That is all. Haha.

Haha… I found this picture and laughed:

And I laughed at this too: Chad’s Ode to Love.

Well, looks like I didn’t blog yesterday. I think since like… August 3rd, I only missed one day in August… oh well. =)

Tomorrow, I’m supposed to do the Hairy Man 5k, but I haven’t ran in over a week and I’m not sure if my shin is up to it yet. We’ll see. I’m considering not running it and waiting for Race for the Cure, but the idea of waking up at 6, getting Round Rock donuts, then running the 5k at 8, seems exciting and fun. Haha… I had a dream the other day that I put on my running shoes and ran around some lake and did three miles easy. I have a feeling it’s not going to be like that tomorrow.

I brought my camera to work with me today, I feel like taking some pictures. Might go roaming around after work today…

“Through my glasses glare
you’ll see savoir faire
beneath my icy stare
I’ve got a retainer
Maybe I’m the physics main event
maybe I’m the chem club president
maybe even Texas Instruments
thinks that I’m coplanar
If you’re up
and if you want
a piece of me
wave goodbye and blow a kiss
Cause you can’t handle this” - Five Iron Frenzy

So I picked up a pull up bar the other day to put in Van and I’s room and it seems to be holding up alright. I think I felt bad for not running and I wanted to do some type of exercise, haha. Anyways, we installed it yesterday and I did some pull ups and now my abs are sore, haha…

Do you guys have a regular prayer schedule? For example, a lot of people pray before they eat, in the shower, etc. etc. Do you pray during those times, and/or have time you set aside to pray? What do you find is your best prayer time and what makes it the best? Do you think having a regular schedule is good/bad? Oh, I guess maybe I should save these questions for my Elements… but you all can answer them too. =)

I’ve heard that prayer should be a continuous lifestyle type thing, like you are always in conversation with God. Do you find you are able to do this? If you are, do you find or think it beneficial to also have a “quiet time” where you put aside time with the main intent of prayer?

“Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take ya
Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego baby why don’t we go

There’s a place called Kokomo
That’s where you wanna go to get away from it all” - Beach Boys

Well, I had a pleasant birthday, thanks everyone. =) After some early morning work on AndrewApproved.com and stuffing myself with some sweet things that will probably kill me someday, I went to sleep and woke up to a bajillion missed calls and voicemails. Haha, I wish I had saved the ones from Andrew, which were left before and after he discovered AndrewApproved.com.

Went to dinner with the family, which was tasty and then went to Olivia’s. On the way to Olivia’s, I inflicted my music upon Oriana, which is always quite amusing. =) Once at Olivia’s, I was forced to try on jeans and jeans and more jeans… I think Olivia’s flickr has more pictures from dinner and at her apartment.

So… yup, nothing too crazy, but enough little gems here and there for make it memorable nonetheless (like getting facebook spammed with messages, which I’m hesitant to say is pleasant, but it was memorable I suppose). Thanks. =) Oh yeah, and thanks to Van for the keyboard. =)

“I’ve been cheated by you since I don’t know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don’t know how but I suddenly lose control
There’s a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I’ve missed you
Yes, I’ve been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.” - ABBA

Well, I’m 23. Haha.

So, I decided to take today off and with that time, I have been busy and now I present to you: AndrewApproved.com.

Enjoy. =)

Yesterday, I went to volunteer at ARCH with some Elements people and it went well I believe. =) Afterwards, went to see The Departed with Essence and Viraj which was quite good. Apparently it is a remake of Infernal Affairs, but I never saw that, so this was my first time around with the plot/story. It was pretty intense. =) Recommended… very nice spy versus spy action.

SPOILER WARNING, DO NOT READ BELOW THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THE DEPARTED

So the one thing that bothered me was that they never tell you what was in the envelope Leonardo’s character gave to that one girl. I figured they were going to do something where Damon would follow that girl to her office as she opened what was in it after the funeral, when he realized that she was the doctor Leo was seeing. Anyways, I would guess that it had info about Damon being the rat, but what was the point of that scene anyways if they just dropped it? shrug

Oye, nights of DotA leave my head a little funny feeling. Haha… was fun, guys. =) It is rare that we get full 5v5 games (that aren’t on Battle.net with strangers)… it was pretty cool. We had Andrew and Jen connect from Florida and play too. Hope we weren’t too mean to you, Jen. =)

I was listening to my Andrew Approved iPod as we played DotA and it was quite amusing battling it out listening to Celine Dion and the like. Haha… your heart will not go on!!

“Revvin’ up your engine
Listen to her howlin’ roar

Beggin’ you to touch and go

I feel busy nowadays. For a while after I started working, I would just be insanely tired after work and didn’t feel like doing anything (even playing WoW, which is why I stopped originally). Now, I’ve adjusted to the working life and have been filling up my post-work hours with various activities (from small groups to website dev to exercising, etc.). Whew. I think I like the feeling of being generally busy, but not swamped. Makes me feel like I’m doing something… productive. Haha.

Another thing that I’ve been enjoying is living close to my sister. She cooks for me sometimes and other times I just go raid her fridge. =D It’s a nice hang out spot to get away from the usual too, which is refreshing sometimes. Just wanted to say thank you, sister, and I’ve enjoyed being able to drop by often. =)

The beginning/end of this song reminds me of the animated Justice League intro/theme song:

“Let me know that I’ve done wrong
When I’ve known this all along
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you’ve thrown away
Find out games you don’t wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I’ll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don’t tell anyone or you’ll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret” - All-American Rejects

And with that, I’m going to say the next chunk of lyrics I post will not be All-American Rejects, haha.

What’s that I hear on the horizon? Ahh, the thunderous sounds of Defense of the Ancients. Seems like we’re going to have a rather large partay tonight. ;)

“OHHH MY HOMIES!!!!”
