Private Investigation

Tuesday afternoon, I need some food in my belly, I need to pay bills, and I need to get to class. So, once again, I have very little time to update. But let me tell you a story during this time.

We always like to be in the background of random pictures, just hanging out, doing whatever. It's good fun for the people taking the pictures, because if they're like me, then they enjoy looking around in the background of their pictures to see what else was going on as their picture was being taken. However, we don't normally get to see the fruits of our labor. At the basketball game Wednesday night however, I let Clinton know that we were going to be in the background of the pictures being taken in front of us and then we were going to locate them on Facebook. Later on, I heard the word "Facebook" uttered by on of the students in front of us and I knew our plan was possible. On Sunday, after a little investigating, our plans came through and we achieved our goals. We found the names of the strangers that were sitting in front of us and that led us straight to our photos. I found several pictures of us in these people's pictures, but none of them more clearly illustrates our desire as this one:























Check me over their shoulders. Intense part of the game..? Nope, look at the faces of everyone else in the crowd besides me.

Sorry if you don't like my story, I'm not sure if many would. But I was impressed. Have a good week, see ya next time.

One Semester to Go

I'm graduating. It's official. My prof from last semester finally put my grade through, called me during my nap and informed me I recieved an A and she sent out the paperwork to the registrar yesterday (the day before my degree audit was due) so I was able today to look at my final grades for the semester (4.0 baby) and apply for graduation. And now I recieved an email entitled "Preparing for Graduation." Whoa...

Meanwhile I'm pretty busy living the life of a college student. With a hectic work/school schedule, it's good that two of my classes are Kineseology. Soccer is pretty much my favorite class of all time (I was straight MVP this week), it's a good morale booster to have a KINE class so you can realize that you're not that out of shape compared to some people... Also, my Snow Skiing class is a good time to practice for other activities, such as shredding down the stairwell outside my apartment on an ironing board. It doesn't get anymore "college student" than that. Pictures coming soon.

I had my first growth group of the semester last night. We met at Chicken Express, probably the best place to have a bible study other than a church. And even churches don't have free refills... Coach Gillispie dropped by to purchase a gallon of Chicken Express tea. We greeted him and wished him luck this weekend. Cool guy, still my favorite coach on campus.

And remember the final semester of FMBWC is in full swing. We're meeting at 7AM at Sbisa on Fridays. Don't miss out. Cause once it's over, that's it...

That's all I got for now. I'll be back in action next week, count on it. Until then, a shout out to all my undercover readers, it's ok, leave me a message on here. No one will judge you. That goes for you too Bro. Tim...

Slow Motion

It hasn't been quite a week yet since my last post, hopefully I'll be able to write something longer tomorrow. As for right now, I'm rushed off to Snow Skiing, but first I'm going to grab some scrumptious cajun food from Hebert's... I think I'll go for the jambalaya today. I just decided right now. So y'all are the first to know, a little gift for being so patient with me. Updates are coming. I promise.

An Oldie

Yeah, once again I'll use the excuse that I'm still trying to get into the swing of things. It's 4:50, so I have 10 Minutes left at work, so all you'll get from me is this:

Spring Break 2004

I was reminded of this yesterday (I went snow skiing on Mount Aggie yesterday), I read through it for the first time since writing it. I noticed lots of typos... I wonder what I can do about it. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. So here you go, enjoy some Classic Chris in my abscence.

Catching my breath

Yeah, yeah, I'm still alive. Yesterday was my last first day of school of my life. I'm going strong, just gotta get into the swing of things and I'll be updating more. I promise.

And Happy Birthday Zachary.

Peace...Like a river.

