Coming Attractions

So last night a few friend of mine got together at the Murphy's house to have some worship and hanging out time. It was a beautiful evening and after singing for a bit (and failing miserably at singing 'In the Secret' in the right key. Seriously, we had to give up), we started a little fire. Eventually the conversation turned to pessimism (how I have no idea) and I was arguing the point that pessimistic people are happiest. No one agreed and it was suggested that write in my blog about it. So, coming soon, I will be turning my thoughts to this subject and giving a compelling case for it. I'm sure you all are eagerly waiting now. In other news, Purdue apparently did a study of the most carbon emitting cities. Guess what was number 15 on that list. Indiana, PA. Yeah, I don't get it either. This town is almost completely devoid of anything that we usually associate with carbon emissions. Go figure.

So this week has been pretty uneventful. Just going to class, doing homework, playing my guitar, etc. Oh, last night during frisbee, my faithful frisbee disc was split in half. It was blocked throw so violent that the disc cracked right in half. Many tears were shed. It had a full life, so I'm thankful for that. I went to Walmart to get a new one and oddly enough they didn't carry them. The one in Exton does, so I was kinda confused. I don't know where else to get one, cause there's nothing else here. Online perhaps. Not much else to mention. Oh, my nice six month old Macbook just developed a crack. Apparently it's a pretty common thing, so I just gotta head to a Apple Store to get it repaired. Problem is, there isn't one for 50 miles. 50 miles of winding slow road.

Alright, Alright

Due to the incessant whining of my friend Ryan, I am writing my first new post in a long while. I haven't updated because no one reads this, and my life is boring. But Ryan feels that this is no excuse. So, I am writing in it again. If you'll note there is a new logo. Credit for that goes to Ryan. It defaults to the way it is right now, but I kinda like it. So about my life. Nothing new really. School, sleep, eating, frisbee, church. All in all, not much to say about it. There was a recent Resolved (College ministry) Retreat at the church this weekend. There was some worship and we listened to a message. Then came a violent game (many actually) of dodge ball. Lots of fun, especially when David would go scampering across the middle in his ridiculous way. After dodge ball, the party moved into some crazy dancing to 80s music. That in turn changed to swing dancing. By the end of the night I had blisters on my feet from soo much activity. All the girl left to stay a family's house and the guys slept in a classroom upstairs. No one really slept that night. I tossed and turned all night. I only had a sleeping bag, and invariably, when I sleep in one, I end up directly on the floor with the bag on top. One of my friends was working on a computer project all night. The night was punctuated by typing and occasionally a quietly uttered "Crap!" Now, I don't know about you, but I find repetitive ambient noise relaxing and comforting. I guess I'm weird, because no one else in the room like it. There was a ceiling fan and after about an hour it got turned off. A couple of hours later my friend David jumped up and burst out "I can't take it anymore!", yanked the ticking clock off the wall and deposited it in another room. Oookay. I don't think I slept at all, but reports from the guys say that I was snoring for a bit so I must have dozed off for a few minutes. A couple of girls were coming by around 8 am to get breakfast ready, so I got up to help them (and make a sweet morning playlist) knowing I wouldn't sleep anyway. By 9:30 the rest of the girls had arrived and the guys had stumbled down. We ate together, regaling each other with stories from the night. After breakfast we had a discussion and some worship and then left. And some of us went to McDonald's for lunch. And that was the weekend for me.
