Sorry.

2008-04-02T14:53:00.001-04:00

I won't be blogging or on the computer much... i had surgery in my hand this morning and can barely use it. (i'm typing with one hand.)

Everything.

2008-03-27T17:27:00.002-04:00

Wow, it's been a little while. Not sure how often I really can update, but I said I would so I guess I will.

A lot going on, I've been studying for the S.A.T.s which I'll be taking next year as my senior year in high school. It's been going alright. Math with my grandfather is... well... the same as always, very time consuming but full of learning and Brain-cranking-skillz.

I've been on AIM, I actually got a new Screenname: "d1oJ2". Find a meaning? The REAL meaning, I'll give you a cookie.

Yes, you knew it was coming. I've now reached my goal of 50 pounds per arm curling... (I can only do it once, but still I CAN do it). 15 REAL chinups. ..... err.... what else.... dunno.

I've just been here... A lot of new stuff going on (in my head) but not really anything I could post about... I wish I could say something though.... ^-^

Hey, at least I posted.

Cherry

2008-01-30T22:27:00.001-05:00

Yes, it's true. I just ate a cherry. I might have not gotten a chance if my mother hadn't gone shopping.

Notice how the day of this post says WEDNESDAY.

:D

Indeed, I'm alive.

2008-01-27T02:32:00.001-05:00

I'm here. I've seen comments.

Things going on here aren't postable. Sorry for the lack of reading material.

Today, I had a lan party over at Corey's house, we played Age of Empires 2... we played two games where (By popuLLar demand) everybody was against me (7 vs 1).

It's 2:00 in the morning, can't sleep. Sorry, 2:37

I'm off to bed. remember Oink.

I'm quite tired. don't mind me.

Check these out.

Hmm, I like this picture.

Howdy.

2007-11-29T15:04:00.000-05:00

Moo!

Interestingly, I feel some intelligence oozing out of myself, Math. Over the past few days, I've been really tearing it up in counter strike. You know why? Indeed you know why! Math! Algebra in specific, it doesn't just teach you how do solve math problems, but it trains your brain to think in ways as never before, quick thinking, smart thinking = CSS l337 pwnage.

Thanksgiving was good, in the morning me and a bunch of people of my church playing football in the morning. My team was winning at the start, but as my foot is still healing, I'm unable to run at full speed/jump. I had a bunch of interception opportunity's but I just couldn't make the play. Meh.
I got home and everybody was still in bed (slightly amusing), my dad got up and gave me a haircut because we were off to my grandparents to see the W-H-B clan. I love that food, Potato Salad, Turkey with rice and ground beef, Homus, MmMm MmM. After the food we sang hymns there's such a difference from last year, all of us guys have a deeper voice so many more people singing base.

We took some family pictures

The little guy :) " I hope they don't catch me poking this table cloth... OH NO I THINK THEY SAW ME"

The Grandparents

The full Clan ( - parents, the weird one and captain america.)

IT's that time again!

Lazy... Stu....... Teachers?

2007-11-02T10:55:00.000-04:00

Is it common practice for a teacher to fall asleep in any classroom? Is it common practice for Homeschooling moms to fall asleep in a classroom? OR is it common practice for MY mom to fall asleep in a classroom, and while I'm doing my work ask me to get her a "Blanky".

o.o

Post? apparently.

2007-10-31T11:12:00.001-04:00

I apologize for my absence, things have been going on over here less then appreciated you could say. Finding out somebody you look up to has flaws isn't always easy, not quite sure how that affected me so, strongly. It doesn't matter how old you get, or how much authority you have, you're still accountable to people, even the old people are too. Figuring myself out here! Gosh, give me a break. :) Interestingly enough, I've kept this to myself. My sisters wouldn't want to hear any of it, they like to talk about their problems, I guess thats what I'm good for, listening. My quiet self. I need to make myself more known? do people come to me and talk? Why am I apparently interesting? Or not, considering the fact that as soon as theres an opening, they jump to another guy. Ignoring me? Ugh.

I woke up this morning and took a shower, immediately after I came out of the bathroom, my dad rushes me to come see this math program, then they started talking about wildlife, and then even family's and Chinese cultures. All in 10 minutes!

What I failed to mention is this was Sesame street, they were talking about the number 2. (math)

Mr Noodle makes me shiver, he's so... Ugh. Anywho, I was sitting there watching, and I could feel my brain O_oing. Yeah thats right, o.Oing.

Posting about it again, but hey. That group I joined not too long ago "FuSioN" was very... Un-involved. We'd go into a match without any practice, because the leader was always playing this other game. Blah blah blah. So me and another dude decided to make our own clan called "`eVisCeraTe*." Meaning "To take without will" (something along those lines) aka BOOM!! So yes, I'm a group leader now. I hope it'll be good. Cheers to next season, At the moment we're forming a group and getting our practice in.

Der Der Der. Apparently I'm Sort of back.

I sound like a girl in this post, tee hee. :D jk

bah, sorry.

2007-10-23T10:47:00.001-04:00

The last break from blogging wasn't good enough. I need another break. sorry.

Toothpick/Robocop

2007-10-17T16:49:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I had my walking cast off.

Woke up at like 6:30 when the night before I went to bed at like 1:30am. Sliped over to the hospital waited for like 5 minutes in the waiting room, and then off to the cast room. I honestly had no clue about what was going on or whatever.

Cast room: Saw the same dude, that put my walking cast on he was nice and remembered me, and the nurse, Kristen. The "dude" got the cast off with a saw, the way it works is kind of cool acually, It's pressurized and vibrates to cut the fiberglass of the cast. Once the cast was off I looked at my leg, the atrophy of this 6 week time period is incredible, my leg looks like a "Toothpick" compared to my other. ( Pictures soon)

After the cast came off we hopped over to the X-ray, took an shot of my Ankle then back to the cast room for the Nurse to review as well as the Doctor. It's healing well as they both say, but it still is definitely broken and needs to go into an easier to manage cast called an "Air cast". The Air cast is a removable cast for whenever I want or need to remove it, may it be for a shower, bed or just chilling at home. Although, if I go places they said I need to wear this "Robocop " looking leg accessory for 3 weeks. (Bleechhh)

Last night I had a Counter strike match, my team won 20-10. Now we are 3-1 in the season. (That 1 game is a game I missed out on.) My new clan/group is called "FuSioN" Check out this page on the CAL website, for team Info.

