How my week is looking...

I feel like i have neglected my little blogspot due to the fact that im overwhelmed with school work.... BUT that is over!!!!! Tonight i finially finished all of my spring classes. I worked my tail off and passed all my classes with B+'s, yeah thats what im talking about! Summer here i come. Looks like my summer is going to be full of work though.. There should be some trips that should be fun but, for the most part im going to be working to pay off some bills. Plus we are selling so much stuff around my house it's unreal.. My parents are selling, guns, dirt bike, camper.. pretty much anything.. Getting out of debt and living comfortably is the key. Thats what i keep telling myself.. On another note, Saturday and Sunday my friend zak and I went to Georgia for the NHRA drag races, and yes it made me wanna race again... so mark my word one day im gonna race again. But that trip was awesome, saw some records that we made, saw a lot of drivers.. amazing.. But anyways, Im going to T-town to see my friends this weekend and check out the house, so im wicked excited about that. Im still praying for everything to keep going good for this fall over there.. Tomorrow i only have to work about three hours.. what a waste right?? i took some of my personal time off so that i can get some much needed stuff done around the house.. So its looking like a good week, hopefully the weekend will be the same! Hair in a biscuit

2 baskets 2 rows...

wow a great weekend. I have not seen many of my highschool friends in a while but this weekend i did. I was invited to hang out with some of my great friends from wayyy back and it was incredible. I was on the same routine thing for a long time, doing the same thing everyweekend, BUT i changed it up a little and saw them. It sure was fun. Today was a great day, went to church and then my cusion in-law Josh had the brilliant idea of asking me to take up offering. Not such a great idea i thought, since i have not does this since i was a lil kid. Well once Quinn concluded his sermon and i walked up disaster struck. Hey, i have two baskets where do they go???? Needless to say, a huge mass of confusion set in and i had no idea where the other basket went.. Alas it was quite histerical, once Jason informed me that one basket went to the other side.. So to Community Presbyterian Church, I am sorry if the money was a little short this week do to the fact that the basket was not passed to the proper people.. haha it was funny i must say. On another note, i got a phone call from one of my tuscaloosa friends still wanting me to come one weekend and check his and ron's place out.. Im still pumped about that, although i do have some things i have to do first; 1- selling my four wheeler and 2-paying off some school.. So if fafsa comes along and gives me some grants... ill bet set! well..... im going to need a job also.. but for anyone who reads this... PLEASE keep me in your prayers once again, that it will be God's will that i can go to Shelton and live in tuscaloosa. Everyone needs a good feel for college!

oh today was a good day...

Today was a great day, just to sum that up! I went to work and got a lot completed.. i was siked about that.. but, then i went to lunch with my mom and basically told her that i was tired of Moody. Ever since high school i saw all my friends going off to school and starting their new lives and all... and that made me think.. could i do this? During high school that was totally out of the question, i did not even care about anything but graduating. But now i see that i want the big school experience.. When i go to class, i see 5 or 6 other people around me and it just feels like im not even in class.. Yet, i make good grades and actually try to obtain a good name for myself. BUT that just isnt enough with me.. i want far more.. U wouldnt call it selfishness, i would call it wanting what everyone has at my age.. Back to the lunch conversation; it was said how i feel and i wanted to try something new.. so i just brushed it off... Well turns out that my good buddy Ron Smith gave me a call shortly after and said there was a spot in his house located in tuscaloosa.. I was pumped when he told me about all this because i need a new start for the whole college thing. He said that he could get me a job with a mutual friend's dad and all. This all sounds like a dream come true, i want to live there and i would probally go to shelton state to start off, but wow, i dont have that kind of money.. i have many many bills that overwhelm me.. can i make it out on my own? Well i really hope to and i want that more than anything. problem is that i pay for my own school and its soo expensive.. Well i think that im going to talk to the parents tomorrow and see how i can make it if i can.. it is looking like i could if i can find a great job that can pay my bills and such.. But hey, im 22 and i have a dream and thats a fresh start into the whole college scene. Im going to keep praying that God will lead me into the right direction and make everything possible. This is something that i have wanted for a long time, to move off and go to a school and transfere to a university of my choice... oh yeah bama baby, thats how we roll. But if i can get that money issue solved i will be set!. So whomever reads this please pray that God puts me in the right direction and makes my dreams possible. I am totally aware that he is control and is the only way to make it possible. So prayers are needed and are greatly apprecatied. This is something that i want soo bad and the exciting feeling is the thought that it can be possible... thanks for the prayers! more info to come, till then..... hair in a biscuit!

