awesome internet site i found out about

i was randomly hopping from one blog to the next, just passing the time yesterday while i was comfortably in my pajamas and wrapped in ben's super warm water-buffalo-hide blanket sipping hot tea. <--how's that for a run-on sentence? lol! well, i discovered some really cool videos on someone's blog. i went to youtube and watched the rest of the videos. and then i had to check out the website.

i like the video a lot. it raises a lot of awareness. as it should! give the video a watch. it's short, like 20 minutes. and it's broken up into seven parts on youtube if you want to watch it in bits. just search for "story of stuff". or check out the website www.storyofstuff.com

i'd love a discussion on this to hear everyone's view. it would be fun!

cheers!

arby's curly fries

i do believe every single female that i spoke with yesterday commented how much they like my curls. it rocked! made me feel good. one girl, though, said my curls were like arby's curly fries. i didn't like the thought of greasy curly yuckiness atop my head. she said that wasn't what she meant. she meant arby's curly fries are awesome. so my hair is awesome. "ahhhh. i see" said the blind man. i told this story to a number of ladies last night while dancing. they all agreed. arby's curly fries are awesome. and they think my hair is too. =)

cheers!

why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? i guess that wouldn't work. someone would leave. someone always leaves. then we would have to say good-bye. i hate good-byes. i know what i need. i need more hellos.

trying to help

my younger brother is pretty negative generally. he's become increasingly more so as of late and this really worries me. his self image is poor, his self worth is non-existant, and he has no motivation. it doesn't help, either, that both parents are masterful at keeping him in such a state. it's sad. i believe he needs to get out from the sesspool of negativity and hardship known as the broxterman house. my mother and father won't change (though i wish so badly for them to) so benjamin has got to get out of there.

he has been texting me a lot since this past holiday season. most everything is saddening to read. and some of the things have down right scared the hell outta me. last night, though, there was a big breakthrough. around 4 in the morning he sent me a text. we got to texting and he asked for help in moving to lincoln. this was so encouraging! i ask that you please pray for benjamin, that he would be strong against the overwhelming negative air that he's surrounded by, that he would begin to see things positively, that he would hope, that he would see himself as valued by others, and for financial difficulty and discernment in dealing with my parents. god is being faithful to my brother! praise him! i'm so encouraged and excited now!

cheers!

what's for breakfast?

here's what i had for breakfast today: a banana, oatmeal with dried fruit bits in it, vanilla yogurt with fresh blackberries i added, two pieces of wheat toast with pumpkin butter, and a big honkin' glass of milk. after eating this, i'm content and relaxed. my stomach has food in it. there's a happy little grin on my face.

i'm curled up on the couch with soft blankets now. i just boiled some water for tea. i'm going to enjoy this comfort and warmth for a while. =)

a picture of me

i have only posted a pic of me once on my blog. even my profile pic is a goofy cartoon drawing on a coaster and not a pic of me, which it probably should be of me. i've forever had this insecurity about what i look like. growing up, i was never made to feel beautiful or attractive. and for the past few years, there's been this lurking negativity inside me. i don't like it one bit. it certainly hasn't aided me in seeing myself rightly. i think i posted about this a while back last year. i don't remember when though. well, today starts the fight. w00t! here's a pic when i was back home a couple of weekends ago for my cousin's wedding.



cheers!

and on a second note

yesterday's post was about memories and how awesome they are. i didn't mention in that post that memories also serve to show us and teach us many things. we can learn so much from them. i guess i didn't want it to come across like i didn't see that. memories are just so powerful.

cheers!

remembering when

memories are such good things for us. they serve many a purpose. one of those purposes, is to give us comfort. when we look back, we can see times that were so fun, when we were so happy, when there wasn't a care in the world and life seemed worry-free. often, when thinking of these things there is a smile put on our faces. our hearts are warmed. perhaps we will even cry then. oh the beauty of memories! we can be transported away from the present for a bit. away from whatever it is that is there. whoever said time travel is impossible is a fool. for i can go back and stand there, having such joy in my heart, watching myself ride a bike for the very first time. i even laugh to myself and say, "you big dummy. why are you doing this barefoot?" then i see myself crash on the curb and literally tear my toe off. man! what a great summer day that was! so warm. so endless. so free. i cry too, as i see myself crying while running to my mother for help. ha ha! i love it. it's so good!

