Wowed and wowzer

Okay, so now is the time where I can honestly say that I was surprised last night. I knew my mom had been planning something for my birthday but didn't know what to expect. Now I had guessed that my aunt would bake me a cake since she did one for Andrea. I will try to tell the story okay and no we didn't get any pictures or video oh well...

Okay I get out of class at 615 normally on Thursdays but we got out about 15 minutes early. So I go to leave the Turner Center (where my class is) and see near the exit is Andrea and to my great surprise my good friend Sunil. Which of course I didn't expect at all. I am sure I looked very surprised. Because I was. So Andrea, Sunil and I got in the car and drove the excruciating long distance to the house (its only about 45 minutes but it seemed like it was taking forever last night)Finally we get there and my aunt's car is in the yard. I was sent to go get my grandmother and we sat down. My mom had promised me that she would cook homemade spaghetti (and of course I kind of knew that was what we were having because of Sunil having been invited to partake in eating it)and guess what she had gotten up about 5 minutes after I left yesterday morning and put the sauce to cooking!!!! Now before we ate since everyone didn't have much time I opened the cards and presents. My grandma gave me cash which was cool (books)and my aunt had gone to the casinos this past weekend and they were giving away a gift that I really wanted, it was a fondue set in the shape of a Hershey's* Kiss!!! it was so cute. plus in here card she gave me a little help cash wise (all the money is in my bank account). So anyway we ate the spaghetti and my aunt for my cake baked a chocolate cake with chunks of chocolate in it. It was AWESOME!!!!!!!!

That is pretty much what happened last night.

Yippee!!!!

So today is my 23rd birthday! yeah! anyway i just thought I would share that with ya'll,. So I have class in 22 mins so I better start huffing it (not) I am sitting downstairs in the "lobby" of Bryant, and all I have to do is go upstairs. Another good thing to tell ya'll is that I am going straight for Religion major most probably and I might go for a minor in English...coool huh?

Well 2 minutes have passed since I started typing, do ya'll know how hard it is to type and think when you are bored.. ( I was so tempted to misspell that). but anyway I hope there are some people looking at this if not oh well...well later gator...

Ole Miss Video thingy

The pictures were taken on the 14th. I am getting some picts together for one for my birthday!

Okay

Now that I have more time to look at stuff I can add more to my blog. 2 of my classes don't meet again until next week. So I got up early this morning for no reason. Oh, well. My next class is at 3 so I am messing around on the internet and stuff. right now I am listening to a music video by Queen. One of the best bands of all time. Anyway, I have a video up on my facebook with different picts from a few weeks ago, I am going to try to post it in a few...later

Finally

Well today I start classes...yeah...I hope everyone enjoyed the Olympics! I know I did.

Well I hope everyone has a great day...later

Olympic Dreams

Okay so I have been religiously watching the Olympics, as usual. Like anyone I am glad that Phelps is doing good, but I am also glad that China is doing good. I will say I have not seen that many falls on apparatuses in gymnastics in the Olympics ever. It was horrible watching both men and women, hopefully the women tonight will be able to do a little better. The one fall on the rings last night hurt to watch. Well on another note I can't wait for the long jump next week, an Ole Miss alum you could call her, Brittany Reese, who is also from the Glorious State of MISSISSIPPI! I really hope she does really well.

Well I know it will be a few days before the next post I am on my dad's computer right now since I didn't feel like bringing mine out of the case. I am thinking about putting pictures I have from growing up as a blog but don't think I will.

If anyone actually reads this just to let y'all know my birthday is in 14 DAYS!! I would say can't wait but it is the 3rd day of classes...yeah right. Oh, well.

I am trying to type this and not bust out laughing at my Frankie. I will try to get a few picture's of the dogs up in the next few days, or by my birthday at least.

Well gotta go be bored. Later

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

jack

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...

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.

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
