i know this might sound bad on my part for putting this up here, but i want to cause it's inronic.

Dr. Benjamin Spock said that we shouldnt spank our kids cause it might warp their minds and mess up their personalities. too bad his son committed suicide. yes thats a horrible thing, and sad, but shouldnt the "expert" doctor know what he's talking about.

so anyways, i like this cold weather. and the campus sure is peaceful when it's cold like this. i like it.

i got to eat lunch with the mayor today, it was cool. i had to skip a class to do it, but oh well, but dont tell.

played some basketball tonight, that was amazingly fun.

thats amy chillin in economics.

This photo was brought to you by the Jewish Fashion Conspiracy.  It's pretty freakin' hilarious.  I think you should check it out.

In the meantime:

Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes, but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time -- The Mamas and the Papas

Heard this song on the radio today.  It made me think of - well, today.  Today being Monday and all.  Not to mention that it was kinda lame.  Was running just a teensy bit late, then I discovered my car covered in frost.  The frost was not very cooperative about scraping off.  Everything I tried to improve my visibility only made it worse.

I wound up having a nervous breakdown about not being able to make my car be go, being late, getting detention, and all that mess.  My dad declared "Mental Heatlh Day!"  And I went back to bed.  As much as I thoroughly enjoy being at home and not being at school, I know it would have been better if I had gone.

*shrug*

Oh well.

I almost forgot:  had my first "session" with Dr. I-can't-spell-her-name, and I like her.  She's really cool.

Umm.

Good night?

Yup. I did it. I wore the same outfit two days in a row. And it felt good.

So we had rehearsal tonight. It was so much fun. I can already tell that I'm going to love this play. I don't know if its that we're doing a better play, or if its just the mixture of people. But rehearsal just has a really good vibe around it. And its pleasant, fun, and entertaining. At my request, we're going to try to end every rehearsal by dancing to the Charlie Brown theme song. Oh yes. 

The first 30 minutes of rehearsal were spent talking about peeing in the shower. Turns out i'm like the only person in drama who doesn't pee in the shower. Someone tell me I'm not crazy. I like to get clean in the shower. Not piss everywhere. And I've never peed in a sink, or a bottle. Yea, shoot me, I'm a freak.

Today was one of those days, where things aren't going that great, but you're in an amazing mood for no apparent reason. It was great, I haven't had such a good day, or been in sucha  good mood, in a very long time. I hope its a sign of what's to come.

So yea, Chicago here I come. Looking at colleges in Chicago, Planning a trip to visit colleges in Chicago. I cannot wait. I'm moving on up.

I'm meeting so many awesome people here lately. Expanding your friend circle, feels damn good. Embrace it.

Oh and also, I broke my streak on Saturday when I wore my brown courds. Hardly anyone noticed that I wore the same jeans for 24 days in a row. lol. wow. Don't worry, I washed after three wears. I'm in love with them though. Only because they're the only ones that aren't too big and fall off of me when I walk.

This weekend can't come soon enough. Deathcab concert on Friday. A Halloween get-together on Saturday (since I can't go see Rocky Horror with Macy, Anne, and Casey)

Woo.

So I was like,
"I think I'll update"
then i was like,
"I have nothing to say"
Simple enough,
I went to starbucks with my Teresa Bear.
The amount of sugar I took in,
may cause me to have diabetes.

freezeitsthecia (8:55:23 PM): i dont know if youve ever played a sport but like say you missed the winning shot and cost the game everytime you think about it, it just birngs you down more and more each time beacuse there was a chance for greatness but now you realized it got messed up somewhere. either you werent good enough, timing was off, or it just was never supposed to happen..so to speak.

ha ha ha. lol dang
whats been going on? nothing much here, i played hockey again today and it was beautiful. we had three on three with a goalie. and if little freshman ethan plays then well be pretty good. cause we all work the puck nicely. you get frsuterated in a scrimmage if your losing but then you think wait these other guys are going to be on my team lol so it doesnt matter. wore some long johns cause it was freaking cold, and i added some nice new cuts to my legs. beauitful. i actually bought a book today. havent started it yet, but im definitely think its going to help my present situation. but im alright if you know what i mean. i mean predators are 7-0. ye haw. going to a game in about a month. lol got some great tickets. crap. no i gotta stop thinking. lol ok you dont know what im talking about.
so i leave you with a verse from damien rice's volcano.
"its just another phase
of finding what i really need
is what makes me bleed."

 Yeah, this year has been stressful, I've really had to rely on God's help just to cope with everything. It's a good thing because I was starting to ignore Him. I've really had to lean close to Him lately cuz I just really don't have friends at school that I can grow with spiritually. It's really frusterating at times because it makes me feel desperately alone in the world... but I think God's really helping me along. Mrs. D said some things to me about my future that were just REALLY encouraging. So I think I'm going to (after this year....) make sure I get smaller academic loads and take on less activities at the same time... I'm gonna really take leisure time to be with the people that I can really grow with and converse with.

Hey beautiful people!!!

         So this week I'm going to take a week from everything back home! Because it's a Heart to Heart week! Meaning a lot of brokeness week!!! We'll be finding out what walls we have in our heart and focuse on healing things in our hearts! Very hard, emotional week....I'm sure! One that I need to focus on and that I can only walk through with Christ! That's why I can't talk to anyone back home I feel...because I'll try to go to ya'll with how I feel!! And what's 5 days, right?! It'll be 5 amazing days!! 5 hard days!! And 5 days that I'm growing and becoming more of the woman God wants me to be!!

