Surviving Wayne: June 2007

So I did it! Tonight I went and got a tattoo! It hurt like crazy, but it was worth it. Here is a pic of it.

It is actually on my right leg. This pic was taken through a mirror. I will try to post some more pics in a few days.

I can't believe it, but I actually survived!

Surviving Wayne

Which Jedi/Dark Jedi are you?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

You are Obi-Wan Kenobi, a human hailed by Master Windu as the "Master of Soresu," combat form III. You formerly practiced Ataru until Qui-Gon fell using it against Darth Maul. You fight defensively, protecting yourself with a nearly impenetrable lightsaber wall and only striking when your opponent makes a mistake. People look up to you for your patience, and your piloting is excellent in spite of your dislike of it. You deem combat with a lightsaber and the Force as the best, but you have extreme disdain for blasters (good shot facing Grievous, though). After cutting Darth Maul in two, you went on to train Anakin Skywalker to be your equal in combat, though he later betrayed you and the Jedi Order. During the Clone Wars, you were the mastermind behind the defeat of the Banking Clan and Dooku's bounty hunter minion. You were an eventual member of the Jedi Council and one of at least two survivors of Order 66. After facing Anakin, you moved to Tatooine to deliver Luke to his uncle and aunt, then lived in seclusion for several years while communing with Qui-Gon. After meeting Luke, you helped him rescue Leia and then sabotaged the Death Star's tractor beam so your friends could escape. You then made the ultimate sacrifice: dying for them at the hands of your apprentice. You continued to help Luke through the Force and were there with Yoda and the redeemed Anakin to celebrate with your friends on Endor at the end of the Empire.

You mainly wield a blue lightsaber.

How do you compare?

New Marks... Maybe?

I think I have decided to get a tattoo. Paula has been expressing lately that she wants to get another one and I started really thinking about it. We have also been watching "Miami Ink" and that has persuaded me a tad.

This is the tattoo I am thinking about getting.

I will probably get it on the side of my right leg, just below my knee. If I get it, I will get it by the fall.

Anyway... I will survive.

Bring The Rain

Here is a really neat video I found on YouTube that uses that song I mentioned in my post from last night. So if you haven't read the blog from last night, read it before you watch the video. Enjoy!

Time Flies

Yet again I find myself feeling a tad guilty for not blogging. Paula and I recently started using MySpace. We don't blog there, but use it to just "hang out" with friends who are not really near us.

Anyway... so what has happened since I've last opened my life to the world wide web? I have battled with Tendonitis in my left foot/ankle over the past month or more. I got a severe sunburn while visiting Myrtle Beach. I've seen the three top movies of the summer: Spiderman 3, Shrek The Third, and Pirates Of The Carribean At World's End.

Of course some things never change and are constant... like right now, Paula is looking over my shoulder and giving me unsolicited corrections to my grammar and watching my spelling.

Just kidding... no she really is looking over my shoulder, but what still has not changed in the love and grace of Jesus Christ.

There has been a song playing on the radio lately on the Christian station. I must admit that I usually don't always focus on words of songs as much as the arrangement of the song, color of the tones, or use of the instruments. I say that to say this: Jason asked me if I had heard a song called "Bring The Rain" by Mercy Me. I really couldn't remember the song. Jason sent me the song and, as I listened to it, I recognized the music.

The words really spoke to me. So tonight, instead of letting you know that "I will survive," I leave you with the words to that song.

"Bring The Rain"

I can count a million times

People asking me how I

Can praise You with all that I've gone through

The question just amazes me

Can circumstances possibly

Change who I forever am in You

Maybe since my life was changed

Long before these rainy days

It's never really ever crossed my mind

To turn my back on you, oh Lord

My only shelter from the storm

But instead I draw closer through these times

So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace

Bring the chance to be free

Bring me anything that brings You glory

And I know there'll be days

When this life brings me pain

But if that's what it takes to praise You

Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of

The dark clouds that may loom above

Because You are much greater than my pain

You who made a way for me

By suffering Your destiny

So tell me what's a little rain

So I pray

Holy, holy, holy

Is the Lord God Almighty
