Here Without You

Here Without You, by 3 Doors Down:

A hundred days had made me older
since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
and I don’t think I can look at this the same
But all the miles that separate
They disappeared now when I’m dreamin' of your face

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight it’s only you and me

The miles just keep rollin'
as the people leave their way to say hello
I hear this life is overrated but I hope this gets better as we go

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go
it gets hard but it won’t take away my love
And when the last one falls, when it’s all said and done
it get hard but it won’t take away my love

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
And tonight girl it’s only you and me

I’m here without you baby
but your still on my lonely mind
I think about you baby
and I dream about you all the time
I’m here without you baby but your still with me in my dreams
but tonight girl it’s only you and me

I love that song.

Cow Economies

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
.
A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of anordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cowcartoon images called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide.
.
A GERMAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
.
A BRITISH CORPORATION You have two cows. Both are mad.
.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.
.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
.
A SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.
.
AN INDIA CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them.
.
A CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.
.
AN ISRAELI CORPORATION So, there are these two Jewish cows, right? They open a milk factory, an icecream store, and then sell the movie rights. They send their calves to Harvard to become doctors. So, who needs people?
.
ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back,with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned bythe majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. No balance sheet provided with the release.

Changin' the post titles

I wanted to post something, but I wasn't sure what to put. I guess I'll just kinda ramble on. oh. This one guy in BK, as he walked passed David and I said, "excuse me brethren." And I was like, whoa, did that guy just say that? He looked like a skill lube guy... weird. anyway. was shopping all day... fun stuff. Got a suit. yeah... going to a banquet with Bon and needed one. So yeah, I got one. but yeah and stuff. I'm quickly running out of material to write on. That's why I don't post that much... at all. Oh well. Maybe later... yeah...
.
Oh yeah. I decided to change the names of my posts from just being a random number. That got kinda old after a while. but yeah. oh well. and stuff... can't forget that....

Isn't the color grand?

Sr. High Retreat tomorrow!! It's going to be great. These last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic: David getting his wisdom teeth out, the construction on our house,... school. I'm glad that the retreat is finally here. There's disc golf there! How cool is that? It's great. I need to hone up on my disc golf skills, so I'm probably not going to do to swell; but oh well! It don't matter, I'm going to have fun all the same. Anyway.

Can't wait 'til next weekend; it's going to be Freed's homecoming and Bonny's going to be in the play. So I'm going to go see that. And then the next weekend Bonny gets to come back for Thanksgiving, so that's real cool. I can't wait until Thanksgiving either. Mmm Mmm, good food. It's a great holiday. But yeah. Well, I think I'm done blogging for right now.

The English Language

.

Our language is messed up. It's all weird and stuff. I mean, someone just took a buncha words from different languages and mixed all together and *poof* the english language. Ok, so maybe it isn't that bad, but it's pretty close. And take a look at our alphabet. Half of it is useless. Take c for example. It either sounds like a k or an s, or is part of ch. It has no special use of its own. Then there is x. It always sounds like ks or sometimes a z. Once again, no use of its own. And y. It bugs me too. It has its own purpose when used in its consonant form, but it also sounds like an i sometimes. And g steals another letter's sound even though it has its own sound because it sounds like a j manytimes. And there's q too. How come it always needs a u? Why don't we just spell things with a kwu or a k in some words. And the vowels. They all have like, a billion sounds for each one!! And not only that,they overlap all over each other! It's a crazy mess. We need to just have a letter for things like th, sh, and ch; cut c and x out of the alphabet; and make letters have only one sound each. All the vowels sould have only one sound particular to it; make new letters if need be. It would be easier to learn a larger alphabet then have to learn all of the different ways letters sound depending on what word they're in. And that's another thing. Our words are all confused. Many words sound the same and are spelled different, adding much confusion. Some words are spelled totally different then the way they are pronounced. And what's up with silent letters?! Like in island. What does that s add to the word. Or all these silent g's and h's. Our language is all messed up.

I got a new weapon. I love weapons. They're so cool. This one is a naganata, a Japanese glaive. A glaive is a spear-like weapon with a long (21 in.) slashing blade instead of a short point. The handle is about 3 1/2 feet long; a little short for a glaive, but still a polearm (polearms are weapons with long, rod-like handles and a blade on the end [e.g. halberd, spear, glaive, etc.]). It's actually a pretty good quality weapon. It's haft is solid wood painted black. It has a small amount of gold highlights, nothing gaudy or overdone; and it has a sheath. The sheath also is black painted wood, with a Japanese dragon etched into it. The weapon looks really cool. It's got a good feel to it too.

.

Now all I need is a scimitar (or rapier), a gladius, an axe, a dagger (or two), and maybe another shortsword or longsword. It would be cool to have a halberd, but they're really long, so it might not fit into my room. A kukri would be a cool addition to any sword collection too.

Wow, this last weekend was awesome!! Bonny came home. I got to hang out with her alot, which was cool. Yesterday was the devo, but apparently Brandon was sick (get better soon!) so he wasn't there needless to say. The singing, as a result, was not so great. I played two games of chess against Aaron... lost them both, but hey! who cares!? Yeah, that was fun. Today was ok, I guess. Didn't do any school because of the construction in the back yard. Makes it a wee bit hard to concentrate. We're adding on the the house, so they were doing the preliminary foundationwork today. I don't get a fall break, which is a bummer, and I have a paper that's do this Friday and I'm stressing about that because I'm so not ready for it. ugh. I hate writing. Well I depends on what it is I'm writing I guess. But yeah. Anyway. Got to talk to Bonny on da phone this evening like I always do. Yeah. I never imagined I would use the phone as much as I now do. It's crazy. I'm on it like, every day. Well, that's all I have now. Blog tomorrow I guess.

