Ashely met me at work before i got off and went and got coffee at CC's. Tiff was supposed to meet us there, but she was off or somethin... so Ash and i headed to my house to kill some time till Tiff was available. Turns out Ash knows my ex g/f Ashli from dancing, which leads me to believe she may also know brooklyn from dancing. neway... we met Tiff at coffee call. that was fun. after, Ash and i headed back to CC's b.c that's where we left her car. we hung out for a lil longer and she headed home.
all in all a very good night. Ash is very cool and Tiff is a sweety. I met their friend Ron too and he reminds me very much of Drew, minus the many holes and the ink. I hope i get to see them again sometime soon.
i was headed to new orleans tomorrow, but i found out my sister is dancing in a competition up here tomorrow, so i'm going to wait till tomorrow evening. Seems that konni and i have planns to get a group together and go to a coffee house out on veteran's by laser tag on sunday and then go play laser tag... now that i think about it, i'd better check to see if they're open... and what time.
peace.

all day long konni has been on my heart for some reason, so i called her this evening at work. we talked for a while and everything is cool. her and kent are getting along well again and it seems like she's got it all worked about about not worrying about dating and just seeking God and stuph. i'm very proud of her. I used to look up to her so much before i was saved. like she was somewhere that i didn't know how to get to. then after i was saved i saw that she had problems of her own and i really started to worry about her and pray for her. i'm very happy for her and i'm comforted that i know she's doing things right.
i asked God for something a few weeks ago and so far he's just been throwin what i ask for down on me like it's no body's business... it's amazing how he could grant something to me that i never understood, much less asked for before. it's absolutly wonderful. it's very out of character for me and it makes it all the more better.

ah,lazy day. it's like 2:30 and i'm still in bed. i just took a moment to take on the largest pile of dirty clothes i have ever seen. it was up to my chin and i'm not even exagerating (no cracks about that minmal distance of my chin from the ground due to my vertically challenged state). so yeah... that's about it. just been chatin with my friends. as it appears thus far, me ashley tiff and a couple of tiff's friends are going to be painting the town (or maybe just CC's) tonight. fun fun. means i wont be headed to new orleans until tomorrow... more fun work in store for me at my grandma's house. i'm out kids...

kelly d. came over after work... i have to think of a nickname for her... b/c if i just call her kelly... those of you who know kelly m. are going to think it's her and i dont wanna call kelly d. that b.c it's just kinda too formal... neways... kel came over and we hung out and then nat came over and we went to starbucks... but they were closed... so we went to CC's on bluebonnet and talked n stuph. then we came back to my house and hung out. it was really nice to see them... i really dont remember the last time i did. kelly got me some new boxers and some suppa sweet socks for Christmas... she's awesome!

ever since i got home i've just slowly felt better and better. right now i feel better than i think i've felt in over a month. just total peace.
i got paid for working on my grandma's this weekend so i went and bought a new NIV Student Bible, and a case to put it in and another book i've been wanting to read from Sunshine. there went all the money i got... what i got is way better than nething else i could have spent it on.
i really wanted to go to a service this evening... but alas... no luck. punks. guess me and Jesus are just going to have to have some quite time alone.
Shane Barnard is going to be back in like two months... suppa sweet.
i think i'm going to go to CCs on jefferson after i leave work tonight.
later kids, luv ya'll

1:10 pm - the life i choose to live

Preacher pulled the boy up from the water
Alleluias rose from the banks
There was a new suit of clothes from his Father
And a prayer of thanks
The boy walked barefooted all the way home for dinner
And when they laughted at his muddy feet...
He said I've been through the water and I've come out clean
Got new clothes to cover me
And you don't wear your old shoes on your brand new feet
When you've been through the water
Ah been through the water
Preacher turned them aournd at the altar
Pronounced the boy and his girl "man and wife"
In two years they were Mother and Father
And they built them a life
And his old girlfriend saw a moment of weakness
And she said "If you're lonely come see me sometime..."
He said I've been through the water and I've come out clean
Got new clothes to cover me
And you don't wear your old shoes on your brand new feet
When you've been through the water
Ah been through the water
He baits a hook with his grandson of seven
And says "Soon, I'll be free from these pains."
The boy asked if he's ever been to heaven
He says "No... but I think I know the way... 'cause I've been through the water..."
I've been through the water and I've come out clean
Got new clothes to cover me
And you don't wear your old shoes on your brand new feet
When you've been through the water
Ah been through the water

woke up at like 7am... yuck... couldn't get back to sleep, so i ate breakfast and came home. the stupid interstate was closed at highland, so i got off a prairieville and ended up on nicholson... dont ask... but i got home.
so i've figured a few things out on my own:
i need to stop looking for happiness. the only thing that i'm going to find true happiness in is already in my life... everything else just adds to it.
people will respect you more for who you are than who you're trying to be. stand for something and people will come into your life that share those things. if you dont stand for nething no one is ever going to stand next to you.
i have a great plan for my life and there's someone out there who is meant to share that with me... she wont be here tomorrow. God, and school, and my store are all more important to me right now than a relationship and all are more than enough work to keep me occupied.
i bet none of you missed me ceptfa the people who never see me neway.
i need to stop expecting anything from anyone. it's only going to let me down. the only people who live up to what i expect of them end up wanting something from me that i'm not willing to give them.
my friends pretty much bite or dont exist and i can't really care nemore. i'm tired of looking for people to include in my life... they're going to have to stumble across me.
enough of that...
my new desktop is comming in today... i'm sure i'll spend the night messing up CDs. if neone would like to interupt me... feel free.

