Micah's Xanga (2004-2006)

Well I'm sure you've all been waiting for another entry from me (eyes glued to the computer for like 4 or 5 days...just waiting....lol) but I'm sure you all figured that I've been pretty busy w/ school...yeah...prayer is always good! Keep it going!! Thanks a ton!!!!! But I have a few min....and a couple cool stories...or lack of them.... 1. My Fossil watch stopped at 2:40 a couple days ago. I kept looking down at it and didn't realize it was broken 'till I got home...I'm out of it! lol So I just sent that in to get the battery replaced, the link pins replaced, and the crystal cover replaced (from the scratches from WVA a few years ago w/ Madison and the gang playing "spoons" with watches)! 2. I found a 100 dollar bill on Friday at work...yeah that doesn't just happen everyday! First I find a diamond (a while back at work), now this! So I gave it to Lawrence (head supervisor of the warehouse) and he told me to keep quiet about it so he can figur

I do believe I haven't posted in a few days... So then - I can't remember much...which is why I have a journal in the 1st place! Today was good though - slept in, hung out w/ my dad - we bought a couple Bostich roofing nailers for a couple jobs that we'll be working on shortly for people. I went to a 5 hour long Romania meeting - the cookout afterwards was the best :) Um - I went shopping for a bit w/ my mom and dad at best buy - they got a tv for the basement - nothing too exciting. Um yesterday was ok - it was school - but I got through it - that's life I guess... yeah - wow I know I had a lot more going on in my head earlier today but what can ya do?! Sometimes if you really wanna see me and know about my life you gotta be there with me!! So why don't u just hang out w/ me sometime then eh?! :P oh it was a beautiful day out by the way! Micah (6:8) ps. i'm still waiting for Pillar promo...getting antsy here!

HI DE HO! So...rainy day - good thing I had a long sleeve shirt on! Hebrew went well, Geography was ok I guess. I  have lots of homework to do tonight though - it just never ends...bummer. Work was ok - I made the best of  it ;) I won free yogurt from the lid cover (woah - that's awesome Micah...yeah I know!) CSF was good. I stopped at Grandpa's on the way there to say hi, fix his printer, and hang out for a few min. Then I went to CSF. The music was good as always...as was the message. Community group we played a pretty fun game - we learned a lot about each other from that...don't remember the name of it though. Obviously Cheri's food was good tonight as well! God has also blessed me w/ many friends - and for that I am truly grateful! I have friends in NY that are even praying for me (love ya)! Well i'm off to do more work. God bless, Micah (6:8) (Later in the night).... So I discovered something quite interesting...I had this experiment going (or not) with this P

T-I-_E-R-D...yep..exactly...(i know it is)... So yeah - today was good - watched a video for Hebrew class - interesting video...math was...math - midterm Friday - I need lots of prayer! I need an 85 or better - or else I'll be weighing some options that I don't wanna weigh...geography was ok - interesting lecture... after class I went to my frat for a few min...chilled, talked w/ a couple guys, then left for work. I worked 9 hours today - it was a long day. I spent a lot of time shooting rubberbands at people though - I know...bad Micah - I guess people could tell I was tired there too - but yeah...it's all good! I got a lot done there in 9 hours. I got a lot organized I've been talking to Rachel a lot online tonight - some good conversations about stuff - good topic! Something other than washing machine sizes :) Um - hey it rained pretty bad on Sunday I think...yeah - it was pouring out! I was in Target getting stuff for my room when it just started suddenly - I walked

Hey guess WHAT?! oh...yeah...it was a B-E-autiful day out today! I wore a sweater today...yes...a real live (ok it wasn't alive...hehe) sweater today! It was green - dark green...yep...it's the only one I own - I found it while hanging up clothes in my new room! So yeah - that's cool... It was hard to wake up today - especially in my new room! I've had about 5 hours of sleep this weekend - 2 on Sat night after prom in Sartell, and 3 last night because I stayed awake to help Lydia and Ashley Squires w/ a project that was due the following day (today)...and then I took Ashley home. So yeah... I took Al to school today. I even got to school a little early! I had a quiz in Hebrew - all on future, past, and present tense...not fun...I hope I did well...don't feel like it though..oh well! I worked for 7 hours today (a record for Monday's), skipped my frat meeting, and went home because I've been so tired lately. Work was good though. I talked w/ Amber (IA Amber) f

