Dear the new freshman class
Stay out of our way
or we'll kick your ass
Dont crowd our halls
to hug your friends
in the lunch line
Stay at the end
We've been here at least a year
maybe 2 or 3
to think you have respect in this school
you must be kidding me
Dont think your big bad and tough
if you mess with an upperclassmen
they'll mess you up
Dont think your cool
cause your in high school now
because no one likes you yet
just wait a while
When your a sophmore
you will know how we feel
to get a new class try to fit in every year
is simply unreal
So heres to the girls of 2009
keep your shirts on
and your clothes buttoned up high
your reputation will be ruined
and the older girls can kill you
And heres to the boys of the new freshman class
Most senior girls see you as yesterdays trash
they dont care about boys
who could be there brother
so just give it up now before you mess up in front of others.
Now you've heard what you need to know
Freshman year will come and go
Enjoy it now while its here
And then your chance will come to hate the freshman next year


Ahh..we play BLACKMAN Friday!

Pretty sure, we beat the shit outta the OHIO team..who i might remind you are ranked above us in the nation!..mm yea..good game though..they are a pretty good team..

NO school tomorrow..

driving my daddy to Tullahoma to an eye appointment..boo!..hah

Lovin' that number 73!

Check out what's on the bottom of all that.

Yeah, so my morning was a little rough. I left my house at 7:07 this morning. I arrived at school over 1 and 1/2 hours later.... You ask, "What happened to make my journey to school take an hour longer than it should have?

Well, it all started with leaving a friends house last night. I got in my truck, observed my gas tank level indicator was a tad below the 1/4 mark, and made the executive decision that I would wait until the morning to purchase my gasoline. Having made the trip too and fro Woodbury on less fuel than this before, I expected all would be fine. So, I make my right turn onto highway 96 (not highway 75) and point straight for the house. Now, if you've ever driven down highway 96 (not highway 75) you are aware that there is nothing, I repeat nothing, around once you leave the city. Somewhere around the 1/8 point of my trek home I take a second glance at my fuel level indicator and see that it has suspiciously dropped... to below the "E". So I put on my "well, I hope I make it" attitude and press on towards home not thinking much more about it. I arrived, enjoyed a nice nights sleep and all was well... until this morning.

Now, I'm on my way to school on highway 45 (not highway 75) otherwise known as "Auburntown Road", the most dangerous, windy, country road you've ever seen, and I start to sputter along. I'm thinking "Oh No..." So I turn off the air and push just prayin I make it to town. I did not. My truck just kinda says "Okay, that’s enough" and abruptly stops like a childish temper tantrum.
I yank it to the side of the road and make my next decision there. I usually don't have a cell phone signal here (yeah, its WAY out in the country), but somehow (praise God) I did this morning. So I phone my dad, he laughs, then proceeds to deliver my much needed fuel.

In the mean time while waiting patiently in my truck a lady I know stopped by. She used to be a substitute of mine in h/s. While exiting my truck I forget something important. I walk up to her car, chat for a few seconds, reasuring her all is well, she drives off. Then, upon my return, I grab the handle and immediately considered the pro's and cons of yelling obscenities at my truck. I had locked my keys inside. (It was quite a picture I’m sure with me on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere!)

I walk to the side of my truck, stare at the cloud-topped mountain that are accented by a beautiful overcast morning and ask a simple question... why? So then, once my normal self returns, I prayed, "God, just be glorified... I dunno how, just do it."

My dad rolls up, gets my gas, laughs at me, then goes to my house, retrieves my keys, delivers them to me, and 30 minutes later, I'm in business in the ocean of cars that is the MTSU parking lot.

Thank God, the day got much better from that point on. But now, as I sit here and reflect, I have a few thoughts on the day.

- It was much easier to say, "God, just be glorified" in my situation than it would have been for these people. (That’s the point of the picture up there) It could have been much worse.

I was reminded that I'm truly just floating along in this world; my hands aren't on the steering wheel. And that if God could carve out the mountains in front of my face He was taking care of me.

- My other thought comes down to battle. It's the battle that we face everyday, the battle between God's soldiers and the enemy. At a time when I need to be on my game with heading back to school and getting extremely busy, it seems like a lot has been going wrong and tempting me to worry. I’ve had to constantly remind myself that I’m only being “pushed around” in this world and I’m only here for one purpose, his glorification!


The enemy will not have my thoughts, my mindset, or my attitude! My focus will be clear and MY BANNER WILL BE HUGE….**JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!**

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!! WOO HOO WOOHOO yesssssssssssssssssssss

^something corporate^

Wow look at rain, biotch!

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! IF YOUR HAPPY BOUT THAT LEAVE ME A COMMENT!!!

As usual, I spend alot of time on my math homework, and then we are out of school..

Keep the Salty's in your prayers, thier son isn't doing well..

Edit

Their son passed away last night..

It's official.

We be cancelled, baby!

Yeah, that's right. Rutherford Freakin' County. Closed. And actually posted it the night before.

Skeptical?

Click here and you'll be a believer too.

Guess I won't see any of you at school tomorrow. ^_^

Don't get eaten by a tornado.

Well merde.... I just found out I've tested out of half a minor in French, despite not having spoken or written the language in two months. After this year, I'll need one more class to have a minor in that language. Sweetness.

