I was just thinking that some day when I die, someone might read my journals and maybe try to figure out who I was based on those things. At least, that’s what has happened to some people. Like Jonathan Edwards for instance. He was obviously a great man of the Christian faith, but I am reading a biography on him and there are so many views because of how people read his journals. I’m not saying that I am going to be the next Jonathan Edwards, but you never know when you will die. You never know. Death shouldn’t be feared if you are saved. “To live is Christ, but to die is gain” is what Paul said to the Phillippians. Is death a true gain for you? Maybe not? It’s hard to think about sometimes. I’m at a loss at the moment, so I better go. goodnight, goodbye.

Test Email Update
Hey kids, this is shay. I am testing out my abilities with the use of the beautiful world wide web.
Just Testing
check it.. check it out now.
Ok, So I’m sitting in Portland International Airport waiting for my flight to leave and I got curious about the wireless internet here. But you know what’s great?!! It’s free here! hehe.. I love it. I’m so online. I mean, I’m like the king of online. Ok not really. But this is pretty cool.
This is a picture of us in the snow at Bethany’s house. This is where I have been all week. Up in Washington State just chilling, literally. It’s been in the 20’s like the entire time that I have been here. Check out what we made though. This is like the coolest snowman ever! I love it. So, only like 10 minutes until boarding so I am going to put my laptop away. I am seriously living in like the coolest times ever.
This was never possible. But thankfully it is! Hope all is well with you and I’ll see ya soon!

Jones Soda
Well, I’m in Washington right now. At Bethany’s (my girlfriend) house! We’re having a good time just hanging out, making banana bread, doing puzzles, listening to good music, and shopping! I got some sweet new swag which I think is perfect for my season. I took this pic today and I thought it was great. Then I went online and posted it to the “Jones Soda Gallery” (www.jonessoda.com). You should go and vote for it in the gallery at their website. If you do a search for “shaycam” you can see the other picture I posted also! This week has been very very very very very gooooood! More to come! (can’t explain here at the moment!). Bethany is so cute these days though!
So This Is The New Year

the clanking of crystal
explosions off in the distance (in the distance).
so this is the new yearand I have no resolutions
for selfl assigned penancefor problems with easy solutions
so everybody put your best suit or dress on
let’s make believe that we are wealthy for just this once
lighting firecrackers off on the front lawn
as thirty dialogues bleed into one
i wish the world was flat like the old days
then i could travel just by folding a map
no more airplanes, or speedtrains, or freeways
there’d be no distance that can hold us back.

Thoughts On A Rainy Day
It rained all night. Its true. And it was really windy. I could hear the sound of the rain against my window all night. I had to get up at 4 am to be at work and it was craziness outside. but good. I wish I had a picture for you to see, but I don’t. I’m sorry.
I’ve been sitting here in Starbucks for the past hour or so working on some stuff on my computer for my boss. It’s been good. Getting paid to sit in Starbucks on my laptop; good times. I just tried calling my girlfriend, but her house phone is busy; not so good times. It’s been kind of a slow day at work. No one wants to get out of their car and buy coffee, they would rather roll down their car window and order that way, getting all of their leather seats soaked and ruining the interior, but oh well, it’s not my car. but when it rains in California, you might as well shut the state down. I drove to Burbank last night and coming back was insane. I mean, there was literally puddles on the 5 freeway. talk about awkward. and today, behind my Starbucks, a car was going too fast on the on rump and slid right off the other side! yikes! can you imagine being the car behind that guy?! Ok, it would be kind of funny for like a second, then it wouldn’t be funny at all. I don’t know, is that mean? maybe I’m a jerk. I don’t know.
I guess I’ll be signing off then. I’m hopefully having lunch with my parents, so that should be good. but I’ve been up since 4 so I’m going to try and take a nap right now. that’s all for now.
Trying On New Skin
So do you like the new feel? I’m trying to go for something new.. tell me what you kids think?
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Leave me a comment and tell me how your Christmas is going (or went!).

This my nephew Dylan! He’s pretty darn cute.

Maybe This Christmas Eve…
I’ve been awake for about 19 hours now. My eyes are heavy. I’ve been playing on my computer and uploading pics and doing whatever. People are messaging me and I’m responding, but I’m not sure what I am saying at this point.
Christmas is in an hour. I mean ,it might as well be Christmas right now. But you know for sure that hundreds of thousands of kids rest gently in their beds waiting for that moment when their eyes open and the day is anew.
They run to their parents to wake them up, or some might just run for the tree to see the new boxes that lay at the bottom. Soon the presents will open and the kids will play all day with their new toys. Some will get presents they don’t like, but they’ll be the coolest presents for one day.
I remember those days. Everything is so complicated now. Nothing is like it was. I mean, sure I’ll get up, whenever my body wakes up. I won’t be rushing for the tree though. Actually, I think I have one gift under there and it’s unwrapped right now. haha. seriously. No suprises here. I guess I’m rambling. Well, whatever.
I took this picture as the sun was going down. I thought you kids might like it. It’s the Christmas Eve sunset in the desert, beautiful. So as my Christmas Eve sunset goes down to rest, so do I. And tomorrow you’ll be reading this and thinking.. hhm.. I wonder if Shay’s up yet?
Merry Christmas kids.
