| Since no one reads this I feel safe...
And if someone does... it's because they check it randomly... or still feel a need to try and connect..
My mom starts all her treatment... and appointments today... I have not heard them talk about TIME or odds... or any of that... and frankly, I know if they did... it wouldn't be encouraging.
What is encouraging though is God.. I was reading some old entries from a DIFFICULT time in my life, seems silly and minor compared to all this, but I realized the pain and helplessness I felt back then. I did end up trusting and believing God would see me through, and show me better days... and HE DID!
The same is true here and now... Sometimes in the storm it is hard to hear him whisper his answer or reply... but it will come and it will come with GLORIOUS and AMAZING CARE, LOVE, and PERFECT TIMING!
Love is the greatest measure of life... and the life I live must be near the top of the charts... we spent the 2nd weekend in a row out in south haven... my parents, the OWENS', Tea, everyone... even EmO and her friend Rachel were there from Minn. It was really symbolic of what life is all about, its about love, family, friends, and living in Gods plan, warmth and his loving desire for us to love one another.
On a tangental note, Emily spoke repeatedly of how excited she is to spend time with my parents and to have them in Rochester with her. A blessing cloaked in something dark.... sometimes thats the way life is. Finding light in the darkness... seems to be much more.... hmmmmm rewarding? because... the journey is intrinsicly good.

| Ok... so I am sitting in school... and I feel like I am dying...
heres the scoop:
This weekend I tooka practice exam at school and it made me realize HOW LITTLE I actually know right now... and how much I have to learn, or teach myself, or review, or whatever you want to call it... all this by Dec.
School is just draining me, cuz I try and do too much.
Saturday... tea found a condo she really wants to get, and I am pretty excited!
After the practice exam... we went to Krystins birthday... which I was a little nervous about and worried... just cuz I didnt think Id have fun... and what do you know? I had a blast...
Krystins friends were a hoot... had a lot of fun, even though I made an idiot of myself... but I dont even care... as long as other people laughed and had fun... then I am happy too.
Thats the thing... I like being myself, and I like not caring what people think about me, as long as I am truly myself... and I was, and even if i never see those peeps again... it was still a fun night...
anyways... I am sick now though... and that stinks a little... so Imma try and get better. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| Well my life has been busy the last few weeks... I started law school at Ave Maria, and it is kicking my butt.... I love the place though and I will update better as soon as I can...
I also am playing hockey out in Ann Arbor with a bunch of Ave and U of M law guys... we played last night and I was in goal... we won 5-0... heheh I got a shutout, my first game back after 9 years without playing... it was cool.
Aside from that, a lot of craziness in my life... I was thinking of starting a blog... but no one reads this, plus I have facebook and myspace, and it is all too hard to keep up with it all so I figure ill just post here when I can and keep up here and there with those... I do like going back and looking at things....
More updates to come... | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| Well...I am going to visit Ave Maria School of Law (AMSOL) today... to check out the campus and find out about loans and such...
It is funny... few things make me nervous, but I am nervous about this... but in a focused sort of way. It is almost surreal.. I am actually visiting the place I am going to go to Law School at... how odd?
More reports about it...later.
Oh yeah.. and Tigers start a BIG series against the White Sox tonight,and YAY the Hurricanes won game 1 last night. | | comments: 2 comments or Leave a comment |
| So the Pistons won!!!! Yeah!
Aside from that...
I was reading the Detroit News and came across this
http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060530/OPINION01/605300305/1008
Pretty decent... if read correctly. I think it really puts a hole into the theory of socialism and economic equality as a utopia or even end goal.
Also... I have been thinking about starting a blog? I dont know... it would be pretty much this... but a little more focused on ISSUES... I could probably keep both for a while... I would just be more FOCUSED on issues and news and politics and society and moral issues... there... and more day to day here...
Also I would use better grammar there, and not so much in "Speak type."
Just an idea. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| So we just got back from our trip to: Philadelphia/Atlantic City/Ocean City/South Jersey/Hershey/Philadelphia :)
It was the most fun ever.
