I've been listening to the Charlie Brown Christmas album a lot lately. For me that's Christmas.
Do yourself a hugeee favor and pick up that cd if you don't have it.
I am really glad that school is almost done.
And on saturday Rachel and I are going ice skating and I'm pretty excited about it.
Have good days.

President
I am currently looking at two potential presidential candidates.
Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee. Currently leaning more towards Ron Paul because I disagree with Huckabee on a few more issues than I disagree with Paul on. (Support of Israel and foreign policy being of main concern) Hmm, both seem like relatively good choices though. Which other candidates are everyone else looking at?

Sorry
I am truly sorry for the lack of updates everyone! It has been a busy couple of weeks, be it the long stretch before thanksgiving and all of the homework that I had, to the actual busy week of thanksgiving itself.
I'll just itemize things that I want to talk about.
Uno :
I do not get to go to Cal State Fullerton in '08. I am incredibly bummed on this fact but the sad truth is that most schools do not accept lower division transfer students. I don't understand why this is, but it means that I get to attend Fullerton college for the next three semesters while I acquire the necessary units for the transfer. I am definitely excited to start my new major however and next semesters I get to start taking photography and communications classes. Hot dang! In the meanwhile, if you knkow anyone who needs photography services then please put me in touch with them! That would rule.
Dos:
This whole switching majors thing has made me a little bitter toward some of the classes that I am taking right now, namely the bible classes. I am a little mad that I am paying so much to take these classes but their units will not transfer to any other school that I will go to. I still love the subject matter but I am completely over writing 2 to 3 bible papers a week for no credit. It's a major bummer. This got me thinking a lot about bible college in general, and i have come to the conclusion that bible college makes you test your relationship with God to an insane degree. I came here thinking that I had solid foundations in my faith, only to have professors' comments and questions from my peers and coworkers lead me to begin to seriously question my own faith. It's very hard to hear someone tell you that perhaps monogamous homosexuality isn't a bad thing, or that maybe God DOESN'T have a plan for your life. Solid Christian foundations suddenly removed from underneath you, it's a hard thing to deal with. I feel like I am regaining my trust and faiths in God's truths but I really wish it were easier. I have found myself wishing for a modern days levitical law, at least then it would be clear as to what good and bad are. To reconcile faith and philosophy in the same head has been the most difficult thing that I have ever tried to do. There is obviously a lot more thinking that goes along with this section and I'm sure there are holes and gaps and things missing, so this will probably get cleaned up a little bit in the comments.
Tres:
I love my girlfriend very much and I am bummed that I don't get to see her for two and half weeks. We had such a good week, with highlights including her family having thanksgiving dinner with my family and an epic amount of VERY early morning black friday shopping. We hit J.C. Penny's at 4 in the morning, Old Navy at 5, and Target at 6, and to be honest, I had a lot of fun with it. It was fun to literally run through the crowds to try and get the best deals. We also went to a "reunion" party that consisted of all of the people in our senior AP english class. The kids in this class were the brightest kids at school, the supposed stars of this generation. Political science majors, pre med students, engineers, all were represented. Knowing how much potential all of these people have made me want to talk to everyone about their plans, whether their goals have changed, what they've learned this semester - something! But no, all everyone ended up talking about was how much they love getting smashed and going to clubs. I was so saddened by everyone's lack of seriousness about life that ;ajshbgjkashg, I just don't even know. What a waste of potential, what a waste of brains. It's ok not to drink guys. It's ok not to drink.
These were three of my main points from the last couple of weeks and I'll try not to get to behind on my posts in the future. Sorry everybody. Goodnight.

Majors
After a lot of diliberation and discussions witha lot of people, I have decided to change my major.
Come fall I will be a photocommunications major at Cal State Fullerton. Next semester's goal will be to get me into that program.
I think this is the right choice and I'm very excited for it.

Fire
The fires today sucked. Rachel was stuck at Pepperdine and we had a whole bunch of stuff planned for today. Sadness ensued.
Earlier tonight I messed around with some point and shoot cameras laying around the room. Check it out and leave comments.

Also: sorry for the lack of updates, I'll do a better one later.

Understanding
It seems that the more I learn the less I understand. Throughout high school I had these spiritual, mental and physical rocks that I stood on and the more I learn about the outside world, different people, different interpretations of scripture, different world views, different takes on history.. it just seems like it is impossible to know anything. The more I learn about things, the less I understand as a whole.
Also, I had a couple of long talks tonight in which I realized that the music scene today is just a disgusting mess. I wish I was born in 74'.
Hardcore is completely dead as evident by all of these crappy bands out nowadays. Here's hoping for a renaissance in the future.
But I still have these old cd's and these old songs.
