scored shot with his head

Ever listened an American run the commentary for a football match? There's nothing ordinarily wrong with the commentary but it really can be painful hearing the man making a living. I don't know why I'm mentioning it now though. I guess this makes me not much different from espn's American football (soccer) commentators.

This week I learnt a painful lesson - closure is not the easiest thing to come by (I don't get why americans want it so bad either). By Sunday I was through with the site (from last week post) but it's still not hosted. Then the other language app I talked about too was finished as far as core functionality goes but that's not good enough for me closure wise. I didn't feel like getting up last Friday. But I had a light-bulb moment as I lay on my bed - it's not how you start its how you finish. I've got to finish these things. Seat down, see what I've done wrong and do what I've done right more.

Now school starts in 2 weeks. It actually feels like 4 months of torture is about to start. How else would you describe 11 credit hours plus 40 hour work weeks. I think I'll call a meeting the week before school starts @ home. The message would be simple - you are all on your own, its swim or sink time for all of us. If you need help tell me and I'll pray for you. Any more than that and you are asking for too much!

It's raining cats and dogs in ATL. I love it when it rains. You can walk in what would otherwise be a crowded street when it rains and you'd have the whole street to yourself. You should know better than driving in town when it rains though - humans lost that gene way before Ford's ford appeared on the scene. I used to, as a kid, enjoy listening to the rain pour down on the roof and watching the raindrops run down the window panes. I must have been a really lonely kid. I love smelling the water in the air just before the rain after a long summer break. I can't forget the smell of the grass immediately the rains - it's almost like you are smelling life.

It's amazing that the rains can wreak so much havoc, though. It's almost like there's been a flood every where on earth this summer (or rain season if you are from sub-Sahara). From Pakistan to Niger to the U.S. There's something obviously wrong. I think something is coming. No, I take that back, somethings going on - it's here already. It's just so easy to ignore the obvious because we've accepted it as normal. Isn't there some text in the bible about knowing winter is around when we see the leaves dropping? It's true a 2nd coming has been on the cards for like forever but so was the 1st coming. Something is happening, right before our eyes. I'm not sure where to place it but it behooves me to get my act together. You know, date that girl I always wanted to (talk about being vain), sing/write that song that's never going to make it to the Grammies, live that dream, serve God. The time is now!