Yo. Yesterday was Wed. so that was cool. I like goin' to church and all that. Good stuff. After church we went to Claire's (not the store), played cards, baked cookies, and watched Starsky and Hutch (That's actually a pretty funny movie). That was fun. Then there's today... lets see... um, school. Then to the gym, and then some D&D with Devin and David and Dad. Had some fun there. But yeah and stuff.

Ok, guys. This is partly the end of the above message, and partly the rundown of today. But yeah. Well, yesterday Dad and Dave and I did some practice driving at the UAH disc golf course. I can actually get some decent distance when I hold the disc right, stand and run up correctly, bring my arm around right, release at the right time, and throw strait and not up in the air... yeah, it's alot to do, but it's fun anyway!! It's not really all that hard once you get used to it. After I got back I called Bonny and got to talk to her for a while. That was nice. But yeah. Today I had a headache all morning and didn't really do school until after lunch. Oh well, it happens. After school I went to the gym. Loads of fun there. Now it's almost time to eat so I'm going to stop and go do that. Talk to all yous guys later.

UGH!! I'm so perturbed right now. I got the ACT results from Freed today. I got a 26. A 26!! I dropped a point! Not only am I perturbed about the fact that I got the same score the first two times I took the freakin' thing (27), but now mad about the fact I did worse this time. The first time I took it, I knew I had to take it, so I did and wasn't specifically opposed to it. The second time I didn't really care. (the reason I didn't care was because I was rather depressed at that particular period in time). Then, this time, I really honestly cared and wanted to get a good score. But I did worse! I try to do good and fail. It seems that I do better on things if I don't really care; and worse when I try. It's depressing. Now I'm mad, annoyed and perturbed. The reason I wanted to get a good score because I want to go to Freed (I know what you're thinking, I want to go to Freed because it's a good school, and a Christian one at that; not only the fact that Bonny's going there). Anyway. I probably won't be able to get a scholarship for Freed 'cause I'm stupid, but I'm probably going to go there anyway- even if I am in debt the rest of my life. Well, I'm done venting for now.

It's been a couple days since I've bloggered. RUSH was great. Got to see Bon again, so that was cool. The classes and lessons and all were uplifting. I had to dog-sit Samson, Adam and Sarah's doggie, the last two nights. I didn't get to get too much sleep, but oh well. So today I've been rather tired. I didn't do too much school work today, but that's ok! I had a follow-up for my wisdom teeth-ectomy this afternoon. It was all A-ok. It was funny because I was in and out before the actual appointment time. Afterward I went to Wal-Mart. The only event of consequence there was that little kid with his hair in a mohauk (or however you spell it). That was bizarre. Later in the evening I went to the gym and there saw a hullet. It was a great one, and very well combed. But yeah. We later went to Books-a-Million. On the way there, I saw a toilet by the road... interesting. But yeah. That's today fer ya. A day of interesting sights. Oh yeah, there was another thing that happened today. On the way back from the gym, I tailgaited this certain van. This certain van (I do believe) just so happened to be the van that belonged to and driven by a certain police officer's wife. I didn't really realize it until it pulled into our neigborhood and went toward the policeman's house (I previously new that his wife was handicapped). It kinda scared me when after I pulled into the driveway, I noticed that the van had stopped as if to see where the person would go that was tailgating them. I shrugged it off, and went inside. Then, while in my room readin, I heard a car and looked outside: only to see a police car driving slowly in front of our house. He was going real slow and my heart rate quickened as he passed. Thankfully he continued and drove on by and didn't pull into the driveway... whew. I was like, "...dang it..." But it turned out ok... I hope. I hope that we don't get anything from him in the mail. Eh, that would be bad... no more driving fer me. Well, that's my story, and now I'm done.

D&D

If anyone wants to learn to play Dungeons and Dragons (a paper based RPG(roll playing game)), let me know. I am working on a campaign to send some peoples on. I know Stephen will want to play (he already knows how it works), and I'm going to force Kenneth to play, but if there is anyone else, they are more than welcome to contact me.

.

D&D's a game where you play a character you make. It is a fantacy game inspired by Lord of the Rings (it's not a new game. but I can elaborate later). I would be the DM (Dungeon Master) who runs the game, pitting you up against evil foes, granting you special powers, and laying your destiny before you. It's fun, and easy! Your character can be anyone you want him (or her) to be (with certain limitations of course). You can choose from a number of races, including dwarves, elves, and halflings (hobbits). There are many classes your character can choose from: a ranger (think Legolas or Aragorn), a fighter (think Gimli), a wizard (think Gandalf), a monk (think Jacki Chan), and more.

.

Well, contact if you're interested!

Some People (cont.)

There are those people that don't really know how to woo a girl. They think they're so cool and try to act all slick and do this and that, but really end up looking like a fool because what they are doing is childish or imature. They're all "touchy" and despite the fact that girls don't like being constantly hugged or back-rubbed or massaged or the whole "guess who" thing and most definitely being stalked. You try to tell them, but they just push it off and seemingly don't care. It really annoys me. These people don't seem to want to realize that they have built themselves a bad reputation and that no girl likes them. You want to help them, but they are unhelpable. They dug themselves into a pit and can't get themselves out, at least not with some major serious work. They go and ask every girl they can think of out. Why? They can't really like that many people. That in itself would make it difficult to actually get a girlfriend because that makes it appear (and more than likely, in most cases it's true) that they don't really like that person, they just want someone to call their girlfriend. Girls aren't just an item to be possessed and kept at your side; they're people too. Their "bubbles" should be respected and these people shouldn't just go around being "touchy".

Well, that's my two cents for today on this topic. More coming soon; or email me at hasntbeenused@knology.net.

