Wow, Do I Really Have Time to Update?

Woah, it's so crazy that I have not been on here for so long, when pNast has been my life for years! I remember when I first joined pNast back when it was still in version one, and watched it grow all the way up to 3. I kinda just stopped at 3. It is not that I do not love you guys by any means! Just between my homework in college, being the Yearbook Design Editor for Royal Palm, and being Psi Beta Gamma's President I just don't have much time to do anything. I feel so bad, and I am sorry.

On a happier note, I am absolutely LOVING Florida College. It is crazy that I am on my last semester here when I just came here a little over a year ago. I am planning on graduating this semester with my AA degree and then LOOK OUT TEXAS HERE I COME! (BTW anyone going to SFA next year?) But yes, life is good.

Everyone on campus is buzzing about how they are coming back next year, who their roomates are, who they are staying with, what they will wear, ect... It's driving me insane cause I really wish I could return... :-/ I wish I was returning so I could see how Beta does, I wish I was returning so I could help out with Yearbook once more, I wish I was returning so I could be with my friends that hopefully I will never lose contact with. It is going to be a sad day when I leave here.

My academics are doing ten times better than my previous semesters! Although I hit a glitch with Old Testament Poetry in Peeler's class. I was not aware until test day that it was a short answer test. Blegh. But grades are looking great I think. Maybe when I get to SFA I will not have all the distractions I do here. Women... j/k

Speaking of women, I am in the belief over 75% of my closest friends are either getting married this year or is engaged to be married soon. It is so surreal! People I lived with my first year of school, and people I am living with now! People I knew before they even knew each other existed! it is a strange idea to grasp. My best friend Jacob Mock is engaged to Stephanie Renz, I am supposed to be the best man in the wedding and I still cannot grasp it. GUESS I'M NEXT MOMMY!! ;) rofl

Yearbook is looking AMAZING! I'm so psyched, and cannot wait to see everyones faces as they first take hold of it when we reveal it! I am proud of all my designers who has put so much work into this project! :D

Psi Beta Gamma, may not win this year, but at least we went down fighting and having a blast while we did it! I am almost positive Administration has something against us, but I can't figure out what it is... Currently we are 4-0 in basketball! UNDEFEATED BABY! I'm so proud of them all, I just wish I could have done a better job as president...

Well I better git, I have church in the morning. Although I have never fallen asleep during church I better not make tomorrow a first. So I'll catch you cool cats later.

Yours Truely,
James Dow

    That's great about Jacob and Stephanie! But you take your sweet time on findin a girl James. You will find a great one I know that one for sure.

    Don't dwell too much on the fact that you aren't going back to FC. Think about the fun times you had that you'll always remember and keep that with you as you go to SFA next semester. You and your family (i will post this on your mom's blog too) are invited to graduation in May as I have undoubtedly told you 10 million times by now. You guys will get an official invitation in the mail sometime soon (and I'll mail your senior picture to them as well). :) Hope to see you in May. :)

Procrastination

It's what I do best!

It's time for a new entry, but I'll do it later.



Procrastination is something best put off until tomorrow. ~Gerald Vaughan

Have a good one!

  • aldebaran
    You don't see many procrastination support groups around. Why? Because procrastination won't break up your marriage. Because procrastination doesn't make you feel like Warren Beatty, the famous actor, and look like John Lennon, the unabomber. Because procrastination won't cause your liver to fail and then leave you there to die, laughing in your face the entire time. No. Procrastination is completely harmless. Can Canada say that about their healthcare plan? Can secretary of state Hillary Clinton say that about her husband? Can Putin get any more cool? I think not.

What is the opposite of two? A lonely me, a lonely you.

This post is over due...

School is going good. I was kinda upset with my last test grade... I got maybe 98% of my questions correct on the exam. When the work says show your work you show your work (I did that), well apparently when it doesn't tell you to show your work, you're supposed to do that anyway! He cut off 25 points for that... Egh! This test Tuesday I'm showing work on every problem!

Work is alright, it's money.

August 7th I'm going to the Kleinwood Singing in Houston. I can't wait! Can't wait to sing with thousands of other Christians. Can't wait to be in Houston. Can't wait to be with close friends! :)

The day after the singing me and a bunch of my friends will be going to San Antonio to spend a day at Six Flags. That should be a blast!


I leave for Florida in less than a month! I can't wait to be back in the Sunshine State surrounded by beaches, school, friends, beaches... I want to go to the beach... BADLY!



Singing school this week, I can't go... :(

No School Friday!

Hey Everyon!

So my trip to Houston last Friday was awesome! I got to hang out with everyone at Kelsey's casa before hitting up Olive Garden, and TRL! I haven't been to Olive Garden in forever... It was amazing! Expensive... Yet amazing. Haha
Then we all went to TRL which was a blast ended skrewt of a time! I loved it! Although I didn't climb as many as I was originally intending, I had such a good time just hanging out with friends I rarely get to see.
The next morning a group of us went to IHop... Can you say fail? That was so funny. We all were so tired we were falling asleep on the table in the midst of us saying out orders. We seriously looked like a sad bunch of young adults. Haha
But my trip was so much fun...

Well summer classes has begun, or should I say summer class. I'm started my statistics class Tuesday, and already I have a test this upcoming Monday. Ew! Good thing I like Stats... So I wouldn't say I enjoy my teacher or my fellow students, but the teach presents the material in an easy to understand manner which is nice, and my classmates aren't loud and obnoxious. So all in all I would say I like my class quite a bit. Not to mention I'm loving not having classes on Friday!

Work... I'm still working.


Love you all!
-James D.

    Can't wait to see you again in a little over a month!! Be ready!! :)

Slow

This week has gone by so slowly. In fact, work has never been slower! I have been sent home every day this week 2 hours earlier than I was supposed to. But! I have killed at least 10 flies all week. My war against the flies you would think is near to ending, but it's not. Every time I kill one, 5 minutes later 2 replace the one I just killed! It's a pain in the rear, it just bugs me!

Tonight at work there was a fight. Apparently a guy stole a hat from footaction, and footaction wasn't happy so he pushed the guy who stole his hat and the fight bloomed from there. There was blood, anger, cops... The works. They hit the cookie company many times... It was crummy because everyone gathered around and just started laughing... Some people need to learn what's funny and what's not, and some people need to learn when to be angry and when not to... It's a terrible world we live in.


Well a slow week at work is about to turn into a "so fast you didn't even see it pass by" weekend. Tomorrow Adam Gibson, his sister, and I are all leaving for Houston! Gyea baby! Not sure when we plan on arriving there, we plan to take our precious time though, enjoy each others company, and just make a fun little road trip out of it. In the afternoon I'm not sure what I'm going to do... I may hang out with Jake, or I may hang out with Kelsey. Which ever one I hang out with the other is going to be jealous, so it's a lose lose situation... :P lol! Than Friday around 7ish gunna get some grub with my best friends there in Houston. Than Texas Rock Lock baby!! Oh that's gunna be so much fun! Then I come home saturday... Sadness... :(

It's gunna be a fun weekend. Well I better catch you pleo peeps later! peace!

    ryc: Well, the idea is that eventually, you could use this CMS to make such church sites. :)
    But until then... there are LOTS of church-website services out there, where like some people custom-wrote a CMS for church sites, and then they only offer the use of it through their system for a nominal monthly fee, or something. I saw one recently that looked good (and conservative-owned, I think) but I have no idea what it was. I'll let you know if I remember.
