My Stupid Mouth

I believe that the song "My Stupid Mouth," by John Mayer, has a lot of meaning to it. I never seem to be able to follow through with the ideals in that song. Well, here is the song that describes my situation down to every last period.

my stupid mouth has got me in trouble
I said too much again
to a date over dinner yesterday
and I could see she was offended
she said "well anyway"
just dying for a subject change

oh, another social casualty
score one more for me
how could I forget
mama said "think before speaking"
no filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

we bit our lips
she looked out the window
rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess
with the salt and pepper shaker
and I could see clearly
an indelible line was drawn
between what was good, what just slipped out
and what went wrong

oh, another social casualty
score one more for me
how could I forget
mama said "think before speaking"
No filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

I'm never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
oh, I'm never speaking up again
starting now

one more thing
why is it my fault?
so maybe I try too hard
but it's all because of this desire
I just want to be liked; I just want to be funny
look like the joke's on me
so call me Captain Backfire

oh, another social casualty
score one more for me
how could I forget
mama said "think before speaking"
no filter in my head
oh, what's a boy to do?
I guess he better find one soon

I'm never speaking up again
it only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery than she desert me
oh, I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
starting now

I Said a Prayer For You Today

This is a poem, I don't know who wrote it, but it was one of my grandma's favorite poems. It has been on our refrigerator for a long time, and I never really read it. But, recently, I read it, and it fits for what I pray for my friends, each and everyday. I love you all!

I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard-
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)-
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way!
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small-
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all!

Well, once again I am just sitting around the house wearing only my boxers. It's nice when I can be that lazy. I have play practice in about an hour. Ben Kramer is going to give me a ride, since my car has absolutely no gas in it. I CAN WRITE CHECKS TOMORROW! YAY! Tomorrow I have play practice, but after that, I am going shopping with Kacie to pick up...some...stuff. Since she is going to come with me, I decided I would take her out for dinner or coffee too. It's going to be fun. Kacie is fun to hang out with, and I haven't gotten to talk to her lately. It'll be a grand old time to catch up on the goings on in hers and my life. I should get in the shower now. Lately, I haven't been shaving because of the laziness of summer, but I am getting tired of looking like a dirty Mexican. I don't think I have let the dirty Mexican mustache grow this long before. It's sicky as Stephanie and Weeza would say. =) Anyway, I am going to go get ready. I love you all very much.

Agent 44

Well, today was the first day of play practice for the summer show. We did all our auditioning today, and even found out what our parts were. I am Agent 44, a secret agent working on the good guy's side. I am stuck with all the grunt jobs like hiding under tables, in garbage cans, and such. I complain a lot about my job, and I often cry. It's going to be a fun role to play. I am looking forward to it. Congrats to Chase for being Maxwell Smart (lead role). Well, I don't want to type anymore. I love you lots.

Free man

Hello all. I am now a free man. I just got done doing two days in the McCain Penitentiary. My mom went on another power trip, and grounded everyone. Today at work I was working, and I heard the song The Reason and it made me smile because of the message behind it. (No comments, Chase) Because of that song, my day was awesome. Work didn't seem like work. It was a wonderful day. After work, I came home and had Subway for supper. Then, I went over to AJ's house to hang out with Nick, AJ, Ashley, and Craig. Then, when AJ kicked us out of her house, we went to Walmart. We walked around a little, and then Chase picked out an expansion pack to Civilization III. Then, we went to the self check-out. It was fun, even though Chase messed it up. Then, we went to Craig's house and sat around, until I had to go home. Now, I am sitting here, waiting for someone to come online, because I want to talk to them. They must be at work... So sad....=(

Love Actually, is all around

Well, last night, I spent the night at Craig's house with Geoff, Chase, and Craig. First, we watched Fight Club, and when that was over, we watched one of the greatest movies ever: Love Actually. If you ever are sad, just watch that movie, and you will be happy. If there is anyone special in your life, you will think of that person so much during that movie, and you will feel like crying just because they aren't with you. Anyway, I am going to stop talking about this. It is making me feel like I want to cry.
Well...today we plan to go see Mr. Pope. Then, we are going to go back to the school for crew call. I hope to be able to talk to or see some certain person today, because I always feel that I need to see them. Anyway, I better get going. I love you. Have a great day, I know I will.

Wonderful Surprises

I don't feel like writing much. I am in an extremely good mood. I worked tonight, and it was an OK mood then, but after work, I found a note on my car, and that made my night so much better. I love surprises like that. They make me want to cry and smile at the same time. Well, I don't have much else to report. I love you, you secret note-leaver. Thanks for everything. Oh yeah, to my other readers, well, I love you too....kinda. LOL

Sean McCain: Ultimate Blogging Trend-setter

Well, it's official. I am a blog trend-setter. The other day, I decided to try the new Audioblogger feature, and guess what? Now everyone has one! It's OK, I can't blame you all for wanting to be like the sexy piece of human flesh that I am. (teehee) Anyway, I have had a wonderful past couple of days. Let's see. Yesterday, I didn't do very much at all. The only thing really worth-while would probably be going over to Weeza's house to watch Mona Lisa Smile, which is a wonderful movie. After the movie, everyone but Chase and I left. Weeza's dad's flight was delayed, so he wouldn't be home until 1ish. So, being the wonderful friend that I am (LOL), decided to make Chase stay (he was my ride)so we could keep her company. She gets scared being alone, and I wouldn't want her to be scared. Anyway, we looked at some pictures of Weeza when she was younger. (Don't worry, these lips are sealed.) Chase played some piano, Weeza played some piano. I listened. Then, we sat around and talked. Her dad came home, so we left. It was a very fun night.
Today, I worked. But, before work, Jenny Roth invited me to coffee with her, Kacie Meyers, and Chelsea Graber. We had a lot of fun. Very nice discussions too. We should hang out again soon. It was tons o' fun. And, then after work, I went to Sherman Park to watch a softball game with the gang. We then, proceeded to Walmart. After Walmart, Chase, Craig, Geoff, and I went on a covert operation, and then we rented Office Space. Very hilarious movie. Well, I am tired of typing. I shall be thinking of all of you. Love you all.

