The Bravery

October 19 2005
I got tickets to The Bravery concert! I am like super psyched. I can't wait. For those of you who don't know who The Bravery are check out thebravery.com. They sound kinda like Franz Fredinand. Plus the lead singer Sam, is really cute.My sister was suppose to go w/ me to the concert but seeing as how the show is at a club and you have to be 18 to get in she can't go. So now my roommate and I are going. That night is going to be like wicked fun. I can't wait.

school, church, lottery

October 19 2005

school was alright today, spanish is crazy. the midterm didnt turn out how i wanted it to, bu thats ok. i still got time to bring that up. i need to study though, i dont really have time to do all that tommorow. everything else is ok though. chem is still crazy, and i didnt get my math test back, but oh well. i think i did better on it this time than i did on the last one.



went to church tonight. me and whittney ate with our adopted parents. our older sister, which is our parents actuall daughter is really cool, and nice. so thats cool. we ate dinner their and stayed for the service. i still dont know if i like the services there, but i like the sunday schools. we have a sunday school party type thing tommorow, so thats cool. i almost dont wanna go cause i got stuff to do, but i'll get it done i guess. i'll just work on it tonight.



so i bought a couple of lottery tickets. actually, me, kyle, david, and heath bought some. the jack pot is at 340 million. normally i dont buy one cause it's really kinda stupid, but i figure if their just giving that money away i might as well put my name into the drawing cause i dont have a chance to win any other way.

i have no clue why i have this....i never use it

Whats up M'boro!!

October 19 2005
Hey ya'll!!!! What's up! Not much here! Bet ya thought I would never update! So did I! lol!! Jk! I just haven't had to much time to sit down and write! So how's life with all!? Things are pretty good here! Just getting into the swing of things, with classes and all!! We've had some really great speakers! The first week, Loren Cunninghum, the second week was Joe someone and he talked about God's love! And that was something I needed to hear! Like I know in my head that God loves me, but I didn't get it fully in my heart HOW MUCH He loves me! I'm still trying to understand it! And this week a guy named Steve from Columbia South America is talking about street kids!! That stuff is CRAZY!!! But it's good that he's filling us in on things we are going to see, and not sugar coating it! He was telling us one story how he knows a grandmother over there at the age of 28! The age were most people have there 1st or 2nd child maybe...and she's a grandmother!! Wow! And also just talking about how street kids will sleep under newspaper to keep warm and sleep under overhangs to stay dry and people will beat them to make them leave and even some cops will pour gasoline and light a match! Breaks your heart, huh!? But he also has been teaching us that the reason we helps these kids or anyone for that matter doesn't need to be for the kids, pressure, ministry, passion, for yourself....it needs to be about glorifing His Holy Name!! And if at anytime you wonder, "Why am I even here, What am I even doing" and you just feel like you can't figure this stuff out that we need to remember that it's not about us, we're being obedient to Christ, and bringing glory to His name! If you're out working with street kids just to work with them or cause a passion or whatever....ask God to change it to being about Him! This is a great, wise man! With a real passion and love for the street kids! Because God gave him that passion and love! So I'm real excited about the rest of the week and the follow weeks after! I'm also exciting to see my parents and brother! And to get off this island! lol! See some other things besides this campus!! lol! Well anyways...I'm gonna go! I love ya'll tons and I hope to talk to you soon!!! Take care! Stay strong!

WOW!    phusebox is SO much cooler than it was last time i was here... well jus tthought i'd stop by and say hey, i'm not dead.

I'd rather dance then talk with you...

October 19 2005

Today turned out to be amazing. I didn't read my chapter or take notes for history, and I didn't do my writing workshop for English. I also didn't do my chemistry homework. I did my spanish. But I was running late and left my spanish book at home. But as it turned out, she didn't even take up our spanish homework. And then out of no where we had activity period, in which I took notes over the chapter for History and did my writing workshop. And as it turned out, my chemistry teacher wasn't at school today. So therefore my chemistry homework wasn't taken up. Yess...


Days like this make me happy. And I had spaghetti for lunch...it was great, although I looked like a big nasty eating it.


Went to Stones River Battlefield after school today. Saw about every other person who takes APUSH there too. I watched some video about the war, got a brochure and a stamp, and then left. Everyone was saying how they were dreading it and how pointless the video was and how much the whole thing sucked. But I'm a freak, and I really liked the video, and at one point, It made me really sad, and affected me. lol. And I read every little thing that was posted on the walls. I just like history for some odd reason. You'd think I'd read my history chapters then...


So yea, saw this on lexie's xanga a while back...


Five things you may or may not know about me.


One: I am lactose intolerant. It sucks, because I looove cheese. And anything from starbucks or espresso joe's. And ice cream. But whatever, I'm used to it, and I usually eat all of those things anyways.


Two: I am a huge reality show fan. Not those stupid love ones, but like Big Brother, The Amazing Race, Survivor, The Apprentice, America's Next Top Model. Those kinds. Sometimes it borders on the verge of obsession, but I enjoy it.


Three: I'm scared of just about everything. Terrified of the dark. (yea yea, you know you are too), Spiders, Snakes, Heights, Needles, etc. The list goes on.


