Hey Guys;
This is going to be a short intro and the rest will just be what I will explain in the intro (did that make sense?). Well, I was cleaning my room early this morning (which is SO not like me but yeah,) and I came across a folder. I looked through the paper, it was junk so I took it all out and tossed it, I sat back down on my bed and opened the folder again, debating if I should toss that or not. Then it hit me! It was a folder from Grade 9! How do I know- cause I got ALL of my grade 9 classmates to sign it :) The back of the folder had a spot for a 8X10 picture, but I used a sheet of paper and got everyone to sign it and put it back into the folder. To be honest, I don’t think I even seen the folder since grade 9...
But yeah, anyways- everyone’s name is there and I was all emotional (I suck at emotions okay..lol) and sat there, thinking about everyone. It was like my entire school life flashed before me. (btw, I am crying my eyes out now...lame eh?) But yeah, before I go off my head- I just want to list the names of everyone and write a small thing about each one.
Here goes:
Kristen: Man, you’re an amazing person. Strong both verbally and physically (haha). One of the things I liked most about you is that you expressed yourself how ever you wanted. There is great things in store Kristen, and if you ever read this- I pray that it all opens up just has you always wanted it.
Danielle: Well, this is one of three people I won’t miss yet. Vanguard awaits us in the fall so I am not even planning to say goodbye yet- it’ll kill though when I have to.
Requel: wow! That’s all I want to say. I said I’d do this and stop crying- but if I even goes on anymore I’ll break out again. I love you Kel, no matter WHAT happens. Wish you EVERYTHING this world and the next can offer.
Gera: Not only did I learn that Gera’s dog was dead (ask me about the Golden Retriever story) I learned that Gera is possibly one of the most amazing people in our class. I have seen Gera in almost every mood in school, and I like the ‘happy’ mood better. :) Gera, you are an amazing person and I wish you all the best.
Denika: Ever since the crush I had on Denika in grade 8, she hated me. Haha! I can remember Denika some time before school in grade 7 even. She came to the door to get a cake with her mom and her mom said that she would be in my class. I can remember that just like yesterday and I’m sure I will for a good long time - at least until I am old and grey. I hate to say ‘good bye’ to you cause you are awesome. Friendly in every way and man, can you laugh! Love you Nika!
Candace: Like Danielle, I’ll get to see Candace next year at Vanguard. Enough said- I don’t wanna cry. Love you lots
Timothy: Ha! You beat me in grade 9 Tim, but I beat you at Presidency. Haha! Yeah, sure- you ‘pulled out’ of the race! Haha! I can’t say I really know you anymore but from what I can remember, you were something else. So funny yet, SO moody! All the best man.
Melanie: I never even got a chance to say goodbye, and I will NEVER do it. It’s always going to be ‘see ya around Mel’! (Okay, I’m tearing up again..lol) Mel, you were the one that I looked up too in school (most of the times). Your attitude and the actions (even under the MOST pressure ever) were amazing. I don’t really know you outside, but if you were ever different, I’d be shocked! Love you Mel and again.. ‘See ya around’.
Paul: TALK! FOR THE LOVE OF BETTY, TALK! Haha! English class, back in the corner - you said some words! Ha! It’s all good Paul, you’d do good in politics I’m sure of it, after all Gerry Byrne is the least talkative one there - and he represents us, so why not you. Go for whatever you want Paul and you’ll get it!
April: I CAN NOT say good bye yet April. The day you finish work with me will take the life out of me, BUT I know that you will ALWAYS be there for me, at ANY time. (Again, I’m tearing up) I love you SO much, more then you can ever know- and more then you will ever know. We have been through so much and YOU are THE special one to me. Love you lots.. And we’ll wait to say ‘good bye’.
Johnny: ha! Don’t think I said all those things about April in a ‘loving’ way. Well I did, just not in the same ‘loving way’ as you do. Ha! She’s all yours man! Anyways Johnny, You have one year left by’ and that’s it! Wish you could have graduated with us man- it would have been one heck of a year- I know it! :) Whatever you decide you want to do in life- stick to it and you’ll get it. Word of advise (and this goes to all the Graduates) Don’t forget the one who put you here and what He gave you’. Write it down man! Peace
Lisa: Oh my, my heart just sunk. Like Kristen, you expressed yourself however you wanted- and for that alone, you earned my deepest respect. I am going to cherish the times we had, all throughout highschool (even the puppy love...lol). I’ll say a few for ya Lisa.. Go for it!
Skyler: Crazy? Haha! Cool? Meh- Joking.. I am! Skyler by’ you are about the least likely person to read this, but I hope if someone do and they’re close with ya- tell Skyler I said ‘hey’. Arguments- one after another. A lot of the times I just had to give up.. There is just no way to win with you man. I think you only got one year left too, so pick something and go for it!
Matt: Good ol’ Matt left us in grade 10. Funny as anything yet super stubborn. Hopefully you learned to keep your mouth shut by now... haha! I haven’t spoke to you in years tho man, we’re gonna have to get in touch somehow! Peace
Holly: Another girl that earned my respect this year. This girl is CRAZY and knows how to live life (even if it’s not approved by many). I love you SO much and I think you said you were suppose to come back home, to the Arm? We GOT to get together before I leave next month. :) A date at Chuck? Sure thing.. ;) Love you Holly, wish you the best in everything.
Tash: Like Candace and Danielle, I don’t have to say ‘goodbye’ to Tash just yet. :) Hopefully I will never have too (come on Rapture..lol). Tash is a true genuine person - the most I have EVER seen. What you see is what you get. No matter how bad a mood I am in, Tash can always bring the laughter out- you and Rudy GOT to be made for each other. Again, I don’t have to say ‘good bye’ yet so- Peace and we’ll rock out next year! :)
Brian: ha! Me and Brian despised each other in grade 6, and we were bestest friends when we were younger. Then, for a nice while - in grade 7-11 we were pretty good friends. We been though a lot and we’ve said a lot to each other - with the best intentions I’m sure. Anyways- yeah.. It’s over man and it’s smooth sailin’ from here on in. But man, don’t forget- the ship is soon comin’- don’t miss it. It would suck without ya man!
Nigel: ha! He was one of the four amigos as kids. Wherever you saw Nigel, Rudy, Johnny and myself were there. Childhood was amazing man and it was always a riot having you around. In school, a lot of the times we didn’t get along but hey- who did ALL the times. But yeah, it would have been a blast to spend more time with ya man but hey- different things causes different people. But yeah, no matter how different we become, I’ll consider you a friend.
Yeah, anyways- that was it. All 19 of us (including me)! I never cried in a while now.. But I’m sure when it’s posted and I read down through, the tears will come again! Lol! Hey man, some girls likes the ‘emotional’ type... haha! But yeah, that was the GRADE 9 GRADUATES! In closing I want to say ‘ALL THE BEST’ to EVERYONE! YE ROCK!
God Bless
Peace
Prayers