This morning I really didn't want to get up. It was 9:30 so I got alot of sleep, but it was just one of those times that I just really didn't want to get up. But I did none the less. After rising and eating a bit for breakfast, Dave and I began a rock displacement procedure upon the pebble paths of the garden (we moved the rocks to a different place). It was really hot and it was a wee bit tiring to move a whole buncha gravel. But oh well. Thankfully Mrs. Burgess needed to get in the church building, and she called my dad because we have a key (I have a key), and so I got a break and went to the building and vegged in the AC while I waited for them. That was nice. Then I came back home and finished what part of the project was left. After completing the task, I came inside and played around on the computer, waiting for Seth to get over here to play disc golf. Then we played disc golf at Braun Springs disc golf course. I didn't do too hot. I got 1 over on 4 par. But yeah. It happens. That brings me to now. Now I am just sitting at the computer (obviously) typing a post and waiting for Dad to get out of the shower and go to Smokey's to get the food. Yeah. Well, that's it for now.

BUT WAIT! There's more!... not really

But yes, there is! I forgot to say that we saw a hitman today! It was when Dave and Seth and I were comin' back from disc golf. We can't confirm it, but why else would a black guy be strolling down the road in a black suit? Needless to say, we gunned it outa there before he started bustin' caps.

Some People

Don't you hate it when there are those people that really get on your nerves, but you can't say anything to them because then they will think that you are their worst enemy and they go off and alienate themselves? You try to tell them why they get on people's nerves, but they won't listen, they just shell up and keep to themselves. It can be frustrating when you are talking and everything they say is stupid, but you can't convince them that what they said is stupid, because they think that they always should be and always are right. It's especially annoying when it they finally do something good and get people to stop talking about something, but then they go and infer things about it and when you tell them to stop they convince themselves that you are calling them a ringleader and condemning them, when in reality you are just pointing out the fact that they are being hypocritical. It's also rather perturbing when you are trying to "un-shell" them, get them to start talking again, and when you finally do, they get all stupid and immature again and you tell them to stop, and then they convince themselves that the world is against them again.

Well, this is all I'll say on this topic again. Stay tuned for more information, or email me at hasntbeenused@knology.net.

Hey, guys. Man I'm sooooooooooooooo (slightly exaggerated) glad that it's the weekend! I hate school. Geometry isn't that bad; right now it's as easy as cake. But chemistry.... UGH!! I have to memorize like, a billion things. It's hard and confusing at the same time!! I mean, how much worse than that can you get? It's crazy. And we don't even get to blow anything up because we're homeschooled and don't have a lab. Such a bummer. American Government isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It's ok I guess. Nothing terrible, just a little dry. Then there is grammer and composition. The grammer part is like, what I've done for the past 18 (approx. value) years of my life. The composition is just stupid. I absolutely hate writing papers and crap. I have to write this silly vocationaly paper thing. So pointless. The only reason we write papers in high school is so we can be able to write them in college. But why do we write them in college? Everyone in the world isn't going to write a book, and most of those that do most likely refer back to their old books to see if they are doing it right. And how many jobs will make you write papers? I'm talking like, a "vocational" paper, or a short story, or a freakin' book report. I mean, c'mon now. I understand that alot of jobs will have people writing something or another, but alot of the crap that they make you do in comp. is just silly useless crap that most of the population won't ever need. It should be that if someone wants or needs to take that class he can, but otherwise forget the crap. Oh well. I guess I'll just have to get over it and do it for now.

I have one thing to say: there are those that can sing, and those that can't. Those that can't shouldn't sing as if they could. It just doesn't work that way.

Then we went to bored.com and broused around. We found some pretty funny stuff. If ever you are bored, just go there (I linked it as you can see). Before I knew it, it was 1:00. haha. Didn't get too awefully much sleep. Oh well. I've had worse. Today was my first full day with contacts. I got them yesterday. It's different. I like it though. Good stuff.

A Lullaby for Your Friend

~~A Lullaby for Your Friend~~

When she's crying on your shoulder
And you don't know what to say.
Just whisper softly in her ear
That everything will be okay.
When she says her heart is broken
And her soul feels all alone,
Just tell her that you love her,
Just tell her on the phone.
When you hear her breath so gently
And see tears fall from her eyes,
Wipe them one by one away,
Tell her everybody cries.
And soon she will look up at you
And maybe start to smile,
And thank you just for being there
Through all the painful while.
And you'll look down in her golden eyes,
And know just what to say:
On you she can depend
And everything will be ok

Rock, Why Do People Say it's Bad?

Rock music. Many people like it. But what's wrong with it that's not wrong in other forms of music? Yes, as one who likes the aforementioned music type, there are songs and artists that sing bad songs and promote sinful ideals. But so do other forms of music: country, pop, rap, etc. Rock has good songs too; not just these evil communist songs. There are many people who, for some reason, think that rock is the spawn of hell. Take the writers of A Beka books for example. They said today that rock music leads people into communism, and in the past they have blamed it for such things as political turmoil, emotional problems (i.e. depression), and health issues such as hypertension (high blood pressure). One cannot just take one form of music and say it is wholly evil just because of its past and its roots. So what if the hippies were the first to write and sing rock music, those that write and listen to it now aren't. As I said earlier, there are good songs that are classified as rock. Sure there are depressing songs, but country also has them. If you only take one form and say it is bad for one reason, well, that's like saying the entire human race is evil just because Joseph Stalin murdered millions of people. That's generalizing. These people that dislike rock (most probably haven't even ever heard any rock in there lives), they overlook the fact that other forms are just as bad or even worse. Country has songs that have a good meaning or story, but it also has bad ones. Pop, well, just look at Brittany Spears (or don't). And Rap, alot of it is bad. I won't go as far as to say that rap is bad, because then I too would be generalizing as they, because there are songs that are rap in style that I like. Now I'm not saying that everyone needs to like rock; everyone has their own opinions and taste, but I am saying that people should know what they are talking about, not just generalize or judge falsely in ignorance.

