? I haven't been sleeping well as of late, waking up every morning before 8 o'clock even though I don't have to. I don't know why, but it is kinda annoying when I don't go to bed before midnight ever, and usually between 1 and 2. Yesterday and Sunday night me and 6 other of my friends went up to Smith Mt. Lake and stayed with my gradma, went out on the boat, did tubing, stuff like that. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, even though Jim did get sick and we had to go back for a little bit. I also think I realized why I like driving so much, not having my own car for three weeks, driving makes me feel like I'm in control of the situation. I know that I'm never in control of any situation, but what can I say, everyone likes to feel in control sometimes. I know you all are wanting juicy little personal life details to feed off of, but I have to say that I sadly don't have any. Every girl that seems to show interest in me, or vice versa, turns out to be crazy, or just confuses me by the way they act. I would very much like to have a girlfriend, and you say, well, if you stop thinking about it, it might happen, but I say that I can't not think about it. It's been so long since I've had a caress, a hug, or even a hand held, that it would just be nice just to have physical contact with a person for more than a second. I know that God is putting me through this for a reason, I just would like to know it, so that maybe I can move on. Oh well, enough of this sentimental crap. My room at the frat is nearly ready the way I want it. All I have left is one wall to cover in decoration(y) type stuff. Everything else has turned out really well. I think I'm gonna work out in the yard today, get rid of all the crap in front of the house. Hope everyone out there is doing well wherever you may be in your life.

8:36 pm	I've been reading "The Problem of Pain" by C.S. Lewis, and I thought I'd share some of the things I've been reading with you all, for some of you wouldn't be reading this naturally :). Love and kindness are good together, but not naturally exclusive. For example, one can be kind to a person, but not love them. You have probably done this at some point. You can be kind to a person by telling them what they want to hear, therefore making them happy, but in doing so, you don't tell them the truth or rebuke them for what they may have done. This may make the person happy, but you are showing no love to the person by helping them to be better, or helping them to understand what they might have not known otherwise. On the other hand, you can love a person without being kind to them. One example of this is if you tell a person or do something for or towards a person which may hurt them momentarily, but may not make them happy. It may even scar them, but the wounding may help them to heal permanently. Scripturally, this theme pravails in the spoiling of bastard children or others who the character has no feeling of love toward, but then the character will teach their own children by rebuking them or condemning them for what they have done. This answers the question of "If God is supremely good, how can we live in pain and suffering?" Without the correction, which only comes with hurt, we would only be living in a world which would change continually to fit the person who wants to be happy, and all of the beings in it would never have a chance to act on their own. Personally, I would much rather live in a world that had pain and suffering, which comes along with love, than live in a world where I would have controll over my actions, as, if I lived in a world where no evil was possible, I would only be capable of doing good as good would change constantly, and I would never be given the oppurtunity to serve, or be served. I don't think I put it quite as elegantly as C.S. Lewis put it, but the gist of it is there. I hope I have entertained you, and I hope that God blesses each and every one of you, by causing greif and suffering so that each and every one of you has the opportunity to love each other, and hopefully, to love God.

2:20 pm	It's been a long time Wow.... Sorry folks, I didn't realize how it had been since I've updated. What can I say, I'm a horrible person :). Well, yet another school year has gone by, which only leaves me one left... so sad... I went to beach week with some of my friends from my fellowship and got to spend some quality time with them. By now, however, I've lost all my tan that I got there :). Also, I'm playing in worship band at my local church, which makes me quite happy. I think the only times when I actually forget whatever I'm doing and completely be myself is when I'm playing guitar, so being able to play at least a couple times a week is amazing. Summer Xa has also started, so I'm glad I get to see everybody that's here over the summer at least one time a week. It's quite lonely at my house.... I'm currently living in Hollymead, but my sis, and bro-in-law, and nephew are all gone since Saturday, and they won't be coming back until Sunday, so I'm here all by myself for the entire week. Sigh.... I could try to spend all my time near grounds, but it's 20 min away by car, and somehow I just can't bring myself to drive it everyday. I also have no job as of yet, so spending money on gas wouldn't be so swell either... I do get a lot of reading done though. I've read 6 books over the past 2 weeks. Two of them have been at least 700 pages. Today I booked a flight to Los Angeles in August. My frat has it's national get-together in August and I have been "elected" to go (which means that no one else could go), but it is an all-expense paid trip to the west coast, so it's not all bad :). Anyway, that's all I can think of right now. So, until later... ~Adam Current Mood: contemplative Current Music: "The Ghost of You" - My Chemical Romance (Comment on this)

