well, its good to see that some people heralded my return to xanga with shouts and the waving of hands!  i hope nobody lamented my return, but if they did, then i hope you are cursed with horrible clumsyness for three and a half weeks.  anyway, not much has happened as of late.  i went up to wichita falls (my homeland) and hung out with some peeps in the hood.  it was fun.  i hurt my leg (not badly) trying to skateboard down a huge mountain of dirt.  i ended up body rolling down rather than skateboarding, but it was still fun.  ah, also i played military ping pong with my buddy zac for 4 hours.  thats ping pong where you play three quick rounds, and the loser of the three rounds lifts up their shirt and the winner hits the ball as hard as you can at the other persons stomach.  hahahaha. sounds horrible, but it is quite fun. until you lose.  but we played for 4 hours.  it was great.  ah, i go back to college tomorrow.  looking foreward to it, i guess, but alot is going on that i dont like to have to deal with, schoolwise and personal life wise.  nothing major, just stupid teenager stuff.  but still, i dont want to have to deal with it.  sometimes i wish i could know what Gods plan for me was, so i wouldnt make stupid decisions.  i know everything that happens is part of God's will, but still, it would be great to know what that will is, so i wouldnt have to stumble around like a kid looking for his favorite toy in a giant tool chest with a blindfold.  thats how i feel when i make a choice that seems worthless, that seems like all it did was to eliminate one possible path out of a trillion that my life could take.  i dont know.  i dont know what i want to do with my life, i feel like im being a crappy witness, im struggling with my christian growth... i dont know.  all i know is, God is in control. and with prayer, reaidng his word, and communion with the believers, i know all will be well.  i just need to keep trusting him, no matter what.  its hard not to want to trust in yourself.  yourself is more tangible than God sometimes to the earthly heart.  but you just gotta know... not think, but know, that God is in control, and he is perfect.  thats pretty comforting.  i know i screw up on a daily basis, but God, he created a entire world, for pete's sake!  and he did it pretty good, if i do say so myself (me being the creation critic i am).  haha.  anyway, i love the way this post went from lighthearted to heavy as all get out, but thats what ive been thinking.  hope everyone is doing fantastically, and i shalt see you round the bend!  comment back!

haha, it has been literally forever since i have posted.  literally forever.  i just wanted to pop in and say hey, let people know that im still alive!  no, boiling acid hasnt spilt on my body reducing me to a quivering mass.  no, i did not fall into a river of lava (to quash those rumors).  ive just been really busy with college.  college rocks, but it is also challenging.  those darn responsibilities i keep trying to run away from, well they just keep coming back.  and now, i have alot more.  but you know what?  im dealing.  but i have to say, i couldnt do it without God.  He has kept me sane, smiling, and just plain there these past few months.  without him and the love and care of my christian friends and family, all is going well.  grades are ok (need to be better, but now bad).  im healthy (going to the gym everyday).  and i have friends (not much to put in parenthases here, the friends one pretty much explains itself).  like i said, i really enjoy college, but sometimes its rough.  anyway, its kinda late.  i should be out.  but im going to try and get more regular on the posting here.  i hope people havent forgotten about me... and i hope to see you guys at camp this summer!!  woot woot!  i havent cut my hair since last camp, so it should be interesting............well, thats it, and i love you all!

hey peeps and peepettes!  it has been many moons since i have posted, so i will cram alot of info into a small space.  college rocks, yet i get no sleep.  the past week i have not gotten in bed before 4.  not good.  due to this, the tripod (me and my nextdoor neighbors james and andrew) decided to institute a bedtime of 1:30.  that way we wont die...  or live our lives in somnombulistic limbo.  also, that is the name of our band, that we actually made and have written two songs.  one is about bashing emo kids, who cry about stuff yet have  great lives.  posers!  haha.  and the other is about love going awry.  it is kinda emo (ironically) but we made it so it isnt that bad.  im trying to get a site to put the music up on the internet, so that should happen soon.  good stuff!  other than that, i have been getting good quiz grades and homeworks, but sucked it up on a test.  a govt. test.  i shall do better.   getting sleep will help.  other than that, i have met many new people.  my floor is great, and everyone is awesome, so that fits my outgoing personality.  it is also the only coed floor in the dorm (kinda weird) but some of the girls are pretty cool, and i think it loosens our dorm up, not being all macho, testosterone guys.  i have good classes, but my myth class is the best.  so much fun.  oh, and today james huizenga's comp (i know i misspelled your name, im sorry dude. i can pronounce it though!) gave me a virus.  and that sucked.  but i got it cleaned up.  and james... i dont hold it against you.  you wont die.  not today... haha.  well, thats about all.  i miss all my san antonio, tyler, and camp friends, but i shall see you guys again soon!  well, next summer.  but thats less than a year away!  haha.  well, it is 1:59, and i have a paper, math homework, and reading in the Illiad.  the bedtime thing...  itll start tomorrow.  i love you guys, and comment back!  ok, random thought: is it considered a phobia if you are afraid of something that is incredibly random and insane?  for example, like a phobia of drowning in an underwater cave?  or burning to death while speaking in front of people?  or impaling yourself on a rocky outcropping while climbing mount everest?  or the best one, diving into water and not knowing which way to swim to get to the surface?  what would you call that?  nonedirectionalaquaphobia?   are those phobias?  or just things to watch out for.  i just dont know...

