Sunday, 9:30 PM, Bluesboro, 18-21 $8, 21+ $5, I'll be playing with Damascus Road in the battle of the bands.

I totally love new york!

I saw lots of horn players walking around on the street, randomly, it was funny. I saw the julliard school (I want to go there now) and the lincoln center (we watched the ballet and gay men's chorus rehearse) and WICKED!!!!

Yeah, it was fun...for pictures and more of what I did, e-mail me or something.

We will be bowling tonight  at 800pm at the one in m'boro c yall there!

  i've been disappointed by two different guys in the past 24 hours.  

  i'm feeling a little crushed right now. 

So I went back to the doctor today because I still feel as lousy as everything. Most of the food poisoning is almost gone, but now I have pancreatitis. And what do you know, that's worse than having the food poisoning! I'm so tired of being sick, and yet it looks like the earliest I can expect to be off all this medicine is the end of summer or first few weeks of college. But it is possible that I should haved the energy to have a life and do something within a week. That'll be nice!

Allrighty now.

So lately, I've been thinking about making the heroes look different in hero-form than they do in human-form. As you can see in the Jessica picture, which I put up a while back, they look different.

But recently, I looked at some senior pics I was given, and decided to try to draw the person close to how they actually look.

My friend Malory's picture was the one I chose to do first, since I had already made her into a hero a LONG time back. So first, here is the picture she gave me:

And here is the drawing:

And here is Both:

I actually surprised myself with this, because last time I tried to draw someone and make it look like their real picture, the lips were too big, and the hair wasn't right, and the nose was flared and blahblah etc.

I wasn't that difficult to draw, but there isn't really a way that I can make ALL the heroes look like their actually person. So, this may be a one-time deal.

So there ya have it, more pictures by Danny.

Well, I can finally say it...good-bye to the Old Fort Wal-Mart...This comes as a result of numerous reasons...

Reason 1: I'm moving to West Nashville July 28 and want my transfer to be as seamless as possible and it is hard to move and start in a new place at the same time.

Reason B: Read the previous post

Reason III: In the last 2 posts I spoke of some huge news, so because this event has finally taken place, I can reveal it (and confirm everyone's suspecisions if you've already figured out...i.e. seen my Facebook). I have to leave because as an hourly manager it is against policy to date someone you have direct/indirect supervision of (can you tell who read the policy looking for loopholes), and for 3 weeks now I have been dating one of the cashiers there...her name is Lacey (see the "I'm having a baby post")...After years of searching I finally found someone and all it took was a 5.5 hour trip to steak n shake.

Thus this is part 1 of a 2 part farewell post.  Next month I shall be saying farewell to Murfreesboro...the place I called home for the past 4 years. So many memories (good and bad) and so many friends that I have already lost touch with...maybe I can throw a small social gathering at the new place after I get settled.  I'm moving on to no roommate (unless you count my cat) and being my sole provider.  No more money from Mom and Dad (which was never much because I never asked) and some huge debts to pay off (i.e. the $3600 bedroom funiture).  Anyone who wants/needs the new address can hit me up for it and be watching as the cell phone should be changing from 678 to 615 in the next 2 months (basically whenever I feel like it).  In leaving this wal-mart i will admit that i have created some bonds and will miss people but i will always be back (my girlfriend works there).  until next time

-Daniel

i went and got my senior pictures taken yesterday.

hm...new pictures...

that's about all that's happened...
haha...

Well, I was driving the other day and saw a sign that said "free kittens" and I thought to myself, "man, that would be fun to go get one of those and take it home (mom won't know b/c she is out of town till tuesday)." But I didn't. Well, when I got home, I discovered Staley had decided to take up on that offer and brought home a little black kitty. We haven't named it yet, but we think its a girl (we aren't positive). I haven't owned a cat in quite a while. The last one I had was a calico named callie, but I wanted to name it satan, b/c that's how much a hated that gay cat. Anyway, if u have a name suggestion, let me know. I will be camping at fall creek falls untill saturday, and I should be home saturday evening. If u call me I may not answer cuz i'll be fishing baby!!!!!


My new kitty.

So I am currently sitting on the floor in my living room, feeling rather like a poor college student in their first apartment.  You know that feeling - when you have no furniture whatsoever.  All of the furniture for the living room has been moved into the kitchen and the study because the carpet guy is FINALLY supposed to come today, and all of the furniture had to be moved out of the living room for him to fix the carpet.

Josh and I want to get life insurance.  To get the preferred rate, I must weigh less than a certain amount.  I weigh 2 pounds more than that certain amount.  I figured it would be easy to drop those two pounds and a few more, but NO.  I've been eating less.  I've been exercising.  Every day Daniel and I go for at least one walk, which is 3/4 of a mile; usually we go twice.  Now, if eating less and walking 1 1/2 miles a day doesn't make me lose two measly little pounds, what will?  Advice, anyone?  (Current mood:  defeated and cranky.)