Four: I had surgery this summer. I had some weird kind of hernea that I wont go into details about. But yea, I was a blast when they were drugging me up. There was some black nure by me, and I started screaming her name in a really ghetto accent. And I kept saying that my hand with the IV in it was my strong hand, in the same voice as the guy from scary movie two. They had to make the incision right above my "dirty zone" lol. So they had to shave around there. And then the nurse was shaving. I started screaming, "She's peeking!!! She's peeking!!!"  Yea, kinda graphic, but whatever. I had a lot of fun having surgery, lol. But sometimes my scar still hurts...I should probably get that checked out, heh.


Five: I've been thinking of an  idea of what I want to do when I grow up, but I'm too nervous to tell anyone. I've been thinking about going to some artsy kind of school in Chicago, and majoring in something dealing with fashion, and then minoring in something dealing with business (just in case). I've always enjoyed clothes. But it makes guys come off as feminine when they enjoy clothes and want to design them or do whatever career with them. But I don't care. I like it, so eat me. Then some point during college, I'm going to apply for "The Real World" lol. I think I could make it easily. And I would be hilarious to watch, because the other people on the shows are usually stupid and un-educated, So I would have fun messing with them. And then I would have recognization to get started in the fashion business. So that would be awesome. Many of you are probably thinking. Bad idea, not realistic. Well maybe it is, and maybe its not. But what the hell. I'll probably die when I'm 30, so why not.


Yea, not very important matters, but It was entertaining for me.


So yea, pretty sure I knew it was Deja vu and I couldn't think of how to spell it if my life depended on it. Just looking at it makes me feel stupid, lol, day ja voo.


"I'd rather dance with you then talk with you"


^^^ I love the Kings of Convenience. A lot.



New Pics and Thoughts

October 19 2005

Okay everyone, enjoy the pictures!


At their world premire performance these guys were known as Apprehensive Identity because they didn't have a name yet. I'm now referring to them as Damascus Road, b/c thats what I've been told is the name that's sticking right now. If all else fails I'll just call them the artists formerly known as Apprehensive Identity. J/k, but in all seriousness they did great for a first performance. We'll just have to see what the future holds for them.

School, Life, A Little Bit of Everything...

October 19 2005
Geology is still icky. And if anyone wants to pray for my test this Friday, it would be greatly appreciated!

And for once in my life... math is my easiest subject... but that's because it's 1010... thank goodness for that... Anyhow, I got my second test back in there today and I got another 100, so... that's currently my average in that class. I think that should give me enough margin for my English and geology classes in case something horrible happens on these upcoming tests and papers...

By the way, I do not know for a fact that they are tearing down Kid's Castle. That's just what I heard through the grapevine, but I have no credible source to speak of. When Anna and I were there yesterday, we were really hoping that the orange fencing around it indicated that building would be happening outside, with no destruction inside. HOPEFULLY.

A few random things you should know about me:
~My least favorite thing about Murfreesboro is driving in it. My second least favorite thing is the cost of housing and the crazy sales tax.
~My favorite thing about Murfreesboro is my friends. :) Awww...
~I am obsessed with pictures. And scrapbooking.
~I am majoring in electronic media production because well made movies/ trailers/ music videos fascinate me, and I want to have the ability to do that.
~When I grow up, I want to be a story teller. I have many stories I want to share in many different forms and fashions.
~What is way more important to me than a career, however, is first off being in God's Will, and second off, being a wife and mother.
~I'm conservative, and I think Bill O'Reilly and Ronald Reagan are amazing.
~I love to write when I'm not forced to do it.
~I love music.
~Chocolate makes me happy.
The rest I'll leave up to you to discover...

October 19 2005

 feel like everyone's lives are going better than mine. and it's a shitty way to feel... :counts: 3 days before my birthday.


wtf?


Gavin got a boyfriend and a runway haircut, and is getting a dicount on a Ch'i Straightener.


wtf?


Kasey got her top braces off... so that's a good thing, not really something for me to be jealous of, though.


wtf? (ha)


and aparently Germani and Josh were -talking about me- in the mall the other day.


wtf?


but... i'm the one going to Japan this summer, so i should totally not be upset.

October 19 2005

My lips hurt! I played alot today. I'm really glad that we got to play "concert" music in class today...much better playing our concert horns than mellophones. But, poor Amy had to use one of the horns in the office and the string broke, so she still had to play the mellophone. Oh well, it's all good. Jordan's new horn came in today. I'm hopping he'll buy my backpack case so I can get a smaller one (it hurts my back after awhile) even though his comes with one...it just doesn't hold any music at all.



Anywho, we had guard class during 6th period...which was me showing Alex, Jennifer, and Alicia some tosses, it was funny. Mr. Medford can toss riffles...I'm so jealous...

