Nice to Meet You

Y’all know how sometimes people ask you who you’d like to have dinner with? It can be anybody — living or dead, famous or family, whoever. I’ve never been good at answering that, nor have I been good at filling out the “Who I’d Like to Meet” section on MySpace. Does that [...]

Workin’ Hard

There haven’t been many times in my college career that I’ve actually felt like a college student.  I know, I know.  That sounds really weird, especially because I’m very nearly finished, but the truth remains that there are times that I have to actually stop and tell myself that I am in college.  I suppose I [...]

Correct Me if I’m Mistaken …

I think there’s a point when your teaching style should no longer include showing videos to supplement what you’re teaching.  Shakespeare isn’t that challenging, is it?  There’s a reason there are annotated versions of his works.  That should be sufficient.  There is no need to watch a video.  Come on, y’all.  Maybe I’m biased because [...]

Just a Thought

While driving to and from my mama and daddy’s over Thanksgiving break, it dawned on me that, while I never had a single doubt about it, God does exist. He exists because I am still alive, and He exists because I always have a safe trip going wherever it is I go. It [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone ate a lot of turkey today.  I know I ate more than enough, so I’m thankful the traditional birthday week shopping trip won’t be taking place tomorrow.  That’s true for more than one reason.  Not only do I feel like I gained about twelve pounds just by looking at dinner, I can’t [...]

Overload

I’m just blogging it up on my twenty-first birthday, aren’t I?
Annnyway, quick question:  How is it possible that Compton, California is less dangerous than Memphis?  Does Memphis include Germantown and Millington?  Those are the people you should watch out for:  bored housewives, rednecks, and Justin Timberlake.  Kind of makes you quake in your cowboy boots, huh?
Well, [...]

Unsent Letter, Take Two

Hello, Old Friend,
You might not remember me. We live next door to each other, and we used to talk on a fairly regular basis. That is to say, we used to be friends. In fact, at one point, I remember you once said we were best friends. You also once told [...]

Shout Out

Thanks for making me popular, Lobster and Branch!
Oh, and happy birthday to me! Let’s hope twenty-one is as good as the rest of ‘em!

Annnnd Break

I am back at my mama and daddy’s house. Elizabeth and I got in last night after about seven hours, including dinner at the Big Boy in Louisville. The trip was pretty uneventful, which, as far as the drive to Indianapolis is concerned, is good news. We got waved at by some [...]

Oh, No …

Dear readers (all two of you), we have made it to the ONE MORE DAY mark. Today — namely the part after I wake up — will probably feel like the longest day ever. I have a lot to do to keep me busy, but all I keep thinking is one more day, [...]