I was asked to give my view on waiting for the hubby to come home at the end of the day.  For one, it's hard!  I got so used to seeing Josh all through the day that it's very strange to be separated from him for so long.  To be honest, I'm very lonely most of the time.  I love Daniel, but let's face it - sometimes, I want the company of someone who A) can speak and B) won't spit on me with alarming frequency.  Most of my friends have graduated and with very few exceptions, the people that are still here, I'm not very close to.  I have little to nothing in common with any of them, and thus, I am very lonely.  Having Josh home certainly kept that from happening, so this has been an adjustment.  Hopefully this fall I can get involved in the group my church is starting for mothers with young children.  I've digressed.  Back to Josh - I'm very proud of him and I love it when he gets home.  It makes me feel all cared for that he goes to work and works hard all day.  It's hard though, because he tells me about his day and I don't understand much of what he's talking about and telling him about my day takes all of 2 minutes because nothing of real interest happens here.  To sum it up:  I'm happy Josh is working because I know he enjoys the mental stimulation, the company, and doing something for his family.  I'm also sad because I miss spending so much time with him and I'm rather lonely here.  It's a mixed bag, but I know that I need to get used to it as he'll be working most of the next 45 years and this is a great opportunity for him.  I hope that answered your question.  

first round of post cards went out today.

still not too late . . .

    Well if you haven't noticed I haven't been updating as much.  It's not because I don't want to it's because I've had so pretty bad stuff happen lately.
    My great grandmother, as most of you already know, pasted away.  She was ready to go and I knew she was.  I was planning on going to the drive-in movie on Monday night when we got a call saying that we had to go down for the visitation, so I didn't get to go to the movies.  I cried a lot but that was going to happen.  I was realy close to her.
    Then, I'm kind of sick over all that!  I haven't got my voice back fully from camp.  My head is all nasty!  Like, I have a headache all the time and my nose is running or it's stuffed up all the time.  Yeah, it totally stinks.  I'm going to go crazy if this doesn't clear up soon.
    Finally, my dad and my boyfriend are going camping with the Royal Rangers tonight and Saturday morning.  I think that it would be fun, but I don't know why my dad asked my boyfriend to go.  Well, he didn't ask him like, "Hey!  Do you want tol go camping with the Royal Rangers Friday and Saturday??"  No, it wasn't like that.  They were painting the church and Brantley said how much he loved to go camping (don't really know how they got on that subject).  Anyways, my dad said, "Well, if you love camping so much why don't you go with the Royal Rangers?"  Yeah, not the best thing to happen to me.  I know that my dad likes him and everything, but I don't think Brantley thinks that.
     Well, this is really all that's happened to me that I fell that I should put on here.  So, I'm going to go

phusebox should know that i miss kelly.

I got a haircut today.

I enlisted.

I'm taking requests on how to style my hair. 


::b

*Edit*

Ah, Hunter. The one whom I was counting on would not read my post and expose my shortcomings.  Tis true that I in fact did not enlist in what most people preconceive as anything associated with the United States government, however in his attempt to brutally discredit me, he revealed the truth.  I have in fact joined the KISS Army, which I also know nothing about except for the fact that their slogan is a cheesy knockoff of the U.S. Army's in that it states this: "An Army of Tongue".  See, I meant cheesy.  But I must point out that I never explicitly said "armed forces", and in this instance, Hunter drew his own conclusions.  In fact, upon further meditation and investigation, I have decided to be most dis-honorably discharged from the KISS Army and rouse up a rebel force with a single, decided goal: to destroy the KISS Army.  And with that, I leave open my remark box as an enlistment notification service to all those who want to join an armed force that will strive for the common good.  The other two things are true though, however hair styling is going to be a bit difficult.

i just started doodling, and i came up with this tombstone. it's about the most colorful i've done, but i like it.

haha, this has to do with my username glockmemoirs. this badly drawn scribble is based off a glock. i'd say, for my first time scribbling a gun, it's pretty darn good.

i think this cat scribble is adorable, but that's just me. the eyes took f o r e v e r, though, because i couldn't get the scribble outline to be, well, circle shaped.

yeah, it's the above picture, but you know that's what all cats think. they come up to you looking all sweet and purring and 'love me!', but you know all they're thinking about is biting your appendages and saying 'rawr.'  you know it's true.

my jaw keeps popping out of place. whatthefxupwiththat? and my wrist hurts like whoa. not that i'm complaining. it's nice to know i'm really alive and this isn't a nightmare.

i caught a northern pike today, not that you guys know what that is or even care

last night me and erin sat and talked about band and next year for about 3 hours

i think i should lead a OHS band revolution and make it into what everyone wants it to be cause we could do it

im head dm wow i still cant accept that i am marching band god (as waters like to call the DM) i cant imagine that i will be on the podium at every practice. iv wanted to be a dm since i was in the 6th grade and went to a competition with danielle. iv finally gotten to where i wanted to be and i still cant believe it. it makes me want to burst with excitement.(which i will probabbly do upon occasion) one hting that i want for myself is to be more than a conductor for the band. i want to be a LEADER. i want to be someone who is worthy of the respect of my classmates, and i want to help my band become everything that it can be..... * stops self*

i have to stop there or it willnever end

i miss you all al whole lot (especially my calvary kids)

