Now isn't this the life! It was so nice outside today that I took each of my classes out to draw some wildlife (trees, flowers, and what not). I got to sit down and enjoy the sunshine while they drew...how great is that. 

Sometimes in life, there are opportunities you think only knock once…and if you don’t answer you are out of luck. Other times there are situations where you have to let things go, which are never going to return. But there are brief moments in life that are so amazing, and some call to chance, an occurrence in which you are giving a second go around. If you die to yourself, and give up control…you realize that God is in charge…and he has his plan. His will is what is important not ours…but oh how hard it is to really let go.

Will I ever truly let go and trust him? There is one thing in life I want more than anything else…the drive inside of me is so strong it makes me feel like I will burst sometimes. The girl I would like to marry someday…will God ever allow that to ever happen? He may not, and I am supposed to be ok with that. The fact is, I don’t know that I am. It is hard to imagine what it would be like without her around. How much I see God through her, and God work through her makes me so amazed at his power and sovereignty. She is so beautiful, funny, smart, stubborn, fun, and did I mention beautiful. The list is endless of why I want to be her husband, but does she want to be my wife? No...just friends I suppose...but will she ever want to be more? That question haunts me like a shadow…I can’t shake it. I know deep down she loves me, even if she won’t say it…her actions tell me she does. Her words and actions tell me how deeply she cares for me...without ever having her say "I love you." So here I continue to sit, patiently waiting for God to make the move and for me to be moved. Trying not to crumble in my doubts, and fears...trying to hold on to the hope that God knows best...and the knowledge that he loves us all very much. He wants the best for us...even if we won't admit it...which is hard to do sometimes. There is nothing else I can do, except to wait for God to move in one direction or the other, pray for continued patience, and strong faith to know HE has HIS plan...even if it does not come close to what my plans want to be. I want to do his will...and give up my own.

Being Darth Vader rules

Darth Vader....or is it?

So I went to the movies dressed as Darth Vader...since Anikan finally becomes Darth in the movie. Note...that this is only part of the costume. It is missing my light saber, and cape...which I did wear at the theater. I brought it to school on Thursday and wore it for my kids. That is where this picture came from. I will post pics from the movie when I get them. I won best costume from Z101.7 and I got my picture taken with little kids and even some adults. Jason Adams from the Morning Show interviewed me on the radio the next day. My students thought it was really cool.

Although I was a rather short Darth Vader....it didn't stop from instilling fear into one small little girl who cried because I was so "scary". I came back a little while later and she finally shook my hand and gave Darth a hug. :o) Another little kid walked up to me and asked "Are you dat guy from the moothie?"...it was so cute. Holly couldn't believe it. I also had a light saber duel with another movie-goer in the theater before the movie started....the place went crazy...it was so much fun.

I know...I am a dork...but it was so much fun.

The Force is Strong with this One.

In lieu of the Star Wars hype...I wanted to toot my own horn.


I won opening night tickets off the radio last week....HAHAHAHA!

"Luke....I am your Father!"

Buying stolen cars...

So another reason not to go to auctions...the car you buy is a stolen vehicle.


Ya..that is what happened to me. I was on my way to get the title for the vehicle and I get a phone call from the sherriff's dept. "Mr. Corr...were you aware that the 1950 Suburban you have purchased may be a stolen vehicle?!" (WTF! what I say to myself in my head).

"Ummm...No!" I reply

"Well actually sir, it was a "misplaced" vehicle two years ago and it has come to our attention that you may have said vehicle"...the sergent

"Really...but we have the title"..."am I in trouble"...

"No...it is a civil matter now and I will leave it up to you and the previous owners to decide what to do."...end of conversation

So I get the owners telephone # and give 'em a call. They are surprised and interested in coming to see the vehicle. Now legally the vehicle belongs to me...even though circumstances took it out the their possession 2 years ago. But I tried to do the "right" thing and let them see if they wanted it back. Long story short...that was Saturday, and they haven't gotten back to me after they looked at it. So I still have my cool 50's cruiser...for now.

Of all the luck!

Modern Day Dukes of Hazard

Think they got away?

My crazy car friend Keith sent this to me the other day via email. It's kind of entertaining if you like car chases ;o)

Why I shouldn't go to auctions...

My dad called me yesterday to go check out an auction for him. I didn't buy anything that he wanted though...I didn't make it in time.

However, I did by something kind of by accident. You see they started the auction for this car...and asked who would start the bidding...so I said $50. The auctioneer went on and on...no one else bid. So he said he would have to check with the owner...the owner sold it for $50.

The cool part is...It is a 1950 Suburban Carryall...which is rare...and it is 90% complete. It is just in pieces. SO now I have a new project or I am going to sell it and make $$$. We'll see...it depends if someone lets me keep it or not. ;o)
