"You Can Be Anything That You Want To Be"

Hey everyone. Just got back from church and a meeting at Round Table Pizza.

My school is having some students go to E3 Expo again. http://www.e3expo.com/ I went last year but this year I'm not that motivated to go. Having to register, then finding rides, blah blah blah. Not that it's much of a hassle but I just don't feel like putting that much effort into something I'm not 100% interested in. I'm more like at 57%.

That reminds me of something that's been on my mind lately. You know the saying "You can be anything that you want to be"? I was thinking if there was any truth in that. I think it's true IF your heart is fully dedicated and God is on your side. I know thats a very Christian way of putting it but that's because I AM a Christian! Makes sense right? So first thing: If your heart is fully in it. If you are willing to go through fire and flames to reach a goal, I think you can do it if your willing to make sacrifices. Like Rudy. If you haven't seen Rudy you really should! It's a good movie. He wanted so bad to play at least one game of football for Notre Dame. He was small and had a small learning disability so it seemed really slim for him to even get into Notre Dame. But he kept pushing forward even after being rejected so many times. He didn't let anything stop him! If your THAT motivated, you can reach your goal. Secondly, if God is on your side. The Bible says that we can "do everything through Christ, who gives us the strength." Key word is 'through Christ'. If God can do anything he wants, however he wants to do it, he can fulfill your dream. But that is, if your dream is what God wants for your life. If your dream in life is to rob casinos, chances are that's not something God put on your heart. That's something that your flesh and your own mind wants to do. But if you have a strong desire to be a famous singer, start a business, or run for president, first thing you should do before you get the ball rolling is ask God if HE'S the one that put it on your heart to be a professional baseball player, or start a band, or become a famous writer. If you know that God put that desire in your heart and you decide that you will stop at nothing to reach that goal, then you can be anything you want to be.

Now what if God puts a desire in your heart and you try to do it and you really stink at it? Like Nacho Libre. He really felt that the Lord put it in his heart to wrestle, but he couldn't even fight a couple guys on the street. He got paid to wrestle in matches but he would always lose and he would always spend his losing money on 'nice boots and stretchy pants'. Once Nacho decided to pray to the Lord and ask him why he put it on his heart to wrestle but made him such a stinky warrior, he realized that the Lord wanted him to fight for the orphans, who were also on Nacho's heart. He decided to wrestle for the orphans instead of himself, spending the money on nice clothes and stretchy pants. He decided that if he won, he would spend the winning money for the orphans to go on field trips and things like that. Once he realized that he needed to fight for a noble cause instead of for himself, he won a match against the greatest fighter in mexico: Ramses!

Anyways, I'm kinda going off now but I guess my main point is; if you feel that God has put something on your heart, be in prayer and ask the Lord what he wants you to do and ask the Lord for strength, because He can help you overcome the obstacles. If you have anything you want to add or comment on, please do so. Thanks and have a nice week!

Portals!

I woke up this morning with ease! Surprise surprise! I went to bed last night at about 1am, my alarm was set for 6:15am and I actually woke up at 6:00am. I beat my alarm! I wasn't even in morning zombie mode! What's up with that?

I did some cool stuff in class today with 3DS MAX. I'll post them up in my photos. We're putting together a booklet for whatever topic we choose but apparently it has to be something that doesn't exists. For instance, I was going to do it on Football Hooligans, but football hooligans really exist. So I decided to do it on portals used for transportation from one point to another. It's coming along pretty good except, what the heck do I write about portals? Any suggestions? My idea is to write it like it's a new form of transportation that involves technology. You type in a portal address for a city or whatever and the portal opens up and you walk through and your there! Something like that. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about so I'll just move on.

Actually I'll just end it here because nothing else really happened today and nothing else is really on my mind. Bye guys!

Ireland Meeting 2Night

Tonight me and my mom are going to a Team Ireland meeting for the missionary trip to Ireland. There is going to be a meeting every Friday at the Lewis's house. Mrs. Lewis is the one leading the team. She's the head honcho. (or is it honcha?) I like going to the Lewis' house. They make REALLY good coffee!

Dad is going to his friend from work's house to have a musician's party. At 10:00 were all gonna meet at home and watch 24! I think we got 2 more discs to go! We get 24 in the mail from Netflix.

This is gonna be hard. It's gonna be a late night and I have to get up early for class tomorrow. I hate having a Saturday morning class!