So dual-enrollment has blissfully been accomplished. My schedule runs something like this:

Criminal Justice Administration
Monday/Wednesday 2:20-3:45
[Kinda missed the first day of this one. Oh well. I was busy registering for it at the time.]

Intermediate French II [*Sigh*]
Tuesday/Thursday 4:20-5:45

Oh the scholastic sweetness. And after Criminal Justice Administration, I'm going to take Criminal Law, or Organised And White-Collar Crime!! Excessive excitement.

Ooh, stuffed crust pizza. It's amazing how a day listed as the definition for "infinitely trying" in the dictionary can turn great in two hours' time.

here are just a few of the pictures from new orleans and Hurricane Katrina


RUTHERFORD COUNTY AND M'BORO CITY SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED TOMORROW!!

it's really weird and surreal to be living in New Jersey and to be from the gulf coast watching the news coverage - from Pascagoula to Baton Rouge I've lived down there for most of my life. It’s almost like it’s a movie. Although my immediate family is in TN now, it sucks to sit and see all the familiarity and home of the MS coast and New Orleans torn into shreds like it has been and feel sorta helpless. my heart hurts for them. I just pray that my friends from MS to LA are all okay.

Please pray for my Mom and Dad as I’m pretty sure that soon they’re going to pack up and go down to help work with some of the churches that will begin to reach out to their communities and help people put their lives back together.

So because of the hurricane and flash flood warnings, NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! Hehe, I love county schools! Hope all you college kids have fun while I, for once, get to sleep!

NO SCHOOL

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...

:)

man, one of my friends was in a wreck today...Thank goodness she's okay!!! God works in many ways!

I really don't like this picture of my self, but I think it may be the only one of me and Rachael.

So I wanted to share it with everyone on Phusebox.

Rachael...hope you have a great day!

Finally a night with no homework.
What a relief.
I'm so sick of homework.
Im gonna try not to be so negative soon.
Right now Im just not feelin great.
I'll be back soon with some happiness...
- J4(()8

anyone know a good joke?

i need some laughter in my life today.

Life as I know
will soon be over
everything is lost
everything is gone
Life as I knew it
pretty sure I blew it
singing out of key
Life as I've known it
although i've not shown
it is giving me a headache...

im the most random person
anyway, so I've come to a few conclusions today:

1.) I'm upset, but I have friends who cheer me up so much and without them, I would have nothing, they've made me feel so much better throughout all of this,
Just knowing so many people care makes me so happy...(F.Y.I if you are wondering about the whole Devin thing, we are still Best Friends, and we are planning on dating again in the NEAR future, it's just simply a time to think about things, be sure of it all, and proceed together more maturely and such, if that's a good explination, im not to good at those)

2.) Boys Smell good when they hug you, especially when you are upset...

3.) I laugh at air, seriously, I laugh at anything and everything not funny, or even relatively funny, just because I can, I think...

4.) I hate my English Class

5.)My lunch period rocks face

6.) I miss my old friends

This photo is AMAZING! High-Res...

So, I finally made it. I'm at Florida College. A place I've anticipated all my life. And I have to say that so far-its great! I really love it here. I'm having a blast with my roommate and I've already met sooo many people. My classes are good so far..but I've only been 3 days, so..we'll see how I feel in a few weeks haha. Welp, I've got a lot to do-I'll post later!

pray for the people caught in the
nasty nasty storm
pray that they are okay.

on a scale of one to ten
my self esteem became a 4 last night
thanks to someone
ugh.

bad bad bad day.
hope you had a good one though.
:/

Blah blah blah, another typical "first day of class" post.

I was a little nervous about today because I haven't been in school for a year. All in all, it was pretty good. I'm comfortable with the class load and times. I will be more comfortable when I can actually get a good nights sleep.

Last night, I was laying in bed at about 12:45 thinking that I was actually going to get a decent night's sleep when the phone rang. My ex-girlfriend was on the other end and had a shaky voice. She said she needed to talk. Given the time and the sound of her voice, I thought it might be serious, so I agreed reluctantly. She came to the house and we sat on the front porch.
She was upset about something that happened with me that she didn't know about. She thought it was her business when it didn't have anything to do with her. She was angry and upset.
The thing was, that this was something she wasn't ever going to know. I only told six people and assumed that it was in confidence. However, one of them ended up "accidently" telling her.
She ended up leaving at 3:30 this morning. I ended up getting a little more than three hours of much needed sleep.

Every time I think this stupid, soap-opera-ish, tiring relationship crap is going to end (it's been nine months), something comes up and screws it all up!

I'm so very tired of this. Seeing the grief that has come out of this relationship, I don't have the desire for a dating relationship. The headache and heartache from this one is enough to last many years. I feel like I don't have the emotional energy to give to the friends I care about. I'm drained.

Frustration upon frustration upon frustration...

Yeah... what a way to start college.

I don't even know why I got so frustrated. It was stupid stuff. If I snapped at you in even the slighest bit, I am so sorry. It was so nice to see so many familar faces today. Without y'all, I would have been so completely and utterly lost.

Tomorrow will be better because all my classes are honors, which means 1.) I'm actually interested in them, 2.) they're so much smaller, 3.) the students will be more serious, and 4.) Garrett's in two of them with me.