Chapter 81: Bring It On
Hey Guys;
It's been a busy week man, and I'm super glad to catch a break - I'm living up this weekend. NOT! I've stuck in the house all weekend, actually I went down to Bev's and got a book off her to read. :) So, Thanks Bev! :)
But yeah, that's been my exciting weekend. As for the past two days.. I've been flat out pretty much. Work is enough to keep me tied up but hey, I pulled a easy one yesterday, since April (my co-worker) wasn't around! She done it the day I took off, so only fair right! haha! JK
But yeah, Yesterday God broke though in so many ways.
First off, RSG (Rock Solid Generation) had a huge promotion yesterday. VOCM threw us a online story area with a link provided AND Rudy done an interview with one of the reporters which aired a few times. Not to long after that, the hits for the site went WAY over 700!
After lunch, while I was at work (hehe) I called openline, just to thank them for their help and throw another shoutout for RSG. I never thought about my bosses listening to the radio and hearing me - which I'm sure would have ended in me getting fired.. haha! But yeah, I reported we had 700 hits but overall we ended up with almost 900.
That was all well and dandy and thanks goes out again to VOCM for their support.
After VOCM, I made a small little ad, just in case newspapers wanted it for advertisements. Knowing that they were most likely not going to call looking for it, I called them. First on the list was the Northern Pen. I spoke to their Editor Allen and he agreed that they would run an ad for a 'couple of weeks' so I got his email and sent that along to him. He told me that he would get back to me and send me the email address for all the newspapers here on the island. That way, promotion everywhere - which is just what we need! :) But yeah, I'm not sure if that ad will run this week or next, but I did make this weeks deadline so, just MAYBE it'll make this weeks cut! I hope so! :) But yeah, an advance thank you going to them as well.
If you read Rudy's blog anytime soon, he has an interview coming up on Monday with a lady from the Telegram. It's going to be about youth and religion - so awesome! So, make sure you say a prayer or two for Rudy on Monday! :) Good Luck Man - make Him proud! :)
Well as you can tell God was in the middle of all that. :)
ALSO, guess what- WE GOT THE APARTMENT! :) We finally have a place to call home! :)
It's rather close to the school BUT it's a two bedroom. That's okay I guess, good enough for now to say the least. Buddy said if we wanted to, we could look for a three bedroom while we were there. :) It's all good. The landlord sounds like an amazing guy! :)
The girls have their spot, a short distance from us! :) yey!
Also, Heather reported that they have their house in the city now! :)
In the words of Heather 'Yesterday must have been God's day for living arrangements' -lol! :) It must have been! But yeah,... all the hard work in searching, paid off! :) Now, it's only 30 days til we get to go home! :)
But yeah, it's been a good one! :) Yesterday rocked:)
Anyways, that's it here from me now! I'll try to touch base before Wednesday - I think I'm going to make a routine on here.. post every three days and just update then. NOT! This blog from the beginning was meant to be totally random, and I think it has! :)
But yeah, again.. it's been a good one!
Peace Out
Prayers