Required Foreign Language

This is commenting on the fact that a foreign language course is required. But why? There isn't really any good purpose for it. I mean, c'mon. I could understand if someone was planning on getting a job in the future in which they would need it, but I think it's safe to say that on the most part, almost everyone won't need the language they study in school, much less remember it. but you not only have to do one year, but two stinkin' years of it. It's pathetic. Some people may like it; let 'em do it, but for those people that aren't going to be translators or foreign ambassadors, let them take classes they'll need, not some useless waste of time. I mean, if they aren't learning anything, and they won't remember what little they do remember, then why force them to do it, considering it has no useful purpose. Oh well. I guess we'll just have to get over it and choke it down for now. chow fer now.

It's been awhile since I have posted anythin'. I thunked that I might just do that. Not too much has happened really. Boring life and all. I just sit at home and do school, then do whatever. My geometry book is so freakin' ambiguous. I mean, it'll say somthin' that could mean like, three things. It's really annoying. Stupid freakin' A Beka books. And what kinda name is A Beka anyway? I mean, really. Anyway. Oh yeah. I have to take this stupid driving course thing to lower our insurence. It's going to be really annoying. I have to take 30 stinkin' trips and log 'em. I mean, c'mon now. It's goin' to get really old really fast. Well, I think I'm going to go now.

Doctor's orders

Chocolate is good for the mind. A shower is good for the body. And sleep is good for the soul. Those three things are the key to recovery from anything. My friends, I am not the only one who advocates this philosophy. Many others have found, and now utilize, its power to heal. Consult your friends, spread the word, take hold of the simplistic power to recover from hurts only you yourself can mend. Find it in yourself. I shall part by saying this proverb in the ancient Greek tongue, "Ekeis kalan haymeran". Which, in simple terms for the laymen, it holds the meaning: "have a good day".

If you are confused, all I said was, when you are depressed or need to just relax: eat chocolate, take a shower, and take a nap. It's that simple. If you don't have any chocolate or you are allergic thereof, then I pity you and hold sympathy at your existance.

well, today was, well, it was... um, rather uneventful. Nothing really cool happened today. I got to talk to Bonny, that's always good. More school. Fun stuff there. At church, the speaker guy never ceased smiling. It bugged me. He woulda made a good car salesman. But yeah. I walked home from church and saw a shooting star. That was cool. It was a nice one too. Really long and bright. Well kiddos, I think I'm off. Don't hurt yourselves.

sup dudes. Not too much happened yesterdy. I did get to talk to Bonny though, so that was good. I'm glad that we can still talk to each other. It makes me happy. Well, we started school yesterday. No real fun in that. It's pretty simple so far though. I hope it stays that way. Today was pretty average in itself. I did get to talk to Bon again. I guess that's the third day in a row, now. It most likely won't stay that way, though, unfortunately. But yeah. School was pretty strait forward today too. No real news. Well, I think I'm going to go because I don't have anything else to say.

Message #34-36

Hey you guys. I didn't get to blog last night because I wasn't here. Yesterday was a rather sad day: Bonny headed off to Freed. I got up early so I could see her off. Got there and helped her get some stuff organized and in the Escape. She gave me a couple pillows. One was a micro-bean pillow. That thing is cool. It's really weird, but cool. And the other is a crocheted pillow she made for me. I absolutely love it! And it makes it all the more special that she made it herself. I'm going to treasure it forever and ever... that's a long time. But yeah. She headed off. They were only half an hour behind schedule, so that's good I guess. On the way there to Bon's house I saw a Plymouth Prowler. That's a cool car. Don't see that many of 'em. They're kinda interesting, and very unique looking. After I got back home from Bonny's house I ate lunch, broke down, and took a nap. I was exausted. Dad fixed the baptistry from where it had overflown. Actually, it was Adam and dad. Adam needed the help, because it wasn't really a one-person job. So they did that. That night, after I got up from my really long nap we had some company over. It was Anthony and his girlfriend, Devin, Mrs. Donna, and us. It wasn't a huge group, but our house isn't really the biggest house, so groups can feel real big real fast. After the meal, I headed out to Devin's house because he invited me over there to play D&D. I ended up spending the night. Anthony was there. Well, duh, he's Devin's roommate. Chris Meacham came and hung out and played with us. We played until around 1:00 or so. I slept on the couch. It's actually a pretty good couch to sleep on, but I didn't sleep that well since Bonny had just left that morning, so that was weighing heavy on me. This morning I got up around 8:00 or so to be able to get a shower in time to leave for church. It ended up that Devin took a little longer than he wanted to so I ended up leaving my stuff at his house for lack of time to put it in the car. Morning services were really different without Bonny. I missed her singing next to me, then I started to think about her and came close to breaking down in the middle of the opening song. That would have been awkward. After church we went home to eat, although I really wanted to go out somewhere. When I ate I went back to Devin's to get my stuff I left at his house. I got there and knocked on the door; no answer. A couple minutes, knock and no answer. I did that about like, five or six times and decided then to just walk on in. Turns out that he had been sleeping. But I got my stuff and left him to his sleep. After I got home, I left with dad and Dave and played disc golf. I had a bad game as usual, but it was fun anyway. While we were disc-golfing, Bonny called. So I called her back when I got home. I had to leave a message on her answering machine. Then she finally got ahold of me and we got to talk, although it was only for a couple minutes because there was something she had to go to. But at least we got to talk alittle: ) Church tonight was youth night. Joseph Kelly did the sermon. I led a song. Number 23: Our God He is alive. I love that song. I guess I did ok considering two different people told me I pitched it perfectly. So that was cool. Brandon made me commit to doing song leading at L2L. Maybe I'll do ok in that. Anyway. After church a small group of us went to BK to grab a bite. I was going to walk home, but Brandon made me ride with him. Oh well. I'm going to walk home one of these days. I will, I promise myself that. That's pretty much it for yesterday and today. Wow, I never knew I would ever be able to write this much. crazy.