I went paintballing yesterday with my youth group and had a blast.  That's me in the title and Tim was my rental gun.  I named Tim after the wizard in Monty Python and the Holy Grail who blows things up and at one point turns a stick into a flamethrower for no apparent reason.  However, Tim caused much less destruction than I had anticipated, and the first few games ended with me getting shot without ever, technically, shooting anything other than random objects.  During about the fourth game (paintball related neck injuries prevented me from keeping count accurately), I got a wide open look at Courtney Walkup.  Being the chivalrous gentleman that I am, I hesitated for a full three nanoseconds before opening fire and scoring my first hit.  Tim wreaked some more havoc during a game where the players could regenerate, but unfortunately I mistook five of the best enemy players for persons on my team, resulting in a large amount of what can only be described as "pain".  Tim shortly thereafter ran out of ammunition, and I ended the game in disgrace.  Tim and I held our own and got a couple more hits, but nothing much of note happened until the last game.  The plan for the last game was to just play until we all ran out of paintballs.  Fortunately, Tim and I had recently stocked up, so I decided to go up in a tower and shoot like a maniac and forget about hiding since getting hit wouldn't put me out.  There were a lot of people in a building across from me on both stories, but I could see Courtney really well through the bottom right window.  I took a moment to reflect upon the fact that since her brother is an excellent paintball player and had been doing his best to shoot her as much as possible, and I had already shot her once, plus this was just a game to get rid of excess paintballs, so there was really no need for me to shoot her again.  Instead, I decided to try and cheer her up with my Rambo impression, during which I, totally accidentally, shot her twice.  Then I was on a roll and shot one of the snipers on the other roof while his shots whizzed harmlessly by me, just standing there.  I also shot Buck in the bottom left window, and he decided to remedy his poor position by moving a good fifteen feet back from the window opening.  This set the stage for Tim's finest hour.  I squared up, took careful aim, and shot just to the left of the window.  In order to be symmetric, I  placed my next shot just to the right of the window.  My third shot sailed straight through the center of the window, flew all the way back, and hit Buck square in the leg.  The beauty of that sight was at least three times that of the Sistine Chapel, and I firmly believe that if I had a video of that shot it would get placed in the Louvre Museum.  After that most everyone ran out of paintballs and Tim and I just reveled in the glory until the end.  You have probably guessed that since the last game was the only game in which getting shot would not have negatively affected me at all, it was also the only game in which I did not get shot.  But that's okay.  Unlike most sports legends, Tim and I retired at the top of our game.  We really are the greatest heroes in history.

 Why is it ... that you can't buy a one day ticket to Bonnaroo??? Someone??  a;fjk;iejfieofja.. I just want to see Damian Marley damnit.

              oh man oh mna ... I havent written in here in ahile .. yeah.. well you know how it is.. you start doing this and then you get doing that and before you know it .. its going over there and you just dont know what happened...Yeah well .. ya know.

Sippin on some sizrup sip sip sippin on some sip.  yeah .. ya know.

Golly gee, summer's come and taken my favorite hobby away. Can't procrastinate if you've got nothing to do.

I've been job applying like crazy.  This week I've hit McAllister's, Bi-Lo, Food Lion, Victoria's Secret, and Blue Coast Burrito.  I've picked up an application for The Cookie Store at the mall, and I should be able to turn it in in the next couple of days.

When extreme boredom seeps in, I can usually be found at the mall in search of coffee that doesn't taste like dirt or looking at way-too-expensive things that wouldn't fit me anyways.

Any other low-budget entertainment ideas?  Until I gets me a job, I've got nothing to do.

I did get to go tongue ring shopping today, finally replaced my metal industrial bar with a reasonably sized barbell.  I got a short metal bar with sparkly clearish-purple plastic beads and a retainer with an even shorter bar and flat flesh-colored beads.

Isn't that just exhilirating?

This week has been a gift from God.

There is no doubt in my mind.

well.

being seventeen is kinda boring.

scratch that.

being seventeen in murfreesboro is kinda boring.

i really really really want a tattoo!!! aaah! i want the word hope on my wrist...BUT, i dont think i've been able to find a correct translation for hope as a noun. (1 Peter 3:15 ...Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have...)

i found one but it simply translates to "hope" as in "i hope"

but i want the translation for "the hope" so, if anyone knows of anyone who writes hebrew that would be a great

sitting around a fire, catfishin, bass fishin, roastin doggys, burpin, fartin, laughin ur butt off, bein attacked by a raccoon but everyone thinks its a bear, bible study, fellowship, its the weekend of men.  time to go CAMPING!!!!!!!

Ya.

So I woke up at 8am and ate food and showered and stuff by 9.Then I hung around until about 10:30, at which time I went to my friends house.

He had already had two shots of Tequila and 3 beers. NOT SMART! He drank 6 more and we finally got him to stop and started walking him around to get him sober. I was tryin to keep him away from doorbells, porto-potties, and trash cans (all of which he wanted to mess with) and spent the next 3-4 hours pickin him up and pushin him past trouble. He then drank 6 more beers because his buzz was gone and he was feeling bad. This takes us to the total of his 15 beers. I was tryin to be a good friend and stop him, but it took his sister to finally stop it. Last I heard, he was in the bathroom, stripped down, sleeping, crouched over the toilet. He had his fun, but now lets see how fun it is! Right?

I then just went and played flashlight tag with a bunch of little kids. Good way to spend an hour.

Oh yea! I got a date tomorrow. Lol. Wish me luck.

<JacoB>

As mentioned, we are in the process of moving from Angola to Indonesia.  I am (once again) frustrated with the process.  As has been the practice for 20 years, I am being asked to make key decisions for my family and me based on little or no information.

Cases in point:

I have been advised my move was approved, but have never been actually offered the position.

I have been advised my work permit will be ready by end-June, but I have not been told how much I will earn.

