have you ever had one of those days where..
you just do not feel yourself at all
I'm having one of those days today
actually, I had that day yesterday too.
usually I am ready to wake up in the morning
and I am happy..
but yesterday and today I didnt even want to wake up
no, I dont mean like I want to die
it's just I wanted to stay and bed all day
I am so happy at church
because that's where all my friends are
I am okay at school
because I dont know what I would do without laura or rachel
but I still feel by myself when I'm not with them
and at home, geez, I dont even want to be there anymore
that's why I try to be out all the time
and I joined dance again..
because it give me another reason to get away
and the three people who make me laugh
like actually laugh until my stomach hurts
they are people I dont get to see everyday
and it's them who I need at times like these..
my head has been hurting, I think I am sick
:/ ick
thanks and I love yaa.
I cant resist the day, no, I cant resist the day.
Suddenly Everything Has Changed
November 23 2005
That's a good song by the Postal Service, and it fits well with myself at the time.
Last night the show went alright i guess....it was more of a goof off show than it should have been. the two bands i was wanting to see and play with and meet didn't even show. they pulled out between a week and a month ago. we didn't even know about it until last night. so it ended up being us and Mason. the guys from Mason were alright, i'm not fond of their music, they are talented, but not my thing really. as for personalities, they seemed alright until the end. when they just left and didn't give us a good job or nice playing with you. they just thanked us for watching them. that's it...i find that sort of rude. but whatever...i'll probably never see them again. but maybe i will...i dunno. but the show was fun. i moved around a lot more, so i had a lot more fun on stage, especially knowing there weren't a million people there to watch my every move...it was more like 20. haha. tops......haha...it's all good though. hopefully we'll be getting a new singer soon...that'll make our problems go away...i hope. ha
but yeah...things have still been confusing, but i think stuff is starting to clear up a bit as of recently. but i'll see....the stuff that comes along with fun of senior year can really put your head in a spin. cuz you realize that you won't see a lot of people EVER again. and it really makes you sad. i've always had the theory of live mostly for the present and worry about the future when it gets here...especially during highschool...i know things will be a little different once i get to college and start my life outside of the comfort of mommy and daddy and my best friends. but i mean. as for now. i just wanna have fun, and be a kid. and do things that kids do. go out, date, party, that kinda stuff. but as i get closer and closer to my "adulthood" it gets harder. so, i guess what i'm trying to say is that i don't think i'm ready for that. there's still a lot of stuff i guess i feel like that i wanna accomplish in a short amount of time to make my senior year feel more worthwhile...but who knows, it might not happen. we'll see.....this is just a rant. nothing serious. haha. just a good way for me to get my thoughts and words straight for whenever i talk to people about stuff. thanks guys. later

word of the day "CHILD"
November 23 2005
So these two CHILD in 6th period were being very loud, obnoxious and annoying in class, so I decided to make them angry and save the day. One CHILD is in ROTC and the other CHILD loves Rascal Flatts, so I basically says to them that Rascal Flatts and the Marines took a trip to Australia so that they could have sexual intercourse with Koala bears. [EWWWW!!!! GROSS!!!]
The ROTC CHILD asked me if I wanted to die, and I said no way jose
I started feeling bad afterwards, I apologised of course, because I didn't mean it, but then i started thinking to myself, maybe i should stop pretending to be a jerk. Some people who don't know me well enough probably take it seriously.
*Ponder!*
I'msa moseying on down to Opry Mills today! and i got a dumb looking haircut!
I thought I'd join the cool kids....
November 23 2005
Well I thought I'd join the cool kids. So I finally broke down and got a phusebox. Maybe I'll do a better job of keeping this one up to date.

So Brittney and I made cookies last night and they were really good. I feel asleep before they got done cooling so there arn't that many left. I had one, and it was really good. :)
I'm so BORED. Noone is on AIM right now, so yeah...Brittney is starting to sing "Like a Virgin" to talk about her personal life. Why do we act crazy? I was playing a toy natural-horn horn in my room last night (it sounded really really funny) and I was sitting on my bed funny (?) and she walked in and like...pee'd on herself she was laughing so hard. It was quite funny. I can't wait till our movie day in G-berg...haha. Last year Cirque De Sole was on and we decided to "act it out" and we were hanging from the rafters and stuff and my parents came in and were like "what are y'alld doing?!" yeah...it was fun.
Like Whoa
November 23 2005
Whoa! I like updating b4 I go to Memphis...ain't that w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l of me? Yeah, I thought so too.
Well, I hope everyone has a super duper Thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey, but don't overdue it or anything. haha
I'm exhausted...oooooh wow am I exhausted...but it's all good. I talked to Logan till 3...sheesh I need to get a life.
Well, I'm outta here. "como mas pollo" << hmmm randomness.