Message #51

Sup yall. Today started off with me being so peacefully being awakened by... the freakin' telephone. No one answered it, so it just rang and rang and rang and rang, etc. But yeah. I just layed there hoping to fall asleep, but I didn't. So I stuck a cd in my cd player and just lay there listening to music. After about five or six songs I decided to just get up. So I did. Then Karen and Mrs. Donna left to go pick up Anthony at the airport because he flew in today. But it turned out that his plane didn't get here until late in the afternoon. But he made it. So that's good. Oh, I finished my book today. The dirty worded one. Midway. It was pretty good overall, but the language really really bugged me. You can't read over that crap. You'll try to skip it and just run into it a couple of words later. I can say from imediate experience that the whole "you are what you watch, or read, etc." is very true. A couple of times I caught myself before I said something that I shouldn't. It's bad, I know very well. ugh. It makes me mad that I had to read that. I need something to clear my mind of all that filth. Anyway. Today my computer (I say my computer. It's not really mine, but you know what I mean) locked up for absolutely no reason at all. Dad looks at something on the internet, closes the window, and the computer freezes. Then I called it a bloody piece of junk. It's not very nice, I know, but it frustrated me because I was trying to do stuff on it. It's so old. We really need to update it and our operating system. We still have Windows 98 for cryin' out loud. '98 was like, six or so years ago. That's a long time when it comes to computers. Well, I guess it works for now I guess. I can do what I want on it. At least we have a computer. I played this weird game today. It was some online game called Rune Sword or Rune Search or Rune Somethin' or other. Like every peron on the screen was an actual person, except a handful of NPC's (that's Non-Player Character's for the un-informed as to what that meant). I walked around aimlessly. The quest I was supposed to do was confusing, and I had no clue where to go. I traded everything I had to this one guy cause I was really bored. Then I begged the surrounding people to kill me... no one did. So I just closed the window in utter boredom and got back online and talked to people and checkded my email like I always do. Tonight was the TNT. Well, I'm not sure if was a TNT or just an areawide. It was hard to surmise. I heard it called both. Anyway. It wasn't anything special. I ate more than I usually do at things of that sort. That was weird. Oh, and there was this weird little girl that kept wanting to take people to "jail". She dragged me off (almost literally) to her place that she designated as jail where stood Chris and this other girl. After standing there for like, thirty seconds, I plotted a deversion and let the girl escape; and while the Jail-master Nazi-girl was quarreling with Chris, I made a run for it. Then after a couple of minutes she persued me and chase me around the house like, three times. whew. It was crazy. Then there was the devo... First, the singing wasn't up to par. I couldn't sing with Matt and Chris standing right behind me, and the speaker system was inadequate so we couldn't hear the song leader. Then the speaker gave a really long spill that involved alot of boats, water, and life-lines; I'm not too sure, my mind kinda wandered and my legs were about to fall off having to stand up the whole time. Afterwards we got on the buses and went back to the church. From there I drove Bon home, came back here, checked my email, IMed some people, wrote this, and listened to some music. I had better head out now. It's nearly 12:00 and I'm going to get up early to see Bonny off tomorrow. Blog to you guys later.

Message #53

yeah. today's been pretty good. I got up at around 9:30 or 10:00. Karen said that we would soon have to start getting up at more reasonable times because we would have to start doing school. That's not any fun there. Afterwards Karen and Mrs. Donna went to eat at a luncheon with some of the ladies of our church. David and I were home alone again while they were gone. We didn't do anything bad or evil or anything menacing in any way, so that was good. It was weird today, the phone practically didn't stop ringing. Man, it was crazy. My grandmother in Nebraska, whom I haven't talk to in like a year or so (the reason of which is a whole story in itself), called. That was kinda weird and unexpected. She talked a pretty good bit. Whew, can she talk. But like I said, it was kinda weird. I read a whole lot today. I'm reading the book Midway. They cuss a whole stinkin' lot in that book. man. They've said d*** a billion times. sh** a whole bunch. let's see. Both of the B words many times. And they have said the F word like, at least four times, if not six or seven. It's bad. And also they use God's name in vain way way too much. They have said hell in a bad context a multiplicity of times, too. I hope my speaking isn't compromised by having to read such filth. ugh. Makes me want to eat marshmellows. That's kinda random, but for some reason it does. yeah. Also today, our dog wouldn't stop whining and begging. It got kinda annoying after awhile. Silly dog. Dad had went out and payed her alot of attention, Karen had went out and paid her alot of attention, Dave and I did, she got a treat, she got to go for a walk; you'd think she wouldn't. Crazy. But after a while she stopped. Not sure what suddenly made her do it, but she did. The cat never meows or scratches the door or anything. He almost never even meows. Every now and then he does, but he usually has to go take a nap because it uses up so much energy. That's our cat for ya: lazy beyond belief. I also fixed my chair today. There was a little piece that was sticking out, so I figured a way to put it back on. I hit my finger though. Oh, and I also fixed our sink bowl. It was out of alignment, so I pushed it back and one of the fasteners fell off. So I put that back on and then tightened it and the other three. I didn't have a screwdriver with me, so I had to do it with my bare hands, so I wasn't able to get them as tight as they could have been tightened. But at least it's on there now. This evening, Bonny and I got to spend some time together. So that was good. We decided how, for now, our relationship is going to progress. We're going to continue as we are and see how that goes; which, I hope, goes well. It'll be different not having her around, but I think I can manage knowing that we're still together. Well, I think I'm going to head off. Talk to all yall guys later.

Oh yeah. LB, I stole your graduating colors from one of your posts. Thanks!

