incompetency and skelatons

its not that i've had nothing to say over that past few wks, ive had updates i wished to give....its just that i've had no reliable internet at mi casa...i have complained and complained to an obviusly incompetent company that has only 2 technicians on their whole staff responsible for taking care of apartment complexes...and i am sure that mine is not the only one they have....so therefore each time i call, i get the response "we dont know why you're having trouble....and all of our techs are out on calls so all i can tell u is im sorry and i will put in a service ticket for you"....well.....while all of that mumbo-jumbo sounds promising, i've been told that now 3 times...last wk i was sure it would happen but i didnt receive a call all wk....so i heard that same thing again today, and then ultimately i was told that "if worse comes to worse, you might be forced to get service from another company"...and my thoughts are, thats a great idea, but.....why go elsewhere when this company should be competent and fix their issues.....i keep having to go elsewhere, and last wk was even forced to go to barnes & noble....i enjoyed it up until my browser page comes up and says "one time use is $3.95".....but i had to do a quiz so therefore i had to pay it....no other choice....so i am becoming exceedingly frustrated with all of it....and my wknd can be summed up w/the pic....we got a real scare.....until next time

2nd wk so far and wknd....and the croc hunter props

i will give $100 to anyone who can guess my location...starting.............now......................times up....sweet eugenes...i know nobody got it and im glad cuz i dont have a hundred bucks to spare...anyways, just finished my first quiz for my Govt class...got another one to do b4 tomorrow...happy happy joy joy i know....game went well on saturday...we won...yipee....but played horribly....lookin forward to playin oooh lala this wk...gettin used to my schedule finally, so thats helping....and i dont watch tv anymore, even on wknds....i read...what have i become?? a geek??? or another overworked college student??? u pick.....stever irwin was a G....i watched his stuff often...i will miss him..that is all....pics from last wk will follow.....until next time

first wk conclusion & other trinkets

first wk is coming to a good close...only one class today, not a killer....what is a killer is my history class and a new 300 pg novel every 2 wks...all in all 9 books....so ima be an avid reader this semester....work wk went ok, not doin much of nothin but showing my face and trying to become a familiar face....and hoping they notice that....first wk w/all the new gear tho is of course gonna be crazy...some pics posted in the press release on aggie athletics for ya......ready for tomorrow...first game as a student, should be fun.....happy anny to mom and dad.....26 yrs and still goin strong...happy early b-day ma as well..sit back and enjoy the pics....

so to sum it up, yesterday went fine till i was late to sign language and had math till 815 for a fashionably late dinner.....today went fine and i dont wanna be late to sign language today....so i better leave sweet eugene's cuz our net at home still doesnt work...but we're paying for it...love how that happens....holla

Sweet Eugene!!!!

sitting at the Sweet Eugene's House of Java bcuz my net doesnt work at the apt yet, i am overjoyed bcuz i am finally surfing!! as bad as it sounds, its a great feeling...even though this place is a little too loud to do any homework sometime, the wi-fi is all that matters....first official nights in college station went good...last night thru tomorrow morning is first by myself and im doin fine....just the banging of overhead neighbors this morning awakened me....went to the store last night, got a few items....chick-fil-a for lunch....mmmmm.....the new milk shake is wonderful there, but never seems to agree with my stomach for some reason...got books yesterday, glad to report they werent as much as expected...dreading starting school monday, but ready to get it here....and overwith....jamming one of the songs of "see the morning" by tomlin, good tunes....song called "everlasting God" by brenton brown...cant wait to hear the album...hmmmm what else....oh....last fri. went great...Justin Cofield Band belated-cd release party....the guys sounded awesome, the rig sounded awesome (thanks to my system tech stanley)....the band wives were very complimentary of the overall sound...which....i dont dispute, but i know the glory is all for God....gettin frustrated can't get my aim downloaded back...dreading my mtg tonite for work....ready to go home tomorrow for a few days b4 the semester picks up...sooo until next time.....holler

friends

friends are one of the hardest thing to leave....and tonight....i struggle with leaving friends that over this past yr have become some of my best friends i've ever had...but them, along with other friends i know are lifelong and i will always cherish that.. so as i face these struggles, i turn to God's word and leave you with this.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (The Message)
By yourself you're unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped.

