Starting Fresh

I guess that now the past is over and I'm lucky in that most of the stuff that happened was pretty much going through my head, I can turn the page and get to where I desire to be. First and foremost, I would like to make God first in my life. Secondly, everything else will just follow.

It's a constant struggle to be good, but I'm doing the best I can. I guess from being healthy and getting my hair back which was thinning out, I can just keep my options open. It's largely a cool thing that I have a guy friends. I have a few female friends that I try to keep in touch with. It's pretty tough just to be in the friend zone with them for me, so I might as well just settle with chasing after the girl I want to be with. If that girl doesn't like me, then I might as well look for another girl and so on. If this girl just wants to be friends, then great, I'll try to do everything with her. If I'm attracted to this girl and I'm doing something with her, then hey, it's a win-win situation because she would still like me as a friend. Other than that, I'm just going to try not to annoy her so much with nonsense nor even creep her out. I'm just going to try to play it cool and see where it goes from there. If this girl ends up being the one to marry, then alright, praise the Lord!

Pretty Simple Goals

There's really not that much for a routine in myself. I guess from having God and some good experiences in my relationships with others, I'm feeling a lot more well-grounded these days.

Other than just trying to get in really good shape, become a great rock climber, play some great music while singing with a piano and guitar, and become an independent and self-made millionaire, there's really not much going for me. Oh yeah, I also don't want to forget to mention that I completely adore Jesus for everything that he's done for me.

I'm going to just try to continue to read the Bible and stay pure to God's ways as it was intended from reading the Word and just be grateful for all of these wonderful developments and slight changes that are gradually happening for me.

Pretty Fortunate

I think of the Lord's goodness, my upbringing isn't really something where I take a lot of pleasure from taking advantage of others or doing something extremely amoral. I really enjoy being a moral person, and I sort of have my dad to thank for that.

The way I see it now is that it's really a lot about hard work and just continuing to move forward and maybe, someday, your day will come. Things don't always seem so fair and now after all that I've been through, I really think continuing to play video games and watching television for entertainment is just depressing.

It's probably better to hang out with somebody, work out, or even do a fun hobby like singing and playing the piano. I'm not going to make it such a big deal anymore with this whole being lonely or depressed thing. The mind is a terrible thing to waste and trying to be an upbeat person is really hard work in general for me!

Becoming More Mature

I realize that all of my past problems with people have mainly just been me not being able to control my anger and then letting things escalate. It's pretty much just that simple with the relationships I had in the past.

Because of the escalation, it pretty much caused a rift with those people. I am now aware of it and honestly, I wouldn't want a happy marriage to end up crashing because of this flaw of mine. I'm just going to do the best I can to not let it get to me now. This is pretty much all I can be now and in the future, I'm just not going to act that way anymore and just be pretty mellow about those situations.

Daily Bible Journal

Proverbs 16:3 says "Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established." (NKJV) 

1 Cor 10:31 says, "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." (KJV)

1 Col 3:17 says, "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed; do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him." (KJV)

To me, Prov. 16:3 is mentioning that God will guide us if we dedicate to living all for Him. 

Phil. 4:8 says, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (KJV)

God is basically love as mentioned in 1 John 4:8. It's basically enjoyable and pleasant to have a sound mind and peaceful attitude that goes on in the heart. Being away from all the turmoil with the daily stresses and to be at ease. These kind of stuff just happen to believers when they are truly obedient to serving the Lord. It's a joy and blessing to serve God, I mean. To have this loving mind and willpower like Jesus, it's something that the Holy Spirit likes to provide!

Prov 16:6 says, "In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity; and by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil." (NKJV)

Psalm 145:8 says, "The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy."(KJV) The NIV mentions in this verse that God is rich in love. 

Prov 16:6 means to me that coming to know God and then establishing fellowship with Him through how we live, our minds and hearts just gradually transform and get away from sinning constantly. It's from having that love of God in you that you are able to carry yourself and move forward with your spiritual calling.

Prov 16:24 says, "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones." (NKJV)

For Prov 16:24, this verse is a little personal for me in that I have some experience in writing really nasty messages to people. It really bugs them a lot, and I can't say that I haven't been the recipient of them either. I think just trying to sound nice isn't really going to cut it with angry people. It also requires wisdom with handling the conflict, and from trying to get those people to calm down while knowing nothing and acting nice, it was really frustrating for me! This area is a work in progress for me and sometimes it's going to be inevitable with being crossed by others and also me crossing them.

