hey all college age tuesday night  is Encounter at 7:07pm come and join and bring a friend!

before i start. its bad for me.

i'm running hard to the end of the line
passing stars and all the planets that hit me
forgive me if i should pass you by,
nothing personal, just trying to save me
don't doubt that i will look back and wave
i'm just sorry there's no time to visit..
going this hard, is wearing me out
but i can't stop or else they'll catch up
and drag me back home..

Sometimes my life can be more interesting than I would like it to be.......

Mmmmhhmmm they do, especially when you're babysitting all week. I had one today, and I had 0 caffene or anything to make it go away.Not a happy camper, but I had to keep it cool for the kiddies.

 Interesting little tidbit, my grandparents call (the ones I haven't seen in 5 years) call us up and invite us to my aunts baby shower. I knew Em was preganant, and I knew we got an invitation, I just didn't know we were actually GOING to the thing. I missed Scitzo, but it wasn't too bad. I got to see my great grandma (and I haven't seen her in about 7 years) so it was pretty cool. I just wonder when she started using a cane...

  And thirdly, I was up till about 11 last night. I was poking around on a Greek Mythology website (I"m a mythology NUT) and all of a sudden it hit me like a ton of paper, and that's pretty hard. STORY TIME!!! I've been typing it on and off scince I got home, can't think of what to call it or how it's gonna play out but it's a great way to waste time.

sleep is good.
: )

so i got a little busted.. my mom found kayla's almost empty smirnoff bottle.... in one of the bags of extra food i brought home after she went poking. lol. she gave me a look but didn't get mad. lol.

i had a great time camping. i just wish i never had to come back!!! lol. im so tired of all the bullshit at both jobs that i just want to disappear into oblivion.

and i guess i would take sean with me. lol. but right now we wont get into that subject.... because yeah.. i find myself finding reasons to stay out all night so that i can... yeah.. stay out all night. we will leave it at that.

anyways i need to unpack and do laundry and shower lol.

good night folks! use protection.

I am going through some pretty rough times right now with my family, the corps, and my future, and I could use some serious prayer-age right now everyone. Keep me in your prayers, please.

One Step Forward - Palm House ... the Owner agreed to most of the items on the QA/QC list.  Now the owner, broker, and my company can fight out the last 2-3 items .... its not in my control.

Two Steps Back - Need to have some forms notarized.  Left work at 345pm ... to go get that done ... 2 hours to get to hotel ... then 45 minutes looking for the notary, which we never found ... 700pm back at the hotel ... no better off than I was at 345pm ... just very frustrated.

three deadly school shootings in one week.

what is the world coming to?

two words: dag yo.

man...why does this always happen? i am beginning to think that i have a mental problem.

question of the week: if i live with a guy, but we aren't dating and definitely don't sleep together, then is that wrong?

pretty sure i'm currently babysitting 2 kids, and lemme tell ya, Barney is one righteous dude. all that purple and green. plus, i learned today that mini-corndogs are very tasty, as well as the fact that burnt fish sticks are not.

yesterday after church, mom n dad took me and Cameron to the park after we went to the library (total soccer mom/dad), where i had just picked up the Ann Coulter book i had on hold. so i got to sit on a combination park bench-swing thingy and read her book Godless (which is a-freaking-mazing). 'twas a very, very good day. but seriously, i just had some time to sit there and ponder some stuff. pretty sure all of it had to do with God, and it was all really cool. like, in sunday school, we were just talking about how it is that you can read the same story multiple times in the Bible and get something different from it each time.

last night, at the beseeching of William, i watched Flight 93, which apparently made him cry uncontrolably, but the acting was so bad that i didn't shed a single tear. maybe you just have to be in that kind of a mood for it to affect you like that. whatev.

this just in: i think i'm either going to be a nun or a hippie for halloween, so that i can have one last halloween hoo-hah with my little brother. i'm so glad my parents aren't against halloween anymore. that whole thing is just silly.

one last question: if i posted a paper that i wrote about religious freedom for english, would any of you read it?

much love to you all ---Cari

Latin is dead
As dead as it can be
First it killed the Romans
And now it's killing me!

