Im back...no this time im serious

Long time no post. I was pleased to meet many of the fans of this blogs at the triplet's birthday party last saturday. However, I also felt pretty bad when three of you told me that you check my blog everyday for new stuff. Well I'm back for good so keep checking and I will do my best to stay on top of this thing.

So what's been going on with you lately scotty?

1. I am DONE WITH JUNIOR YEAR!!!!!!!!!!! I cant possibly explain that feeling. Luckily, most of you understand that pure bliss I am speaking of.

2. I have shaved my head for the summer.


Before



After

3. I am well into applying for college already. It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be (so far)

ok with that said, let's get down to bussiness. THE SONG OF THE DAY. Today's song is by a southern rock band called Halfway to Hazzard. The name of the song in the "Devil and the Cross". This song is basically the parable of the prodigal son put to music. This band is NOT Christian. But this song still has something for everyone. We all struggle between the Devil and the Cross. Ask yourself this as you listen. Which side wins in your life. And more importantly, how easy do you make it for that side to win. are you a product of your enviorment (the world) or a product of HIS enviorment?

"Devil and the Cross"
I remember Daddy held the Bible like a gun
Back when I was a Pentacostal gospel preacher's son
And I still can see the fire and brimstone in his eyes
When he preached to people in a tent
Repent before you die

Pre Chorus

Me, I'd sneak out back with some saint-less, Southern girl
And there I'd teach her the ways of this world

Chorus

(Well) I guess I was 'a way too wild
To be the child of a preacher man
One foot on a solid rock
(And) (With) one on (the) (that) sinkin' sand
Just like the prodigal son
I guess I got way too lost
Livin' somewhere in between the devil and the cross
(Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa ho)

2nd Verse

I was Daddy's worst nightmare
By the time I turned eighteen
Baptized in a whiskey river
On the streets of New Orleans
Where the demons, drugs, and rock and roll
They seemed to clog my mind
And women were a weakness
For weeks at a time

Pre Chorus

I learned the hard way
What you reap is what you sew
So in silent desperation
One night I headed home

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Daddy did more than talk the talk
He walked the walk in life
He loved me and forgave me
When I came home that night
He said, 'Son, don't ever be ashamed
For God forgives the lost
We all live somewhere in between the devil and the cross'

Im back

What's good people! Sorry I haven't had time to post in the past few days. Spring football is well underway which means so is my senior year. What a scary thought! Football has been one of the major loves of my life since I can remember. I have been playing ball since 6th grade and will not be playing in college. That means my days of strapping on a helmet and shoulder pads are numbered. My team has always been like a family to me. We have laughed together, cried together, and done a lot of bleeding and sweating together. We have gone from a 3-7 team to a 9-3 region championship team in three years. We have won games that noone said we could and lost a game or two the we knew we were sure we would win. But what have we done more so than anything else? we have grown together. I can honestly say that I have 60 brothers. I can stand next to any member of my team and tell you without a doubt that they will kill them selves for the sake of the team. No pain is too intences, No practice is too hard, No team is too big, No odds are too stacked for our boys to handle. FOOTBALL IS ON THE HORIZON!!!!!!!!!!! BOY I CAN"T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting...and waiting

So I am here in the land of the Triplets staying with JMOM for the night. I came here strait from work today and I ended up having a lot of time to burn. As I pulled up around 145 I realized that Jmom and crew weren't home. That was ok, I thought, I'll just play with their fearless gaurd dog, Hayley. Ummm, yea, that didn't happen. It turns out Hayley isn't so fearless. She wouldn't even come out of her cage in the garage. I sat there in front of her cage for thirty minutes having a long intense counseling session with her about why she was so scared to come out when her mommy and daddy weren't there. Unfortunately, we came to no conclusion.
So I finally gave up on the dog and decided to go grab a Frisbee and play some Frisbee golf in the next door neighbors huge yard. I got in my car and headed over to k-mart. I found a good Frisbee that I liked and took it up to the front...only to find that I had no money.
Ok so after plan B and C flopped. I went back to the house (which was STILL empty) and decided to just sleep in the car because by that time I was EXHAUSTED. So I put my drivers seat all the way back and closed my eyes...and THEN they pulled up!
So now i sit here, at 4 o'clock, two hours later, telling you my story. But it's ok, I am here with my favorite cousins in the world and that is definitely worth the wait.
