Island trip!

2006-07-13T19:56:29Z

Man, been jumping up and down all day looking forward to heading out tomorrow. Trying now to see what i can trim off my pack weight. I'll be sure post pics when i return.

early mornin

2006-07-02T13:44:07Z

Got up this morning and did a ride before going to church here pretty quick. Definatly was awesome, minus the couple of crashes that didn't feel so good. During the ride it Got me thinking , I really don't pray enough which kinda filters in to how much I let God into my live and him controling it, not me. If any of all ya'll see me on a regular basis, ask me how I've been prayin to keep me on me toes.

Went riding with the shop ride today in Calumet. I need to get faster just so I don't get covered in dust and dirt (pretty scary looking after I got done). It was also fun to go in to the Michigan house resturant totaly fithy.

looks like we're going to pasty fest tomorrow. Yes a day to celebrate the fine poor man's dish known as a pasty. I even saw a life size walking pasty today. Should be interesting and then off to more biking.

gutless

2006-06-30T02:06:06Z

So I went out mountain biking today and realized that I'm really quite gutless on the trail nowadays. I won't hit stuff I used to. Don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I wanta do my log rides and jump courses again dang it! But I do wanta get out of this summer without any serious injuries to me or my bike.

So I've now come up with a couple goals to expand my bravery.
A)To actually hit a deer while riding the trails on my mountain bike. Not hard enough to actually hurt it or me, but a little daised is ok. Plus if I kill it you cannot nessesarily put around a 100 pounds of road kill on your back and bike it home.

B)to get a speeding ticket on a road bike. At least in a 35 zone perferably in a 45 zone while passing cars. Quincy hill might remedy that one.

thoughts of the night.
goodnight all!

Startin da LJ up agian

2006-06-29T02:19:39Z

Thought I'd actally start LJing again. Its been over a semester since I have updated, but thoguht it would be good for me to write more of my stuff down and see what other folks think of me life.

Life has been good, pretty easy goin summer though. I don't know if I like that so much. Have been thinking a lot of ASP because there I was working 24/7 with a day off every other week. So needless to say, I've been doing a heck of a lot more moutain biking and other recreational stuff as well as seeing Sarah more.

Speaking of, we had a really awesome weekend togather, along with my fam at the cabin in Naubinway. I think relations between both those parties are getting better too. We got to do a lot of talking and relaxing togather, and I got to fish, what more can you ask for.

So my main thought of the day is that I think wanta definatly plan for my Isle Royale trip for July 13 through the 17. I wanta get some personal R&R in and time to myself to think a bit. Not so much that I object to others comming with me, but I'm not sure too many people would be able to or wanta spend that time off. Got me thinking today to. Was at blue house and felt a little out cause a bunch of guys from there where planing a big backpacking trip too and it seems like they have deep friendship roots in blue house. I knew all of em but I guess I put feet half into water with Grace and IV leaving space for half friendships. I don't intend it to happen, but I guess I let it. I kinda feel a bit bad for that and for being pretty grumpy lately I guess.

Anyways, just some thoughts of the night and update on how life is goin I guess.

lonely day....kinda

2005-12-02T07:09:19Z

yeah, for the most part i was in a very good mood for my b-day. My cell phone battery almost died today with folks wishin me a happy birthday. Today at lunch i went to daily prayer meeting with the IV bunch. It was swell, i got treated to lunch in wads and got sang to but after that it was just back to class and schoolwork. then to be flooded with birthday wishes on facebook, which were awesome. when i got home i laid down for a nap and woke up 4 hours latter at 11:11 by Sarah. So pretty uneventful wish i would have stayed awake and done something. maybe atleast treat myself to dinner somewhere, but no one was around anyways and me just by myself at a restaurant is no fun.

