Well today is my birthday. I'm now a year past the legal drinking age, yes!!!!!!!! actually I really don't care. It's a little strange now. I mean it has always been that I have looked forward to gaining another year as if I had something to gain or attain. I'm sure you know what I mean: at 13 you become a teen, 16 you can drive, 18 you "become a man/woman," 20 you're no longer a hated teen, and finally 21, though it makes no difference to me, one is allowed by law to drink. Now I have nothing to look forward to in age, well except for wisdom and the like. I know, I can now place my longing on turning 35, then, for as I'm sure you all know, I can run for president.

Why am I here? One might think that to be an obsurd question because the obvious answer would be....You are there because you chose to be. Why on earth would I choose to seperate myself from ALL of my friends whom I dearly love? I assure you it was not a matter of money, no I had already spent two years at FC, so whats another two years out of state? Abandoning friends is the last thing on my mind so it most definately is not that. The question still begs, why am I at K-State while many, if not most, of my dearest friends are at Western? The cause that caused me to go here is a mystery as is, seemingly, the effect. What is missing here is a reason. I see no valid reason. There is no sound church here, so again why did I go here? I have no idea but I am sure He does.

Hey ya'll. I did better this go-round with the DAT, but I still came up short, two percentage points. I'm going to study hard again and probably retake it again in January or February. What do ya think, third times a charm?

I take my Dental Admissions Test tomorrow. I've been studying all summer for it so one would think that I'd be pretty confident, but actually I'm pretty scared. I've taken a three practise tests and have only passed one of them. What scares me more than that is not knowing what I'm going to do if I can't get into dental school, via not passing the test or just not getting excepted. Then the thought of never being able to pass the test enters my mind and that really scares me. What am I going to do? I suppose I'll know a little bit more about how to answer that following the conclusion of my test.

Okay, so this is my first time using pleonast consequently this is also my first weblog, Yeehaa!!
Anywho, I helped my grandpa burn a brush pile today. We went out and threw a bunch of brush in a big brick silo out at my farm. We had a lot of green brush so we needed a little more help getting the fire started. Grandpa and I decided to toss some oil and gas all over the brush pile. After about five or six matches that we threw at the pile we only had a little flame going. We had a little coffee can with us so I filled it about half-way with gas and tossed it in. A split second later I was recalling all the action movies that I have ever seen and how whenever there was a big explosion they always seemed to be blown to the ground. Well, as the gas exploded, grandpa and I almost experienced such fall. The air exploded out of the silo and just about knocked us both down. It was awesome.
