So certain events and people have gotten me thinking about photography again... I haven't done any in a while simply because of the cost of film.. however... I have an idea... what I really like doing is to do those photo shoots that everyone always wants of themselves but they will never actually do for themselves... you know... the ones that are punk or that are country.... black and white or in somethign specific... the ones out in a field or in a park... laughing or not smiling... high contrast or glowy... but like I said I can't afford to... so here is my solution... if there is anyone who wants to have fun with pictures I will do them of you if you can pay for the film... that way I get the fun and experience of helping you get what you want and you get pictures of yourself and I don't dip into my college savings... anyway... anyone who has ever wanted to do this kind of thing let me know... :-) talk to you all later

So this is a new adventure for me... PHUSEBOX. it is exciting. I hope everyone is having a nice summer and so yeah... im going to try to go figure this whole thing out.

PS- That profile pic is me- the real Miss SHS.

so, tonight i went and bought the davinci code...see, i dont feel like i can learn about a book until i've read it...and i dont understand what all the hoopla is about...so, i have decided to read it...even though i've wanted to read it for a year or so. but tonight, i actually went to buy it and im really freaking excited!!!!

then i'm going to read WICKED cause i freaking love some of the songs from it (check out my myspace!!!) and im excited about that too (i would have bought it tonight but my account runneth dry)

have a good one! i'm in a really good mood so you should be too!!!

Well yall! Wow this has been an eye opening pass couple of days! I am down in Daphne Alabama! Not far from Gulf Shores! Mayber 20 minutes! I have been shopping and just hanging out! I have come to the conclusion that i might just stay down here for the rest of the summer! I would be home off and on though! I mean i could find a job here since everyone is hiring! I dont know! it is just something to think about! I mean that would be totally AWESOME! I am going to talk to my mom about it! My Aunts company has an airplane so if i needed to be home i could be in an hour and a 1/2! So i have to really think about things!That would mean leaving my baby! That would beso darn hard! Im not sure how he would feel about it though! I think he would ABSOLUTELY hate it! My Aunt, Uncle and Cuz say it is fine! They have no problem!

On a good note i got to drive a LEXUS today! It was AWESOME! Such a smooth ride! Well guys i will hopefully put graduation pictures up soon!

Pray for me and my decision!

Greetings family and friends!!
Well, the time has finally arrived!!! YAHOO!! I board my first flight from Knoxville to Atlanta in the morning. By the time most of you read this I will probably be on my way to Salt Lake! I should arrive in Bozeman tomorrow afternoon and will hit the ground running!! I have finished packing but that's not the end of it. Of course I will be going over things in my head all night tonight! So with this said, I am signing off for awhile or at least until I am able to get to some sort of Internet access. Again I am assuming that the access is very limited so bear with me if you don't hear from me for a while. I will be contacting Mom and Dad when I can, so feel free to ask them. I cannot WAIT to start taking pictures so that you guys can experience this with me!!! I am soo excited but at the same time anxious and nervous. I love you all VERY MUCH and appreciate all the PRAYERS!!

ONWARD TO BIG SKY COUNTRY I GO!!!

All my love!!!
Sarah Campbell

P.S. I have been checking the weather and it will be in the low 60s as a high when I arrive and on Saturday the high is 45!!!!!!! Talk about major adjustment!!!

I'm so ready to get MY chance to shine. I want to be a part of something great & I want the chance to make it great. I want to be in charge. I want things to finally go MY way. but... not this year... maybe my senior year..

yes this has been a selfish entry. sometimes you need one of those every once in a while though.

1)    SCHOOLS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

               Im Totally psyched about summer.

PARTY!!!

2)     Haircut. Ya'll like?

                 (Notice the Lack of my face.)
          

3)     Friend Fight

This is gonna take a while… Me and my friends (Jenny and Lizzie) hung out until Ethan and Matt got home. Then it was time for my haircut. After that we spent two hours watchin tv and talking at Etahn's with Lizzie and Jenny. Then we went outside and played basketball. Matt was added here. Jenny and Lizzie left around 6, so it was just me, Matt, Ethan, and a kid named Jesse. After me and Ethan won like 4 games, we were in the final game before I left when I was guarding Matt. I kinda tripped him up a bit from guarding, so he did a shoulder throw at me. It hit my chin really hard and smashed my teeth together. (FIGHT BEGINS) I punched him in the stomach or chest out of anger and pain and we began hitting a bit when he punched the crown of my head. I then hit him in the face (Ethan told me), so Matt punched my head really hard like 7 times. I felt the blood rushing, I got really mad, stood back, flicked a bird (bad thing), and left while spitting in his yard. His mom came and asked what was going on to him while I was leaving. Then I call Ethan a few hours later and he said Matt was cryin a bit. I have 5 ERASER SIZE bumps on my head. I'm confused.

