So i went to see Relient K this weekend...can i just say they rocked my socks off! They were absolutely awesome! My favorite part was when he brought out an old school keyboard and started playing i love the 80's....i mean, HECK YES! It was sooooo great! And i got to hang with Mere and get squished by all the sweaty clowns around us! It was great times!
Not to mention that it is Halloween today and i got to hand out candy to the CUTEST little trick or treaters! They were sooo adorable. And its November, so what can be better?
Hope everyone has a great week...oh, and you CAN comment, i actually kind of like it when people write back :)

Do whatcha gotta do...!
So here's the thing. I don' t know if you've noticed or not, but there is this thing i'd like to call the presidential election coming up. I would like to think that everyone has been following the headlines and watching the debate and doing a little research on this topic. I'm not going to tell you who to vote for....no worries on that one. I just want to say a few things, so here we go.
Recently i received an email from a friend that said, "Please don't waste this very important decision on something like religion." Its not a direct quote, and i aplogize for that. But this is the just of what was said. I have to admit, this made me somewhat mad (actually pretty darn mad). I don't think that by voting for a certain candidate that someone is voting for a religion or not. If you are a Christian and you are voting for Kerry you are not going to Hell for it. I also think that you have the God given right to vote for whoever the heck you want.
I am simply asking people to really decide before they vote. Whoever is president next will have a lot of things on their plate. Electing new supreme court judges, dealing/finishing the war, a mob of angry pro-lifers/pro-choicers coming at them, the economic decline of our country. It will be a lot for whomever comes next.
Yes, Bush has taken us to war. Yes, John Kerry supports partial-birth abortions. Yes, they both like to rip each other's necks everytime they are given the chance. But these things are not the only things these men represent! To the untrained eye, they represent the morals of our country. And for someone to say that by voting for (now this is a direct quote) "republicans (religion) or democrats," we are chosing based on a religion. This is not true nor a reason to vote one way or the other. You should not vote for Kerry simply because you are Catholic or Buddist or what have you, and you think Bush is dumb. You really have to examine what you hold highest in regards to your values and morals and see who best represents our country in that aspect. You also have to look at what has happened in the past and what could happen in the future. This war isn't going to end anytime soon, so have to look to someone who will handle that situation with great care. You just have to think about things like this!
So i am not going to try to squash anyone's views, but rather ask you to please...PLEASE! vote for the person who you truly think would lead this country and bring back the morale of our nation. Thanks.

New Week!
Hey All! How's it going? i just wanted to wish you all a very good start to the week! Its going to be a great one! My mom is coming on Thursday, and i CANNOT WAIT to see her again!!! I'm going to leave you with some thoughts...i'll write a better one during the week, i promise!
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." - Ephesians 4:2
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways ackknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. " Proverbs 3:5,6
Okay, so i wasn't going to write anything, but changed my mind...i can do that! God is so amazing. He never foresakes us. How and why do we think we have the right to do it to him then? We can spend our whole lives trying to balance our own things...problems, praises, our every thought, and yet, with that...we are not filled. God is there for us. He will take us on our own path, not John, Billy or Harry's.
Its strange, but this week, i was broken. Not in a bad sense either, nor a colosal change, just broken in my thinking. God has been trying to reach me for the past 2 years. Why now am i just starting to listen? I always thought i was ready and willing to follow, but i was fooling only myself. The Lord has given me so much, who am i to try and mold that? We need to trust that the Lord will take care of us, and he will. He is a God of love....not turning his back. God has a plan...and i am listening now...i'm ready for him to take control. I'll take the journey, only because i know he is by my side.
That's it i guess...it seems so simple to say...may God bless you all this week like he has to me.

Analogy Time!
Hey Everyone...i know you've been missing the analogies, so here we go with another one! yesssss!
You know when you were a kid and it snowed during the school day? You couldn't wait to get back home to go sledding with your brother and sister. You were so excited that you couldn't sit still and your teacher was so annoyed with you because you were "squirmy." So you finally got to go home. Only to get there you had to walk home. This wouldn't normally have been a problem because your siblings were at your side, but today it had snowed -- obviously. But you didn't know it was going to snow that glorious 6 and a quarter inches (which for some spelled out $6.25 in cash! Yay for shoveling), so you didn't bring your cool snow boots. But you don't care as long as you get home and grab the sleds. So you're walking and your brother and sister are making fun of you as normal but then you realize that your shoes are now sopping wet because the snow has turned to slush in the streets from the salt and cars. Darn county workers! But you keep walking and trucking through. So you're walking down Dewey St towards home, when you slip! SMACK! right on the pavement you go. There's ice from the night before that has been covered up by the snow! Ouch! That hurt! Man, if only you'd have seen it! But your brother picks you up and you keep walking. Then you run into your friends from down the street. They are already home and getting their sleds out. How come they got home so fast! i wish i could have! Gosh! But you're almost home free, so you start running! The houses wizzing by you by the speed of light (you're young...you can actually still run fast)! Then you hit, dun dun duhN! WATER ST! The busiest street in your small small town. But its where you need to be...just cross it and you're home. So instead of trying it one by one because then its easier to get lost and or hit by a semi. So you grab each other's hands and walk together...as a group...to make it across. You dodge a car and run like the wind! WHEW! you're finally home. Time to go sledding! You change clothes and head out into the white abyss. Sledding on vinyl and stopping at the ditch. You sled for hours with your brother and sister and can't imagine going back inside. Right before you go in...you all lay there, looking at the pink sky. What a day! You remember the trek you took on the way home. And just smile. You made it through and got to sled. It may have taken awhile, but you're there. And now you're happy.
So, i'm not sure if any of you could relate to this, but this is me. I have recently changed my major and and now looking at options for next year. I'm so excited to start my new career path, but i'm aprehensive about the steps and choices i have to make before i get there. What if an icy patch comes up? I can slip and fall, but still be okay. What if the neighbor's dog attacks me when i get to it? I can get a band aid and stitches, but i'm still okay. The point of this analogy and blog is that i'm not sure what kinds of things i'll have to weather before i get to where i want to go. Nor do i know where i'll be when i finally get there. And some might get there before me...but i have to be patient and stick it through. But someday i will and whatever happens, i will always have my family and friends there to cross that last line and get me through.
Stupid analogy? Let me know, but think about it...sometimes it snows.

