i had a crappy day at work yesterday. everything was alrite until 9:00 hit. this moron named sam, who works at GAP, always comes to our store and asks for free cookies. this guy is so consistent in coming all the time that it makes me sick. so yesterday, i was closing with the easiest and most lenient manager. once our store closed, the guy comes to the store and tries to talk to me. i walk to the other side and do some work there. he follows. i go back. he follows. "hey, do you have any really old cookies that i can have?" i was really tired and frustrated that i didn't want to deal with his crap. so i gave him some of the less popular cookies and told him to never come here again. as soon as i give them to him, the manager barks at me cause she saw the whole thing. throughout the rest of the night, she lectured me on how i could get fired b/c of the other managers, the video camera, other people who got caught, telephone calls, lack of responsibility, blah blah blah. it sucks dude. supposedly, the district manager comes in every morning and reviews the previous day's work by watching the recorded video. she's the strict lady, monina. the same lady who was THIS CLOSE to firing me. ugh, i don't know. i'm a bit anxious to go to work on monday. once again, i did another stupid thing that could jeopardize my employment. man, i was just so tired, busy, and frustrated. i didn't even think about making sure the manager was looking or not. perhaps God was trying to show me that He was displeased with the fact that i hook people up. afterall, it IS wrong right? at the same time, i'm so pissed at that guy sam. man, so annoying.

on the way home, i was listening to a sermon by John MacArthur on the lordship of Christ. i was surprised to learn that many people just accept Christ as their Savior and not Lord. making him Lord takes place some time later in your "christian life." many churches and evangelical movements out there discourage evangelism that involves the discussion of lordship. they only encourage believing "the facts." i was very unhappy about this, thinking about all the corruption that goes on out there. some seminary writers even believe that evangelizing that Christ is Lord is a heresy! it's really sad. the way our God is portrayed has been so jacked up. i mean, they have good intentions i'm sure. however, they focus too much on saving the person, rather than being faithful to God's word. remember guys, our job is to evangelize FAITHFULLY. God takes care of the rest.

to conclude that day's discouraging events, i saw Lilo & Stitch and Shallow Hal on my computer. i really enjoyed both movies, probably b/c i was expecting some low quality. to my surprise, i really enjoyed Lilo & Stitch. i can see why some people may not have liked it, but i thought it was a decent Disney movie. there were a few funny parts and Stitch was a pretty cool looking alien. in fact, i kinda want a small toy of him now. i could add it to my collection of Psyduck and the Senior Banquet piggy bank. ah, and we come to Shallow Hal. another masterpiece by the Farrelly Brothers (thanks tiff). i think this was the only movie that was perfect for Jack Black. he did a pretty good job with the part they gave him-fat, immature, and nice loser. i actually laughed more than 10 times in this movie! well, i guess this would have to include chuckles but i consider that alot. now that i think about it, i REALLY like some Farrelly Brothers movies like dumb & dumber and kingpin. their other ones were alrite. anyways, do yourself a favor and watch these movies.

today, i bought another chess set after church. i know what you're thinking-ANOTHER ONE?! so right now in total, i would have 4 different chess sets. well, the reason why i bought this one was b/c it looked JUST like PJ's and it was on sale for 10 bucks! haha. it looks so cool when the black chess set and this new one are sitting side by side. they are so ready to be played by people. ahahahhahaah. i crack myself up. and besides, i'm going to be taking one to college, so simon can still have a nice one to play with while i'm gone. 10 bucks yo. what an investment!

prayer request: that i would be more disciplined in work and have a stronger appreciation for the jobs that i have right now. (i am so bitter dude).

Thought of the Day: I think i'm supposed to go to EM from now on.