School is where it needs to be, but I'm already ready for a break. Trudging through it, going to my Dads stupid office tomorrow.

From my lookout.

2007-10-17T16:13:00.000-04:00

From my lookout I've seen too many grudges being held, not just at me, but by Brothers and Sisters In Christ. Yes, the bible states forgive those who hurt you. Even if somebody doesn't apologize directly, truth is everybody screws up and if you hold it against them that friendship will be broken and slowly diminish. The Journey of every trial in your life starts with the first step, Grow up, resume talking to that individual or party and learn to forget. I'm not a harsh person, but I can be to try and snap people out of their juvenile behavior.

Everybody, Slap yourselves, wash your face, run into a tree a few time with you car, whatever if it I really don't care. I haven't said much only because it's not totally my place.
Until it involves me.

Not talking to anybody in specific just mentioning because I see too much of it.

For now

2007-10-14T14:56:00.002-04:00

I'm done blogging for little while. I'm not throwing a fit about anything, I just need a break from the computer.

Presenting

2007-10-11T15:43:00.000-04:00

What you've all been waiting for! (or what I've been waiting to post, either one :) I put a good share of time setting the clips and music to be timed correctly, it's not perfect. But give it a spin and let me know what you think, if you can't follow what I'm doing, or if it's too fast for you to see. let me know I'll explain a little about it to you.

(The music was the only thing that fit the video)

Keep in mind ALL Of the people in game that I took down were just like me and played from their computer. >:D

Sorry

2007-10-08T20:21:00.001-04:00

Sorry, just recently I just haven't had anything to post about. You could call it a "Writers block" although I'm not an author of anything. I've been at the computer and all (Meebo is giving me trouble again, I'm too lazy to fix it.(it might also be Meebo's server is faulty)).

I have some things going on in my life, it's not totally as boring as some people might assume. Most of it is just not postable material, the things I think and do aren't always things I'd like to write about. Recently I've gone back to my normal self, Or "Home" I frequently feel like I'm living in two different places Mentally. My normal self not being too talkative, and only talking if looked for. Alone as it would seem. With no real reason to be a blabbermouth, however "insightful" my blabbing may come across. Relaxed, carefree. My little home is still the way I've left it from the beginning of this summer. It will be inhabited for the next few years, or more (Maybe).

Tomorrow is:

2007-10-06T17:20:00.000-04:00

Church (With Snacks :D and Sunday school after)

Football ( I gotta see what everybody is so hyped up about.)

BoRing otherwise.

Food :D *pats tummy*

Dunno what else :| cause it hasn't happened yet, hah.

Vids

2007-10-05T22:04:00.001-04:00

here's a video that was taken after our first B-ball game of the season, everybody was having a great time. Just bein stupid lol

This was taken like 2 months ago, but you can also see how Nutcase Christine is :D

Christine and Nick get along so well. :P

Thanks to Rachel for taking it.

And then here's Eric debating with my dad as always...

sniff sniff

2007-10-04T08:40:00.001-04:00

Something I was thinking, you can tell you smell really bad once you see flies flying around you. Whoopsies :D

An interesting thing happened to me yesterday. Most of you know I play with a group of online people with counter strike mainly, and sometimes other games. one of the people in my "Clan" hates me he says I'm "Annoying" and would do anything to get me kicked out. Secretly he decided to start recording my game play from a spectator position, and finally he caught me playing at my absolute best. I went something like 40 kills and 1 death. Anywho, after a while he finally decided that the way he'll get me banned from the group is to send this recording into one of the guys in charge. One little problem here, this guy is in charge of the BATTLEFEILD 2 division of the clan and has not played counter strike in I don't know how long. Therefore he accused anything "suspicious" game play such as cheating and whatever right on the spot. AKA he wanted me out of the group. As of yesterday I was kicked out for "hacking", honestly I'll say this once, I'm too good for them, I really am. a bunch of the people like me and are trying to get me back in, or a few at least. even the head guy likes me, but he's not going to step over another person in charge say.

It doesn't look very hopeful of me getting back. But hey, it's the way life rolls gotta deal with the obnoxiously stupid/moronic people once and a while.

I've also come down with a cold as of two nights ago. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate stuffy noses? Sore throats, slight headaches do nothing to me, Just the stuffy noses *shivers*.

Under the sky of stars

2007-09-30T18:55:00.000-04:00

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.

New disclaimer for reading this blog. Take Notice.

2007-09-28T21:36:00.000-04:00

(press play)

Did I make somebody smile? :)

Apple picking.

2007-09-28T13:30:00.000-04:00

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 :)

YES! I DID IT! I FINALLY DID IT!!

2007-09-26T11:59:00.000-04:00

JUST LOOK AT THAT! WOoOoHhoo!!! finally!

Whoever wants to comment feel free :)

change.

2007-09-25T20:17:00.000-04:00

Ok! the Music is changed so I don't offend anybody, Long story.

Continuing my role as captain crash.

2007-09-24T15:54:00.000-04:00

*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.

2007-09-22T22:17:00.001-04:00

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.

Nicholas

2007-09-22T21:28:00.000-04:00

My cousin and (probably, MAybe... sort of... Depends) one of my best freinds got a blog, be sure to check it out Here

Final result.

2007-09-21T23:33:00.001-04:00

I just finished fixing a load of things for this blog, hope you all like it!

let me know if it needs anything else.

Hope everybody likes it.

