Under the sky of stars

The other night I wans standing on one foot leaning on the side of my house, staring at the sky. There were some thin clouds and I saw the light of the moon shining through. There was a nice small opening where I could see what looked like stars (Probably were) I just wish I took a picture. How come beautiful sights bring out "Emotions" or "Emotional" thoughts? It is a very strange feeling, that I don't like to think about but enjoy experiencing while it happens, it's a very strange feeling and I have no clue how to describe it. It was very calm, with the gorgeous fall weather I had a sweatshirt and shorts on (Probably one of my favorite outfits)

Running my life through my head, the struggles and enjoyments was rather enjoyable. A quiet time of thinking. Many that know me, realize this broken foot of mine is a rather discouraging ordeal. But I've been Still "Counting it as joy" it's a wakeup call to appreciate the magnificence of God, which is something I truly wasn't seeing as my Blind-Ignorant self ( In many more ways then one). As one song states "No matter where I'm at, I can't pretend, I've found something better then where I've been." I really have honestly. I'm happier with this darn broken ankle then I was before, patience has been taught to me.

Being able to walk today and at the Apple picking trip I went to on Friday with my HSG, it was like starting over again. I felt like I was learning how to walk again However "Penquinish" I looked. It was very encouraging. I'll be getting this cast off Tuesday and getting a walking cast. I mean I've hit records of strength over this time period, I've never in my dreams been able to curl 40 pounds with a single hand, do 20 chin ups or my record of 117 push ups. I'll do my best to go for jogs everyday, This 8 pack is coming in no matter how "Husky" my build might be. Ha Ha

Question: How would I look in a Mustache? thanks.

Apple picking.

Yea yea! I had a blast, fun to acually get out of the house ( although I didn't pick any apples teehee).

I was acually able to walk today, I tried and I walk like practically perfectly. I even tossed back and forth... Random objects.

Mrs L Dropped me back off at home, and I forgot the key so we had to stop by my grandparents house to pick up my house key. When I got at the top of the driveway, my grandfather kind of looked confused, so I tried to make sure my presence was known and in the meantime I accidentally bumped Mrs L in the nose, if you see this I apologize.
Here I am on the computer, not doing anything. drop by a message :)

Continuing my role as captain crash.

*dun dun dun*

Nicks been laughing at the way I hop around my house and outdoors ( I really don't like crutches) Friday he came over, and we went outside to "Survey" the land to see where we could build a chin up bar. As I was hopping around our 1 acre yard I hear a giggle, I look around and see Nick giggling at me he said "You look like you have a built in pogo stick" ._.

Previously that day I was home alone and was hoppily hopping around, when my grandfather comes over to see if I needed anything. I get the door, and he asks me if I wanted to go with him to his house for lunch I told him sure. The previous night my family was doing laundry and had to go to bed, and left it the next day because they had to go to school. I have to grab my key to go somewhere, so I was lazy and decided to jump over the pile of laundry and *WHAMmMm* I land on my foot, owies. I went to the doctor today just to make sure nothing got shifted, while I was in one of the rooms, one of the nurses walks by and says "So What did you do now?" before I got a chance to respond, the doctor walks by looks at me smirks and says "He came because he wants to make sure he didn't screw up any of my hard work" I just smiled back and waited for him to come back. When he looked at my X-ray, he stood there for a second, and says with the funniest voice ever "It looks better, you should fall on it more often" LOL!

School has been good, stressful but good. My nutcase sister "Christine" has been teaching me (Don't they say that the youngest child is closest to the oldest child?) Math and some English. Speaking of which, if anybody needs help with any math it's my best and favorite subject. So just lemme know :)

Don't you hate the feeling of being blind? not literally, just not seeing the whole picture. Grr it's bugging me.

Aight, time to check out other peoples blogs and stuff.

Burried with work. Randomness.

I really am list of things I need to do/done today. life seems so short when you can't walk, it's the craziest feeling ever.
Gotta fix Christine's computer (She can (or can she?! :D) but she has no time apparently.)
I just finished Eric's template, be sure to check it out on his blog.
Bunch of math to do.
Have to finish a paper on "Should the national drivers license age be raised to 18" by friday.
a decent amount of Arabic homework.

I'm off to bed, I'll have a big post tomorrow.

