Move along, people.  Nothing to see here.  HTML is being obstreperous, and I need to beat it into submission before properly posting (ah-ha!  Alliteration!  And you thought you'd never see THAT again!!)

a few songs that i heard on the radio on my way home that pertain to my life right now...


Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

I told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hangin' on

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...

Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
~Behind These Hazel Eyes kelly clarkson

You think you've got it
Ohh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it
Till' there's nothing at all
We get together
Ohh, we get together
But seperate's always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say is "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes love the exception
So why  are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here
~Hey Ya by outkast



today has been mind blowing.  to cut right to the chase, danielle and i
have made a contract for one another to get our lives back on track.
the right track. no more of this bullshit that now consumes our life. 
and i feel good about it.  we have much of the same issues and so we
can hold each other accountable for them.  i have no one else to turn
to, and so i turned to God.  I feel good about this, and hopefully my
heart will begin to heal.  i take that back, i know it will begin to
heal.  please understand that these changes in my life have to be made
because right now my life is too destructive for me personally.  
please don't try to coerce me out of something "just this once" because
i will most likely fall. and i do not want to. i will be victorious and
i will begin to heal.  i know it.  i love you all and want you to know
that. 

The Seven Project was a huge success.

I'll make a guess and say that nearly 1,000* people accepted Jesus Christ as their lord and savior Friday night on that football field. I can imagine the party in heaven, all the angels dancing as name after name was added to the book of life.

For more information on the seven project visit www.thesevenproject.com

*update - 11/6/05*

we now know around 400-600 people raised their hands showing they prayed the sinner's prayer.

theres so many things that i need to get out, but putting them on here is not the thing to do.

church was good, i'm glad i went this morning. i took a nap when i got back, really i just now woke up, but the important thing to realize is that i didnt get back till like 2.

last night was pretty cool, except for when the Vols lost, but oh well, i think we all saw that one coming. i got to talk to shannon moran last night for like 2 hours. that was basically the highlight of the weekend. it was definately cool. i went and saw "saw 2" friday night, it was pretty good. dont know which was better, the first or the second. they definately left it to where there could be a third one.

i got homework to do, blah. definatley got some major reading to do.

look at those studs

piece

-------------------
A measure of silence,
Signature to go insane,
Pick up the guitar,
Wail it, release some pain..

Lead your fans forth,
On a venture deep inside,
Show em' all how hard you rock,
And really blow their mind..

Stage left, stage right,
Your followers all around,
Turn it up - Make it loud,
Your feet leave the ground..

Strike your favorite power chord,
And lead them all away..
On journey through your rocking world,
..................The one you hide all day...............
--------------------------

The Love:  I was amazed this weekend when i had a chance to go back to my home church at how many people cared about me.  Right when I walked into the church building i was swarmed with people wanting to know how I was and how school was going and what all i was involved in.  I was very encouraged and it made me feel all special and gave me warm fuzzys on the inside...it made me miss them all :-(

The Crap:  This crap is a very literal crap...massive flocks of birds have invaded my hometown as they do every year.  However, this is the first year that I had to park my car outside instead of in our garage druing this time...They freakin bombed my car all weekend!  I refused to spend any of my precious at-home time washing my car, so ive decided to bring all of my crap from home to you in M-town! hehehe

*You can check out the bomb-sight on my pics

Note to self: Always check bread before eating. It may be moldy. Mmmm... penacillion...

Ok, this is my tenative schedule for next semester (meaning... I really hope this works out!):
MWF- COMM2200 (Fundamentals of Communication)
SOC1010 (Intro to Sociology)

TR- PSY1410 (General Psych Honors)
HIST 2020 (Survey of American History 2... nevermind that I haven't taken 1 yet...)
EMC 2410 (Intro to Electronic Media Communication)

So, if you are planning to take any of those classes, let me know, and maybe we can coordinate being in the same class together.

I wrote a song...

Last Time
Bleeding from my eyes.

The crash comes from inside,

this broke,fragile body holds it

it all inside.

You're nothing but lies.

I've played and lost the dice.

this game you play is always the same.


You're a liar baby

(Give it your all)

Don't say maybe

(you know it's true, yes you do)

You were gonna save me.

(but I'm shot down)

'cause everytime's the last time.


Kisses on the lips.

I feel them through my fingertips.

They meant so much to me.

The butterflies would agree,

Then it all went down from there,

You know i just don't care...


You're a liar baby

(Give it your all)

Don't say maybe

(you know it's true, yes you do)

You were gonna save me.

(but I'm shot down)

'cause everytime's the last time.


We dance..underneath the stars,

Our love was hit by flashing cars.

and now it's over and now it's over...


You're a liar baby

(Give it your all)

Don't say maybe

(you know it's true, yes you do)

You were gonna save me.

(but I'm shot down)

'cause everytime's the last time.

Yes, everytimes the last time,

everytime...is the last time.

Yep, I totally have a new boyfriend.  He's really sweet and goes to the BSU.  He's on my facebook for all you who want to look.  Kim, I know you are especially surprised but he's a  good guy.  I spent like several hours just chillin with him in Mt. Sterling and it was a good night last night.  And if you have been reading my posts, he's the guy I talked to for like 3 1/2 hours the other day.  Lauren, my roommate says she saw it coming but I'm totally oblivious because I didn't.  I liked him but I didn't know if he liked me.  Anyway, thats all for now!