Whats going on…
<JacoB>  

(EDIT)

I know whats going on now.

Matt told Ethan to tell me that he cried and was hurt.

He really hit my head 7 times because of my elbow in his stomach after his first punch. Time for a break from hangin out with Matt. eh?

....for all the remarks you guys left me on my last entry......wow it took me so long to read all of them....lol.....its okay tho...well school is finally over, no more being a sophomore thats kinda cool eh? the YOUth band is starting up again and yours truly is the bassist....yeah yeah now not everyone clap at once!!!      hahaha dang i make myself laugh...well we play on wednesdays at Third Baptist Church on mcknight drive so maybe well see you guys there..... later everyone.....keep it cool

f.y.i.....the network here in Glorieta has myspace blocked so I can only get to phusebox and facebook. so please do not send me messages on myspace or i won't get them till august. also if you ask to be my friend on myspace it will be august before i can accept you. by the way, new mexico is beautiful and i got here safely. and i kinda miss home but hopefully i won't soon. ok, love you guys!

AbbyDeeLishUs

I sent this to all of the folks back home.  Since it was already typed, I
thought I would put it here just in case someone wondered what Jeff
Hill did in April and May.

Last Days
My time in New York is quickly coming to a close. I graduate from TLJ
this Thursday, the last day of the after-school program will be June 7,
and I will fly back to Texas June 16.


Events
Concert
Our concert was everything we could have hoped. The artists sounded
great, the church once again looked fabulous thanks to our volunteers,
and over 100 people showed up. Most of those came from our
neighborhood. Everyone who came had a great time and loved the music.
Thanks to everyone who helped make it a success.

Easter Egg Hunt
April 15 a large group of us from Graffiti trekked up to the south
Bronx where Andrew Mann and Graffiti 2 sponsored a community-wide Easter egg hunt. They had never had one before, so they did not know whether to expect 25 kids or 300. On the day of the event, we provided snow cones, popcorn, cotton candy, and face painting in addition to laying out 5,000 candy-filled eggs, all free to the community.

As they started registering kids for the hunt, the line backed-up until
they had to start turning people away. Over 300 kids showed up, each
with at least one guardian! I have never seen anything quite like the
hunt itself; the egg-covered fields were picked clean in less than two
minutes. Afterwards, Andrew put on a magic show complete with a
presentation of the gospel. The event was a huge success.

College Metro Conference
Lorie, Jenny, and I along with TLJ hosted a conference for over 60
college pastors here at Graffiti April 19-21. Jenny and I were
responsible for providing the food and setting-up/ breaking-down the
dining areas. Neither of us had provided food for that many people
before. We did not see much of the conference, but we had plenty of
food, it all arrived on time, and everyone had a place to sit and eat.

Clothing Sale
We held another clothing sale on the first Saturday this month. Once
again, the weather was ideal and the crowd calm. We sold nearly all of
the clothes we had, by the bagful for a nominal price. Everyone who
came left with something they liked.


Road-Trips
Over the last several months, some friends and I have taken advantage
of the opportunities that we have had to hit the road and see what we
can see.

Washington D. C.
Jenny, Jennifer, and I decided to take a Friday and travel to
Washington and see what we could in one day. We saw the cherry trees in bloom and many famous buildings and monuments, including the changing of the guard at the Tomb of the Unknown American Soldier.

Princeton, NJ
The next week, Jenny and I visited our friends at Princeton Theological
Seminary to watch their ultimate Frisbee tournament and help eat the
Southern Society's barbecue. It rained most of the day, but the campus
and town were beautiful.

5 Boro Bike Tour
The day after our clothing sale, I joined 30,000 people in the largest
recreational cycling event in the U.S.: NYCs 5 Boro Bike Tour. We rode 40-miles traffic-free from Battery Park in Manhattan to Staten Island via the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn. I have never seen so many people on bicycles. I ended up in the heart of the bike traffic, but still had a great time.

  welp, this is my second post of the day, thus pointing out that yessir indeedy, i do have an addiction. 

  anyway...i've been trying to skateboard lately since there's nothing else really to do. 

  i love it. 

  it's so incredibly fun.  

  but i have to use my sister's board because i dont own one and her's is a crappy gross board. 

  so... 

  anyone have a board that they would be interested in selling to me? 

