Chapter 88: Steffi D, Planes, Peace?

Hey;

It's me again- I could have just posted this in the other blog but I was like.. umm 'an extra blog chapter'- that was good enough for me. I am bound to reach my 99th blog by the time I leave.. which might I add is in a little more then two weeks. -yey!

Anyways... yeah- the title: Steffi D - SO far she's in the top 6 on Canadian Idol... she's a deadly performer and seems to be an amazing person (but hey, it could be just a front right?-lets not be naive here)... but yeah- my favorite performance HAS to be 'It's My Life' - she KICKED IT! Literally.. she kicked the stool off the stage.. haha! She's 'so exciting' - just like Jake Gold says! :) She offers something new each week and to me.. that's what the 'Canadian Idol' should be.. someone who is different from the rest, someone exciting and someone who offers something NEW! THAT my friend is STEFFI D! :) (PS.. VOTE FOR STEFFI-lol)

Here's Steffi:



Planes- despite the fact that I am getting on a one to fly out in again, little over two weeks- and all this happenings now.. I'm still not scared nor nervous. I have trust in the security measures they are putting in place and if it DO go down... I'll send my best wishes via this blog! :) GO BUSH!

Peace- the war in Israel is growing.. even though the UN has signed the Peace thingy... *cough, rapture is soon, cough* - it's only the matter of time until things die down, Jesus comes back and then things gets REALLY nasty! - I know I'll be outta here so.. best of luck to ya all! :)

Chapter 87: God Water - Crazy?

Hey;

okay- look at this:

(if you can't read that there- click here)

Okay, lets very quickly look back at the history of 'water coming from things' - in a Godly sense... We know that Moses got water from a rock after he hit it with his staff - this took place in Exodus... Umm.. anything else?

SO--- is this poor woman gone crazy or are we just overlooking things God puts around us?

I'll let you think about that one.

Peace

Chapter 86: Holding It Back Long Enough

Hey;

Okay. I’m going to be super blunt in this blog and it’s gonna be entirely about Canadian Idol Season 4.

Rob James SHOULD NEVER be allowed ON the show. My opinion is that he shouldn’t have been even allowed to try out. He was a signed artist who failed. NOW he’s trying to make a come back- you’d think he’d step aside gracefully.. He had his chance and blew it... so get off the stage!

Tyler Lewis: I wasn’t a fan until last night. WOW! He guy reminds me of Rex Goudie in so many ways it’s freaky BUT personally, in my opinion- he can sing just a little bit better. Now I’m not saying Rex can’t sing, just in my taste, Tyler would have beat him. Top 5 material for sure!

Eva: The judges keep praising her up and I keep putting her down. We already have a Melissa O’Neil. She should be in the top 4 sure, but any further it would be a shame on Canada.

Chad: Can you say WINNER! Despite his weak performance last week, he still should win. Deadly singing, seems to have the personality for it... can he pull off the win? HE SHOULD CANADA!

Ashley Coulter: I was a fan when she audition but now she seems to try hard for a Suzi Rawn sort of thing. Based on ‘Knocking on Heavens Door’ she’s outta my book as a favorite... she should go this week.

Craig: This is what Newfoundland is offering as talent this year- to ALL of Canada..... and to be honest, I’m proud that we are. This kid has pipes man! NO DOUBT one of the best vocalist they EVER had on the show (and I watch every one)! This kid might not win but he’ll go far without a doubt... if Sony won’t sign him.. I will! Wait, I don’t have a record company (which is a life long goal for me)... but if I did, smart move would be to sign Craig.

Steffi D: SO AMAZING! WOW! SUPER! WONDERFUL! EXCITING! Steffi is everything a Canadian Idol should be! However, Canada sucks at voting and actually (I’ll even go as bold and say) they WON’T accept Steffi’s ‘through the roof’ talent! THIS GIRL KISS BUTT PRETTY BAD! SHE MAKES THE REST OF THEM ‘idols’ SEEM ALMOST... KARAOKE!

THERE! MY TRUTH ABOUT YOUR TOP 7!

Peace

Chapter 85: A New Low

Hey Guys;

Just gonna make this quite, and let you all know about a new low that happened here. Saturday night (late in the night so really it was Sunday morning) some idiots went into the graveyard here in town and kicked over 22 headstones. Sunday morning, a berry picker saw the happenings and reported it to the RCMP. They came over, took pictures- that's it. Now the have released a press release (Rudy thinks it much be a 'big case') and it should be. You see this stuff happen in larger places but never in the 'small' place- but is this what this town is coming to? SICK! These people should be caught and charged with everything they could be charged with. If they're underage, well- they'll get a slap on the wrist and be sent on their way... and they tell me there is nothing wrong with the justice system? I laugh!

