poo on ihop

after we got done wrestling this weekend, we went out to go get some food since most of us hadn't eaten the whole day. someone had the bright idea to go to an ihop. stupid idea. when we got there, the chinese female manager failed to tell us that there was only one cook working. so all 27 of us got to sit and wait for an hour and a half before they started bringing food out. and after 2 hours, we still didn't have all our food yet. so coach decided that we should leave and go somewhere else. except we had been there so long that no where else was open. so we ended up banging on the drive through window of a wendys, begging for food. and we'll probly get to do the whole thing over agian this weekend since we are taking a very long bus ride to USF for another meet. yay.

they fit now...

back home, i had a pair of jeans that were really kewl and they looked pretty kewl. they were kinda like the blue-sih green stonewash color. i liked em a lot...except they used to be kinda tight on my buxom bottom. i asked my mom to brign em down for parents weekend when they came. and she did. and they fit really well now. i can actually sag em if i want to. so the ol waistline is decreasing. they also brought me a bunch of food and a totally aweosme box from my gf that was also full of food. the hard part will be to not devour it all this week cause we ahve a wrestling match and i gotta make weight. bummer...but i'm sure the food will help me stay alive here a bit better.

ho-dee dee

ok, for those of you who knew me well enough to remember me, think back to those times where i was bouncing off the walls and stuff. that's the way i am right now. i was sitting in class and i realized i only have to wait 2 days til my parents get here. i haven't seen them since i came down here. so i'm a little bit excited. cause....after today, i only have 5 classes till i'm done for the week and then i can leave and go hang out wiht my parents. and i'll actually get to leave campus for more tahn an hour. and i'll get to wear civilian clothes, not our *aqovih* uniforms. (don't aske me what that word means...i honestly don't know - my fingers made it up). so yeah i'm happy. and then after that i have...4 more weeks of school and then i come home for a week and turkey day, as my bio prof likes to call it. and then after that...3 1/2 weeks til christmas..witha birthday somewhere in there...i think....and i think i get somewhere around 3 weeks for christmas. i guess my bio prof was right...i really didn't realize how close to being done with this semester i really am. hooah. and i got a letter from jared today. hooah x 2.

the weather

today is the first day we've had not so nice weather. for breakfast formation, it was rather chilly with a stiff cold breeze blowing on us. and ti was sprinkling..not enough to cancle the formation, but enough to make us all shiver and our ears hurt. but from what i'm hearing from those of you back home, its been like that for the last month. hahaha. i laugh at ye. and i shall just chilax in my room and stay warm in my mmi campus jacket.

it is believed that chuck norris's tears can cure cancer.

....too bad chuck norris doesn't cry.

wow he's hurt

not sure if i mentioned this in an earlier post, but a couple of weeks ago, a guy got hurt in wrestling practise. i went to the er with him. they told him that he had dislocated his shoulder, but it was fine cause it had gone back in....they was wrong. he went to a couple other doctors a week later cause it was still hurting like crazy. come to find out, he tore all the tendons and ligaments in his shoulder. yeah. that's pretty ouchy wowy. so he's missed a week and a half of school. and he's gotten no sleep. he told me tha he just walks around his living room or outside at night cause he can't get comfortable enough to sleep. man...he got screwed over pretty good. makes me feel bad for the poor guy.

My Tears

the tears we shed in silence are the ones that hurt the most
cause people fail to see how much we hurt and all that is lost
we are all alone fighting against the world
and seeing hte lives of friends unfurled
as we watch what they do, we see the crap ahead
that could be missed if they change their stead
but they don't hear crys for them to stear clear
and when they crumble, we shed our silent tear
even though they chose their road, we still hurt inside
cause the choice they made caused a part of them to die
and each step they take toward the crud they see
is another step to all of us saying "rest in peace"
we know they are wrong and they say they do too
but they keep moving forward to their own impending doom
but what hurts the most that they keep walking on
saying they know what's right but they want what's wrong
and we know we'd choose for them if only we were able
but its a road they must walk and learn to be stable
its their life and they must make their own choices
and choose who and what to live for by their lives and their voices
but the tears will still roll down my weathered cheek
when they choose the wrong and fall becuase they are weak
because before God i still care about these souls
and i want to see them live a life that's full
and no matter the pain i feel inside i will still cry
until God can make things right.....

and He will....

in His time.

a few words of comfort in some hard times

Today i was sitting in my room writing down some verses in a journal that a special somebody gave me. as i wrote i was listening to some music by the newsboys. then the song "when the tears fall" came on. it almost made me cry. it spoke to me right away. its amazing how something as simple as a song can be so encourging when you are down. so i thought i'd share the lyrics with ya'll. hope they mean as much to you as they do to me.


I've had questions
Without answers?
I’ve known sorrow
I have known pain
But there’s one thing
That I’ll cling to
You are faithful
Jesus you’re true
When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart
In the lone hour
Of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me
And sustain me
My defender for ever more
When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart
And I will praise you
I will praise you
When the tears fall
Still I will sing to you
And I will praise you
Jesus praise you
Through the suffering
Still I will sing
When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart
Oh You’re so good to me
You’ve always been good to me
So trustworthy
When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart
And I will praise you
I will praise you
When the tears fall
Still I will sing to you
And I will praise you
Jesus praise you
Through the suffering
Still I will sing
How faithful and true
You sustain me through and through
You are hope and truth
You’re my spring of living water
You’re my spring of living water
In the lone hour You are there
Lord in my sorrow You are there
You are my healer

dip is bad....

and so i eat copious (that means excessive amounts) of sunflower seeds. 75% of the guys in my barracks dip. not me. i eat sunflower seeds all the time. they are really yummy. they replace the salt that i sweat out. they are a good source of protien. and they are also a great munchy. so if you need a snakc, get some sunflower seeds. and don't dip.
