For all the ladies....

im gunna let you ladies in on a little secret about men...so listen close. when you are hanging out with your man and he is watching tv or looking off into the distance or just not really looking too engaged into anything....when you ask him what he is thinking and he says nothing, its the truth. he really isnt thinking at all. men have this great ability to just clear their head and just exist for a little while. no thought at all.

let me know if i am wrong, but you ladies are not blessed with this gift from God. there is always something goin on upstairs with yall. i really dont know which would be best. being brainless part time or brainfull(not a real word, but work with me) full time.

Happy days are on their way

the inner man is coming out of me once again. you see, next week is the homecoming for clemson which means that FCA is building a float. this makes me happy...so very happy to be honest. wood, chicken wire, saw dust, power tools, staple guns, ladders, what more could a guy want. i have been cooped up doing school work for far too long. i haven't had a chance to be active and really apply myself to a tangible, real project. so, i am really looking forward to next monday at noon when we can start up with the float and apply my skills to other things than school.

i'll tell ya some more reasons why this float makes me happy. first, i love creating. i love pouring myself into something and stepping back when it finished and being proud of what was accomplished (not that im God, but it must be kinda like what God felt on the seventh day). second, i love to empower people. i love to come along side of someone and help them and guide them to accomplish something that they never knew they could do. i have a feeling that there will be some freshmen that will be out there next week that by the end of the week will look at what they helped do, and be pleasantly surprised. i know i always am.

plus, as an added benefit, i get to wear my tool belt and look sexy (inside joke).

Test tonight

for all you prayer people...i have an accounting 201 exam tonight at 7pm. i have put the study time in but i still think i may take its toll. so, if you have a minute, please pray for me.

French Kiss Life

there is a kenny chesney song that talks about french kissing life right in the mouth. for some reason those words leap right out of the song and hit me square in the heart. thats what i want to do. i want to grab the bull by the horns...live life to the fullest...take the red pill and stay in wonderland...play rough and ride hard...french kiss life right in the mouth. i dont know, maybe i am different. maybe its the high action, adventurous guyness come out of me. i just feel like people miss it. myself included sometimes. we just get wrapped up in the day-to-day class/work and miss out on what life has to offer. so, to all you fuddy-duddy's, you have to keep it spicy cause you dont know if tomorrow will be there like we think it will. so, climb that mountain, tell your mom you love her, get up early and watch the sunrise in the cool morning, and hold that girls hand in the moonlight.

God Moved

i am blessed. well, for more reasons than this but this is the most recent blessing. so i have a rather large research paper that is due on tuesday, and i a some other stuff going on as well. but, i just got an email from my prof and he has postponed the the due date a week. that means i have a whole nother week to procrastinate. oh yeah. feelin good. doin the bull dance.

Holding Pattern

So, being a student at Clemson University has been great (all 6 years), but there comes a time when enough is enough. I think that time is now for me. Especially when the people that I grew tight with have left me for the real world. Plus, being that I am such an impeccable student, I am having take a load and a half of class this semester. No fun....No fun at all for this kid. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This is my last year. Then its off to tropical islands, mountain tops, and other exciting things. No, in all seriousness, this time in my life is tough, but I can see how God is teaching me perseverance (which can be something I stuggle with). This is where God has me and this is where I will try to bring him all the glory (while I am currently supposed to be writing a 10 page paper but I am creating a blog instead, go me and my good studentness, ha).
