sleepy sam types totes

I don't really mean anything by saying "totes" in the title. I was just trying to think of something that started with t and that was all that came to mind at the moment.

Why am I typing? I should be asleep. I have to be working in less than 11 hours.

So, I've been thinking about all sorts of things and how to work them all out. I've got a lot of books that I need to read. Four that I can think of off the top of my head. And I have to learn Finnish. I started that yesterday. And it's not going to be easy. It's a language that is like nothing I've ever experienced. But I think that I'll be able to get a few people together to learn it so that we'll be able to help each other with it. that'll help it move along a bit better. I don't think that weather and culture will be big obstacles, but language could be. And I've got four months to get it down. I can do it.

How will I relate to those people? I really don't know how I'll do it. I guess I'll figure it out when I get there. Because I don't know what they'll be into. I don't know what strikes their fancy. And I won't know this stuff until I'm there and I SEE where they're at and what they're doing. At that point, I'll be able to figure it out though. So I don't need to stress about any of this stuff. My big thing that I use is movies and other shows that I've seen. I use scenes out of these to draw comparisons in order to relay my meaning when I'm talking. I don't know. it'll work itself out. I need to go to sleep. good night everybody.

I'm back at pipeline

when I first started at pipeline we started a semi-tradition of writing down funny things that we said while in the soundbooth. I called this weekly segment on my MySpace account "Soundbooth Sentences". Then I left for a while and it stopped. Now that I'm back, we'll continue with the funnies. Only this time I'll be posting to my blog so that even more people can enjoy it. YAY! And with out further adiue, I present this week's Soundbooth Sentances.....


We don't condone violence inside the theater. Only outside. So take her outside and then throw the bottle at her.

I want to be an elf.

Is he gonna blowtorch the bird?

Am I allowed to watch this? Yes....I think. WAIT! DON'T LOOK!

Pick the red one. What? The SKULL!

Grab your freaking bell!

so I'm back at pipeline

girls
sex
food
God
Friends
Missions Trips
Good times
bad times
work

These are the subjects that swirl in my head fairly constantly lately. Well, some of them just got added because they happened today, but we'll get to that later. First, the quick and easy ones. I've REALLY been craving ice cream lately. And I've been really horny for the past week or so. I'm not entirely sure why either of these are an issue, but they are.

I've really been trying to grow my relationship with God. I've been reading lots of books lately to help with this.

Free flow:
I wonder if I'll make any lasting friendships on the missions trip. I also wonder if I'll meet anyone in Finland that I'll keep in touch with after I leave. I miss her whenever she pops in my head. Most of the time I'm distracted by other things but when she pops in, she stays for a while. And then there's the other one that I really wish would leave me alone but doesn't. I wouldn't mind it if she wasn't always so whiny about everything, but MAN it gets annoying. I looked at (omitted name)'s butt tonight. I was doing something on the ground and looked up and there it was. And I stared for a couple seconds. I really don't know why this particular instance is sticking because it happens to me all the time, but it struck me for some reason. Maybe it's the horny issue.It could also be the oath I've made for the coming year. I've vowed not to get involved in any sort of relationship with anyone of the female persuasion until new years next year. So yeah. I'm really excited about the mission trip. I'm going to Finland in the spring. MAN. That's crazy for me to think about. The farthest I've ever been from Riverside is Butte, Montana. and really I didn't go there. We were just passing through. I need a passport. I'll have to get one asap. Man, I can't help but think about the possibility of meeting a girl there. I know that I'll meet a bunch of people male and female, but A girl, ya know. I can't dwell on these things though. That is totally NOT the reason for going. The reason for going is to spread the love. Share the love that God has shown me to other people. man. Ten days. I feel as though I should start learning Finnish. OR, ya know, what ever it is that they speak in Finland. We'll be working with college age people so they'll be able to help me along with the learning and they'll probably be eager to help me out because they'll see that I've made effort on my end to meet with them. And now I'm tired. So I'm going to go to bed.
