The other journal
Copy and Paste baby, Copy and Paste.
Wow it has been a long time since I updated this thing. I am debating at the moment whether to use this or the live journal. Maybe there is a way to link them. I like the font and look of this one but I think I like the functionality of the livejournal. For a more recent look at my life in the past few weeks go to jpb4444.livejournal.com. I believe that will get you caught up if you are interested. It was refreshing to read what I had written not so long ago. A lot of things have changed in the past year. Some for better, some for worse, some for neither better or worse. I have decided to drop religion, mentioned in one of the "more recent" entries here and add political science for those who don't know. The plan is to go to Law School and see where to go from there. The campaign is going well, I think we have a possibility of winning. For everyone, please get out and vote in elections. So many people complain about the way things are but few do anything. Our government is set up so that we have a revolution every 2, 4, or 6 years. Take advantage of it. I won't beat a dead horse but just keep that in mind. Chillin with Mark was cool. Haven't seen him since before the surgery so it was cool to hang out. On the female front, nothing to report. To be honest, I am not really looking. I feel pretty good lately. I have some really close friends and I am happy. Granted, that idea is always on my mind and I have my ideas but nothing I pursue at the moment. Timing is bad for a lot of things. Space can screw with you as well. I am excited about this coming semester. It is a huge opportunity in so many ways. Between Marching Band, Phi Mu Alpha, and classes, I think it will be pretty daggum awesome. I like my positions in those areas as well. Enough responsibility to tax me but nothing too much. I will be extremely busy though. I hope sleep is a possibility. I think it will be. I am really looking forward to getting back with all of my friends at Samford. I feel somewhat alienated in Memphis. I have a couple of people that I keep close but not near the number I have there. I have come to the conclusion once again that Christ is what really matters. I know I am wrong about a lot of things. I believe certain things because of various reasons, the application of my mind, faith, or respected authority, but I do not think that I can dogmatically hold everything like that. New evidence forces new views. I am a Christian but there are many many things that I do not agree with conservative Christianity. I use the term conservative because it is a delineating factor. The name Christianity still makes them my brothers and sisters in Christ. I will not condemn or be condescending to someone based on their beliefs as long as they hold them with confidence or for some reason. Confidence is not necessarily the word because I am not confident in everything I believe but I think it is right. I am not a universalist but I think that too often people miss the point. too often we get stuck on dogma and miss what Christ is. He is an example. We are to believe that he saves us, teach that to others, and act like he did. That is the message. I do not need thousands of yeas of tradition to say that. Well, enough of this rant. I am sleepy and I have work bright and er early(10AM). So my job isn't demanding time wise, at least not on paper. My mind is shot a lot of times. Some things will do that to you. Later.
until I get bored with it, I will copy my entries and paste them in one way or the other. I am fond of the xanga layout so I will probably use it primarily. I know, I am a loser, but I can admit that.
