I never write in xanga anymore. It's not that I don't have interesting thoughts or complex moral issues anymore. I think I quit writing because I was afraid of people reading it and thinking that there has never been a more confused person. I sway back and forth on a lot of topics so I'm going to keep the madness to myself. Maybe then, I can also say what I mean.
Thanks for reading,

| Friday off. School's back in session and I'm feeling good about this semster. I have finally worked my way up to the GPA requirement to apply to Grady and will be doing so within the week. I've really come to appreciate it more after having to wait for so long for this chance. I also added Sociology as a second major along with an intention to earn a new media certificate. Months ago I was worrying about switching my major or transfering out of UGA. I am finally taking some classes that are relevant to my life direction of telecomm. On my plate for this semester is a Print Media Journalism class, which dives into the history of mass media as a whole. Along with that, I have my two amazing New Media classes: Media Production and Digital Brown Bag.
My DBB class requires that we keep a weekly blog that pertains to New Media, so I might just use this one. We are required to keep one and read those of others in our class. What an awesome class.
Also news in my life, I up and quit at Ameripark. It is a fun job that pays well. I like the guys I work with. But when everything is tallied, the thrill of the job is fading. The pay is shrinking along with business. There was a time when I would do that job for free. Now you can't pay me enough. For the first time in almost two years, I have Friday night off. What will I do???

I really feel lost. I've been coasting for a while now and I'm starting to lose momentum. I was better at this when my future was totally unforseen. Now I'm starting to a see a little light at the end of the tunnel and ya see what's happening? I'm so freakin' lame. I think backpacking is my most sincere form of worship. When I'm out there, I mean what I pray. I need to go again.

I am the body, He is the life.

I just watched the rest of Thank You For
Smoking. Its a great, thought provoking movie and everyone should
see it. Personally, it really made me think about how proving
someone wrong sometimes passes off as thinking you're right in this
world. Nick is the maincharacter who is a lobbist for big tobacco
and Joey is his son who doesn't understand his father's job.
- Nick: Well, if it's your job to be right, then you're never wrong.
- Joey: But what if you are wrong?.
- Nick: Okay, let's say that you're defending chocolate and
I'm defending vanilla. Now, if l were to say to you "Vanilla's the best
flavor ice cream," you'd say...?.
- Joey: "No, chocolate is."
- Nick: Exactly. But you can't win that argument. So, I'll ask
you. So you think chocolate is the end-all and be-all of ice cream, do
you?.
- Joey: It's the best ice cream; I wouldn't order any other.
- Nick: Oh. So it's all chocolate for you, is it?.
- Joey: Yes, chocolate is all I need.
- Nick: Well, I need more than chocolate. And for that matter,
I need more than vanilla. I believe that we need freedom and choice
when it comes to our ice cream, and that, Joey Naylor, that is the
definition of liberty.
- Joey: But that's not what we're talking about.
- Nick: Ah, but that's what I'm talking about.
- Joey: But... you didn't prove that vanilla's the best.
- Nick: I didn't have to. I proved that you're wrong and if you're wrong, I'm right.
- Joey: But you still didn't convince me.
- Nick: Because I'm not after you. I'm after them.
Joey is young but not stupid. Sadly, people still want to
smoke. Oh well. I won't say anymore. Make you're own
opinion.