Gal 6:7 says, "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (KJV)

Basically, I reaped what I sowed from being mad and breathing irritating fire that turned some people crazy with me. It was so bad that it isn't even repairable. I would like to be more prudent and under more self-control next time around. What's helping me to establish better social skills is having a friendly and ongoing relationship with a woman I am attracted to. I guess settling down is about meeting someone you are attracted to and then seeing if you can get along with that person. 

Prov 16:25 says, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." (NKJV)

To me, Prov. 16:25 is saying from experience that by trying to do things on my own, I've experienced so much heartache with failure to go along with it. I have some things that I regret doing, like inadvertently making an art history teacher think that I'm a racist during my presentation. This memory still gets me like a bad flashback to this day. You definitely reap what you sow and I wish I could change some things, but it can't be helped. What's shaped me though is that I want to move forward in the right direction with the Lord's guidance.

How I'm Studying the Bible

I'm just following a daily Bible reading plan on my iPhone. When I don't understand a verse, I have started to just look up some traditional commentaries just to get a better feel for the verse. I can't say it's completely accurate, but it really does set the mood for wanting to be spiritual though. I have found biblehub.com which has commentaries to read from if you select a verse. With differing views, it's been a great introduction to examine a few perspectives from Biblical scholars when I really had no idea what it meant.

I have been skipping out on praying to God before reading the Bible. It feels like a ritual to me, if I were to do that. I think of reading the Word as something that is just a daily and normal part of me. I don't really think much about it. I don't have any disdain for the Word, neither do I feel intimidated about reading something that could pertain to me in a bad way.

I guess now that I mentioned it, the Bible does mention to pray without ceasing. Okay, I coaxed my heart into saying just a quick one haha! In the Christian way, every prayer ends with in the name of Jesus and Amen because that's where believers are hoping it gets to.

Daily Bible Journal

Proverbs 13:4, says "The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich." (NKJV)

I found this verse to be very encouraging and truthful in that in order to make progress and be able to feast on good times during the harvest, the work needs to be done in planting the seeds and watering the fields in the hot summer days. I'm talking in a literary sense again.

Work isn't always going to be easy and motivating to get into, but it sure does help to get into a calling and feel relaxed about it on most days.

Proverbs 15:1 says, "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."(NKJV)

On what authority do I have to write about the Bible? I don't have any credentials or some seminary experience. I'm just a layman with a personal faith in Jesus.

Anyway with Proverbs 15:1, I see how it relates to the things I said to people when they were trying to cross me. They became mad and paranoid with me! I'm not talking about the details in full anymore, out of trying to be respectful for them.

Proverbs 15:8 says, "A wrathful man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger allays contention." (NKJV)

Going to Proverbs 15:8, I am a knowledgeable person about the things I communicate with people. When people cross me, I want to blow up and it's a normal reaction that has turned into a personally recognizable pattern. Out of respect for being a servant of God and building His kingdom, I feel like I have a sense of duty to hold back my words, when things get too out of hand.

Basically, I just need to keep doing what I have been doing and just discerning the situation and being wise about the experience I have been gaining all this time.

Proverbs 15:28 says, "The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil." (NKJV)

This reminds me of a funny situation I recall not too long ago. A friend who was supervising me asked me what was up about this co-worker I had a problem with. I told him honestly I didn't feel good about him. My friend who wanted us to get along said "Wrong answer" and ended up disciplining me on his shift as a joke. From Proverbs 15:28, it looks like it's education in presenting ourselves properly with a problematic individual and a lot of hard work to resolve irritating issues that keep prolonging itself while being amicable and peaceful about it.

Proverbs 15:33 says "The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, and before honor is humility." (NKJV)

Studying the Word of God is where I can get my knowledge of how to live righteously and be in good standing with others while living prosperously and enjoying a good life with friends and family and possibly good Christian wife with kids in the future.

Living In Better Pursuit

I guess I have so many things that I would like to accomplish in one day and just letting time fly by and succumbing to dust covering up my schedule in a literary sense, it isn't promoting a personal happy tale. I just need to be a personal go-getter and try it out. As a matter of fact, from working out in a consistent pattern, I'm just used to giving myself a hard time and not really intimidated with expecting that I'm going to have a huge workload for awhile.

