BUMPSHACK JOURNAL
October 12, 1999: Luke and Trevor worked all day as did Kirk and Travis. Josh went to orthepedic at 8 which is way too early. Luke came home and pondered prospects of hooking up with co-worker. Empty lot next to Bumpshack is cleared. Looks like someone trying to get close to the bumpshack. Going to the rec fields to see some women playing football. Trevor closer to engagement.
October 13, 1999: Today was sort of an off day. Especially after last night. About 15 women were at the shack and into the late A.M. Had fun watching the video of the night before. Amy and Heather causing trouble in the bathroom. Player Luke did not report for bed call.
October 14, 1999:
One of Lukes womens mom bought him a gift. No Joke. I guess everyone is just trying to get the advantage on him. Trevor played an inspired volleyball game despite inspiration not being there. Eric Brown was added to the honorary bumpshack. M-4 life! Trevmill had the incline turned up tonight. Pre party tomorrow night before thug party. Should be a wild night. Tomorrow the 15th is also Kirk's 21st birthday. Stud Luke still in stable at this writing.
October 15, 1999:
Thug Party was tonight and the pre-party was at the Bumpshack. About 20-25 people were at the pre-party. Trevmill got a lot of good video footage from the party. If only everyone could see it, but how much trouble that would cause. At the post party there was some lesbian action at the Bumpshack that even amazed the Bumpshack. Vanilla Ice at the Bumpshack tonight? Luke finally got some shutt eye last night.
October 16, 1999:
Twelve or thirteen people were at Bumpshack and went to haunted house in Nashville, except people in Josh's car that was left behind. Everyone met back up at bumpshack and watched home video footage of the past week. Many a good laugh.
October 17, 1999:
Sunday is always a recovering day. Kirk's mom cooked lunch for the shack. Puffing Billys was the place to be to hear Gene and McEwen play. The Player Club Wing was closed for renevations tonight. Luke and Josh had to find another place to stay for night until Players Club Wing reopens tomorrow morning.
October 18, 1999:
Tonight the Bumpshack attended AOP Crush Party at Main Street. It was a lot of fun. Luke and Josh stayed out of trouble. Trevor is officially off the market. What a trader. I guess Josh and Luke are the only ones staying true to the game.
October 20, 1999: Josh went to Have a Nice Day in Nashville. The Bumpshack is going to be all over the country recruiting during fall break. Luke in PA. Kirk in New Orleans. Trevor in Virginia. Travis in Boro and Josh in West Tenn. There should be a lot of good stories when we have BS meeting Sunday night.
October 24, 1999: Everyone back at Bumpshack. Travis checked back in for a second at least. A bird got in here last night and would not shutt up. Finally Trevor made it in from family housing. Looks like it is going to be a good week. Luke had great fall break and continued it upon his return to Middle Tennessee.
October 26, 1999: For once everyone spent the night at the bumpshack by themselves. Luke went to bed so early that a female at school brought him some vitamins. So maybe that wont be happening again.Trevor was going to run but the track was not there.
October 27, 1999: Everyone at Bumpshack again. For second day in row a beautiful female cooked cookies for the Bumpshack. Trevor went to see Chris Rice's nice hardWOOD floors. Roney has to cook Trevor supper because of the Yankees sweep over the Braves. Front door at Bumpshack is still broken so come to the back door. New survey was added to webpage. Check it out.
October 29, 1999: Luke and Josh went to Caddyshack dateless and ended up not coming home, but noone was here anyway. Therefore there is not much of an entry.
November 1, 1999: Thank you CY for the brownies. That was very nice of you. Sarah I am sorry that you stayed past your thirty minute time restriction you placed on yourself at the Bumpshack. By the way Katy, Trevor's favorite food is macaRONY. Party this Saturday night at E house. Therefore a pre-party will probably transpose at the Bumpshack. Hope to see all of you there.
November 2, 1999: Not a whole lot going on. Player Luke and Josh made a couple of house calls. Josh went to Chili's and hung with Diego and some KA's and Charlsie and Jennifer. How about that impact guys? Go impact! Dont forget preparty before SAE party Saturday.
November 4, 1999: Josh was at Opryland Hotel trying to recruit new game with Tedder, and two old KA's. It was an investment conferance, but since we had free rooms we thought we would make the most of it. Player Luke always liked Air Jordan, but I did not know Jordan was in as good of shape since he retired.
November 5, 1999: Thanks CB for cooking supper for the Bumpshack. That was too sweet of you. Bump Alpha Luke and Trev. There is always a first time for everything.
November 6, 1999: Luke and B.J. attended Goo Goo and Trev found out that the X always has the knife and goes for the back. A relatively calm Sunday night as usual. Looks like Joshua only one that is being true to the game.