Chapter 80: A Little At A Time
Hey Everyone,
I took this afternoon off work, I am totally sick (the stomach flu is going around..my poor nephew had it, my sister, mom and now me... yipee eh?) and it's totally not fun. Now I have to work back 4 hours to the CAP but oh well, it's only next Tuesday and Thursday mornings and I'll be caught up! :)
But yeah, the title suggest the main plot of this blog don't ya think. 'A Little at A Time' - as you noticed that I am slowly (yet surely) trying to upgrade the blog to at least something I am pleased with... so I'm adding little things in. I have been searching around for different things I can add but nothing majorly registered in my brain yet (that hasn't happened in a while now as it..lol).
As you can see, I have posted the 'official button' for this site (see the LINK TO ME section on the lower right hand side). This is the button YOU can use on YOUR website, blog or other internet pages. Just make sure the link comes back to here (and that it works)!
If you link MY SITE to YOUR SITE, I'll gladly put you under the 'Affiliates' section and let you have your own cool little button there. As you may have already noticed, the RSG one is linked under that section but I'm not linked on theirs - that's okay though and will only work for that site (since it is important).
But yeah, I'm gonna keep on searching for more advancements for the site and I look forward to keepin ya posted on what's going on in 'Josh Land'!
Peace Out Everyone;
Prayers
Joshua!

Chapter 79: Busy, Busy, Busy
Hey,
Okay, I can't promise how long this will last but it might last until I get to Edmonton! I've been forever trying to blog but I just can't find time anymore. Laugh all you may, but honestly- I'm officially a very busy man. Well, ever since day one I have been saying I always find a way to make me busy, but now, more then ever - I've been busy. Work, Work, Work! THAT'S ALL I DO ANYMORE! And I ain't complainging cause I like it most of the times but yeah... it keeps and takes most of my time.
Okay, for example - this past week(and the week prior) I have:
1. Started a book
2. Attended a Wedding
3. Helped my sister move
4. Worked(had to throw it in again cause I do it alot)
5. Got my student loan approved
6. Officially graduated highschool
7. Worked (again I do it alot)
8. Went to GF's
9. Went to BV
10. Newspapers
11. Edited my sister's wedding video (which is still not done)
12. Cyber Camp (twice a week)
13. Attempted to read a book (still not even half way through it)
14. Apartment Hunting
15. MORE
So yeah, I have been busy- especially with work AND apartment hunting. I honestly have called roughly 30+ apartments. No less then 25. I have my phone bill ran up cause of it, and I have the special on the phone.. okay, that was a stretch but seriously, I have about a few dozen numbers on my phonebill for apartments... and still NOTHING! Until today! If it's the Lord's will - it'll obviously work out! Pray, that's all I'm going to say for now.. pray!
Anyways, this is my time off and I'm gone to do something other then sit here and write on this blog!
Peace
Prayers

