Depends

In the meaningless yet perfectly descriptive words of Meechy.........Man o Man

Well, yesterday was the LOG Mass and it was goooood. But it was kinda like deja vu for me cause it was very similar to, and almost as long as, the Mustard Seeds mass I went to on Monday night. Both were really good actually, all the seniors had great things to say and of course it was mass so it was good. Nuff said.
After LOG we went to........yea you guessed it, Norm's. Man o man, the special is grreat. Not sure if its as good a deal as last month's but still WOW! like it says. Me and Kirss were too hungry for just that to be enough so we shared some chicken strips or tenders or whatever you call them. Anyway, it was damn good and just the right amount. Good times.
Tonight was the YFC potluck and a grip of people showed up it was tight. We had lots of food, then lots of fun either Mad Gabbing it or playin the geetar. Good to see a lot of those peeps, hadnt seen them in a while cause I missed last weeks meeting. Again, good times.
Afterwards I was bored and I knew I wasnt about to do anything productive, so I called GP, who was with Kirss and Derrick cause they all went to the potluck, and so they picked me up, we went to Rite Aid, and we had a blast. The ice cream that they scoop for you was too hard cause someone left the freezer on or something, I dunno the manager was just pissed thats all I know, so we grabbed a half gallon of Butter Pecan instead and then looked at Magazines for a lil bit. Didnt do much, just argued about if N'Sync would make anything good if they got back together, and what haircuts looked like Kirsy's. We also made fun of Derrick cause he knew how old Jesse McCartney was and how he is related to Paul and what kind of hair products he uses, you know, stuff stalkers know. Then we went to eat our ice cream. Man o man that was fun. We fought over every single pecan in there like it was the last bit of food for each of us, or in Kirs's case, the last baby around. Yea we were kinda dumb and crazy but it was fun. We're getting strawberry next time.
Anyway, this blog has taken me too long. I am helping people with papers which I find really ironic since I was working so hard on mine the other day and every time I asked someone what it sounded like, they gave me a blank look that basically said "Joe that sucks". So I dont know why Im so popular, but its nothing new really. I am used to being in high demand. Its ok. I wont "forget the little people" as Rona put it. Anyway Im tired of blogging; about 2 pages early today.
Have a good nigh/morning/day(tmr). Peace

Real Quick

This will be an uncommonly short post for me, mostly cause it's nearly 4am and I'm in the middle of an all-nighter, but I just had the mos overwhelming feeling just now when I was praying for my paper to go over well hahaha. (Funny how simple things are exponentially more beautiful). Anyway, when I was praying I realized that God has blessed me with so many beautiful people and relationships that I wouldn't want to ever jeopardize for anything. This was also spurred by Jill's blog so yea I'm not being very original here but just let me gush for a minute about you guys.
Everyone in every group I know........UCC, and the other groups, as well as dorm buddies, home friends, and family. I haven't shown any of you enough love and respect. Let me make it up to you just a little bit by saying thanks for the bad times, good times, and all the times. just your presence is enough to drive me to my knees in thanksgiving to Him.
If I may share a lil anecdote I was telling someone the other day, I often like to think where I would be if I had made different decisions in life and I was musing about where I would be had I made different decisions about my spiritual life at UCI. I will be absolutely honest with you guys, it was the first time in my life I have been happy about the decision I made. I realized that the thing that brought me ultimately to all of you here at UCI was daily mass. If I hadn't gone to daily mass, I would not have been asked to serve in UCC, and never would have been introduced to all of the groups so thoroughly. I would only know some, if any of you guys. It makes me shudder to think that I might have been living a life without any one of you. And God had a plan for me, to lead me to His greater Body (you guys) through His real Body, the Eucharist. Anyway praise God for daily mass, it can seriously change your life! I am stopping cause I need to write a paper, but please know everyone that I think of you and love you with all my heart, and if I havent shown it, may I work extra hard in these trying times to reach out and offer a hand, a smile, a word to repay any offense. Fr. Pat told us in (guess where?) daily mass today that we should assign ourselves with titles and so I leave you with one of the many God has graced me with, but one that speaks to my core,
Your Unworthy Brother in Christ, Joseph
