I know you'll see this my darling, so I take the time to write it for you.
You are the other half of myself. If I were a puzzle, you'd be the outside edge pieces that held me together and straightened me out. We fit together in a way that cannot possibly be a deviation in some equation of life.
Your smile is the be all, end all of my happiness. Your tears are the depth of my sorrow. Your shoulders are my place to cry, and your hands are my Kleenex, wiping away my tears.
Despite my flaws you've always been there. Even in the times when I thought my world was falling apart, I had you. My best times are with you, and my worst are better because of you.
If only I had the grasp on the english language o say how I felt about you, but alas, all I can do is ramble endlessly.
So why did I sit down and write this at this late hour? I don't know, just needed to make sure that your day started with my love ( I know you'll read this when you get up, you predictable)
So heres a brief list of the things that make me love you to start your day:
Your endless patients,because I'm slow. I'm called "Special" Ed for a reason, and I thank you for putting up with my endless rambling.
The way you just let me go when I feel the need to describe at great length this cool math theorem I proved. I know you don't understand half of it, but you listen to all of it and it means a lot.
The way you make me watch movies I don't want to watch and then not making fun of me when they make me cry. I'm a crier, I come from a long tradition of criers and our children will someday be grand criers in their own right.
The way you agonize over what color your fingernails are.
That growl noise you make when I make you mad.
The way you randomly bring my Reese cups.
....... and the list goes on forever....
I know I've failed at expressing what I wanted to, but read between the lines its in their somewhere, I promise.
****************************************************************
She's my angel, small and strong.
Without her I am truly alone,
But with her I can do all things.
She is my drive, my reason for waking,
My thirst for life,
And my future.
I can't tell you what she's like,
You'd never understand.
***************************************************************

| WoW What a weekend! |
[21 Oct 2001|10:54pm] |

This weekend the UTK bowling team, of which I am a member traveled to Virginia Tech and bowled in the 1st annual Hookie Classic. We went to this relatively small tournament to gain experience for our newer members before the season really got to the big tournies. But instead we managed to log some serious wins. On day one we beet 4 teams and finished 4-4, and then on day 2 we continued our sucess with a 2nd 4-4 performance, going 8-8 for the weekend. Day 2 had its big ups and its big downs, The downs were close loses of 5 pins and 7 pins. Loosing games like that hurts bad, those 2 matches could have pushed our weekend to a mind blowing 10-6. But then came the big up. We had a tough draw in our 7th match on day 2. We had Virginia Tech, trust me they are amazingly good. We figured we would loose and set in to the match with poor spirits. But early in the match it became apparent that our opponents were having some troubles and we were not. We managed to win game one by 18 pins. Going into game 2 we knew we had a small chance of taking the match and we gave it all we had with a burst of pride. We proceeded to shoot our best game of the day and beet them in game 2 by 75 pins, giving us a 93 pin win over one of the top teams in the country. It really lifted our spirits and we hope to continue our success in Atlanta in 2 weeks .
I personally shot well day 1 and shot great day 2 (with the exception of one match in which I sucked some major ass).
Thanks for listening to me ramble.

| Love |

This really is priceless. I cried when I read some of them.
A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year olds: "What does love mean?" The answers they got were broader and deeper than you could imagine. See what you think ...
"Love is that first feeling you feel before all the bad stuff gets in the way."
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis, too."
"When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth."
"Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your fresh fries without making them give you any of theirs."
"Love is when someone hurts you and you get so mad but you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their feelings."
"Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him to make sure the taste is OK."
"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday."
"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well."
"During my piano recital, I was on a stage and scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore."
"Love is when mommy gives daddy the best piece of chicken.'
"Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."
"Love is when you puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day."
"I let my big sister pick on me because my mom says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her."
"When you love somebody your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you."
"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it alot. People forget."
"Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross."

Ever have on of those stretches where everything went your way? I'm in one right now.
It all started Friday when my Math 323 professor came down with the flu and canceled our class for a week and made our 2nd exam take home.
Then Saturday my beloved Vols were able to beat LSU.
Sunday I rearranged my apartment and everything fit where I had hoped it would. Then at bowling team practice I rocked.
Then today I showed up to my Math 341 lecture and my professor had a really angry look on his face. He said " I graded the last homework, so the 6 of you who bothered to do it can come up and pick it up." 6! out of 25. This is the homework I mentioned in my entry a few days back. I went and picked mine up and got a B- . He then says he was upset with the lack of effort by the class and wanted the homework from everyone on Friday. Since i had already done it, I get to correct my work and turn in the "fixed" version for my grade. I am so happy.
Then after I got off work I went to grab a bite to eat and some lady gave me a survey to fill out whiles I ate my meal. I got three free bags of candy for my time.
Well gotta go, but hope things are good for all of you out there,
Ed

Well what can I say, another weekend draws to a close. UT beat LSU (barely) and we had a blast at the game.
Had bowling team practice today. I dont know how this season will turn out but I have really improved my game here recently. Tonight I shot a 146,174, and 186 for a 508 series. Thats my 2nd best series ever (best was a 509 lol). We practice again tommorow, and for my own sake, I need to repeat those scores.
Rachele is calling me to bed so I should go now. Take care folks.

Well I got up this morning and opened my Math 341 book. This normally makes me feel crappy, but today I actually think I did well on our assignment. Guess I might not be so bad at this math major thing.
Still tired, was up late last night kidding around with Rachele and playing with Livejournal. But today is Friday, so if I can get through 3 lectures and my shift at work I get a few days to recover.
Getting excited about the Vols game this weekend. For those who dont follow college football, please ignore the following.
This game should be good. #8 Vols against the #14 LSU Tigers. My seats arent to good but at least i get to go :) . I am concerned with the LSU offense, its considerably better than the Arkansas team we had trouble beating a few weeks ago.
Well enough chit chat I am gonna go surf the net for a few minutes before class,

Hi I'm Ed. I finally gave in to the LJ thing. My girlfriend has had a journal for ages and after all to much time watching, I wanted to join in.
What do you need to know about me? Hmmm, tough question. How about the basics. I'm a 21 year old college student at the university of Tennessee. I am majoring in Mathematics. Yes I am a brain. I am a member of the universities Bowling team, and have been for 7 semesters, making me the longest member of the mens team currently.
Music? Well I like to think of myself as open minded for music. I listen to alot of different things. I tend to gravitate toward bands/artists who aren't afraid to use poetic language and present their real emotions. My favorite band is Live. In case your not familiar with them let me say this, BUY THEIR CDS. Sorry, bit of a fanatic. Also enjoy Red Hot Chili Peppers, Limp Bizkit, Creed, and The Beatles.
Food? If its bad for me, I love it. If its good for me I dont like. If its really weird, scary, or odd looking, I've probably tried it. Odd foods to my credit include shark, alligator, squirrel, frog and Wheaties. (Yes Wheaties are scary)
I do what for fun? I love to bowl. I am an avid Everquest addict. I have seen more than my share of empty Rum bottles and let me tell you, never found a rum I didnt like.
Family? I have a younger sister, she is 3 years younger and attends my university( its her first year). My parents are still married ( a rarity these days) but are currently working through a rather bad set of troubles between them.
Favorite Movies? Return of the Jedi, As Good As it Gets, Army of Darkness, Almost Famous, Fight Club,and The Mummy.
I figure the other details will fill themselves in over time. So here begins my journal.
-Ed
