Thee Journal

Mon, 30 May 2005 15:20:26 GMT

Hello everyone, hows it going? sorry for not updating my journal sooner. I have been really busy but thats nothing new. Seems like I'm always busy. I am still in college, I don't get out of college until June 17 and that is for 2 weeks. In those two weeks, I will be in another country(South Africa) for my 1st mission for 10 days. So I have been trying to get everything ready. This trip will be my 1st for a lot of things, ie 1st time to fly alone, to go to another countryor state alone, to check in/ out of a hotel alone, getting my passport alone which I had to take the picture 2 times, customs alone. I'm going as an independent so I won't meet anyone from DFA until I get to Atlanta, if I don't get lost because my parent said that they got lost in there before.

School, is just always busy with projects. Yes, I am going to still be in school when you guys are on your summer break but know this, I WILL BE DONE WITH COLLEGE THIS YEAR
(Dec 16). The weird things is that the ceremony is in Oct 30, so I can go to the ceremony and actually not get a assoc. degree. OH, I still have all A's but I lost my perfect attendance for the whole year which was my goal. I over slept one day and only missed one class which sucks because just that one class! That and two people got acknowledge for having perfect attendance and/or improving their grades! That sucks! How can I improve A's? Sorry, I'm just blowing off steam in here and not at someone that I really care about and talk to a lot (RMP).

I also been busy with volenteering at my college church childeren's ministry, those kidds are animals! One time, someone came in to give them a snack and they tried to attacked that person to I said that I would take them but that was a mistake... they attacked me. Other times, they would attack me with chalk, jump on me, take my name tag, or ask if I'm making something for my GIRLFRIEND. Well, that ended Weds. with parents night which only 3-4 out of 10-12 showed up.

I went to BCC this weekend, and it was awesome. So much better than my other church. Danny sermons are awesome. I'm thinking about going to their next big study because I think it is something that someone needs to hear (RMP), that and I feel so comforatable there even if I am alone. I even want to go to diversy city. Scott Miller told me that he will be leaving BCC in a week or two. I'm going to miss him because he was the first person I talk to about Jesus Christ and ask a lot of questions, which it was one of the turning points of my Faith. Well, I'm going to go finish laundry that I started yesterday... lol

Peace

Busy Busy Busy

Hey, sorry I have updated my journal in like a couple of days but I have been very busy. Thursday I got up at 10 am and went to work at 11. I was exposed to work 11am-4pm and then 5pm-9pm... Key words "exposed to"! I got to work from 11am-10:45pm... that is a very very long time to be working. The night shift was ok because I delivered and got good tips. I didn't take a break to eat all day so I was hungry when I got home which was around 11pm. I didn't want to get online because my mom was asleep and this computer is in her room. So I rented Starsiky and Hutch which that is a good movie.

Today, I got up and checked my mail. I was too lazy to update too. Me and Kevin went to get his check, went to Circle Center and played the arcade for a couple of hours. We ate at Burger King... I got a free apple pie! Guess what!! Kevin paid me back and paid for the movie that we saw tonight. I said I will pay him back for the movie even though he owes me more than that... I'm just playing around. So Kevin, don't get mad! We watched the second Bourne movie. That is a good movie but you should see the 1t one before you go. Well my mind is blank so I'm out...

Peace

I'm Bored!

Tue, 20 Jul 2004 21:53:27 GMT

Hey, I am off today and have nothing to do but clean my house which is not going so well as you can see. I am trying to find something else to do instead. I am a big procrastinator. Maybe, in college I will start my life back up again... like I had in H.S. but not too busy. I still want to have fun that and I need to do very going in college. I would if there is anyone who needs help in the community or something like that. Just don't know how to go about doing it. I like to help people and talk to people even though I don't talk. Still trying to work on that.

I got off for the Cedar Point trip July 28 and the 29th. I don't know who will be going. I need to get a riding buddy because I don't think Matt is going to go and he said he will find someone. Oh well... Shat Happens... lol. Well I'm out...

PEACE!!!

Wanna Come In?

Tue, 13 Jul 2004 21:20:03 GMT

Have you guys seen a new show on MTV called Wanna Come In? I had just watched it and it is funny. It is were a shy guy has another guy, who is smoother with the ladies, help the shy guy on a blind date by having a microphone or something in their ear. During the date the shy guy has to do a could of challenges in a certain amount of time to win some money but the only way you could win the money is if the girl says "Wanna come in?". It is funny to watch because the shy guy is stumbling through the conversation and stuff like that. I shouldn't talk because I would probably do the same but it is funny to watch.

Well I'm out...

PEACE!!!

Its time...

