Well, Spring Break 2006 had to be the most interesting experience of my life... and its not even over yet. Chad, Stephanie, Kyle, Blair, Dave, Heather, Monica and I left for California last Friday and planned to drive for 26 hours to Chad's house in Cali. However, the horrible weather in Arizona (SUCKS) slowed us down and then Kyle hit a patch of ice in Chad's Expedition and rolled the vehicle into the median of the freeway. It was quite an ordeal but everyone was unharmed for the mostpart. God really had his hand over us as we traveled.
Chad's vehicle was totalled and so he and Steph flew home to Cali so that the rest of us could fit in the remaining vehicle, Dave's suburban. The 6 of us that were left turned around and ended up staying at AJ's grandparent's cabin in Ruidoso, NM and it was amazing. Dave, Heather and I went skiing on Monday and Tuesday and then all of us hung out together Wednesday and then finished the drive home today. We are glad to be back in A-town and glad things worked out so well. Like I said, God had His hand in all of our trip.
So... that leaves me three days to disc golf, edit video, and watch FREAKIN MARCH MADNESS!!! Wahoo..... except that my bracket is HORRIBLE. I am in last place in the three different tournament pools I entered. CRAZY! Oh well, my luck was just slightly better at the casino but thats a different story. Anyways, figured it was time for an update to this old thing if anybody does in fact still read it. Adios!

If I told you that I didn't ever want to associate with you ever again and that you should make no attempts whatsoever to contact me about healing the broken friendship between us and then 3 days later I am at your house hanging out with your best friends and roommates... what would you think? He wants to have his cake and eat it too... well that ain't how its gonna work.

Did you ever have anyone give up on you? Was it a confidence booster? My high school basketball coach gave up on us every game whether we were winning or losing. I hated it. Other coaches supported their players but mine cut us down to the ground by tossing in the towel long before the game was over.
You tossed in the towel long before the game is over my friend... and thats what you are.. my friend. I never stopped but today it just hurt too much to even look at you and to see how you had obviously given up on me just because I am blind to what is going on. So go ahead and just give up... and I'll just stay depressed... and when you don't call I won't be surprised... I know that you meant your goodbye!

"We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." 
 Winston Churchill

So I never write in the Xanga enough to make it really worth while but I thought tonight might be an exception to that rule. I checked the blonde's blog tonight and I kinda wondered when I would get a Valentines like she had or like she gave... I miss that. I checked a former friend's blog and it was so depressing and ridiculous that I wanted to figuratively kill myself. I didn't want a Valentines like that... but thats what I had anyway. What happened to snow on Valentines when relations between boys and girls didn't matter but rather relations between friends did? I pray that it snows very soon because I think its one of the only things that can help repair a friendship gone by the wayside.
When she removes you as a friend from Facebook and deletes every post she wrote on your wall, then you know she means business. I'm not even sure where it happened or how it started but I guess we were both just ready to have a fight. It didn't seem like a fight of any more substance than we usually have. It just seemed like one of our regular old married couple fights but this time it ended in her conveying that friends was something we shouldn't be again... well, at least for the foreseeable future. Like the idiot I can be, I just said FINE! I'm very non-confrontational in nature and therefore it seemed like the easiest way to just handle the situation for now. But then as I thought about it and KNEW that was the wrong answer she went on to tell me that I had indeed had the right answer. DON'T WRITE DON'T CALL, DON'T COME NEAR ME OR TRY TO FIX A THING. That made me think, well, thats code for please come save me... but she seemed to feel pretty strongly about the whole situation and I could never read her in troubled times like I could in the good so I don't know what I'm going to do. "Always call???" "Always write???" "Always leave a message???" I don't think those rules apply anymore.
I don't even have enough time to know how to deal with that right now which frustrates me even more. Sing Song SUCKED tonight from my perspective as nothing seemed to go smoothly and we are practically begging people to come help us. Everyone that has experience has either graduated or is in the freakin show. And this year's 50th Anniversary Sing Song isn't even that good a show. Last year's was much better to be perfectly honest. But before I can even think about producing this show for the rest of the weekend I have a few other more important things to do. I have a paper due at 11 in the morning and I have a television show that is supposed to air at 4:00 tomorrow that isn't even edited yet and then I have to think about the rest of the work for the city of Abilene... AHHHHHH! This week cannot pass by quickly enough for me!
And YES, this Xanga has been pretty selfish but it is my Xanga and I thought it would make the most sense if I wrote about me and whats going on... but that should come as no surprise to the three people that read this that I would be putting myself above it all. Oh well, I just don't know how to get my emotions out otherwise. But thats all the emotions I can get out for now... its nearly 2:30 and I have a 5 page paper to write.

So I realize that it has been some time now that I have gone without the wonderful world of blogs. To my 2 faithful readers, thanks for being patient and here is whats going on.

I started work this semester with the City of Abilene as the Communications Information Coordinator Intern or CIC Intern for short. I have my own parking spot and office at City Hall. Yesterday I went with a Public Works official all over Abilene and I filmed various project work and public service announcements material that I will soon be editing into three PSAs to be broadcast over the three major news stations in the greater Abilene area. Tomorrow I am headed to the Recycling Center to get the last of my video footage and then the editing process will begin.
Besides my office on the 2nd floor, I have the video room to myself the majority of the time and get great equipment with which to work. It is weird to think though how much my life has progressed in the past few months. From September to now it is almost unreal how much my life has changed. I got a job as a lab instructor in the JMC department which turned into the Freshman Follies Video Producer job which in turn became the assistant professor job with the JMC 260 class. Now I'm an intern with the City of Abilene and soon to be graduate of ACU. I am also turning 22 in a week and so the combination of these things is causing me to feel somewhat old. In my mind, there is nothing fun about the 22nd birthday. 20 means you are no longer a teenager, 21 means you are old enough to drink, 22 means you are just old. Who knew growing up could be so much fun?!?!?!
Well, now that you have that little update on me I think I am going to finally get some sleep before my last class of the week and then head to my job and then finally SUPERBOWL SUNDAY WEEKEND which will include live studio music recordings and interviews with Levi Smith followed by an ACU baseball game and then the Levi Smith concert that night... and Sunday, well, I think everyone knows its the freakin SuperBowl but most don't know that it is almost called Man Day and females get to pamper their guy friends and boyfriends and buy them things and cook food for them as a gesture of their love on Man Day like guys have to do for girls on Valentines.... ::smiles::

On that note, adios and enjoy Man Day!
