Hi

Not too much to report from me. Everything is going pretty well. I'm still pretty busy from school and work but I'm getting used to that. I hope everyone else is doing well. Bye y'all.

Weekend Update

Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day......I drank beer and gave ladies of all ages many many high fives. Today I worked and got Dad some free gifts courtesy of Fastenal. Tomorrow I will go to church with Laura and do some homework. I will now attempt to go find some lunch. Happy Saturday everyone !

Another Day.....

Today was pretty normal. I Hit the snooze button once more than normal......yeah I'm livin' on the edge. I went to work. I worked. I came home. That's about it. Now I'm just listening to my cd's that I bought yesterday and playing some euchre online. I'm pretty bored tonight and don't feel like doing homework so I guess that will wait until the weekend. I think I'll go to bed early tonight. I am very tired. I don't enjoy getting up at 5:30 in the morning but I guess that's part of the job.

In other news the Pistons beat the Bulls last night and clinched a playoff spot. So we can all look forward to a fun post-season. Does anyone think we'll get to see the Tigers in the post season anytime soon? How cool would that be......the last time they won a world series I was 2 months old.

Alright that's all I have for now.....I'm going to go crash on my bed. Happy Friday tomorrow !

My Day

I'm just hanging out in Toledo over my break. It's not that bad with no one else here. I've been over at the church the past two nights so that has been keeping me busy. On Tuesdays a few college kids get together and have a bible study and just talk about whatever. I really enjoy it and get a lot out of it. Tonight they had a service at the church so I went to that. I must say I miss the music from back home but it was a nice service anyhow.

Today I went to the mall and got a hair cut, a raspberry julius, Bob Seger's Greatest Hits 2, and The Temptation's Ultimate Collection.....both Cd's we're in the 2 for $22 bin and I love both so I couldn't pass it up. Then I decided I'd swing on over to Guitar Center and play some of their acoustic guitars. I like going into their little room and playing guitars that cost over 2000 dollars. It felt good not to be the least talented guitarist in the room but then I tried playing the banjo like the odd-looking kid in "Deliverance" but it didn't work out so well. Then I plugged in one of the electric guitars to like a 300 hundred dollar amp that did all sorts of cool things......how do I know it did cool things you ask ? Because it has 5 different settings you can put it on. They are as follows: Clean, Blues, Metal, Crunch (yes crunch), and the winner of them all INSANE. I tried them all and the insane setting is exactly that......it doesn't even sound good.......it sounds like static mixed with someone stepping on bubble wrap. Also this amp had an echo and a delay setting that made whatever you were playing sound pretty cool. I hadn't changed my strings on my guitar in about 4 years until about 3 weeks ago. Dad bought me some new strings on his way home from Georgia and man does it sound better.

After my Guitar Center adventure I went to a place called Plato's Closet......it's like a pricey version of Goodwill. You don't pay full price but you don't get super great deals either......I ended up buying 3 shirts. Two American Eagle shirts and one Tommy Hilfiger shirt. Just what I need more shirts.......I think I might try and take some clothes I don't want back to this place.....they said if they are acceptable they'll give you some money for them. I'll have to look into that.

Then I came home and ate some sloppy joes that Mom had sent with me and went to church......and that was my day.

Hmmm what else? Oh I had a dream that the country group Rascal Flatts had a concert at Grafton Inn and I missed it. I was so upset because I knew that it would probably never happen again. I'm glad it was just a dream.

I think that's all I have for now........I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week !

3, 2, 1.........

Chauncey dribbles at the top of the key and runs down the clock as the pistons hold for the last shot 10, 9, 8, 7.........he works to the right a bit 7, 6, 5.......you can see Rip Hamilton running and coming off screens and he curls as Chauncey dishes it off to him 3, 2, 1.........Rip lets it fly.............and swish !!!!!!!!!! Pistons go up 98-96 with 0.2 seconds left on the clock and they go on to win a well fought game against Seattle. What a game they played last night. The game had somewhere around 20 lead changes and about 8-10 times where the game was tied.......it was pretty close the entire game and the better team came out on top. We are now 48-10. Way to go guys !

In other news....I am finally on break ! WOOHOO........I'm so glad to be done with school for a week. I only have to go into work for 3 days this week so I'll have Monday and Wednesday to do whatever I want. Maybe catch up on sleep.....maybe go see a movie....who knows.

Well I'm going to go watch some golf with pops. Catch y'all later.

It's March

We are 1/6 of the way done with 2006.....and I believe only 1/6 of my brain is able to function right now. Hopefully after today I will see a light at the end of the tunnel as far as school work goes. I just want to have a day where I don't have to do anything.....no class, no homework, no work work, just relax and enjoy myself......soon enough I suppose but for now, time to keep working......well I'm off to class. Have a great day everyone!
