Great Soundtrack and Great Movie
Recently I have fallen in love with the movie Dan in Real Life and the Soundtrack. I especially like the song To Be Surprised by Sondre Lerche. Actually this Sondre guy did the who soundtrack. It has a good mellow feel to it. Check it out!

I stole this "Book Quiz" from Melissa...
This is me...They say I am "very short and a little furry"...Hmmm.
You're The Hobbit!
by J.R.R. Tolkien
All you wanted was a nice cup of tea when some haggard crazy old man
came into your life and told you it was time to do something with yourself. Now you're
all conflicted about whether to stick with your stay-at-home lifestyle or follow this
crazy person into the wild. While you're very short and a little furry, you seem to be
surrounded by an even greater quantity of short folks lately. Try not to lose your ring,
but keep its value in perspective!

My Preppy Party
Awhile back I was deciding between having a Preppy or Gangtsa Theme to celebrate my 28th birthday. Well...As you can see I decided to go with the Preppy.
"So pop that collar and put on those pearls!"
I think it was a pretty big hit. We celebrated my special night with croquet, sparkling cider, and dancing at the Simpson home at Balboa. It was a night to remember!

Keep Breathing
Life is tough. Sometimes I feel like the song by Ingrid Michaelson "Keep Breathing." Basically all she does is keep repeating the same phrase over and over, but I still like it.
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing.
I can relate to this song. Sometimes life is too complicated and overwhelming, so all I can do is focus on my breathing. At the time, it seems to be the only thing I can handle. Do you ever feel like that?
Anyway, I am really into her music right now and I recommend you sample it. Her songs are pretty simple, yet relaxing and sometimes thought-provoking. I have four of her songs on my ipod (Keep Breathing, Breakable, The Way I am, Corner of Your Heart)...I like each of them.

Days Off
Sometimes I feel like I just work work work. After a long stretch of working I find myself longing for a day off. Especially after a hard trip like Camp Surf, I need a day to relax and unwind. Nod your head if you look forward to your days off.
However, recently I have found myself getting bored on my days off. Unless I am hanging out with my friends, I end up just sitting around in my living room watching TV, going on Myspace, or eating junk food. When I am alone I also start worrying about life (I think work and busyness can be a nice distraction from the realities of life). By the end of the day I sense that my day off was a waste and I am left feeling bored, lonely, unrested, and disappointed.
Some would suggest that I need to find more activities to help me relax and revive my soul. I love watching movies or playing games with friends, but what do I do when no one is available? I enjoy art and architecture, but for some reason it seems meaningless now. I think I have lost my sense of dreaming and passion.
Do you ever feel like me when it comes to days off?

Drowning
Do you ever feel like you are drowning? Not literal drowning, but as a metaphor.
Now that summer is here, I am getting swamped with jr. high events and all the issues that go with them. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who feels the weight of the issues that go on within the ministry. Parents complaining, students getting into trouble, problems with logistics and administration stuff, and the list goes on. The best way to illustrate the way I feel is the image above.
I am not depressed or anything, but a bit overwhelmed.

Potential Birthday Party Themes...
Ok...I know my birthday is not till November 18th, which is like 5 months away, but I am starting to think of themes for my next birthday bash. (I will be turning 28 by the way...Ahhh!)
Last year my party theme was "A Tacky Birthday." It was really fun, especially since everyone dressed up. We played pin the tail on the donkey, we decorated with toilet paper, and we served Twinkies as the cake...It was awesome!
This year I am considering a few birthday party themes...
Option #1: "A Preppy Birthday"
Option #2: "A Gangsta Birthday"
What's your vote? Do you have another suggestion for me?