I'm back on phusebox. It's been awhile. Lately things have been going great. I have a car, I have two jobs, I have a band, I'm going to start recording soon, I have some shows lined up, and things are going pretty smooth with the females. Good times. Biotches.

I LANDED MY FIRST QUAD TODAY!

3x and I got it on videocamera!

We had section leader workshops today, and I think I'm gonna be the only clarinet section leader. Which is good and bad. I think that I am ready though.

We watched the Blue Devils perform the show we are gonna do for marching season, and it was completely awesome. Well....actually, I was mostly watching the guard.

I wanna be on a guard. And I plan to be on one. As quickly as possible. The bad part is, if I hurt myself (like a broken finger or something) then it's gonna affect my clarinet playing. Which will be bad.

I need a singing teacher. Maybe I should take Erin's offer...

Congrats on our new drum major: Emily Hall. I was rootin' for you since day one.

Marching band is gonna be fun: heat, the people, the music, going shirtless, having fun.

"We want to stand upon our own feet and look fair and square at the world-its good facts, its bad facts, its beauties, and its ugliness; see the world as it is and be not afraid of it. Conquer the world by intelligence and not merely by being slavishly subdued by the terror that comes from it."

-Bertrand Russell

Today I got to spend the day with Trent in Lexington and it was nice.  And what was even more surprising is that I didn't cry when we had to leave.  So that was good.  Utterly surprised me.  So good day...until later...

We cannot discover the worship God is seeking for apart from the working of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We must submit to His guidance and leadership in all aspects of worship, both as gathered community and in our individual lives. So we must rely on the work of the Spirit in us to draw from us the worship in which God delights.

I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!

 band time is almost here and i think i'm going to cry!

 leadership workshop was today (and tomorrow) and i dont think i have a chance.

 but it's all good.

 i can honestly say i've never loved anything so much before.

  i'm just so excited!! 

 oh, and congragulations to ari and milly for making dm!

 i'm so happy for you guys!

the movie was pretty good.i was kinda disappointed because so much of the book was left but it was still awesome.

okay now i need something to do today...who wants to hangout?just give me a call.

i love you all

god bless

Leah

Yesterday i went to the doctor to get my arm x rayed and it isnt broken so that is awesome. today so far i have done nothin, but cody is susposed to be coming over later so we will probably end up doing something. what are you all doing this week? well i will talk to you people L8R

Andrew

I've come across a problem.

Hypothetically speaking, if one was born without the use of any of the physical senses, would they still exist?  We would say so, but I'm not so sure, especially since it's never happened.  In other words, is existence totally contingent on perception, or is there a blank slate that exists before perception occurs?  What ramifications would either possibility have logically?

Woop!

I just found out PhuseBox works at my school!!!

That Rocks My Socks...

she is magical and always will be... almost as magical as amy lee... but.......................... not quite... cuz if amy lee was here i would pass out... preeeeeeeeeeety sure.

Ahem, recall James Bond in the movie "goldfinger" ... well, having completed my dental work this morning I now have a nice shiny gold crown on a molar (its stronger than porcelian, which I need as I grind my teeth at night) ... and so .... with my gold tooth ... I should now be called (a) goldtoother ... or (b) Mr Bill (MaryBeth's choice) ..... maybe I should just stick with Desperado ...

Just love technology and my company (sometimes they are AR).  Tried and tried last night to access my Co email via Grandma Suzy's broadband.  Even called the company "Helpless Desk".  Lo & behold ... they say that Grandma Suzy needs a router for me to access the Company via her cable modem ... because the IP address wasn't compatible with the VPN network .... soooo, given that I had to access my email (no real choice) ... I dumbed down .... good ole' dial-up .... can you say SNAIL?

Ha ... lunch time soon .... hmmmm, hungry .. Hungry ... HUNGRY ... think I'm going to Chinese buffet to get a fortune cookie that will say "you will travel to faraway places with your job" ...

Ciao ciao

haha

sumer is here, dears
congrats
have fun.

