I stopped writing in my updated journal which I started last year. It became something horrible that I am not ashamed of enough to discard, but I had to at least discontinue writing it. But I am too thirsty to write to stop completely, so here is the secret link for you to find my new journal. I will try to be more disciplined and responsible with this journal than the ones in the past.http://

The realization has begun. College is over for good. This journal that I have kept for these four odd years has served me well in maintaining an outlet for me to relieve my jumbled thoughts. I've grown up quite a bit. I'm doing adult things now that I never would have foreseen when I wrote the first word on this blog as a freshman. It's just funny to look back sometimes and remember the troubles

That was a great weekend. I would love to elaborate on every detail as to why it was such a great weekend, but I'm exhausted right now. I'm about to crash. But church yesterday was great and Linzy got back home last night and we spent a good while with each other. I guess I haven't really let any of you know yet, but Linzy is my girlfriend. We haven't been dating for very long and our meeting was

I'm up way later than I should be. I need to sleep, but I can't. I've got way too much on my mind. I know it's bad when I start cleaning. It's 1am and I just finished cleaning the bathroom. Short choppy sentences, also an indicator. Let me calm down a little bit and try to articulate this.Dealing with uncertainty is and always has been one of the hardest opponents for me to face. I like to know

I've been playing a lot of music lately, at least a few hours every day. My fingers hurt for the first time in years as I keep mashing them up and down the neck of my guitar. My voice hurts from singing and my feet can't stop tapping out a beat. I miss my guitar. I haven't been as good to her as I should.I'm really tired tonight even though I didn't work that hard. I need to try my best to get

I'm so confused this morning. My dreams keep disassembling everything that I'm trying to hold together. I can't sleep well at night. I'm getting ready for work now while I contemplate the cowardice of perhaps if only work is hard enough I won't have to think about the things on my mind. I shouldn't be surprised. This is only what I asked for.At my very core I want to be an honorable man. I want

Sat down a few hours ago and almost wrote out a journal that was a little too personal. I looked it over for a while and decided that sometimes we are better off when we don't tell the world our exact thoughts. In summary though, I had a rough day. Physically my job is very demanding, but today my head was swimming and busy and just messed up. I got messed up by one of my mentors. He gave me a

Sometimes I get these cravings to do something completely random and adventurous for at the very least, something to write about. I can't say that what I did today was extraordinarily adventurous, but it was a start for sure. I woke up rather early and started working on my bike before I made my first long trek. I decided to go to the Natchez Trace Parkway and ride into the countryside. It was a

Okay, so I have to write more. I have a lot on my mind and this is the only thing I know to do when that happens. I found myself thinking a lot today between job commands. I ended up working a 12 hour day, which is great, but it was hard too. Anyways. I talked to several people, just asking them what was up in their day and I got a lot of heavy responses of great and sad things. I must say I love

It's my lunch break. It is also three o'clock. So I'm home right now trying to digest a McDonald's #2 and I thought I would write a few things down while I am here.First!I got off of work yesterday and took a shower. I was going to be hanging out with a girl I met not too long ago named Linzy. So I showered and got out and noticed a funny sound coming from Viking's room, sorta sounded like a

There it is. There's that moment I was waiting for. The reflective stage of moving on. I haven't really had much time for it until tonight. It has been a time mostly of celebration and love, but reflection, for me, is deepest found in moments of isolation. I went on a ride tonight through the back roads of Nashville, thinking as I was driving. It was too beautiful of a night to pass up. The cool

I wanted to make this a long journal, but I feel really sick right now. It's a really bad headache. But anyways, I graduated today. This officially closes out my college career and the title of this journal. I've been writing now for almost four years for well over 500 posts and probably well over a thousand pages of history made. It was great, though I felt a little impatient. It was nice to

I woke up this morning a few minutes early to attend men's Bible study with Mitch. I got there and thankfully they had coffee, so I managed to wake up. But I had to be at work right after I got there, and today was going to be a long day. I'm pretty tired right now. It was hot outside, and even though I didn't work out in it, I still got zapped.Something has me anxious too. I don't know what it

Just a couple more days until I graduate. I haven't really been thinking much about it other than... what Belmont could spring on me at the last minute in order to screw things over for me. But I've checked with them three times now and it's all systems go. I feel pretty good about everything. Not only am I graduating finally, but I also have a job waiting for me when I'm done.