Last night i stayed out with my friends Brittany and Michelle... yes i'm a heathen for skipping church last night and of course i am regretting it. i am as soar as crazy!!! that did not make sense but anywho. we didn't go to monster mountain... but instead went to The haunted woods, Old salem insane asylum, and Devil's Dungeon. Devil's Dungeon was first... it was my first Haunted house ever... so i didn't know that if you even play like your scared or make fun of them they will come after you more... thanks to michelle who didn't tell me until after we were in the car heading to the next one. lets just say, since it was my first i didn't know what to expect. I screamed... and i laugh at scary movies...! but anyways:

We payed our $10 and walked in... it was pitch black inside this huge place where there were black and white plywood walls with bloody smered hand prints everywhere.. you walk into this little closed off area where this guy in neon yellow jogging shorts and his face painted like he is in a heavy metal band...greets you as you approach grey painted benches that are resting underneath gargoyels. he explains the rules and is content about you paying attention.( he said he would chop off my toes with his rusty old garden hoe...i told him cool.. who needs 'em and we laughed.He didn't think it was very funny) He then released us to walk through this pitch black warehouse/maze thing. there were red and white strobe lights continually flashing and insanely dead people running through the hallways getting in your face,banging on the walls, popping out at you, starting up chainsaws, yelling and babling on as though they are insane and out of their minds. we journeyed through the maze like warehouse having no idea where we were going other than towards the long awaited exit. we went through tunnels the spun around us, got down on our hands and knees to make our way through spaces so small it would make anyone clostrephobic (sp), and ran into blood covered walls and bodies that were dangled from the seilings in blood drenched sheets. then we  thought that we had finally reached the end when we were lead back into the building and were introduced into areas that looked so much like living rooms,dungeons, torcher chambers, "slaughter houses", basements, and bedrooms where you ran into phsycopaths. We soon found ourselves in a maze of multiple doors and walls with holes and entryways in them. We later realized that there was a guy following us. whenever we would ask,"are you ok"(we were running each other into the walls and were holding on for dear life in the pitch black maze) or," do you have a hold on michelle's mom's jacket" he would say," yes i'm fine" or," yes i do" in a high pitch voice trying his best to sound like us. so my friend michelle said back in a higher pitched voice mimicing him," you sound like your going through puberty," we laughed cause he then replied in his normal low voice," what did you say about me?!?!" we laughed our heads off and forgot that we were stuck in the middle of a pitch black maze. we finally knew we were headed for the exit when that same guy later said," i wouldn't go there if i were you, it's a dead end" so we went and finally found the exit.. but as we were finding our way back outside of the warehouse a guy freaked us out by starting up a chainsaw right outside the door. so needless to say we took off running...lol. it was halarious. My friends will never let me live down that i held my hat over my face while we were in the pitch black maze. lol. even though i had fun with them...i'm never going to another haunted house again.

ttyl...i have scitzo practice tonight!

after several requests i have created a group titled the official petition to Nathan for a PINK font...... you should join!

We has a great game on Sat.  Yes, we lost 0-1 and it was a JV game (our only JV game of the season), but we only played w/ 10 players.  There are 11 players on the field @ a time, so at all times in the game they had one more player than us on the field.  We also had absolutely no subs for the entire game, and they had 20-something players, so they had planty of subs.  I was the 2nd oldest player okn our teamther, and the oldest (Tabatha) isn't even 16 yet, and they were having to put in Varsity players (like their goalie) just to keep up.  I played defense, and our offense was doing amazing so we were super bored.  I only ran out of breath once for like a min.  They should have kicked our butts considering how many more players they had.  All of us play White County tomorrow (yes, it's varsity), and they haven't actually won a game in 11 years, so we are pretty excited (not cocky or overconfidant, but excited.)  It's our last home game, and it's senior night so Haylie and Jade will be introduced and stuff.  It starts @ 4:30.  Then on Thurs.  we play @ Blackman.  That will be our last season game.  Then we will prbably scrimmage Franklin County again (that's who we played Sat.), and then tournaments.  Wish us luck!

by the way...
Nathan can we get a hot pink color on here?? 
That would be awesome!!!

