| i'm back. camp was pretty cool i guess...mostly though it was a
reminder of how painfully mediocre i am. anyways i'm back home
and looking forward to the rest of the summer (whatever that entails)
so call me up or something. peace.
guys, i think its about time for this xanga thing to be over for
me. i feel like especially lately (crap even in this post) all i
do is focus on the negative, and that in turn makes me even more
depressed. then i see that nobody comments and i'm all like ohhh
no no one likes me anymore and blah blah blah...its an endless
cycle. from now on, if you wanna know whats going on with me,
we'll do it the right way. so, i leave you with this, Psalm
139:7-10:
where can i go from your spirit?
or where can i flee from your presence?
if i ascend to heaven,
you are there;
if i make my bed in sheol,
behold, you are there.
if i take the wings of the dawn,
if i dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
even there your hand will lead me,
and your right hand will lay hold of me.
Lord, I have come down off the mountain. I thank you that you met
me there and now I ask that you will help me to know you are with me in
the valley. And that's it. I'm changing my password to a
random string of letters and numbers and that's going to be it.
You know I love you all. Well, most of you anyways.

through right now but we can pray for them, so remember them and pray
for them.

| I want to break free. Free from the routine, free from the way it
has been forever. Not that it's bad...no, I definitely love what
we've established here. It's safe, and fun. But I want
something new...new people, new scenery, new stuff to do. The
last month or so has put some stuff into perspective a little
bit. Sometimes, stuff can't be changed and you just have to go
with it. Other times, you can change stuff. I want to be
more of a people person...maybe this is me getting geared up for
ministry? I kind of hope so. Maybe I will be a youth
minister and I will marry a doctor and it will be really hard at first
with me in seminary and her in medical school but then she will make
lots of money. Or...maybe I'll marry a teacher, and it will be
hard moneywise the whole time, but we'd be happy. Or maybe I
won't get married because I won't find a woman who can put up with me... .
Nah, I'll be ok. I went outside a few minutes ago and I wished I
was sitting out in a field somewhere. Perhaps a field of
wildflowers and puppy dogs? A place where I could see the stars
though. It's cool outside, so a bonfire might be in order.
Not a drunken bonfire though, kool-aid could be served. Maybe if
we got crazy, we could drink Coke or Pepsi. I'd probably want
Coke and a Snickers. But something different. To randomly
drive to Louisiana, just to see the river. Or Memphis. Heck
even randomly to Oxford. We're going to the beach on Saturday and
I hope I can make the most of my time there. To me, it doesn't
get much better than sitting out under the stars where the ocean and
the land meet, strumming a guitar but not actually playing
anything. Well, I imagine it could if I were wooing a stunning
young lady...heh. I doubt I'll be doing that any time soon.
I remember after my senior year of high school me and Jordan Miller
sitting out on the beach playing guitar at 2 in the morning while
Arthur Corbitt skim boarded...behind us our entire school it seemed was
getting smashed and our other 2 comrades were watching a movie in
someone else's condo. Eh...I ramble, as this whole post has been
nothing but rambling. It's cool though, it's good to just be able
to sit and write about nothing.

| well its been an interesting week...here's to hoping my summer picks up from the rocky start.
| | |
| ITS OVER. MY SOPHOMORE YEAR OF COLLEGE IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER (assuming i passed everything).
well...it's been quite a year. and if i were still doing the
whole life story thing, this would make one of the more interesting
years, but im not because im far too lazy and those things always got
me into trouble. so pretty much from now until june 28th will be
friggin awesome because of doing nothing, the beach, and camp, but
after that i have no idea what is going on.