So I found a contest that I'm going to enter. It's a composition contest where I'll write a piece for a brass octet (3 trumpets, horn, 2 trombones, euphonium, and tuba). They said it has to be 3 movements long, 5 min max for each movement. So all together, it will be around 10-15 minutes long. I have till Febuary, so I have time. The first prize is like $1,000, 2nd is $500, and 3rd is $500. I might not win, but it will still be fun to do. And hey, who said I have to use it in that contest!

two new pictures.....

last night rocked and yesterday rocked too!!!!!!!!

Well here is an update on the social!! It was a lot of fun!!  But i think that  I am gonna have to get a date for Black Diamond!! I might have someone in mind..LOL!! But yeah!!

I am gettin really confused on some things right now!! I need my friends to help me through this..To be over to my house in less than 5 mins to sit and listen to me complain about things!! To invite me to go eat Marble Slab at the right time.. Why did all of that go away? I still don't understand!!

It's easier to forget then to forgive.

i dont understand...
i wish this was all a dream

Psalm 13
How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? 
How long will You hide Your face from me? 
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me? 
Consider and answer me, O Lord my God;
Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, 
And my enemy will say, "I have overcome him,"
And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken. 
But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness;
My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. 
I will sing to the Lord,
Because He has dealt bountifully with me

Now this was an one odd little Saturday. Rob was out the door, bright @ like 7am which was just when I woke up. My usual Saturday morning library camp out went alright. I got a good amount of stuff done. Productivity is always nice. Now, I knew that a few of my friends weren't going to be here this weekend, but there was seriously nobody around today. Of course the weekend that nobody is here would be the time the football team scores its first home victory of the season. 45-7 over Arkansas State U. I know it's weird! I went over for like five minutes at around 4:45, and there we were severely lacking in the spectator department. I only saw one person I knew there, so I really had no reason to stay. Well on the bright side I got to spend a bit of time with a friend who's usually pretty busy, and I got to post the Homecoming @ Fall Retreat pictures I got back yesterday. Enjoy!

-James

*Sigh*..I love this girl..thank you for everything Mary

Edit # 2::  New Mall Madness game!!!  Almost kind of makes up for somethings...almost

Edit::  Too bad it only takes one person to ruin that whole awesome day.  Especially when that person is supposed to be your best friend and you just get blown off!

The definition of a good day::

Seeing the new baby in the family...Kamden Jase...ADORABLE!

Going out to eat at Chili's and having a flippin' awesome pita wrap thing!

Going to Wal*Mart and getting groceries bought for you!

Going out to eat with some suitemates and new people!

Going to Kohl's and finding jeans for $12.99

Going to Dollar General to get a sweatshirt for my awesome one I'm getting made!

Not having to drive back to Martin until tomorrow!

eliz

Yeah, seeing that it has been since September since I updated, it is in dire need of an updation.

So, today I went to my brother's soccer games which was kind of cool because I haven't been to one since I was about 9 or 10. Who knew soccer could be so intense?

Tomorrow my crazy family and I are going someplace though I am not quite sure where. Hmmmm it's a mystery.

Forgive me, but I believe Cupid's been sent on an early release, and I was his first victim.

Hey, you naked baby with wings, get a better aim. I honestly believe you have me mixed up with someone else.

Make sense?

Does it ever?

um pretty sure that i'm not going to use this thing anymore.

i like xanga a whole lot better.

but i'll still drop in and leave people remarks and stuff

So Long and Farewell!

song of the day: "Bloodsuckers pt II" by As Cities Burn

well...last night was the EMERY show and it owned. As Cities Burn put on an AWESOME show...they are really really good. i bought their cd and a shirt...and the cd is awesome! next was Gym Class Heroes...they were better than i had originally given them credit for. if you like hip hop in the least, you'd like them. it was really cool. then...holy whoa...He Is Legend. ALL OF THEM ARE CRAZY!! haha. the lead singer ran out frantically in a HUGE top hot, silk vest and wife beater, eye makeup, long brown hair, big ol' beard and threw bread into the crowd from a bagged loaf....haha...it was great...i had NO clue what was going on. they put on a good show. i was down in the pit for that one. then finally, EMERY played. it was crazy-awesome! i was right up front for this one. they opened with So Cold That I Could See My Breath and it was so good. they played a lot of good songs...but not Listening to Freddie Mercury...which made me sad...but they closed with Walls...that was CRAZY!!!! haha. i flipped out. i love that song. at one point, the keyboardist took a mic stand with a mic on it and stuck it into the crowd...Weston and I automatically grabbed it and started singing into it...it was awesome! the lead singer also shook my hand in the crowd, which i was cool...i just stuck out my hand, and he acknowledged it and shook my hand...it was really cool. but yeah...the showed kicked. didn't get home till 2 in the morning..but oh well..it was worth it...rock!

-KYLE

Don't really have much to say. All I know is that this thing is SOOOO much better than xanga. But yea....I'm gonna go now.

Michael Vick's bro, Marcus Vick is playing right now. Man, Marcus is just as fast, if not faster than Michael , their both like lightning fast man, but I think Michaels faster though. If nobody is open, thats not a problem, they can't touch either of them.IT'S FOOTBALL TIME!!! GO VIRGINA TECH!!!

WOW I'M REALLY BORED! and i'm tired of xanga at the moment so i'm gonna post on phuseboz instead. yeah....REALLY bored now. and i'm watching meet the fockers. and it SUCKS ass. it really sucks. and u know, i think i'm gonna go to sleep now..i'm too tired to do ne thing else.

I'm coloring my hair.
it is going to be brown.
Hopefully for a while this time.
haha. so yeah, brown hair.
New pics up of last night however tomorrow.