9:46 am	New stuff Well, I haven't posted in quite some time, so I guess I'll do that. New things that are in my life, hmm..... This coming friday I will be leaving for Bolivia to build orphanages over spring break during the day and sharing the gospel message at night with various people. I am really looking forward to that. I'm actually thinking about going into full time missionary work after I graduate, which would probably be in a muslim country somewhere. Somewhere else might be cool too though... Let's see... Oh yeah, I also got a tattoo this past monday of a cross on my back, and If you would like to see a pic of it, you can go to my facebook account and check it out, but livejournal is not being so kind as to let me have pics up for free. Things have been going ok here, but I really feel just ready to be out of school, considering I spent my last two years of high school at the local community college. That makes a total of 5 years in college so far, which is getting to be triresome. I'm starting to learn Arabic from one of my friends, and I think that this could be a good thing. I also want to learn greek as well, but there just doesn't seem to be enough time for everything. I have no girlfriend, but there seems to be a predicament rising. I feel that I will be leaving to go to some foriegn country within the next 2-3 years. That seems like a small amount of time to actually have a relationship grow. We'll see though. Well, I better get off to the shower so people at church don't want to move away from me because I smell bad. Everyone out there have a good sunday.

1:25 am	Syriana Well, tonight I went to go see Syriana and had my hopes high for a great movie. I was thoroughly dissapointed. In fact, as I walked out of the movie theater, I said "Well, that was $8.50 and two and a half hours of my life wasted." The movie has no plot connections between characters until the last fifteen minutes, which leaves the entire audience jumping from scene to scene with no idea what's going on. An hour and a half into the movie, I looked at trhe time and wondered when it would be over. As my dad says, you should judge a movie by how long you think you've been in the theater. In that case, this movie receives one thumb down. When one of the main characters, played by George Clooney, dies at the end, I almost felt a sense of relief by the fact that there would be one less character and no more sidestories that lead nowhere. It also seems, as Kevin remarked when we were walking out of the theater, that his character in entirety could have been left out, and the movie would have just as much sense, if not more than it does already. It seems that if a person directs a movie and wants to be in it, there's no other choice, they just have to add another unnecessary person who does nothing yet gets half of the film time. Overall, I wonder how this movie got such good reviews. This probably only happened because the film bashed the United States, and the media eats that up. I would have rather spent my entire evening writing a paper than going to the movie, and anyone who knows how much I love writing papers would realize the magnitude of this statement.

6:38 pm	So, I'm 21 now. Yay, went out to three bars throughout the twenty four hours. Was at West Main on friday noght when the clock struck midnight, then proceeded to have a rum and coke, a long island, and a shot of jager. Then at lunch, had a beer at Millers, then two at dinner in Richmond. After that I headed to Maartens, and had two mixed drinks, another long island, and a martini.And then another rum and coke back at Danielle and Jamie's place. So, funny story for my birthday. Well, my family had dinner reservations at Buckhead's in Richmond at 6:30, so I figured we would be out around 8 or more likely 8:30. Well, we didn't get out until 9, so I rushed back so I could get to Maarten's at 10, which is when I told everyone to be there. Didn't get to Maarten's until 10:15, and when I walked in, I didn't see anyone I knew there. About ten people I knew were gonna come, and uh, no one was there. So, I made some calls, and nobody picked up. Kirsten and Newob came at around 10:30, so I sat at Maarten's for fifteen minutes on my birthday alone. No, this isn't a sap story, I thought it was really funny. The best part was when the guy asked for my ID and I showed it to him, and then he told me happy birthday. HAHAHAHHAHAHA. Thanks to all the people that did come though, and shouts out to Kirsten, Leber, Newob, Alex, Danielle, Steve, and Jamie. It's almost Christmas time, especially with the fact that my immediate family is doing Christmas on Saturday. I still don't think I'll be in the mood until I hear Jeff Decker play Christmas songs. For those of you who have no idea who Jeff Decker is, (which is probably a majority) he is the sax player in the band that plays with no cover on Wednesday nights at Millers. Highly recommended. Free jazz is always cool. Anyway, I think I'm off to Millers now to hear them play. Not sure if they'll do Christmas song today, I know for sure they'll do it next Wednesday, but not sure about tonight. You all have a great evening, and make sure to think why we even have a holiday at this time of the year. PC OWT Current Mood: mellow Current Music: "Down" - 311 (Comment on this)

