*yawn* what day is today..? i really cant keep it all straight anymore..

well, on thursday i did nothing but write scholarship essays until about 7, when i went over to jeremy chu's house for a special JPG meeting..
with free room and board attached..
..as well as a continental breakfast!
heh..anyways, d-group was pretty fun..
all those sell-outs ended up falling asleep though..but i, the almighty movie warrior, plastered my eyes open the entire night!
i dont think i even slept a wink!
in the meantime, i watched a total of 4 movies..
well..4 and a 1/2..

the night began with final destination, which all the JPGs watched..
i must say, it was a rather good movie -- good plot, good ending. i wanna see the sequel now!!
but anyways..now david zhu is too scared to go into the bathroom to relieve himself..
..but yes, that is irrelevant.

next i watched about 1/2 of office space..but its humor was too..eh..sophisticated for my taste.

the original kings of comedy followed..and MAN that was hilarious! well, at least steve harvey and bernie mac were..
hehehe..

the night continued with the whole nine yards, a magnificent movie..

john q came last..and i was basically the only one who was still awake..
but, yes, the night also included some wayne gretzky hockey, nfl blitz, and nba 2k2..

but, alas, poor me, i had to go to work on friday with baggy eyes and a body supped of all its energy..
but good thing i got my paycheck today =) that always manages to give me energy..$242.61 baby!!

oh, and btw, yao ming made his 1st 3-pointer tonight.
..just thought id add that in..

ack. its getting late. and my clothes are finally done washing. so now i have clothes to wear tomorrow! yay!
..i dont hear you CELEBRATING with me..
..yeah, thats more like it.

If I were a Dentist, What a Difference I Would Make

In the world today, dentists are well respected because the general public relies on them to take care of their teeth. If I were a dentist, I would make sure my dental services were never needed.

Allow me to explain. Everyone is aware of a dentist’s job description: filling painful cavities, lecturing on the importance of flossing, and scaring the feces out of children. Basically, a dentist’s job only exists because people are unaware of the value of taking care of their own set of teeth. As a dentist, I would go from door to door, as a sort of dental evangelist, to share my testimony on how far a bit of brushing and flossing goes. My pearly-white smile would soon appear in local newspapers, as more and more people would thank me because they no longer had to visit a dentist office every six months. After visiting every house in the city, I would begin raising funds to go to major cities as a dental missionary. While standing before sell-out crowds at baseball stadiums all over the country, I would explain to non-brushers and non-flossers of all faces how two minutes each day could bring huge dividends to their teeth in the long run. Before long, I would no doubt have enough recognition and support to receive air-time on national television, where I would display a few select pictures of rotten teeth that would send even the bravest of dentists running to their toothbrushes. Next, I would establish a dental hygiene interest group. This organization would be non-profit, of course, but I would accept donations to continue advocating my cause. Once I received enough recognition, I would begin planning for the next presidential campaign. My motto? The famous dental piece of advice: you don’t have to brush your teeth – just the ones you want to keep. I would run as an independent in the election, sharing my personal story on how I care for people enough to sacrifice my college education, time, and career to let people know how to take care of their teeth. People would see my genuineness and see how perfect I would be as a leader of this great country. After moving into the White House, I would propose initiatives to Congress to bring dental hygiene to an all-time high. Then, after a fourth straight year as Time magazine’s “man of the year,” I would retire at the age of forty-five with the satisfaction of ridding the United States of the necessity of dentistry.

Throughout my life, I have visited the dentist office countless times, only to leave the building with the same phrases resounding in my head: “brush your teeth for at least two minutes each morning and night” or “you have to come back in two weeks because of your cavities” or “do you even know what floss is?” If I become a dentist in the future, my only career goal would be to make sure my career no longer exists.


tell me what you think..any suggestions?
a bum asks a man for two dollars. the man says, "if i give you the money, will you buy booze?"

the bum says no.

the man asks, "will you gamble?"

the bum says no.

"then will you come home with me? the man asks. "i want my wife to see what hapens to a man who doesn't drink or gamble."

man..how weird..no AIM, no fantasy basketball, and no..*GASP* no ebay!!

kindness

open up the skies of mercy
rain down the cleansing flood
healing waters rise around us
hear our cries, Lord, let 'em rise

it's Your kindness Lord
that leads us to repentance
Your favor, Lord, is our desire
it's Your beauty Lord
that makes us stand in silence
and Your love, Your love is better than life

we can feel Your mercy falling
You are turning our hearts back again
hear our praises rise to heaven
draw us near Lord, meet us here



let Your will be done, Lord. with all this turmoil in today's world, people need You now more than ever. give everyone comfort in knowing that this is all part of Your plan..

uh-oh. time's up.
WOW. what a perfect day!! =)
finally gotta spend an ENTIRE day together..at katy mills!

hehe anyways..gonna go work on some scholarship essays..
but its still a perfect day ;)
ah..sorry, missed a day of posting. yikes. whats wrong with me??
spring break..a week off from school, and i post even less than i do when there IS school..

anyhoo...

YUCK. i was just about to pump some iron, so i reached for my work-out gloves on the ground..
when alla sudden, a roach crawled out!! SICK!!

is there ANYTHING more disgusting?!?
jeez..i hate roaches..why did God decide to make roaches??
theres NOTHING good about them..
theyre ugly, gross, repulsive, nasty, dirty, etc etc..
the list just goes on and on and on..

i also HATE killing roaches..especially when you have to crush the darn things and you hear the CRUNCH under your shoe..
i emptied out about a 1/4 of a bottle of raid on the stupid thing, so now my room smells like that crap..
oh, but an improvement! instead of the nasty smelling sensation of raid, its the new and improved nasty smelling sensation of raid with a bit of "fresh floral scent"..
yeah, thats right. FRESH FLORAL SCENT. now is that the most retarded thing ever invented, or what?
so, yes, my room smells like raid mixed in with some garden smells. jeez.

ah well, i better go get some sleep. katy mills tomorrow, baby!

hm..iono where this thought came from..but..yeah..
when i got home, my jason and my dad were watching the movie bourne identity..
you know, the movie starring matt damon??
yes? no? maybe?
well, it doesnt really matter, cuz thats not what im bout to talk about..
SOMEHOW, remembering that movie reminded me of saving private ryan..
everyone knows THAT movie, right?
for those of you who do, remember that puny stupid guy who sat on the stairs while an enemy soldier was inside killing his fellow american? anyone remember that?!
didnt that guy piss you off SO MUCH?!? didnt you just wanna jump into the tv and shoot him?!
well, i did. i hated him for just ditching his friend like that when he KNEW he was being killed by the enemy..
but then, i just thought to myself, in a very similar way, arent all we people who call ourselves christians doing the same thing whenever we throw away opportunities to evangelize to non-believers?
i mean, seriously now, if we dont tell our own friends, who will?
we're JUST LIKE THAT STUPID PUNY GUY who was TOO SCARED to go inside the room and SAVE HIS FRIEND.
and unfortunately, this is no movie. it's real.