New day, better day

The Fight

October 19 2005

I know I know...update within one day but I was reading this in my devotional, "Wild at Heart," and it hit me hard. I was reading a portion of my workbook, and it mentioned in Daniel 10 that it took an angel 3 weeks to get to Daniel because of spiritual warfare. WOW...Sometimes I think I forget the magnitude of the fight going on right now. Yes it's a battle between Satan and God, but it's also a battle for your heart...WOW...I think I have forgotten so many times that God is FIGHTING for me! He's fighting for you too. The battle we face is extreme! Satan knows that you are dangerous if you consume yourselves in God's heart. When we edge closer and closer to God's intentions for our lives, we are being built up to resist and fight the devil. HOLY COW! Doesn't that get you excited? There is a bigger story at hand here. It's so important to consume yourself in the heart of God. Not only does he long to reveal himself to you/a plan for your life, but he desires to equip you for battle. He wants to get us ready for a fight which determines the destination of thousands of people a day. People are dying every second, and it's up to Christians all over the world to take a stand. Are we going to fight for the cause of Christ? Will we project the love of Christ globally? Will we become the body of Christ for the lost in this world? God is calling you by name....Will you answer? Will you rise up?



Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  -1 Peter 5: 8-9

Avoiding My Studies

October 19 2005

I really like this new layout... but that's besides the point.


So- I just realized how utterly screwed up my life can be.  Well, my best-friend decided that he was too much drama in my life lately (which, lets face it, if you've been keeping up he has been) and hasn't talked to me at all today or last night despite any message I might send him.  I feel bad for him but he's been crazy lately and if he feels it necessary to stop talking to me for a few weeks I'm okay with it.  I need a break.


It's time for registration again and I've realized... hey... MOST OF MY CLASSES HAVEN'T COUNTED TOWARDS CRAP!!!  I'll be in school forever.  I'm not sure I can handle this business school stuff.  These classes just aren't for me.  I was much more content being stressed out over art classes than Accy 201 and Cal 261.  I'm too right brained for those subjects.  My mom keeps saying that college isn't easy... but what's the point of TORTURING myself with these classes.  It's not that I don't understand, there's just a mental block there.  I don't see any practicle reason for taking these classes OTHER than getting a degree in Print Advertising.  I'm sorry... advertisers from this school will NOT be that creative if they completely grasp Accy and Calculus.  There's no room for any right brained activity.  Just thinking about it hurts.


So I was throughly disgusted in BSU last night.  The praise band was extremely flagrant, people avoided Jeffrey like the plague because he's gay and whoever they decided to preach yesterday was clearly found in some backwoods community where they like being yelled to about random, off-the-wall issues and those who go into the ministry ONLY go to Christian schools because God would never, EVER call anyone to get an undergrad from a State funded university.  GRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr......


Okay, so I'm going to go study now for my Accy test which I'm probably going to fail.  If any of you happen to read this before six today- say a little prayer for me.

Thank You

Why am I here

October 19 2005

And why am i listening to Josh Groban? Well school is awesome, the last few days have rocked. I got to talk to some friends I haven't talked to in a long time. I never really realized that I missed them this much. But it is all good since they are either here or at MTSU so I will get to see them occasionally. But more importantly why am I not in Bolivia or Colombia? My heart is there not here. And there are no physics tests waitng for me there tomorrow. Sleep is good, very good, but God is so much better. Everything makes so much more sense when you wait for Him and see all the perfection in His timing. I am tempted to go join the Army but that won't allow me to go to Latin America for the reasons that I would want to go there. But i digress. I don't like classes. I love my adopted family up here, they are awesome. I now have 3 little brothers and an sister who is a freshman at MTSU. So that is rockin. I can't wait to go to Trinidad over Spring Break, I get to play basketball against the national team if all the plans stand for that. I hope the do even though we will probably lose, but everything is not about winning. I am ready for the semester to be over I want to see all of you back home. Especially those who end up in my car at 1am listening to Coldplay. Well I must go to class. Hasta la victoria siempre.

:: Searching for a title::

October 19 2005

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21


There is no point in making plans as if God doesn't exist, because the future is in his hands. My question is how will I react if God steps in and rearranges my plans? It is necessary to plan ahead, but place God's desires at the center of my planning, and know that he will never disappoint me.


I have a new love for Fido's, not only is it a social place, but it is somewhere where I can relax. A place where I can go to clear my mind, and put things back in focuse. I went last night and had an amazing conversation with my father, my creator, my friend. It was a conversation well overdue!


As I sat there I came across a verse that spoke to me. It is James 4: 14, Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while, and than vanishes away.


It was like a breath of fresh air. I do not know what God has planned for me. I am just a vapor that can disappear at anytime.


* Life is short, enjoy it! It doesn't matter how many years that you live on this earth, but what matters is how you lived them. Live for God today! If you live for God today, than no matter how long you have lived , you will have fulfilled God's plan for you.


Humble yourself in the presence of the Lord, and he will lift you up. The word that gets me is WILL. It says he WILL lift you up, not he might, or maybe, but WILL.


Humbling yourself means recognizing that our worth comes from him alone. To be humble involves working with his power, according to his guidance.


* I don't deserve God's favor, but he reaches out to me with love, and gives me worth and dignity despite all of my shortcomings. That love is what I have been longing for, searching for, but searching in the wrong places. Only God can provide an unconditional love, not others like myself.

vacation bliss

October 18 2005
That was by far the best two day trip ever. I'll share some highlights and tomorrow when I get the USB cord I will share some pictures.

