Best Blog in Tennessee
2007-06-21 02:06:00 So did ya see it? I got me an “award”! Yee-hah! Of course, I submitted myself and it’s more of a directory of Tennesse e blogs then a real award, but just between you and me and the other two or three folks reading this, we won’t tell anyone okay? Let’s just pretend it’s a real award ... More About: Humor , Blog
New Page (Note to Self)
2007-06-20 10:00:00 I added a new page that hopefully will add a little bit of humor to the day. “Note to self:” is a refrigerator post-it note type of thing. Instead of, “Don’t forget to pick up Johnny from soccer practice,” it’s, “Don’t spit into the wind when a good-looking girl is walking by.” They are ... More About: Humor , Page , Note to Self
New Page
2007-06-20 02:59:00 I added a new page that hopefully will add a little bit of humor to the day. “Notes to self:” are those things that you should remember and know regularly but you just forget because you suffer from stupid for a moment. It’s kinda like the “V8″ commercial type slap on the forehead ... More About: Humor , Page
Is Talk Radio Running America?
2007-06-19 14:42:00 Realizing this is not a political blog, I cast aside that label for this one post. I believe it is worth it. And perhaps I can get away with still being labeled a “politic-free blog” by simply saying this deals with a bipartisan issue. Recently, Congress, the Senate, and the President attempted to get the Immigration ... More About: Radio , Politics , America , Running , Talk Radio
Lighten the Mood Some
2007-06-19 02:14:00 This was just sent to me by my brother. I know we’ve had some pretty deep thinking, serious posts in here over the last few days, but this is how life should be (note: my brother is intimately familiar with diapers. He’s old enough now that he has to wear adult diapers!). Let’s ... More About: Video , Mood , Some
Faith
2007-06-18 12:44:00 Faith is present in all the moments of my life - not just the big ones. It quietly guides me through the day-to-day happenings that collectively make up the big events. Faith is what gets me up in the morning and walks me through the day. Faith tells me that we will ... More About: Religion , Christianity , God , Faith
Fathers Day
2007-06-17 14:49:00 Why read this Fathers Day post more than any other? Judge for yourself, but maybe because this Fathers Day post is not about me so much as it is about being a father, or perhaps it strikes some cord within you. Being a father is the greatest thing a man can ever attain. Notice I used ... More About: Christianity , Family , God , Faith
Death by Powerpoint
2007-06-16 15:17:00 You gotta see this video. I don’t know how old it is. Knowing me and how behind the times I am, this is probably about 6 months old and everyone on the internet (and 3rd world countries) has seen it already. This is how I feel about many Powerpoint presentations. Too many ... More About: Video , Humor , Microsoft , Death
Yesterday
2007-06-15 14:15:00 First the good news. My brother’s guest post from yesterday received more views than any other post thus far in this blog. His post did so well in fact, that it was listed in the Wordpress news as one of the top 50 posts for topics dealing with “Family”. You have to scroll down to find ...

A Veteran?s Story
2007-06-14 09:10:00 I’d like to introduce you to my brother. He’s a real decent guy. And he was when we were kids, except when he wasn’t trying to steal my Vienna Sausages! He’s agreed to guest blog today and so if you like his post, let him know. I’ll warn you: it is a long post, but ... More About: Family , Military , Heroes , Story , Patriotism

Grades
2007-06-13 18:11:00 I just got my grades. And it is as I predicted. I got an “A” in each class Speech 1010 - A English 1020 - A Math 1010 - A My GPA is still a 4.0, but I’m sure that’ll change after I complete Macroeconomics from this summer semester. I just took ... More About: Education , Grades
*sigh*
2007-06-13 03:58:00 It’s been a very rough last few weeks. The kids got out of school. I had no place quiet to study. I had twelve pages to write in a reading journal for English, two English papers to write (including the drafts), a math exam and math final to take, a speech to write and ...

Note to Self:
2007-06-12 13:26:00 1. Remember to download Digital Voice Recorder immediately upon getting home. (So you do not run out of space to record future lectures like you did yesterday during the middle of Economics) 2. Do not wear blue jeans when it is 85 degrees outside with a southwesterly wind at 5mph. 3. Take practice exams at the end of ... More About: Education , Note , Note to Self

English 1020 Final
2007-06-10 21:23:00 Got my Hamlet draft back from the professor late last night (Saturday). I’m currently redoing it now. I prefer him to write on it. His edits and criticisms are more thorough and exacting. What he said was great and I quote, “An outstanding start. You have many valuable insights, and you?re ...

Public Speaking 1010
2007-06-09 22:26:00 I just got an email from my Speech professor that I do not have to take the final exam on Monday. She said that I already have an “A” and will not be required to take it. I only needed a 77 on the final exam anyway to maintain my “A”. You ... More About: Education , Public , Speaking , Public Speaking , Peak
Military Uniforms on Civilians
2007-06-09 04:27:00 I’ve finally found a small break in my studies that is long enough for me to do some research into a comment that was raised by Austin on my “About” page. The question is, “Is it disrespectful to soldiers (fallen, inactive or standing) for civilians to wear fatigues for the sake of style?” Before I ... More About: Military , Army , Navy , Forms , Form
Momsense (& Dadsense for that matter)
2007-06-08 15:45:00 I know I’ve already posted once today, but my cousin sent this to me yesterday, and although it’s directed toward moms, I know I’ve said many of the same things, if not all of them. I hope you guys (& gals) enjoy it as much as I did. “I don’t care who you are, that right ... More About: Video , Family , Matter , Ense , Sens
English Papers
2007-06-08 14:10:00 Well, if you didn’t know, I’ve been complaining for the last two weeks about having to write two English papers. One was a rewrite of a research paper I did on Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown,” the other was an initial paper on “Hamlet.” The paper on “Hamlet” was for my final. I finally ...
