It's because guys' secret favorite color is Fusia...
No joke...I have these fusia pants that at the end of the day never fail to get me a date. lol. I still can't believe it! I'm talking about ordinary corduroy-fusia-colored pants, but with ultra-super-sonic-seductive powers or something!
The fist time it happened I was like, "No way..." I thought to myself as I slipped them on that morning, "Gosh I really look like a dork, but no matter, I'm going to class to learn not to hook-up or anything." By the end of physics class though this cute guy approached me and rather romantically asked me out on a date. haha. Now the date didn't go to well, but the point is that the fusia pants got me the date in the first place. Maybe I should have worn them that night too come to think of it?
The second time I was getting dressed to go to work and the only clean pair of pants were the fusia ones. So, I quickly started rummaging through the dirty-close hamper to see if there was anything with just a slight odor that I could get away with wearing without stinking up the call center. Um, their wasn't. Seeing as how I was running late already I slipped the fusia pants on again and out the door I went. On my way to work though I saw a 7-eleven just calling my name to come in and buy something so I thought, "no harm, get a drink, and get out." Well, what I thought was going to be a quick stop turned out to be a 15-minute encounter with some guy that "swore" he knew me from somewhere, "Are you from San Antonio? What about Ft. Worth? Did you go to this school? What about that school? Yada yada yada... Then, finally the big question, "So how 'bout you let me take you out to dinner...or we can go to a movie?" That's when it dawned on me...(pssst! It's the pants dum-dum). I dropped my head down to glance at my pants and they looked especially gleamy that afternoon (I thought so anyways). I ruefully had to decline his offer this time around.
There hasn't been a third encounter with my fusia-pants yet...I need to ponder over a little on this new found power so I'm trully nsync with it next time I have a perfectly good gentleman ask me out. I just love the fact that when I wear the pants it gives me an advantage. Pffff! One thing is for sure...it's because guys' secret favorite color is fusia that they feel drawn to approach me. haha.
Finally...I get through to the Bobby Bones Show!
So, me and my Dad are leaving town to get my inspection sticker in Waco b/c they don't have as many emission laws as Austin. It turns out that the Gas invested in the trip plus the cost of inspection itself still turns out cheaper than Austin's price. And to top things off, I actually pass inspection!! Yay for me. So on our way out we were listening to the Bobby Bones Show...
The segment they did was on some "truth-test" game where a caller sets-up a prank on a friend or relative to find out the "truth" about something they've been dying to know. So, this particular test was an older brother setting-up a scenario on his younger brother to find out if he is really Gay or not. The whole time I thought it was going to bomb and my Dad was like, "No way this is going to work!" Well, to our surprise the prank DOES work, the truth is revealed, (all in good fun), and the segment was incredibly entertaining.
Now, I've never seen my Dad so excited...he was beside himself about the whole call. When Bobby asked his listeners to call in and comment my Dad was begging me to call on the show. lol. So the first time I called in I could never get through. The second time my call disconnected. But the third time I finally got through. haha. I sounded like a dork, I know. That was the first time I was actually successful at getting through so I was too concerned about no sounding stupid. O'well. Next time will be better.
So why can't I be confrontational AND love Jesus? Just because I love Jesus doesn't mean I don't EVER get angry or talk back or raise my voice or am any less human for that matter. Plus, there are many people in the Bible that are confrontational, but that God chooses as instruments to send his message...(Moses, Jonah, Isaiah, Hosea, the man that told Eli about his wicked sons, Noah, etc.) And these "instruments" are'nt saying they're perfect, by no means. They're just having to relay the message. These people aren't particularly the favorites of the crowd, but someone has do it, right? As long as it's in a loving way deep-down inside, Right?
The only reason that I bring this to your attention is that I had a disturbing comment on my Statesman blog. I keep an Austin American Statesman blog because I blog mostly at work where blogspot/xanga are on the list of banned websites; therefore, I just copy and paste later. This comment was
so piercing and personal like Hebrews 4:12...for sure I thought this person
knew me because it was such a harsh judgement for someone you know nothing about. After some reflection, I decided to approve the comment anyway...I didn't take it personally and I thought that although it was really foward there was some truth in it. Maybe. My parents taught me to leave the bad and take the good. And that's exactly what I did. The comment is below for you to see (regarding the post, "A Jerk, Lil' O me...No Way"):
I Don't Understand...I'm confused.
You're supposed to be a Christian and worried about your testimony but you admit you willingly and knowingly act like a jerk, rude and confrontational? And you do this in front of your mother, against her wishes, when a good Christian is supposed to honor their parents and abide by their will? Hmmm...interesting life testimony you're putting out here for all to read. Is this the message you truly want to send out about your life? Or are you trying to show that even though you'd like to have a strong testimony and be a good witness you are just too lazy to do the hard work and make the grade?

Comment appreciated.
Ouch. That hurt. You probably thought I wasn't going to approve this comment. And at first I wasn't, but I had some time to think about it. In fact, I truly appreciate what you had to say. I agree with you 100% (about my testimony and what truth I'm conveying to others on this blog). My intentions though on this blog were to convey to people that I'm normal, I fall short sometimes, and I go through all the tribulations and tests God sends our way, Christian or not. I openely write about my faults, because I want people to know that I'm NOT perfect and I struggle to be Christ-like LIKE any other person that claims to be Christian. I don't pretend to be blameless. I know what I told Zuriel was very foward and borderline wrong. If you read my other blogs you can see I write more about Zuriel and what I learn from the experience of him living with us. Thank you again for your feedback. I welcome all constructive criticism. I always say that if it hurts, there's some truth to it. I hope this ameliorates my testimony somewhat.
