Furlough day - that sucks
but I can Netflix it all day
Started bringing shuttle in from the parking structure I was set up at. Not bad in the morning. I have to leave 15 minutes early after work to get the shuttle back and for the little ride we have to take through downtown to get back to the parking structure that is just down the hill. I wonder how long it would take to walk it? I’m pressed for time after work. I have to make it on time to...
what shall i, what shall i, what shall i do
Listening to that on the way to work this mornnig. I enjoy old school more than the stuff now. Sometimes I ask myself (new stuff), “what the heck is this shit?” Oh well, to each his own.
The worst feeling is when someone makes you feel...
i really need to stop playing myself thinking it...
whererealitygrows:
and you really need to stop giving me false hope. playing with emotions is never a good thing.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I QUIT!
Again, c'mon now
I thought we were beyond that shit.
So many things coming up and I have to save money. I don’t want anyone to know my exact plans. Seems like everything I talk about gets messed up. So I’m keeping it zipped.
SHE - Machete
New here
So in the lunchroom I hear the boss and some lady talking about needing extra help. The boss starts to tell the lady about situation being transferred here and all. So since overtime was brought up I put it out there to the boss I’m available for Saturdays. She says, “thats good to know”. I hope she really does allow it. A co-worker said to make good with her and she’ll...
A Talk With God
You : Our Father in heaven...
God : Yes ? I'm here...
You : Please, don't interrupt me, I'm praying !
God : But you called my name !
You : Did I ? I didn't called anyone. I'm praying... Our Father in heaven...
God : See ? You did it again !
You : Did what ?
God : You called my name ! You said : Our Father in heaven. I'm here. How can I help you ?
You : But I didn't mean it. It is my prayer. I pray the Lord's Prayer every day, I am praying so well. It is like a duty.
God : But, how can you say "Our Father'', without remembering that all are your brothers, how can you say "in heaven'', if you don't know that heaven is peace, that heaven is love for everybody.
You : Yeah, I haven't thought about that.
God : But you may continue your prayer
You : Hallowed be Your name...
God : Wait ! What do you mean with that ?
You : I mean... I wanna mean, is... I don't know what it means ! How can I know ? Is a part of the prayer, just it !
God : Hallowed means worthy of respect, Holy, Sacred.
You : Now I understand ! But I never thought about the mean of this word hallowed. 'Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven...'
God : Seriously ?
You : Yes ! Why not ?
God : And what are you doing to make this happen ?
You : What I do ? Nothing ! It's part of the prayer, besides I'd like if You had control of everything that happens on heaven and earth.
God : Do I've control over you ?
You : Well, I go to the church...
God : I didn't ask it ! How about the way you treat your brothers, the way you spend your money, the time you give to television, and the little time you give to me ?
You : Please ! Stop criticizing me !
God : Sorry. I thought you were asking me for my will to be done. If this is gonna happen, has to be with those who prays, but that accepts my will, the cold, the sun, the rain, the nature, the community.
You : Ok, You're right. If think I never accept Your will, because I complain about everything : if you send rain, I ask for sun, if you send the sun, I complain about the heat, if you send cold, I continue to complain, if I'm sick, I ask for health, but I don't take care of it...
God : Good, recognize all these things. Lets work together You and I, but look, we are gonna win and lose. I'm liking this your new attitude.
You : Look Lord, I need to finish it now. This prayer is longer that it used to be. I'll continue : 'Give us today our daily bread...'
God : Stop there! You ask for bread stuff? Not by bread alone does man live, but also my word. When I ask for bread, remember those who do not know bread. You can ask me whatever you want, since I see as a loving Father! I am interested in the next part of this prayer. Continue!
You : 'And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors...'
God : And your brother with contempt ?
You : See it ? Look Lord, he already criticized me so many times, and it wasn't true what he said. Now I can't forgive him. I need revenge.
God : But, and your prayer ? What means your prayer ? You called me, I'm here, I want you to be transformed, I like you being honest. But isn't good to carry the weight of anger inside you, right?
You : I think I'd feel better If I revenge.
God : No, you wouldn't ! You're gonna feel worse. Revenge isn't sweet as it seems. Think about the sadness it would cause me, think about your sadness now. I can change everything for you.
You : Can you ? But how ?
God : Forgive your brother, I'll forgive you and I'll give you rest.
You : But Lord, I can't forgive him !
God : So, don't ask for my forgiveness too.
You : Once again You're right. But I just wanna revenge, I want peace with You. Ok, ok I forgive all of them, but help me Lord. Show me the right way for me and my enemies
God : What you are asking for its so wonderful, I'm so happy with you. And you, how are you feeling ?
You : Good, very good ! To say the truth, is the first time I feel like this. It's so good to talk with God.
God : We didn't finish the prayer yet. Continue...
You : 'And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one...'
God : Fine, I'll do just that, but don't put in situations where you can be tempted.
You : What do You mean with that ?
God : Don't walk with people who take part in the dirty things, gossip. Abandon evil, the hate. All this take you to the wrong way. Don't use all this as an emergency exit !
You : I can't understand !
God : Of course you can. You already did this to me so many times. You make a mistake, and after you run after me asking my help.
You : I'm ashamed, forgive me Lord !
God : Of course I forgive you ! I always forgive who forgives too. But don't forget, when you call me, remember of our conversation, think about every word you say ! Finish your prayer.
You : Finish ? Oh, yes... 'Amen !'
God : What means amen ?
You : I don't know. Is the finish of the prayer.
God : You may only say amen when you accept saying everything I want, when you agree with my will, when you follow my laws, because 'amen' means 'so be it', I agree with all I prayed.
You : Lord, thank You for teaching this prayer and thank You for making me understand.
God : I love all my children, and I love more those who want to be free of all sins. I bless you, and stay with my peace.
You : Thank you Lord. I'm very happy to know that You are my friend.
Took my son to daycare. Found out the kids return tomorrow. He was happy. He made me laugh.
We had a mandatory shutdown at work so I had to take a week off. First time ever in my 9 years did I have to take the time off. It was nice to be off but then I like to use my vacation when I want to. I was relocated to this office right before break. I heard when we come back it’ll be real busy. I don’t like the location because its going into downtown and its LAUSD headquarters....
