i don't understand my parents sometimes. i know that they love me... i know that they want the best for me... and i know that they often worry about me, and the decisions i make. but even with that knowledge, it still doesn't change the fact that sometimes they don't know how to "let go". they should be secure in knowing i'm in God's hands. they should be secure in knowing that they've raised me up right, and when an issue of importance comes up... i'll know how to deal with it in ways that will most hopefully not bring them shame. granted sometimes i may make some bad choices... but i'm human right? and God definitely teaches us through our mistakes, sins, and trials and tribulations. eh *shrug*. so that's my rant for today. haha! :D aside from that. i had a quite stupendous weekend. hung out with linda most of it. sunday was our 8 month anniversary. doode! its been like a long time! shoot yo. i like it. (: we did a lot of shopping... OMG... now i know why guys don't want to go shopping with their gf's. ok... the first hour and a half was alright. i think that's pretty good on my part, being a guy and all. but maaaaan, was the second hour and a half painful. :D but i enjoyed it thoroughly! *pause* i did! fine don't believe me. ;\ we also caught some rays at venice beach... had a little picnic, nappy time under the sun. very pleasant. mmmm. today, called in sick. been very very tired, so thought it would be good to rest up. slept until 10:30. did some devos... reflected on some things, examined some things on my heart. went to the gym and had a good workout. had korean bbq at lunch and saw a familiar face from UCSD! its always so cool to see people you knew back in college... and just to catch up. sheesh... she's engaged too. i guess next summer is gonna be another wedding bonanza. lucky girl, lucky fiancee. :-D did my roman's homework, and then proceeded to do a lot of cleaning. going out to dinner with some friends tonight! should be bomb! x-P oh yeah! remember my motorcycle accident? (CLICK ME) the other party's insurance finally settled with me! now i'm filthy rich! i'm gonna buy my new civic si! riiiiiiiiiiight... more like pay off my loans, and credit card bills, and car insurance, and rent, and and and... *grrr* xxx Friday, August 23, 2002 the ever popular 'faces of josh' have returned! clickity click away! :D xxx the weather here in los angeles has been so odd lately. it reminds me of norcal weather actually... *sniff* the norcal weather that i love and miss so much. ;\ its been cold in the mornings and then it usually warms up after noon. it has especially been great for sleep... i no longer wake up unsatsified. now, i am so utterly content in my warm comforter that i've been late to work many a numerous times this week. xP i like it. not the getting in to late work part... but the warm-comforter-satisfied part. :D nia, jonathan and the niecey are here this weekend as well! she is sooooo adorable! i got to visit her today during my lunch break. i will post up pictures once i get this roll of film developed! with that... have a great weekend! :) xxx Tuesday, August 20, 2002 i like it when my waterbottle frosts up after i refill it from the watercooler. i like it when my lips are completely moisturized by my trusty chapstick. i like when my aim goes: *magical sound* your buddy 'k--------a' is now online. i like the way my jeans sag just the right amount on my hips. i like it when people excitedly tell me things... i get excited too. i like having dinner with people i haven't seen in a while... then realizing i've missed them. i like microwave foods which are ready to satisfy my hunger in a mere 3 minutes. i like waking up in my sheets... wait... going to bed in them. heck... i just like my bedsheets. i like watching families... seeing how they interact, seeing how they love. i like the days after it rains... the smog and haze replaced, by blue skies resplendent with clouds. i like little kids that stand by the side of the road and make silly faces at you when you drive past. i like it when my brother shares things with me... things on his mind, part of his sandwich... anything. i like having a God that blesses me with so many things to like. :D xxx Thursday, August 15, 2002

xxx Tuesday, August 13, 2002 a little news to go with that jose canseco bit the other day! :D xxx Monday, August 12, 2002 [movie maraton] dude... i watched 3 movies yesterday. 2 of quality... 1 of not so quality. i saw john q., collateral damage, and spy game. now guess which ones were quality and which one was not. :) it was sort of nice to just veg... and take in all these storylines. watching supposed "people's lives" play out on a screen in front of me... helping me escape from thoughts of my own life. not that my life is so bad that it needs escaping... but its always nice to mentally "get away". :D [jose canseco] i wanted to write about this last week... but i either kept putting it off or it completely slipped my mind. anyways... linda's sister, swan, lives with and works for two doctors. one of them is an anethesiologist (sp?). i asked him how work was one day and he said that jose canseco came into his office. he got a nose job and some fat removed from his butt and put on his chest where he had a little dimple. HAHA! xp seems like mr. bash brother wants to get into acting or something. *shrug* (: [relationship] what is love?... is that something that even needs to be questioned? shouldn't it just be? its either there or its not right? is there an in-between? can you fall out of love? is love a choice? and if so... why do people choose not to love? questions questions running through this thing atop me head... ojbm xxx Friday, August 09, 2002 wow. i was reading some of my old posts and i wrote a grip back then! maybe it was cuz i had no one to talk to? or perhaps i was more "in tune" with myself? *shrug* iono. but yeah, i used to write all about my day, what i did, who i hung out with, my thoughts, my feelings... the whole nine yards. i liked reading what i wrote. it causes me to question... "why did i write that? is that really me?" haha. as i've written in the previous posts... things have been different. but a good different. lets just say i'm still finding the "balance in the force" of my life. (: yeah... i'm hanging out with a myriad of people... trying to get involved with the children's ministry at evergreen... still playing ball and working out at wooden... doing a bible study on romans... seeing linda a couple times a week... but through it all my focus is definitely more centered on God. i'm learning to surrender many of my thoughts and worries and things i hold on too tightly to Him. i'm trying to go about my relationship with linda with less expectations. those seem to just complicate things. but... its not that i don't have them... i simply try not to make a big deal about them. its a hard thing to set yourself aside... to lay your worries about the person you love at Jesus' feet. i love family. immediate family. extended family. God's family. biking family. whatever family! lately... just the thought of family has given me joy and warm bubblies inside. :D so much unconditional love, acceptance, support, security, comfort and joy comes from "family" - any and all concepts of it. i have been visiting the liu's quite frequently these past 2 weeks. the liu's consist of jimmy, josie, jubilee, and baby joseph. jimmy is my brother-in-law's brother-in-law. so my sister's husband is brother to jimmy's wife. haha - its not as complicated as it sounds. :-P its almost like a retreat away from everything whenever i go visit. i am able to just... be. to play with the kids. to laugh loud and be silly. its grrrreeeat! *tony the tiger index finger air jab* i look forward with great anticipation to the day i have my own. :) i met up with kimi, lil jo, albert, and samuel for dinner on wednesday. its always good to see and be with fellow old fogies! my... how much are lives have changed, and continue to change... (: ojbm lindie :) xxx Wednesday, August 07, 2002
