 | You scored as Maximus. After his family was murdered by the evil emperor Commodus, the great Roman general Maximus went into hiding to avoid Commodus's assassins. He became a gladiator, hoping to dominate the colosseum in order to one day get the chance of killing Commodus. Maximus is valiant, courageous, and dedicated. He wants nothing more than the chance to avenge his family, but his temper often gets the better of him.

So I took the day off today and it has been wonderful. Last night was Yvonne's bachelorette party and we all rode around in a big limo to Glenwood where we danced the night away. It was a fun girls night. I haven't done that in a long time. So today I slept in and just had a really nice me day. Nothing fancy, just relaxing. I have been so up and down lately that it was nice to just be here and rest.
I had a really great talk with my dad on the phone and then later at dinner. It has been a while since I really felt like he understood where I was really coming from. Having a Pastor for a dad has its advantages and disadvantages, as i am sure you can imagine. Sometimes I need a dad and he is the pastor...and sometimes I need a pastor and he is the overprotective dad. Today he was the perfect mix of both. He really helped me understand some things that I have been dealing with. I asked him if he could see a change in me in recent months and he said yes and that he could tell I was growing in different areas. That really meant alot to me because I have always felt like the odd man out in my family...the one who screws up, even though he never made me feel that way. Later we decided to go see Chicken Little and had dinner. It was the best date I have had in a while :-) I am really so thankful for him. I know that I take his support for granted and many many people do not have that luxury. It really makes me appreciate him. So, thanks dad. I love you.
We talked alot about family. Not just in the literal sense, but in general. If you are reading this, then you are my family. Even if I don't talk to you much or we haven't always gotten along, family is family. I have learned, am learning, or will learn from you and hopefully you from me. I am sorry when I hurt you and will forgive you when you hurt me.
I guess I am just in a really good mood right now. I have felt pretty empty at times lately, and at the moment at least, I see good things and know that everything works itself out eventually. Even if the outcome is 100% different than what I thought I wanted. It's kinda funny how things work that way. I still have no clue about my future, but I am starting to see that the journey is pretty cool in itself.
OK...so I had some WEIRD dreams last night. I just don't even know what to say about them...but to laugh.
~My dad and I snuck into the Cinderella's castle and caught part of the Lion King live on stage as they were practicing...we almost got busted but thankfully escaped unscathed.
~I tried again on my own but got chasedby some sort of secret service.
~Then I was at some sort of retreat and everyone had to dress up as animals. I was a big fuzzy chewbacca and again the game was chase. I was sliding down these big foresty hills by the host of this crazy retreat and I was the first to be captured. But only after sliding down hills and swinging through trees for a good amount of time.
~ I guess I went back to the retreat lodge because now me and some guy were sitting at some kind of mexican bar and I tried to order buffalo chicken but they didn't know what it was. I think I also tried to order a dirty martini....again, I had to explain what that was. I rememeber speaking to them in Spanish and they managed to pull it off. However my drink ended up being $20 dollars, which brought the bill to over $100. So we had to come up with the money and ended up going in the "back room" where we had to talk to the big boss. We managed to get out of trouble.
~There was another one with alot of snow...I can't remember anything else but that.
I swear I am not making this up.
Time for work. haha.
