I am midway through May Term, the most wonderful time of year! At the least its a close second to Christmas.I've been reading The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek. It is a good book.I've been fulfilling my new duties as student body president. I love the job.I've been chilling in the sun. Beat that.

This week was only a half week of camp; I'm free until Sunday! And my bad week fortunately turned better as the campers left. It wasn't bad because of the campers- I really liked our bible study group this week. I just didn't feel right this week. The feeling was characterized by seeing a fawn die in the sun in the middle of field and a baby mouse pass away as we carried it outside and set it

I’d like to share a little bit about myself and what I’ve learned. Three things-- It is not about me. I cannot save myself. It is about what God does. I remember the first time I tried to save myself. After a routine day of preschool, my family was sitting around the dinner table. I was probably only about four years old. I said, “We sat in class for devotions today, and Miss Jill asked

I've been listening to the drums in many songs more closely than in the past because I will be playing them this summer. Jimmy Eat World's drummer is one of my favorites at this point. Drumming, specifically, isn't really the point of this particular blog-post. Music and what-I've-been-listening-to is.Jimmy Eat World was the soundtrack to last month.

I am at home for Easter. Not greater than 5 minutes I was skirting around Facebook looking at my friends' profiles, visiting groups and looking at pictures. Somehow I got to a Facebook profile of female who I had never met. I looked at her musical preferences and was impressed. I was further impressed by the movies, books, quotes, and groups she was involved in. Well, I scrolled back up to

These are kinda some things I have been learning in my life, confirmed by others.Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, wrote about his ability to understand God in his book The Seven Storey Mountain (much like a modern Augustine's Confessions):"What a relief it was for me, now, to discover not only that no idea of ours, let alone any image, could adequately represent God, but also that we should not

Sadly, its been 2/3 of forever since I last updated "your directions." The biggest reason besides being busy (which is a bad excuse because it frequently gets put of in an effort of procrastination) is probably that I have been unsure of how t put the thoughts I have been having into words. You may doubt me, but I am serious. There is some deep stuff that I have been unable to understand- its

I am more than glad I joined Bobby and Bryan on their spring break trip. It is the most fun I have had in a long time. Here's what happened. Friday night we drove to my house to eat before Bobby drove through the night in order to reach St. Joseph's around 10AM Saturday morning. We unpacked and trekked over a mile out to a campsite. It ended up being an hour walk from the site to the

I am going to St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Florida for spring break. I just read that it is featured as top beach in the United States by CNN. Bobby, Bryan, and I will be camping in a rugged manner much like this picture except minus the camper and any other supplies they might have. We leave Friday evening after our farewell dinner at my home and we will come back when we are ready (i.e.

I think it has something to do with the omnipotence or something. He's pretty wise, too.I have a problem with this one prayer.

I was just musing on the root of joy last night, wondering how the physical and spiritual interact. Can one trumped the other? Does joy only rest in one of those realms? So here are my thoughts, correct me if I am wrong/heretical/et cetera, or if you have insight, please.I am the same as others in this world; that is, our souls are created the same. Our souls have the same ultimate desire,

There are a couple of reasons why I like Tony Dungy. He is the winning coach of my hometown team. Go Colts! He is cool tempered, but passionate still. He knows when to speak and when to be silent and uses his words wisely. Check this article out. The real reason I posted. It talks about Tony Dungy's sons' death and Tony comments at the Super Bowl Breakfast where he was invited to speak.

Bekah was working the Kem desk and said something about words in season while I visited. I had a guess of what she meant but when I asked her more definitely, the conversation passed that point quickly, and I received no answer. Lucky for myself and whoever might be reading this, I experienced four different words in season in only one day. Let me share both the season and the words with

Finals are officially done in a few minutes and I couldn't feel better, besides my tiredness and that I think my finals will hurt, not help. But I learn and change how I do things in order to get better results, so I'm not too hung up on that. Well, why can't you feel better? (that's what you might ask if you were talking to me) I would answer because winter break is going to be a lot of fun.

School is so hard. It's not the material. It's not the assignments or the work. I just don't want to do it. It frustrates me. I'm tired of it.XC is hard but I am not tired of it. I enjoy it. It is very tough. Down with acid, up with hard running. That's my motto. I could probably do better.IWU has facebook now so check me out. If I know you, I will be your friend. I'll even say that I

Is there a better time to return from an extended vacation from blogging except when you have plenty of reading and little motivation? (The answer is no. If you don't believe me, read this post)I am having a great time here at Indiana Wesleyan University, often called I-whoo, ih-wa, or the woo by native inhabitants. I have now spent an official week of classes here at school featuring meals at

It is amazing, I know, but Jared makes a terrific return to blogging. I am way to lazy to do my own site, so I just put it all on Stephen Cady. So anyway, life is pretty sweet becuase I am now an official student of Purdue University. I have got to be able to find a nice girl out of 16,000 of them. The bad part of college is the class thing. I had to read 150 pages in a textbook in the first

In a great feat of hits and throws, the Tribe pulls out a solid victory 8-3 against the Charlotte Knights. In support of our Indianapolis Indians, Zach, my dad, and I hit the bleachers ball gloves in tote. The game was complete success as the Tribe won and all three of us ended up with tattoos on our arms. We're tough. Watch out. Watch out...