Thanks...for nothing, Microsoft!
November 23 2005
And, so, the XBox 360 was released to the general public and video gaming as we know it no longer exists. And how does this end of good games go? With resounding approval, high demand, and a ridiculously huge amount of hype.
Y'know what, Microsoft? Screw you. You have no need to be in the arena of games. Stick to what you do best and work on OS's and Office programs. Maybe if you weren't so damn focused on the 360 you could actually make a better Windows, one that could get approval of all users, Mac and Linux people especially.
But what do you people do? Attempt to enter the realm of console gaming and appeal to people that normally don't play video games. Do you know why appealing to them is bad? Because you then get people playing games that they don't even realize are horrible; you can get away with making/releasing cut-and-paste-and-dry first person shooters that do basically nothing different than other first person shooters. And so, you go on to release a whole bunch of crappy games, many of which are already out on other consoles, and attempt to make things look better. Well, they look better, but y'know what? Things are still better looking on the PC than the 360.
You may have Rare and you may have Tecmo. But, y'know what? I don't give a rat's patooty. Have your DOA 4 360-exclusiveness. Have your Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo. I don't care. Y'know why? 'Cause hyping about damn graphics gets you nowhere with me. I'm going to just keep playing my Gamecube and PS2 (and eventually DS) and be perfectly happy because all of the systems previously mentioned have good games, like Final Fantasy, Mario-nigh-anything (Nintendo really does put a fair amount of effort into each of the Mario spin-off games; they just need to make an outright Mario game again), Shadow of the Colossus, Tales of Symphonia, Katamari Damacy, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Castlevania, not to mention the countless no-news-but-awesome games that are on PS1 and PS2, like Vagrant Story.
Yes, I still play PS1 games. Like a champ. I still desire to play SNES games, as well as a few Game Boy games and Genesis games. 'Cause they were really good games.
What do you have to offer, Xbox 360? Nuthin'. A big whompin' load of crap. I can see right through you, you big retardedly-successful marketing ploy. You truly are the world's biggest scam now.
I can hope that you'll flop all I want. Unfortunately, I know it won't happen, definitely not anytime soon. Because people are dumb, and you find ways of exploiting that weakness like a champ.
So, here's the lowdown: 360, you can go to heck. 'Cause I'll be getting a PS3 (which is gonna be infinitely more gorgeous than you, Mr. 360) and a Revolution ('cause it's going to open a whole new level of gaming that couldn't even be imagined until now). And everyone I tell outside of my job...I'll tell them that you are the worst console ever (I'd rather have a Virtual Boy than you), and that they should just wait it out for the PS3 and Revolution.
...Okay, I'm done now.
So, yeah. If you truly value gaming, don't get a 360. Get a PS3 or Revolution or both. Let's get to work on trying to get Microsoft to leave the realm of gaming altogether.

It ate my room. Boo. Hiss.
Not sure if I should just attempt to deal with having a smaller-room feeling and the ability to have 3 computers hooked up at once (or 2 computers and space for homework), or try to pawn this furniture off on the rest of the family (rearrange the office area, for instance. That could work, the computer desk in there is falling apart from old age anyway)... We'll see.
As a warning to the rest of y'all, read all the dimensions they give you to figure out which set is the entire thing. I just read one set of dimensions, thought it was the whole thing, and now have an enormous glass-and-metal monster invading about a third of my room. Mrrp.