i bring up the subject of memories, and going back, because today i am remembering a wonderful time in my life and am going back to it. though it is snowing outside and the wind is blowing, i am sitting at a table, on a balcony, in a castle in germany. don't ask me to say the name of the castle, for i don't remember it. honestly, it seems of little importance to me. as i sit, i look down off the balcony and can see the river rhine below. it's quite a ways down there! between myself and this wonderful water passage is lush vegetation. so many shrubs and bushes and trees! i can vaguely make out the criss-cross, back and forth path starting at the bottom of this enormous hill leading up to the castle. i then look out along the castle itself, past the castle, to the valley beyond. oh the green! have you ever seen such green? there were many vineyards on the steep slopes on the other side. any moving thing over there looked like an ant. as i scanned the entire valley i saw pathways, little buildings, people, animals, greens, browns... i had so much joy and amazement in my heart, that it overflowed. oh lord, how amazing is your creation! what beauty you reveal to me! how beautiful you are! i look up and i see the sun hovering only slightly above the hills in the east. i look down at my arms as i feel the the sun's warmth enter my skin. i exhale. i become still. it's only 7:30 in the morning. i'm in this wonderful castle full of architecture, art, and wonder. i'm eating a pastry and drinking some of the greatest white wine i've ever had the pleasure of tasting. this memory is pretty amazing for me. i didn't know or understand god then, but now i do. i can look back and see him, though at the time, i didn't see him. so now, the memory is even more amazing. i wish everyone i know could see and feel just a percent of what is in my heart right now! how could they not be brought to their knees and say, "wow!" and be still and just let it hit them? there's so much joy and wonder and amazement that i wish for everyone to experience it.

i've gotten off track. but if you know me, then you know that's something that occcurs quite often. anywho, going back to that most wonderful memory has given me what i need - comfort. and now that i am settled and that i feel okay, i am now more accurately focused on god. the worries, stresses, and anxieties that life and satan throw at me seem less important. that's why i think going back is sooooooo good for us. we know that god has been faithful since "life's first cry". why then do we get distracted? i find that memories are a gift from god. god has given them to us to further bring us joy, comfort, and rest, to get us to a point where our hearts are aligned with his, to bring us closer to him.

so as i finish the remainder of this bottle of wine (chateau ste michelle, gewurztraminer - a medium dry wine that comes NOTHING close to the white wine at the castle that many years ago) i tell you this: god is there. god has been there. you can look back and see him in every aspect of your life. see that. and move towards him.

have a really, REALLY, awesome day friends!

cheers!

one thing god has spoken,
two things have i heard:
that you, o god, are strong,
and that you, o lord, are loving.

-psalm 62:11-12-

that thing called grace

it's so hard for me to understand grace. how can it be possible? it blows my mind.

but it's there. god gives it. and i see it. it's so powerful! others give it too.

i'd love to talk about why it's so hard for me, why grace is so awesome, and to talk about what i get, and don't get, about it. blogging's no place for that though. it should be a two way conversation. see ya!

cheers!

last night sucked

last night at work was horrible, mainly towards the end. here's where i start the rant. my feet were hurting really bad all night. i had to take a delivery to a strip club. it made me sick and also pissed off. then, i had to take a delivery to 43rd and pine lake-ish. but i couldn't get an exact route there because the map program on the computers weren't working. it took even longer to find the house because the streets in that neighborhood are a little weird. then, i ran over to 14th and pine lake-ish. the apartment buildings there do not have numbers on them making it difficult to know where i'm supposed to go. i proceeded to call the customer. he didn't answer. arghhhhhh! it's 10:40!!! eventually i got a hold of him and things were good so i headed back to the store.

when i got back to the store, i noticed another driver had already clocked out and left. this was very unusual because there were three deliveries that needed to go out and the other driver was still out on his deliveries. so why did pat go home early? i do not know. i just know it made me pretty mad. the manager had all the deliveries ready to go and was sort of shooing me out the door. all three deliveries by the way, were going to the very south end of town, by the mall. arghhhhhh! "why am i getting stuck with this?" i thought. i pack up everything and leave as fast as possible. it's now 10:55!!!

