Matthew 28:5-6

Sorry I didn't post anything for Easter. I'll just leave these words for you to read.
-----------
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise, Alleluia!
Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia!

-Christ the Lord is Risen Today, words by Charles Wesley

School in and school out.

I have been working my big butt off the last week or two trying to get grade A stuff into my classes. I'm taking a class on Flash, which is a great excuse to finally update, and be consistent with updating, my website. Last night was the highest point, hopefully, of intensity as far as work loads go. I didn't sleep a wink, and I worked on Flash assignments all night. It was mainly on a slideshow I need to make for class, ideally of potential pictures I will put up on my newly designed website. It'll be fully done by the end of April since that will be the same time classes end, and since the final project is a full-blown website published in the internet, I would think that is when my site will be done.

Today, we were taught how Dreamweaver and FTP works, so now I actually know what I'm doing when I upload my stuff on my site. I put up a test page on my site, so lemphotography.com isn't displaying the design it had before, but just a basic page. I did put my slideshow up on the site, though, so you can watch it if you like. Sorry that the flash movie is a large file, I haven't figured out how to compress the movies yet to make them smaller.

Even though it's a ton of work, it's a ton of welcomed work. At least I'm getting my site "refurbished" and getting more of my work out there; much of my pictures on the slideshow are of more recent work. In the end, my labors are actually heading somewhere.

Five Iron Frenzy's Our Newest Album Ever!

Every New Day

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again.
Jesus Christ, light of the world burning bright within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition,
without a beginning or an end.
Here's my heart, let it be forever Your's,
Only You can make every new day seem so new.

Screwy cycles.

I've been very messed up lately. I don't go to bed till after 2 am, skip breakfast, take noon-ish naps, catch a late lunch, and pass up dinner. My sleeping habits and eating cycles are all wrong. I think it's just laziness for the most part. I end up not wanting to spend time and energy to go eat, and I don't like to sleep when I'm not tired. I'm more tired at noon than in the late night; I guess it goes with being such a night owl. Glad that Luke had to pull an all-nighter tonight. He's keeping me company when I take breaks from watching The Shield and writing blog entries.

Note that my laziness really only goes as far as eating and sleeping. That sounds pretty stupid, but it's sort of true. I will work my butt off on concept designs for my website, or sit for hours on Flash to make a good animation for class. Church is good to go to, and I'll spend time at Bible study and talk theology with my friends. It's strange not giving in to your most basic needs just to go on living. Don't worry, I get by.

Compliment

And there it goes my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than
The world out there
