Wow.

It's not really original.

Hey, check it out, I came up with an original post title....?

BE WARNED. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME, LEAVE NOW. 

And this is the post where everyone says "What is this kid on about?" I'm sure everyone has had a post where they just go completely off the hook and talk random nonsense about how the seals that live off the coast of Russia are dying due to nail polish remover. Which is, incidentally, very serious stuff. And who even knows where Azerbaijan is? I don't. I might look it up though.

This new blog format chupathingy reminds me of pumpkins. I wonder how long it will stay. I'm sitting here thinking, 'Wow, I'm wasting my time and everyone else's too." But actually, odds are you only get on to look at this blog if you have nothing better to do than waste your time. So, feel free to kick back, relax, and enjoy the ride. I can guarantee that this may or may not be time well spent. 

Whoops. Brain clot. Now I can't think of anything humorous to say that might make you all giggle, laugh, or holler out loud. Sorry for the disappointment folks. I think it's hilarious that.

Sorry, I lost my train of thought. I forget what was supposed to be hilarious, but for the sake of finishing the thought, I suppose that elephants dancing around in hula skirts waving around empty chapstick tubes would be pretty funny. It all depends on your mood, I guess. In which case, my current mood could be defined as not necessarily bored, but sorta wanting to do something interesting and exciting, but since I'm feeling rather tired, I will just sit on the couch and type silly things into a cyberspace blog.

In the immortal words of Michael J. Caboose- "Spiky kittens. That....makes....me....really....mad!!!!"

Wow. Tune in next time. I promise I won't forget too.

Have fun deciphering that one kids.

Alright guys, I love you all, peace.

Revenge.

Alright, so a bunch of you probably know (or maybe you don't) that several weeks ago my sister's fiance shrink-wrapped my car. Yes, shrink-wrapped. He did it in the middle of the night with one of his friends, and in the morning when I got up to go to work at 5:45, it was completely frozen. And once I got the shrink wrap off, there was ice underneath that needed to be scraped off.

Such a nice guy.

So last night, I had one of my friends over to spend the night. And it just so happened that my sister's fiance was at my house too. So me and my friend got an awesome idea. While my sister and the soon-to-be-victim were sitting out on my back porch next to a fire (this was at about 10:30 at night), me and my accomplice set to work.

We toilet papered his ENTIRE car, so it looked like a christmas present. And then we sprayed water over everything, so it froze. 

I was so exuberantly exhilarated last night. Especially whenever it came time for my soon-to-be-brother-in-law to leave. Revenge. All I can say was, it was priceless. He stepped out the front porch, saw his car, and stopped. He looked at me, then back at the car. Then he looked at me again and gave me a little nod, almost as if acknowledging that we were even.

And it was a pain to get off. I, of course, being the fair and generous person I am, did not help him at all, but sat back and watched. 

Wow. Sometimes I can be evil.

(Again, I so need a camera, I would've taken pics of the car)

And then I stayed up most the night and drank two huge cups of coffee this morning. And I feel great. And Mickey's message was great too. It really encouraged me in the area of evangelism. 

Oh, and my eye is  like totally fine now. So if any of you guys prayed, thanks.

Have a good week yall.

~Mark

It's been decided.

I need a camera. Seriously.

Most of the picture's I've posted have been from off the internet or something... I guess I should start saving now..

Anyway, I haven't really had much to post about lately. The last time I posted was Wednesday, so I'll do a rundown of my past three days, and maybe that will equal a decent post. So here goes.

Thursday- School, school, and lots more school. Wow what a fun day.

Friday- Worked in the morning until 1, then school. And then that night my right eye freaked out and started watering and wouldn't stop. Yeah that wasn't fun.

Today- When I woke up, my right eye was sealed shut. Seriously, I was like, "What..?" Then whenever I cleared it out it was all puffy and red. And that wasn't fun. I went to work at 11, and got sent home early at 5. And here I am sitting, with a puffy eye and nothing to do. I'm feeling a bit down, so prayer would be great. Thanks yall.

Oh yeah, and I got a haircut. Back to the old spiky-haired Mark.

Cyall tomorrow.

A good day and some lyrics.

And a lame title. At least as far as my expectations for my own titles go. The title should've been, 'What A Fantabulous Day, And Now It's Time For Lyric Time With Mark!"

But that's a bit obnoxious, isn't it?

Anyway, so back on topic. It was a really good day for me. Busy, but good. I worked an 8 hour shift, finished all my school, and just got back from spanish class a little bit ago. And therefore I am happy.

And when I was driving back from Levine campus in Matthews, I wrote a song in my head, and just typed it up a couple of minutes ago. And here it is.

(Be aware that this is the product of about 15 minutes worth of thinking and inspiration, so it might not be the most polished song ever written. I might edit and improve it as time goes on, but you get the basic idea)

Verse 1:

I know a man who told me, “Don’t waste your life.”

He said, “You’ve got so many years, so son please use them right.”

I said, “Father, can you tell me how to make the right choices?”

He said, “Son, all you’ve got to do is put your faith in God.”

 

Chorus:

Then I said, “Father, I want to make you proud.

I want to live my life the way you’d want me to,

The way that I’ve been taught.

Father, I know sometimes it seems

I don’t put enough effort into living

But please believe me when I say,

I want to make you proud.”

 

Verse 2:

When I’m older, and maybe have a son of my own

I’ll never forget the man that guided my young life

And when I have the chance to talk to my son

I will simply tell him, “Don’t waste your life.”

 

Bridge:

Father, I won’t waste my life

Father, I’ll make the right choices

Father, I’ll put my trust in Christ

Father, I’ll make you proud

Have a good night yall.

I have nothing more to say except....

We did it.

Ladies and gentlemen of the world, the time has come...

....To cross your fingers! If at all possible, try to cross all four of your fingers, and then link your thumbs together. This figure, which I created (or at least I think so, I've never seen anyone else do it), is known as The-Uber-Finger-Crossage-Sign, and almost guarantees that whatever you are wishing for will come true.

DISCLAIMER: There is a sizable chance that everything I just said is complete nonsense and will do nothing but ruin your hopes and dreams. To minimize a complete sense of failure, please do not actually attempt this sign at home. And if you do attempt it and you succeed, but nothing happens, please refrain from hurling bricks through the windows of Mark's house and spray painting his car pink. He would greatly appreciate it. If you do this sign, and it does actually make something come true by complete luck and chance, feel free to build a statue of Mark in any easily accessible and visible area. Again, use this sign with extreme caution, and have a friend on hand to dial 911 if need be. Also please consult with your parents before attempting. Always wear safety goggles. You have been warned. Go now, in peace....

I almost forgot to tell you what we are wishing for, though of course it should be obvious.....

SNOW!!! There is supposed to be (from the last I heard) up to 5 inches of snow tonight. Which would be awesome if it stayed until tomorrow. So yeah, fingers crossed guys.

I think I might have taken to much Advil.... because I feel awesome.

Haha today at Chick-Fil-A we blew up a gallon of water. Awesome. 

And I can't think of anything else to say. Except that this post is over.