I did mention in one of my posts earlier that I have about 24 things that I want to accomplish in one day. It's a nice number, and I just realized the number is just a coincidence with representing the number of hours in a day. When I get home at around 11 pm, I'm going to try to finish up one of my goals. I'm not feeling really deterred by how hard it is for me to accomplish something or how much hardships I had to go through.

Basically, in a nutshell, I'm going to turn off the lights with television and testing my Magic: the Gathering decks. The things they are getting replaced with is exercise and trying to make a little investment money on the side.


Becoming More Normal

I'm starting to think more normal and feeling happier these days. I still get a little jittery about having to wait on things, but it's only been increasing my patience and helping me to be at better self-control with myself. I'm not really paying attention like a hawk anymore on things because I'm just trying to go with the flow on auto-pilot. I see that is what I have been trying to do all along.

I am doing my job that pays me, while imagining about the happy things that goes along in my life. However, it feels crazy to continue doing this for me. It just doesn't make sense to want to focus out of the job and find something to entertain yourself with. That's just keeping things unfair in a way while considering moral factors.

Yet, it's normal for people to daydream while just standing there in the middle of a convenience store and waiting for people to appear in the line. I think it really comes down to willpower with learning how to compartmentalize thoughts and to channel the right amount of focus to get the job done in a satisfactory way.


Cleaner Focus

Okay, so one of my goals is to bring out two more magic decks that I have already designed. I still haven't got around to doing that yet. It looks like just now, I'm not really in the mood for typing anything on this blog. I feel really satisfied from having blogged for at least ten years now.

Wow that's a really long time considering how I managed a little bit of consistency by trying to make 365 posts a year to represent each day, including the leap year! That really is something and it shouldn't even be too much of a shocker that I am one of the most, active bloggers on blogger.com. I just don't really get that much comments from these, and I have still been trying to push it along talking about loving Jesus and following the Bible wholeheartedly. I'm still trying man! 

Making Minor Changes

I guess I can limit the amount of TV I watch and the time I put into for testing my Magic: the Gathering decks and use those times for accomplishing one of my daily goals that I have in mind of trying out.

This would probably give me about two hours in the day which could be useful. It's entertaining to laugh at Tom and Jerry cartoons, but it would be a little better to work just a tad harder for a better tomorrow!


Working Out

Well the good thing is that I have been regularly keeping up with working out and going to the gym and trying to keep my body in shape. It's actually quite fun and enjoyable for me. It's about eating right 80% of the time and working out 20% of the time. I can actually dig that and continue to pursue managing a healthy body and eventually getting some six pack abs.

My dad told me that by getting some ripped abs, I will be losing a crowd of women who don't want to marry me. It's because those women will be terrified of me, like they wouldn't want to be in an argument with me. I can actually live with that.

Nice Moments

Some days I feel on the low from not achieving a certain goal I had in mind, but on other days I'm feeling great about myself like right now. Yeah, most of the time, I do feel nice and energetic. I guess my worst enemy is really just myself. It's like I need to let my height not get to me. I'm starting to smile a lot more though and not be really shy about being around taller people. I guess it's easier for me to be more outgoing.

People can be like oh, that short guy when they talk about me, which makes me feel like laughing now that I think about it. I'm not exempt from people seeing me as a psychopath though if I did something because I sort of have a stocky build according to some weaklings who are out there. It's funny in a sense that people would be afraid of me and lose their patience with me and try to just kick me out of their life while pursuing after any negative judgement they could pursue with me. It's unethical of course because they are just irritated like crazy while they are doing it and now I see that it's wrong.

Been Staying Busy

I guess there are a lot of stuff I could do to just keep myself busy. I do feel a little cheesy about watching like one or two hours of television, which feels like a lot to me now so I guess I really don't. I am going out to the gym a lot more consistently though. I am really enjoying the extra energy I'm getting from working out and getting some vital nutrients in my system. I mean my body feels great! I can even go off of less sleep more efficiently now if I had to.

One thing that really gets me to drop everything is watching anime sometimes. I guess I'm such a nerdy fan, but then again I'm just psyched out and have my eyes glued on the tube from looking at all the beautiful artwork and animation and just getting immersed into the world. I've read on Google Images that the best female anime characters don't exist in real life for guys!