2007-09-20T23:53:00.001-04:00

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.

2007-09-19T21:50:00.000-04:00

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

2007-09-19T21:42:00.000-04:00

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

2007-09-19T15:50:00.000-04:00

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*

Meebo problem fixed

2007-09-17T16:59:00.000-04:00

Sorry about not being on, I was having issues with Meebo, I think it's working now though! IT was funny because I had to redo some account things and whatever, and when I logged on I got a bunch of messages. I'm so sorry, I wasn't ignoring you on purpose!

But yes, it works now. sorry bout that

Alrighty, heres what the cast looks like

2007-09-15T22:24:00.000-04:00

Yesterday, I was sort of working out and Rachel snapped this picture of me. By the way, the casts name is "Rodent" Don't forget it!

I'm just here

2007-09-14T14:32:00.000-04:00

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 :)

2007-09-14T14:30:00.000-04:00

Has everything you need to know about what I did to my foot. I don't like what it says about the treatment, but it's very possible that will need to happen.

Sarah was right.

2007-09-08T20:25:00.000-04:00

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

2007-09-07T23:39:00.001-04:00

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

2007-09-05T15:36:00.001-04:00

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.

2007-09-04T19:03:00.000-04:00

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.

2007-09-03T12:45:00.000-04:00

B-Ball tonight at my house at 6:00. Whoever is interested.

If you need directions lemme know.

Rachel made this video, good stuff

2007-09-02T23:41:00.001-04:00

Eyes Comparison.

2007-09-02T20:28:00.001-04:00

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.

Blue

2007-08-30T23:24:00.000-04:00

Rachel tells me her eyes aren't blue... HERES THE PROOF!

MT. Washington pictures

2007-08-30T10:32:00.000-04:00

What do ya'll think eh? I took most of the pictures, my dad took the rest. I'm a little too lazy to put subtitles :D hope ya'll don't mind.

Silence

2007-08-29T15:49:00.001-04:00

How about a nice quiet blog? like it was when I first got it... Thats not a bad idea, now is it?

Another... Day trip... >.<

2007-08-28T11:13:00.001-04:00

My Dad really likes going on day trips, it's starting to get old though... Blah whatever. I'll be back late tonight.

Der...

2007-08-27T21:45:00.000-04:00

I'm one that thinks too much (I think) about "What do people think of me?! Should I of said that? was it my place? How could I have been so stupid to do such and such a thing? Do people really care?". This is one of the 'Benefits' (Sarcastic) of being the youngest, trying to be accepted when in the back of my mind I know I probably already am.

I'm going to TRY to say this once and for all, for my own sanity: I'm an easy going guy, I don't take offense to things easily, I try to care about what people think and tend to their needs as necessary. I never mean offense by anything I do or say, and if offense was taken... I'm a very approachable person, who is able to be told if something I did or said was offensive. Of course, growing up with so many older siblings, I usually know if somebody will take advantage of that.

I like to talk a lot on the computer... In real life ( I think) I'm quiet and I have to try to be loud.

It's nice thing receiving comments, it's not what I blog for though. Every time I see that somebody made a comment, I race to see what it says.

Going back to school next week... Blecchh, I like learning... I do.. really... just I don't like the way my parents do the homeschooling system, enough said... off that topic.

This might sound obnoxious but I don't mean it that way at all.

A while ago I had a conversation with a friend of mine over skype. I asked him if anything I ever do makes him or anybody else think less of me, he said (Which was honest and appreciated): "Sometimes" it went on and he asked me why I asked that, I told him: Because growing up with so many sisters... I feel like I don't know how to act like "My own kind" The terminology I used make him laugh. To this day I still remember that conversation and acually thought about it before I went to bed last night... I was annoyed at the fact that I probably know how to associate with girls better then guys. Three of my 4 sisters are going to college this next school year (As last year) and the oldest is married. Leaving me to schooling once again by myself and my parents.

[5 minutes past...] BAh, I forget what I was getting at... I guess I remember something to the effect of: Being "Shy"? (lack of a better word sorry) around my friends at church or wherever and not associating with them very much. and something to the effect of: Because of having many sisters I know sort of how to associate with girls (as friends of course) But what Parent would want some teenage boy hanging out with their daughter.

Thats my babbling for tonight. These are things I just need to deal with on my own.

Pics

2007-08-27T21:30:00.001-04:00

I took pictures of Karen with my dads new camera today, there was one of them I really liked Here it is.
Pretty eh?

After she wanted to take pics of me, she was happy with one of the pics and insisted I put it up.

John:

2007-08-27T20:36:00.000-04:00

Is Worried.

Has eaten a lot of watermelon today.

Is completly not looking forward to school.

Is eating tabbouleh :D

Is browsing through pictures.

Surprisingly doesn't feel like playing the computer.

*Hiccuped*.

Is thinking of some way to present something about his computer in a HSG meeting without going over 5 minutes.

Is done writing about things like that.

Ahh, it's good to not be 3'rd person anymore. I'm just here, not doing much.

Honker

2007-08-25T10:55:00.000-04:00

Thats the name of my new laptop that my father bought for me on Thursday. He wanted to get it for me because I'll be learning MATLAB this year as well as some other programming... Programs.
My desktop is a much better computer then this In term of performance, but this is a laptop what can you expect? It'd be much harder for me to lug my desktop everywhere, if you can imagine... although I've done it numerous times. Please don't think I'm spoiled, this investment was meant to help my school education this year, and what I'll be learning this year will also be critical for my degree when I go to college.

Here are the specs for anybody who cares.

CPU: AMD Althlon 64 x2 running at 1700 MHZ (1.7 ghz) running 512 kbs of l2 cache on each core (1 meg total)

RAM: 1 gig of DDR2 533 mhz.

Hard Drive: SATA hard drive 150 Megabits per second transfer rate, 5200 RPM.

Video card: Nvidia Ge-force 6150 mobile Shared memory, running it's own GPU.