2005-10-31T01:04:28Z

so i got an email from my advisor about me requesting to overload my schedule to 19 credits. and i quote "Wow, you're a glutton for punishment! " so yeah i'm kinda scared. in other news, i went and saw sarah in marquette. we went to munising and to Pictured rocks around there hiking. It was a lot of fun, time with her and hiking. further inspired me to see if i can find a job on isle royale this summer. On the filp side of the weekend, my brother was in a accident with my old car. he's ok, but he fell asleep at the wheel after an all nighter and hit some mailboxes inbeded in the ground with metal posts that messed up the front of the car good. but like i said, he's alright so that's all that matters. here's some pics

rally

2005-10-23T05:09:26Z

woke up today at 10 till 11. had to meet at the yellow house by 11, and i got there on time! Met up there and went to go see the pro rally up at delaware mine. It was cool, i think the rain and cold added to the race but not everyone agreed with me. Heres the pixs
afterwards we went and had lunch in calumet and found this big candy shop. I wanted to save money though so i didn't buy anything. but afterward we went into cross country sports , and i bought degresser for my bike. figures.

3, 2, 1 i'm going in!

2005-10-21T03:16:05Z

so i was figuring out my schedule for next semester. tenitivly, i'm set up to have 18 credits, be an undergrad lab TA for botany, and hopefully hold on to my current job.

Don't know how this is gonna work. Parents are happy cause they think i'm finaly taking a respectable credit load. Their comments often go to "back in the day, i took 22 credits, with a kid, and your mom had a full time job" What they don't realize is that the classes 20 years ago were based on quarters rather than semesters like now. So the credit system was a different scale. I don't think 20 is even allowed now.

I'm kinda scared, I had a real rough transition from my summer job to school and dealing with a lot of inadequate feelings, which took a toll on me. Then again, it did get better and smooth out once I got a hold of things. I'm most afraid of complaining. I've complained so much bout this last semester with 17 credits. I got promted by my parents to suck it up so i graduate on time, and from others that i'm only a sophomore and i don't know what real homework really is.

I don't know, I haven't actualy signed up for classes yet. But in better news, i'm hopefully gonna see the rally race up in copper harbor this weekend which will be awesome! Marquette tomorrow night for the tech vs northern hockey game, but sarah is gone down state. I miss her a ton lately.

looong day

2005-10-19T03:29:15Z

today was crazy. got up, wrote a bit of my philosophy paper, went to my soils lecture. when that was over, i went to do a 2 page paper that i just remembered for my revisions class. two and a quarter page paper in 45 mins, i'm geting a little too good at that lately. studied like mad and ate lunch before stats at 1, philosophy at 2 and revisions imediatly after that. After my classes of the day were done, i went to check email and study before soils exam at 6:30. Which lasted for 3 blasted hours!!! i felt like i was taking the freaking ACT again. I thought i did well but i finaly landed back at the apartment at 9:30.

hopefully tomorrow wont be that long and i have a meeting about a my trip to New Orleans over thanksgiving. I'm excited, please pray for that, we'll be doing a bunch of clean up work or whatever else we can do to help. We still need to find a mode of transpirtation down there. God will provide.

In other news, my parents have expressed concern about me dating sarah. it sucks, i won't brake up with her, but it definatly hurts and hurts her a lot. prayers

ewww...

2005-10-13T03:08:20Z

i was having a great week till my throat went to crap. i think i have strep throat. gotta get it checked out tomorrow.

But the week was going so well...:-(

arg... parents

2005-10-11T15:10:01Z

i love me dad, but it seems since i've gone off to school this year he's been a very insensitive jerk. Keeps tellin me i need to push harder to keep taking big class loads to graduate on time while i've been really depressed with it. And all the stress i have, not getting hw done, driving the truck too much, and high phone bills are Sarah's fault.

I know my faith calls to respect and revere parents, but when he tells me to leave my girlfriend in the hospital to go do my homework due the next monday, thats way over the line.
my fam wants to do a family vacation over christmas break. i don't know if i can handle him that for that long. prayers please

and if all could pray for me friend meg, i'd appreciate it.

holy wa! an update!

