Ecce potestas casei!

This guy is cool.

Yeah...if you just watched that you may as well watch this one too. You're welcome.


So I went to Washington DC to visit my girlfriend for Spring break and had a great time. Rather than write about that for a while I'd much rather explain the horrid flight I had back to school.


It all began when I had to wake up at 4:00 AM. I get to the airport and I suppose we all got the memo to get there exactly 1 hour before the flight left (5:00 AM) so the check-in line was ridiculously long. So far things are a bit irritating but I'm alright you know I mean it happens no big deal right? That is...until I boarded the plane...I walk onto the plane looking for my seating thinking in my head that I'm just going to lean against the window and go to sleep. I walk up to 18D and see that it isn't the window seat like I thought, no it's the middle. I sigh and accept my situation. After sitting down I wait roughly 20 minutes until the plane is getting ready to depart. Surprisingly there was no one beside me nor was there anyone across the isle. The whole row was empty...until the last minute. Then a man in shirt and tie hustles onto the plane walks straight to my row and sits down next to me in the window seat. We both did the awkward "I don't really know you and neither of us are sitting next to one another by choice" nod. Then a married couple comes onto the plane with two little boys. The mother sits next to me while the father sits with the 2 boys across the isle. By this point I realize that I'm not going to get much sleep regardless how tired I am but I haven't lost all hope. Suddenly one of the little boys starts pitching a fit and won't stop shouting. I try to be sympathetic because I know the parents are embarrassed but they just sit there not doing much about the child. So it's now 6:00 AM, I'm exhausted, I'm stuck in the middle seat and the little hellian won't stop screaming. To make matter's worse one row back Aunt Jemima starts coughing really hard and loud. I have now mentally erupted. I lose all control of my body and bunch the innocent man sitting next to me. I then stand up and start shouting at passengers with an Irish accent because any angry white person is Irish. The pilot comes out of the cockpit to calm me down but I punch him out and go take over the plane. Ironically I flew the plane and made it to KC in half the time it would normally take...ok clearly I am lying the story stopped being truthful when I said I "mentally erupted". I just realized how drawn and boring I was being just to complain about something that in the scope of life is really trivial and not worth writing about.


While I'm complaining about useless things I hate the following 3 sports teams: 


1. Duke University
2. Dallas Cowboys
3. New York Yankees


On a more interesting note: I sold my Xbox360. Why, you ask? Because I wanted to buy a new one : )


What I've done is sold my older 20GB HDD model (which is actually an elite with a smaller HDD) with 2 controllers for $200. I then purchased the new Final Fantasy XIII bundle with a 250GB HDD for $400. I had been wanting to buy both a 60GB HDD and Final Fantasy XIII which would have cost me roughly $160-170. I thought I could get a brand new system with no fear of it "red-ringing" on me without a warranty plus a HDD with 3x more memory capacity plus the game I already intended to purchase. Originally I thought it was only $300 but I was mistaken. So I spent $40 than I planned but no matter I still think the overall investment was worth. Especially considering how difficult it is for me to purchase any high-priced item that is primarily for pleasure and entertainment. However, I won't be purchasing and more items such as this for quite a while. I have much higher priorities but I figured this was a good way to "work the system" (no pun intended).


Funny Story: I walk out of Pelfrey Hall at school (the school's main building where class rooms are located) on my way to Lang Hall (the men's dorm) and I see a guy walking across the parking lot with his head down. I jokingly walk up to him and say, "Hey man, you look down want me to pray?" Then I jokingly pretend to pray and then say," Nah, I'm just joking with you, what's up?" He then get's the distorted "pre-cry" face and runs away crying. Needless to say this was hilarious yet I still felt awful at the same time. Oh well.


Speaking of prayer I have decided to start waking up at 6:00 AM everyday to pray. Every day. I just wanted to go on offense instead of always playing defense by waiting for opposition and strife to come my way before I really start praying and reading my Bible. I guess you reap what you sow and if you want a solid prayer life sow prayer.


Lastly, I have decided to add a "Quote of the Day" section to all of my entries to go along with the others so...yeah there's your disclaimer.


Verse of the Day:  Philippians 2:5-11 - "⁵Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6who, though he was i the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, ⁷but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. ⁸And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. ⁹Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, ¹⁰so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ¹¹and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
