| Well for the weekend it was another headache concerning work followed by a clean get away and a good drive home, by way of Chili's in Ennis for lunch. I had Aaron in the truck and we followed Mom to Huntsville going about 80mph or so, then Aaron and I split and headed home while Mom got gasoline. We were at the house a few hours and then Aaron and I went to go meet up with some folks at Sonic off of Fuqua in H-town. Caesar was there, along with Mark and a few others, Ames showed up briefly and I "met" her new bf, whom I've actually known off and on for several years, along with his brother. They're pretty good guys. Went to bed pretty late that night.
Saturday I got up and went for a haircut (photo may be pending). After that I came home and took a test online before my Spring Break really started. Then Aaron and I went to Caesar's house and we messed around with a frisbee for a bit with the guys, then went back to mi casa to go with Mom and Dad to the Winter Jam concert at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. We had lunch at this place called Johnny Rocket's, I've never seen so many pretty waitresses at one restaurant, I immediately wanted a job application, LOL. It was an old "Fifties" styled restaurant with little jukebox selections at each booth. The concert featured Sanctus Real, Newsong, Hawk Nelson, Steven Curtis Chapman, and Jeremy Camp, plus the "President" that comedian who looks like Pres. Bush. It was terrific concert, the first three artists were up there briefly, and then there was an intermission. The fun part was when Hawk Nelson asked for a volunteer and had this kid I know named Derrick Slidell get up on stage with him and sing some of "Hello" when they did that song. It was great stuff. After intermission I sat with Mark Jones and the Daughertys in the "lawn seats," and that was a lot of fun. Steven C Chapman did some classic favorites of his like "The Great Adventure," "Dive," Live out Loud." His son did a song (that his son wrote) too, and he sounded really good. Jeremy Camp was great. The comedian guy was hilarious. All-in-all, it was a magnificient concert.
Sunday:
Barely got up in time for church after not much sleep, and then Aaron and I went to College ministry, then the big service. I got to see my favorite "adopted" little sister Taylor Brown!!! I've missed her, she's so sweet and pretty. Definitely a wonderful little sister. My parents took Aaron and I to Fuddrucker's for some quality lunch food, then I changed at home and went out to Stevenson Park to hang out with GQ and Austin D for some V-ball, and then after that it was a round of frisbee golf, then I let out for mi a casa via Whataburger and a shake. Once I got home we had chicken enchiladas for dinner, and then we watched The Three Musketeers, The Pink Panther (the new one), and The Rescuers Down Under (an old Disney cartoon classic). Now I'm wrapping up my post, and we'll see what tomorrow holds for us when it arrives.
Adios mis amigos, love y'all!

| Well this weekend I went down to Waco (Wacko, lol) to hang out with my buddy Steven and get away from a mundane college weekend, and the headaches of the previous week. I apologize in advance because I forgot my camera...and pillow, haha. I got in early evening on Friday and then he and I met up with a friend of his at a car show at the convention center, after that we went back to Steven's apartment by way of Wal-Mart and just sat around watching TV and stuff.
Saturday we changed the oil in my truck and replaced the oil filter in it. Afterwards we went to this place called Rudy's, it's a Bar-B-Q place that's got real good food. After we ate we went back to the apartment and watched a little more TV, then went and watched Letters from Iwo Jima (for $5). It was pretty good. When we go back to the apartment we sat around in his room and talked for quite awhile, it was good stuff, I've missed sitting around with him and talking about how both our lives, and life itself, are going. Today we went to David Crowder's church, and today just happened to be one of the days that David Crowder's band led the worship, it was great. After church we went to this place called "Bush's Chicken" whew! That was good chicken, and for $5: 4 chicken tenders, fries, a 32oz drink, a roll, and gravy (or another side, I got an extra roll). After lunch we got back and then did a little hacky-sack with my soccer ball and then threw a frisbee around. I left at about 2 and went to Wal-Mart for gas, and then got back to DBU at about 4pm. It was nice drive back up, mostly because I took I-35W to FW instead of I-35E to Dallas, there was hardly any traffic and there was mostly just hills and stuff around the freeway. All in all the weekend was great, I'll give it an A+ and hopefully the rest of the week will fall into place. Cya later folks, love ya!!

