So I started the "vlog". I've only done 2 episodes and they're both very short. You can see them at jgvaldeezy.tumblr.com
I'm really bad about keeping up with anything but Facebook right now.
We went to a Honda dealer last night and test drove a car we love... We haggled, then walked away... now we're waiting. I'm hoping this is the car God wants us to have because I loved it! It's a 2010 Honda CRV with leather interior (which wasn't my first choice), sun/moon roof, heated seats, blah blah blah.
That's not what I liked about it.
It drives like a dream, I CAN drive it (the scion we own is manual which I can't do), there's soooo much more space in it, it's safe, and IT'S A HONDA! I'm a hardcore advocate for Honda. If you take care of it, the car will last you till 300 thousand miles where others you're lucky if it lives to 200.
Anyway... I've been tired. I need vitamins.
We're still overcoming our circumstances with God at the wheel. He's good like that.
Went to a SF Giants game with my cousins last week... LOVED IT! I love the Giants and my cousins so it was great.
Beach Camp with the youth kids is in 2 weeks. The girls will be split up which I'm not excited about, but it'll be fine. They're both in caring, more than capable hands.
Now I'm just blabbering.
End post.

Be the change.
So much for this "try harder" business huh?
I am thinking about starting a Vlog series on my journey into the world of animation. It's something that God has been kind of shoving in my face, so I'm thinking about documenting it. Ultimate goal of it all: work at Pixar(or Walt Disney Studios). This is going to take years and years of practice, school, etc, but as long as it's God breathed, it will be worth it in the long run.
Here's the thing:
It irritates the crap out of me when people talk about Disney being "demonic" and "anti-God". Let's get a few things straight:
Walt Disney Animation (classic Disney movies) have a tendency to drift more towards the less-pure side of things. Not Pixar. Pixar has a history of keeping their films as innocent & child like as possible, but while creating a happy medium for adults as well. Besides that, you can let kids watch classic Disney movies and still protect them from anything that might creep them out. Don't be a religious baby.
Be the freaking change.
My goal to work for Pixar or even Walt Disney Studios is to be effective for the kingdom of God. Not to hide my beliefs or to agree with everything they put out there. Being effective in a safe church setting is one thing, but it's not what we're called to do. I want to change lives, and I feel like this is something God has put in my heart from birth.
Wow... This is NOT where I expected this post to go. I didn't expect to put all this stuff out there, but now I guess I have to be accountable. Right? Right.
It's not for sure anyway. It's something we're praying about and I'm dipping my toes in the water, not jumping into the pool.