...what does the future have in store?


I'm apprehensive. Can you tell? I might say why later. Hopefully it won't be anything bad.

wednesday rundown

Tonight was pretty fun. We found that the baptistry had flooded, and subsequently poured water all over the place. So I was one who helped move stuff so that they could clean up the water. It was a mess.

I bought some shorts today. They were on sale, and I needed some, so I got 'em. I have to pay Karen back because she bought them for me because I had spent all my money getting stuff for Bonny. While we were out, Mrs. Donna bought us lunch, partly because I am letting her use my room so she wanted to do something for me. So that was cool. We ate at Sonic. She said that they don't have Sonics in Iowa. That's weird.

After church this evening I took Bonny home and spent some time with her, but Seth had to bring David. ugh. They can be so annoying. Here it's like, three days before Bonny has to leave, and they are being a freakin' pain in the butt. I am very perturbed at them both right now. At least I got to spend some time with Bon.

hmm. I think that's pretty much it. I can't think of anything else, but if I do, I'll be sure to add it.

school?

Man, why does everyone have to be in school. It's so boring when there's no one to talk to. I have yet to start school yet, so that's good at least. but oh well, I guess I'll have to be bored until someone gets home from school and online... or until church.

skating

Went ice skating this afternoon. That was fun. It hurt though. haha. I think I fell like, 4 or 5 times. Well, those were full blown wipe outs. If you count the just kinda falls, then it's like 7 or 8 times. But yeah. It was fun none the less. oh Bonny, awwww! haha. That's an inside thing for those that went skating with us. Man, that can get annoying. Oh well. Grin and bear it, that's what I say. Anyway. Oh yeah, sorry Julie, but everyone will find out anyway. Julie locked her purse in her car with her keys in it at Bon's house. That was funny. So I had to drive everyone and then let her get her key and drive her back to Bon's go get her car. Then we all (Bonny, Julie, and David) went back home (my house) to eat dinner; sortof a birthday dinner for Dave. yeah. That was fun. We sang the birthday song to him like, a bagillion times. Then we made him blush alot. That's so fun. It's rather mean, but fun. Julie thinks it's funny, so it's all good. Afterwards, Bon and I went and watched a movie at her house. That was fun. Then I came home and now am writing this. This morning Dad took Dave out to lunch for his birthday, so David didn't get to get his liscence today, wasn't enough time; so he's going to try to get it tomorrow. yeah... it's a little scary. He's not really that bad of a driver, so I'm not worried. Well, I had best get to bed because I am tired beyond all reason. Talk to all yall tomorrow it being as tomorrow is Wednesday and all. I'm going to be so sore in the morning...

LB was in my dream

Ok, the dream started off with me and my secret group of spys based in a hotel. Our position is found out so Todd, my second hand man, and I go and check things out. I fall behind and arrive in just enough time to see him get gunned down by two of LB's henchmen. (Laura Beth was the head of the bad guy secret police). After an ensuing gunbattle, I am taken captive. About the time that she finishes questioning me, the rest of my spys come out and are quickly subdued and captured. Then LB orders them to be executed, shoots me in the head, laughs an evil laugh, and drives off in her black bullet-proof Jaguar.

I'm sorry Laura Beth. It's nothing personal. That's just what I dreamed. But hey, you got a really cool car!

shopping

Yep, that's how my day started. I got up at 12 or so, ate breakfast, then headed off to go shopping. I was getting stuff for Bon, so I can't elaborate any further in case she reads. I really wish she didn't have to go. *sigh*. Anyway. After shopping, I doodled a little bit. Well, I call it doodling. Some would call it drawing, but that's irrelevant. Our school books came in today, total bummer there. I guess we're probably starting next week. I'm going ice skating with Bonny tomorrow. Dave and Julie may come. But yeah. I've never ice skated before. I'm looking forward to it. man, David's going to be 16 tomorrow. My little brother is growing up... haha. yeah. that's perty much it fer right now.

Been awhile

Sup guys. It's been a couple days since I've posted last. but yeah. We had the Bible Bowl cook-out thing last night. It was fun. Mr. Entriken (or however you spell it), taught our class this morning. I guess that Brandon is gone somewheres or something. Yeah. After church we went to Greenbriar Bar-b-que, because Mrs. Donna is here. She's here because Anthony is coming back from Iraq. So that's cool and all. Greenbriar is awesome. Really good. When we got there though, we got there at 1:00 and there were like a billion people in front of us. So we had to wait for the like, ten groups of two, the group of 20, the group of 7, and some other group. It took awhile, and I hadn't eaten breakfast. Talk about agony. oh well, I'm fine now. Bible Bowl study started today. Fun stuff there. Yeah... We have a whole stinkin' bunch a guys in our class. They're all at that age that they think that they are really cool, but in reality they are totally not. More like, really annoying. Well, we have them and Chris; but it's hard to make a distinction at times. ugh. Chris made me really perturbed today in BB class. We were talking and Chris said that he had "hired servants" (we were on that topic) because he had some kids at his school doing his homework for him (which probably isn't true anyway). But then Dad said that that wasn't really a good thing for him to do. Then Chris, and I quote, said, "Well I'm taking a college level history class, bud." And I'm like (to myself) "Bud? BUD?! That's my Dad you're talkin' to!!" I so wanted to beat his face in right then; but I didn't say anything; I held back. UGH. He has no respect. And he's all bragging about driving before David was. And Dave and I are like, "no, David got his permit before you". And then he starts on this whole "I was driving before I got my permit" thing; which probably isn't true, but still. I hate those people that think they know everything and try to tell you that you don't know what the crap you're talking about, when in reality, they are the one that has no stinkin' clue. They make me so freakin' frustrated. Ok, I'm starting to get a little fired up. I had better stop.

games

played doom 3. it has some wickedly awesome graphics. they're super detailed. it's a pretty gorey game though. egh. and scary too. demons and zombies poppin' up everywhere. man, i couldn't play the actual game. whew. but multi-player was fun. i kicked some tail in that... well, i did ok. not too bad, though. well, i'd best be off.