The Look of Humiliation

I made a discovery yesterday. It turns out that some coworkers from across campus were at the basketball game in which I competed in a halftime event. Well, I knew someone was there, as shouts "Yeah! CIS!" rung from the crowd, I just didn't know who exactly it was as I couldn't find their faces in the crowd. I'd been trying to figure it out over the past couple of weeks. And finally, the payoff. I found out today that it was some people over in Cain (SIMS) and they shared with me some pictures that they took that night. Let me set the scene for you. I was called from the crowd and asked to be in a bike race. Well, they brought out my competition (a 7 year old) and his bike (small tricycle). They decided to pair me up with an even smaller bicycle (if I can even call it that, it would be better compared to a roller skate.) Whatever. I was beaten handily, barely able to stay on and almost falling on my face numerous times. Once I reached the finish line, some of his little friends were waiting to heckle me. I got back to my seats and sent Penny a text message to let her know that her boyfriend had been "embarassed by a 7 year old." All the spectators agreed that it was a ridiculous request of them to ask me to ride that thing... But what could I do. And now the discovered pictures:


















This bike is approximately the size of my shoe...lace.


















Me struggling, the kid firmly planted on a seat thinking he's a
stud. Let's see him get in the Sumo Soccer Ring with me...


















Humiliating College Students. That's what Halftime is all about....

Few and Far Between

That's how my blogs have been. I haven't been very consistant on blogging, but we've actually been pretty consistantly busy at work. Plus not a whole lot has been going on. I had the day off yesterday and will be off Thursday and Friday too. So what, I'm a bum? But this bum has to be in Corpus to get his teeth fixed at the end of this weekend.

Let's see, what else have I been up to? Roadtrip to Lousiana, hanging out in the A&M Consolidated Press Box, and playing some non-contact sports like volleyball. Overall it's been a pretty busy break, but I've had time just to kick it and relax at home. I like it. I've been looking at my schedule for next semester though and it's going to be hectic and pretty crazy. I'm going to have to reschedule my growth groups as I have a class from 5:30-8:00PM on Tuesdays that directly interferes with GGs. Who has a manditory class that is only offered at that time? People that want to make my life stressful. It's my last semester though, so I'd better enjoy it, eh?

In other news, my Panthers tore up the Giants. Which means they'll be facing off against Ben's Chicago Bears. Carolina has always been a fun team to watch. They've been a team that's played with real heart and a rabid defense. This is the first time they've really had a acclaimed playmaker (Steve Smith). They've had to come from being practically unknowns (even after playing in the super bowl 2 years ago) to a threatening playoff team. Watch 'em, you'll enjoy it.

Also, the Aggies are faring pretty well in basketball (both men's and women's) with conference play starting. Another team with a lot of heart that is a lot of fun to watch. Hopefully they'll be just as threatening.

Lastly, we just got back from Bennigans to partake in some Time Crunch Lunch. Time Crunch Lunch promises food in 15 minutes or your meal is free on the next visit. It took over 18 1/2 minutes to recieve our food, it wasn't our waiter's fault. Still he refused to give us the free coupons. Oh well, we let it slide. Nick's not such a bad kid, he gave us potato soup to soothe us.

Keepin' At It

With my new pillowtop matress cover, my bed is even harder to get out of in the morning. One of your most important investments is your bed. You'll spend most of your time there and it's a very important part of your life. Don't skimp.

I had to call into the dentist today to make an appointment for a checkup on my busted up teeth. They're progressing well, but the dentist still requests that I come in. I decided that Friday the 13th would be a good day for a dentist appointment. So it seems I'll be driving 4 hours for a check-up. It's all good though. One last trip back home before school starts, and one more trip to Fermins.

But now I'm sitting at work, I guess it's about lunchtime. I'm glad because this decaffinated tea tastes like cigarettes... Who buys decaffinated tea anyway? What's the point?

Guess Who's Back

Oh goodness. It's been a while since I posted, but with "0 Comments" not many have seemed to notice. But as my Buddy List fills back up and people begin to return, I imagine it's time to get back in the swing of things. Christmas is always my favorite holiday. Whether it's snowing or 80 degrees (quite a contrast from last year). I enjoyed the time in Corpus, my family, and the rest I got. But now I'm back in College Station. All is quiet. College Station without the students is wonderful. It's 2006 now. That's the same year that is displayed on my ring. Which means the inevitable is fast approaching, my graduation followed by the unknown.

Also fast approaching is lunch, which to me is unknown as well... I hope I find something to eat.

Also, work is completely interfering with the bowl schedule. How am I supposed to watch the Cotton Bowl if I'm stuck here with no cable tv?
