¡Feliz Navidad!

Wow. This has been a crazy Christmas. I kinda want to list out what I got for christmas but I think that might be a little like bragging so it will be a secret. Unless my fans are just dying to know what I got, then maybe haha. 

I saw so much family today, it was awesome! I ate so much food today; that was awesome! haha

I'm having trouble typing this blog because I'm txting like a bajillion girls right now. But I love them so I respond immediately. :)

Anyways...My Aunt Cynthia is crashing at our house tonight. I miss her and she misses her cat ha :) 

I'm too excited to blog! Um I miss Clayton. I miss Kaitlyn. I miss Haley, Tori, Michelle, Nate, Addison, Erin, Avocado, Sara, Julia, Sammi, Sheree, Adam, Josh, Tim, Taylor, Cam, David, and everybody. But there are still people I need to see here in town. Like Hannah L. I've been trying to meet up with her and it hasn't been working. Then, we saw each other on Bryant Irvin Rd. I invited her to Chick Fil A and sh suddenly had to go get her hair done. Gee thanks, Hannah. hahahaha JK!! she wanted to come with me. 

Anyways...my sleep schedule is normal so I need a new name for my blog. I'm open to suggestions! :)

Peace out

P.S. "With a shirt like this, who needs pants?" (Yes, I got that shirt...)

Daycation.

I got a lot done yesterday. Probably because I stopped playing video games indefinitely. No big deal haha Anyways, I had a lot of stuff to do and I didn’t have any distractions. Well, Almost no distractions. Anyways, I didn’t get everything done because I still have to wrap presents. meh.

So I wanted to skype yesterday but it was messed up. It worked today except I couldn’t see Haley. We decided to use ooVoo and it worked! Yay! I miss her. And all my college friends. :) But there are still a lot of people in Fort Worth that I need to see. 

Last night I was in downtown Fort Worth. It was cool. It took forever to find a parking spot. My mom and I shopped for my dad for his Christmas gift. Then we ate at this new restaurant Cabo Grande (new favorite). I love the shrimp quesadillas. 

Speaking of love, how weird is it that I say I love shrimp quesadillas and I love God. Certainly shrimp quesadillas aren’t equal to God. But, the English language has only one word for love and we have to use ot for everything. I like how the Greek language has five different words for love; a different word for a different situation. Anyways....

Today, I played soccer at SCS with a bunch of alumni. That was really fun. Charlie Kingry is still a major jerk but whatever. Coach Hicks, who taught geometry and coached soccer during my 9th grade year, showed up. He was surprisingly in shape and really good at soccer. And he’s gonna be a dad! Congrats to him. That guy is cool. Coach Dunbar also made it and it was cool to see him. He was one of my favorite teachers at SCS and now he is a principal of a school in Colombia. He is cool too. The only other person in shape was Mitchell because he still goes to SCS and is in the middle of the season. He better be in shape. haha 

My family and I went to Dallas tonight to check out Christmas lights and go to a coffee house that my parents and brother have been to already. I got some kind of apple drink. It was good. 

My sleep cycle is officially back to normal now so that is encouraging. :)

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. I’m getting excited :) 

Xmas is Almost Here!

Hey adoring fans, I am back. I am enjoying a fun Christmas break in Fort Worth, my hometown. I have already met up with many of my close friends. 

The other night, I hung out with the college group at my church. At 7 PM, we started the Lord of the Rings trilogy Extended Edition. We finished about 7 AM. It was difficult but totally worth it. I cam home and didn’t sleep. Instead, I headed to see Narnia with some SCS friends. We went to Starbucks after and just caught up. I’m surprised we didn’t get kicked out because we were so loud. Especially Eloisa when asked about George’s (a restaurant near where she goes to college). It was an incredible experience, but after about 30 hours of being awake, I was dozing off. I headed home and my good friend Hannah drove behind me to make sure I didn’t die or anything that bad (even though it was on her way). She’s awesome.

The next morning was church. That was that. haha

Sunday night, I spent the night at Kegan’s house to hang out. We played video games, we longboarded, and we ate a lot of scrumptious food. The next night my family and I meandered around Fort Worth checking out Christmas lights. I was more jolly than Santa Claus and couldn’t stop my uncontrollable laughter; it was sublime. I was very tired by the time we got home. I wanted to stay awake for the lunar eclipse but there was no way I’d be awake by 1:30 in the morning. It almost seems paradoxical that I started off this blog as an insomniac and now I have successfully reverted to a normal sleep cycle. I wonder if I’ll have to change the title of my blog. :) 

I had a lot of mail waiting for me in my room. I was most excited for my subscription to Foreign Policy magazine. In senior year of high school, I took a class to fulfill my Social Science credit. It was called Advance World Cultures-Honors with the best teacher at SCS, Dr. Dean. We each got a subscription to this magazine and when it came every month, we would delegate different articles to the students in the class and meet up one morning for breakfast to discuss the articles and other current events. That was my favorite class that year. I loved that magazine so much, I asked for my subscription to be renewed for another year. My parents did that for me and I’m so happy for that. Thanks! I am reading the November issue and it is so nice to finally get back to this publication after about 8 months without it. 