Disc Golf.

Today I didn't really do too much. Did some Greek, fried a couple of eggs for lunch. Yeah. I beat Peasant's Quest, this really cool game (haha). This evening, as the title suggests, I played disc golf. I had an ok game, nothin' special. I have decided that my glove that I wear isn't the super glove of power, but more of a glove of random luck. Every shot I really tried to do good on turned out bad; but any shot that I just kinda tossed ended up exactly perfect. It was rather interesting. But yeah. Afterward we went to Wal-Mart and bought some ice cream. It's like, cherry cordial's in chocolate truffle ice cream with ameretto. Does that not sound completely awesome?! I can't wait to dive in. After I eat my ice cream, I am going with Devin to play Doom 3, a game that is supposed to be a super-cool, neato, sweet game. I'll probably be up near to all night; who knows. It doesn't really matter because I don't have too much of a reason to be here since Bon isn't home tonight. Well, I'm off to eat some ice cream.

stuff

Went to the mall today with Bon, Seth, and their mom, like I said last night that I was. I had a good time. Everytime's a good time with Bonny. Anyway. yeah. I got Dave a gift, but just in case he reads this, I won't elaborate. But yeah. It has been awhile since I have walked that mall so extensively. I'm not too much of a mall kinda guy. Well, I'm not sure if there are too many guys that like the mall. I talked to a guy outside the ladies dressing room (don't get any bad ideas; I was waiting for Bon). Anyway, we talked about the differences of shopping between girls and guys. Ok, girls have to look (and try on) everything before they can decide what they want. A guy looks only at what he wants (sometimes brousing), and then tries on what he has picked after he has decided what he wants. Now I know perfectly well that there are exceptions, depending on what is being shopped for, etc.; and also that there are girls and guys that are different. But on average, that's about how it runs. That's thoroughly unimportant, but I needed something to write. All I'm trying to say is that I talked to a guy that I didn't even know. I don't do that much. I guess I should try to be more "outgoing" or "friendly" or whatever you want to call it. We also talked about school. He was interested to the fact that I was home schooled. I didn't think to ask his name. He didn't either, so that's probably why. But yeah. We went to Wal-Mart after we left the mall. Loads of fun there. I love Wally World. Such a great place. Well, I'm getting tired, and plus I'm out of stuff to type, so

It is well

Tonight was rather fun. Went to the baby shower. Listened to Craig Lamb give a lesson. He did a great job. It was on the song It is Well with my Soul. That's a real good song. I like it. We sang it like, a billion times. Ok, so maybe only thrice (that's fancy for three). It has a sad story behind it though. I had heard it before, but had forgotten about it. I would say it, but I don't really feel like typing that much right now. But yeah. After church my parents left me. I was ok with walking home; but Bon offered to take me home, so I couldn't turn her down: you know how that is,... well, maybe you don't. Anyways. Tomorrow I'm goin' shoppin' er somethin' of that sort with Bonny. I'm not too much into shopping, but I only have so much time with her before she leaves. Hey, shopping can be fun! Maybe I'll see something I need. hmm, is there anything that I need? I'm not too sure. I'd have to think a while and look at my wardrobe. I do want to see the price that trenchcoats are going for these days. I want one. I most likely won't be able to find one though, knowing my luck. Wait a second! I could get David a birthday gift! his birthday is only a few days away. But I'm not sure what he wants. I'll have to ask him. ... hmm, what would Dave want...? Well, I guess I'll find out tomorrow. Man, I can't believe he's going to be 16. He's going to be driving by himself within two weeks (provided he don't fail the drivers test). Anyway. I had best be off to bed. I have to go on a Z hunt. There's no better place than my lovely bed hunt down those Z's... man, why am I so weird? Maybe it's that I'm tired. Maybe not. Well, I'll go on that one for right now.

sitting

yeah. I'm rather bored. I'm just kinda sittin' here, doin' nothin'. No one really is online, pretty much everyone I talk to is in school. Oh well.

Near tragedy

I almost got rearended by a pick-up this evening. I was stopping for a guy turning left in front of me, but the dude behind me wasn't paying attention and ended up having to swerve off the road and then ended up in the grass beside me. Wow. That got my heart to beating. But no one was harmed, so it's all good.

blueberries

No, blueberries as nothing to do with anything. I just wanted to put that as the title. anyway. Today has been rather uneventful thus as far. But tonight oughta be fun. Bon and I are watching a movie; Bourne Identity. It was a pain in the butt to find. First I went to a couple places. The first place was so disorganized it was pathetic. Then the next place had it, but all copies were rented. Then I got back home, and thought of another place, but Karen wouldn't let me go. She didn't want me to use the gas when I could just call them. So then I had to go and find the place in the phone book, and call. Well, they're number was "unable to be reached" or something along those lines. Well, finally Karen found a place that had it. But you have to be 18 or older to rent or get a membership thingy, so then we had to work out a plan to get it. yeah. It was rather a pain. But now we're going to get the movie, and Bon and I are going to watch it, and it'll all be good. Well, that's all for now.

Bible Bowl

so it begins...

yes, ladies and gents, friends of all ages, Bible Bowl has now started. Isn't it great?! I know what you're thinking: I must be out of my mind. Maybe so. But think of it from where I'm standing; this is my last year of it. I know it probably sounds kinda bad, but there is only so much memorizing of the Bible that one can do before burn-out seriously sets in. So one more year for me, and I'm outa here; which is sad in some aspects, happy in others.

