I got my Phantom back yesterday. Yes, I watched it!! Did you expect me not to?

  I was originally planning to go to the Homecoming dance last night and had just finished making plans with Leslie, when Chris called. First thought: What the heck?. I answered, he told me he was almost in townand was having a movie night at his house!!! Needless to say I didn't go to the dance. Instead I watched Shanghai Noon and Knights, which just further proved Jackie Chan is AMAZING!!

I never have much to update about anymore. Life is ok. Last night was homecoming and we lost to independence 29-13. It sucked. They were also like the first school to be louder than us in the student section, and it was  HOMECOMING. Pathetic. That's about the only word i can use to describe that. Well, i got my senior pics back. So if you really want one just ask me, and i'll get u one. One of them looks just like my profile picture and i have one other pose. Anyway, i gotta go to work so leave comments!

13 DAYS TIL BIRMINGHAM!
~Garrett

i reallllly miss how things used to be. but i didn't realize it when I had it. I realize everything I have when it's gone and too late to ever have back again.
I don't like how people change. I don't like that people move away, because it changes everything in both people. It changes the dynamics of the place they moved from. It's so inconvenient. but yet, in the long run, helpful i suppose.
{this isn't what I expected at all}
I suppose I'm just in a state of confusion right now. Finding where my heart lies and sticking to it. I guess that's what preping for college is all about...you can't simply change your mind once you're there. your inital heart's desire is your decision for the next several years that mold your life. 

but I'm doing it again...
wishing away the time I have right now.
I always hate the first semester of school. it always brings me down. second is so much more uplifting and fun and exciting. and I can't wait for it to roll around to see what it has in store for me. I can't wait for this confusion to get sorted out, and for everything to go back to normal.

So most of you are probably aware that Amy is looking at Apples. Well, last night I got on her computer and designed a Mac Pro for her. The Mac Pro is their top tower model. The thing ended up being priced at $15,500. I about passed out. Then, we went to the Dell site and I designed one of their top XPS towers, it was priced at about $9,000. So yeah, top end computers are crazy.

Hey everybody. Our football team lost friday,but we got to have fun playing. That's all that matters. TTYL.

I think today is going to be a really good day.

I'm excited.

Can anyone tell me who won last night football game at Siegel ????

I've been having sinus crappiness going on lately.  I've also had sleep crappiness going on lately.  Tonight, they teamed up on me in the form of hallucinations.  I awoke around 2:15am being unable to breathe, but these polyps in my mind had me convinced that if I could just pronounce my French and Italian correctly, I'd be able to breathe again.  Naturally, I laid there for about half an hour struggling to breathe so that I could pronounce words correctly.  I was invariably wrong, but that's the way it goes.  Eventually, I hit a point where the floodgates of my nose opened and I realized that these polyps (which had surrounded me in a multitude of shapes and sizes); I then blew my nose and felt good for a few minutes.  I turned on some Andrea Bocelli to help me sleep, but the polyps returned, changing shape and color and size as Andrea's music changed; each time they'd change, I'd have to change my toes' directions, or else the polyps would stop my breathing again.  After a bit, I realized that the polyps were not real, but now it's a quarter after three.  I've taken 2 Tylenol and a sleeping pill, so maybe I can conk out and make it through the rest of the night.

so who am i supposed to call when it's 2 o'clock in the morning and i can't get to sleep because there's too much on my mind?

i don't know anymore.

i thought everyone was supposed to have someone for that . . .

I assume my last post was too intimidating in length to try and read..
So..
Here's a quote from my RA last night in bible study, that I thought was AMAZING.

Proverbs
18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death

We have
the power of life, and death, in our words, and every day, we're
killing people, and we don't even have to put a gun to their heads.

COLLEGE BOYS. enough said lol.

Crazy life. One day at a time. Busy. Wanting to do more things that aren't scheduled all the time. I think I just might. I'm going to the drive-in in Woodbury next weekend. Thank the Lord.

I'm actually having a problem in one of my classes because one of my teachers just can't...teach where I understand him.

So. This weekend I have to learn...what I'm supposed to know for a test on Tuesday. Eeek. Luckily I have Jonathan who always comes to my rescue to teach me in a way that I can understand. He spoils me.

I smell manipulation and it stinks like a pig. Girls have perfected manipulation.

Calm. Confused. Agitated. Withdrawn. Easily frustrated at times. Goofy most of the time. Says the wrong things at the wrong times. Wanting to say the right things at the right times. Yet...hopeful. (<-- Me)

i'm contemplating where to begin and what to leave out lol.   we'll start with more recent events. so you probably know the whole deal about the mold and having to move our entire life into a hotel in a land far far away. well that was supposed to be for about 3 days. well... a month later they tell us we can finally move in on wednesday... but the hotel is over booked and we have to be out of there by monday or something... so we have no where to go for 2 days.   well beth and i got moved into some apartments right next to campus... but we went into our room and there were already 2 girls in there and it's a 3 person room.... so we look for and R.A.. but it takes us like half an hour to find one... then they take an hour or so to figure things out blah blah blahhhhhh. 

so we finally get our entire lives moved into these apartments and about 9:30 the fire alarm goes off. which would have been fine.... had i not been in the shower!   i am naked and my room mate is like... "you have to come out the fire alarm is going off" so i get out and run outside completely soaked and we stand in the cold for about 20 minutes  and i hear people saying "that sucks, that girl was in the shower"...  