wow... your brain loses controll of all vital body functions when the time becomes 3:18 at night.  i am randomly twitched, and i believe i just  mouthed the Gettysburg adress, for reasons not fully known by myself.  anyway, quick synopses of the past few days.  two nights ago - pulled an allnighter.  second in 2 weeks.  not cool.  i realized at 2:30 in the morning that i had to do my laundry (wash, dry, iron) and write a one page paper.  super not cool.  so i consumed four red bulls in less than 24 hours and buckled down.  lived the rest of that day in somnombulistic limbo (i never really woke up, but was never asleep.  total dream world.  totally freaked me out.).  last night, i stayed up to about 3... but got up at 11:58!  it was amazing.  i walked out to the hall to take a shower at 12:25, stretched, yawned, and sayed good morning to my fellow student that had gotten up at 7... and were slightly mad at me.  haha.  i loved it.  then tonight i jsut stayed up in the hall talking to my friends (and my special best friend, rachel, for like 2 hours!  it was great) so that was fun.  then, at 3:24 (now) i realized that i had linguistics homework and classical mythology reading.  i am going to pass away.  not really.  but i will be severly inhibited.  for awhile.  anyway, i must get a handle on the  studying and homework.  i have no actually strategy.  but i shall.  i promise.  well, ill still give a random comment, which is basically anything floating through my whirling head right now.  how many ways can dude be used?  i believe i can use it 4000 and a half ways.  i might right a book.  what was your weirdest use of the word dude?  well, goodnight world.  i shall remain awake in you... to my chagrin.  stop taunting me with darkness!  bring me back the light!   oh, and i dont know why i will type this, but i have been running everyday for the past few days, and i am getting in great shape.  you  can see some muscles on my  body.  small ones, but at least they arent dead or on vacation or playing hide and seek with me.  bye.

Hello world.  i just throw out a hello to all you guys and guyettes out there.  had a good day, and an epifone... i will change my major.  now, instead of double majoring in mech eng and theater (which would have taken about 7 years) i will now major in biomedical engineering and minor in theater.  that will give me experience, but only take 5 years.  yay for saving 2 years of college!  can i hear a what what?  haha.  well, it's nearly 2, and i havent done my linguistics homework or theater reading.  wow.  that really sucks.  im not  gonna finish, i know it.  but whatever.  take it all in stride.  do better.  haha.  party smarter, not harder.  and by the way, i dont party here in college.  well, i mean i go hang out with friends, but for everyone that  knows my faith and such, no, it isnt shattered and demolished in the center for liberality and sin that is UT and austin.  haha.  i hooked up with RUF yesturday (really fun, good message, and the leader guy knows phil, the bassett bro!).  that was good.  oh, and i went swing dancing again!  learning charleston and lindy  hop.  i cant wait to blow all the camp guys out of the water next summer (instead of sitting on my no dancing butt and drinking punch).  it is so much fun.  and most of all, i cant wait to dance with the most beautiful, caring, and amazing girl ever, who of course is... wait for it.... wait.... waaaaaaiiiiiitttttt... rachel jean bassett!   haha.  kept you in suspence, didnt i?  man, im rambling.  done now.  it was a good ramble though.  well, yesturday other than swing dance and RUF, nothing happened.  and today all that happened was i started working on getting my schedule changed, went to a meeting for student government, decided to go to stubbs tomorrow, played ultimate frisbee for the first time (so great, by the way), and talked for awhile with rachel (i look foreward to that so much).  so very uneventful college life so far.  itll get better.  oh, and tomorrow i hope to get my ear pierced.  im pretty exited.  nothing  drastic.  just the ear.  should be good.  well, good night world, and have fun doing what youre doing (probably sleeping, as i should).  random thought: wow... i almost fell asleep on my desk... and that hurt alot... desks are wooden, and God did not make wood for your face to come in contact with it for resting purposes.  comment back peeps from da' hood!