OS: Windows Vista home premium.

Have fun translating that. :) The more enjoyable part of having a blog is posting something that will confuse your readers... Comment the first thing that comes to your mind when you read each spec.

I think I'm home alone right now... my sisters and mother went to a CPR class this morning at 9:00, and my dad I'm not quite sure. I havn't seen him this morning, he might be still in bed. Teehee Snoozehead :D

Side note. I have my own feelings, and made sure to just be a friend.

Hmm

2007-08-24T11:28:00.001-04:00

This is the standard beginning of a chat with Christine.

[11:27] Si1entMidnight: ew
[11:27] The TUVster: YUCK
[11:27] The TUVster: GROSS
[11:27] The TUVster: DISCUSTING
[11:27] Si1entMidnight: ewww
[11:27] The TUVster: *BARFS*

A saying in Arabic...

2007-08-23T18:18:00.000-04:00

Translated of course "Little is just enough, and a lot is to little." Ever feel that way? I know it's true for me sometimes. I'm content, I need to remember that.

White mountains

2007-08-22T23:36:00.000-04:00

I just got home from the white mountains It was good, although It's not really what I prefere to do my Dad wanted to go so the whole family went. Whatever needs to get done I just do. (going on a day trip with Dad is what needed to be done for his Sanity.) Dad and Mom have been really busy recently, which I appreciate and they really needed a break.

Whats a trip without first having some giggles in the parking lot? Sarah was having fun smacking me with a towel, can eating be considered fun?

Rachel (Towel fight going on, on the bottom left.)

Gotta love them pop tarts :D (Dad said something really funny, tis why I look like I'm about to cough)
Alright, enough of this... I'll take that.

Victory! My turn Blahaha.

Dad

Mom
Sarah

Karen.... with me stuffing my face in the background, I was hungry lol.

Most of the day was spent at a little stream thing (Not what the attraction was really supposed to be, but thats our family lol.) we were bouncing across the rocks leading to the other side. About 2-3 hours was spent there... Sarah has a tendency to fall in the streams whenever she tries crossing, my dad LOVES to snap pictures of her falling in and getting soaked (He also calls this "The Sarah Syndrome") Rachel and I are the only ones that managed to stay dry.

Whats this? Sarah's still Smacking people with that towel...

Mom trying to figure out if she should try to jump it.
Sarah and Mom prior to getting soaked due to that awful syndrome ;)

Whoops, there goes Sarah! (Gotta love my dads photography, Mom slips in soon after... too bad he missed it :D)

Sarah again a little more daring.

We then stopped at this thingamaplace where all of us bounced from pillar to pillar with some wooden pillars.

Good pic of Ra.

I'm a little airplane :D

Balancing act

I'll put some videos up later... it's 1:30 in the morning, All my sisters are watching some movie. I'm Zonked, I'll probably be around in the morning tomorrow. Then I'm off to my grandparents for a few hours of the afternoon, then maybe I'll be around in the afternoon... If some other task doesn't come my way.

VBS Last day skit

2007-08-20T20:14:00.001-04:00

I only posted two because the others weren't good quality. (I still don't know who was giggling when I gave "Leader Stephen" a hug... it was in the script don't ask me why though :P The script said something to the effect of "Give Leader a hug as if Captain crash were about to cry" thats why I had to do it all strange :P )

VBS video

2007-08-20T19:51:00.001-04:00

Some VBS pics (I'd post more pictures then just my own, but these are the only ones Eric sent.)

2007-08-20T19:30:00.000-04:00

CAPTAIN CRASH!!

Sophie and Rachel L got this picture with Eric's camera caught me off gaurd.
Captain crash!

I'm bored :|

2007-08-20T15:29:00.000-04:00

boredom is sometimes a good thing, it forces you to do things that you probably should do... like change the template of my blog :)

Hair cut!!

2007-08-20T13:11:00.000-04:00

I need a haircut, but every time I ask my dad "Dad can I have a hair cut please?" he asks "Which one?" AKA He's too busy to give me one.

lol

Today

2007-08-19T20:44:00.000-04:00

This mornings message was good, the pastor was talking about Peter and the time he went to catch fish and was out all night and didn't catch anything. I couldn't follow what he was getting at, I felt like he was going on rabbit trails. I believe though, he was getting at how we need to trust god to supply us with whatever it is we might need.

After the morning service me, Nick (Brother-in-law) and a bunch of other people tossed a Frisbee around.

I had asked Nick if he'd like to go biking and decided to. So we swung by my house picked up my bike, then headed over to his house, Rachel came along and spent time with Christine (The weird one ;) playing video games. While biking on the trail thats behind their house, there was a fork, Nick took the right hand side one one time while he was by himself so we decided to take the left one. Like 30 seconds after taking the left side, we hit a probably 2 foot deep puddle from the rain and accumulated over the past few days. The mud that was on the sides looked only about an inch deep so I decided to step into overdrive and go through it fast... Well it was deeper then an inch, and my bike couldn't go through, it was annoying because I was wearing sandals but whatever so I get em dirty I told nick I'd just walk the rest of the way through(At this point he was just sitting on the beginning of the puddle and didn't move untill he saw that I was going to make it through). Nick was giggling at me GIGGLE OF DEATH and looked the other way and said "Bah never mind come out and we'll go the other way" (the right side of the fork) I then said "Hey Uhhh Nick" he turns around and I'm Knee deep in mud. It was a funny situation I got myself in, but it was annoying to trudge out... Nick by the way is ROFLing at this point. I'm like whatever, so I just jumped in the puddle and washed the mud off, I think getting knee deep in mud made it all worth while. :P

When we got back to his house, nobody did anything much particularly. I was having fun watching their strange cat (I say retarded but Christine doesn't think so)

Some things it did today and almost all the time:

1. Drinks from the toilet

2.Flings litter from the litter box everywhere just for giggles.