so yea, the next night i'm doing some homework and beth is on the phone . and to sum up her bad luck there was some drama.  and she was PISSED.. and was going to drive to frekin Erin... so i told her i was coming. [insert dramatic stuff].   so we get back and i'm like,.. "where's my purse"    . . . . you know that thing with my debit card, social security card, account number card, liscense, ipod, and $200 i just got out of the bank.. well shit... it fell out at a gas station.... that we couldn't remember the location of.....      but we found the station and some godly person turned my purse in without looking through it! i got lucky right?

well next morning i got my ipod out...  

someone ran over it. it's a big ole hunk of expensive junk now.

oh and now they're trying to charge me for living those apartments for two nights! wtf..

those are a few of the big things, and it's the little things that threw me over the edge yesterday....    stuff like losing my keys, and my friggin gay keyboard missing the screws for the stand, the cd, and the friggin adapter that no other place has.  plus i had to sing for a voice class and i really screwed that up bigtime and that depresses me. and a few other things depress me too lol  but    i hope things start working out now cause i can't laugh at this stuff for much longer! lol

don't let this entry make you think i'm like suicidal or hating college, cause it's quite the opposite. i just wanted to share my wonderfull karma with everyone and tell you guys to pray for me to be release from this curse! lol

I LOVE AND MISS YOU GUYS!! lataaaa

I can’t describe this feeling

My heart jumps into my throat with every thought of you

Every time I’m around you, I have butterflies fluttering in my stomach

I lose my thoughts, I can not think.

With every glance at you my cheeks turn pink

I stare into your eyes

And try to find some truth

To this question which I ask myself

In your eyes I see the truth

In your eyes I feel calmed

And I don’t know what to do

Cuz I think I love you

But in the end it will never work

In the end its all for naught

In the end

I see myself fall farther in your eyes

And I cant describe this feeling

Theres nothing else to say

So... I totally bombed my astronomy test... it was bad. But, my teacher said that it would get easier, and that I really had no reason to stress over it right now. I do wonder if this means I should take the optional final at the end, which wouldn't be too horrible if it wasn't comprehensive. If it's the only final I would have to take though, well other sociology which would be a breeze, then I might would do. But I suppose I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

The good news is that I made high A's on both my sociology and EMC tests, so at least I'm not totally retarded. And I'm doing well in astronomy lab. We did the planetarium lab today and it was awesome. If only all of astronomy was about looking at stars and naming constellations (which I seriously thought it was! Boy was I wrong!) And I have no idea what's happening in Tennessee History... he just lectures, so I take the best notes I possibly can and we'll see where that leads in the future! No idea when we're taking our first test, but we have a book review due in early October... so I need to read that it this weekend.

Anyhow... I have been unusually peaceful today about the astronomy, and I totally credit that to God. Wednesday night He really broke me and it gave me a whole new perspective on His control. It was... so eye-opening, and I feel like it's really changing me... like maybe I am finally learning how to not freak out... how to sit back and really abide in Him. That is something I have rarely mastered before.

Also in Amy's world, I think I'm going to get an iMac instead of the MacBook Pro. I can get a more beefed up (filled up with all sorts of memory and hard drive space), more powerful iMac for less money than the MacBook Pro I was looking at. The only disadvantage to this decision is that I no longer have portability as an option, but before when I was looking at the Pros, I had viewed the portibility more as a bonus than a necessity.

My birthday's next Wednesday! Yay! I love birthdays... And considering that I will probably order the Mac early next week (due to Wes's suggestion to wait for the next Apple Event) I will probably have it on or shortly after my birthday! Happy Birthday to me! And then that weekend I will be shooting and editing for my first college video project! Excitement!

Today is the ice cream cone's 103 birthday! Everyone should celebrate and eat an ice cream cone.

Ever been afraid that you wont have the same feelings that you once did...like you get so used to someone being there for you and you depend on them so much that you dont know what youd do if they left..... but your so dependent on them that you feel like maybe it would be better if they left for a while?  Like when you first met them you got butterflies in your stomach and you were so happy when the end of 5th period rolled around cuz then youd get to see that person but now since you see them everday like 3 or 4 times and you talk to them every night...that feeling of butterflies isnt there anymore but you still like them?

Ever been afraid that youll look fat in your senior pictures or that you wont have a date to prom?

Ever afraid that you dont have any true friends?  Like at Amy and Beckys graduation parties they had so many friends there and I was ok with that cuz I loved their friends and I hung out with all of them so I didnt need my own but now I look at it and I get so scared that I wont have friends at my graduation party...I have a really good friend but she goes to a different school and I hardly get to see her and like my best guy friend also goes to a differnt school and they have their own friends so who  do I end up with?  Wow that sounded stupid but I really dont care

Christi

oh my god....

pigout was great worked on spraying people hair...
it was annoy after...
cuz i am allgict(sp) to it...lol
and i am allgrict(sp)  to random things....lol
so yeah now i have a prablom with my thumb...
but over all i had fun doing it....
i also had a jones soda^^
so yeah and thats all i have to say

later

I work all night
For one more day that I can say I'm all alone
Alone
I just need time and I will say what I believe and I'll come home
Home

And all I know

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said
this is the world coming down on your head

As life flies by
I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this all again
Again
So line by line I write this down and I'm just trying to find the end
The end

And all I know

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said,
this is the world coming down on your head
You gave it to me I remember it read,
you've got the world coming down on your head
There's nothing to fight for it's already dead
and this is the world coming down on my head

When will it all end
One of you moves the others follow you

I never thought I would wake up in bed
watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never have said,
this is the world coming down on your head
I'm not gonna swallow the lie that I'm fed
cause I want the world coming down on my head
You're gonna find out you're already dead
and I was the world coming down on your head

You know how I was complaining the other day about the Muslims proving that they are peaceful by causing trouble?  I just read about how in Indonesia, Christian mobs are rioting and destroying Muslim businesses because of the execution of some Roman Catholic mob inciters.  It's so despicable that these people are trying to force their false religion onto others by rioting.  They should know that only Muslims know how to riot in the correct fashion.  Duh.