I’m writing this blog in the parking lot of my church and we were waiting for my grandparents to get here so we can give them my brother because he is spending the night with them. I’m typing this and my Aunt Cynthia comes and greets me! This is a big deal because I haven’t seen her in years! I haven’t seen her because she has been recovering from alcoholism. She’s better! I love her so much. 

I think we are about to head to a new restaurant called Smashburger and I am so hungry. I’m getting antsy. 

I’ve been thinking a lot about myself and my college career and staffing for Summit. I really want to staff at Summit but that would almost be my whole summer. Plus, I’m wondering if I’m really mature enough to do that. I really need God right now (as always)  and my life just is not where it should be. Ugh. Pray for me, if you will.

Come, Holy Spirit. I need You. All I need is You. 

Peace out

P.S. Christmas is almost here! Also, I’m on facebook way too much. Also, I'd like to dedicate this blog post to Haley who so diligently checks to see if I have written a new post yet. Also, Smashburger was really tasty.

FunkyTown.

I'm home! Wow, it's about time. And I have a lot to type about.

I got home yesterday after driving 830 miles from GT @ATL. It wasn't that bad actually. I stopped in Meridian, MS. I got 5 hours of sleep and then was wide awake so I hit the road again. I got back around 1:30 and way in time for church. :) That night was the Fusion (youth service on Wednesdays) Christmas party. That was awesome. My best friend made the game and it was awesome. Me and him will hang out a lot in the next three weeks :)

So I'm seeing Tron tonight. I'm unbelievably excited. :) I got two pre-release tickets but I don't want to drive all the way to Dallas just to see it 4 hours before I would see it anyway. Oh well. Before that, however, I'm going to Lauren's house to watch Inception. I'm really excited about that. Then, on Friday, I'm watching the LOTR trilogy with the college group at my church. Then more plans for Saturday. This break is already turning out to be awesome. :)

My Foreign Policy magazine came in. :)

My Knockaround sunglasses finally came in. :)

I miss my GT friends already so I'm trying not think about that too much.

There's lots more to say but I don't feel like typing. :)

Peace out

P.S. If you're in Fort Worth, let's hang out.

Finals and Other Thoughts

Yep I'm studying for finals and it's disgruntling. I'll be going to Wa-Ho and Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church in a few hours. I still need to make my four pages of crib sheets for my Chemistry final. That's gonna take a while. The department of housing of GT is feeding Fitten residences free Moe's mexican food tomorrow as an apology for all the noisy and obstructive construction right next to us. I'm looking forward to that. I'm kinda upset because I;m only allowed to have a pen for my math test when my friends who have different teachers let their students have notes and/or a calculator. That makes me upset that he is being such a [derogatory name placement]. Anyways, some of my friends are experiencing drama. I thought I left that in high school but I don't mind being the guy that people come to talk to. I feel like I'm a good mediator. I love my friends even if they can be immature sometimes. I gotta forgive them because I am also pretty immature. God still has a lot of work to do on me. Praise God.

I am remembering 1 Corinthians 13 now. It starts off, "Love is patient..." I feel like maybe that's the most important one (even though they are all equally important, of course). I feel like waiting for God to let the love to work out between you and your spouse-to-be is the wisest plan of action. It's good to stay pure for that person. It's hared being patient though. For me, I know a lot of (very) beautiful, strong Christian women and I have to automatically nix any thoughts of a dating relationship with any of them; God wants me to be single until the right person is ready. The human part of me wishes that I, like my friends, could have a relationship like the one where you've got one person that is above other people in your eyes, even above yourself. A person that you want to impress. A person, that when they show you attention, can make you experience something more desirable than bliss. A person that enjoy simply being around. And thinking about that kind of relationship, I realize that's the relationship I need, want, and have with Jesus. I don't need any human to fulfill my life or to give it meaning. I don't need you, future wife. I need only Jesus. I want a relationship with a human like that but I don't need one. I'm not even anywhere near ready for that kind of relationship. I'm too weak and fragile. Too selfish. I'll be ready later in life when I am a stronger slave for Him. I know me and my wife will do great things for Him in the future so I don't want to ruin that by letting my imperfect, corrupted, and dirty self get in the way of his pure, holy, and worthy wisdom and guidance. Wow, so much to say. He is so awesome! When I start to think about dating a girl, I remember that if I wait until the moment when God is ready, all the waiting will have been worth it. That moment will be like no other, on this earth at least. Love is patient.