My geology class seems alright, as long as I get there in time for a seat, but my math class has a few loonies, and my teacher is a psychotic Russian. Actually, I'm not really sure if he's psycho, because I only found one MTSU review on his class, but that's what the rumor is. I'm thinking I might try to see if I can switch out, but if I can't, I don't think it'll be the end of the world.

It's not the end of the world/ It's just another day/ Depending on grace...

Yeah... it'll get better. God is good... all the time!

so yeah, I'm coming home this weekend.
Who wants to hang out?

In other news, school is going great. I'm loving all of my classes so far and am making a great group of friends. The only thing is this one guy that I met the first day I moved in....yeah, he's very cute and nice and all but I haven't had the opportunity to hang out with him.
I don't have any classes with him but I do sit in front of him at Chapel so that's pretty cool...uhm but you know how I am....yes, shy stupid Kaylei. But we've been saying hi and all to each other and have talked some like after chapel and all. oh well, I guess I just have to wait and see if he'd like to form a friendship or not.
I have to remember I'm here to get an education and to strengthen my relationship with the Lord.
I hope all of you at MTSU had a great first day...Amy, Anna I hope your classes were great :)
well that's all I have. Have a great day!
-Kaylei

Spanish......it is going to kick my butt!

So, today i finally get Margery back! yay Margery! anyho, phuse box rocks my face extremely! i can even get to it from a computer at school! yes! anyho, u guys like my profile pic? ya see the grape? do ya? lol i kno, itz amazing! speaking of amazing, Good Burger is amazing! itz where i got the grape thing from
"look! i'm grape nose boy! bloobidy bloobidy bloobidy!"- Ed
"How cool would it be to be a Smurf? sry... just a thought..."- Aaron

yeah, so this is a random poem Rae #2 and i found at Creme Caramel (when it was cool):

in him
today moves...with the rain...falling...catching...blue dots...on my work shirt...
does he hear me...always...and yet there is no one here left standing...but me...
just beyond the bend of my fears...he waits...arms open...hes in the quiet voice...
the home...that my spirit remembers...but my flesh detests...
why is this battle...and who am i to him...only he knows...and wants to show me...
to cut way the gory disfigurements of my life...that lust threw me into...he is pure...
holy...died for me...and the truth is like a hammer...only when i am listening...who
is listening...when everyone is longing...to the right voice...hes there...and here...all
around you...right now...beautiful...and i am so full of myself...thinking love is an
expression of self...when it is only an expression of him...thinking love is received...
when i am at my best...but he is ready with love...when i am at my worst...and i am now...
as bad as ever...and he is still there...waiting...with a frown or a smile...with arms crossed
or arms open...i am not yet sure...and only will be...when i let this go...the door open...and he
is no longer waiting...but all around me...in such a way....that he is all there is...the life...
i've always wanted...in him...

whos voice is it...there are only two...its not always you...taking the next step...
its being driven or being led...and let you always be led...by the hand that loves you...


pretty cool huh?

I am currently updating in my 4th period web page design class because i'm bored and the teacher is looking the other way. My weekend was pretty swell. We had the leadership retreat at the Toleedo's house (or however u spell it). God really taught me some cool stuff. Today i'm going to the hope center trailer park to play with the little kids and help them with homework. And after that, is bible study! See u guys later.

Here is a clip from CNN of a weatherman that is a little "tense" during his coverage of Hurricane Katrina.


Video of CNN Weatherman

Way to lose your cool on CNN...

I found an extremely interesting article written on the Popular Mechanics website back in September of 2001 about the devistation that faced New Orleans if it ever was hit by a Category 5 hurricane, such as Hurricane Katrina. Basically, since New Orleans is below sea level, the article introduces the fact that the water will have no place to "leave" and New Orleans will be submerged in water for good.

You should definitely give this article a read.

New Orleans is Sinking

5 days until i go home!!!
hopefully the sun won't have fried my brain completely by then.
i miss going to church. i've been to church like three times in the past 16 months. army service is a joke. a couple general songs and then catholic communion. not even worth going to. i guess it's really up to me to keep myself right but the encouragement of like believers always helps. the longer i go the more i seem to slip. 3 months or so and i'll be home for good. then i can have all the church i want.
how many things i've taken for granted in my life. my prayer is to not let this happen.

listening to G.Love: The Hustle

The Necklace

The cheerful little girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five.

Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them, a
circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box.

"Oh mommy please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy,
please?"

Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and
then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl's
upturned face.

"A dollar ninety-five. That's almost $2.00. If you really want them, I'll think of some extra chores for you and in no time you can save enough money to buy them for
yourself.

Your birthday's only a week away and you might get another
crisp dollar bill from Grandma."

As soon as Jenny got home, she emptied her penny bank and
counted out 17 pennies. After dinner, she did more than her share
of chores and she went to the neighbor and asked Mrs. McJames if she could
pick dandelions for ten cents. On her birthday, Grandma did give
her another new dollar bill and at last she had enough money to buy
the necklace.

Jenny loved her pearls. They made her feel dressed up and
grown up.

She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, kindergarten, even to bed.

The only time she took them off was when she went swimming or
had a bubble bath.

Mother said if they got wet, they might turn her neck green.

Jenny had a very loving daddy and every night when she was
ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come
upstairs to read her a story. One night as he finished the story, he asked
Jenny, "Do you love me?"

