Back in Action!!

OK
It's been a while.........2 weeks?
Two weeks really isn't that long when you think about it though
I guess in the blogging world it is

There has been an unanticipated lull in my writing as soon as summer hit and like I just said about 15 words ago, it was quite unanticipated...shocking really
So I think there is no other reason for this blog than to update on things and maybe ramble about whatever is in my mind. I'm good at that
Where to begin....
So summer has come and it has been welcomed with open arms
So far a week and about a half into the 14 weeks off, it's been good...has the makings for a top notch summer
I am getting almost no hours at Shop N Save and haven't really started any real work yet for the summer so mainly I've been running, playing the guitar, and reading books...actually reading outside to be more specific. It's pretty much better outside.........except when a burning of the skin occurs
I just finished Tony Dungy's book Uncommon. It was an awesome book and a very insightful look as to how an uncommon man lives.
That is my ultimate goal when it boils down to it. If I had to use one word about how I want to live, it would be uncommon.
I want to go against the norm of the average (almost) 22 year old. I want to be different and make different decisions, think a different way, live a different way...be rare in who I am
I want to treat people around me in an uncommon way, opposite of the what have you done for me lately? society.
I want to be a gentleman and show women the respect and honor they deserve. I'm not here to "conquer" and add notches to the belt
I am saving myself for my wife and looking forward to the day when I can present her with a whole me...that is uncommon
I want people to be able to open up to me in confidence and know there will be only love
I am always conscious of who is watching
I want my integrity to speak for me.
Through many experiences I've come to find....
It's tough being uncommon.
That's what I live for

Already this summer, I've been able to meet/hang out with some incredible people.
I am very blessed in the relationships I have. Many of my friends and people I love to be around go to my church (or live with me in the case of my brothers)
If anybody is looking for a church that just loves the Lord and loves people then Church on the Rock is the place.
Man, I love it!!!

Hmmm let's see....
Cars
So I had a truck I was going to buy....the guy sold it to somebody else....that hurt
I just recently found another car I was going to buy...a guy bought it literally as I was pulling up....another zinger
So I'm still in the market...I've have come to the conclusion that a. buying a car is a tedious process b. car salesmen are an interesting and unique group of people and c. cars are expensive

I started using my Twitter more. I think I'm going to take this time to apologize to Twitter. A little while ago I wrote this.
It was a pretty scathing review of Twitter but I've come to find that Twitter is indeed quite delightful. Sorry Twitter, my bad

side note- 3.8 for the semester...I actually went on the Lindenwood website, went to my grades, printed them out and stuck them on the fridge...they deserve that honor


OK, that is about it..it's nice to be back in the blogging game. Hopefully I will be more consistent because I'm sure everybody is hanging on my every move. (probably not)
Thanks for reading!!
