| Yeah so anyway....(that long pause was summer)...my ipod is kinda cool; don't use it enough, but I'm sure I will once school starts.
Next week is back to DBU week and SWAT. I'm a small group leader with miranda, so if you happen to be lucky enough to get in our group...congratulations you win a cookie.
Do you ever stare down the blank corridors of time wondering what conundrums will befall us?......................................yeah me neither.
Another crazy technological mishap. I knocked a huge tv off my dresser and it landed on my laptop! Cracked the screen!
Well that's all that befalls my apparently inadequate brain at the moment, just felt like typing something. | | |
| I finally got a new Ipod. Brand spankin new. And I didn't pay a dime for it. A guy at school works for Apple and he took my cracked one and got it replaced under warranty. (I was doing military presses and I set an 80 pound dumbell on my pant pocket which inevitably crushed my fragile little weak nano.) So, I pretty much just had the best workout of my life with my new theme music. lol
Finals this week...then I'm done. Crazy how just a few days can make or break your semester. I was thinking about just skipping out on finals and not worrying about it.
Check out this song from Rascal Flatts new cd...it's the best:
Cool Thing - Rascal Flatts
We were wrapped up in a blanket
Red wine buzz kickin in
A little Sarasota moonlight
Driftwood fire burnin'
She was on break from Ohio State
And I was down there
Selling parasail rides
Just another Summer day
'Till I strapped her in
and watched her fly
Chorus:
Talk about a sunset
All I could see were purples and reds
And Her silhouette waving good-bye
She didn't come there lookin' for love
And the cool thing was
Neither did I
Neither did I
She dipped down in the water
As I slowed down
Holding that line
Wet t-shirt on a two-piece
We ditched that boat
And hung outside
We walked ankle deep in ocean
You know that place where footprints disappear
Just like that evening she drove away
It'll be burned in my mind for a million years

| Ok enough sadness. Thanks for all ya'lls thoughts and prayers... Let me tell ya'll about Florida.
I flew out with Jordan tuesday and met up with James and Douglas in Ft. Lauderdale.
We played on the beach for awhile, but then had to attend to James locking the keys in the car.
This is looking out the back porch where we stayed in Naples. Palm Trees were everywhere.
The next day we got up early and headed for Ft. Myers beach where they had alot of spring break parties going on. The sand was great, we played volleyball with tennessee chicks, rode jet skis, and got really sunburnt.
The next day we decided to head to the Keys and go snorkeling. We drove all the way to Key Largo and made it just in time for our appointment. The tour went for about five hours out on a boat and let everyone snorkel on three different reefs. Us on the boat waiting to head to sea:
This is the crystal blue water we were in...
Here's a shot of the reefs. There aren't any beaches back at the shore because all the sand hits the reefs. We saw Sharks, clownfish, Barracudas, and all kinds of other rainbow fish.
The weather was perfect and the boat ride was incredible.
We were wet and cold afterward, but it was worth it.
It was a Long and Winding Road home, but I drove from Tallahassee, Fl. to Alexandria La. going like a 100 mph so we made up time we lost going through Tampa Bay traffic.
It was a blast, but now I don't want to go back to school and have to start studying again.lol

| Virda Mae Norris passed away today at 12:45 pm. Not a second passed by before she was in the presence of the Lord our God.
To my Grandma,
Ever since I can remember you have been in my life and have always been there for me. You always told me about the first time I came over and spent the night with you. You said that when I woke up in the morning next to you I looked over and giggled. While I can’t quite remember that far back, I would say that definitely would be the way I felt for years to come. You were so much fun, Grandma. Even when I was little you were always encouraging me and never doubting me. No matter what, I always wanted to go to your house and spend time with you.
You were always at my birthday parties and for Sunday dinner you would make your wonderful chocolate bar cake. It just wasn’t a birthday without that. While there was so much craziness with all the little kids around, you were always sitting there laughing calmly at our silliness. Several times we would want to spend the night with you and mom and dad would say no. We would immediately turn to you and tell you to convince them to let us stay. You would laugh and tell them that we should spend the night and you would bring us home in the morning. All the times at chuck e cheese and pizza, the movies, and so much more, you put up with us and treated us like kings. Remember that time we went to see the movie Twister? We had gone to church with you on Sunday evening and had hung out with friends. You immediately asked if they could go with us to the movie. I don’t know any grandmas that are willing to do so much for their grandkids.
All the Christmas eves we’ve spent at your house have been incredible. Thank you so much for having us all over and always being so cheerful and loving. You always knew exactly how to do everything. I loved it that you came over to our house and spent the night and we would wake up and run into the living room to see Santa’s gifts while you, dad, and mom looked on.
Thank you so much for being the loving mother and mother-in-law to my parents. I have an incredible dad and I know that you raised him wonderfully. You have been such a godly woman and a great example to me. Seeing God’s faithfulness in you has been such a blessing in my life. You have never been afraid of life or death. With everything I’ve seen you go through, you have been strong and joyful.
Grandma, I want to thank you for caring about me. Every time I would come inside your house you would ask about me and how I was doing. When I sit here and think about just how much love and selflessness you showed me it brings me to tears. I never realized how blessed I was to have such a wonderful grandma as you. I am not deserving of anything, yet God placed you in my life to be a constant joy and love. I can’t imagine life without you grandma. I wish you could meet my future wife and kids, I know they would love you. But I will tell my kids about the incredible grandma I had. You have shown me more love in 20 years than one could give in a thousand. I will see you again. I can’t wait till the time when we stand praising God together. Sweetest Grandma, I love you so much and will miss you more than I can ever express in words.

| Does this meaning anything to you?
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah , blah...
Hmmm. me neither.
Ok, with that off my chest. I will procede to tell you a story...
Once there was a toad. He was very sincere. Heck, the poor guy was gullible too. He wore a shirt, but had no pants...but don't worry, this is acceptible to his kind. Anyway, one day he hopped on down to the creek. I'm not sure why he was in such a hurry, but you could see the anxiety in his bulging black eyes. "Croak, I gotta get there," he said repeatedly; only loud enough for himself to hear. Well when he did get there a look of surprise came upon his face. Ok ok, I know you want me to tell you what he was doing down at the creek. But it's not that simple. It's not that simple at all. You see, the toad himself didn't know why he was there. If fact, it was imparted to him in a dream that he shouldn't go to the creek on this very day. Yet, even with this warning, the toad had managed to still make his way to the creek; and in a speedy fashion nonetheless. So the toad, being the gullible slimy little creature he was, heeded the advice of a turtle. WAIT just a darn cold second. What turtle? Well, you see, that's just it. There was a turtle there by the creek. The turtle had just told the toad, "look buddy. You really need to just take a chill pill and float on down the creek. There are lots of fine restaraunts with refined food and stuff. You'll be happy. The only thing I ask for in return is your shirt." Like I said before the toad heeded this and after giving the turtle his shirt he plunged into the creek. So here I am watching a naked toad float mindlessly down the creek singing his croak song. THE END
Here's a perfect example of the difference in Guys and Girls interpersonal communication: (some of this isn't exact, i'm trying to remember it.)
Gathered around Rachel on the couch.
Rachel: So then he kissed me.
Monica: Was it passionate?
Rachel: Well he ran his hands through my hair. At first it was just powerful, but then it was more gentle.
Pheobe: Tell us more...
Standing around the table eating pizza.
Chandler: So you kissed her?
Ross: mmmhm.
Joey: Tongue?
Ross: Yep.
Joey: Cool. | | |
