It reminded me how much all this can be true and how much I do miss him despite all that happened.

"I hate the way you talk to me, the way you cut your hair, I hate the way you drive my car, I hate it when you stare, I hate your big dumb combat boots, the way you read my mind, I hate the way youre always right, I hate it when you lie, I hate it when you make me laugh, Even worse when you make me cry, I hate it that youre not around the fact, that you didnt call"

Praise God Again & Again

My nick-name proceeds me once again. For those of you who don't my most commonly use alternative title it would be skydmark. The title originates from a summer of bravery that was unnecessary in my childhood. Our good family friend Heather was there to witness this brave heroin act and daubed me with the name. More people seem to have picked up on the use of Skydmark recently adding a slight twist to it. Now titling me Skydnee. I do like being called Skydnee. And I know that the reason for the original naming was justified and there have been other clever moments that add to the reasoning that this is a good fit for me.

Tonight was one of those clever moments.

I had just dropped off my friend Kim in American Fork after our devotional in Santaquin. My next stop was Pastor Gene's home to drop off my other friend Sarah in Orem. Being clever I thought I would just carry on through Lindon and into Orem. While being stopped at a light gave me time for another clever idea to take place, the idea of taking what I call the back roads. These are just roads that take you around all the lights and headaches of the cities. Turns out I don't know the roads as well as I use to. After getting lost in the dark and seeing detour after detour sign I decided to just get back to the freeway, head to Pastor's house the for sure way, get Sarah home, then get my little sister Kim and me home asap.

When out'a no where ANOTHER clever idea bounces it's way into my head. It tells me to take the turn just to my right, that it'll get me on to the road to Pastor's house and we'll be in the home stretch. Come to find out it wasn't a road, but a dead end!! Slamming on my breaks at what may (or may have not) been close to 60mph, Sliding a good 20ft, we came to a halting stop. Leaving empressively massive black skidmarks on the pavement.

Thank Jesus that he provided me with an AmAzing car that's breaks work and stopped us, cause if we would have slid another 6in my car would have been toss over the curb causing major damage to both the car and us. I just wana say that my God is a BIG BIG God and that the only kind of skidmarks I make are of rubber on road.

hahaha

Good Night All and Drive Safe ;)

Blonde or Brunette??
That is the ultimate question. Since I was approximately 11 or 12 I have always dyed my hair. First the colors where of Red shades then became darker as I grew older. Now my color is what the coloring box calls 'sweet cola'. Its a dark brown sometimes black if there isn't a whole lot of light.
My hair is growing out causing my roots to show, sadly they are blonde making it look like I have gray hair lol. Looking at the strip of blonde I have decided to go back. . .go all the way back. .to my roots!! haha
Anywho I am going to take out the dark color and dye my hair blonde. YaY!!
I'm super scared while all the while being way super stoked. I have never stripped my hair of its color before. What if it dies? or I lose all my hair, then I'm bald? Oh man I am way over thinking this.
Ook Ook deep breaths. . . deep breaths. . .all right feeling better.
The reasoning behind this drastic change? Is that I need change. I have been one way for so long that I don't know anything else. Maybe this whole being blonde will present new opportunities in life, a new attitude, and maybe just maybe new love interests lol?? Whatever this color bring I will embrace full on.
The event wont take place for a while but when it does I will post a picture for all to see the new me :)

--Speaker unknown

WoW

Nothing to much to report on in the last few days. Its been all about work, work, and more work. yay! not... Even if work pays for my car and cell phone and insurance and the simple pleasantries of life I would still rather not work. Although with all my complaining of having to work more than playing I am still super grateful to be employed and try to remain positive when working.
At my place of work, I hear to frequently of how the people around me hate their jobs and hate being there.
Ugh!!!
Do they not realize how much other people are hurting because they can't even find a part time job?? That families are losing each other because Parents can't afford the basic things take care of their children?? Its a mega downer when all you hear around you is anger and frustration.
Thanks to my big big God, I have a j. o. b.
If you don't like your job to the point where all you do is complain then move over and let the next person who actually wants your job in. No doubt they'll succeed further than you.
Now to all of us who enjoy our jobs and want to keep them until Jesus provides a better opportunity for us. Lets speak up, remind others of how blessed they truly are and Of course do it in love not damnation lol.

Definition of my name according to Urban Dictoinary.
1. Sydnee
Sydnee is an amazing person who can probably kick your asssssss if she needed to. She tends to makes bitches jealous whenever she goes stuntinn around towwwn. Sydnee's knows how to have a good time, Faaahh reaaaaaal!