Not much to do right now. I've been surfing the internet, but I don't really go but between facebook, friend bloggs and e-mail. The internet is boring to me. I guess there's not really much that I want to know right now. I'm listening to a really good band that I didn't know I had. They're called Mae. I have the music up pretty loud and I'm the only one home. I feel pretty strong today. I feel

Sometimes I get into these positions where the people around me have great things happen to them and then I start thinking about myself and what is missing. I feel lacking, like I don't have as many important things to say, or maybe I'm not as considerate, or maybe I'm not as attractive. I know it's stupid to feel like that. I don't know why I still have a problem with it, but I have a feeling

I haven't eaten dinner yet and I suppose I should, but I've been immersed in something amazing. I'm not talking about love, but it has a few of the same side effects. I'm not going to say much about it right now as a few things have yet to fall into place. Keeping my fingers crossed though...It's been nice not having a TV for the past few days. Mitch is moving out with Jason right now and he took

Just got done cleaning my room. I was trying really hard to get rid of stuff that I've been holding onto for years for the simple reason that they remind me of something specific. I'm trying to let go of those idols. I can write and I can develop a memory, but being a pack rat isn't very wise, at least, I don't personally find it to be a good idea. It's mostly just a waste of space. I have a much

I've been worked pretty hard this week, but I still like it. I will be looking forward to my first real paycheck this coming week, but I'm still a little unsettled. I don't know how long the company plans on keeping me as a contracted employee. I would much rather be hired up full time (duh), and I've heard whispers from some of the supervisors that I'm seriously being considered. The problem

I've never written so many journals in such a short period of time, but I feel like I really need to write. I just got off of work early today because I will be spending the rest of it in class. This only happens on Tuesday, so it's not so bad. But I was wiring an electronics gear rack today. It's a big box where different electronic equipment sits. I don't know how else to describe it.

So that's a confirmation. I was reading a book yesterday that talked about Adam and Eve. It suggested that Adam may have been alone for up to 90 years before God saw that he was lonely and so he created Eve so that they might complete each other. But during that time, Adam lasted those long years with the relationship he had with God and with the task of naming the animals. That's a lot of

I ran Front of House sound today at church for the first time ever. It was weird. I felt out of practice. I think it went well though, considering I haven't done anything to that scale before. I mean this isn't your average church sound system. This system serves as one of Nashville's largest music venues during the week. That means we have to set everything up in the morning, make sure it all

I was in and out of a discouraging funk today. I want adventure, but it doesn't seem like anyone else around me is interested. I think I'm going to have to go back to the old days when I just did stuff by myself. I'm not saying always, but sometimes I just need to get out and do something crazy.Right now I feel like my life can be summed up pretty much in two categories. Either it's working, or

Just took one more dose of nyquil. I felt fine most of yesterday but then today it kicked in pretty hard while I was at work. I just had a lot of cold sweats is all. I'll get to sleep in tomorrow which is going to be great.I found out today that I don't get paid for another week. That makes me a bit sad, but I think I can make it. I hope I can make it.Sunday I'll be running front of house at

I got really sick yesterday and early this morning I didn't feel too great. I had a fever and a pretty bad headache, but I still went to work. Right now I just have a headache, so I'm fine. I also had my Ipod stolen out of my tool box today at work, right out from under my nose. I couldn't have been more than 20 feet from it when it happened. But these things do happen.

Do you ever have a very specific need that you need a very specific person to listen to? I'm having that right now, and I'm missing that very specific person. I can talk to my friends about a lot of things and they will listen, but you don't go to the black smith to have him sew you some cloths... meaning, not everyone is a professional on every issue.Gosh, just give me some time.

I'm so confused tonight about a lot of things. I mean I'm not really surprised that I'm confused. I'm just confused. I've never had so much uncertainty in one sitting before.I must confess to being extraordinarily tired tonight though. I know I say that a lot, that I'm tired, but I'm just physically spent in every sense of the word. I've been working pretty hard, and after work, I go work out,

I'm going to jump around a bit from topic to topic, so stay with me.Work is good. It's stimulating. I'm not in the service industry anymore and it is breathtaking... in a good way. I get to construct things, to fulfill my desire to create. At the end of the day I can look back and say "That's what I did today", and I'm simultaneously gaining experience in my career. That's great!I've been