Where'd all the good people go?
Warning:I'm destructive

i just got home from playing paintball... there's still some more to the party, so i'll put pictures on here after that...

Currently Listening
The Triptych

see related- The Tide Begins to Rise Glory be to God! He is wonderful! I don't know why He puts up with my stupidity, he's just so patient and loving! He's SO gracious! Thank you Father!  Gloria Patri,      Nathan, an adopted son

So this weekend I volunteered at a youth conference by Dare 2 Share.  D2S is an organization that equips teenagers to share their faith.  I've been involved with them for about 5 years now, since whenever they firt started coming to Charlotte.  The past couple years I've been running one of the two stationary cameras.  But this year, I was sadly disappointed when I learned that I wouldn't be needed in that way.  Actually, I was asked to be the assistant stage manager.  What a cool opportunity!  I couldn't believe how planned out everything was.  It was defintely crazy, but I learned so much!  I also enjoyed getting to know the members of the band, the main speakers, the actors, the sound & stage crew, etc.  They are definitely a great group of guys!  Now I'm exhasuted...off to catch up on some zzzz's...

so who would have thought that after 13 applications i still wouldn't have a job???!!1

go ahead and laugh it is gettign really funny!

One point to decide is-will I give up? Will I surrender to Jesus Christ, placing no conditions whatsoever as to how the brokeness will come? I must be broken from my own understanding of myself. When I reach that point, immediately the reality of the supernatural identification with Jesus Christ takes place. And the witness of the Spirit of God is unmistakable--"I have been crucifed with Christ....."

~Oswald Chambers

thats all!

Hey guys... I just got back from Dalton, GA where I competed in a Martial Arts tournament today. I saw it online last weekend and was just like..... "U know, I haven't trained for this; I'm not prepared; I'll probably come back with some type of horrible injury cause my reflexes are so slow now, but oh well.... Let's do it." So, I went down there and took 4th in forms and 4th in sparring. I feel like there was some homecookin when it came down to the sparring, but I can tell ya bout that in person. (can't really renact it here... which is nessecary for the edification of all) But I was complimented by many of my fellow fighters and many people in the stands were impressed by my technique. One fighter asked where I trained, so I told him, "Well, I haven't trained in a dojo in about 3 yrs, and I've just been foolin around at college." He didn't believe me. But when he asked me a second time, and heard my dad back it up, he said, "Wow, I couldn't imagine if you were training." So.... all that to say, I felt really good about the day. However, I would not be so naive as to fail to mention where all of this came from. I thank the Lord for His gift to me, and if it were not from the patience and discipline that I have learned from Him (not just M.A.), I would have never progressed this far. To God be the glory, great things He has done.

Fours years of Cross Country is over..it is like Nicky said "Cara just dumped her boyfriend of four years, his name was Cross Country"

yeah well the predators lost in a shoot out. but that goal should have been dis allowed. is it because im a pissed off fan that just lost their fifth straight? that might have something to do with it. roenick slide into vokoun and then put it in. thats how i saw it. if im wrong tell me how then be prepared to get beat up. they did outplay us. but i just remembered something that is insanley lol aweomse lol holy crap. i cant say of course, but whoa. anyways. LEGWAND HAS GOT TO STEP UP. ok he got a penatly shot and im not saying cause he missed it, but he was supposed to turn into an all star. hes my boy and all but needs to get some buscuits in the baskets so to speak. i hate the kings. they out shot us 21 to 2 in the third period. whaaat?

anyways.

there was a fight last night at the rink, two ghetto white girls of course. and of course i was the first one in there to break it up. i was thinking about letting it go and see what would happen, like the nhl refs should do, but i didnt wanna lose my job. lol but i thought they where joking until big girl over here nails little girl in the face,. sweet shot. lol. then little girl jumps on big girl. and thats when i come and rip litttle girl offf. lol then matt comes and holds big girl back and she gets one last hard slap to the face and i laughed lol it was crazy, then i skated little girl off to the corner, it was great fun.

anyways

-predators
im still here
show me something.

Today I ate kindered elk and deer chili.

Today was an odd day.

SO tonight is mallard ball!!! It is gonna be soo much fun!!! I am going again without a date!! But ohh well!! I will still have fun!!! Going with my Orange Hat!! HAHA!! Jessica, her date, Katelyn, and I are all riding there together!! So that will be fun!!! Life is going pretty great right now!! College is good, GOD is good, and therefore life is great!! I will try and get a pic up here of what i look like sometime soon!! Well I am gonna go!! I will write more later!!

If I wanted to cheer for a school this crappy, I would've settled for MTSU.

friend requests are fun, you guys should give me more.

This is a bitter-sweet day.  Today is my grandparents (mother's side...i am closest to) 56th anniversary.  How exciting!!!  To be married to the love of your life for 56 years!!!  That is the sweet part, now for the bitter.  My grandmother has been sick for a couple of weeks.  Just forgetful, tired, kinda distant at times.  Well, this week she has gotten severly worse.

I ask you with all my heart to pray for my grandmother and my family.  We are all worried and don't know what to do.  My grandparents are 77 year old and still going strong.  They love life and don't act or look like 77 year old's.  I love them with all my heart and have spent summer's with them since I was old enough to crawl.  I don't want to lose her, but have put this in God's hands, I know He has a plan and it is perfect.  If anyone EVER needs anything don't hesitate to ask.