I have been told to schedule my travel from Angola to Indonesia, but have not been advised if I am supposed to go through Houston (east to west route) or through South Africa (west to east route) ... the difference is only about $30,000.

I have been told to prepare my lists of things I am shipping and putting in storage, but haven't been told what my housing arrangements will be.

I have been told to work the school enrollment for Chely and Thasya, but I don't know where in the city of 20 million we will live.

.... and yet, after all this ... I will be expected to show up (a) on time, (b) fully complying with all policies, (c) ready to begin work on day-1, and (d) smiling and productive.

And, oh yeah, I will probably need to buy two cars when I get there, but nobody will tell me if I am entitled to company assistance on one or two .....

.... urgh .....

... life goes on ... TGIF !!!!

I"m taking guitar lessons from a reluctant man named Ross--no telling where that will lead, if anywhere. 
I need to get together with people and play guitar.

I don't why I keep this site up: I hardly ever use it.  Perhaps, it's for boredom's sake, or to see how my writing skills have degraded.  That's another thing I need to do--write.

God, my life sucks....

my favorite song:

Sarah Beth is scared to death
To hear what the doctor will say
She hasn't been well
Since the day that she fell
And the bruise, just won't go away
So she sits and she waits with her mother and dad
Flips through an old magazine
Till a the nurse with a smile
Stands at the door
And says will you please come with me

Sarah Beth is scared to death
Cause the doctor just told her the news
Between the red cells and white
Something's not right
But we're gonna take care of you

Six chances in ten it won't come back again
With the therapy were gonna try
It's just been approved
It's the strongest there is
I think we caught it in time

Sarah Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love is holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Sarah Beth is scared to death
As she sits holding her mom
Cause it would be a mistake
For someone to take
A girl with no hair to the prom

For, just this morning right there on her pillow
Was the cruelest of any surprise
And she cried when she gathered it all in her hands
The proof that she couldn't deny

Sarah Beth closes her eyes
And she dreams she's dancing
Around and around without any cares
And her very first love was holding her close
And the soft wind is blowing her hair

Its quarter to seven
That boys at the door
And her daddy ushers him in
And when he takes off his cap
They all start to cry
Cause this mornin where his hair had been
Softly she touches just skin

And they go dancin
Around and around without any cares
And her very first true love is holding her close
And for a moment she isn't scared

im so tired!!!

im working so much that i don't have time for anything. i've got two jobs and its working nicely but i can't go to the lake that much because me and amanda work diff schedules... so whenever we coordinate its good.

i can't wait to go camping!!! oh gosh! whoo hoo!

love life: eh... i don't really want to get into it. its complicated.

what i want for my birthday is a personal massues and a new car. preferably tall, dark and handsome with big hands... and a hard top Jeep Wrangler. (:

i bough new glasses made by versace. oooh ahh. haha yeah cost me $367 AND 48 cents with insurance.. and they couldn't make them in the store because my perscription is so strong thy don't carry it in stock so i have to wait about 2 weeks, if that..

so i bought a new cd: The Fray-- I FRICKIN LOVE IT. gosh. its a great cd. i pretty much know it by heart. lol.

so i got my car fixed, everything is good, got my shock done. driving great whatever, well toby called me into the back of the shop and showed me the cv axles on my truck and how the front passenger side is missing a boot meaning, i need a complete new one... UGH!! everytime i frickin turn around i have to FIX something. eh. who cares. i'll just get more money off of it.

now i think its time for that hot steamy shower... that i will most likely fall asleep in.. (:

Shoo Boii.

i am showing Mr. Amarian how google indexing works, so i'm going to promo my own site

ok. so. yet another thought for the day:

all Baptists are not bigots. it really stirs my apples that the only baptists that you see in the news and such are the ones who picket funerals with signs that say things like "God Hates Fags" or "Thank God for 9/11" and other stupid garbage like it. first of all, they are not even real Christians, because none of that is true about God, and secondly, they are a very small sect, not the majority. anyways, any thoughts? i hope you guys don't see me that way, and i want all of you to know, that despite anything you say or do, i don't hate any of you. i may not agree, but it's not like i'm gonna hold that against you. and i'd appreciate it if that same courtesy were shown to me. it seems to me that the so-called "open-minded" are open-minded to everything but Christianity and/or conservative beliefs. so, if you're gonna be so open-minded, make sure you're open-minded to everyone...much love to you all ----Cari

Camping...if you told me we were going this time last year would have said "Great it Should be fun!"...this year not so sure...

k so i agree with kimber on this one.  this site is absolutly amazing.  it sloganizes names.

www.thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi

its amazing. 

the one in the title is one of them.  heres some more

"do the beth"

"the coolest beth on ice"

"its the bright one, its the right one, thats beth"

"we dont make beth. we make beth better"

"strong and beautiful, just like beth"

"everything we do is driven by beth"

http://www.thesurrealist.co.uk/slogan.cgi?word=doom

so yes i was bored and found this on myspace
it was too much fun to contain in one blog so i brought it to the most amazing phusebox and now i will tell you what to do

on the waebsite you will find a box with word typed next to it
insrt your name there
then click sloganize.......
and you can entertainyourself for hours......
maybe not hours

 but at least for a while

So I think boredom is about to take over my life!

  only about a week before i go to new york to hang out with only the coolest kids ever!  
  and then it's off to nyc!  
  damn.  
  i love that place. 