The first day on the job today was great. I'm still really wet behind the ears, but I seem to have maintained a proper understanding of hierarchy and freshman mentality. This keeps me off of other people's toes. It was exhausting though. Not necessarily the work I was doing, but just paying attention to every little detail. I'm trying to learn very quickly something that has taken these guys many

I've been writing a lot of new songs. I just recorded one tonight and, though I'm still happy with the song, I'm not happy enough with the recording to release it yet. Things are good in life right now though. I mean, I don't really see myself complaining about anything right now. I remember I heard a sermon on that once. We should never live life as if our ideal moment was not having anything to

This is just so strange. I can't be too detail specific right now, but I never expected something like this to arise. What wisdom do I have to make these kinds of decisions, what strength? I only pray that I can be quiet and observant enough to receive the answers to my questions.For any one who was wondering, life has this fantastic consistency to be inconsistent and unpredictable despite all

Just got in from a pretty rough past few days. I've been trying to sleep better, but it hasn't exactly worked out as well as I had hoped. I vaguely remember going through phases like this before, and I guess I'm just going to have to wait it out. Eventually my body will be too tired to NOT sleep well. Helping that process lately has been work. I've been working my tail off for the past four days

I woke up this morning a bit confused. I've been having a really difficult time sleeping for the past two months, and now I'm so tired I'm finally willing to do something about it. I took two tylonol pm last night before i went to bed hoping that it would knock me out for the entirity of the night. Didn't work. I woke up in the middle of the night simply feeling drowsy and in the midst of a

My mind was spent today in settling around what all has just happened in my life. What does it all mean? I'd like to think that getting a job is the final solution to all of my problems, but they will only increase after this, that's for sure. I think of it sort of like standing in line at a theme park. I've been in this line to get to the tallest waterslide in the park and it's hot and it

Some crazy events happened today:I drove to Raleigh and visited with my sister.I looked around the town at neat places, some of which I might choose to live near.(I took it as a sign, literally, when I went to "Cameron Village" by taking "Smallwood Rd". That's two people that I know from Belmont...)I carefully considered my futureI quite possibly got a job doing that thing I've been studying all

I've never been too fond of the drive from Nashville to High Point, or the other way around. I set off yesterday at about 11:30, though, to once again make the trek. But it wasn't as bad as it usually is. I've had a really hard time keeping time in an actual frame. I can't remember what day it is, nor can I even predict what time it might possibly be. This can be a useful tool when driving. If

I was floating in the pool tonight, completely tuned out of the social interaction happening around me. I was just floating and thinking, looking up at the cloudy night sky. It's ambiguous in a way. You can't tell what is cloud and what is empty space except for the occasional star to break the secret. But "ambiguitiy" seemed to be a very descriptive word of where my mind was sitting. It's the

I'm still doing and saying things that don't quite fit my description of who I view myself to be. I bet that's a common problem with lots of folks, not to make excuses or anything. It's been on my mind a lot lately, achieving the kind of manhood that I would desire for myself. In my mind it is a pure form, but then all of these worldly messages get mixed in with it and I lose my aim. I think the

Looking back, my journals have had the tendancy to be rather selfish. I'm always talking about some arbitrary "drama" in my life that has me at a loss. But today I did a good bit of thinking. I don't know, I suppose it really started last night. Actually... it happened as a result of a series of events.Now I have the disposition to think on a regular basis. It's what I like to do when nothing

It was another one of those days where I wake up and I feel compelled to accomplish as much as I can before bed. For instance, I cleaned out my car today for the first time since the fifth of December. Needless to say, it was a mess. After that and many other errands, I found myself in vocal lessons. That's right, I'm taking vocal training. I was concerned at first, because I didn't know how a

I haven't written much in a while. I've been doing a lot of thinking and partaking in quite a bit of action though. I'm trying to level out from this tail-spin that I hit as soon as school ended. Moving, careers, future... what does it all mean? Then there's the realization that, as far as this world is concerned, I don't mean much at all. For instance, Mitch and I both took a motorcycle safety

It was one of the roughest days I can recall. Starting at about nine thirty we worked towards our deadline of being out of our house by six or seven o'clock tonight. We started well rested and full of confidence that we would make it, but as the hours continued it became clear that there was much more work involved in getting that house ready than we had anticipated. The reason we were cleaning

Moving is never easy, especially when you have aquired as much crap as I have. But considering how much time I've actually spent on it, I must say that progress has come relatively quickly. I'm almost completely moved out of the house now. I'm going back in the morning to get the last few boxes and other random items lying around, then I'll clean, then I'll be done. I like my new room.

