When They Say You're Not That Strong, You're Not That Weak.
Tiffany's playing Mario Kart Wii again, so I figured I'd just write a blog while she's doing so. I've had a pretty big headache all day and it's still continuing, which sucks of course. Honestly though I'm getting used to it again. I don't know what the deal is. I have been using a really old crappy CRT monitor at work while in training, whereas normally I would have a newer LCD screen, so maybe that has something to do with it.
So, my car worked for a few days since Randy worked on it, and today, after picking the dogs up from the mom-in-law's (where Randy is located), it died on me. Luckily, I was able to start it after a few tries, back it up and turn around, and then it died again. A few tries later, it started again and I got it down the street and started to turn the corner. Luckily, if I could make it over the hill, it was all downhill to where Randy was. About ten tries later to start the car it finally did, so I hit the gas and got up to about 35 mph with about a quarter mile to go and then it died again. Luckily though, I was able to coast into the driveway. We're now thinking it has to do with the wires that are connected to the part mentioned in an earlier post, so he messed with them and it started right back up and ran. He taped them in place, and that's the solution we're going with at the moment.
Christian called me out of the blue today to invite me to Men's Prayer at my old church, Calvary Chapel of OKC. Apparently, my old pastor's wife, and Christian's mother-in-law had "major surgery" and they're planning something special at Men's Prayer tomorrow morning. So I'll be waking my chipper butt up around 7am tomorrow so I can shower and get to the church. Here's hoping my car will start up and run. It'll be interesting to see a lot of the people I used to go to church with as, regrettably, I haven't kept touch with anyone except Christian (and it's been a while since I've talked to him even). In fact the last time I saw Christian was when I picked up the pictures from the wedding last year. Man, it's seriously been almost a year since I've seen him? Weird. How can every single daythat I'm at work wasting my life away seem to go on forever, yet I can sit here and think that there's almost no way it could be almost a year since I've seen Christian, or gone out of the country, or been married? Just weird, man.
I recently stumbled upon my compact disc recording of "Robot." That is seriously some good stuff. At work the other day I was telling Adrien (who's a movie/music dork like me) about Secrets of the Talking Machine and her response was, "And this is in Oklahoma?" Exactly. It doesn't make sense that these crazy people can actually be in Oklahoma, right? Right. I wish I had a recording of "Grass" and that "Time Problem" would actually come out, but oh well. I talked to Ross via Myspace a little bit yesterday or the day before or something and that was cool. He seems to be doing well. Now, thinking about how long it's been since I've seen him is another one of those things that I can't believe it's been so long. In fact it might have been since the wedding, if I'm not completely mistaken. Shame indeed, it is. Ross said he's been acting a lot and has a girlfriend of over a year or a year or almost a year or something like that. He seems to be happy, which is definitely a good thing.
While we're on the subject of people I haven't seen in a very long time, Nathan mentioned that he ran in to Evan recently. My long, lost father Johnny Evanseed... I didn't really get an update on how he was, but from looking at his Myspace page, he seems to be doing well. Is it sad that we're a generation that keeps in touch with friends and sometimes even family through Myspace? We can't be bothered to write letters or call each other these days, we either send a message on Myspace or just read comments that other people are leaving to get a feel for how said person is doing. Or, of course, there's the dreaded text message. I'm not saying I'm better than anyone else about this, because obviously I do it as well. And I'd much rather text than call in most cases. *Bathroom break* Aaaanyyywho.
Tiffany is finished playing Mario Kart now because she's on the hardest difficulty and it's difficult for her. I think I'm going to play some Call of Duty 4 now because it's double Experience Points weekend and I want to reap some of that stuff! COMMENT! And thanks for reading everyone. Hopefully you're all doing well and I'll see you soon.

I agree, it is crazy how fast time flies.
