My Coke addiction

....No not that kind! Or maybe it is that kind! Your response to this title will all be determined by how well you know me. For those that don't know me, they may think I mean Cocaine. Fortunately that is not the coke I am referring to. The coke I am referring to, that you of those that know me already knew-is in fact.....



Coca Cola. Cherry to be exact. I drink so much C.Coke (as I like to call it) it is ridiculous! We are doing a series at my church in which we track our spending. As it turns out, I buy AT LEAST 5 C. Cokes a week. :::::Shivers::::: that's terrible. Terrible for my teeth, and just my health in general. but like Cocaine...yes that kind! it is a drug-at least to me. Some people have their cigarettes, some have junk food, I have my C.Coke. Its really quite a terrible habit. I can not tell you how many times I have tried to kick it! I gave it up for lent TWO years back to back. Both times telling myself

"okay after lent I am gonna ease my way off of it. "

obviously it was to no avail since I am typing this blog. I cant help it. Its my coffee. its my energy(at least part of it) its what helps me deal with pain in the booty customers 10 hours a day.


It doesn't help that I have an unlimited quantity of it at my finger tips EVERYTIME I go into work. I mean, even the strongest willed couldn't turn down a free coke!(and yes, even if its Dr. Pepper, Sprite, Root Beer-Its STILL a coke here in the south)


What to do!? I know they are SO BAD for me, but how do I ease off them, and STAY off them!!!!


GRRRR at C. Coke!!!!!

My Job hunt

 So as I mentioned in the last post. I am looking for a new job/career.  

I really think it would be cool to work for a radio station/TV station or a newspaper.  anything that could get my creative juices flowing.   Maybe that's why I'm doing this blog, to get my ideas out of my head and down on something that others can comment on and critique(constructively of course) and to just be able to read some of my thoughts sometimes as opposed to just having them.  So if some of these blogs seem random at some times, well, its because I am a pretty random person, and if they were well put together I would be worried.  My other blog however, http://npccsermonthoughts.blogspot.com May need some kind of regular format so that I might stay on task with the issue at hand.  

Here though....plenty of open room for randomness.  

Anywho, back to the task at hand-er wait, that's not a necessity here.  I dunno.  I told you....rants.  

The career is an issue I have been struggling with for quite a bit.  I want to have a regular 9-5 job, so that I may be able to spend regular hours with the ones I love.  I would also like to have a steady pay check, and KNOW how much is coming to me each week/month/year.  so that I may budget things better.  while I don't need to SAVE everything.  I'd like to be able to know how much id have to spend.  Basically, just not being in the dark about where my next phone payment, or rent check(when it comes to that) or car payment will be coming from.  Does this make sense, or am I rambling?  

I want to get married eventually.  I want to know that I can take care of a family. i want to know that I can do so, and see them on a regular basis.  

hmm.  Something I definitely need to pray about.  the hunt is on.......... 

My New Sight

It has been WAY to long since I have posted a blog. Well, here is the change to that. I have given my blog a facelift. New name, new layout, and yes-ALL NEW POSTS! I have deleted all the past ones and have decided to start fresh. So with that being said-without further ado- Here is my first new post in almost 2 years! I hope to keep it updated regulalrly.

The past year has seen many changes. While this blog has gotten a facelift, so has my outlook on life. (figurtivly speaking of course) I am still dating the same AMAZING girl as previous posts who those of you may or may not know. Sometimes I feel she is the only thing that keeps me sane. Shes amazing, and I love her to death!

Im still at the "Brick" but am honestly over it. I am trying to better my job into a carrer. VERY hard to do in this day and age. I am thinking maybe try to walk into a radio station, TV station, or maybe even the AJC, and work my way up doing somthing at one of those places. I love writting(while I am not very good at it, and one may not think since I havent updated this blog in so long, but I really do). I am really trying to pray about it, and see what God says about the whole thing.

My spiritual life is one thing that has taken change, but for the better. Since my last post I am in my second year of Disciple at my parents church, and in a small group at NPCC.-for those of you that arent familiar with what that is-its a group usually of 7 folks of the same gender(male in my case) and at the same stage of their life(married, or single) (single in my case) It is a good group of guys which actually contains ONE married guy, but hes a fairly "Newlywed" so we love him anyways, ;-) Former Braves pitcher Alajandro Penas son is in the group as well. We meet Monday nights. They're quickly becoming friends, andalready are good, Godly influinces I need in my life. I love NP. Andy Stanly is an amazing pastor, and I always get somthing form his messages-even if they are calling me out sometimes. I am trying to be more of the person God intends for me to be. I try to pray about everything major in my life, and "give it all to God, but its very hard sometimes. I want to be in charge, its human nature.

How can I give everything to God when I have so much trouble giving things as little as money. even if its $5. A wise woman once told me "In regards to your tything-give as much as your faith allows." Great point! I never really thought about it that way. I thought unless I gave a certian number, it would not be apriciated. God apriciates it all. this same person also said that with the "more you tyth, and put your money in gods control, the bigger your faith gets." Intrsting concept. I'd be intrested to see if that turns out to be the case. Maybe it will give me a new outlook. A new "sight"