Well, I just had a wonderful weekend. Several of my friends from High Point came to visit me on Thursday and they just left tonight. Karl, JJ, Katie, Denise, Heidi, Megan, all good people. Right now I'm trying to figure out what I need to do to move out of this house. It might take a little more work than I'm giving it credit for, but who knows. I'll take it one step at a time and figure out the

Creatively, things have been better for me. I've been pretty dead to the world for the past couple of days. I don't know why. Ah, but I was able to go to the pub tonight for the first time in a while and talk with some of my friends about good solid stuff. I always forget how starved I am for solid deep and meaningful conversation. I am partly to blame for the lack there-of. I don't take

I've been working my butt off all week. I was meaning to do chores today, being that it is my only day off until next Saturday, but I just didn't feel like it. I wanted to loaf around and relax before I have to kill myself tomorrow. I'm not complaining though. I don't want it to seem like that. I'm enjoying the work and the money I'm making from it. I'm still hoping the bank calls me back on my

I must have missed that part of the Bible where Jesus and his disciples marched around bashing homosexuals and making their ideals into government laws by backing the right politicians."But they do it to us! We have to protect ourselves!"No! What did Jesus do when Peter tried to protect him from the guards by cutting off his ear. He chastized Peter and fixed the guards ear. Christ doesn't need us

I'm really disappointed right now. I was nerely done with this huge and informative journal and then firefox decided to freeze up on me. Curses! Oh well, let me try again.I've been fitting back into the summer routine. I have a new freedom that I'm trying to familiarize myself with though. Being (ultimately) through with classes has brought me to ask new questions about where I'm going. Work, of

I'm back in town, Nashville that is, but the house is a little more baren than I left it. Matt has mostly moved out and Stuffy grabbed a few things as well. I was using his computer desk, so now my computer sits on the floor by my bed. That's fine though. I won't be here too much longer anyways. I figure I'll start slowly moving out starting tomorrow. Viking will be leaving for Oregon on

It was an interesting day. I actually had options of things I could do this Saturday. Now usually I spend my free time in a very consistent manner. I watch a movie, take a nap, or a combination of the two. But I didn't want that today. I wanted to feel useful. Stuffy informed me that he was going to help Mitch build stages for a play production and I decided to join them. I haven't had much use

I don't know why I'm so nervous about doing well on exams. I really don't care at this point how I do. I'm just excited to be done with it all. I aslo can't believe how long I've kept this journal. There's an estimated 1000 plus pages of my thoughts and happennings found on this site. I can't believe it.Internally I'm having a rough time though. It's hard when you have opposing interests, a

I'm extremely tired right now and it's causing me to become vulnerable to frustration and self-centeredness. I really could use a solid night's sleep, but I must say that the amount of work I have been doing has been satisfying. I was up early for class this morning and then I went to our fraternal anual piano bash. It was good and I hit the piano several times with a sledge hammer, but I did

I made it through the weekend, another test of my metal over open flames. I was busy from the get-go Friday morning and it all ended just a couple of hours ago. I'm pretty tired. Pretty sure I'll take full advantage of the six hours of sleep I plan on getting tonight. Tomorrow is the start of a new week that I expect to be no easier than this. I'm confident and alert.I got a few pics in an e-mail

And suddenly, my life became busy. For the past two weeks I've had it pretty easy. My schedule looked relatively empty so I didn't do much of anything. Many people can't stand to do nothing, but not me. I've been doing so much for so long, I really don't feel bad at all when I just sit on the couch for an undetermined amount of time and soak in the radiaton from my tube television. Ah, but work

I need to be looking for a job right now. I'm pretty much wound down with classes for the rest of the year. All I really have left is a decent performance on my finals and then I'm done. After that, I've got plenty to do, but none of it requires that I go to class, which will be a refreshing change in pace. I'm sure I'll miss class eventually, but for the time being, I'm quite greatful to be

Classes are really winding down right now and I'm really excited about that. I've been holding on by the skin of my teeth all semester and now it's almost over. I don't know how to feel exactly. I know I'm going to have to change my entire way of thinking. My mind won't be so divided anymore which might be a good thing, or maybe not. I'm excited to find out either way.