3. Purs and growls at the same time while petting it (Wow, make up your mind >.<)

It's been good today :)

Text converstations

2007-08-18T21:59:00.000-04:00

I was talking to somebody and I was going on and on and I forgot to read if the person replied, but while I was going on the person asked me a question which I didn't see, and I was continuing to type oblivious. At the end it came out really confusing and It looked like I was replying to that persons messages but I really wasn't... it was really strange because it looked really weird.

Example in case you don't get what I'm saying:

Lets just say I was talking to my brother in law about Age differences and whatever, and I'm rambling on calculating the days and months and years (pressing enter to send the message after ever 2 or 3 words typed), and my brother in law jokes around and says so "so well when you're old enough I'll take you to a bar?" and I don't see it, and I say "Well, about 2 and a half years... heh no wait, well no because Such and such a month and this many days so 1 year 3 months" ETC It Makes it look like I'm saying I'm going to go to a Bar when I get older, when in the first place I'm not even realizing anything was said about a bar.

And now I read it, I totally didn't realize what I was saying until afterwards. I don't want to hurt anybodys feelings because I didn't mean it that way.

I know I know, this post is sort of a disclaimer.

Grandparents house

2007-08-17T16:05:00.000-04:00

I just got back from my grandparents house, Did I ever say that grandparents can be really awesome? My grandfather and grandmother are both 79, 80 in December. My grandfather still splits wood, when I got there he was acually doing it. Last year he whooped me in how fast he could split them, he could do them in one hit with the Maul I could do them in 3 hits.

This year I can split them in 1 firm hit (The maul is also dull), and they're not small, they're thick big tree size in radius logs. I've really grown since last year.

I know I've said this before, but I never realized how true it was until today. Some of the times, children are like their same gender grandparent on either sides. For me it is my fathers father, I might look like my dad but that is it. My father takes after his mother almost exactly in skin texture (Soft) eye color (Blue). I take after my grandfather in eye color (Greenish changing sometimes or blueish But almost always with a golden yellowish ring around my pupil) and skin texture (Rough skin). I also have my grandfathers build in terms of height he's only 1-2 inches taller then me, but in terms of Bone structure we're the same: broad shoulders, big hands and feet. We also have the same name minus the middle initial, His middle name is George mine is Nathaniel.

I'm so close close to my grandfather, we do everything together it's great. It also helps they live the next house over. ^-^

Allright, I'm ready to assume my role as Captain crash. Peace.

VBS thursday

2007-08-16T21:39:00.000-04:00

Todays VBS was good.

Captain crash looked like little kid today, as he was covered in flotation devices... the skits went well, Stephen and I both remembered our lines as they were supposed to be said (Which is new :)

Sarah had a Friend come today... Both of them soaked me, which is why in the last post I wanted to soak Sarah with the bucket of water.

Bah, I'm tired... Tomorrow is the last day of VBS... then a pool party on Saturday.

Dad and Mom are still out at work. I'm starting to hate the summers, nobody is ever online to talk with, I'm to young to drive to visit people (so I have to ask my sister) and I stay home half the time cause I don't have anything to do... also one of the reasons VBS is good, especially this year. I'm acually in civilization, with people that I have no social skills with.

I guess I don't really have any social skills, because I'm fairly quiet.

Ohh yes... EDITED ( Because at one point I made no sense :)

2007-08-16T21:05:00.000-04:00

So I'm walking with a bucket of water outside of my church tonight, Corey is standing at the door, When I call out to him and say "Hey Corey check out who I'm going to soak with this" I was planning on soaking my sister for throwing multiple water balloons at me today, I obviously wasn't saying I was going to soak him when he says "JOHN, IF YOU DARE POUR THAT ON ME... I'M BUSY WATCHING TO MAKE SURE THE KIDS COME OUT OF THE CHURCH ALRIGHT AND I CAN'T BE DISTRACTED" Lets pause there for a second and think about this...

#1 If we was so busy he wouldn't have been chatting with Molly.

#2 If he really thought I would dump water on his head while he was standing in the doorway at church... I don't know he was thinking.

Shall we continue? Yes, lets.

I firmly responded and said "Corey, quiet down... I'm not even going to dump it on you I'm going to dump it on my sister. If I'm kidding around you'd better, respond as it's a joke or Jam both feet in your mouth" At one point during this I caught myself firmly yelling... He says " FINE, I'M Busy THOUGH You're distracting me"

Bah, so he fired me up. I don't accept peers talking to me like that, especially if they're trying to
show off superiority.

It sounds trivial, but it upsets me even more because she was standing right there... how could I let myself fire up like that? I'm not just some guy that yells at people, I tend to usually be quiet.

Now I'm back to being captain crash. Teehee :)

Last nights dream...

2007-08-15T23:00:00.000-04:00

Have you ever had a dream, where at the end of it you're thinking, ok... I know I'm asleep, and I thought this was a really cool dream so I'm going to remember it so when I wake up I can tell people about it. After reviewing it and remembering it you wake up on your own will and remember trying to remember it but can't remember anything except that you tried to remember? (Say that ten times fast :D)

Well last night that happened to me, exept I didn't think it was a cool dream I just thought it was really stupid and worth sharing. (It did pass by my mind in the dream that I should remember it to post about it, just I wasn't sure if I wanted to...) I couldn't remember the dream untill I came home, because somebody or something I saw today reminded me of it. Not sure if it was a person or a thing honest...

Well, so it all starts in my house. I wake up one morning, brush my teeth eat breakfast (Neither of which I ever do when I wake up, (probably should of shared that *Inserts foot into mouth* :D)) I walk outside and it's a city, filled with people from church Except I notice everybody is in their underwear. They're all wearing Boxers! I think it's really weird but thought I didn't have the right to say anything, I mean 'Who am I to tell these people if they should walk around in their boxers? >.<' I keep walking and notice that I'm in Briefs! Goodness, and I really do hate briefs. Just I was the only one... and I felt really strange.