PLEASE pray hard!!!

in God's hands~ ash

Why is i that we pay thousands of dollars to go to school and learn things that we don't really want to learn? I am tired of writing english papers. Shannon and I went to watch Jarhead last night, it was amazing, if you don't mind the cussing to much. It is a true to life movie if you want to know about hte life of a soldier. It made me realize a lot of the aspirations I have to be a sniper for the Rangers, they are truly the best of the best. And the bast part about it is that it fits my personality very well, and it probably doesn't hurt that I am not scared to die. God will show me what to do though and His plan is better than any plans I could make for myself. Well UT is getting the crap beat out of them. . . . GO IRISH!!. I know that I shouldn't say that but come on RUDY remember. These guys are good and they play with heart. Well I guess that this is all that I have time to write at the moment. Hasta la victoria siempre.

moonlight madness was pretty fun
first we saw clemency,
a band that's still hott and rockin. aha
then we headed off to rock climbing
which I did not do because..
Jamie doesnt do heights. -_-
yeah, I considered it but everytime I looked up
I shook my headed and walked away ahaha.
for most of the time these I got to hang out
with Claire, Lauren, & John
which was fun because we have weird conversations.
we just layed around on these really comfortable mats
people are supposed to be falling on.
I got to spend a lot of time with Chad when he wasnt
climbing..ahaha ^_^
then Josh ruined it my sitting on me, thanks Josh.
next stop was lazer tag which I liked aha
because I could actually handle it.
but before we got there we had to walk at least
a block to get to where we wanted to go..and
let me remind you, we were in nashville at like 1:30
in the morning..that's when all the drunk people come out
and it scared me a little and I didnt make eye contact, ahaha
and I was b*sizzle and claire was flava flav.
fo sho, yo
ahahahah, I shot the crap out of chad one game
but he got me more..:shakes head:
I came last in that game ahaha
after a few games of lazer tag we all went to
jackson heights and watched princess bride.
I love that movie, it cracks me up
the last stop was lamar's.
donuts and coffee, which by the way
the coffee just makes you want to gag there,
so please dont drink it :]

oh chad if you are reading this 1] I did see that
homeless guy under the bridge 2] I was going to say
something really nice, but ohwell you dont believe me
3] I had a good time & you're right, I couldnt not
talk to you the whole trip..then it just wouldnt have been fun.

okayokay, I love you guys :]
but you're stinking at the comments..

It's just me, updating about my boring ass life, on Friday I went to Dani's house, hung out, and ate with Max, Frances, Cameron, and Greg, that was fun, but Max got in trouble so that sucks but other than that the night was fun.

So guys...some AMAZING things have been happening to me lately...GOD IS SO PRESENT in my life right now, and I thank Him for it.

So first...A few weeks ago, we had a celebration service since our church got 100 acres of new land.  They set up a big tent on the property, and we had the service there!  Isn't that completely AWESOME!?  The sermon was so fitting, touching, encouraging, and inspiring, that I remembered just how AWESOME God is, and I strengthened my faith that day.  That day was just too awesome to put into words.

Then, Judgement House.  May I just say, this is the first time I ever went, and guys, IT WAS AMAZING!  The message was completely real, touching, inspiring, it was just AMAZING you guys.  I went on Wednesday with my brother, and I thought, how cool is this!?  The scene with Heaven even made me teary-eyed.  I thought about how lucky we are to have such a forgiving, loving, awesome God.  Then, I took a friend on Thursday.  She's new to Christ, and me and my family are sort of the ones who helped her come to Christ.  When she was 1st interested, I gave her my backpack Bible, because I felt like God was telling me to give it to her.  Guys, you don't know how much she says it means to her...she thanks me, and tells me she reads it.  Isn't that great!  Helping someone come to Christ is one of the best feelings that you can ever feel.  During the summer, my church always does a series, and we started taking her to youth.  She came to Christ, and now she continues to go to youth every week.  This is especially good cause her family owns a bed-and-breakfast, and on the weekends they go down there.  They haven't really found a good church there yet.  My next goal is to get her baptized.  She wants to do it so bad.  She knew some about the Rapture, but seeing her reaction to Judgement House was just completely AMAZING!  She didn't understand some stuff before, but after she went through it, and when we were done I explained it more to her, she thought that that was so cool.  She said that she will miss me so much when I move, cause I'm the one who helped her come to God.  How AMAZING is that u guys!?

Then, last Saturday at church, we were singing.  I've been thinking about how we have to move.  Although I'm excited, I'm sad at the same time.  Sometimes I think of how hard it may be to not see my friends everyday, how much I love it here.  I've made so many great friends, and I've just made some new ones.  I was unsure of how it may be, although I've gone through it b4, but when we were singing, God said "Everything's going to be okay."  I felt like He was giving me a BIG HUGE HUG.  In that moment, I had a sense of peace, and I felt like everything was going to be okay.  We have to have faith.  We have to trust God.  It reminded me of how sometimes it may be hard, we have to have faith, and we have to trust, God will get you through anything and everything.  ...

and one of my friends is going through something right now.  It's nothing bad or anything, but he just wants some answers.  I'm not sure what, but he just asked us to pray for him.  While searching for words to give him encouragement, those were some of the words I told him.  God will get you through anything and everything.  And it was really cool too, because I was on Mary Lauren Sunshine's site.  I heard part of her song before, but today, I took the time to listen to it more closely.  Some of the words..."What am I"...how simple yet powerful, I thought.  Who are we really, to deserve such a loving, forgiving, awesome God?  And she found a quote from 1984 that we are reading in English.  Guys...it's cool!  Visit her site at my_heart_song.  But during the time of listening to the song, and writing her a comment, the words came to me, God just gave them to me right then and there, and I went to his site and wrote him a REALLY long comment.  Pray for him please.