I'm sure most who read this post remember when Jesus said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by the Word of God" or something similar to that (it's been a while, okay?).  I've eaten tons of bread this semester...so far about four loaves of dry bread, plus many bagels, rolls, biscuits, and other assorted bread products.  Granted, I've eaten other things, but if you were to diagram my food pyramid, there would be a humongous base for the carbohydrates and a couple blocks floating in the air for the other groups.  So, yeah, I'm almost living by bread alone.  Apparently that's as close as one can get.  ;)

I watched an incredible movie the other night: The Miracle Match, starring Gerard Butler (hot!), Wes Bentley, and Patrick Stewart.  In one of my favorite scenes, a Roman Catholic man refers to a "voodoo" man's prayers as sacreligious.  The "voodoo" man, John, tells the Catholic man, Geno, that sacreligious means "against religion."  He tells Geno that what he is doing is not sacreligious just because it's a different religion.  So you see?  I am not heretical in my comments; I'm sacreligious.

I usually don't post things like this but I thought it looked fun!

Ok... I was reading the short news blurbs for mtsu when I cam across this;
Attempted Strong Arm Robbery:  Fairview Building South Parking Lot

On
September 20, 2006, at approximately 9:37 AM, a female student reported that an unknown white male, heavy set, with blonde hair, approximately 20 years of age, approached her in the Fairview Building south parking lot and demanded money.  Victim refused to surrender money and the suspect fled the scene.

So... I'm wondering; did they just not report on this well or am I missing something... He came demanded money without any sort of force, or incentive, no weapon, or threat, and then when she didn't just say oh ok sure... then he ran away? The picture just seems like it's missing something to me. Either that or we have a very callow robber running around campus.

So this weekend is gonna rock!  Steph and her friend B are visiting the
Boro, and we'll hang out, but I definately got off work at the last
minute which is awesome!  I can't wait to see that girl (Steph).


In other news, I saw a sweet mandolin on Wednesday night.  I have to
get me one of those.  It's money saving time.  Let me know if you know
of any good deals on them or no someone wanting to get rid of theirs.

For the past few weeks I have been working on my scrapbook of Paris.  It has been alot of fun and has brought back so many memories.  How I would love to go to Paris again.  Or maybe go back to Germany for a visit.  Maybe if we save our money for a few years the the family can go on a big vacation to Europe.

So I watched The Princess Bride the other day because it is one of my absolute favorites and I now think I know why. Maybe it's because it is a really cool love story/action flick/fairytale sort of thing. It's just a really great story about true love and adventure, I guess. Anyway here are some of the quotes that I really absolutely love.

"I told you I would always come for you. Why didn't you wait for me?" "Well... you were dead." "Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while." "I will never doubt again." "There will never be a need." ~The conversation when Buttercup realizes that the Dread Pirate Roberts is really Westley, who is alive. I think actually think this may be my favorite quote because I want a love like that.

"Hear this now: I will always come for you." "But how can you be sure?" "This is true love - you think this happens every day." ~The conversation when Westley is leaving Buttercup to seek his fortune so that he can marry her.

"That day, she was amazed to discover that when he was saying "As you wish", what he meant was, "I love you." And even more amazing was the day she realized she truly loved him back." The funny thing is that sometimes we can really be dense.

trail blaze tomorrow that means i get out early. ( :

Choir is discouraging.  College applications are discouraging.  I'm always tired.  And I'm always sad in the fall -  it's like a weird mild seasonal depression.

But on the plus side, I'm pretty sure we're going to get Poland for Model UN.  It made the final six and it's not a highly requested country.  I guess I can die happy now.  Pierogis!!  I'm totally bringing them!!

Quotes of the day-

"Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely!"- George Orwell

"Everything takes time, but what happens if time takes everything?"- Eli Genet

so yesssssss

the variety show is in less than a week

and we still don't have a soloist


and mrs.g is making me feel like a butthead having to ask off of work all the time

ok pretty sure the very first diagonal in the opener, um, yeah. if a person doesnt stop thinking she is right WHEN SHE ISNT then we are gonna look like shit AGAIN at the competitions. i hate when a person thinks they are awesome or perfect or a parent of theirs does. because if that was true i dont think the opening DIAGONAL would be messed up, now would it?

pretty sure mr waters didnt make two persons captain because they werent there this summer. thats because they were doing other things. like things that take hard work. things that certain others didnt and got to be captain only because they were the best of what was left, not of everybody. no i am not saying that they arent good captains, but some may be letting it go to their head when they have no right to think they are so great.

some people need to respect the captains more. and some people need to stop thinking they are all that bc they arent freshmen anymore.

i am not trying to be a bitch with all that, im merely trying to let this all out. i dont want any comments on it. not really anyone to read it either. but if i keep it private thats kinda dumb.

COMPETITION TOMORROW! [2 of em actually]

and im PUUUMPEDDD!

Hey everybody, I'm finally able to update. Sorry it's been so long. Football is one time consuming sport. Wish us luck on Friday night's game against Brentwood. We can do it. Go BHS!! 

like this [again]

or keep it long && just get a trim.

What a week ... I think the whole family ... including those in Florida and Tennessee ... have been through the ringer this week.  Hang in there loved ones .... we are survivors !!! More than conquerors !!!!

