So...its saturday night. I have a calculus test on monday, a chemistry final next week and all I want to do is...well...nothing. I sat on my couch wondering what I could to do to waste time and avoid studying....then it hit me! I should do some letters for Lillards. Its kind of like Toys for Tots but not at all like it. So here it goes.....

Huckabee is the man. I mean the guy has a strong moral base, He wants to board this country up and keep out illegals (as well as deport the others the heck out of here!), and he is not afraid to tax beer and cigarettes to improve the education system. What more could you want? As much as I want to continue to go on about politics I just can't. I listen to Michael Savage and Rush everyday along with Ann Coulter's article weekly so I think I need a little break. But on that note, just real quick, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh are softys and need to get back on the road less traveled. We cant afford to lose them on the right! Everyday the muslims gain more and more ground in our schools, society, and even D.C.!!! and we have to do all we can to stop this immediately. Rush and Sean must stand up and not be threatened by CAIR and other orginizations that plan to extinguish the truth about the dangers of Islam! OK really im done...moving on

Im starting to redo my ATI application materials and cant believe its been a year since I did it last. Im hoping for the best this time around, but if I dont get in again I know that God has something in store for me. Its my dream but dreams are just dreams. There is so much more to life than my wants that I think are o so important. I dont think I was mature enough last year around this time to do well so rejection was a blessing in disguise. I have so much more knowledge in the realm of pacing and now realize how little i knew! Talking to tyler keeps me on the drive to achieve that dream job and hopefully one day well get to work together. I know ill sell more than him so that could be a problem...hahaha. Oh yeah, I bought this St Jude Medical book containing all the pacing terms last week off ebay and it was 50 bucks. I was ok with that till it was small enough to fit in my mailbox. Its borderline handheld and is only 147 pages long!!!! What the heck! I know times are good, but not that good!

Today was the typical day at the house....wokeup, had breakfast, then headed out to the car barn to do the usual Hot Rod saturdays. We tore out the old 6 cylinder and dropped a 327 in the 52 chevy deluxe and its looking better each day. Ill put up some pics since in know girls love cars...hahaha. After that I went out and hit a bucket of balls at the range and came home. I woulda played a round of golf but mom said we had to put our ornaments on the tree. We get a hallmark every year so I got depressed when i had to put up 23 and Im still living at home....but, whatever.

Ok its late, Im old, and Im tired. I like writing these things but I never do. And I always say ill write more but i dont...strange.

Gnight

Sorry its been so long... i know my fans have been so anxiously awaiting my next words of wisdom to bless their eyes... so here it goes. Few things I'm not so happy about in today's world. George Bush. Let me say that never has a man been such a coward, back stabber, traitor, or sell-out to the American people...esp the conservatives (unless of course you are including liberals but i consider them vicious animals, not men (and i mean men as in both genders...or all 3? (sorry to offend the liberals...haha)), so we already know their intentions are evil). man that's a lot of parenthesis within parenthesis...anyway, how can one consider himself a conservative and then allow tree huggers, illegal aliens, the freakin kennedys, the homosexuals, and the now liberal controlled house to push you around?!!! I was pleased with his work until this year. I'm for the war effort, OK with Oil companies bringing in record numbers, and definitely OK with everyone making more money than they ever dreamed possible! but I'm NOT OK with illegals flooding the borders, government telling us where we can and cannot drill during an middle eastern crisis, money put into bogus global warming research ( it happens, duh, it will always happen), and George doing what Ted Kennedys tells him to do. I mean the list goes on and on...just call him Kennedy why don't you!...hes obviously a liar so he'll fit right in with the whole bunch. Everyday I wonder why I didn't go into politics....I'm opinionated...most of the time right....and love to debate....I think i made an A on the test....ooo but wait...I'm honest....maybe I'm not allowed to run for office. All I know is that the right wing is known for its strong values and morals and that's something that i like to be true to. I cant understand what made Bush think he WAS a republican...and even more a conservative...hes a luke warm, middle of the road moderate!...never has there been a more ridiculous place to stand on any issue than in the middle. people that hold on to the middle are insecure and just don't have to courage to research and form an opinion that holds true to the values that they hold close to themselves. Or they just have no values. My plea to people is to be educated about what you are talking about or standing for....or never speak about the issues...simple as that. That's not mean, it just makes sense. OK enough on that...to the lighter side of life. I may turn my center planter in our circle drive into a golf green. I texted jerad to ask him what grass should be used but for an answer i got a call when he was headed home from the office. now that's a good brother in law people. He gave me some tips and leads and now i shall begin to tackle this project and keep yall updated on its progress. Lets see...i smoked a test in micro, had some killer potato soup from Jason's deli, and i got to try out a new driver at golf head quarters right before lunch. All in all...good day. Sorry it took so long to write on this thing....but i was moving...but now I'm settled and shall do my very best to keep my fans happy......ciao!

thought of the day

(wont be long...im tired)

This goes for everyone....If mothers day rolls around and you havent bought tricia a gift yet....dont buy her a dog.

