So, it's been quite the month, school still blows as always, took me two weeks before I got my laptop, lame, and now that I have it it's not working properly. Something pretty amazing happened though, which is likely one of the most important happenings in my life previous or to come so I'll share that. On the 8th or something I was driving to school but my ipod wouldn't work, so of course hating the radio I just turn the stereo off. So I prayed for a ton of things the whole way down to oshawa, one of those things being my current questioning of what I am supposed to be doing. This was due to my huge dream which can be seen in the dreams section, I had been meeting people all summer who share similar passions. I knew I was supposed to act on finding all these people, by bringing them together and sharing the possibilities of them each being part of a massive plan that I saw. I never did of course, even after a pretty neat happening at Tehillah Toronto one night. So, nothing happened to connect me to these things anymore and I was quite relieved, because I'm no leader, at least I never have been before due to my insane levels of shyness. Well, now back to the prayer, I prayed about if I was supposed to do something about all this that there would be another connecting point like was happening all summer, so that I would finally do something about it. Big surprise? That connecting point came, sunday night on our prayer walk, we missed the parking lot by the coffee time we were going to pray around. So someone suggested we park at are just leaving that night youth pastors house. Unknown to me and most/all ?others? between the two locations was this gorgeous building with glorious size, location, look, and apparently availability. hmm, ya, well lots of cool things happened with that and so I knew this was the way larger than expected answer to my prayer from a few days ago. Ever since I've made good on my commitment to not let the leadership of this project drop. Here I am today, looking for the true will of God for this project and/or building, looking for dedicated team members, and quite possibly $5,000,000. Maybe I'll fill in the rest of the story at some point, there's so much goodness in there. In other shnews, Matt is gone off to school just when we were starting to have large fun, oh to the day when he returns with permanence. I also met up with my new friend Kristen which is also a cool story, I run a cool hand luke group on myspace, and she's part of it, and has read my blog before but never contacted me. So when I posted my baptism announcement she saw Ray's name there and asked if it was the same Ray that would be the new youth pastor at her church; it was. So I went to play with her for a few days a couple weeks ago and we went to a couple cool hand luke shows in michigan and had a glorious time, and I met her souper kind friend of 33. We'll probably be going to see the Myriad on the 25th together too, oh so hip times. I went and saw them on the 15th with Tom and Sam from work, had a sweet road trip and a swell time together. I guess one last thing, hopefully a new saturday night series has started, The ALPHABETDAYS!! So on saturday night we(the people who don't like pointless, expensive, non-relational things) were looking for another fun idea for free/cheap so I suggested we go to the airport, which later built into needing food(apples) and needing something fun incase airplanes weren't enough(acrostic poems). Thus began our A-Day of joyous flying, food, and fun poetry. I think it was a pretty neat success; we'll find out how B-Day sounds to people next week. thanks for caring, hugs and chomps, jrarr

