| Some things to ponder: Why do so many people measure success financially? Is this country so commercialized, that living a successful life depends on it? Why can't people get married for the right reasons? Why is the divorce rate so high? I think that the first two questions have a lot to do with the last two questions. Most household bouts start out with financial problems or issues. I wish people would realize that money can't buy everything, especially happiness. Yes, that is very cliche, but so very true. My aunt recently left my uncle for someone who makes more money. They were together for over 25 years. Why now? I don't understand this. Its not like they are/were poor, because they're pretty well off. I would make a bet that the reason for most of the depression cases, suicides, and crimes committed by someone who cracked are probably the result of years of pressure to make more money. Why can't people go for what they love to do? If what you love makes you a bunch of money, by all means, go for it. If it doesn't, there are plenty of ways to make money work for you. Whether or not you make a bunch, you can turn it into a bunch. If you're dedicated to being happier, you'll find a way to make your money grow through investments, savings, budgets, etc. Sorry to write about something so depressing, but it was on my mind for some reason. On a lighter note - I've found out what I'm really good at: Customer Service!! I'm back at Chick-fil-a, a customer service manager, and working on becoming an owner myself within the next 5 years. As soon as I finish up my Spanish classes, I begin travelling the country, doing grand openings, then its on to operator school. Then I get placed at a Chick-fil-a. However, all that over about 3-5 years. I finally have a plan. It feels great. The band and radio didn't work out, but I think this is more stable, and I found out I love it. I'm really good at helping people and making sure they get what they need. I've always felt like I was alright at things, like clarinet, sax, radio, etc. But I think I found the thing I'm actually an expert at. Its a wonderful feeling, knowing your calling in life. On top of all that, I've met the girl of my dreams. She has my heart and will keep it forever. I can't wait until we get to see eachother every day. Well, thats it. This might be my last post, because it seems that xanga has disappeared off the face of the planet, at least for most of the people on my list. Thats another question to ponder: What happened to Xanga? Oh well, if anyone reads this, they will notice quite a drastic difference between this one and the last post, a good difference.

| Well, I guess I might as well post on here. I've been in a slump lately, and haven't really gotten out yet. I moved out of the house on Shirley St. and out of Stephenville. I'm now living with my parents in Keller. So I have a few things that are keeping me in this slump. I'm having trouble finding a real job, you know, one that pays more than $8/hr. Its pretty tough. Since I have no job, I have no money. No money means I'm stuck with my folks until I find a job and get a financial base. I still owe money to Bret, and I have bills for credit cards and my computer that are due soon. On top of all that, I haven't seen LB since she left for Germany, and I won't be able to see her until after she gets back from Galveston with Lauren. I'm just not feeling too good about my life right now. Oh, and I got a fuckin' ticket today for not having my seat belt fastened. I miss everyone in S-ville and the guys around here spend every night in a bar, and I don't want to live like that. I think a lot of this will be better once I get a job. I hate money, but it makes life easier. Anyone wanting to visit me is more than welcome to. I have a pool in the backyard and volleyball and a park right down the street. Well, thats all from the depressed Compton. Deuces. | | |
| Well, KKPsi Convention was last weekend in Lubbock. It was a lot of fun. The ritual was awesome and the banquet was lame as usual, but still a good weekend. Friday night was the party night in Lubbock with my friends from Keller, it was bad ass. I love partying with those guys. Then I saw some other people I know, like Stacie and Kristen, and it was great. All of my brothers felt a little out of place, but once the drinking games commenced, it was on. Then there was the drive home at midnight, getting home at 4am then the concert in Grandbury and finally home and sleep. This weekend was KPsi and TBS Alumni weekend and we have our concert at the bandstand tomorrow. I can't wait until its all over: the semester, school, concerts. I'm gonna miss everything, well, at least the people and the concerts, not so much school, but I'm still glad its almost over. And to commemorate my years at Tarleton, there will be a going away party, which also happens to be a drag party. The party will commence Wed. May 3rd, 2006 at 10pm. Guys are encouraged to participate and dress like women, and girls can either dress like men or they can dress like a drag queen (which means flashy and slutty). I hope everyone can make it. Oh, BYOB. There will be bullfrog, but not enough for everyone. Well, thats all for me. Wish me luck on job hunting. Deuces.
P.S.: My girl and I are doing really well. I'm really happy with her right now. | | |
| Well, I guess my trend for posting is once a month, but oh well. I'm not going to try and catch up because I don't want to spend that much time on here. I dropped Spanish which means I have three semesters of one class each to finish up my degree, but it won't be here. I'm going to be sending in resumes and airchecks to radio stations and what not here soon. LB and I are doing really well. I like her a lot and I don't plan on ending this relationship anytime soon. I just hope she feels the same. I'm not sure what we're going to do about the longer distance thing, but we'll see. I don't want to talk about it until we come to it. I canoed the Brazos and camped with my dad and brothers this last weekend. It was very awesome. I love getting to spend time with those guys, especially when its just us. My dad has been worried about us growing apart as we grow older so he wants us to do something together every year. I think its a great idea. He asked us to do this when my brother was confirmed. He took us out back and started telling us about his concerns and the fact that we're all growing up so fast around him. It was the first and only time I've seen my dad cry. Needless to say, we had a blast this past weekend, even when Matt and I tipped the canoe over cuz we were going backwards through some rapids, haha. I'm leaving S-ville soon, and I thought it was going to be easy. I've been talking about getting out of this town for a very long time, but when I thought about it, there are so many people I'm going to miss...a lot. I'm having my going away/drag party on the last day of classes, Wed. May 3rd, so I wanna see everyone there. I'll probably cry a couple of times, because I'm a cryer, haha. Well, thats it for me. Deuces. | | |
| Well, I'm sick...AGAIN!!! I hate getting sick. I just woke up yesterday with an earache, then some coughing, then I woke up this morning with both my ear's hurting and worse coughing. Well, now I'm just sitting around, and that will be nice. It sucks though, because I was supposed to take LB out tonight. Well, I guess we have plenty of time to go out. I just bought a few movies, so its veg time. I really hope I pass Spanish this semester, so I can take it over the summer and graduate in August. If I don't pass it, I might just try to get a job and forget about the degree. I don't know, that would be stupid, but I hate this place and I hate school. All I wanna do is work in radio and rock out with my band. Thats my dream and I plan on accomplishing it. Thats all for me. Deuces. | | |