It's been a day since I've written last - but lots has happened since then. Saturday was a busy day for me. I got up pretty early to go to college for class. It was my freshman seminar - only 7 people are in the class including myself. Well only one other guy showed up for class that morning. My prof. ordered pizza for us and we talked about optical fibers. It was pretty interesting I guess. After class I hung out at my frat for a few minutes. Then I ran some errands before prom. I went home and helped my dad a little bit w/ my room (almost done w/ it) and then took off for Sartell shortly after. Prom was awesome! I had a great time. I got there a little before 5pm. We took pictures at Angela's house then headed off to the grand march. After that we went to the civic center in St. Cloud for the dinner and dance. Both were fun! So much excitement. I met a lot of new people up there - it was pretty sweet. Ang kept me dancing pretty much the whole time. After prom was over we

Yeah another long day. I stayed home and just emailed my homework to my teachers. I didn't even have much time for that. My computer was running slow this morning. I went to work for a while - that wasn't too bad. After work I went home to pick my mom and siblings up and we met at Don Pablos where my dad was waiting to meet us. It's my mom's bday tomorrow so we had dinner together there as a family to celebrate it. I left a tad early to go to my frat - national initiation - which is awesome! It really is :) After initiation we had a party - nothing big - but it was a party - Jollie and I screwed in all the black lights...:) Um I gave Al a ride home from college tonight. He took me to Noodles and Co. for dinner. It was nice catching up on things w/ him. I got home - helped my dad stain and varnish the trimming for my room and laid it out to dry. Now I'm talking to my best bud Karl. I'm prayin' for ya man! He's quite a guy - he's exchequer (spelling?)

I know I know - it's been a couple days since I last posted. Well it's Thursday night - or super early Friday morning lol :) I'm so tired...it's not cool. I work way too much...sometimes I begin to think that working this much is not healthy for me...physically and even mentally. I need some time for school work right?! But I have to pay for college too! lol oh well! It's all in God's hands :P Oh hey! speaking of money...my parents are paying my taxes this year! They're also helping me w/ tuition! God is so great! He sure has good timing too!! I love my family. It's cool to know that they're behind me all the way and that they want me to succeed as much as I want to myself...even though half the time they don't even know what I'm doing lol! Um yeah - I had CSF Wed. night too. That was pretty good. My group is planning a trip to Duluth on a Sat. That should be fun! Today was good. School was alright - nothing big. I got a 91 on my Hebrew quiz.

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH....THIS IS AN INTERESTING JOURNAL ENTRY BECAUSE I"M BEING WEIRD FOR ONCE....(ok i'm always weird)... so yeah - hi! I didn't wanna wake up today (like everyday) but I made it to Hebrew on time. I even got up and wrote stuff on the board...and didn't have any mistakes ;) How cool is that?! Something else happened while I was driving to school but I completely forgot now...maybe it will come to me later. Math was ok. Enough said... Geography...GOSH...so I sit down and the girl next to me (forgot her name...sorry) said "so are you ready for the test?" I thought she was talking about the midterm on Thursday so I said "yeah...are you?" (not really ready for it but I didn't wanna sound unprepared) and she said "yeah...well I guess we'll find out in a few minutes"....that's when I realized that the midterm was TODAY...not THURSDAY!!!!!!!!! Yeah that was a weird feeling. I didn't even have my