9:20 pm	Anonymous Ok, I received a post from an anonymous person that I should update my blog. Wel, it is true that I should update, but still, there's no reason why this comment should come from an anonymous sender. Really...That being said, I guess I should go ahead and catch up on reflecting. I am currently sitting in the first floor of Clemons, while working on my two 10 page papers that are due on monday and tuesday. It sucks. I've been in this freakin library since, oh, about 11 am, with a two hour break from 4-6 to eat dinner and watch a little of the USC UCLA game, to which I should prolly find out the score to. The semesters nearly over, and I'm quite glad, as for next spring and fall I'll only be taking 12 credits each. I think I'm even going to graduate early doing that. Now all I have to do is pass my classes. Oh, academic stuff really boring you say? Yeah, it is... So on to more exciting personal life inputs! Oh yeah, that's right, I have no personal life... or my only personal life at the moment happens to be a relationship with a book called De Natura Deorum. Sucks to you Cicero. I have come to realize that I really do have the most horrible luck with women. I don't know exactly what it is, but I see very few girls who are attracted to me, but yet won't become friends with me first, and just want me to ask them out right away. Of course this could all be the fault of the members of chi alpha, who's secret goal is that none of the guys and gals will ever hang out together. Well, I'm through with Mary Jo (girl from summer, read previous). Text messages me a couple of months ago to tell me she needs space (when we had decided on becoming friends) and then we start talking a little again, and didn't even return my phone call when I asked her how her dad was doing after he had surgery. Really, doesn't return messages for weeks. This is not something friends do, this is treating me like dirt. So, Adam = pissed off. Then there are girls who I would like to get to know better, but will barely say "Hi" to me due to the utter segregation at chi alpha. Break's nearly here, but guess what's closer! My birthday! yay. fo shizzle. 21 finally. Nobody to hassle me anymore. Really, that's all I'm looking forward to, I will prolly never go out to bars and drink, most of it will be with my friends, but not having certain people crawling down my back will be the best thing about it. I'm also going to get a tatoo soon. If you wanted to check it out http://www.bullseyetattoos.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1319 Ok, so I'm getting back to work now, and I hope all of you out there in internet land are having a good day.

12:59 pm	Ok, Ok, Ok... So, I just checked out the xbox 360 to see exactly what it has to offer, and why I should buy this system they tell is the next best thing since sliced bread. As I scroll through the xbox website, I am hardpressed to see exactly why this xbox 360 is so much different than the regular xbox. Well, I finally find it, underneath the specification of what it's capapble of. Can you guess what it is? It has the OPTION of playing your games in high definition resolution. So, I say to myself, is this the only thing that people are paying $700 for? Yes, it is. So, on top of spending $700 for a xbox, when they sell ones for quite a bit less than $200, you would have to have a TV that is capable of displaying high definition, and component cables. Well, the best buy in me says, why, they don't even sell a high definition TV for under $400, and that is quite a small, really crappy TV. Not to mention the fact that you're gonna have to pay prolly around $100 for a set of component cable made by the microsoft corporation. So, grand total of *calculator sounds* $1200 minimum in order to have your ultimate gaming experience. All this for just high definition, which, personally I don't think has any value on the type of TV I would buy. Oh yeah, I'll put a disclaimer at the end: I worked at best buy, and yes, I do know a bit about electronics, and yes, I do say this xbox system is a complete ripoff.

