I’M MELTING!!!

It was very hot today when i mowed the lawn. It took me almost 4 hours the longest it has taken me in like 2 years. Went to church tonight, saw Breanna, Lauren (who i did not think would be there, and who i found out is moving back to Texas soon.), Telora, Kayla, and Austin. Caleb, one of the little little kids at church has grown attached to me. He cries everytime I have to leave. I feel bad for leaving, but its a good feeling of knowing im wanted too. Which i know im wanted but im sure you with kids understand. I got asked a very odd question about my church’s doctrine. Todd asked me “This may be just folklore or whatever but does your church (church of christ) really think that other churches are going to hell?” i just kinda stared at him and answered i think very intelligently, “I dont. I think if you live by god’s word and will, and you are baptized you are not going to hell. although that is what i beleive, some of the older ones in my church may think differently.” i think i handled it very well.

Band Camp and a Barn

Last week was band camp and it was HOT! we had a lot of fun though. The music this year is relatively easy so we didn’t work too hard in sectionals. I did not get to go and see The Dark Knight like I wanted to because we had the youth retreat. I did go to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull on thursday at the decatur mall. I did not like it as much as the first or third ones. I’d put it at about the same level as the second. the youth retreat was a lot of fun. We stayed at a place called Camp ToknowHim. We litterally stayed in a barn. It was half a horse stable half a cabin. But it was really big. I was the only teenage boy there but it wasn’t a total loss. I always say that i would much rather hang out with chicks than with some of my friends. We had a total of 28 people there except sunday when two extra people showed to give the sunday lesson. I didn’t get much sleep on Saturday night. I stayed up till 2 with Breanna, Kayla, Andrea, Telora, Lauren, Dinah, and Liz. I think the youth group as a whole grew closer together. It stinks that Austin my cuz, who is 13, didn’t get to be there. He had to have ear drum reconstruction surgery. I feel his pain. I have had surgery close to that before. Except instead of reconstruction it was replacement so, eh. Breanna (i spelled her name wrong last time) is now more part of the group. we talked and she is pretty cool. Im real glad she is with us now.

My Cousin’s A Goob

The only reason i named this post that is because my cousin Austin is staring over my shoulder. It is very annoying.nothing much has happened lately. Band has been okay so far. it has not been very hot yet, but will be by Monday next week. Band camp lasts from 8 to 5 every day. it is very hot during those hours. and it will be very hard to find breakfast that does not include a dairy product. my usual breakfast is cereal and juice. looks like it will be toaster strudel or poptarts. OH! i forgot waffles!

PLEASE GO TO SLEEP!

i couldn’t sleep at all last night. insomnia sucks. well, everything is going back to normal now. Band practice has started agasin. This year we are doing a “Going To the Movies” theme. some of our songs are like themes for Batman, Superman,Halloween,Psycho,Twentieth century theme. songs from movies like Casa Blanca, west side story, and some others. i mowed the lawn again yesterday. it was still hot out there. Sam (the tenor sax player who sits next to me in band) kept on telling me i was sick cuz after i mow the grass i cough a lot and cant breath through my nose. its just one of my newly emerging allergies. i have found out that i am allergic to english peas now. ya know, i didn’t know you could be allergic to peas, but I am.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

All went well with my grandfather’s surgery thursday. I’m super releived at that. We now have decided to go to their house every weekend for the next couple of weeks or months. Just to make sure everything is ok. While we were there we went to the mall and made Papi, my granddad and its pronounced poppy just spelled different, a bear at Build-a-Bear. we dressed it up in a doctors outfit with an x-ray of a heart. He was supposed to have triple bypass surgery but he ended up have four bypasses. He is doing really well. He walks around when he has to but doesn’t want to, and hes eating okay.

Band camp is just around the corner. I missed the first meeting. I had to go to Birmingham so I missed it. But Mr. Farris(band director) and Todd(section leader) understood.Oh, if you were wondering I play the baritone. Played it since 8th grade and before that I played thye tuba for a half year and trumpet three years before that.

Recent Turn of Events

so i found out this morning my stepdad’s dad(my step-grandfather) is going to have to have triple bypass surgery. Don’t ask me how it works i just know its on his heart. I’m praying that everything goes good. Papi (our nickname for him) means a lot to me and to all of us, and it would really hurt to lose him.

On a brighter note, there is a new girl at my dad’s church. Her name is Brianna (or Breanna or however you spell it). She has black hair, she’s kinda short, and I like her. I don’t really know much about her, but I do know that she is in colorguard at Decatur High, and she’s 14. Past that i know nothing else.

I’m not looking forward to tomorrow. I have to get up at 6 (which i usually sleep till about 9 30 or 10), and Aegwyn has her ear surgery tomorrow at 7. Then we get packed and head to Birmingham for Papi’s surgery. It will be a hectic and murderous day tomorrow. Not happy about it at all.

