it's Over...

Hi all,

This will be my last entry, seeing as how my days of Xanga and high school are over now.  Nobody used this thing much anyway.  If you wanna see or talk to me anymore, you can get me on facebook or myspace.  Thanks, friends!

Hi all,

I'm back again.  It's hard to believe that life in the summer after graduation could be so stressful.  I mean work, college, being with Andrea (the only good part about this whole list), being forced to spend time with my parents, taking care of my sick car, running around like a chicken with my head cut off, and all the while trying to maintain my sanity.  My friends... I really miss you.  I hope that sometime soon we can all get together and have lunch... dinner... something.  Of course the old crew should hang out again:  All the A's  Andrew, April, Andrea, and Andy.  I miss our days.  Work has become more like a chore I do for nothing rather than what I do to make money.  Granted, I would have no money without the job, but still, the place is really, well, crappy.  Little pay, boring job, and very drama-driven and gossippy people.  Hope all is well on everyone else's end of the rainbow.

Anyway, I got my Tusculum schedule, and it looks like I'll have a hard, but fun, time.  I have most of my hard blocks with Andrea, so I'm not too worried.

The more time I spend with Andrea, the closer I get to her.  I love her.  And I don't mean that like most hormone-driven teenagers.  Love is not an emotion that can be described.  It's not an emotion at all.  It's a God-given connection that can only be found through being yourself and not trying too hard.  I learned that the hard way, myself.  I've tried to put on a show for too many other people.  Andrea is the only woman I've ever met that I don't have to sheild and protect from the real me.  What she sees is what she gets.  I've not much to offer, but the look in her beautiful eyes tells me that she feels the same exact way toward me.  There's never even any need for words.

Headed into those hot summer months.  Everyone stay safe, and God bless you all.

Have a good'n

Life After Graduation

Hi all,

     So... We finally graduated. Everything we worked for in the past thirteen years has come down to this one piece of paper they call a "diploma".  The general public's way of saying "hey... this guy's got a 'diploma' he must be more qualified than somebody without one."

     OK.  So it's been a long time since my last update.  That would be an understatement.  Still much hasn't changed, but Andrea and I will be leaving for Pennsylvania in a couple weeks.

     Andrea.  You are my best friend, too.  I would do anything for you, and you know that.  I constantly wish I was where you are.  Love ya.

Hi all,

So...  good stuff happening.  Here's the rundown (I think I like this format):

     Biltmore was awesome.  Andrea and I had such a great time.  Great food, huge house, most visited winery in the U.S., and, oddly enough, I had a great time with the smells and the artwork there.  Hmmm... me & artwork just doesn't sound right.

     Prom.  Andrea says she got a gorgeous dress.  Have I seen it?  No.  So in other words, I get to watch the only two women in my life (Andrea & Mom) duke it out as to which monkey suit looks best on me.  Great fun.  No, I'm not being sarcastic.  lol

    I got sunburned this morning.  'Nuff said.

     Tusculum.  Going there?  Yes.  Computer Science?  Heck yes.  Am I a nerd?  Hmmm...  I don't think so, but it depends on whether or not I get along with the majority of people in the department.  If so, then yes, I am.

     I'd like to say hey to the bunches of people that I haven't seen in a while:  Chauncey & Acey in Kentucky, I sure miss you folks;  Judy, Johnny, Nick, Whitney, and Ali in Indiana; Keisha and Krista in Pennsylvania (and all my other cousins, we have way too many)

Hi all,

It has been almost an entire month since my last update, so I think I'll do a rundown of all important things in my life:

    I absolutely adore Andrea.  She's without a doubt the best thing that has ever happened to me.

    I started working at Big Break Exxon in Gray.  I work weekend nights if you decide to come & see me.

    Graduation's in less than two months.  Can I get a woot?  I think so.

    God continues to touch my life in more ways than I could have ever imagined.  'Nuff said.

    Nothing for anyone but me to be excited about, but I think Mrs. Powers is going to order us new sound equipment.  More toys for me to play with.  LOL.

    College decision coming down to the wire.  Stress?  Yup.  Indecisiveness?  Sho' thing.  Worried?  No, not so much any more.  I'll go where I'm meant to go.

    Prom.  Limo for 4.  Tux?  No, Andrea doesn't have a dress yet.  S'alright though.  We're good.

    That's about it.
