Life Of Bissell (aka Jude)

Yes, it is true. Bissell/Jude now has a life, well, maybe. I've been stuck in this horrible routine of homework that has come to rule my life for the past semester. Some things are beginning to slow down a bit, giving me those precious hours of my life back to be given to the oh-so-good hobby of bumming and hangin out with the boys. Today was Grandparent's Day at Taylor (horrible timing since I had a paper due which had not been completed) and so I had my usual nap after my 8 o'clock till lunch at 11. Although, my grandparents were already here and I had no way to call them, so they eventually called the dorm and I met them in the Dinning Commons (DC). Had a lil chat then sat with them since I had already eaten earlier and eventually made it to my room to show them Bissell's Love Shack as it's affectionately known. Then we parted ways so I could finish my paper (and another paper due I had forgotten about) and they toured the campus. After class, I headed on over to Rediger for the concert w/ them which was ok, but they didn't really care for it. Afterwards we headed to Cracker Barrel where Jess (a girl on the 4th floor of my dorm) saved my hide by creating conversation with them since I have absolutely nothing to talk to them about beside the happens of Plainfield, IN (nothing). Gotta love Jess...and then I came back to hang out with Clog, Bobby, Blake, Carty and Diesel over at Jere/Clog's house watching the Pistons/76ers game (76ers won) which was a great relaxation from my usual lack of fun on Friday nights as I'm probably coding or writing a paper.

On other parts of my life...a girl named Jen (no physical attraction here) but she's great fun to debate with. Unfortunately, she's a lesbian, so needless to say that issue is hotly debated, but somehow she's open to my opinion as I am to hers. Who'da thunk it? I like liberals though, they always have a passion for what the believe, however wrong and misguided it may be;). The main problem with me is her self proclaimed Christianity (however ambiguous it is). This subject will have to be covered in here sometime...but not right now. Ash...you and me homes...one day I will get you to go toe to toe with your Repub. friend haha. To be honest, I feel a bit disenfranchised by the Republicans for their 'being whipped' by big business, however, I'd rather be caught dead than vote for a Democrat, no offense. This nation needs a new party, a conservative Christian party dedicated to the common man (at least middle class) and rely on the masses to push them into power instead of corporate funding because where in the Constitution did it say that "We the Corporations of the United States,..."? The only reason downloading music is illegal is because the Republicans AND Democrats have been bought by the record execs...can I get an amen? Enough with that rambling...but I feel as though the Democrats are hypocrites for arguing for abortion while at the same time they argue for the abolishment of the death penalty, murder babies and let murders go? No...at least the Republicans make SOME sense, but still hypocritical by supporting the "right to life" while we strip that right from our fallen brothers (sinners). Both should end, although, I believe the death penalty should be enforced until a suitable hard labor alternative arises for death row inmates to make their lives as hard as possibly w/o killing them, but leaving the door open for correcting mistakes made by the courts. Anybody with me?

That's it for tonight, but I'll be back with enough theology for you later. God bless.

Bon Voyage

My first official blog is April 29th at 12:05am Indiana Time (hopefully DST in a few months once our State Legislature gets it's act together), but there will be many more hopefully in the months (maybe years) to come. God bless America and the Starbucks Frappaccino. ;)