"Oh yes, daddy. You know that I love you."

"Then give me your pearls."

"Oh, daddy, not my pearls. But you can have Princess, the
white horse from my collection, the one with the pink tail.
Remember, daddy? The one you gave me. She's my very favorite."

"That's okay, Honey, daddy loves you. Good night." And he
brushed her cheek with a kiss.

About a week later, after the story time, Jenny's daddy asked
again, "Do you love me?"

"Daddy, you know I love you."

"Then give me your pearls."

"Oh Daddy, not my pearls. But you can have my baby doll. The
brand new one I got for my birthday. She is beautiful and you can
have the yellow blanket that matches her sleeper."

"That's okay. Sleep well. God bless you, little one. Daddy!
loves you."

And as always, he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss.

A few nights later when her daddy came in, Jenny was sitting
on her bed with her legs crossed Indian style.

As he came close, he noticed her chin was trembling and one
silent tear rolled down her cheek.

"What is it, Jenny? What's the matter?"

Jenny didn't say anything but lifted her little hand up to her
daddy.

And when she opened it, there was her little pearl necklace.
With a little quiver, she finally said, "Here, daddy, this is for
you."

With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny's daddy reached
out with one hand to take the dime store necklace, and with the
other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a
strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny.

He had them all the time. He was just waiting for her to give
up the dime-store stuff so he could give her the genuine treasure.
So it is, with our Heavenly Father. He is waiting for us to
give up the cheap things in our lives so that he can give us
beautiful treasures.

Isn't God good? Are you holding onto things that God wants
you to let go of? Are you holding on to harmful or unnecessary
partners, relationships, habits and activities that you have come
so attached to that it seems impossible to let go? Sometimes it is
so hard to see what is in the other hand but do believe this one thing .

God will never take away something without giving you
something better in its place.

i've had this song stuck in my head all day...dangerously in love by destiny's child

I love you... I love you, I love you

Baby I love you, you are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side
You're my relation and connection to the sun
With you next to me, there's no darkness I can't overcome
You are my raindrops, I am the sea
With you and God who's my sunlight I'm blooming, grown so beautifully
Baby I'm so proud, proud to be your girl
You make the confusion go all away from this cold and misty world


Chorus x2

I am in love with you (in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me
Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (in love)
I'll never leave
Just keep loving me the way I love you loving me


I know you love me, love me for who I am
Cause years before I became who I am, baby you were my man
I know it ain't easy, easy loving me
I appreciate the love and dedication from you to me
Later on in my destiny I see myself having your child
I see myself being your wife and I see my whole future in your eyes
Thought of all my love for you, sometimes makes me wanna cry
Realize all of my blessings, I'm grateful to have you by my side

Chorus x2


Every time I see your face, my heart smiles
Every time it feels so good, it hurts sometimes
Created in this world to love,
to hold, to feel, to breathe, to live you
Dangerously in love, yeah

Chorus x2

Dangerously (dangerously)
Dangerous, dangerously in love with you
Oh, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

and why is that song in my head? I HAVE NO IDEA! it is a good song though, i guess.

anyway, it's officially wierd to not be back in birmingham and at samford now. but i can't spend too much time thinkin about it. got plenty of stuff up here to keep my mind off it.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL: 3 (5) days

Tonight I had a mini breakdown. I had to fight back tears all day. I hate being lonely and not having anyone to encourage me. I ended up throwing a pity party for myself for the first half of the day. It is really difficult for me to pour out my feeling to complete strangers, and I feel as though I have to hold everything in since I have no alone time. I guess this isn't a good time to become emotional...I have always been pretty sane. So, when I thought that it was settled and I was going to hate Belmont I decided to get coffee with a friend and it turned out to a big group thing that completely encouraged me. And as if that were not enough I stopped by my neighbors room on my way in and had an even better time. Turns out everyone has been having breakdowns...and there are some amazingly sweet people out there. Thank you God. I'm sure that there are still lonely nights to come, but He got me through today, and for that I praise His name. He is all I need and I am learning that. Until today I didn't realize just how little I actually depend on him through the tough times. Reality checks are no fun...but I need them like crazy. Keep changing me Lord, I want to be all yours...through and through!

on the eve of mtsu classes starting, i take a moment to remember the summer of 2005. it started off with graduation, then a trip to memphis for state tournament. two more weeks later i roamed the beaches of panama city with some of the most awesome people. a couple more weeks later a trip to the valley of windy gap was made with all of school friends. that was a fun time. start work then it was back to the gap for work crew. probably the most fun i have ever had in two weeks with people i had just met. i strongly recommend it. come back start workin with people who love their job and have a smile on their face. and today i end it with a trip to the lake. nothing more satisfying than that. i'll tell you what, i have never had as much fun during all my summers than i have had in this one. i look forward to the school year. the people i will meet and i'll the stuff i will learn. to me, it can only get better. hopefully you feel the same way. im out, dueces

as written by Justin Bassett mostly and finished by Susan Loyd (which is why the explanations get a little shorter toward the end) please feel free to expound upon any that you feel led to!

In light of recent engagements amongst friends and in our church, the BCI team has put together a sort-of “how not to” propose list. The bottom line is that there are several ways to propose in New York City, as we all know, its one of the most romantic cities in the world! But, there are definitely ways not to propose. Therefore, we have put together the...

