I can’t seem to figure out what is wrong with my body. Constantly I am getting sick. Whether I am coughing, sneezing, wheezing, or even throwing up. I’m doing one of these things during the entire year. I know for sure it gets worst when the weather changes, but no one can seem to prescribe me the correct medicine to heal me. I am struggling with having true joy during my trials like James 1 talks about. Maybe I’m not cut out for this. I made a comment today to Bethany and I said, “.. Why can’t we just die.” “…To live is Christ and to die is gain..” (Phil. 2) is what Paul said in Philippians. Heaven would be so much better. Anyways.. I’ve got some stuff to do… peace.

Today.. I am sick. It hasn’t been that great of a morning. I woke up and I’m sick. I got my car back a few hours later, and the e-break doesn’t work. Then I forgot to tell my girlfriend happy brithday the first time I talked to her. I have a huge science exam that I think I’m going to fail. Basically, I’m a jerk. I shouldn’t even be typing this.. I should be figuring out how to make it up to Bethany, even though I know I can’t completely do that, because the damage is done. Anyways.. I’m actually in class.. so I’m gonna roll. peace.

What?.. What the heck happend to shay’s witty site with all this awsome some stuff!? Seriously, the site that he never updated!? Where the heck is it?!..

Well.. it’s on a vacation. Ok? Geeze. Calm down! At least I’m updating this stuff! Hope you like the new lineup!

thinking.. but slower this time..

I was driving home tonight and I got really excited about writing a new journal entry, but then I was like “.. ahh.. I’m not going to be able to because my roommate will be asleep and it would be to difficult to do everything in the dark…” But guess what happend?! He’s not here! So here I am! Typing away..!!

no but seriously.. I just got off work a little bit ago. We had a good close.. we got out like 15 minutes early; and if you times that by 4, I just saved my boss an hours worth of labor :). So she’ll be happy. Also on my way home I realized that my entire right side of my car is soaked because the Sparkletts water jug I had spilled in the back seat, so that wasn’t fun. I just cracked the window in hopes that the dry California air would evaporate it all. I think I’ll probably see that water again, the next time I go to the ocean. (if you remember your 7th grade science class then you’ll know what I’m talking about).

So, ideas are still flowing for the new shaycam. If you have any really good ideas, let me know shay@shaycam.com otherwise you’re stuck with whatever I come up with, and that’s probably not a good thing. As I’ve been thinking about this shaycam revamp, I’ve also been thinking that this site has been around for awhile and maybe it will be like wine, the older it is, the better. You never know.

So tell your friends about it.. in the mean time I’ll continue to go to my American Lit. 261 class and talk about how the pear tree in “Their Eyes Were Watching God” signifies her puberty (they didn’t say puberty class, but this is a “G” rated site.. well.. PG.. I don’t know what my rating is?..)

I think I really enjoyed taking this picture.. seriously, I may not look like it.. but I love it! (lol)

It is interesting that at 9:30 in the morning I roll out of my bed and I am on the internet surfing away. I mean, I guess hundreds or thousands of people do the same thing these days, but my dad didn’t do that when he was a kid. Seriously, he probably turned on the radio or put on a record or something, but didn’t get on the internet for sure.

I guess that’s my great a amazing thought for the day.. haha. So, my parents bought me a suit the other day. Not just any old suit, but a freakin’ nice one. Something “… real nice Clark…” That was fun.

Then I went out and bought a bunch of clothes with my girlfriend. She bought two dresses, and I bought some new dress shoes (for my suit), a pair of shorts, and two pairs of pants. And speaking of pants, my best friend Zach said that he and his band are starting to wear girl blue jeans. Isn’t that interesting? I’m not worried, it’s just what they do, and by they I mean “rock stars.”

Though I may promise it like every journal, I really am hoping to spend some time working on Shaycam and doing some revamp. I’ve actually started some of it.. but it’s just how life goes.. ok bye.

ps. don’t worry about SPAM! It won’t happen, trust me.

The apartment is lonely right now. I don’t mean that to say that I’m lonely in my apartment, but I mean to say that there is no one here. I can here some guys downstairs in my Resident Director’s apartment screaming about the football game that is on right now. You probably don’t want to hear my thoughts about that game, because you’ll just end up turning your computer off. Especially if you are one of those people that physically wouldn’t be able to breathe if the T.V. were turned off for a few minutes.

So.. no one is here. The TV is off, and there are two lights and my computer on. Next to laptop is a crumbled up paper towel, my bible, and my cell phone. Why the details you might ask? Probably because I sit here without anything to offer you. I could just finish and say goodnight, but I like the sound of the keys as I punch them. It’s somewhat relaxing. Have you ever just typed, it’s quite interesting. Some of you probably type with two fingers and get frustrated when multiple people instant message you while you are working because you can’t get back to the fast enough. Then there are probably some of you who can type, but would rather not spend countless hours in front of the computer screen chatting and searching the endless web we call the internet. Me, I just type. Only because I can. That’s enough about typing.

My life is still a rollercoaster. Hence the black and white photo of my face. I can’t seem to figure it out. Even now I want to go in to my room and drop to my knees and talk to God. You know I can talk to God right? It’s a little thing I like to call “prayer.” But I think I’ll do that… see yah.

Shay

Before writing this sentence I wrote about 12 different opening lines and erased them all. Maybe I’m a little insecure about what to write right now. I feel as if I have to live up to the photo you see at your right, or maybe I think something is really cool, but in actuality then next Joe Shmoe is going to come to my sight and talk smack about it. I’m not really sure.

So, what’s new? I’ve been sipping latte’s and doing Greek. There was a moment in this past week that my roommate and I seriously considered dropping this darn Greek. It is getting very tough. Thankfully that didn’t last long. We have a guy downstairs named Adam who really does a good job of explaining it too us and I really do thank God that he lives so close to us and can help us out. In fact, we have started a new deal and we are praying before we even start doing our “Greek Study Sessions” as we like to call them. Greek really does become your life while you are studying it. And just when you think you’ve got something down you learn a whole new pattern of something else and then you’re completely lost. It’s all Greek to me.

Some stuff happened this week. Stuff that I think if I told anyone they would probably freak out for a second and then want to hug me. I don’t say that so that everyone will feel sorry for me, but to say that my life is like a rollercoaster sometimes. But I have a hope.. and I continue to abide in that hope and the security that I have found in Christ Jesus. It’s tough at time, but you know.. it’s all building time in my life and I can look at it with the end result in mind. That being a man that follows Christ even when his life turns upside down. Pray for me. Pray that God would continue to use me to His excellent glory and that as I seek to do His will that He would put me in situations that allow me to see His hand working. God bless you guys. goodnight.

Sometimes you have those moments of contentment. It’s the moment where you are driving and the music is the perfect volume; not too loud, not too soft. the car you are driving is going the perfect speed and all you notice are the street lights moving to the sound of the music you are listening to, which just so happens to be playing the perfect song for that perfect moment. It’s the moment where, when you slow down the car, the music just so happens to slow down at the same time and you hear your turn signal blinking on beat with the music. then you arrive at your destination and the song finishes as you turn the ignition off. you pull your keys from the wheel get out and you walk as your keys now dangle in your hand. nothing stops you; yes people are still driving their cars around you and maybe you don’t have that perfect song playing in your ears, but you are walking to the beat of your heart. you’re content. content with everything God has given you. you see, I struggle with contentment. because not every day is like the one I just described. but like I said, it was just a moment… and then it goes away. and somehow quickly you re-enter the earth’s atmosphere and return to what you remember as earth. I know you know the moments I’m talking about. here’s some advice, love those moments and thank God for them. now go..