**Example of how to use in a sentence:
Dude: "Did you see Sydnee kick that girls ass yesterday?!"
Other dude: "Yeah man! She looked fine as hell during it too!"

Hahaha I just thought this was an amusing definition of my name. I tend to hear how I can kick some one's ass without effort, on a regular bases. Not that I do on a regular bases, but I will if I have to or feel like it is deserved ;)

GooD situations plus BaD situations happen each and everyday. It is the decisions that we make that defines the out comes of these situations. And the out come of Our own character.

I am praying for peace, control over my words, healing of raw wounds, and reconciliation.
-peace for my temper, to remain clam and breath when I need to
-control over my words so that I don't continue to cause damage to hurt
- healing because we can only take so much at a time before breaking down completely
-reconciliation for what we lost

Shirt, Shoes, Service!!!

After six days of working my wee little toes to their bones at Harbor Freight Tools over this weekend, it was an sweet treat to see someone with class when it came to their wardrobe.
This spectacular customer (name unknown, shucks!) was dressed in a styling tropical button down shirt, blue jeans, and red converse. MY FAVS!!
He was in search of a diamond sharpening stone, which we didn't have the kind he needed
:( unfortunately.
Still assisting him was a delight and highlight of my day. He even let me take a photo of him to place with this blog.
How totally FantaStic is that? LoL
Back to His outfit, I absolutely adored the RED parrots tucked in with the leaves and other such plants on his shirt. Plus his RED converse where a perfect match to each and every parrot.
Thank You, Customer for letting me take a photo and post about you on my blog!!
YOU ROCK!

subconscious dreaming

I had this odd dream last night

I'm outside at a cottage it seems to be a small boutique with brand name clothes, jewelry, and all sorts of other oddities. I'm holding open the door into the boutique for customers, their all dressed for chilly weather, including me, it must be well into fall colors.
A Lady pauses just before going inside. She mentions how she has an old friend who use to hold the door for her, she has this mournfulness about her face as she continues inside.
I turn to my left and spot this colorful tank top laid out on a table among other clothes and random things. But, the tank top keeps changing colors; from green to pink to orange then yellow and purple than its back to green. I want to purchase the tank, but am thinking better of it when I hear someone. He tells me to just get it, not to worry about the price if I enjoy it so much. I debate more, deciding not to buy it. It wouldn't have fit anyways.
I place the garment back on the table as the man moves over to a carousel of scarfs. We look at them together for only moment when he pulls off the one he has been wearing dropping it around my neck, for some reason I feel the need to promise profusely that I'll return it to him soon .
He just smiles as we lead each other to a park bench linked together, arm in arm. We sit down, burrowed together as if we were an item. I suddenly have this dreaded realization, this knowing that hes not substantial. That what connection we have together isn't true, that I can't have him forever.
So I begin ask questions about us to fill in the blanks of our being together, one question was "how did we met?". He tells me that we met in Paris and shared a taxi together, then fell in love and have been ever since. I know in my head that I've never been to Paris, but accept the story as fact. We sit a while longer locked together. Then hes gone, just simply fades away from me. Leaving me along on the park bench. I'm immensely unsure if his ever being real.
I spy my fantastic friend Wendy siting on a nearby bench, she shouts at me that its time to go. I don't want to in the slightest bit, but follow her reluctantly into a toy store, full of every amazing toy you can imagine.
We're here because for some odd reason that she is required to buy a present for a young boy, instead we end up playing with the plastic swords and other miscellaneous weapons there.
Once we're finished amusing ourselves, we move on to stare at figurines displayed on a entire wall of shelves.
I ask Wendy about her brother; how he looks, how he speaks, and dresses in hopes of him being the one who vanished, but hes not from how she describes him. She asks me why I care so much about this mystery man if he just left me sitting there.
I care so much because he . . . . . . . . .
I then Woke Up
The reason that this posting is so sporadic is because that is all I can remember of the dream. Bits and Pieces

OnE TwO......ThReE FoUr...
March 23, 2009
Does anyone know the feeling you get when you just......relized that you've dropped your phone in water and your whole life has the possiblity of coming to a frying end??
I do.
This last week has been nothing but a FRYING mess of mylife. This week maybe the same. I dont know. What I do know is that I will dance it off. I will shrugg my shoulders in reblion, shouting at the top of my lungs "(_________)!!". I've wasted this entire week on meaningless situations when I could have been walking home. Home to those who listen to what I have to say, simply because they want to...I'm home.
I am ready to take on the world again. I am standing again. Try and knock me down now. This time its all me.
Lets tumble, World.