| Wow, where the heck do I start?? LOL, well I guess I'll start with the beginning of Christmas Break... That was the wildest Christmas holiday I've ever had, between it being my first Christmas Break at college, getting arrested (yes ARRESTED!!) two days before Christmas, spent all of the 23rd in jail and then most of the morning on the 24th. When they finally let me out of there I met up with my parents and we went and saw the Texans-Colts game at my grandparents house, and the TEXANS WON IT!!!!! 27-24!!!! YEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAWWWW!!!!! I was also taking an online history class over the break, and then I had a group of friends over on New Year's weekend. I also got to see Rocky Balboa, man that was a good movie.
The arrest deal was pathetic, I got pulled over, thought the cop was
gonna go to the passenger window, rolled down that one, got outa the
truck when he yelled at me to get out, gave him my license, then put my
hands in my jacket pockets-which were empty-to keep 'em warm and then
after telling me 2x to take my hands outa my pockets searches me-jacket AND jean pockets???-pulls
out my Butterfly knife, and then pulls out his cuffs...and he pulled me
over for going 58 in a 45...but I re-drove the route and it was 55
speed limit. For anybody who wants to know, getting arrested and being
in jail is a terrible way to go, there is nothing cool about it
whatsoever, TRUST me. I wasn't in the worst jail in that county, but
the inside makes you feel like you're in a dog cage or something. The
dumbest part about being in jail was that the food was better than
DBU's cafeteria (the jail provides Sonic food-Toasted sandwich for
breakfast and a burger for lunch and one for dinner).
After that it was the beginning of a new semester... I love my philosophy and History classes (the history class is a Civil War and Reconstruction course). I've got some wonderfully nice and quiet roommates who are from Taiwan. It's such a nice change from last semester... Classes are good so far, though I still don't have any particular people that I hang out with, the guy I hung out with last semester couldn't come back for this one cuz of family difficulties. Work is starting to bite, until this semester I hadn't seen libraries as such a socially stifling environment, I'm thinking about trying to work at the DBU Coffee Shop next year, but I don't know. So thus far it's been a pretty good semester. Ooooh, one big thing that happened back in October: My best friend is getting married!!
So yeah, a WACKY Christmas Break followed by I so far mellow yet partially trying semester, but at least when I get back to my room I can expect peace and quiet... Well that's it for now folks, sorry I took so long, Adios!!

| Well I watched Braveheart today for the first time ever, it was a great movie, and it got me started on thinking about a lot of stuff (I didn't get all of the following out of that one movie, fyi). I've been thinking some about how all of us "live" we go about doing everything that we HAVE to do, or things that we WANT to do, but do we ever DO anything that has any bearing on our lives or on other people's lives? Do really we live, do we really believe in things? Or do we just go on and whatever it is we want to do or have to do, without any real thought of how we're affecting ourselves and others? Do we love (care about) others just to feel better, or because they care about us already? Or because we TRULY CARE, regardless of what the say/feel/do to us? The world we live in is so set on DOING things, that even we don't really think on the AFFECTS of what we're doing. In America we talk a lot about freedom, but we enslave ourselves to our jobs and our own selfish wants and wishes, do we ever stop and think about how it affects others around us, such as our family nd friends? That isn't to say we ALWAYS need to do stuff for others, but we should ALWAYS think of how others are affected in the way we handle things and what/how often we do things. God knows that we can't do it on our own, which is why He sent Christ to die for us and then sent the Holy Spirit in Christ's stead once Christ had departed. I know for me it is an incredible feeling to know that you've done something that is a major help to others, or a minor help, regardless it just makes it so worth it when somebody says thank you or knowing that they know you fully appreciate them. Knowing that you're truly loved and that someone genuinely cares about you, especially friends, it's just so awesome, so why not go out of your way to make others feel that way BEFORE they make you feel that way, instead of just reciprocating once someone has helped you or shown that they care. Freedom has a price as I've said before, but if it isn't utilized, then it's nothing. So I'm alive, am I really LIVING?? God's love is and always will be enough for me, but He can and does use friends to show me his love, though that is certainly not his only means of doing that, but why not show His love to others? There is more to life than just working and doing things, it's doing things that matter, and that positively affect others, things that make them feel appreciated. That's what I got for right now, I guess I'll leave it with the best quote from Braveheart: "We all have to die, but do we all really live?"
Cya round folks, love y'all, adios!

| Well it's been long enough since I posted, and I really don't know that I need to talk about the London part of the trip, because all I did was go around and take pictures (I had a blast, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't the same as the previous week). Well I'm at DBU now, just got through the first week of classes and work (I'm working at the campus library), and I'm loving every bit of it....except perhaps that one of my roommates seems kinda shallow, but I guess that I should try to get to know him better before I try and figure that out. Had an interesting thing happen today, and I'm glad that God has given me a cool head under such circumstances...I was going down the free way when the latch on my hood pulled lose and fell off the truck and suddenly my hood flipped up in front of me, cracking part of the windshield and messing up the molding (that plastic stuff on the part of the truck where the windshield wipers are). I turned on my hazard lights, slowed down and pulled over, and then I tied down the front of my hood to the frame of the truck, I'm looking to get it fixed muy pronto. That mostly what's been going on up here, other than making new friends/aquaintances nearly everyday. I'm loving it a lot, both the environment and the people. Well I guess that's it, I'll ttylz folks, Adios!! Love y'all!!