Peace out

P.S. I can't wait for Tuesday because I'll drive for 13.5 hours and finally be home. :) (yes I'm stopping on the way home, Mom. haha)

1 down, 11 to go.

This semester is almost over. I only have five years left :) hehehe

SO I got the TRON CD in the mail today along with the sick-awesome poster. It glows in the dark! Yay!

 I'm really excited to see it once I get back home.

Speaking of going home, I'll be doing so on Wednesday morning, a week from today, at 6:30 AM straight to FunkyTown. It's only 13.5 hours. :) Me and Pandora Radio - The Music Genome Project are gonna be best friends. Especially since I have two new Christmas music stations. On is for the classics and the other is for the comical music including the work of Bob Rivers. :) I'm in the spirit of Christmas.

I started studying for finals today. I only have two but they will be hard. Calculus 1 is on Monday and Chemistry is on Tuesday. I have a lot of studying to do seeing as I have one of the hardest Calculus classes and I can't understand one word that my Chemistry teacher says. Ugh.

Then I have three weeks of for Christmas. :D I hope to do a lot of fellowship with family and friends. I miss them all dearly. :)

I am almost done with my application for the Jesus Film Mission Trip (JMFT) in France over the summer. We will be handing out Scripture to Muslims and others as they go to and from their homes in the northern African nations. I'm psyched. :)

I'm slowly expanding my iTunes library with special thanks to http://www.vidtomp3.com. :)

I am very blessed to have this life that God gave me and that's most important I think.

Peace out

P.S. Thank you God for helping my friends and giving them the strength and wisdom to live an honorable life for your glory. :)

Welcome Back.

I think it's high time for a blog post seeing as it has been a few nights and I have a lot to write about.

Wow, where to begin!

Well, I took my Chemistry and Health tests and so now there remains only dead week and two days of finals. That's good news. I've got a lot of studying to do.

I'm really excited about coming to Fort Worth for Christmas. Tori might come with me (still a might...)! Also I am very much in the Christmas Spirit. I'm listening to the classic Christmas tunes as well as the good ol' Bob Rivers stuff (check it out). I've already had some hot chocolate from Wa-Ho. Seriously, I'm psyched. :)

Today was super fun! I caught up on the office and watched an episode of Community which is very hilarious. It's a TV show about students at a community college. I played some video games with Clayton until Tori and he watched The Beautiful Mind starring Russell Crowe. I know it's a great movie and I really want to see it (because I haven't yet - don't judge) but we are watching it in my Health class next week for extra credit so I thought I would wait until then.

Instead I met up with Erin S. from Caldwell and we headed to the student center for some W.O.W., which stands for World of Wings. It is mighty good. However, it was closed, so we decided to go to Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I love that place and Erin had only been once. That was really fun and if the ride there hadn't been so short, I would have played some more songs by Postal Service for her. She hasn't heard any of them! But I forgave her and warned her that I was about to introduce her to a whole bunch of great new music.

So something unfortunate happened. :( I got pulled over. About 30 seconds after I pulled out of the Five Guys parking lot, the cop turned on his siren & lights. After sitting in his car for about 15 minutes, he decided to come get my license and tell me that I had been driving "for a while" with my headlights off. WHAT? OH CRAP! Ugh. Stupid headlights!! The only thing that made me upset is that he thought that I was driving for a while with my headlights off. I had just pulled out onto the street! Ugh! The thing that bothers me the most is the fact that I can no longer say that I've never been pulled over, and when people ask me why I got pulled over that ONE time, I'll have to justify it and explain myself. Thanks, A. Brinn of the Atlanta PD. I guess I'm not too upset about it. So...

Me and Erin came back to Fitten and we hung out in my room looking at each others' pictures on Facebook. Then, Haley joined us after a tiring session of square dancing. It was nice to see her. After Addison FINALLY decided to join us (haha), us three watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. It's so good! Even after the first three times! So that was fun.

I can't wait to finish out this semester and even the year. I got some big plans. :)

Peace out

P.S. Team Rod plays in the Capture The Flag (CTF) tournament tomorrow. WOO!

UGH LIBRARY!

So I'm at the library right now and I hate it. A LOT! AAHHAHAHAHAHHHAA!!! :O

Ok that's better. So.....blog....eh. I'm tired.

I'm excited to be done with this semester. :D Peace out

P.S. I really hate the library.

Hey, I'm Not Dead I Promise.

Hey fans. I guess I should apologize for not blogging consistently during Thanksgiving break. I thank you in advance for your forgiveness. :)

Thanksgiving break 2010 = successful.

