Thats right y'all, as of tomorrow, I no longer attend Southeastern College any more, but Southeastern University!! That is exciting, because I did not want to attend a college, but a university. Well I had an amazing, wonderful spectacular, almost perfect day today!!
 
end of the beginning!!
04.28.05 (7:52 pm)   [edit]
Tonight I went to Crossover, the first hip hop church in the world! (www.flavoralliance.com) It was cool, but different since I am used to more traditional style churches. The pastor is a well known DJ, and another DJ preached an amazing message I might add. For the praise and worship portion, four girls sang common CCM songs, but hip hop in style, it was different, but cool! Then they called for people to come up and "spit" that basically means to improv a rap. That was cool, because I got to see the passion that some of them had for God. The highlight of the evening, I must say was when the speaker, DJ Lopez, who was dressed in a jacket, button down shirt and tie started to sing "it's a beautiful day in the ghettohood" while taking his jacket and shoes off! I am sad though, because tomorrow is our last time at the boys and girls club, I might cry javascript:emoticon(':(') Well have a great night y'all!
(just ask about the title!!)

A farmer tells a New York bank
that he is going to Europe on
business for two weeks and needs
to borrow $5,000.The bank officer
says that the bank will need
security for such a loan, so the
man hands overthe keys of a new
Rolls Royce parked in front of the
bank.Everything checked out,the bank
agrees to accept the car as collateral
for the loan.An employee parks the
Rolls into bank's underground garage.

Two weeks later the Farmer returns,
repays the $5,000 and interest,which
comes to $15.41.The loan officer says
"we are very happy to have had your
business. While You were away,we
checked you out and found that you are
a multimillionire.What puzzles us is why
would you bother to borrow $5,000"?

The Farmer :"Where else in New York can I
park My car for two weeks for 15 bucks?"

"The One I'm Waiting For"
Reliant K

The way that girl can break a heart
It's like a work of art
And this is the worst part
She knows it

And she's so confident
That she's what everybody wants
But nobody wants
Her to know that

So fall back on all of your premonitions
And just learn to listen
To those that have more wisdom than you
And just stop
Putting so much stock
In all of this stuff
Live your life for those you love

And I'm still waiting for
You to be the one I'm waiting for

The way that girl can turn a head
Well she is such a threat
But don't ever forget
She knows it

And she's got it all
All figured out
And she won't let you doubt
She knows it

I'm still waiting for
You to be the one I'm waiting for

Something tells me that this is going to make sense
Something tells me it's going to take patience
Something tells me that this will all work out in the end

Ladies, lets be real with our brothers, no more deception, lets take off the masks we hide behind and show them the real us. In the long run, you will be greatful, because you will find a guy who loves you for who you are! 'Cause I know I want to be the one 'he' is waiting for!
There is a story behind this ask me sometime and we can chat!!
 
Trailers!
04.20.05 (3:56 am)   [edit]
Well yesterday, I got "certified" to drive the school van. A friend told me last night, that here when you turn 21 you don't get to drink, but you get the keys to the vans. I thought it was funny. So I go to load up the van with all the people, and realize that I will not only be driving a 15 passanger van, but a 15 passanger van with a trailer on it. It was fun though, but backing it up, well I did it!
 
Better than Life!
04.18.05 (12:05 pm)   [edit]
This is now one of my favorite songs:
Better Than Life
Words and Music by Marty Sampson

Better than the riches of this world
Better than the sound of my friend's voices
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart
And that's just the start

Better than getting what I say I need
Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love anyone could give
Your love is

You hold me now in your arms
And never let me go

You oh lord make the sun shine
And the moon light in the night sky
You give me breath and all your love
I give my heart to you because

I can't stop falling in love with you
I'll never stop falling in love with you
I can't stop falling in love with you
I'll never stop falling in love with you


I guess this is how I am striving to live and feel!

well yesterday I went to Sarasota, to go to the beach. It was cold, 65* and the waves were huge, I drank way too much salt water, and often got carried away. Also my ears started to burn, that was very wierd. I saw a sting ray, and found some very cool looking shells, and a dead sand dollar. It was quite sunny, and I got tan, but also burnt in some places. It was a great trip, and then we went to Hungry Howies and ate a buffet of pizza!
