Inside my mind

10/30/2006

Been a while, oops.

First off, my apologies for not posting in almost a month. Things have been pretty busy in my life as of lately, for starters tomorrow me and Wendy will enter a car decorating contest at church that has been generating some buzz around town. We are going to turn "Louie", a 1957 Chevy truck, into a pirate ship thanks to cardboard, wood, and a lot of creativity. I finished up that beach cruiser I started on over a year ago, just in time to take it around that car show I wanted to go to. My favorite moment so far with it, besides the day I finished it and rode it for the first time, was when I rode it to my favorite bike shop in town. The door was wide open so I coasted in, and as I did and made my way to the back counter, two little boys looked at it wide eyed and said "Whoooooooooooa!!" I was sick on and off for a while this month, I felt bad about it because I had to drop out of some drama commitments at church, but I am pretty much back to being healthy now. Spiritually it seems like not a lot was going on, but I think I turned a corner in just the last day. I prayed to God last night from my heart, telling Him that now more than ever I realized how much I truly need Him, I need His help, mercy, and grace to guide my life.

I have noticed one thing when it comes to this blog: The more I do stuff that I do, the less I seem to have to write about. I guess at the end of the day sometimes I just don't feel like creating something, I feel more like putting my brain in a state of suspended animation and just go with the flow. Halloween is around the corner, which means one thing around here: display season *shudder*. From now until Christmas my parents and some assorted family members will pitch in, sacrifice free time, and get stressed out all in the name of fun decorating the yard for Halloween and then Christmas. This means that any spare minute I have is expected to be spent helping out when sometimes I got other things that I want to be able to do or get done. One case in point: I want to get that beach cruiser of mine done. The paint has been finished off and some parts are on order, I want to have it done so I can cruise it at a local car show at the end of the month. I guess I can't complain much about my situation, if I had set better goals for myself a few years back I would have been out on my own by now leaving me free from this headache.
