SHEESH!!!!!
I went to my Bio professor's office hours today to look over my test and out of the 11 incorrect answers on my test, 6 were missed because I was going too fast and misread the problem! That is the difference between an 81 (after the 3 point curve) and a 93 (after the curve). So now, instead of going into the final needing a B to get an A in the course, I am mathematically eliminated from the POSSIBLITY of getting an A in Bio 111. I am stuck between a C and a B. I need a 45 on the final to get a C and I need an 85 to get a B... I would need a 125 to get an A. That's probably not going to happen since he won't let anyone get higher than a 104. :-..
There's always Bio 112 and now I know how this guy teaches and tests. :)

The last birthday of my 20's
Wow! Just writing that makes me wonder at how old I'm getting! WOW! I'm 29. I mentioned Bo Jackson in one of my classes last week and a classmate said, "Who?" Ouch!
How did I spend the final birthday of my 20's?
I woke up at 5:30 to beat the horrendous Atlanta traffic, and literally as soon as I turned off my alarm, I heard the water from the shower turn on. That meant that the 20 year old daughter of the family I live with was going to be in the shower for the next 20-30 minutes. So I decided to go back to sleep for another half hour. That half hour somehow took me to 10AM. So having missed my Biology class, I got up, showered and I got to school at about 11:30.
Once at school, I went to the library and spent about an hour on the phone with people from Sallie Mae and EFG (two educational loan lenders). There has been some trouble with my financial aid (I still haven't gotten it!), and I figured out why. EFG had been lazy and didn't check the national database to see that I was still in school and they began to expect payments. They didn't come (b/c I wasn't expecting to pay since I haven't graduated yet) and they reported me to the credit peeps saying that I had defaulted on their loan. Sallie Mae saw that and pulled my loan for this quarter. SO, I had to call EFG and inform them that they were on crack and I've been enrolled the whole time and I was not in default. They agreed, and they have faxed confirmation of that to Sallie Mae. I should get my check in about two weeks (halfway through the quarter). Basically, they made a mistake and I'm running on a paper trail for three weeks!
ANYWAY,
After that wonderful experience to begin my birthday, I went to my Bio lab at 1. I was encouraged in the lab because my microscopy skills are dramatically improving with experience. I had really seen that as a weak spot of mine and knowing that I'll be taking Histology next summer, I was a bit concerned. Anyway, after two thrilling hours of looking at slides on which we had to identify the different stages of mitosis in both plants & animals. I was ready to go.
Great News! No Algebra class!!!! WooHoo!!!!
I can go home and study for my Bio test tomorrow (Tuesday). I stopped by Napa to pick up some motor oil and when I got back out to my car it wouldn't start. An hour later, I have exhausted my knowledge of the internal combustion engine and the only thing I have accomplished is making my hands filthy. Gotta call AAA. OK, somebody tell me why AAA took until 7:45PM to get my car on a tow truck?! Are you serious? I'm spending 4 hours of my birthday stuck in a parking lot?
I got home and I was pretty frustrated. I laid down and continued praying, but now I was alone with God and I could really get intimate with Him. I was really desiring some encouragement and my brother called me. What he called to tell me was some of the most encouraging conversation that I have had in a LONG time. My brother really loves me and his wife and I are growing in relationship, and he was calling to really express to me how much his wife loves me. I tell you, when God introduced me to Chris, I felt like I had just met a part of me that I had been missing my whole life. I have a few people in my life that I really treasure, but God has done something special in my heart and Chris'. I'm serious, this was the brother I had wanted my whole life and it seems like a no-brainer, but it is still extremely humbling to me that the woman of God that was made for my brother has a heart for me too. She really loves me, the way a sister should and it is really encouraging. :)
While I was talking to Chris, a woman of God who I hadn't spoken to since July sent me an IM. After trying for a little while to have two conversations at once (BAD idea), I got off the phone with Chris. I spoke (IM'd, whatever) with her for about 4 hours (or until like 3:30AM). It was fun. I paid for it today when I woke up at 5:30AM and got ready for my test at 9AM.
WHEW!!!!
Long day, a lot happened. A lot of people sent me Happy Birthday wishes through different mediums: MySpace, IM, email, Ecard, phone call, voice mails, and I was sung to 3 times :) I am still waiting for the 4th song, hopefully I'll get it!