Top 15 Worst Ways To Propose in the New York City Metro Area:


15.) During a Mets Game.
Seriously, if you are thinking of going with the whole baseball scene, maybe think about the Yankees instead. One world series versus 26!

14.) In a row boat in the Passaic
While the Passaic River may look kind of like the river on The Notebook, trust me its not. It was actually voted by some scientists as the most polluted river in the world! If one of you fell in, you might grow another arm! If you do decide to visit this historic location, visit BCI located one block away! Pray for our appendages!

13.) Staten Island Ferry
Public transit is cool, but seriously guys, not for a proposal. There are several methods of transportation listed here, and this is the least worst way. On the plus side, its free and you get to see the Statue of Liberty.

12.) Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest
For that matter, any hotdog vender, Gray’s Papaya, or any hot dog anything! It may sound like a good idea to us guys, but take it from a married man, its not.

11.) Secaucus Junction
This is the Mecca of the New Jersey Transit System! However, its not the place to propose. In fact, the New Jersey Transit is just not the place for a proposal.

10.) Taxi Cab
I watched a report on the Today Show, a scientist proved that these urban chariots are the dirtiest places in NYC. In the back of a cab, a germ swab can reveal anything from fecal bacteria to hepatitis! Gross! Not the place to propose!

9.) Flushing Meadows Corona Park
On theknot.com, the #1 web site for engaged couples, begins with each couples engagement story. Seriously guys, you don’t want to have your fiancé to have to start her engagement story with the word “flushing”. Great spot for Billy Graham...not a great spot for the proposal.

8.) Double-Decker Tourist Bus
Honestly, I think I just have a personal vendetta against these things!

7.) The Today Show
Please don’t be one of those guys who holds up a poster on the Today Show asking your girlfriend to marry you. (not to mention that if she’s at home watching TV and you’re at the today show, shouldn’t she be living it up in NYC with you?)

6. ) on a subway
there is nothing romantic about the subways, especially because they all smell like toilet.

5.) toys r us ferris wheel
save that one for the kiddies

4.) New Jersey
‘nuf said

3.) the back rooms of China town
shady, shady

2.) Starbucks
there are way too many of them; you may ask her to meet you at one and then you never actually see each other because you’ve both been to 5 different locations

1.) In front of Tiffany and CO with a ring that’s not from Tiffanys
if you have the guts to propose at Tiffany’s you have to be ready to shell out the big ones for a ring from there. (DO NOT bring your little CZ ring from Wal-Mart to NYC to propose)

We hope that you enjoy our list we put together. Much fun was had in the making of it!

Tonight was SO MUCH FUN!!!! I went to the movies with Manda, Brett, Jackie, Angela, and Brady. (Basically with Manda's crew) But I had SO MUCH FUN!!! I was mostly quiet, but I basically laughed with them the entire time. It was great! We went to go see The Grimm Brothers, WHICH WAS A GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!! I loved it! The only part of the night I didn't like was when a certain someone, "cough, cough" stuck their finger up my nose!!! EEEWWW!!!!!! LOL!

goodness i am tired. this weekend was the leadership reatreat. it was fun fun! especially had fun with cari, elizabeth, and sarah. though there was some tension around 4am, it was good. i am very impressed by the student leaders in our youth group. they all bring different gifts to our group. i loved spending time with them!

tonight sarah and i went to expresso joe's



it was a lot of fun. then we went to her house. which i was super excited about because i haven't see the moore's since paint the town! i love spending time with them! there is always something entertaining going on!

i never knew screaming at the top of your lungs in the car could be so much fun...i did it tonight for no reason at all....and i felt rather liberated. haha

i am very excited for all of you who are starting MTSU tomorrow. it won't be bad, i promise! you will get there and realize how much better college is than high school. even if you aren't super happy about attending MTSU, God has you there for a purpose. and there may be one life that you can help change. i will be praying for you all! hope you have a great day and try not to be too nervous! enjoy it and get there in time to get a parking spot, they sure go quickly!

i hope everyone has a great night!

Here's a copy of a handout I was "playing around with"...but seriously...the young adult group at my church needs some type of handout for people to give out to waiters/waitresses, cashiers, classmates, co-workers, etc. Please let me know what you think. Any suggestions for improvement?

AO is gonna rock!!! I'm soo excited!!!! I've met some cool ppl and I can't wait to really get into it and find a J-group and a sunday school class.
Oh yea, I start college tomorrow...pray for me....

Ok...so...I said to Jenny the other night that I was going to delete this if I didn't have 5 friends...as of now I've got 3. But I might be getting 2 more in the near future (like Christmas..haha).

But I don't think I'll delete it. Im enjoying it. So far it's treating me well.

The hurricane is bearing down on us and I'm actually kind of worried. The friggin eye is 39 miles wide and it's only the 4th category 5 hurricane to ever hit (well, since they started recording this crap).

Im sure by the time it gets up here it will be downgraded to tropical storm status..but still, Ivan knocked trees and crap down and left Samford without power for days.

I just hope that I'll be safe driving home from school tomorrow!

Speaking of which..tomorrow is my first day..

Happy Birthday to Grace!!!!! Her party was so much fun....laser tag is way cool....and so is grace!! I LOVE YOU and I hope you had a great time at your party! Happy 17th!

