Ahh...There's nothing like a good swim to cheer you up when you are down. I swear, Blues music only exists because B.B. King couldn't swim.

In case you didn't know, the Women's Auxiliary might just be the coolest cats on campus. Thanks to their generous work in the Clothes Closet, I now have two more blazers and a pretty snazzy sweater vest. God bless those little old ladies.

Paul McNeil's birthday party was most entertaining. Nancy Jane was kind enough to open up her house for the event, and invited all of Paul's fellow student volunteers from Sprindale. For those who have never been, the Beanblossom estate is quite impressive; I mean how many people have a natural water fall in their back yard!

Well I would love to stay and type all day, but unfortunately I have places to go and people to casually aviod.

Rocket Summer Tickets

My friend Robbie is in from Arizona. If you run into him, give him a big hug and make sure he feels welcomed.

I was recently informed that the Relient k is sold out. If this indeed turns out to be "on the level" than I will be happy to buy some tickets off someone, which will be a whole lot nicer than me clubbing you in the back of the head with a lead pipe and taking the tickets from your blood drenched body.

Those of you who know me well no doubt are now having a conundrum, because while I am open about my respect and occasional enjoyment of Relient K, I am by no means a die hard fan. Well the reason for the sudden impulse of violence and bribery can be explained in three words: THE ROCKET SUMMER.

For the past two years I have admired, sung along with, and danced alone in my room to the wonderful music of Bryce Avery. I must see him live and will stop at no means to achieve my goal.

Ambition

I think I lost all of my ambition last week. I've been trying all day to find some ambition to do school. I mean, I checked my email, no ambition. I checked my facebook, and alas, other than the usaul poke from John Letoto, nothing. Even video games, which on occasion are a great source of ambition renewal, yeilded no positive results.

*SIGH*

There are far too many books on my shelf I have not read. I wish I could stop time and read for a couple of years and just read, and probally practice the piano. Then I would un-pause time and continue from where I left off, smarter and more talented.

Yeah... thats a good plan. I'll let you know how that works out.

Highlights

Okay, here are some quick highlights of the week:

1. Getting the "Doctor" card in mafia then preceeding to baffle the mafia and save the victim three times, leading to a crushing defeat for the mafia

2. Hearing a really good message from Pastor David Butler at Springdale Community Church

3. Dr. Joslin showing us "Baby got Book" in Hermeneutics.

4. Turning to see Dr. Adams dancing in the hallway to "Baby got Book" not knowing anyone caught had him.

5. Actually getting motivated to starte on a paper for the first time this semester

My First Open Dorms

Despite the insults from all the naysayers, I thought open dorms was a blast, a real first rate shin-dig. I said this several times tonight, but it bears repeating, Mullins is a pretty swank joint! I loved the color-coordinated, well kept rooms. All you ladies got an A plus in hospitality in my book.

After the ladies departed I was pleasantly suprised to find Dr. Mohler on the hall with his faithful sidekick Baxter. It is so swell that he takes the time to talk with us.

if any of my devoted readers feel my most recent entries have been little lacking in the length department, I highly recommend they go back and re-read my entries over Christmas break, those were written carefully when I had a lot of time to kill. they average three long paragraphs in length and were usually written in frequencies of every three days, as compared to this paltry once a week schedule that my job, classes, and having an actual life has regretably forced upon me. the Christmas break entries, if I may say so myself, were written fairly prolifically and are incredibly fascinating, please refer to those when you are bored with your own life.

on a side note, the "super bowl" is tonight. I can remember when I cared about football, but that was a long time ago.

I snapped this picture when it was fall and not so bitterly cold.

In this case the currently reading Shadow of the Almighty actually means just finished reading Shadow of the Almighty. It is an incredible book, I pass it on with the highest regards. The real test will be writing the five page book review tomorrow, as to get a jump start on the semester.

Incidentally as I was finishing the book upstairs in Honeycutt my ear recognized the well amplified sound of John Letoto laughing (no surprise) downstairs in Founders (again no surprise). In typical Toto fashion he was entertaining more than one Boyce lady with his Hawaiian laid back charm. I joined in for a brief commentary on why light red is called pink but light blue still blue.

It does me a great pleasure to see the return of my beloved third floor eastside brothers, most recently Joiner, Paul Carr, and Tolly. Also, Carver's most prestigious hall now boast the occupation of Jordan Anderson, Chip, and Sean Morris- clinching that not only are we the coolest hall but in fact the best looking.

Now I have go beat a bunch of fourth floor kids in Risk. See you in the funny pages.
