The World of Baby Shopping

Today I made my way over to the local Wal-Mart to stack up on my two-day supply of soft drinks to manage writing term papers and surveys this week. The intent was to do a little shopping, but then realized - as I did earlier this week - that I had yet to purchase a [...]

Lap 6 - Nearing Midterms, oh the joy

So Sunday is the last day of the month, which means its near the halfway mark of the semester. Funny how that works out. As soon as you get into a rhythm, you find yourself abandoning that rhythm for other responsibilities, class work, spend time developing friends while making a full of yourself in the [...]

Week 5 - Who is the Biggest Disapointment?

Now that we are almost out of the month of September - time sure does fly - questions are sure to begin to fly on which college football program is the biggest disapointment thus far. ESPN has already begun to tackle this issue on many of its college football brands, but essentially the question comes [...]

Sorry for the Delay

It’s been a few days since my last post, perhaps because things are kicking into high gear here with work and it’s getting a little difficult trying to figure out what day of the week, month, year it is.
September, right?
Just kidding on that part, but it is a little hectic here and of course my [...]

Billy Bob the Biblical Scribe

I’d like to tell you a little story about Billy Bob the Biblical Scribe. Billy Bob had just received a job at Abraham and Sons as an entry-level scribe making good money for the day. It was certainly better than his previous job as an outhouse builder outside of town.
Billy Bob’s main responsibility was to [...]

Week 4 College Football - Time to Prove Yourself

Another college football week is upon us. Thankfully, because I could use the excitement of a Notre Dame offensive touchdown.
Yeah.
Notre Dame has a lot to prove this week. Are the Fighting Irish really that bad? (Yes, they are.) But other teams have stuff to prove as well this week. South Carolina has a chance [...]

How Do You Celebrate National Singles Week?

I thought it was a joke as I was driving to class this morning. Certainly, it couldn’t be true.
But in between flipping through top 40, hard rock, Country, and Christian - yeah, it was one of them mornings and it only takes me two minutes to drive to class - I learned about this week’s [...]

Lap 5 - Finding a Church

Two weeks into Kentucky Mayberry and I’ve seem to found a grove when it comes to the education side of why I am here. I’m learning. I’m enjoying the classes. I actually found myself having a debate with myself over a reading that is due tomorrow as I walked to my truck from lunch. That [...]

Training Camp for Notre Dame?

Charlie Weis is at a loss.
His competitive advantage schemes that he brought from the New England Patriots have failed to produce an offensive touchdown in three games this season. Michigan, who had been an equal laughing stock prior Saturday, made the Fighting Irish look like an inept and ill-prepared collection of talent Saturday in a [...]

Lap 4 - Finally, I’m getting this

The last two days have been nothing short of a miracle sent from the love of God.
Let me explain.
I’ve counted at least 10 anxiety attacks this week. Someone should call the Guinness Book of World Records, I may have established a record for anxiety, over reaction, and down right stress and tiredness for one week. [...]