So, I decided to head to the airport early on Wednesday with Kaitlyn and Sara. My flight was scheduled for 7:00 PM but I was hoping to catch an earlier flight. The Tech Trolley/MARTA trip was fun. When we got there, Sara went to the bus station and Kaitlyn and I headed to the Delta desks to see about an earlier flight for me. Kaitlyn wasn’t going with me to Fort Worth (FunkyTown) but we were gonna hang out at the airport together until our respective flights left. I consulted the self-check in machine for a flight that was leaving soon. I got a free ticket change to a flight that left at 1:32 rather than 7:00. Score! but that gave me 50 minutes to get through security and to my gate. In my mind, I imagined this was impossible for a few reasons; Firstly, because the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is the most traveled day of the year (as well as the Sunday after Thanksgiving), and because of the alleged protests against obscene and aggressive TSA search methods. Kaitlyn and I headed towards the security checkpoint and to our surprise and delight, got through security in under 10 minutes. I was pretty happy. :) So I went to B21 to wait for my flight. The marquee at that gate said the flight to DFW was leaving at 2:45. Oh well! If my flight was leaving then instead of 7, that’s still a significant time gap. So I tried to board the plane, but my ticket was denied. The lady operating the ticket-checker sent me to the Help Line phone bank. On the way there, I noticed that the flight I wanted, the 1:32 flight took off from B31, not B21. I felt so stupid. That was a pretty dumb move. Anyway, the lady on the phone put me on standby for the flight for which I had been waiting. Praise God, There was a seat available. And it was in the back row! Wow! I sat in between two cool guys and slept basically the whole way to DFW, which is miraculous because for my whole life I have been physically incapable of sleeping on planes. So that was cool and the wait to get off the plane was as bad as expected. 

My mom and siblings picked me up from the airport and we headed to the Fort. Dad was working late so dinner would also be late. This allowed me to hang out at Kara’s house with Kara, Travis, Zack, Nicole, and Kara’s new puppy. :) I really want a dog. After that I ate at my house and hung out with the fam. 

Thursday was Thanksgiving. It was a happy one. It was my family, my grandparents, and a super cool couple (categorized in extended family) that live in south Texas. We ate a lot and I fell asleep. For two hours. (stupid turkey) I learned that this couple is moving to South Carolina and will be not too far from ATL. :)

Friday was Black Friday. I slept. :) I went to Garland to hang out with my cousins. It was cool because Julio started college this year and Gabriel just had an intense surgery in which he had an allergic reaction to one of the medicines the doctors used. But he’s fine now. :) For dinner, the same group that celebrated Thanksgiving went to Bosses Pizza for dinner. This place makes the best pizza I have ever consumed. I tried to set up a fun friend hang out session thing but nobody was able to make it. It’s not a big deal because I’ll be back home in three weeks and will be in the Fort for a month. :)

Saturday started with an awesome breakfast at Ol’ South Pancake House with Carson. She is definitely one of my best friends from SCS. Later, I had an awesome lunch at Fuzzy’s Tacos with Kegan, my bro. I had to clean the second floor of my house for a little bit but after that, I headed to Kegan’s where we replaced the bearings on my Loaded Dervish. We also played like Super Smash Bros. Brawl with the babies. :) Falcon Punch! haha Me and Kegan’s family went to Mellow Mushroom for good pizza. Kegan and I went to Tart Yogurt Bar on Bryant Irvin to meet up with another of my best friends from SCS, Hannah S. We hung out there for awhile and talked about fun things. We listened to a Bob Rivers Christmas parody (Chipmunks Roasting on an Open Fire) and watched a YouTube video that is super cool (search: Pretty Girl Makes Faces. however, be warned, the girl in this video curses once.). Then, Kegan and I went to downtown to shred some parking garages with our awesome longboards. The first one was really fun and Kegan handled it well for the first time. Then we went to a 15-floor garage with the Larry North fitness center at the bottom of it. If we were allowed to stay out later we would have experienced less cars and a smoother/more exciting ride. Oh well, we had fun. AFter longboarding, we watched Hot Rod (one of my favorite movies) at my house. It was nice to see my bro and best friend. I love you, man. 

Today is Sunday. I ate at Whataburger twice today, once for breakfast and again for lunch. Don’t judge. :) Church was cool except I was so tired from staying up late packing. meh. So now I’m at the airport waiting to board the plane. I’m POSITIVE I’m at the correct gate (...right? *verifies for the twentieth time*). 

There only three more weeks of this semester left: “Hell week”, “dead week”, and finals week. I’ve got two tests this week, that’s probably why they call it Hell week. I’m not ready for them. 

I already miss my FunkyTown friends and I can’t wait to see them soon. But, I do want to see my GT friends. I guess in heaven my friends won’t be all over the United States, they’ll all be in heaven (I hope); that will be nice. 

Peace out

P.S. I’ve watched a lot of movies recently. I’ve seen Gamer, Full Metal Jacket, and The Good, The Bad, The Weird. 

