event: hmm, pretty much nothing. i havnt posted in a really long time, so i have a lot i could probably talk about, but my everyday life is pretty much the same thing everyday. its like my schedule is regimented or something, so that would be boring.i could tell a bunch of random stories or something, but i dont know. maybe i will just ramble and ramble or something. ok. so i met this guy jonathan in our company who is responsible for starting a plebe bible study last year, as a youngster, so this year he is doing the same thing, but since he is a second class he is meeting with a few of us youngsters so we can start discipleships and stuff with the plebes. i have been real glad to say the least that God has put him in my life, because i have been realizing a lot about my spirituality that i had been taking for granted for a really long time probably, like why i even believe in God at all, and looking at it from a standpoint of teaching to someone else really helps you understand everything, probably more than the understanding you are trying to convey to someone else. also it has been really nice to just talk to someone who i can really relate tol he also went to a small christian school, and most of his views about everything are in line with mine, except he is from texas. anyways, hopefully soon i will start, along with some of my fellow young-stars, a plebe discipleship, so some prayer in that arena would be cool. also the colossians Bible study has been real good. i should probably commit myself more to that and it would probably be even better than it is.
i was reading t-dubs away message, because that is the only thing to do in the middle of the day when you have 5 or 10 minutes before lunch, and it was something to the effect of disbelieving how awesome everything is around us, and i have been aware of that because it is starting to get cold and the leaves are changing and every morning i wake up and see a crazy sunrise over the chesapeake. right on tom, i dont know if you know what im talking about or meant it that way, but thats the way i took it and it was helpful to me. i guess i always take God's majesty for granted and im reminded every time the seasons change.
something not as positive is the grind. day in and day out studying and going to class and not much in between. im pretty worried im going to realize how much time i have wasted by trying to use all of my time effectively for school. im worried this year will be gone, and maybe ill have made the grade, but not much else. so to combat this i went to a concert in dc with kyle. a certain band called hot hot heat. they are pretty energetic, kinda at the drive in but not a ll really, kinda hard to describe, maybe atdi meets the strokes? and from canada? check em out if you wanna, they do have some questionable songs though, but for you downloading types 'bandages' and 'talk to me dance with me' are a couple good ones. it was at a really cool venue that used to be a ymca basketball gym or something, but its really cool on the inside. most of the bands i keep up with wind up going through here so i will probalby try to hit that up some. its kindof lame though because i am limited to weekend shows, but thats how it goes.
so anyways needless to say its getting cold, the leaves are changing, which means its about time i whip out the cold play, so im excited about that. also excited for---- being home for a week for thanksgiving. there is this scam where you talk to your hike school about the academy and stuff and you get to go home the friday before thanksgiving week, so im excitedabout that. hopefully that will go through.
the radio show has been goin g pretty rad, thats probably because kyle and i called it "really ultra rad radio show". we have a growing fanbase, and allegedly WRNV is going to get around to putting the station on the world wide web, so maybe the world can tune in soon.
all things considered i like being a youngster and this year is going pretty well, this semester is halfway over i think. i just found out my last exam is dec 17, which is kinda crummy, but not that far away. for some reason i get the feeling that i am still looking for something more, though. i dont know.
------sidenote: navy football? oh,,,yeah. we beat air force and our record is 4-2. its crazy. the best season we have had in almost 20 years, and the brigade couldnt be happier. i tell ya i wish you could be there for these games, its pretty cool to be part of 4000 people screaming in unisen (sp?). i wish the notre dame game was at home this year, cause its going to be awesome. it will still be on tv and i will still be watching. definitely. this is the year that navy breaks the longest losing streak in college football. speaking of football, how lame is miami? how do you feel about the fact that miami should have lost to two crappy teams and somehow beat fsu, casey? angry.
ramble damble
ramblin rhyme
my time is ample
so its ramblin time
etc.
i was going to throw some likes and dislikes in
but i think that i need a more complete list.
perhaps i will release that list when i also complete "what i believe" (not to be confused with a squad five-oh album)
bob dylan's knockin on heavens door is one of the better songs ever made.
sometimes i wonder if i am over critical about things, and also the effects that would have.
if you have new, fresh jams that you think should be on a college radio station, let me know what they are.
i guess that about wraps it up.
until next semester...
casey is my name and ending this journal is my game.
also, give yourself a pat on the back from me if you actually read all of this. but also dont tell anyone because that might exclude you from the most elite social circles.
