I suppose it goes without saying that it's been too long since I've written something. I guess I've just been lacking motivation, and whenever I come across something I want to blog about, I always forget I want to blog about it until it's too late and I've forgotten.
Whatever the case may be, I'll just spill part of my brain on here to fill some space.
In the next couple weeks, I'll be having a meeting with an MCAD counselor, continuing to look for a job, and (God-willing) be getting my company's website up. Lot to do, and I'm pretty excited. The job thing is still weighing really heavy on me, though, so if you all could be praying, I'd really appreciate it. :)
Lately I've been preaching to myself a lot about trusting in God. It's something I do from day-to-day, but it's not perfectly easy sometimes. There's a LOT in my future/near future that's unknown. I know God has a plan for my ultimate good, but I'm sort of the planner/Mr. Fix-It who likes to have everything figured out. Not the most awesome combination. I have to remind myself daily that my view of the world is not like His. They say hindsight is 20-20. I can look back and see ways He's worked that I deeply appriciate now, but they were hard - and I did not appriciate them at the time. God's got a 20-20 view of past, present, and future (and probably other dimentions we have no idea even exist), so it goes without saying that His plan is better than anything I could cook up.
Advice? Remind yourself of that fact daily. It's easy to get caught up in worry (a struggle I have, personally) and doubt, but He will see His work though to completion. There are situations where we can get frustrated or upset ("God, what are you doing??"), but don't let those define your interaction with Him. It's not wrong to have questions for God, but it is wrong to question His judgment. Trust in the Creator who made the world, gave it life, sustains it, and loves it. It sounds like a good idea to me. :)
'Night, all. Leave some comments so I know people actually read this. :P
Nate
Lately, it has been my habit to lay awake late at night letting my mind run on overhaul. It kills any hope of early bird rising, but it's also a time where my mind can work in the quiet. I've had a lot of extremely weighty issues I've been grappling with. I usually jot them down so I don't forget it.
On a seemingly unrelated note, I've realized I'm been really bad about updating my blog.
The solution?
I'm now going to be jotting down my late night thoughts here for your consideration/commendation/comdemnation. I know I run the risk of actually exposing how much of a freak I am to the general public, but I take consolation in the fact that all the freakiness is Jesus Freakiness.
I've always been intrigued by things extra-terrestrial. Here, by extra-terrestrial, I don't mean I'm obbsessed with aliens or sci-fi novels. I mean I'm intrigued by things that are not of this earth. Specifically, what it was like before the creation of the world, and what the end of the world and beyond will be like. Revelation is one of my favorites books of the Bible, if that gives you any idea of what I mean.
People often wonder what hell is like. Is it dark? - Like a giant, floating, black void of pain? Or rather, is it like the commercially popular picture of an underground, stalactited, flaming pit?
I myself have reached the conclusion that it is complete separation from God. The Holy Spirit, His very presence, everything. That probably first strikes you as blasphemous. God is omnipresent. There is no place that God isn't.
I absolutely agree with God's omnipresence. I am in no way saying that there are places He can't control. I do wonder, however, if there is a place that He has purposefully removed Himself from.
To the unbeliver, what is it they want? Ultimately, they do not want God. Hell is giving them what they want - no God. I find it interesting to read about The Void (in the first couple verses of Genisis where God's spirit hovered over the Void - also referred to as waters or depths). I wonder if the Void was a place devoid (Ah ha) of God's presence, and He filled it with land, light, and life as He filled it with Himself.
While that was a little off topic, I brought up The Void to give you a mental picture of what I think hell is. It is worse to be alive and without God than to be dead.
And we will be alive. When we die, we get new bodies whether we go to heaven or hell. A friend of mine raised the objection that a human soul can not exist without God. It would literally cease to exsist. Again, this is all my musing and wondering - I wonder what the implications of a new body would be. Are the new bodies actual self-sustaining, eternal bodies? This would seem to be Biblical. The Bible says we will be constantly rejoicing and worshiping God in heaven - because we want to. We don't get reprogrammed to be robotic worshipers in heaven. We are very much free (free indeed!) and what we want to do with that freedom is love our amazing God.
So if those in hell have self-sustaining bodies - then that, my friends, is true torment. Living - being very much alive - completely without God. I believe one would be able to look back on his life and see all the times that God gave him a chance. All the times where the evidence was clear. All the times that he spit in God's face. And he was wrong, and it is too late.
That, my dear readers, is true hell.
Praise God for His amazing, undeserving, and matchless love and grace! I am so grateful that I will not have to face hell - whatever it might be like. I have a better place to look forward to, and I am - to put it lightly - stoked.
Challenge for the night: If you too feel this way, I would encourage you to make it plain in your life. I am also growing in this. We have a better place. This earth is nothing compared to our futures. As that is the case, we should live our lives solely for the One who we'll be with forever. Whatever we can do, whoever we can witness to - it's all living future-minded. If people think we're freaks, it's sweet, 'cause we want to be different. If they hate us and kill us, then we have the last, gloriously happy laugh, because we are in heaven. Praise God.

