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.

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.


































To cop

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.

First Week,,,,,,,

Well I have met basically all of my teachers, except for my Astronomy Lab, but I am sooooo EXCITED!!! This year is gonna be so great I can finally say since my Freshman year that I will be here all year, expecially since I took last fall off. This morning I had my Math 245 which is Math for Elementary Teachers I. It seems like its gonna be fun. I had ever other class yesterday. It's gonna be fun this year and I missed the first 2 things during "Dis"Orientation, the first week activities at Rebels. Tonight there is suppose to be a cookout at Sardis and I cant wait for that. Well I gotta go start reading a book. TTYL

Spazzed

K well here goes. I always want to know what dreams mean so if you can interpret this one please do cause it is really bothering me.

*The dream goes like this....I am walking down a gravel road with a guy that i think is either my younger brother or my grandfather ( but I cant be sure). Then i look down and see dogs walkin with me which is normal for me but its the dogs that are spazzin me out. There are 4 of them I recongnized 3 of the 4 as dogs that have "moved on" . One died when i was 8 another about 2 yrs ago. and the other disappeared about a year ago (we think she ran off b/c of my otherone having puppies). the fourth one I dont know because i couldnt really see it. and I bent down bauling my eyes out b/c i LOVED those dogs and I couldnt believe that there i was walkin and met them. They of course acted like they did around me all through our friendship they kissed and "fought to get attention". but then "Puddin" the one who disappeared looked me in the eyes and what i saw there scared me....
so bad that I woke up and Couldnt go back to sleep for a few hours (actually about an hour and a half.) Whats so bad is that I really miss Puddin and Cinnamon who were in this dream and were part of my growin up. expecially cinnamon we got her when i was 3 or 4 and she died when i was 18*. I just wish that I could figure what scared me so bad.

ITS OVER!!!!

YEAH SPRING BREAK IS OVER.......not.

I am glad but i also think it stinks that Spring Break is over. I liked the thought of being at home but my brothers have been brats but that's what they are for. I got my picts from the Slidell Trip on my computer after having to go through a diagnostic test on my CDROM, that wasnt working, but it is now. (THANK GOODNESS). I don't wanna complain but even though this computer is HUGE and a major pain it still works, and this is the first "problem" I have had to deal with. Oh well, hopefully I will be getting a new one with more than just a CDROM on it. But I can't complain to badly since I didn't buy this one it was a graduation present from my uncle.

Well as for the pictures from Slidell, I have them on Facebook. Check them out.

Gotta go to bed TTYL

Jack

(p.s. i am just putting a link)

A Blessing.....

Well I got back yesterday from a trip to the coast. Slidell in particular. I can't imagine on how it was just 6 monthes ago. I know that there are still people who are still just gutting out their houses that still have the junkie mold all over them.
I know that some of yall are gonna get tired of these posts but the truth needs to come out. While I was helping gutting out a house in Slidell I took a small break and some of us (the girls who were gutting) went and talked to the person who owned the house. Oh well I walked in on the conversation. I know that she said that it took them up to a month ago to get the fema trailers which are sooooo small.

But anyway....THe gutting was not as bad as some on the news had said I mean there were tie-die mold on the walls, but as long as we kept the mask and goggles on it helped with the dust and stuff but I have benn blowing out black stuff ever since but that is a little grose.

Well I will put picts up in a few days once i get them downloaded on my mom's computer.

Fun Day

Well I have had an interesting day to say the least. I woke up and had to go get a blue book for my class that I had a test in today. But i left the dorm and slid a few times heading to the union but i thought i was being cautious enough. Got the blue book, was walking toward the grove and all of a sudden BAM...
I hit concrete with my right knee(the corner nonetheless) so i bounced right up after that and thought i did good b/c i didnt twist my ancle. Well in the grove this morning right after this was a hawk. It was just sitting there watching all of us humans slipping and slidng on the ice. So I thought that was a good sign and had to laugh. Well I took my test and had to go back to the room b/c of some feminine problems. So I went to my 11o'clock class. Nothing big happened. Went to eat at the commons and then a few friends showed up (one was already there) One of which was from rebels. YEAH I am not the only one that eats there.
Any way. as i am sitting there i notice that my ankle is SWELLING. Oh well, after the fall i had go figure. now i am about to take a nap so ttyl.

Jack

(yes i did post the exact same thing on my myspace blog)