O Hail Ye Mighty State....

Well im finally back in the Lone Star State and loving it all. Matt Pruitt took the trip back down with me cause he had never been to west Texas before. We left at 2:30 on saturday morning out of Little Rock and met up with my brother in law and sister at some old cafe for breakfast. It was good seeing them for a bit cause they leave the country in august. While eating breakfast i had something fly out of nowhere and hit me in the face and then into my plate. I looked up and gave matt an evil look telling him to grow up....but when i looked at him he had the same look i did but he was looking across the room.....i followed his line of vision and was shocked at what i found. It was just some old man laughing with his old little girlfriend. WHAT?!... I didnt know if i was mad or shocked. He then yelled across the cafe that he was sorry and thought i was his grandson. We were also laughing by that time but not cause it was funny, but more cause we were trying to make sense of the situation. The old man came over and asked us where we were from and he happened to have visited his grandson at Harding over the Christmas Break....small world....but then he told us that his girlfirend was the mom of the actual "rookie" that the movie was written about. I might believe this cause the rookie was based out of Reagan County Big Lake but again who knows. Matt and I now have come to the conclusion that this man is a chronic liar and just goes around with that lady and hits people in the face with paper....but you never know. We hit the road again and threw down some more red bulls so we could stay awake. We made it into midland around 230....yeah weird...cause it usually takes me 12.5 hours without stopping...and we made it in 12 with an hr break...maybe we sped?.....We went to baseball game that night cause Midland is awesome and never loses!....but after bragging about them we got there in the 7th inning and the hounds were down 8-3!!...so i felt like an idiot. But as always....we won!....we came back in the 8th and 9th and won the game 9-8 cause the shortstop overthrew first....ok im done talking about the game. Next morning the fam went to church and i had an odd question asked of me...they want me to be a preaching intern? ok what?...now im lost.....i mean i know im loud....but im scared of public speaking....just not my cup of tea....but well see where it goes...i may try....I know this was boring but i must go and register for summer classes....ill write more when i return and throw a good thought of the day in there...ciao!

wednesday...no thursday

gifts. Tonight they so its thursday morning....3:36 am and i figured that now would be as good of a time as any to add to this thing. I woke up on the later side of the day today (not to disappoint Randy and Tricia...sorry if i did) but made the most out of what was left in it. Travis and I woke up and went to hit some balls on the range and I had a horrible day. So i needed a breather and obtained that by going back to the house and doing a load of laundry at Travis' house. Which during that time he complained that he had a bump in his stomach and it hurt when he pressed it...prolly a hernia ...but who knows. We made some lunch and just discussed the outs and ins of life and i still dont think that guy has any idea on what he wants to do with his future. After grubbing we decided to hit the links and play a round. I did surprisingly better so it ended up a good day. I cleaned up, went to church for a good feast, and now im here at Callies and Rachels. Nick and I just back from wal mart and we got the girls our usual nightly walmart recieved an extremely nice tin of band aid gum...its awesome...wanted it for myself but i know how much callie loves bubble gum...ok no i dont but it gave me an excuse not to chew it. Last time we brought them in some cakes that were made of animals or i think one was just a car...and the icing taste like play dough apparently. And i have a bone to pick with cake making companies...who wants that gross icing anyway?...i love the whipped and only the whipped...i mean come on...ok now that i think about it im not mad at the cakemakers at all...its the consumers....they wouldnt make them any more if people wouldnt buy them...i almost know for a fact people complain about it after they buy it...come on people...just stop buying bad products and they will no longer be made!....its pure logic. same things with the cookies out of the bakeries....people buy the cheap ones that taste like cardboard cause the dont want to fork out the xtra 2 dollars...i just look at peoples cart and know that when they get home they will realize that they just paid 4 dollars to battle through some awful cookie instead of 6 to savor another...but again, maybe its me?....am i at fault for not sharing with them what i know?....somethings you wonder....then i was thinking about something else today....gas prices...this isnt a political debate cause id win...its more of a get what you pay for speech...just think about it...were paying practically nothing for something that is millions of years old out of the ground.....and i get 33 miles to the gallon......one gallon is about three dollars....and much rather pay three dollars than to ride a horse and buggy for 33 miles....heck id pay 10....its just so efficient that its hard for me to complain about the gas prices....ok thats it for tonight...ill have more later....ciao and gnight!

