Update

Wow...I have not blogged in forever. I know that a lot of you probably have not missed my random thoughts and boring ramblings but I have missed sharing them. I will go ahead and apologize to the ones who do read my blog for not posting in so long but I feel kindo stupid posting without something to talk about.
Anyways my night has been long and I'm not asleep yet so I am going to go ahead and give an update on whats been going on here. My life has been going GREAT! I recently found out that I am very very close to graduating and while that does make me a little nervous I think that I am going to go ahead and get off my butt and get me a job that I actually enjoy so at the same time I am really excited.
I just got done coaching my youth flag football team for the season. It was by far the best job that I have ever had. Even though my team finished a very terrible 1-9 it was the greatest thing that I have ever done. I wasn't a coach yet when the kids were drafted so I got stuck with all of the kids that noone else picked. While that doesn't sound like a great thing to a lot of people I took it as a challenge and an opportunity. I had the best group of kids that anyone could ever ask for and they came out and busted their butts every time we had a practice. When we finally won that first game (which happened to be the last game of the season) I have never been happier due to a sporting event. The way the kids celebrated and the way the parents congratulated me just left me with one of the greatest feelings that anyone could ask for. I am looking forward do doing it again next year, as well as coaching youth basketball this January.
Classes are going extremely hard and I have found that I actually have to work hard to be able to pass them. But on the flip side I AM HAVING A BLAST hanging out with all of my friends here in Stephenville. I am looking forward to taking random roadtrips, going on retreats, and just sitting around and watching some TV for the rest of my time here at Tarleton.
Well that is about all I have for my update on life right now. Sorry for the long post but I suppose I had a lot to give you guys today. Anyways I hope that I don't take that long to blog ever again. Dueces!

Classes

I am taking all of my business classes this semester. I don't really know how I feel about this yet. My accounting class absolutely sucks. It's hard. I don't know how well this is gonna work out. So be praying about that one. Other than that though I have all marketing classes, which is my major. I really like all of those classes. A couple of them seem like they are gonna take a lot of work. And that really sucks since I don't like to do homework but instead of just lectures all of the time our classes are all discussion based which makes it a LOT more interesting. However my favorite class so far has to be my Public Relations class. We are getting together with a team and creating our own PR firm. My team's firm so far is looking pretty great. Granted we only have a name, slogan, and a logo I think that we are on the right track to being a very successful firm. Anyways, I think (I say I think because I'm not sure I was really listening to our teacher when she was talking about this) that we are supposed to go around town and find a business that will allow us to publicize their business. It seems like its gonna be a cool class and a really cool semester. Short post tonight but I was really just trying to make JMob happy. Dueces!

Hola!

So I have maintained blogging silence for quite a while here. Things have been pretty busy and I have been kind of sick. Makin the transition back to school has been a rough one on my sleeping schedule but it has been a lot of fun. Here are a few highlights so far....

1. Moved back into my apartment with my roommate and it has been awesome. Our apt is great and its awesome not having to live in the dorm with a bunch of rules. Besides that a couple of our buddies moved into an apt on the floor above us and it has been really cool hanging out so far.
2. Started classes on Monday. So far they are really really cool. I have been taking straight Marketing classes mixed in with an Accounting class. My classes have been cool because they are less note taking and a lot more conversation in class.
3. Been hanging out with some of my Tarleton friends and it has been great to catch up. Kinda cool to see what had been going on during the summer and just chillin with them.
4. Still have not gotten a job yet. I am just gonna go with reffing football games for right now. I should make enough money to be alright while doing that. It pays alright.
5. NFL preseason is winding down which means that the real season will start in about a week. I can not tell you how excited I am about this. This is definitely my favorite time of year.
6. Tomorrow I am gonna ride with Epi up to Ft. Worth to watch my high school alma mater....THE Goldthwaite Eagles play their first game of the season. Should get to see a lot of people from my hometown and get to watch the first real high school football game. I'm pretty pumped.
7. I am finally getting over a cold that I have had ALL WEEK. It freakin sucks. I mean honestly....who gets a cold in August? It really sucks.
8. Really excited to see how this year of school is gonna go. Im sure that it will take me about two weeks to get completely tired of school but I think it should still be a fun school year anyways. I will try to keep you guys posted.

Anyways those are a couple of the things that have been going on with me here lately and I will really try to do a better job of updating my blog more often. Gotta finish watching the rest of the Cowboys preseason finale right now so I gots to go. Dueces!