Why, Why, Why ?

Q:Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting weak?    A:To make the bloody things work until they are very dead

Q:Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough?   A: Because our economy sucks and we need some extra cash. And because digging between the cushoins for change just isn't cutting it.

Q:Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?   A:They don't really beleive you, they go home and check online. When it's something tangible thay can just reach out and check.

Q:Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?  Because the bottle is glue-retardant

Q:Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection? A: Irony, lots of irony.

Q:Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard?  A: He shaves it, duh!

Q:Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?  A: Because it HURTS when you get clunked in the sternum with a revolver

A:If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?  A: They're not really apes, they're just really stupid (and hairy) people.

Q:Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?  A: Because we can't dye bubbles with our advanced technology.

Q:Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?  A: On the days the store is closed.

Q:Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized? A: Because we're hungry, gosh darn it!!

Q:Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?  A: To make sure the string is clean.

Q:Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?  A: Because you're a weakling

Q:How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures? A:They crawled in there to die.

Q:When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, "It's all right?" Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, "That hurt, you stupid idiot?"  A: Because we have manners and they don't.

Q:Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that's falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?  A: It's Karma for knocking the first thing over in the first place.

Q:In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?  A: Because it's COLD in the winter, we'd freeze if we didn't.

Q:How come you never hear father-in-law jokes? A: Because most father-in-laws are fairly decent guys.

i was asked this question
and i still can't answer it

i want nothing and everything i want the world and i want to be free of the world i want satisfaction and deprivation i want to feel something and i never want to feel again i want to be needed but i don't want anyone to count on me i want to dissapoint you to see if you will still care about me if i do but i want to be invulnerable and never fail i want to be normal but i never want to be like anyone else

there will never be a simple answer for what i want
maybe i don't know
so i decide i want everything
or maybe i do know
so i decide i want nothing

please excuse the morbid cynicism
i'm feeling like myself today

I'm gonna take it upon myself
To be with you and love no one else
Cause your my girl and I'm your man
So come on over life just began
But then comes...
Dooby dooby dadada do you love her?
Dooby dooby dadada do you love her?
Dooby dooby dadada do you love her?
Do do dad I don't know if I love her

sometimes I think my boyfriend feels like that
hm...I think I'm just paranoid.

Hello everybody. This week is going to be a crazy week. I've got way too much to do in the next few days. Just pray for me that I can balance all this stuff. I don't know if I'll be able to get on here much this week. In other good news, our refferal from the Chinese gov't is getting closer and we expect to travel in march is the earliest. When we get my little sister I'll post about 100 or so pics of that adorable piece of God's work. Well I'll TTYL guys. I got work to do.

    So lately, I've been a little sick...  I think it is from the season change.  My sinuses are all messed, and intern that has caused my throat to start to feel dry and scratchy. And for some reason I have a little trouble breathing.  This has all happened before, and when it did before I just went to the doctor and they gave me some amazing stuff, so I'm going again to day.

    On a brighter note, this all means I don't ahve to go to class today, YAY!

The Oakland Band would to extend our deepest sympathy to Richland High School band. Our prayers are with their their band and the family and friends of the young man that passed away.

1 Band, 1 Sound? No. I am One Person. The drumline is my heartbeat, the brass fanfare is the blood in my veins, the colorguard is the fire in my eyes and the Drum Major is my every solititary breath.

That I need major prayers over. . .

A lady talked to my Spanish class a couple of weeks ago about studying abroad in Spain for five weeks next summer. It's a great opportunity for me to enhance my Spanish speaking skills and for me to get six credits easy. . .

. . . but something was nagging me and saying that maybe I should spend that much money on a trip for something a little Bigger.

Bigger like a mission trip where I'd be gone for nine weeks in Mexico, Guatemala, and Hondouras next summer.