Magic the Gathering Days

My closest buddy from high school has been all over Magic: the Gathering ever since I introduced it to him. He ended up going so crazy that he worships some YouTube videos that talk about some strategies. He really likes the style of the game because there's so much variance and pretty much a you-name-it approach which makes the game so fun to want to master against everybody.

He gets really competitive and doesn't let me take back my mistakes because he knows that if he lets me, I will end up winning. It sort of sucks to be laughed at like that especially in a casual setting, but okay, imagine it was like the whole world tournament and I did something something like that, then yeah, I can see that I don't deserve winning. I guess my buddy sees me as this high caliber player type who has brought his game to the next level.

It was annoying sometimes and I just didn't feel like playing against him because of his mannerisms but okay, I'm just starting to not care so much about it anymore. He was saying that I have a big ego to my game, and I guess he doesn't mind that still to this day because he enjoys beating me no matter what happens!

Choosing To Mature

I just read on the Bible in the book of Proverbs that a person isn't supposed to try to correct someone who doesn't mind where he or she is at. Basically, if a person just puts up a front and looks like he isn't going to accept it and just keep on arguing with you, it's pretty much time to just bail.

I see it now that with me having yelled at the top of my lungs with certain people, it was just respect that I was commanding from them. The passion and fire even though I'm yelling is contagious and in a way out of all that yelling and rage to direct it at a positive goal is truly an enviable quality to want to have.

I am ready to get really worked up and let my fire out when someone tells me that I'm crazy. It has to be done at right timing though. I'm not afraid to let all of that passion and rage to motivate another to do something positive in this world to come out now. Probably with just a random stranger though, I might just start laughing and let it go with a shrug.

Definitely though, the principle that I let go of for so long is to not try to teach someone if they don't want it. It's only going to make things more worse.

Short and Tall Couples

It's like nowadays, it really doesn't matter if the man is taller than the lady. I guess there are ladies who exist that don't care about their man being shorter than them. A really short female friend I know said, "Who wants a guy who is shorter than the girl just to be honest!" Okay, whatever. If I'm attracted to a woman, whether she's taller than me or not, then I will try to engage in a conversation.

It's pretty hard to approach a girl because most of the time, I don't even find her that attractive! It's so weird. I guess I've been around the world so long enough to find that just trying to focus on looks gets really old. I do it anyway because I figure if she looks attractive to me then at least I won't have to look at other women if I end up marrying her. I'll see if I can just get along with attractive women and it's actually quite fun to do so.

It's actually a lot harder than I thought to be nice to mean ladies or just maybe, it's me not liking something about them, so they end up dodging me in some way because I get all argumentative and scare them. They are just being funny and those girls are just being a bunch of sissies. What do you expect, they are girls going through emotional moments. Imagine having this girl I scared for not a very good reason trying to lead the whole country. Oh man, I would lose a whole bunch of complete faith in humanity if that ever happened!

Filtering Bad Stuff Out of Head

I used to have this personal agenda of how I had to vocalize all my thoughts in the most honest and pure fashion with everybody. In a short amount of time, I would find out that people just wanted me to leave them alone and shut up!

This is where it now gets to me in that it might be true for everybody, in that we are all tempted by evil thoughts that go on in our hearts and minds. The famous psychologist and probably well-hated Sigmund Freud talked about how the unconscious mind is driven by wild urges to satisfy our intimate desires and aggressive behaviors.

It's in this manner where I have learned to just not vocalize that side of me while I'm stressed out or feeling like my head is about to go insane. I just let it detract from my conscious while I'm heavily engaged with some difficult work that is just pestering me! It's about being well-focused and concentrated on the good things of life.

Instead of being so blunt and plain-forward, I see that it's actually quite good-manners and still being honest by being upbeat in your replies and thoughtful. It might even help soften the hearts of a few troubled minds every once in awhile. As a person who has engaged in some literal writing, I've seen a metamorphose probably from letting myself get carried away from reading up on anything interesting to me.

Daily Tasks I Ignore

I currently have on my phone a list of twenty-four things to do, and I don't do the majority of them. That's a big surprise isn't it?

