Was anyone outside for a prolonged period of time today?
No? Well, i was.
Yes? Good for you, read on...
And whilst outside, were you ready to sacrifice just about anything if it meant you could run through some sprinklers and stand in a freezer for a bit to escape baking like a french-fried potato?
No? Well, i was.
Yes? Too bad for us. No sprinklers or freezer showed up and i had to just bear it. You probably did too...

Just when you think you have things figured out...
God puts something in your life to make you again realize you don't have a clue what the next day will bring. At least that's how it's worked for me throughout my life.
i thought i had formulated a pretty good plan and picture of what the next step for me was, and who knows, maybe it still is. But a pretty major change has recently come into my life that's muddled things a bit, in a good way though. About a week ago after a couple weeks of hanging out, a friend and i decided to go ahead and move from just friends to something more. So yes, it's true, Cheryl has a boyfriend. i won't go into all the details, but basically his name is Michael, and i guess i'll just describe him by saying he's a very easy going, down to earth, hard working southern guy who lives simply and loves and knows God well. We've been acquainted with each other for years but never got to really know each other until now. Any of you that know me even a little know how unexpected this is and how i wasn't planning on getting into a relationship any time soon. But sometimes God puts things in your life that you weren't planning on, and all you can do is abide in and trust Him. While the past few weeks have been very personally challenging as i've been navigating through this very new territory, it's also been really good and Mike and i have really been enjoying getting to know each other. Of course i don't know where all this will end up, but when do i ever know how things will turn out?
In other news, it's the Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday mashup weekend! Something cool Josh Walker mentioned at church yesterday that i've never thought about was this. For people in that time, the cross and the horrific death it brought was a symbol of Rome's ultimate authority and power. It was a major deterrent to anyone who would defy the empire. Yet Jesus, by willingly giving up his life so that the world might be reconciled back to God, turned that picture inside out and in a sense said, This cross was a symbol of man's power to terrorize and put to death, but now it will forever be a symbol of God's unfathomable humility and grace. Pretty cool.
Okay this post is getting long. So lastly, i just have to say that Michael Clayton is the best movie i've seen since Bourne Ultimatum, and the best movie i've seen in general. It was very well-written, well-acted, it moved at a good pace, and was a great thinking movie. GO WATCH IT.

"We measure the size of the statue by the size of the hearts of the Korean people..."
This humorous article would be even funnier if the situation in North Korea wasn't so sad.

i wish i was this cool...
i just became secretly (or i guess not so secretly) obsessed with a guy named Remy Munasifi (yes, i'm blazing past that line between amused interest and stalking). i randomly stumbled across his youtube videos and he is HILARIOUS. All his videos are so well-written and random, i could watch them forever. I've posted one of them, but seriously, watch all of them because they're all great. My other favorites are "A-R-A-B: The Rap", "Macaca Blues" (for any of you that remember the Macaca! Senator Allen debacle from awhile back), "Hey There Khalilah" (a better version of the Plain White Ts song) and "Opposites Attract" ("I can't dance, she can't vote"). If you just search "goremy" on youtube, you can get to his page and all his videos.
Seriously, go check him out and be inspired like i am. Plus his video made it onto one of the youtube debates. If that's not reason enough, i don't know what is.
The first one is "Eggs Over Easy." I'll give you half a guess as to what that one's about, and the second one is his musical recap of his trip to Charleston for the youtube debate.
