Chapter four is finished. I already published it by accident, so it's up...but somewhere further down. I'll bump it to the top once I give it a once over.

Later llamas.

So it turns out they make you jump through hoops to get into the fire academy...not as easy as applying to regular classes. Darn. Well, if was easy as that, everyone would do it, right?? More than half their class winds up dropping out anyways.

New Project 86 and John Reuben music released today. It's all quite good.

Sorry, ch. 4 is still incomplete... but I finished Inkdeath! Very odd book. It seemed a little hastily written to me. It was a really good story but it almost felt like the author was in a hurry to be finished.

So.

Interesting day.

-I met with three dudes in my caregroup to discuss Kevin DeYoung's "Just Do Something" message/book. Very convicting stuff...just do something! Very sound advice.

-Went to Dave and Buster's for the first time with coworkers. I lost a lot of games, including air hockey which used to be MY TURF. I used to be UNSTOPPABLE. But alas, no longer.

-But! A small triumph. I put a new high score on their Galaga machine. I really want to go back someday and have it still be there.

-Went to a restaurant called Johnny Carino's, got the worst service anywhere, ever. My coffee was COLD, among other problems...

-Psych is the best show ever. Ok, second or third best.

Bye! I will work on chapter four soon, I promise! I applied to the fire academy! I will also post something when I find out if I'm in or not...

I will truuuuust you, cause I know what a promise can do...

Quite an exciting day yesterday. Or very full at least. It consisted of:

-Meeting Jeremy and Chad in the morning. For once I did not spill my coffee.

-Working a good 8 hour shift, eating some tasty Heidi's for lunch.

-Cleaning someone's gutters, which was quite the adventure. I fell off the roof! Eee!! I risked life and limb for...sixty bucks! Not bad. Well, my share was 30...

-Caregroup, which wound up mostly consisting of throwing fireworks in the rain. Woot.

-Chilling with Chad, playing Littlebigplanet, which is one of my new favorite video games till I was about to fall asleep with exhaustion...

Whoa

I'll admit it. I haven't been writing much lately...I've been absorbed by Inkdeath! It's a very interesting read.

I bought two cds today, FM Static and Thrice. Love 'em.

I also...can't think of much of anything interesting to report. We got a call from someone who wants his gutters cleaned last night, and when Derrick and I talked about it, we realized neither of us actually knew how to clean a gutter...

I found paper lanterns at the dollar store in lemon guaca colors, but I'm not sure if they're going to work out. One broke. I'm going to try to exchange it, so we shall see...I've always loved paper lanterns, so I hope they work out! Paper lanterns and wind chimes...two things I will admit I love.

Chapter 4 ends with a bang! I am excited to finish it soon, hopefully tomorrow morning...the plot speeds up a little bit soon too, which sounds lovely to me...

Later llamas.

In-Dependence Day?

My hands smelled like funyuns last night. Just thought you'd like to know.

Right now?? They smell like sleep. You can tell I have woken up within the last few hours...

It is Independence Day, but sadly, I have very little independence to speak of. I have to go to work! ALL DAY. 11-7. Not a particularly fun shift. Happy Fourth of July to you all the same. I am all out of time, so I must make ready to get to work.

None. I think I need to work on my time management and prioritizing, no??

I have made a little bit of progress on Chapter Four though. My main goals right now:

-Getting ready for fire academy

-Finding a roommate and an apartment

-Getting chapters written

-Spending more time with God

-Working on my evangelism skillz.

Oh! And I supposedly have a business, so I should probably be getting my side work done too!

Chapter Four is underwaaaay!! This will be the last chapter I post for awhile, probably. I will still be at work but it will be silent work, like when you see a duck floating serenely along the water, and its legs are paddling furiously.

Now, if you don't like this, and would like to read further chapters, feel free to protest...but. I don't see this happening. And you know, I am a resolute man, all the time. I never change my mind or flake out.

Ever.

So actually I probably won't change my mind even if you beg and plead. So there.
