It's winter?? Since when?

So I was just chilling in the eagle's nest last night when a friend of mine looked at my shoes and then looked at me like i was crazy. At the time I wasn't sure what was going on but today I realized that she was making fun of the fact that I was wearing flip flops in the middle of winter. It was 50 degrees out last night! who cares if I was wearing flip flops? At least I wasn't running around in shorts and a t-shirt (which I do quite often when it's snowing).

long season

SO basketball has to be the longest season EVER! We have 2 games left in our regular season, which are this Thursday vs. Wayne State, and then Saturday @ Findlay. That will be technically the end of our " regular" season. But we have qualified for the GLIAC tournamets and will practice all next week and then play on the 26th. I wanna do good in tournaments and go far, but its just been a hell of a year, and is starting to drag out a little bit. So hopefully well just do good and WIN! That way it wont seem so lonnng and tiring, bc my body is about to DIE! But thas okay bc i love ball, and thas why Im here at AU. and of course to get a GOOD EDUCATION! :)

I hope everyone had a good weekend, and I will see you all in class tomorrow, Im sure well do somethin exciting as always lol

CCR

Yo Gwyn you left out the best song ever created about the natural phenomena of rain. Creedence Clearwater Revival band more commonly known as CCR has a great song called "Have you ever seen rain". Download it everyone its awesome.

coloring

As little kiddish as this may sound my favorite stress reliever is coloring. Maybe it is because I am a future elementary teacher and it is in my nature to love those kind of activities... who knows. When I color I can completely shut out the rest of the world and focus on bringing a picture to life. So my advice is if you are completely stressed out and need a breather then color! I think reverting back to childhood when things were much more simple can be good for us all every once and awhile.

Snow

It is snowing again and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I really want to go sledding, snowboarding, or something similar but I kinda doubt it snows that much. This weekend went alright, I went home for the first time in about a month and a half so that was cool. The sky looked cool yesterday so I took a picture.

How many songs are there about rain?

I have been in studio all weekend. I was supposed to go home with my roommate and have a fun weekend with her.. instead i spent all 3 days in a computer lab, or in the gross dirty sculpture room. My hands went numb on Saturday because i was power sanding, grinding and polishing my sculpture for a good 5 hours. That is WAAAAAY to long. Tonight i finished my metal sculpture as well as 3 computer art pieces and a mixed media piece only to discover that tomorrow i have 2 tests, Tuesday i have a test and a paper due and i have done NOTHING yet. err..

I was just about to collapse from frustration and disgust at myself for waiting until last minute to finish my projects AND completely disregarding any other class when i basically gave up and left a&h... for the fist time in days.. (or since lunch) I was just so.. not mad but empty when it started to rain. It was cool out... almost warm even and the rain felt wonderful. No one was around. It was just me and the rain. It washed away all of my frustration and rejuvenated me. It was refreshing, in an emotional kind of way. Anyway, i just thought today was a good day even with all of the crap i had to do just because of the rain.


About Kevin's quote. I think its a wonderful idea. And i think that many people strive to live life this way. Certainly many religious groups fit under the purpose driven life. there is a book with the same name... go read it- i hear its good. But as wonderful as it may be, i think that it is just a ideal rather than a truth. For every person living life purposefully there are so many others just wasting away.... but then again does that disprove the idea behind the quote or rather prove it further by providing an example of what happens when a life isnt lived purposefully.... hmmm... ive confused myself. well. ohkay. time to study for test number 1 out of 3379. wishing luck is accepted at this time.

Mary J. Blige- Rainy Days
Hilary Duff- Come Clean
The Weather Girls- Its raining Men
Tim McGraw- She's my kind of Rain (?Says my roommate- ive never heard of it)
Sting- After the rain has fallen
Prince- Purple rain

thats my list for now...

Quote Installment #2

OK, so here goes my second post about a quote just to see how you guys like or think about it. Thank you Emily for reading over and responding to my last post, loved the input.

"The Purpose of life is a life of purpose." -Robert Bryne

Leading and going through life without a drving force or purpose to it makes no sense to me. Goals, dreams, aspirations, and whatever else you desire should bring everything you do to some kind of step towards that goal. Any thoughts?