Sunday Night:
-One word: HOTTUB
-Tracie getting hurt and us lying about it and then Robin finding out that she really was hurt
-Bailey falling on her butt and getting a bruise the size of a softball
-The neon cross and how God spoke in the silence
-Praying together in the utter silence that we don't ever take the time to appreciate

Monday:
-Oversleeping on purpose!
-Forgetting the Dollywood tickets and having to go back and get them
-Megan, Tracie, Miss Lillian, the fiddle, and chicken hats...words cannot express how funny that was
-Me on a rollercoaster....WhAt?!
-The belts
-Dixie Stampede and eating dinner next to Joe
-Everyone drooling over the hot guy named Kyle on horseback...he even signed Tracie's hand
-Bonding...sharing moments and stories, learning each other, loving each other more, all while wearing fat pants and roasting marshmallows over gas logs (is that safe?)

Tuesday:
-Oversleeping AGAIN and having to rush to get out of the house on time
-Breakfast at Mel's Diner...enough said
-Beehive...a second heaven for all women
-Surprising Jade's sister while standing in front of a mirror ("I seeee you!")
-Eating Chinese in Sweetwater with Jade's sister's family
-Blowing a flat tire going 80 on I-75 and watching in wonder as Jade takes control and changes it
-A guy named Lawrence who felt convicted when he drove by so he came back and helped us
-Spending 7 hours in the car with Jade and Bailey...("we could have driven to Florida by now!")

All in all, it was a wonderful trip. I love my 8 sisters, and I would die without them. We had a great time, and I'm exausted! Goodnight!

Day ja voo

October 18 2005

I know you dont spell it day ja voo. But I like the way it looks, and its easy. Okay, I just don't know how to spell it.


I just had day ja voo FIVE times. In like 15 minutes


So yea, my thoughts on what day ja voo is are completely contradictory to all of my other beliefs. But I don't care. Because I like my theory.


I believe that Day Ja Voo, is a reminder. Like everyone has their life already planned out for them. And so when a person gets day ja voo, it serves as a reminder. A reminder that you are exactly where you're supposed to be, and the exact time that you were meant to be. Its crazy to think about. but I like it


Although I don't believe our lives are planned out, and who would plan it out. And that its probably just some mental screw up. I like theories.


But no conspiracy theories for homework that I haven't started because I'm distracted by Claire

memories

October 18 2005
do you ever go through and read stuff in your old journals? (yes, i have kept journals--- it is pretty much the best way for me to get all the thoughts out of my head) so i was reading through this random one i started last december. i was going through a lot then, and just need somewhere to write my thoughts out. so i was flipping through and reading ramdom entries. and i was amazed at some of the stuff i wrote. the main theme from december to march-- i was trying desperately to guard my heart. this provoked many thoughts as i read that. then i thought about the months after that... then some more big things popped out at me. and it is amazing to look at where i am now. but, i feel like i am not doing it exactly right. that is the message of my life. but that would be a different story entirely. but going back to the guarding my heart buisness. i am thankful that God helped me in that time to guard my heart. it was a very important time of development for me that has brought me to where i am today. but think about your heart. and how many times throughout that day that we leave it unguarded. and those wounds sure show up later down the road. give God your heart until He is ready to give it to somebody else.

ok. that is all.

i hope everyone has a great night! 

end of my world. . .

October 18 2005
my cell phone is gone. . .if someone calls it and recieves an answer, can you please tell the person I want it back. . .I live in Chatham Square 17112

also. . .this is for my mom & sister mostly. . .oh and anna. . .

I recieved a little gift from Disney today...qute a plesent surprise. I was given a pass for the parks that is a one day hopper for myself and 3 guests(mom, megan anna)(??) and it also covers one trip to Disney quest, one trip to Pleasure Island, One trip to Typhoon Lagoon, one to Blizzard beach, and i think that's it...

but that's a lot of stuff for me and 3 guests. . .so if maybe some people could make it down before it gets too cold to go swimming we could use those Typhoon Lagoon/Blizzard beach days. ..and then when xmas rolls around. . .hmm. . .

I also still have 4 one day hopper passes

man, i need some visitors. if my family doesn't use them then whoever asks first can.

October 18 2005

So yea, pretty sure I'm stressed out again.


Variety show practice from 6-9:30, and soooo much homework. I didn't even get to eat dinner. And I'm hungry. And tired. And In the mood to complain.


So I was in a rush today, so I just slipped on some shoes. Some checkered shoes. That matched my checkered shirt. I "over-matched" and it was awkward...


Mmm. I've discovered Salty's microwave. And now my lunch is delicious and warm. Just the way I like it.


I'm looking forward to the weekend. Three more days. And thursday will be a breeze. Its tomorrow I have to look out for.


All I want to do is sleep!!!


I've been thinking about colleges lately. And I'm seriously considering Northwestern Chicago. Or whatever its called. lol. So when I say I'm seriously considering it. It means I really want to live in Chicago and my parents said it would be fine.


