UK 101...My First Day

First class in college just got over and it wasn’t too bad. I just don’t remember much about my high school chemistry class. Apparently I got the easiest teacher on staff so that should help out. Tolly-Ho could quite possibly beat out any other restaurant in the category of greasiest food and greatest menu. They have all the great American foods known to man…and Ale-8. You can’t beat it. The whole campus is wireless so I took my laptop to keep me busy until lunch and am now writing a post in the middle of a courtyard. Oh yeah and I just saw John Wiley, Kelli Barnhart, and Chandler Snyder. The campus is huge and it took me about 20 min. to walk to my class in sandals. Commonwealth is the worst parking spot in the world because it’s next to nothing. My weight training class will be easy to get to from there but all of my other classes are on the complete opposite side of campus. Oh well, I need the exercise and I need to find out where everything is.

Casting Crowns...Metaphorical Meanings

Has anyone ever heard the song 'Here I Go' by Casting Crowns? The message is so true to all of us at times. Throughout a routine day how many people would you say you see that you will never see again? How many people do you see that you have seen everyday? How many people have you shared the gospel with and of which of the two groups are they?

So many times we forget the reason we're alive, to spread the good news and give glory and praise to God. How do you know you will ever see those people again? Maybe you're the only Christian they know. We talk to strangers about the weather and other things that don't even matter, like the price of gas, it changes so much that there's no point in talking about it. But God never changes and neither does his message.

FAITH is starting up and I want to encourage all to take the class. This will be my first time attending the class and I'm excited to see how it changes my perspective and my conversations with strangers and other lost friends.

The Mall on Sunday...Sales, Food, and Albino People

Going to the mall on Sunday should be against the law. People go to eat, look at things they can't afford, and make fun of people for their nationality (which I'm going to start marking as other because of the confusion of my skin tone and natural hair color).

Today I went to Chao Cajun, greatest place in the mall. They have two combos where you can either pick two things for $6 or three things for $8. This guy says he wants the pick two; picks two meats, an egg roll, and rice (count 'em). He gets to the cashier and the guy charges him for the pick three. The man says "I got the pick two!?"... (He got 4 things) he was furious, "That's not what I asked for!" so the cashier took the plate to the trash and said "Do you want egg roll?" "YES!" the hungry man says, so the guy dumps the Bourbon chicken off the plate and walks back, holds the plate up and the guy says "It's empty!?" (He now has 2 things and rice). The cashier then holds the plate in the air and counts for this ignorant business man "One...Two...and Rice, do you want drink?" Then the guy just walked off.

Today I went to American eagle, gayest place in the mall (behind Abercrombie and Hollister). They have clothes that you can't buy but can try on because they are too expensive. They also have random rich families that can afford the whole store but have no common sense at all. This little boy is staring at me when I walk by him, then we turn round to leave and now his sister is to. As we pass them she says to him "Maybe he's just half albino."..............Are you serious?!?! A) I'm NOT albino- My skin is actually slightly darker than Jennifer’s arm.
B) Albino's have red eyes- Has no one seen the Princess Bride??
C) There is no such thing as half albino- How can something be in between pale with white hair and red eyes, and white with hair and eyes??

I hate the mall!

Arlen Griffis...Custodial Specialist Extraordinaire

This guy I work with thinks he’s a professional janitor…which is true because his profession is, well, a janitor. Anyways this guy thinks he’s the real deal. The only thing he does is take out trash and tells you what he thinks you should be doing and how to do it. He inspects everything, and usually never misses anything. As we were setting up for Todd and Jenn’s wedding, we walked past the front foyer and he noticed one of the lights outside was broken. Suddenly his attention was caught and set on one thing, getting someone else to fix it. (The next quote deserves to be on Taylor’s wall of quotes) he looked out side and yelled in his redneck accent “Oh my goodness, an act of vandalism!?!? Oh man, I’m gonna have to tell Dale about this! Oh man!” (Dale is in Atlanta at this time) He props the door open with a table (I’m standing right inside the door as he does this) and proceeds to run to the scene of the crime. Turns out some one (a tree limb) had run into it and it fell out of its fixture. Good times.