ADDITION:

So, this section is a recap for everything that happened since I got on the plane ‘til now. 

I watched half of Scott Pilgrim Versus the World and I really want to finish it. I had to walk all the way from the Midtown MARTA station to Fitten. THAT. SUCKED. When I got there I met with a few people. I am very happy to see them. I talked with Tori for over an hour for sure. I am so happy that she is hearing what God is telling her. I’m proud of her even if she isn’t. :) 

P.S. One day...In the faraway land of...Toronto, Canada.

In the 817, FunkyTown, homestead. It's break time. :)

It's the first night of Thanksgiving break. Too tired to blog again. Sorry.

Now Back to Our Regularly Scheduled Blogging.

So after deciding not to blog roughly 24 hours ago, I watched a movie called The Road.

It follows the lives of a father and son struggling to survive in an apocalyptical climate filled with dangers like, starvation, cannibals, bandits, and sickness. Though the movie is slower and not action-packed, it was interesting and I highly enjoyed that time. In fact, it gave me a new perspective. Even though the father did things that the boy didn't like, they usually were for the better, and the boy still loved his father deeply. This got me thinking. Even if my parents do things that don't seem rational to me, it doesn't mean they're trying to be jerks. Obviously they aren't perfect, but they love me and want the best for me. Is it to much to ask for some gratification and a non-rebellious son? No, it isn't. I love you Mom and Dad. Granny and Grandad, I love y'all too. And the rest of my family for that matter. But I definitely don't let them know enough of the time.

So that was fun. David asked me to accompany him with his friends because a friend of his was pairing him with another girl, and he wanted me to be there to make things less awkward. This way, it was more of a group thing instead of a....awkward...non-group...thing. So we got frozen yogurt and watched some episodes of The Office. That was fun. Also, I ordered pizza because I hadn't eaten anything all day. Except frozen yogurt (which David payed for, by the way).

I aught up on my bestofyoutube podcast so I have lots of suggestions for my YTvidoftheweek but I'll save those for later. :)

Today is probably the last day of class for me this week. :) yay.

Peace out

P.S. Special thanks to Blake for getting us a second pizza for free. :)

Eh...

I really don't feel like blogging right now. Sorry, fans. I'll probably blog within the next 24 hours.

Peace out

P.S. [My feelings for not writing this blog post are so intense that I don't want to or can't think of something to write here. Once again, my apologies.]

Summer Plans

Interesting Saturday.

Well since I was so awake at 8:30 AM Saturday morning, I was desperately craving some Wa-Ho breakfast. However, no one else was awake. I won't go all the way to Wa-Ho just to eat breakfast by myself. So, I took a nap; until 2:15 PM. By this point, the game was almost half done, my friends were al awake, but I still wanted to go to Wa-Ho. I went to Tori's room when she got back to Fitten and we watched an episode of a popular TV show starring Steve Carrell and and that follows the lives of a Pennsylvania-based paper company. That was fun.

Then we went to Wa-Ho!! I was super happy. Clayton, David, and Tori accompanied me. Also, the cooks made our food in under ten minutes. And gave us an extra waffle. That was awesome. :) Then we came back and I took a 2 hour nap. That was a bad idea considering I was planning staying awake 'til now so that maybe, just maybe, I could get my sleep schedule back on track. Yeah, right.

After that we organized a movie night in Michelle's room. Adam, Sheree (both PLs), Tim, Taylor, Michelle, Cam, and I all watched School of Rock (such a good movie). Kaitlyn would have been there but she's visiting family in Augusta. Anyways, I hung out in Michelle's room 'til she went to sleep.

Now I'm chillin' in my room listening to my music.

I was worried that I wouldn't have mission opportunity over the summer. After not having a mission trip this past summer, I really wanted to do one. A lot. My hometown church, Birchman Baptist Church, is hosting a summer mission trip to Japan and I thought that would be the one, but it is scheduled during session 6 of Summit (which is pretty important - don't ask). Obvi(ously), I was pretty apprehensive about going another summer without a legit mission trip. But my grandmother (Granny) reminded me of the trip she wanted us to go on. My day was lightened after that little tidbit of info was brought to light. :) So the purpose of the trip is to dispense Bibles to Muslims and others passing on to Africa through European countries. I like the concept and I'm really excited if I get to go. If you think you might be interested, you know how to contact me (ya know, the spotlight on top of the roof? the one with a bat shaped piece of wood on top of it). Yep...

Peace out

P.S. Clayton, please stop practicing/displaying your wrestling skills/moves on me. My neck hurts pretty bad. :) but seriously...

Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Delta Delta Delta Delta Alpha Delta Alpha Delta Alpha Delta Chi!

