Dallas and Oh so much More!
Yes, I am writing in this pink like color today. . . if you have a problem with it. . . keep it to yourself!
This past Wednesday I skipped my last class and went with my friend to Dallas Texas until this last Saturday morning. It was a fun trip, but at the same time I have more to think about in someways afterwards. Funny how stuff like that works. Well, we drove most of the latter half of Wednesday and let me just say "NO MORE MOORE OKLAHOMA!" My friend who drove was going crazy in Oklahoma and it was almost scary. I on the other hand could not stop laughing at everything, including a sign that said "Liquid Assets" like meaning water and coffee bar thing or something. I definately looked at that sign and was thinking something else and was cracking up going down the interstate! We finally arrived at my friend's apartment about 1 that night and I was very out of it! I am sure I was quit entertaining for everyone involved!
Okay the main part of the trip was spent seeing some of Dallas, eating at good restaurants and catching up with friends. I did manage to go to four different Starbucks in two days, 3 in an 8 hour period. I got to see another friend that I know from church back at home and we went to high school together but not at the same high school. Well, we saw her at her apartment and then the two of us ended up studying/talking at Starbucks for a couple of hours. That was good, and I got work done. (I was even invited to Florida in the process!) If she happens to be reading this right now. . . . I am so going, haha! Then after her and I decided where we going to dinner after three decision changes we met some people for a great dinner. Except my friend ended up talking to her friend that the rest of us didn't know at all the whole time, I am not saying anything, but is that exactly mannerly? Then my friend and I met another couple in this shopping district area and rounded them up to go see a movie with us later. We saw an Indie Movie called, Everything is Illuminated. I really liked it and would like to see it again it was kind of deep. . . it took place in Ukraine and this boy from the US went back there to try to find the woman that saved his grandfather from the Nazis. Its a lot more to it than this. That was a good day hanging out and all that jazz!
One thing that hasn't really came out of this trip, but still kind of did in a weird way really makes me wonder. A lot of my friends I would say in the past year have been telling me this. For example, lets say I might like a girl and then someone will say that I think knows me pretty well, "Ty, usually the case that the girl is too good for the guy, but you are too good for her." huh? Granted yes I want someone thats going to blow me away, but when you hear people tell you this a lot lately its like, well then "Where is this girl that is good enough for me?" I mean I don't want to settle on just ordinary Susy or go "well I guess Susy is as good as I'll get, so why not?" but come on! I am not that good. . . that I am so high and mighty, its like people are putting me on an untouchable pedistal. I know they aren't, they truly care for me and want the best for me, but its been making me think.
Now here is my little plug about a country that is very dear to my heart and it is Guatemala! Guatemala is an essence a disaster zone in many areas right now. . . . probably a thousand people have died and complete villages are gone! Mainly Mayan villages which is even sadder. I have been there and have friends from Guatemala! What I am outraged about is the lack of media coverage for this country because of whatver reasons, which I am sure the media has its reasons! My friend's wife told me last night that thank God none of her family members have died but their crops are destroyed. The next concern is that they might not have food this next year! (Can you imagine for a second, you sitting in your apartment/home right now reading this, that your whole life is been shaken, your whole country and now you might not have food next year?) She is also pregnent right now and is expecting in two weeks and they have their own stress right now about issues arising from this. So, if you are reading this right now and care at all say a little Prayer up for the people and beautiful country of Guatemala!
