A New Friend

So this weekend has been rather wonderful. On Saturday I went to an antique market where everyone who collects stuff from grandma's attic comes and sells stuff to people who wish they're grandma had a cool attic. There's stuff from wars and countries past and irons, cameras, accordions, money, boxes, typewriters, postcards, family photos, you name it. It's all old too, really old. One of the many wonderful parts of living in the middle of such a fascinating place like Europe is the history. I got two coins from two different countries from two different times and both coins were used in that same town. Craziness.
We were having a great time looking at all the art and nic-naks when what should I see on a coat hanger but a poor old mandolin. I asked the owner to see it and despite the obvious signs of age it seemed to be in pretty good repair. It only had two sad strings on it but I thought it was worth a shot. I walked away with my brand new antique mandolin and only 15 less Euro. ($20) I was very satisfied to say the least.
Today I got a much needed hair cut that cost about the same as the mandolin and while we were at the mall I got some strings for the mandolin and now we're in business! As far as I can deduct by the scribble on the inside of my mandolin, today is it's 39 and a half "birth" day, sort of exciting to have gotten in yesterday.
Anyways, I hope everyone else enjoyed their weekends as much as I do, do share! Also, any good names for my new friend?
Take care everyone and know that God does bless.
In Christ our Savior.

The 21st of September 2010

Today is the 21st. I've sort of always liked the number 21, 7 and 3 are some cool numbers so 21 is just satisfying. This is the last day it will ever be the 21st of September and this morning I gave myself 30 more minutes to waste in bed and I think it was well worth it. There's all sorts of things I need to do and so little time before time is gone. I didn't mean for this to be abstract, it just that I was thinking about what you choose to do in your day and what you need to do for the next step in life and what you need to do to enjoy life and what you need to do to retain life all has it's place but you need to find a balance. There's also the worry factor that sneaks in and you can worry about anything if you care for it. I realize I care a lot about my future simple because I worry about it. This should not be, my future is in good hands.
Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys their final 21st day of September 2010. I have things that need happening so fare thee well!

Hello, welcome to my blog. I'm here to post my writing, to inform you of many things and to hopefully change the world. Please feel free to read what's been written after this, I hope it's good. The thing is, a lot of what I write is on paper so it's a rare moment that I sit down at the computer and copy my scribbles into pixels. But! hopefully I'll have some stuff up before too long. Also, I plan to be apart of another site starting soon that hopefully will be used by God for His glory.
In closing, take care out there. =]