Have you also noticed that dreams jump from one thing totally into another thing completly unrelated? Well that happened to me also, Except that I'm not going to share what that was... I will say it was very nice though. ^-^

Vbs Wednesday

2007-08-15T21:42:00.001-04:00

Wow, There was a large number of kids at VBS today it was great. There was also a good amount of helpers, although we can always use as much help as possible considering we have about 3 times as many kids as expected.

Captain Crash really beat himself up today, there is a nice big slice in his leg after doing his duty. :)

A new helper Sophie was there, she really helped Sarah with the 4 and 5 year olds game time. Sarah needed the help considering she had a bunch of kids there.

I didn't notice you there Mrs B until after you guys were leaving, so I'll say hi now :)

I saw two of the dutts today, not sure where they went after the first 15 mins...

Corey being Coreying today, as always. :)

Yesterday, while doing the puppets we had to make the puppets snore so I let out my best snore sound. One if the kids was petrified by it and started crying his head off, starting a chain reaction resulting in all the kids screaming during the show. I was trying my best not to crack up... LOL

Eric and I were having fun Racing up and down the church parking lot, I WIN! :)

On my way to the car ready to get home, Sarah had a water balloon... Of course I jumped on the opportunity to Splat Corey with it :P

We had a total of 51 kids today, Wootzorz!

Oh yes, and Andrew was over this afternoon and I thought this pic was kinda funny...

Vbs

2007-08-14T21:56:00.001-04:00

So far VBS has been good, as I stated before I am doing the skits with Stephen Blake. I'm "Captain Crash" and Stephen is "Leader". Guys! Stop in and Watch the skits, they're funny. :) By the way, the only way to make the skits look funny I have to really beat myself up. Running into stuff, tripping, Rope around my neck... Yeahhhh ouchies.
I'm also doing the puppets.

I enjoy helping with VBS, just seeing the kids smile makes it all worth it. I mean, I'm still young but it helps me remember I was once their age.

Molly and Corey are funny, they keep stealing stuff from each other and threatening to beat the other up.

Today Grace Blake Threw a Water balloon at me, it bounced off my chest and dropped and landed on Molly's foot.

So far, this year we've had 3 times as many people as the previous years. It's been an answer to prayer, I really hope that we'll be good and work together. I want the Kids hearts to be touched, Whoever from my church or wants to come help. Be an example (A good one)

CAL

2007-08-14T14:47:00.000-04:00

Yes, my last post about my team I mentioned about us being 5-2. Since then It was decided that one of the teams we lost to were cheating, so now we are 6-1.

Tonight I have a match at 9:30, the team will consist of Me, Q, Manno, GRC and Chaka. We have a good chance considering we've been tearing it up in the matches. If we win this game we'll make it to the playoffs.

If you want to see the team go to and see our progress go to: http://www.caleague.com/?page=teams&teamid=147516

Karens Writing on Facebook

2007-08-13T21:50:00.001-04:00

Karen Wrote this, it was nice. :) Thank you Karen! Love you.

She didn't say anything about my Intelligence :( She must not think I'm smart... hehe

"Sibling Biographies"

In honor of my special siblings, I have dedicated a short biography to each of them. As I am typing these things about them, I am looking through various photos to keep me reminded of who they have been, who they are, and who they will continue to be. I have chosen three general words to describe each of these special people.

Christine is Energetic, Smart, and Bold. She has a way of breaking the awkward silences that others may create in social situations. Once she talks, everyone is immediately energized and ready for action! She is one of those people who would make the perfect auntie or grandmother; taking you wherever you want to go, and buying you whatever you want. Christine's style of smart extends beyond mere IQ--she makes it her buisness to be street wise, buisness wise, and fun wise. She likes to have fun, and wants everyone to be involved! She is not afraid to speak her mind, and will logically argue her points.

Sarah is Sacrificial, Motherly, and Determined. If Sarah knows that you want or like something, she will give you it, regardless of what it is. She would give you the clothes off her back if that is what you wanted (even her socks! :) She cooks delicious foods, reprimands, and loves--just as a mother would do! She is also a social butterfly, making many friends who love to laugh and be themselves around her. She has a strong sense of responsibility and value that can't be comprimised. She fights for what she believes and wants, regardless of the cost.

Rachel is Witty, Perfectionist, and Helpful. She has a quiet intellegence about her that must be experienced first hand. Whether it be the way she solves a problem or responds with a witty comeback, she is a funny treat! She also helps with whatever is needed by anyone, quietly working in the background or foreground depending on the task. She also does each task to the best of its ability; whether it be playing a piano piece or programming a computer. She has deep care for her friends and sisters, and is a great listener.

John is a Joker, Sensitive, and Strong. He loves to find the funnyness in any situation, and share those experiences with me even if it is a boring or annoying situation. Having the many sisters that he does, he is also sensitive. He constantly asks me what it is that women like, and enjoys attention from others. My brother also thrives on being strong--physically and mentally! He loves to play computer games that encourage him to stay on his toes, and he loves to weight train to keep his muscles in shape.

I love you all! You are my God Given family, and I would not trade you for the world (unless it was made out of chicken).

2007-08-12T22:40:00.001-04:00

Yeah, I havn't really gotten a chance to post the past 2 days...

Yesterday I went to Six flags, Everything was cool. Would you get mad at me if I were to say the Superman ride was boring? I had my hands up the whole time, The drop was probably the only thing that makes the ride worth it.

VBS starting up tomorrow, I'm playing a character by the name of "Captain Crash" Stephen blake plays a character by the name of "Leader" >.< Anybody feel free to come and laugh at my acting :P

Here I am sitting around, I'm extremely tired but I can't sleep. I hate it when I think about something and it won't get off my mind.

Yep, my BoRiNg LiFe. :)

Happy B-day Karen

Sarah is Begging for attention, and is nagging me to jump in the pool with her at *looks at the clock* 11:04 pm. Should I do it?

