Halloween!

This is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the whole atmosphere of Halloween, even better, time changes Saturday at midnight, so that gives us an extra hour of Halloween. I wasn't planning on dressing up this year because I had no plans, but I was invited to a party on Fri, so now I have to come up with something to wear. My other favorite thing to do this time of year is go to haunted houses. When I was in high school we would always go out to Calhoun, where they had the haunted festival with three haunted houses. It was actually scary and worth the money, but for some reason they stopped doing it. I was disappointed. They now have that new haunted house downtown called "ultimate fear" I am not sure if I am going to make it to it this year, but I have heard it is a good one. Hope everyone has a good Halloween and a safe one.

Half way done

     How's it going everyone? I cannot believe mid terms week has already come and go. This semester is flying by; it feels like we just started not too long ago. I am glad to have those test out of the way though, it is by far the best time of the year and it is Halloween next weekend, so I do not want to have to worry about studying for any test.
     The article I found that I thought was interesting is the one about them finding another "earth like" planet. I think this is very intriguing because I have always had a little obsession about our universe. I have always thought it is way too big for us to be the only ones out there. With them finding this planet, it makes me think that we are one step closer to finding out what else is out there. But sometimes I think that maybe we are not supposed to know what’s out there, and that there is a reason we haven’t been able to figure it out yet. The mysteries of the unknown always keep me skeptical.

     Hope everyone has a good Halloween!

Fright Fest

So the weekend is here again, but it is almost over already. I spent the whole day today with the family, my cousin is in from St Louis, so we all wanted to catch up and enjoy the day. I have been anticipating this weekend because I and a group of friends are going to Arlington, TX tomorrow for Fright Fest at Six Flags. I have not been since I was in middle school, so I am pretty pumped because I love a good thrill from the rides. It is going to be a long day, we are leaving early in the morning, and coming back as soon as the park closes, and then I have to be at work bright an early on Monday, but it is all going to be worth it. Everyone enjoy the rest of the weekend!

TGIF

    

All I can say is I am happy it is Fri. I need a break from work and school. This has been a busy week for me, I know I say that all the time, but this week was extra busy. My aunt is having a garage sale tomorrow and nobody in my family has had one of those since I was 10, so I have a whole bunch of junk that I accumulated over those 14 years ha-ha. Not really, but I do have a bunch of stuff that could be someone else’s treasure, so this is a perfect opportunity for me to try and get rid of it. So that's been taking up a lot of time this week, sorting through things I haven’t seen in years, the funniest thing I found was my first cell phone, let me tell you, I haven’t seen that phone since 2000, it brought back memories of when I was a young kid because the phone was huge and I remember how rare cell phones were back then.

Tomorrow I am going out to the revel to watch Sister Hazel play, should be a good show. I also enjoy the revel so it is a good excuse to go. Anyone been to the revel yet this year? It is usually fun, so I am not worried about it. Hope everyone has a good weekend and Geaux Tigers!

Anyone else notice?

How's it going? The weather is awesome outside today, glad I have the day off so I can spend as much of it as I can outside. Today I am having a blank on what to write about, so bare with me. So, at work there are lots of TV's and usually at least one of them is on the news channel. I could not help but to sit and watch it the other day and question myself as to why they only show negative stuff. Our local news shows about 5% good things going on in our community and the other 95% is about who got robbed? Who got killed? Who killed their kids this week? And I think it is just sad and terrible that they feel it is necessary to focus on all the negative things going on out there. Basically my point is the media has a terrible influence on us and I would be terrifed to let my kids leave the house, if I had any. I just wish they would show the good things going on around us instead of making us paranoid to pump gas with the worry of being shot.

Birthday weekend

Hey everyone, hope everyone had a good week. Mine was pretty hectic, the first test of the semester started this week. But now that I got those behind me it is time to celebrate my birthday. Though my birthday is on Monday, I am going out to celebrate it this weekend because I will be working on mon. blahh. Tonight we are having family and people from work over for dinner and to watch the game, then heading out to hit the town and see what we can get into tonight. I am finding out that the older you get the less exciting birthdays are lol, it is going to be my 23rd birthday and I am excited but not as excited as I was when it was my 16th or 21st birthday. Does anyone else agree? or do birthdays get exciting again once you get older? My cousin and I share the same birthday so me and him are going to have our "family" birthday together tomorrow. He is going to be 4, so I remember when I was that age birthdays were everything, the best day out of the whole year. So I just figured it would be easier for us to combine them instead of doing 2 separate parties. Well hope everyone has a good night and enjoys the rest of the weekend before getting back into the routine of the week. Later  -Chad

What a week

This has been the longest week of my life. Between working every morning and going to school at night I am spent. I used to take my weekends for granted but until I got a Monday-Friday job I now have a new respect for the weekends. I found myself running around like a crazy person again today trying to get assignments turned in on time, I have a terrible problem with procrastinating. What made this week even longer is I came down with one of those 24/hr bugs on Thurs. and I just do not have enough time to be sick right now so I had to just push through and keep going. On a better note, summer ends on September 24th, I could not be happier, this summer has been a hot one. Fall is by far my favorite time of the year, not just because it is my birthday, but because the weather  is awesome and football season. Hope everyone had a great week, thanks for reading. -Chad