PALM HOUSE:  Owner says he's ready to sign the lease, we say we are ready to move, my company says ... step by step, still have to do the QA/QC inspection ...and then ~1 more week before lease signing ... and then we start moving towards a move-in date.... urrrggghhhh ... 2 months of this ... poor Decy and the girls .... we just want to get it over with.

FORTUNER:  Decy made the insurance payment yesterday.  Final payment is due Tuesday ... supposedly the car will be ready Tuesday or Wednesday with "final license plates" ... we shall see ... hope so.

WORK:  Overwhelming right now, can't keep up ... and transportation is limiting my ability to work overtime in the office.  I'll need to bring some stuff home for this weekend ... sadly.

.... sorry ... that's all I have to say at this time ...

Ciao ciao

Murfreesboro.........? where is this place? is it in the middle of no where?
im serious, i dont know where this place is...........it sounds like a boring place.........hahahaha borng place

I'm in the mood for Phantom of the Opera but I loaned it to a friend so he could burn a copy. Now I'm bummed.

 And now I'm not.  Today was Hat Day for Homecoming , I wore my brown fedora. Josh and Meagan kept calling me Ryan Bane, geez.

  We have our first Judgement practice tonight, I'm pretty excited. Going to go look for something to munch on for a while, or at least till supper's ready.

 so we FINALLY got moved into our dorm last night. we've already got like everything unpacked it's just getting situated. i've already started decorating. 

any guesses whose corner of the room this is?? lol

So my battle with the ever threatening flu that is goin around is over.  I was unfortunate enough to become sick on Tuesday and had to leave school early....much to my dismay, right before the all school photo. 
But I am almost fully recovered other than the fact that I am tired but at least I'm not sick any more.

"For the morning sun in all its glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
You fill my life with laughter
And somehow you make it better
Ease my troubles thats what you do
Theres a love thats divine
And its yours and its mine like the sun
And at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray
To the one, to the one"

I hope you guys take the time to read this, I put a lot of time into
it ;)
And who knows, I might just minister to you ;)

God is always worth of our
praise.

Now I know that we frequent
this statement in our Christian faith, but for some reason, as I came
across it tonight in Psalm 96:4, I was really compelled to find out,
“what exactly does that mean?”

Why should I give God
praise? What is it exactly that makes him always worthy of praise?

    Before one can delve into
this debate, one must first go to the source of things that we see as
worthy of praise in the first place, or in other words, things one
would declare “good.” Well, acknowledging the numerous scientific
discoveries that have nullified the possiblity of evolution, and
therefore accepting the only other alternative to existence, a Divine
Creator, we can almost instantly discover this source. For if there
was a divine creator that spoke all humanity into existence, more
specifically, a Creator that made us in His image, then every bit of
our natural understanding of what is “good,” comes from Him,
which in turn would mean that He, this Creator, is in fact our source
or standard of good ( or things worthy of praise ).

    So, with that stated, one
can see that things we see as “worthy of praise,” ( qualified for
verbal or physical actions of thanks )such as goodness, kindness,
love, sacrifice, purity, and the like, are all really just
reflections of the ultimate source of all things good: God. From here
it doesn't take much to understand why God is always worthy of
praise, because with the assumption that humanity's natural knowledge
of “the good” or “what is worthy to be praised” was placed
within us by God Himself, then everything that we see as “worthy of
praise” is thus declared so because it is the God given intuition
within us that leads us to such a conclusion. All of this ultimately
explains the statement “God is always worthy of praise,” because
well, if God is good, and if we have ingrained into us a natural
intuition to praise things reflective of His goodness, then obviously
God is “always worthy of praise,” because God is always good.

I think that when it comes to God, we like to forget that sovereignty means absolute authority and control.

I think that is an uncomfortable thought. Not only does that mean that God DOES let bad things happen (they COULDNT happen, in fact, without His allowing them to), it really does make a lot of other issues a lot weirder, especially the question of the doctrine of election, better known as predestination.

In a discussion on predestination, a question occurred to me. If election isnt true, if God doesnt already know precisely who will or wont be saved (which, Him knowing that means that it MUST happen, which could be seen as choosing), if that isnt in His hands, then God is NOT all-powerful and NOT all-knowing. We know that God is both of those things, right? I'm not saying that I'm absolutely right, but the logic is painfully and irritatingly obvious.

So what about free will? Simple answer is that I dont know. According to Psalms, every step of our life was written out by God before our birth. That means He knows every sin, every joy, every mistake, every single thing that we will do before we even think a coherent thought. Once He knows something, that is the way it is. There are no "what if" games with what God knows, no room for Him "knowing where each of our choices could lead." To be all-knowing, He MUST know every answer already. By Him knowing it, it MUST happen that way. That means that though we have free will, we have no choice at all and we dont even realize it.

As frustrating and ego bruising as that is, I find that I dont really care that much. More than He cares for us, Yhwh desires His own glory. If it is in His plan that He is glorified by my one path, then so be it.

Darned peculiar thought process. I'm reasonably certain I intended to be in bed almost an hour ago.

So I am updating in the hopes that Trent will also update his.  He never does and complain that I never do.  He is incorrect.

Anyway, today I got a new camera and it's really cool.  Ask me about it.  I love it! 

Classes are going ok.  Just really busy but that's what I love...right?  I have a quiz tomorrow that seems to be really easy but I'm sure it isn't going to be. 

Dr. T and I seem to be coming along on our paper.  I'm really excited about it because I'm a nerd.  The bad part is that I will mainly be presenting it at the conference.  Lucky me.

Okey dokey.  That seems to be all.

Oh, and I had a good time this past weekend with my parents.  They are always a good time.