Hard Knocks

Hard Knocks is one of my favorite shows on television right now. This year the HBO crew has gone from training camp with the Chiefs back to training camp with my Dallas Cowboys. Last year Jenna and I went to Cowboys training camp in San Antonio, Tx. We were really hoping to go this year to especially since we would get to get on the field this time but a Church of God conference in the Alamo Dome forced the Cowboys to have training camp in Oxnard, California. It really sucks that I didn't get a chance to go this year but Hard Knocks has kind of settled my anticipation for the season down a little bit. The best thing about the show is that it actually gets you deeper into training camp than actually going. It is a great show that profiles one of the greatest franchises in NFL history. I suggest that if you have HBO then you should get home by 9 on wednesday nights and check out what has been going on the past couple of weeks in Oxnard. You won't be disappointed.

My Past Week

This past week has been pretty great. I haven't done anything really. I have been working on finding a new job and that has actually gone pretty well. With a lot of help from Nicky B I think that I may have found a new job that will give me just a couple hours a week which is exactly what I am looking for. Other than that I have just been hanging out with my roommate Epi. He is one of the coolest guys I know and its been cool just hanging out with him this week. We have been trying to get a lot more exercise into our routine so three nights this week we have been going to play basketball. I love playing basketball but considering that I haven't worked out in I don't know how long, I have no endurance, and they like to play full court it has been pretty rough on me. I'm slowly making that transition back though.

Other than all of that I have been looking for a new car and that isn't going so well. If anyone is looking to donate a car then let me know....I will probably take it. Hopefully something will come up pretty quick and I will get this thing solved.

This weekend Jenna came down to see me. It has been a pretty great weekend. We have just been hanging out and catching up. On Friday we went and ate half price appetizers at Montana's and watched Pineapple Express with a couple of my friends here in Stephenville. On Saturday we had nearly decided to go up to Dallas/Fort Worth to see if we could find me a car but instead sat around the house and ended up watching the Cowboys game and Michael Phelps win his 8th gold medal. Tomorrow we are gonna try out a different church called Harvey Baptist Church. I am pretty pumped about trying it out and can't wait to see what God has in store for me there. Also next week we got tickets for the Cowboys 3rd preseason game and we are gonna go up to Irving and watch it on Friday. I am freakin pumped and cant wait for the game. Sorry about the delay in posting but its been slow here and hard to find topics to write about. Anyways I got to get to bed so I can get to church tomorrow. Dueces!

Here it is....

So here it is. Nic posted last month that NCAA Football 2009 was the greatest game ever and that the day it is released should be a national holiday. Well I would have to disagree. Now I did go out and buy NCAA the night it was released at midnight and have been playing it like crazy but for my taste I always go with Madden. I have been a Madden fan ever since Madden 96 came out on SUPER NINTENDO! It has gotten me through a lot of rough times in my life and now the lastest edition has been released to a video game store near you. It has a ton of new features for this years game including a skill level mode where it measures how good you are at different aspects of the game and then sets the difficulty level of those things to how good or bad you are at them. Pretty sweet. If you guys have never played Madden then I highly suggest you go over to someone's house and just try it out....you won't be disappointed. Now unfortunately I do not have the spare cash to purchase Madden right now so I'm just gonna say that if anyone would like to make a contribution to the "Get Jaron Madden 2009" fund then I would gladly accept. Anyways that is what im ranting about today but now I've got to go eat some $6.00 fajitas. Dueces!

Trying to Shed Some Pounds

If you guys read this blog often then you know that I am a huge fan of Perry Noble...he is to me like Mark Driscoll is to JMob. If you guys don't get that then I should probably let you know that JMob is a huge Driscoll fan and hangs on every word he says. Anyways I am a huge Perry Noble fan and last weekend he preached about if it was alright for a Christian to drink alcohol. Well he was talking about how a lot of people were getting all pissy about having a beer but there are a lot of facts that prove that obesity is just a big a problem in Christianity as alcohol. If you guys wanna read a couple of the facts from that sermon then here is the link to Perry's blog. Now his words got me thinking about that and it is so true. Obesity is a huge problem that noone ever talks about but it is just as bad as drinking. I do not consider myself obese at all but I do think that I could stand to shed a few pounds. So this week I have been running everyday and trying to get in a workout. It takes a lot of work to push aside my XBox time to go for a workout but I have managed to do it. Now I have not turned into a total health nut or anything because I still eat whatever the crap I want but I have made a couple of changes. This week I have had nothing but water to drink and that automatically has made me feel better. I also have just tried eating smaller portions of whatever I've got in front of me. So I am trying my best to shed these pounds and put a stop to my problem with gluttony but it will take some work. So if you guys are looking for something to pray for then pray for my endurance in this task. I already am missing cookies and brownies but will have to cut back on them quite a bit. Now I have to go ice my entire body after my two hour basketball game so until next time. Dueces!