Poem

I was surfing the Internet for poetry, and I came across this one. I didn't write it, but it really made me feel good inside.

So Easy

Whisper to me
The infinite language of our hearts.
Uplift me
With your joyful smile.
It's the little things you do
That make loving you
So easy.

-Emily Coombs

I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Have a nice day. I love you.

Same-sex unions?

Well, today was the day at the Synod Gathering that we started delving into the same-sex ordination and unions. It was a very interesting day. I went to a pro-same-sex workshop, and a anti-same-sex workshop. The anti-homosexual workshop was called: Three contrasting viewpoints of homosexuality. I thought it would provide 3 opposing and supporting viewpoints. Man, was I wrong. I listened to a guy ramble off statistics that said homosexuality was a disease and it was treatable. He also said that the reason we have gay children is because of the school district. He said it encourages them. Well, I disagree with that since I am a student, and I haven't been encouraged to be a homosexual.
On the flip-side, I listened to this ordained minister talk about how the Bible doesn't say that same-gender unions are wrong and immoral. What the Bible does say, however, is that prostitution, the use of callboys, and other sex slaves is immoral and wrong. When the Bible said in Leviticus 20, "When a man lays in a bed with another man, they have both made an abomination." it was referring to the time, in Greek history, when little boys between the ages of 12 and 15 were sold as slaves to be used for sexual acts. There are only 6 verses in the Bible that mention homosexuality, and they are referring to the Greek usage rather than the same-gender unions.
I have listened to both sides of the story, and I believe that same-gender unions should be allowed in the ELCA (the Evangelical Lutheran Churches of America). I have prepared a little speech to say in front of the Synod, and tomorrow, when we discuss the issue, I will be discussing it, and voting pro-same-gender unions and ordination.
There was more I planned on saying, but it will have to wait, since I just forgot what it was. Love all around.

Swirling Mind

I told some people that I would be updating tonight, but my mind is in a swirl. I hope you understand. I did update my quote blog. That might appease your thirst for Sean. LOL I sat down to update my blog, but there were so many things to say, and so many things I don't want to say. I need time to organize them as not to say things I shouldn't. Love you all.

Long time, no...blog?

Well, tonight I decided to update my blogs. This blog, is the first. But, if I don't update the others, oh well, I'll do it when I feel motivated. Today was a good day. I woke up around 10ish and did nothing all morning. It was very relaxing. Well, before I get started with my actual events of the day, I will just talk about some other things. Recently, I heard some information from a friend of mine that explained a lot of the occurances going on in my social life. It really lets me know why certain people do certain things at certain times. Some things just never change. Sound vague? Good. Thanks Jacob.
Onto more important points of conversation. Isn't it fun to watch the grass grow? Just kidding. I got ready for the day by taking a shower and getting dressed in my studly Express shirt. I proceeded by waiting for Geoff and Craig's phone call. Meanwhile, my dad told me to get a check from him and get the CD Player out of the wagon. So, I went to Ultimate Electronics to get it removed. Geoff and I pulled up with Courtney to the back of the store. We walked into the workshop and there was one guy in there. We told him that we were the people who called about getting a CD Player removed. He recognized the phone call and dug in his toolbox to get two small pieces of metal. He walked out to my car and got in the front seat and put the pieces of metal on each side of the the CD Player. It easily slid out. So, he unplugged the wires and got out and said, "Have a nice day!" Geoff and I stood there confused. Free of charge? Cool.
We continued to Peking Chinese Restaurant to get some lunch. We went in, and enjoyed a meal and conversation with Elise. Well, we paid and left the restaurant. While trying to start Courtney, I was frustrated to find out that the key would not turn. We called Craig's mentoring teacher, Mrs. Rindsig. She came and picked us up. Not only did she pick us up, but she took Craig, Geoff, and I out to coffee. Then, she took us to Craig's car, and we asked her if she needed any help with packing up her room. We went over to Oscar Howe, and we helped pack up boxes and all that good stuff. After that, we went to go get my car at Peking. I got there, and found that it started right away. It's funny how things work sometimes.
Well, we went to HyVee to check our schedules for this upcoming week, and so I could find someone to work for me this weekend because I have the Synod gathering and the RenFest this weekend. We decided to have a grill-out at Craig's house. We got brats and BBQ chicken. Also, we bought some strawberry cheesecake. I cooked everything. After our feast, we went downstairs in the basement to watch Chicago. Since Chase hadn't seen it before. When the movie ended, Chase and I had to leave because of the parental units. Well, that about sums it up. I am just sitting here talking to Chase, Jennilee, and Samantha. Now, I am going to read everyone else's blogs. Then, maybe I will write some poems and update my other blogs. Love all around.