How awesome would that be?

Anyway, not that I don't think that God doesn't actually want me to go and spread His word, but pray that if I make the decision to do the mission trip that it's where God wants me.

Oh, and pray for Laura, too, because she wants to do this too. We've both talked off and on about going on a mission trip to a Spanish speaking place.

That's what happens when I hit Title-block, I start singing West Side Story. Be afraid!!

 Not really, but ok.Service was great tonight, I cried. And I don't usually cry, that just goes to show how awesome it was.

 I need to find a way to load my pictures onto this darn site. It keeps saying " .bmp is not an accepted data" or something like that.Anybody got any ideas?

Sunday was not much of a day ... got up ... then worked all day in the hotel.  Decy and the girls went to the pool for a while ... then girls studied ... and Decy worked on her export business building pricing/order forms.

Someone said something to me today that I know confirmed the reason God put me here.

It makes me smile and brings me peace.

well. i havent been on phusebox in a very long time..but i thought getting crowned homecoming queen was a noteworthy subject...heh. it was such a fun night..and ill try and get some pictures on here as soon as i can..

...emily has her night of elegance or whatever at her church sooo ive gotta go curl hair and make her look nice and presentable...love you-kels

I am bored...abviously since my title tells you that and because this is my first blog since August. I leave for Disney World on Wednesday! YAY! My camera died...damnit, damnit, damnit. It is almost my 2 month anniversary with Max, weird? Kind of stupid I know when an insignificant anniversary is? Senior year is great, yet not as exciting as I was hoping it would be. Season only has about a month left of it :'( I ran a great race yesterday according to Coach Salty, but he doesn't realize that my times aren't going down, they are almost the exact same. I am getting really annoyed about that, but at least they aren't going up. That's about my life right now.

Well I woke up one morning and I woke up to see,
all the pepperoni pizza was a lookin at me,
It screamed why do you burn me and serve me up cold?!
I said I got the spatula just do what you're told.
Then the liver and onions starting joining the fight,
And the chocolote pudding pushed me with all its might,
And the chopped suey slapped me and kicked me in the head
" It's called revenge lunch lady!" said the garlic bread.
I said "What did I do to make you all so mad?"
They said you got flabby arms and your breath is bad.
Then the green beans said you better run and hide.
But then my friend sloppy joe came and joined me side.
He said, if it wasn't for the lunch the lady the kids wouldn't eat ya
You should be shaking your hand and saying "pleased to meet ya."
She gives you a purpose and she gives you a goal,
You should be kissing her feet and kissing her mole.
Now all the angry foods just leave me alone, and we all live together in a happy home.
Thanks to..
Sloppy Joe, Slop, Sloppy Joe.. ....

i have an aerosmith/ motley crue ticket i need to sell asap! it was $44 but i'm willing to go as low as $35 for it. it's a lawn seat so even if you're going with other people, you can still use this ticket (assuming you'll be sitting in the grass anyway). if you or anyone you know is interested pleeeeease let me know!

you know what....i am bored as normal.........

i swear me and clayton may have broken up but i LOVE his mother. she is the sweetest thing ever to walk the face of this planet! i still talk to her all the time and like a week ago i broke down and thought i would do the nice thing and call and say hey so i did. pretty sure i talked to him for like 3 minutes and talked to his dad for about 10 then i talked to his mom for a good half hour. i don't know who was talking faster. lol. i'm starting to kinda have mixed feelings about this whole break up thing. i mean he did cheat on me. but atleast he didn't fuck her and he had the balls to tell me about it. i mean i love the guy to death i always have. we had so much fun and i'm thinkin it's better off this way. but i know since i'm still so close to his whole family it's gonna be pretty awkward. i mean we all grew up together! and mom is really wanting me to come see her (for the purpose of this post "mom" refers to clayton's mom) and dad (same with "dad") but i just know that i'm gonna go say hi to everyone and i'm gonna go to give him a hug and he's gonna kiss me or i'm gonnna kiss him or something and then the shit will REALLY hit the fan. i mean he told mom today that if she talked to me to tell me to come see him when i get a chance. how the fuck is he gonna go and do that when apparently he's dating the same skank that he cheated on me with?? and according to mom she's fucking hideous AND she's 33! everyone is raggin on me for talking to JJ and he's only 26. atleast he's not 30 something. i really don't know what is going on. it's like if JJ is around i'm going clayton who? but then when he's not here and i get to talkin to mom i start thinkin about all the stuff wee got into this summer. i mean, goin to panama together, going down to the bluff all the time, rididn around all of erin, going to paris for the fourth of july. i mean we had so much fun i'm smilin just thinkin about it! i really don't know what to do. i need boy help guys. what do u think...talk to clayton and see if he wants to give it another go? or stick around and see about this whole fling with JJ??