Life Lately...
Last day of school was yesterday. So I spent all of the time I could with my favorite person. I should have skipped and had there lunch too. Wow it sucks b-cuz usually I would love to be out of school but being that's the only way I see them..I want to go back. I find it weird how love really does make you do crazy things.
Now, I've got a couple things to say:
- I love you all and have a great Thanksgiving
- I probably can't do a whole lot b-cuz my parents want us to spend time together
- ((to the people that like my lover <3)) They are mine, so give up. I have worked hard to get us to where we are and I love them with all my heart. So with that said...go find your own!
- I love you and can't wait to see your face agian. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving and everything goes ok. My day hasn't started yet, and I guess no day of this week will b-cuz I can't see you.
((you have my heart))
Give Thanks!
November 23 2005
Thanksgiving is upon us, and do you know what that means? It means gaining that extra five pounds before you get ready to work off doing Christmas shopping! It means seeing that annoying grandmother who pinches your cheeks until your face falls off! For guys it means watching football! For girls, it means playing games in the living room becoming violent at times because this is the tradition of Thanksgiving! LOL! I hope you guys have an awesome Thanksgiving! I'm headed to Johnson City until Saturday! Don't forget to give thanks to God for all of the blessings in your life! We are so fortunate to have everything that we do in America! Most of the world is not as fortunate as we are! I love you guys!
Always give thanks for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -Ephesians 5:20
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good! His faithful love endures forever
-Psalm 118:29

Incredible Experience #1:
A few guys came over to the church to prayer walk. I joined them when I got done with work.
"Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place. For now
I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there
forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually." II Chronicles 7:15-16
Incredible Experience #2:
Went to Steak-and-Shake at about 2:30am. Robert was there (He's better than Crazy Carl by the way). When I got through eating he came over and showed us this book he had been reading. Basically he is searching and is having a hard time understanding the concept of a just God of love. We talked about a few things. Fundamentally, he is leaning towards universalism. I explained a little bit about what I believe (absolute truth, literal heaven and hell, sinful man, redeeming saviour). Thank God the line of communication between Robert and me is open. I got the name of the book he is reading and I told him I would read it so we could discuss it further. He seems pretty open-minded and logical. What an incredible opportunity! Pray for Robert. Pray that his mind would be open and receptive to the truth. Pray that I would have the right words to say at the right time. God is AWESOME!
"When they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say; for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say." Luke 12:11-12
Tonight was living proof of that.
This is all beside the fact that I had an amazing day! I believe I have a newfound veneration for my Master!
Home to TN :)
November 22 2005
So I can't wait b/c Josh and I are coming home in the morning. YAHHH!!!! I love Thanksgiving more than any day of the whole year. Its just time to sit, eat, and enjoy being with family. We have to do the whole splitting time between the families this year though, which is totally a new thing, but it will be good and I'm definately excited about spending the holidays together this year. We will be in the boro on sat/sun and so we will be at Belle Aire on Sunday morning - Can't wait to see you all.
The job is going well. Just still hating the working nights part of it. Its 0221 and my body says - GO TO BED - but my job says - STAY AWAKE!!! Its making havoc of my body. My days are all thrown off and I seem to always be exhausted. I was up for 38 hours the other day - I was fianlly in zombee mode. It was no fun at all. I had my first experience with the death of a child recently. One of our kids that I had taken care of many, many times on my orientation and whom I had grown attached to passed away last week. He had a long fight with cancer and lost here on earth, but I know that he is wtih Jesus now, free from his pain. Its still sad though and it was so hard to watch him die. He was so scared, as we all are to some degree. He told us one night that he didnt want to die b/c he didnt know anyone in Heaven and thought he wouldnt have any friends. (we soon reminded him of two of our other kids that passed awwy that he had grown to know during his stay at the hospital.). So that brings me to the point that God has been teaching me about why He has me at this job. Many of the people that I work with are bitter toward the Lord b/c they see so many chldren here suffer and in pain and eventually loose their battle. None of these chldren deserve it, but in the human minds, they can't understand why God woudl put kids through this either. Sometimes I dont understand it. Its kept me up a few nights just thinking why this happens to kids - but them I'm quickly remineded that God is soverign and His character is unchanging. He knows better then we do His big picture. I'm learning not to question that but to just know that that He is God. So I know that He has me at this job to share that message with others and to share joy as well.
Anyway, thats enough of all that. Things in Raleigh are great - we will see you all on Sunday I hope:)

