Things That Make Me Want To Stab Myself In The Eye Vol. 1

i like to think that i'm not an angry person.

there are not a whole lot of things that really make me mad enough to want to punch through a wall.

one of those things, however, is when i'm trying to open a door but have to many things in my hands to easily accomplish the task.

does this piss anyone else off besides me?

i mean, sure, i could just put everything that i have in my hands down on the ground, open the door, pick everything back up WHILE trying to hold the door open long enough to barely get through it...but c'mon!

the worst is when i come back from the grocery store holding all of my bags and the front door is inevitably locked. then, i have to dig through my pockets and find my keys to unlock the door. and THEN, my roommates are too freakin' lazy to get off the couch and come open the door. 

this is just one of the few things that really annoys me.

stay tuned for another installement of "things that make me want to stab myself in the eye"!

Apologies..

It has been far too long since i have posted, so i offer my apologies.

in an attempt to regain your respect and lost trust, i present to you:

Summer

This summer I'll be working as a Worship Intern at Grand Parkway Baptist Church in Sugarland, TX.

That means that I'll be seeing plenty of this guy:

I'm really excited about the internship.

I'm going to do my best to bring "Friends Are Friends Forever" and "Shout To The Lord" back into the worship lineup....but we'll see what happens.

Arrested Development

I like good comedy.

I like to laugh at awkward, unusual behavior.

I find completely ridiculous characters and personalities to be rather enjoyable.

Could there possibly be a television program with a combination of these three characteristics?

absolutely.

I have been told for years that this show is a "must watch", but never actually sat down to watch it.

I imagine that many of you are the same way.

Well, don't waste your life anymore on shows such as "America's Next Top Model" or "Project Runway".

Visit www.Hulu.com to watch Arrested Development for free.

I Just Vomitted

This is my roommate Tyler.


This is my roommate Grant.

I recently found these pictures that were taken by my roomates as a part of a dress-up photoshoot that took place in our house.

2 questions come to mind:

1) why?
2) why have they not been destroyed already?

Why allow these photos to remain in existence for over a year?!

Do yourself a favor...never leave pictures like these lying around for other people to find.
Because then they will end up on the internet.

ENJOY!

Insert Something Clever

I hate having to come up with titles for these blogs.
I usually sit around for 20 minutes trying to think of something super awesome/witty (which never happens. see above title)

Well, These past couple weeks have been pretty busy.
The closer that i get to the end of classes for the semester, the more i am completely incapable of completing simple tasks, such as studying, going to class, etc.
I'm just ready to not have classes for 3 months.

Also, I've been leading worship at Houston First Baptist Church for the past two weeks....it has been amazing.
It's really hard to go into a new church (especially one with thousands of members) and feel like you're connecting with the congregation, but I feel like the Lord has broken down any barriers that would usually be there.

It has been a ton of fun getting to play with great friends and amazing musicians.
It's rare that I get to call up musicians of my choice and have them join me on stage, so it has been a privilege.

I'll be leading worship at HFBC in the Chapel for another 5 weeks, so if you're in Houston, come on by and worship with us!

Easter

Easter weekend was a really great/decently busy weekend.

On Friday, I drove down to the woodlands and spend time with my parents, my sister Megan, and her foster son (soon to be adopted son!) Cooper.
It was great to see them and just catch up.
I don't get to see them very often because they live in Ft. Worth, so I try to take advantage of any time that I get to spend with them.

Saturday, I woke up and drove to Downtown Houston to meet up with my buddy Stephen at Houston First Baptist Church.
I will be helping them out by leading worship for the next seven weeks, so we had a lot of details to nail out.

Then I met up with with my friend Taylor at a guitar shop and just played around for a bit.
He puts me to shame when it comes to the guitar.
it was sad.

After playing guitar (aka me watching him play guitar), we went to grab some dinner at Empire Cafe on Westheimer.


This place is glorious.

After dinner, I headed towards Sugarland to stay the night with another friend.
I ended up sleeping in a room that smelled like dog pee. awesome.

and finally, Sunday morning I woke up and headed out to play at Grand Parkway Baptist Church.
I cannot express how much I love this church.
I interned there last summer with the youth, and will be interning there again this summer as the worship intern.
An embarrasing moment was when I thought that the service started at 9:30am, when in fact is started at 9:15am. oops.
So I was hanging out in the youth room upstairs when I hear that band start to play the opening song.
crap.
I ran down and waited patiently for the song to finish before walking on stage.
Needless to say, I felt like an idiot.

So there it is.
The longest and most pointless blog you'll ever read.
