18. That is (obviously) the number of days since the last time I posted anything significant- really anything at all! So I figured it was time to have a break in the midst of dusting/mopping/sweeping floors and walls! Well friends, it truly is good to write to you once again! ...and...of course there have several adventures since the last time I wrote! Firstly- I kind of had the gurgles yesterday (definition: when a wave tosses you not once- but twice and you breathe
in the water, which means you gots' the water in tha' lungs, thus after you re-emerge from the water and crawl to shore, the breathing is all gurgley', making you sound like a raspy old man) That's pretty much what happend- went to Makena with some super high hopes! (and I can hear you, "What what your high HOPES for Steven") Well, this is it: MONGO WAVES!! And my wish was granted. Risa, Jenna, Alyssa, Chris, John, Glenn and I walked out upon that glorious sand, and looked upon some killer waves that had some killer barrels, which made me surrender to it by jumping in! Ah-ha! :) I kind of got crushed by one of the waves that was prob. 12-14 feet or so- it hurt, and my ear wouldn't stop it's popping...ugh...annoying...ha ha! So I decided that I needed to go back in- and as I was making progress, the water pulled me right back into some huge waves, which crushed me again. I was getting 'gurgley' (as you all know now, ha!) and knew I had to make my way back to shore: FAST! So I panicked and got smashed again. (I wasn't doing so hot) So I made a prayer to Jesus that seriuosly went a lot like this, "Lord, I am not doing so good getting back to the shore, and if you could help me out, that would be swell! Please help me out." And by golly, you wouldn't have guessed it- but ANOTHER huge wave smashed me, but this time, it pushed me all the way to shore! (a cool answer to prayer) And from there I pretty much crawled back to shore, and slept for an hour or so on a sandy towel. Huzzah! After that- I played some weak-sauce volleyball, because I was the weak sauce. I could barely run. Did I already say weak-sauce?
This last Sunday was also really cool- because I was able to help Craig Mauck (my boss) in the worship by playing some bass lines. It was uber-sweet-thecool-radness.
Also- been listening a lot to the new Relient K album, which I highly highly recommend. It's all about a break up- and the stuff that follows a break up. The album is so diverse, I love it, a lot alot! x2 It's probably way up there for a Relient K album for me- I mean, I'm really impressed.

And since I'm ADHD (the usurper of ADD) right now, I believe I'll also let all of you know my few tid-bit thoughts of the movie 'WHere the WIld Things Are.' All I can really say, is it was such a different movie from I have seen in a long time- which can also include these things:
The movie was shot in a very beautiful way- I guess they really used big huge fluffy horned dudes/chickens/goblins wild thing costumes, but used CGI for the faces and talking. That part was pretty flawless. The plot was decent- but this movie is definetely not a child's movie- there were a lot of intense moments that would probably freak the poo-doo out of a child, which make you have to take them to the bathroom and help them out, which means that you'd probably miss some key moment in the movie, which would make your brows bend in a downward motion, and we don't want that do we? but yeah, not for kids.
But hey! Here's some good news (and if you've really read everything I've written- then kudos and a resassuring pat on the back to you! ha ha) You know that gorilla story I wrote? Well, I'm going to try to post the video here soon. But currently, I'm thinking about writing some more songs, which I haven't done in a while- I still have such a passion to make cds and tour, so I'm praying a lot about that. The cool thing about all of that is that it's not up to me anymore, so that is pretty much 'i'm in a hammock with a cool breeze and copeland playing quietly next to me' kind of peace. (actually it's a totally different kind...but yah know!...)
Hope you guys are well!