Yes, I will. Goodness, I'm going to freeze I know it thats ok though. BOO YAH!

Rachel is going to take pictures again, stay tuned.

-----------------------------------------------------
After... don't you just love our stupidity?

Getting ready to jump in. :P Neither Sarah or I were really flexing, just trying to look stupid hehe.

Sarah is about to kiss a frog that was swimming around in the pool.

CAL Match

2007-08-07T12:15:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I played one of my CAL "Counter strike source open" match of the season, my team won 17-9. We made most of our wins on the Counter terrorist side, the terrorists were only able to plant the bomb twice which gave them 2 of their wins.

The game is based off of rounds, the way the terrorists win the round is by: planting the bomb and having it explode after 30 seconds, or by killing off all of the Counter terrorists.

The way the Counter terrorists win is by: Defusing the bomb after it has been planted by the Terrorists, or by killing off the other team.

This game is very intense. I play for team "InfexXxious" which has about 10 people(Only 5 play during the matches) and right now we are 6-2 in the season.

Below are some pictures, I'll try to get some videos in to show you all the intensity.

Check out the awesome graphics. This isn't an only pistol game, I'm only holding onto one in these pictures because it's the starter weapon at the beginning of the half. The top picture I'm playing as a terrorist, and the bottom picture I'm a Counter terrorist.

Yikes

2007-08-06T18:44:00.000-04:00

I hate being short. ._. there's practically nothing short people can do better then tall people I don't like that handicap. bah oh well. I'll get taller... I hope. One of my doctors said something to the effect of "Everything about you has older characteristics, just you're short" LOL! At least he said I should be 5'9 in a year. wootz.

Randomness, I love it.

Oh yeah?!?

2007-08-06T18:29:00.000-04:00

Yesterday Eric and I were jumping over peoples heads, right now I'm on skype with him and he's saying he can jump higher! Can you believe it!? the nerve!

Sunday night with the HSG

2007-08-05T23:09:00.000-04:00

Food! aren't you already interested? :)

Google analytics has been giving me reports of the average visit lasting 20 seconds. Feel free to read the WHOLE post instead of skimming it.

For about 2 and half hours, me Eric and a bunch of peers from the HSG spent outside. (Missed Aaron who is in Egypt) I climbed a tire swing rope probably 20 feet below the part of the tree it's hung on, and climbed the whole thing and poked the branch. Yay! it was fun, I have rope burns and blisters on my feet totally worth it though. After we played the "Winking" game, I was chosen to be the winker 3 times. the first two times I did miserably and was caught shorty after I killed the first person, the third time I was able to get everybody out. (I think if they were paying more attention to the game I would have been out, I didn't feel I was doing anything especially different then the other times.) Most of the Fathers of the HSG were there.

We watched a movie called "Facing the giants", I have to say I enjoyed the movie as well. (Rumors were spreading that my mother cried :D tee hee) It was about a man leading an underdog football team. He then puts Christ as the center of his life and actions and to his team while struggling with problems at home. At the end they win the championship (of course :). There was a part where the team lost a game which cut off their chances of playing in the championship game. Right after I told my sister "Watch, they can't end it right there they don't have enough time to start the story of a whole new season and they haven't dealt with the loose ends. I predict the other team will be caught cheating giving them a second chance."

Afterwards Eric and I tried doing one of the exercises/preps that they used in the movie. We failed horribly the first time and decided to try it after we help clean up. Cleaning up was finished, and we tried it. Eric was on my back and I was ready to start moving, my mother interrupts and says "John I don't want you to hurt yourself" I said "Don't worry I'm fine" Then she says "Oh come on not now" I said "But I'm fine"... Let me just state that I usually would get right up, but I was only trying to reason because I didn't feel like knocking Eric off of my back because he was set just right. Maybe I should of gotten up immediately, and I will say I DO respect my mother, but me being her son I know how she talks to me and how I respond more then anybody. I've been several peoples houses where the son or daughter says something that sounds really disrespectful but it's just how they talk to each other, I don't think people can fully understand what I'm saying unless they try to see how people talk to each other. The comment made by another adult telling me to respect my mother abruptly got me on my feet, I still don't know if it was serious or not. If it was, You might be right that it was a lack of respect, but above is my defense.

Don't think that if somebody says something to me negatively I'll always write a paper on it. :) Criticism from adults is the way to be better! Wootz! (don't know how long I can keep that up but I'll try.)

During the Movie I must say I spaced out a little... I was laying on my back looking in the sky, the stars were beautiful. I was thinking about what I was going to do for a living in the future ( don't ask me why, I really don't know). I'd like to get into the sciences (maybe Electrical Engineering) for my Degree, and then to grad school for buisness. I'm still stuck if I want to go to medical school. My grandfather is urging me to, time will tell though. I have no way of knowing if the resources will be available then. I guess going into 11'th grade nearing the end of my high school education is getting to me...

I had a great time today. :)

Flip flop fight! (We're really smacking each other)

Midnight pool crazyness

2007-08-04T00:55:00.000-04:00

I was bored and Full of energy, so was Sarah. We decided to go the pool and take some silly photos Thanks Rachel :)

Comments! :)

Gotta have this in here: "I'm off to see the Wizard!"

*Gets ready to dive, Photo is taken* "Huh?"

How does the hair taste?

Water in the face! Sarah looks a little discombobulated in that picture..

Backflip! Dive... thingy.

It's a bird... It's a plane!! (It's Acually Sarah Flailing her arms rapidly attempting to fly.)
I'm no good at being Superman.

" Uhhhh Der? "

"What are we trying to look at?" "Not sure, keep staring we're getting a picture taken"

Casual stroll on the pool.