So, I'm in the Honors colloquium about Tolkien.  And I'm finding it completely inappropriate.  Why, you may ask?  Oh, let me count the ways.

1. The course is entitled "Tolkien."  This leads me to believe that we will be viewing him holistically.  We have so far explored his Catholicism.  We have met four times (3 hr. each).
2. We were required to read 180 pp. of The Silmarillion for today.  We discussed three pp. of it.  All of it dealt with the theme of "how can there be freedom in submission?".
3. John Parker is in the class and says nothing but farkochte conditional statements while sucking up to Dr. Craven.
4. Robert Streeter pronounces Melkor "Melekor" and is an idiot.
5. Brian Baskette cannot make a point.
6. Dr. Craven: "You're using sociology to explain this.  Don't--I want to stay on philosophy."
7. My points have so far been pooh-poohed, one and all.
8. Dr. Craven has repeatedly degraded Protestantism and referred to it as "Sauron."  I find this inappropriate.
9. Dr. C asked Chloe Callis in class today if she intended to submit to her husband.  Again, inappropriate.
10. We had to read 40 pp. of Marian literature for the last class.  I did not sign up for a cathechism course.
11. The scope of this "interdisciplinary" colloquium is too narrow.  It is not titled "The Catholicism of J.R.R. Tolkien."  Something else must have influenced this man, and there must be more contextual information for LOTR than the sanctity of the BVM.  I feel as though I am being taught Dr. Craven's dissertation in exacting detail.

Basically, the whole thing feels like a really bad Cor meeting.  Think of me what you will, but I don't like to discuss the philosophy behind the nitty-gritty bits of religion; if I'm going to do philosophy, I prefer "what is lying" "is it right to..."  The annoying people who never advance the discussion, yet always seem to be talking, were even there.  I'm considering taking a W for this class instead of having to deal with it for 3 hours every week.  I'm busy, and have better things to do with my time.

hmm. what's been going on lately...
been practicing bassoon like crazy.
during luch, after school, on a pencil during class.
i need a life.
so another band comp this saturday.
that means even less sleep and more sunburn.

i can see your capillary veins.

you be the patient, i'll be the surgeon -
just like 1st grade on the playground.

(i am a pirate, you are a princess - playradioplay!)

im tired of my mom stressing me about finding a boyfriend.....i hate tests.....and i don't have an outlet.

leah

So i finally got my senior pictures done

have a look see

i dare say Beal's takes better pictures than Michael's

... (at least for public consumption) ... rode in the CrV to/from work yesterday.  Overall, pretty good ride and Pak Yono my new driver (the one Decy hired) is pretty good ... a bit cautious right now ... but given the car is new, he is new, and Jakarta traffice is ... (well, seeing is believing .. and Chris and Paul can see for themselves in December) ... all was fine.

CrV has this complicated new fangled DVD, CD, MP3, etal player ... and built in DVD movie monitor .. it will take some time to figure that puppy out.

RE the Palm House ... still waiting on the QA/QC inspection ... our hopes of moving in by end-Sept are fading fast ... perhaps 7-12 October ... rats !!!

Decy takes the next step on the Fortuner today ... and pays the insurance ... I think we are still on target for receiving that car next week ... hope so as our rental runs out next Friday ... and I really don't want to spend the money to extend the contract ($30/day)

ciao ciao

well guys, i don't think 2 comments can save this phusebox      

i'll have to think about it

Why does it always seem like it is easier to lose old friends than to keep them?  And an even better question is why is it harder to make friends than it is to make enemies?  Sometimes I think everything in this world is backwards.  I mean people judge others before ever even saying hello to them.  It's as if they decide at first glance whether they will become your friend or your foe, and quite frankly it sucks!  Maybe I am wrong about this.  Perhaps it is just my strange personality that causes people to jump to conclusions about me, but I just wish that people would stop judging me within the first few seconds of meeting me and actually take the time to get to know me before they make their decision.

This is going to be a great event, so come on out and see it.

22 1/2 hours is way too long to stay awake....uugghhh....

we can do better than saturday

you know that

lets just make practice what it needs to be to get the show ready for our 2nd and 3rd comps on saturday

pretty sure drum majors got section of the nigh tonight

!!!!!

I feel kind of awesome.

I saved 3 people's lives today.

How cool is that?  Just by laying down on a cot for 20 minutes and undergoing mild extremely mild pain and a little bit of light-headedness... You can extend the life span of three people.

I hate needles.  They freak me out.  I've always hated getting blood drawn.  But today it wasn't a big deal.  I just told David, the guy drawing my blood, to warn me when he pulled the needle out so I could look away.

(Thank you, Megan.  "HOLY CRAP THAT'S A BIG NEEDLE!")

I didn't see the needle, and I didn't watch while he stuck my arm or adjusted it so that it got into the vein okay, and after that everything was peachy.  It itched a little.  However, I decided that scratching the large needle that was currenty impaling one of my larger blood vessels was a bad idea.

That was one of the things that excited me about turning 17.  Getting to donate blood.  I just hadn't made the time to do it before.  From now on, I think I'm going to try to donate whenever I can.

It's too much to pass up by choice when doing a good deed is this easy.

What is beauty?

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. 

As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. 

Be yourself.  Especially do not feign affection. 

Neither be cynical about love- for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass...

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. 

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. 

Therefore be at peace with God...and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.” 