And I've been told a lot lately by my friends how they think I'm an awesome person, and how my passion for Jesus is AMAZING!  In Biology, Kelsey Belle said it in front of some people, and it just felt...like amazing.   And Andrea Schreiber, who I haven't seen in forever...since 8th grade in fact...finally saw her at J-House!...I only talked to her for like 2 minutes, and she just left me one of the sweetest comments ever.  She said she was so glad we remembered eachother, and she loved my passion for Jesus!  She's absolutely one of the sweetest people I know...Andi, I LOVE U! 

So, yeah, been feeling really cool, cause God's so cool, so just pray for me as God continues to be AWESOME!

Ur smiles make me smile , and Jesus loves u and so do I!

I bewail the actuality that Paul and Russell are of the inimical tenet that my extemporaneous compilation of an agglomeration of thoughts was grandiloquent or inscrutable. I am utterly woebegone and shall, henceforth, endevour to bowdlerize my posts and thus ameliorate the situation.

Haha.. Jk guys.

Ok... so that was bad, sorry. I was doing it without using a dictionary or thesaurus so that may have been able to be a bit more circomlocutious if I hadwanted to.

No really though I don't mean to be and if I sound as if I am attempting to be formal, I apologize. It's the way I write. I wish I could just type out a blog as you all do. Anyway thanks for the comments.  ;-)
Thanks Russ, Thanks Paul.  :-)

It's 10:45 AM, I've been up for 6 hours when normally on a Saturday, I wouldn't be awake for another hour or so.

At the Drill Meet in CELL HELL!

Havin' myself a blast.  We've got a ton of food and good music and good friends.  I'll probably be here until midnight or so, but that's okay.  I'm having fun.  ^_^

P.S.  One good thing about Phusebox being so young is that the school system hasn't blocked it yet!  *score*

ughhh its so lame when someone will say one thing
& then do the opposite.
then you do something they dont think is right
& they c o m p l e t e l y judge you for it..
then go around & talk about you like your some kind of
criminal.
why cant someone just talk to you about it
& say it to your face.


sure ive made some mistakes in the past.
who hasn't?
& some i do wish i could erase.
but im only human.
everyone makes mistakes.
not just me.
right??

wheres the forgiveness & grace?

why do people spread rummors??

is it just to make ourselves look good?

well it hurts.
& i HATE knowing that im being talked about.
its stupid.
& especially when i dont even know what ive done..

QUESTION 4 you guys:
why can't a guy & a girl be good friends & NOT be going out?
& why is it so wrong for them to talk if they're not together?

i just dont get it.


sorry about all this guys
but i had to get it out somewhere
&& ive had a really bad week.
i hope your weekend is going much better than mine.
be safe. <3

ps. please be praying for my friend audrey, her brother died wednesday night in a wreck. her week has been even worse. + her bday is sunday. its been rough.

God is so cool!!!!!! I am in Salt Lake city, Utah and drving to San Francisco!!! I am so excited about seeing the Golden Gate bridge!!! Yeah!!! I will be home in about 2 and half weeks!!!

i need direction
to perfection

So today has been harsh...A slight misunderstanding leads to a painful breakup. Nothing seems to be going right now days. I can't please anyone. Guys always lead to heartbreak. And parents are totally over-rated.

Yesterday was are home game. We lost. Which totally blows. 0-10 not a big loss but a big enough one to ruin our chances of makeing it to the playoffs.

So how was the cheer compatition? That was one thing that had my heart beating. Our squad made first.

Whats the great news. Well Im going to the AAR concert (All American Rejects) A great band in my book<3 Im thrilled and can't wait. Hopefully its as exciting as Warped Tour, but I doubt that.

&hearts; Me

 
i love chels <3

if you cant tell from the title... i was in a wreck... yeh... my bro was drivin... we were headin to church... a guy in a red truck (Chris Goins... senior at Oakland) was turning left on Greenland... turned a little late though... and we couldnt stop... i remember i was lookin down... and i look up and see nothing but red... yeh so i got out of the car and at first i was mad... but then it hit me... "wait... we wanted to get rid of that car anyways..." so yeh... me and stephen were laughin and jokin around... then chris morgan came and he was gonna take me to church... u know... since the car was gone... but yeh... so i ended up havin to wait for like and hour and a half just to tell the cop my name b-day and middle initial... what the crap... well while we were still outside i wasnt hurt at all... i fealt like any other day... so i went to church and after sittin through the half of service i didnt miss... i got really really tense... and sore... o god so sore... well ms jeanna took me home and as we got there stephen and my mom were on there way to the emergency room and were like "hey are u hurt at all cuz my wrist is killin me were gonna go to the hospital".. so i told my mom about my neck and she  told me i should go too... come to find out i have whiplash... bad... that night i couldnt hardly sleep cuz i was in so much freakin pain... i left school early thursday and i didnt go to school friday... but today... i feel 100% fine... kinda wierd... i go from horrible pain... to absolutely fine... but yeh... im not complainin... haha... ok but i am kinda ticked.... i was makin some advertisements for phusebox... and i spent like 5 hours workin to play with some stuff and make it look good... and i finally finish and im so happy... i go to upload them... and it didnt upload... so that kinda ticks me off.... but ill tell u what they were... one was a hot air balloon... it was cool... one was a billboard that said "War on Iraq is NOT the answer... PhuseboxBETA... now theres an answer" and then one was a cut out of a arbys cup that i turned sideways and put to a mountain background... i put a cape on it and it was "Captain Phusebox" it was the funniest ad iv ever seen... thats for sure... but yeh... i couldng get them to upload... and that still ticks me off... i emailed them to Beck and he told me to try the copy he sent me and that still didnt work... i have no idea why it wouldnt work... i did the exact same thing with those as i did with my profile picture... i took the original... and i colored it... what the crap... oh well... im still workin on it...  but yeh... i dont really know what to say anymore... this has probably been the most boring post ever made... and i probably sound like a nerdy freshman... haha... oh well... whatever... im out