so i decided to make sure....
haha! isn't she cute?
I hope everyone has a great thanksgiving!
I'm Thankful!
November 22 2005
This Thanksgiving I have A TON of things to be thankful for...
A TON!
Now, to be sure, the list that follows is very incomplete. But I think it's good to try and think of as many things as I can that I'm thankful for. I know I don't do it enough.
My Life: There are a great many things I cannot know for sure. Life is a precious gift that I've been given. I didn't just happen. I'm pretty sure of that, and very greatful. Some serious debts have been forgiven me as well, more than I can understand.
My Family: Dad, Mom, Catherine & Matt, Emily & Ben, Rebekah, and Eleanor (& Dylan). Mimi, Nana, Nick, and ALL of my extended family.
My Friends: far too many to count! I don't deserve a single one of them, either.
Things: Shoes, clothes, dorm room, volleyball, guitar, computer, school, cameras, bed, phone, books, movies, noise, The Simpsons, internet, cards, games, journals, pens, house, dogs, basketball, silence, blogs, swimming pools, and fire.
Food: Pizza, steak, and burgers. But mostly Mom's home cooking!
Nature: Words don't do it.
Activities: Playing, running, singing, dancing, resting, communicating, photographing, smiling, frowning, visualizing, blogging, shouting, and dreaming.
My Health: All four limbs accounted for, and all five digits on each of those, awesome. All the behind-the-scenes involuntary functions.
Music: Some of the favorites: Bob Dylan, Josh Garrels, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Leslie Dudney. I love listening to music, as well as trying to play it myself. I enjoy listening to people who sing what they feel, not neccessarily what others want to feel.
Like I mentioned above, this list is tiny and incomplete. This is just off the top of my head. I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving Holiday!
My sissy is home! :o)

Ashley's home! Ashley's home!! yay!! This is her second time home since she started college haha...we've missed her. We took her to Wal-Mart tonight as part of our traditional meetings with her.

i still believe
November 22 2005
scattered words and empty thoughts
seem to pour from my heart
i've never felt so torn before
seems i don't know where to start
but it's now that i feel
your grace fall like rain
from your fingertip
washing away my pain
i still believe
in your faithfulness
i still believe
in your truth
i still believe
in your holy word
even when i don't see
i still believe
though the questions still fog up my mind
with promises i still seem to bear
even when answers slowly unwind
it's my heart i see you prepare
the only place i can go is into your arms
where i throw to you my feeble prayers
in brokeness i can see this was your will for me
so help me to know that you are near
gosh, what an incredible song! three years ago this was the song that kept me breathing. and even though circumstances have changed, i can still relate to it. it makes me thankful for all that God has done for me and in me.
Thank You God

