What time is it, again? Why, it's time for Joshua's SODA REVIEWWWWW! On today's episode, I have selected four--count 'em: one, two, three, four--carbonated beverages that yours truly has sampled recently. I have even ranked them from most to least liked. Yay. Yes, I grabbed all these from Big Lots!, again.:)
Starting from the left, the tastiest. Steaz Organic Sparkling Green Tea Orange. Possibly the best tasting soda I've ever laid lips on. It also rivals Hansen's Natural Green Tea Soda Pomegranate in the name length category. Hahaha. There were actually several flavors there, but orange was the first one I saw, and since none of the others made sufficient argument to be tried first instead, I stayed with my first. Glad I did. :)
Izze Sparkling Grapefruit. Dad actually picked this one out. Another winner. It smells and tastes like grapefruit. Which is good, since it says "sparkling *grapefruit*". :P Kind of interestingly bitter like the previously mentioned Hansen's. I'd certainly drink it again.
Mediocre. That's the word for Fizz Ed Green Apple. Especially since it doesn't taste a thing like green apple. It tastes like grape. Probably because it also has grape juice in it, among other things. Cheap. Cheeeeeeap (as in quality, not price).
And... Izze Sparkling Pomegranate. Yuck. This was actually picked out by mistake. Thinking to get some more of the yummy grapefruit, this was selected unintentionally (seriously, look at the difference [lack of] in packaging). It smelt terrible on top of tasting nasty. And flat. Oh, it was carbonated, but it *tasted* flat. And it also didn't taste like pomegranate. Why? Looking at the ingredients, they were nearly identical to the so called "green apple" ingredients. Same company, too: Ball. Where did pomegranate juice fall in the list? Second to last, right above acerola. Which I'm sure wasn't much.
The top two were definitely wins (especially Steaz OSGTO); the latter two were most definitely fails (ESPECIALLY Izze Sparkling "Pomegranate").
Wow...I've already written more than I did in 2006 (9k vs 11k), and it's still January. Hahaha. :)

So I'm in my room, fresh out of the shower--still naked mind you--belting out this huge solo, when I glance at myself in the mirror and stop, thinking, "The house is empty, right?" :D

Behold, I send you out like lambs into the midst of wolves (Luke 10:3).
And how many of us start complaining when things get difficult? Yes, the Lord knowingly and purposely put you in dire circumstances. Learn to trust Him in spite of your circumstances. Praise the Lord!

Funny how a dream can change your perception of a person. Or...maybe it just tells you what you're really thinking. Had a dream about a pretty girl last night. A pretty girl...that I thought was kind of a snot. But she was hilarious in my dream, and wonderfully friendly. Our class had just graduated from something, and walking beside her to the reception to eat, she picked me up by one arm and kept walking. Not really "swept off my feet", but it's the general idea, I think. :D
At the same time, I think it's unfortunate when a person reminds you of another person. Kind of cheapens it.

Come and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up. Yes, let us know Him; let us be zealous to know the Lord.

Hahaha. Today is my old friend's birthday. What's a better present than an old memory, right? A lot of things? Sure...probably. But this will have to do, this time. :) Happy birthday, man.
Man, if this didn't have a heavy Final Fantasy influence... So what do you think of the emblem of your kingdom? A little bizarre. Not exactly sure what I was thinking, at the time. :D And "infinate" gold. That must be nice. You must just make it like a certain government, or something. :P I didn't dig around to find a picture of your wife: "Warrior Woman". Which is probably good, because I drew her even more poorly than you! :D Hahaha.
The Lord bless you on your birthday, Derrick.

Some of my favorite pictures--especially the latter one. I put these in the Scrapbook.
The first one even had the date on the back: 20030716 (although I wrote it like this at the time: 7.16.2003). I drew this one Wednesday or Sunday night, at church, with the kids. I love the smell of crayons--especially a freshly opened box of Crayolas. Sssssss. Ahhhhh... Really, one of my certain enjoyments. Reminds me of elementary school and the day of shopping before each grade, getting all our school supplies. Fond memories, very fond memories. The name of the picture is "Moonglow", after the name of the specialty crayon in the box that night that inspired the drawing. The crayon used to be florescent, and glowed softly in the light. However, that positive effect has long faded. I really enjoyed looking at it in the parking lot that night, though.
The second one was drew in the midst of a game of Pictionary. I think I nabbed the card "employee". That picture's what came out of my head and hand. I supremely like it, too. :D
Funny, two posts and this year's log is already half the file size of 2007. Hahahaha.

All our vows and resolutions end in denial because we have no power to carry them out.

New year, new page. Weee. :P :)
No matter what changes God has wrought in you, never rely upon them, build only on a Person, the Lord Jeus Christ, and on the Spirit He gives.
