Update

Well it has been a while since I have last updated. There are reasons for that. I have been a busy boy. There just isn’t enough time in the day. I have taken up working out almost everyday and no I might not need it but I enjoy it and it makes me feel good about myself. I’m doing different kinds of work out so I don’t get burnt out. I’m training for a race in the middle of February. Dan wants me to run in a race next week but I don’t think I’m going to do it. I don’t think I will be ready for it but I’m still thinking about it.
I’m still at the LSC and singing in the choir, which I enjoy both them because those are some of the ways I praise God for being so good to me in my life up to this point. I’m feeling a little old still going to the LSC, which I will have to really think of what is going to happen next year. Choir is going well I don’t know how good I can sing but they haven’t kicked me out yet. I have double duty this weekend where I’m singing with both of them at church in both services also. It will be fun and exciting cause I love sing.
Work is going great. I’m doing projects where I’m the main guy they count on to make things good to present to the Big Wigs. I still have a lot of work to do to be good at what I do but I’m on my way and I feel very proud of the things I have done here so far. Now they are starting to work on my new office. That will be nice! I hang up pictures and make it my own.
I have been spending as much time as I can with friends and I feel bad about not spending my time but I’m trying. The time I do spend with them I’m cherish and some of the times I have gotten to bring Jen along to join in the fun.
Speaking of Jen and I, we are doing well. It will be five months here shortly and sometime we wonder how we made it this far but she shows it every time look in her eyes. Now everyone say, awwwwwww.
Lately I have been thinking of what I what to do for the rest of my life. Why am I thinking of this now. Well a lot of my friends are starting to graduate and move off leaving me one less friend. I know I make friend pretty easily but I feel left behind when they move on and I mess them. Sometimes that is how life is; people come in your life to change it in some way and then they move on. It is sad but it is true but friends are friends forever and time and distance don’t make a difference.

Five (5) lessons to make you think about the way we treat people.

1 - First Important Lesson - Cleaning Lady. During my second month of college, our professor Gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student And had breezed through the questions until I read The last one: "What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?" Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the Cleaning woman several times. She was tall, Dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name? I handed in my paper, leaving the last question Blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if The last question would count toward our quiz grade. "Absolutely," said the professor. "In your careers, You will meet many people. All are significant. They Deserve your attention and care, even if all you do Is smile and say "hello." I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her Name was Dorothy. 2. - Second Important Lesson - Pickup in the Rain One night, at 11:30 P.M., an older African American Woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway Trying to endure a lashing rainstorm. Her car had Broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her, generally Unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man Took her to safety, helped her get assistance and Put her into a taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his Address and thanked him. Seven days went by and a Knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a Giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A Special note was attached.. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway The other night. The rain drenched not only my Clothes, but also my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying Husband's' bedside just before he passed away. God Bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving Others." Sincerely, Mrs. Nat King Cole.

3 - Third Important Lesson - Always remember those Who serve.In the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10-year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and Sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in Front of him. "How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked. "Fifty cents," replied the waitress.The little boy pulled is hand out of his pocket and Studied the coins in it. "Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. By now more people were waiting for a table and the Waitress was growing impatient. "Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream," he said. The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on The table and walked away. The boy finished the ice Cream, paid the cashier and left. When the waitress Came back, she began to cry as she wiped down the Table. There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, Were two nickels and five pennies.. You see, he couldn't have the sundae, because he had To have enough left to leave her a tip.

4 - Fourth Important Lesson. - The obstacle in Our Path.In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a Roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if Anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by And simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did Anything about getting the stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of Vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the Peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the Stone to the side of the road. After much pushing And straining, he finally succeeded. After the Peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had Been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note From the King indicating that the gold was for the Person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The Peasant learned what many of us never understand! Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve Our condition.

5 - Fifth Important Lesson - Giving When it Counts...Many years ago, when I worked as a volunteer at a hospital, I got to know a little girl named Liz who was suffering from a rare & serious disease. Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion from her 5-year old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the little boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for only a moment before taking a deep breath and saying, "Yes I'll do it if it will save her." As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color returning to her cheek. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, "Will I start to die right away". Being young, the little boy had misunderstood the doctor; he thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood in order to save her.

FRIDAY THE 13TH

Well today is Friday the 13th and usually it is a good day for me and I’m not saying I’m having a bad day but it just feels like any other day. I usually have a great day on Friday the 13th but not this time around but the day isn’t over yet. Maybe I can make some trouble for some unlikely soul.
Things are going pretty good. Work is getting back to normal after last weeks open house, which, is good, but I wish I could do more to help my boss and I do ask if I can help and learn from what he is telling me. He has even giving me more responsibility and some stuff but I wish I could do more.
I’m starting to see and feel results from my new workouts but I believe I’m on the verge of burning out wish is good cause next week I start running again. Sweet deal huh? I have a race this time next month so it is time to get ready for it.
Jen and I are doing well!
I went to go see Casanova last nite. Well, actually I kind of got dragged to it but I’m glad I was cause I enjoyed the movie. I give it 4.5 stars out of 5. It was kind of confusing and a little fast in some spots but in the end everything pulled together. I recommend it.
I have found out that I have some of the great friends in the world and you know who you are. Thanks for putting up with me!!
Till next time I better jet…

Matt DamonYour hard work has paid off! You're known as a talented, dedicated, nice guy, who wisely learned from his best pal's failure to keep his lip zipped about affairs of the heart. Also, unlike that unnamed pal, you don't seem to have let success go to your head.


I think this is pretty true of me. I respect Matt Damon so I’m ok with the outcome. What does your say about you? Leave me the results if you want. I would like to see what it says about my friends.

CRAZY TIMES!!

Sorry it has been a while but life as been kind of crazy.

The Holidays were great. I got to hangout with family, friends and relax a little. Over news I got to go up to the twins graduation party where I had a blast. Then after that I went to go see Jen and meet her parents. They want to ask me more questions that they didn’t ask fearing if they would ask the first time I wouldn’t come back. Ha is all I got to say that. Nothing to hide here I tell yea. It was great seeing her. She even gave me my birthday present early and for those who know when I birthday is, it isn’t for another month. I liked it.

Work is going great with us showing off our new building next week with I’m part of the party that gets everything ready and it is getting crazy.
Outside life I’m working out a lot that is changing the way my body works. Don’t jump to any conclusions but I have to change my diet.
It is seems that I’m never home anymore or if I am I get home late and it isn’t bad but when I get home I don’t want to cook anything which I really need to get out of or I could be in trouble.

Jen and I are dong great and I can’t wait till she comes back this weekend sometime.
Well till next time I gotta jet work is picking up.