the first place was a piece of cake to find. the last two however, were a bit tougher. they were both apartments and they were both within a block of each other. the apartment buildings though, did not have well visible numbers on them making it very difficult to find where to go. though the store closes at 11, and it was 11:20, and his food was promised in an hour (making me early), he thought it reasonable not to tip. and to also question if his order was right. get a life! on my way to the next apartment building, i run into mandi, who works at davinci's also, and lives in these apartments. she had the night off and stopped to say hi. i informed her the night was going crappy. she commented that my voice was going.

and that's another thing i'm ranting about here. all through the night my throat was getting sore and my voice was wearing out. i was thinking, "now i won't be able to communicate with people. greeeaaaaat." plus, a sore throat and no voice is a sign of sickness. and i hate being sick.

i get to what i think is the right apartment building. but there are trees in front of it and no numbers on the building at all. i go inside thinking it has to be the one. wrong! i call the customer. he tells me his building is the next one over, the one that looks nothing like all the others and doesn't look like it even belongs with them. he was nice enough to come outside and down a flight of stairs to meet me. he got his food and i headed back to the store.

i counted up the day's earnings (which were minimal), did some mopping, clocked out, grabbed the food that was made at 9 that i still hadn't gotten to eat, and left.

here's the thing about last night that most made me mad. i missed the majority of becca's show at the chatterbox. she had invited me on wednesday and since then i was really really looking forward to it. i've never seen her band play before and was so anxious to do so. everything kept happening at work to prevent me from this though. i finally got there, letting my food sit to get cold in my car, around 11:45. her band started playing at 11. the guy at the door still charged me to get in even though i was only going to be there for 15 minutes. i heard 1 1/2 songs. paul, molly, matt, and amy thompson were there. i was still very cross from the night so far and it was visible. my voice had gone out and i couldn't even tell people what went on. and it was loud making it much harder. there was talk of going to cliff's or staying to watch the next band and then going to cliff's. but i left after something someone said. it made me angry. turns out that i took what that person said too seriously. they were only joking. on my way out of the chatterbox, i hit my head HARD on a beam outside the door. right then i wanted to just sit down and cry. "what a crummy night!" i was thinking. i wanted a little comfort after the night i had, you know? anyone know how that goes? when something is tough and you need comfort and/or understanding? well i wasn't really in a position to get that, i guess. here i was in a loud bar, with no voice, around people who had been there awhile and were already settled in.

yeah. thinking back now, i wish i would have just sat down and cried. that would have been enough communication to the others that i was having a rough time.

cheers!

14jan08 today's quote

travel is fatal to prejudice and bigotry.

onward and upward. upward mostly.

it's not that i'm bad with vocabulary, as in knowing many words and understanding their meaning and usage, but rather, that i'm bad at matching words to my feelings inside. using words to describe these things is awfully tough for me. throw in a bit of perfectionist (and stubborness) and now you have a real struggle. what i'm getting at here, is that i'm trying to find a word that describes this week.

i'm going to say humbling. this week has been humbling. i've been seeking the lord endlessly over the past seven days. i remembered that i am to give ALL of myself to him. all, all, all. everything. so i've been doing this. it hasn't been easy. it's been so hard to accept his grace and to give myself grace. it's also been hard to let go the burdens. they're not for me to carry. i remembered that i'm not in control. that things don't happen on my time. they happen on god's time and his timing is perfect. his plan is perfect.

i've given everything to the lord and am trusting in his plan. he's awesome. he'll do his thing and i know that it can't be done any better than that. and it can't be done any better for me than his way.

today, mike's sermon seemed like it was intended just for me. i spoke to him afterward and thanked him and told him his sermon was really good for me. we got to talking and i asked him how he's been. he began telling me and as i listened, i asked questions. he kept talking and i soon realized, he had just gone through some very similar issues emotionally and of the heart. i didn't talk about myself at all. didn't feel i needed to. the talk with mike was very encouraging for me. one of the things i wrote on my prayer request this week was praise for an increased faith as of late. i've been approaching god from the heart. being real. he's shown his love greatly. my joy in him is greater now and i give praise to him for all of this!