Busy Busy Busy

Well, me and the folks talked to the Dean of my school and it turns out he's gonna talk to the right guy for us. He didn't guarantee that we would be able to slide and not pay more money for the extra classes but he said he will try to talk to his boss. So it's still a 50/50 shot.

I had to go over to the school to fill out some W4 stuff. I filled it out kinda late so I wont get paid for the two days that I worked there. Dang. At least it got taken care of now.

I'm excited because I ordered an Adobe Suite online. I should be getting it in the mail soon! It's got Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, InDesign, and lots of other fun stuff. I'd like to have Adobe Premiere, which is a video editing software, but I can get that later. My dad actually has the cd somewhere, but he lost it and the program itself is in his crashed computer. Bummer.
Well, until next time!

Today Was...Not Good

Hey everyone! Guess what I got today! That's right, FREE CANDY! At my school, when students renew their FASFA they give out free candy! Isn't that nice! I really needed it since I'm going through so much stuff with them. I AM going to take an extra quarter even though I was supposed to graduate in March. I need an extra quarter because I don't have enough credits to graduate but that's not my fault, it's the school's. Because a few quarters ago they messed up and put me in two classes that were on the same day at the same time and those classes weren't offered on other days. So they just dropped the class. Now I don't have enough credits to graduate in March, which is when the prices for classes go up. So what, am I supposed to pay extra for classes that I was supposed to take earlier? Heck no! So me and the folks are gonna meet with the Dean tomorrow morning to see if we can get a refund since it's only fair.

On top of that, I never filled out my paper work with HR at work (which I admit is my fault) but that means I probably wont get paid for the two days that I worked there :) Isn't that great? Today is just fantastic! So I got a lot of stuff to do tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes down. Peace out!

Cyrus Does Not Suck

Hey everyone! A few days ago I discovered this guy named DJ Earworm. He made a mashup of the Top 25 Hits of 2009, according to Billboard. It's really cool! Check it out> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNzrwh2Z2hQ

Well someone made a comment that said something like "It's really cool but the Miley Cyrus part ruins it!" Okay, what the heck? They're just saying that because of the image she has. Obviously he or she likes the style of music if he or she likes the mashup. It's mostly all pop music. So they're saying "Oh ya I like Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga, The Fray, All American Rejects, and all those bands but I hate Miley Cyrus!" WHY? Because she's from Disney Chanel? Because you think she's a slut or her music sucks? Obviously her music does not suck if she made it on the top 25 Billboard Hits! You can't say you like artists that play a certain style and then say an artist that plays the same style sucks! Now I don't like country music but I wouldn't say that Garth Brooks sucks! He's a great country singer but because I don't like country music does that mean Garth Brooks sucks? No! You can't judge someone because you don't like their style. And you CAN'T judge someone's music because the artist is weird. Like Kanye West, he's a jerk but does that mean his music sucks? If I like Kanye West's music am I going to not listen to him because he's a jerk? No! Who cares if he's a jerk! Anyway, I hate people bagging on Miley Cyrus. She didn't DO anything, she's just an artist. If you don't' like her music than don't listen but don't say she sucks! The Jonas Brother on the other hand, they really do suck. Seriously, learn how to write music, play music, and PLEASE learn how to sing! Or break up!

Anyways, I just wanted to share that with you.

Have a nice day!

56ers Rule!

One month till my birthday! I'm almost at the age where I dont care anymore. It's like "oh my birthday is coming up! Whoop-dee-doo!" Anyways, I got to work today from 1-5. After school shift. It was actually pretty fun. Basically it's just babysitting. The fifth and sixth graders are so cool! I like them! They're fun! I watched over them in the computer lab and watched them play this online networking game thingy. It was really cool and it looked fun so I joined them. They were showing me how to do and stuff, it was really fun! They even got me into starting a blog on Blogger.com. So ya you gotta check that out! http://alexolsennavarro.blogspot.com/

So ya...gooby-gop! I've been trying to work on missionary-trip-to-ireland stuff. Writing my support letter, talking to my pastor and stuff. Tell you more about it when the times comes.

Well that's all for now. Catch you guys later!

I'm @ Work (1/25/2010)

I'm at work, in the computer lab with the 56ers. (5th and 6th graders) I see these kids have a blog on blogger and I though "The heck? Why dont I have one?" So here I am. I've been keeping a blog on myspace and facebook for a few days.
