VMA's

So tonight was the VMA's...
I think there should be a new award....they should have the "most awsomely bad video"....almost everyone could be nominated, except for any rock video...cause most....well some rock videos would be in there....perhaps FUSE or MTV2 should host their own award show so there would actually be decent videos given awards....

I did like seeing Green Day and Fall Out Boy on there tonight....

thats it...
what new VMA category would you want to see? let me know...

the beginning of the end

I had my first day of classes today and well, i'm actually between classes right now. I only have 2 classes that I am actually in class for this semester. Lucky me. I am in Intro to Missions...a freshman level class, and Sen. Sem. w/ Dr. Kurka. I have officially began my last semester of classes as an undergrad. How exciting it shall be....more to come later...

friends

Today I was reminded that I have good friends.

I went out for breakfast w/ SuperDave.
Had FirstWok w/ SuperDave, Amanda Cole, and some Holers.
I visited Andy, Post, and Matt on F2, it brought back sweet memories...
I got home from work and within a few minutes, got a phone call...
"can you come fix my internet?"
It was Rachel, so I went upstairs and fixed her internet. She fixed me dinner. Then I sat around and joked w/ Rachel and Sarah. It was fun.
Now i'm back in my apartment and just relaxing, realizing that this summer was great. It wouldn't have been great w/o the friendships I've had over the summer. I sit here and praise God for those that are in my life, for He has blessed me with them.

time

so the only thing that has changed this summer has been the time.
earlier tonight i had people over for my birthday which was amazing. adam, superdave, and myself grilled some cheadar brawts. kari brought over a cake she made me from scratch. It was amazing. I even got a surprise of a friend coming back this way on her way home. I haven't seen her all summer and it was great to see her. So through the night these people came over and were a part of my birthday: SuperDave, Ross, Adam, Abbie, Hammer, Kari, Thomas, Jamie, Rachel, Jennie, and Amanda. As the evening unfolded, i've come to realize that nearly 3 months have passes since school was in session and the drama is still there. I mean, the only thing that has changed has been the time. It is almost time for school to start and the drama has never stopped.

I don't get it. The bubble of lincoln has made me incoheirent to the drama that has been going on in other peoples' lives. Now let me include that some of the drama...(and when i say some, i mean nearly all of it)...is the same as when school was still in session.

I will end it on this note...
...while living in lincoln this summer i've come to the conclusion that it is always the same stuff...just a different day....

tubing...well not exactly

yesterday we went tubing...and when i say "we", I mean, carson, nate, sarah, rachel, and superdave.

It looked like the perfect day for tubing....90 degree weather....sunny....a cooler packed with pop-cycles and lemonade....couldn't get any better....

We put the tubes in at 1:45...and it only took about 2 minutes for us to realize, we're not gonna be moving very fast down Salt Creek. during this adventure down the creek, nate caught a fish...in his lap...superdave grabbed (the fish) and threw it...it was a sight to see...We came to a point that we could see the 55 overpass...and the water was like a sheet of glass....no movement what so ever...superdave goes up the bank to see how close we were to any houses, cars, or any sign of life...nothing but cornfields...so what do we do...we hike through the corn field next to the creek instead of walking in mid-thigh deep water. Now keep in mind, superdave and i have watershoes on and nate, carson, and sarah have flip-flops on...rachel had nothing on her feet..and she still hiked with us..what a trooper...So we finally got back into the water and are under the 55 overpass. We asked some fisherman that were in a canoe that we had passed and been passed by a few times while in the creek "what time is it?"...it was 4:30 and we still had 4 miles to go...and superdave had to be back in mason city by 6. Superdave gives his shoes to rachel since we probly would be walking more and he decides to walk back to the cars in the park. He was going to hitchike down 55 to the exit and to the park. He said he got picked up after he walked back to business 55.

*Now imagine Superdave walking down 55 with no shirt and no shoes...

So we went on down the creek and decided that we needed to walk through the field cause it would make better time back to the car and easier since we wouldn't be going through water. So we walked....and walked...and walked...and after going through some weeds that made our legs feel like they were on fire, we jumped back into the creek and kept on going. we kept on going and were at mile marker 5. I know that we have to be close....so we keep going, rachel wonders up the side of the creek to see if she can see anything...any sign of life...cause we couldn't even hear anything...no cars...no nothing...Rachel spotted a hot air balloon and the rock quarry. We were close, real close. Somehow I managed to flip over without anyone helping me...imagine that, i dunked myself. Nate is about 100 ft ahead of the rest of us and as we turn the bend...he yells saying he can see the bridge. We walked that last leg of the trip and it never felt so good to be back to my car....We made it back...with one of the craziest tubing experiences ever.
After making it back to Rachel's we decided we would get cleaned up and go out to eat at Steak n' Shake. We ate...and we ate...and we ate...I had a double bacon steakburger, w/ cheese fries, chili, and a milkshake...plus cobler a la mode...oh it was heavenly....
