I just wanted to say, I AM SO GLAD THE WINGS ARE ON ICE AGAIN!!!! Seriously, who isn't happy that hockey is back on.

It's pretty late for normal people, but for me the college student, the night is yet young. I think when people talk about how different college is from highschool, they are using it in the "this pole is different because it's three feet longer" way. By that I mean, it's highschool with different people, class times, and routines. It's also harder, but that may be a personal oppinion. I miss my father, my friends, and sisters, but I will be honest and say I miss my animals most. Maybe it's be...

Ever just watch guys and their dogs play. I don't mean like a guy walking his dog down the street, I mean the pair that you just know are perfect friends. They rough house, and you just see that they are inseperable. They're both happy, and there is no reason to seperate them. The saddest thing of all, is when most girls see them they think, "Wow, if they're this devoted to a dog, just think how devoted to me they'll be!' Ladies, I have some sad news for you. If a guy is truly devoted to...

This is probably the strangest thing I have ever gone through. Those who know me, know I hate the overuse of the word "love" in our culture. There is really nothing special about it in our culture today. It is used so commonly, that I have been extremely cautious about using it. If I had any feelings for a girl in high school, I referred to it as being “In like”. I still don’t know if the state of my emotions is mature enough to handle love. That is the problem in its entirety. I cannot st...

I got the chance to walk in the rain again. And I jumped in puddles too! All because I got to hang out with a beautiful friend of mine.

I've taken alot of abuse over the years because I went to a liberal school, but I have very conservative beliefs. One of the beliefs is in superatural design, or creationsim. The beating I took was because though the public school can't prove either one, they decided to take the one with the least amount of evidence to back it up. My problem is that my decision is based on very firm facts and evidence, but I'm not very good an remembering that evidence in a presentable form. I found a site fo...

I was supposed to be conoeing right now, but due to rain the trip was cancelled. The fact that we were going to be on the water, and couldn't take a little water above us disturbs me. Why on earth are we worried about a little rain. The I thought about the way that everyone runs for cover when it rains. What the heck is wrong with us. I'm that odd guy you see, who walks down the street in the pouring rain in a T-shirt. I like the rain, and I still have a childish fascination with it. I a...

Ever just sit back and realize that contrary to your belief, you're not a nice person? There's no use in denying it. Nobody is really nice through and through, and there are some of us, that are only are the tiniest bit nice. It's always wierd to come to the realization that people have a reason to dislike me. I'd like to think of myself as a polite young man raised with old fashioned courtesy, especially when around ladies. But is that really being nice, or just a conditioed upbring...

Over the past couple years I have seen countless people swear that they will change for the better. 99% of those promises fell through and life stayed the same. While thinking about it I realized that I of all people have changed enormously. Some unfortunately for the worse, but alot for the better. Honestly it still surprises me how outgoing I've learned to be. I'm still an introvert, I get my energy back from being alone, but I can do the social scene now. I made friends, I lost people ...

The title of this piece makes it sound like a problem with the opposite sex, but it isn't. My problem is that I think a friendship that I have cherished for many years may be at an end. My friend and I did everything that two guys could, and got into our fair share of trouble (believe it or not). I think that it is all coming to an end for several reasons. We used to hang out at least once a week, most of the time more. In summer we took road trips, visited friends, and had conversations...

I'm sitting in a college hallway, waiting to take a math evalutation test that I not only, don't want to take, but don't need to. I can tell them exactly how good I am at math, very bad. So why am I sitting here with a dozen other people all in the same situation as me. None want to take it, but here we are so we can get appropriate college classes. The worst thing is that I'm going for a major in literature. How pointless can one test get. I don't want to take math, I won't need this level o...

Believe it or not I am at college at last. I'm sitting in my dorm room typing on a laptop that is wirelessly connected to the internet. This may not sound like big news to you, but this is a breakthrough in life for me.Excited or not I need to keep this short so AI can make it in time for campus tour. YEEEEHAW!

Wow, that thrill that you receive when you know you just passed through 12 years of preliminary schooling is amazing! I seriously never thought I would make it this far. But here I am, ready to head off to college this fall for school that I have to pay for. I'm both excited and a little nervous for college. It will be my soul searching journey! Oh yeah! college campus here I come!!!

Saturday! That word held magic when I was a little kid. Now it just means spending alot of time either working (which I wish I could do) or tracking people down to hang out. I still love Saturday because it's a break from the old routine, but when all your friends are working, it can get pretty dull. When did Saturday loose all its flavor? When did I start to regard that one day of the week as a break from routine, in a not so pleasant way? Why don't I look forward to just doing absolute...

It is time for the walls to come crashing down, hopefully though not around my ears. While it may have taken the Israelites seven days to take down the walls of Jerico, physical walls may be easier than the wall I've built around my heart. But as a man who is not only an example to me, but a friend as well pointed out, walls work not only to keep hurtful things out (here I thought he would go with the cliche term of "not letting good things in" but instead he said) but would keep me from givi...