        But also...I wanted to just tell ya'll a story of what happened yesterday! A woman from our Compassion group got REALLY hurt! Her and her husband got caught in a wave and was tossed 10 times! He was fine but she got hurt! They took her to the hospital and had to fly her to Honalulu(sp) for better treatment! Well we had heard she broke her back, neck, and that there was bleeding going into her brain! They were scared she would be parilized(sp) and that her husband couldn't get a flight out that night! So the Compassion got together at prayed from like 7 till about 8:30 or so! We prayed for comfort, for healing, for a flight for her husband! 1st call for an update...she only had 3 vert. in her spine broke...around her neck! On to more prayer...2nd call...trying to get her husband a flight....more prayer 3rd call....her husband has 20 minutes to get on this flight! Another call...her husband is on!!!!!! Another call...she is in alot of pain...as much as that stinks it's a good sign...she won't be parilized! Only worry now...the bleeding to the brain! And we wouldn't get any more updates for the night!! But we decided to get in pairs and pray throughout the night!! A group every 30 minutes! So that there would be prayer for her and her family all night long! Update this morning....THE BLEEDING STOPPED AT 11:30 last night!!!! Yessssss!!! She's still in pain!! So please pray for her, her name is Mary! Also a guy named Andy broke his knee cap yesterday as well, playing soccer!! Pray for our week!! That would be great!!

     I love ya'll so so much!! I miss ya'll tons!!! But God is up to great things in all our lives!!! Take care...and I'll read and write, hopefully, this weekend!!! *hugs and kisses*!

I've posted some of our honeymoon photos- don't worry guys, they're all G-rated. As many of you know, we went to Jamestown, RI. We visited Newport, RI one day which we could actually see from the bed and breakfast we stayed in. We also went to Boston one day which was only about an hour and a half away. The weather was quite chillly - though not too bad if we could stay out of the wind. It was a beautiful place to go during the fall. The leaves were amazing. And so with fall being my favorite time of year, it was definately the perfect place to go for our honeymoon. Our room overlooked the harbor and the Newport bridge which was quite an amazing site at night with all the boats and lights. Anyways, hope you are all having a great day. We miss you all in Murfreesboro!!!!! Please keep in touch. We love you guys.

i love you.

My cat gave birth today. She was gracious enough to lead me to the hidden mound where she had them. We plan to get up in the morning and take them out and put them in a more hospitable shelter. So, does anyone want a kitty?

winter is my favorite season. (even though it is only fall but it feels like winter.) i figured that out about myself. i really do enjoy getting all bundled up and putting on the hats and scarves. but the best thing of all is when you are walking and the cold wind is blowing in your face and then your eyes start to water. to me that is the best feeling. i also love how everytime i am about to leave the house my moms tells me to put on a hat and that it's cold outside.<as if i didn't know> but i thank the Lord that i have a mom that cares enough about me to tell me that.  just the way she says it makes me happy. but the only sad part about it is that i can't wear my flip flops anymore. i tried the other day and i way too much of a chicken. maybe i will bust them out every once in awhile. I LOVE WINTER!

::can u please pray for my grandfather. he was sent to the emergency room tonight from the nursing home and we don't really know what's wrong with him. he has alzheimers so being sick like that really doesn't make things better. so just pray for the doctors and my family. thanks so much.::

I'm about to see a million things

I thought I'd never see and I,

I'm about to do all the things I dreamed of...

and I don't even miss you at all.

Yea pretty sure there are some really old pics, but here are some of my favorite...enjoy!!!

Me and "Mr. Jolly"

Me and Mr. Jolly

And then you have the Seniors torturing the freshman

This was one of my favorite pics from camp

Well let's see this week was ok. This week at school on Friday we had the "Trail Blaze". But I didn't go. And neither did any of my other friends. So Friday night I went to the mall with Lindsay and Myriah. I had a good time. We went into a lot of different stores. Like Spencer's, Chucky cheese, and other places. So then on Saturday I went to will's. He had his swim team come over for a "Spooky hay ride". It was fun. Jon will and I played a lot of Ultimate Frisbee. One of the best games in the world I might add. Yeh we did other stuff I just don't feel like typing. So I'm out. Peace.

Today, when I was leaving practice, out of no where came a girl with a large wooden rifle.  I'd seen them before, these rifles, and I guessed that they were for ColourGaurd, or whatever that extracurricular activity is in which they throw flags and things like that at football games and the like.  Anyways.  I was walking behind her, and after slyly glancing at me, she began to twirl her rifle.  It was the most artful spinning of a rifle that I'd ever seen.  I had no ideal white woofen rifles (Tongue Twister? Yes.) could be so beautifully artistic.  Well, I wouldn't say beautiful.  But.  You know. 

We blocked the kissing scene today.  Now I'd say THAT qualified as beautiful.  We hold hands, kind of-- Lauren sitting on the step, and me on the edge of the pool.  Then, Lauren touches my cheeck, and brings me a bit closer to her level.  Then we kiss long and look into each others eyes.  Ha.  I like it a lot.  It never fails to get an "Aw!"  I'm kind of secretly hoping that it causes an old, sexless, hung on the rack woman in the front row to have her first orgasm in ten years.  I MEAN WHAT?

So after my lab class this morning I found Amy A., Amy B., Nathan M., and Sarah B. in the KUC and hung out with them, but the group ended up dwindling down to Amy A., Sarah, and Lauren. It was so great though, because I filled up all my breaks with scholarship work so I can go home earlier. And while going home earlier is nicer, so is hanging out with my buddies, so I was so glad to see them.

