Finally

Well my grade for Spanish is finally up. I made a B. Of course I already knew that. Anyway...
I am really bored right now. Well to wrap this up there is only one thing I can say about the weather here it is
HOT

Well gotta go and do nothing...

Singing the Praises

Okay, so its Monday night, and of course I am watching American Gladiator. Well anyway.

I find out later tonight how I did in the spanish class I just got out of. Well I found my webcam and am trying different things. Plus I am looking through the videos from my trip and cutting and pasteing. It is going good I guess.

I hope to get one up soon it will probably be in the next few weeks.

Well I've gotta go and work on the video. haha plus watch the last 5 minutes of Gladiator. later

Hello

Okay so it is finals here at Ole Miss. Mine is at 12 and so I am sitting in the library somewhat studying. I am basically just looking over the study guide and going over what I cant remember.

On a better note I now have Internet back on at the house. What odds is it that both of our air cards dieing within 3 days of each other. Sad isn't it.

Well Tom my younger brother is already in band camp. Today was an off day due to no power. That is a duh right.

I can finally tell its summer down here upper 90s to lower 100s especially in heat indexes. and pop up showers. basically I was driving yesterday and all of a sudden it started to pour, for about 5 minutes. anyway.


I am still working on videos. Hopefully I can get it up sometime. *sigh*

Now that I am almost done with class for the summer so I hopefully will have more time. well later

WOW

Okay.. so it is a little near when I need to be in class and I was just fooling around Youtube and found the most amazing video. It is of teh UC Men's Octet singing Bohemian Rhapsody, one of my most favorite queen songs (All of them are favorites lol) This was soooo cool I had to share it. Ummm I posted the video on my blog in my space or just use the link.
(the link is the title!!!)

On another note...

I hope to have a condensed version of my Disney trip I took in March up soon. I am still learning on how to copy and paste parts of videos. **sigh**

If anyone has any suggestions on how to do it give me a email or whatever

I am almost done with school for the summer then I have about a month off because school starts back the 25th of August. 2 days before my birthday...that stinks right...

well Later everyone...I would love to hear from whoever reads this mess...later...

Como esta?

Hey everyone...I guess I better not be so foreign. So anyone miss the best All-Star game in a while. My brat of a brother would not let me watch all of it so I went to bed. I really wish I could have seen some of it at least. Oh well. I have a few more days ( less than a week) left of Spanish. yeah...oh well. I am a little bit tired of everything. I can't wait til class is over so I can possibly get some sleep.

On a better note my grandmother should be home literally any minute from a Alaskan cruise.


Well gotta go do more spanish lab stuff...later

HAPPY FOURTH

Well Friday was the fourth so of course the fun of nothingness. Ando and I went to her parents this weekend and took RyRy with us. Of course last night we say Amy (real good friend). I think we are thinking about going to Disney just the three of us, possibly. We hope. Anywho. Well gotta go get ready for the drive back home...bout 3 hours to drive...I think I am going to have time for another blog tomorrow. If I do good if not oh well. later

Who knew...

Well I said I would try to do the video blog...but don't have time it seems. I really need to unpack my webcam...maybe then I would be able to. Don't hold your breath. I am on the third day of second summer classes and already over my head. This time it is spanish. fun huh???

Oh well. I need to take it. But anyway.

Well I am trying to word something else but no...oh well. this blog cut short...

If you are new reading this Welcome, or as we say down here...Howdy. If not hi again.


Hope ya'll enjoy the complete nothingness of my blogs...I hope to be able to get some of my poems on here sometime. But until then...

Update...part 1

O-kay...now that I see what all I have not posted...lol

Since my last updating post in Feb. I think that I know what to say.

In March during Spring Break Andrea and I took my mom, and two brothers to Disney World. Of Course we had a blast!!!...If I can figure out how to edit and put the videos online I will...I also hope to have most of the picts on my myspace page soon...
I finally figured out what was wrong with my life so far. I have finally made the decision (and did it) to change majors. I know that that is a shock to some of ya'll. I just changed it to Philosophy & Religion.

Well all is well at the house. Andrea and I also moved in with my parents...we are saving about 12 grand a year in rent...plus it is a lot safer. well...later everyone...

Mourning

Well I know it has been a while since I last blogged. I think it said either February or March...oh well. I know there is a lot of things that happened in my life in the past few months but that is not the reason for this blog.

In the past 2 weeks we lost at least two influential people in the public eye. A week ago it was Tim Russert, now yesterday it was George Carlin.

Both of these men have helped our nation with either having a tell it like it is attitude or in the case of George Carlin, a way to keep many people laughing.

I got most of my political news from Tim Russert, many Sundays were spent watching the show, especially during important elections.


Well I will post again soon once I get my thought together and see what all I missed with all of this stuff.


Jack

hope ya'll enjoy

Just because you dont support the war, doesnt mean you cant support the troops fighting for our freedom.



Turn up your volume too theres a song!






You stay up for 16 hours.
He stays up for days on end.




You take a warm shower to help you wake up.
He goes days or weeks without running water.




You complain of a "headache", and call in sick.
He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.




You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends.
He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.




You talk trash about your "buddies" that aren't with you.
He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.




You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls.
He patrols the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.

..


You complain about how hot it is.
He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.




