So then, I have to wait until I'm 27 years, four months, and 15 days, before I can celebrate my ten thousandth day on earth. To be exact, It will be February the Twenty-first, Two Thousand Twelve.

I was a thousand days old when I was 2 years, 8 months, and 26 days old. The day was July the Second, Nineteen-Eighty Seven. I don't remember it all that well; perhaps I wasn't interested.

I'm also well over half a billion seconds old. I'll be a billion seconds on June 14, 2014, when I'm 28 years, 8 months, and 8 days old.

Dave's 10-year Converse anniversary is the DAY before I turn ten thousand! who hoo! That's either coincidence or something else. Most likely. Dave is 5568 today. I'm sure you cared.

So today Dave & I, and Tom & Nick went up to that one field over the hill. Nick got his sock wet over the FIRST CREEK, so he had to walk it off. It sure is a huff and puffer up that hill, especially the whole way to the top.

Nick kept up pretty well. There's a lot of view spots & lookout points up there. You can see mountainy things and other stuff. Then we walked home, and I'm NOT SURE how long we were gone, but we loafed around & ook the long way, so it's ok.

I was listening to Newsboys Thrive today, and DownHere just now. Hold on... There, I put in Newsboys Not Ashamed. Dave got me a drink of water while I changed the CD; I dropped DownHere & it bounced a few times on edge before it landed face up (YES!) I love it when that happens.

My glasses have huge gouges in them.

I was sitting there, playing Zelda, beating the 4th level with the dragon-heads, which is a raft away from the mainland on the central lake. So Tom's watching me the whole time, sort of like we all do, cause that crappy stupid game is so dang addicting. At least I'm not watching TV. Television has got to be the biggest, most addicting COMPLETE WASTE of time EVER. Sure there are funny things, but they are a whole half hour of drolling, wublish stuff that amounts in the end, to SQUAT.

I'm done with my water.

There're Power Rangers on this comforter. They're the originals: Billy as the Blue Triceratops Ranger, Jason as the Red T-Rex Ranger, Trini as the Yellow Sabertooth Ranger, Zach as the Black Mammoth Ranger, and Kimberly as the Pink Pteradactyl Ranger. They're all in these fake kickboxing / feng shui poses, it's pretty funny &)

Speaking of the Book of Mormon... That book is subtle, let me tell you. A few things stand out in my mind, though. They say that to be saved, you must be 'Born Again," or get God's "atoning power," or wash yourself in Christ's blood... etc. Nowhere though is the emphasis on faith, and Christ's substitution, and our utter depravity. The characters are always encouraged to Keep the Law of Jehovah. Oh, I might add, the Jews are not the ancestors of the Native Americans.

MUSIC: Dear Shame (Newsboys, Not Ashamed)

Oh, here it comes now, the power of God! There it is, just that supernatural power!
Are you born again? Oh, you are? Good.

The Newsboys are pretty cool. Once I get their Step Up To The Microphone album, and once I get an MP3 burner/player, I'll make an alphabetical thing of all their songs.