I have such a hunger for God. It's so indescribable. I ache for Him. I am nothing but everything because of Him. I would be incomplete without His presence in my heart and in my soul. I can't physically see Him yet I can see Him more clearly than I can see anyone else. I see His love surround me everywhere I go. He is God. He is my Father. He is my life. Living means living for Him...I have no other purpose but to serve Him.

Ephesians 3:16-20

16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his spirit. 17Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. 18And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 20Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

school is out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Aries and Gemini come together in a love affair, they connect on a physical as well as an intellectual level. These two Signs love activity and stay optimistic even in the most trying of times. Signs that are two apart in the Zodiac usually enjoy excellent communication and a deep understanding of one another. Aries's independent, pioneering spirit is attractive to Gemini, who also values independence. If Gemini feels that Aries is being too controlling or if Aries takes Gemini's flirtatious nature too seriously, arguments may set the tone of the relationship. They create a good balance together: Aries wants to experience things and Gemini wants to discuss them. Together they can make all kinds of new discoveries that they might have missed alone. Both Aries and Gemini have tons of energy as well as common goals. Gemini is a thinker and a talker, prizes intellectual stimulation and freedom and loves to look at all sides of an argument. Aries loves to jump into new projects and get their hands dirty, and Gemini will definitely take the time to find out Aries's reasons for choosing the projects they support. While Gemini can be wishy-washy, Aries is straightforward and decisive; this is a great combination, but it is essential that Aries allows Gemini intellectual space. Aries is ruled by the Planet Mars and Gemini is ruled by the Planet Mercury. These Planets represent Passion and Communication, respectively. Because of their different approaches, Aries and Gemini work great in tandem--they get their points across in different ways, but they definitely get those points across. Fevered debates will either spice up this union--or ruin it. Aries needs to understand that Gemini loves a good, fiery argument, not to insult or dominate their challenger but as a great brain workout.

hey everybody! school is finally out for me! ill have quite a lot to do this summer though.  i have to get a job (and then work when i do finally get one), soccer, summer reading, plus hangin out with my friends and all that stuff.  i love summer!

   

The extensive
grasp of limitation intrinsic in this natural realm indeed has no
application in prayer. I am in no way constrained, restricted, or
bound in any way from anything I might say or wish for when I am in
the presence of Almighty God. Once I am entered into the realm of
supernatural supplication, all rules, limitations, physical laws, and
biological standards are no longer applicable, and furthermore, even
taken into the slightest bit of consideration. For in His presence
we come imploring of His hand: a hand no one can fathom or attempt to
adequately describe, that at a whim slighter than a feather's touch
instantaneously brought the entire universe into existence, and in
doing so only displayed a minuscule portion of its power.
Furthermore, it is my opinion that once we come to the realization
that through prayer we have access to this hand, one of such
boundless potential, capable of over riding any and every natural
limitation, that we can experience the true power of God in our
lives: a power completely devoid of absolutely any restriction.

wow, do you know what makes me happy...? shall i make a list for you?

♪ no more highschool
♪no more stupid ass people
♪no more fucking drama
♪no more lunch lines with stupid underclassmen cutters..
♪no more artificial friendships
♪no more lame excuses or bull shit

yeah... im free. im a graduate. im older. whatever. im glad to be out of school and i will definitely miss friends and i will want them to keep in touch with me always even though i know most of us are going seperate ways and we will be too busy making new friends to really remember the old ones. but definitely try to keep in touch. i have your number in my phone! no reason not to randomly text me when you want to talk!

im in nashville alot these days... even though im driving a car im trying to sell because it is fucking me big time because of all the shit im repairing on the peice of junk. im looking for a new car. and i want a jeep wrangler. but then i want a full suv y'know. i like my big bodies. people move out of your fucking way.

when is school officially out? is it may 31st or what cause i gotta bring that stuff back to mr. griffith. stat. and im working on it, and i was suppose to bring it up there yesterday and i got busy and had to go places. and today im in nasshville so i really can't take it up there cause i have to go to work after i get back so... sorry. *shrugs*

graduation was pretty good. i got a digital camera (a kodak easy share- comes w/ a printer) and that was cool cause it was on my list of shit i wanted. then my computer... i haven't got it yet but i have atleast have of the money down on it. i just need about $800 more... (: im getting a mac. yes, yes, yes. Y-E-S.

alright i gotta blow this joint. hit the mall for a little bit until sam gets out of school and then head home and go to work. : oi..

