Went to Laura’s open house. That was awesome. Great food, good conversations.. then went to the beach party. Lemme see if I remember everyone that was there without missing a name.
Jennifer, Angie, Ashton, Jeannette, Paula, Sarah, Mary, Joe, Pat, Mike, Scott, Tim, Noah. I think that was everyone. If I missed anyone, I apologize.
I’m going to bed, gotta get up early to leave for South Bend for the weekend.
Hey everyone..
I just saw Batman Begins with my awesome friend Jaci. Haven’t seen her in about, oh, a year and some months. I think the last time was at Catholic Central and West Catholic’s play at Aquinas College. We went to get food first, which was cool. Also in attendance at the movie were the three Narnia sisters: Rebecca, Cynthia, and Rowan, and their parents, who I met in a fleeting moment after the film.
Batman was excellent. A wonderful Batman film. Long, yes, but it had some great stuff in it, and was grounded in reality for the most part. It had a very gritty feel to it, and it had some humor to it, which came at refreshing times. It began strong and ended strong and the middle was full of great characters and a fantastic beginning to a classic character.
Jaci: It was great to see you again, hopefully we’ll get to hang out again soon. You’re awesome. I can tell your faith is strong. Don’t lose that, you are a blessing to your friends!
Jenny: I’m sorry I forgot to mention you when I wrote this, but heck yes I saw you! That was an awesome part of the story, too! Because Jaci was like “Hi, I’m Paul Martin and I know everyone!” Props to you!
Got this from my AWESOME friend Jaci:
You hate humans is what you say
And I understand how you feel that way
All girls dream of a fairy tale
But what you got is like a used car salesman
Trying to conceal what’s wrong
Behind a smile and a song
And I’m not saying that
Boys are not like that
But I think you should know
That some of us will grow
Because…All princes start as frogs
All gentleman as dogs
Just wait till it’s plain to see
What we’re growing up to be..
‘Cause some frogs
Will still be frogs
Some dogs will still be dogs
But some boys will become men
Just don’t kiss us ’till thenYou found him is what you say
And we all want you to feel that way
The frog you’ve got seems cute enough to kiss
And maybe frogs seem like that’s all there is
But just because you haven’t
Found your prince yet
Doesn’t mean you’re still
Not a princess
And what if your prince
Comes riding in
While you’re kiss’n a frog
What’s he gonna think then
So look into his eyes…..
Are you a princess or a fly?

As we grow up we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too so (remember) how it felt when yours was broken. You’l fight with your best friend. you’ll blame a new love for something an old one did you’ll cry because time is going by too fast and you’ll eventually lose someone you love, so take too many pictures laugh too much and love like you’ve never been hurt because every 60 seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.
Saw Harry Potter and the Prizoner of Azkaban on Friday morning at 12:01am. It was really good. I wasn’t really surprised by that, I thought it would be. I saw it with a great group of people.
Hit the beach yesterday. ROCK!
Got BangTheBucket.com Window Clings! Need a car for mine.
Lots of people showed up, and we ate lots of burgers, played some Ultimate Frisbee, and Threw around a football, a frisbee, and a volleyball, all simultaneously.
Laura Neiser showed up. Haven’t seen her since 2003. She was at my table on the fall Antioch Muskegon retreat. Such an awesome person. Hope she’s on team on a future retreat. She has a way with words that can put things in perspective, and make things work. She’s one of the most memorable candidates I’ve had at my table. So reserved, yet so kind, and a strong person, but very faithful. If she’s reading this, she’s probably got tears in her eyes..that’s cool, she’s like that, which is awesome. She sees the beauty in things.
What the heck is going on? So last week I was supposed to give the talk at Antioch on Thursday. More of leading a discussion though. No one showed up except for Joe and Scott. We just went to Cheers.
The topic that I was given? Leadership. It was really quite incredible that this was the topic. After the events of the last week and a half, a few people didn’t end up in a very good spot. The worst thing is that they know better. There is no excuse for their actions. None.
What gives some people the idea that drinking a lot is setting a good example in front of those that are underage? And then ending up on a floor, or God knows where else… and drinking underage…that also pisses me off, the immaturity there.. seriously GROW UP!
