Today is the day of the year I hate the most, Valentines day. Those of you who know me are probably thinking "But Cody you love that mushy stuff" are quite correct and I will respond to you shortly, the rest of you didnt know that and really dont know me well.
As for this holiday I hate it mostly because it gives lazy guys an excuse to be cute and for their girlfriends to go "awww how sweet!" when in reality a guy should treat a girl like every day is Valentines day!
Women also make this holdiay unberable by being extra clingy, your guy likes you, you dont have to hang on him and be crazy about it, show him you like him that much everyday, not just Valentines day!
In short, love is love. If you need a holiday to show someone you love them, you dont deserve it. I have no objections with people doing really special stuff, but it this is the only day of the year you buy flowers or act reall sweet and loveable why bother? Your not being real or truthful, your acting.
I love you Becca Mae! Happy Valentines Day!

Nerd at large, education for the masses
D&D or Dungeons and Dragons is a wonderful game and should be played by all.
Go back, reread that. You saw exactly what I wrote, D&D is amazing.
Now many of you are scoffing. What ridiculus nonsense is this? A horrendous nerd game!
It brings to mind so many stereotypes of jocks in high school.
You can do ANYTHING, the guy running the game is kinda like a lenient God meant to test your smarts, wit, smarm and ability to think on your feet. What more could you ask for when hanging out with friends?
Keep it in your mind, you may be bored one day, and youll be tempted to try it....just DONT do version 4. Anything before it is cool, but 4 is lame.

0304 and Im still up
As is eventual I have a late night when it isnt truly needed, but is definatly desired. Something about the late night relaxes me and allows me to think the most. Life has TRULY been a trip lately. If I mean an acid trip or a vacation is truly the question. Its been a long while since ive blogged so lets do a little update shall we?
#1 I proposed to Becca Mae Heller, the love of my life
#2 She said yes.....Thank God
#3 She is home from Liberty
#4 Ive been doing night shift AND day shift for 2 months....maybe 3 not entirely sure
#5 Im exhausted constantly
#6 Oh and I joined a gym
These seem to be the most important things....oh yeah and I gradumacated from HCC, theres that too.
On to buisness the deep thoughts, or as proffesionals call it, Philosophy.
I find that my closest friends are.....lets say, aggitating me. I love them all dearly and would do anything for them, but curses they seem to be mashing my buttons rather then just pushing them....is it because Im always tired and am slightly more prone to offense? Yes. Is it because the situations where it is happening cause me more ire than usual? Yes. Is it also because Im finally snapping out of pure frustration and "I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE" modes? You bet your ass it is.
On another completely new side note....long distance relationships suck, alot. If youve never been in one, pray to God for mercy. If youve been in one, you understand. If your going through one, im praying for you. It truly finds interesting kinks in any relationship and causes serious temporal issues. If that statement made no sense, HA HA you werent meant to get it.
I had another thought and lost it.....im currently waiting for it to return.....
2 mins later and it returns!
I am slowly finding that God and I are never on the same page....mostly this is my issue. I find that the longer I search and talk to God the less answers I get to my questions. Me being a very goal oriented and curious person am absolutely INFURIATED by this. Me still being me, walks away and decides to forage my own path. Smart? No. Helpful? No. Prideful? Yes. Does it make me feel better? OH YEAH......until moments like these where I feel like a 5 year old lost in a wood known to be infested with wolves.....might as well tie a steak to my leg....
And also on that note, does anyone have advice, commentary, suggestions, help! they would like to provide on my last paragraph? Seriously I love God, he is absolutely wonderful, I just cant help but think/feel sometimes like ive been abandoned. I know he doesnt reveal everything, but curse it all I cant stand to feel like I have 3 puzzle pieces that dont fit and then suddenly one of them turns into an icecube.
And that, I must say, is all for the night. Im tired, its 0318 and im ready for bed, plus im headed to the gym in the AM even if the getting up for it kills me.
And on that note I wish you all a goodnight!

....Work is getting to me a bit
I am not really sure what I want to write here, but I think im going to to discuss something from work.
WHY do people get angry at the grocery store? For the what purpose do you get so beligerently angry that you need to yell at the workers at the grocery store? Why get nasty and rude when you know your going to get what you want anyway.....WHY!?
Idk...im done for the night lol

Anger, and the cure
Let me start once again with a little knowledge.
Love and Hate are not opposites, more like estranged brothers. Not sure what movie I picked it up from, but its true. What hurts more; Being berated by a stranger or a loved one? Obvious answer, the loved one. They are closer and mean more to you. This also explains why when we are upset with a loved one the emotion is stronger.
From hate stems anger. But what is the cure to anger and hate? Love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails.
And so ends my lesson. Live and Love, not hate.

Night shift and philosophy, whoda thunk it?
Lets start with a little knowledge shall we? I have minor anxiety attacks, most people have felt anxiety...ya know gut wrenching, nervous, heart feels like it stops beating stressed out feeling.
My lovely lady friend is going away to college soon....yes I knew about this before hand. Its gonna be hard, we both know this, but it doesnt make it any easier ya know?
Ive been reading one of my favorite books series called "The First Law" and honestly its amazing. One character in particular comes to mind, merely for the life lessons he was taught by his father, which always seem to come up.
#1 "You have to be realistic"
HA HA HA. If you know me, then you know realistic doesnt exist. We will beat the odds, end of story.
#2 "You can never have too many knives"
Honestly, best statement ever made....and its true, but we will get into that later.
#3 "Its better to do it, than to live with the fear of it"
Let me tell you folks, im scared to death. The words "committed relationship" send shivers down my spine as it is, but the words "committed long distance relationship" have my feeling like my stomach might turn inside out. Funny thing is, I dont care. Come August I will be a gibbering mess and will need all the help and support my friends can provide. But were gonna do it. Fear can take a long walk off a short cliff, cause nothing short of divine intervention is going to scare me anymore.
Heres a message for all you teenagers out there. Life is what you make it. Drown in your self pity and worries for all I care. Yes I know some of you have major worries and problems. Yes I know its hard. Yes parents are the problem most of the time. But it gets better. Pray. Pray long and pray hard. And this may sound bad, but do it yourself, to the best of your ability anyway. If you wait around on God you may be a bit disappointed, he may be testing you to see if you want it bad enough. So go ahead. Take that risk, suffer the anxiety, and throw away the fear. If you fail you at least know you did everything in your power. Life is all about choices, when are you going to make yours?

So to all the parents that may or may not read this: Do you know what the difference between advice and lecturing is?
The answer......Your attitude.
But wait, you may say, how does my attitude affect what im saying!?....well duh, your child percieves it differently.
For instance, if you sit down with your kid, and talk to them as equals....or even NOT TALK DOWN TO THEM, ya know the "You havent screwed up yet but you will so this is what you should do" attitude, you will find they are much more perceptive.
The difference is when it seems like a kid has no choice, we will make one for ourselves, to ignore you and do what we want. HOWEVER, if it is explained to us rationally, and with our freedom AND dignity intact we are more perceptive to the ideas given and will at least think about it rather than dismiss it outright.....just sayin.