post-WTC

well...it was good...it reminded me of seeing The Passion of the Christ....the end of the movie was greeted by a silent audience, and people exited the theatre in pure silence...and thats the way the theatre stayed the entire movie, silent except for the middle aged man caughing every few minutes and the other younger man receiving phone calls every 10 minutes and him stepping out to answer everysingle one of them....each conversation lasting only about 5 minutes...but i wont give any of it away....in my opinion, well portrayed....powerful stuff....nicholas cage...i applaud...

trying to burn anchorman...on my 3rd burning program....used 4 discs already..on my 5th......ugh....

until next time

pre-WTC movie

as i sit in my living room, within an hour of experiencing an attempted recreation of one of the most horrific attackes in our nation's history, i dont know what to expect...i dont know if its accuratley recreated, or if its just done to attempt to make a profit off of such an event....i can only remember the thoughts that ran through my head that day....so im writing this not knowing what to expect, and expecting to fill in my opionion of the movie...stay tuned

wowzer

geez louise its been a while....where to begin....good summer of camps....last one was my personal fave w/Justin Cofield Band and the student minister from Lake Point in Rockwall, Bubba.....good stuff....since then, been at home just sleeping till noon and staying up late...and in that continuous cycle...its been pretty sweet...

saw some good movies, the breakup, superman returns, nacho libre, talladega nights...got tons of new tunes....met big daddy weave..ha ha that was a trip.....bought stuff for school.....move in next fri then go to pflugerville that afternoon for the Cofield Band CD release party.....

no new reads, but new tunes that have struck me include the Hillsong United "Look to You" album and the new Passion 06 album "Everything Glorious" which has severl good tracks

waking up tomorrow early to call aTm admissions to see what they want at this late date....holla

Camp....wk 1

By The Tree

life is hectic!!!!

it has been a crazy month...after the d-now in pfluger, the next wknd was hot hearts w/ jeff berry and wes hamilton....good stuff, too bad we had some system issues....which turned out not to be my fault thank u very much..but we had a pretty good wknd, then yesterday i went to the caldwell county stock show to watch natalie do her thing w/ her goat and lamb...and i am please to say she won it all with both of em...thats my girl!!! but i learned a lot out there and i had fun...which was a pleasant surprise....goin to see tomlin tonight!!! oh yeah...the madness isn't over, next wknd nic comes in view of a call...and that will be extremely hectic and long and whatnot....until next time

work work work work work

im here in this wicked awesome hotel room....one with a cordless phone!!!!in all my hotel rooms ever, i have never experienced a cordless phone....UNTIL NOW!!!! pretty sweet i know......but this is our second room of the night, the first being on the second floor....with a single king size bed.....now we are pretty big boys, not me, but the rest of my peeps are...so that was not gonna be fun....2 yrs ago at YEC, i experienced such a thing where we had 5 people to a room, and i got to sleep on the bed......with 2 or 3 other people...i think just 2, but i cant recall.....both guys being larger than myself.....needless to say, i got about 2 hrs of sleep that night......tomorrow is a busy day, hopefully time for a nap and starbucks though...session at 9:30, and then one at 7....in the meantime, jer and i plan to go out on the town in search of V-Day presents..no not to exchange to each other, but to our respective LADYfriends.....i am not the best present buyer in the world, not the worst, but by far not the best..so it will be interesting....i will try to take some pics tomorrow and put on tomorrow night...but until then, i have one taken within the last 15 minutes.....so until next time

me and my former-ladyfriend on our way to A&M.....and look out the window.....RAIN!!!! (aint she perty?)

