why do people blog?????????? it seems to me that blogging is just a way for people to say heyyyy look at me and pay attention to all i have to say that is useless and redundant. just look at me..... ok jesus loves you...yes we know!! and things happen in your life...thats cool...so why write about it?...i think for some, they can truly say that its a way to express themselves in a way that isnt like any other: through their writting and not through theirs words....but for most dare i say it?? i feel its screams hey looook at me, pay attention to me, i have a need to sayyy some thing to "epress" my feelings and everyone to see them and comment and..... just look at me ok!!........if i were one who truly uses this form of expression to put my thoughts and ideas in writing, then i would truly be a little angry at these phony "bloggers". they simply just dumb down the truly beautiful essence of the expression that is an art form for some people.

i guess you could rebuke this statement bc what i wrote sounds exactly like the thing i wrote against; and that very well may be so, but what it also may be is that this is a scarce occasion for me to write and when i do write its not usually something youve wasted your time reading.

man on the corner

oops there goes that stop sign that i think i saw but lets just say i didn't

as a man on the street corner harasses young girls
a close friend of mine is getting a ticket for rolling through a stop sign

Its kind of ironic right?

instead of focusing on something that would seem way more pertinent
something so obvious that the man followed the girls into the street

the cop writes out a ticket for 120 some odd dollars
none the less to a kid who could be doing much worse things

its ok his mom probably thinks he is out smoking or having sex
because if nothing else she has to cure her own boredom
and blame someone else for her unhappiness

At least the girls are ok and they didn't get a ticket for not being buckled

and, why wasn't there anything said to the cop about the man on the corner

something like, "excuse me sir, maybe instead of sitting on your ass
waiting for someone such as myself to roll through a stop sign,
you should take a peek around the corner and see the man
that constantly terrorizes women on the street!"

there is no justice in this! screw our criminal justice system

the man probably made as much money begging on the streets
as it is going to cost to pay that ticket the cop wrote

you know its a wonder to me that there is an astronomically greater
enforcement on traffic laws than there is on hucksters of harassment

well at least the mom in this situation gets her theory published
-the son was doing something wrong - got a ticket and probably was high when running the stop sign after having sex-

i wonder what the mom of the man on the corner thinks of her son??

what is it called when you long to remain in bed?

as you lay there it seems as if your bed is a pool
a pool of quick sand
and no matter how hard you try you cant escape its downward pull
its a good thing really
especially if you get to remain in that state
by some stroke of luck

if your luck is anything like mine
you are probably unsuccessful more times than not
and once you are up
it seems as if there is absolutely no way you will make it to that eight o clock class

if you don't shower
will you see that girl that always catches your eye?
or could you care less like myself
bc the way i see it is if you don't like it you cant have it

anyways i kinda got lost in my question
so whats it called when your desire is to stay in bed?

i think its called a number of things
laziness, late nights, its to cold,
or maybe sometime in the future
its that special someone that is laying next to you

what ever you would like to call it
for me its all of these reasons

Am i lazy?
just a little

late nights?
more like early mornings

and to cold?
maybe once im in Boone

And some day in the future when im married some lady lover will be next to me
or let us atleast hope so

But all in all it eventually boils down to having to get up and continue on with your everyday life.

whatever that means


Sincerely,

just a thought

Who knew that Jacob Street would be blogging? Thanks to two lovely girls it now seems that I am going to be consumed by this new fad. Speaking of two lovely girls I figure that I would dedicate my first post to them.
My url Oneway_st was meant to symbolize the long road taken to Boone, NC. For those of you who do not know my story it has been my desire to be at Appalachian over the past five years of my life. Needless to say i did not attend this school for my first semester of college. Think of something you want really bad for five years but not being obtain it. I know get over it right? Wrong it happened for a reason......
It wasn't because I didn't have good grades, SAT scores, or GPA requirements, but because someone wanted me to see what real friends ,or even better, the sweetest most caring young women in the world were capable of doing.
Starting my first week at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro was not something I was looking forward to. You could even say I was dreading it. Then they "re-entered" my life in a different setting other than high school and I was not ready for what they were about to do.
It started with once-a-week dinner dates -which are the best by they way- that were shortly followed by a movie. Many date nights later I find my self sitting in their dorm at 12 o clock! I guess you could say I really Enjoy being around them. -I hope they enjoy me : *
It is because of these two ladies that leaving next semester will be so hard. We have been through things like face plants out of our chairs to eating a whole tube of "Sunny Seed Drops" (Chocolate Sunflower Nuts) to drinking many cups of hot chocolate and Starbucks. All of which will be memories greatly missed when I venture up to App; but cherished deeply.
One girls friendship that continued to grow from, out of the depth that it was in high school, has the ability to make you laugh by telling the worst jokes known to man or simply by falling out of her chair. This fits perfectly with her ability to witness to whoever she comes across. Even with two people very different from herself, she was able to show God's love to Razz and Jared by inviting them to play Uno Attack with us without giving it any thought. Your blond fro and love for God along with his people will be something I will take with me as I hike up to App. Thanks for always being there for me.
The other girl, who is much more reserved at first glance, actually has a personality that ,with a little encouragement, will run up and down the hall sliding on her socks and even on occasion run around in Target with Halloween costumes on. From her past this girl has wisdom that only she can fully understand, however I believe that the Will of God will use her in ways only he knows. Your unique personality and the intimate presence it demands allows one to actually take the time to understand you as a woman of God. Thanks for who you are.
Who knew two people could change someones life in such a way, that it would take a place once hated and make it into one that I am dreading to leave.