Chapter 77: I Cried - Congrats!
Hello Again;
First off I just wanted to say - 'I Cried'! ha!
Second, I will tell you the reason I cried. Which is:
Okay, I watched the Grad DVD. I was doing perfect right up until the very last part - the balloon drop. I cried ONCE at the Grad - after Candace gave her tribute to the students, and that wasn't even a real cry, more of a 'shed a tear' sortta thing. Anyways, the balloon drop. It was MY highlight of the grad. It was the climax of the entire grad for me, and if you watched the DVD - you would be able to tell. I loved it! I jumped, danced, laughed, hugged and everything else to express my happiness YET, I come home, almost two months AFTER the grad and watch it, and cried at the balloon drop. This time it wasn't a 'shed a tear' sortta thing, but actual crying - sap eh?
I just can't believe that there is no highschool for me anymore. I'm done, it's over - FOREVER! I can't go back even if I wanted to. Now, as I am out of school, I look back and (as people said) I cherish it - even if it's only two months after. I'm not crying for the purpose of 'waaa.. I don't have highschool anymore' - I cried out of pure JOY! I was SO excited for not just ME but ALL of us. We been together fully for SIX years and I shared seven years with the Burlington/Smith's Harbour half - and now... it's over! :)
Again, it's been two months since Grad and almost half of the grad class has gone away - to start their lives. Today is the 50 day marker before I leave, and start my 'life' - and the feeling is amazing.
Basically, what I'm trying to get across is CONGRATS GUYS, WE DID IT! I know I wished you all the best in May, most of ye in June again and now I want to do it again - Congrats Guys...
Peace
Prayers
Keep It Up
Joshua

Chapter 76: Wake Up
WAKE UP FOR THE FIRST TIME OF YOUR LIFE!
DEADLY song! I totally love it. I'm going to try to find the lyrics to it or try to post somewhere you can download it - or a clip of it at the least. It's deadly!
Anyways, I'm not going to ruin it now before I let you all hear/read it! haha!
Well, it's Saturday - duh! I wasn't going to work today but I decided I would - make back some of the hours I owe.. : - I only owe a few more.. hehe! Everyone else seemed to take off to the park for the day, if only they had called me earlier - I would have scrapped the work idea. Ha! Oh well, there'll be more days I'm sure... : -
I was talking to Candace today too (Just after supper -my time). It was good to talk to her again, I miss her SO much... :( - sorry for the late birthday wishes hun - Hope you had a great day. :)
Oh my, I'm bored now.. I had plans for tonight but I sortta backed out on em.. I'm just in a 'wanna be by myself' mood - I think I'm gonna head down to the 'old house' area and read the John Hagee book I bought before grad and still have yet to read. I took my bible down there a week or so ago, and just read, soked in the surroundings and yeah.. I enjoyed it. I might just go do the same now with the JH book! :) Yeah, that sounds like fun right about now!
I'll try to post later tonight!
Peace

Keep It up

Chapter 75: 25 To Go
Hey Guys;
It's me again - obviously eh? haha! Well, I don't know what to write about tonight. I'm half asleep but it's been two days and I haven't blogged so I was like 'I tell people off when they don't blog' - plus, two people have asked me if I have blogged today, and I had to say no. Now I can tell them that I have, and it'll make them happy I bet... ha!
Anyways, I'm finished work for this week. I would almost say 'Praise God' but it would almost make it sound like I didn't like where I work - which I really do. I'm so lucky to have April (an amazing friend) as a co-partner. :) It keeps the CAP more exciting. ha! As if the CAP would ever get boring eh?
Well, I gotta comment on what I done tonight. I was at the CAP and a lady from our town came in with her kid - a two year old little girl. Well I showed the parent how to do some things on the computer and then I was like 'I'll keep the kid occupied so she can get her work done'. Man, what a laugh I had with her. I had a CAP balloon blew up and we played with that. I was throwing it back and forth with her for about a good half hour. Then we used it to play 'soccer' and then I was flicking the balloon at her and she would laugh so hard. It was SO cute, I loved it. I always said I wasn't sure if I ever wanted kids after I was married but man, if my kid can be that fun - I want one. Anyways, my mind is totally set on having kids now - well not set.. but it confirmed that I do want kids and I don't really know why I said I never wanted any in the first place.
Anyways, I'm 100% NOT ready for kids yet, maybe in a few years (like 4+) I'll settle down (if I can find someone dumb enough to marry me.. haha, just kidding) and maybe, when the time is right we can start our own little family... aww... how sweet!
But yeah, the kid taught me alot tonight! :) - Thanks kid!
But yeah, Had a blast overall today at work. April and I went out and delivered the town's newspaper - the favorite part is easily when we had the good ol' Christian music blasting and I was shouting 'Praise Him Burlington' ... April still thinks I'm crazy but hey, the least we can do is offer ALL the praises we can! :)
But yeah, I'm hitting the hay now!
Peace
Prayers
Keep It!