I'm writing a play and a long short story right now, and I can't decide which to work on now that school's out.  They're both psycological pieces about the female mind.  Which is a fun and complicated topic, lol.

The play, so far untitled, is about two sisters (loosely based on Rachel and Leah in the Bible) who are viciously jealous of one another and must balance that jealousy by accepting that they each have something the other wants - children for one, the love of a man for the other - until one finally receives what she wants and the delicate equilibrium is shattered and tragedy strikes.

The short story is called "Regina Solaria," which is Latin for "The Lonely Queen," and it's about an ancient young queen whose royal husband -whom she hates for his violence toward her - is so jealous of other men that he forbids her to have any other human contact at all, save a mute servant woman.  When an accident brings her companionship, she is so desperate she drives it away; when she gives birth to twins, she becomes obsessed with them to the point of disaster.

Which do you think I should work on first?

I can't say that I haven't been doing anything because I have.  I have been doing EVERYTHING that I can and I don't know how I can do all of this.

I tried out for MYO ( Murfreesboro Youth Orchestra) and I made it with the power of God!!!!  It totally was Him.  I know it.  I didn't do very well in my try out so I know that it wasn't me who made it in by myself.  No, He helped.

Next, I had my Band Banquet and I cried.  I didn't think that it would be this hard to leave my middle school band directors.  I guess that I will have to go and see them all the time when I'm in high school.

Then, I had this meeting last night which lasted FOREVER!!!!!  It was sooooooooooooo  boring.  I really don't know how I sat there for that. 

Yes, my life is crazy and I don't know how I put up with it all but I do.  I guess that's about it for right now.
Love you guys...

P.S.  Qoute of the day
       "  don't tell me you love me unless it's true"

I must be crazy. I mean really. Who does things like this to themselves? I honestly think that love is playing really sick jokes on me lately. Now don't take any of this the wrong way please because it doesn't mean I'm giving up on Kenny and our relationship. It just means that I'm going through a lot of crap and things are getting crazy. I rarely get to talk to him because the crazy boy works all the freakin time. Usually that makes each time I do get to talk to him that much better but sometimes it makes things awful. I mean I can't sleep at night sometimes and I just sit and read the notes that were passed between us before he left. And the night before last I could have sworn he was standing right outside in my driveway because, and this is going to sound bizarre, I could smell Kilo, not just Kilo but the smell of Kilo on him.. I told you it was bizarre. I guess it's just a product of the fact I miss him so much and it makes me crazy. Or maybe I'm just weird. Because I actually followed the smell from my back porch around my house to my driveway. But hey it happens I guess.

Sometimes I just want to scream, and it sucks to be this far apart. And he graduates thursday and I can't be there to cheer. I don't know when I'll get to see him again. I think the hardest thing is the fact that I'm a memory person and being apart kind of reduces the ability to create memories. I like memories because it's a way to hold on to things so they don't disappear.

More to come later.
Lucky

hey, i have no idea wat this is but basically i go to kings bruton in somerset, live in north devon and enjoy sport n music! laters

I love this girl.

I rode the subways in London.  It was scary.

i hate when people have problems & i totally cant relate.  i just dont know what to do, because i want to help, but i cant.

learning to drive a stick is fun.  never do it alone.  its fun to have someone to laugh at you.

i have become a workaholic and im starting to wonder if anyone misses me...

All five minutes of freshmen year are over as of today.

TIME FLIES!

I am going til eleven tomorrow to do two exams (sick days kept exemption away), but those are my only two.

I am so happy about summer, feelin weird about getting older though.

I'm reflecting, what is to come seems miles away, what has past seems right behind me.

no one likes a long entry

         don't lie 

   it's true.....

                                                        random phrases- figure out who they are for

         SHY?!?!

  good job!

                                             PUT YOUR PANTS ON BOY!!!!!

                           OMG!!!!

Due to a counting error, I need two books more than I thought. Two books later, NOW I need 13. Darn.

10.  While I can limit what I perceive, I can not directly control what I perceive; that is, if I choose to perceived a certain event, while I can limit what I perceive of the event, I can not change the outcome by my perception.  This observation leads to a confirmation of the assumption of the existence of the universe.

What do you think?