Mon, 12 Jul 2004 03:43:19 GMT

Hey, I got back from CIY Friday night. A lot has happened since the last entrance. CIY was every emotional to me because I am now going thought a identity period. For the past year, I had been going to church with my friends or girlfriend at the time and I had never really knew god. I saw what my friends had and I wanted a relationship they had with god. I had never really read a bible neither less own my own bible. I am wanting to give my life to God but I would want to know more about him before I do so. It seemed like every night I would cry. I have some issues that I would have to work out before I commit to God but I want to. When I get baptized, I get to have a person to push me under the water and I would like my best friend to do that because I kinda look up to him. He was the one who really showed me a relationship that I really wanted with God.

CIY, I did something that people didn't thought I would do because I am so shy with new people. I went around the conference giving hugs to anyone just to sleep in a bed. Because we had 5 guys in a small dorm room which had only two beds and I really wanted to stay with them. So I slept under the bed for the first two nights. On the third night I wanted a bed so we had a hugging contest to see who would get the most hugs. I got second place but that means that I got a bed. I hugged over 350 different people. My friend beat me with 420 something hugs but they knew him from the night before. He got over 100 girls autographs. It was fun because after that people would ask if I got the bed and stuff like that. There was this one girl who wanted to take a picture with me just so she could remember me... sweet ain't it? There was another girl who wanted my address which was new for me because I don't have any girls wanting to writing me. Of course, I gave it to her because I'm a nice guy like that and would do just about anything if you just asked nicely. Well, I'm out for the night....

PEACE!!!

CIY

Hello... I am at Anderson on my CIY trip with my church. So far I have had a lot of fun. Today, was the first time I had ever played a game called Buck-Buck. It is a kinda hurts but it is a fun game. There is a line of people connected by hugging each other waist and bending down, and you have people leap frog top of the line. The purpose of the games is to break the line and or if your in the line... you are trying to keep the line together. But that the game is not the whole reason why I came here.

I came here because I wanted to get closer to God... to have a better connection and learn more about him. This is kinda hard doing it by myself because I am the only one in my immediate family that actually goes. I sometime get jealous with other families cuz they do it as a family thing. A thing that has not happened to my family in a very long time which I really don't like. I would remember when I was younger that every Christmas, My family will have a reunion and I that to me was really fun. Every year I would be waiting to see them again. Maybe, when I get a family, not any time soon, I will try to have a reunion every year like I had so my kids will know their family more than I do. Well I'm out to have more fun this week...

PEACE!!!

Good Times and the Bad...

Sun, 27 Jun 2004 04:35:37 GMT

Hey, Sorry for not writing sooner, I was very busy. I worked 8 days and I requested 3 days because I thought I was going to the Pro-Life Concert but things came up with my friends and I didn't want to go by myself. So for the last couple of days I had been hanging out with some friends.

OH, Friday, one of my friends set me up on a blind date with his girlfriend's best friend and that did not go so well. I am very shy with new people, especially with starting the conversation. I would try to talk to her but just about everytime I tried to start something, my friend's girlfriend will start talking also which is not a bad thing but they were talking about things that I did not know about. They went to a different school from me. I lack the people skills to do that but I am a nice guy... so I get a lot from my friends.

Here is how the date went... First, I picked up everyone because it was also a double date with the friend who hooked me up. Then we went to Taco Bell to eat and take food to his mom who works the BCC. After that we went put-put, which was kinda fun because we were goofing off. She was not talking much so I could tell that she wasn't interested. To night, I hanged out with my friend and he told me that she said that I was not her type... good luck following that... lol. I am having girl problems.

Well I out...

PEACE!!!

I will try to write something in later on the week but that depends because I get to work a 7 day week... YAY!!!

GREEN DAY'S NEW CD!!! YAY!!!

Sat, 19 Jun 2004 03:19:43 GMT

Hey, I was bored today and I got on a Green Day and I was saw that they are going to be having another CD coming out in 2004. I can't wait because Green Day is the shizzznaa... I bought the new Pilar CD that came out on Tuesday. That is a good CD... I would recomend u buy it. That is if you a christian rock fan like I am or I'm trying to be.

Well I'm out...

PEACE!!!

BOREUM....

Hey, my friend are on a mission trip and the others are busy. I have nothing to do until I go to work and that is it... not fun. I was used to hanging out with my bestfriend like everyday but now he is gone to a mission trip in Mexico.

The new Harry Potter Movie is very awesome!!! It is better than the last two... I think. If you had read the book before watching the movie then they will be some mistake you will catch during the movie. Don't ask me cuz I don't like to read. I was with my friend and everytime there was a mistake, you can tell it by how he acted. We saw the movie right when it came out at Midnight. My friend lucked out and got to sit by a cute girl and I got to sit by a college guy, who left during the movie a couple of times. I was jealous of my friend because he could talk to her and I find it hard to start small talk with a cute girl. I need to get out of my shell, so I can meet more people.

Well I'm out...

Peace!!!

