"I got my defenses when it comes to your intentions for me..."

Goo Goo Dolls- Here is Gone

This song has been stuck in my head for a long time now .it might not be helping that I have it on repeat on iTunes right now. But I must say it's great. Yea that's all about that.

Yesterday was the SOL Spirit Rally with Liwanag and some other peeps from UCI and SDSU. It was purdy good I must say. The death of the Pope so recently brought a certain amopunt of solidarity to the event that might not have been there without it (I say "might" cause I'd never been to one of SOL's rallies before yesterday, so I dont know if the unity was more than other yrs). But they made a vid of the Pope that was amazing. It had all kinds of news footage from the entire course of his papacy. The most impressive part of it was the fact that they compiled it in 1 week! It looked pretty pro and they had literally 6 days to do all of it. tightness. But there were good talks, good spirit, good food, and all this added up to a good time. The Lord was definitely at work there.
I kinda had a funny thing happen tho. At the end of the Spirit Rally they invited everyone who was considering a religious life to come to the front and adore the Blessed Sacrament. So I went. That isn't the funny part, be patient. Afterwards I was chillin and Gerard came up to me and said, "I didn't know you were discerning". It made me think. I've always thought I would have a family, you know pursue the marriage thing, I just go up cause I need to keep an open mind. Joyce asked me the same thing on the way home and it was then that I realized I hadn't known how many people watched those of us going up. It isn't really haha funny just odd, cause I always knew I was going up to pray for the grace to discern, but I hadn't realized people saw me go and thought "Oh shoot, he's gonna be a priest". Not saying Gerard thought I was going to be a priest for sure, I just never thought so many people paid close attention.
Afterwards we ate at Banana Bay which was good. I ate soooo much. After my first plate of chicken I ordered some pad thai that I shared with Brenton. Man that was good esp cause I was stuffed to the gills after I finished it. And the eggs in it were damn good Man once it touches your lips it's just soo good.

So I'm tired of writing about stuff you guys prolly don't care about.....ie my life. So I'm gonna comment on things you guys like to hear about....ie you guys. Kinda like shout-outs, but they won't always be nice, cause Im not always nice.

And I'm really sorry if I forgot to put you on the list.....there are so many people!!! Anyway have a nice night and good luck this second week of school. I leave you now with the lyrics of another song stuck in my head.....Dave Matthews' #41 (yea that's the title):

I'm coming, waltzing back
and moving, pushing into your head... please
I wouldn't pass you by
Oh and I wouldn't take any more
and what sort of man goes by?
I will bring you water
Why won't you ever be glad?
It melts into wonder
But know that I'm praying for you
Why won't you run
into the rain and play
and let the tears splash all over you.

Yea I don't know why that song, but it's freakin awesome, especially the Live at Luther College version. So yea, peace out kiddos and see you when I see you.