*Well, although I haven't quite figured it out, it's kinda like this.  So far, the only thing I know exists is myself and my perception is access to my own existence.  I perceive that the universe exists, but it is relatively uncontrollable.  This must mean that it carries on, to an extent, regardless of my existence and has to be equal in some regard with my existence.  Therefore, it can not not exist because if it didn't, it wouldn't carry on in a manner against what I would want.  In other words, if the universe does not exist, then only I exist, and everything is a product of my existence.  But we know this is not true because I have to perceive something in order to fill the "blank slate" of existence, unless I create the universe in a manner unbeknownst to myself.  I perceive this universe as something that exists, and it carries on by itself, even while I exist, further proving that it isn't a product of me, again, unless I created the universe (or my plane of existence) in a manner unbeknownst to me.  But even then, why would I do something in such a way as to displeasure myself, if I had completely control over my plane of existence?  Does that make any sense?

    The mind.... Which is more real... our perception, or "reality".... I guess were our perception more true than perception itself would be reality? There are things I know to be true and logical.... and then the things that I feel.

I miss the day when I was packing...Pack, Unpack, Settle down~~ But I'm stagnant for a while. I'll explode if still nothing happen.

so school is over, Im now a senior and the days of D-Bo are over.  This summer will be great.  Im excited about next year, but I can't help missing what I had mere hours ago.

oh yeah. mrs long gave us a free day.

 This is Sasha, my faithful puppy, she had surgery today and so she is spending the night at the kennel and

 sabel is having a FIT since she walked out of the house to go to the vets.

I am going to miss everyone this summer. but i am so excited for once about band camp. my dad is fixing up my car. he has found a CD player for it because it is an 89 honda so it dont have anything but air, tape player and autolock, so we are going to put in cup holders and some other stuff.

watched The Ringer today....i can't believe i would actually suggest it to all of you. it was pretty darn good! not heartless and cruel like i thought it would be.

nayways, main point of this entry..

Yeah, so i think Martin Luther is my new hero. i've been furiously studying for my History Final, and i came across Martin Luther again, the founder of Protestantism! he was sooooooo cool! he totally stayed true to what he knew was right, and was obedient to God, even though it meant being excommunicated from the church he had devoted most of his life to, plus other persecution. through studying the Bible, he realized that the current Catholic Church of the time had it all wrong, what with indulgences and such...see, many priests and other were trying to convice people that they could attain salvation by buying indulgences, which was of course completely wrong. Luther challenged this, and taught the idea of "justification by grace, through faith", which is what i believe....how cool...it's so neat to see how Satan has tried throughout history to squelch advances in the faith, and how God always intervenes. neato bandito. nayways, just some thoughts...it's not good deeds or ceremony that gets you into heaven, it's God grace alone, and your decision of whether or not to accept it. how cool is that? --much love to you all...by the way, i made a 69 on my Algebra II final...i'm smart. ha. ---Cari 

I think I am finally done packing.  Today is the last day I have to pack.  I have to be completely done by tonight because tomorrow...will be awesome.  I get to spend the day in Lexington with the one, the only, Trent Ashcraft.  For this I am extremely excited because it will be the last day that I get to see Trent for two months.  That will be very, very sad when I have to say goodbye to him tomorrow.  In fact, that will be one of the hardest things about leaving for Poland.  I've spent a lot of time away from my parents so that will be hard...but I've gotten so used to seeing him everyday and talking to him everyday that it will be very hard to give that up. 

Ya know what else will be hard...knowing that I have something to eat.  I'm very picky and I'm not sure what I will eat but I'm sure that I can find something good to eat.  I know that I like Pierogies, cheese, and bread.  These are all staples in the Polish Society.  So I should be able to always find something good to eat...right???

If I have to unzip my suitcase, it will never get closed every again.  It is packed so tight but I have so much stuff in there.  I'm excited...I just hope that it doesn't weigh over 50Ibs.  That would be bad because then I would have to pay more money.

Random thought...I might have to take a different Bible because the one I'm using right now is really super heavy.

Training starts on Thursday.  Pray for me!

yes yes! i know.
it has been forever! well my computer died and now it is back to life, so i can be on again! k well leave me comments!

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! I'll definitely have to check some of those out!

Being the most remarked entry two days in a row is also pretty awesome...

If you wanted to act in my music video, I think I am totally changing what I want to do... like the story and the song... But I could still use some footage. If you're interested and are avaliable anytime on Friday, leave me a remark and let me know what time you are avaliable and I'll try to figure something out. Thanks!