What a night...!
When your toes are frozen, it feels like someone has put little frozen sausage links in your shoes and made you walk with them.
Okay, so i went to this haunted house thing last night. Here's how the night went down: We went to LaCrosse to Meredith's sister's house. Her name is Ashley and she is a sweetheart. Anyway, we talked and she said that we could meet some cool people from her bible study...i was like score on that! I'd love to meet new people! So we grab some erbs and gerbs and go to the meeting place. Turns out that only two people from her bible study were there and then a whole bunch of kids from the youth group. So i was like, cool, kids, could be fun. But we ended up sitting four grown women and a 6 foot 5 man in a dodge Neon. Hmmm...interesting. I was trying to eat my sandwich with no arm movement and most definatly no way to drink anything. Not to mention that there was an odor coming from one of the two new individuals in the car....sickening really....So then we drove two hours to Marshfield, WI, to go to the haunted house. FYI, Marshfield is in the middle of nowhere. So then we got there, and there was a huge mother of a line... we decided...hmmm, it shouldn't take that long...people will be going in and out of the building every 10 minutes or so. So we waited...and waited...AND WAITED...until two hours later...we were frozen from the 15 degree windchill and couldn't feel our toes. So we, like chickens, decided to just go back home. So then we left and drove two hours back home. This was interesting too because we were one passenger short, but we seemed to have taken the weird one home with us...can you say freaked me out?! Anyway, we got back to LaCrosse and instead of going back to Winona first, we talked about stupid guys and and pizza breath.
I have come to find out today that we would have been there, in line, outside, until 3 AM, and then would have gotten home at 5 AM. So i just want to say...thanks to Meredith and Ashley for being wimps with me and taking us home!
But i hope to go to a haunted house sometime soon...i mean...i want to get scared!

Small Towns Rule!
Hey Everyone, so i went home this weekend for a night and brought back some of my friends, Meredith and Ashley, from school. They were introduced to small towns in southwestern Wisconsin, and i must say that i think they enjoyed it. We got to see the Big M and all its glory and then took a trek down to the Amish house...dont worry...i didnt talk to them...for fear of being killed. So We just saw their cows and fence and left! Then we hung out at the Otte house, which everyone knows is one of the most enjoyable activities known to man. We had some chili and some soup, played some cards (which i discovered that i am the best at egyptian...sorry to ruin all your fantasies, but i am). It was all around a good time! But i love being home...its great fun and i miss my family (cats included).
So now its back to my lovely life in Winona. Being an RA to the hilt and studying like einstein until my eyes fall out. Hmmm, what bliss!! But in a way, its good to be back, since i have a lot to do.
Anyway, hope you all have a marvelous weekend! Thanks for reading this. Jake rocks my face and always will. Have a good one!

Enough already!
Okay, so i know i've published a post everyday for the past few days...here's why:
1. I don't want to study and whenever i need a break...i blog.
2. I feel like expressing myself... gosh!
3. Jaime reads this, and you know...jaime is the best, so i try to keep her updated since i have no more minutes on my phone card and don't know her phone number.
4. I can't help feeling like someone reads this and is like, heck yes, she is awesome. But Sadly, that this is not true at all.
5. Well, i have college ADD as well, only mine has become ADHD. Not that there is really any difference in those two diseases, but i feel like i have them both.
6. I'm still searching for halloween costume ideas, so hopefully someone on here can help me out with that.
Okay, i could keep going on...but then i think i'd be an darn blogger addict, and who wants that? Anyway, hope you all have a good fall day...its finally fall! and cold! Happy sweater weather!! (as Jaime would say!)

