New blog pt 2

2005-08-24T21:39:00.000-07:00

www.friedriches.net/blog shall be my blog.

Not really what I wanted, but... whatever.

I'm too clueless/busy to care right now.

Thanks Dave for the help!!!

Peace out, blogger.

For now.

Thoughtful update until DAVID HELPS WITH WORDPRESS ::coughcough::

Yeah, so I'm figuring that hundreds of thousands of my blogging fans are anxiously awaiting my newest post.

Here it is.

Quiet, cheering masses, for you will not be able to hear my idiocy over the sounds of your own voices! Be quiet, or may the stupidity of my words which stand like mighty sandcastles created by master craftsmen (toddlers and a bucket) be washed away by the tides of your voices!

Why won't they listen? I sit here and talk and talk and no one cares to hear?

Oh. I know what to do.

::hands God the internal microphone:: Hit that Jerry 5:14, Lord.

Been a long time coming, this entry has...

2005-08-18T23:37:00.000-07:00

So. I'm officially in the dorms, officially a college student, and officially scared to death. Oh well, what does it matter?

I really don't want to work to hard on anything involving this as I want to get my WordPress on friedriches.net up and running, but I will be posting some pics tomorrow night. IDK, maybe tomorrow morning.

It's been a very hectic week, sorry for the lack of any sort of posts, relevant or mindless drivel alike.

Plan on some big-time stuff in the coming weeks, because after that, I'll be (hopefully) in STUDY MODE.

Oh yeah. My "new" xbox rox (eww what a gay play on words) thanks to wes and my boy drew. Who knew ppl from AP could be so helpful? :p

Anyways, like I said- more later. As it is, I'm TURRRED.

RECALL NOTICE:

The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a srious defect in the primary and central component of the heart. This is duue to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reprodiction of the same defect in all subsequent units. This defect has been technically termed, "Subsequential Internal Non-morality," or more commonly known as SIN, as it is primarily expressed.

Some other symptoms of SIN:
1. Loss of direction
2. Foul vocal emissions
3. Amnesia of origin
4. Lack of peace and joy
5. Selfish or violent behavior
6. Depression of confusion in the mental component
7. Fearfulness
8. Idolatry
9. Rebellion

The Manufacturer, who is neither liable or at fault for this defect, is providing factory authorized repair and service free of charge to correct this SIN defect.

The Repair Technician has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cvost of these repairs. There is no additional fee required. The number to call in all areas is P-R-A-Y-E-R. Once connected, please upload your burden of SIN through the REPENTANCE procedure.

Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician, Jesus, into the heart component. No matter how big or small the SIN defect is, Jesus will replace it with:
1. Love
2. Joy
3. Peace
4. Patience
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self-control

Please see the operating manual, the BIBLE (Believers Instructions Before Leaving Earth), for further details on the use of these fixes.

WARNING: Continuing to operate the human being unit without correction voids any manufacturer warranties, exposing the unit to dangers and problems too numerous to list and will result in the human unit being permanantly impounded. For free emergency service, call on Repair Technician.

DANGER: The human being units not repsonding to this recall action will havbe to be scrapped in the furnace. The SIN defect will not be permitted to enter Heaven so as to prevent contamination of that facility.

Thanks for your attention!
GOD, The Manufacturer
JESUS, the Repair Technician

Please assist others where possible by notifying others of this important recall notice.

friedriches.net is a mess....

HELP!

Three posts in a day....

2005-08-09T00:42:00.000-07:00

I just purchased www.friedriches.net though Globat.

So, this is still just my temporary home.

I'm looking to make friedriches.net more of a total-richified experience, including photos, a blog, links, and all the other stuff on here, just in a more personalized format. I think I already have a kinda-logo, but it's still in the works. Right now I'm working with teal and blue, but who knows where it may end up?

Lord Jesus, help me to stay focused on You. That's all I need right now- focus on the prize, the long-term gratification.

STOP BEING SO IMPULSIVE, ME!

AGHH. I had to post again after this.

2005-08-08T21:47:00.000-07:00

I was just surfing TV, and happened across this episode of VH1's "The Fabulous Life." I could only watch for just a few minutes, it was so disgusting. Monetary figures, names, AGHH! It made me want to scream. All these gossip columnists coming on talking about "religious, spiritual" stars.