*EDIT* So my mom and I were just having a conversation about how you can't trust people who go by three names, like Lee Harvey Oswalt and John Wilkes Booth. Then my dad pipes in: "Hillary Rodham Clinton". :)

I just got done riding my very old, very rusty bike... OH!!! by the way paul that's what i want for my birthday... just kidding... I still can't think of any thing!!! help me out people and tell me what I should have paul get me for my birthday!!!

(America, you better think twice)

That was on someone's profile picture.

Yesterday's interview went well, as did the one the lady at the school board scheduled me for today at Bradley Academy. I should have a lot more information in the coming days.

postamble();Today was perfect. I laid out early in the morning until I had to get ready to go to work. I finally have somewhat of a tan now. And now I am going to the Encounter College service for the first time tonight.

I think the best way to describe life is amazingly perfect. It's incredible how wonderful life is when you finally give everything to God....not that there was anything for me to give because He already had it all.

Tomorrow is the "Passing of the Torch" service. I'm so excited to pass mine.

Hope you guys are well....

hey dont forget Encounter 7:07pm tuesday ages 18-30 come and bring a friend!

Currently Watching
Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Bosly's sick.

High School Musical is out on DVD. and i bought it.

i just finished off a box of croutons.

so i got wireless for my computer. it's pretty awesome. pretty funny considering it's a desktop, but easier than running a cable to my bedroom.

so, for those that know me or have read this thing probably know that i wasnt going to pass chemistry. but, even though i woke up 10 minutes after my chem exam started and had to run, yes, run 20 minutes across campus, still some how managed to pass chemistr with a decent grade. i was hoping for  a D just so that i didnt have to retake, but low and behold i made a C. i guess i should also mention that i didnt study for the final cause i thought i was too far gone. but hey, thats how i roll. just goes to show how God really does have your back in a pinch. jessica and i have no idea how that happened.

i managed to finish my first year without failing a class, but i am going to retake one class so that i'll have a good grade.

so, first thing when i got home me, lauren and amy packed up and went to florida. thats right. a weekend in florida. well, it wasnt the weekend, but it felt like it. with any good road trip, the storms threatend our lives along with a black lady that i ran off the road in birmingham and a white trash girl that lauren tried to intimidate on the return trip through birmingham. amy still hasnt posted pics, but thats ok.

i'm working nights at nissan again this year. but it's not bad. just the same ol same ol. BUT, they told me their sending me to forklift training school which starts tomorow. sweet victory is mine. if i get to do that all summer i'll have it made. even if i just do it occasionally during the week it'll be better than the same 'ol same 'ol. i have a good story about me driving one this morning while ya'll were slepping, but i'll save that for later.

i need to excercise some more, actually, i have excercised since before finals, but i'll get around to it. i need to stay in shape for rowing. but i have gained weight, so thats nice.

not much else to say. my good friend is sick. :( i hope she gets better. :)

maybe this summer wont be so bad after all. either way, it's a good break from school and a good chance to make some more money. i'm still mowing yards, but not as many.

i have a good bible verse i'm going to put up on  a shorter post so that maybe people will read it.

Well, I've gone and done it now.  What it is I've done I don't know, but I do know that I have done it.  Anyway, things are going good.  Singing at church went just about perfectly (it was perfect until the end when I screwed up pretty bad).  But looking on the bright side, I've been screwing around with some different programs which I have on my computer and have managed to be able to record musical accompaniment directly off of my computer so that I don't even have to use a real piano.  Problem is, it doesn't sound natural...I mean, the audio does, in fact, sound like a piano, but it is too rigid/mechanical.  It sounds like someone has got the sheet music right in front of them and is making sure to play every note exactly right without giving thought to the idea of making it sound as if there is some feeling behind the notes.  Now, don't get me wrong...I'm not too elitist, and I'm not black, but music has got to have a little soul.  Anyway, time to start getting everything cleaned up here.

Yeah we outta school! Seniors '07! On a sadder note, my older bro moved out today : (

i have TWO big things i want to write about.....

first thing i am not so crazy about seth anymore... i wasnt really in the first place but it seemed that i was because all i thought about was him.... then i asked myself....," Self, do i really like seth or do i like him just because my friends told him and he said it was kind of obvious?" then i also told myself," Self eitherway, if you like him or not.... this crush / obsession is getting a little out of hand" so it is on hold for now. you could say i am over him until next year....lol...

the other big thing is school is out...yeaya baby!!! oh my... well i am also officially a sophmore!! woot woot... now if my sophmore year goes any faster than my freshman year.... i don't know what i'm gonna do... all i can say is i've got friends in high places...tee hee... yes...here on earth also...

well i'll catch up to yall later... love ya Ronnie!

