David Lipscomb High School, 2008, Chico’s pre-calculus class
Student A: Where did Jamin Rucker go to College?
Student B: He’s at Lipscomb. Engineering I think.
Chico: *shakes head*…help us all…
Nothing Says "Love" Like the Beach Boys
“Well its been building up inside of me For oh I don’t know how long I don’t know why but I keep thinking Something’s bound to go wrong But she looks in my eyes And makes me realize When she says “Don’t worry baby” Don’t worry baby Everything will turn out alright Don’t worry baby Don’t worry baby Don’t worry baby

While we’re talking about the Rosetta Stone, did you know that Egypt’s 6 year long battle to get it back ended in December when they decided they would settle for a 3 month loan rather than a permanent return?

Although I am somewhat disgruntled at your action of removing your previous post, I take comfort in the fact that it remains intact as my own personal re-blog.
Carry on.

I LOVE it when my friends play with my phone! And I love Jamin!
Yay!
Pet Peeve:
When you’re looking for a parking spot and you think you see one, but then you realize someone else parked their tiny, compact car behind an SUV. Compact cars should be banned. They’re nothing but annoying. ‘Compact’ meaning a Smart Car or Yaris. Or pre-1991 Hondas that have no business still working, but they do anyway because the Japanese are unnecessarily smart and...
Camilo Mejía
Read his story. It’s short.
State Radio wrote a song about him in 2006.
Woke him up with a barrel to his head His eyes shut tight bracing for the blow Resigning his life to the metal held In another man’s hand Twenty days in a concrete fallout What life have I to take your own? Oh my country won’t you call out? Doorbells are ringing with boxes of bones And from...
This is hilarious.
I have the equivalent of 8 problems due tomorrow, one of which involves writing a program.
My current status? One problem down with a copy of Matlab that won’t run for some reason.
This means going to school either before chapel and doing the program then, or doing it after chapel/during lunch and losing my lunch time/time to finish my last written problem.
A problem typically takes about...
Game ending. Kudos if you guess it before 35...
I’m feeling an Apollo 13 viewing soon.
I've seen the light.

I just dele… sorry… DEACTIVATED my Facebook account. If you need to contact me, call me; I’ve always preferred it that way anyway.
I guess I’ll have to settle for the NHL player from Tampa Bay…
You can also deal with the fact that I wrote ‘television’ instead of ‘tv’.
Who likes Factors of Safety?!
YOU do, because they mean you won’t die in your car, on the plane, or opening that door with those Strong Man Competition biceps of yours!! We all know you’ve been worried about that since the age of 13. What if my absurd strength is somehow powerful enough to rip that door off its hinges like a hurricane force wind gust like what happened in that revolving door video? What if I...

"You'll be in my thoughts and prayers..."
I don’t like this phrase. I like the prayer part, but I hate the thoughts part. What good does that do? When I struggle in life, I get no comfort from the knowledge that someone is thinking about me. “Well, I broke my leg and I can’t work for three months to pay for food for my family. It’s going to be ok, though, because I know lots of people are thinking about...
Oh sacred head, now wounded, with grief and shame weighed down Now scornfully surrounded, with thorns Thine only crown How pale Thou art with anguish, with sore abuse and scorn How does that visage languish, which once was bright as morn What Thou, my Lord, has suffered was all for sinners gain Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain Lo, here I fall my Savior, this I...
Bits and pieces from The Art of Manliness. The title is ‘The Secret to Becoming a Better Man in 2010”, but it’s all about discipline.
Discipline is essentially the ability to put off what we want in the moment for what we want in the long run.
Stop thinking of your “flaw” as part of your identity. Part of why it’s hard to make changes in our lives, why we find ourselves...

Jamin Rucker: Caitlin Galo is like a melody in my head that I can’t keep out, got me singin’ like, Na Na Na Na every day.

Caitlin Galo: Swoon.
Simple, but effective, thanks to Iyaz.

“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today are Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”

WOW
If anyone can link me to an original Baby Bottle Pop commercial, that would be great. Youtube is officially infested with the stupid Jonas Brothers, and their stupid little 10 second commercial for the Baby Bottle Pop of the 90’s that they did. There’s even a “making of.”
Is there any hope left in this world?
It has been the most ridiculous night.
We closed the store at 3:30 today. I was skeptical. Everyone was saying the roads were fine. What they should have said is that Franklin Road was fine.
Make it to Caldwell to find it covered in ice.

The downhill to school is approximately 19 times worse than the uphill.

Caleb: “I’m going to Alaska for a conference in May. You should come with me.”
Jamin: “Awesome! Roadtrip!”
Caleb: “Actually……I may have booked a wedding….”
Jamin: *facepalm
Customer: “How do you make a rug out of fabric I can buy?”
Jamin: “NO!”
From Pop. Science magazine in the lunch room at the BI -
“If each American driver cycled to work just one day a week, we would cut our Persian Gulf oil imports in half.”
I just had the most ridiculous night.