*and the beat goes on*

so ive decided to stay in that math class after all.

im starting to understand stuff now, and i dont think im going to totally fail!

at the moment, my life pretty much consists of school, band, crew, homework, and college essays and applications.

i did take a break last night tho, and got my nails all did. : ]

p.s. is there a way to make this thing prettier?

Only a person with insominia could work a 9 1/2 hour day and get home around midnight and still be up at 2:30 AM because they can't sleep. Wait...i'm too young to have insomnia. But i didn't even drink caffeine...

I may be going crazy.

Well, maybe not literally.

But I don't think it's a conscidence that when you're finally soaking in the peace that God gives you and abiding in Him, that the devil throws you a million curveballs to distract you from that.

Thank goodness for friends and family to help take my mind off of those petty little worries.

Thanks so much for everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Hopefully being 20 will get better soon... maybe it will be once the semester is over... sigh...

Just so none of you are surprised tomorrow, my hair is almost black. I dyed it today, it was intended to be a brown-blackish color, now it's mostly black. I'll try to post a picture later.

"Make me a channel of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring Your love; where there is injury, Your pardon, Lord, and where there's doubt, true faith in You. Make me a channel of Your peace. Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope, where there is darkness, only light, and where there's sadness ever joy. Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek so much to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel  of Your peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, in giving of ourselves that we receive, and in dying that we're born to eternal life."

---St. Francis of Assisi

Party in Crossville baby, with my family.

Hey ya'll. Today has been the most boring day of my life. I've tought myself at least 4 songs on guitar. And I wrote a good one too. That has been my day, write to me about yours. I'll read it. TTYL.

some people are just way stupid. but it made for interesting conversation on the ride home. pretty sure mother bought our performance.. and it was really not too bad. some parts i was like wtf is the band playing bc it does NOT sound like our music. and in guard there were some individual mistakes but not THAT bad. most were stupid though. so i dont think we`ll get chewed out that bad.. but who knows? mr waters daughter died a year ago this coming monday, and she went to lebanon high. i think thats why he was moodswingy, but he always says to leave personal matters at home and just focus on guard. and also that we are a family and everyone will be there to support you yet leaves for 2 weeks and avoids talking about it. but whatever, im over it. but i learned three [guard] things today. 1- my tosses on flag tend to be low, and on rifle too high. 2- if you are mad and just go do the work and dont care how it turns out.. you will get a good run. dont know how it works but most guard girls werent too happy and they were like um whatever and it ended up being a good run. well ok i do know why that is, but its hard to explain. 3-i forgot. haha. so it must not be important.

Went by the Palm house today. Owner is doing the various upgrades and cleaning the house.  It looks really nice. I am starting to feel better and better about it ... but will be more confident once the lease is signed.

