Excited For Camp

It is 11:07 pm and i have been up since 5:30 am.  I'm super tired right now but i wanted to write before i went to bed.  My father and i went up to Big Bear today to go skiing.  It was very fun.  I have not gone skiing in probably a little over a year and I'm not going to lie, i did work.  I totally kicked my dads butt all over the mountain.  This just added to my tiredness.

So next weekend is the winter camp for the junior high and high school at kingsfield church.  This is my first year going up as a leader for junior high.  I am very excited, and at the same time a little bit nervous.  Ever since i was in middle school i have wanted to be a leader when i was older.  Now that the time has finally arrived i feel like i am so ill prepared!  Who am i to lead a group of younglings in there walk with the lord?  I don't have any extensive knowledge or any wise words to share.  I keep praying that god will fill me with his spirit and teach me to be like him so that he can use me in whatever way he wants me to be used at camp.  If nothing else i want god to use me as an example for the junior high students.  An example of someone who has a real lasting relationship with the one true god and not just some act i put on.  I remember when i was little and doing the whole Sunday school thing.  I thought all the adults that taught us were the coolest.  I wonder if anyone will think like that of me?  I just pray that I can represent god through the way i live accurately bringing honor to him and i hope that in one way or another god uses me to affect a students life.

Another aspect of camp i am quite excited about is to get to know the different leaders from different churches.  I think it is really cool how so many people from different churches know each other and are really tight.  I would love if i could click with the other guys and make good relations with them so then on future occasions we will be able to look back on camp with good memories or continue to make memories if our friendships continue to grow.

I Want a Beard

So i have now gone a week without shaving and i feel pathetic by how far i have gone.  There is NOTHING i would like more in this life than to grow a nice thick beard, but all i got going for me is some nice patchy fur growing on my cheeks.  I'm contemplating going another week just to see how things turn out but I'm a little embarrassed to go out in public in my current state.  Especially cause i have work today.  We will see.

On a  side note, I'm a little frustrated with any guitar riff or lyrics I'm putting out right now.  I cant seem to be content with it.  It is strange, whenever i write a song that is in one way or another bringing glory to God, or something deep on my heart, i love how it turns out.  but anything secular just does not make the cut.  especially lyric wise cause i like some of my riffs.  Maybe its a sign that i should just play for God?  Maybe I'm just going crazy and suck at writing music.  Whatever it is I hope it stops.

First Screenplay In Years

So in celebration of my new camera i figured it is about time to start working on projects again.  I had a fresh idea for a short based on an experience i had in a public restroom about 3 months ago.  I typed it up in just about ten minutes and am pretty excited about it.  Mainly just because i want to shoot with my camera.  I had to buy a new memory stick cause i only had two 1g clash cards and this is defiantly not enough memory if i want to shoot in HD.  The new one should come in about a week and hopefully is worth it.
      Another snag i have is that i no longer have any working editing software that can handle a file as big as my camera films.  I'm hoping i will be able to use a computer at my churches building (aka the Hub)  cause they have everything i need software wise to edit the footage.  If that does not work then I'm pretty much screwed and need to buy new software.  I will have to eventually but i would like to put it off as long as i can cause lets be honest, editing software is very pricey.
     So i am having some friends review the screenplay trying to get feedback on what to change and what to keep in and just an idea of if people will even like it.  So far people have just been kinda whatever about it so we will see what happens.

More Camera Trouble

So I figured out how to get it on the computer...but i cant upload the vids to youtube/facebook cause the files are too big.  Usually i would just run it through Windows Movie Maker and that would fix the problem but Movie maker cant read the file my camera is writing on.  It is making me very upset.  I will beat the camera though.  I will figure this out.

My Camera is Being Stupid

So i just got my new camera yesterday and i absolutely love it.  i have been playing with it pretty much all day (apart from when i had to leave my house for various reasons).  The only problem is...my computer does not read that there is a camera when i plug it in.  It worked fine the first time i plugged it in but after that i stopped!  So i tried using a different camera to upload the photos and that camera didn't work ether.  I'm going to have a fun time figuring this one out =/