I just don't even know...
So here's the thing. I haven't done an analogy in a while. So we're going to try it again. This one goes out to all the musicians out there!
Strum...strum...strum...goes my fingers on the guitar. I am playing the instrument that i love! It is my outlet and my joy. I love every facet of this instrument. Its ability to compose music, to create a surreality and a sense of soul that only comes from being connected to God and the guitar. I love every beat it makes, its ability to keep the steps of my path, the way it can sound so different than anything ever heard before. As i move up and down the strings, i go to the G chord. Its my chord of choice. One that i have loved since i have begun playing. As i keep going back to that chord, i begin to form caluses. Caluses so thick i can't feel a thing. I don't see that maybe playing this chord so much has began to make my fingers bleed. But i can't feel it. I'm numb. Then i decide to learn a new chord, its an open chord, so as not to hurt myself. The caluses go away or peel off. I can feel again. Then i start to miss that old G chord and start to play it again. The caluses return, only this time they are harder and hurt more. I am now starting to realize that maybe the G chord isnt the best chord, and maybe i should learn a new one. So i keep up this cycle of playing and hurting, until i finally learn that new chord -- the open one with no possible threats. The caluses disappear for good and i'm healed.
Where does that leave me now? Without caluses and always having that G chord missing. Sometimes i wonder what would have happened had i stayed with the G chord? Would the hurting eventually go away? I guess i'll never know. Maybe this one part of the guitar was not meant to be the ruler of all the other parts.
So you may again ask what the heck is she talking about? Here's what i can say: There is something or someone in my past that i never quite finished with. I never got to the point where i felt like i can have closure. I never felt like i could just up and leave and just stop. What if i should have still followed my heart that way? And even now, can i really be over this point in my life? *sigh* i'm going back home this weekend...for one night, and i just don't want to bring back that confusion in my life, but its already back i guess...i'm thinking about it already and its only tuesday.
This has nothing to do with Winona, and mostly to do with Platteville. Those who read this, mostly Brandon, Jaime and Renata, you'll understand...but for others...just take it as life is hard to get over, and sometimes caluses are good...but when they are gone...it is most times better. So be thankful i guess that your caluses are gone.
Hope you all have a good rest of the week!

NEWS FLASH!!
This just in:
As communicated in Winona, MN, and across the greater midwest area there has been reported a shortage of males! This shortage has been reported and confirmed by more than one female on the WSU campus. According to the latest survey, performed by countless hours of looking and searching, there are now only a few reported cases of single, honest, and smart men in the region. Brianne Otte a student at Winona State University claims that, "There is an aweful epidemic sweeping the campus! Every other guy is taken! Or Disinterested! Or gay! Well, more so gay in the Milwaukee area." What has caused this strange new standing? It is said to be caused by the ratio of girls to guys - that being seven girls to one guy. Can this be stopped? Meredith O'Neal, another student at WSU explains, "There is no cure. There are no guys out there. Its never going to end, and Brianne and myself are going to end up lonely old maids." Well, there you have it folks...two testimonies of the wretched condition taking over Winona. Good luck and God speed to all those single women out there...God will provide...SOMEHOW!
So as you can see...I'm having one of those weeks. The lonely ones where you just wish that God would reward your patience! But it seems that guys here...are taken. Just assume it. Or if they aren't taken and you show an interest...the interest isn't shown back. Unfortunatly for me, i'm too shy to ever say anything, so by just hoping and praying i feel useless. But i know God will provide, and he will bless me some day with someone...If only it was soon...
Have a good night, and to all my ladies: Hang in there...

P.S. Um, FYI to all freshmen/sophomore students staying the dorms...nalgene bottles are NOT good places to store alcohol! WE KNOW!
As communicated in Winona, MN, and across the greater midwest area there has been reported a shortage of males! This shortage has been reported and confirmed by more than one female on the WSU campus. According to the latest survey, performed by countless hours of looking and searching, there are now only a few reported cases of single, honest, and smart men in the region.

Um, derrrrrr......
Note to Self:
When eating applesauce and studying...highlighter is not the same as a spoon, and should not be put in mouth. Pay Attention next time!
Yeah, go ahead and laugh it up...just wait until you're studying with a sucker! HA!

Feels Like Home to Me...
Hey Everyone! So i just went home for the first time in 6 weeks. It was GREAT and amazing and i'm so happy that i had that opportunity! I missed my family like crazy, and we were ALL there. It was awesome! Here's some random thoughts on home though:
You know when you go home and you walk in the doors and you smell that house/home smell? you know, the one that smells like laundry and apple crisp and soap and cat pee and home! Oh, i just love that smell, well not the cat pee, but you get used to it...hahahaha only kidding! I got to smell it all weekend and i came back to school today and i smelled it on me. It was one of the greatest feelings...smelling like home again!
Or you know when you just can't stand it when you lose at Mario Kart for the 16th time, but you love it when you and your siblings are hanging out. Even if your brother keeps reminding you that you suck at this game...and that you are the only one that hasn't won a game yet. Thanks Brandon...i love you anyway!
Or when you are about to get ready to get into your car, and you give everyone a hug, but you don't want to let go because you love your family so much! That feeling like i know i'll see you again, but i can't speak because i'm on the verge of tears from saying goodbye.
Ahhhh, home. What could be better (oh i know...seeing my best friend at home too, but she wasn't there this weekend)? Thank you Lord for blessing me with such an amazing family and friends!!
