I am the BUNNY Cardwell....

OMG Its Christmas

Happy Christmas to everyone, even you Mr. scrooge (and uncle scrooge McDuck),who will soon redeem himself of all his years of crochetyness. Well, today is a pretty good day. Yesterday wasn't. I was really depressed yesterday all day and couldn't put my finger on it. I had a few things that I could blame but mostly I just felt like crap. Anyway, I met with a few people for prayer last night and found out that it is kind of going around up here. After prayer though I felt markedly better. Went over to a friends house, had some wine, took the car to an undisclosed location and practiced drifting, looked at the stars, got the cops called on us, avoided the cops (actually we had to talk to him but he was none the wiser that we were the culprits), hid the car, played cards and went to bed. This week has been kind of a tough one for me. I can't say exactly why but I've really been hit hard lately...if you know me I'd be happy to tell you whats going on but I don't want to get too comfortable with this medium. Anyway, today is 10000x better and I'm excited for Christmas. Mc Jordan will be here this afternoon, a fact which thrills me pink and tickles me to no end. My internet friend date was this past weekend. I had a good time and think I made a good friend out of it. We spent time checking out a new city (Greenville, SC). It has actually been there for quite a while but was new to us. It is also the home of Charles H. Townes, inventor of the laser beam. A laser is a device that controls the way that energized atoms release photons. "Laser" is an acronym for light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation, which describes very succinctly how a laser works.
Anyway Addie, I had fun despite the awkwardness of jumpstarting a friendship from the internet. This weeke has also made possible several christmas parties. I got to hear Kamran Yaraei play the guitar and sing in Persian at Suzy's shindig. I also made it to the Joyners party where we had tons o fun. I stayed up way to late but it was good to see Aaryn and Anna Joyner back in the Falls. Thank you Father for ,Jesus, for friends and your Holy Spirit


O LORD, hear my prayer,
listen to my cry for mercy;
in your faithfulness and righteousness
come to my relief.

Do not bring your servant into judgment,
for no one living is righteous before you.

The enemy pursues me,
he crushes me to the ground;
he makes me dwell in darkness
like those long dead.

So my spirit grows faint within me;
my heart within me is dismayed.

I remember the days of long ago;
I meditate on all your works
and consider what your hands have done.

I spread out my hands to you;
my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.
Selah

Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.

Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I hide myself in you.

Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.

For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.

salt

Wow, sodium overload. Holy crap. I'm eating the saltiest chicken tenders in New Yourke. Still working and bored as ever....hence two posts in two days. Well, the good news is I get to go home tomorrow. I've never been so happy to go back home as I am to go back home....tommorrow. Wow, I had to pause to appreciate the awkwardness of that last sentence.
New paragraph (the only way to cut ties with the awkward sentence above). This paragraph didn't really start with a real sentence. Sorry Mrs. Hobson.
This is a new paragraph. Okay, where were we. Oh yeah, seriously, the carrots are better than these chicken fingers. My main reason for wanting to get home so bad this weekend is to meet a girl that I've only been in touch with via email and a couple of calls. Shes a friend of Jenae Bergerons and she thought we'd get along if we ever met. I moved fate along by getting her email address (stealing it rather) and introducing myself. She'll be in South Carolina this weekend and I wanted to take advantage of her being so close so I plan on traveling down there. Yeehah...as father Cardwell would say.
In other news Jared is leaving on the 9th of Jan. for . IF you want to go visit me with him next fall then leave a comment on this piece. It'll be awesome. My other favorite contraction beside It'll is That'd. As in that'd be awesome if you wanted to go to the Ukraine to visit my badass brother.

I love the winter, just not so much this week b/c I have to be out in it. A southern boy in upstate New York...culture shock. Well, I just heard another one of Imogen Heaps songs that make me pause everything and listen to it over and over. Jared says I wear music out by listening to it too much. Anyway, I'm in New York for anyone reading this. I'm at work laying block on the Wal-Mart here in Fredonia...you know Fredonia. Its my first job as a superintendent/foreman and I'm stressing. Not to mention its cold as balls and I don't think I'm going to make it back into town this weekend. Which sucks b/c I was meeting my internet friend this weekend. You should try randomly emailing a friend of a friend. Sometimes it works. So anyway, I come down to the lobby of the hotel and update the website and browse myspace b/c the guy I'm staying with is Spanish and likes his soap operas. Anyhow, I hope everyone has a good holiday seasoning, especially me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS INDEED! You know whats waiting under this REAL tree for you? A limited edition directors cut version of YOU GOT SERVED!
