Juvenile

Monday, July 20, 2009
Have you ever had a time where the people around you are just driving you crazy? That all you want to do is be left alone and not hovered over?

I'm sure any of us can say yes to this and any of us can say that it drove us crazy.

I can't wait for this next school year to be over. I want to be out of school and out of my current job and in a new and better one.

This summer has been a nice break but at the same time I can no longer stand being here in this place and for the past few days it is all I can do to stay here.

Until the next time,

Mike

I just got free access to the Norfolk Zoo!!!

Wednesday, April 8, 2009
We finally got in!

We have been talking about it for a while now and we finally got it. One of my animation instructors had a meeting with the coordinator of the Norfolk Zoo and every semester the teacher will provide a list of his current students to the zoo's coordinator and they will give us free admission to the zoo.

There is a catch however...

We have to provide artwork for the zoo to sell at their auctions so they can raise money. Since the zoo is a non-profit organization...it is a tax write-off.

Awesome, isn't it?

Until next time,

Mike

Time...

Sunday, March 29, 2009
I've noticed lately that even though the amount of school that I have is piling up. It isn't as though I am allowing my homework to pile up and leave it all for the end of the semester. It is just that I am finally getting it through my head that although school is important, there is still something more important in my life right now; that is my wife.

It seems that this past week has completely changed our marriage. Thankfully it has been for the better.

I'm not entirely sure what it has been, but it seems as though I have this brand new fascination for her and my love for her seems so new and so fresh every day. This is what I have been longing for in our marriage.

Now I know that it isn't going to be like this every day, it is just that I had hoped this feeling would have come a little sooner. The day we got back from our honeymoon we were moving in and a week later we had started school.

I thank God for my wife.

Allison, you are my best friend :)

Until next time,

Michael

Muslims are going to Heaven?

Wednesday, February 18, 2009
So I am sitting in my class here at Regent University; a university run by Pat Robertson, owner of CBN. I was surprised that one of the chair members of the school asked us to draw what we thought was the face of God. After about 5 minutes we were asked if we thought what we drew was like the person next to us. Now we didn't have to show each other what we all drew but we had to say if we thought what we drew was the same as someone else. I obviously, like everyone else, said no. The faculty member then went on to say that if someone has a concept of God, then we must respect that. Sitting there I was like, "okay, I can agree with that." Then, out of nowhere the faculty member said that we had to respect the Muslims and once again I agreed with  them. The part that REALLY caught me off-guard was when they said that we couldn't know for sure whether or not the Muslims were right or wrong. They said "I haven't gone to Heaven or not so I can't say if my way is the right way or not." I agree that I do not know what "their way" is so I can not say if they are going to Heaven or not...only God knows that.

Well, I just thought it would be interesting to those of you out there to know that Regent University now believes that Muslims might just have it right.

Until next time,

Mike

P.S. But they said they agreed with the Nicene Creed O.o

Housing...

Monday, February 16, 2009

This is our apartment and like a lot of you know, we had a meeting
today about whether or not we would have a place to live starting in
August. We just got done with our meeting and thankfully there was a
place still available for us in the other housing building (they are
making this building just for single undergrads). So I am glad we have
a place to live, even if rent is going up $75.

Thanks to everyone who kept this issue in their prayers. :)

Hell on earth...

Yesterday was terrible!

Allison and I worked yesterday from 9 to 3. Needless to say Mrs. Davis
worked and I almost freaked on her because she constantly was
screaming at me for doing my job...make any sense?

Well there was also some drama with this chick at work...some people
need to grow up and start earnin their paycheck. People think they
have worked there so long that they feel they can be slack and not
have to take orders (from those above them). It is going to be a rude
awakening when/if they get another job and their new boss isn't so nice.

I had Trent over lastnight, which turned into Kev and Nick coming over
as well. My Xbox360 died and THEN my wii died...all on the same
day...what a day!

Blahhhhhh!!!

Come on and give me a break!

This is my wife.

You have to start somewhere...

Well, I've been putting a lot of important things off for a long time...

So I thought I would make this Blob to tell everyone about it and to have another way to procrastinate!