Anyway, thank you to all of you who sent your regards, well-wishes and love. I really appreciate it. :)

Atlanta (homesick)
Atlanta,
It's a very diverse city, which I like. It's nice to see so much diversity and from the looks of it, the diversity isn't huddled. It seems like a pretty good mix :)
It's a CRAZY city for traffic. I live 9 miles from school and if I don't leave before rush hour it'll take me over an hour to get there. Are you serious?! It's like the congestion of Northern Virginia with twice as many lanes!!!
It's very pretty scenery. Lots of rolling hills and Mountains in view as you drive around. Nice!
Having said all of that, I miss Richmond like CRAZY!!!!! I can't picture myself staying down here once I graduate.
All of my VA peeps, I love you and I miss you! Don't be a stranger!

For you Non-Football fans...
There have been a few people who've asked me to explain football to them recently, so I've decided to go ahead and post the different types of players in a football game, to help a little bit. Obviously, there is more to it than what I am writing here, but this should give you a good basic understanding of all the postions (I have left the kickers and punters off of this list)
Offense:
There are 5 guys whose job it is to protect the other players. They line up in front on the line where the ball is placed. Collectively they are called
Offensive Lineman - They are: (from left to right):
the Left Tackle, Left Guard, Center, Right Guard, Right Tackle. To begin an offensive play, the center snaps (gives) the ball to the quarterback - When the center moves the ball, that is when the defenders can cross the line.
Quarterback (Takes the ball from the center and is in charge of making everything work. He gets the ball to the "skill position players" - on running plays, he gives the ball to the running back and on passing plays, he passes it to the receivers)
Running back (runs the ball on running plays and either protects the quarterback or becomes a receiver on passing plays)
Fullback ( a second running back that is mostly used to block for the running back on running plays and protect the quarterback on passing plays, he can also be a receiver)
Wide Receivers AKA Flankers or Ends (They block on running plays and run specific patterns on passing plays that allows the quarterback to get them the ball. Their job is to run the route in a manner that allows them to be "open" meaning no defender can keep them from getting the ball and to catch it if it is thrown to them.)
Tight Ends (they are a cross between Wide Receivers and the linemen. They block on running plays like a lineman and they line up next to one of the tackles (either one). This is why they are called Tight Ends. Because they are "Ends" who are "Tight" or close to the linemen. On passing plays, they can stay next to the linemen to block or they can run patterns like the Wide Receivers
Defense:
There are only 4 different types of positions on defense, but they can line up A LOT of different ways. Here are the basics:
Facing the Offensive Line there are Defensive Linemen. These are really huge guys (like 270 lbs or more) that start the play bent over with at least one of their hands on the ground. Their job is to tackle whoever has the ball while keeping the offensive line from blocking the linebackers. Defensive Linemen are called one of two things:
Defensive Ends are lineman that start the play across from either an offensive tackle or a tight end
Defensive Tackles are linemen that start the play across from either an offensive guard or the center (sometimes they are called a Nose Tackle if they are across from the center)
The 2nd type of position on defense is Linebackers. They line up behind the defensive linemen and they try to tackle whoever has the ball on a running play and they cover (try to keep them from catching the ball) the running backs and tight ends on passing plays (normally from 240-270lbs). There are three types of linebackers:
Strongside Linebacker (or "Sam" Linebacker) Lines up on the side that the tight end is on and covers him on passing plays. This is normally the biggest of the linebackers.
Middle Linebacker (or "Mike" Linebacker) Lines up in the middle of the defensive line (but normally about 5 yards back) so that he can cover both sides of the field equally well. He is known as the quarterback of the defense because it is his job to communicate the plays (which are signaled in via special sign language from the coaches on the sideline) and make sure everyone is in the right position and knows their job. On passing plays, he normally covers one of the running backs
Weakside Linebacker (or "Will" Linebacker) Lines up on the side of the formation that does not have a tight end. This allows him to have to worry about one fewer blocker. He is normally the fastest of the three linebackers
The third type of position on defense is Cornerback. A cornerback is a small guy who runs really fast (like 190-220lbs) they mirror the Wide Receivers on passing plays and they try to tackle the runner on running plays
The fourth and final position on defense is Safety. Safeties are a cross between a cornerback and a linebacker. (like 220-240lbs) They line up in the middle of the field behind the linebackers. They try to tackle runners on running plays and cover Tight Ends, Receivers and Running Backs on passing plays. There are two types of safeties:
The Strong Safety lines up on the side that the tight end is on and is closer to the linebackers because he is more focused on the Tight End and helping to tackle runners.
