We left around 9:00 to head back to our dorm. When we were about to cross the street by the Ferg a car pulled up, so we stopped to let the car go.The car stopped at the cross walk, and a guy in the back seat leaned out the window and threw a balloon at us. It was a water balloon, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't filled with water. The balloon Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-18547949302258009202008-05-05T14:23:00.000-07:002008-05-05T14:59:51.703-07:00StressWell I'm sure all of y'all are studying now for exams and it sucks. Alot of people at this time of the semester feel they need a little help studying and turn to drugs like adderall to help them out.Well last night I had a pretty interesting experience. A good friend of mine from high school studied all weekend, but wanted to do more so she took an adderall. Nine hours of vomiting later she Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-69712963436134332362008-04-29T12:25:00.000-07:002008-04-29T12:39:01.883-07:00ChurchOne of the easiest transitions I made my freshman year was attending a new church. I am Roman Catholic and try to go to mass every week. Back home my church is very large and holds a significant portion of my city it seems!Church here is very different. I go to St. Francis of Assisi. For the first time I am no longer attending mass with the priest who baptized me. As much as I enjoy the personal Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-9416869741882328072008-04-28T21:59:00.000-07:002008-05-06T16:06:17.240-07:00Housingin Tuscaloosa sucks. Right now I'm signed up to live in Lakeside East next year, but I'm not looking forward to it. I shouldn't complain because these dorms are alot better than some of the others, but the price is just way too high. When I first told a friend of mine going to Auburn what I paid for my dorm each semester he thought that was the price for the full year....I'm looking at getting anEvanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-57966854161195899062008-04-23T12:53:00.000-07:002008-04-23T13:27:28.277-07:00Campus WildlifeI'm really into animals and stuff so I like to walk around campus and keep an eye out for wildlife. One thing about Alabama I like is there is so much open space and places for animals to hide and live on campus. The ponds are pretty cool too. For anyone who isn't familiar, there is a pond behind Lakeside Diner and there is also a pond between Ten Hoor and B.B. Comer. The pond at Lakeside has 8 Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-12437901539173798872008-04-23T12:18:00.000-07:002008-04-23T12:34:53.475-07:00ORGANIC MILK?A year or so ago when the Panera opened up in my home town I had Horizon's Organic Milk for the first time. I was pretty surprised at how good it was, I guess I had always thought of organic foods as being inferior to regular foods.A couple of weeks ago I was doing some grocery shopping and stumbled across this milk. I had only had it in the little cartons before. It is expensive compared to Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-29880758489429099232008-04-19T19:46:00.000-07:002008-04-20T14:00:30.103-07:00PLANTEDWell I made the mistake of mentioning maybe starting a vegetable garden today in front of my aunt and mother. Before I knew it we were headed to Old Time Feed, the local seed, feed, and plant shop. We had no idea what to plant and after what seemed like, and possibly was, hours at the store, we finally picked out some young plants and seeds and went home. I had picked out a 6x20 foot area for Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-36197006319227750462008-04-04T13:23:00.000-07:002008-04-19T15:36:22.140-07:00Growing some food....Ever since we started reading about this local food stuff I have been trying to think of a way to provide some of my own food. My first thought was creating a garden in the back yard of my house, even though it's pretty small. But I don't really know what I would grow. To be honest I don't like vegetables that much. The one vegetable I could really see my family growing and enjoying would be Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-28233754804264505422008-03-31T17:58:00.000-07:002008-04-03T14:25:13.803-07:00ExploringI was bored the other day so a friend and I ventured across the river to just see what was there. After checking out Alabama Outdoors, we followed the signs to Deerlick Creek Park. On the way there we passed what seemed to be a dam that I'm sure has something to do with that Hydro Electric Plant that is nearby. I had never seen a dam before and it was kinda cool to see where our electricity comesEvanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-6811544272715763592008-03-21T22:16:00.001-07:002008-04-03T14:58:49.798-07:00Local colorI know I suck but here are some I took from the other day....Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-90219631692426240882008-03-19T23:41:00.000-07:002008-03-19T23:49:42.035-07:00Local HistoryI really don't have anything to say but I got a new camera and went to a grave yard in my city I had passed almost daily but never been to.

The kind of local where you see your food living that morning and by supper time its in your belly. I went squirrel hunting for the fourth or fifth time this year (in my whole life actually), but this hunting trip was different because I actually saw some squirrels. When people asked me how my weekend was and what I did they usually had prettyEvanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-33843886710886862222008-02-18T20:08:00.000-08:002008-02-19T16:50:52.298-08:00guns&whatnot
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to go to a local shooting range with my room mate. I brought along my Cz75B in 9mm, Ruger 10-22, and Remington 870 12 gauge. My room mate had no firearms experience to speak of, but wants to be a police officer of some sort so I thought he would enjoy it.I was right. We had a great time shooting the 9mm and shotgun, and then, when we were shooting the puny Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5906463118543875412.post-77329265807665824172008-02-18T19:44:00.000-08:002008-02-18T20:07:18.610-08:00A LEGENDPaul "Bear" Bryant was a fantastic football coach. He has gone down in history as the "winningest" college football coach of all time. But looking around the Paul W. Bryant Museum at Alabama it is easy to see that Bryant is more than just a coach.To many here at Alabama, he is a god. Fans of the Tide are constantly looking around for the next Bear.

When I was about 4 my family moved to Daphne. Daphne is a small city now, 14 years ago it seemed more like a small town.When I think of local, I think not so much of a set distance around me, but rather the people and places I am familiar with. I think of Mobile as being local to me. I know people and and places Evanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07116369184021985147noreply@blogger.com1
