| I think the last time I posted on this thing was a little less than a year ago. I didn't forget about it since I still get emails from xanga letting me know when someone has updated their site.
Let's see... the last time I posted on here, I was still working at Shake's, I lived in Monticello, Bryn was in California and Ryan Stawnsby was my roommate. It seems like a lot has happened since then; although I think I'm still the same person.
I work for Sprint now and I quit working at the Custard Palace back in April. Speaking of the custard palace... I found out last week that it will be closing on the 19th, which happens to be my birthday. Kinda weird, huh? Even though I never go back to those stomping grounds, I think I'm going to miss the place.
Here's what the future holds for Shake's:
I guess things are going okay with school; I'm already tired of it though.
Bryn and I will be going to McKinney on Saturday night and then on Sunday, we will be going to The Album Leaf show in Denton. My parents just moved into their brand new house a little over a month ago, so I'm excited to finally be able to visit.
I thought about going to Jack n' Jill's Donuts a few minutes ago but I'm too lazy to drive across town just for some Devil's Cake donuts.
I was addicted to buying Michael Jordan shoes for a while, but realizing that I've spent a little over $600 on four pairs of shoes has cured me from that addiction. At least they're some tight kicks, right?
As seen in the movie Space Jam:
I thought that I would have a lot more to say because I thought I was in that mood where you feel like writing, but I think it's gone now.

| To all my friends present, past and beyond
Especially those who weren’t with us too long;
Life is the most precious thing you can lose.
While you were here fun was never ending,
Laugh a minute only the beginning,
Canton, Colvin, Nichols and MITCH this ones for you!
Thanksgiving is coming up pretty soon and I guess I'm kind of excited about that. My family and I will be traveling to the Houston area to spend the holiday with my relatives in La Porte. I've never really liked the city of Houston, mainly because the Houston Oilers used to always beat the Dallas Cowboys. I remember one year, I even cried after the Cowboys had lost to the Oilers and it was only a preseason game.
Josh won't be able to join us for Thanksgiving this year and I think that's going to make things really weird. Every Thanksgiving, we all eat our turkey, mashed potatoes, corn and bread rolls followed by watching the Cowboys game and this year, Josh won't be able to be a part of that. The reason why he won't be able to be there is because I guess he put in a schedule request too late and wasn't able to have the Thanksgiving break off so he will have to stay here in Abilene and work at Wal-Mart instead. I never really thought about all of this until just now and I feel kind of bad for him. I know that he is going to miss spending time with our whole family and especially watching the Cowboys game with us. I don't even think he is going to be able to watch the whole game because I think he said that he has to work from 5-9.
School is going okay. I just got my American Literature test back and I made a 77 on it, which is a lot better than what I had made on my first test. I'm pretty tired of my Basic News class. I've been thinking about going to Oxford for Summer II so we'll just see what happens with that.
Bryn is coming back to Abilene on Saturday for the Thanksgiving break, and I'm going to be picking her up from the airport. I think that things are going really well between us. We haven't had any arguments since she's been in California and I hope it can stay that way. I kind of want to go back to California and visit her. I really enjoyed being there with her back in August.
So I've gone back to selling stuff on eBay again. Right now, I have $102 in my bank account and it has been making me kind of nervous so I listed a few things on eBay. A guitar that my dad gave me to sell on eBay just sold last night for $99.99 so I'm excited about that. I also sold this Urban Outfitters t-shirt that I never wore and I currently have three other things listed right now. Bryn wanted to help me with my financial struggles so she sent me pictures of a few things that she never wore and told me to sell them on eBay so that I can make some more money.

| Tonight I went on my second journey with the night riders. I think my first time with them, which was last week, was a lot better than tonight’s. We had a total of 49 people including one professor.
Recently, I have found myself not worrying about school or just not caring. I’m kind of worried about this because I know that I’ve got to do well in school. Maybe I am just overwhelmed right now with school and work. I’ve been working about 20-25 hours a week and sometimes I feel as if Shake’s is taking up all of my free time; I feel like I am missing out on a lot because of having to work. I guess I could ask for fewer hours but then I wouldn’t have enough money for rent and bills.
I bought some surround sound speakers today at Wal-Mart; they were only $40… we’ll see how long those last. This past weekend, I came down with a fever and a cough. I am still coughing every now and then but not as much as before; it seems like a lot of people that I know have been getting sick lately.

| We Are All So Small
An
interesting thought came to me while I was taking a shower. This thought came to me after I heard an
annoying scream come from the showerhead that sounded like the yawning of an
airplane as it flies across the sky. As
the water came rushing out of the showerhead and onto my head, I thought about
the times that I have flown in an airplane. I remembered looking out the window
as we flew across God’s green and blue planet from one place to the other and
then I realized how small we really are.
While we are living our every day lives, we worry about so many
things. I remembered being hundreds of
feet in the air and realizing that nothing really seems to matter when you are
so high in the air. Sure, you may think
about whether or not you will arrive at your destination safe and sound but I
never once thought about the other problems that were going on in my life. It’s funny to think about how we take this
life so seriously and worry about so many things when we don’t even know for
sure what will happen in the next ten seconds. | | |