November 8, 1999: Bumpshack, after watching Big Daddy tonight has decided to adopt a kid. Jusk kidding but the idea was discussed. You know how much that would help everyones game? Genosi when are you going to come over to the Bumpshack? You are one of the few that have not. Tuesday night Bumpshack possibly going to 1.50 movies to see The Thomas Crown Affair. A great movie with Pierce running a great game.
November 9, 1999: Hines photo shoot on the pool table was pretty cool. Good to see the twins at the B.S. That bird came back but would not let any one in her nest. Turnbow said she needed to borrow a tape measure. Is that what they are called now? Sarah I think you tripled your time limit. Are you going to burn in hell?
November 11, 1999: A little movie action at CB's with Kirk,Luke,CB and Bridgett. Also who was it that received a call that could cause an uproar? Josh and Ashlee were in Jackson meeting Colin Powell and eating. Formals tomorrow night. I am sure there will be some stories. EHouse be on the lookout and watch your back.
November 12, 1999: Bumpshack kept the formals rocking. Including bumpshack pledges we had 7 at formals tonight and 1 Saturday night. That is a 100%. Compete with that wannabE house. Formal is a great place to set up future game and I believe that we all were able to accomplish that. Carroll way to go. You were able to get your date out of her dress while she was on the dance floor that is awesome. I can sense your initiation coming soon.
November 13, 1999: Trev and Luke and about 7 of trev's friends went and saw the poor man's Bob Dylan tonight (John Prine). Travis was at KD formal and Kirk and Josh relaxed and watched football and celebrated in the beautiful victory of the Arkansas Razorbacks.
November 14, 1999:
Luke lit it up at Puffing Billies on stage and then off stage. A great night as the Bumpshack was in full attendance. Also 60% of Bumpshack will be in Tunica the Saturday of Thanksgiving Break. Feel free to join us.
November 15, 1999:
Luke is a total sellout. Just look at his hair and try to guess who got him to do it? Morrow good work with the Cross. Keep it up. And dont forget 'Up til Dawn' this Friday from 11 p.m. - 2 a.m.
November 17, 1999:
Luke,Trevor and Kirk spent the night with their women. Couple of new pics were added. A controversial one of Luke and another of Luke and Josh at the Grammy's. Also someone left a very nice note on Josh's car tonight. He found it after his night class here is a scan of it. Any clues? Report them to B.S.

November 19, 1999: Luke, Trevor and a gang of people attended the Train concert. Josh and Eric rented and beat Knockout Kings 2000.Luke had two women spend the night. His sister and her friend. Tomorrow night, Saturday, we are having people over so feel free to come.
November 20, 1999: A wild night at the Bumpshack. We did not get to sleep until around 7. Pledge Carroll running some crazy game. Luke testing out the upstairs couch. Josh and a Bird where CB has been. JK. Trevor eating at MacraRoney's moms. Ehouse was over here. I guess since nothing was going on at their place and wont be until December. I think there was 5 or 6 victims this night. You know who you were.
November 23, 1999: Luke and Bridgett took to the town of Nashville. Bumpshack getting ready to go their own ways for the Holiday. Luke and Josh will be in West TN. If West Tenn. gang wants to get out and kick it then call the Bumpshack west.
November 26, 1999: Luke and Josh in Jtown. They went to Barley's Brewery and saw Matt Walker, Taylor Walker, Casey Rushing. Chris Arnold, Grant Ellington, Jared Jackson, Jenny Jackson. They also saw Brian Griese and Trey Teague who play for the Denver Broncos. Also attended a couple of other bars and caught a band and Josh caught an earful at one of them. A great night. Trevmill is probably having some mac and cheez.
November 27, 1999: Josh and Luke went to Tunica and had a good time. Especially at exit 24. Saw Carrie Beth and her family down there. Kirk I bet would like to know what went on. Luke had a great time once he found out drinks were free.

November 30, 1999: Trevmill spent another night at the Macarony grill. A real sweetie brought Josh some ice cream as a reward for his studying he has been doing. Luke had late night Waffle House run. Life is good.
December 1, 1999: Luke straight slippin and so is Trevor. A new associate was added so be sure to check him out. Seems to be one of Josh's relatives. Who knows?
December 2, 1999: Does Trevor even live here anymore? Luke running it on Kirk's woman? Happy 18th Birthday Britney Spears. You better watch out now. Good luck everyone on these last two weeks of school.
December 3, 1999: Not a whole lot going on tonight. Luke and Josh went to Genosi's going away party. Good luck Courtney. After that the players club went to Main Street and that was a complete waste of time.
December 4, 1999: Luke and Kirk went and cut down a Christmas tree and hauled it back on the top of Lukes car. Tonight Tackett and Flowers came over to chill with the Bumpshack crew. Everyone then went over to Elders to chill with a lot of E's.

Everyone have a merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

January 13, 2000:It has been good to see Yblood and BethF. at the Bumpshack the past week. I really wish there was a party Saturday night. If anyone has any good ideas for the webpage just email any of us. I hope that everyone is enjoying school.
