So...ive finished! after being under severe pressure cookin for however long...i finished my last exam yesterday! im more relieved than over-joyed cos exam time is a horrible time...i'm not really myself...well, i revert back to my old habits and its not healthy...i have tons of doubts and worries...but when it comes down to it, i trust in God to give me whatever and ill work it out when the time comes...no matter if i soar or flunk. i think i gotta be ready for that...but until then,im currently deletin A-level Chemistry and Biology files from my head...shouldnt take long...
the body has gotten used to wakin up and bein sleep deprived...woke up at 5 to do some crammin before exam...sat my exam at 9.30...finished at 1.00...came home and hung out with me,myself and i and at times with matt and meems...went to meet up with adnan who arrived at 7.30 and i hung around in brum for bout an hour and fifteen minutes...altho, i ran into my old friend Bilal...i ran upto him: "Bill!!" "HEY!" "Bilal my friend...how are u?!"
*offer bilal a handshake*
"im doin great...uve changed alot Jase...with ur hair and everythin! " "well..yeah...*thinking and processin what he said*....wait a minute, i'm NOT JASON!" "ur not? oh! whats ur name...im bad with names u see..." "dude...guess at least?"
*5 mins later* "it begins with ' R ' ..."
*3 minutes later* "R....O..." "ROSS!" "thanks Bil (!)..."
but yeah...adnan crashed here...watched these hysterical videos...didnt sleep till 2..and im up now...i guess i dont lie in...but yeah...i like wakin up with no academic agendas on my mind...this is what it feels like to be matt...since he finished on the 8th! sheesh! but anyway...congratulations to Chrissy as she finished yesterday too...we did it! and the rest of u who've finished...on the other side of last weekend... in the words of Tommy Lee (haha nick):
"Take me away..to a place where the good times good times roll..."
so...for no reason...well..there is...but jus to establish where i stand on this matter...i jus want to pledge my allegiance to:
"Lurpak Butter on Toast"
this occured to me as i first bit into it this morning...and it reminded me of this cookin show i watched with my mom coupla weeks ago where they tried to identify by guessing which was the most expensive butter out of three samples with Lurpak as the cheapest one and some butter in a tin as the most expensive judgin on taste... chef takes a nibble of Lurpak and he feels disgusted callin it "cheap"...sorry, but what a ponce.
but yeah...take ur butter in a tin (altho it could be very very nice, i dunno...) and leave Lurpak and my taste buds to our own devices...
Go Lurpak!
i would come up with a song like; " O Lurpak..you came and i saw and ate u..." in the tune of 'Mandy' but i havent got time...revising today...try and cram as much in this one day for tomoro..then i finish...
"O Lurpak" will be a project of mine when i finish...
it's just a thought i had right this minute.
video editing...funny.

anyway, jus a headsup for those who are interested...

I'm currently listening to: "Resolution" by Nick Lachey
"Superman Returns," which premieres June 28, has been drawing its own comparisons to biblical accounts, especially after the appearance of its trailer earlier this year.
The preview shows the hero with his eyes closed as the voice of his father -- Marlon Brando's, courtesy of 1978's "Superman" -- tells him he was sent to Earth because humans "lack the light to show the way."
"For this reason," continues the voice, "I have sent them you, my only son."
Online message boards and Web logs quickly latched onto the biblical resonance of those lines.
"The allusion to Jesus Christ could hardly be accidental," wrote Christian blogger Tom Gilson.
"Is this a new Superman for the new Evangelist red state America? Superman as Jesus?" asked one contributor to the Portland-based blog site Urban Honking.... "
-the full article is that link thing under the picture...i dont know how to link it so copy and paste...