My Forked Tongue and Mutilated Toe

so last night after dinner my mom fixed some strawberry shortcake and it was awesome! we had breakfast for dinner and i ate a lot. i was stuffed. so im putting away dishes from my dessert and sucking the strawberry syrup off of my fork, when my stepdad bumps into me and the fork sinks in my tongue. both the babies are asleep so im screaming silently in my head while whimpering in the kitchen. i pull out the fork to tell my mom, “im othay. that onthy hurth a whole lot…oush.” after finally overcoming my speech impediment and the swelling went down i went to bed. slept till 6 woke up to help my mom with babies, went back to sleep till 10. then i got up, mowed the lawn in 100 degree heat for 2 hours, went in to fix lunch. so ive cooled off and got a shower and get my brother to fix lunch. i open the freezer to grab the corn dog and almost lose a toe. a big chunk of meat falls and lands less than an inch away from my big toe. my eyes are huge and im just staring at the hunk of meat laying on the floor. it scared me. ive seen the Mythbusters episode where a frozen peice of meat falling from a freezer has killed small dogs and broken feet and cut off toes. wow. someone must be watching out for me.

It was an accident…I swear!

4th of july rolls around and me and my brothers and sister tell my dad happy birthday. then at about 11 30 we go to my uncles house for my dad’s party. we ride 4 wheelers, and grill steaks, eat some really good food. later that night, my dad takes us to the fireworks store. we get some roman candles, sparklers,bottle rockets and a few other small things. so we’re playing around with the fireworks, when my dad has this crazy idea and says “Whoever can light that big pile of tree scarps, you get $5.” that pile is still smoking. my dad threw a sparkler in it and caught the thing on fire. since theres a burn ban my was felt really stupid, but we didn’t get in trouble like he thought we would. although our neighbor did drive down our driveway to make sure it wasn’t our house.

thoughts and the day

so yeah we downloaded the spore creature creator on my mom’s computer.(i dont have my own which i dont like but have to live with) we had been having problems with it. we hadn’t been able to get it to load and i just kept trying every once in a while just because i was hoping it would for some reason work. well, it did. and very stupidly i created an account for the thing. apparently you can only have one account and cannot change the account for it. well, that got my stepdad upset and stuff, so i feel kinda bad. i put my own name in the account name and thats what upset everyone. guess i can never have my own account. oh well. anyway, band camp starts soon. as in a couple of weeks. man its gunna suck! i mean it’ll be awesome that i can see my friends, but its 8am-5pm for 5 days straight. and its hot outside.oh and just to let you guys know i am a big beleiver in the whole year round school thing. not year round as in no breaks but like more breaks and longer breaks during the school year just a smaller summer vacation. that way i get to see my friends more and lees lonely time in the summer. i might be able to see them during breaks and stuff then, cuz i aint got a car and my parents don’t trust them or me enough to let me go to their house or even have a cell phone so i can remember their numbers.

so i asked my dad for some money the other day and he told me i would have to work for it. i figured that and i had already been working with him on our new driveway, that still isnt finished yet just BTW, and he told me he’d pay me 10 bucks an hour. so i was like sweet ive already got $20! he said no. he said that i was getting paid for what work i did after the agreement. well that stinks! ive already worked more than my brother and he’s getting paid more! i worked 2 hours the first day and 1 and a half the day after the “agreement.” so he gets twenty and i only get fifteen. when i did double or triple the work he did. i know that isnt much money but its enough to get Fable: Lost chapters which i liked the first Fable and want that one just to have. well, twenty is enough. since i only got 15 i cant get it yet. but the more i think about it, i wouldn’t get to play it much since i would only get to play it at my moms since my dad sees technology as the devil. He has an old-as-dirt comp and onlky my stepmom has a phone. the fact that during the school year im only at my moms house maybe a total of 9 days a month, means i wouldnt get much play time. during the summer i spend two weeks at each house alternating. also thought I would just add as a closer that my cousin, who is two years younger than me, already ahs a cell phone and has had it for over a year. just saying. cya’ll later. peace!

p.s. just so you can see, i’ll try to post a pic of the creature I created with the spore creature creater. l8r!

just so you know…

i know that there is an about me page or whatever but i dont trust it. i dont really trust too much. i trust god. i trust…some…of my family. i DONT trust rollercoasters or hobos. i like a whole lotta things. i LOVE music. my new favorite band is Hawk Nelson. they’re a christian rock band, which i think is kinda funny. a few years back i heard someone say that rock music is the music thye devil listens to. that rock is evil and should not be listened to. and since ya know CHRISTIAN rock it is…get it? but that was a long time ago. I’m a total super nerd. I love watching Doctor Who, i play my ds a lot, i DO play poke’mon, and i play magic and DND in my free-time. oh, and i also like reading. The last book I read was Ender’s Game. By far the best sci-fi book i have ever read, not that I read too much sci-fi anyway… I’ve been trying to find the sequel but i can only find the other books in the series.

i said before that i like Doctor Who. well, i do. but its KILLING me. ive watched it since Eccleston and loved the whole kit and kaboodle. heh, on a very off-note, i just laughed because i remembered a comcast commercial where this guys at a resturaunt and he orders his meal and this chinese guy is like, “Would you like some kit with your kaboodle?” and the guys like “Eh? Why not?”…sorry. But i cant wait for the part 2 of the finale. I loved Tennant as the Doc and the fact that they brought back Rose was AWESOME!!! sadly tho hes regenerating and means that he has to change his face and body and stuff. but if the Doctor has to regenerate, then why doesn’t he use the hand to keep his form hes currently in? you know, the hand in the bubbling case. dunno. well im wrapping it up for tonight. time to hit the hay. cya’ll!