January 29, 2000:A good evening as Bumpshack and A16 enjoyed the night at the Sigma Nu house. Eric found a replacement for Amber. She walked up and said show me what you can do. She went on to say that she worked in construction and use to work in a barn. It gets even better. HER name is J.P. and she is from Shelbyville. Eric said are you kidding me when she said what she did for a living. I am just glad that she makes you happy.
January 31, 2000:Josh's last night in Boro. Was nice of Celby to take me out to eat. Good day for Trevor as for now he is a free man. Sometimes you can have so much of something that you get tired of it. Well sometimes the opposite can have the same effect. Dont worry Trev you will find someone that you can blow off their feet. Plus the Bumpshack needs someone to keep the image going.
February 4, 2000:A cool nite as Chris Rice played at the SAE house. Lukes date was extremely rude to Josh. Trev did a great job. Kirk was cute with his cutie. Thank you Shannon and Sallie for making it a great nite. I hope you both had a good time.
August 31, 2000:Well it has been about a year since the beggining of the bumpshack, and what a year. Many women came, and many left with smiles. Bumpshack consists of a great group of guys. Some changes have taken place since the last entry. Dave Berry moved in and tried to replace Holmes, but he is gone. It must not of worked out or the pressure might of gotten to him. Eric Brown has now been called upon to replace Berry. Brown is a solid pick. He is a former roomate of Holmes, from the glorious M-4 days. So that experience should help him out in the intense situations. He is a free man though now, but a bitter one. He can run game, but is he going to run the teacher game again, or run game as a teacher now? I look for E. Brown to have a solid semester once he adjusts to the shack. He trained this past summer, working out of t-macs room. T-mac is back and looking forward to his sophmore year at the shack. Trevor looked as though he was going to have a great freshman year, but several slumps curtailed that. He had too many fumbles and basically let his mistakes get in his head. I look for T-Mac to be more mentally prepared this year. T-Mac comes from a great line of players. His big bro is Joshua Holmes and his little bro is Luke Laird. Did it skip a generation? Luke Laird. What potential. He seems to have settled down after an amazing first semester at the Bumpshack last fall. He is happy, so that is all that counts. Travis Morris had an up and down year. Morris should do better this year with Holmes gone. At times he had to share the ball with Holmes and this year he will not have to. Although look for him to try some of the same plays on the same courts. All-in-all Morris is due for a breakout year. Kirk, the owner of the franchise, is in a solid relationship with Miss. Mcdonald. This should stay intact as they recently had their one year anniversary. Carrie Beth knows the bumpshack well, but the buck stopped when it came to Kirk. He must of known how to shut her game down. That is why Catron makes a great owner. Also an unrestricted free agent to look out for is Jacob Holmes who is trying to break into the big leagues. He should have a good solid rookie effort as he looks for a team to latch on to. Rumor has it he has already been spotted at the SHACK, INC. a couple of times.Joshua Holmes is in Baton Rouge, LA working on his law degree and, you guessed it, running game. LSU has been known as the Hall of Fame of game running. Maybe we can get a couple ofther Shacksters down there before it is too later. The SHACK, INC. would like to thank all the ladies for a wonderful past year. We enjoyed the times together and look forward to the future, because the future is always brighter than the past. At the SHACK, INC. the ladies are always welcome and we hope to see all of you soon.
September 18, 2000:
Josh,
Hey buddy how's it goin. I wanted to let you know that Jacob is doing a
great job. I assigned little brothers last night and he was in high dewmnd,
but I couldn't go against the Bumpshack roots I felt I had to keep him in
the Bump Alpha Family. It has caused some great strain at the shack between
the two finalist, Trevor and Luke, but I feel I made the proper choice.
After weighing all options I needed to look into the depths of each of them.
I first looked at Luke. Luke Laird has all the potential in the world, he
also made a CD this weekend, you will be getting one via UPS as soon as they
hit the market, Luke posses all the social skills a young man like Jacob
needs to look-up to, minus the boozing and horring around (okay just the
boozing) although being married did not work in his favor I felt he was a
strong Candidate. Next I had to look to The young Irish man Trevor. I took
into consideration what Trevor has done for The Shack as well as SAE. He
does posses the great virtues of an old but not forgotten man, you. There
was one huge factor that I had to look at with Trevor. He is single, and
the sexualality issue is still up in the air. So after consulting with
another great old man, Eric Brown, I have decided to let The Future
superstar Luke Laird guide young Jacob into the future, plus he promised me
a free CD, I lost a precious 5 minutes thinking about this, but I could not
let Young Jacob become disillusional about his sexuality by following
Trevor. Although Jacob will not find out until Monday the 18th of September
I believe that he will be pleased!
I hope all is well in Baton Rouge.
Kirk