For those of you who have heard me complain about the price of housing here, you can now understand why!

According to USA Today, houses in the Houston area are 15% undervalued. This same report also credits homes in the Nashville area to be valued correctly. So when you live in an area where houses are "undervalued" for eight years, it really does seem ridiculous when you move to an area where you have to pay $120,000 for a house that looks like a trailer park home stuck to the ground. Obviously, I still don't think that homes in this town are valued correctly, but like I said, the area I lived in previously was different. I also don't know how USA Today set the standard for what the value of a home should be.

By the way, in case you missed it the first time:

{{I'm actually not pissed at anyone, just annoyed at the general idiocy which insisted on presenting itself this afternoon.  Annoyance is better karma than anger.}}

"My little baby's all grown up and saving China!"

Okay, so he's not quite THAT big yet.  I just got home from picking up Daniel from his first day at Mother's Day Out.  He's taking a nap now - the little tike's exhausted!  He apparently had a great day and played the entire time and had a lot of fun.  He did not cry when I left him, although I did.  (I was done by the time I made it to the grocery store.)  Shopping was certainly A LOT easier without him, I got lots of oh so fun chores done, and it was amazingly quiet at my house.  (By the way, I still hate mopping floors more than any other chore.  It is, however, easier to clean floors without a little one about.)  I even got all of the prep work for dinner done.  All I have to do is toss it all into a pan together and boil some noodles.  The baby had fun, and I actually accomplished things.  All in all, I'd say Mother's Day Out was a smashing success today.   Here's hoping it will go so well every week.

Well, nothing is really going wrong in my life.  I just thought that my world was ending.  I think that my life is going GREAT right now.  I love it!!!  Everyone seems to be talking to me that needs to talk to me.  I have a boyfriend and he's amazing!!  I just love him to death!!!  Well anyways... I guess that I was a little under stress so yeah that might have been the problem.

give my ego a pet there, will you? (i was going to say 'stroke', but then i was like... my friends... oh shizzzt.) i = lack of proper grammer/capitalization. i've been reduced to that luffable gloaty bit of claire that no one should ever have to see. <3333333

BECAUSE: i entered my newest bit of poetry into a contest, and i am quite pleased with it.

i will show it to you, and although you probably won't get the impact i've been crushed under (or maybe you will, i dunno), you might be like: 'claire - wtf biznatch?' in which case i will forgive you and go on with my gloatiness. (yes, i like to make up words. stfu.)

wow, stfu is funny to say as a word... 8)

okay, here goes:

'political machine' 

tick. tock.
the melodrama of a
bro / ken nation.

tick. tock.
the desperate attempt
to find fate -

between layers of
skin.
bones.
flesh.

anything with a particular
insubstantial quality,

partial and docile
to the words that spew
from the mouth of a

(political)MACHINE.

yes, yes, i know: 'but claire! what?'

oh vell. you must figure out why it makes me so giddyhappygloaty on you own. yes, i know: 'claire, you have a big ego sometimes.'

well, duh. ^_^

/well my inarticulate store-bought hangover hobby kit, it talks. and it says, 'you, oh, you are so cool.'/ - make damn sure // tbs

i said it once before
and i still believe it...
that You're all i need
I swear i mean it...

Please... Look at me...
Let me see
Your eyes,
They shine
In the moonlight...

I need You now
I can not bare it...
I want You to know
I dreamt out all of it...

Please... See me through...
I need You
Your life,
It holds
Me still in love

Perhaps this is what I've dreamt for
Perhaps this is what I want...
Maybe You like it too
Me standing here
Reaching for You

hold me close I've
fallen amongst the stars...
I saw Your face
And it felt way too far...

Please... Look at me...
Let me be
All that
You'll need
In this moment...

true love isn't where
I'd always thought to find it...
it's deep inside me
and i'll never be above it...

Please... keep me close...
Do not fade
Your heart
It beats
With music...

Perhaps this is what I've dreamt for
PErhaps this is what I want...
Maybe You like it too
Me standing here
Reaching for You...

I think I'll find a day
Where all will then come true
Where slowly I can drown
Alone, but far from lifeless

"We are beautiful fighters
To be honest
There are some terrible days
But the girls who live
Without stopping nor giving up are
Beautiful fighters
The unhealed wound
Sometimes opens
But shuts again in time"

so yea i was watching tv and then i heard the breakfast club theme song or "dont you forget about me" and i was like......... totaly time for some amazing movies
so i am watching the breakfast club right now and its soooooo gooood.

so last night i had a super weird dream involving some of my friends...very,very strange...and a coupla nights ago, i had a dream about Bruce. we were just sitting on a porch swing and catching each other up on life. and it was really nice, because it was like i was able to just have a little visit with him. yesterday i went with my mom up to Carthage for the funeral of her Great-Aunt Grady, who was apparently quite a staple in the family. i met a lot of people that i never knew, including a lot of granddaddy's brothers. all in all, it was a pretty well-spoken funeral, but the pastor was reeeeeally long-winded and quite repetitive. but at least he wasn't one of those screaming preachers. after the burial and stuff, i went to dinner in Gordonsville with my grandparents and aunts and uncles, and that was a lot of fun. i really love my mom's side of the family. they're all so fun to be around, and it's a lot nicer now that my granddad has mellowed out so much. nayways, i guess what i'm trying to say is, that with the combination of all the deaths that have happened recently, love your family while they're still here, because you really never know when they could be gone. much love to all---Cari

I saw blue lights this morning when i got pulled over for not yeilding to a police officer (even though i didnt have to). He looked at my license and let me go, though, with out a ticket or warning.