You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong.
He doesn't get to eat today.




Your maid makes your bed and washes your clothes.
He wears the same things for weeks, but makes sure his weapons are clean.




You go to the mall and get your hair redone.
He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.




You're angry because your class ran 5 minutes over.
He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months.




You call your girlfriend and set a date for tonight.
He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.




You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday.
He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.




You roll your eyes as a baby cries.
He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.




You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.
He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting.




You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of men like him.
He hears the gunfire, bombs and screams of the wounded.




You see only what the media wants you to see.
He sees the broken bodies lying around him.




You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't.
He does exactly what he is told even if it puts his life in danger.




You stay at home and watch TV.
He takes whatever time he is given to call, write home, sleep, and eat.




If you support your troops, the click "reply to poster" copy all the codes, and repost the bulletin.

If you don't support your troops well, then don't re-post. You won't die in 7 days, your love life won't be affected, and you won't have the worst day ever. You don't have to repost. It's not like you know the men and women that are dying to preserve your rights.

Long time

Hi sorry its been so long i have been very busy with school and stuff...talk more later...jackrab

Blah...

Well today is my dad's birthday...I won't say how old he is...Well I am in the second semester of the summer term. I made a B in the class I just got out of. Well the summer has been fun so far and I actually can't wait til school comes back fully. Well gotta go ttyl

Floating away on Cloud 9

I am soooooo happy. Friday night Andrea, Amy and I went to Memphis and saw Celtic Women. It was awesome. I really loved it. It was soooo much better than watching them on t.v. The coolest thing was when one of the drummers was wiping his hand with a rag and noticed that it was time for him to start playing he threw it in the air and started playing. He also did that with the drumsticks he was using or he did play the spoons and they went flying as well.
I started crying a little when Meav sang "Danny Boy" and when Mairead played "Shenadoah." It was so hard not to sing along with them. My favorite song of the night though had to be "Cailli"(sp). Although its hard to say that it was my only favorite.
I am still just pinching myself that we actually got to go and see them. If I knew I could afford it and could get there I would go on June 1st and see them again in a heart beat.

Well I gotta go start getting ready for finals...2 weeks left...Then a long summer.

In Christ,
Jack

Time just a tickin...

Well all I have between me and spring break now is 2 classes and work. I can not wait. My 2 roommates and I are going to Vicksburg and Dallas. I am so excited. Well I have a test in the morning, Chao!

Jack

Crazyness

Well I am so happy that it is Friday. I start observing next week. I know that this seems redundant but I am so tired of some people.

On a brighter note on April 27th I am going to Memphis to see Celtic Women!!!!!!!

Plus it is only 2 weeks til spring break...

Well gotta go...More soon if God allows

Slipping and Sliding

Well its been a long time again, since my last post. I had a class at eight but since I couldn't walk down my stairs without slipping I thought that it would be safer to stay in. However I am going to have to go to work today. So I hope it has cleared up. I don't get why they did not cancel school because most of the upperclassmen and faculty live off campus and may not be able to get to class. Its so stupid. Well I am going to study so I will ttyl.

Have a great day

Long Time Forgotten

Well its been a while since I have updated any of my blogs. I have been really busy with school and stuff. Well since the last post I have cut 12 inches off of my hair again. Also I am scrambling to study for finals. Well I will post more later after next week.

I am going to Tunica tonight to see my Uncle Barry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fun Weekend

Well I have had a very good time this weekend. I pretty stayed at the apartment til today. A really good friend came to the football game saturday (we won!!!!) and crashed here after we fed he and a few of his friends. He transfered to a different school this year and it was great to see him I finally got a gift from him for my bday so it wasnt a loss. I really was glad to see him. Well I gotta go read an assignment for astronomy. CYA

Nagging in my mind (nothing personal)

Well its after 10 but I am still a little wired feel sleepy half the time and awake the other. Mybe if i lay down i will be ok. but anyway....

This past week has been sorta hectic with me going through the second week of classes. I know that its really hard not just to go through the motions of this lovely college life. I think most people would hear of Ole Miss and think of the fact that we are in the top 5 party schools but i dont cater to that. I dont go to parties (ok frat or sorority). If i go to a party its usually held at UCSC (the student center) which means that I dont get to tempted. I know that its really weird and all to hear about what isnt fun and what is but i think that the best thing here is the Christian family I have been "adopted" into. (Casey u dont know how much the calls mean to me), I mean i havent had to much of a push toward being a Christian until i came to college. Its not that my home congregation doesnt care its that i dont think they know how to touch kids like me.

I know some of the people still treat me like I was still 5, and its hard just to not just yell at them and say "I AM NOT A LITTLE KID ANYMORE TREAT ME LIKE U WOULD ANOTHER ADULT" but i dont know if that will help.

I have to admit that until college I didnt have a really great relationship with God. Yeh there was camp during the summer but the rejuvination that I got there didnt last til the following July. it kinda stopped at about december. Expecially after my Great Grandmother died.

Well I need to stop ranting. I am not downing my home congregation at all they are trying but its the older "kids" like me that are suffering from their lack of caring when i was growning up. I mean if I miss Rebels I get a call from Casey seeing if I had needed a ride or if they had forgotten me and that tells me how special that relationship will be.

Well On a school note classes are going great.