'Night all.
This is a project I've been working on with a friend for Desiring God. It's currently on the front page, and I heard something about DG wanting to distribute it to catholic churches around the nation because of Obama's recent address. I'm actually not even 100% happy with it, just because we had to leave out several of our favorite ideas due to time restraints. It gets the point across, though. That's the important part.
So, as I mentioned in my previous post, my grandpa had a bad stroke a couple weeks ago. I've basically spent the time between then and now at the hospital, trying to do homework, running errands, seeing family members, getting back home for two days to get class stuff done, and making sure my mom remembered to eat and sleep. :P It was an insane two weeks in Kansas.
My grandpa passed away Tuesday night. His last breath couldn't have been sweeter. He was surrounded by family who were singing worship songs, and he opened one eye to scan the room, finally landing on my grandmother. He squeezed her hand (you will never find two bigger lovebirds than those two... even at 86), and breathed his last. The visitation and funeral were very sweet and honoring. The theme was how much of a difference he had made in other's lives, and "He's now in a better place... And we're jealous now!" haha...
So, needless to say, that's dominated my last two weeks.
On a school note, I've finished all but one class, and that final is on Friday. I graduate in 10 days, and I just keep getting more and more pumped for that.
I'm really getting interested in an illustration major, and I'm continuing to look at MCAD quite seriously.
The weather is GORGEOUS. I can't get enough of it.
I've become very upset with complacency as of late. It seems like the entire younger generation is just bogged down in self-worth, petty high school and college drama, and stupid frivilous things. And the worst part is, they don't care. They're fine with it! They don't actually know anything else.
Life pledge: Wake up youth to their own situation. Get all that passion and potential directed in a way that makes a difference.
Make no mistake, I'm guilty of this at times, too. We all are. It just saddens me to see all my peers lives be consumed with such "important" nothing. Absolutely nothing of worth. This has got to change. We're going to be the driving generation behind how the nation works in a few years, and we'd better get ready and shape up before that gets here.
[End rant]
Glasses came a few days ago. Feels way better reading and at the computer now.
My camera is/has/will be out like 24/7 from now on. Yes, yes, yes, Spring!
Hope you all are doing well. I want prayer requests in the comments. Love ya!

So, for those of you who don't know, my grandpa had a stroke on Thursday morning (or Wednesday night, we're not sure). My mom and I basically threw clothes in a bag and left in the car for Kansas. Got here late Thursday night, and we've basically been flying by the seat of our pants ever since. At this point, he seems to be somewhat aware of his surroundings, but he can't really do anything. No talking, swallowing, motor skills, he can't move the right side of his body at all, and can't communicate. We're not really sure what's going to happen. The stroke was massive, and I don't think anyone's expecting more than 3 weeks for him. My family is doing pretty well all things considered. My grandpa hasn't had the best health as of late, and is quite old, too. I think we've been expecting this kind of thing for quite a while. Still hard, regardless. Pray that God's will would be done. If he recovers by a miracle, glory be to God! If He goes to be with Him, rejoice and give glory to God. :)
Again, this is a time where everything is up in the air. This just happens to be probably the busiest month in my life. I'm volenteering at a conference Wednesday to Sunday (so I'll have to find some way to get myself back home on Tuesday), I have an open house in a little over a week, I graduate the week after, there's various dinners, ceremonies, and millions (it seems like) of open houses the next month and a half. *deep breath* My life is crazy right now.
Prayer would be awesome. I'm doing great right now, don't worry. However, I would very much like to make it to the month of June without getting sick from exhaustion or something like that.
So... That's about it for now. Excuse my unusually lax grammar and spelling... I'm really tired right now. :P
Keep praying, and I guess I'll see you when I see you.
God bless!