So...everythin has gone down not so well... im mentally bein fried right now..ive got a brief pit stop..bio exam this friday so i get to breathe a lil...ive been workin and crammin non-stop since last friday...i even missed alan's birthday party! :( which was a totaly bummer...(Happy Birthday Old Man...u get to join my club...party of one...now two...thanks man) But uh...got a find a balance between bein sane, tryin to do well and not givin up...dunno how they will turn out...i think not so well..then i must face the audience...and think of what to do next... im jus really lookin forward to the 2pm: 26th June . im finished... if u know me, then ull know i go really inward and totally not be me...i know everyone is like that, but i lack any positivity whatsoever...the crazy lady has been tryin to get me to slap out of it..currently, im feelin more positive cos it is upto The Big Man Upstairs...but i dunno...im tryin my damndest right now...and i feel it slippin away.
sigh.
anyway,John Mayer's new song is liftin me up a bit... it's called "Waitin on the World to change"...his new single from his new album 'Continuum' comin out in September..i cant wait! :) www.myspace.com/johnmayer
to hear a stream of the single...i love it...not ur typical acousitcally i-love-u-so-much-john-mayer-sound...has a bluesy feel to it...highly chilling.
what else is there? oh..was on the BBC website...readin the news...apparently, early reviews of Superman Returns have been muchos positivos. :D :D cant wait for that...i might shed a "guy tear" wen i watch it. umm, thats it for now...
If you've got 2 minutes to spare or takin a break from whatever ur doin..please...i invite you...
Insert a caption for this picture.
Sure, its not as intellectually taxing compared to other non-work related stuff such as sudoku or the highs and lows of chess,but tackles the minds of ur very weird brains...you know who u are.
anyway,back to it. the mind grind. and i don mean sudoku.
good luck...well, not good luck as i know someone is not particularly fond of that phrase...but that person is right, its not down to 'luck'...its down to God. if He wants u achievin that goal...He'll let u. If He doesn't...sure it will hurt but i guess be secure in the knowledge He has somethin bigger planned for u...so:
God Bless You and Your Exams...i pray thats what He intended for u to do all along altho we have no clue as to what His full plan is... "I will walk by faith even when i cannot see but because this broken road prepares Your will for me"
-Jeremy Camp (the man sings sense)
oh, and since its my blog:
"its the strangest thing..i dont know...the lyrics jus seems to make sense altho i had no intention to put that in when i was postin this...i dont know...its the strangest thing...maybe God wanted me to put it down...i dont know...its the strangest thing...cos, i jus wanted to put the picture in and ask y'all to insert a caption really...cos, i thought it could be a nice-ish break for y'all...its the strangest thing...i dont know...and so forth."
Dear Father in Heaven, Lord...i jus want to thank You for currently guidin me through the minefields called exams.but Lord, im really stressin and gettin nervous bout what happens if this door wasnt the plan?that i was set up for a fall...?Lord, i really want to get to Dublin...but im so dang-diddly disobedient that im scared that it jus might not be given or this was a very hard lesson to learn from. Father, my only strength comes from You and im scared. I am scared of failing..miserably. I've got hopes pinned on me and days like these, it gets to me real bad. i feel like screamin and shoutin swear words but You have removed bout 98% of that particular vocabulary out of my box.. Father, please calm my nerves and guide me through these next few weeks...i know, i will still be as disobedient as anythin at times, i will still have times when i need a good kicking...but i trust in You that You will instill a good kicking when i need it. i jus really want it God...i do...but i cant do it without You. Praise You in Jesus' most precious name. Amen.
the premise...this show is bout no laughing...but these comedians are put in situations where they cant do anythin but laugh...so, they must keep a tight lip otherwise suffer punishment... this game is set at "school", they are shown an English Language video...the point is not to laugh at the Japanese guy on tv who is talkin in english...
" I can do ALL things through CHRIST who strengthens me. "
i guess i kept repeatin that today...it made me steady...calmer...
it is christ who strengthens me. it is CHRIST who strengthens ME. it IS CHRIST who STRENGTHENS ME. IT IS CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME.
isn't that the oddest thing?ALL OF IT...FROM HIM...from HIM to you. no such thing as inner strength..un-tapped resiliency...its all bout the Big Man Upstairs.
