call me out side ill come runnin down to you...
loosing track of days and wondering where the time went since all i really remember in the last couple days is going to buffalo wild wings with critter hitting on the waitress who serves us every tuesday and and being at work. today was good though i made some star stencils and put them on teh bumper of my car. i thought about spry painting the whole thing but it never really happened cause my dad would tell me how stupid i am. so the bumper has the girl laying down stencil forwards and inverted and 3 stars so its kinda like this
* 2-------8 * 8-------2 * and that is blue so tonight i bought some hot pink spray paint and i am going to go over it with that so it will either just be a big sloppy mess or it will look pretty sweet. either way i have paint on my bumper. i also bought a puzel tonight it is a windmill with TULIPS isnt that cute i mean you know how i love those tulips i think it is missing a piece already though. but it was somethign to do for 3 hours with friddie. i think it will take a couple weeks to do maybe but it will be something to do around the house i guess.
i like working nights cause i get to read a lot i am currently reading fight club which is pretty much just like the movie so far and the life of God and the soul of man this is by henry scougal its good but sometimes the entire paragraph is one sentence long wierd and you thought i was the run on champ ;) i got my hair cut yesterday andthe girl did a good job i think and she was real pretty. anyways i love the books im reading and so i will write a quote so you can see how long this guy makes his sentences plus its kinda good you intriguing makes you think.
the worth and excellency of a soul is to be measured by the ojects of its love. (crazy long huh...)
ok this second chapter was so awesome i am going to put all the things i highlited from it here so i hope you think that it is as nice as i do even though you will be lost for context...i suppose you might pick it up though it all about love.
other things can be taken from us by violence; but none can ravish our love:
it is not possible to refuse him anything to whom, by love, we have given ourselves: nay it is the privilege of gifts to reveive their value from the mind of the giver, and not to be measured by the event, but by desire, he who loveth, may, in some sense, be siad not only to bestow all that he hath, but all things else which may make the beloved person happy;
Again as devine love doth advance and elevate the soul; so it is that alone which can make it happy: the highest and maost ravishing pleasures, the most solid and substantial delights that human nature is capable of, are those which arise from the endearments of a well-placed and successful affection. that which imbitters love, makes it ordinarily a very troublesome and hurtful passion, is the placing it on those who have not worth enough to deserve it, or affection and grattitude to requite it, or whose absencemay deprive us of the pleasue of theis converse, or their miseries occasion our trouble. to all these evvils are they exposed whose chief and supreme affection is placed on creatures like themselves; but the love of God delivers us from them all.
what is a little skin-deep beauty, or some small degrees of goodness, to match or staisfy a passion which wasmade for God
love is all the tribute we can pay him, and it is the sacrifice which he will not despise.
i am content to be anythign for him, and care not for myself, but that i may serve him.
he would snatch a kiss from teh hand that was smiting him, and gather sweetness from the severity...(i love that one)
the severities of a holy life, and that constant watch which we are obliged to keep over our hearts and ways, are very troublesome to those who are only ruled and acted by an external law, and have no law in thei minds inclining them to the performanceof their duty; but where divine love possesseth the soul, it stans as sentinel to keep out everything that may offend the beloved, and doth disdainfully repulse those temptations which assault it, it complieth cheerfully, not only with explicit commands but with the most secret notices of the beloveds pleasure, and is ingenius in discovering what will be most grateful and acceptable unto him; it makes mortification and self denial change their harsh and dreaful names and become easy, sweet and delightful things.
there is no slavery so baseas that whereby a man becomes a drudge to his own lusts, or any victory so glorious as that which is obtained over them.
the humble person hath the advantage, when he is despised, that none can think more meanly of himthan he doth of himself; and thereforhe is not troubled at the matter, but can easily bear those reproaches which wound the other to the soul...
man so many little pieces of advice and insights to truth i love reading and i love quotes so there are teh best parts of chapter 2. maybe some of you made it this far if so congrats my friend on reading the longest blog ever by wess howell sweet huh...

I liked the quote that said that the thing that makes love am hurtful passion is giving to people who don't have enough affection and gratitude to requite it.
It's a very powerful thing to say... interesting the way the we can only have sadness if we have love first.