This week has really been absolutely nothing. And when I say that I mean it had no purpose. Nothing seemed exciting at all. The only thing that seems to be exciting recently is Ultimate Frisbee. And trust me it really is. The end of the six weeks is up so I hope I did well on my report card. I think I probably did. It's already the third six weeks! It's going by faster then anything. And one thing that did happen this week. Is that I am now single again. So yeah I guess that's something that has happened. Hopefully next week will be more interesting. So I guess leave me comments. Peace

"sweet jesus" by all star united

Sweet Jesus, wash over me
Would come and sweep me off of my feet, please
It's been two long weeks since You've heard me speak
And I was hoping that You might like to meet me
I heard You heal the broken hearted
Even those who've been discarded
Oh how I need You
I need to hear You say
Need to hear You say

Don't worry now
Don't worry how
Everything just seems to all work out
Would You sing me now to sleep

Sweet Jesus, wash over me
Would come and sweep me off of my feet, please
It's been far too long since I've sang Your song
And I was hoping that You might like to meet me
I heard You heal the broken hearted
Even those who've been discarded
Oh how I need You
I need to hear You say
Need to hear You say

Don't worry now
Don't worry how
Everything just seems to all work out
Would You sing me now to sleep

Things will never be perfect. I will wait for that in heaven. Until then, I will praise Him in everything. Whether it's five days ago, and I am confused to no end, or it's two hours ago and life is peachy keen. I will praise Him. I pray that I will never forget His suffering and the price He paid. James wrote a letter to me and said, "My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,  knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience." Amen, brother.

Life is always changing. However, it seems like things are turning more than ever now. I'm not sure exactly how to explain so I won't try for now. I stuggle to find purpose and success in my life, but the answers may be peeking through the haze. I'm also seeing more and more why He has me single. There is a definate purpose in that. Praise God!

---

Edit:
Even as I wrote this two hours ago, God was working. It's time to step up to the microphone. It's time to be stronger than ever. He has a plan and a purpose with everything. I'm excited to be a part of that!
Father, I'm ready to ride!

Wow..I blog on here a lot more than on Myspace.

So once again here I sit...Lindsay just left, so now I'm sad..til tomorrow when i get to see her again.  I don't know what it is, but when I'm with her it's like nothing matters anymore...none of my problems bother me...and for just that brief moment in time we are the only two people on the planet and everything is alright.  I honestly think that she's the one..and yeah we've talked about getting married and stuff...and truthfully if I thought we could make it financially I'd marry her tomorrow...but I know we can't, so I'm actually trying to save money.  I know it's not like we're getting married next month or something like that, but I know every little bit that I can save now will help in the long run....its just hard right now with school and all cuz we're both not working a lot and well you get the idea.  Just pray for us.

I love her with everything I am... and I think that she deserves the best...so maybe that's why I feel like I have to get her things all the time..and yeah it's gonna take some adjusting to not being able to get her as much or take her out as much cuz we're trying to save money...I dunno...I guess I feel like a cheapskate because I was always taught that the guy should pay for everything, so that's what I try to do.

I really don't know where I'm going with this.  I'm sleepy and I miss Lindsay...there...that's the bottom line.  Good night.

so, going on the fall retreat...i'll be back on sunday...and im really excited about this yeah...though, it is also coupled with monotony cause we do the same thing every year, i love all the seniors going...so yeah, fun times

plus, i got my old job back...only working 3 days a week

and, im taking a college day to Union on Friday...cool

i feel hurt right now, but i cant bring my self to explain why and what for. :(

piece

"Nothing gives a fearful man more courage than another's fear."
~ Umberto Eco

You ever feel like you were plopped down on Earth for a tediously specific reason?  That you're really supposed to be doing Something, but have no idea what that might be or where to begin?  Like the quote (yeah, another) that one should "live the life you were born to."  And you're kind of paranoid about messing your destiny up, even if it IS destiny and will happen regardless.  (Some ways are just less painful than others.  Take Oedipus, for example.  Boy, did HE screw up his 'Destine Path.')  And then feel really presumptious to even suppose that your purpose is any grander than another person's?  But still feel caught between your passions and what you feel pulled to do, yet not knowing which is which or even what?

And then type a really long-winded MySpace Blog paragraph about it?

I thought so.  That makes two of us, at any rate.

(Four days.  Shh, it's a secret. )

Well Jennifer has pancreatitis which is definitely better than cancer. It could have various effects on her so we are praying that she will endure, and that God will give her the strength! I was listening to a song today! Check this out! It's so awesome because to grow into the heart of God, we have to first be broken of ourselves! Remember that even if the road is tough, know that Christ has an awesome future in store for you!
Third Day "Mountain of God"

Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

And I didn't even know
That I had lost my way
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

'Til You opened up my eyes
I never knew
That I couldn't ever make it
Without You

Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again

Sometimes I think of where it is I've come from
And the things I've left behind
But of all I've had, what I possessed
Nothing can quite compare
With what's in front of me
With what's in front of me

So a few weeks back I met a guy

wait. . .Adam and I are over. we're just friends. . .this story isn't about him

this guy came over and knocked on my apartment door on Tuesday night.