cheers!

booooooooooring

so i had my stop class today. yeaaaaahhhhhhh... i had gotten 5 1/2 hours of sleep last night and was tired when i showed up a little before 8. it was such a fight to keep awake and alert. on my lunch break, i ran home for food. but before i returned, i stopped by the coffee connection and got a white chocolate mocha from molly. but even with the coffee, the afternoon drug on. i was under the impression the stop class ended at 4. you can imagine my disheartenment when i realized it actually ended an hour later.

i have NO desire to take another stop class. no more speeding for scottie b.

11jan08 today's quote

there are few, more motivating forces, stronger than encouragement.

it's not boring this way

i get free soda while i'm at work. i rarely drink much of it though. water is what i drink most often. i use styrofoam cups because they're cheaper for the company than the plastic ones with the davinci's logo on them. there was a while there, when my cup was getting thrown away all the time. this frustrated me because i had to get another cup and that's just being more wasteful. also, i didn't understand why someone would just throw it away. it was just sitting there. anywho, i started putting my name on my cups. but i can't just write my name on it. that would be boring! here's my cup from the other day.


cheers!

10jan08 today's quote

the greatest man is he who chooses the right with invincible resolution, who resists the sorest temptations from within and without, who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in storms and most fearless under menace and frowns, and whose reliance on truth, virtue, and on god is most unfaltering.

the music

i've been listening to a lot of music lately. wanting to hear some words that i could relate to. i'm really looking to be understood. been so hurt, sad, confused, and frustrated. and i've been caught up in all that. i've been throwing punches in the air and just want to scream out the honest truth of how i feel inside. listening to music is an outlet for these feelings. i could often relate to the words and say "yeah! that's it. that's how i feel". but the words could not do that all the time and never completely. never do all the words match up exactly to how i am feeling. i've come to see that i was seeking something from either the singer or the words. it's silly. what i'm needing right now can't be fulfilled by that. there's no relationship there.

i was listening to piano music when i realized it. i need to be focusing inward. to myself. what's going on in there? being honest. listening to what's inside. not seeking it outside. the piano music doesn't speak any words to me. it's just here for me. it helps me get to the right place. one cannot help but be left to their heart, their feelings and their thoughts when this music plays. it's sort of like being left on your own in a good kind of way, with the music there - happy, supportive, and encouraging to be doing this for you. i have been humbled.

i slowed down... came to a stop... got quiet... "be still scottie. let's watch and listen for a bit. don't do anything okay?" and then i cried. i felt it. understanding, acceptance, letting go, grace, mercy, god's love.

right now i'm not looking for a hug. i'm being hugged.

nothing short of a roller coaster

it's been a smidge over a year since i've been back in lincoln. i am pausing today to reflect on the past year. there have been incredible highs and incredible lows. pray that the focus would be where it needs to be as i try and learn from the year and grow from it. thanks friends!

cheers!

where's the time?

i haven't blogged lately, been so freakin' busy. i was back in ctown for my cousin's wedding. i hung out with my friend ryan saturday evening - played guitar hero for the first time! then sunday came about and the typical sunday community was to be had. i worked. got off early. went to walmart to buy a hair dryer. then went downtown and talked a bit with molly. ended up at 80's night. brittan was in town! it was good to see him. we hung out for a good part of the day on monday. i played scrabble with molly at her work. i was no match for her and she won. then i worked, went home, and went to bed. today, i sent a bunch of texts. listened to a friend. went to jone's and hung out with becca. blogged.

i am experiencing god's working in my life right now. have been for some time actually. but am now more in tune with it and cooperating, for lack of better vocabulary. i've been giving lots to him, my problems, worries, desires, and questions. i'm learning what questions to ask and how to ask them. there is an understanding, which i'm gaining more and more, of what it means to include god in my prayers. an understanding of my complete reliance on him. an understanding of how to be honest with myself and to him. it's been a very eye opening experience and i'm so thankful! i'm blown away by god.

