I finished the season 13-3 with nearly 2000 points scored. I won the championship game 161.81 - 103.95 It feels good to be a champion! 2008-12-29 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=608445 See more funny videos and Technology Videos at Today's Big Thing. 2008-12-11 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=607489 I've think I've felt like that for 3 years. I've got some reorganization to do, because what's being done isn't working. Still working on finding where I fit in this world. Finals have me frustrated I guess. It's times like these that make the profession of hobo seem alluring. Bah. Humbug. I need some sleep 2008-12-09 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=598679 We're having a gospel meeting with Steve Fontenot from Humble. It is going quite well. Sometimes I feel like all meetings are the same, with the same basic lessons over the same basic topics. Brother Fontenot has broken the mold to some extent, as I have either learned something new or heard something related in a different way every service so far this week. He's done a very good job. Anyway, this Friday I also get my ring! I'm fairly excited and can't wait to put that thing on my hand. Growing up, I always looked at my Daddy's ring with awe and pride. To me, the Aggie Ring is more than just a hunk of beautiful gold, but a rite of passage into adulthood. Just as an idea of how much I've wanted one, my first week here in College Station, as a freshman, I had a dream about getting my ring. 3 years later, my dream is coming true! I'd like to thank my mom and dad for all of their support over the years. I certainly can use a lot more, but they have certainly gone ABOVE and BEYOND wha... 2008-11-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=593746 ...for Obama. I just feel he represents my views so much better than all the other candidates. Especially -Abortion rights -Leaving Iraq -Taxing successful people -etc. What a good man I'll give a real update sometime soon. I've just been lazy lately. Love you (Bleeding Heart) Aggieman 2008-10-31 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=582778 I guess everyone in the world needs to know a little about me so I don't mind doing a public service. 8 Facts about Josh 1. I am one of the shyest people you know...and I used to be so much worse...but I've learned over the last 4-5 years how to somewhat overcome it. 2. I've passed out twice in my life, both because I skipped a previous meal (1st time= after band practice because I skipped lunch, 2nd time= when I woke up after skipping dinner...neither were fun experiences--although somewhat mind boggling) 3. I am a recovering video game addict...as of today it has been 2 days since I've played some type of video game (I imagine the streak will end soon...I am recovering...not fully healed) 4. I was the co-captain of my 4A Varsity Tennis Team in high school my Senior year...just goes to show you my extreme athleticism...on the same point, I enjoy playing football and baseball as well and will indulge on other things as well if someone else wants to play (i.e. basketball) 5. I watc... 2008-10-02 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=576256 My ring day is November 14th. Just so some of you know my history with the aggie ring: - I've grown up looking at my dad's ring. That ring is a rite of passage to me in that regard. It signifies all the hard work I have put into my education and life -The week before my freshman year I had a very realistic dream of holding and wearing my aggie ring -I miscounted my hours and by chance found that I had 95 at the very end of August this year -This ring will no doubt be my second favorite/most meaningful ring for the rest of my life I can't wait til NOV 14 And this made me laugh Thats purely for entertainment purposes...no reason whatsoever. Think of it as a reward for reading my blog 2008-09-16 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=568553 I mentioned in my last post about my classes (possibly changing before tomorrow 5pm). One of those classes was Medical Ethics. Now there are some things we've discussed in the first 2 days that I don't agree with, but the overall focus of the class is not to teach you to like SOCIALIZED healthcare, or SUPPORT/OPPOSE abortion or anything like that, but rather to teach you to be able to justify your beliefs with an ethical response. Anyway, today in class we discussed Health Care. 1) Examples of healthcare-- -preventative care -emergency care -diagnostics -surgery -geriatrics -pre-natal -oncology -pediatric -intensive -cosmetic -genetic -dental -hospice -etc. Thats stuff I believe we could all come up with when asked that question. Now for more philosophical questions... A) What are the Goals and Aims of Healthcare? B) What is the value of healthcare as related to those goals/aims? C) What are the principles of distribution based on those values of healthcare? D) What could be the ... 2008-08-28 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=567652 ...my foot hurts more and more. Okay so one of my toes is giving me problems but I had minor surgery on it a couple nights ago and it looks to be healing well. Summer was way too short/too long...depending on what you really consider "summer". To me, summer is vacation...of which I had 2 weeks with no school, and one of those weeks I works all but 2 days. So the bad part was long and the good part was short. I could have really used one more week of summer. Anyway my classes have actually seemed doable this semester and I think I may have successfully scheduled a GPR boosting semester for only the second time in my short stint here at A&M. I made a 3.4 my second semester here...every other semester has been under 3. However, this semester looks to push that mark of 3.4 and possibly surpass it. I'm taking a relatively small load of courses that don't have a huge amount of detail (as in physics, o-chem, biochem, etc.) My courses include Genetics (plus lab) Medical Ethic... 2008-08-26 http://www.pleonast.com/user/aggieman?l=5&entryID=559020 ...but instead I've been following this flow chart... Actually I've been following it for about a week now... Any thoughts? 2008-08-05