Got a new piece of our life back together.  Decy had said she couldn't get the karoke machine to work in the hotel ... and I just accepted that.  So tonight (Sat) I thought I would make a go of it ... got it working ... now Decy and Che are over there singing ... another step toward normalcy ..... CELEBRATE THE SMALL THINGS ...

bling bling
 so with seemingly everyone around me getting engaged
and my already present facination with things that
sparkle
i've been thinking more so about these wonderful sparkly things

and why exactly they do attract my attention
 and i've come to the conclusion
that it all goes to wanting to feel
special
important
royal

i want to be a princess
and have each and every priviledge that comes with that
i mena i like the sparkle all by itself

but i think that what i really like is what it represents
and it is then that once again i am reminded
that i am a princess

a daughter of the King of Kings
He truely hung the moon and the stars just for me
He loves me above all else
I AM
special
important
royal

and He wore a crown for me
so that i
could wear a tiara

Friday night all of us (including Decy's mom) went to LIS to hear the concert.  Lots of very very good music from the high school kids.  Chely's group was the last group to sing ... they did 3 songs.

Ok, so, for Chely's choir there was about 70 people ... Chely's in the soprano group (they don't break out 1st and 2nd).  The songs were very well done ... very well balanced.  On several occassions the director pointed to the sopranos to bring up the volume for a special part ... of the probably 8 sopranos only 2 had decent voices ... there in the auditorium ... with hundreds of folks listening and 70 kids singing you could clearly heart the sweet sound of Chely's voice lifting above the others ... crisp, clear, beautiful ... just like the director wanted.

Chely has so much untapped talent in music ... and, beginning next week she will be taking private singing lessons ... we are going to try to develop that God-given talent.

As for Thaysa ... we are still trying to find that 'sweet spot' for her and her talents ... for now, she is taking some modelling classes ... and will be in a few fashion shows at the end ... this should be a confidence builder for her.

Decy says that Fairus is going to take her and the girls to the TV production studio (not sure when as he is moving to England in a couple of weeks).  Fairus is going to re-introduce Decy to the staff (recall that Decy use to act in soap operas before we met) and the girls also.  He seems pretty confident that the girls will be offered some bit-parts (in due course) ... the girls are just not your normal Indonesians ... and their confidence and the way they carry themselves sets them apart from others.

RE the Cars - A-ok ... all is in place (Yeah).  Friday we released the rental car and driver.  Decy said that Pak Supandi (driver's name) cried a bit ... I understand he didn't have any work after this and was hoping he could be one of our permanent drivers ... but we had already chosen Pak (Mr.) Mustafa and Pak Mulyono.

RE the Palm House.  On Friday we received the QA/QC audit report .... as soon as the owner agrees to the list (which is pretty short) we can move towards executing the lease.  I figure it will be Friday next week at the earliest that the lease is actually executed.

After the lease is executed we will establish a firm move-in date ... organize security 2-3 days before move-in ... and then move in the furniture.  My best guess is the weekend of 13-14 October that we check out of the hotel and sleep in the house for the first time ... BUT, its not a done deal yet ... anything can still happen.

Amsouth still sucks !!!

Time to wake Decy up and for me to go get a 2 hr massage ...

ciao ciao.

See you at the pole was ok. The Girls put in chrage weren't 100% sure what they were doing but it all went well. Wed. Night service was awesome. We went on a "feild trip" to the Court House, stood around the pole, and practicly had service there!

Today was the last day of school for a whole week cuz next week is FALL BREAK!!!! i am so excited! but now it seems as though i will not be going to "Monster Mountain" with my friends until Friday night. One of the main reasons why  i am going is so that the friends that i am going with will come to the judgement.

I have invited already a total of 20 people that i did not invite or know last year. Two of my friends went last year that are going to come again this year. Well that 20 isn't all that i have invited, just all that i have invited that said they were coming. It is so hard trying to describe what the Judgement is without giving away what it is. Most of my friends ask me if it is super scary because of the tickets look creepy to half of the,. the other half they look cool...lol.

thats all. oh here are all the grades that i have found out so far instead of waiting until i get back for fall break:

• Geometry???


• World Geography???


• English 2- 95


• French Honors 2???


• Biology Honors- 97


• Financial Planning- 97

so right now it looks as though i will have A's and B's maybe one C?

Later!!!

I feel better. Thanks for praying for me.

Parents gone for the weekend. House to myself.