Sorry all of this is so utterly random, but thats the mood I'm in.


It sucks to watch friendships diminish....


But its great to make new ones...


...which i've done, and I like it.


NINE  days until Deathcab for Cutie. Arg.  I cannot wait.


TWENTY THREE days until LCD Soundsystem.


THIRTY FIVE days until Thanksgiving break.


SIXTY TWO days until Christmas break.


See, I count days instead of doing homework.

Isaiah 43

October 18 2005
  1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
       he who created you, O Jacob,
       he who formed you, O Israel:
       "Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
       I have summoned you by name; you are mine.

    2 When you pass through the waters,
       I will be with you;
       and when you pass through the rivers,
       they will not sweep over you.
       When you walk through the fire,
       you will not be burned;
       the flames will not set you ablaze.


    3 For I am the LORD, your God,
       the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
       I give Egypt for your ransom,
       Cush [a] and Seba in your stead.


    4 Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
       and because I love you,
       I will give men in exchange for you,
       and people in exchange for your life.


    5 Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
       I will bring your children from the east
       and gather you from the west.

good to sucky to good kinda day...

October 18 2005

just like the title...today was good...then sucky...then good. haha. one of those rollercoaster rides. haha. but yeah...school was good...didn't hardly do anything today. underclassmen took the TCAP writing assessment practice for the first time this year...I NEVER HAVE TO DO THAT EVER AGAIN!!!! Thank God! haha. but yeah...after doing that, we had a senior meeting, which was completely useless...except to get me out of my retarded Economics class for about 15 minutes. oh well...haha...the rest of the day was simple. my art project is almost finished. i'll be glad when it is...it's pretty neat...for me at least. haha. but yeah. 4-square after school...it was nice. WORK BLEW! it was unreasonably busy. for no freaking reason. i didn't understand. and the residents kept pissing me off with the little things they like to do. i got fed up and left as soon as i ate. haha...i finished my work. but i finished. Then i was hanging out with Greer, Danny, and Tyler...we were on our way to JC Penney's when i realized that when i stopped by the gas station i left my wallet on top of my car before i drove to Danny's....i was freaking out. luckily, the wallet stayed on top of my car, and that's where i found it...2 miles away, haha...lucky me! this is where the day turned back around. i got a pair of jeans at JC Penney's for 16 dollars!!! good sale...nice Levi's. then i bought a pair of shoes that my mum is paying me back for because i made all A's on my report card. yay me! haha...i like them. so yeah...good day overall...work and almost losing my wallet sucked! haha. well that's it really. later guys

some people can be so confusing, u think u have them figured out, and then all of the sudden u have no idea what is going on. 

Let's play a game...

October 18 2005

Let's play a game where I compare myself to my friends and realize how I really do come in second all the time. Ok? Ok.


Carlton: "Best marcher in band", All A's, Rhody loves her, and is constantly telling us how we should be like her, Chamber Choir, etc.


Caitlin: All A's, Great Marcher, Great clarinet player, The perfect child, The "Prettier One", The Funnier One.


Grace: Good at like, everything, The Prettiest One, The Popular One, The Charasmatic One.


Katie: Amazingly pretty, Amazingly popular, Amazing Personality, Amazing in general.


I know it's probably not right, nor healthy, but I'm very resentful to my friends for being so....perfect? I really dislike it. In fact, it makes me feel quite bad. I try not to get mad at them for it, but how can I not?


I just don't understand why I have to be second. I'm always second. It's like it's my purpose in life not to be good enough. Why? I have no idea.


No on puts any faith in me. I'm like the village idiot, they don't trust that I could do a good job. They always assume my answer is wrong, the note I played was wrong, I missed the set.


They always assume someone else could do better.


Maybe I could do the best job. Why can't anyone give me a shot.


And what I hate more is that sometimes, these perfect friends of mine, almost encourage this. They say "no...that's probably not right." Why? I don't know, ask them.


I just wish someone would give me a chance.


I don't want to go my whole life in the shadows, never getting a chance to shine.

If anyone uses the word CRUNK in a sentence, and says it litterally and not making fun of it, go up to him/her and say,"Nonononononono" 


that'll give them an idea about what's what and who's who.


the following words/phrases will be made fun of by our children, and our children's children : Foshnizzle, Crunk, Pimpin', I'm Rick James B****!, OMGosh you RAWK, AnYtHiNg WRiTTeN LikE ThIs WiLl bE MaDe FuN OF bY FuTUrE GeNerAtIonS, and of course there are many more that i can't think of right now.

New Feature: PHOTO REQUESTS

October 18 2005
PhuseBox User,

I hope you are enjoying the new design for the site. As I have said, PhuseBox will be advancing by releasing new features frequently over the next few months. This message is to announce a brand new feature on PhuseBox: PHOTO REQUESTS.

Many site claim to have “Photo Sharing” as one of the features. However, this usually means that you can simply let other people view your photos, not actually “share” them. Well, PhuseBox has taken photo sharing  a step further. We are announcing a new feature called “PHOTO REQUESTS.” Now, if you see a photo on another PhuseBox user’s site that you would like to add to your PhotoBox, you can now click a link under the photo that reads “Add this photo to your PhuseBox.”

