Big Day Manana!

I wish I may, I wish I might, finally type a blog post tonight!

Hurray! Wish came true! :)

Yo yo, wassup my peeps?

 Long time no talk! Well I'm back. Sorry, I always forget to stay in touch whenever I find a new show I really like on Netflix. This past week's obsession was Kyle XY.

You see, I call it Accelerated Media Education also known as AME.

"Why Austin! Accelerated Media Education sounds wonderful! But what is it?"

Simple. I watch shows that have already came out on Season DVD's on Netflix. By doing so, not only do I avoid any stupid evil commercials altogether but I do not have to wait for the next episode on a week to week basis.

Here is the corresponding mathematics for my new method of watching television:

The average show lasts for about 4 seasons. Each season has approximately 12 episodes. At night, after I have finished all of my other work, I watch about 3 episodes. Without commercials, the duration of the show is cut down to a little less than 43 minutes.

Assuming the broadcasting company airs one season each year, it will take the average person 4 years to finish the series and they will spend an estimated 2,880 minutes in front of a screen.

With my method, it takes me about 16 days to finish a series. And I knock out over 800 minutes by not watching commercials that irritate me.

All of the "morals" and "life lessons" that are talked about at the end of each episode, I learn in a little over two weeks...rather than four years.

And yes, obviously, I don't have to watch these shows at all, but I want to go into acting, writing, directing, and producing so I like all of this stuff. I've learned things from watching different shows. I get new ideas for things I might want to create some day. I gain new input and understanding. Plus it helps me relax at the end of the night.

So that's the subject for tonight, Accelerated Media Education.

Oh, and I have a big job interview tomorrow morning. I guess that's important too. :) So pray for that!

Love you all! Goodnight! <3

Party Time! + Japanese Art Festival

Hey gang! Hope life is going swell! :D

Last night was TONS of fun. It was my first time helping out with the 360 RED Crew and I had a great time. We basically just go to parties at ASU and hand out otter pops, donuts, and water and just hang out. Then I guess they also come by in the mornings and clean up afterward and make pancakes for everyone and all that haha. It sounds like a lot of fun.

So that was my Friday night. Then this morning/today I went to a Japanese art festival with Denisse Leon and then Kenedy, Christian, and Kylee (I'm sorry if I misspelled anyone's name). That was quite a good time! We danced some we watched some Japanese sword swinging, and then listened to some Japanese drumming, then watched some Japanese dances and even partook in the dancing ourselves!! :)

Then we went and picked up/cheered on the girls' parents, Michelle and Aaron Dunn. They were part of this awesome marathon in which they had 12 members on their running team and together, taking turns, ran a total of 200 miles over the course of about 40 hours! Each persons does about three sets of 6 miles throughout the day and night. It is CRAZY!

Well my fingers hurt from playing guitar so I'm going to stop typing :) have a good night my friends! I love you all and look forward to hearing from you soon! <3

Quick Update

This will be a quick update tonight because I'm tired and trying to get some Bible study time in but I don't want to leave you all hanging! :)

Today I met with Pastor Brad, Pastor Aaron, and Paige Garrett to talk about a few things.

Mainly Paige was talking to them about her story and some ideas she had and plans she wants to see come to pass.

Paige is an awesome lady. She has been really cool and really supportive. We went out to lunch today and she says that she wants to help mentor me and train me and help invest in my future. That sounds incredible to me. God knows I need all the help I can get! ;) haha so I know God is going to use this new friendship for His glory!

I have really enjoyed helping out at PFA and would LOOOVE to work there. The staff is incredible. Pastor Aaron and Michelle Dunn are really fun and cool! And Denisse Leon is such a rad girl with a heart for God! I am loving getting to learn from her and I am excited for all the fun that the four of us will hopefully have in the future!

I'll let you know more when I know more! :)

Love you all! Goodnight.

Twitter and Those Chinese Massages.

So this morning, Denisse help me set up a Twitter acount! If you want to follow me, my username is austinbeals57. Pretty simple. And....no. Do not ask me to explain to you how to use twitter. I barely use it myself so I will not teach you. Sorry, I love you, but don't ask.

