New Bike!

Well, my new Yamaha YZF-R6S arrived today, earlier than expected!! Also unexpected, I was able to get the blue that I wanted... and I really can't even begin to describe just how much fun it is... I'll post more pictures when it is light outside...

Words are not enough....

There come times in our lives where there are just no words to express the well of emotion and grief inside of us... Times of tragedy that the tongue just can not tell the derision of the circumstances. During these times it becomes easy to ask "why did God allow this?!" and humanly speaking there is no answer suitable... There are no words of comfort that can take away the pain, or even begin to repeal it. During these times we can only believe that God does have His purpose, and He is in fact in control, and though we may not see the reasoning of events in the present, from our own perspective, it is there.

So how do we even begin to pick up the shattered pieces???

Where is there even a starting point????

I don't know...

The friends closest to me have suffered great loss in their family, and though I am just a friend, and not a part of the family, this hits me with overwhelming weight. I like to comfort, yet at a time like this, the comfort I have to offer seems minuscule and meaningless in light of what has happened... I like to help, yet at the moment I feel completely alone and helpless... I share the weight of this burden with them, with all of my heart, and it has left me heart-broken...

So what now... what is there that I can even say...

I have wept for them, and mourned for their loss that I even feel more vividly than I can say. But most of all, I have prayed... Prayed with a fervency that I have not in a long time, prayed with a passion, that God would be there, when the world seems to be crumbling around, that He alone would bring strength and carry them through this fire... I have prayed, and will continue to pray.

All of this has made me reflect on a few things as well... forgive with ease, don't hold bitterness, show you care, make things right with all of those around you, live life with loyalty and honesty, and love with all of your heart, because you never know what tomorrow... the next hour... or even the very next moment may bring...

To all of my friends, and my family, I say now that I truly love you with all of my heart.

Finally...

I finally updated my picasa with some pictures... It's been a long time, hope you enjoy!!!

It's Been a While Since I Last.....

Not been much around here to report, but of late there has been some interesting activity, so I thought I'd put up a couple pictures of it. These are the pictures of the preliminary equipment necessary, once I actually get the Yamaha R6S, I'll post pictures of that too...

SUPERBOWL XVII GOES TO THE GIANTS!!!

And here is the most amazing Superbowl cake ever created... Very nice Chris and Kim!!!!

Mac slayer... =)

Yes... you read the title right, Mac slayer... that's exactly what my new computer is. I would gladly challenge any Mac to do anything in Photoshop or any other program to see which goes faster, why would I do that, because I know that no Mac stands a chance to even come close to the computer I just finished building! =)

So, after several weeks of ordering, receiving, and putting together, my new PC is finally setup! As you can tell by this post, which is the first one not done on my laptop, I am already enjoying it! For those of you who may have a tech nerd side of them like I do, I'll gladly give you the specs. Intel e8400 3GHz w/6mb L2 Core 2 Duo, Asus P5K-E, 4GB PC-6400, 2 WD 320GB 16MB Cache in RAID-0, Ultra 750w X2 Modular power supply, with a eVGA nVidia GeForce 8800 GT Superclocked, running Windows Vista Business 64-bit.

So, anyway, enough boring technical babel, all one needs to know is it's fun!! Here are a few pics of this latest project.
