This is the weekend right?

Well, it has just been one weird weekend. First my cars transmission goes out, and then my granddad gets me a new one. Now its Saturday, and I'm writing this thing. I got up this morning and as soon as I got up, I went out to wash my new car. It was pretty fun. Except for the fact that it was humid as heck and I couldn't breathe. Then as soon as I got done washing my car, I took my Papa Sam out to ride in it with me. Then I went shopping with my parents, out to eat with my parents, to Best Buy to buy a Subwoofer Enclosure for my Mustang, and finally ended the night with my girlfriend! What a productive day.

Just the Friday from Hell getting sent to Heaven

Ok, so on Friday, I was picking up my girlfriend from her house to go to school, and as soon as I pulled out of her driveway, BAM!!! My Camaro's transmission went out. So I'm thinking, oh crap, now I've lost my only means of transportation. Well, now I have to go the whole day without a car, and the whole weekend, and the whole week more than likely. Well, apparently, my Granddad found out my car died, and went out and got me a 2009 Grabber Orange Ford Mustang! As soon as I saw it, I couldn't believe it. I was so Surprised!

Blogging...?

This is a very interesting, and new experience for me. I have never done a blog before. Well, I read one for a high school english paper, but that was part of the course. This is new to me. I am a computer geek, I know alot about them. But blogging is different. I kinda get the concept, but not completely. All I do is type what i think, or how I feel, or even what happened to me during the day. But aside from that, this is all I know what to do. I feel like I'm running a race with this thing.

They call it a wreck for a reason

Tonight, I was leaving my house, and I started backing up into another space that is in our driveway, and I backed into my mamas car. Now, there is no killing my car. It's just not possible. Most people tell me it is indestructible. I think they're right. I have backed into like, 415678643515348644359453434 trees, and that is not a lie. After hitting my moms car tonight, she has two dents in her door, and all I have is paint transfer. No scratches, no nothing. How does that happen do you ask? Lord only knows.

July 23, 1991

A birthday is nothing to scoff at. On July 23, 1991, at 11:09, I was born. That is my birthday. My parents gave me the name Justin Brooks Stone. My mama always wanted a boy named Justin, and they gave me my Daddy's middle name. Its pretty amazing too. I love my family and I love my name. I hope to pass it on to my kids someday, and hope they will accept and embrace it as i have mine.

12/15/2010

I truly am a blessed guy! I have the most amazing girlfriend ever! Tonight she was in the Miss Relay for Life pageant tonight at NGU. She looked sooo beautiful tonight and I just think she looked as beautiful tonight as she always does, and she should've won. But it just wasn't her night. I love her to death and I think the world of her. She is so amazing.

Remember when?

Its 11:53 on Saturday night... Why am I just now getting to this you ask? Because I always forget til someone reminds me. All the time I forget things. I forget times i'm supposed to remember, i forget some calendar dates i'm supposed to remember, even where i parked my car at times. It doesnt bother me too much. Only when i'm trying to remember something really important does it bother me. Like tests or papers or something I absolutely HAVE to do... I'm working on trying to remember things more clearly now. But its not gonna be short term...

That wasnt a break...

Even though its a week after spring break, I still haven't updated my blog... Spring Break.. I worked, spent time with my girlfriend, worked, and oh yeah, worked. I didn't get a real break because I spent it working. Every afternoon I had to go to Boiling Springs Intermediate School where I work in their after school program. Its not that I dont like working there. Its quite the opposite. But they do not pay me enough to put up with what all I have to put up with. They barely pay me enough to do what I do. But thats another story for another day. I had to go to Music and Arts in Spartanburg which is my second job too. All in all, it was ok.

School Load...

AHHHHH!!!!!!! I'm up to my ears in school. I'm so tired of school. Just everything about having to have all the Math and English... I've already taken all these classes, why in the world do I need them again? I mean, if I wanna learn how to multiply 2X2, I'll go back to High School, cause I am not learning anything new in class... Its one reason I cant do one thing at a time. I don't want to take a class I've already taken, let me take what I want to take!

Work...

How many jobs do you have? Most college students have one, cause a regular courseload and a full time job are kinda hard on them. Well, I have two jobs. I work for a music store in Spartanburg, and I work at Boiling Springs Intermediate School. Those two jobs combined, I work right at 40 hours per week. I have a full time courseload too. I started out working at Music and Arts in Spartanburg when I first started school. Now I've gotten another job working at BSIS in Boiling Springs during the afternoons. 40 hours... Wow.

Whew what a week...

Some people say I probably have way too much time on my hands to do this, but I watch a butt-load of tv. It helps me relax most of the time. But there are times when I cannot seem to relax at all. But as far as not being relaxed this week, there are just some things this week that have stressed me a little more than normal. But that is another story for a different time. Rant and rave, rant and rave.