2005-10-09T02:04:56Z

ok, so i haven't updated since june. wow

i could go into how the summer went. but i don't have that sort of time. And i know that not to many people see this lj anyway. o well.

today was glorious. slept in till ll:30 went grouse hunting for a couple hours with a near scare when my truck wouldn't turn on, but it turned out ok. then got back and went up to copper harbor with howie with the mountain bikes. got there, checked with the local shop and asked about what trail to hit and he said he was going out riding with another guy in 15 mins. So we got spared gettin lost in the woods with the bikes and had a guided tour.The trails where blast, besides the water we went through several times that was about 4-6in deep. Got my feet wet in my riding shoes and got cold quick but it was all good. went through some sweet new single track through old growth timber (the only place in michigan where there is old growth that alows mountain biking). howie and i both were dead when we got back, but no injuries.

Sam was the guy that took us out. he works at keweenaw adventure company in copper harbor in the summer with biking, kayaking, backpacking, building bike trais, etc. then will go to Colorado in the winter for skiing.

man, maybe i don't need school anyways.

Prayer request

2005-05-14T12:41:32Z

hey all, I'm working for a organization called Appalachian Service Project which is a Christian, non-profit, home repair ministry for low income homes in Appalachia. I'll be a staffer along with three others managing a volunteer center with 50-70 new volunteers each week for the summer.

If you could, I'm asking for prayer that I would serve God wholeheartedly and humbly. I wanta do my job well not for me, but to God for whom I want to do it for.

Anyways, have a great day to everybody

update goodness

2005-04-23T03:12:58Z

ok, back and updating after a long streak of LJ lazyness. Either lazyness or lacking of anything good to say.

but anyways, things have been going good. Getting ready to wrap up only two exams this week! Cause I already wraped up botany with a 95% on my final lab practical so my prof said I already had an A in the class and don't need to take the written final. SCORE! Botany was a fun class, last lab all the sections went to our teacher's [Janice] house across the street from campus. She has a flipin rain forest in her house! Her sun room twice the size of my room up here had a rock wall complete with waterfall, bamboo and all other tropical plants you can think of, pond with fish, birds flying around, lizards, and other assorted things. It was the coolest thing ever. I want one. Can anyone donate any poison dart frogs, lepords, snakes, or people eating carnivorous plants for my cause? Well maybe not the lepord cause its a cat.

Other than that looking forward to the end of school and then headin to the cabin for a couple days. Then Cedar Campus for IVCF leadership retreat and Sarah is gonna be there! I miss her like whoa. So if anyone reads this please tell Sarah Holt irishdancerchik that I miss her like whoa and can't wait to see her. Anyways off to mischief, and maybe watch Phantom of the Opera. Hear it's worth seein. Good night all!

wow, man sorry i haven't updated in like ever.

well, last monday i finaly made a decision on the summer job situation. I feel in my heart that ASP is where God wants me and I gave em a call monday and took the job. I'm way excited, and my dad even called up this weekend and said after a lot of thinking, he wants me to take the job. which meant a lot. I also found a guy to carpool with to get down to training so I don't have to buy a car either. The situation has been hard on Sarah, I am already gone for the school year and now the summer. So I'm just gonna trust God that he'll direct everything in His plan.

I've also been on a super big Mae hitch lately. everyone should check out www.theeverglow.com and listen to some of their stuff. It's the site for their new cd I want really bad (3 days till release!)

anyways. Happy Easter weekend to all!!

1Hear, O Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy
2Guard my life, for I am devoted to you.
You are my God; Save your servant
who trusts in you.
3Have mercy on me, Oh Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4Bring joy to your servant,
for to you, Oh Lord,
I lift up my soul.........

11 Teach me your way, Oh Lord,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
12I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever
13For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths of the grave......