And speaking of friends, I have 100 Phusebox friends now. Woot.

well...to add to my Saturday extravaganza...Sunday was pretty crazy. i went home from Weston's in the morning to let my dogs out and at about 1:30 i went back to his house to practice a little before the show. after that...i had to run by my house to get money for food and tickets. then back to Weston's. haha. then we went to Wendy's knowing that we were late for the show...but it started late anyways. blah blah blah. we finally got to Nashville and arrived at the Muse at about 5:15....NO ONE was there. how gay?! it was supposed to start at 6 and well...it definately did not start at 6. ha. more like 7:30 about....it sucked. once it finally got going...it was pretty cool. we found out we were to be 2nd to last out of 7 bands...that's really good. i was quite happy about that. but along with that placement...we didn't play until nearly 11 o'clock. woo doggy...was that late. haha. after playing...this band, A Beginner's Mind, played. they were a semi-professional band from Las Vegas who came to destroy the local artists. haha. it's all good though. they put on a good show. very experimental. it was cool...kinda unfair, but whatever. they ended up winning and we packed it all up and headed home where i made it in bed by about...let's see....2:00 o'clock. i was SO tired today. but whatever...it was fun...my mom was kinda pissed i got home so late on a school night...but it's all good. so it went well...thanks to the people who came out or bought tickets just to support us. haha.

well today was good, other than the sleepiness. school went by fairly quick and afterwards we had the first dancing swing club meeting. Molly and I got to show everyone how to do the basic steps of swing dancing. it was a lot of fun. cuz i got to remember all the old stuff i used to do sophomore year. Tyler helped us out too, cuz there were a lot of girls who didn't have male partners...hopefully that'll change. it was difficult for them and us to teach. but it was a lot of fun. if anyone is interested...come out...you've only missed a few basics...you should be able to make it up. well that's all i have folks...later

-KYLE

I'm happy. I get to start copying our concert band music tomorrow.  I looked at the score for one of the pieces and it's really cool. There's a horn solo, but Ruth gets to play it...unless she remembers that we're going to rotate 1st and 2nd, but she pro'lly forgot. Oh well. I looked at some horn quartet music too, but I didn't find anything good.

I tossed my flag wrong today and it hit me in my eye...

So today was really good.  Today was how I imagined college when I was little, cold and gray and all that good stuff.  This Semester is really close to the end. 

It's the perfect time of year
Somewhere far away from here
I feel fine enough, I guess
Considering everything's a mess
There's a restaurant down the street
Where hungry people like to eat
I could walk but I'll just drive
It's colder than it looks outside

It's like a dream you try to remember
But it's gone
Then you try to scream
But it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world
Beyond your front door
Take your time, is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

It's the perfect time of day
To throw all your cares away
Put the sprinkler on the lawn
And run through with my gym shorts on
Take a drink right from the hose
And change into some drier clothes
Climb the stairs up to my room
Sleep away the afternoon

Like a dream you try to remember
But it's gone
Then you try to scream
But it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world
Beyond your front door
Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for

Pinch me, pinch me, cause I'm still asleep
Please God tell me that I'm still asleep

On an evening such as this
It's hard to tell if I exist
If I pack the car and leave this town
You'll notice that I'm not around
I could hide out under there
I just made you say "underwear"
I could leave but I'll just stay
All my stuff's here anyway

Like a dream you try to remember
But it's gone
Then you try to scream
But it only comes out as a yawn
When you try to see the world
Beyond your front door
Take your time is the way I rhyme gonna make you smile
When you realize that a guy my size might take a while
Just to try to figure out what all this is for


Try to figure out what all this is for
Try to see the world beyond your front door
Try to figure out what all this is for

saturday was CRAZY!!! it started off with the ACT which was awful!! the science part was ridiculous!!! but then it got better when i went to brittany and kyle's 18th birthday party!!!! we went to a haunted house and i was sooo freaked out. but it was cool!!

...not me...
but i really wish i was.

So. . . my aunt was supposed to have a bone marrow test today to see if she had leukemia, and before they did it, the doctors discovered that her white count had jumped up to 5 ((it was a 2-- anything below 4 is not good)), so he was certain it wasn't leukemia and they didn't have to do the test.

This is the first Monday since July 11th ((except for Labor Day)) that I'm not working. Taevan and I talked awhile back, and he told me that working on Monday can be optional for me since I've got a lot of stuff with school going on.

We had a speaker in Understanding Mass Media again, and he basically told us to screw what we thought would be "the way" to get into the business and start doing things on our own. Aside from some foul language, I enjoyed what he had to say.

Well last night was awesome! I got baptized, and I would like to thank friends and family for coming out and supporting what God has done in my life. But I wanted to share what I saw later that night. I was in worship with this group of people, and I closed my eyes. I thought back on my baptism, and I saw Jesus baptizing me. It wasn't Chris Madison, it was Christ. Before I was "dunked" I envisioned Christ smiling and saying, "Do you accept the plan I have for you releasing your own plans so that I can give you what I want for you? Do you love me enough to fulfill my calling for your life?" I said, "I do." When I came up out of the water Christ was smiling and he simply said, "I love you...You are MY MESSENGER...Malachi."

Stop the presses... spread the news!!! Hodg-E is now a participating member of Phusebox. Yes, the very same one who swore off all such internet sites. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is a very fine day indeed!

Alrighty then.
The story part of my project is going good. I have 3 outta 5 stories ready to write. The poem part i will work on tonight and the rest is history. Not a very good weekend for me. I got into 3 fights with my sister and got in trouble on sunday for not cleaning my room.(rolls eyes) Today was better, well then again it's only 11:30 and anything can happen. I gotta pick my friend up from this place inlike an hour and i have no idea where it is so that'll be fun. Very tired now so good night, sleepy time, it's computer class, he doesn't care.

Ever since I was a little girl my dream has and will remain to be the same dream to marry a italian.Well I got 2nd best to that last night.I went on a date with a italian named Anthony Angelo or AKA Angel is what you would call him (LOL).He's 23 and he's italian of course.He's a ball room /salsa dance instructor.But,he had a flat tire when he got here so my dad help him put a spare one on.But,anyways my dad thought he seemed nice which is major brownie points with me cause Im a huge big time daddy's girl.But,anyways we went to his house last night and we watched American History X.He opened all the doors for me so nice and smooth.He's such a ladies man for sure.Anyways when I met his dad I felt like I made the Godfather cause they sound the same.He's got italian stuff everywhere in there house.He spoke some italian to me how romanitc.I wonder if he can cook some good Italian food for sure.

