i've reignited the flame in me that sparks my guitar drive. i got scared after i heard my friend's recording on his blog, he's really good! its time to get those fingers working again, re-make that overdrive patch, make it thick and heavy, preferably with a jekyll and hyde (if i do manage to convince the folks to get me one) and shred those solos.
kor heads off to geneva tomorrow for his worlds debate competition. i might not be able to send him off, in light of my worship prac at 8. priorities i have to set straight, to do or not to do.
i went running today. stupidly, i drank too much water beforehand, cause the weather was hot, and i thought i'd be thirsty. had a stitch while running halfway, so i gave up. jogged the remaining distance to the playground at the canal, went to the fitness corner. did the monkeybar skipping thing, 5 sets of 15 sit-ups, 5 sets of 10 pull-ups. before you laugh at me, please be reminded that i suck at sit-ups, and its the only reason why i dont get a gold for NAPFA. i get A for everything, but a D for sit-ups. so no gold. anyhow, completed it, and joined the small boys for a tiny bit of soccer. there's this pretty cool guy, who's probably around p4/5, real short, but can probably dribble better than most! he did uber-quick step-overs! all the child prodigys these days. after soccer, i strode all the way to cold storage (i dont know what's the past-tense of stride). bought 8days and 100plus tangerine, and went to queue. i happened to look around, and right next to me was this really HOT angmoh girl. presumably russian, wearing a tank-top in a loose-fitting shirt, and a short uniform-like skirt. (shorter than jiejie's, that's how short it was). but it didn't matter, she was a BOMB. her face was one of the prettiest i've seen. she had with her her family, i think. one really dark, tall man, possibly a cuban. i don't know if he's her dad, i think he's too dark. the typical-looking russian mom, and a not-as-good-looking older sister. she's probably as tall as me. anyway, they thought the next queue would be faster, so they went there. i silently rejoiced, cause then i would get a better look at her without being too conspicuous, i only got a quick glance see. once again, and this point i cant re-iterate more, she's HOT. woohoo! my eye-candy for the day. then comes the bang-your-head-on-the-wall part. she was with her mom in the queue, while the dad (let's just presume the cuban-looking guy is her dad) and sis were waiting outside. the dad was smoking, but i didn't think too much of it at the time. then comes the horror. as her mum was paying, she walked over to her pseudo-dad, said something in a foreign language. then
he passed her a pack of marlboros, gave her a lighter, and she put a cigarrette in her mouth and lit it! at that point my heart just sank. she's so hot, so good-looking, so pretty, BUT SHE SMOKES. what is this world coming to???!? that even the hottest of the hots, the prettiest of the prettys, best-looking of the best-lookings smoke. (i dont make sense here) this really shows the wide reach this addiction of smoking has on people. so disappointing. my "perfect girl", ruined by a stick of nicotine, tar and the works. ARGH.
the united album is scheduled to come out in early april, i cant wait! listen to the samples

stir it up in our hearts, Lord.