For a while now life has been cloudy, but it's funny how sudden and unexpectedly God can shoot a beam of light through the clouds. I'm up way later than I should be, otherwise I would write more, but things are going well. I feel almost 100% better and life is gettin good. Peace and love

Yesterday was not fun at all... I ended up having to go to the hospital because of food poisoning. I was throwing up from about 1am-12:30 pm every hour on the hour. By about four I had gotten up all of the steak that made me sick and from that point on, I dryheaved and/or threw up stomach acid. When I got to the hospital, they whisked me through triage and put me in the ER. It didn't take long

I just had a startling thought. I wonder how much bad food I've eaten in this house. I must be completely honest. A house full of a bunch of guys isn't very well suited at keeping an eye on what's fresh and what is bad. I mean there are things in that fridge that have been in there since we moved in. It's not so much that we want to get sick, it's just that cleaning out the fridge hasn't found

I've been home for a few days, Easter break and all, and I realized that I haven't written in my journal in a long time. I left on Wednesday mid-afternoon for the long drive. I generally stop in Ashville whenever I can just to split things up, which is what I did. Andy was having rehersal with his band and it was really inspiring to be around such a creative circle. We were bouncing ideas back

I'm going home tomorrow. It'll be good for me. I didn't really get much of a spring break and the last thime I was home, it wasn't really for fun occasions. I'm pretty caught up on my workload right now, but things are shakey in relationship life. Things were great for three years here. I complained here and there about stupid stuff, but mostly just annoyances more than anything. Now, on the last

I'm still pretty stressed out right now, but I'm trying to think positive which is becoming a chore in itself. The activities that have been keeping me level are as follows:-classical music at night-my open window next to my bed-my awesome fan-chess-reading-ultimate frisbee-warm sunny days-capri sun-quiet timeMy heart is in desperate trial for some sort of break in the clouds.

Go, go, you can do it, just keep going. Don't stop and think about it, just mindlessly put one foot in front of the other until you get to the end. I remember several years ago in Guatemala, Brian and I wanted to race up the mountain to the village we were going to. It was close to a six mile hike up and the temperature was pushing a conservative 100+, but we saw a challenge and we wanted to face

Should have worked on some homework tonight, but I didn't. I need to stop watching tv. I was going to play ultimate frisbee at vanderbilt tonight, but I've injured my foot. It happened a few weeks ago and it still hurts. I think I might have a hair-lined fracture on that bone that connects my big toe to my ankle. I need to stay off of it for a while but I have a few games to play this week. Maybe

The weekend is over. Not much of a weekend for me. I still have classes all day on Saturday, but only one more week of that and I'll be done. I'll hopefully be taking up more hours with work when I'm done. It's been pretty hard surviving on a day a week less income. I'm glad for all of these experiences though. It really teaches you to appreciate the value of a dollar.As far as classes are

Who would have thought that on the day of my 500th post I would also be an uncle. That's right! Josiah Thompson was born today to Grace and Josh Thompson at 9lbs 7oz and 22 inches. That's a big boy! Grace had some complications during birth, but they performed surgery on her and she seems to be doing well, though I haven't talked to her yet. I did talk to Josh and I could tell there was a lot

So it turns out that I survived the week. It was a rough one, but it's over. I'm glad it's over. This week I don't really have much of an idea as to what is going on. I'm glad. I really don't like knowing what I'm going to do all of the time. I'm sick right now though. It might be food poisoning or horrible horrible allergies, but my stomach is really complaining pretty loudly about

Arg... This week is almost over, and tomorrow is the turn of tides. I'm so stressed out right now! I've got a physics exam, a macro economics exam, and a benefit concert to throw together and coordinate all tomorrow. Then on Saturday I have a class to go to from 9-5 and when I get home there's going to be a huge party. I'm not a fan of huge parties.I just want to go to a lake or something and sit

I'm trying my best to pick things up a bit before the semester ends. It's so heavy and I have to keep reminding myself that it's almost over. I'll finally be able to narrow down my train of thought a little bit. I'm feeling pretty burned out still. I've got projects and tests and all sorts of obligations to tend to this week and next. Only a few more weeks. It'll go by fast.I wrote a new song

