my friend michael, a dif michael from my mentor michael ahhaa.
but this one, andys brother, well i went to his house today hopefully trying to go chill with andy hahaha. which didnt happen til pretty late in the night.
well my ipod touch light has been broken for about a yr now, and knowing that my friend is good at electronics and engineering and random stuff, i decided to start this thing with him on my ipod touch. we wanted to mod it, and do deisgns and stuff.
so we first opened up the ipod touch. safely removed ribbon cables, logic board, and all the stuff that was cheaply set with clue and screws.
then inside the back cover did an engraving of the date and all that good stuff. we took a look at the lcd and learned alot hahaa. leanring that its just super thin pieces of metal sheets with programming inside layign on top of a piece of glass. intense huh? ahhaha. well, on the itouch,the netire back is metal, with the outer rimming of the front part. the rest, the touch part, is actually glass, therefore paint or anythign wont stay on but just scrape and smear off. therefore we used metal tape, and duct tape to go on the front part, cut out the framing for the rim, and peel that part of the tape off. so we can easily spray the entire thing, but only the rim would have paint left when we peel off the tape. the front is to be red outlining, and the back part, we wrote down my serial number on my phone and all, and used sandpaper to sand down the back, so the specs would be gone, and it would be super shiny and soft and unbelievably smooth ahahha. we sanded it in a downwards direction (if your ipod touch is standing upright in the correct position) and sprayed the entire back white, watching out that the spray paint wouldnt go through part of the usb/audio areas and cover the ribbon connector's pins, because that may be bad stuff D: so after that, we put metal tape over the back, which is all white, and i drew a design, sort of a monterey pop stratocaster, only found by jimi hendix live in monterey's tour (the guitar he burned) and john mayer, holding a replica that he paid like 7 grand for. hhaha extremely hard to find. so since the back is all white underneath the metallic tape, i drew the designs, and would cut out some of the deisgns with this sharp edge we had, and cover the rest of the design we didnt want red, and easily spray it all red, only having the cut out uncovered part red. and do other colors like green, brown etc later on.
so its not exactly done with the design, which is actually engraved and then sprayed on btw hahaha. totally forgot to mention that. and ill hopefully be back there monday =] to continue the good stuff hahaha.
today was a really good experience ahaha. hanging with such different people like that =] learning alot and all.
God taught me that like sometimes, in order to be molded into who He designed me to be. like an artist, he has to sorta get rid of the rough edges, or like shake off the unecessary. and i can truly see Him working on me. He's getting rid of the things i do not need, and uprooting things and giving me more things. so really, let's just put it like this. just let go and let God! ahahha sounds simple huh? ahah xD well its simple, if your mind is set to it. everythigns all in the mind, thigns you do, motivations, even how you feel and correctly responding to situations which can also help you in being optimistic,(philippians 4:4,8) and like that one chapter in matthew where i think peter was in the boat and Jesus was walkign on water and by faith peter walked on water when his eyes were fixed on Jesus. but since there was a strom as soon as he took his eyes off Jesus he started to sink. same with us, our problems are below us,and we are above our problems (water) when we focus our eyes on Jesus,(our minds and all), but when we stop having him off our mind most of the time, dont even realize him all the time which helps us be better in our actions, thats when we tend to fall away, or just take Him for granted etc.
confession: theres my problem ahahha. it just started again recently, but hopefully i can focus more on Him. idle time is the devil's playground hahaha. sometimes i just dont have Him on my mind, especially hanging with friends, i did for a moment and it was just wow. things happening hahaha. but yeah. its during tests when God can shine the most through you, because of right actions(that is if you do take the right course of actions) but i know im being put through this cuz of a prophecy my friend/mentor beavis told me about.when he was talking to me n an old friend that we rarely see now about who we would want to reach out to someday. i said the younger generation, cuz most people, hit puberty and styff mid school, and thats when most of the trouble starts to happen, depression etc. and now i can see, ive been molded enough, after 2 yrs, to continue working with God. i met ALOT of the younger generation, funny thing is i love to hangw ith older people, and theyre mostly my close friends that i talk to chill and hang and like adult sort of talk, hnaging out at a food place and just be chill and talk ahhaha. i dont relly like to hang with my own peers cuz i feel that they r into too many stupid things and for a moment i was too, but i caught myself. just blank in the head, no revelations or realizations, not exactly what id say mature. but what do i know? ahahhaa. i guess its cuz im a mellow guy. but its nice to have the younger generation looking up to me as a sort of friend/good friend/ and even best friend =] ahhahaa. i know this is happening cuz God has a better plan for me than i do for myself.
its the brightest thing i have.