Hope everybody likes it.

I made this completly myself, I used minimal support from the website that Eric or any of the others got their templates from.

The Music is for Eric's sake, because of his most recent post.

It needs some touch ups, so please comment what you think needs to be changed PLEASE.

Whats good about it.

From breaking my ankle I've learned a few things so already.

1) Patience, ohh it's tough.

2) How to balance on one foot ^-^

3) How NOT to balance on one foot >=D

4) I can still exercise my arms and Leg (Singular :)

Sitting out of something, isn't always a BAD thing it's nice, to just watch (Sometimes).


Exercise Goals reached today: 100 Pushups, 20 pullups. 3 sets of 8 curls for 30 lbs dumbbells.

Exercise Goals to reach tomorrow 105 pushups, 25 pullups and 3 sets of 10 curls for the 30lb dumbbells.

I ate some Wendys food on the way home... I probably should go do a few exercises... then I'm off to bed for real.

Church

Church tonight was good, very energetic everybody was everywhere playing GDB. I was sitting on the sidelines holing Elias watching everybody play, he might I add doesn't like to stay with me, after the first few minutes of holding him he was calling for Mommy.

After the game (This is the main reason for my post) Me Eric and Molly were talking, my foot came up. Eric had apparently told Molly that I "cried" when I broke it. ok, number one, I was NOT crying Just a fact, My sister was standing right there and confirmed I was NOT actually crying, I was just.. how you say.... IN PAIN. ok. phew, got that out of the way.

So, hows them apples Eric!? O_o.... o_O

Didn't cry, didn't cry, didn't cry. I DIDN't it's true.

Any who, Eric... I beat arm wrestling the other day, he just cant seem to beat me anymore...0_O O_o

I'm tired, and in a little bit of pain because Pillsbury accidentally hit my cast tonight. Owies, no worries Matt.

Random thoughts

Debating/discussions in person aren't something that people would enjoy fun participating in with me, I don't really show much (Lack of a better word) "Emotion"? At least this is what I've been told. My thinking pattern and logic although is there just my ability to talk about it, is not.

Think about it.

Done?

Good.

Being the youngest I'm just one that take things as they come, form opinions, find reasons why the other party's side is false, but don't say anything. Christine, and Karen are probably the best people to have conversations with. They're on top of discussions and make their views known show emotion, as eldests definitely should. Usually a youngest child's opinion is shot down instantly, and is overridden with the voice of an older sibling (No problem there, it's how it works.) I'm also a guy, in case many people haven't noticed :) Learned/forced to be laid back. Although, I will say. . . Careful when talking to me about controversial/heated issues :) My fathers a lawyer, and I've learned a lot. Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean I can't, I'll be a little rusty of course, but hey. WATCH YOUR BACKS!


Something I've noticed, the skill of sentence analyzation has become a little clearer to me. The maturity level of individuals deep down Oozes out of they're writing style, the choice of words, grammar, punctuation, Topics, how many "!!!" or "????" or "?!?!?!?!"'s placed... ETC. it's not something anybody can hide either, it's just something that develops over time.

Take Christine for example (Love you Christine ;) if you see her blog or "Journal" you can see that she's a complete nutcase or cranky pants, but is truly mature deep down.

Did I mention it's a real P.I.P (:D) to take a shower with a cast? Yeah, It's so annoying.

Did I also mention, that I hit my goal of doing 100 push ups in one shot? WATOOTZORZ >=D

Alrighty ya'll. *tips hat*

I'm just here

On the couch, with my laptop, occasionally getting up to try working out. at the end of this whole broken leg experience, my left leg will look like a stick compared to the rest of my body. I've hit records of how many Push ups and Pull ups I can do... as well as some other strange exercises. Oh yes and.. PART OF MY 6 Pack ShOwwsss WOOTZ! lol

Anywho, I'm here... I've forgotten to leave meebo open, so I'll open it now. if anybody cares to pop in a message it's totally welcome :)

Sarah was right.

I got a call from the hospital this morning asking me to come back in for more tests and unfortunitly Sarah was correct about my Ankle being broken, pretty badly broken too... it might need surgery, I'll find out on Monday though when I go to see a specialist. A little much to deal with at the moment.