I attacked it head-on today. I had the opportunity to allow myself to feel swamped, but I didn't take it. Instead of laying around and doing nothing, I went to the park, bunkered down, and did homework for several hours with Natalie who joined me about two hours into it. It was just an all-around beautiful day. I think I could work much better if I just went to the park on days where I had

Parties are a good thing, but I'm finding myself in a different corner of the room these days. I was thinking about it tonight at a party I went to at a church that I didn't regularly attent. Everybody was having a great time, and that was awesome, but I feel different about parties. I don't know if I just don't like them anymore, or what my reasoning may be, but I'm going to hash it out on paper

I'm getting a little bit more productive, but I'm still having pretty bad dreams. Last night, in particular, I had two bad dreams at the same time where I existed as a seperate entity in both dreams. I don't know how I could even think like that, but that's what happened. I just remember being so confused and torn that I stopped in both dreams and yelled at myself to wake up.So I woke up this

I'd feel pretty good if I had something to write about right now... I'm just going to warn you. I'm bored and I'm writing because I have nothing better to do. This is going to be one mixed up journal (probably).I started reading poetry last night. It's a book, over one hundred years old, called Bryant's Poems. I picked it out becuase it looked really old. I know I shouldn't judge a book by it's

Hmmm... I've been doin a whole lot of nothing for the past few days. Can't quite complain about that. I'm running through an introverted "recharge" phase right now though, and that seems to raise a few eyebrows with my friends here and there, but I don't judge them for their lack of understanding. I'm in need and I can't quite put my finger on it, so I've been feeling confused and doing weird

I'm having an exceedingly harder time concentrating these days. I can usually get good and distracted on something deep and meaninful, but now I just seem to get good and distracted on absolutely nothing. I'm really needing Friday and Spring Break to get here fast. It's sad. I know it's my senior year and that it should be my most amazing spring break ever, but I don't have the money for it nor

My head is not in the right spot. I'm not quite 100%. I feel troubled and shaken. I've been working pretty hard and not having much to show for it. In turn, I'm feeling really apathetic towards pretty much everything work at. I'm in a drifting again.I read an artical today in USA Today. It was talking about a documentary that will be showing this Sunday at 9pm on the discovery of Jesus' tomb,

It really is rediculous how fast my body can motabolize and grow new muscle. I started my weight gaining diet a few days ago and I've only worked out twice, but I can already see noticable changes and it hasn't even been a week yet. What I'm really working on is putting on mass though. I've put on a little, but I'd like to go up ten pounds within the next couple of months. That's my goal at least

I'm still awake right now and I totally shouldn't be. I've procrastinated in a bad way though, and I'm paying for it out the nose (or at least I will tomorrow). I was doing some film editing today to get the last part of my resume complete, and when I was finally done, the program shut down and I lost everything. If that hadn't happened, I would have been able to get my homework done and the

I've been making a lot of stupid mistakes lately at just about everything I put my mind too. I'm frustrated and tired, but I keep going anyways. The weather has been amazing though, and that helps. I don't know how many times I've said it, but I feel so much more alive when the sun is out and the air is warm. I want to keep my passions alive though. I've found that I have them, but they've just

I suppose we are proned to complaining, mankind that is. We can be delivered out of the hands of our captors and still find reason to complain. Rich men dare complain in the presence of the poor over rich man problems. I am discouraged by such tendencies in others and in myself. I think the root of complaint is either fatalistic or one, surprisingly enough, stemming from a hopeful mentality. "

Today provided more than enough fuel for me to feel prolific. It really doesn't take much. All I require is enough sleep the night before, a sunny sky, and a warm breeze. Anything else that happens after that is just an extra bonus in my book. I ate lunch with friends, enjoyed my classes, went on a few secret adventures here and there after classes, and even had a hugely successful grant petition

I'm going back to TN today. Everything emotionally here has been up and down, but it was all a good experience. The memorial service went really well yesterday. I think everyone received the closure they needed and it was nice to be able to give the family something. I'm not very good at comforting outside of music. It really is hard to think that I've played two funerals for two friends within

So I'm in North Carolina right now. I came back to help with the music for Ansley's funeral. It's been a bit weird at times, not just in the sense that it is happening, but that it is happening again. A lot of memories of Phill have been entering my mind for the past little while. The task hasn't been as heavy as I suspected it would be though. Thank you to those praying for me. We still have a

I will never fully understand the impact of death on us all. It sometimes comes after a lengthy struggle or in the blink of an eye, it shows no favoritism. And with death comes the full array of emotions that take their turn at the forefront of you thoughts, though everyone deals with them in a different way. Some cry, some become angry, some sit in silence. Whether death be just or unjust,

This morning after physics I found myself in my private place in the library. It's not really private because anyone can just waltz right up to me if they so desired, but no one ever does because I'm pretty sure it's one of the most secluded places on campus. On the second floor at the very end of the room in the back left corner there is a cubicle that I frequent when I need peace and quiet.