I'm going to just point out the things that I don't do, which is on that list on a daily basis. I don't do programming, climbing gym, growth stretches, bowling, golf, cooking, design document, financial aid, health, vehicle recall, dentist appointment, check nose, sing songs, and dance on a daily basis.

I really need to fix my financial aid situation and I just keep pushing it off to the side. I need to really get that taken cared of. I also need to set my health appointments which I haven't done in like years even though I have medical insurance. I guess I must just not really care or something because I must feel I'm in great shape.

Keeping It Pure

I guess I'm going off in a direction now where I'm finally coming to terms with situations that really bothered me a lot! I don't really need to vocalize them, and I don't plan to talk about them anymore with anybody out of just respect for the people I frustrated from being annoying to them. I just can't help it, but laugh at some of these statements I just wrote.

I'm just closing my eyes and trying to hide myself underneath my own hands, while laughing in a sign of trying to show personal modesty. I'm feeling a lot more gentle and calm, but I still need to continue to be creative. I guess it's fun to just have follow-up with someone everyday whether via text or phone call and just be relaxed and yourself. It's basically cool to get along with somebody and feel sort of in-sync with life and having relationships with others.

It's also a lot of work to stay close, even when the kinks aren't so good. This is a really funny comment indeed.

Left An Entertaining Controversial Reply

This is just discussion over a health product called Herbalife for me. I don't even know if it's controversial. I guess it is, if people are taking sides and since it looks like I'm on one side, it would be then!

Check out this website that talks bad about Herbalife because of its ingredients. http://www.ancestral-nutrition.com/an-unbiased-review-of-herbalife/

Maybe the author is done with responding to Herbalife sheep and my comment might have been too overwhelming. It's more like a long essay that could sway the audience because I'm just good enough like that. Okay, maybe she might not let it go through. We will have to see! I'm supposed to be the last one on there, but in case it never goes and she just wants people that support and cheer her up, here it is:

Dani, it's nice to be informed of ingredients that don't look safe. Despite me using it, I understand your health assessment of the product so I'm not bothering to promote it to anyone. There are people who say good things about Herbalife and those who don't. It isn't a perfect world, so I want to entertain your questions you have reiterated. 

How are GMOs healthy?
How are transfats healthy?
How is MSG healthy?
How are processed ingredients healthy?
How are artificial sweeteners healthy?
How are rancid vegetable oils healthy?

I heard a long time ago that MSG is bad in that even though it can help make food taste better, some people are allergic to it and can die from a result. Either Herbalife is really good at covering up incidents causing those deaths or the ingredients associated with it on that product might not chemically react to form that substance.

You did state in the article carageenan comes from a seaweed, so it is technically derived from something in its natural state. If some type of study has shown sucralose is pretty safe to consume, the same goes for the other substances that raise your alarms. 

This loosely reminds me of my Master's level class with writing scientific, research papers. I scored a 100% on it, so I've learned quite a bit on some jargon researchers use. From doing literature research (conducting a survey of all the research out there), I am going to assume there are proponents for whatever reasons or conflicts of interests they have and also opposition with the findings. 

This is a pretty fun example I had the privilege of discussing about in my class. For the website, Luminosity, the organization claims that people grow smarter from playing their games. I looked at some studies that stated otherwise and some that did.  Overall, from a consumer point of view, it's inconclusive for me, so I've chosen not to spend money to partake of playing addictive games that could or could not help me. 

It's pretty much what floats your boat in my perspective with Herbalife. It has a Kosher certification tag on it, and it's not offending some big synagogues so at least it has some recognition. Of course, they hate bacon on a side note, which you wouldn't be too thrilled about!

From a quantitative side of research ( the actual numbers and results), the research is still yet to be determined and has to converge with some bridge. Like, we know now that no matter how much the tobacco industry funds pro-tobacco research, they can't deny that inhaling carbon monoxide for long exposure like chain smokers do contribute to lung disease! It even has a surgeon general warning on it and for some political reason, the country can't let go of taxing it so stupidly!

From a qualitative side ( observing people), I have read accounts that people taking Herbalife for 20+ years have been "happy" off of it and even 70 year old women are actively enjoying sports from having taken it. I don't know about you, but I want to do that too when I'm a grumpy old man in 40 years.

Basically, you informed the consumer what's on there. People are giving mixed thoughts about it. It's the glass is either half-full or half-empty. You don't want to for your own convincing reasons, and I respect that.