Yay!

Ya so I'm gettin ready for the Farragut game........I can't wait! I'm bout to go paint up! HOW EXCITING! ya so well I really dont know what to say except for I had a really good day! and that I'm so going boarding tomorrow with Jeremy King and we might get to hang in his movie theatre! stoopid rich kid! j/k but ya I cant wait for that oh ya and one bore thing........UT better kick butt tomorrow or i'll be HEATED! but oh well.......i reckon there's nothin i can do bout it......so ya I'm out kiddos!......peaCe......<3HaleY

Hey.  Let me know who all is interested in going camping on the 15th
and 16th.  It would be cool to know soon.  You have to be a senior in
high school or be college aged.  Give me a call or text me or my
brother.

The air date for the Extreme Makeover Home Edition that I worked on is October 8th on ABC, I believe that it is at 8pm

If you don't eat your vegetables and go to bed, the Ebu Gogo will get you.

For some reason it is more convenient to have a baby on a Tuesday.

Many babies are born in August because it is cold in the winter time and there is nothing to do.

Contrary to popular belief, lunar gravity does not affect births. The moon's gravity does not pull the baby out any faster.

Maybe I will have more to add later.

Life is beautiful.  I wonder what's truth: abstract or physical. 

------

I want to be moved again.  I want that conviction that drove me and got me through high school.  It's like I'm going through the motions of college just to get by.  I'm missing out on so much.  I'm sitting here in a beautiful apartment, with a beautiful 3rd floor balcony and a beautiful view of nature.  Chattanooga is beautiful.  The river greenway brings so much peace.  I was driving home today, and the clouds.  They were so beautiful.  Just another sunny day in Californ-i-a?

------

I need you, whoever you are.  You--you'll reach deep down in my heart and see the real me.  And you'll stick there no matter what I do, even when I try to keep myself from you.  Won't you be the one to heal my heart?  I've been missing you.

Hats, sunglasses, prom dresses, pyjamas, and banana yellow tshirts.  Pray they still have some shirts in the morning when I get to the bookstore.

Selling yearbook ads.  (Which apparently means "Let's go mudding." in Huberian.)

Kelsey and Trish in big poofy white dresses tomorrow night.

Brian's coming to visit and see his lady (see above, prior) in her big white poofy dress.

Fall break officially starts tomorrow at 3:00 PM.  Too bad that from Sunday AM to around 9:something Friday night, I will not be around to see my lovley friends.

Cross your fingers for me.  I'm flying home from Madison on my own on Friday.  And I have an hour and a half layover in O'Hare.  *gulp*

woot

It's Homecoming time ya'll!!! Time to kill Lebanon on the field and have a ball doing it. The only bad thing is, I dislocated my finger and won't see much game time this Friday night. It stinks but I don't care as long as we win. Ya'll gotta come support your Blackman Blaze in a great game on the 29th. I'm going to knock some heads in that game, even with a messed up finger. I do it in practice it's time to do it in a game and hurt somebody. In other news fall break is going to be great! It's the perfect time to really get into God's word. Love ya'll!!! See ya Friday. 

man, well what can i say..

baseball is now over, may get to go to gatlinburg this weekend.

get my wisdom teeth out, tuesday. and, well i'm alive.

what can i complain about?

and "that's what's up"

Its end of the month (EOM) ... some good things to reflect on ... some bad things to reflect on ...

Good Thought - Purchase of cars complete

Good Thought - God loves me ! (and so does my mother)

Good Thought - One month closer to retirement

Good Thought - All sons doing well, daughters are progressing at LIS; Thasya started modelling classes, Chely starts singing lessons next week

Bad Thought - Lots of finger pointing on the Palm house ... 18 days later 2nd inspection is still not complete ... everybody says it is somebody else's fault ... I don't know where we are in this process ... at this pace we will be lucky to be moving into a house by the 13th of October

Bad Thought - Amsouth bank sucks

Good thought - I'm healthy and my weight is doing fine; massages help !