Journalism is proving harder than i thought. with only 2 weeks to go until the 6 (technically 5) weeks is over, i have only $20 of ads, out of $300. i'm not exactly sure how i'm gonna make it this time.

my party was awesome. i'll have pics later... my computer at home is down at the moment...

Haha, so I was playing around on my geocities website (which now has a guestbook, so you should leave me a comment) and I did this thing where a sun would follow your mouse around, and lil angry clouds would just pop up randomly...it was annoying. So I got the sun to go away...I'm still working on the sun though.

Submitted by Jonathan Quist:

Hoping to demonstrate the value of music education as a replacement for video gaming, a psychologist arranged for the controlled education of two similarly-qualified high school students. The first student was provided with a 4 year education at a major university, unlimited access to a video arcade and an inexhaustible supply of quarters. The second student was provided with a 4 year education at a major music conservatory, unlimited access to a horn teacher, and a professional quality double horn.

The study was summarized as follows:

Student A became obsessed with and spent 8+ hours a day playing PacMan. Normal personal hygiene and social skills declined, and no friendships were formed, except with students similarly obsessed. Student A did not find regular employment after graduation, preferring instead to continue his long hours playing PacMan. After three years, he began to understand that he could not earn a living playing PacMan, and after 5 years, Student A has obtained reasonably secure employment as a computer programmer.

Student B became obsessed with and spent 8+ hours a day playing his Paxman. Normal personal hygiene and social skills declined, and no friendships were formed, except with students similarly obsessed. Student B did not find regular employment after graduation, preferring instead to continue long hours playing his Paxman. After three years, he began to understand that he could not earn a living playing his Paxman, and after 5 years, Student B has obtained reasonably secure employment as a computer programmer.

Conclusion: There is no significant difference between an undergraduate degree in horn performance and 4 years of intensive video gaming.

monday......enough said.

If i had a boat
  I'd go out on the ocean
  If i had a pony
  I'd ride hime on my boat
  We could all together
  Go out on the ocean
  Me upon my pony on my boat

I've been doing some thinking again, and it occured to me how much I miss him.

I miss...
his hugs
his face (I know strange, but seeing him)
his kiss
his smell (There's just something about Kilo on him)
lunch sitting next to him
history with him
the random comments about the things I wear
his smile
his laugh

See I miss him so much andso much about him, but I don't think he knows at all.

Forever yours, Lucky

I know I posted a few hours ago. Sue me :)

Last night (Saturday), after the costume party, I went to Steak and Shake with a few people. The coffee flowed freely (seriously... she didn't charge me), and I had a good time visiting with a few friends. After I got home at around 2:30am or so, I couldn't go to sleep. Part of it was the six cups of coffee, but part of it was that I had several things on my mind. Finally, when 4:30am rolled around and I was still wide awake, I decided to head over to the church (a whopping 300 yards from my house). The next couple of hours were great: praying, reading the Word, and playing the piano.

While I was talking to God, I mostly discussed the heavy stuff on my heart. That mainly had to do with relationships. I see my relationships heading in directions I don't like. That is to say, I see some of them are going south for no apparent reason, others are going too far in a direction I'm not comfortable with, and yet others are staying stagnant. Of the three categories, I'm most concerned with the former two.

I don't know why friendships fail. I have a feeling that it is mostly due to mis-/non-communication. The petty pitfalls could be avoided if people just talked. It is also very important to mention that truth is a key component in this discussion. Sometimes, difficult topics must be brought up. Whatever the case, there can't be any misunderstandings when all is said and done.

As for the relationships going too far in a direction, I'm not sure what is happening. Speaking the truth here helps too, but unfortunately I can only discuss my side of the truth. This partially has to do with what I wrote in Confusion Squared. I never found the answer as to what I'm doing to create confusion in people. All I can do now is tell you point-blank what my thoughts and intentions are.

I am in no position to be in a relationship consisting of anything more than friendship.
I have far too much growth that needs to happen, I have far too much to learn before I will ever be ready for a serious relationship. If I have misled you into believing that I was interested in anything more than friendship, I apologize. I assure you that it was unintentional. I thought that I had made this point  almost-clear from the beginning, but this may come as a surprise to some. If you are hurt by what I'm saying, again, I apologize.

I hope this doesn't damage relationships. I love my friends and appreciate the bonds I have with those friends. The last thing I want to do is sever those links. I would greatly love to continue on in friendship and enjoy all the benefits that come along with that.

If you would like to talk to me, yell at me, question me, whatever, you probably know my cell.

Maybe this will start things going in the right direction.

Who's up for some Rocky Horror Picture Show this Halloween?

*raises hand*

Good.  I'm glad we all agree.

My costume on the other hand... I don't know how well it's going to turn out.  It's not by any lack of excellent craftsmanship on my mom's part, it's just that... I don't think I'm really cut out to wear it, you know?

I just wanted to do the "average" Halloween thing and push my own personal envelope and wear something that I would normally never be caught dead wearing.  Now I don't know if I want to be seen in public.

. . . .

I feel so stupid for letting my body get like this.  I know it's not horrible or anything, but it used to be a lot better.  Gah.

No worries.  I start therapy tomorrow.  So either I'm going to be committed as clinically insane or, the more preferable course, I'll get less unhappy.