WHY WHY WHY......................................................................... Why is it so impossible!!! Why can we not, no matter how hard we try!!! Why can we never seem to be able to eat 10 saltine crackers in 1 minute withought taking a drink???   *tear*   *sniffle*  Will the day ever come when someone will stand up and proudly proclame " I CAN eat 10 saltine crackers in 1 minute withought taking a drink!!!"??? When and if that day comes, I will salute you. For you have achieved what I and other mere mortals can not...you will have done the impossible...

Vacation step-1 is now complete.  Paul is graduated ... time to fly back to Florida to complete some dental work (step-2).  Step-3 (white water rafting) is just around the corner.

This trip to Tennessee has been extremely enlightening and fulfilling.  This trip, I was able to see the spouse and "close female friends" of all three sons (ahem, for the avoidance of doubt each son had only one "significant other).  It is amazing to watch the boys (now men) grow and develop.  It is interesting to see the woman they are bonding with ... all of them very nice, very strong, very confident .... all very different.

I have good sons, every one of them.  I am so proud of them.  They have shown and proven that children from a divorce don't have to be plagued with emotional problems and aren't doomed to failure.  These guys are strong, confident, intelligent, and have a plan for their life ... they are all excelling ...  they are NOT a "statistic" ...

I can't really say it is anything I have particularly done.  I've been pretty much an absent father, and in particular the last 10 years I have been overseas.  However, I have tried to help raise my sons when I can / where I can, to give them guidance, support, and love whenever I could.  But, I think the "honor" goes to their mother ... Jeana ... I "tip my hat" to you and say .... job well done.

.... guess its time to head to the airport ... for Step-2 ... but in my heart, my focus is Step-3 as once again all four of "us guys" will be given yet one more opportunity to bond ... and I thank God for each and every opportunity .... not every father has such.

Ciao ciao.

Yea, pretty much joined this site to see Chri's gay room- lol just kidding. Cool though holmes.

I should actually be getting ready for school...BUT I TOTALLY told my dad I didn't have school today.

I hope they don't call him- PLEASE DON'T LET THEM CALL HIM.

Or I am so fucked lol.

and that's all she wrote.

I need to read at least 13 more books by June 19 (and no Powers, I'm not mocking you, it's a personal goal of mine, seriously, lol). I have 3 that are already lined up to read. Hmmm.

so basically, today was my mom's birthday.
i thought i was fine,
but apparently im not.
i know its good to cry,
but my head is killing me.

please pray for me.
i finally faced reality today.
& i feel like falling apart.
i feel somewhat deserted.
& quite strangely, scared.
scared of change,
scared of being hurt,
& scared of being lonely.

& worst of all, im sick of giving.
time & myself.

i know its all part of life;; but im just tired.


"everyone's looking around,
& wants to be found.
And im just hanging on,
i give you ALL THAT I AM.

& as a sit here,
in the midst of you,
i come to you,
i come with all that i am."


i miss her.

Hell yes Last Freaking Day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sweet!!!!!!!!! I am going to dive into summer like a pool full of icy cold jello and swim through it the salty Ocean water that I am going to dive into in less than 4 weeks!!!!!!!!!

Hello people that still read this..doubt anybody

well what to say really...

I fell out of love with dani, and now grudges are being held and friends taking sides it feels like..such a beautiful disaster really. I feel guilty about it all. I grew so selfish of her and everything around me, that it ultimately drove things away. Now I am a prarie dog with little to show. The man in the crowd with multi-colored mirrors on his hobnail boots..what a quote lol

My grandfather passed away little over a month ago. My family is doing alright we are hanging in there, and I made my peace with my Grandfather. That I have to show for.

Musically I am still wrting and practicing on guitar. Listening to everything for inspiration. To find that defninitive knack in a song. To get an extra push towards something. Picked up playing keyboard too, and just trying to get it all out in song. the one thing that I havea pleasure of battling really.

the summer is days away, and its a break I and all need. To figure out the confusion in the amidst. To mving on and not looking back, atleast not for a while. I'm truly sorry if I offend the ones I love I really do. Takes time but time is an overused word..can't think of another word to say really..Later