I choose to take it because I've seen 8% body fat loss, 5 pounds of muscle increase, and my metabolism has went from a 50 year old to a 19 year old in three weeks time! I didn't lose weight, I gained a pound of muscle.

The products work for me, and I agree it's not for everybody. I don't just take Herbalife by the way. I also work out and try to eat right, which is the key. Herbalife contains some good stuff, despite the ingredients you mentioned. You have to exercise man and eat right to lose weight and get the ripped abs that I so want! 80% nutrition and 20% exercise. 100% mindset, that's what it takes to be a healthy and energetic person that we all so want to be. 

Finding Some Form of Balance

I don't want really want to brag and put it down on writing with something that could be special. The experience I have been going through lately has been very enriching and euphoric. I feel a better state of calmness and balance and am grateful for God to have allowed me to have taken part of that fate.

I'm starting to smile personally at some of the incidents that I involved myself with now. Out of choosing to be nice, I'm not going to make fun of people behind their backs at this moment. Essentially, I was spilling truths quite a bit in the form of offensive jokes in the beginning to rub off my anger because it was hard to control.

Since I'm smiling about those things that happened for me now, I don't really need to be mad now. I can just go up and be upbeat with the people I formerly antagonized. I can just take it slow and be accepting with how they have trouble coming to terms with something not that serious I did to them and just not really bring it up anymore.


Making Positivity Count

Situations can feel dire at times and especially for a guy like me, I actually come across as being really smart-looking and friendly. It's like if I was to ever express my frustration with some style and class, it would put a common person on the defensive with me.

Being peculiar is funny and letting a situation get so out-of-hand where the person just ended up breaking contact with you is also not that bad. Sure, I'm not weaker person and some can't handle being bothered, but it's just the mood they want to be in I guess.

I'm just going off something with generalizing one incident and trying to make that relate to everything. I don't want to be too specific because I made a promise to not really touch on those details out of my attempt to be a gentleman on a 24-7 basis.

Being Made Alive And Well

It's pretty crazy how just trying to learn the meaning of two Bible verses while googling for it led me to have a better reverence for the Lord. I guess that can seriously be food for the soul, especially with some verses that I continuously neglected to read because I just saw the same thing over and over again.

Maybe, the Bible is just like that intentionally because it's like one day, that when you do see something that you don't understand because it's just constantly something you are reading that you will go find the answer and that when you do, it's voila! It's more like French for "I got it!"

The Bible even though it feels dry and boring sometimes and empty and like nothing is coming out of it from just being human, it's really deep in its meaning and takes some humility to accept that God's nature really can win tormented souls, which can find rest in this desolate and conflicting world.

Also, I just love having this quick search engine that is connected to the Internet. It's providing me resources for finding information just so quick. I think because of the Internet being like the 8th Wonder of the World or something, people can allow themselves to live in a better place. The Internet isn't God or anything, but really more like a non-human servant which can powerfully assist with achieving reachable dreams. To sum it up in my opinion, the Internet is a searchable database of information, a source of personal entertainment, or for buying and selling things!

Tying Experience With People and Bible

My tumultuous relationships with people are petty and nothing really that significant. I guess I had a problem with wanting to resolve the problem peacefully, but the others who I ended up going up to just had a hard time with me trying to talk to them about it! It would end up with them getting a neurotic panic attack and then they would just go off with trying to bat me away.

Because of this, I wasn't really understanding what was going on, but what mattered to them is that I was just bothering them no matter how much I conveyed my nice agenda with them. Basically, I'm just getting that they haven't made the effort to personally resolve it, can't let go of what I did to bother them, and just don't want to be reminded about it because they have other things they want to worry about. Like I said, they are just neurotic people. I triggered one of their bad qualities from texting them while I was incredibly ticked off about something not so important.

It's funny and all. It's also not a bad thing to leave them alone and let them try to move on from it without any involvement. I guess now that I'm more informed from my own dating experiences and research, I should be successfully evading something like that with other important relationships. Resolving the conflict is something I could be a lot more creative about and have a lot of fun with, but only if they want to put me on the spot.

Leviticus 14:24- 25

It's been a long time since revisiting the Bible and I'm finding out how hard it really is to continue writing about it. Hats off to the believers who do dedicate themselves to willingly study the Scriptures and apply a closer walk with the Lord. I guess I personally like listening to the Word and reading up on some devotions, but attempting to do this just out of the blue is a lot more hindering than I thought.