-Max Ehrmann

Okay... For those of you that didn't know there is a new family of four coming to the church and their dad is going to be the new misic minister and I'm glad because I like his music... Plus he has 2 kids... One of them is named Ashlea. She is 11 and in the sixth grade. The ohter kid Is named Benjamin or Ben. He's 15 and in the ninth grade... And, Ashlea, if your wondering how I know all this, my mom is the church secretary. She knows EVERYTHING! Anyway, they all sing (the whole family), their dad can play the piano, and their son can play guitar really well. The only reason I know is this is because they played on Sunday. Well I have to go but I was just letting you know... if you don't go to my church then this doesn't apply to you... BYE!!!

hahaha.

i can't give blood.

bet ya'll can guess why.

yep - "iron deficiency"

Since my Braves aren't in the playoffs this year. I was just curious to hear who you think will win it all. I'm really hoping Detroit wins it all. Go Tigers.

On Monday we received the CrV with temporary plates.  Decy and the driver went to the store to buy supplies for the car (for washing it etc) and were promptly "field arrested" ... seems the temporary plates aren't exactly acceptable .... after some smooth talking, throwing around a few high level names of friends at the police station ... it was agreed that for 150,000 Rupiah (approx US$18) Decy could be escorted back to the hotel instead of the police station where the discussions would have been in the 8,000,000 to 20,000,000 Rupiah range.

Cost:  $18 ... value of having friends in the right places ... PRICELESS.

Tuesday the car broker delivered the permanent plates ... and then later called about the final payment on the Fortuner ... Decy gave the car broker an earfull and advised that the final payment will be made when the Fortuner has permanent plates and not a moment before.  I think the payment will be next week ... we shall see

Today, Wednesday, I get to ride in the CrV to work ... he he he ....

As for the Palm House ... made it through the security inspection with only minor upgrades required ... now on the QA/QC inspection ... this is a very slow process !!! Looks like we will not get into the house by the end of Sept ... maybe 7th-10th of October .... all going well.

ciao ciao

i have to say something. it won't be a long something because it's way to pretty outside to be ranting on stupid phusebox. and before i say it, let me make it known that it has nothing to do with anything or anyone it may sound like it has to do with...not directly anyway.

all my life i've heard that guys should pursue girls. girls should sit and wait for the man that God has ordained for them. it is their responsibility and privilege to be the leader in a relationship. but let me say this- that leadership does not end when the relationship begins. that pursuit does not end when you get the girl. if you love her or at least have extremely strong feelings for her, that responsibility to make sure she knows she is cared for is yours for however long you are with her. maybe it's a risk because you don't know what will happen ultimately but you do know if you have those feelings for someone, and it is wrong and completely idiotic to disregard that position. it is wrong to sit on your butt and keep on doing whatever it is your doing if things are not right between you and her. it is your job to treasure her and recognize the love you have for her and get over her "emotions" and "drama" and GO GET HER and if you didn't learn that from your father then learn it now. it's going to save you a hell of a lot of heartache in the end.

So I go to give blood at the blood drive today... No biggy since I did it last year. Allthough that wasn't alltogether a great experience either. But It's typical I signed up and went into the little booth things that they set up to get your info before you give blood to make sure you're ok. So everything's great, I gave her my I.D. she asked where I lived, what my social security number was and my date of birth. She checked and then all the sudden she told me that my record said that I can't give blood and that she didn't know why because, for privacy issues, they don't tell her why. But she did give me a number that I could call. So I went to the office and called the number. This Indian Woman picks up and we start talking and she appologizes like twenty times and says that I can't give blood and I keep asking for the reason but she keeps appologizing and all the sudden I finally get it out of her and she says that my blood tested possitive for hepatitis C !!! So asked her if it was sexually transmitted cuz that wouldn't be possible and she said no, that it is usually transmitted through blood. But anyway, I asked what it did and if it was fatal and she said no, there are medications for it, but it will always be in my blood system! So I get kinda worried and then she comforted me by saying that the machines that are used to check this are really sensitive and that that's what the machine read but it might not be that way so I'm going to need to go to a doctor to get it confirmed but just pray for me! What I think it might be is that I took ACCUTANE like my eighth grade year, it is like the most powerfull Achne medicine that you can take, and it can effect my liver and they did several test to make sure that my liver was strong enought to where I could take it and Accutane doesn't leave your blood system so I'm thinking that may be what was traced instead of the accutual hepatitis. But for real! Be prayin for me!

Nothing very exciting has happened lately.  The Blood Drive was today.  No near as many ppl signed up this year as last.  I have a ton of make-up work due because I have so little time to do my homework during the soccer season.  For the most part last night was a pretty good game.  We played Riverdale, and they are really good and pass a lot.  We play Siegal on Thurs. @ 6:00.

God Bless!

ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ok...srry about that bored

megan

It's a perfect day outside today!!

And I have to work inside - a double shift.

Ok so last night at our freshman girls Bible study for RUF we talked about different churches around town.  There are about 12 Presbyterian churches around here and my friend, Anna P., is still looking for one.  She mentioned that at one church, which I visited also, they said something about your destination when you die already being set out for you.  Anna H. and I decided to discuss this issue further on the drive back to the dorm.  She said she has always been taught to believe that from the second you are born, God knows where you're going when you die.  While I believe that, I also believe that God put Christians on this Earth to save people who are 'destined' to go to Hell when they die.  Why else do we have missionaries and other people who devote their lives to saving people?  I was just curious to get some feedback from my friends on this subject because Anna and I have gone to the same church for 8 years and this has never come up before.  So, is your destiny already determined at birth or do you think you can change it? 

i mean seriously!! >:|

my grandfather has surgery tomorrow on a major nerve in his neck that has been giving him a lot of pain. i'm really nervous about this. they are putting him completely under...