<3 Also I practiced guitar today. This is what I have so far:

I talked to Carson Green today and that was super cool 'cause he's an awesome guy and I love him a lot!!

Last night, after I crawled into bed, I had this cool idea for a tv series but it is kind of "out there." It is about a present day super hero who randomly gets shot back into medieval times with swords, magic, and kingdoms. He has to simultaneously live these two lives as he uncontrollably gets transported two and from these two separate worlds. There would be certain parallels between the worlds like in the future world, his wife would be dead, but in this medieval would he is a part of now, one of the main female roles is played by the same actress as his wife. Little things like that, that will allure to a seemingly strong connection between these two worlds. If it was well-written and casted right, I'd watch it! :D

Also tonight we watched an interesting movie about a Chinese girl who has to make a living in a "massage parlor" in Chinatown New York, but she has too much dignity to fool around with the customers so she if forced to do all of the chores and labor. It is basically like a really weird Chinese Cinderella movie, but we all liked it! Very well done.

So that was my day! Hopefully I wake up tomorrow and can start a new one! :D

Goodnight!

'Ello Mates!

Today (and the past few days) have been pretty good!

I learned to play a song on guitar today. I learned Country Road Take Me Home. Great song. I originally picked it because it is slow so people wouldn't be able to notice how much time it takes me to switch between chords :) I realized a little bit ago how much relevance it holds toward my life.

I really do love Coeur d'Alene. It's home. Along with the surrounding area. I am REALLY enjoying my time here. And even if I stay longer, I am open for that too. But if I'm here for a few years, I'm still looking forward to going home.

There is something magical about when you find where you belong. Home is where your heart is and home is in the 208 :)

I've been spending the past few days helping out at PFA! I've been working with Denisse Leon. She's a really cool girl! She does all the graphics and web design work for PFA and she has a TON on her shoulders. It would be cool to help her with all of that work. I'll keep you guys updated on the job status. Right now, we're just trying to get a history established with me and the team so they have something to work off of when HR asks about me. They can't talk about how great of a worker I am if they've never worked with me! :)

Anyways, life is great. God is amazing. And I am SUPER stoked for the Kari Jobe concert coming up! That should be really cool. I will meet her and say Hi for my mom. Depending on how old she is, I might ask her on a date. Kari Beals...that has a nice ring to it! (Inside joke)  ;)

Hey guys! It's great talking to you! I miss you all and I hope to see you soon through skype or facebook chat! Alright, buh-bye friends!

So the big news...

So there's this "big news" I've been mentioning, and I kind of just want to get it out on the table.

I'm going to go Facebook-Public but I figured a slow introduction through my blog would be better. Nothing is absolute or definite, but I have been offered a possible position at Phoenix First Assemblies.

We have not worked out details, so I'm not sure if I would be full-time or part-time, but most likely I would be moving to Phoenix for a few more years.

I know this may be a total shock and I wasn't planning it when I left so I didn't really say goodbye to many of my friends and family because I knew that I would be back home soon. Well...maybe not?

Haha, we are going to decide something probably in the next few days. If it is for certain that my working here is mutually beneficial to both myself and PFA, and I feel God instructing me to stay here, then I will announce it on Facebook and start telling those close to me.

That's mostly what is on my mind tonight. So if you pray, please pray it goes well. If you don't pray, you really should. God is amazing and wants to be there for you and will NEVER let you down.

I love you all!! :) Goodnight!

BAM BOOM BANG!!

Hey. What's up? Agent Nightfire here. Why, yes. I am a secret agent. Why do you ask? Oh yes, I do know how to use various firearms. Oh, you don't believe me? Would you like proof? Take note though: this is top secret government information and if you spread it, I will slit your throat. Mind you, I will do it out of love and loyalty to my country. Nothing personal, it's just business. :)

So, this is how I spent my day!

Mucho divertido! (Or as my white friends say, "Very fun!")

Also, I have taken up quite a fancy for classical music. Mostly Mozart. As I type this I am currently enjoying Mozart's #40 in G Minor. Exquisitely lovely if I do say so myself. Oh, and I do say so myself.

Powerful guns and classical music have been my forte for the day! (Pun very well intended)

:)

This message will self destruct in 99...98...97...96...