Another super day! I woke up (not cool), went to school (not cool) but did ok on my Hebrew test (cool). I swear I was the only guy on campus again today with a shirt and tie on :) but that's ok!!!! After Hebrew I went to work (it was ok). I saw a police car pull over a WI license plated car on the highway...how sad. He picked him out of the whole bunch of cars going at the same speed...lol Work wasn't too bad. Being in a tie made some of the new temps think I was in charge again....silly people...not even the boss dresses up...it's a warehouse for crying out loud!!! lol :P so yeah...I was the only guy again all dressed up...one day I'll own the company...just because of my tie! lol I was there for about 6.5 hours before leaving for my frat meeting. Dinner at Sammies was good - like always. The meeting wasn't too shabby - though somewhat long. Afterwards I picked up Rachel and took her downtown to Panera where we hung out and talked for a while. It was pretty fun. Th

Happy "easter" everyone! He has risen!!!! Jesus is so amazing. I love Him so much My day went well. I got up early...for church...yeah I know - I normally go to college group an hour later. But it was good. The sermon was good and there was a lot of people there. Afterwards there was a small brunch thing w/ rolls and fruit shishcabobs (however u spell that)! I hung out w/ Karl for a while. Caleb was at his parents church today...6am service I think...crazy eh? So after church we went  home to change and got ready to go to my cousin's house in Medina. Jake and I tore it up on the drums and piano for a while 'till we had to walk out the door. He and I get pretty tight w/ the praise music :) It's pretty sweet. The relatives were fun to chill with. We had an easter egg hunt. I wasn't gonna do it but...yeah...I did...and won again...lol. The food was awesome. The company was awesome too! Oh and we did this other contest thing..."chubby bunny"...don't

I had another great day. It all started with me sleeping in about 12 hours...I know...it's about time I actually slept ! So that was very good. I woke up with the sound of Ariel (my 13 year old sister...I can't believe she's 13...weird...weird...) running around upstairs as loud as she can! I walked upstairs (I slept in my clothes) and she just looked at me and said "yep - there he is..." so i'm guessing she was trying to wake me up! Good thing I was in a great mood :P I took a shower and found new clothes and did some homework. My dad and I (but mostly Dad) carpeted my room today. It looks very nice. I'm excited to move in. I have a room that's almost done...minus trimming...:) Um I know I did a lot more today but some of it has already slipped my mind. Luke (4 years old) Chaika came over w/ Amber and he hung w/ me in my "room" for a while. I got out my old toy cars and that kept him busy for quite a while. He just chilled out on my bed for

I never shoulda let you go...I never shoulda let you slip..through my arms... That's a song by Haste the Day....thanks Karl. It's now one of my favorite songs (the middle part especially). My day was good. I slept in a little bit, took a long shower, then did homework for a while. Jake (my bro) and I hung out for a while here and we jammed on the piano/drums for about 30 min....that was fun. Later on I talked to Karl online ( www.skype.com ) and he told me about the Stentorian/Rust/Children 18:3 concert tonight...so me, him, and Beka went. It was a blast. I had a great time. I handed out a butt load of Pillar stickers too! I don't have anymore actually...and everyone I handed 'em to liked it and I told 'em to buy the new cd coming out soon! I wish I had more stuff to give away now!! lol So yeah - the concert was tight. The 1st 2 bands were ok....then Rust played. They have tight vocalists. Then Children 18:3 played. I like them as well...;)Then some other no nammer

hi! Do I sound like I've been getting a lot of no sleep lately?! (did that make sense...??)! hehe well if you don't include 2 hours of "nap" last night i'm going on 72 hours I think? yeah..3 days?! lol yeah...fun.. So today was pretty good! Hebrew was fun. We played some memory games and stuff w/ Hebrew and English words. It was a blast! It also made time go by so fast!! Math was ok...geography - my prof wasn't there again so my TA (Tom) led it again...good thing I had caffiene in me I think...I drew pictures...wrote a LOT, and yeah...lots of notes! That kept me going I think :) We talked about how boring IA is...that almost put me to sleep...just thinking about IA :) The only thing that makes that place not boring is Amber, Jessi, Ashley, and some other friends I have down there :) After geography I went to coffman to check email, etc. and just hang out 'till my freshman seminar about an hour later. When it got to be that time I went over to the building.