The Spirit came. I thank God that he was able to use me on Wednesday. And again today when I did the announcements for the worship service. As long as he keeps using me, I will do whatever.

The next adventure is training for leadership of a small group within Deeper.

I think it's unanimous. Grace Langeland's 17th birthday party was pretty much the coolest thing EVAR!!!

Prom dresses. Old Spaghetti Factory. Laser Tag [in prom dresses].

Oh yeah, coolest thing EVAR.

Emotional and artistic you have enormous energy and creativity although a rather serious approach to life . Through your own experiences you have learned to be understanding and compassionate towards others and always willing to help out. You are courageous, independent and strong willed with a desire to use your talents in progressive projects which will benefit mankind.

Pretty cool. Well school is about to start and all the new students have arrived. It has been a crazy past couple of days helping them move in and meeting new girls. I am excited for what God has planned for this semester. I love love love living in the apartment with Katie and Lacy. I feel so blessed and privileged to be living with girls that are chasing after God and living to make thier life count for the Kingdom of God. Thanks God, for real.

College tomorrow.

Hey everyone I was bored so i thoght I would update here but yea I have had alot to say so go to my xanga.
My Xanga and yea leave me a comment too c-ya
--Curtis--

My day started with Sunday school this morning, as most of my Sundays do. It was kinda neat to see all the extra people there that had not been there over the summer. Then there was the church service, and then there was the lunch, but I skipped it to eat a real quick lunch at my house right before I rushed out of the house for convocation.

I had been told it would be terribly boring, and it was kinda boring, but I am soooo glad I went. First off, I had a blast sitting with Anna. We just laughed about everything! And the band did an amazing job doing their Olympic music 4 1/2 times... ha ha... and Aron Ralston was a good speaker. It was cool to see his prosthetic arm and wild hair. Also, it just felt like the official beginning of college, kinda like how graduation is the official end.

Afterwards was sooooo awesome! Anna, her cousin Nathan, Renfroe and I walked forever to get to the picnic, where we are greeted by a band singing "I like big butts..." (at this point we are telling Anna to cover her eleven year old cousin's ears) and then it started to pour. Thankfully, I had my umbrella, and we spent much of our time waiting for food huddled together under my umbrella along with Alex Rader and two random girls he knew. Let me tell you, I totally regretted not having my camera with me... it was definitely a Kodak moment of our first big college experience! I saw Miss Ashley Orman and Allison DeBlois with the Armark people and talked with them briefly.

So while tromping through puddles to get back to our cars, Garrett calls me and invites me to come with his family to TGI Friday's to celebrate his birthday (which is Wednesday). Well, I looked like a drowned rat at the moment, but why not? So I went home, and was amazed and relieved to discover that my wet hair had magically dried in a beautifully wavy way. I thanked God for that as I changed clothes and got ready.

So Friday's was fun. Garrett's mom sneakily whispered to the waitress that it was Garrett's birthday, so he was quite surprised when a whole crew of waiters and waitresses start clapping and singing! So all in all, I had a pretty busy, and pretty terrific day. I'm a little nervous about tomorrow, but mostly excited, especially after convocation and the picnic. I really believe that these next four years just really may blow away my expectations...

classes start tomorrow...my first is at 9 it's a Math class

please just pray that everything goes good this week! i'm a real worry wart and so i'm super worried! thanks guys!

eliz

Everything will happen in Gods time......I just have to be patient!!!

i just want to feel better....i have a fever tha night b4 i start college...joy!

Love Through Christ!

The One Ring......TO RULE THEM ALL!!!!!

Oh man, Flash animations are waaaaay too much fun.

Junior year=super mondo amounts of homework. This weekend alone I had a history paper to write, a spanish poem to finish, Etymology definitions, and history info to read (which I still haven't done). Last year I think I only had homework on the weekends like 3 times.....=P I'm not really complaining, it's just surprised me.

http://www.flashplayer.com/animation/ring.html

Watch it. it's amazing.

Grace's party=mucho fun. First spaghetti Factory trip, first laser quest game...hehehehe....very, very fun. =) Plus, our waiter looked like Ewan McGregor from Moulin Rouge, and we got him to sing....well, he did a little bit. =P Plus the funny looks we got from the crazy people in Nashville for wearing prom dresses made it more interesting....

~Rachel =)

I've never felt so unwelcomed...school starts tomorrow...JOY...

tonight was a disaster
sorry Claire :/
I LOVE YOU.
but max always seems to make up for it.
< 3

aight well im new 2 this thing so yea.... they need 2 make kewl layouts for this thang cuz white sux..

aight much love
Nat--

r kelly just performed trapped in the closet and played all the parts himself. including a man his wife, and the man's boyfriend.

it was quite possibly one of the most disturbing things ive ever seen.