So in verse 24, the priest takes a lamb for the trespass offering and a log of oil (less than half a pint) and then a wave offering was done. I read up one interpretation which states that they were pretty much offerings presented as though it were for the Lord, but then later became the sole possession of the priests.

Basically, doing some Google searches and trying to read up on some of these crazy passages that I don't understand really helped clear a little bit of confusion for me. Verse 25 states that the priest ends up killing the lamb of the trespass offering, takes some of the blood, puts it all on the right side the person's ear, thumb, and big toe who is to be cleansed.

Wow, I have been totally ignoring what this meaning is about putting the blood on ear, thumb, and toe. I've been reading up on how it symbolizes that God's words are heard, the hand symbolizes action, and the foot is the pilgrimage of life. The blood symbolizes life and death. This is crazy in that the right side is just another way for saying that it's the better and good side in the Bible, rather than being evil.

Putting it all together, this ceremonial practice just means that the ears, hand, and foot represent the whole body and it is about having a full dedication to the Lord's ways. In a way, it feels like re-committing to the Lord again and I guess if the heart was really for it after admitting one's sins, the Lord was just more than happy to forgive the sinner. The Lord doesn't really keep count, just like how Jesus told Peter to forgive someone seven times seventy, which is a figure-of-speech for infinity!

Personal Goals

I have yet to accomplish everything I have listed on my phone in a day. I really would like to knock those tasks off my list and see how good I feel about accomplishing everything I have set for just personal reasons.

I guess my main goal is as always being a millionaire with a six pack with a strong relationship for the Lord and a beautiful and fulfilling Christian wife. Once I have that agenda, then man, I'm on fire!

Oh yeah, I need to try that growing taller stretches too and see if it will make me bigger. I'm starting to see that it's not really making a difference to whether I'm taller or not because I'm starting to develop this inner confidence from just being me. Like I don't have a mental ruler in my head that looks like at short I am constantly whenever I am by myself. 

Occasionally, I still feel that sorrow of someone being taller than me. For another, it could be from being a bald man and wanting his hair back again. Something about our appearances that we want to change to improve. Like my mom says, it's all genetics and can't be helped. Thanks Mom!

If I have short kids who hate being small, then I'm going to help them do those growing taller exercises and put them on a nice diet of drinking milk! Hopefully, no kid of mine is lactose-intolerant. For a backup plan, I'm going to develop their self-confidence of who they are and train them how to be nice and sociable people others wouldn't mind being around. 

I guess it solves a lot of issues because it's mainly all in the attitude and I feel very self-confident. I think it's helping me a lot to have an outgoing friend or two who does not mind texting me back everyday. It's really building my patience and grit of letting go of personal worries with being rejected by others. As long as I don't message someone, when I'm feeling really mad and negative about the situation, I'm actually good.

Getting Back Into It

This post is more about the stuff that I need to lay off of instead of going back into. I should lay off a little more on playing video games and start thinking about how I will be a Christian woman's best friend because the woman I'm referring to will be someday my wife!

Now that's an original idea, wouldn't you say? In the space of nothingness, that's what I see but what I don't see is how everybody else is going to react. Is this still playing with fire? No, it isn't. It's because it can be controlled, as long as you are at peace while writing.

One of the biggest elements I have learned about writing is that it's important to not let a super crazy and negative drive take control of how you want to view things. I'm glad I picked up on that personal lesson just in time!

Knowing What Immature From Mature Is

I'm just showing off with this post. I'm an adult now and I can discern what's politically appropriate, just like anybody else can. It feels good in general, well, not really. It's all just a natural part of being just well - it's just like being an "I am" therefore I think-type of deal.

I really don't know where I'm going with this post. I thought I try out something random, but I'm trying to push a different direction because I feel obligated to catch up with my posts. I'm on a good start because last month I completed 31 posts, which averages out to just 1 post everyday on this blog. Yeah, now that's really something isn't it? Okay, it's not really spectacular or anything, but at least it makes me feel good right? Okay, I'm like half-asleep while I'm writing this so I can't even move my imaginary muscles of my head to make myself think that I'm laughing. Pretty weird isn't it?