I've decided to make a landmark decision in school....start a tribal dancing club. Once a week, at night, we'll meet in a field dressed in loin cloths. We'll play bongos, dance in blood, and scream and chant songs in tribal languages. Its cultural, come on... okay, I just like making tribal noises...*shrugs*
So this girl in my geometry class, Janelle, is completely insane. The other day she sat on me and molested me. Big time. Rubbing her ass all over me. She even licked my hands. She was trying to "eat my armpit hair" so she says, lmao. Like, does she smoke before every class or something? Who does that?!?! But yeah, then she kissed me on the face, and tried to do it some more. Phew. I tried to get Sarah Gearheart to save me, but she merely laughed. And the other day I watched her take out her weave. Its entertaining. It ain't yo momma's geometry class...
Nine more days until my glasses are gone. For good this time. I am getting contacts. Yes. I am sooo excited. They will be so much easier. But...I will miss it. I'll look better though, heh, maybe?
Don't worry, when I go to Northwestern College in Chicago. I'll be sure to come back and visit my peeps...
So i'm pretty convinced that a black hole exists in the universe. Seriously. I lose things all the friggin time. And I can never find it. And really, things just cant comepletely disappear. There is no other explanation.
Today was sooo easy...We had a spanish fiesta in first. It was really just a big breakfast thing. I brought a skillet. And eggs. And yes, I made scrambled eggs in class, on the spot, and the were amazing. Yessss. Then I just talked through second and went to do the SACS thing for the rest of the day. Which no joke, consisted of my and Chloe, Sonia, Jimmy, and Kelvin, sitting in an empty conference room from 12 to 3, doing absolutely nothing. We played cards. We helped the committee members in no way because they did nothing. So yea, it was good to get out of class, but I was bored out of my mind.
And I had the bright idea to go bowling tonight, but when I got home after practice I just wasn't in the mood. And I heard that Maegan and Anna were skating. So Andrea and I decided to go with them. Well when we got there, there was a total of like eight cars there, and through the windows we only saw little kids. Like tiny kids. So we finally swallowed our egos and went up there. And they said it was "Flashlight Night" where the turn off the lights and you skate with flashlights, and they wouldn't let us in without a flashlight, so we ran away. We wasted the night away basically. We went to the Underground. Man did that bring back memories. I remember spending day after day after day there. Thats where I met sooo many of my friends and where I made lasting bonds with people. And now its like non-existent. It was nice to go there again. Then we had trouble meeting up with Maegan and Anna, we went to espresso joes (where they were) but at the same time, they went to the underground (where we were) so we basically jsut switched, But espresso joes was closed, hah. So we went to starbucks (who would have guessed?!?!) [and I saw Lexie there, haha, happy?]then to Hastings, where we saw Casey, I love that girl soo much!!!! Damn, I want your number, we will hang out. You don't read phusebox...so yea...
Hopefully this break will become more eventful....
. . . Wow
November 22 2005
Tonight was, without a doubt, wonderfully unplanned, but totally amazing. Page and I grabbed a couple of milkshakes from Baskin Robbins and just sat down to talk because we haven't seen each other in awhile, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Because they closed at ten, he and I sat in his xTerra and talked and listened to music a little more. I shared some of my struggles, past and present and he did too. It was just a lot of fun.
Now, the even more amazing part was the drive home. . . oh, what an awesome drive it was.
I was talking aloud to God about certain things going on, then suddenly feeling compelled to start using adjectives to describe how wonderful He really is. As I got to the end of Compton, I asked for a shooting star and would glance at the sky to see if any went by. As I continued driving on 96 towards home, the road curved down a slight dip, and as I rounded it, the moon appeared through the trees. Guys, this wasn't just an ordinary moon-- it was so splendorous. . . it was only half, but it was so beautiful. It looked as though it had just risen from out of nowhere because it seemed so nearby. Ahhh, it was beautiful. Once I hit a straightaway, it was almost directly in front of me. The thought "Man, it'd be great if I See Love came on the radio" crossed my mind for a second. . . that's my favorite song, and I like, never hear it completely, especially when I'm driving. So I keep on driving, almost at my house, when the commercials for WAY-FM ended and what song comes on? GOOD LANDS, it was I See Love!!!! That did it. I started crying. It was like God was just sitting right there saying "YES! I'm HERE and I love you! This is for YOU ANNA! I GAVE YOU THE MOON AND YOUR SONG!!! Ah, it was amazing.
Life, it can beat you down....close your eyes and just believe.

1. i can't stand people who dont know how to keep their mouth shut. you tell them things that you think are in confidance, but they have mindset to go talk about it...i dont care how mad or defensive it makes you! if you get that mad and upset, its probably for a reason. we all hate to be called out, but sometimes it just has to happen. and i hate it cause i care about the person i was talking about...he's still a friend and i wouldnt want to lose him for good, too painful really. maybe i learned my lesson back in the 8th grade, but i guess some people arent learning it until their senior year...
2. i had a very good talk with shana mcdaniel and matt hall the other night. it was just about the future and what we want for ourselves, for our family, and for our future spouse. just the future in general. i just realized how much life i have left and i dont want to make anymore mistakes than i have to. i want my husband and my little boys or my little girls. and i want it to be hard. but, i want Him to be there for me even when i can't hold my head up. and another note, i dont really want to date anyone else this year, i just dont want to get attached. i use to think i wanted to marry someone i went to high school with, but now, i dont really. i just want to live and let it happen. and granted, i plan everything, i still want my life to fall in place, however God sees fit. i've realized life is one big roller-coaster of emotional ups and downs, but i like it that way, if you were always happy or always sad, it may be void of anything real and true. i need to go now, but i think there should always be three points, cause two seems lacking
3. i like passion tea from starbuck's...i've found i can try all the teas, not get sick, and enjoy nice hot drinks (not coffee) all at once...yum yum...
so those are my three points...sorry if i hurt you. im sorry if you have no idea what im talking about. im sorry if you do know what im talking about, cause if you do, i most likely offended you. but, know that i love you im just ready to move on.

i just erased the pics off of my digital camera. i didnt want to, it still had the pictures on there from the last few days of school. the bon-fires, the party at ashley and nolans house, which was one of the best parties, and from graduation. ya, they are on my computer and all, but still, it makes me sad.
i'm comin home tommorow. shannon said she cant hang out like we had planned on, and i dont mind, i understand, but it makes me sad. i seriously thought about comin home tonight, but it wasnt going to work out.
i played in a poker tournament tonight, i didnt get good cards, i stayed in as long as possible, but it didnt work out for me this time, oh well.
i think i'm going to make a cd for the trip home tommorow, it should be good.