3:26 pm	Meh Well, I deleted my last journal entry, not much more to say than that. I don't like to sound like that, and it's a bad attitude. Anyway, off to post. I went and saw Saw II yesterday, and I didn't think it was as good as the first one. I won't post specific commentary on it, if you haven't seen it, or if you don't have a strong stomach :). I was a bit bloodier than the first one, and they actually posted people at the specific theater entrance to check ID for everyone going in. Not as good of a twist in this one, but still a good movie. I finally went to the library and copied my secondary sources for a paper that was originally due this coming thursday, but got movfed back two weeks. I'll get started on really writing it tomorrow hopefully, and then I might actually finish a paper before it's due! It would be a first. (Comment on this)

8:18 am	Well, I don't know if anybody ever reads this anymore, I'm never online on AIM and I guess most of my fans get my info through there. Maybe I'm just not interesting enough anymore :). It might be also due to the fact that I haven't updated in quite some time. Hmm, what to talk about ... HOW ABOUT THAT UPSET OF UVA OVER FSU!?!?!?!?!? YEAH BABY!!!!!!! So, my condolences naturally go out to all you FSU fans out there. My parents hadn't seen me for some time, and they had a thing this w/e for my church back home, so I went home, only to miss the game. I did watch it though... hmm.. Things going on with me... Adam's still single although I'm not sure I don't want to be single right now... Classes are going ok, I either bombed or aced my gospel and revelation test depending on whether or not the topic in an article I didn't read was what I thought it was. I think I have a good chance though. Hey, if I can't do religious studies, I can always become a sociology major, right? Haha, j/k to all you soc majors out there. (Seriously, though, we know it's an athletes major) Kevin and I have been getting up (for the past 4 days except saturday) at 7 to go to the gym, and I'm surprised we made it a little way, and hopefully this will become a habit. I need to get in shape. I went to go jog up a hill with someone on my back, which I could do in high school, and could brely more than walk. Ugh. I probably couldn't even run a 8 min mile now. So, here's a poll question to see if anybody's actually reading my journal. My best friend from high school Dylan has invited me to go down to longwood each week and practice and play with their club soccer team which he is the captain of. I would naturally love to do this, except that you have to be a Longwood student. So, I guess the question is, what do you the reading audience think? Maybe I'm just too nostalgic and just want to experience the good times I had on the soccer team from high school. Well, just let me know...

12:55 am	Hello out there. Well, things seem to be going quite well at the start of this semester. I mean, with this weather how can it be bad!? On the other hand though, I do think I'm coming down with a cold... Sniffling and sneezing the entire day... that sucks, but oh well. So, for the first time in my life, I have actually gotten a planner and have written down everything I have to do over the semester, when all my events are, and what homeowrk I have to do on which nights. It's pretty relieving. Although it did take me several hours tonight to do... On other eventful news, I think y'all might like this next story... So, I'm sitting in my Illicit Love class (medieval european literature in translation) and we're talking about one of the stories that we're reading. In the story, one of the characters is looking in on the two illicit lovers in bed, and my prof (a 65 year old british guy) goes off on a tangent. He talks of how voyuerism is common among these stories, and how it is common today as well. Apparently, he couldn't go to sleep one night, so he turns on his TV, and what should be on but a pornographic movie. "In the interest of seeing what was going on" he keeps on watching it, and to his surprise, there are other people in the movie watching the people having sex. So, he says to us, the message going across is, there's other people in the world, and that's it's perfectly normal to watch other people having sex, which the porno viewer would be doing. LMAO. Yes, I did sit in class today to hear my prof talk about his porno viewing experiences. Other than that, we had our first core group tonight, and I got to meet some people who would be in it, and it was good. Now, my nose is running, so I must run and find some tissue like apparatus and clean my nose, so it won't hate me. Hope everyone out there has found this enjoyable!