Life has been busy as alway, now. I am finally getting the hang of this BNCO thing. Reeves Rogers was a blast. JROTC ran the MASH tent. All the little kids had a great time getting dressed up in sheets and fake blood. I was told once again that I will make a good father (wtf?!?!) but i just truly don't feel all that comfortable around little ones. I was also told once again that I will make a good husband some day... ice-cube chance in hell? I have not had time to actually do anything for just me in awhile but that is I guess okay considering it keeps me busy anyways. This weekend I have to basically house sit with an old air force pilot so I think that might be fun....

Finally, JROTC is selling candles. Yes, candles and you all must by them from me! I have bet that if I can sell more candles than my entire class they will have to do PT from hell, but if I loose..... I have to dress up like a girl make-up and all for the whole day.... Yeah.... SSOOoo, keep Michael out of a dress and buy some great smelling candles!!!!

P.S. for those who think I have to see thing, I do not look sexy in a dress... or make-up... and I am sure there will be lots of pictures if it does happen.... BUT IT WON'T CAUSE I GOT A SECRET WEAPON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

iMacs vs. MacBookPros...

So if you had the money for a Pro, but were cheap (no... let's say frugal...) and thus considering the iMac, which would you go for? The mobility of a laptop is really nice and would be hard to give up, but considering that this computer will be exclusively for video editing, what is most important is memory capacity and all that jazz... which I honestly don't know enough about! So if y'all have any advice about which computer may actually be a better deal that would be fabulous! Thanks!

P.S. to everyone: Please hold a prayer vigil for my astronomy test on Wednesday... Stars are more complicated than you would think, especially when your scientific intelligence level is extremely low... There is a reason for my ten point difference between my English ACT score and my science ACT score...

I'm absolutely in love with this month. September has been wonderful. School is going well. I'm making good grades. I'm getting a lot of hours in at work which means more money. The weather is absolutely beautiful...especially at night when the air feels crisp and it's perfect hot chocolate weather. I love to sit outside on my porch or deck and do homework or study by candlelight.

Life is going really well. I'll get occasionally stressed out and want to freak but I'm handling it because I have wonderful people in my life. In the end I know everything will be okay. It's just hanging on in the process.

Life is good. I pray it stays this way. I'm enjoying myself.

"Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you...
And the way you look tonight."

well i have a minor, after much deliberation.. insert drum roll here...... WRITING! im goin to take writing classes one of which bein an intership class with a company in the boro and really put to use my writing skills which only few of you knew that i possessed! mwahaha im so happy about it! for the first time in a really long time i feel like im doin what im supposed to be doin and it feels awesome! i love u guys, wont see u on wednesday, work beckons again... le sigh

is UT knoxville really as crowed as I've heard? 

Who has a big freakin' caffine (or lack thereof) headache?

I'll give you a hint.  Her name starts with S and she's sitting in Tyson's office waiting for her dad to finish up his work.

I'll gitve you another hint.  It's me.

On the upswing, I made a 100 on my weekend Calculus quiz... *cough*
And I think I may have done quite well on the test we took today.

free response + no implicit diffrentiation = HOORAY!

Now, because I am bored: A commentary on Tyson's office.

There is the "I <3 Indy" wall that has two full size movie posters, as well as nine smaller posters.  Then there is the "I <3 Star Wars" wall that has two full size movie posters, seven smaller images taken from the books, I think.  Then on the very side of that wall, a full size movie poster for Army of Darkness, autographed by Bruce Campbell, has snuck in.  As well as classic car calendar and a small Dark Side of the Rainbow poster.

The door is probably the best part.  Because, in good no-one-ever-comes-back-to-this-part-of-the-building fashion, it is covered with Toothpaste for Dinner, Red Meat, and Dilbert comics - all held up by scotch tape and magnets shaped like pin-up girls and the covers of naughty dime-store novels.

Wow, Tyson likes Harrison Ford.  Like, way hard.  In fact, standing in the corner of the office behind me is a large cardboard cut-out of Han Solo dressed as a storm trooper.  My dad and I gave it to him for Christmas to match the large cardboard cut-out of Indiana Jones that's in the other corner behind the door.  He has more pictures of Harrisson Ford that of Klara, his girlfriend.  Let's see what the score is.

Klara: 5

Harrison: 16

I think it's obvious who he loves more.

Anyways.  Boredom is giving way to pure hoplessness.  Time for me to go.

but I just love him! 

This is Alden at the springs yesterday.  His daddy was painting.  I was supposed to be studying, but, well, you can see what I was doing!

it's been a really long time since i've been on here. wow. well, that's really it cuz i have dance in a couple minutes. yeah, so...... yeah..

SO we came in second by .7 points!!!!

the new chilangos mexican restraunt is now open. all welcome
wonderful food and hence i quote kayla hale" their cheesedip is the best ever" just a few of the many who love our restraunt.

for directions its right next to the food lion by oakland.

Well I havent made an entry in forever so im making one =p

ok, there are some people out there that need to hear this.

YOU CANNOT SAY "COULD OF."

or "would of," or "should of," for that matter.

in spoken english it might SOUND like that's what you are saying . . .

BUT IT'S NOT.

you are saying "COULD'VE."

as in, "i could've killed you for writing 'could of.'"

or perhaps, "i should've killed you for writing 'should of.'"

you could have done something, you could not of done something.

the preposition of is NOT a helping VERB.

you would know that if you would've paid attention in 3rd grade english.

. . .

and while i'm at it, y'all is spelled y-'-a-l-l.

SO STOP WRITING Y-A-'-L-L,

because that doesn't make any sense either.

. . .

i think that's it for now. come on, people, let's write correctly.

Finally my temporary page is up and running, check it out
and leave me a comment using my comment page..