Tue, 15 Jun 2004 21:30:45 GMT

Hey, I have been busy for the last couple of days either at work or hanging out with friends. Sorry, to those who actually care to read what I have to say, although it just may be one person who reads its. I really do not know how to tell other people that I am doing this without sounding like I'm bragging or sounding desparate. I am quiet like that.

After tonight, I will not have a lot of friends to do things with for a week because the people the I hang out with a lot are going on a mission trip in Mexico, LUCKY DUCK!!! I wish I would had known about the mission trip but I was going to another church with my girlfriend at the time they were signing people up. Oh well, I probably couldn't have done it. I started to go back to Brownsburg Christian Church in like Feb. and I hear people say that they don't really like it which is kinda stupid. I'm from a small town and what BBC is doing is better than the country church which I was going to. I love the Christian music, the way the mistery is, and the people there. I look forward to go to church every Sunday because it is fun. There will not be a lot of people there because of the mission trips their having at the same time. I'll just try to talk to people who I don't really know well or something. Well I'm out...

Peace!!!

Whats Up?

Tue, 08 Jun 2004 21:29:52 GMT

Hey... I don't know if I should see the Passion of Christ because movies are made for entertainment and I don't think watching my Savior being crusified for my sinns is a type of entertainment. I had been thinking about that for a while so if you read this... please give me some advice and if you ever need advice from me then I will always listen to the people who need to talk to someone.

This week it Brownsburg Christian Church Vaction Bible School and I am a assistant to my friend. This week I get to get up early and go to church and watch kids. I have to deal with the 3rd graders. They are weird and hard to control because they ask "why" a lot. The next person I hear ask "why" is going to get hit... lol... not really. They girls in the group will not hold my hand but they will smack my butt. I find that very strange... I think they might be thinking that I have a nice butt to smack... just playing. Too bad this will be the only year I could do it because next year I will be still in school (college). Unless I move close to home after college and do it but why would I do something like that.

I can't wait to get out and my mom is getting so sensitive. The reason why I want to get out is because I just dont want to tell anyone where I'm going and when I'll be back. My younger sis moved out, dropped out of HS, is engaged and yells at my parents but if I even raise my voice to them, they will get all over me about it. So now they are treating my sis like she is an adult. One time I came in late without telling them where I was and my mom asked me if I wanted to be treated as an adult with means I had to buy my food (lunch) and other things on my own. My dad is ver laid back and he says that I'm 19 and that I don't need to tell them everthing so I usually tell him anyways instead of my mom. So now I could say I told one of my parents... ha ha.

Well I'm still trying to learn how make my profile better but I dont know how or dont want to do anything to it to make it not work. So if you are interested in reading then please tell me how to make it better but giving me a step-by-step info on something cool.

Well I'm out...

PEACE!!

HELLO.... PEOPLE...

Sat, 05 Jun 2004 05:52:34 GMT

Hey, this is my first entry for this journal and you don't know anything about me so I'll try to explain myself to you in words... sorry if my grammar sucks because I hate english. My name is Brandon and I am a graduate from great old Tri-West. Now, I cant take it easy because in high school I used to be so active, I had to schedule sleep. Seemed like every moment was plain ahead. I was in Marching Band/ regular band for 4yrs, Winter Drum Line(senior yr), stage crew(soph.-sen.), swim team(junior-senior), track (junior), service club which is a community service(senior yr). With all of that going on I had a part-time job at some restaurants and I have bills to pay. My parents don't spoil me unlike some of my friends and sister!!

I am soo glad all of those things are over for good... now I can't wait until college next year, International Business College, which is a technical college in Indianapolis. I will be majoring in Graphic Design. The cool thing about it is that I will be graduating Dec. 2005 just after I graduated in May 2004. So I will be on my own pretty soon.

I am a nice and quiet guy who tries to fit in and find a crowd but it has not been working a lot. I have a couple of very good friends, like Kevin, Robert, Matt and Kelli, and the others are not as good. I find it very hard to open up to people, especially to a very cute female, because I am afraid of feeling stupid and getting hurt. When I was younger I was made fun of my speaking ablility so I am still afraid. But I had made some changes through the years. So if your around me and I don't talk a lot... now you know. People say I'm a really good guy if you get to know me. You can never have too many friends so I try to make new friends and work on getting a connection with others.

I have been single for a couple of month... I broke up with my girlfriend, we had been going out for about 2 yrs, because I was feeling trapped and I had felt that we had lost that connection we had before. So now, I miss having someone to connect with and I get lonely easily when I'm with my friends and their gfs or would-be gfs. So if anyone of you want to talk to me some more then IM me at BTRiGBY and I will listen... which I am a good listener. I will tell you more about me later and what is going on in my life... if your interested. Well I'm out for tonight...

PEACE w/ LOVE....

Brandon