I'm half asleep but it's been two days and I haven't blogged so I was like 'I tell people off when they don't blog' - plus, two people have asked me if I have blogged today, and I had to say no. Now I can tell them that I have, and it'll make them happy I bet... ha!
Anyways, I'm finished work for this week. I would almost say 'Praise God' but it would almost make it sound like I didn't like where I work - which I really do. I'm so lucky to have April (an amazing friend) as a co-partner. :) It keeps the CAP more exciting. ha! As if the CAP would ever get boring eh?
Well, I gotta comment on what I done tonight. I was at the CAP and a lady from our town came in with her kid - a two year old little girl. Well I showed the parent how to do some things on the computer and then I was like 'I'll keep the kid occupied so she can get her work done'. Man, what a laugh I had with her. I had a CAP balloon blew up and we played with that. I was throwing it back and forth with her for about a good half hour. Then we used it to play 'soccer' and then I was flicking the balloon at her and she would laugh so hard. It was SO cute, I loved it. I always said I wasn't sure if I ever wanted kids after I was married but man, if my kid can be that fun - I want one. Anyways, my mind is totally set on having kids now - well not set.. but it confirmed that I do want kids and I don't really know why I said I never wanted any in the first place.
Anyways, I'm 100% NOT ready for kids yet, maybe in a few years (like 4+) I'll settle down (if I can find someone dumb enough to marry me.. haha, just kidding) and maybe, when the time is right we can start our own little family... aww... how sweet!
But yeah, the kid taught me alot tonight! :) - Thanks kid!
But yeah, Had a blast overall today at work. April and I went out and delivered the town's newspaper - the favorite part is easily when we had the good ol' Christian music blasting and I was shouting 'Praise Him Burlington' ... April still thinks I'm crazy but hey, the least we can do is offer ALL the praises we can! :)
But yeah, I'm hitting the hay now!
Peace
Prayers
Keep It!

Umm.. okay - April told me to blog and I was totally singing a Carrie Underwood song - OUCH! I totally hate Carrie Underwood's songs.. ha! I don't even know which it was - all I know I was singing the words 'let the weak be strong'... bahaha!
Anyways, let me start this blog over;

Yeah... it's scary isn't it! ha!
Anyways, real tough day a work today! haha! Joking. It was fun though. Had cyber camp - two kids showed up... we had 8 the last time tho... haha! Anyways, we punched the hours with that... to be honest, I was dreading cyber camp but I actually like it. It's fun. I even think I like kids more... *tries hard to keep a straight face*.... oh my, the silliness I gets off with.

Chapter 73: I Ain't Cheep Either
Hey;
So, how was everyone's day? Mine was actually good because this is the first day (since 11am at the least) that my head hasn't been hurting VERY bad! :) I'm actually proud that I haven't taken a pill in about 10:30ish - it's not fun and I HATE taking pills, BUT when it comes to pain in my head I can't handle it therefore pills come in handy.
Anyways, if you haven't noticed (if you didn't leave now.. haha) I have a new look - again. I'm still looking around for 'the one' but I actually like this one. I'm trying to fix up a few bugs it has but nothing major so... it's all good. This one looks a little more 'grown up' if you wish, which is the kind of look I'm going for. :)
Anyways, that's not the point of this blog, but rather I just wanted to very simply comment on something I just watched on TV. I got home from work and sat down with a hamburger(yes, it was my supper) I flicked on the Prayer Palace. The pastor on there was singing 'I was bought by God' and when he stopped he said 'I wasn't cheep either'. I'll admit that I wasn't really listening to the words of the song but caught the last part. When he said that comment I just stared at the screen. I didn't get it. - Until he started to sing again.
But hey, 'I'M NOT CHEEP'! I'm not! I was bought with a price, and it what it costed is just a 'tad bit more' then ANYONE else is willing to pay for me. Some people might not even pay a nickle for me, while others might just pay a toonie or two but there is ONE person that paid for me, all of me. Jesus paid the ultimate price for me when he took my place on the cross. When he shed his blood and gave himself for me - THAT was what he paid with - His life!
Jesus not ony paid for me, but he paid for YOU! That's right, when he died - he died for YOU too!
After the pastor from Prayer Palace sang, he opened it up to anyone who wanted to 'come to know Jesus as their personal saviour'. I want to invite you to do that as well. It doesn't matter where you are, who you are or what you have done in your life. Jesus paid for ALL of it and he WANTS to have you, all of you. I trust that you would make the lifelong choice to live for Jesus and be a part of the eternal life that HE offers so freely.
God Bless

