Which Napoleon Dynamite character are you?

A Bonfire

Last night, Chuck, Ryan, Jesse, Derek, and I decided it would be really cool to go out by the lake and have a bonfire. It was freaking awesome! I made a torch out of a big stick and an old t-shirt, and that was like the complete highlight of my night! I've always wanted to have a torch! Then to top it all off, today I saw Linden Kiser as he brought his fiancee (Aimee) back from Virginny and I got to hear my most favorite song - Freedom Now (its a Linden original). Now, I'm back in my room freezing my butt off trying to write a paper before tomorrow morning (my heater is broken again).
Oh yeah, it totally froze yesterday and there was ice all over everything! It was really cool, even if we did lose power for about half the day. And today I finished my journey to the Dark Tower! 7 tomes, about 5000 pages, 6 months, and much tears. I loved those books! I also saw Fight Club for the first time on friday night. It was pretty good, I must say I really enjoyed it, but it was kind of too much for me, I'm not all for the terrorist approach that Tyler takes. Well, tomorrow I'm off on my winter vacation to Kate's house then to my bro's house! I'm super excited, because I can spend some time writing my story and more time playing nintendo! Woohoo!! Well, I'd better finish this paper, so I can pack!
Godspeed!

I'm getting lazy with this blog thing

It's already been two weeks since I last wrote in this?! Man, what has happened to me? I think I've just fallen into the routine of class, hang out all day, then come back to my room for nintendo, then bed, and I completely forget that I could be doing this. Anywho, nothing much is going on around here. I went home last weekend and Mom took Katie and I to a Mardi Gras parade (a chilluns one so that no one would be offended), but I just didnt feel the whole Mardi Gras vibe, there's just too much throwing of stuff at people. Also, last week, we went out and saw The Incredibles one more time, I'm thinking it might be my favorite movie of 'o4, its definitely in my top 5 along with Spidey 2, Napoleon Dynamite, Shaun of the Dead, and HP3. If you haven't seen any of those, do yourself a favor and see them. Napoleon is quite possibly one of the easiest to quote movies in a long time (since Dumb and Dumber, I think).
I finally had time to start working on my story again a few days ago, but I'm really stuck because I haven't written in so long and I don't quite know where to go with it. In the past 3 days, I've only written 3 sentences, its pretty sad.
Next week, I have off, so Katie and I are going to her parents for a couple of days, then we are going to head up to Dan and G's for the rest of the week, and to cap it all off, on the way back home I get to go to a Showbread and Anberlin concert!! Sweetness! I'm really excited to get that week off, even if it does mean that the following week school really starts and I have to slug through my final semester.
I'm working on finding a job around here for when I graduate, but its hard to find something that I think I will fit into. I want to do some sort of children's ministry at a church, or I might follow up on my idea of interning for Quincy (if I can still do that), either way its getting to crunch time, and I don't like it very much. Well, I gotta go to BSU leadership. Godspeed!

Though the scenery slips through the spaces we meet,
Press forward and leave me behind."

Holy Crap, I haven't updated in forever

Yeah, so Chris got online tonight, and I realized that I haven't been on here in forever, muchos sorrios (thats spanish for much sorries), so I will sit here and watch my Futurama as I talk about my wonderful Jan term. The class is Classical American Film, and so far we have watched The Philadelphia Story, Casablanca, and Singin' in the Rain. Boy are these movies really really good. I never thought I would like them as much as I do, but I'm really intent on buying the latter two on DVD because they impressed me so much. Anyways, I am slowly being converted into being able to actually sit still during a black and white movie.
Aside from that, me and the guys have been having nightly Smash Bros. matches on the big screen downstairs, and they are all learning to fear the awesome power of Ganondorf!!! Also, I have been spending some time finally being able to watch the extra stuff on my Return of the King DVD, and boy is it great. The amount of work that went into these movies is incredible and it makes me want to go to New Zealand so bad (really I just want to go to Middle Earth, but since I can't do that, this will have to do). Also, I love playing with my mp3 player, I have been adding songs like crazy, but I try to save a bit of space to carry some files with me. Anywho, its getting to gaming time, so I've gotta go warm my thumbs up to kick some major butt.

Mission Accomplished, back to base Joe

Well, I'm back at school, and class has started up. I am taking Classical American Film for this Jan term. Its going to be an interesting class, but there is a lot of work involved (8 papers, 2 oral presentations, and a sequence analysis). Anywho, my last week of Christmas break was wonderful, I got to spend a lot of time with Katie! I got my mp3 player for Christmas, and I love it. I also got the Showbread cd (actually got 2 copies), and I can't tell you how great that cd is. Anywho, it is now 4 hours later and I just got finished watching The Philadelphia Story for class. It was a really good movie, I must say. For those of you missing out on Napoleon Dynamite, I have already watched it 4 times since Christmas, so if that is a good sign for you, go watch it now and if you need it, just give me a ring. Well, I'm on the phone with the hospital now trying to get this stupid insurance crap done, so I'll get back lata
Godspeed