We went and saw a movie on Wednesday.

He came over thursday and we began to watch a movie. . .but didn't finish it

he came over again tonight(being friday, not saturday) and we finished it. . .

He's a nice guy. I hope those at home would approve of this one. . .My roomies do. so that's an accomplishment in itself. . .

I told him to call me. . .we'll see what happens :)

It's Friday, it's Friday, it's friday,friday,friday. No School.Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!! Man our teacher was weird today , we were learning about slaves. So our teacher treated some of us like slaves and others got to get on the computer and stuff, we had no idea. But at about halve way through the day they had to do all the work we did, so it would be fair.

the legend of zorro movie was a HUGE disappointment ...

but i still have the best friends anyone could ask for...

although i'm a little suspicious about one or two of them...but it'll be ok

i'm going to the fall retreat at new frontiers this weekend...

gonna play me some paintball and go down a zipline...should be fun...

Even though its new frontiers and i've been there the past 4 years...but what can i say...

leave some comments.

love in Christ,

So things have been going good lately..I think that something is gonna happen...but we will wait and see... Dena knows exactly what I am talking about.... lol!!!

But yeah...Well I am gonna go!! I need to some sleep!! LOL!! I will write more later!!  

I haven't written much with meaning in a while. So I thought I would catch you guys up a bit.
My back is getting better. It is nice to be back working instead of just laying around. I mean, naturally I would love to just lay around for the rest of my life. Who wouldn't? But I hated thinking about all the things that I needed to get done and couldn't do. So it's nice to only take a rest break every once in a while from work instead of taking a work break from resting.
Next week is the urban ministry retreat. We are setting aside 3 days to pray and fast for God's direction for the urban ministry. It's so exciting to think that we are beginning this ministry, almost from the ground up. Most of the previous urban ministry has disappeared, so we are creating. But God is being very specific about us seeking Him during this time. It is incredible to co-create with God like this.
The guys on the base has bought air soft guns. There are little neon green pellets all over the base from their wars, and I think everyone has at least one red mark on their body from being shot. Tonight we had a shoot out in the dining room. At one point, I was literally crawling on the floor on my stomach under the tables picking up pellets to reload the guns. I don't know if any of you guys are into these air soft guns, but they are highly addictive. Now they are looking online to buy faster, better guns. I don't think they are going to get over these any time soon.
God and I have had some hard times this week. There is a lot that I don't want to go into details about, but I have gone back and forth with being highly disappointed in Him. Sometimes I feel like He is wanting me to go so much deeper with Him but my flesh is really kicking up against that. And then sometimes I just want to pack up, take my life back, and move back to TN because I'm just so frustrated. It will work out I'm sure, but it's just tough for now.
Oh, and 19 days until Rent!!!! Yeah!!!!

i know where i want to go
i know what i want to be
i know who my real friends are
i know my family loves me
i know we're capable of loving
i know what i need to feel content
i know where my home is
i know that things are changing
i know that i'm growing up
i know what i need to do
i know i'm happy...excited...anticipating something wonderful
i know that i try to understand
i know i'm just a small being in this big world
i know i can accomplish anything i want
i know you're there for me
i know that i'm there for you
i know what i feel about anything there's reason to feel
i know that i miss you
i know i'm ready to take that first step

i know that there's something that i don't know: something is missing...
i know that i can't figure out what it is...

i know...doubt-?

'an aching inside speaking to me, how could i feel like this?'

i know the ache will fade
i know i'll find peace
i know it'll all be a-okay, john mayer says so

.i know.

So, pretty much everyone here in Louisville is sick. Or at least I am. Snezzy Coughy Soar throat, all that shiz is not in my fun book. But, what can you do, "Shit happens" ive heard, i say it. Thats all ive got for now.

I went to East Coffee Elementary's fall festival tonight(that's where my mom teaches and she always recruits me to work for her game).  The prizes we had to offer were not great if they won and we had an excessive amount of "hippie necklaces" and tops, however these were the 2 least popular.  So I started wearing a hippie neckless and encouraging all of the kids to choose it as a prize when they won...telling them how cool they were and that it was all the rage among college students.  Within 20 mins. the line to my moms game was huge!...all with kids wanting to win a hippie necklace!  It was so funny.  Eventually, we ran out of them, so I started playing with the tops(our cheepest prize) and guess what happened?...that's right all the kids started choosing tops instead.  It was so much fun manipulating their little minds.  Oh and by the way, at the end of the night i won a digital camera...not a good digital camera, but I won it for 1 dollar nevertheless.

*ok...so i tried putting a pic of both of them on this blog, but it i couldn't get it to not be freakin HUGE...so if you want to see um, look at my pics

Tomorrow.

OHS Invitational Drill Meet.  The 10th one, I think?  Anyways.  The number doesn't matter.

What matters is that I get to be locked in the room doing the job that is considered to be the most important in running a drill meet:

adding numbers on a calculator.

I get to double check scores and correct them if they're tallied wrong [they often are]. 

Ooh!  And I get to sit in the JROTC room all day and not leave at all unless I have to pee so bad my bladder is about to explode.  And by all day I mean from about 5:45 AM to 6:00 or 7:00 PM.