The next time the photo’s owner logs into PhuseBox, he or she will be asked to confirm the photo request. If confirmed, the photo you requested will immediately be added to your PhotoBox library.

This feature will be useful to groups of friends that take many photos and wish to give digital copies to each other. Again, PhuseBox is taking photo sharing to the next level and actually offer PHOTO SHARING.

Thanks again for using PhuseBox! Keep spreading the site!

-Nathan Moore
Founder of PhuseBox

stupid boys

October 18 2005

i hate the way they bring me joy, only to crush it the very next second


i hate the way they look so dang good, like all the time, and i just want to run up and hug them, but i can't cuz they have a girlfriend...


i hate how they can be so flirty and so comforting and so nice, yet not even have the slightest bit of feelings toward you.


i hate how all of your friends can say that you'd look completely awesome with each other, only to get your hopes up, but the next second that comes crashing down.


i hate that you can have crushes on guys that you know you shouldn't like, maybe you just liked them because they actually looked your way.


i hate that they give good hugs and smelly nummy.


i hate that they seem so much more enjoyable and loveable and all around cute when they have girlfriends. so that way you can never get what you want, and have to continue searching for the perfect guy that never seems to get here. :[


i didnt mean this to be a depressing post, just what i'm feeling towards a few certain guys. they are amazing. too bad they're taken...

This is AMAZING!!!

October 18 2005

This is AMAZING!!!! Man, this is a great new look for phusebox!!! I like it!!! But anyways....i am uber happy!!!! Can anyone guess why???

My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane.
Robert Frost


Even though it is 90 tomorrow (God hates Varsity), fall has arrived..Plus I love Robert Frost..


It never rains in Southern California...

October 18 2005



No people, it doesn't always look like this. It's been a rainy past few days here which is really weird for this area. They rarely get rain. Let me just say, people here cannot drive in the rain. I really don't know what they'd do if they ever got snow!


The highlight of my week was getting home in a record setting 36 minutes. Most days it takes anwhere from an hour to two and a half hours. It's pretty bad when traffic has such an impact on your life. I am beyond ready to be done with these piddly part time jobs. I love being at the hospital, I really do. But I don't get paid for that yet. So then I have to come home and get ready to go to work just so I can pay the rent. I am ready to have a real job!


One day, I'll go to work in the morning and I'll come home in the evening. And that will be it. It sounds so simple, but it means so much to not have to worry about running off to class or another job.


I am beginning to feel very torn. Part of me is in love with the country. Haystacks and hills as far and as wide as the eye can see. But at the same time, I love the hustle and bustle here. I could see myself ending up anywhere in a year, and that is honestly scary.


Oh well, I guess right now I don't need to know. Otherwise I am sure God would see it fit to tell me. So I am just going to take everything one step, one day, one state at a time.

Law School

October 18 2005

So, I'm a little more excited about this than I thought. It just kind of makes me feel good to know that the next three and a half years of my life are locked in stone, and I feel good about what I'll be doing. "Law school" sounds so smooth. I'm hoping it fits. If I could do some sort of environmental law, or some branch where I got to work with school systems, or something like that, I'll be happy. No divorce court or anything crazy like that.


Tonite Taylor and I got the new Batman...we're gonna eat and watch it, and it's going to be smooth. I'm ready for Thursday, when some Amory folks, and Jess, and whoever else are going to convene somewhere beautiful like Chili's. Gonna be great. Hey Rigby, you're invited.


Tonite I watched 'Bones.' It's the dude from Angel, David Boreanz's new show...he's good. Show seems good. It might be the next Lost...


So, I'm ready for the semester to end...that will mean I sucked it up and took the LSAT (hopefully made a decent score) and graduated, and will be applying to law schools...thinking Ole Miss, Mississippi College, U of South Carolina. After those three, I can't really imagine being anywhere else. Unless I score like 175 and go to Harvard...


later folks, gotta read for me seminar. Peace. The Heefus.

Photoshoot!!!

October 18 2005

Amy and I finally went on our long awaited photoshoot to Kid's Castle and Cannonsburg:



In case you're wondering why I have so many of her in my photobox and why there's so many of me in hers, it's because we took each other's picture with our own camera, lol.



Gah, I love taking pictures. I don't know what it is, but something about capturing the moment is literally breathtaking. . .

Funny Story


My mother and I were driving along good ol' Route 4
when I noticed some kids pushing a broken down car. My mom got stopped
at a red light, and the kids pushed their car past ours... Until they
stopped next to us.  Well, they were SO "gankstahh". I mean, I was
in-tim-i-date-ed. (not). They started yelling things at me, but my
window was ever so up so I just pretended that I had no idea what was
going on and put on some Death Cab. My mom likes Ben Gibbard just like me.
He's pretty good at calming the nerves during a life threatening
situation. Or if you're being perved out by some white kids trying to
be bad.

My sister and life!!