Hi everybody.  I'm Rocky, nice to meet you.

you know, i pretty much spend most of my time trying to make people i love feel better. i'm not selfless by any means, but when i'm sitting around thinking (which is a lot) i never think about my problems, i think about my friends. when i pray at night, i never ask God to bless me (i've never once done that) i always say "God, please bless my friends." and then i go into each individual friend and i explain why it is they need you, and even if i don't always believe in the power of prayer, i'd like to think that if it does truely work, that i am helping somehow.

i used to write entries solely for the purpose of saying why it was i loved my friends. i stay up really late to listen to someone who just needs someone to listen to them. i mean i always try and listen to whoever it is that needs my ears. thats why i know so much about so many people, because i'd like to think i'm a pretty good listener.

when someone is feeling bad, i offer to give them money, solely because i have nothing else to give them, and it is my desperate attempt to make them feel better. i always try to use my "wit" to make people laugh, even though sometimes it has the opposite effect.

i write notes, i make mix tapes, i make cards, i write emails, i write entries, i give hugs (which is a huge deal considering they make me uncomfortable), i talk, i listen, i care.

and thats why most of the time, when my friends are having problems, its with someone else.

but you know what i learned, just a few moments ago?

it matters not that i love them. it matters not that i care about them, and would die/kill for them. it matters not that i listen, that i care, that i want nothing more than to help them.

because they are always searching for the love, and the caring, and the listening of someone else.

and i'm always the one thats just there.

all the love i try to give out is taken, and discarded.

and that makes me feel about as good as an animal that just got ran over by a dump truck going about 90.

~me.

So, it's Sunday night, and I'm back in Jackson getting ready to start another week of class.  I'm really excited about being back, but it was sooo good to be home for those few days I was there.  I've really missed my family, but I also think I've grown up a lot being away from home.  I feel much more independent (although I still like having my mommy do things for me). 

I have decided that the drive from Nashville to Jackson is beautiful!  Today I had the pleasure of driving as the sun was setting, and it was gorgeous!  The sky was a rolling sea of pink and orange.  I don't know how anyone can look at that kind of beauty and deny the evidence of the Creator.  It gave me comfort to know that the God who created tonight's picturesque sunset is in control of my life and nothing can separate us from His love.  Wow...

do we have wemmick dots?                       great live music...

This chill in the weather has gotten me in the mood for thanksgiving. I'm ready to fix a huge dinner and pig out on turkey. Plus, we get out of school for 5 consecutive days. Whos with me?

Oh great, I'm a freaking Toadstool!!--Thanks for the Love!!---and being shoved in the  bushes 4 freaking times!!!!

Anyways, what a week....Variety show was awesome!! Brady, Jackie, Linda, and Brett all did wonderful! I don't know if I had an appetite for peanut butter much after that though. Mine and Brett's 3 month was this past week.....YAY!!!!! I <3 my baby!!!! So yeah, and I'm pretty sure Christina is on freaking cloud 9, but don't expect to ask me to help bring her down. I like her in her happy mood. And yay, band season is almost over with...which means more time with people I love. But yeah, I've gotten so many lectures it's not even funny. Stupid freaking Asian customs....yeah, pretty sure I heard my dad say if i were to be put in jail he'd tell the cops to go ahead and let me rot in there because he wouldn't want me out. Shows some love huh?? I think it'd be easy for him to disown me...heck, he might have already. But yeah...I'm gonna go now....Love to all!! Muah!!! ;)

my favorite place has to be falling asleep in your arms...

Ya...Weekend is over

That SUX

Cant wait till next weekend - Oakland/Riverdale game

See a lot of people

Busy life right now

Hope to sleep well tonite

Kyle Jackson with a blog?? No way! It just can't be!

This must be what you're thinking but alas, it's true. So now the big question is why? I've never been one of those people who say things like "I'll never have a blog. It's trendy and silly." I actually frequently read a whole bunch of them. I suppose I've just never felt like I could possibly write anything anyone would care to read or, more importantly, gain something from. So the reason I'm doing this is mostly because I had the pleasure of meeting the mastermind behind this site, Nathan Moore, and I wanted to do my part in promoting his site. He's got a great podcast as well, for those of you who are interested in the tech world on a borderline obsessive level, as am I. ( http://thespark.tv/ )

So there will be more to come, perhaps worthwile, perhaps not. Time will tell.

^^ Bloc Party...I'm obsessed with their Silent Alarm Remixed CD. Freaking amazing.

^^ I love this picture of Marie.

Saturday night was Mary's Halloween party. I waited til about five minutes before the party [literally] to think of something to wear. So I called Maegan. She said I could be a "Raver" with her, and I agreed.

Oh yes. But I can't get all of the glitter off of my hair and face. It will be there for a couple of weeks probably. So please, noone say "Hey...there's glitter on you"

Marylane was a gypsy, or the girl who just looked through her closet on her way out. Mary was a kitten in heat, and Marie was nothing else but a poker table. The party was fun. I met new people, saw people I haven't seen in a long time. It was nice.

Today I called Anna, and she met me at Maegans with her sister-in-law Valerie, Who's 21 and really cool. So we went to Starbucks where about half of M'boro was also.

^^ Oh Anna...

Then we went to Anna's house. And she has two baby ducks!!!!

Damn!! They are so adorable. Freaking amazing. I want them. I'm stealing them. BLEH!!! Arg. I'm suffering from Baby Duck Withdrawl...

So yea, The cast list for "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was posted. And I wanted Snoopy. Well the list said Snoopy.......Nick Hawkins/Caitlin Weller.

?!?!? Both of us got the role!!! What!! It completely shocked me. I mean, I'm upset that I didn't get the role for myself. And I kinda feel like its saying, I'm good, but not good enough to do it myself.  But then again, I will be Snoopy. I'm assuming for 4 of the 8 shows we're supposedly doing. Its just I'm not sure what to think because I didn't expect both of us to get it. So I can't be totally upset because I did in a way get the part I wanted. Its just going to be weird. And I'll have to go to all of our practices, just to do half the amount of shows that everyone else is doing. I dunno. We'll see how this works out. But I am excited. I just wish I didn't have to share a role.

I really  need to start doing my homework from now on. I keep telling myself I will, but I never do....

