1st grade journal, revisited

in an effort to express the current state of affairs in my life, which i would say are at more of a low tide, footprints disappear in the sand stage, this sophomore address will be in a simple form.

i like california and if you're not here, i'll straight up mourn for ya. i like chicken nuggets and i like what happened to the denver thuggets. i like to eat ice cream with a blueberry and i don't think that having some sprinkles makes me a fairy. i like the banana boat and i'll take milk and cookies any day over a root beer float. i like to smile with d1, after long days of talking with ladies in the sun (that's my boy gettin it done!) i like to listen to michael scott, or maybe dan allan, they both drop it like it's hot. i like sunny days and cool water on my feet and talking with newman, that boy don't miss a beat. i like to think about my baby niece/nephew even if your months old is less than two. i like to think about my dog titus and my main man rudy lee and know that you both miss me. i like to put my hands together and pray walking out by the bay after a typical project day. i like that i share a bed with kfed, he's just my bro and i know that we'll be tight wherever we go. i like to run and play and just know that i can't be stressed, i'm blessed and i'm followin He who's best. i like to play with my friends even if we don't ride in a benz, we enjoy just living a life where Christ paid for our sins.
good night friends, much love

magical classification

so i've been thinking about who i am a lot lately and it's led to soul searching and the sort. this manifested itself last night in a deep conversation with my good friend jon newman, who also designed my blog page (thank you for that again, you're the best!), and we discussed what houses we would belong to at hogwarts. jon is a very shrewd character and as expected he was put in ravenclaw. surprisingly, the briggs-meyer test resulted in my placement into ravenclaw. i decided that i would most like to be in no, not the stereotypical gryffindor, but rather hufflepuff. but please hear me out, i have my reasons that are revealing about my character. i am primarily drawn to the house of badger because of the good hearted nature of it's inhabitants and more importantly, the imminent opportunity to lead with the recent departure of cedric diggory. this is telling of my character in that i'm not drawn to people because of their intellectual capabilities but rather the goodness of their hearts. i also enjoy the God given desire to lead others successfully and i feel like those characters are generally moreso drawn to the likes of being a gryffindor lion. nevertheless, i would really enjoy the personalities of those that roam the earthy den that is the hufflepuff common room as oppose to the pompous slytherins, cerebral ravenclaws or even the valiant gryffindors. it's really just biblical to be around those who are good in heart, i mean look at this.

Psalms 37:1
1Surely God is good to Israel, to those who are pure in heart.

i rest my case.