Yesterday was fun, i spent the day in nashville with Tiff. we experienced:

• tower records


• briley parkway and the torn up roads


• San Antonia Taco, Co- and writing on the wall


• the Parthenon


• Bicentineal Mall and the fountains


• mad searching for Tpac


• traffic getting home.

It was an amazing day

     Welp... >>> I'm leaving for Florida tomorrow.  *I wonder if anyone will miss me?*  ANYCOWS... >>> I just thought I'd update this thing before I left.  So... I'll talk to all of you guys AFTER I get back... I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!  :D    <3        -Chelsea

Last nite at Bible Study. Eric led a little lesson on Ephesians 6: 10-20 and it was pretty cool.

I was walking down the card aisle in Walmart yesterday looking for a Father's Day card for my dad when I passed the section of cards for grandfathers. I was suddenly reminded that both my grandfathers were gone. Pa passed away in May of 04 and my Papa passed away January of 05. Not that I ever forget just that at times it just hits me. Like at Prom and at graduation. I miss 'em both so much it isn't funny and I can't believe their really gone sometimes. But then on my way home I heard this song by Diamond Rio and realized just how true it is.

God Only Cries
On an icy road one night
A young man loses his life
They marked the shoulder with a cross
An' his family gathers round
On a piece of Hallowed ground
Their hearts are heavy with their loss
As the tears fall from their eyes
There's one who'll always sympathise.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
An' all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, mmm, baby, than, oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home.

It still makes me sad
When I think of my Grand-dad
I miss him each and every day
But I know the time will come
When my own gradnson
Wonders why I went away
Maybe we're not meant to understand
Till we meet up in the Promised Land.

God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are left to carry on
And all the angels up in Heaven
They're not grieving because they're gone
There's a smile on their faces
'Cause they're in a better place than, oh, baby, than oh
God only cries for the living
'Cause it's the living that are so far from home
Yeah, we're so far from home, Mmmm, Mmmm

So my life sucks right now. Shit just keeps on going worng. B almost broke up with me the other day and it really affected me emotionally. Skool and work has been really stressful. I dont feel emontaionally into anything. I havent really been eating kuz im not hungry. i'm scared that ima gonna loose my true love. but im starting to eat again kuz im not going to try to hurt myself. i really miss B and wanna B with her every moment of my life. But theres always that curveball called life. If it was my choice, i would get an apartment right now and ask B to move i with me. Thats how much i love her. I want to marry her. But i'm not sure she feels the same way about me anymore. 

And my car :( my moms boyfriend has been "working on it" for the past month or so and aint shit change with that. All he does is sit on that damn computer all day and have his boys ova. That shit really pisses me off. He told me that if i give him the money he'll fix the car so i held up my part of the bargin and i still have no car. this is really affecting my relationship with B and thats messed up. But yeah that how life goes huh?

We'll let me stop bitching about my problems. Holla back at cha boy~1~ 

I stayed up and watched the sun rise this morning. It was not as pretty as I thought it would be but it was still cool. I got some pictures but they didn't turn out very well. I think today is going to be a long day, and if you are wondering why pay closer attention. I am going to be working on the LOST episode today. Kenny said that pastor really like the promo for it so it is going to be playing in all three services on Sunday so it should be cool. 

with the sound of your voice
washing away all my sorrows
there's nothing to say but
will you be there tomorrow

can i look forward to the light
of the next coming day
for i'd love to see you again
for then all is okay

i'll say goodnight to you now
but count the seconds til' morn
for with you in the day, for
what else is there to look forward

After church tonight about 15 of us got together at Rachel and Stacee's and all piled out in the backyard and watched Finding Nemo. Between the ice throwing, bug killing, and listening to everyone quote the lines of the movie it was some much needed fun after the last couple of not so great days. But yea...movies and just hanging out with people you really wanna be with.....so great!

Dory: Hey there, Mr. Grumpy Gills. When life gets you down do you wanna know what you've gotta do?
Marlin: No I don't wanna know.
Dory: [singing] Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim. 
Marlin: Dory, no singing. 
Dory: [continuing] Ha, ha, ha, ha, ho. I love to swim. When you want to swim you want to swim.
Marlin: Now I'm stuck with that song... Now it's in my head.
Dory: Sorry.

As my family, friends, and coworkers know, I am very big on keeping my promises and being dependable.  I believe this is important at home and at the job.  As you can appreciate, when someone makes a promise then the "receiver" of the benefits relies on the promisor to deliver.

I can go into all kinds of examples, reasons, yadi yadi yadi, and bore you with stories.  But, I won't.  Let me just say if you are interested in seeing a true life business example of what happens when you don't deliver your promises ... just check out the latest Boeing and Airbus fiasco wherein Airbus just anounced further delays in its jumbo A380 plane program.

One day later:

(a) Singapore Airlines in retaliation/frustration (they were the first to order the A380 plane) announced a new plane order to Boeing worth $4.5G in firm purchases and $4.9G in options ..... yep US$9,000,000,000.00 .... that's a lot of dough, and

(b) the stock market increased Boeing's (and my) network by about 7% ($5G - Boeing; $xx - for me) ... while at the same time wiping out 25% of the value of Airbus

 .... ALL IN ONE DAY ...

