what’s next?
“There will be books written about Harry – every child in our world will know his name!”
Anyone know where that quote is from? If you guessed Harry Potter, kudos to you!
I just started reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone again for like the 5th time (you could say I’m a fan of the books) and came across this quote from the first chapter. It’s when Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall are waiting for Hagrid to deliver little baby Harry to the Dursleys, and McGonagall says this to Dumbledore. Kind of ironic when you think about it, cause it’s pretty much come true in this, our real world.
But it got me thinking, what will I be remembered for? Harry’s known for being the “the boy who lived” and defeating Voldemort; JKR’s most famously known for writing the Harry Potter series. But what about me?
I guess I’m thinking about this because I’m at yet another crossroads in my life. Just finished university and have the rest of my life before me. Exciting times, definitely, but it would be nice if I had a clue about where I’m going or what I even want to do. There’s only one thing I know for sure, I want to be of service to others. Unfortunately, that’s about as vague as you can get when it comes to direction in life. I’m sure I’ll discover my niche in this world sooner or later, but I’m hoping it will be sooner rather than later. Here’s to the beginning of the rest of my life. 
What about you? What are your passions? How would you like to be remembered?
long weekends and patio nights
It’s been a while since I’ve written anything, so here’s a little update. Went home last weekend for the long weekend. Lots of fun and rest. Good home cooking. Saw Talladega nights with Jeff & Peters. Good times. “Watch your mouth, you little pot-licker, or I’ll throw you in a microwave!” Ran into Phil at the train station and rode back with him and Steve to T dot. We actually got into a serious conversation about the Harry Potter books and whether or not Snape is evil and if Dumbledore is dead or not. Kind of funny now that I think about it, never thought I’d have such a serious conversation about a kids book.
Back at work on Tuesday. Almost done, couple more weeks. Pretty uneventful since Tuesday except for last night. Went out to eat with Niki, Gizelle, Jon Shui & Andrea after worship practice at Thai Paradise. Perfect weather for eating on the patio. Great idea Jon! I even got a free meal out of it. All I had to do was eat the remaining hot sauce. mmmm….paid for that today in the washroom…ah well, it was worth it.
Testing out this new browser, Flock. An all in one browser where I’m suppose to be able to blog and post photos right from the browser directly. So far so good.
Gonna sign off with a hilarious article found today: Optimus Prime

These are probably more interesting than mine too since some have captions. I’m always too lazy to put captions in.
