Apparently it’s Burning Bridges Week!
If you haven’t already, you’ve got less than 28 hours to do some serious damage to me!

If I were a truck, I would look like this one I saw outside the hardware store on Teutonia.

Random Thoughts:

I just got annihilated in an e-mail after asking someone to tell me
what they thought about the Ladder Theory. Sure there are some wild
elements, but it sure does a good job from a secular perspective. The
Interpreter and Fever Pitch were my two movies of the week, and I liked
both of them. Check the reviews section

No, I’m not getting any royalties! I hope the supplies last long enough
for you to get one – and pick budget shipping so it’s truly free.

I found this article quite interesting. It’s a quick read by Earl Creps on pages 4-6 and 8.

Yikes! I made my dad cry! He’s gotten some glowing comments about me
from customers and the like, but today he heard from a co-worker of
mine that put him in tears… Whatever I’m doing right, I’m gonna keep
doing!

Bummed. God is really talking to me… It’s not normally this loud of a voice, either.

Things are not going according to Nick’s plan, and I’m adjusting. Pardon me while I’m underground with the moles.

I never worry about things. I always seem to channel the energy to a
productive outlet, but I can’t help but be nervous right now.

I’m loaded. It’s official. I’m the 433,272,059 richest person on earth! How rich are you? >>

Thanks, Kristen. I thought I was doing so well….

I think my life is about to make a major change. Joe, my little
brother, and I were talking last night as I brought him home from work.
After I told him that I feel my life is largely controlled by forces
outside of my control, he told me to grab life by the horns. I told
him, “Joe, holding onto the horns is still just going for a ride!”

It’s so true in my life, though. The 1% that I can influence is
sometimes like the rudder of a large ship – amazingly influential.
Other times, I feel the 1% I have control over is a little box in the
cargo hold or worse yet, the toilet paper in the hold! Well, if God’s
at the helm, I’m at ease. The hardest part is keeping Him there.

If I wasn’t rewarded for doing things last minute, I probably would be
more responsible. But no. I turn in a paper late, and my professor is
glowing about how well written it is. What the?!?! Are you supposed to
be scolding me so I don’t do this again?

*sigh* I need to get some things sent in so I can register for next semester! I’m on track for an MBA in 2 years total.
