looking through some old pics, I saw this one of me, obviously in a deeply contemplative mood, probably wondering if god really exists or something... who knows




"Oh for a faith that will not shrink"... ella's a staunch baptist, she was goin nuts over the baby in the manger, and i think she was chewing on Mary's head too.

awsome weekend.
So we left for pittsburgh at six thirty and got there at like eleven. Thing is rosina kept saying "we're almost there" and we never got there.... till like a half hour later. so that was weird. we partied at nelson and vanessa's house that night till like one oclock, then went to harlans, where i slept.
then saturday cart and erica and lori or lindsey (i get em mixed up lol) and I went shopping and i got an eagles CD and a johnny cash CD for dirt cheap, which i somthin i like. everbody had clearance sales so it was cool.
Oh yeah and there is this awsome store out there called guitar center. So carson had the guts to ask if we can just play and the guy was like "yeah sure man waddya need?" So he ripped a les paul off the wall and we were playing for a while. oh yeah and we played a bass to. lets start a band. :D
so then we played voleyball, (well sorta, it was kind of a flop cuz noone felt like playing) and we hung out at nelson and vanessa's again and watched alvin and the chipmucnks. lolololol.
Then we went to church, ate lunch and came home.
mebbe vannessa will post pics, i dunno. but i didnt take any.

ttyl,

A quote i found while surfing comments on a CNN news story.

"Let me tell you how this fake holiday is a great excuse to get drunk and forget about our problems. Yay!!! lets celebrate Jesus, when we are so far from Him, on a day He was never born, and do all the things He is against. … WHAT A HOLIDAY…!!!!!"

wowie. this guy has a point

Just keep running
You'll forget all your problems when your falling through the air.
Walk into the dragons mouth, pretend theres nothing there.
Don't look up, shut your eyes.
The Eagle's dropping from the sky
Hung up on his own yard arm
There is reason for alarm.
Just keep running.

This is a post dedicated to my feathered friends... enjoy!! click on the pic to enlarge it.)

the doves... gotta love these guys. I got within touching distance of this one. she is sitting on two babies in this pic. Doves are awsome. I already crawled up a tree and petted one on the back for several minutes before she knew what was up. There very trusting, and you can go within touching distance in a matter of ten minutes. really fun. obtw this is what i do when the rest of you guys are out there shooting them. :D. I dont shoot doves. squirrels, rabbits, deer, sure. but not doves.

alright ttyl guys, i needa get back to my schoolwork.

what i do in church.... i have some ppl concerned for my soul so let me know what you think

You saw him standing in the shelter of a church
His mind is dancing with the demons... watch his lurch
The priests inside
dont really mind
just so he stays out of their castle
They chant an ave so god cant wrestle
with their minds
just watch him die.

we are American.
We can rape the world without a reason why
Just keep this to yourself and by and by
Everyone
Will be one
With our dreams of total world control
Selfdestructive monsters, on we roll
just let me go.
and let them try
to make the life they want
To us they arent worth anything
If they cant help us do our thing
so help them god.

this is soooo good

enjoy

seen on a billboard...

"get peace of mind: get life insurance."

god i wish it were that easy

Frail Grasp on the Big Picture

These are some of the lyrics from a song by the seventies rock band Eagles.

Well, ain't it a shame
That our short little memories
Never seem to learn
The message of history
We keep makin' the same mistakes
Over and over and over and over again
And then we wonder why
We're in the shape we're in

Frail grasp on the big picture
Light fading and the fog is getting thicker
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
Dark ages

And we pray to our Lord
Who we know is American
He reigns from on high
He speaks to us through middlemen
And he shepherds his flock
We sing out and we praise His name
He supports us in war
He presides over football games
And the right will prevail
All our troubles shall be resolved
We have faith in the Lord

Frail grasp on the big picture
It's a frail grasp on the big picture
Heaven help us