I woke up at 4 PM and have had a blast the past twelve hours. :)

I got up and chilled for like an hour and a half then got ready to go. Getting ready to go was different this time. I got to dress up. I got all my nice clothes on, including a new tie. :)

It matched Kaitlyn's dress perfectly. So Kaitlyn, Avocado (Caitlyn), and her date, Phil, and I went to Willy's Mexicana Grill for dinner. It was super good as always. While I was sitting outside waiting for my pals to join me, I prayed to God for my food, a pretty normal occurrence for me. When I started to eat, the dreadlocked man sitting near me said, "Sir, that simple act of gratitude is very appreciated!" At first I was confused but then I realized what he was talking about. That was a nice guy. Anyways, The four of us discussed our life plans and then our high school experiences. It was pretty fun, nay, very fun. :) Then we headed to a tiny art gallery that featured photography of student's in a program that sheltered "at risk" children in the Atlanta area. Four of these students were there to talk about their lives. It was a cool idea. We were at a semi-formal being held by the sisters of A∆X. It was really fun and we danced to music cleaner than there previous event that I was so luckily able to attend (the Black & White). I only two of the songs: Here (In Your Arms) by Hellogoodbye and Dynamite by Taio Cruz. But it was fun.

After the semi-formal wound to an end we were not content to call it a night. So, we headed to Regal Atlantic Station to catch the popular new movie about a wizard (crap...what was it called??) Anyways, I haven't seen any of the prequels so I wasn't privy to the context but I still enjoyed myself; it was a good production. In fact, I kinda can't wait for the next one to come out...oh crap. Not me! NO! 

Don't worry, I'm not getting anywhere near that band-wagon. However, I am looking forward to that marathon of said prequels with Brittany M. over Christmas break. :) 

So the movie was over and I was really hungry but the consent of the car load was to head home. Man, I really want some Wa-Ho (Waffle House, for you non-Techies). In fact, I'm gonna get some in a few hours. :) 

I haven't skyped my family in awhile... :(

Peace out

P.S. Caitlyn is super fun to be around :)

Oops. My bad.

So I didn't write a blog last night because I was toot tired.

I had a good day yesterday. Well, kind of...

I took a math test and I feel ok about it (which means I probably did terrible on it). I finished most of my lab report but did lab in about an hour. :)

I came back to Fitten in time to go to West Side with Julia and her friend Rachel (who is super bubbly and nice). Then we came back in time to eat cake, melt a styrofoam plate, eat cookies, and drink hot chocolate. It was a great night in the first floor kitchen. :) I left just in time to get to the game which we won because the other team forfeited. I was hoping to play our last game but we just played against ourselves and that was pretty fun. Then I came back to Fitten and played one game of ninja. I did a cartwheel as one of my moves and eventually won the game. :) I would have stayed but Nate got the pre-release Bonghra (Dancer 2.0) so we had to celebrate. We went to the lame on-camous parking garage. I tried to learn how to slide but couldn't nail it. Oh well, I had fun anyways. Then I came back and hung out with friends. I almost fell asleep on the floor of someone else's room but somehow found strength to come back here with all my stuff. I slept from 2:30 AM to 4:00 PM; that's 13.5 hours, the amount of time it takes to drive from Atlanta to Fort Worth (my hometown). Now I'm up and getting ready for a semi-formal. :) A∆X is going to some art gallery and I got invited. It's gonna be super fun.

So Connor got accepted to Georgia Tech. I knew he was but it is still exciting to hear the news. GT will welcome his gingerness. :) I have to say I'm stoked. Hopefully things work out so that he can attend here. :) But once again, I should hope for God's will, not mine. Anyways...

I ordered the Daft Punk soundtrack for Tron the other day and in that package, I get a huge poster of Dat Punk. AND IT GLOWS IN THE DARK. Haha, yea, I'm excited.

So that' what's been up recently; stay interested.

Peace out

P.S. I'm getting excited to be back in FunkyTown in less than a week. :)

Oh Crap.

So I've got a Math test tomorrow and a lab report to start and finish tomorrow. :/ ugh. I know I can do it, but my work ethic is terrible. That's why I'm writing this blog so early; so that I can get to some more important things, like studying. ugh.

So on the lighter side of things, I played 2.5 hours of soccer today: an hour and a half of indoor at the CRC and an intramural game at the SAC fields. I played goalie. Wow, I'm really rusty. But I had lots of fun. The Fitten Kittens did a fantastic job. :)

So, a few days ago, I had absolutely no music on iTunes except the Andy Stanley messages that came from the Bible Study book that we use for CityGroups at the BCM. But, I recalled a program called Senuti (that's iTunes spelled backwards). This program can rip the files from an iPod/iPhone and store them on an iTunes library. I ran this program and got all the music and movies off my 6-year-old 80 GB iPod. Now I am happy because that music is now on my iPhone and iPod nano now. :) Yay.

