I'm having one of those days where I wish I was just chillin with some friends having a good time, not worrying about life, school, or anything, just sitting back and having some fun. My life right now, centers around school, but i guess thats the price I pay for living over 8 hours away from all my friends from high school, its caused me to have less distractions though, which has caused my grades to go up, but as happy as that makes me, im also equally depressed that I cant call up most of my friends on a friday night and see if they want to go hang out or something, it gets old really quickly when all you have to do on a friday night is either work, clean, or sit around and watch some movie by yourself. You can only do those things so much before you go crazy,,,, I guess what im trying to say is that im at a crossroads in my life and I need everyone to pray for me to make the right decisions......

i figured that i should explain what that quote means to me...
to me it means that I shouldn't be afraid to go to knoxville or kentucky for school just because iv finally become comfortable with chattanooga, I shouldn't stay here because UTC would be easire for me, it might not be the best thing for me, not to say that leaving would be either. I need to at least take the chance of going to school somewhere "better" and if it doesn't work out, I can always come home to Chattanooga and UTC. I also feel that I need to be willing to go after the things that I want, instead of sitting back and waiting for them to come to me. I used to always be afraid to take a risk. I was afraid of what came when you failed or the risk backfired in your face. Well, lately Iv reliezed that it's better to have at least tried than to have never tried and always wondered what couldv'e been.
On A lighter note, IM 20 yrs old and I can call myself a "has been", I "was" named to all-star teams in baseball 8 different years growing up. I still have the trouphies to prove it. I "was" a starter on various football teams. It's funny how as a kid you never thought that you would already be looking back at your childhood, wondering what happened, wondering what couldv'e been. I still to this day believe that I would still be playing baseball somewhere had I not gotten pissed off at the coach that one year. That is the one main thing from my past that bothers me, Quitting baseball, my one single largest passion in life.
My advice for everyone,
"never give up
no matter how hard it may be.
you'll always regret quitting."
I know that I regret it.
Current Mood:  thoughtful

"Don’t be afraid to leave the place in your life that’s comfortable. Don’t be afraid
to take a risk.
Maybe it will be the key that opens the door to a cure for cancer. Maybe it will be
the invention that changes the way we fuel our cars, travel in airplanes, or listen
to music.
You’ll only know if you try."
Senator Bill Frist
I found this to be a quote that means alot to me.
classes start in 7hours, Im sooo excited

Hey yall,
well its 1am and i just fixed the internet on the home pc. Now all i have to fix is the wireless internet card on my laptop, that should be tricky but iv always been good with computers so we will see.
The past couple of days have been good for me, but not great. Iv gotten in some great workouts. Im fitting into shirts i havnt been able to wear in at least 3 maybe 4 years.
I have also been going to church every week now that iv asked off for sunday afternoons. going to church has always made me feel better, so i hope i continue to get these off.
school starts tuesday, im looking forward to it, if anything, it gives me something to do.
Im split on what i want to do after this summer,
its split into 3 options ranked from 1-3
1) Transfer up to knoxville
2) Stay at UTC
3) Transfer to The University Of Kentucky (only 17,000 for out of state tuition) its always been a school that iv looked at both for its business programs and for its journalism program.
I have a month and a half to make my decision, so we will see what happens
Later

ahh Bob Marley...
I never really thought that I would enjoy his music as much as i have been, its some good stuff. Seeing someone like him write his lyrics about love, politics and ohter thing, can really inspire one. He doesnt sugarcoat anything, he tells it just like it is. You have to respect someone for telling it like it is.. Go Bob Marley!!!
Sitting around with nothing to do but wait for grades to be posted is like watching paint dry on a wall
im thinking about taking my sisters to the lookouts game tonight..
Sports is what helps keep me sane. without it i would go crazy

10:31 pm - summer of experimentation??
SO iv spent the past few days listening to some different music and iv figured out a few things, A) the music that i like not quite country, but not quite rock has a name, Alternitive. and B) the three people that im listening to right now are Jack Johnson, Bob Marley, and Dave Matthews Band C)You cant say you dont like something untill you try/listen to it first.
I spent most of my friday night after exams listening to these three artist and just relaxing around the house. It felt good to just relax and not worry about anything.
i never quite pictured Bob Marley as someone who wrote about love but check out these lyrics I found.
"Is This Love"
I wanna love you and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room, Jah provide the bread
Is this love, is this love
Is this love, is this love that I'm feelin'?
(Repeat)
I wanna know, wanna know, wanna know now
I got to know, got to know, got to know now
I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
I wanna love you
I wanna love and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room, oh, Jah provide the bread
Is this love, is this love,
Is this love, is this love that I'm feelin?
(Repeat)
Oh, yes I know, yes I know, yes I know now. (Repeat)
I, I'm willing and able
So I throw my cards on your table
See, I wanna love you
I wanna love and treat you right, love and treat you right
I wanna love you every day and every night
We'll be together with a roof right over our heads
We'll share the shelter of my single bed
We'll share the same room, Jah provide the bread
We'll share the shelter of my single bed.
I just found it different to see lyrics frim him about love but it turns out that many of his songs are about that subject. Good Stuff,
I have also decided that this summer will be known as the summer of "fun/Experimentation" It should be interesting to see what goes on this summer........here is a short list of some of the things i want to do this summer
Go Camping
Go to a Braves Game
Go to a couple of concerts- most likely in nashville since i have a free place to crash afterwards if i want to.
Id like to get high for the second time in my life!!(Iv gotten high before? I bet that is news to everyone!!!)
Spend a day in nashville visiting the country music hall of fame amoung other things
And Hopefully one other thing will happen for me!!(Im working on it)
THese are only a few of the things i want to do this summer.
IF ANYONE WANTS TO HELP ME ACCOMPLISH THESE THINGS, JUST LET ME KNOW
Peace out untill later

Im back!!
wow, where do i start.
i'm doing great in almost every way possible. i should end up with anywhere from a 3.0 to a 3.5 gpa. so im pretty much kicking ass and taking names.
i'm the happiest i have ever been since i moved down here. i guess you could say that im finally warming up to chattanooga.
Baseball season started and im so happy about it
I really want to goto nashville sometime and see the country music hall of fame.
these are little tidbits from my mind