Its crazy how being around certain people, or certain mixtures of people...can make you so happy.

'

Wow, it has been a while since I have written. Sorry, just been buisy, I guess.

But yeah, I got lots to say.

Lets see, I went to the Green Day concert, wich was amazing. They actually made you take off all chains, studded belts, and belt buckles and throw them away. I just put my belt on inside out, inside my pants, and I put my belt buckle and my wallet chain in my shoes. I got away with it, but I saw about 50 belts get thrown away, a couple of chains, and 2 really expensive digital cameras. That woulda sucked.

Before the Green Day concert was the Hoover Marching Invitational in Hoover, AL. We lost by 2/3 of a point (I THINK), but we did very well. It was my best run of the year.

On Thursday was Amanda and my three month. We didn't get to do much, but It was a happy day.  She rocks the mullet.

The variety show was on Thursday as well. It was fun. Everyone said it was good, but I have yet to see myself look like a tard in a 70's outfit.

I got a new video game!!! Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain. It's fun, but not as good as the original.

Thats about it, I think. I'll add if I remember.

Later...

A friend of mine told me something tonight that I haven't heard in a while, but probably needed to hear. I over-analyze. I see a situation or a problem and immediately start thinking about the possibilities for change. My mind wanders/wonders. Hmm....

After reconsidering my thought about reading minds, I decided that it would definately be a plus. I would much rather read minds, not like what I see, and know it's truth than not read a mind and live in a lie. Not that this has any importance whatsoever. It'll never happen. I don't care what Mel Gibson says.

funerals suck. like, more than anything in the world, except for burials. especially when it is a baby. a sweet, innocent baby. gah. i hate this fallen world. i'm tellin ya, today more than ever, i decided that i'm totally ready to go home, though that's obviously not God's plan for me right now. but i just want to go somewhere where everything is perfect, cause it sure ain't happenin here. God has revealed himself to me so much over the past year or so, and yet sometimes i still just have to ask why. and yet even in the worst of circumstances, i can see God at work in this. which i know is easy for me to say, since it's not my son. gosh, you should have heard/seen Rhiannon and Grey this afternoon. I can't believe how strong  they both are. but that miniature casket was the cruelest thing i've ever seen. but i know that (corny as it sounds) he's in a better place. as brother Dean said, he's experiencing perfect knowledge, perfect joy, and perfect love, among other things. and i'm sure that Bruce is psyched to have him there. i was also really touched by how nice everyone in that family is to me. they always make me feel so loved, and i wouldn't trade them for the world. the burial was awfully brutal, plus it was so cold and gloomy, which i think is fitting. i don't like sunn, cheerful funeral days. anyways, just thought i'd tell ya'll a bit about the funeral. love X3 --Cari

song of the day: Yet I Will Praise You ---My Mom (seriously)

hey guys-- not much is goin on.. but pretty sure the lady stars soccer team is going to state!! woohoo! so excited. but hope everyone had a delightful weekend and ill talk to you soon.. love you. <3

I wish I didn't feel the way I feel sometimes bout life. I wish I didn't hurt so bad. I wish I could get over all this, I feel like its holding me back from being truly happy.Heartache stinks. I guess its something I have to deal with, it is my fault I feel this way in the first place. I hate how much I miss him and he doesnt at all. I wish I could go back to April and do things t-totally different, I wish people didnt influence and have such an impact on me as they do. Hmm rightnow life is hard! But oh well Ive lived like this for the past 6mths I guess it cant really get any worse, but hmm it can. Plus guys can be HUGE jerks sometimes! Sorry I guess I just had to vent for a minute, but all will be better later!

Soo those were the better times, I remeber that day perfectly. I miss Ben he was awesome and helped me through SOOO much!

My mom's having surgery on Wednesday (please remember to pray for her) so we went up to the Vanderbilt area so I would know how to go there in case of an emergency and I had to go pick Mom up. Wow... it's such an awesome area. If I was richer and smarter and not interested in mass comm, I would go to Vandy. But then I would be a completely different person...

Today was pretty uneventful other than that. Now for a completely random story that I meant to tell on Thursday...

So I went to the Mass Comm building to go watch a Chinese movie for extra credit in my Understanding Mass Media class. Since this movie is disrupting my eating schedule, and all they offer at the movie is stale popcorn, I decide to purchase a bag of M&M's to hold me over for the next couple of hours. So as the machine is vending, when, well, you guessed it, the bag gets STUCK!!! Agh! I stand there in front of the machine, thinking and pondering. I try a few kicks, try sticking my hand up through the thing (you would have to have a twig for an arm for that to work), and wonder if I should risk buying another bag in hopes that both will come out.

"I feel like I'm in a bad sitcom!" I cry out with a kick.

Down come the M&M's.

The moral of the story: Anything is possible with a good kick!

welp, today has not been a very good day.  i woke myself up at 9am this
morning with a terrible pain in my left side. and i'm talking TERRIBLE!
so i called my mom and we decided that i needed to go to the ER (i feel
like i practically live there nowadays) so we went and after blood
tests and a cat scan we determined that i had a kidney stone. 3 mm big
but it was almost to my bladder so the worst part was over. MAN let me
tell ya it was one of the worst pains in my life. and after having
pleurisy and a stroke, that's saying a lot. so i have been on drugs all
day long, peeing every 3 minutes except for when i'm asleep. but on the
plus side, as my mom was here taking care of me, she did my laundry and
cleaned my room! you can now see my floor! everybody should come see
this once in a lifetime feat ;) 

Oh look, it's me with no beard! Yikes, I look like I'm 16 again (if that). FEAR THE BEARD!!!