Meghan i got your IMs, I'm sorry I wasn't around... I was in the ER Waiting room for about 6 hours. I asked my sister to put up an away message for me, but she only put it on skype and not AIM. I'll be on tonight though :)

B-ball ER

Today we had some b-ball again, it was going well sort of dark, but it was good. Nick and I were on the same team, owning it up, when I got a loose ball, spun around jumped and took a shot (Seeing Nick next to the hoop able to rebound it) While in mid air, I was watching the ball seeing where it was going to go. When I landed and heard a loud *POP* and thought I landed on a stick and broke it or something, I shortly after collapsed but didn't feel any pain (In case somebody was wondering, I didn't cry, it's been many years since I actually cried about anything,(Thats not really a great thing... I just don't shed tears)). I believe the pain was sent to my spine before I actually felt it... it's like when you touch something hot, you immediately move your hand, before you actually feel any pain. Thats exactly how it was... Sarah being the wonderful little dear that she is, and health major in College told me that she thought I broke my ankle. I doubted it, because the way it felt, and the way I was able to move it didn't feel broken, It was swelling and FAST. Christine called my parents who were at work, and told them what happened. They came home immediately, and took me to the ER because we were afraid it was dislocated as well as broken (The result would make the bone not repaired correctly). It wasn't very serious, and I was in a lot of pain. but it wasn't something I was too worried about. Dad got me a wheel chair from the place (Rushing, not quite sure why... But I'm grateful for his concern) which could fit 3 of me. It was so fun looking at all the medical equipment they had, that and something/somebody kept my mind off of the situation. It was very quick, I was out of the place in two hours.

Nick my brother in law is awesome, he was very caring while I was at home waiting for my parents. I know this is Massachusetts, but I don't mean it that way, I'm straight and everybody knows that. but I love that guy to bits, he's awesome... he's the closest thing I have to a brother, and he plays that role so well.

It's midnight, and I have sleeping to catch up on.

Last Saturday

Was my parents 23'rd wedding anniversary. Sunday we went to my grandparents house for lunch celebrating it. Is it tradition for most people to have the same cake on their anniversary as the one they had at their wedding? I've never known, but for our family it is. My grandmother was the person that made their wedding cake, and it was Carrot cake... MmmMM MmM, Except I didn't try it back then for obvious reasons ^-^ but every year I've been alive on their anniversary I get to try it, it seems to get better every time.

The whole clan (Nick is in the clan too ;)

It's life.

As it stands now, I'm starting school tomorrow... As it could change tonight where I start school some other day this week, that not particularly good because the later I start, the later I end. I love to learn and I hope I've made that known throughout my posts. I also enjoy homeschooling in theory. This year of school will probably be the most stressful I've been through, and ever will be in my high school education, because next year I'll be a senior and I'll have finishing my high school to look forward to.

There's been talk about my graduated sister Christine coming by in evenings to come "Teach" me college level math. A higher level of physics then I've already done, as well as calculus I presume. The math I'll be doing by myself at home will probably be the "advanced math".

I'll go into this next year, writing papers better then before... because of the wonderful invention of blogging. Where I can open my mind to things as I would never do in person, typing/writing is something I enjoy doing more now.

Christine has a major role to play in the nature of some of my posts, as they are sometimes crazy/randomly stupid just like hers *cough cough* Compliment Christine, really! Eric is acually the one who got me into blogging, He hasn't been writing much recently tough*tsk tsk tsk* Completely opposite to Mrs B who I subconsciously compete with on how many posts I can write (She's winning by the way, it's not even close.).

Every year as long as I can remember as my summer comes to a close, it's always gorgeous outside: Breezy, slightly dark with many clouds in the sky but never raining. Today is like one of those signature days.

Eyes Comparison.

So today I was looking through Photos, and I saw I picture of my eyes my dad had taken about 7-8 years ago. Today Nick took a picture of my eyes, I wasn't sure why... but now I'm happy, because I have something to post about... allrighty down to buisness, check this out.



7-8 years ago.
If you click on each of the pictures, you'll see a close up, in both of these pictures, my eyes are the same color, well sort of, in my right eye I have the bottom half green while the top half is brownish, and the left eye is blue.

Today


I know I know, kinda useless post. But I thought it'd be kinda cool.
