Hmm so what to post since it is the first time i ahve posted in a year. It seems that the road since my last poast looks nothing like i expected. i am an engineering degree. I have a Cat. I am ingaged to be married to the love of my life. I am working in the hot hot sun at BP on the Tennessee river and i have been to louisianna and worked 200 feet in the air on 30" Nine chrome pipe. I have hauled chain fall. I have bulked up. I have reaquainted myself with god. I have lost alot of friendships and gained more valueable ones. i Have tempered the ones i had before and kept into a strong steel hopefully never to be broken. I spend most of my time now working and trying to plan my wedding on Aug 2, 2008. I have purchased a laptop and tried to invent something but am too scared to get a patent on it. I Pray to the lord in heaven that i will be able to keep a family in the future and make them all happy and self sufficient citizens. I am about to hit the pool but i just wanted to start posting again because it makes me sane.

| spring break so far.... |
[16 Mar 2007|10:54am] |
well so far i have driven 10 hours one way to tampa and had a blast. went to see phil at McDill AFB and we went to disney world. got in free because greg works there. i wish i had gotten to see him alot more but he had to work that day. after that we drove all the way back to tuscaloosa the next day.... another 10 hours. once back in tuscaloosa we slept like we hadent slept in days... because we hadnt. drove home on tuesday and saw 300 that night. gotta say great movie.Wednesday went fishing with my dad (for 12 hours) and got a sun burn but cought alot of fish. on thursday i took katie with us out on the river to fish. fished for 8 hours and it rained. we got soaked and had alot of fun. then we pulled up and went to my moms to get showers to go to "much ado about nothing" (calhoun version) that my mom had to see for her english class. It was awful. nothing like what i expected and the acting was so terrible it should have just been a reading of the script to the audience. now i am headed back home to read a book and do a book review.

| MLA is total bull shit |
[05 Mar 2007|01:48am] |
yea i just finished a research paper and i still think that MLA is total bull shit.
ok no idea is original? where the fuck do they get that? they mena to say that all things are learned...ok i get that but some things are self taught hense DEDUCTIVE REASONING if it were not for the ability for humans to reason then there wouldnt have been a history in the first place because no one would have written anything down but yet paradoxically they did and they didnt cite their scources because i know for a fact that if it was written down and its a part of history that automatically makes it atleast second hand. so why should i cite anything???? ever???? i am not lying and even if i was i would only be hurting myself.
ok so thats not all i have been up to lately.
i have been trying desperately to reach a man named greg doud but alas i have failed in my attempts.
other than that i have been working my ass off and haveing some beers with the guys. i have no idea where i am gonna lve next semester but i hope i can afford to live alone because no one i know is up to my cleanliness standards but me (poor katie) just cant seem to find a decent room mate.
thought alot about death and religion the other day. here is an interesting fact that will blow your mind
before people could talk. there was religion. prehistoric peoples buried their kin wrapping them in the fetal position and painting them red. historians and archeologists are stumped.
here is my oppinion. they knew that they were from the earth and when they were born they were bloody and red and in the fetal position. so why not retun to the womb of the earth the same way you came out?

Throughout the past few mnths i have not been updating due to the fact that i have been both busy and that i am growing less confident in the people of whoms journals i read not all mind you but it is definately time for a afriends list checkup.
Over the past 2 weeks i have taken apart my engin and put it back togather all in the name of transportation. i thanks god for giving me that ability to understand mechanics and beable to work on cars (even though my hands swell up). I find that i can save about 500 dollars every time i open my hood. I blew a head gasket if you are wondering and for most of you you really dont know what that is but you can look it up
yea
yea i repaired it and i loved every minute of it. i would say that being a mechanic is my calling but i would not be happy as a mechanic. its like they say, "hobbies arent your job for a reason" i really dont want to ruin the last and most sacred hobby i have.
my dad called me 5 or six times in the past 2 days. most of you know how i hate this. mostly because he is a dick. i was trying to file my taxes before he could so that i could claim myself instead of him claiming me and taking all my refund money.... but alas i was not successfull. when he called he tried to convince me that i was going to get more money back by being a dependant and then he proceeded to buy me off with 100 dollars. seeing as how i had been check mated i agreed to take this compensation as a treaty perk for this year of tax refund stand off. but .... he will not win next year. (BTW as a student your are alloted 2000 dollars back every year just for paying tuition.) what am i going to do with out that money. i guess i wont be doing what ever it was i was going to do with that money. i will just have to grind and survive.
I think this spring break i am going to go to disney world with katie. i hope i will have the money by then. i really love her alot. and it would mean the world to her to actually get to take a trip with me instead of having just a weekend at the beach. we never really have time together but i know that i love her. both her pros and her cons. ill put it this way and you can quote this......
With out cons what are pros? i want trouble in my life and i want to enjoy every minute of it.