Yeah, so I had to go to a debate this weekend, and I definately missed the greatest post-homecoming-pre-halloween-costume-extravaganza ever. GOO!!!!!!!

guess what.

i was in a horror movie!!! it was soo scary. the myth of the woods. yee-uh.

and i was a fairy! that was cool. and grace did my make up all pretty. i might put some pics up later. but i also said that about my birthday party and that never happened. but my computer is slow and i just don't have the patience for that.

i need a good book to read. i'm running out.

i think my mommy stole my queen cd. and this makes me very sad. i should get it back from her.

i love you!

Wow ok life as been sooo amazingly amazing

Friday :: Went to the game ... got in a really bad mood .... so i left early

Tomorrow back to school  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA BEELER

ok what the heck.

i wrote a somewhat deep, depth entry but it didnt show up. again. ill try to post it again.

i would first and foremost like to apologize to emily and kelsey for wasting about an hour and for having to sit in the cold. as you probably dont know i played in a game yesterday with sean and aganist zach. at first i was a realy dick about the whole thing, like really mean and sutff. but then i thought what does this prove. that we can beat him 2 on 1. i should have never agreed to play that. that doesnt even constitute me as a good player. anyone is going to lose if they play two on one. excepet any player in the nhl. besides the point. so i regret doing it. and sorry agian. but were getting alot of people for tomorrow night and jordan is playing so im pumped. and we get to play in the spring as well. hooo waaa

today had so many up's and down's it was sickening. there have so many things racing through my mind for like the last 20 hours. and its not fun at all. when i finally thought i figured something out then i would think of something else that would totally throw me off. lol but i mean i think its ending on a good note. i think its just because things have been going so good so consistently lately that one little slip up makes me realize how good things are and can be. so im not worrying to much. and when i do get down i just think, what would kariya do.

speaking of that. i dont know ive been letting things get to me.. the predators are freaking 7-0. i mean what in the world. lol it almost makes up for everything that could go wrong. i hear we didnt play all that well, but still came out with the big win. so im pumped. (note to special someone, always wear that shrit when we play them). they play tuesday night at home, but im gay and have to work, and my dad was going to take me! so not only do i not get to go. i dont get to have a party. sucks.

well i hear i might be getting a computer. finally. lol. im pretty tired of the homosexuality. you know what im talking about. mac mini. cant wait till Christmas.

and i found some pictures of me on the computer from a couple months ago. which i didnt think my computer could handle them so im pretty excited. and if it looks as though i have the same shirt on. well it was taken on the same night. lol.

until next time.

It's been awhile.  I've been very busy studying for the ACT and focusing on family and band.  I took the ACT yesterday.  It was..fun I guess?  My last band competition was yesterday and it was a very emotional day.  We also got our pictures back from fall break which I will be putting up here soon.  We did pretty well at MCI.  We made finals and Mr. Lawson made all the seniors cry when he said thanks for sticking with this band for the past three years!  It's always sad seeing men cry.  You never know how to react but to cry for yourself.  This morning in church we sang How Great Thou Art and my whole family started crying.  It was very sad.  It was her favorite song...  I did go to orchestra today and told Mrs. Mullen that I wouldn't be at the concert on Tuesday night and she understood the situation.  Please keep my family in your prayers.  It will be a very rough week.  Yesterday was just horrible.  I'm so sick of people talking about me.  Some people need to grow up and get lives of their own.  I'm starting to realize that I'm growing up.  I am, however, excited about going to the UT vs. Vandy game in November!!!  I guess this is long enough so I'll leave on that note.  I love you all!

Just added tons of new pics from Fall Break!  Be sure to check them out! 

So I spend two days a week at my paternal grandmother's.  I call her Nana.  Nana is eccentric, to be sure.  She is also one of the most understanding, non-judgemental people I have ever met.  She has done everything: owned a business, achieved higher education, taught Sunday and Bible school, held political office, written for a newspaper, played on a basketball team, learned an instrument, sung in choir, starred in a play (for which she also made all the costumes), and raised three amazing, successful, and completely different children.  I admire her and her opinion greatly.  Here's a taste of the wisdom that flows from my Nana:

On Youth:

"If you've got it, you might as well use it.  You won't have it forever."

On Friendship:

"How many friends do you have that you like because of how they look, or how clean their house is, or what they have?  I don't have any like that.  I like them because they're people."

On People in General:

"I've learned that if somebody is especially particular about their house, they have something they did in their past that they really regret.  Obviously, I have nothing to hide (referring to the momentary disarray of her kitchen)."

On Uniqueness:

"I say if you don't like it, you oughta let people know.  They ought not make you eat something you don't like or wear something you don't like.  They probably don't want to, so let them know.  I like when someone's picky.  At least I know what they like."

"Be yourself.  Who cares?  They don't like it, they don't have to be around you all the time."

At this point, I should probably add that this is the woman who makes sculptures out of scrap wood that she finds in her yard and decorates religiously for every holiday.  My Nana is fantastic.  She knows what she is talking about.  She has lived life to its fullest.  I want to be like that.  No regrets, no reservations, just simple, all-out living.

Love you, Nana.

There is a Hurricane coming.

and i'm going to work

things are getting better..
thank goodness!

i've learned this week.. to just give it all to God..
guys, friends, stress, drama..
EVERYTHING.. to God

"once you have a great relationship with God.. everything else will just fall into place"
--heather (my sunday school teacher)

"and by having only simple, perfect trust in God-- such trust that we no longer want God's blessings, but only want God Himself."
--my utmost for his highest

thats all my chem book says. and i got alot to read in anthropology. and some math today. and some english. but thats ok, cause it's not all due tommorow. i would kinda like to get out and do something for a while though. maybe i'll go to the rec center and run for a while.

i get to eat lunch with the mayor of knoxville tommorow, so thats pretty cool.

i used nathans knew photosharing idea to get this pic from jason.

i forgot about that one. thats right after me and jason concord the ropes corse thing together. i think at the end it consisted of me and jason standing on a 2x4 hugging while the board was swinging in mid air. pretty crazy.

i got me a new jimi hendrix sweartshirt this weekend from Disc Exchange. that place is pretty cool.

