I don't have internet at the moment

So,
I am not in my new aprtment yet, but I will be there TONIGHT!! I promise.
But I do not have internet at the moment...I am at work so gotta keep it short.

I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Sunday after Church and it was amazing. I saw Picasso, shich is also the name of my building, and Monet paintings.

I took pictures and will post them when I can!

Love you all..I loved talking to Everyone yesterday:
Margaret, Rick, Kevin and Ken...Terry was too good to talk to me though..I miss you!

Please sir......can I have some more?......Mooooooooore

My right gastroc is like a rock

So, here is the goings on of the weekend.

I took the metro north train up to Westchester county New york to meet Jess.

The train ride was interesting...when the train came out from below I could see Harlem and then the Bronx. It still amazes me just how big Manhattan is. It only took about 35 min to get from 42nd street to the Tuckaho station, which is above the bronx in the burbs.

Jess met me at the train station and we went to the mall to walk around. For supper we ate at a mexican resturant and then went back to her place to watch a movie her CI has rented......"Brokeback Mountian." I need to make a discliamer: B/c of my faith, I do not agree with certain things, like adultery and murder, but I do not hate the people who commit these "sins" for each sin is the same in God's eyes. I hope you get my drift, so saying that and aside from all the hoodoo about the movie for it being a "gay cowboy movie" the movie STANK. Having seen the movie now, I can honestly say, "I did not like it." It could have been just your regula r sex before marriage/cheat on your spouse" type of movie and I would still have the same opinion.The time I spent watching it could be explained more akin to watching the scenery scenes in "Napoleon Dynamite." I would have had more fun watching paint dry.

Anyhoo,

On Sat I went with Jess to the training room at the local high school to practice taping ankles and Jess taped a couple of athletes.

Oh, on the way out of the house that morning, I locked the door in the garage behind us...well I was not suppose to, so when we got back we were locked out. I called a locksmith who claimed that they would be there in 20 mins....which came and went, so I decided to see if I could use name tag to break in....I succeded!!!!

Jess's parents came in and then we all drove into Manhattan to meet Jess's brother in law. We ate at a cute place that I can't remember the name of and then went to walk around the nearby Fort Tyron. It overlooked the Hudson River and you could see New Jersey and the Bronx and up state New York from the look out.

We left the fort and went to an Irish Pub and watched part of the Mets vs Yankees game and then headed downtown to eat Dinner.

We at a little Thai food place...i cannot remember the name of it...but they had amazing peanut dumplings. The best I've ever had...actually the only I have ever had..

After dinner we walked to Times Square where I left the group at the Westin Hotel ( a birthday present). It was great I watched TV (with sound) until I feel asleep.

Sunday afternoon I walked around the neighborhood of where I will be moving THIS Saturday!! And Eleana and I went to watch the movie The DeVinci Code. If you can go into the movie knowing that it is JUST a novel and not intended to be thought of as FACT, then you will enjoy this movie. It makes you think and use your brain.

Stayed tuned for New York 2006

My ponderings and random thoughts

Currently I have alot of time on my hands at night to...sit and think...and ponder about...well alot of things:
Life in general
Where I'm going to live after graduation
Where I would like to live after graduation
What type of PT setting I would like to work in
Where I can get some good ole sweet tea
When I going to quit trying to plan it all myself

I also am listening to my ipod ALOT... while walking to the subway, on the subway, walking from the subway to work and then back home, while I am standing in line for coffee, standing in line for a hot dog ($1 hotdogs..ummm), standing in line for a big pretzel, while trying to go to sleep.

I like all kinds of music..from country to rap, and even a little ragae (just kidding)...but I have found that I can only listen to the "christian" genre whenever I feel unsettled (as my current situation) (I can listen to it others times as well, I meant that I find that other genres, like country, make me feel worse or they just don't do it for me) anyway, Here is another of my "Subway songs"

(Mercy Me: Bring the rain)
"I can count a million times the people asking me how I can praise you with all that I've gone through,
The question just amazes me, can circumstances possibly
change the person I am in you

Maybe since my life was changed, long before these rainy days
its never really crossed my mind,
To turn my back on you o Lord, my only shelter from the storm, but instead I draw closer through these times,

So I pray
Bring me Joy.. bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings you glory
And I know there'll be days when this life brings me pain,
But if thats what it takes to praise you,
Jesus bring the rain

I am yours reguardless of the clouds that may loom above,
b/c your much greater than the pain,
You who made a way for me..suffering in your dyestiny
So tell me..whats a little rain

With all my pondering I am sure of one thing, and that is....

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed...what God has planned
I only know at his right hand...stands one who is my savior
That he would leave his place on high and come to sin
My savior loves
My savior lives
My saviors always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he's always gonna be
(Aaron Shust: My Savior My God)

With all the decisions looming ahead I know:

I need eyes to be my guide
I need a voice thats louder than mine
I need hope and I need you
Cause I can't do this alone

Grace I call your name
Oh won't you smile fall over me
I cry down on hands and knees
Oh sweet grace...rain down on me...I need your grace
(Phil Wickham: Grace)

Isn't it wonderful how a song can speak to your heart and touch you soul. How the words can wake you up or listen in a different way.

David knew it...

My song purging is done..until I need to share another with you.