please continue to keep me in your prayers.

cheers!

a possible r.i.p. for pandora

i tried listening to music at www.pandora.com yesterday. the page wasn't loading. i then did a google search for "pandora radio" and saw many a headline stating pandora.com is under fire. apparently, there are liscencing issues and what-not. i didn't research exactly what is going on, but today pandora.com seems up and running. hopefully, it doesn't end soon. that would stink!

i recommend the site to anyone. you can hear all sorts of music and hear all sorts of music that you want to hear. stations can be created to your liking and you can choose to have songs never played if you wish not to hear them. also, you have the oppurtunity to be exposed to much new music. and there's a ton of information about the artists, songs, albums, music, etc. check it out!

cheers!

can you guess what song?

i found this surfing through random blogs. it's a song being sung in reverse. about halfway through, i think you'll get it if you haven't gotten it by then.


i remember way back when, while working at circuit city, playing with the sound recorder on the computers. i discovered if you say the word "so" and play it backwards, that it is "was". i tried to form a sentence out of other words, but it's hard! so props to this guy!

lunch with the andersons

so for the second lunch of the new year, i got to eat with mark and linda and lily and nels. linda had called me the night before and asked if i was up for lunch with them. of course! mark had made some pizzas. they were amazing both in appearance and deliciousness. you have to see them! here's pics of a few of them:


it was also good to see how their new house is coming along. the wood floors look amazing. there's a really cool pattern in the dining room that is especially amazing. the kitchen has a very nice floor in it now, a fridge, shelving, and a new tiled countertop. the upstairs rooms have been painted and everything is so much brighter. it looks great! and the bathroom's finished now. it has slate tile on the floor that has an awesome look and texture to it. there's still some work to be done to finish things up though. i am soooooo happy for mark and linda! they have a house! weeeeeee!

i'll leave you with a pic of a very cute girl (lily!):

THE PITA PIT IS CLOSED!!!

remember that place i worked with the crappy manager? well, it's closed now. my friend julie came into work last night and told me the good news. i was really excited to hear it and after work, went down town to see with my own eyes.

wow! store closings aren't usually seen as a good thing, but i'm celebrating. for two reasons. one, evil is bad. justin, the crappy manager, isn't a manager any longer. employees won't be putting up with him any more. his power, which he so lusted for, is no more. his own doing has brought this upon himself. he leads a pretty bad life and his deeds and actions have definately not given him prosperity in business or relationships. the opposite, quite frankly, is true.

the second reason is that good is good. it's a reason to celebrate that god has been glorified. i praise him because bad hasn't been allowed to prosper. it was apparent by many that the pita pit was bad in many ways. god saw this and an end to it has been brought about. i know too, that many an eye can be opened to what this situation can teach/show them. this is just another way of god showing he's sovereign, that he takes part in our lives, and that he loves us. i'm confident that new jobs will open up for the employees and that a lot of stresses will now be off of them. but despite all the joy and praise, there is a part of me that is sad because justin doesn't even see the errors of his ways.


here's the pic i took of the sign. i wonder what will happen now?

cheers!

the first meal of the year

jonathan invited ben, josh, and i over for lunch yesterday. did i ever tell you how awesome jonathan is? he made spaghetti, a salad, and garlic bread. ben brought over some beer from granite city. we chatted, ate, chatted, and played settlers of catan. it was such a good time! i wish i hadn't been scheduled to work for i wanted to stay longer. but that's how it goes sometimes.

we also made banana foster. sooooo good! here are some pics of the yummy goodness:



cheers!

but everybody's doing it

i'm not one to make new year's resolutions. they seem silly. that being said, i'm not against desiring changes, hoping for things, or making goals. i think these are all very good things. somehow society doesn't put much weight in these things i guess. maybe they think it's only necessary once a year? or maybe i'm just a purist. okay. i admit it. i AM a purist. i feel every day is an amazing oppurtunity for changing and betterment.

this year i'm hopeful for many things and i'm wanting to work on a number of things. for i see a need for growth. i think next week i'll start blogging about some of these things. one request though. i ask that you would pray for me this year. thanks!

cheers!
