Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes Yes Lord...

YES man and Christmas blessings...

I wanted to capitalize ALL letters in that "YES" as to not make things so obvious... Hehe, it reminds me of our Apostles' cheer too ;) I hope all these EXTRA blessings this particular Christmas are a result of my submission to Him. First the lack of choices in full of action (as it is part of assisting in keeping my eyes sharp after my Ortho-C, 'CORRECTING' contacts :) ) wanting to pick a movie to relax, I ended up watching "YES MAN"... AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!

There is a bit of bad news, but maybe it's just my interpretation, perhaps it really is GOOD NEWS afterall... My cAr is having some issues still and the other car I was planning to switch over to a hold-me-over turns out to be a scam even though I was thinking it might be legit as he might be having trouble selling it without a radio and ABS sensors which I was planning to strip from my car since it's easier labour wise and I just got at least two new sensors last year and they are expensive...Oh well, guess I'm stuck with my cAr for the short run as I weighed the alternatives and because of insurance and everything and the market for used cars being so bad right now (not that it really affects me as much if the car is not as valuable)... but the cAr is reliable, it never has failed to start on me for over 4 years even though it's older than some other cars that have failed to start on people... And it has only been a safety issue maybe TWICE in the 7 years I've driven it and the first time wasn't even really the car's fault when I had to swerve in an emergency to avoid another dumb driver who cut me off (even though there were no other cars around except me, don't assume just cause the weather nobody's comming buddy... plus I drive a dark coloured car that sticks out like a sore thumb when the road's covered with snow) and I drifted into the guardrail as the QEW, going downhill also has no shouder lane and maybe I happen to be going over one of those pavement inperfections at the time...

Going along those lines, being a Christian for so long, I tend to wanna side to the "positive" outlook on life... I know that it may not seem SO "positive" initially, but hear me out on what I mean, even if you're not Christian and am a bit confused initially... Maybe as I mentioned in my other entry which I guess I will post back up... it is good I have to keep the car as I believe I have been losing some sleep over it lately, admist all the other things that could be causing me to lose sleep lately, I at least can keep one good thing in my life, and one thing that I love, and that may end up being my bAby Accord... zoom zoom... she's not much to most people, somewhat old... not very powerful... but still lighter than the 5th Generation Prelude and more powerful than a Civic :) Plus one of the best FF cars ever made, former rally car and handles like a dream in the snow apparently now that I've added winter tires because my all seasons after 4 years and over 75,000kms are starting to get somewhat worn...

A part of me wonders if maybe this is for the best, afterall, I hear the comming year is a good year for the used car market and as well new car prices are lower which is the reason for the drop on used cars too I was told. Plus I have been considering test driving the Accord Hybrid to see if I like it. The good news at least is it doesn't share the same smiled face tail/trunk lights combo as the other Accords of that day (don't like those).

I have been given a few suggestions on what to do with the whole car situation, for the time being, I'm gonna keep using it and see if maybe I can get some used body panels (if in good condition) from a junkyard next year as I heard they aren't open during the winter months.

One of the main themes of YES MAN (hehe I'll try to keep the spoilers to a minimum) is that we ought to say YES to life and embrace the opportunities that come our way. I started this entry last week but I can't remember everything I wanted to mention here... I am reminded also of the sermon at Urbana 2006 where the lady was saying we ought to say "YES" to God and somewhere along the line, our yes turned into "maybe" and then "we settled"... "And where we settle is where we'll die... I'm telling you don't settle..." Aside from the one I mentioned in my Dark K entry, there was a girl in the past I did not really act like "yes man" with and didn't really seize the opportunity to pursue marriage with her. Although perhaps the opportunity never really existed, but a part of me feels because she knew the other girl that she felt the two of us would never work out or perhaps shouldn't...

But I am willing to say "yes" now, to be open to the possibility of opening myself wholeheartedely to her if she'll still have me... I just pray I'm not too late...Perhaps she never was interested in a romance and still isn't... So much time has passed since we were last friends who talked regularly, the only thing I really want is for a chance to get to know her again...
