I received an interesting e-mail today. Due to nature of the e-mail, I was concerned about the implications of opening this e-mail, as there was a distinct possibility that it contained life altering information. That is not the sort of endeavor one undertakes with lightness of spirit and a spring in his step. You need a certain amount of moroseness before you have your life altered for all time

I am fully procrastinating at work right now. I am having one of those weeks. I just cannot focus on what I need to do, and I feel like I am getting nothing accomplished. I only have about 6 weeks of work left here...and I am trying to savour it as much as possible, but right now I just want to be done. I think it will help when I know where we're living, and when we start to pack and really

I don't really have anything to say, but I randomly checked this blog today and decided to write something. Hi everyone.Dan and I are moving to Abbotsford in just over a month from now. Wow! Well, I am moving down for a week and getting settled in, then coming back to Kelowna to finish up my job until Christmas. I wish we were there and settled already. This transition time is full of so

According to my Blogger Dashboard, this is the 501st post here. I find that number a little suspect, but who knows. Anyways, congrats to us!Otto, I want to meet that guy.So, I don't know how many of you know, but HA's mom is really sick. She needs our prayers. Thanks Moey for calling me and letting me know.

I don't have many deep conversations with Mitch. In fact, most of the conversations we have border on the absurd, and if they are not completely nonsensical, they are filled with terrible talk that would either get us fired or land us in jail. For example, Mitch one day noted that many of the plastic bins that we receive from large clothing companies could probably hold a small child. Without

The first time someone asked me if I was going to get into heaven was at an Independent Baptist church that a friend had invited me too. I'm not sure what made it independent, it possibly could have emancipated itself from its parents, but that's just shoddy guesswork. I don't really remember why I was there in the first place, as it is not the sort of location one frequents when drugs are

Merry Christmas everyone. I miss my friends today. Being with my family for Christmas is good, but I actually miss my Christmases I've spent away the last couple of years. But mostly I miss my friends.That sounded too sad. Be sure that I am loving Christmas and I am well.I've been up since 6am and am still waiting for someone else to awaken. Soon, I hope.Anyway, I hope you all are having good

So, this is just a vent about something that happened at school today. Mostly because no one is here, since you're all scattered throughout the country. Stupidly big country. Oh, by the way, I'm going to be in abbotsford from Dec 13-18. I also need places to stay. Maybe Allie, if possible. I should phone. anways, school thing...Last week a teacher's assistant gave a lecture on emotional

One, one thousand.Two, one thousand.Three, one thousand.Oh what a great movie. Not that I've watched it lately. Anyhow, just saying hi, and here's hoping I'm back in Internetland. I hate how dependent I have become on it, but without it, I am an island, and nobody likes Islanders.

I love Jesus, Holly. I do. It may not sound like much, because I'm the girl who has always loved Jesus, always loved being a Christian, always had it come easy...but it hasn't been that way lately. The last little while has felt so hard for me in so many ways. All the things that used to come naturally - praying, reading the Bible, going to church, loving people - have been work. I have

Can someone who still loves God and isn't bitter towards him please call me? I'm just feeling so frustrated here. Its like there was a big party, but then it was all less fun and people left. I feel like I'm that girl trying to convince everyone that sticking around is worth it. Why are so many people abandoning ship when things seem tough? I've been alright here, but there's so much Godlessness

How about the time that I got Caleb so mad that he almost mashed my face in with an Ikea stool? I once believed that such incidents as these were a thing of the past, a measuring stick that allowed me to gauge how far I had come since my second year of school, when I had a huge chip on

I tend to think that life is about security, that when you have a full year's rent, you can rest. I worry about things too much, I worry about whether or not my ideas are right, I worry about whether or not people like me, I worry about whether or not I am going to get married, and then I worry about whether or not my girl will leave me if I do get married...There doesn't seem to be any science

Also, this is the first year in a long time that you've been on a boat, and your job is based on boats. Maybe that's not it, but maybe its a bit of a trigger. This is a big year with a lot of reasons isn't it? I miss you.

There comes a day in every hockey fans life when all the turmoil and pain of missed chances and close moments gives way to new life and fresh hope. Today is that day. After 14 long years of "Should-haves" and "could haves," fate (and dare I say luck) has finally thrown the Oilers a frickin bone. Yes, the Oilers have advanced to the Western finals. Forget the '97 upset of the Stars. Forget the

Today was the first day of "real" summer here in Kelowna. And today I swam in the lake for the first time this year. Well, perhaps you couldn't quite call it swimming. After hiking 2k to the beach access, and sitting in the sun reading for about an hour, I then spent about half an hour tiptoeing into the lake, and straight out again, gaining the courage to enter the icy cold waters. Finally,

I'm going through my quarter life crisis now. I was really feeling sorry for myself today, until I read our blog and started feeling all proud and thankful that I have great friends who love God and each other, so I started to feel more secure. I'm feeling aimless and kind of dissapointed in myself. My life is certainly not what I planned 5 years ago. I'm not sure what I'll do, but I need

maybe i won't look for a new job right away. i was frustrated because it seemed that nothing was working out and nothing was opening up for me. and then God spoke. i don't know if i haven't been listening well, or if He just has chosen to remain silent, but it has seemed like a long time since i have heard Him. but when a number of other believers who you trust tell you the exact same thing

I'm taking a short break from my break of not posting on any blogs until school is done to write this post.This year has been a challenge for me. Actually, every year since I've been at Bible College has been a challenge for me, but this year more so than others.

