Ken's new favorite music to play as he goes through his daily, amazingly EPIC life is by the artist Within Temptation. Goth Rock + Symphony = ^.^

Ninjas are hydrophobic. God made them hydrophobic. Then God put ninjas in Japan so that they were trapped and couldn't get loose to terrorize the world.

Dear Blog,
Today was my first day at school for the spring semester. I have a headache. This, surprisingly, is not indicative of how my day went. That is all.

Fortnight

So... A couple weeks back, after practicing with Mitch for worship during Katalyst, I participated in the construction of a fort in order to repel a zombie attack. On a scale of one to un-friggin-believable the event ranked at least a freakin awesome. Since then I have gotten sick at least once more and gotten better (My immune system has got to be in all sorts of chaos), finished my list of primers, celebrated the dawn of the new year, had coffee with a good friend, combined a chess set and velcro to make a sweet travel chess set, driven 6 hours to the mountains by San Diego for Catalyst, taught 2 classes, had great food, and ran sound. I did end up getting my XBOX live account hacked and as such lost a decent amount of money and my Gamertag, however it looks like I'll be getting it all back so we'll see. Overall, a pretty good amount of awesomeness minus the getting hacked part. Hopefully my week continues to be good.

Christmas Spirit

The thing about Christmas is...... The thing about Christmas.... is.... The thing about this holiday is that it's intriguing. I am definately intrigued by how having the right, simple ingredients can mean such a large difference between a time of stress and a time of contentment. Many of my past Christmas times were quite wonderfull, with a decaying rate as I got older. What was this difference? Between the older and newer Christmas times? Imo, it was the focus. The focus was about me by others, and in turn my focus was on others thus perpetuating a wonderful cycle of kindness. When the focus begins to steer away from this fact, it leads invariably to disaster as the very foundation of the holiday is lost. And then people wonder why Christmas is so horrible. Perhaps you've lost something in your constant daily routine. I was once told that a lack of finances often is the best motivator for ingenuity. I wholeheartedly agree. Due to said lack of finances that Heidi and I are in, we set a $10 spending limit on our gifts for each other. My gift? A scrapbook, so that we can record our adventures together for the coming year. Had I not had the spending limit, undoubtedly my gift would have been of lesser value, not monetarily, but in its meaningfulness. I have spent this Christmas Eve with my Father-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law's friend. We went shopping, we went to get food, and just generally enjoyed each other's company. It was great since there were no expectations, we all were just happy to be together. Anyways, I do hope I get a chance to see/spend time with my little sister, but we'll see. Here's to you Jesus, thank you for coming and bring us the light.

There are days when I think, "what am I doing?" Then I read stuff from TextsFromLastNight.com and thank God that I'm not stuck with THAT as my life.

Carpe Diem!!!