October 18 2005

Hey guys! How is everybody? Well I just wanted to update everyone on my sister's status. First off, I just want to thank everybody for your prayers! It's awesome to know that there are people praying for Jennifer all over the world. She took her test yesterday, and now we are just waiting on the results. My sister seemed to have survived her test okay. I was a little worried about the chemicals she had to take. I will update when I know what is going on with Jennifer. Until then, I hope you would continue to pray for her, and that whatever is wrong with her would be minor if it's in God's will! So what's up in my life? God is continuing to rock my world with intimacy. I definitely have been leaning on Him, and I am blown away by what he's showing me as a result. School is busy, but I still am having time to hang out with people which is good. I can't believe I'm going to be 19 in TWO WEEKS! I don't know if you guys think like I do, but it's also a step closer to being a Daddy and a Husband! Holy cow! I was just sitting in the 5th grade, and now I'm in college! Soon I will be standing in front of God saying what happened! LOL! Anyways I love you guys! I hope you're doing well! God loves you so much, and I pray you would continue to understand that in a deeper way each day! -Michael

Doc says that my digestive system is irritated.


Whee.


Besides that, my butt has been dragging all day.  I'm so effin' tired.


I have a fairly substantial load of homework, too.


And it's Fazoli's Night.  I'm trying to think of what I can eat there that constitutes "bland."  [Doctor's orders.]

A Step Back In Time...

October 18 2005
So Anna and I went to Kid's Castle and Cannonsburg this morning...

It was so much fun! Cannonsburg, in case you've never been, is the coolest place in the Boro! There are all these neat old buildings and it's just so awesome! You'd have to go experience it for yourself! Kid's Castle would have been a lot more fun had it not been run over by a whole schoolbus full of kids from Tullahoma. I had actually never been there before and was very impressed. I think it's the coolest playground I've ever seen! I really don't want them to tear it down!

Anna and I agreed that are children are most definitely going to be the most photographed children ever...

For lunch we went to Chik-fil-a and we saw Michael Dillon. He asked if we had been shopping. Ha ha... well that wouldn't be uncommon either...

By the way, I'm still curious as to who wants to go see Toby Mac and friends at Winter Wonder Slam so let me know!

I also found this:

My view on American

October 18 2005

All people who know only a english please can scip a midlle part:)


Aloha evo sam I ja odlucio malo da se raspisemJ ovo pisem samo za ove amerikance…. Jer oce od mene da ispisem malo strana sto ja mislim o zenama odje I sl… koga volim I sl…. Pa posto nemam namjeru o tome da pisem a izgubio sam opkladu, pa sad…. Aj da ne budem idiot pa da nista ne staviom. Ovako je mozda boljke malo da se raspisem I po nedje ubacim njihovo ime…. I tako iz malo zaintrigiramJJessica. Onda samo nastavim da pisem kao I vazdaJ) sto je veoma interesantno ovo moze da procita samo jovana adzic jer…..samo ona zna za phusebox od svih tamo tako da moda I mogu da pokusam nesto njkoj da pisemJ Jssica


Sto se tice svega ostaloga ovamo I je vrh nistanije gore no sto sam ocekivao a mislio sam d ace biti 1000 puta gore jer sam ocekivao previseJSarah Moore tako daa sad evo jos jedan ispad…. Sa ovim imenima ali ko zna koliko cu morati da pisem jer…..odje imam million inema koja moram spomenuti da pocnu malo da se bace na ucenje crnogorskog jezikaJRebekah. I ova je mozda u tu listu koja ce se baciti da studira ovo pismo….
            Moram da probam da spomenem I Kelsey Shearon mislim da je dobro spelovano ali nijesam sigure… u ovo prezime. Ona je umjetnicka dusa, samnom je na cas likovnog za super talentovana a samo je treci razred…Kelsey onako malo je I zaladila mada ko nije od nas umjetnika….ona isto ide samnom u crkvu tako da se dobro poznajemo I dosta sam pisao o njoj


Sad Sonia ona je presjednika svih razreda I presjednika u Seagl srednju skolu…onako ona je malo mocnija no sto sam ja ali…. U moju skolu nije niko I ninista… ali velika je mogucnost Sonia da se prebacim tamo posto svi ovi ljudi su iz te skole I vise ljudi poznajem iz te skole no iz moje
         Aj malo da zaitrigiram I Brian on mi je nabolji drug mada I on je iz te skoleJ to je skola samo za odarenu djecu I od svih srednjih skola kojih ima Jessica oko 8 odje tj oko 24 chiljade djaka u tu skolu idu samo 15000 najpametnijih iz svih skola…. Tako da je veliki koeficient znanja u ovu skolu Jessica.


Ovo izgleda malo Brittany malo dugacko a jos duze ce izgledati Katie kad ga ubacim na forum…. Tako da… mislim da je dosta za ovo pismo.. mislim d ace me I ovo malo glave kostat J posto… sva ova imena a niko ne znam o cemu pisem


Some girl from Seagl high school want to know some my opinion about girl…. So I;m gave my opinion on my language, and if some vont more or to continued with this letter please let me knowJ

hello. my name is Jerry.