Man I really need to study for that test.

I skyped with one of my best friends, Katie yesterday, but the connection kept dropping and it made me super sad. :( I miss her and will hopefully get to see her over Thanksgiving break, her and 'the gang'. :) Also, I would be able to see her tomorrow for the Needtobreathe concert but I can't go that because I'm going to the A∆X semi-formal with Kaitlyn. That's gonna be super fun and I'm really excited. I even got a new tie and it's really legit. Well, it's alright; it's not a bow-tie or anything. ;)

Ok I'm done for tonight/this morning.

Peace out

P.S. What is this? I'm king of the trees; I'm the tree-meister.

Back to normal. :)

Wow. What a roller coaster.

I woke up at about noon today. That felt pretty good. I studied for my math test so intently that I forgot to go to math class...oops. hehe After my math studying, I filled out my Summit app. :) That was really fun. It made me excited. However, as soon as I started to complete it, God convicted me of making my own plans. Right then and there I had to pray for not my will, but His. That was a hard prayer. Most of you know how badly I want to staff at Summit. But if God wants me to be a student again, then I need to be content with his will. Ugh that's tough. Oh well. I just gotta remember that His Will is gonna bring about the most glory for Him, and that's what matters. Then I went to my other classes and possibly made another new best friend. Dan/Danny Grisell is in my Chemistry recitation but just so happens to be super awesome and drives a car almost as cool as he is. A few of y'all know what I'm talking about. Well, maybe just Haley.

So me and a pal have some communication issues but after a midnight Krispy Kreme run, everything is settled and I'm super happy about that. :D Seriously, this Friday is gonna be legit. :)

I have a math test and a crazy lab report on Thursday. meh.

Peace out

P.S. Clayton is so pro. ;)

Back on Track...crap.

So I'm writing at my 'normal' time. It's only 1 AM though; not too shabby.

My Monday wasn't too bad. I woke up from sleeping 21 out of 25 hours and felt blissful. I went to class then finished up with dinner at the Student Center with Kaitlyn and Shrimp/Cam. Then the SWE Date Auction started. Clayton was in it. The audience begged him to sing and he sang like a pro. So pro. Haha.

After that was CityGroups which was good as usual. Jarrett has a cool jacket that matched way too well with what I was wearing.

Then, I was at the library with Tori and Clayton. That was fun because I just goofed off. :)

I'm now the father of the Fitten Family. More on the family dynamics later.

I'm sleepy which is good but I'll be awake for awhile I assure you.

Tori, I hope you understand. ;) haha

Peace Out

P.S. Hannah, this is why I reacted to 'alot' the way I did. :) Enjoy.

Whoa. Wait a minute...

I'm writing this post in the middle of the day because, get ready for this, I was asleep last night! Yea. I know. Wanna know why? I was asleep because I pulled an all-nighter the night before. I took a nap from 1-9 PM, ate dinner, then by 10:30 was asleep again. Randomly I was awake from 3-5 AM but was back to my hard sleep til 12 PM. What is going on with my body?! I have to say, it was nice being asleep at (for most of) those early hours. So that's why I'm writing for you now, because I missed last night's/this morning's scheduled blog post. So here goes.

Clayton, Tori, and I went to Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church and that was cool. Our class sat in on a different class. They were discussing Jehovah's Witnesses. I have to admit that I was a little rusty about the JW. The last time I learned about these guys was in Mr. Chappel's Bible class. In high school. Yea. So that was really interesting. Then we came back. I grabbed some lunch at Woody's with Clayton and Erin, then headed back to Fitten. And I slept for 8 hours. Dang.

Then I went to Woody's with Kaitlyn, two girls who I just met, Adam, Sheree, and another person that I just can't remember. Sorry. Then I ended up at Fitten looking for a place to sleep. My roommate was doing hw with a buddy and that's fine. No worries. So then I slept from 10:30 basically til a few hours ago. :D It feels good. Hopefully (or not), I'll be awake at my "regular" hours so I can type to you at my normal time. Anyways...

Peace out

P.S. I still think you're awesome, Kaitlyn; stop thinking oppositely.

Wasted a Saturday. :)

Hey fans.
Yesterday was Saturday and I didn't do anything constructive. It was awesome. Haha

Because I didn't do much today, I don't have much to write about. I do have some things on my mind though.

Me and Clayton are really good friends now so that's cool. Hi Clayton.

I got to play Quelf with Kaitlyn, Cam, and his girlfriend, Rachel (who is really awesome.) Seriously, They are so perfect for each other. But I'm not God so I don't decide who's perfect for each other and who isn't. Anyways, she is really cool. However, Kaitlyn wasn't very cooperative in our game. :P It's ok, I forgive her. :)

Right now I'm watching GIJOE in Clayton's room and I don't know where everybody went. Haha

I guess since I'm running out of things to write about I think I'll start something; Maybe a YouTube video of the week or quote of the week. Hm I like the idea of that.