Embaressments that haunt

2007-08-03T22:41:00.000-04:00

Ever just say and thought about things that you've done that weren't particularly bad, but stupid or something you'd think " 'Oo..K' " that you've done Intentional or Unintentional? Brushing my teeth tonight I just stood there scrubbing while I thought of a few things, it's past and I really shouldn't think anything of it, just I feel so stupid/embarrassed. On the other hand though, I guess thinking about what I would think if somebody did things like I did, I wouldn't think much of it.

What about things that I've done recently? Should I just let it slide hoping people didn't notice? What if they did notice? and it's bothering them? I can answer that, talk to me about it. I'm not as nice in real life though, I bite and make funny faces. :)

I'm sitting here, at my computer. Messing around with songs, playing them twice as fast then normal, backwards, slowed down, amplifying certain parts ( example: Base)

A present from camp

2007-08-01T10:55:00.000-04:00

Was sent home with me, this 'wonderful' poison ivy has found a nice little home on my hands and chest and waste. The problem is the invitation was never given to it, it's very annoyingly keeping me up at night. So here I am walking around my house without a shirt on not to irritate it.

*Scratch Scratch Scratch* (or wishes at least)

Anybody got good remedy's?

Oh yes, when I put " 'example' " around a word, it means I'm being sarcastic. tee hee

Highpoint and Today

2007-07-29T21:28:00.000-04:00

I'm Home! Yes indeed I am, I had a great time.

I had 9 people in my A-Frame/Cabin including the counselor. Every morning we got up at 7:00, took showers had devotions then went to breakfast (The food was always delicious) then the whole camp met in a big structure with a roof over it called "The Pavilion". The first day we made small groups composed of multiple cabins, my small group was called the "Tenacious Tumbleweeds". After we met in the Pavilion in the morning we'd do small group activity's, everyday my team won one game and lost one game. Then we would head back to the Pavilion and listen to the morning message. The man that gave the sermons we called "Pastor Sam" he was outstanding after every session I felt spiritually refreshed. Each of the messages I felt pointed directly to me, I don't know why... just something about them I was able to relate to myself. I feel differently (In a good way) my perspective on some things has changed dramatically, while other areas I'm more aware.

I got my wish on Thursday, there was a storm in the distance I was watching from a hill. The breeze was in my face, and I was able to think about life. At one point I was able to see the rain approaching me and seeing the lightning in the distance. I just closed my eyes and felt so blessed. I cannot emphasize how magnificent it was.

Matthew blobbed me, and I went sky high. I'll post some pictures that Aaron sends me of them later.

Nobody in my cabin was able to beat me arm wrestling it was either a draw or I beat them.

I probably lost like 10 pounds :D

I was browsing through some pictures today (Not of the camp) and I saw a picture where it looked like I had my arm around somebody, I was baffled because I didn't remember. I took a closer look and zoomed in I saw my hand behind myself, if anybody saw it, No worries.

Today we went on a day trip, some pics.

Tell my My father on a Motorized scooter doesn't look funny.

Karen
Sun was in my eyes, I also Didn't have a hat to tip ;)
On the way home, I was looking out the window, I saw this beautiful picture Opportunity. Tell me what you think.

Yesterday

2007-07-21T10:11:00.000-04:00

Was an interesting day at the B's VBS, when I got there I was chosen to be in Rachel L's crew. I felt bad telling the kids to do things considering I was only there for one day, and they don't even know me. At the beginning of the day, when a certain song was sang to put their hands on my back and "Hold On" they didn't do it to me, but at the end they mustered enough respect for me to do it. The songs were fun, although I must admit I felt kinda funny flailing on arms in the air during them. During game time we played a strange game that seemed homemade, where you take a Broken in the bottom bottle of water and move it over your teams head, then run to a bucket with wet sponges and throw them at the other team. Then we played a game where you had a ball and had to throw it at a wall call somebody's name and then run to their seat before they pick it up, half way through this game, Johnathan (The Kid with Sports blood running through his vains) Whipped the thing over the roof of the church LOL! we had to play a game from earlier, I must admit that the lady doing the game time was not to happy.

At the end of the day, they had everybody helping go up front, I felt like an idiot going up because I was only there for 1 day... Rachel Called me up so I had to go. Afterwards all the helpers that were from the HSG were chillin' outside, runnin around, talking.... occasionally picking water fights. it was good :)

Grr

2007-07-19T22:46:00.000-04:00

Church and Growing up/Dealing with it.

2007-07-17T20:41:00.000-04:00

The Sunday morning service was, interesting. I wasn't completly able to keep up with what the pastor was saying, he was preaching from Revelation ( I was very impressed about might I add ). He talked about what we'll have or not have in heaven. We won't have anything to be afraid of I believe what his main point was. He did at one point touch on the fact that there will be no marriage in heaven, and marriage being something only on earth. He didn't use scripture to back it up, but he could have talked about the men that went to Jesus and gave him a scenario where a man? married a woman, then she died, then married another then she died, then married another then he died, who will he be married to in heaven. I know if I were to ever get married, the thought of not being together forever would get to me, but in heaven I'm sure my perspective would change.

I was kind of spacing out and in to the service, but thats about all I got.

I came to some thinking recently, I know many people my age are probably going through some tough times due to growing up. There is no such thing as a perfect child, maybe examine yourselves and realize that your situation is not misunderstood by your parents or friends. The bible talks about nothing new being under the sun, you're parents have been your age once too. Growing up is normal and you should never feel like it's a curse, it's one of the few major milestones in ones life and shouldn't be taken lightly.

There is also no such thing as a perfect parent, the true goal of a parent during such a time should only to be somebody to lean on and to watch as an example for adulthood and for correction when necessary. Most parents don't misunderstand their child's situation, just don't totally know how to deal with it. That shouldn't discourage you, it can be a process that both sides work on together.

Hope I'm looking too much into anything, I feel like I'm barely skimming it.

Don't get mad at me please :)

Random thought: Why is it Mothers and Fathers other then your own are always the coolest? Please somebody tell me...

Sorry for grammatical errors. I hope that people understand things from my point of view.

Comments totally welcome and wanted.