Today was soo much fun! I havent had this much fun in ages..well we had Rally day at church..which is like celebrating the childrens ministry or somethin..and the church service was even fun! im a luteran, and lutherans usually sing the really old songs.but today we sang like really good songs..and also me and brooke and bekah sang a song..in front of the whole church! we were sooo nervous..but we did great! we didnt mess up..and we got tons of compliments afterwards..so glad it worked out! after that we ate witts bbq..and then most ppl went out side and they had like games and stuff..they had a dunking booth..and some other stuff..they had a table with cans of shaving cream on it and u were supposed to squirt a lil on the table and write ur name..or play with it or somethin..but me and lauren got like a huge handful and started puttin it all over eachother..and then brooke got in it..then susanna..haha we walked around with shaving cream ALL OVER US! lol it was so fun..and then i got an idea to try to put some on aaron..but every time i tried to he turned around..so i gave up..we went inside..but then i went back out and got a huge handful of shaving cream..and snuck up behind him and wham put it all over his head..haha it was hilarious..then he went in the boys bathroom and we went in there too..and then we locked brooke and aaron in there..well we jus did like a lot more stuff i dont feel like typin..but anyways..it was really fun!

i'm really worried about the people in New Orleans and Mobile. i was reading CNN.com, and it was saying how New Orleans is going to be uninhabitable for weeks perhaps longer. it's crazy to think that one of the most well known cities in our nation could possibly be gone after this storm hits.

another thing to think about is that it'll hit us on monday and tuesday, meaning no practice AGAIN. and i would just love to know what we're gonna do for those 3 hours. personally i wouldn't mind going outside and just marching in the rain, it was the funnest time i had last year. we'll probably go in the gym and work on visuals for the drum solo... again...

i'm getting really excited about this new greenbox thing Nathan is cooking up. i can't wait for it to be unveiled.

new pics up. they are umm... interestingly funny.

No, I was not sad at all. Actually I could barely contain my laughter because my roommate was very upset. Is that bad? The funny thing is that the day before we thought that the frog was dying... but apparently the fish sacrificed his life... and now the frog is fine.

Today I visited The Four One One. I really liked it. And Jason liked it too.... although he didn't spare me the many complaints on how long it took to get there because the weekend G train is slow. But the awesome thing is that he actually went. So I will take all his complaining... it just means God is at work. And that is Amazing. I think Im going to go back there next week and then try and visit two other churches.... dont know. We will see. Please pray for Jason if he crosses your mind.

I got to tell my roommate about Jesus the other night. God is so good. She was SO interested. She doesn't really know anything about Him and her heart is very open. And she really wants to know all she can about it. I am so excited. GOD is so faithful. There are so many opportunities here to witness.... just pray that I will take advantage of every single one.

Also... if you think about it. Pray that if it is God's will, I will find a good Christian friend here on campus. It is so hard being without that support. But in a way I think God is teaching me how to stand on my own... well actually not on my own at all... But to rely on Him and stand in Him alone. But my legs are beginning to feel a bit wobbley. When I am weak, then He is strong. HE IS FAITHFUL!

I love you guys. I miss you! and Im praying for you.
I have my first SIX hour art class tomorrow from 9- 4. uuuuuuuhhhhhhh.

i really don't like to write in these thingys but i still get on sometimes so if you want to leave me comments you can!!!

Church, mainly Sunday school, was SO different. I've been at North Boulevard my entire life, and I always know pretty much everybody in my class. Not today, lol. For the first time ever, I was in my own church and only knew about six people in there! It was cool though; I met a lot of people and caught up with some who graduated before me. After Sunday school, I went to service where the students and their families were released early to the fellowship hall for a potluck lunch. Mmm, good food right there.

After church, my cousin Nathan and I met up with my brother, his wife, and Powers to go to Convacation at Murphy Center. Aron Ralston, the guy who amputated his arm when he was caught "between a rock and a hard place" spoke. I wasn't sure how good it would be, but I really did enjoy it. . . and the Band of Blue did a marvelous job of playing the same song four and a half times in a row, lol. Ralston's speech was really good; I liked it a lot. "Yo gotta believe!"

Once Convacation was over, Nathan, Amy, Renfroe, and I walked over to the president's cookout. . . where the first words we heard from the concert were "I like big butts, and I cannot lie." We waited FOREVER in line for our food, and it started to poor like crazy. For awhile, we ((plus Alex Rader and two girls Amy and I didn't know)) huddled under an umbrella, but I finally just let it rain on me. I got soaked. After eating in Peck Hall, Amy, Nathan, and I walked back to our cars ((30 minute walk in the rain)), and Nathan and I went to Food Lion so I could get some random stuff.

Oh, I never said anything, but I got a desktop for my room like, a month ago, and I finally got the internet in my room today while I was gone, so that's pretty cool.

. . . College starts tomorrow.

I like it over there

well, ive made a decision. i dont think some people are going to agree with it, and i have appologized like crazy for it, but i think i need to do it. just for the better. so just know that ur still awesome, and hopefully everything will be ok again. sorry. bye

and now to everyone else, hi.

this one is simply..."bloom where you're planted."

i am always complaining about school and so on... so this reminds me to just be content where i am. God has a reason for everything.

The retreat was awesome. Much was learned, much was planned, much was discussed. The food was excellent. I got to spend time with some wonderful people.

Quotes of the weekend:

"I wanna see the blue boats!!"

"Sometimes I cry...but the coffee's worth it."







You just have to take a risk sometimes, you know?? I wish I could read people's minds. Really, really bad.

Xanga, Myspace, they got boring.
I like this better.

