| HAHAHA, so over a year, and it's update time...Xanga is old news thanks to Facebook. But I figured I'd update. An old friend IMed me tonight, and turned me back on to this kinda. LOL, wierd. So the last time I posted I said that the wedding plans were going well...well....they're done. I'm Married, have been for, oh 7 months! It snowed last night, and some today...in Arkansas. I love it. Southerners can't drive in snow, and think that the smallest amount is deadly. I'm about to quit my job at Movie Gallery...we just got the gayest of gay managers, and he's a spaz. I love the job...it's easy and free rentals, but I just can't work for that guy. And the other store in town, their manager is just straight up cocky...so...I dunno. I'm hoping God will open up a door for me to do something else that I enjoy. I'm gonna call around to the radio stations in town and see if I can get a radio show up and going somewhere. It's really hard to find work in Searcy. And when I find it, and I think it's going to be great...it turns around and an awesome manager gets promoted away from the store, and then it just gets gay. WOW! Venting anyone? Maybe I'll look into Hastings or something like that. I dunno, I need to figure something out. I'm gonna call around tomorrow maybe, and see who's hiring and who's not...and all that jazz. I still work at MyTown, but only part-time for sports and such. That's just not enough to pay for Health insurance, gas bills, electric bills, and food. Sarah's still working at Kroger, and I've gotta give her props for sticking in there for so long. I just pray that something comes through for me!

| Wow...so it's been a looooooooong time since I've updated, so here's an
update. Marriage plans are well...still in progess. Sarah
and I are trying to plan OUR wedding but other people are trying to
plan it for us. It's kinda of frustrating and imposing. I
understand that they're paying for it, but that's the way it
goes. It's our wedding, and what we choose is what we
choose. Ever since we've been engaged it's been this constant
slingshot of ideas flying at us, and it seems like out ideas are just
farts in the wind, and mean nothing, cause it's not what they
want. Don't get me wrong, K-Dawg Jordan is all for what we want
and thinks OUR ideas are a good idea, and the funny thing is, HE'S
PAYING FOR IT! It's the mother-in-law that's really creating
drama. ERRRGGGGGGG. So frustrating.
This week is kinda gonna stink, cause well...I have a butt load to
do. I have to make-up two mid-term exams, and have two other
test, as well as beginning to study for finals...oh my goodness.
PRAY FOR ME! And Sarah too...we're fine and dandy, never been
better, and our relationship seems to grow stronger and happier each
and every day. Every time I see her, I smile and realize
that...she's the most beautiful person, inside and out, and she's so
special! Alright, enough mushy stuff, I'm gonna hit the hay, or
go kill some Nazi's, haven't decided yet. TTYL!
PEACE!

| To all of you people who feel like they have to butt in on other
people's lives...you need to get one of your own...Life that is.
Brian and Marc, you both did exactly what we did, you butted in to
something that wasn't your buisness, this is a dual butt-in.
Katie butted into our buisness, and Brian and Marc you butted into
that. IT'S NOT YA'LLS PLACE. None of you are friends with
us, so don't act like you are and trying to act like you're better than
us...don't say that you aren't because you are. Brian, you know
NO ONE at my church. I don't attend Marysville, and if they want
to read stuff, that's their buisness, and pretty sad. This is our
lives on an internet blogspace. It's OUR feelings, of what WE do
in our daily lives. Friends comment on friends pages, and friends
stick up for friends on others pages. Those two categories...you
guys don't fit! You're not friends with the guy who cussed out
Tyler, Tyler himself, Lisa, Myself, or even Sarah. If we are in
the wrong it's something WE need to fix ourselves, not something that
needs to be publically chastized about by people who don't know the
facts. If it's threatening, that's another thing. I have a
mom, I have a dad...and if they saw what I wrote, they would have
laughed, because it was funny. I'm old enough and mature enough
to not have my mommy tell me what to do, or how to live my life.
This is it, if ya'll want to have the last word like you always do,
fine, this is what it is plain and simple...I have better things to
worry about in my life right now, I'm getting married in less than 8
months, and I have a brain tumor now. My brother is having heart
problems, and people are still suffering in central Africa.
Christians? "Each day, thousands of children die from aids,
malnutrition or some other poverty driven disease, and ya'll don't give
a shit. You're more worried about the fact that I just swore,
rather than the real issue." ~ Jim McGuiggan.
EDIT:
Point proven...look at my last post's comments!

| - Sugar We're Goin' Down Swingin'
Well, I'm sitting here in the Student Center right now, bored to
tears. Christian Home is cancelled until Friday AGAIN! So
that means that i should have slept in. However, Chapel rocked my
freakin face off today. It was really cool, and I was glad that I
got up to go! It was all done in foreign language, and if you're
not from here, or missed it, you're probably thinking, ok, what's so
great about that? Well, I'll tell you. First off, we sang
in Spanish, songs that we all knew, but they were in Spanish, and it
was probably the best singing chapel has had since the beginning of the
year. Second, Julius spoke, and he's from Kenya, and he spoke his
native language, and some guy translated, and it was really moving to
see that God's word had reached him at such a young age, and he kept
saying why he loved Harding, and it made me realize...All the
complaining and hate we have for the rules here, because Harding
doesn't let us live like the adults we are, is all for none.
Julius said it this morning..."I love Harding for what it stands for,
for the seeds that are planted all over because of it." That's
it! So we don't have MTV, get over it...so we can't stay out til
1 o'clock in the morning on a weekday, more sleep...so you have to keep
both feet on the....ok, nevermind, that rule is just gay...But the
point is...why are we here? What's our purpose? To learn to
live our lives in the future to the most potential possible. And
by that I mean to succeed in performing in a profession with a
christian outlook and attitude. Wow, I got on a kick...ok...back
to chapel, they ended chapel with four guys praying, first in English,
then in Spanish, French Creole, and finally German. It was really
inspiring to see that seed of Christ planted in different countries, as
Caleb put it, it's not just within our borders!
Ok, so that's all for that...this morning was amazing! Beautiful
sunrise, and I got up at 6:45, took a shower, got dressed and drove
over to Sarah's dorm. She has to get up on some days to take the
kids she babysits to school in the morning, so I got over there 5
minutes before she was to come outside, and waited. Here she came
in her pink pajama pants! Oh well...she didn't see me or my car,
so when she was opening her car, I snuck out of my car and over to her
door, and knocked on it...lol, she was a mix of tired and shocked, she
got out...oh wait...SHE ROLLED HER WINDOW DOWN. I so wanted to
say..."Uh, license and registration please." And then she saw why
I was there. She goes..."AWWW, why are you here" I handed
her her boquet of Orange Daisies and was like, because I love you, want
some company this morning? LOL, she was speechless! Score
for me! Well that's my day so far, I have to work news this,
evening, and then call people and get hung up on, hopefully getting
some money! So I'll try to post more later.
Love ya'll, You Stay Classy!

| OK!!! Update time...I'm really busy, so I don't have much time to update anymore...I'll try harder...
Recently I got the Sports anchor position for TV 16 here, and I'm also
doing play-by-play calling for Harding Academy football and also the
Bisons here on TV. Along with that I'm telemarketing alumni for
money, it pays, so I don't care, I still hate telemarketers. And
I'm trying really hard to get all B's in my classes, so...that's the
poop.
I need to go to the Studio and write my stories for the news tonight,
talk to ya'll later, if you're a Harding person tune in to Live at Five
at...well...five...PEACE!