I find I'm always better at writing things than I am at saying them. Not that I'm terrible at speaking, but when I write I have time to think through my words. And I can see them in front of me. Spoken words tend to dissipate. Written ones don't leave so easily."Don't it always seem to go, but you don't know what it's got 'til it's gone."I said goodbye to a dear friend last night. She's

It seems that even after years of dealing with a certain person, they can get in your head and mess with you. I saw it coming, I could see it coming from the moment we started talking, but I was held powerless to stop it or even deflect it.

Alright Bryan, it's been about three weeks since our last discussion. I hope progress on Stopfive is progressing. If not, I will send a posse over there to get you. And it won't be pretty.That is all.

ummm... I met a boy. He's cool, cute and likes the Jesus. I don't know a lot abouts him, I guess thats why we are hanging out this weekend. I am a little bit excited... and a little bit terrified. Exam time is a lousy time to meet a boy, have little to no interest in the Roman empire right now. Dan i liked your story.See how scattered I am.. this is brutal.His name is Luc.the end.

I've been reading a few people's blogs tonight, because that's what I do in the library. They're all super serious (including mine). So, to break the intensity a little, I offer, for your reading pleasure, the first installment of a story I'm writing starting now.now . . .nnnnnnnow . . .righhhhttttt Now.Arthur Allen stepped off the train almost unconsciously. It was 9 am, and he was grumpy.

I met a girl on Sunday night. It was this big setup. Kind of awkward, but kind of fun. I may call her. We shall see.Otto, this one's for you. I found it on this place called Lark news (Which I found from Kyle's blog):Bassist convinced he's the best musician in the worship bandFRANKFORT — Jerry Clark can slap the bass with the best players in town. And as a member of First Assembly of God's

It's late and I feel stressed out. I don't operate well under stress. In fact, stress pretty much shuts me down and I have to fight to keep on going. This semester has been pretty rough on me physically and spiritually, and I have found that after many nights of little sleep, I may have blown this semester. I have fallen so far behind in most of my classes, that I don't know if it will be

Well, I have officially moved back home (though at the moment, I find myself back in Abbotsford). It has been nice, though at times boring. I stay up way too late watching bad TV, then sleep in until noon. Sounds like the life, eh? Well the job hunt begins. I am also relegated to library internet, where my lack of procedure knowledge resulted in me being kicked off by a 5 year-old. Anyways,

A Flames fan eh?Wheeheehee.That's alright, I was cheering for them too.I'm really thinking about starting up a new Top 5 site, although I'd like to hear from Bryan on the issue. We'd probably have to make sure we don't let any crazy friends know about it. Anyways, it's something I'm thinking about.NHL 2006 tonight. The Flames-loving Oilers are going down.

I actually came on here with the idea to do a tribute to Stop Five Records, where I would do a Top 5 Moments in Stop Five Records Life, but I don't think so now. Really, what I want to do is confess a deep dark secret that I have been harbouring for just over a year now. I am deeply afraid that after I make this confession, I will be shunned by those whom have trusted me over the years. so it is

Holy Crap! The last time I posted here, I had just got the job at HoJ. Now, I've been done for a good week. I am moving home to Coquitlam one of these days (and by one of these days, I actually mean one of the days in the next week or so). Sorry Josh and Rob for not being sure. It's crazy how quickly time has gone by.I haven't had consistant Internet access these last few months since my

Sorry about that blog, it was ment for another site and it didnt fit here at all. As i am greatly intimidated by this blog full of more interesting people than myself i feel that i should just jump right in and write something that i am not going to remove due to stupidity. .... unfortunatly i dont have anything to write about. Oh maybe some mundane school life stuffs. Today Ryan (what is it

Hey Bryan, it would be nice to have some kind of update on your life, since I don't have your number, and you're never on msn.Are you still alive?Do you still have a girlfriend?Is it cold there?Are the Jays going to remain over .500?Will Stoppfiverecords rise again?Will you ever come visit?I'm seriously going through Bryan withdrawal. I don't think I've fought anybody since you left. Come visit

excerpt from a memo to Bry:This sounds exciting! Everyone is buzzing! This internet stalker has become an instant celebrity!I should just mention that we all realize you wouldn't do something this extreme unless there was a very good reason.I have an idea about how you could take this thang underground, because you're right: STop Five Records must never die!First you should get all regular

I had to delete the sight :(I got a very scary threat, and because some full names are on the sight, I thought it might be best to cut ties, I have archived all lists and will try to open up a new sight.sorryI loved that sight,can you tell people not to worry, stop five will never die