Ouch !!!! Keep your promises.  Besides, your family and friends count on you !!! Say what you mean.  Mean what you say.  Honor your commitments ....

ciao ciao

i love to listen to him tell his stories

 GOT CHASED BY A DEER! Ya'll must be thinking how did Cara get herself into this. Well, it was really quite simple; you see I was running at the Battlefield about on my 6th mile miding my own business when I hear this noise. This noise wasn't any normal wood like noise, no it sounded like Emily when she has her asthma attacks after races. So I freeze, and look into the woods off the trail, and standing this is cute doe ( a female deer). I decide to wait till it leave, but it isn't leaving it just sit there making this noise and staring at me. So I slowly begin to walk a little futher up the trail and it walks with me. Then bam it is running at me. So I take off like I was Kelvin in a state race, it had to be the fastest sprint I have ever done. Sometimes, nature is just odd..

So yeah.... havent been up to much lately with having to be at Spectrum all day, but finally have some time to update while I am in Technology.  The kid that I am the counselor for is 12 years old and his name is Connor, he is moderately autistic and is severly ADHD.  Even though he annoys the crap out of me by talking my ear off, I still have had one of the best times of my life this week, and I may even volunteer next summer. But anyways i will try and update later..... God Bless!

In Christ!

proverbs 18:24
there are friends who destroy, but a real friend sticks closer
than a brother.

was so much much better than yesterday. I am not going to get in a sad hole when something bad happens. Thats what God is there for ,to pull you through everything with the help of our  friends and family . Even though its a disease that many people have ,  I am going to try to  over conquer it, bc with God you can get through anything, and look at things positively .  

I <3 alllll of you :)

oh and go and listen to these two songs bc there AMAZING ... "He's my Son" by Mark Schultz and "My Savior , My God" by Aaron Hust

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer, and I caaaaan't wait to come to Murfreesboro, ha im excited.

in life, everything is specified, basically. you're given a specific time & place, specific friends, family, and surroundings. everything is basically set out in front of you & you're left with a choice. the choice of whether you want to screw things up for yourself & everybody else around you, or to make the best of the life you've been given. it's not always easy, but it's not impossible.
for me, i just wanna live the best life that has been given to me that i possibly can. i don't see a reason to take detours into what is cool for the moment, because of the way i see it, it's not worth ruining what's planned already. God's got this fantastic plan for my life that is gonna take it's toll the way it should, & hopefully, i'll make a difference somehow. i'm not on this earth because God ran out of ideas & He felt sorry for me. there's a purpose for me, & i take fulfillment in that.
i want to live a simple life. i want all my relationships to be simple. i don't see a reason for me or other people to complicate things. if crap comes up, deal with it. it's all a part of life, & complaining about it or causing drama for it isn't gonna help it go away none-the-less take it back from happening.
i want to fall in love with the man of my dreams & for him for fall head over heels for me, too, and that basically be it. us being in a relationship with our love & friendship to fall back on. if we're truly in love & it's meant to be, then it'll all work out. sure, there's gonna be problems, but we'll learn how to deal with them together. love isn't about being selfish, it's about completely sacrificing yourself for your significant other, whether it's a friend, your family, or your husband. i want to fulfill that need & purpose in my life, but am i by no means saying i'm gonna succeed everytime.
it's in our human nature to be "natural". we naturally sin. we're naturally selfish. naturally this, naturally that. why not defy the natural? be who it is you are created to be, which is completely unnatural. when we become a part of the holy body of Christ, we are called to be unnatural. it's our purpose, to defy the natural and not sin. God says we aren't perfect, so we're gonna slip up, but isn't it great how amazing God is? He'll just forgive us & we start back over; again & again.
i guess what i'm trying to say is, i'm sick of this monotonous life to the same 'ol same 'ol.

"it take a crane to make a crane. it takes two floors to make a story. it takes a hen to make an egg. it takes an egg to make a hen. there is no end to what i'm saying.
it takes a thought to make a word. & it takes some words to make an action. it takes some work to make it work. it takes some good to make it hurt. it takes some bad for satisfaction.
life is wonderful. life goes full circle. life is wonderful.
it takes a night to make it dawn. it takes a day to make you yawn, brother. it takes some old to make it young. it takes some cold to know the sun. it takes the one to have the other.
& it takes no time to fall in love, but it takes you years to know what love is. it takes some fears to make you trust. it takes those tears to make it rust. it takes the dust to have it polished.
life is wonderful. life goes full circle. life is so full of. life is so rough. life is wonderful. life goes full circle. life is our love.
it takes some silence to make sound. it takes some loss before you found it. & it takes a road to go nowhere. it takes a toll to make you care. it takes a hole to make a mountain.
life is wonderful. life goes full circle. life is wonderful. life is meaningful. life is wonderful. life, it is so wonderful."

i'm not sure how to feel about this...

