I thought it was good &#8211; even if it was Damon.  I guess I like the guy now.. I&#8217;ll have to work on that- I think seeing him in Pinstripes will do the trick.<\/p>\n<p>Blazers have been losing&#8230; badly&#8230; to everyone.  An example of that is being beat by the Phoenix Suns (2 weeks ago?  in Phoenix) by 45 points.  And by no means is Phoenix the same team they were a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>In a few days I will be boarding a plane and visiting my people in Arizona.  It should be good, I get to get&#8230; a lot of things figured out.  Funny how it will take place in Arizona (ironic) but that&#8217;s life.  Then I return and start school back up &#8211; with Tara flying home with me.  (The seat next to me on the return flight)<\/p>\n<p>During school this semester I pulled my Cum. GPA up to  2.99 and my semester GPA was 3.1 so that&#8217;s not too bad.  I could have probably gotten better in a few classes, but they bored the heck out of me.  This next semester is a tell tale.  I have to take Math (everybody goes Awww, and then sighs) and I am no good at math.  At all.  So I hope to get a C in that class, any better is just a sweeter topping.  I also have a Communications class where I have lots of presentations.  (everybody gasps and acts scared) Yeah, that means I&#8217;ll get getting up in front of everyone and doing presentations.  (BOO &#8211; Calm down people its okay)  Other than that I should be fine.<\/p>\n<p>Well I might not be able to email anyone or update this for a while, because yes.. my laptop has been acting up again and I&#8217;m not sure I am even going to take it to Phoenix &#8211; rather I think I will leave with HP and hope that the problem is finally fixed when I come back from my trip.<\/p>\n<p>Merry New Year, Happy Christmas.<\/p>\n<p>Uhm&#8230; that doesn&#8217;t sound right.<\/p>\n<p>Merry Christmas, Happy New Year \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Reflect on all the things God has blessed you with throughout the year, through hardships and through the good times, you have your health (many of you) and even if you don&#8217;t.. you have your life to live.. and so much to be thankful for.<\/p>\n<p>Updated : http:\/\/www.jshox.com\/music.html<\/p>\n<p>Take care, God Bless<\/p>\n<p>Ciao<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yo yo yo, Uhm.. a new way to start a post \ud83d\ude42 so the last few days have been kinda crazy.