I don't think people should get upset over petty things because you never know how much time you will have with the person you get upset w/.

and hes so cute and i like him alot! gosh im like ahh but yeah....:-( i dont think he likes me and that hurts... its so hard watching someone you like like someone else it makes me sad.... but i guess i just have to get used to it....

school is so caotic....is that even a word? lol

So learning about things is awesome; however, I am pretty sure I am going to be reading finance for hours upon hours this semester. This is a subject of interest to me, but my texts are very boring at explaining it. I would much rather be able to go get a job today and learn what is needed a long the way. Apparently, this is not satisfctory in our society though. Well, it is high time for me to start reading again. FUN.

ahhhhhhhhhhh...leadership retreat was so much fun. rachael meyer is the love of my life and i could not live with out her...but seriously, we did have a lot of fun and a little bit of an emo talk...but those are the best kinds... ...brian king is filarious, as well as Elizabeth Duncan, Chris Madison, and Ben Yeargan....omg... i laughed until i couldn't breathe....alex lewis made up the ever so politically correct name "Gayfer McGaygay" along with Hoey McHoho, Fatty McFatfat, and
Faggy McFagfag..as well as claiming that he and Ben are "Gay for Jesus" which is funny in an extremely sacreligious sorta way...lord have mercy....fun times. watched Mean Girls again last night...i forget how funny that movie is.. Kevin G. is my lover....and also, i watched Phantom of the Opera...for storey.."CAH! CAH CAH CAH CAH! Why you alwaysasprayamahchin?"...man. and for some reason, the food was really good too. i'm excited about getting to help head up the prayer team. woot woot. chris madison is freakin hilarious..." i got Chi-ed, and, um...lots of other stuff that i'm too tired to write right now...man...i love my church...

PRAY FOR NEW ORLEANS!!!!

Watching all of this coverage of hurricane Katrina on CNN makes me think of the movie The Perfect Storm. But seriously, this will probably turn out to be one of the worst hurricanes in years. Keep the people of New Orleans and surrounding areas in your prayers.




I just heard a report that this hurricane will still be a Category 4 hurricane when it moves into Alabama. Wow.

Keep track with Hurricane Katrina on CNN

ahhh so nice........everyone pray for Emily Lapham to get better soon please.....thanks

God Bless

Well, I'm running down the road
tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on
my mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she's a friend of mine
Take It easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
and take it easy
Well, I'm a standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
and such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford slowin' down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
we will never be here again
so open up, I'm climbin' in,
so take it easy
Well I'm running down the road trying to loosen
my load, got a world of trouble on my mind
lookin' for a lover who won't blow my
cover, she's so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
don't let the sound of your own
wheels make you crazy
come on baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy


now that's just cool. and look at the reflection in the window. (It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed
Ford)

Today marks the 3-month mileston for PhuseBox.net. As of right now, we have 832 users and that number grows everyday. It is exciting to see the site grow with new users. The huge success in just a few months has really taken me by surprise.

I am continuing to work on the greenbox project. The new design and features are definitely worth the wait and should be ready soon, probably within the month of September. Hopefully this will coencide with our 1,000 user.

Thanks to everyone that has made PhuseBox what it is and continue to spread the site. I will always make effort to take into consideration the thoughts and suggestions from users to make PhuseBox even better.

I hope everyone has a great week and feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions.

Very much an individual with a charismatic personality and keen mind you attract many admirers and much affection. You are extremely sociable and build relationships with honesty, trust and a good sense of humour. You have great potential for material success using your intellectual skills possibly in writing or speaking. Your industry, determination and positive mental attitude always win out

What is a friend?

What is a friend not?

When am I proud?

What am I proud about?

How do others perceive me?

Do I love other?

Do others love me?

Do I give enough of myself to others?

Do I give enough of myself to God?

Why do I do what I do?

Just some things to think about

my heart is restless in me
my wings are all worn out
i'm walking in the wilderness and i cannot get out...

i need you, oh i need you... blessed savior come
i need you, oh i need you... fill the every longing of my soul!
oh how i need you Lord! i need your perfect Word
with tearful eyes i see the sin that i afford
i need to weep and pray for all the thousand ways that i have failed you just today...

my bed is soaked with sadness
my sadness has no end
a downward spiral of despair that i keep falling in...

i need you, oh i need you... to you my soul shall fly
i need you, oh i need you... Yahweh, how i love you more than life!
oh how i need you Lord, i need your perfect Word
with tearful eyes i see the sin that i afford
i need to weep and pray for all the thousand ways that i have failed you just today...

your silence is like death to me
so won't you hear my desperate plea!
today my soul is soaring
way over mountains high
tho i can see the valleys... they're all just passing by
it's not that i am stronger! look at my feeble wings

but i've been lifted higher... Yaweh's lifted me in His own strength!

oh how i love you Lord! i love your perfect Word
with tearful eys to see the God that always will endure

now i will celebrate for all the thousand ways that you have showed me grace
and made my heart in grace to stay
i need you , oh i need you!

The meaning of "Eric Crumley"

-Eric Crumley


"Confident in yourself with a strong mind and creative flair you have the ability to apply your ideas to practical purposes. Your wisdom and balance means that others seek you out for counsel and guidance. You set high objectives for yourself based on your idealism and then achieve them with boundless energy and determination. You are loved for your understanding and positive attitude to life."

I think the last part sums me up pretty well.

PhuseBox user lauraebeth has created a Xanga BlogRing called PhuseBox Is Better. Thanks Laura!

Of course, this is just a public service announcement to the PhuseBox community.  ;-)