Well, it's no doubt a new low for this town. I am honestly disappointed that such a thing would happen here. It was pretty hard for some of the 'older' folks here yesterday as well, as they look at what was done to their parents gravesites and their husbands, wives and other family. Many people cried with broken hearts and some more expressed their anger, and I don't blame them.

On a side note, I would like to ask that ANYONE who knows ANYTHING about this.. report it to the RCMP. If you don't want to 'get involved' as such, tell someone - like a parent or another friend- anyone who would bring it forth. Tell me if you have to, I don't have no trouble in reporting things that's for sure. Anyways.. keep an ear open and with that said...

Peace Out

*There were 11 contestants in the first season, had to use one spot again-see 8th place*

Ta Da! It’s done. I would comment on them all but I won’t even dare... haha! But yeah- that is my stand on the Canadian Idol Top 10's... Some of them were easy to place and some more were harder then hard. I didn’t really want to put Casey in the bottom-(10th) BUT out of all last season, I just had to. I would switch Kati and Rob for season four BUT I don’t even think Rob should be in the top 10. I didn’t want to put Aaron in 8th place either but hey...
Anyways, again- that is my stand.



Peace

Chapter 83: Change Is Gonna Come

Hello to one and all;

As you know, my time in Newfoundland is drawing closer and closer -shame eh? (haha) This evening passed by pretty quickly, thanks to the help of my tv set. I never done to much all day to be exact - fiddled around on my laptop for a bit, was online already for a few times... everything seems to be dead on that - I really want some new cool sites to go on, but nothing is out there... or at least I can’t find anything. But yeah... I also watch a movie- yes... it was a ‘chick flick’ - haha! Real masculine eh? ‘Riding In Cars With Boys’ was the name of it... yet it has nothing to do with a car, nor do it have anything to do with ‘boys’... it’s basically about this young girl with big dreams for her life. She ends up going to a party, meeting this ‘low life’ guy... and then a few weeks later, she finds out she’s pregnant for him. The story jumps from really early years (about 1930's maybe) then up to the 1960's or around there. It pretty much shows her life growing up, how she had the kid, how hard life was. Her husband (the low life guy) turns out a drug addict and leaves her with a 10 year old kid. She works hard ALL of her life, time and time again... something ‘good’ would happen but it would mess up and she would loose it (ex: an interview from a scholarship to NYU BUT her husband forgets about it and she had to bring the kid to the interview, and they didn’t like that fact and she ends up with no scholarship). She is an amazing writer... but she can never succeed and she learns to accept it. Finally, she works with a newspaper and works hard to write a memoir about herself entitled ‘Riding In Cars With Boys’- and she needs her ex husbands signature to publish it (since he’s in it) and then yada-yada-yada.. I’ll leave it at that.. But yeah, it’s good to say the least. Despite the few cusses and the fact that her husband was a drunk and a dope addict - PLUS the fact she was busted for drying ‘weed in her oven’ for her neighbour....

Anyways, yeah.. Again, it was good to say the least. :)

I really should get going- but before I go, I’m gonna tie in my chapter title: ‘Change Is Gonna Come’.. I know it’s a song, btu have no clue who sings it, what song it is, or what it is about. I just remember that little part- Taylor Hicks may have sung it on American Idol this year.. lol. But yeah... after the movie - I done up a list of things I have to take with me at the end of this month.. Lots! Then I got to thinking... ‘Change IS Going To Come’! FOR REAL! I have been thinking that ‘yeah, I’m moving soon’ but now it’s hitting home (and I’m happy for sure) and I’m like ‘CHANGE IS GONNA COME’! I’m moving... leaving... hopefully for good! :)
But yeah.. I’ll post more about it eventually... I’m still trying to get to post #99 before I go cause my plan is to be #100 when I hit Edmonton... :)

But I really don’t think I’ll make the cut! :)
We’ll see...

Peace
Prayers

PS... A Spoiler for the BB7 fans.. James and Jainee are put up for eviction this week... AFTER Danielle won HOH!

Chapter 82: A Tribute To The Grade 9 Graduates

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