What can I say?  Scoring cell is the best of the best.  Yee-haw.

It is cool, though, that we're allowed to have food.  We get to sit down all day instead of running around.  We get to listen to music and mess around more than the other kids working the drill meet do.

We're buying breakfast for ourselves.  Amber is making scrambled  eggs or something, I'm buying donuts, and Andrew is getting some bearclaws or something.

AND TATER IS HELPING US!!!

Jacob Kennedy, our BNCO from last year, was invited by Colonel to come back and help with scoring cell.  So we get to hang out with Tater a.k.a Bambi all day.  ^_^

I know that a lot of other schools have good drill teams and that they have a lot of fun with drill.  But they're really missing out when they don't get to run their own meet.

So life has been, this week, extremely difficult. Today, however, I went motorcycling, and it was amazing. I forced myself to let other things go and to try not to think. This, the whole not thinking thing, has always been difficult for me. It was extremely refreshing.

Hi, guys... mmm. September 8th that's a long time.

So yeah lots going on right now. Went and saw Chicken Little with my family tonight. funny movie. 

So yeah the title of this entry goes along with this week. my head is kind of like a top. When it starts to slow down from turning... someone spins it again. 

Any suggestions...

Well... what can I say. I volunteered to run a followspot for Rocky
Horror at the MTSU theatre. I've never seen it before, and I wish I
hadn't. It's cheesy. It's stupid. It's just wrong! However, the
technical aspect of it is awesome. I've never seen a show quite like
it, and i hate to say it, but it may inspire some things that I might
like to try in church one day. I've got a few of the songs stuck in my
head. This is gonna scar me for life...

Okay, so here's a story about me a few years ago. My church had just
built a new sanctuary. We were having some trouble with the new
technical systems, especially with the video screens. So anyway, I was
sitting behind the lighting booth, either praying or reading my Bible
during a church service, when both of the video screens suddenly start
acting weird and switch off. I just kinda ignore it and go back to what
I was doing. Suddenly, I hear this voice. "Michael," it whispered,
"Michael!" Thinking that it is the Almighty I look up and ask, "yes
Lord?" Then I hear it again, "Michael!" Then I look back and see the
technical director standing behind the camera. He asks me to run the
camera while he fixes the problem with the video screens.

Of course its juz like me to fall for the guy whose taken!!! I knew it was gonna happen when we started hanging out ... AHHHHH ... I juz wanna be with somebody I wanna be with ... without having to think of anyone or anything else!!! But I dont understand why hes with HER!!! She treats him soo badly ... it juz bothers me ... I wish he'd juz open his eyes!!!!

<33333  Elaine

So there's this boy.

Who met this girl

They are kinda odd...

Okay, they're really odd

Sometimes they don't understand the world

But in the end....

Love always prevails.

mWaH*!*!*!

so, now I've gotten into this really cool Japanese singer guy. He's awesome. His name is Gackt and here he is:

1st period--Bio--got a freakin 86 on a test that i didn't even get to study for. boy am i proud. i pretty much like that class.

2nd period--Alg. II--Mrs. Simmons is so sweet. i like that class ok. it's just kinda boring. but i'm doin pretty good. nothing too exciting today.

3rd period--History--had one mother of a test today. I really don't care what Aristotle believed or how The Clouds affected Socrates. but it's sorta interesting.

4th period--Spanish II--not much fun today. but w/e.

5th period--Chamber Choir-- i really like the songs were currently doing. Storey and i mouthed things across the room to each other. that's about it.

6th period--English II--i like mr. davis ok..he's a bit sarcastic for my taste. but oh well. the class i ok.

i'm currently watching Dateline. fun times. well, i guess i should go start packing. muchos love-os. ----Carito-Cheeto 

 The Princess Bride is the best movie ever! I hadn't seen it in a while and so as my roomie abandoned me I watched it tonight! yay! so it's time for some wonderful quotes!!!!!

W- "Hear this now- I will always come for you."

B- "How can you be sure?"

W- This is True Love. You think this happens everyday?"

---

 I do not accept excuses. I am just going to have to find myself a new giant

---

E- "Who are you?!?!"

W- "No one of consequence."

E- "I must know."

W- "Get used to disappointment."

---

   "I do not envy you the headache you will have when you awake,    but in the meantime- rest well, and dream of LARGE women."

---

"She is alive - or at least she was an hour ago - if she is otherwise when I find her, I will be very PUT OUT!"

---

life IS pain, highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something

---

B- "We will never survive!"

W- "Nonsense. You're only saying that because no one ever has."

---

"Yes you're very smart. Now, shut up!"

---

You can't hurt me. Wesley and I are joined by the bonds of love

-and you cannot track that

not with a thousand bloodhounds

-and you cannot break it

not with a thousand swords

- and when I say that you are a coward

that is only because youa are the slimiest weakling

to ever crawl the earth

---

    ...and thank you so much for bringing up something so painful.     Why didn't you just give me a nice paper cut and pour some lemon juice in it?

---

" Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. The you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- his good, pleasing, and perfect will." - Romans 12:2

"He has made everything BEAUTIFUL in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." -Ecclesiastes 3:11

these two verses have helped me through this week.. the week i thought i'd never get through but God didnt let me down :]]

Yeah, is there any other way to put that? Didn't think so....

Wow, my last entry was a month ago....And band is finally over, so I have my life back. But apparently I'm sitting at home, bored (about to resort to...dare I say it.....voluntarily going to the coffee shop) so having my life back may not be a good thing.

It's quiet. Really, really quiet.