Quick sum:
Fri: Flew in... settled in... went to South Street in Phila... kinda cool, like a crowded Royal Oak or Ann Arbor mixed with a little bit of ghetto.
Sat: Atlantic City, but no casinos. Did the outlet store thing :) Hit up Ocean City after that... mucho fun... boardwalk, the ocean, Tea, lots of Touristy Stores... what more can a guy ask for? After that went back to South Jersey (Cherry Hill) and went to a bar/club to watch the Pistons LOSE! It was dead for a while but then it livened up... kinda... Tea drank a lot of Cosmos... and the girls in South Jersey are ...hmmm not prude... but boring and lame... like they are just blah. (Long story rofl)
Sun: Hershey!! CUTEST Motel ever...hershey was small but neat! The concert was Amazing!!! Sugarland ROCKED!!! it was their last show with Kenny... Kenny Chesney was AWESOME!! Sound was cool, venue was good, seats were good, etc....
Mon: Drove back to Phila... ran around the Liberty Bell and Indep. Hall etc... definitely need to go back.,.. didnt save enough time for that! Flew out...
Tues: Went to a Tigers game with Johnny, Tea was their in a suite with her work. Tigers lost... went to Bookies afterwards and had a BLAST!!!!!
Thats my weekend + in a nutshell..... now lets just watch the Pistons come back and beat the heat :) | | comments: Leave a comment |
| So..... I have been having some thoughts about law school...
Ave Maria is where I wanted to go since well... I realized that I wanted to go to Law school for REAL back in 01/02... it just seemed perfect... small, private, catholic, with great faculty and a true and honest mission.
Recently though, there has been a lot of controversy... and not that I am one to be afraid, but I am big on principle and meaning.
What if I go to AMSoL and then they move a year or two after I graduate and the prestige of the school goes down? Not that I care about REPUTATION but we all want our degree's to MEAN Something. OTherwise we would get them from Univ of Phoenix online. (Not downplaying those that get them that way)
Also... how bad has this controversy hurt AMSOL already? Will I graduate and my JD mean zero because the school is no longer ABA accredited?
I have the ability to go elsewhere but time is running short.... I know prayers will help so please keep me and this in yours. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| So lets have an update.....
This weekend is the HOEDOWN! Lotsa fun... last night Tea and I cruised down there... fiasco in the Greektown P-Garage... but we made it... and what do you know a Robin and a Tberry were there... so it was SChweeet.
Today is Brittney's Bday party... so that should be fun... and then tonight is this cool thing at the VFW post my parents go to... its a Ball sorta thing, cuz it is Armed Services Day today :) Then tomorrow, back to the HOEDOWN :)
Work is ok... what I do is fun... as per the type of things Im doing... the specifics not so fun.
Next Weekend is the Philly, PA trip!!!! Woo hoo... Atlantic City, Philly, Hershey and Kenney Chesney :)
Oh and of course the Good news :)
I have been accepted to 3 law schools so far... and the most exciting part is that my #1 choice: Ave Maria: http://www.avemarialaw.edu accepted me and is giving me a pretty sweet scholarship! So... I will be going to law school in Ann Arbor next year... I am scared, excited, nervous, and about 50 other emotions :)
Ave is seriously the place to be right now... and from what I hear of the 2009 class (mine) it's the whose who of young conservatives... at least that is what Joanie tells me.
Aside from that not a whole lot... just thought Id do a quick update....
Oh yeah...
Im home this summer so:
-Tigers Games as per usual
-Fun other stuff
-I can come to "things" that I have missed in past summers and all that jazz | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| Well life surely throws you for a loop sometimes :)
I am officially Catholic now... but not always treated like one, by some :P (yes that is cryptic... no you dont get to know what it means :)
I start my UW job on monday... should be awesome... my beliefs are not always 100% in line with UW thinking, but I can mos def hold onto my values and principles and learn to apply them to that which I will do.
Things should be quite interesting for the next few weeks... we will see how the world deals with it :)
I know that each day I am guided and I must listen... it is funny how few things I regret in life.