Hey there... If you got to pick one thing you could of known in Jr. High what would it be????

This makes me happy!!

'Pirates 3’ will end trilogy but not sequel
Posted on
Sunday, September 17, 2006 (EST)

London, Sept 17: There’s a bit of good news for Pirates of the Caribbean fans all over the world.

Disney head honchos have revealed that though the third
‘Pirates’ film will conclude the trilogy, it was “unlikely” that it
will be the last sequel of the mega-hit movie.

Mark Zoradi, president of the Disney Motion Pictures Group said
that the eagerly awaited third movie may not be the last Pirates film.

"The third film... will conclude the initial Pirates trilogy,
though it is unlikely to be the last Pirates sequel," the Daily Mail
quoted him, as saying.

With the second movie in the series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,
become the third film to passing the 1 billion dollar mark at the
worldwide box office, bosses have decided to globally release the third
and final flick in the series on 25 May 2007, rather than a gradual
worldwide release. (ANI)

October 6, Norma Jean, Between the Buried and Me, Fear Before the March of Flames, Misery Signals play at Rocketown.

Stole that from a song I listened to a few days ago...that's not the entire line, but I didn't want a really long title.  I just feel great today; everything seems to be going well so far.  There's always music playing in the background of my head - today's songs are all upbeat and optimistic.  This is a very non-Jonathan day.

Anyway, I'm going to complain about the whole Pope/Muslim thing now.  As many who know me know, I think that people in general are stupid.  This opinion is supported by the actions being taken in response to what the Pope said in his speech.  Here is a sample dialogue:

Extremist Muslim 1: "Did you hear what the Pope said?  He said Muslims are evil and violent people!"
Extremist Muslim 2: "No!  He should not have said that!"
Me: "He was quoting someone else.  Maybe we should let it slide?"
Extremist Muslim 1: "Never!  He must know we're not violent or evil!"
Extremist Muslim 2: "Of course!  Let us burn statues of him and promise death and vengeance on him and the West!"

Seriously...where is the logic in this stuff?  It's kind of like this other dialogue:

Extremist Christian 1: "Jesus said we're supposed to love everyone."
Extremist Christian 2: "Yes, we should.  Don't you just hate those queers, though?  Living in sin.  They're all going to hell."
Me: "But shouldn't we love them anyway?  I mean, that's kind of what Jesus said..."
Extremist Christian 1: "No, that's not what he meant."
Extremist Christian 2: "Yeah, we love them by letting them know they're going to hell and not letting them near us.  It's the only way."

So yeah, stupid people irritate me.  I also kind of enjoy making up dialogues:

Stupid Non-Christian: "The DaVinci code disproves Christianity!"
Stupid Christian: "No!  It's evil lies!  Dan Brown is the devil!"
Me: "Actually, he says that the book is fiction.  It doesn't prove or disprove anything."
Stupic Non-Christian: "That's just what the Christians want you to think!  He is a prophet of the God that's not there!  Ha!  Beat that!"
Stupid Christian: "A prophet of SATAN, perhaps!"

*le sigh*

But I'm still happy today!  Hoorah!

So today I did my first field experience for the SEED/FOED class.  My time slot will be from 9-10, which isn't bad.  It's not what I would have preferred,  but it does make many things easier.  I don't have to stress as much about getting Daniel to daycare and then hurrying over to the high school, as I have more time to drop him off, probably around 8:30ish.  (Lucky little boy - if my observation started at 8, he had to be at daycare around 7:30) 

The field experience isn't entirely fun.  As the title states, I believe I was attacked by midgets in the hallway.  There are large groups of shoulder-high sullen kids who seems to have no concept of the words "Excuse me" and feel no need to watch where they're going.  They're small, so I'm sure that I could shove back, but I think it might be unacceptable behavior to send little Timmy or little Susie flying, even if they do deserve it.  I do have the advantage of height at least.  Two of the other girls in my class are very short, and one of them got bounced around more than I did when walking down the hall in between classes.

I'm observing a French 2 class taught by Mrs. Presley.  I'm please with this, as Mrs. Presley is very nice.  Her class is also entertaining.  I think it will be an interesting experience, and I should actually learn a lot.  Apparently, there's a list of stuff we have to do for the class, including making seating charts and grading tests, but I haven't been given the list.  I imagine I will receive it tomorrow.

Daniel has had a rough week or so.  He hasn't been feeling his best as his nose has been very stuffy.  I think he's having allergy problems, same as his mommy.  Then the poor little guy had to get vaccinations on Thursday.  Thursday night he woke up with croup, and the doctor gave him a cortisone shot on Friday to help with that.  He seemed to feel pretty bad all weekend long, too.  Hopefully he'll get to feeling better soon.  As we all know, if he's not happy, he sees to it that no one else is either.

 I love this one.
I think this something many of us think at times.
 Sometimes I feel this way
.I felt this way for a long time.
Good question.
 This was one of my favorites.

Can anyone win the entire championship in Kick Off on addictinggames.com. Because I've been palying for ever and can only get past the second round.

This morning About 4:00 are I had to go to the E.R with me
dad. I had very sharp pains, and my back was hurting. When we got there was
this nurse that tried to find somewhere to draw blood it took her about 3-5
pokes and after that I gad to get a cat scan they said that the CAT / CT scan
went well, and they didn't see anything wrong with me. So I’m out of school until
Friday which is kind of like a double edged sword because it's homecoming week
the so The E.R. said it was between a kidney, gall bladder, or major stomach
virus..... I can’t eat any solids for 24 hours and no spicy, dairy, or anything
of that nature. And that’s how life’s going right now…