The cleaning is finished in the front of the house and the painting has begun... I should complete it tomorrow. Still not totally clear on tomorrows plans...

yeah, it's like 6am and i'm just getting in. i think i'm the only person on earth who can have this much fun with this group of people and not be trashed. ran into nick francis tonight and met his g.f. she's really cool. we ended up talkin all night about everything. it was nice just to meet someone new. she invited me to her house for new years, so i will probably stop by.
still not where i want to be, but i'll live. sometimes i wonder why. then i realize i'm just being selfish... it isn't about me not matter how much i want it to be.
my cell phone just went dead and that's what i was connected on... so this wont get posted till tomorrow morning... that bites.
i'm going to sleep and try to forget my life here...

5:25 pm - "...sounds like you are doing great and having fun..."
|
not
having fun... but if you know me, you know it's hard for me NOT to have fun. but the doing great part isn't all true.
left work yesterday and didn't have ne plans, so i headed to new orleans. and since i was out of town... everyone called me... brooklyn, leslie, toby, lacey, natalie... and the list continues.
met some new people, thought it would make me feel better... it didn't. stayed at phish's house. it was nice seeing him again.
woke up and went to mah gran's house. at her food and then came back to BR.
stoped at brooklyns to hang out. fell asleep and SHE PAINTED MY FINGERNAILS. i wake up and i have red fingertips... it wasn't cool. that'll teach me to fall asleep in mixed company.
didn't make it home, went strait from there to work... so i'm still in my going out clothes... but charlin washed and dried my shirt and i had left my bathroom stuph at my gran's last time i was there, so i got to clean up, so i'm not nasty or anything.
options are pleantiful tonight in new orleans, but i dont really feel like driving all that much. if i find nething remotely fun to do up here i'll stay and go to NO tomorrow. After i leave i wont be back till wed i dont think. i should be finished renivating my place down there by then. it's going to be boutit.
i've resorted to using my selfdegredating practices to make others feel better. it's nice to know that making yourself look like a stupid idiot can bring a smile to someone elses face.
Chantel Forest said she wants to get together sometime this weekend. i haven't seen her since our failed attempted at relationship bliss like half a year ago. (which included the awesomest date i've ever had...music... wine... the river... picnic... the zoo... cool spring afternoon) i think she has a boyfriend now, which is awesom. maybe now we can be friends.
look me up... dial the digits before 8:30 if you expect me to be in town tonight. later.

guess who's truck is a lot louder... yep, you're right MINE. droped it off at like 9 and picked it up at like 12 and it's like a different truck. i love it!
looks like i'm not getting that present just yet. it's all good.
my dad and i spent the morning together. we talked a lot about me opening the store. its one of the few things in my life that he actually thinks is a good idea. i think he tried to call me out by asking me stuph that he didn't think i had thought about, but i answered it all and more. we talked about all my plans down to how i want to live in livingston or gonzales and build my house on a large plot where i can build a breeding facility and be close to it.
we ran (walked) from the house to the shop to pick up my truck so we could ride back together. i dont think he expected it to be as loud as it was. he had this big stupid grin on his face when i started it the first time like i did. we road around together for a while. we went to the Harley store and looked at some bikes. They were testing one on the dyno, so we watched, it was cool. We want to get matching bikes when i get a little older and open the store.
if any of you that i know are doing something tonight, fill me in, i dont have plans thus far.
peace

My car is 46 - 60% dependable. 
I get all kinds of play in this thing, but I really need to do something about that cologne scented air freshner, it reeks. I am saving up some cash, and maybe in a while I can get that velvet upolstry I've been wanting. If the van is a rockin' don't come a-knockin'.

i am the king of mixed emotions latly. i'm sad for all the obvious reasons. the death of two friends and the loss of a girl i thought was real. i cant get over those right now, but on top of that i'm supper happy b/c one of my friends is driving a butt long way just to hang out with me. i mean a LONG way, like a buncha states away. that's just cool. not matter what, i know i am VERY blessed. i have a wonderful family and a nice home. i have friends that are constantly there for me no matter what. i have a girl that i've known my entire college life who still doesn't mind putting up with me and feeding me now and then. i have a great friend who's finally come around to accepting me for who i am, not what i (don't) do. i have wonderful plans for my own life that everyone supports me in reaching. i have a glorious God who's always by my side no matter how hard it gets and who will always love me as long as i give rememberence for what he's done for me and live in his glory. asking for anything else would just be selfish.
