I'm gonna do it!

I'm gonna do it!
After talking to my wife this past weekend, I finally decided to get myself an iPhone. Being a very timid person with my money, I usually can't make the decision to just buck down and get something. I tend to tell myself, "Is it really worth it?" "I think I can make due till it drops down in price." or "What else could I get with that kind of money." But I'm gonna do it, I've pumped myself up, watched the 25 minute tutorial and I want one bad. Now I'm not sure exactly when I can get it. I have the cash, but not sure the best time for me to make a special trip for it, school and all :). But I know for sure that I want it! My little Motorola Razor has about had it.

I know there is going to be a certain lifestyle change for me if I get the iPhone...I'll need to take a little better care of my phones. The last two phones I have had were pretty much deemed unusable again and just thrown away at the stores :). Before I had my Razor I had a little Verizon phone that had a chewed off antennae, the battery was taped on by electrical tape, and the front screen was almost not readable due to the scratches from dropping it. Now my Razor is not as bad, but bad. Scraped up body, the battery looks terrible due to me dropping my phone one day while walking and the battery popped out, I stepped on it and almost broke my neck sliding on it :). When I flip the phone out it gets stuck sometimes halfway and I almost have to break it for it to fold back. And not to mention the terrible signal I get on the phone.

So it's about time, I had a super nice phone. Something that I can enjoy for a good chunk of time. I've usually gone the cheap route, only owning 3 phones since I was 16, but now I'm gonna drop the change and wish for the best. Shanna, http://www.shannamarie.com/, a good friend of mine, totally recommends it. I trust her, and I'll take her word of advice. I'm pumped for the 2 megapixel camera, I bet that looks nice. I'd recommend checking out the tutorial on the Apple webpage. Be sure you have a good connection, it's a long video :). Apple iPhone...here I come!

Skillet

Hey guys I've been in a rock mood these days, been jamming to the likes of P.O.D. and Skillet. This song I find pretty catchy but all in all I just wanted to plug Skillet out there for anyone that might not have heard of them. Enjoy!

This is a vid someone created on YouTube, not anyone I know, but mostly shots of Skillet. It was this or a vid tribute to Naruto, Anime, and I chose this one instead :).

Brad calls...

Ok, to lay some background I have a friend I graduated high school with who I was pretty close to. Hung out many nights, went to church together, pretty much was attached at the hip with two other friends of ours. Well as soon as high school was gone, so was my friend Brad. High school seems to do that to people. He's been in and out of contact for the past 5 years and randomly calls me here and there. About 5 months ago Brad calls me and says hey man I'm in Germany! I was like wha...haha...what! Brad joined the military. I was very happy for him, something he wanted to do for a long time and he got in.

Which leads me to today, I come into to work around 1 and I sit down to eat my lunch and get ready to work. Ring...ring...hm it's a local number...Hello? Hey man it's Brad!

To make a long story short, Brad just needed someone to talk to. He was going through some issues with God and he really just needed someone to listen to what he had to say. After about a 40 minute conversation about Brad's life in Germany and how God keeps showing up here and there, I ended the conversation with him trying my best to encourage him and tell him to keep on seeking God and see what He wants him to do.

I made this post, for whomever wants to, to ask you guys to pray for Brad. He's been a seeker from the get go, a guy who wants to experience everything there is to do and then learn from there. He is currently in Germany and is really been hit with some life-changing thoughts. Should he give up the party life in Germany for a godly life? He's not sure what he needs to do, of course I want to say, "Go for God man!" But I know he needs to decide on what he has to do next. So pray for him, pray that God gives him wisdom and keeps on getting his attention. Brad is one to put things off and put things off, pray that he doesn't on this and that he takes a responsible step in the right direction.

WoW Collage I threw together one night while I was bored. The top toon is one of my friends I met on WoW, this is his toon Brynne, Gnome Warlock, and the bottom and middle is my Draenei Shaman, Yurn, who is currently sitting at level 68. Man he's Yurning to be 70 ha...ha...ok sorry :).

I'm taking a break from World of Warcraft right now, but I hope to be back in the mix by the time I graduate and get a new home :). Till then I'll be bloggin/schoolin/working away!

Graphic Design I & More

Had to create some logos and Company Identification for my first project in Advanced Graphic Design I. We had our critique yesterday and I posted my final designs on my Flickr account. Check em out if you want!

Also I got the job of editing a photo for our Senior VP of Marketing today. He is due to have a baby girl in October so the Marketing Team asked me to throw a picture together of him holding a baby. Here are the images I used and the result below.
