Well, “Operation Find A House” Has begun. I am now actively looking for a house to purchase in Duluth for this next school year.  So if you could keep me in your prayers, that I can get the financing, and that I can find a house in time so that I don’t spend too much time as a ‘homeless college student’ once schol starts.

Well, I just got back from Sonshine 2004!  It was awesome!  I saw soo many bands play, but my favorite had to have been Petra.  I’ve been a big Petra fan for a long long time, and this is the first time I’ve seen them live in concert.

Over the weekend, I ended up spending a little too much at Sonshine.  I got about 10 CD’s to help replenish my collection that was stolen a while back.  I got 3 ApologetiX cd’s, 4 Petra cd’s, Reliant K’s new cd, as well as Paul wright’s cd, and the latest from the Supertones.

Over this next week or so, I am going to be updating this site. I’ll be adding a bunch of pics and vids, as well as some other content pages etc.  Well, at least I’m planning on working on this site, whether I actually have time is another thing.

Now that I’m getting into the swing of things for the summer, I’m really getting busy.  On my list of current projects, I’m coding a custom inventory system for Granite International, a company in St. Cloud who sells granite and monuments.  As well as putting together an online store for King Roses in Minneapolis so they can sell their roses online.  I also am working on a network of sites call The City Group, which so far consists of thegamecity.com, thelancity.com, themodcity.com, thecheatcity.com and thecarcity.com.  I’m also going to be re-working thegamelan.com, and possibly even giving amishgeek.com a makeover.  I also am putting up a wallpaper site called wallpapered.net.

So these next few weeks will be really busy online, along with working for my mom doing handyman stuff around the duplex still, and interning with youthquake.  Oh, and I’m doing youthquakes website as well.  On top of that, I am a recent addict to this new game called pristontale, which is an Online RPG.  Oh well..

Well, I’ve been out of school for over a week now, and I’m having trouble adjusting to life back home.  I’m used to the hustle and bustle of life in Duluth.  Its really weird too, because now that I am no longer spending lots of time with my friends, I miss them.  I suppose I kind of took for granted the times I spent with Tony, Koz, Chris, Mark, Katie, Jason, and all the others who I spent time doing things with.  Although, now that school is out here, I’ll be spending more time with YouthQuake working with the youth, so I’m sure that I’ll make new friendships with the kids here and such.

Another weird aspect of being back home, is that I am now finding that I somewhat have idle time where I have nothing to do.  Sure, I could sit on my computer and work on stuff, but I am finding it more difficult to be ambitious enough to do that.  Maybe its because I’m working more physically so I’m wearing myself out.  But I’ve watched a lot of Star Trek TNG, and VH1 lately.  I watched the whole Surviving Nugent 2: Ted Commandments on VH1 last night.  That was a pretty funny reality TV show.  It was about 10 contestants who had to survive living on Ted Nugents ranch and he put them through sort of a boot camp style situations etc.  It was quite entertaining.

Well, off to stare at my screen some more, listen to techno, and think about working on websites.

So I’m finally done with school for the semester   But it looks like I’ll be re-taking some classes due to the D+, D+ and D. Oh well, I’m just glad to be done with it.  Now I’m getting ready for chapter camp.

I got the details on my online store venture with TekMeds.  I’m going to be an online pharmacy!  My domain is going to be UberMeds.com, its not set up yet, but it will be soon.  Hopefully I’ll be able to get caught up on my bills with this venture, and produce a decent revenue stream for the future.

I’m looking forward to being home for the summer, I’ll be able to spend time with my family, and focus on growing my business.  Hopefully I’ll be able to find time to blog more to amishgeek.com and fill out some more content in the pages.  Maybe I’ll write some tutorials or something silly like that.

For now,

So, right now, I am in a little bit of a financial crisis.  I am currently about 2 months behind on my rent, and I have my car insurance due at the end of the month.  My one checking account is negative, and my other has $20.  So right now I am just praying and putting my trust in God that all of my financial needs will be met.  If people want to help me out, you can use the donate button on the right, or you can refer people to Utaria.net and tell them to sign up for hosting.  If I get more customers, my monthly income will go up, and I will have an easier time paying the bills.

I am also going to be selling several computers that I have to help raise funds for my bills.

Please keep me and my financial situation in your prayers,

~Amish

I am beginning to get sick of school and all the group projects/homework that I have.  I can’t wait till summer, then I get to live at home with my parents (for the first time since high-school, which was 3 years ago).  I’ll be able to focus more time on growing my business and the many other ventures that I have.

Most recently, I just finished putting up the beginning of 123bands.com which is an online community and host for bands, fans and groupies.  I hope to grow this site to become a valuable resource for people who have bands, along with fostering it into a strong online community.

Well, its late, I should go to bed, I should be working on my homework/projects, but meh… who knows what I’ll do?

For now-

Well, yesterday was another lovely Easter Sunday.  I always like easter, as it is a time to spend time with family, and remember that Jesus Christ our Lord has Risen from the grave and conquered sin.  I had a good weekend, spending time with my family, I got a little bit of work done on some websites thanks to my New Laptop   After Church on Sunday, we went to my Aunt Vernice’s house where I ate too much good food, and then some of us went out back and shot off my Uncle Verlin’s .22 Pistol that he brought.

After lunch, I headed back to Duluth, but swung by Princeton to see my Girlfriend and meet her family.  They’re pretty cool people too.  After a few hours hanging out there, I made my way back to Duluth.

Now here I sit, Monday evening, working away at the Helpdesk.  Maybe now that I have a laptop, I can get more work done… but then again, maybe not?

Well, over the next week or so, I, along with the other new Exec members will be stepping up into our leadership positions in Intervarsity.  So we will need prayer about that for the next year.  I am excitied, as God has many wonderful things planned for this next year, and I pray that I we can be tools in his hand to be a witness to our campus.

I’m also looking forward to going home for the summer, as I will be doing an internship with YouthQuake.  I’m also really excited about being a part with what God is doing in my hometown with the youth there.  I also hope to disciple some of the kids that are planning on coming to Duluth for school next year to build a relationship with them that can continue after the summer.

Among all the other things going on amidst the clutter and confusion which is life, I can say that I am at peace.  Reading through John right now, I am gaining a whole new perspective on Jesus’s ministry here on earth.  Also reading in 1 Peter about living right for God has really put a burden on my heart to lead a small group next year on Holiness…  All in all, I’m doing good 

In His Grip,
~Amish

So I’ve been asked to be on Exec/Student leadership team for InterVarsity next year.  I’m excited, God’s going to do some amazing things this next year.  We have our first Exec meeting (the new crew) in a few weeks to do some team builing and plan for the next year.

I’ve updated some things on the site.  Added some new videos that I picked up from my friend marc.  They’re in the Cool Stuff link.  I’ll be working on this site more as I have time.

Thats all for now, move along!