[link]

on one hand, it seems fascinating and i want one. on the other, i'm kind of appalled and worried.

strange...

i had been thinking the past couple of days about how i wanted to do a post on this but i always ran into the quandry of how to do it without sounding boasfun and un-humble. (ya, ya'll liked that word quandry didnt you. haha)

anyways.

a few weeks ago brother dean used philipians chapter 2. and one of the verses was verse 14.
"Do everything withough complaining or arguing, '15' so that you may become blameless and pure children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe..."

i want to dwell on the part about doing everything without complaining or arguing. for those of ya'll that know me at all you know that i did not want to work at nissan this summer. it was the last thing i wanted to do. after i heard this i'm pretty sure i turned to amy and told her that i dont need to complain about working there anymore and it'll be alot better. i know i told whitney that.
  soon after my supervisor sent me to forklift school which is a privallage and included a raise and then they told us that the forklift drivers were getting a cost of living raise. i was like "oh my gosh, thank you God". if He hadn't sent me to forklift school, then i wouldnt gotten any kind of raise. things have truly become more amazing since i have stopped looking at it in such a negative way.
  like i said, i'm not trying to brag, just tell you about my blessings. God could be preparing me for whats to come which could be bad or good, you never know, but i'm taking it one step at a time and continuing to thank God.
    there's lots more that i need to do to improve my walk with God, which i'm working on, but i know forsure that he's looking out for me.

   the trip to six flags was amazing. i'm glad i saw the martya station so that we could get on the subway to go downtown. it was awesome. look at the pics on aimee davis' site, i dont have them, but i asked for them. haha.

      i really needed that trip to get away from things and have fun. i've really come to see what friends are for and what to look for. i hate it when i see a friend take a turn for the worse. i try to change things so that something bad doesnt happen but it's hard to do so without being a jerk. oh well, i just try to be the best influence. the hard part is, that when the problem is when the person is easily influenced, they dont pick up on the best influences. kinda sucks.

hope everyone has a great day, and if your still reading this, post a comment and i'll talk about how cool you are on my next post. maybe even post enough on your next post to make it the "most posted". haha.

so while im ubber anticipating my 7 am flight out of this shit hole, i realize that i might just miss some of you freaks.  NO im kidding, of course i will.  But then again i get to spend two weeks with my Grandmother, who is amazing.  And of course my cousin Amber.  Who is also pretty fabulous.

2 weeks away from the family :D : D :D   I needed this.... and might i be so arrogant as to say that i deserved it. ??  I think so.

Did you ever feel like you wanna be
Someone else for just one day,
Did you ever feel like you wanna
See through another pair of eyes,
Did you ever think I'm a wannabe with
Anyone else for just one day,
Did you ever you really think of me when i walked away?

You look, but don't sound apologetic,
You smoke your subjects at my eyes, like you think,
You know where you think you'll find, you think you'll figure me out tonight,
But you'll never know what i won't share,
Cause I don't care and I don't care,
You think you'll figure me out tonight,
But I don't care,

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way,
Cause every man that I know, makes me feel like I'm too blame
When it's over and my selfish ways,
Go back to start again, go back to start again.

Did you ever feel like you should have said
Something smarter at that time,
Did you ever feel like you should have kept
it all to yourself,
Did you ever think it might be your fault
And never promise anymore,
Did you ever think it might not be me
No, it was always me?

You look, you don't sound apologetic,
You smoke your subjects at my eyes, like you think,
You know where you think you'll find, you think you'll figure me out tonight,
But you'll never know what i won't share,
Cause I don't care and I don't care,
You think you'll figure me out tonight,
But I don't care,

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
Cause every man that I know, makes me feel like I'm too blame
When it's over and my selfish ways
Go back to start again

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
Cause every man that I know, makes me feel like'I'm too plain'
When it's over and my selfish ways
Go back to start again, go back to start again

You look, you don't sound apologetic,
You smoke your subjects at my eyes, like you think,
You know where you think you'll find, you think you'll figure me out tonight,
But you'll never know what i won't share,
Cause I don't care and I don't care,
You think you'll figure me out tonight,
But I don't care,

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
cause every man that I know, makes me feel like im to blame
When it's over and my selfish ways
Go back to start again,

And I wonder, if I'm just built this way
cause every man that I know, makes me feel like'I'm too plain'
When it's over and my selfish ways
Go back to start again, go back to start again

Go back to start again

so later everyone...  :D our new Kitten

Camp was absolutely amazing... it has 100% changed my life!! I went to camp completely ready to give up on life ENTIRELY.... and now im so filled with peace and joy... Its amazing! Every year i go to camp have this great "experience" come home and forget about it... but this year... its different... Im having that experience EVERY DAY!!! Oh-ma-gah! Its crazy....

OK so i went to camp and i "got rid of  my evil influences".. then i came home... and they were still there.. there is this one situation that has been affecting everything about my life for about a year now.. and i ditched it at camp.. BUT... i came home.. and it was still here.... so i had to work soooo hard to overcome that.. and its still a struggle but things are getting sooo much better and i feel sooo much peace... WOW....

Camp was sooo much fun... I really got alot closer with some of the FWC crowd.. like Ashley, Alicia, Meghan, Justin and Hannah!! Also I started hanging out with Turning Point kids and I love them to death!!! Im starting to go to TP on Sunday nights now... Im really excited about it.. even though i had a rough start there.. lol....

The evangalist was the best speaker i have ever heard... he was amazing!!! If you ever get the chance to hear Ron Rhoads speak.. drop everything and GO... God has a hold on that man's life like no other!!

The games were fun...

I took a millions pictures...
