Trust in GOD

I’ve caught myself relying on myself instead of God. Lead me forward, Father God, into spiritual growth and deeper wisdom. I trust in you and give up everything to be your disciple.

I wish I could go back and make things different.

Play!

Two Fridays ago (8-04-2006), I went up to York to meet up with Hizzle Vizzle and Dizzle for a concert down in Virginia.  “Play! Video Game Symphony” (http://www.play-symphony.com/home.php)  Over 6,000 people from the DC area showed up to enjoying pieces from various games: Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Battlefield 1942, Metal Gear Solid, World of Warcraft, Sonic the Hedgehog, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Mario.  Ate at an amazing pub/brewery called Sweetwater Tavern in Centreville, Virginia.  Great atmosphere.  Got back to York at 2am so I just crashed at Dan’s place.  

Drove back to NJ from York Saturday(8-05-2006).  Dropped off Amir’s computer which I had since last week.  Met up with Ted, Wong, and AMIR later in the evening for “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”.  I really didn’t have high hopes going into this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised by the hilarity that ensued.  Church and lunch with CCNJ.

New Toys
I’ve finally picked up a Garmin StreetPilot c340 GPS Navi for my dad.  He needed it more than I did.  I’m probably going to get the c510 or c550 once I pay off my bills this month.   I’m finally able to justify investing in a SUN workstation for myself for learning purposes.  Got an amazing deal on Ebay for a SUN 1000 Workstation.  2GB Ram, 2x 900Mhz SPARC CPU’s,  2x 36GB Fibre Channel drives  All for  just under $500.   One of the parts I bought separately shipped from Israel.