I thought of being creative tonight w/ my journal but I'm so tired (haven't slept in over 48 hours - and no naps either) that I don't think I can pull of any more creative stunts for a couple more days! lol (good idea though Ali)! School wasn't too shabby. Hebrew was fine. So was geography. Work was also ok. I didn't stay long because I had to get back to school for an e.c. class. Lawrence was nice today! After my class I went to CSF for a while and just hung out, got ready, etc. for tonight. I think CSF went pretty well. After Dave's music and Brad's message, I led a "short" (45 min) passover seder which I conjured up the night before w/ Stina's, Jenni's, and Cassie's help! Thanks guys! u rock! So that went well. We had enough food too!! Yeah and Cheri is an amazing cook obviously...her bars were awesome again tonight! Way to go. Ok I'm off to more homework....and chatting w/ Kaila and Lisa! God bless, Micah (6:8)

Another late night! (Tuesday) Today was another tight day! No Hebrew because of Passover! So I missed Math too...just recitation...I wasn't feeling the best this morning anyway..you know how it is sometimes... Geography was fine. I learned quite a bit and had some good chats w/ friends there. Um - nothing too much more about that I guess... Work wasn't too bad. I actually got bored around 9:45pm and left. There was nothing left to really do except keep shooting rubberbands and answering the phone for Zack... After work I went to the CSF center to help plan for tomorrow night. It was a last minute thing but I guess I'm moderating a mock "passover" tomorrow night...time to prepare I guess :P  Yeah... Prayers: Michael's mom - that God would make her better (high blood sugar...resulting in eye loss and kidney failure), grades for me, um...tomorrow night's CSF (Wed. night), my family coming home Wed. afternoon from Washington D.C....there's always more but

Well before it gets too late and I get too sleepy - here goes about my wonderful day!! So my day was great (obviously)...Hebrew was fun. No Quiz! Instead we talked about Passover :) I asked a couple questions as to the symbolism of some of the drinks, etc. and my teacher didn't know the answer (I already knew but didn't wanna overwhelm anyone either at the time). So it was interesting to see how even Jews don't know everything about their own traditions...weird huh? So yeah - work was good....Lawrence had me runnign around all day doing various jobs. I had to be at my aunt's house (and Grandma's) by 6pm for dinner (I love those guys) and I was already running late! As soon as I finished shipping out the last thing Lawrence wanted me to do - I ran out the door before he turned around to find me again lol :P Dinner was AWESOME! I love homemade food. Sue and Grandma are the best cooks! We had hotdish, rolls, salad, cake, etc....it was sweet! We talked a lot about life

I just realized that I haven't been on top of my journal for a few days! My weekend has been really awesome!! Friday: School went well from what I remember. I made it to Hebrew, learned some new stuff...no quiz on Monday!! I love Passover :P Geography was good - Molly is now in my small group as well for our next project - so now I'm with Dan, Andrew, and Molly. I couldn't ask for a better team! After school I went to work for about 5 hours. Nothing too exciting there. I got my check which was nice! Praise God for that!! As soon as work was over I went up north to meet my friend bros in a small town about an hour and a half away. On my way there I stopped at Angie's house and hung out for a bit. I got really lost on my way there--it was crazy!! But I made it... After meeing Angie's mom and her cute dogs and cat...and after catching up on things with her I took off for my frat party. I made it there around 10-11ish? I was about a mile away when I saw Chaz driving the

You know - I forgot to talk about some of the most exciting things that happened yesterday!! Ok we'll talk about that stuff first :P So yeah at work - Jill showed me her ring...and showed me where her diamond used to be...it fell out of the setting that day. It wasn't a big diamond either so the probability of finding it wasn't good....:( Well a co-worker asked her if she put her hands in any boxes (thinking it might have fallen out...so I looked in the couple boxes that she was in and didn't see anything. For some reason I decided to move the skid that it was sitting on...and saw a tiny thing on the ground...it was the diamond upside down!!!! It was awesome I feel so good! Ok - also that day coming home at night there were tons of cops all waiting around to nail someone...all of them had their headlights off...the funny thing was that the night before in the same spot I called 911 (when was the last time you did that?!) and reported a reckless driver...lol!! I never do