The first time I looked in your eyes I knew
I would do anything thing for you
The first time you touched my face I felt
What I've never felt with anyone else
I wanna give back what you've given to me
And I wanna witness all of your dreams
Now that you've shown me who I really am
And I wanna be more than just your man
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
Be the hand that lifts your vail
Be the moon that moves your tides
And the sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you been dreaming of and more
So much more I wanna be your everything
When you wake up I'd be the first thing you see
And when it gets dark you can reach out to me
I'd cherish your words
And I'd finish your thoughts
And I'll be your compass when you get lost
I wanna be the wind that fills your sails
Be the hand that lifts your vail
Be the moon that moves your tides
And the sun coming up in your eyes
Be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you been dreaming of and more
So much more I wanna be your everything
I'd be the wheel that never rusts
And be the spark that lights you up
All that you been dreaming of and more
So much more I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything
I wanna be your everything

Bad Day
November 22 2005
Hey, Sorry I havent updated in while. Well to day was a pretty. This morning was pretty bad my mom got mad me b/c I asked her to fix my hair b/c it wasnt workin w/ me so I told that it wasnt working and she mad and yelled me "DONT EVER ASK ME 4 HELP AGIAN" so I started to cry and was like "Are u P.M.Sing on me already" so I told to get out and she slamed my stratner down and almost broke it. So she was yelling at me to hurry up so I ran into my to get shoes and in the process of this yelling and screaming at each other my dog had PISSED on the floor and I just manged to step in it. And my dad is now yelling at me to come down stairs so I grab EVERYthing and run down stairs and almost fall. Well my gets at the dog and drops my food all OVER the front porch cause I told that the dog had pissed on the floor which makes me jump back and scrap my foot cause remeber I have no shoes on. So my dog ride to school w/ us and she is on her peiord so she gets blood all over my favorit pair of pants that made me even more angry. So I get to science class yeah umm pretty sure I only got 5 rite then I get lunch and I am crying and I get to math have a test in there but I think I did good on that one but idk. And my day slowly got better dog that pissed on the carpet
I guess I could update...
November 22 2005
Geez! It's been a long, freakin' time!! I've been on here many times but for some reason, never updated! Everything is pretty much awesome in my life right now. I can drive!! Woot! I have a job! Woot! I am making good grades! Woot! I also have the best girlfriend in the whole wide world! WOOT WOOT!! Haha.
Anyways, ya know what the worst part about school is? Well, I'll tell you. Junior year SUCKS! I am doing well but I have been feeling completely overwhelmed! Maybe this Thanksgiving break will help a little.
So that's about it.

next semester's schedule
November 22 2005
Well, I've been reading how everybody's getting their new schedules for next semester, so I thought that I'd tell ya'll mine........ Well, lets see here....
I'll start off with 3 hrs of Internship credit,
Move next to 6 hrs of Global Studies: Studying another culture
Then head on to 3 hrs of History of Asian Studies
But seeing as how I have such a STRENUOUS schedule, I think that I'll walk to the beach and go surfing to relax. (For all of those who didn't know, I'm moving to Hawaii.) I know, I know, its gonna suck. But, I think that I'll get through it somehow.

¡No mas escuela!
November 22 2005
So my cousin (Brittney) is comming over later tonight, fun. No school tomorrow! But yeah, we're leaving to G'berg around 5 to the cabin and have Thanksgiving. I'm excited about that. But yeah, I won't be able to practice till we get back, which will inhale vigorously when I do play again. I might just take my mouthpiece and the blue book with me.
Just a note for my horn babies, Nov. 30th instead of having horn choir and a masterclass, Ruth and I will be giving you all mock auditions. If you don't know that that is, we will be behind a screen and ask you to come up in pre-determinded numbers so we won't know who you are. You will play your scales, do sight-reading, and then your audition piece. Be warned! We will judge you, but just to tell you what you should work on, because the auditions are comming up!
So I have to change my audition day for Memphis to Febuary the 3rd because I suck at the ACT. I've been trying to go to the honor bands there for 3 years! And again, I can't go. I can't go to Tech's either though, I have my UT audition that Saturday. And to be more schedual problems, mid-state auditions are the same day as Saul's recital. Boo. So I'm going to try and get an early spot, and still have enough time to jet over to Cookeville before 1. Ah...maybe I'll have a job before then?

