Hey hey er'body! Yeah, i know, long time no holla...but hey...I'm keeping all of you in a state of anticipation!!! Haha...actually I'm just really busy, and hardly have any time to update this thing. But it's all good...

Lots has been going on...school, work, church....all's been great! Writing on each of those would take a while, so perhaps i'll write a bit on my birthday, and a few other things.

My birthday was earlier this month, and I must say, it was great. I got a great dose of love from so many people. My Bullard kids are so nice! Thanks for the Fried Rice/"Fortune Cookies" (Lewcy-Lew), the homemade cookies (nathaniel), the sago plant (jordan), the kool aid (Jacob), and for the surprise party (nathaniel and friends). My students surprised me with a KFC/kool-aid party before tuesday night rehearsal (the day after my birthday). I was told there was a "staff meeting", but alas, I was attacked with silly string, clad with a wig of dredlocks, and fed heavily with sterioded chicken, biscuits, beans, mashed potatoes/gravy, coleslaw, and red kool aid. That was tight...haha! Them Bullard kids....man...i guess I really am making an impression on them. Praise God for placing me there...i'm learning so much, and i absolutely love the kids....and my boss is awesome!

Jeff took me to lunch at Oyama on my b-day, which was really awesome. I'm really glad we got to hang out, because really, though he's me roommate, we don't get to hang out much. Anytime I get with him, I absolutely cherrish. It won't be long until he moves ...but at any rate, it was great!

Had dinner with Dan, Mike, and Jason Fritts at Outback that night, and it was awesome! Again, I just thought it was cooh to hang out with these guys!! I seriously have the best roommates yo. And to have Jason there was awesome, since i hardly see him. He's an awesome dood...

So how did this awesome day end...well...just chillin' w/my roomies. Mike gave me this framed photo of my Fever salute from championships...it's HUGE! What a nice gift! Jeff came home and gave me an ultra slim bible (for easy transportation). He wrote in it, and I'll admit...I got a little teary-eyed...I was absolutely humbled by it!

It was a great day...i was so overwhelmed by the text messages, emails, phone calls, facebook/myspace/xanga hollas. Thanks so much to all of you!! My birthday was great...thanks for all of those, the gifts, but most importantly, the gift of your friendships!


In other news, Bullard had their first competition on the 9th. They did ahight...it was the first performance. The show is pretty much done, and the kids have been workin' pretty hard for the most part. Hopefully they'll keep on keepin' on! They still made me proud!. And SPEAKING of the competition, it was in MODESTO!!! I SAW SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE THERE. It was great to see them...either they were teaching, or in the competing bands. It was great to see all of you! Lookin' forward to the banquet...

I've some other things goin' on, but perhaps i'll share that a little later. I should get goin! I hope all is well with you! Take care, peace easy, and God bless ya!!

I came home from a horribly long day with these realizations/reminders:

1.  I have the best roommates...ever...
2.  I'm getting old...(i turn 22 next week...)
3.  God is so good to me...

I hope all of you are doing well!  Reflect on the positive parts of your life right now...know that all the negative, tribulation-like stuff is only a test of your growth in character!!  Anyway...peace outtie y'all..g'night....

Yo yo yiggity yo!!

So, as promised, I am indeed writing an entry. Kinda scary huh? Xanga is becoming somewhat obselete...people seem to be using other networking type deals now...but xanga is one of the OG's of online procrastination (as in...it prevents us from doing REAL productive things...haha!). ANYWAYS...here be is that update i shoulda coulda woulda be talkin' 'bout...

School's been pretty good. I've a busy semester, but it's not as bad. I think the hardest part is all the pressure of the playing ensembles, in all honesty. I've a lot of responsibility in each of those ensembles yo...more so than ever before! So...i'm really wanting to grow in my sax playing...cuz uh...i don't wanna make these groups sound bad!! I have my senior recital next semester...Jeff and I are actually doin' a joint senior recital, which for me, is the best part! I'm glad that he suggested it! So i'll keep you posted on that to let you know when the date is...right now it's tentatively scheduled for April 1, 2006. I'll holla back ...so yeah...all be is good at school...

The Bullard band is doin' perdy good. VERY talented kids...loads of fun. Being able to utilize a lot of what i've learned from this summer has been very cool. These kids though...LOADS of potential! They just have to make the decision to be good...and once that happens, all should be swell! What's crazy is this: this is my FOURTH year teaching here man...the seniors i have now were freshmen when i started! I'm getting OLD! But i love my job...plus...i get matt carroll as my boss!!! And the whole staff is GREAT...lovin' it therre yo!! Just a couple things about the Bullard organization: we've had a couple of parents who've been hit with some health issues. One parent was been in the hospital w/cancer - they found a tumor the size of a soccer ball in her stomach! We've also had a parent who's had massive chest pains and was admitted to the hospital. So...if y'all could lift those things up in prayer, that'd be awesome! Our parent support is always awesome at this school...

Church...man...has been great! Fellowship at the Rock has been great...I won't be able to be there as much now that Friday Night football games for Bullard are gonna be goin on. But yeah, more and more new people have been coming! It's been awesome meeting all of them and getting to know these here folks. Small group has been just an awesome blessing...i love my group! Totally in love with Jesus, and i always leave the small group meeting encouraged. And oh yeah! I got baptized last sunday! That was truly amazing! So all is going well in that part of my life!

Lately, I've just been feeling the tug of Christ longing for me. So often i get caught up in the busyness of life...i'm SO busy, but i forget to acknowledge Him in everything that i do. God's really pressed upon my heart a couple things: 1) i need to be in the word so much more...& 2) I need to start fulfilling what God has in store for me...being a man of God, and bearing the fruits of the Holy Spirit. So...if you guys could pray for that, that'd be off the hook!! Thanks yo!

Anyways...i've gotta get goin'...i hope that er'body's doin' well! To my Fever folks, I MISS YOU ALL!!! Take care er'body!! God Bless ya!
