I shot the sheriff - but I didn't shoot the deputy

Just got our acceptance letter to the Jamaican Feast site! Woohoo!!!! Now I’ve gotta straighten out this whole room situation and then the reggae-fest begins. I refuse to pay for two rooms. I refuse, I say!!!

I just got back from giving dear ol’ Clemson $1700 of my hard-earned dollas. I had to repay a travel advance and pay my security deposit for the married student apartment we’re moving into next month. It’s old, but utilities are included in the rent, it has 3 bedrooms, a playground almost right next door, free cable, and free high-speed internet (I think). The neighborhood is also quiet, and everyone has kids. I think the next year’s gonna be pretty fun. My brother has already begun making his ‘tailgating’ plans for Texas A & M, Miami, and Florida State.

It’s almost time for Pentecost, and I must say that I’m glad. I’ll get to hear some great sermons the next coupla days and spend quite a bit of time with the ol’ church family. I’m gonna kick back tonight and finally finish reading the latest booklet. I usually finish new booklets the same day I get them, but for some reason every time I pick this one up I get sidetracked. What I’ve read so far has been interesting – no surprise there. I love hearing about the correlation between the first Pentecost celebrated by the newly-emancipated nation of Israel and the Pentecost of 31 A.D.

I’ve been trying to rent “The Empire Strikes Back” for about a week now with no luck. Nick fell in love with “Star Wars”, and I’ve never seen TESB from beginning to end. I did read the novel adapted from the screenplay when the movie came out *geek alert*, but I’ve only seen snippets of the movie. I’ve tried to get Nick to use the term “Storm Troopers” as opposed to “White Guys”; I wouldn’t want someone overhearing him use that term in a negative way get the wrong idea. I guess I could get his mind off Dark Vada by taking him to see “Sharkboy & Lava Girl”, but I think I’ll wait until it’s on DVD.

I think I’m going up to the Water Wheel (a local homemade ice cream shop) and get another of those joints I had yesterday – a sugarfree caramel frozen latte with Splenda™ and whipped cream. *licking lips* Before that though, I think I’m going to break down and shoot some ball. I’m sure I’ll be gasping for air after 1.5 minutes, and my vertical leap is now almost completely horizontal, but it’s still fun. Maybe next week I’ll be brave and venture out to the Ultimate field. Perhaps I can get Aaron, Chad, Summer, & Ash out there too. (Mondays & Wednesdays @ 6:00 on Bowman Field). Lemme go change clothes. Holla!