Thanks to friend Stacey

October 18 2005

WOW so it's been a while hu???? I know, I know all of my
fans have been waiting anxiously haha jk. Um I did my sermon today. Thank you
to all of the people who prayed for me and gave input in the planning.
Everything went very well. I was a nervous wreck but God used that to his
advantage haha. Anyways that’s the update...... But now to unload a bit.... I
have been thinking A LOT lately about relationships and how much God has
blessed me to have the relationships I have. I dunno maybe I am going through
my mid life crisis lol but I have been remembering so many old memories with
people that I have sometimes taken for granted. I have been thinking of so so
so many memories I have had over my 19 years haha. Oh some are so great and yet
some are sad and disheartening. But through all this thinking I am growing to
an even higher appreciation of the people that are around me right now. You see
I felt blessed for the time I had at MTCS and I knew that my time there with
those people was limited and God put a passion in my heart to live that time up
and make as much of an lasting impact as I could. Now out of MTCS I found it
hard to have that same drive but I can really tell God is rekindling that sort
of thought in my head again. Except this time it is not only the people I am
around here at lipscomb, it is also with the relationships I have had outside
of MTCS all this time that I some times neglected or took for granted while at
MTCS. God has really been opening my eyes up to how much life can change in an
instant. As the brokerage firm commercial says "nothing is constant except
change itself" I realize looking around that my life is radically changing
right now. My brother has moved. We are moving. My lil sis is a senior. My
grandfather isn't doing well, ect....... On top of that God is changing me more
and more each day due to the circumstances around me. All this just makes me
sit back and realize that I shouldn't so easily take relationships around me
for granted. It is sad to see that group of seniors last year that I was so so
so accustomed to, move on to college and I haven’t seen more than probably 10%
of them since then. Yet while they were still in the youth group I loved each
of them I also took a lot of the time I had with them for granted. Thinking of
that gives me a passion to stop and realize how truly lucky I am to have the
relationships I have with the seniors in the youth group now. I can't imagine
my sister being gone. I always tried my hardest to try to get the seniors ahead
of her to realize how much of an influence they had at their school by just
being a senior but I never thought that I would be thinking that way of my baby
sister. Anyways all that said haha, things are changing around me and the fact
they are scares me back into the reality of what life is all about - - that is
relationships. Life comes down to relationships. Relationship with God being
our first and then relationships with other people to have an influence on them
or help them experience God more. DON’T MISS THIS I know that I miss it so
often and for that I am sorry - - life is NOT what we are brought up being
taught. When we die nothing at all matters except our relationship with God and
the legacy we left in other people's lives. OHHHH I miss that so so so so so
many times! It is so easy to get caught up in life. A life that is so busy we
forget the reason we are here in the first place. God loves us and wants a
relationship with him. He wants us to help others see that truth. Without
having relationships we have no influence on other people. we can't. Grrrr I
wish I had the words to express this in a elegant way but, haha, I don't. Well
I think yall see what I am saying so I am gonna stop typing but I will leave
you with this. When life gets you down remember that life isn't about living,
it is about loving god and loving others. In doing that we will find what
living really is. (hey that was kinda elegant lol)  - - - I hope everyone has a great day. I will
see some of yall at church wed. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to have a
relationship with you.


In Him,

Jonathan




 Matt 22:36-40



"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the
Law?" Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest
commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All
the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

What Am I Listening to?

October 18 2005

Now, I know that this album has been around for a while, but it is one of those situations that I run into often: I listen to an artist and really do not enjoy it too much, so I never listen to them (or buy the album). Then, I come back much later and find that I love it. So is the case with Damien Rice's album O. I have heard this album before, but for some reason, from the time I downloaded it from iTunes a few days ago, I have been listening to it non-stop. It is just enough to quinch my mellowed out vibe.

i really like that song. <3


anyway i wish this video would start working again, it's making me sad.


the first practice writing test is today, boo. and then of course tommorow in apush, i have to do the essay part of his test using "sfi" so i can "put a smile on the face of an ap reader". which is not something i like to do at 8 in the morning.


i'm so tired. band i really getting to me this year. i don't know what it is, maybe it's because the drill is much harder, or that the music is faster. but i am just ready for vmi, and then be done with it. i just need to be able to come home and rest during the week. and study. and do my homework. and i really can't right now. but i know i'm going to miss it when it's gone. and this year was FULL of good times. i know next year we will be saying:


"you remember last year when we went to a publix in alabama in the middle of the night....and sara had a bottle of sparkling grape juice.....and grant said "shes gonna get wasted!"? because that was some good times..."


i <3 my friends.

Wow, I am upset

October 17 2005

Mood: very angry


I was typing up a blog on Zephaniah 3:17 and had alot of things down. I felt as if I had alot of good stuff written too. Then, as I was about to finish, something horrible happened. I was holding down the shift key and my figer slipt and ran across the scroll wheel on the mouse. Well, that went through like 18 pages before I knew what happened. I tried to go back and recover what I had written, but to no avail. Wow, I am upset. (that's an understatement) Well, I guess the only thing to do now is to go to bed and sleep it off. Who knows, maybe I'll try it again tomorrow.