2 blogs in one day.. wow im bored

one more thing, i talked to Martin Landry on facebook, and he was telling me about his youtube video.. It's quite funny. If anyone remembers him, he use to go to our church a long time ago and currently lives in New York doing broadway and such. heres the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YijE4DwZ4ZQ

Something on a good note..

Here recently all my blogs seem as though they are depressing... well time for a change. I hate logging on and actually reading some of my blogs and i think wow, i sound like a heart broken person. Indeed its a struggle but, hey things are getting better. life lessons, life lessons.. Well school is getting better, I have a monster of a research paper that im working on, wow never know college would be as time consuming as it is. I try to work on stuff here at home, but i get easily distracted, maybe its my ADD kicking in.. So i started going to the library in hoover at the shelby campus. Here goes JE into the library ready to study and such like a total nerd. It actually works.. The campus in Moody is a joke, we do not have a library nor a book store.. how sad.. Its a longer drive but worth it, because last week i had help from tons of people verses my 6 people in my music 101 class haha. Anyways, church was good yesterday, the music there keeps getting better and better, not like it was ever awful to begin with; but if you remember how it use to be, you would totally understand. Sometimes i wish i was musically inclined, i guess i did not get that Webb gene that Jason, and Bradley seemed to be born with. I guess ill just stick to my cars, and racing. Speaking of racing, I really wanna get back into the racing field. I miss it dearly. Everytime i take a fast car down the test track at work, i get this sensation that overwhelms me.. sounds kinda gay but, racing is in my blood. I seriously need to graduate and get a great job so i can get back into racing. BUT at my rate its going to take forever! Heres a thought for the brain; someone needs to buy some of the HID kits so i can obtain some much needed money so i can pay that silverado off. Almost there. Well i guess my rambling needs to come to a conclusion. So i will say this, "Hair in a biscuit".. It's always a joy to be with family, and i have so much fun when i go to aunt Shirley's house or just see everyone at church.. I do believe that loose about 10 pounds every week listening to Jason's storys.. I had to steal that hair in a biscuit thing from him.. i just about hit the floor when he said that. gotta love the fam.... well this time the rambling is comming to a screaching hault.. more to come as the week progresses..

Still an uneventful weekend

well this past weekend I had to face some serious hard truths. I have not really wanted to think about these truths but only time withheld the truth. wow ouch my little heart sure does hurt. Im a firm believer of "say what you mean, and mean what you say". However i did my job??? I have no clue what is going on but, all i know is that everything is falling apart. I figure that if you try so hard for so long, things will happen. Evidently i was wrong.... It seems like how hard I try, nothing seems to happen quite the way that i intended or planned rather. I think that this could possibly be a sign that MAYBE just MAYBE there is a far more bigger plan for my life that I totally do not see comming. I have been stoked for a while about my birthday and just the fact that im growing older and becoming the man that God wants me to be.... but then again why does everything happen the way that it does? Im a firm believer that the creator of the heavens and the earth has me exactly where he wants me.. Yet, again the fact of not knowing that is something that i have a hard time to grasp hold of. This sounds so redundant to me and i knew deep down that it was going to happen.. But i must go on and keep my head up high and be thankful for my wonderful friends and family that have made my life what it is... Mostly i thank God for the many life lessons learned throughout my life and how i can keep growing stronger and stronger..

Counting down the days...

This has to be the longest week of my life!!!! I have been waiting for tuesday to roll around, and it seems as though i have been time has been ticking so slowly. Well on tuesday i turn 22 and i cannot wait. 22 is not a big deal, i passed the big years.. that was great and wonderful but 22 makes me sound more like a man! Last year was a pretty good birthday, even though i turned 21 on Easter Sunday. So no last year was not spent drinking up a storm or anything, haha. But i really hope that this year will be more productive than the last. Basically, this year i want to be happy. lately, I have been struggling with many issues of happiness. Not a big deal but, seems as if something is just not quite right. To fulfill my happiness, i need to trust in the Lord; however it is hard to see where God is leading me in my life. Sometimes it is quite obvious where HE wants me to be but, at the same time im sitting here waiting in anticipation for something to happen. So, im going to keep on keepin' on and see where i end up! I have a feeling that 22 is going to be a good year, and i know that my God will lead me in the right direction. So tuesday come on and show your face.
