I Know Right?!

"Read some chapter of a devout book. It is very easy and most necessary, for just as you speak to God when at prayer, God speaks to you when you read..."

M.I.A.: All I want to do is...haha Im sure you can finish the lyric to the song. Sheesh it's been such a long time since I've blogged that I almost forgot how to! The entire month of October I didn't blog nor did I even read a blog! So here I am catching up on errone's blog and seeing whas new out there in the blog world. Man September 18th since my last entry, that's a fail on my part. Hmmm so whas new well for one I feel almost at peace, juss a few small things here and there but I guess I cant complain I got through a very busy month!

OKTOBERFEST: A week ago I was getting the stage ready for Passion, Leejay, and Gabe to go out and perform. Counting down to the final hours of Oktoberfest hoping that I'd be able to win something in the raffle the next day ha. ANyway, this year I ran entertainment again thinking that it would be chill easy as it has been the past couple of years. I think God knew that I was planning on making this my last year doing it so he decided to challenge me a little bit. And that he did alright, which probably why it made it so stressful at times. Praise God that he got me through it and praise God he sent me help. I gotta say I was able to do more things this year festival weekend then in the past thanks to some help. When I first was asked to chair it again this year they told me to put together a committee so I asked Joel to help and maan that guy is awesome. Despite his own busy and hectic schedule trying to balance life, he came through for me that weekend. Overall I think it went well there was a good mixture of entertainment and the meet in greet went well it wasnt as crazy as last year. However, afterwards the 'after party' at albertacos wasn't as crackin as I was hoping it would be. -_-

CONFIRMATION: God gave me a really good set of kids this year. There's this one kid who's reflections and responses inspire me. The theme I'm trying to implant into them this year is 'Imago Dei' being the image of God to others. One of the refelction questions Ive asked is how they can be a stain glass window for others to see and this is what he said...In order for me to shine my light to others I have to learn to be a good example as much as I can. This way people will see the example I'm leading and will say to themselves, "That's nice what he did, I should think about helping someone out today". Stained glass windows are made of different colored pieces of glass put together to make one big picture. This means that we all have different characteristics, but the only way we can be a stained glass window to others is when we show the better characteristics in us. We don't only help our family or relatives, we have to help complete strangers, if they need it, and also our friends and teachers because they're the ones that have the most respect for you. The urge to help others and be a good example to others is an easy thought, but really helping them and being the best you can be in front of them is the hard part about it. You don't have to do anything big either, one little thing can take something off the shoulders of someone, no matter how small. Also it might just be a nice thing to do and that feeling is the best to have.

WORK: Work at the elementary school as mos def. gotten easier. I thank God that first off that I have my job back and two that it's good paying job. So I guess God pulls you out of certain situations to put you in better ones. THe kid I work is freakin' cute he can be a handful and challenge but at the same time he makes me laugh. The first month was difficult for the both of us trying to adjust but now taht we have a sense of routine going it's the work day is so much smoother. For me, I'm still adjusting to the new skool site, working w/a completely different staff has been a transition. Supportive yes, but sometimes I dont get the type of response that I did at Danbrook. Hopefully things will get better later in the skool year. Oh yeah, the neighbors over there are real crazy!!!!! On Tuesday I had this guy follow me, trying to take a picture of my license plate only because I didnt make a complete stop at the stop sign. He literally followed me for a good 10 min!! What a freak! Who does that?! The kids are putting togeher a thanksgiving performance and one of the song is 'Colors of the Wind' from the movie Pochanatus. I got the coreo on lock! hahaha Oh yeah funny story this happened to me on halloween during recess. So for halloween I decided last minute to be 'Troy Bolton' from High School Musical. I thought it would be an easy and simple costume. This is wha happened at recess time with this enounter I had w/one of the first graders:

1st Grader: (Looks at my shirt trying to read what it says) Can I call you Jonathan?
Me: Umm no.
1st Grader: So what's your name?
Me: Mr. Fish
1st Grader: So can I juss call you 'Fish?'
Me: Uhh no, you can call me Mr. Fish though

haha inside my head I was laughing though how random is that! Later on he asks me, 'so are you suppose to be Zac Effron or something?' I said yes. hahahahaha oh man these kids crack me up!

SKOOL: I went back to skool this year to catch up on a couple of classses that I needed to transfer over. With my schedule being real crazy I decided to take the online classes, since I'm online all the time. Man its been difficult trying to get back into the routine again, especially doing homework! Oh why?! Good thing Im at a computer all afternoon at my other job otherwise I think I would've dropped the classes by now. The art one is crazy cuz the stupid instructor wants you to come up w/all these critical thinking type of responses to the different pieces of art work. Agh! Like I said good thing I have the other job where I can juss sit and take care of homework.

ELECTION: Ive been able to vote in the past 3 elections and this year's election feels like it has been the longest election year. I cant wait for Tuesday so it'll all be over already! No matter where you stand on the issues, its good to see that voter turn out, especially with young people has increased. They've really been pushing people to vote especially that 'don't vote' commercial. I hate how I hear the stupid vote no on prop 8 commercials all over the radio. In fact I've only heard of one 'vote yes' radio commercial and I haven't even seen any tv ads for it. The crazy thing is if it passes(hopefully it will) California is only going to have a bigger mess that it started with! There's going be lawsuits up the butt that the final decision will probably end up possibly at the US Supreme Court.

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: The other day I went to go watch high school musical 3. It was a random decision but I didnt get the chance to watch it last weekend. ANyway, it was aiight, not the greatest one. Maybe cuz it was all hyped up cuz its suppose to be 'senior year' and cuz it's in the theatres this time. Personally, my favorite was part 2 cuz of the music and wha not. I wonder if they're going to make a part 4, I hope not it would get kinda lame if they did. Its like one of those movies where the story never ends. Besides those kids are getting too old it would be weird. Well I guess thas all for now oh yeah makeitclap will be turning 6 this year! wooo!

"Its like the catching lighting, the chance of finding someone like you..."im done, im out GOd bless!