ah its the weekend

i so love friday evenings....even if this is all i do.....a wonderful time or rest and relaxation....the rest of my evening consists of going to the soccer game with the beautiful and o'so sweet natalie (one of those times you say yes and dont really wanna go) i think soccer is one of, if not the most boring sports to watch.....especially if it is cold.....and it might rain....so....if i feel a drop i am bailing....then tomorrow my parents, natalie, i, and the taylor two are going to college station for a fun-filled day of aggie basketball(women and men)...women take on OU (O-who?) and they are said to be one of the best teams in the nation....the men take on baylor for baylor men's 5th or 6th game of the yr...should be a pretty good match....hopefully it will be some nice bonding time, and get to see meg and clay as well so that is always such a joy....next wknd starts the business evry wknd.....chile bowl next wknd, then comes fbc p-ville D-now and then after that comes hot hearts w/ jeff berry and wes hamilton at highland lakes, and then to round out the month on the 25th is chris tomlin, matt redmond, and louie giglio at austim music hall.!!!!...now that, i am looking forward to....unitl next time (whenever that might be)

aahh lovely spring semester

the lovely spring semester is now upon us, my last sememster of my high school career......if i didnt have these darn acc classes, i would just be slacking off.. but i cannot do that because i need to do well in them....but so far so good....january is really a slow month for me working wise, did the MLK day festival in austin....wouldn't be bad if i didn't get that 3:30 a.m. wake up call...that just really stinks...but next month picks up witha bang, something evry weekend....and if all goes well, me and jeremy will be off to see tomlin at austin music hall on the 25th of feb.....he's gonna be there with louie giglio and matt redmond....i am looking forward to that....we were supposed to have seen coldplay that night in houston, but with tix reaching upwards of $150 for nosebleed seats, we decided to save ourselves about $120 and go for the $30 seats for tomlin...but its all good...until next time

dat boi clay open his sweet stuff aswell 

meg openin her sweet Christmas stuff 

Christmas!!!!!!!! Yipee

yay....Christmas time is finally upon us...quite possibly my most favorite time of year, in the running with summer....i love the lights, occasional glimpse of possible snow....and the lights.....they all just make it such a joyous season and then there are the people that try to ruin it by stressing out because of last minute sales...and pulling in a parking spaces when u have your blinker on to pull in.....or bumping into you to get the last of something so they can have it for their own gift....but hey...im not bitter....not in the least....got to go to college station on wed. till today and attented a girls b-ball game and watched clay in acton, then on thurs. went to see the men play auburn...good game, and nice turn out....at the womens game, some eager kid tried to steal a shirt that was thrown up in mine and megans direction....we were the only ones in our section, and the dude saw that and threw it up to us....then as i go down to get it, 2 little kids ranging in ages from about 8 to 12 run and finds the shirt before i do...even though it wont fit for about another 6 years....so the guy that threw it saw this take place, and came and gave us another one...presents came early as usual this yr.....pretty sweet things....headed on a road trip tomorrow with the fam (i pray i dont strangle one of em in the next wk...or ever for that matter) we're headed to ft. worth for 2 days, then to college station for a night, then to beaumont for another night w/ clay....should be fun...fielder road baptist is on the agenda for sunday morning....i always enjoy going there...they're doing good things......Merry Christmas to all...to all....until next time...

"take this world from me...i dont need it anymore....for i have been set free....my heart is spoken for"--mercy me

yay for christmas!!!!

"no way november will see our goodbyes, when it comes to december its obvious why, no one wants to be alone at Christmas time"-"St Patricks Day" John Mayer. Yeah its Christmas time, not no holiday time....its CHRISTmas time....i had a pretty easy time of buyin presents this yr for the most part....last yr it was horendous...last wk went well at the musical thingy (good job pops) and special thanks to my co-workers for makin it all go so bueno (jer-bear)......im tryin to decide on a laptop for the all-important graduation present....thing is, they aint cheap....and being a computer geek, i gotta have the best thing on the market...so a pic follows of what i dream of day and night...donations accepted....until next time (next time i'll prolly be done w/ finals and be ready for bowl games)

been a while

been a while since i did this last..time flies when ur not in football....i been doin mainly acc stuff...essays and whatnot...last night at the sports banquet i was asked to give the invocation by our head coach/ad....which i wasnt nervous about at first, until i was on stage with 300+ people looking at me....my heart beat about 1,000,000,000 times in that 30 secs. i was up there....also been lookin for coldplay tix....went to the a&m-texas game...good game, kinda sad the underdog lost...by the way- women frustrate me.....until next time
