I'm a Jamie Foxx Fan.

Lovin' the video! Gotta love the guest appearances by Ron Howard, Forest Whitaker, Jake Gyllenhall and Samuel L. Jackson!

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.
1st Peter: 8-9

Difficult people.

We deal with difficult people everyday. Well, I deal with difficult people everyday. Especially now that I work for Group Health-- never mess with people's health and their money. For REAL. haha.
Anyways, it frustrates me to try and help a friend that asks me for help, but doesn't want to be helped. You just can't help people who don't help themselves-- I've learned this from experience. Not everybody that comes into your life will have good motives. I believe God puts difficult people in our lives for us to go through the proving grounds. To teach us tolerance and patience. So, show mercy towards others even when you're right, let God handle the difficult people and do it all in love-- it's easier said than done but it's just another step towards being selfless. And a step towards selflessness is just another step closer to God.

for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
- said Jesus
John 5: 30

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Philippians 2: 3-4

Jesus answered them, Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
Matthew 21:21

Today was a GLORIOUS DAY! I woke up, did the laundry, dishes, got an oil change for the rolla, waxed my eye brows and spent the day/afternoon downtown Seattle with my sister and am now finishing off my night with a facial. It was so sunny out! Just walking around in the city on a sunny day puts me in a stupendous mood! I shopped a little and treated my sister to PF Chang's. It totally slipped my mind that it was valentine's day and I kept wondering why there were nothing but couples seated around us. haha. There were couples EVERYWHERE. My day wasn't spent with my "love" but it was spent with my favorite person in the world.

:)

The BEST SHOW EVER.

Rule #17:
Don't turn your back on bears,
Men you have wronged,
Or turkies during mating season.

These are my obsessions...

When I like something I become unhealthily obsessed. This MAINLY pertains to songs, practicing a song on the piano that I REALLY NEED TO LEARN, new foods that capture my taste buds and Starbucks' tall iced vanilla lattes. haha. But yeah, if there's a new song and I like I can listen to it all day, everyday, non-stop for about 2 weeks or so. Anyways, here are my newest obsessions (for now):

- Marcy Playground - Sex and Candy
- Drake's new mixtape
- Rachmoninoff - Opus 23. No. 5
- James Morrison and his ENTIRE ALBUM. His new one.
- learning how to play the guitar
- Lenny Kravitz
- Rock Band
- Joey's ahi tuna tacos
- turkey bacon
- red nail polish
- Miguel - Sure thing
- Jamie Foxx feat. T-Pain - Blame it

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.
- 2 Peter: 5-7

"Whoever corrects a mocker invites insult;
whoever rebukes a wicked man incurs abuse.
Do not rebuke a mocker or he will hate you;
rebuke a wise man and he will love you.
Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still;
teach a righteous man and he will add to his learning."
Proverbs 9: 7-9

Back to the daily grind.

"For when I am weak, I am strong."

I started my new job on monday and my sleeping schedule is back to normal. I vacation to ATL in 46 days! (Yes, I would be counting down the days) My sister got me sick. Again. It feels good to be back on my grind.