[14 Jan 2007|09:30am] |
i have been thinking and it seems that most people use lj to complian which is cool everyone wants to complain.....they want to feel as though someone is listening. makes them feel wanted. some of the posts are total bullshit but they achieve the fulfillment of pity for that person. some people shore things with links....i like these people. not too much to say so it doesnt take up alot of space but yet endless info from them. some express poetry...thats cool just try not to suck at poetry. come to think iof it lj helps us to express every type of emotion....
but then i come to looking at the replies to these posts..... and.... no one replies.... or the reply is negative.... less than 30% of the time is it ever positive.
this leads me to believe that i would rather post something on paper and tie it to a helium baloon and send it off rather than post it on the internet.... the chance of response is about the same but the chance of a positive response is greatly improved....
who listens anymore?

| holy shit i am updating |
[01 Jan 2007|07:20pm] |
so i have started working at mercades with nathaniel. i am only in training but i love it already. funny shit happens there all the time and most of the poeple who work there hate their job so they get bitchy about it. I on the other hand think it funny as hell. some guys got sassy with me about my not opening his tool box myself to check it before he left the plant. (i make them open it so i am not liable for the objects inside the tool box) so i told him that he was a random search and that he needed to get out of the vehicle and put his hands on the hood and that i would be back with the metal detector......he then kindly got out of his truck and oppened his tool box. needless to say he shut his mouth after that.
christ \mas was fun and so was new years. i go back to work tomorrow and for some reason i feel like i dont have anything to worry about even though i should be worried sick.

[03 Dec 2006|05:58pm] |
Life is so strange when its changin, yes indeed
Well Ive seen the hard times and the pressures been on me
But I keep on workin like the workin man do
And Ive got my act together, gonna walk all over you
(chorus)
Gimme back my bullets
Put em back where they belong
Aint foolin around cause I done had my fun
Aint gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets
Sweet talkin people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But Im leavin this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry cause I do not sing the blues
(chorus)
Gimme back my bullets
Put em back where they belong
Aint foolin around cause I done had my fun
Aint gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh, put em back... where they belong
Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well Ive been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I got it back, Im feelin better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way
(chorus)
Gimme back my bullets
Put em back where they belong
Aint foolin around, cause I done had my fun
Aint gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh put em back where they belong
Gimme back my bullets

| todays top story |
[26 Nov 2006|12:23pm] |
I am still under the impression that i have cracked a vertibra. it doesnt hurt as bad as it di before but it is still casing discomfort maybe three or four times a day. i will heal.
my little brother let me know this weekend that i am literally a jack of all trades. there are very few topics which i could not tell you much about. i may be missinformed on many of these topics but i do know about them. this brings me to the conclusion that my brain is full and that cars wishing to park in my brain should proceed the the parking deck of paper. (maybe that was too complex i hope everyone gets it)
i was late to work this morning. i now have to interrogate my phone to figure out why it decided to skip over my alarm this morning probably causeing me to join paths with my imminent death.
my job in comparison to gravy:
my job is easy to do/make as is gravy.
but sometimes people want gormet. and then its hard to find the materials to do/make my job.
i find that i am motivated by the lynard skynard song "gimme back my bullets"
especially the line " i ain't foolin' around cuz' i done had my fun.... ain't gonna see no more damage done."
ust give me a feeling like he is standing his ground do or die.
if the word poor was a color i think it would be a dark purple like the color your arm turns whe you bruise it really badly.
also my whole body would be this color.
its funny how we all try to find ways to be useful but some of us refuse to be used. kinda defeats the purpose dont you think?

| good friends |
[19 Nov 2006|01:12pm] |
so last night i scared off 2 of our guests and i injred a few people and i got into fights and i hurt my girlfriends feeling really bad.
but this morning when i woke up i didnt remember any of it. but i was told the story of what happened and it mad me sad but i have been thinking about what it is to be a good friend
a good friend is the girl who will stay with you even though you yell at he for no reason and throw things at her.
a good friend is the guy who will restrain you when you are tackling people and make you go to your room.
a good friend puts you in a choke hold and chokes you out when you are being rediculous
a good friend will wake you the next morning and tell you the story just to make sure that you are ok
a good friend is what i have in katie my brother and nathaniel.
thanks guys...even though i am an asshole

[12 Nov 2006|01:34pm] |
so i havent posted in a while and things have been real busy.
I have a new phone and number but i wont post it here.
I have spent most of the last couple of weeks trying to motivate myself to finish this semester. but alas i cannot seem to get it. i have skipped almost every class this week and it has been a welcome break but i am gona get them all next week even if the world explodes ecause of it. i really have no money but i am owed money by people but they dont seem to know how much i need it. i need to buy food for myself so that i stop eating out.... but i just cant get the courage to venture into walmart... i am pathetic and lazy what is my problem? why cant i just do things like the normal world. i seem to need more and more motivation. maybe i should get someone to hold me at gun point so that i will do it.

| Alabama Governor's Race v2 Your Result: You Should Vote for Loretta Nall To many, Nall's views are considered extreme. Funny though, in the early days of this country her views were shared by almost half of the politically active. She believes in small government that leaves its citizens alone. She has a soft immigration platform and has run an unconventional campaign. Even still, many out of state newspapers have said her campaign was the most honest of all. She didn't appear in the Governers debate and is the underdog.

Leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! Don't send a message, leave a comment on here. Next, re-post this on your lj and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty cool (and funny) to see the responses. Repost as "memories."