Peace out.

P.S. Me and Clayton are gonna memorize Phillipians 4. :)

Fun Friday.

Today was great. :) Seriously.

Wow, where to begin. I'm still excited about my Summit application.

Today, I drove my new bro, Clayton to pick up one of my friends and he paid me for gas money so that was awesome. (Clayton, poops is with God now.) Yep, Anna is cool. Too bad she attends U-GA (pronounced you-gay). We stopped at Zaxby's on the way back and that was pretty cool. Us three and Haley went to Atlantic Station and played an epic game of tag, which I initiated. :) We met up with Tori, Jess-ca and Jess-ca's bf from UF, Kjirsten. Yes; Kjirsten (the 'j' is silent). That was fun. We got back and hung out for awhile and then watched When in Rome. It was cheesy at times but had a good ending. Then, Kaitlyn, Erin, Clayton, Anna, and I went on a midnight run to Wa-Ho for some breakfast. That was adventure.

It's now 4 AM and I'm 80% sure I've got insomnia. Awesome. I think I'm going to change the name of my blog to "Introspections of an Insomniac." It's alliterate and accurate (see what I did there?).

I don't want to do homework later today (game day) but I have to. Cool beans. Maybe me and Clayton can do some work together at the library. Maybe he'll write another blog post. I confiscated the poster announcing Julia's play (The Count of Monte Cristo) and I'm gonna get her to sign it. :)

I txted Brittany E. a lot today. That was awesome. I miss her. :)

Peace out.

:)

P.S. Anybody have any prayer requests?

ARE YOU READY TO WEEKENNNNDDD?!?!

It's Friday. Yay. :)

I got my Summit staff application in the email today! :DI'm suer excited! I'm praying that they choose me. I REALLY want to staff at Summit. If you don't know what Summit is you need to sign up now. Like now. No seriously, click this link: http://www.summit.org/conferences/student/colorado/. It is 200% worth it. If they don't choose me, I'll just be a student again; no worries.

I saw Julia's play tonight: The Count of Monte Cristo. Let's just say that I now want to read the book. Seriously, this was such a great performance. Congrats to Julia and the cast & crew. :)

I did really well in my lab today. In fact, I finished in about an hour and therefore I was able to make it to health class (yea, long story on that one...).

Overall, it was a good day. Peace out.

P.S. Can someone come get Mr. Bubbles out of my room now? No Clayton, not Mr. Balloon-Hands. That is all.

mmmmmm.....pass me some of that blog soup.

Wow. A second blog entry. I know you are very proud.

So today I went to class and took notes; the whole shabang. It was the uszh (the usual). However, today was Wednesday. On Wednesdays, Haley and I go to Clarkston to tutor refugees that are organized by Coach Luma. In this community, they play soccer and excel in academics. Some have only recently emigrated and know no English. Yea; this is pretty intense stuff. I was pretty tired today, so it was hard to help my buddy with math today. Oh well, I hope he understands it better. So that was fun.

I came back and ate dinner with Erin, Haley, Sara, Elizabeth, and Kyle. They are pretty awesome. However, Erin didn't know any of them before and now she's getting acquainted with the Fitten community. Good for her. :)

I got to see Shrimp today. That was nice. I miss that bro*.

I pirated a song today. Arrgh.

I watched Defiance on Netflix. That is an amazing movie. It also has a good film score. mmmmm...film scores. Erin likes film scores.

Well, that is all, my faithful fans. Until next time...

P.S. Clayton is awesome. He knows why.

*Cameron has pledged to the Christian frat on campus so I'm hoping he's not actually an authentic bro. Man, I hate bros.**

**Dear Cam,
If you decide you're a bro, I can make an exception to my dislike of the bro community. ;)
Peace out.

Blog 1.0

Hi numerous fans.

haha yeah right...

So this is my first blog! I know, I know, I think this whole concept is pretty lame but Clayton (http://www.cperry32.blogspot.com) has inspired me and I'm sure millions are dying to know what makes me tick. Maybe they will in the future...hey...maybe people are reading this from the future RIGHT NOW! Well obviously they are... (see what I did there? hehe) So here begins my habit of scribing the interesting things that happen to me from day-to-day. Will you at least pretend to be interested? Thanks; you're a doll.

So, I just found out that, after the budget for all of Georgia's schools was decreased, UGA now has engineering classes for "those that can't get into Tech." No comment.

Since this is my first blog and many will read this because they think I'm so interesting, I need to have something meaningful here.........crap.

P.S. come onnn..........anythinggg......I give up. :/

P.S.P.S. nope; this didn't work either...
