stream of consciousness


I'm just going to write how I feel today. I am feeling pretty good...a little contemplative and sleepy. I'm certainly feeling a little guilty about my week's break from the CrC and working out, but I know that I will go back so I can honestly say I'm not worried about that. I really want to go to New Orleans and surprise my dad by showing up on his 50th birthday, but at the same time I know that will not be in my best interest to do considering the long drive that has to be by myself and the fact that I need to be back in ATL by 9:20 monday morning to go to my class...and that sucks. What should I do for my dad for his birthday then? All I can think to do is call him and say happy birthday because I have no money. That feels so "less than." I feel like I should do better than that, but I guess I'm doing the best I can, so that will have to do. I would have sent him a card, but what would it say? Plus father's day is next Sunday. I remember how last year I bought Father's Day cards for both of my dads in like April or something crazy like that...then I couldn't find them when it was time to send them off. Now I know where they are...I think. Naw for real, I put them in an important and prominent place. I almost bust my behind today on the top floor of Skiles in a water puddle that I was trying to avoid. These are the slipperiest flip flops ever. It's not safe to wear them in a pool area unless the area is cement and not tile, which really counts out the indoor CrC pool so I pretty much have to put my feet on that cruddy, cold and wet floor in there. I hope I don't get some foot disease from there. Epidemics are lurking all over campus though and I've done well to only get wringworm, so I think God has my back. I'll be ok, still cautious, but ok. Man, I am full...well my tummy is full. all I had today was a cheese burger from Juniors, some sweet tea, a packet of veggie tales fruit snacks and a packet of Gushers(in that order). I should NOT be full, but honestly I was full after midway through the cheeseburger. Am I really supposed to eat such small servings? That sucks. I guess it's better than being a bottomless pit and having the misfortune of obesity genes. That's not my lot in life. Everyone's lot in life that has major landscaping needs. The ones that are especially dangerous are the ones that we are not aware of, the kudzu problem that grows under cover and gets OUTTA CONTROL before its even detected. That's how sin in repressed (or suppressed) areas of our lives can creep up on us and make us miserable. That's when God allows us to break down and come to that point where we realize all we need is Him in our lives. Isn't God awesome? I know that my time of brokenness is coming. I don't know how or in what form of tragedy in my life, but I am sure that it is coming. It scares me, but at the same time, I guess I can see the outcome as well. I don't know if it's preventable. I would guess probably not. God really does have all of this planned out.(Ahhh... I just looked at the yahoo homepage and they are talking about hurricane Arlene hitting the gulf coast. Yeah, It's better that I don't drive to New Orleans this weekend then... I would basically be driving along the coast and that may not be the best thing for me to do at this particular time.)