now to continue the to be continued...but instead of starting where i left off i must rewind and tell a vital part of yesterdays trip...Before turning on to the Lillard's exit i figured i would go ahead and give a courtesy call to tell them i was nearing the house...I had the wrong last 4 digits of their house phone stored in my cell but did not know this at the time...(that was unneeded information...cause logically i would not have dialed it knowing it was the wrong number)...I dialed the stored number and without confirmation on who was on the other end i began talking to the gentleman on the other end of the call. I ask him to tell me exactly where his house was so that i could get there and he acted like he didn't know what i was talking about. So i was thinking it was Randy and Tricia had not told him the time I would be coming. So I said this, "O Ill be there in like 10 minutes, you might not know this but your wife does"...hahaha!...Yeah i have no idea how to take that...cause he then told me that It wasn't Mr Lillard. geesh. so intense. Ok thats it...back to the regular story. When we left memphis and bought some spanish CDs at Best Buy and listened to them on the ride home. We approached the Des Arc exit and the fuel came on so we stopped to get gas, coke, and an awful hot dog...its not a road trip without an awful hot dog. But we got a little more than that. We took the exit and found 4 guys out of gas and 2 of them were a little tipsy...so we parked the car on the side of the highway and clicked the hazards. The had a huge 4 door la sabre and the best part was one of them said that he should drive instead of push because he knows how to drive cars that are out of gas really well. So around the corner and over the bridge we pushed the car and let them all ride down as we returned to our car. After that it was smooth riding all the way to searcy. We got back around 830ish and i ate at cozymels with amory and matt then went on to jills and hung with callie, jill and lee ann. that closed the day...

Monday...

Slept till 9...long time since i have had time to do that...I woke up and cleaned the house all day. It was awful. I never leave my room and therefore i dont think i need to clean the kitchen or the living room. I never use them. I wake up...get dressed...go to work...then come home and go to bed. But today i broke down cleaned the house. The entire house...took a good 5 hours. Now worn to the point of not wanting to go on i needed a boost. I headed to McDonalds and grabbed a cup of Joe (if you didnt know this, McDonalds won the taste test this year even over Starbucks). Im now sitting here on the couch with travis and eating a hot pocket and going to watch heath be a champion (ill explain that tommorow..haha)...ciao!

What a weekend!

So I no longer work at my job and needed to fill time with this 2 week vacation that i now have availible. I also made my little brother in law (jamal) cry a couple weekends ago and i felt bad so promised him lunch at some point. Callie tried to convince me to wait till the summer but I had this weekend open and felt like road tripping anyway. (no worries Callie, i still plan on a roadtrip this summer as well) The trip was good and i brought on an accomplice along that we shall, for this story, call matt pruitt. But only because that is his real name. We arrived in Memphis in the afternoon, around the 17th hour of the day (5ish) and matt and i played ball with the neighborhood kids and jamal. Tekia im sure would have played but she was way too preocupied with a little tube of yellow candy that was to her what a nintendo DS was to Jamal. OK hold on rewind. The reason we arrived so late to the Lillards was that I was playing golf.....rephrase: I was attempting to play golf with Jared and two of his buddies that morning and had a great time and a not so great score....in fact, i think it got to the point jared was only writing my score down if i was worth remembering. Back to the topic at hand. When we arrived to Memphis our host, the Lillards, took us all out to the flying fish and had a dandy ol time. We ate, drank (Dr Pepper), and were merry all through the night and matt had a lady friend to see so i let him have to car and rode home in between tekia and jamal. awesome. no, seriously. the things you find out about life if you will just take some time out of life and listen to a kid. We stayed up a little bit and then it was time for bed...of course when i was told to sleep upstairs i was my typical self and didnt listen to the details. I assumed i was in the same place as usual and went to the gameroom. Little did i know, there was a whole room set up for me and i didnt even get to sleep in it! regardless of that fact i had a great night sleep and woke up and went on to church. Church, Mr Lillard's class, then a fiesta party with a cake action was what the morning brought me. After the fiesta we went home and recharged for a bit cause we had a big day at the fields for baseball practice. You just never know how out of shape you are until you run around with a bunch of 12 yr olds...but i held my own...dont jump to conclusions. We did the drills as a usual baseball team would and i just added to a sunburn that i recieved the previous day. It still burns. OK now Callie has to use this computer for a project so ill finish this later...Thanks for a great weekend tricia!! ciao ciao!!