Bad Thought - hotel living is not fun after 2 months ...

Good Thought - Today is payday

Bad Thought - Today's paycheck is the last of the big ones (Indonesia is not nearly as financially attractive as Angola)

... ok, enough of that ... one last good thought ... IT'S FRIDAY !!

ciao ciao

I need prayer.

I'm sick and I really can't be right now because it's slowing me down a bit. And because I have so much to do this weekend.

This week I've pushed off homework one night to sleep and then stay up the next finishing what I should have finished the night before.

Take care of your body...because when you don't...you pay for it.

My bed with warm covers, soft sheets, and wonderful pillows...with hot chicken noodle soup and a grilled cheese sandwich sounds like heaven to me.

First stop...Wal-mart to load up on every sore throat and cough medicine I can find.

if this glass is half empty
then so is my sanity
and i'm losing my mind
one little frame at a time
oh, my brain could explode..
but not before it uploads
all the negativity you've fronted
and all these words that you've flaunted
to me.....

and with a sigh i will rest...
just for moments, to do that which i might regret
but with this downhill fall
what else could i lose, if i lose part, i will lose it all

oh please listen, i have words to say
and emotions to spill, from my hearts overfill
just give me a moment of your time...

i'm trying hard not to faint
from the hurt of the pain
but my brain here is pulsing
from all the thoughts you're provoking
oh i'm trying to learn
my heart refuses to burn
no it ticks here deeply inside
and i guess it refuses to lie,
or decieve...

and with a sigh i will rest...
just for moments, to do that which i might regret
but with this downhill fall,
what else could i lose, if i lose part, i will lose it all...

oh please listen to me, i have words to say,
for thoughts of you linger still, and i'm trying to steal
them all just to simply run....

i'm a loser at heart,
and that i've known from the start
for what can't be changed..
well i guess it won't change..
though the world may think it should..
and i would if i could
but i'm one of few, who stand for what
they believe...

please stop all attacks
and won't you just relax
you know i don't deserve this
for i did you no wrong
and if it didn't hurt bad
i wouldn't write this song
but it hurts me so much
i can't keep in touch
with someone i thought once
could bring me through...

and with a sigh i will rest,
just for moments, to do that which i might regret
but with this downward fall,
i could lose it all, so now i'm just a guy
with something to prove, and nothing to lose
so please just spare a moment...
of your time....

ok this doesnt have to do with batman i just felt like doing that

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today is my last two hour driving thing so yeah!!!!!!

woot woot!!!!!

One day my housework-challenged friend named Neil decided to wash his sweatshirt.  Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he shouted to his wife, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"

"It depends," she replied.  "What does it say on your shirt?"

He yelled back, "Louisville."

"Hot water and 5 cups of bleach!"

so...anybody got any UL shirts I can wash??? 

ok so if u kno jackie u prolly read her post about her bad luck. ha. this is part two bitches.

since i have started school i have had the worst luck EVER- my radiator in my car blew up, i lived in a hotel ACROSS TOWN for 3 1/2 weeks, i failed my first pysch test, i can't find a job, i'm completely broke, i've overdrafted mmy bank account twice, i killed my iPod (yeah coincidence? jackie kills hers and exactly a week later i kill mine), my boyfriend cheated on me, i broke up with my boyfriend, i almost failed my first english paper, my computer has been going haywire, my wireless keeps dying, i broke my brand new cell phone faceplate 3 days after i bought it, two words: meacham disaster, my favorite picture frame ever that angela gave me b4 she moved to canada got smashed when i moved into my dorm

i think that's about it. long enough list?? man this is ust....AHH! something has got to give. i mean i'm still in a pretty good mood but that's just b/c that's me. plus i have a guy to distract me. u guys know me. i love boys. especially older college boys. ahhh. ok sry. got distracted again. lol. yeah ok. i just needed to vent. i feel a lil better now.

David was prophesying about God telling Jesus to sit

that David said this before he had died.  Telling the crowd it was a
prophecy.  God and Jesus is both God.
