@.@;;
it's been awhile...

and there's a lot that I've wanted to say
I had a great time this weekend
(especially after Mass on Sunday)

but now is not the time for me to expound on everything, for I have tasks that require me to work on them.

I'll return though...
pray for me.

-Daiko~
(-.-;; too active online, need to do more work!)

the sea of mediocrity
I think is where I'm at
I seem to be floundering with regards to some things, and I don't like this...

Anyways, this isn't the first time that I've updated this blog today- I've had quite a few computer-related problems, and I don't want to go into detail as I should be going home now...

Yes, I leave you with merely
the ghost [or rather, wisp] of an entry
...

-sigh-

-pray for me~

I don't like spyware
nor the various ways that intrusively
[almost force one] to order or to download programs that will supposedly fix the problem...
that angers me
-yet, I will post something that made me smile instead of ranting about the aforementioned annoyance:


You're Riku


Which DNAngel Character Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

(unfortunately, the picture seems to be broken
and I don't know why.)

****
-sigh-

-pray for me~

my options
in review as a new blog-home for me:

in my last [published] entry,
my good friend Brian suggested this place to me:
Blog Drive.com

it looks really good...
almost as good as Mod Blog.com with the main difference between the two services being that Blog Drive doesn't come with a forum unlike Mod Blog...

so, I'm still considering and weighing my options
in this matter, and in others...

by the way, here's a lovely example of a blog that's from Blog Drive:
Becoming Catholic

looks really good so far!!

(more writing and research to be done,
I'll return when I can...)

I'll pray for you guys,
please

pray for me~

lands of the blogging realm
are quite varied with regards to what you can do within them.

(Originally, I was going to title this entry with something akin to this phrase: "Blogging Competition for Angelfire" -but that didn't sound good enough to me...)

I'm seriously considering moving to a different, and better blogging service- I have been for some time, but I could be taking action soon.

I've been here on Angelfire for less than a year and encountered some problems, I've even used the help features provided by Angelfire, but I was not able to purge my blog of certain things -hence, my perpetually un-editable profile.

However, there's a lot of options
and I am still browsing through them.

It would be really nice if there was a blog service reviewer of some sort so I could have accurate comparisons of the services below, as well as for the others not mentioned...

Mod Blog.com
T Blog.com
Diary Land.com
Live Journal.com
Blogger.com

(yes, I am aware of the various incarnations of LJ and Blogger...)

****
On another note,
I'm still starving...

starving
in the land of plenty...

at least when it comes to faith
no, when it comes to showing and growing into my love of God.

You see, things are too easy for me
here and now
also, I'm making it so easy to
do things that I shouldn't
(like go and browse art and stuff online
when I should be working
when I could be praying...)
-and I don't like my behavior.

No, I don't.

There is so much here
but I am not consuming it as I should
-I'm looking at junk food
thinking it will fill me,
but it won't.

This is how it is,
me and my distractions
-sigh-

(and I find myself
unaware of the fact that I am hungry
for the things that truly matter
and I starve...)

****
pray for me...

move me, Lord and help me to stand
so that I may not fall
and be hurt
when I don't need to be

let me pick myself up
and walk down the road
even if it's painful
even if I forget what it is that I'm doing
-help me.

****
@.@!! -gah!

prayer request from the Daiko:
Pray for me and my brother!
-it's getting close to the end of our respective [school] terms and we want to be able to turn in our work and get what we need to get done
-it's hard... he's got Attention Deficit and I seem to have lost the will to work

-sigh- We need more discipline.

Anyways, it's not too late (yet)
we just need help in finishing before the cutoff dates~ -.-;;

****
let me walk
and not be hindered by
foolish-ness

and let me turn away
from temporal distractions
for they are mere temporary delights
that I revel in
when I could be dancing
at the gate of Heaven

for I am such a fool
though I am reedemed.

***
-pray for me,
I'll be praying for you~

I enjoy creating so much
I do, I love drawing and recently,
I made an avatar


If you can't see the image, here is the linked version

-I'm glad that I can share these with everyone
(thanks to Photo Bucket.com
No, I haven't been paid to advertise, I just love the service~ ^_^;;)

****
if you can't read the text I embedded into the image, here it is:
[This] "avatar is of my little brother, DO NOT steal him! If you use this, or anything else of mine; obtain my permission first! Copyright © Daiko 2004"

the earthly image God gave me...
can now be viewed, happy readers!

This is Daiko

-I got an account over at Photo Bucket.com

see you later,
-pray for me~

(sorry, not much today...^.^;;)

okay, ignore the silly entry below this one...
because it's pretty non-sensical
(actually, because it's not a good entry
I'd written it very, very early this morning)

*happy sigh*

Finally, I am feeling like myself again
I went to morning Mass
and after recieving the Eucharist
I was restored and rejuvenated.


****
...an interesting thing,
all Lent, my church community had to be
reminded not to say "the forbidden word" (alleluia!)

it is now past Lent
and my pastor, Father Ron
is having a hard time remembering
to close Mass with, "Alleluia, alleluia!!"

-I find that kinda funny...

^_^~~~