Chapter 72: I Prepare For Battle On My Knees
Hey Everyone;
It's a new day - a new life - and I'm feeling good! Despite the pain I'm in since I had my tooth pulled last week (it's still healing) I'm doing awesome now. :)
Okay, I'm only here for a second but I have to post the lyrics to this BEAUTIFUL SONG! It's called 'I Prepare For Battle On My Knees' sung by the Crabb Family. Rudy sent me the song via MSN a few weeks back and I have listened to it a few times but now it's growing on me. The more I think of it - I live by this song. If we want to get through ANY battle, we HAVE to get on our knees first. I find such comfort in this song and I think you will too. Anyways, that's all I had to say at the moment. Other then this, I'm working on a mini 'sermon' if you wish to call it that, it's rather a 'personal devotion' but once it's done I'll post it. So far it's been helping me at this point in my life!
Enjoy the lyrics:
What an honor to be called a "Soldier of the Cross
An army that has never turned back
And never suffered loss
Our weapons are not carnal, our strong
hold you can't see
This army becomes mighty by time spent on our knees.
I'm not ashamed for you to see
This soldier on his knees
You might even see a tear or hear a humble plea
Some may call it weakness
Some may question my strength
Oh, but you must see this power's not of me
I prepare for battle on my knees
I've watched mothers pray for children
So lost and full of sin
And I've seen those same prayers answer
As the spirit brought them in
And I have watched old Satan
Like a dark cloud hanging o'er
But with a little talk with Jesus
The clouds were there no more
I'm not ashamed for you to see
This soldier on his knees
You might even see a tear or hear a humble plea
Some may call it weakness
Some may question my strength
Oh, but you must see this power's not of me
I prepare for battle on my knees
I prepare for battle on my knees
On my knees
Yup! Just beautiful!
Keep It
Peace
Prayers
Joshua

Chapter 70: What's The Point of Friends?
Hey,
Oh my, tonight is SO NOT a good night for me. I honestly TRY to help out a friend and it all backfires on me and then they get physically mad at me, then another friend butts in and takes it from there - all it done was add to the pain!
After that, I just stormed out of the house and went for a walk. I ended up on the wharf in town and just sat there - starring. It was nice though, actually peaceful. After that, I was walking towards home again and got to thinking - what is a friend?
Wikipedia defines 'friendship' as 'a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more social entities' - well tonight's thing didn't show ANY co-operative OR supportive behaviour - guess that proves just what it was in the first place.
'What are friendships for anyways? Don't push me away, sometimes we all need a hand to help us to get by.' that is a new favorite song of mine but I guess it doesn't suit the moment!
Why doesn't anything work out for me lately - depressing pout! haha!
Oh well, only 58 days til Edmonton - hopefully I'll meet some friends up there, I'm sure I will.
Bah - this post it total bull - pointless... I'm more the less just clearing my head before I go to sleep... and I needed to write it somewhere.
HAVE A GOOD ONE
PEACE

Chapter 69: Happy Canada Day
Hey People;
Just stopped in to wish you all a very happy Canada Day! I took a whole two minutes and drew this picture for you:
Hope you all have a safe, HAPPY and FUN weekend! :)
On a completely different note, Canadian Idol 4 has some good contestants tho eh? Since it's season FOUR, I'll list my favorite four:
Keith MacPherson
Ashley Coulter
Chad Doucette
Sheldon Elter
Now, Sheldon may be replaced and Ashley may be too - let's see how they do next week. But Keith and Chad have amazing vocals. Brandon is a favorite too - haha! Anyways, the summer is only young and we'll see alot more of them this year I'm sure! (My super early prediction is Chad for the win, or at least top 3) Again, that's an early prediction!
Anyways, yeah - that's all I had to say for now!
Have a good one
Peace
Prayers
Joshua