I can't believe it. I can't remember the last time I felt this way.
I keep thinking I'll wake up, and it will all have been a dream.
I've heard people talk about this, but I never thought it would happen to me...
That's right.
Spring break.
After a couple weeks of leaving sleep on the back burner, I have a chance to rest. Incredible! The end is in sight! Just another month!
The last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy. The biggest time-consumer was my project with Trinity for their spring Gala Formal/Fundraiser. If I didn't have Seth helping me, I would have been dead.
Also, I think I did class and school sometime. That part is a little bit fuzzy. Not complaining.
So now you know why a lot of you haven't seen or heard a lot from me.
But I am alive, never fear.
Other notes? I'm not getting my grades at NWC back. That's pretty frustrating. Evidently a ton of people have had trouble with those particular professors (and NWC in general after half of the staff left). I'm not sure if that's encouraging or not. On one hand, it means it wasn't a fault of mine. But on another, it's really not giving a place voted in the "Best Christian Colleges" a great name. And I still don't get my credits (for college, anyway). I'm still using them for high school. I don't think this will end up being much of a loss in the end (hours of work last year aside), because design degrees don't need geography and such. Oh, well.
God's been good to me through this. The whole situation was actually an answer to prayer.
I was reading 1st Peter 1:6, and decided that I wanted to know joy in trials. Not "know" as in head-knowledge, but "know" as in heart-knowledge (through experience). Granted, this trial is nothing like being hunted down for my faith, but combined with the loss of my job (because I told my boss "Church is more inportant than my job" when she kept bugging me about working Sundays and Wednesdays), it's been hard. I can see the ways God has answered my prayer, though, and He's given me joy in Him through it all. So I can say with utmost conviction: Glory to God in the good times and bad!
So, here's an intereting fact. I was born with large pupils. Here, by large pupils I mean "Bambi Eyes". This always gave me great vision (we're talking in the 10/20 range). However, given that fact (added to my light blue eyes), I've always been sensitive to light. You know how everything is almost unbearably bright when you get your eyes dilated? That's approximatly what everything is for me. Anyways, to make a long story short, I had an eye appointment a couple weeks ago. It would seem that being so sensitive to light isn't really good for your eyes (great Scott! No kidding!)... My right eye is slacking on the job a bit. My left still has great vision, but the right is slightly lower than normal. 25 or 30/20 may not seem like real bad vison (and it's not), but considering that my left is at 10/20, it's a pretty noticeable difference. Because of that, I've been getting a lot of tension "headaches". I say it that way because it's not so much headaches as it is a general tightening up of all the muscles in my face (oh, that's much better?).
So anyways, I'm trying several different things to see if I can relieve some of that. Nothing has helped so far. That being said, there's a possibility of me getting glasses. I'd probably only wear them for driving, reading, computer, etc, but I think it would be one of those "The more you wear them, the better" type things. I guess I'm not super-opposed to idea. I wouldn't need them for sports or anything, and really, what screams "Artist" more than this:

Eh? Am I right?
Anyways, we'll see what happens in the next week or so.
Other notable things?
More senior pictures!
A lovely lady named Amy that goes to my church is an excellent photographer. She was looking to add more senior pictures to her portfolio, and I was fortuneate enough to be one of those thanks to the combined brainstorm of Hannah and Taylor Curry (thanks!).
It was a lot of fun. Amy is absolutely hilarious. She had the funniest little things she would do. If she was trying to decide how she wanted us to post, she'd move us out of the way and strike several poses until she decided on one she wanted. Quite entertaining to watch. Also, after several pictures, she'd randomly burst out in a loud, fake-sounding laugh. This never failed to make us crack up, which was the whole point.
Anyway, I think they're going to turn out well. She's going to Azerbaijan this weekend (lucky!), so I should have some copies in a little under 2 weeks. Definitely looking forward to it!
Also! I just got a haircut/color. It's longer on the sides and bangs, with spikeage galore in the back. It's all red and burgundy and blonde, too. Definitely crazy. Interesting comments. One person imformed me that red is kind of "the color" for anorexics. Well, isn't that nice. Honestly, I could really care less. I know I've ranted on it before, but I really have very little patience for little social/fashion boxes. Who you are is not what you look like or who you hang out with. Furthermore, I think it's a waste to try to fit into a certain "group", if you will. It limits your expression and who God has made you to be. If you look at certain parts of my life, I could really fit into anything. I'm geeky. I'm artsy. I'm sportsy. I'm social. But, I couldn't possibly pick one of those and join a clique. They're all me. Don't let your nature be contained by what the world has made into neat little "people packages". You're awesome when you're you.
As a side note, this goes for the church, too. I love it when "different" people are loved and make an impact. Some churches frown down upon tattoos or piercings or weird hair or funky clothes. I say, lighten up. Look at these guys:
Would that not have some churches all up in a tizzy? Yes, it would. However, those dudes are some of the most awesome Christian guys I've ever had the pleasure to stumble upon. Great music, too.
Anyway... End rant. God loves you for your heart. Don't let people scare you into being "normal".
This should be a great weekend. The Maunday Thursday service is tomorrow, and several people will be hanging out at the Blackburn's for a "Flowover" (official Overflow) beforehand. Good stuff.
I've also decided I want to do paintball this weekend. So we'll see how that works out.
The weather is AMAZING right now, and looks like it will continue to be so. Helloooo spring!
This is getting pretty long, so I'd better scamper off now. Post with a prayer request or (and?) something God has been teaching you.
Love you all! Peace.

Ok, so it's been a while. :P I keep forgetting to update this for odd reasons (thanks a lot, Twitter). Anyways... I thought I give you all a look at what I've been working on a bit... Namely, GUI design.
GUI means "Graphical User Interface". GUIs are basically everything you see when you open an application. Computers have them, phones have them, iPods have them, etc.
My project I've been messing around with lately is modding iPod Touch and iPhone interface. I've just completed one which I'm quite happy with.
Here's a normal iPod interface:
And here's what I've cooked up:
Basically, instead of a lot of icons everywhere, I've got 8 pages with one big icon each. Some of the icons are folders, which open up to show all the applications inside.
For example, when I push the Information icon shown in the picture above, it opens this:
Which is all my applications I've seen fit to put in my Info folder.
Anyway, there's also some of my normal applications (the most-used ones) as large icons, too.
Etc...
