Nah, I'm not going the "one post a month" route as Jon suggested. I just haven't gotten into the cycle of blogging a lot like I used to do. Whatever. You can always call or e-mail me if you are just dying to know what I'm up to. And if you have neither, than that means I don't care about you and you can kiss my smelly armpits.
Now on to things!
I'm taking three classes this session rather than the usual two. I decided to get an extra gen. ed. class done since I'll most likely be gone up in Nor Cal for the Nov.-Dec. session. Kuya's boss from CityTeam is interested in my photography and wants me to work for them. I may be able to get it as an internship and get credit with Brooks, so pray that will work out. If not, I can still do it as an independant study with Brooks, but it just won't have that same flare on my resume like an internship would.
Through my church, I joined this "40 Days of Purpose" thing which is done through Rick Warren's The Purpose Drive Life. Now, I'm not a particular fan of the book (even though I've never read it). Mainly because it just seems too much like a self-help book, and that's just lame. Warren does disclaim that the book is much more than that, but still...it has that whole "improve your relationship with God and know the true meaning of life" feel to it. He just added "within 40 days" at the end of it. Anyway, I mainly joined the whole thing because all I do is sign up, join the college group, and I get a free hard cover copy of the book. I figure that it won't harm me to read the book, and I can meet and talk about God in a group setting. There is always a chance that I'll get something real good out of it, and I don't see how I can get dumber reading the book. Plus the college Bible study group that I go to every Thursday was replaced by this, so I might as well go. Anyway, the book isn't very intriguing and is pretty basic. Oh, well.
I also officially joined the youth band at church. Three of the original members went off to college, so I'm a replacement dude. Coolio. It'll take a bit for us to fully gel with one another since there's been a lot of new people coming in and old ones going out, but we'll be fine. Tim and I stayed up till 5 am last night recording some music we wrote. By the time we got it all figured out, we were way too tired to focus on playing really well for the recording. Heh. Awesome. I love staying over at the Philips. They have cable there. Adult Swim, baby!
That's all.

For me it wasn't so much that (it does talk about being part of a purpose that transcends yourself, which is good) but just that the things it was saying were very obvious. I felt like nobody should have to be told stuff like that. But I guess it can be good to be reminded of it every once in a while.
How come you're never on IM either? Man, I don't want to call your phone--that's lame. I hate phones.
Good luck with the band. I have faith in you that you will totally rock. Maybe you can warm up with a rousing rendition of "TROG-DOR" some time.
Hey Lem thats awesome that you're truly a musician now. No more sitting in your room playing for yourself. So how'd your wedding pics turn out? I think mine came out ok. I finally found an internet cafe that will let me use my own laptop so maybe I can start emailing some. Keep checking my blog. -later

PDL is just another one of those useless (but money-making!) fads in the popular evangelical scene, just like the Promise Keepers (anyone remember?). In a few years, will anyone remember that there was once a movement called PDL?