Did you know we are close to the end? Something new will be coming. But we're gonna have to go through some crap first, trust me. For the past several months, stuff has been great. It's been low maintainence, high performance. Tell me what is a better combination. The fact is, I don't think I want to start college this way.

Red is sufficient. After all my running endeavors, meets, and practices are done, I finally get the type of reward that I desired. A red medal and red ring are sufficient.For those of you that have not heard, Lucas, Scott, Scott, and I placed 2nd overall in the state meet 3200m relay (4x800) (4x2laps).

I don't know about you, but sometimes I get upset that someone who does not do nearly as much as me gets the same honors. Please ignore the fact that recently I've gone to the extreme of being that kid who does not do the fair share. And as implied in the previous sentence, that is not fair. Please accept an apology if I have not done my fair share with you. I am sorry.When I do more than my

Soon I will have the oppurtunity. That is, as soon as I finish the menial stuff of school, it will be summer and I will have the oppurtunity to be creative. I will write, play music, think, and read. I will travel and talk to people. If only I could hold off doing these things until I get things with deadlines done. That is the tough part about life for me. I am a sucker for deadlines.

I don't know about that Econ micro or macro, I haven't had time to review them yet much at all. I haven't even started to learn macro. Whatever.

The Pacers won.Score 82-79.What this means. We only need to win our three home games to win the series. If nothing else, we should be able to win three home games. Of course, you'd also think we'd never lose by 20 to the Celtics. Pacer fans must help out. They must prove they are the best Sixth man in the League.Go ahead. Jump on the bandwagon.

Hey everybody, it is everyone's favorite hardcore kid, Jared. Bad news in the world today. I recently broke up with my girlfriend of two years, Ashley Peterson. Without going into a crazy amount of detail, we just needed to spend some time apart. Now I am dealing with my emo emotions coming back. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I am going crazy.

The Pacers have won again a great game. Tonight they handily beat the Pistons in Detroit and broke their 12 game home winning streak. Don't touch my Pacers. Welcome back, Dale. I think I'm going to go find my poster of you. Great game all of you guys. Keep showing up like that.

Bright Eyes may have won me over with Digital Ash, Digital Urn. Bright Eyes could never do the folksie thing for me and not make me want Ryan Adams instead, but with this electronica influenced CD, there is more than a bare guitar and bare, wobbly, weak, and exposed (in a bad way) voice. I like it. Congratulations Conor Oberst, Bright Eyes, you have won me over.So, I think I may buy that. And

I got up and went to school at 8:00A to participate in a track meet at IU. I forgot my spaghetti (snack/lunch/second breakfast/whatever), my water, and any other food that I might eat under dire circumstances. That probably contributed to my dismal performance. Around 2:40p I finally raced in heat 2 of (9-11) boys 1600m. I ran 5:05. That is plenty behind my goal of at least 4:50; I thought that I

This has been a kinda long week, which is not to say that it hasn't been good- It has. Life would be easier if life could get simpler. But I'm tired all the time from a stupid sinus infection (that surgery was supposed to cure) and all the other activities in which I participate.

Two good weekends in a row. Feels good - and I think its going to keep happening. Last weekend I hung out with Kristin and went to Brady's show and then Saturday caught up with old friend Josh.

Yesterday was the day. Although very cold and without pants (only shorts), I had my best run since before I had surgery. We set out to do a 50 minute out and back run where we would explore some trails that coach K had seen through satellite imagery. The course took us past Skilles Test and down to Fall Creek Parkway where we found the gated park. We ran through it and under I-465 and Shadeland,

One Semester of high school to go until I am done with the despicable system that teaches school and gets in the way of education. Senioritis has really set in. I did not study for my finals and I don't care what grade I got. I want the freedom that will come with college, more than socially. I look forward to becoming even more responsible for my learning.

The awards I value with most importance are my varsity letters in cross country and track. Because my school, as a perennial powerhouse in cross country and track, has high standards in athletics, my accomplishments based on hours of hard work are especially

Long time, no update, but I will be getting to it soon. For now I will just mention some of the things I may or may not mention then. In no particular order- finals, working at the Fishers YMCA!

The new year gets ready to begin. But before I move on, I want to sit and look back at this year. It's been great. I've been both a junior and a senior. I saw Damien Rice in concert and he hurt my eardrums. But I would pay double for it again. Probably triple. I saw John Mayer and Maroon 5. That was a great time. John can jam. Not to mention good company (for the three people who don't read this-

at least it would be if school were still in session. This morning I got up too late it seems. I took the snowblower down the street to make some money, only to find half of the houses had been shoveled already. Undaunted, I visited the remaining houses. No one wanted their driveway cleared. Either they were not home, or their husband was coming home in the next hour to do it. So much for making

Here is my surgery update. As you are certainly aware, Friday I missed school to have a deviated septum straightened. Today is Tuesday, five days post surgery and I am feeling pretty good. I am still experiencing headaches and nausea everyday, but the stuffy nose is getting better and my nose isn't hurting as much. I am also gaining energy. In my first several hours, my progress was huge. I
