Getting back...

Okay the first presidential debate was a success!

It was crazy in the grove Friday! Ando and I got there about 12:15 and didn't leave until 9. We had so much fun. I loved the music. Cant say if I had a favorite or not, well maybe Saving Abel and Paul Thorn, but all of the acts were right up my music alley. I had forgotten that there are some good stuff out now, still. One group that really stood apart was Mayhem(?) String band. THey were AWESOME. It was the most I laughed in a while.
I have to explain myself...
There were 2 giant catfish walking around the grove

While the string group was playing a song one of the fish was dancing around the grove. I hope to have it more up soon. I gotta mess around with it and other videos I took Friday...

1 BC

Okay this is a funny time right. NOT>>> Yesterday we heard that John McCain wanted to actually do his job. WOW>>> Anywho.

As my title says it is 1BC, last day before the debate. This debate is a BIG thing. This may be considered a HUGE thing in Ole MIss history. It is really a headache but has become fun.

Well I am going to the Grove tomorrow, and tonight am staying to listen to Tom Brokaw speak. WEll I gotta go.

Greetings and Salutations...

To all of those who are reading this that mysteriously found it by looking. Welcome. Yesterday was my mom and dad's anniversary. They have been married 24 years and already have the reservations for their 25th next year. Cool huh?

I will be hopefully posting a video tonight that I (with help from Ando) took to show how fun it is being a student at UM and live away from campus during debate week.
A teacher yesterday called Monday 1AD i.e. day one after debate. Pretty funny huh. I will be glad when I can sleep an extra hour on MWF. But I hope to get my video camera out and tape the look of the campus over the next few days. So lies in the hope of having a "video" blog.

I have recently decided to somewhat boycott newer music. Some of it is so blah. I mean if I wanted to hear the same song over and over again I would. Plus with the purchase of my ipod a few years ago and the adapter to play in the car why? right. I have probably started to majorly annoy my friend coming to class. I actually am able to listen to what I want. All in one sitting (as long as I have the song). My current playlist includes artists, Styx, Ted Nugent, Starship, and Queen. Just to name a few. Well. I better go and look over my material for the test I have at 230. yeah...

So later...

Okay So I better tell ya'll that it is almost official by the Spring I will be a Religion major only. Yep the IHL of Mississippi finally allowed Religion. Yeah. I also am planning on going to a study abroad trip to Prague, Vienna and Aushwitz. It is going to be fun. Well I gotta go its been a long day again.

as promised

Okay so I didn't get done what I wanted to last night when I got home I was really tired. Plus had Christianity homework...

So here is what I wrote yesterday...(typed it in a word processor)

Blog for September 18, 2008
Hey everyone!
Okay my paper is done and I am so glad. It was harder than I thought it would be much more difficult. Oh well. So I decided to type this up and post it (after the fact) probably the date is the 19th. If so those who know me know that I have a class at 230 and 5 on Thursday nights plus this is homecoming week for North Pontotoc so we have to pick up the brat after everything. I know it sounds redundant for me to do things with north with everything but I am. Last week actually was horrible yes north got the Horton trophy (For those that don’t know it is the trophy for the North/South Pontotoc game’s winner) it really doesn’t matter. However it was at south. Horrible right.


Well teacher just came in later…


jack


So I am going to write a little more later....gotta talk about the upcoming debate...yeah...(not)

haha

Okay so I can't talk that long I gotta finish a paper that is due at 230, finishing touches mainly...grammer check and making sure my sources are right. well later


as soon as i am finished i will write more...

later

jack

remembered...

Okay so I remembered what I was going to say as soon as I posted the other one.

As many of you know the first presidential debate is on September 26th. It is being hosted by the University of Mississippi, FUn, FUN...not

It has become a headache. I mean parking has gone for the birds, and its only going to get worse. I actually can't wait for it to be over. Week after next is going to be even worse, I am so glad that they canceled class for the day of the debate, I would have skipped anyway.

Well enough of that, later, again...

It's Raining...It's Pouring...

Okay, Random title right? Not really, It's raining here, from IKE. Yeah, right. I hope it wasn't too damaging to Texas. I know it rained there all day yesterday.

Oh, boy, I brought this up wanting to write and I forgot what I was going to say...normal, right. So I guess I will not say anything...oh, well...


Hope everybody had a good weekend.

Nightmare

Okay I bet from the title you are wondering what I am talking about...well it is a poem that I wrote August 30, 2001 after taking a test in English II. So here it is...

People won’t let me be
Because I’m different I can’t understand why
So please don’t pick on me today.

Don’t talk rumors
It hurts me so
I need someone to take me away
From this hateful life.

Then the alarm clock buzzes
And I wake up.
O my, it was just a nightmare.

I get dressed and go to school
First thing I see and hear are people
Pointing and laughing at me.



Hope ya'll enjoyed it...later

Can it be?

Okay it really just hit me that it was already September. What really made me think of this was last night. We had finished eating a "family" supper at the table and everything when my mom of all people asked the question. "Where will we put the Christmas tree?" Like she said it just hit her all of a sudden. And I can't get that out of my head we are almost 3 months from Christmas. It just doesn't seem right. I mean Christmas is going to be slim present wise but that's okay. One of my best gifts is my older brother Ryan.

On another note my mom and dad have their reservations for their 25th anniversary next September at Disney World. Now all they have to do is pay for it. lol...
Andrea, Amy and I are planning a trip in 2010, hopefully we can't make reservations until next year, so we are all saving up..lol

Anyway I should be out of school by then, don't really know what I am going to do. I have really fallen in love with Religion, but I still love education, I am really torn.
Wow I have less than 2 hours before my next class. Hopefully next semester I don't do this again. Although I get to listen and watch great music on you tube.
I really have fallen in love with the cite I get to watch Styx, Queen, Weird Al and many others of my favorites its really cool. its way better than how I used to have to listen to them and hope they came on the radio.

But any who...I am hoping to be able tonight to type up my old poems from 2001 and 2002 and post them sometime before the 11th. They were written in remembrance of 9/11 and even previously written for one of them. I probably will start writing again soon, I hope if I ever get the time.

Well I better see what I want to do I will probably see if I can upload a picture-show from Disney either to you tube or here.

later

Don't forget

Okay so this weekend was busy. Friday (the 29th) was my Great Aunt and her son's birthday. But it was also the day that my new baby cousin, Hayden came into this world. He was 7lbs 7 oz and 21 inches long, now thats a big boy huh.
What's funny about Hayden is that if he was 2 days earlier he would have shared with me. And if he had waited until the next day, he would have shared a birthday with his big sister.

That is the main family news. Oh,,,wait a sec, my Great Aunt Ronnie's birthday (mom's side) was Friday as well and I wish her all the best. She is waiting for a surgery on her esophagus sometime soon hopefully.

Also Friday was the 3rd anniversary of Katrina. and Gustav of course came ashore earlier today.

We haven't got that much as of yet, but it ain't over yet. My prayers go out to those who have been forced to leave their homes and those in Cuba whose families lost loved ones.

Another anniversary is coming up. September 11

This day was very hard for me, not just because of what happened in 2001 but of what happened in 1996. My great-grandmother (Granny) died in a car wreck on that day. For all intensive purposes she was really influencial to my growing up. Some years it hits me bad, but some just kill me.

Well that's it for now...later