The service this morning went really well. I got home last night at about one and checked my e-mail to find that they didn't have enough singers for today, so I went in a little early. I really enjoy singing in the band and I wish I could do it more often, but they really need tech people a little bit more than they would need singers. I do whatever they need is what that amounts to.The service

Another journal I erased from being publicly published. I've had a great deal on my heart these past few days. It has been liberating and refreshing and my soul feels clean again for the first time in 5 years. I wanted to spill it all out for you, but even though the ending is a happy one, the struggles are dark and tormenting. If you want to know, you can ask, but I think it is best this way.I'm

I'm not going to say much on the happenings of yesterday other than this: You don't have to be who you've always known yourself to be. You don't have to always respond the same way to painful situations. You don't have to live based upon the negative experiences that have weighed you down for so long. Sometimes we know in our hearts what is right, but pride can get in the way. Sometimes it gets

Okay, so a new front for my frustration has just come into play and moved everything else to the back burner. I just shaved with that new lotion shaving cream that they've been trying to sell on tv, talking about how it leaves your face smooth and silky. I bought it because it was cheaper than a can of cream, and yes, my face is pretty smooth. I'm sorta ticked though because the stuff doesn't

OH MY GOSH! I just can't get through this in one piece can I!?! Misunderstandings, assumptions, bitterness, sensations of betrayal and love both falsly and truthfully placed. Everyone has a pocket full of advice whether it be from experience or not. Everyone has their own home remedies. Everyone wants things to stay the same, even the ones trying to promote change.To avoid drama I simply pack up

I wanted to write a response on a movie I saw last night. I went to see "The Painted Veil" with Viking. There weren't many people there to see it, so it seemed like a gamble, and it started off a little rough, but I have to say that it was probably one of the most impacting movies I've ever seen. It was as if I was looking into the eyes of a late 30's version of myself, only it wasn't really me,

Okay, so the mouse war has commenced this season and I am in full swing. My prowess has never been greater and neither has my vengance. I take no prisoners and my methods for termination are a bit less than conventional. Traps don't get a clear message across anymore. I have moved to hand-to-hand combat. The mouse's strength against my own (weapons allowed). So far I have killed 10. Let me share

I have acomplished the first step in my "Saturday is Awesome" scheduling. I woke up to watching Armagedon and took a shower at 10:00. Now I'm starting to think about food and all the different ways I might procure it. Perhaps I shall ride my bike with Viking, who knows. Only time will tell. Everything I do today will be completely unplanned, unscheduled mayhem.Last night was great. I went

Clean, everything is clean. For the first time in a long time I went on a cleaning rampage today. I mean I keep things up to par most of the time, but it isn't often that I go "white glove". Over all, I feel pretty good. Things are aligning in order and I don't feel quite as bummed out as I did for the past few days. I think some of it has to do with the fact that I gave myself no free time at

You ever have one of those days where you feel like the only person alive. Everything is quiet and no one will even answer their phone. I'm feelin like that right now, and I really wish I could talk to someone. My options are limited though. There are certain people I will talk to about certain things. Some of it has to do with trust, some of it has to do with whether or not I can depend on that

We had fun tonight. It was the first night of the last RUSH week of my Greek life. We always do this recital and perform all sorts of crazy songs, some serious, most of them not.I'm feeling more comfortable in my recent decisions. I still have a few doubts and unexpected attacks, but that's normal I guess. I'm ready for the fight. I'm trying to look forward to the horizon, to make plans and think

So I made it back alive. It was quite the experience as I expected, though it was a bit colder too. But hey, I've got pictures to help illustrate this story, so here we go.I loaded up my car yesterday as soon as I was done with everything important. It took a bit of time and I was honestly surprised at how much junk I was taking for just one night, but I thought about it, and most people go
