Hey Everybody!!! lol, I did want to say something about Thanksgiving. I really miss the thanksgiving push that used to surround the holiday. Now even the Christian station is playing Christmas music starting on Thanskgiving. Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas and all that it stands for, but I think that it may be emphasized a little to much now, or at least to early. Christmas tends to focus on giving and being of good cheer. This is wonderful and definitely needs to be touted and lived by all, yet if one leaves thanksgiving out of the equation, generally human nature will forget about the giving and focus on the getting. Which leads to the loss of good cheer as people want more and more, and think of others less and less. Also Thanksgiving really did a lot more of focusing on God while Christmas focused more on how we interact or should interact with others. Obviously extremes are seen across the board on all of these issues, but I think that in forgetting about Thanksgiving, and the meaning and reason behind it, and focusing more on the "opening of the holiday season" and "turkey day" we are leaving a major portion of our societies need out in the cold. Selfishness doesn't need much to start, and I fear that the loss of thanksgiving to balance Christmas could lead to a rampant outbreak of that terrible disease of green. So, while this is a little late, don't forget to give thanks where thanks is due, especially to the one who deserves it most of all, God.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Ok, well alot has happened since that last post. The next week I was gone the ENTIRE week working near Atlanta. I got some respite over the thanksgiving holiday (which was good, I'll post on that in a minute) but am going to Augusta for the next four days. So I am not really sure about this job now. I enjoy it, but it is way to time consuming. And when you try to add in class and homework it just doesn't cut it. Let alone computer gaming time, and movie time, and ... well you know. lol, anayway so that is what is mostly going on right now. I did get to go bowling with my youth group Wed. night. That was alot of fun. I did horrible though, I never broke a hundred. I think the best I got was like an 86, and that might be stretching it. I blame it on a hurt ankle. It was bothering me. Really. Yeah.. anyway... that was a highlight. I also got to go to the BDLI (Brian Doesn't Like It) Concert. Though that preceded the bowling. That was another major highlight. YA'LL ROCK. lol, it was great, and we're getting a *sniff* MAGNIFICANT sound board. *does a little dance* lol. So life looks good for that. Now if I just had some time to go and play with it, and them....... Yeah. Anyway life is living right now, I'll get back to you'll later!

Work!
lol, well I am starting to get used to my job. Actually it is pretty cool. But it is also TIME CONSUMING!!! I actually went on an over night trip yesterday (through this morning) So I missed class and am going to get my homeowork in late. (YAY!!!) [That's sarcasim, I think...] Anyway that went ok, they did give me my own room which was nice. But I don't know if it can cover the 4hrs it took to get there and then back. lol. Anyway, that was my only complaint. Mac you need to hurry up with the transporter, or teleporter or something. lol. Well I need to be going, I have a lot to do (don't we all...). I'll see you all later. - ;D
