From a Rogue Mind: and i'd like to sleep now please

listening to: nick, justin and i jamming

"In today's world, God cannot win. Whether He acts or refuses to act, the world is never void of protestors accusing God of injustice. The truth is we have made God in our own image. Rather than asking, "What is God like?" We continue to tell Him what He should be without understanding the myriad of contradictions. We want justice without punishment, prevention without intervention, and relationship without sacrifice. These are logical impossibilities, which a logical God refuses to violate."

read that in the book Dinner with Skeptics, by Jeff Vines. Sweet book, btw. really sweet. like, "i'm borrowing it from some one but i'm going to go buy it myself" sweet.

today i could not win. at all. went to class at 9. didn't get enough sleep the night before. struggled to stay awake. got out of class a little early and stopped by home to eat a quick lunch. i had to work at 12:30. got to work, they asked "where were you?" i said, "i'm right here! i start at 12:30." and they said "it's almost 1 now." i said "impossible" but it was true. somehow while i was home eating, i think i mixed up "arrive at work at 12:30" and "leave for work at 12:30." so that's the second time i was late this week. i can't be late again this whole month or else i'll get slightly into trouble. which i don't want. i really want to get the job over in majors. really really.
so i got ridiculed (deservingly) for my error. i didn't take it very well though because i just felt stupid about coming in late like that. there's nothing better when you're not having a good time at work than griping to a coworker about how you're not enjoying work. they almost always have their own imput as to why working sucks today. i really do like my job, i was just under unfortunate circumstances.

so i trudged through the long day, all the while wanted to take a nap. the only thing that saved the workday from being awful was twin 6 year olds. a boy and a girl. their eyes looked identical, it was cool. but the boy grabbed his sister's hair and pulled it out to the sides and said "look, you've got horns!" and then the girl did the same to her brother at the same time and said "look, you have horns too!" and then they laughed uncontrollably for 3 minutes straight. and i laughed right along with them. i couldn't help it, it was just pure, ridiculous, innocent joy and it was contagious. i couldn't stop laughing as long as they were still giigling it was a really great moment. the girl kept pulling her brother's head toward her and kissing his face, all while laughing. so so good.

my day turned up from there. bought a printer/scanner for $50 and got some groceries. came home and emo and nick had made pancakes, tater tots, and sausage for dinner and they said i could have what was leftover. watched shawshank redemption (but i missed the beginning because i always miss the beginning of movies in this house). i started uploading a bunch of videos i never took off my camera. AJ messaged me saying he is getting an amp head for me from a friend of his who doesn't use it. (!) it might not be in working condition but we'll find out and proceed accordingly.

and now i'm going to go to bed. i've been waiting for this moment since i woke up.
i'll leave you with some of the videos i uploaded though. good times.
