This week has been pretty good. I didn’t do much yesterday but I made up for it today. I updated the server today. Nearly all of the software titles running on the server has went through a very extensive upgrade. It’s been about a year since I’ve spent that amount of time on the server. This comes along with a little fix (I hope it fixed it) I did on Friday with the servers keep alives.

This morning I got up at 9:20. That’s not good. I had just enough time to eat me leftover pancakes (made them yesterday) and take a quick shower. We were late to church by about 3 minutes, so I guess it was pretty good. I should get up at that time every Sunday morning, actually … well … maybe not.

Tomorrow work resumes. I love my job. I thank God for it, it’s what I like doing and everything. I’m starting to get a little more talkative I believe. I’ll be in infrastructure for another day (Monday), and then I’ll be back at the circle (ACSC). I like working at the circle. Infrastructure is nice, but I really like ACSC the best. I just enjoy working there.

Today I called Jonathan, whom I haven’t talked to in probably about two to three weeks. He’s been working and busy, so I can see why he’s not been online much. He’ll be a senior this year, school starts an early August 8th for him.

One of the best CD’s of this year will be out soon! Thousand Foot Krutchs’ new CD comes out Tuesday. I’ve already preordered it … and I’m so ready for it to come out. I’ve been listening to the seven songs they’ve released over and over for the past few days. It’ll be nice to know all the lyrics and listen to the rest of the CD. I hope to get it by the end of the week … it’d be nice if it came soon.

I need to get in the bed.

Just smile and wave boys, just smile and wave. Of course, that’s yet another quote from something I heard today. I went with the family to watch Madagascar. Overall it was a pretty good movie. It was obviously geared towards a younger audience, but I enjoyed it.

Today I went out to help troubleshoot a building on base. This time the DHCP server had run out of IP addresses for this particular area, so we had to call around and try to get some of them free so we could use some of those IP addresses. It was something to do. I used a Link Runner today. Those things are so nice, just hook ’em up and then find where the cable is your trying to find by listening for the signal in the closet. Quick and easy, quick and easy.

I believe, though, I’m going to go ahead and camp out for the night. I’m tired and been busy nearly from the time I got home from the movie. So, here I go: to bed.

Wow, I’ve not posted since Sunday. So this might be a long post, might not. A lot of things have happened this week.

First, the title of this entry is from a new song off of the new Thousand Foot Krutch albulm, The Art of Breaking.

I’ve always been strong
But I can’t make this happen,
’cause I need to breath,
I wanna breath You in,
a fear of becoming,
so tired of running,
’cause I need to breath,
I wanna breath You in

That’s some lyrics. I love the lyrics, so awesome. One of the great more worship oriented songs out there. That’s the song of my heart right now. I just want to breath Him in. Anyway, the CD comes out Tuesday, and I hope to get it by Friday (I pre-ordered it).

Today was diffrent at work …. I did a few things (not that that’s diffrent), but it took about the same ammount of time I had nothing to do. I went and watched a DSL router/modem be installed. I got to see inside the phone area (where all the phone cables on base go) … that was pretty cool. So, so many wires. And these aren’t cables — these are thin wires all over the place. Then you have cat 5 and fiber all over the place. It looked very complicated, but it seemed the lady working there knew what she was doing.

Later today I went to another building and got to see a switch that had lost it’s OS (fun stuff right there), and we had to go upstairs and copy the OS from it’s memory to a PCMCIA, then copy it to the other switch. I got to enter a few commands (wow, hands on), and then we left and it was about time for me to leave.

It was raining pretty bad this morning when I got in to work, it poured right before I got to work, so I was soaked when I got inside. Tomorrow is “lax” day, which is where I can wear jeans basically, so I’ll wear me some jeans. Yeah, it looked pretty bad with soaked khakis walking in to work. They dry quick, though, so it’s all good.

It’s just a little less than two weeks until Colorado. Wait … I mean, there is LESS than TWO weeks until COLORADO!!!! Okay, a little excited: yeah. Three years is too long, far too long. I’ll be in a big city with two Best Buys and a (gasp) CompUSA once again. It’s been too long, too long.

I’ve been reading a lot of news at work, as I always do, and I have found several really cool things, one of which is a cool keyboard that let’s you change what each key is. Why it took this long for someone to think of this: I don’t know. I just wonder how much it’ll cost and when I can get me one (if it’s good as I hope it is).

Well, I believe I’m going to try to go ahead and get in the bed. I’ve been going to bed a little late, and getting up far, far too early. So I’m going to go ahead and fall out I guess.

Somewhere between 12 and 14 hours came chatting.

Life. When you go to the store, do you think about life? Do you see a husband yelling at his wife? Do you just look away, or is your heart filled with compassion? When you’re standing in line ready to pay for your “stuff” do you look at the others standing with you and see them like Christ, and filled with compassion for them? I know when I’m anywhere, I just look at people like there’s nothing wrong … but what if who you’re looking at is so broken, they just want to die? I see people daily, but what if they’re the ones I should be witnessing to. Am I witnessing to them? Am I loving them like I should? Hell is such a real place, yet when I see people, I never think of the torment they might encounter when they die because they may not know Jesus. Sometimes I don’t do the things that I want to do. Anyway, just food for thought.

6:30 AM — it came, it rang, I was awoke.

Tonight I’ve not done much, heck, I’ve not done much the entire day. I woke up around 1PM, and then I got something to eat at around 1:30/2ish … then I did nothing the rest of the day but bummed in front of the ‘puter. I thought about gaming a little, but traded it for listening to the latest church service from New Life Church. It was on Hell. Pretty good teaching, the last 10 minutes defined the entire message. That was the best 1-hour time span I allotted to my 12 hours of being continuously awake.

So, whatever happed at 6:30, now yesterday, morning? Well, Emma woke me up with MSN. See, I went to bed at around 10ish last night, as I was just so tired, therefore I didn’t turn my away message on or set MSN to “Busy”, so I could still get sounds. When I got to my computer Emma was on. She had her webcam, so we had a nice little webcam chat, lol.

It’s time for me to end the blog for tonight. I’m gone!