Why do Americans want to watch this garbage? Are they really that unhappy with their lives that their lives are enriched by watching these people spend $200,000 "going on a pilgrimage to the Scientology's cruise ship." Paying to dance to high-energy music, feeling like that's getting you closer to God? People, these people are not happy. They just have money and are spending it desparately trying to find the happiness that is ironically so close in reach.

NEWS FLASH TO THE WORLD: Nothing you can do or spend will get you closer to Heaven. It says so in the Bible. You are imperfect. Jesus, by sacrificing himself on the cross, conpleting the ultimate sacrifice, did the only thing that could be done. He now stands between you and God for all of your many imperfections. Just so you don't think I'm preaching from a high pedastal- He and I both know that I need it just as much as the next guy.

Aghh, that show just makes me so sad that people do that kind of thing. $200,000? I'm sure that could run a homeless shelter for a few years. Isn't that fufilling enough?

The word "religion" is being tossed around like it actually means something good. This is exactly why that word is the foundation of all that is wrong in faith in the world today. Religion is why there are conflicts all around the world. Religion is why America is so screwed up, with such confusion and searching...

There are rules in faith, yes. However, that doesn't mean that you should follow the rules set before you by humanity like a blind sheep. Read religious texts- decide what you agree with, what speaks to you. Ask questions. If Christianity doesn't seem right to you, I can only feel sadness because I believe that it is the one Way. But nothing that I could say to you will convince you otherwise. All I can do, and other Christians, is live a Christ-like life before you, and hope to lead by that example.

If only that was the way it really is.

EDIT: I was lucky enough to go back just now and hear this:

"And as super-holy stars know, the bigger your cross, the bigger you are to God."
"Kanye West had his Jesus face pendant released for the masses. The rich masses."

Semi-Movie Review - Dukes of Hazzard

2005-08-08T20:24:00.000-07:00

I saw Dukes of Hazzard tonight, despite the reviews. I went in for one reason, and one reason alone.

NO, not for Jessica Simpson, you freak.

I went to see LSU and Louisiana in general. However, the joke, it appears, is on me, I am happy to say that I came out extremely suprised with what I came out thinking.

I was ready for weak acting, lame jokes, and over-the-top and poorly coordinated driving scenes/stunts. The acting was, aside from Johnny Noxville (sp?), was horrible. Jessica Simpson- stick to commercials and MTV, cause that was horrible. The rest, contrary to my expectations, was actually good. After the first 15 minutes, that is. Those sucked.

The jokes were actually funny, especially the fight stuff. There were actually subtle jokes, those unspoken kind, that were laugh-out-loud funny. The driving scenes were insane, some of the best I've seen in a while. The editing of the driving sequences especially impressed me. I read an article in last months's Car and Driver that told of a new device that was used in the shooting of the driving scenes that replaces the front of the car. I think that added a whole lot to the scenes in that they were shot in ways not normally seen in a movie.

And for those males- wow. WOW. Bouncing eyes, gentlemen.

Oh, and its REALLY cool to see Louisiana all over the screen. That's what made the movie for me. My dad and I were laughing the whole time they were at LSU, and everyone in the theater was like, "What's wrong with you two?" I was like, stupid Colorodans.

Go see this. Now. (If you're over... I'd say, 18.)

After-action report - 2005/8/7

2005-08-07T21:41:00.000-07:00

Today, after Dad and I watched a couple of movies on cable in the early AM, we headed towards some state park up in the foothills of the Spanish Peaks. We took the 600cc Grizzly ATV up an ATV trail to the top, and then hiked about half of the remaining distance towards the summit before deciding to head back down cause of rainclouds.

I carved and A, a cross, and "05" in a dead tree trunk on the way back down (there are pictures below).

Tonight, I learned how to make stew, starting with the rue. After that, who knows? Probably a movie. I told Dad I'd go with him into the field tomorrow, but ahh, I'm such a bum.

I'll post later on how amazing God's creation- the mountains- is. But now it's dinner time.

Ah-ha! Snow! ...I was desparate.