Guess I'll update.....

Nothing really worth talking about. J-House is this week. ^^ But I'm sick so those two factors combined means that by Thursday, I'll collapse. But everyone stills needs to come to it. It's going to be really good this year.

The variety show went well. Even though I nearly died laughing during the first show. Poor Nikki. It was amazing though. If had been me...I'da just layed on the stage and died.

My family was here this weekend. Which was fun and all but......I woulda rather been other places with him. But oh well. That's my life... What do you expect?

In a black colored night,
I am the star who drowns out the darkness,
the diamond who lets the night
see her beauty...

On the days of angry wind,
I am the tree,
the lonely tree,
still standing tall
even when her leaves all fall...

In a day of burning sunshine,
I am the rain drop
who reveals
a rainbow-colored sky
full of wonderful hues...

Look deep enough to find
what God chose to leave behind-
a tiny miracle in a darkened sky,
a inch of wonder when branches are bare,
a fingerprint of grace in a shower of color...

This is the beauty of my life.

- by Mary Lauren

Stone and star do not force their music on us,
flowers are silent, things hold something back,
because of us, animals deny
their own harmony of innocence and stealth,
the wind has always its chastity of simple gesture
and what song is only the mute birds know,
to whom you tossed an unthreshed sheaf on Christmas Eve.

To be is enough for them and that is beyond words. But we,
we are afraid not only in the dark,
even in the abundant light
we do not see our neighbour
and desperate for exorcism
cry out in terror: 'Are you there? Speak!'

If it doesn't move, I can't move it, but
It's all in this hand for sure.

"who the fuck is thacker?!"  -kyle

Hey!

this is so cool...I don't really know what I am doign on here yet, so go to www.purevolume.com/twosecondspast and listen to the best bad alive.

*Laughs hysterically*  How's this for hilarious??  I walk into my parents room (where the lovely computer is) tricked out in Elizabethan underpinnings (a corset, extra-large hoopskirts, and oh-so-period tank top)  (I was testing something, it wasn't just for fun and excitement), and the three kittens in there take one look at me and RUN under the bed like their lives depended on it.

Hehehehehehehe.

That's all.  Really.  It amused me, anyway.

Oh fine.

::Edit::  Oh god.... I just hiccuped in this thing.  Ouchies.  That was a first.  ::/Edit::

i feel sick like bad.

i'm taking this medicine for my coughing and it's working but its making me sick. bleh.

i'm gonna go crawl in my bed and sleep.

i think i had the best birthday ever.

my party rocked. and yesterday was AMAZING. i hung out with my sister, Becky, for most of the day. she took me shopping. that was fun.

last night was that party thing at the Lao Buddhist temple, and that was FU-UN. i think that was one of the funnest things i could do on my birthday. and it was cool, cause only the adults were drinking and no one was doing -fried rice- so i didn't feel any pressure. i met so many awesome Lao kids, and they taught me some words and how to dance. we danced really cool-ly. haha. and i ate this really yummy stuff called fuh; it's like soup with rice noodles and you put your own spices in it. so good.

so yeah, i'm a happy camper.

<3

bless the Lord for His power...the magnificence of autumn is among us.

CANT BE STOPPED!!

OUR HOUSE FIRST ROUND!

So....last night was MTSU's homecoming....and WE LOST!! When I left the game, we were winning 10 to 7...URGH!! I'm mad! After that went to Logans with Schuylar and some of her KD sisters...good times! Then after that we went to Greek Row...we jumped to the Beta house to the AGR house all night....

I hate boys right now....why do they have to be so difficult and hard to understand? If anyone knows this answer...please let me know...cause obviously....I'm clueless about it. 

man...yesterday was one crazy, yet full, day. i woke up and took that FANTASTIC test i like to call the ACT. it BLEW! haha. but it's all good. i think i did well on the math and reading sections...for the most part. anyways...after that...all hell broke loose. not really...i just had to drive...A LOT! i had to drive back to my house to let my dogs out...from Blackman...that's not bad. then i had to drive all the way across town to go to Kroger, because that's the only way i can get cashback on a check. then they told me to do so, i had to buy gas....which = gay! so i did. then i finally got to go to Chef Wang's with everyone, who got there after the ACT. well...needless to say, i got there as they were finishing desert...i didn't get any chinese food. after that i drove back over to Memorial to go to Subway, then all the way back to Danny's house where i got to chill for a few hours. haha. that was fun. but man...i didn't wanna drive anymore. well...too bad for me. we decided to go to the Slaughterhouse in Nashville...and i drove there too. haha. driving there was the worst. i accidentally took a wrong turn that i have taken before and we got in the wrong side of Nashville and we got lost for like an hour trying to fight our way through traffic due to a Predators game getting let out. once we finally got to the haunted house, the line was huge. luckily that only took like 15 minutes to get through....not sure how that happened, haha. but yeah...the Slaughterhouse was pretty freaking cool. freaked me out here and there...that's what i needed, a good scare, haha. well we came home. almost got lost coming home cuz Ty Ty led this time and went in the wrong direction and and i had to call and tell him so, we turned around and made it home alright. haha. it was an interesting there. i also spent the night at Weston's house. we did a little acoustic practicing. i'm heading back over there in about 30 minutes so we can run through the full set for tonight and get our stuff packed up and ship back of to Nashville...where i just happen to be driving...AGAIN! haha. oh well...it'll be fun. have a nice day.

and oh yeah...if you guys wanna come to the show...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME!!! call me or Weston, or Dann, or Carter...not many of you probably know Coty's number. but buy a ticket...8 dollars...even if you can't go and want to support us...8 bucks, haha. well thanks guys...later
