Tuesday Fun

It is said that when you're angry, the blood vessels start to swell in your face, causing a flushing reaction. Well ok I don't know who said that but thats the only reason I can think I'm so red these days. I have been pretty angry and bitter recently. And its always directed towards other people, not myself which is usually the case. My dad always said something that struck me as pretty profound, but like all profound things it's damn simple too, he would say "you have every right to be frustrated, but being angry is when you direct it at someone or something, and that is when you get in trouble" I dont know if thats a direct quote but thats about what he would say. I think its kind of true. On a daily basis I am frustrated with a situation I'm in, but recently this has just escalated into anger towards people. I get angry 'cause I think people don't appreciate how much I do for them. I get angry cause people make generalizations about me that I think don't speak to the core of who I am. I get angry 'cause I am not in control. All of the "I"s in this sentence make it very clear that I am putting myself before my neighbor and I don't think about their side or view before mine. To be fair, I feel really hurt by some of those people, but a lot of it has to do with how I respond to the opportunity to love unconditionally. I shouldn't become mad at people because I feel they dont appreciate me. since when was it my purpose to be appreciated? I shouldn't get angry with people who make generalizations, because I am making generalizations about them in formulating my thoughts about their conduct. I shouldn't get angry when I'm not in control because ultimately I will never be in control, God has that responsibility, I have just to respond to the tasks He gives me and to be a faithful servant. With His help and the prayers of all my brothers and sisters I can calm myself and serve better as a humble worker in His vineyard. thanks for those words Pope Benedict XVI.
Anyway, on a much MUCH lighter note, Mother Teresa's Family is inviting you to the Liwanag meeting tonight (thats weird to write at 1am). We have such a wonderful subtheme, I don't want to ruin it for you so you can come and experience it yourselves. I hate to be cryptic but I signed a confidentiality agreement......ok I didnt but Rica would kill me if I told anyone. No it will seriously be good, we have all kinds of goodies for you guys.........spiritual goodies that is! Hope to see you all out there!
So this past day was ok, just had my anthro class today and "worked" on my museum project. I say "worked" cause I didnt get much work done on it. But thats ok. I didnt have my 11am class since I dropped it, so that was nice. I hung around my apt till 6 when I went to Madrona to practice music for the meeting, and then came back home to work on the project more. I missed the YFC core meeting and Im sorry for that guys. I know you all hate me now. ;)
I talked to Kirs online for sooooo long today, mostly cause we were both hella bored and we started trading music so we were talkin trash when the other wasnt sending music. But yea that took up a lot of my time. Another thing that took up a lot of my time was customizing my own Dunks online. I know it sounds lame but since Jill told me about nikeid.com, I have been makin the flyest pairs of dunks ever. But yea that's a new addiction for me......not Dunks, just looking at them hahahaha I cant afford them right now. I do need new shoes tho, so I checked out the vendor fair on ring road today......they didnt have anything good. I am lookin at some es shoes that are PIMP!! I like em a lot and I will have them soon if I can find them in all white for pretty cheap. Anyways I need to end this randomness soon or I will bore you all to death. Hope you all will pray for me as I am praying for you. Remember that I am just a faithful servant of Christ to all of you so praying I can do.....and if you need anything more than that talk to me! :) Have a blessed Tuesday and I will see some of you tonight!!!!
PeAcE and God bless
