Somewhere between the darkness and the light...

Today was a lazy day, got to chill with the boys and even ate some pizza. Then talked about video games. Wow its interesting how sometimes you find out something that totally makes you like someone even more than before.. and yes.. i have a tendancy to be a mess.. thanks for those who bear with me.. picnic tommorow.. gonna be good.

"Overwhelmed by the tide
of wanting nothing more..tonight
Than to take this time and make it all mine
It's coming around again"

White and flying 101

So for all of you that guessed at my last question, which i think was one... because i only know of two people who read this... the answer is actually white. The song is Matt Wertz... Red meets blue. My good friend Phil Griswold, who happens to be an artist, actually taught me that last year while riding in my car. When green meets red and red meets blue it creates white. Its easier to see when editing a photo. When you adjust the temperature you are adjusting the consistency of the red,green and blue colors. if you put them all at the highest intensity you get white. I find that super intriguing because its one of those "hidden secrets" we find in the world about God and how creative he is. Really makes you think what else is hidden out there in the world that has the mark of God in it. I need more revelations like that.

Today was fun. just worked... and came home after fighting traffic.. typical day. The highlight of today was by far visiting the third floor of the clear channel offices. It used to be the old Maverick records building, Madonna's label. So I got to check out Madonna's office and her extravagant crimson red bathroom with a black toilet.. Very similar look to my friend Dave's bathroom. Only he has a white toilet...

Well here is some more eye candy for you .. This was the view i saw when jumping out of a plane.. goes back to that whole How awesome God is especially at 13,000 feet

"Keep distracting me with that beauty.....leaving me wanting more"

Today was man day! Met with the guys, ate some semi ghetto eggs, then came home and watched macgyvere while doing laundry. Traffic was bad.. both going to work and coming back, which was really weird.. literally a total of almost four hours in the car today.. never a good thing . only made me want my moped more and more. Its funny.. today i realized that sometimes I take for granted how much God has done for me, and how much more he wants me to come to him first and trust him with my life. well i have left you with some eye candy of sorts... it was probably my most exciting thing i have ever done.. you should come with us next time we do it this october... Its so awesome to see how good of an artist God really is from that height... and then to be a part of it... WOW!!!!


what happens when green meets red and red meets blue? if anyone can answer that i will give them a prize.

my sister..

My sister is so wise! Lord thank you for her. don't you all wish you had sisters like Maria!!! Man group starts tommorow... I am pretty excited. Breakfast with Merlin and Dave.. Finally some accountablity. not much else to say now..

tuesday...another wreckless and used day

Tuesday, what a day especially when you get a long weekend out of it. I think I formed a new habit today. Working on the moped late at night. Ahhh.. so relaxing. I even found a way to shine rusted metal... Brush drill bit.. ooo amazing! Yesterday was the 4th, and i actually had a great time, even though for the first time in my life i felt all alone. You know how on holidays your supposed to be with close friends and family? Well I took a leap this 4th and decided to go to the party where i only knew two people and they were from work. IT was a great risk to take because i ended up having a blast and got to watch the fireworks from atop the valley and then later from a hot tub. Good times with the English man.

And for some reason this weekend two totally different people thought i looked like stephen Hyde from the 70s show. Its pretty hilarious. I was walking to the beach with a friend.. and dude in his car was like.. ."hey its that guy from the 70's show" It probably was the aviator sunglasses I was wearing. I by no means look "famous" But then it happened again at the party last night. Some young 18 year old girl who just happened to be hitting on myself and this 40 year old english guy I call my friend Andy, and shes like.. "hey is your name stephen? like from that 70s show?" haha.. funny funny.

Sunday I went to the beach, and got a mad sunburn, even with sunscreen. On top of that I still havn't gotten to surf with my new board yet. The surf was super small and not worth wrecking my board over.

I like new hobbies..

There is Hope!

Today was great. I got to sleep in, go for a run, do my laundry, watch some macgyver, and best of all I started to fix my moped. I took it to my friend Robin's house, where he has like twelve mopeds in pieces, and we stripped her down. IT was so much fun. I think I found my new hobbie. Now if i could just find someone who is really good at working on cars, and i had a garage and some money... it would be time to restore a 67 corvette!!

You can see in the pictures... the bike is susspended from a beam that holds up my neighbors garage. Then in the next picture you can see the little piston on the top of the enigine there. Yup.. that little 2 inch piston generates 2 horsepowers. Basically what happened was i took apart the engine and "freed" the piston which was frozen in rust.. oh how wd40 is my friend. It was great though, I felt like a mans man today. It was such a great feeling when that cylinder became free...the sense of accomplishment, right there in my very own 4 feet of a backyard.

Today was also great because it was my first real day off in a long time, so long i can't remember, maybe two weeks. Last week was phoenix with hall and oats. I didn't do anything i would normally do on a saterday, No one had anything planned and it felt great. Finally some Jon Mark time. Now i smell like wd40 and sweat...time for a shower.
