today was the first......

I really hate admitting it, but I think today was the first time in a long time (if ever) that I went to church and had an entire service truely touch my heart. usually, I get into a couple praise and worship songs, get emotional whenever there is a service over redemption, Jesus dying for our sins, or forgiveness, and never really pay full attention to most of the other sermons (I have a really short attention span), then pray whole heartedly at the end. It's not because I feel like my just being there is going to get me to heaven,or that it is an obligation, or anything like that....I just that for some reason, I find it hard to truely worship at church. I know, It's wrong and weird, but true. I worship God and study his word home alot, and I love the Lord fully and am a true believer, but i just feel uncomfortable worshipping in most churches. There is just something about being there that henders me from fully putting my heart into it, but this sunday was different. I don't know if it was because something in me changed, or if maybe it was the 3 month semi-break I took from church to sort things out, or the fact 3 days earlier I had the luckiest/dumbest night of my life, but when I went this sunday, everything was different. Every one of the standard hymns I sang seemed to make sense now, I knew what it was to truely praise and worship him, the times of prayer were heartfelt and joyful. I went throughout the whole church service worshipping and praising, not just going through the motions. It is like all of this time my soul has been imprisoned and just let out at certain times, but is finally now free.

Types of people who are fun to people watch

Due to the misinterpretation (because of bad wording on my part) of my last post which was really about men in general and not just men at the bar, and due to the fact that due to high school-esque drama I will most likely be taking a hiatus from the bar scene, I have decided to make a list of the main people who are interesting to watch in general at any social scene, but especially at a bar, club or wal-mart

1. The dancing fool yes, we all have seen him....The 45 year old divorced man cutting some 80's style moves on the floor thinking he's the pimp while you're thinking that he must have had to take his cousin to his senior prom. The bad hair, bad moves, and bad smell all combine to create that unmistakable car wreck called "the one man electric slide">

2. The Heartbreakernot to be confused with the pimp (see #3) is that hot guy/ girl that every one wants, but no one can really have. I am actually close to a few of these and it is pretty interesting to see what people will do to get a chance with them and if one actually does, look out! There will be someone waiting to ruin it.

3. The Pimp this is pretty much the same guy as on my last list. He struts around, trying to appear manly and thinks he is so hot that it is funny....Literally!

4. The paranoid girlfriend How do you know when a woman is overly jealous? When she cusses out a woman for talking to her man AFTER finding out they are related!!! This category doesn't just go for girlfriends, it also goes for men, wives, and prospects of #2.

5. The Dirty old man If you ever smell old spice....RUN!!!!!!!!! You are most likely about to be caught by the DOM!!! The 50-95 year old man who is there only for the purpose of trying to get a 25 year old piece. He may seem nice at first...But before you know it his hand is in spots you didn't even know you had!

6. The fighting drunk/sudden pacifist this is the person (most the time a #4) who decides they are going to start a fight with someone, some how......Usually ending with the drunk running away scared because they realized they bit off more than they can chew.

7. The Drill sergeant mom Sometimes, I think she might have the right idea though!! This is the mother you see grocery shopping or in some other place, who has her children so trained, they don't dare fall out of formation. If they do, whoa buddy look out! They will get smoked. I actually saw one of these in action the other day at the store. Her oldest child stopped to look at a toy, and he got it! She made the other two hold onto the cart while she looked him straight in the eye...This is what happened:

mom: what were you doing!

boy: looking.

mom:do we look at the store? No! I don't think so. What do we do at the store?

boy: shop

mom:yes! Shop, not look! Now get behind your brother and sister and let's shop!

I am sure there are plenty more, and if you have one, let me know so I can add it on my list (as this is has kind of became a project of many) and I will add on as i think of it, but for now, i am heading to bed!

8. The shifty-eyed dad alot of times married to #7, this is the guy who is married and has 4 kids, but still likes to look at, and unfortunately comment on, younger unmarried women. Alot like the DOM, this dad is not afraid to let you know what he thinks.

Men are so confusing.....

Men constantly complain that women are the confusing ones...WRONG!!! Men are. after spending two straight weekends of QT at a local bar with a few of my friends, and dicussing man problems,I have noticed there are different levels and types of male created confusion. (and this isn't just guys at the bar either)

Example 1: The guy who waits four years after you get over him to finally ask you out. The problem? He has been married 3 times already, has 1-5 kids, and more one night stands than I have appendages.This guy also makes it sound like you are all that has been on his mind. If he has been sooooo interested all of these years, why didn't he ask you out before now? mmmhmmmm ya, i don't think so.

Example 2: The pimp. this isn't necessarily a ghetto pimp, or a thug, just the guy who feels he has to be over manly or touchy feely to get your attention. struts up to you like he is hot and thinks you should melt.I actually had one of these slow dance with me and start rubbing my arms and stuff on the floor. He proceded to follow me around the bar and creep me out to the point of hunting down my example 3.

Example 3: The "I don't know If I am really interested" guy. I gave this one guy my # and he called, but my phone died mid convo. no reply. I called him the next night to apologize but he didn't answer, so I left a message and gave up. He messages me later to tell me he still wants to do something so I give him my schedule. no reply. Then I run into him the next friday. I ignore him figuring he's not interested. so he walks up and starts talking to me, I talk to him, I ask him to save me from a stalker (see example 2) and all is cool. I get the last dance with him, tell him I'm interested, and if he's not its cool, get even more mixed vibes and haven't heard anything since.

Example 4: The old guy. This actually has to be one of the least confusing of the man scenarios. It never fails, 100% of the time, a woman will have atleast one man (sober or not) Hit on her persistantly who is atleast old enough to be her dad. There are 2 main things that make this one confusing. One is why on earth someone in her early twenties would regularly seek out a bald heavy man in his mid 40's with kids her age for reasons other than money. Number two is why they don't understand no. You tell the guy over and over "sorry, I'm not interested" and he takes it as "hey! grab my butt!!!!"

Example 5:The great guy with the nasty girlfriend. This can be any kind of nasty, from promiscuous, to abusive, to bad hygeine. I think everyone knows that guy who is sweet, hardworking, attractive, and committed to the worst excuse for a girlfriend/wife ever. this type really confuses me because if I wasn't happy with someone and I didn't have kids, I wouldn't be bending over backwards just so they could hurt me more. Thats something NO ONE deserves to go through.

See? with women, it's easier. There is either yes, no, or the maybe that means no...and you know when the maybe means no. So, my biggest piece of advice for any single men out there is just to be yourself and go for it! Tell a woman whats on your mind and don't keep her guessing!
