I have been playing guitar for ten years now… leading worship, giving lessons, performing, and even taking silver at a musical competition… *drumroll*… all without ever owning an acoustic guitar! (I have owned an electric Fender Strat all these years though; some of you will remember her name is Jasmine).
But that’s right: I’ve been borrowing […]

Almost Bitten By A Black Widow Spider
The first day of my paint-stripping project could have started out terribly. Since I was using highly toxic, industrial-strength chemicals, I had purchased some chemical gloves at Lowes. I used them last week for my trial run of paint stripping, then stored them away in the backyard.
Well, this morning I picked up the gloves and […] -

Pole Stripper
My job for today is: pole stripper.
And if that doesn’t sound right, let me clarify: I’m stripping paint off of wooden poles. As some of you may know, we’re in the middle of redecorating the interior of our house: repainting, reflooring, maybe adding track lighting to the hallway. Along our entryway, we have four turned […] -

Wish List
So, there are a few recent developments that have added or rekindled my desire for some big-ticket items. I’m struggling to put them into a reasonable order of purchase without acting rashly or outside of my means, since I’ve already made a few big purchases in the last 5 months: Photoshop CS3 and two trips […]

Google Wildcard Saves The Day
So, I was composing an e-mail this morning but had one of those tip-of-the-tongue (tip-of-the-fingers?) moments. I couldn’t figure out the correct word meaning “scope of differences” for the following context:
“There has been an increasing ______________ between the methodologies of the two systems…”
I thought “discrepancy?” No…
“Discongruency?” No, that’s not a word.
“Disp.. disparagement?” Haha, not the […] -

Back From London!
Well folks, I’m back from my 2-week trip to London! It was a lot of fun! I’ll try to blog about my trip and post some pictures soon, but for the next couple days I have a lot of work and things to catch up on and take care of first. Aside from work, one […]

If I Blogged…
If I wrote a post every time I thought about writing one, this journal would be as substantial as the last (my college one). Unfortunately, laziness usually takes over. Either that, or I convince myself that it wouldn’t be worth it to take the time to post anyways. Whatever the reason, that’s why it’s so […]

Humbled By A Guitar
Grace and I went to visit some of ROCK’s students in Riverside on Monday. While lounging in Sarah’s apartment at Cal Baptist, I had a very excruciatingly humbling experience.
I tried to play her roommate’s left-handed acoustic guitar.
I have a newfound understanding and patience towards anyone I teach to play guitar. I couldn’t get the correct […] -

Injured Diaphragm
Prayer request…
So on Monday afternoon, I started having a sharp pain just behind my ribcage, below my heart. My family was pretty concerned not knowing what it was, perhaps fearing the worst knowing my diet (yes I’m skinny, but with my metabolism, I’ve lived with the liberty to eat just about anything… I’ve always said […] -

Looking Back Through 2007
Happy New Year’s Day, everybody! I can’t believe it’s 2008. Last year seemed to fly by so quickly; I guess being out of school does that to you.
Lately I’ve been looking back to see what happened over the course of the last year, and it’s interesting to see what became of things. Here’s my year […]