Spring Break? Finally!

There is only one good thing about next week... SPRING BREAK, HALLELUJAH! Let me tell you I have never been more glad in my life to have a week off. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna be going anywhere, but its still nice to have my days off from class. I cannot wait to be with my family and not have to get up at 630 every morning. Thank God for Sprong Break! I cant wait to hang out with my girlfriend, and maybe my car will be fixed so i can go cruising... But lets not get our hopes up...

Gimme a Saturday Night, my Baby by my side :)

So let me tell you... Its a Saturday night... And for only like, the 3rd time in my life did I have something to do. I used to never go out. I never used to do anything. But now, I always have something to do. Assuming my girlfriend isn't working. But I have been blessed that she hasn't had to work much the last few days. Tonight we went bowling, we ate at Golden Corral, and we went shopping at the mall. We had such a great time. When we went bowling, I won twice, and Casey won once. It was GREAT! I'm so glad I have finally found someone to be with on the weekend. She makes me so happy!

Tuesday Morning Class

Tuesday Morning Class... I got to school this morning, and lo and behold I have no Math class... I had no idea on my 30 minute commute that my class would be canceled, and as I got to North Greenville, and found out, I was pretty upset. I wasted all that gas, and 30 minutes driving. But mostly the gas. Gas is what, $3 a gallon? And i'm using a quarter of a tank of gas every dang time i drive. Thats like, 45 dollars every 4 days. Its absolutely absurd! If a teacher is going to cancel a class, I feel there should be a way to notify every student as soon as possible.

Time Managent...

Time management is an important thing in our society. Without it, people lose focus on what they are doing, or they lose focus on the deadlines they have set for in front of them. I know I struggle with it, and I need to find a way to fix this, because if I cannot manage my time now, then I will have a hard time in the future getting into a rhythm or getting things I need to get done, done on time. To be an effective time manager, I will need to step back, and look at what my time management is now, and find a solution to fix why I have the problem, and finally implement the solution into my life.

Writers Block

Writers Block

Grammar? What Grammar?

If there is one thing I want to say to every English teacher I have ever had, is that they need to focus more on English grammar. While I've been studying for this test that I have to do next week, I realized just how much I do not know about grammar. I feel stupid because i'm in college and I couldn't tell you what an Object Compliment is or what subjects are. I wish you had taught me more and that I understood it, because I honestly can say I do not. I wish I could tell them that they need to focus on grammar, because I feel so unprepared.

This is a blog?

Having to remind myself during the week to write this blog is really hard. The only way I can remember is because my girlfriend reminds me everyday... "I'll do it tomorrow," I usually say. Tomorrow comes, and tomorrow goes. And now its Saturday, its so late at night, and I'm still working on this crazy thing. But it doesn't bother me. I'm still getting them done. I really can't say anything bad about this experience, other than i've never had to keep a blog before, that I'm still learning how to do this, and lastly that I don't quite understand how to do this. I've just gotta think about trying to do this earlier in the week...

Job? What job

I've never liked working. I'm just gonna be honest. My parents always yelled at me for not having one,and I would yell back at them that I didn't need one. It would never turn out good for anybody, and this fighting went on for years. It wasn't until I actually got out of high school and started college that I realized I needed a job. And once I realized that, I started finding the best job I could. Since my senior year of high school, I have worked my jobs in this past year than I ever did. In the year 2010, I had 4 different jobs. I started working at an after school program, and then moved to a 2nd shift job working for the same company my dad did. Then I got a job with my church, and then I started working at Music and Arts.

A Zone of Uncomfort

So have you ever stepped out of your comfort zone to try something new? Well, let me tell you this, I have, and it isn't easy. I remember one time in high school, way back at the beginning of it, when classes were first starting and I was 15. It was the first high school class I would ever take, and who knew it would get me so addicted. Air Force JROTC. That was my favorite class. I'll never forget the first semester, I was studying my butt off. But from that first semester, to my very last semester of high school, I never quit. I went on to become the Group Commander, which is a big deal let me tell you. I'll just never forget stepping out of that comfort zone. Can you do the same?

The Great State

If I could live anywhere in the world, It would be somewhere in the southeast USA, preferably Georgia, Alabama, or South Carolina. I'm from South Carolina, but I would choose to live in Georgia or Alabama because sometimes everybody needs a change of scenery, and I'm no different. The landscapes and the trees and everything about the state of Georgia draw me to it. If I couldnt live in Georgia, or South Carolina, I would settle down in Alabama. The great state of Alabama is calling my name with all the open space and large lands I could use for recreation or just to do whatever on. But if I couldnt live in either of those, I'd always be lucky to call South Carolina home!
