Waxing poetic
by Did you ever feel that you were on the verge of something awesome... something wonderful... something great...
... and then something REALLY stupid happens and it's gone or almost gone? And no matter what you do or think, you have a sinking feeling there's no way to capture it back?
It could be the oppurtunity for a theocratic privledge... it could be a new friendship... it could be the perfect job... or something along those lines.
Yeah, something like this happened to me recently and now I'm wishing that Doc Brown would show up with his DeLorean and it could all be fixed.
Thoughts please...

what happened dave? Talk to me.
apparently the moment of revalation became the moment of disintegration, or disapation. I've had this kind of thing happen to me....daily. I usually lose my thought in mid-thought, cause I've thought of new stuff, and it's instantly replaced everything I was about to say. Dave, you can vouch for this. So I just stop thinking about it, and eventually it comes to me. As far as missed opportunities secularly, it's better to not dwell on what you've missed, because 1) we can't live when living is regretting, and 2)maybe with the opportunity would have come more opportunities to be tripped up spiritually. Ugh...not that you are doing bad at all, spiritually, but you never know what's going to bring you down. As the Bible says, he who thinks he's standing beware that he does not fall. You'll be fine. :)
I don't want to get into it, really... it just seems my life is a chain of missed oppurtunities and the result of not always thinking things through at times, which I am the one totally at fault...
It reminds me of an illustration that has been used... you have a down pillow that you rip open over a raging river... no matter what you do, you can't gather those feathers back after you let them go.
Yeah, things usually work out... but it's best not to open that pillow in the first place...
I think you know how much I can empathize with this journal, David. Like you said to me, Satan will keep you from serving Jehovah any way he can. You just want to be able to get away from it all and keep yourself from being hurt, but unfortunately, Satan will attack no matter what. You told me to take comfort in the friends and keep putting Jehovah first - no one has ever regretted doing that and you won't either. It's hard to see sometimes, like I said to you, but you were right, Jehovah is the provider of escape and he'll always be our tower. :) Call me if you need to talk. I'll see you at the meeting tonight!
see times like these you need fruit snacks. all over your body.
Hmmm... I do have to go to Shop-Rite... but I don't think even the mighty power of fruit snacks will change the past... oh, well... I'm going catabolic with no food in the house... better go get some vittles...
Looking back only makes it harder to go foward
this kind of thing never happens to me, once i start things i alwa...
no i know the feeling all too well. that's life though. it's like a rule in the book of life that everybody has to go through those kinds of things over and over and over.
Yeah, I guess it's life in this system of things... ugh!
and over and over and over...... (that reminds me of peewee's big adventure...do you remember that part?) OH MATT!!! they are making a Dumb and Dumber prequel!!!! It's called "Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry and Lloyd Met" And NO this title has NO spelling errors! It comes out next year, can you wait!? Sorry David, if I'm a little too excited for the overall serious mood of this journal, it was just something that came to me.
none of hte original cast :/
ian, you are the MAN! I can't wait for this movie! I hope it's not a total flop! I hope Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are in it!
cough look up :)
yeah its not them. I read about this a while ago. it some no-name kid actors. 
Eric Christian Olsen
and Derek Richardson who I could not find a picture of, but played bit parts on Felicity and Strangers with Candy
If jim carey & the other guy are not in it, it is a gauranteed flop
yeah that dude looks like a wannabe jim carey
is that the guy from gilgmore girls?
That's okay... you know I was reading Di's Neon journal... I think I'm going to break tradtion and head to the mall and get a Godiva chocolate bar (I don't ever go to the mall during pagan shopping days...)
go for it. my friend allyson and i have come to the conclusion that chocolate, ice cream, and/or hot tea can solve any problem in the world. For instance, if say Arafat and Sharon sat down for some tea and ice cream, i bet the mid-east would be much more peaceful. It will work for you too. Oh, and a little prayer doesn't hurt either. :)
haha, over and over and over and over... haha, such a funny movie. yeah, i've been hearing about that prequel for a while. i'm not too psyched about it though, i dont think d&d can be topped, but maybe i'll be pleasantly surprised.
you're right, I shouldn't get my hopes up. (I haven't been thinking that a sequel could ever out do the original, but this isn't a sequel! It's a prequel! But that means nothing. I don't know if it's just a really horrible idea, or what... I guess we'll have to wait and see)
seriuosly dumberer... the prequel. it's going to be amazing. i'm gonna dress up at harry.. who wants to be lloyd.. we can go and camp out and stuff... ohhhh good times.
Um... HELLO????? This isn't what the journal is supposed to be about!!! HELLOOOOOOOO????
man dave you are soooo narcasstic. :)
haha i will dress up as lloyd...if only my front tooth was chipped. maybe the story will get into how his tooth got chipped..and all about that chick that they fought over...the one who took them to that nice motel, you know, classy..
oh man! Freda Thelcher!
Okay.. this journal is touching on a stupid thing I did with my MTS application... a small goof up that could have cost me being accepted and the fact that I think our CO probably wonders where my head is at...
don't worry...Jehovah knows where your head is at: put it in his hands.
i hate it when you are sleeping and a good thought comes to you as you are waking up and you go to do it and you forget. the other day i thought i had this idea for a great outfit and i woke up to put it on and i totally forgot what i was gonna wear. it was so upsetting.
i always have ideas for lyrics but if i don't write them down right away, i forget them.
wax on. wax off. secret of the ooze
that movie is a classic
i love that movie. our parents took us to see it soo long ago. i remeber that so well
so what exactly are you waxing...?
his car probably