God should be the definition of love in the dictionary
November 22 2005
God reminded me of something today. I was kind of feeling a little down about some things and God reminded me how much security i have in Him. His promises to me are secure and reliable. Another thing He told me was that friends will come and go and that doesn't matter. That you shouldn't put all your energy into people or things that aren't for sure always going to be there. I need to do that more. I tend to rely on things of this world when I need to make sure to first see that God is always here...He will always be my rock in my life. But it sometimes hurts to think that some friends might leave you.

Broken Heart and Broken Dreams
November 22 2005
I sat here and wrote you a letter,
One that I will never send.
The feelings that we onced shared,
Had to come to a bitter end.
I gave you my heart,
Something that I can never take back.
In the end I'm left with a broken heart and a broken dream
You said that I was the type of guy you always wanted,
But fear of me hurting you pushed you away.
You always knew that I loved you,
But I knew you would never stay
I shared with you my dreams,
Hoping that one day they would come true.
But, in the end I'm only left with a broken heart and broken dreams.
You blamed the night on alcohol,
A simple way to hide from the emotions you felt.
Everything you said was a lie,
I gave you my heart,
And told you my dreams.
In the end, everything laid broken,
Both my heart and my dreams.
Okay, enough of that depressing entry...
November 22 2005
Well, guys, it's been forever and a day since I've last posted on here. I've had no time/energy to log on and post or check responses. I get like -3 hours of sleep each night...just like everyone else I know, lol! Let's see...Christ is teaching me a lot about being consistent in reading and analyzing His word to seek His wisdom, and about being consitent, more reverent, and more sincere in prayer. Another funny thing He's been showing me is that fellowship is more important than I previously thought. I'm beginning to see that keeping in touch with my brothers and sisters in Christ and continually spurring them on in love in their walk with God is as essential as prayer and reading God's Word.
Anyway, nothing but cool things going on in my life now, so Praise the Ancient of Days!

I am Jack's quality of total hypocrisy
November 22 2005
Well, I wrote a blog about a month ago about how I was happy being single and would everyone please leave me alone (mom). So a week later, God decided to make me into a hypocrite by dropping into my lap a wonderful man who suddenly became the other half of my pair. Yes, indeed. I paired off.
And I like it.
And this time, the relationship is different than it always has been. First off, we are trying to center the relationship on God, not us (good intentions, right?). Second, it's kinda long distance, so we have to talk.
But here is the most amazing part: He hasn't annoyed me yet. How the heck did that happen? Or not happen, as the case may be...
I like this whole relationship thing. I have someone to vent to other than my blog.
On a completely different note:
I have discovered that the words "Christmas Program" and "ulcer" actually come from the same word in Ancient Greek. Hmmmm...coincidence? Heck no!
Here's hoping everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving. Me, I'm thankful for my job, my friends, my family, my apartment, my roommate, my neighbors, my car, my church, God, salvation, colors, oxygen, little bugs....

what a wonderful day
November 22 2005
it rained and was kind of an ugly day, but that didn't keep it from being a wonderful day. i was at samford all day and got to see a lot of people. had an excellent meeting with one of my professors! and got to hang out with old friends all evening.
and here i lay at 3AM, wide awake and thinking. gosh, this hasn't happened since...i can't even remember the last time. i'm pretty sure it was the coffee at 8PM that is still having it's effect on me now.
nonetheless, i'm kinda excited about being back in school for my final year next august. i'm looking forward to what all i can learn. i'm such a nerd :)

SONG QUOTE FOR DAY:
"You always find the words to say.. to keep me right here waiting.."
--------------
FREE WRITE!
Oh, I feel this isn't ending...
And I feel so condescending...
Like I've fallen in place,
To the lowest point on earth,
Just to sit here waiting alone...
God, say that all this is not vain...
There's a reason for all this pain...
To suffer is what makes,
Proofing of all that I'm worth,
Sitting here to wait on my own...
I feel it will remain this way...
From now, until my ending day...
To suffer's what it takes,
Hiding my hearts sick berth...
Til no longer here, left unshown..
