Strong like steel

Well the new work project to occupy my self with is to create a steel core longboard. I am taking a standard 3/8" deck and routing out a groove down the base of the deck to lay a strip of steel in that will re-enforce the strength of the board while still allowing it to flex under your weight and body movement. It will run almost the length of the board and I am thinking I will counter-sink 4 bolts through it to hold it on. We shall see how it all goes, let you know soon. Also my dad stepped it up a notch and bought a 20GB iPod that I just go done setting up for him. Go dad! This picture is of the guys on my DTS in New Zealand doing a Haka, a tribal war dance that calls for help from God and asks for courage in battle. I became the leader of this call during the time but haven't done it sense I have been home. I think I will go do it in my field now, later...

I am floating in time with not a hint of a steady wind to direct me in any general direction. I have a job and a steady pay check, but thats not what I want to do for the rest of my life. I dont like the job that much and I just don't think that it is really what I am supposed to be doing. Sweden has been put on hold till 2010 for good reasons so that wont be happening any time soon. All the contact I have had with SFC in Canada has lead to possibly halping out for a week over new years with a camp thing they are going to run. But as fall approaches I want more, I want to be out there doing something, something I love and something I know I am supposed to be doing. I feel the longer I am here at home with nothing planned the further from God I am getting and that is the last thing I want to happen. So help I just feel frusterated, I dont know what i want to do or what the next step is aside from to wait, but I dont even truely feel that close to God right now, so I guess thats the first thing I need to do. I am still struggling with the same sins from the past and present that I was before, and need to deal with myself before I can try to truely help others. i just with I had a goal, somehting to set my sights on. I mean I am really supposed to go to the missions field or was that me think that, should I go to college I know I would love it but is that what I am supposed to do??? I just am not sure of much anymore...

Verse for the Day: Nehimiah 1:8,9
'8 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, "If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; 9 but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place at which I have choosen to establish my name."

Let the music flow...

Wow has it really been a week sense I last updated I guess it has. For the most part in the last 7 days I have worked and slept and that's about it. There are only two other things worth mentioning now that have happened sense I last wrote. First is the fact that jury duty is the largest waste of time that I have yet encountered in my short life. Yes it is even worse than my honors senior English class where we studied Plato by making a cave out of play-doh. Sad yes. The other being that I now again have a cd player in my truck. The cd player function on my old deck decided to die on me after some worthless wastes of skin decided to try to steal it out of my truck at night. Needless to say they were dumb as rocks and didn't know what they were doing as they only resulted in seriously bending the shit out of the mounting brackets and breaking some on the outer parts on the deck it's self. Thanks a lot ass-holes hope you cut yourself open on the brackets while you were trying to figure out how to steal from me! Looks like I am going up to Corvallis this Saturday to help sam move up to college so I don't think I will be around. Pics of the finished longboard test product coming soon...

Madden 2006

So all today I stayed home, slept in, and played Madden 2006. This is a great game not only for the recreational sports title player but also for the serious sport fanatic. I am a big fan of the super star feature and the new passing system. Do yourself a favor and go check it out for your self today, it's worth the 8 bucks to rent it. However I am still sticking with soccer as the greatest game on Earth...

On a completely different note I read in the paper this morning about a shooting down in New Orleans. Now this was not a case of the military shooting some black looters or anything like that but a case of city police returning fire and killing five or six people who attacked a conductor convoy in route to help plug a canal breach. This is craziness, why would you attack someone who with a police escort who is trying to help you, how does that help anyone? Just goes to show this world is more messed up then we like to think.

Currently listing to: Radiohead "I Will"

Yep one word... Donnie. You might be cooler than Kanye if thats possible.

Thursday

Talk about a busy day... I knew coming into the office today that it was going to be a busy one and mentally prepared my self for whatever was thrown at me. That said it wasn't to bad of a day, towards the end of the day we started to fall be hind a little bit and had to call some jobs to tell them we were going to be late but everyone was very nice about it and we got the product in fast so all ended up going good. One strange thing that happened was we went into a home up in the newer part of eagle crest, a little old lady answered the door and let us in. I walk in the living room and there relaxing on the couch is a girl that I went to school with, now I know who she is and all but she was never someone that I was friends with or anything so I am not sure that she even recognized me. This was expected, the strange part was that the old lady was treating her like she was her daughter but the girl had a different last name than the job name and there were no pictures of her in the house. I found this to be very strange as it was obvious that she was living with this woman. Well that was about the most exciting thing to happen today. I am still waiting on info about a job at DB from a friend of mine but he seems to busy selling houses to get back to me... Or maybe he is still selling drinks to Kevin.