RevolutioN
February 16, 2009
RestleSSneSS can drive a person insane. i am restless! i feel like i'm suffocating. I want a 360 turn around in my life. Only God can do that for me. last thursday a friend who is becoming very close to me reassured my faith in God. She told me what i've heard from time to time as i've grown up. On sunday i cried. i realized how words cant describe what Jesus did on that day, he gave up his life for us, for me. how amazing?
i want to live every moment for God. what i do in the small time i have here on earth is no comparison to what he did in those last hours leading him to the cross. i am restless! i can feel a stirring. i am right now starting to live for God. i am a chosen daughter of the highest KING. i want to challenge you to 'check yourself'. are you doing what God wants you to do? are you living how you want to live for God? what are you called to do for him?
We are the generation that will fill the gap. We are the generation that will stand up and fight. We are the generation that will do God's will.
Are you RestleSS??

Parental Units
January 28, 2009
{Par-ent-al Un-it-s} noun; a set of two people, generaly male and female who have one or more child(ren) together...

Everyone in the world has parental units.
These are the people who govern your life until you run like hell for the farthest apartment with a bestfriend or two. I wana say sorry to all of you who have a different relationship with your mom and dad [than I do] for what ever reason. Dont get me wrong I love my Bosses. They feed me, let me use their car, and much much more. But............Oh my hell! Parents are the worst pain you will ever feel in you left ass cheek. They may love you deep down inside, the real truth is they enjoy making you suffer. To the FULLEST. Did everyone hear me?? One parent can be handled for the most part. You can come to an agreement with one parent. When it comes to two all hope is lost. Moral education goes out the window and in flys the bitch slaps. As of late my parental units and I have not be getting along very well. I'm what you would call a difficult child. I frimly believe that once I leave the shelter of mom and dad, our family will be able to show the love that is hidden under all the junk we throw at each others face.

Carl's Jr. Population
January 10, 2009
Have you ever sat at a Carl' Jr. for six hours? Neither had I til today. The story of why I've been here for so long is lame. We'll move straight to my observations of the customers I have seen today. Through out the length of a day all fast-food places have "rushes". Carls has had 4. The people who cause these so called rushes vary in size, race, amount of persons in a group, and attitudes. One group I saw this morning contained two males in their late 20s early 30s. Both were heavy set in proportion. Each wore slacks that raised above their navels, held in place by suspenders, with button down church shirts. They worn matching glasses. I was surfing the web and playing music at the same time they were sitting down at the table kiddy corner to me. While tweddle de and tewddle dum ate breakfast. The man closes to me would look of his shoulder to watch me. I am not sure why he felt to need to do this. His, I now assume is the brother also looked over his shoulder while eating. The only logical reason to this odd behavior I can come up with would be both men wanted to make sure that no one would sneak in from behind to steal their Carls Jr. feast. LOL. The pair of them made me laugh. People are funny to watch. If you ever get the chance to sit in a public venue for hours, watch how those around you act. You will be trying to contain yourself from bursting :)

Burned Alive
January 23, 2009
For an English class I've been reading a book titled Burned Alive written based on a young girl's life from the Palestine territory. Her name is Souad. When she was 19 gasoline was poured over her head with a match tossed into her face. Why was this done? For the sake of honor. Souad grew up in a village that believes the father has the privilege, the right to discipline the females with in his family when he sees fit. For whatever the reason maybe. The word discipline is a soft word compared to the events that truly take place behind shut doors. There is no way for me the simply tell you the raw abuse given out like red balloons at the fair. With in this book you discover how different our worlds are. That there are women and children at this very moment living in fear. Afraid they will not wake up tomorrow morning. My heart breaks with each word that I continue to read. I use to have the assumption that my life was hard. Now I understand that what I go through everyday has no weight against what so many girls endure each waking second of each day. Please read Burned Alive by Souad. Open your eyes to the horror of so called 'Honor Killing'. I have yet to finish the book. At the last page I only hope that Souad has forever escaped the life she left behind for the unknown future. A warning to everyone this book's subject matter is not for the carefree person, but for those who need more depth to understand or at least deal with their own lives. I do urge all of you to attempt to complete the first chapter.

If you actually read all of these old post? Bless your heart, you've made my day ;)