So, my dad got a job again, it sounds like this one should be pretty hip. sweet. So things just keep getting more rad, let me tell you, if this fall doesn't change my life, I at least hope it'll change yours. So many good things should happen, and I better not be able to blame myself if they don't, SMACK! well, here for you, a story, of 2006 so far!! at last! enjoy? *the complete list of photos is in photos -> daily life 2006 so i start off the year in usual form. but then my mom decides to pay me $5 each to cut out 5 of my 'hideous' dreads. sounds like a good deal to me, i like the look of these better anyways. and then there was more of this, but then there was none of this and I was pretty darn sad for a long time, and it still blows some pretty large chunks but get over it or die. So I drank from a hip ol cup, and listened to some hip tunes and I wasn't so low anymore. It all happened while school, was, all, lame. And thoughts haunted while I was on a special vacation with my family. I guess my sibilngs and I still had some fancy times, which made my mom and dad pretty happy. Kind of like the feeling of holding babies or chomping people; at least I think that it's nice. So I came home after a sad birthday spent in new york and ottawa and kingston. I tried not to be too grumpy , by doing things like racing my hair cutting skills against a clock of 20 seconds, but it ended up being an 80-second hair cut, if you really care..(some people do) here's a VIDEO. I bought a turkey for easter, and my mom thought that it was pretty ... .... So I decided to work on my friendships that might have been lacking, and not just due to my drooling problem. Then it was the last day of school, which is pretty much the only day of school I really like and get excited about enough to do things for random ladies on the otherside of glass; they usually don't notice/care though. So now I figure I need some hobbies in order to make myself more interesting. but most people don't find ME very interesting despite such efforts. So I went back to the old ways of inspecting armies of weeds and tearing their hair off, which pleases me slightly more. Then there was this brick which I decided held together a whole building and could not be moved.... so I moved it, and washed my feet of such acts, with help from my accomplice (who later buried dead babies) sorry. Then we made some art which was a huge hit. Thus we labelled flowers in honor of such events. I then joined three youth groups but got kicked out of the coolest one by this man, don't worry, he's cool regardless. Since I couldn't befriend the souper cool youngens anymore, I had to try and make friends with lesser cool beings; ah life. just kidding, I'm usually just too scared of such encounters. So I fled immediately to kingston to watch my sister in pink lose to some yellians. I had some pretty, sweet, alone, time, under this tree. it was the bomb? at least the heron seemed to think so. Then my sister Rosanna, took me climbing at the tallest indoor deal in canada. She likes turtles. So we went hunting for some. All we found was nofx graffiti which I thought was just as ?cool?. Then it was off to Montreal to finally meet up with my dearest chugger waited two years for those grand soggy hotdog times! I was pretty excited so I decided to think about dancing here. Then I met chuggs neat friends, benOIT and Felix, and we made choco fondooooo together for chugg and all. Too bad chugger was sick the whole time, and it went so quick and it was time to say goodbye to brunswick boulevard. Thus my fish decided to have babies in celebration of my return home. So I decided that not having any accidents on my record was a bad idea, or maybe some crazy lady decided to drive into me and blame it on me, wee! Then I was 'hired' to be a n, i, n, j, a(hah) in a film series. but i make a lame ninja despite my tree climbing, abilities? Then my dear pal MAGS finally agreed to hang out with me, and we chased a semi-sweet, storm together. The aquabats told me to have a pool party, so I did, and the results were painfully, rad. Then my cousins came over from minnisoda and I got paid in skittles to take e, n, d, l, e, s, s, pictures for them. sssss... weeeeet. Then I hung out with my palette cindy and her nosepickin, sister and we watched someone try to tow a canoe but it tipped and we had almost as grand a time as watching good ol freedom like a shopping cart. I like stuff. Stuff like wayy past midnight and docks/water and finding people who enjoy similar things as I; because I usually do them alone. So my parents exist, and so does my good friend tom, who gets paid to play games at work. My hair was pissing me off again, so I challenged myself to beat my previous snipping record, but I got the same, lame. at least it looks better? this time. So I'm pretty well done stenciling my new car my sister gave me. I'll have to show you all those pictures soon, it's ultra rad. Kind of like flowers so neat. Yet not quite as neat as fat men or dancing men, but probably better than angry men, but which picker drew which pichure? Then there was this pretty SWEET SONG someone started to sing. I think it'll be a huge hit. Even this picky fellow who scrubs the same small piece of glass for 5 minutes straight would be impressed. So there's this judy fella who seems to be one of the most eager people to be my friends, weird; but THANKYOU! Then I stuck a spoon in someone's bum loop, and people were so impressed they gave high fives and bald men celebrated by leaving, and then there was a tuft of hair that went something like this.... down, up, down, up, down, up ya, i think that's about it. MINUS THE GIANT SLAP ACTION! which you will probably want to view in video recorded FORRRARRRM(wmv) (that's not forearm that's form) alright that's it for now ladies and gentlefellows, anybody want to go camping next week? lots of free space, and no one to take it up! please? no? ok then, see you later love, jrarrasaur

Monday June 19th, 2006 - 4:29pm

So, a couple of awesome concerts this week. I went out with Tom and Aaron on Thursday, that was rad. The first of my original 11 fish died this morning:-( My sister gave me her old car last week, so I'm super excited about that and decorating it this week. I also got into a car accident which wasn't my fault but the cop said it was, so large hassle ahead for that deal. Ping pong table is back up again! yay, someone come over and play with me! later dood.

2005 REVIEW I went to corinne's in february before I flew off to minnesota. I stayed at my aunt/uncles house and visited with them and the cousins, 1 2. Then met up with em'lay, at the mall of america and she gave me a spoon cape. Emlay and amber met a homeless dude and we had fun, 2 3 4 before the low/pedro show. Then I flew home, wee eee yay i'm on a plane!. Then dad ate some salad. And I ate some cake for my 20th birthday. Rarn and Corinne got me flowers, and corinne and i went to an album leaf concert. jess barely ever visits home, so i spend alot of time in my room alone making silly things out of lego. finkie hangs out with me twice a year. That's less often than the birds do. Also less often than dan does. We often take sort of fancy pictures and we like fire. I like clouds and flowers, these are my sunflowers and pumpkins. I was given an old keyboard it's rad, like marshmallows times two! Although nothing beats some ultra rad lightning and sharpies on my car of awesome bands logos, ohya! We went camping, but dan played gameboy and his dad picked up little girls and i picked up little friends, 2, 3, 4. um, pool at dans. Did you know pumpkin flowers were so lovely? Unlike yams and the taste of roses. Family friends came over once and we had a few visits from some bluejays. Then I made some more friends and found a ballbearing in our broken sump pump. I got excited and wore my em'lay cape and screamed at my mom. Who sent me to new york to play dressup and then I came back and made a snowowl with my dad after our family had dinner on new yearsish, and I ended the year with a good nostril cleansing! hope you enjoyed the photostory of my year. cheers

So, time for a massive change. I've always been waiting for my real/anticipated life to start before I brought on all the changes in my life. I suppose that was a pretty bad choice, life is now, and now may be the only time I have, so change, now. The love of my life has called us done now, for various understandable reasons. I wasn't who I should've been, so whether it's for her in the end or someone else or even nobody, I need to make things right.