The Free Safety lines up further back and is more concerned with being the "last line of defense" He does not attack runners as aggressively. If all of the other defenders miss the runner, it is his job to keep the runner from scoring. On passing plays, he tries to prevent long throws and assist the other defenders in covering the receivers.
Offense:
There are 5 guys whose job it is to protect the other players. They line up in front on the line where the ball is placed. Collectively they are called
Offensive Lineman - They are: (from left to right):

tired doesn't BEGIN to cover it.....
This past week has been very encouraging, very tiring and very scary. Encouraging because God has already honored my faith in this season of my life. Tiring because I have driven about 1300 miles in the last 5 days. Scary because I am moving out in faith and God isn't telling me what is going to happen... He just said, "Go" so I'm going.
As most of ya'll know, I am now a resident of Marietta, GA (where, apparently, "everything is betta" - according to an advertising slogan I heard). Getting from last Sunday to this Sunday was pretty serious:
My brother Chris and I had been talking for a couple of weeks about how we really wanted to see each other before I moved. Last Sunday I was talking about it with him again and looking at the resources God has given me to steward. I said, "Bro, if I can make $700 by Wednesday, I will come up there. If I can't, then I just won't be able to spend that money (for the trip) in faith." Meaning of course that I was putting my faith out there that God would allow me to make that amount and I could "justify" spending $100 for a two day trip to New Jersey.
Well, in the afternoon on Sunday, a sister blessed me with $150. I was REALLY encouraged! Then, Monday, I got an email from a guy who had been in a couple of classes with me at VCU. He wanted to get massage lessons from me, so that he could bless his mother and friends with good massages. We made plans to get together on Tuesday for the first 3 hours of the 6 that it takes for me to teach the full-body routine. Then I went to a massage appointment I had for that night. It was a 90 minute massage (that actually ran closer to two hours) and the client almost tripled what she would have been charged, as a gift to me (she "owed" me $110 and she gave me $300). Long story short (kinda): God came through with more money than I'd asked for and that allowed me to go up to New Jersey on Wednesday night. I left to come back to Richmond on Friday night and got in on Saturday morning. Saturday, I had to teach the other three hours of lessons and I saw a few more friends and said good-bye. I said good-bye to my sister and I drove down to ATL. I got here about 8:45 AM and service at the Father's House begins at 10, so I just went straight there. Service went until about 2 and then they had a reception/birthday party for Bishop Boone (58 today). SO, I got to Marietta about 3:30PM and I shopped the prices for hotels for a little while until I decided on La Quinta.
SOOOOOO, by faith, I have travelled back and forth to New Jersey and I moved to Atlanta, knowing nothing except that God wants me to go to Chiropractic school at Life University. 5 days and 1300 miles later, I am sitting here exhausted, getting ready to go to bed. La Quinta is my home until next Sunday. I wonder what will happen this week? I'm going to get some stuff done tomorrow and start looking for a job and a place to live on a more permanent basis. :)
Agape,
Joe

Deep Thoughts, by Jack Handey
Hey,
I don't know if ya'll remember these, but they used to show two or three of these "Deep thoughts" every episode of Saturday Night Live. I saw that my natural sister had a book of them. Here are some of the funnier ones.
DISCLAIMER: some of these are VERY stupid, some of them are EXTREMELY random and the rest are just WRONG! But, hopefully, you'll find some of them a bit funny
******* The face of a child can say it all... especially the mouth part of the face
******* It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man
******* If you ever fall off of the Sears Tower, just go really limp. Maybe you'll look like a dummy and someone will try to catch you because, "Hey, free dummy"
******* To me, boxing is like ballet, except there's not really any dancing... and there's no choreography... and the dancers hit each other
******* If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all of the time for no good reason
******* Better not take your dog on the space shuttle. If he sticks his head out the window on the way back home, his face might burn up
******* To me, clowns aren't funny. If fact they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.
******* I'd like to see a nude opera, because when they hit those high notes, I bet you can really see it in those genitals
******* If you ever teach a yodeling class, probably the hardest part is keeping the students from trying to yodel right off. You see we BUILD to that.
******* Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful flamingo flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a rose in his beak... and he's carrying a beautiful painting with his feet... and you're drunk.
******* Of all my uncles, I think I liked Uncle Caveman the best. We called him Uncle Caveman because he lived in a cave and because sometimes, he'd eat one of us. Later on we found out he was a bear.
******* Anytime I see something screech across the room and latch on to someone's neck and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what IS that thing?!
******* In weightlifting, I don't think sudden, uncontrolled urination should automatically disqualify you.
******* The memories of my family outings are still a source of strength to me. I remember we'd all pile into the car - I forget what kind it was - and drive and drive. I'm not sure where we'd go, but I think there were some trees there. The smell of something was strong in the air as we played whatever sport we played. I remember a bigger, older guy we called "Dad." We'd eat some stuff, or not, and then I think we went home. I guess some things never leave you.
******* Blow ye winds, like the trumpet blows, but without all that noise.
******* I wish a robot would get elected President. That way, when he came to town, everyone could take a shot at him and not feel too bad.
******* If you go parachuting and your parachute doesn't open, and all your friends are watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you're swimming.
******* I think when the age of the Vikings came to a close, they must have sensed it. Probably, they gathered together one evening and slapped each other on the back and said, "Hey, good job."
******* Sometimes, when I feel like killing someone, I do this little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A Jack-O-Lantern with a knife in the side of its head with a note that says, "You." After that I usually feel a lot better and no harm done.
******* I wish I had a Kryptonite cross because then you could keep Dracula AND Superman away
******* Too bad you can't grab a tree by its tiptop and bend it over to the ground and then let her fly, because I bet you'd be amazed at all the stuff that comes flying out.
******* If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one do you think liked dolphins more? I'd say Flippy wouldn't you? You'd be wrong though. It's Hambone.
******* Laurie got offended that I used the word "puke." But to me, that's what her dinner tasted like.
******* If you're in a boxing match, try not to let the other guy's glove touch your lips, because you don't know where his glove has been.
******* It's too bad whole families have to be torn apart by something as simple as wild dogs.
******* My wife, Marta, says that the interesting thing about fly fishing is that it's two lives connected by one thin strand. Come on Marta, grow up!
******* The old pool shooter had won many a game in his time, but now it was time to hang up his cue. When he did, all the other cues came crashing down. "Sorry," he said with a smile.
******* Even though he was an enemy of mine, I had to admit that what he had accomplished was a brilliant piece of strategy. First, he punched me. Then he kicked me, then he punched me again.
******* The sound of fresh rain run-off splashing from the roof reminded me of the sound of urine splashing into a filthy Texaco latrine
******* When you go on a job interview, I think a good thing to ask is if they ever press charges
******* You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but is really sad on the inside. Also, he has severe diarrhea.
******* As the evening faded from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I thought back to the salmon I caught this morning, and how gray he was, and how I named him Flint
******* If the vikings were around today, I think they would probably be amazed at how much glow-in-the-dark stuff we have, and how we take so much of it for granted
******* Sometimes I think the whole world has gone mad. Then I think, "Aww, who cares?" Then I think, "Hey, what's for dinner?"
******* I can see why it would be prohibited to throw most things off the top of the Empire State Building, but what's wrong with little bits of cheese? They probably break down into their various gases before they even hit.
*******It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was running to go fight in another fight, away from the first fight.
******* I hope, if dogs ever take over the world and they choose a king, they don't just go by size. I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas.
******* Instead of having "answers" on math tests, I think they should have "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what? Can't we all be brothers?
******* Probably to a shark, about the funniest thing there is is a wounded seal, trying to swim to shore, because "Where does he think he's going?!"
******* If God dwells inside of us, like some people say, I sure hope He likes enchiladas, because that's what He's getting!
(Stay tuned for a blog talking about that last one....)
