i just wanna use your love tonightttt

SO.

over the past couple days i've come to a couple realizations:

1. everyone loves optimus prime.

AND

2. i'm going to marry megan fox.


things are going pretty well here. EXCEPT I'M GETTING PAID CRAP FROM HOLLISTER. i got my first paycheck yesterday. it was 63 dollars. and it'l be 2 weeks before i get paid again. i really don't like hollister. i don't like their smell, their lack of lights, their clothes, their policies, or their pay. hollister, i just don't like you at all.

on a good note, the US shut out spain 2-0 and they're playing in the finals of the confederations cup tomorrow afternoon against brazil!

blah.

Gyuhh

i haven't written on here in a while? i've been having a great time though. the more time i spend here, the more i grow to love miami. but at the same time, i love my family and friends more and more. i look forward to seeing you all in about 5 weeks! if i haven't been calling and keeping up with you, then i'm sorry- call me and we'll have the best conversation ever. i promise.

but yeah, its been more of the same growing and learning stuff. since we got here i've become so much bolder in my evangelism. me and this guy named glenn patented our own method: the glen and wes method. its legit.

another thing being down here has caused me to appreciate all over again are the people i have met in my previous summer escapades (escapades just sounds really good right now). i seriously love all of you so much. you have always kept me in check and been some of the best friends i could have asked for.

time for a some prayer: pray that i would get some more hours! i'm only getting 10 right now and i need to be making that bank. also, pray that i would continue to grow and be challenged.

music has been so good. dave matthews. jack's mannequin. owl city. the strokes.
on that note: listen to "caves" by jack's mannequin.

you're so last summer.

oh whatup.

so everything is pretty fantastic. i'm really starting to enjoy myself and i'm definitely starting to look at religious institutions in a more positive light. the past few days i haven't been doing too much. my friend nick and i have had to go into hollister a couple of times to get ish taken care of. its such a sketch company- but i'm looking forward to finally starting next week so i can make bank.

matt and kim. taking back sunday. tegan and sara. kings of leon. radiohead.

one of the following things is untrue:
1. we went to the beach yesterday and someone got stung by a jellyfish.
2. i got a tat
3. i hung out with macaulay culkin
4. i was born as an old man and i am going through life backwards. me and daisy are meeting in the middle and while she grows old i am turning into a baby.

change:

change doesn't feel good. change can be something that is really uncomfortable, even when its for our best.

since i've been here in miami i've been experiencing this first hand. realizing that your outlook on life, your views on christianity and God, and your lifestyle is wrong is not something that is fun. i've been fighting this back and forth. between realizing that its necessary and good for me and being uncomfortable and stretched, i've slowly been changing.

before church this morning, i wrote "change" on my hand because i knew it was something that i wanted to talk about. church was about how when God is developing us, we are stretched, we're uncomfortable, and it hurts. it was really appropriate.

federer won! i'm glad he finally got back on his game. wet.

rilo kiley. coldplay. jack's mannequin. weezer.

that's what i'm talking about.

i have a job! yes, its true. me and my friend nick officially have jobs at hollister. i have zero hollister clothes so i had to buy a shirt for the interview. so that is a huge blessing. the only down-side is that we won't start working until the week after next.

the weather here has been intense. i saw a funnel cloud yesterday right next to our hotel and it was forming little water spouts in the bay. it was crazy. i'm watching home alone 2 right now. soooo legit.

smashing pumpkins. tegan and sara. the postal service.

some say with age that our purpose comes clear

its thursday. this week has been more of the same 'ol same 'ol. hopefully i have a couple of things looking up as far as jobs go. i very well may wind up working at polo again- which is probably one of the last places i would have imagined on the way down here. i've been trying to stay active and get my fitness on/ball as much as i can. the j has been off? I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN THE BEACH. which is pretty ridiculous, given that miami beach/ south beach are only about 5 minutes away. i've been doing a lot of learning since i've been down here. i hate that i had to go a few hundred miles away and make myself vulnerable in order to do some self-reflection, but i guess that's what it takes sometimes. NBA FINALS START TONIGHT!

4 o'clock update: group interview at hollister tomorrow! hopefully its in the bag.


coldplay. death cab. taking back sunday. jon foreman.


i see the opposite happening here.