Another day

Welp. Today is just another day among days. Went to the bear stuffing whatever thing this morning. Yeah buddy. I had a blast!!.... uhh, not. But yeah. That's about it. Did more Greek. Worked on my D&D character. yeah. I have such a boring life. I won't say it's bad per say, but it is rather boring at times. I want to play Halo... that was random. Oh well. I guess I'll stop typing now.

Busy day

Today was a pretty great day. Well, I started off going to church, obviously... We had a buncha visitors this morning. Five I think. Anyway. After morning services we went over to the Brodies for a cookout/devo. It was crazy. On the way there I hit every possible red light on red... except the one where I had to turn right. Figures. But yeah. The cookout was fun. The burger was a little on the done side (aka burnt) but it was still rather good. I played alot of chess. I beat Rachel. And then brutally annihilated Kenneth. Then there was Fannie Mare. We were trying to teach her how to play. Well, she beat me. That's most likely do to the fact that she had like, thirty people giving her tips and hints. Ok, maybe only four or five; but still, that's alot of people to be playing against. She couldn't make a bad move. Well, the second game went pretty much the same way. I was down to three pieces. Then she finally made a mistake, and within three moves I had her in check-mate. But yeah. We sang some songs and had a devo. Then we watched a slide show of some of the summer. It was kinda short, but oh well, it happens. That's about it for the cookout. Well, for evening services, Jason preached. It was good. He had a picture of him "extending discipline", or whatever, on me. (he was knee-ing me in the stomach (it was posed (duh))) ANYway... After church we all had to say buy to Austin and Morgan. Man, I really wish they didn't have to go. ugh. But yeah. Then Julie & Dave and Bon & I watched a movie. Confesions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Funny here and there. I wouldn't choose to watch it again. But yeah. It's all in the company. Well, that's today and it's events.

I only wish...

Alas, and the day is come to an end. Isn't it peculiar that sometimes, that something will happen, or you will do something; but you can't really quite remember all of it? That it will come to you as a dream. You know it is real, but you can't recall all of it. They seem so close, yet so distant. You long to grasp them; but you can't hold them, you can only get lost in recalling them; wishing you could relive that moment over and over; wishing you could be there one last time; wishing you knew what the future was going to reveal. Why can't moments like that last forever? Why do they pass so quickly? I only hope that soon another will come. I only wish I could express my feelings better. I only wish...

Rainy day

Today's been rainy, but Bon and I walked anyway. Thankfully we didn't get lost. That would have been kinda funny though. But yeah. I was fun, even with the rain. There was this cool ledge that we walked by, and sorta climbed on. It was a dry place to sit for a little bit. Then we just decided to walk, even though the rain picked up a bit. We got soaking wet, but it was fun all the same. I enjoyed it muchly.

It's a bummer that the thing at the Brodie's was cancelled. I guess it'll still be fun tomorrow. I think there's the devo tomorrow too. Oh well. It'll be a fun-packed day!... I guess. Well, that's all I have to type for right now.

Overview of tomorrow

I may not get to write anything tomorrow. I'm walking with Bon in the morning. That means I have to get up early, ugh. But she's worth it : ). Then in the evening we're going to have a whatever get-together thingy at the Brodie's. That has "staying up late" written all over it. Well, I guess I'm going to head out to catch some z's for tomorrow.

Sitting here.

I'm just kinda sitting here, chatting on IM. I'm not too sure why I'm making this "post", but I am. Why does no one ever talk to me on IM? There is like, only one person that will actually talk to me, and that's Bonny. All other conversations I have to start myself. I feel so unloved sometimes... It's not like anyone's going to read this anyway. I doubt anyone will actually look at my profile, much less my blog, whatever blog's supposed to mean... *sigh*

A saying.

A little neglect may breed mischief;

for want of a nail the shoe was lost;

for want of a shoe the horse was lost;

for want of a horse the rider was lost;

for want of the rider the battle was lost...

Interesting Day

Today was rather an interesting day, other than the fact I had to study Greek all day. Wow, a whole bunch of fun there. Well, it is sorta fun sometimes.

Earlier I had a sudden urge to build something with legos. I'm not too sure why, I just did. So I disassembled an old model that I built and made something else out of it. Yeah, that was rather interesting. A freak occurence I guess.

Anyway. Oh yeah. On my way back from dropping Dave off at the theatre, I found myself listening to country music. I used to hate it with a passion. I guess Bon has me getting used to it or something. Who knows.

Well, I guess that's it for now.

Time is slipping away...

Each day I come closer to that which I dread. Time never seems to pass fast enough when you need it to; but when you want it to go slow, it just goes all the faster.

Why is it that when something good
happens, it is taken away?
With all that changes,
moods shift from day to day.
When things seem to work out,
and life starts to go good,
Something always happens,
and it gets worse than you thought it could.

each day I'll do,... a golden deed...

Lock-in

Yeah, we had a lock-in at church last night/this morning. It was pretty fun. I ended up bowling better with my left hand than my right... that's just kinda weird. By the end I was exausted. I slept till nearly four in the afternoon today... and I'm still tired; well, sorta. It's most likely just because I had slept that long. Played some mean Halo. Won half of the games that I played in. Got second in the rest. I helped Kenneth and Seth out when they were playing. I think I play that game way too good. They kept saying it was suicide to play against the Skippers. I probably shouldn't play it as much as I do, but hey; it's a really fun game. Oh well. That's enough typing for now. I have to get ready to go to eat at Zaxby's. I love David, he always manages to convince the parents to eat out. Well, that's not the only reason I love my bro, but yeah.

I'm a rookie

All this is rather new to one as myself. Bear with me as I slowly accumulate random information for the entertainment of those like yourself that find joy in reading that which other people write... wow, that's a mouthful. Anyway, like I said, all this is rather new. Don't count on something being written every day, because I most likely won't be able to think of stuff to write that often.
