U.S.S. Alabama

I recently made a trip to the U.S.S. Alabama historical park in Mobile, Alabama. It was pretty cool. I thought I'd share a few pictures from the trip...some are pretty goofy I have to admit. Hey I had fun, and that's what counts.

I'm still here!

I know you guys don't hear a lot from me lately, but I'm still alive. I just thought you might want to know that. I'm really tied up with school because the classes are especially hard this year. I just bought Anberlin's Blueprints for the Black Market. I encourage you guys to check it out. Anberlin is a very talented band, with very good music. By the way, I just got a Pillar shirt! Woohoo. I'll try to get some pics up on here soon.

God bless
Peace out

Not Much to Say

I'm starting to find this thing called a blog to be pointless. I rarely get on here and update it anymore because I'm spending less and less time on the internet. More and more of my time is going towards working on homework. I'm taking an AP English class this year...and I'm finding it to be challenging. With God's help though, I'll know I'll survive. So, I guess I'll post sometime in the near future.

Summer is drawing to a close...

My last day at Western Auto was Saturday. I received my last paycheck which was somewhere around $200. While I'm glad to be able to sleep in again in the mornings, I'm unhappy that I won't be drawing a paycheck again until next summer. I guess I'll just have to make that money stretch...

Speaking of making money stretch, I'm not doing a very good job of it! Saturday night I went and bought ALL of the Star Wars movies. I bought the trilogy set of episodes IV-VI, and then bought episodes I-III individually (there isn't a trilogy set for the newer ones). That was about $105. lol

School starts next Monday on the 14th, so I'm not too happy about that. This week I really have to try to live up my last week of summer. I'll be writing for the newspaper high school column this year, so I have to turn in my first column on Wednesday. Today I will try to type that up.

Until the next post, enjoy summer, and God bless!

Oh...that's why.

"Why is the rum always gone? Oh...that's why."


That was a quote from the world's greatest pirate. Go watch Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest while it's still in theatres! Believe me, you won't be disappointed.

Argh

No I'm not a pirate, I just couldn't think of a title! Anyway, just though I'd share a random pic with you...
