WOW

Ok, it really has been forever. To which I apologize.
I am home from LA.
Now I'm working on what comes next.
Anyway I'm really going to start blogging more often because well I'm nerdy like that.
I really like the enter key (it helps me feel organized in my thinking). In fact, I think that if you were to somehow split my brain open and see all my thoughts, they would be organized in nice little lines. All uniform and such.
That is just how it is.

Been a while...

First of all I would like to say I'm sorry that my posting has pretty much been non-existent. You see, all forms of blogging websites are blocked by the internet where I live, and I don't get out much to where I have internet that is unrestricted lol.
So there you go.
Hmm random things that have happened. Well, I have about two months left here in LA. I come home in August, but I'm hoping to come back for another year in September.
I have discovered a new love for oatmeal. It's kind of addicting, but the texture is so weird. But it fills me up so that is all that really matters.
It's been nice and sunny here. Ironically enough I haven't been to the beach once since the weather has been nice. I have been out in the sun though, and am sporting a lovely farmer's tan. Hopefully I can get rid of that sometime.
I drank chocolate milk the yesterday. You know since I played chocolate milk pong it just isn't the same.
I don't know what else to say.
Oh, I have given in to the twitter trend. If you really wish to know what I am doing and my thoughts on life follow me at @jensen182. Don't expect too much. Most people tell me I'm funny though.

Chocr olate Milk Pong

Probably one of the worst ideas ever. About a week or two ago I played chocolate milk pong with a group of people.... I drank a lot. I drank for other people, and then me and my partner lost so I drank some more... Moral of the story is I ended up throwing it all up.
Just don't do it my friends. Just don't do it.

About time...

It's about time I sat down and posted again.
So... Yesterday was the Oscar's. Me and some friends went drving around Hollywood in the hopes of seeing celebs but no such luck. Go figure, they had all the streets blocked off. Oh, well though it was something to do.
Then we went and drove around Beverly Hills. It's pretty nice up there you know.
What else to write about??
I'm officially half way done with the Movement. We had our mid-term last week. Basically you get tested over 100 scriptures. I passed with a 96.4%. Which is good seeing as failing is below 95%.
Man nothing else is really new.
Peace...

o.O

It's been a while, this I know. I've tried to find some internet to blog three times now, but sadly all three times it hasn't worked. Until now that is!
For some uknown reason the stupid computer is running so slow. It's updating itself, and decided that it needed to run SUPER slow. We're talking like snail mail slow here people.
I'm trying to think of what I have been up to. AAB yesterday was a lot of fun. There was this huge group from Cottonwood Church (I have no idea where it is). Their youth pastor was from Australia, like he's been here for only a couple of weeks. Anyway they came with our normal group to go pray for this lady. She has some lung diesease, and is bed-ridden. It was really cool becuase one of my fellow Movement students, Jessica, opened it up, and then opened it up for anyone who felt led to pray to pray. One of the Cottonwood kids was the first one to jump on that. What was so cool about it was I had heard him a few minutes before telling his friend how he didn't like knocking on the doors asking random people if they needed prayer because it threw him way out of his comfort zone. But there he was standing in this woman's living room praying for her healing.
Something I realized recently was how many homeless people you see wandering the streets. What really brought it to my attention was a comment my roommate's mom had made. She said, "Don't you ever wonder how so many people could have lost where they are going in life, and end up living on the street corners?" That got me to thinking, how do all these people end up like that? I mean I've noticed all the homeless, but it's never really hit home. They all have stories, they are all there for one reason or another. It's kind of heart-breaking driving around seeing all of them.
Me and two of my roommates went to Hollywood the other night. We went to this mall on the Walk of Fame, and there were all these strangely dressed kids. We found out that there was an Alice in Wonderland party thing, and if you dressed up you could go into Hot Topic and get free posters. I felt so at home with these kids. They were all emo/goth kids. It was pretty funny. I turned to my roommates and was like, "Now these be my people."
Random story, we took the Metro subway thing to Hollywood. My roomie only had a $20, and it's a $1.25 for a ticket. The stupid machine gave her $19 in change. Litteraly change, it was one dollar coins.
Those are about all the random stories that I can think of.

Doing something more....

http://www.therebelution.com/blog/
Here is a blog started by a couple of teenage boys when they were 16 or 17. I think they're 19 now. Regardless, they got sick of living the average teenage life, and decided that they wanted to try and make a difference in the world. They started this blog with the idea of writing about issues teenagers deal with, and having teenagers comment on them. These kids have done some amazing things. They helped run a political campaign, they have written a book, and now they go around holding conferences trying to inspire young people to do something.
I give mad props to these young men. Check them out. It kind of makes one envious thinking about what they have been able to accomplish. But then if you really stop to think about it, we all could be doing something like this. Most of us are just too lazy...

Mmm... Coffee...

Sorry about the random incomplete-ness of the last blog. I was at the place called Stories, and then my laptop died. Sadly there were no plug ins for my charger. I know story of my life... Just kidding...

Hmmm... So what has been going on with my life.

My roommate did some of my laundry yesterday. Then I did the rest of my laundry. Which was a super good thing; I had about three weeks of laundry backed up. Which was mostly my fault, but I was busy and one week the power was out. Washers and dryers do not work without power :(

Never fear the power is back on, and that is all behind us.

Now I'm sitting here, the coffee is gone, and I'm surfin' te web. It's pretty and sunny today. I love it. I keep trying to find a video of what we did at Pastor's school, or of the video promo for the Movement. But I can't find anything which is making me a little angry...

Oh well, it just keeps freezing my computer... so toodles for now
