Chapter 19: Sick and New Entertainers

Hey Everyone

How’s it going? Good I’m assuming! I’m not feeling that good today actually. I missed school today because I have (had) a really bad head ache for most of the day. My stomach has been killing me most of the day as well. I don’t know what’s wrong – but I’m not feeling that well. I had to take a Tylenol (which I like, never do cause it’s a man made drug – which I don’t like to take) Anyways, yeah – I never done anything all day because I’ve been sick. So this post is super boring! Ha!

Well, here is one thing I can tell you about:

There is a BRAND NEW entertainers out on the floor now: Natural Born Singers – They are amazing! You can check them out at www.naturalbornsingers.blogspot.com

Be sure to pass the address around and tell everyone you know! Make sure you post your comments on the site too! Anyways, yeah – I am gonna take off! I’m gonna lie down I think – besides I am watching “Friends” which is one of my favorite shows! It’s almost over tho!

Cheers People!

Prayers:

Chapter 18: Stressed out and Preachin'

Praise God!

Welcome to my newest blog. This one won’t be of any great significance or anything but (wait, does any of my blogs have significance?..lol - yes, yes they do, even if you don’t think they have it) anyways, but yeah. I am not in an overly good mood, but it’s good to be home! School was way to hectic for me today. (Which say isn’t eh? -lol) But yeah - today was just overly bad. Harvey nearly killed me this morning in Science, snooze, snooze, SNOOZE! Holy cow man! Not fit! I think I fell asleep once or twice, and to make matters worst Tash wasn’t even there. Shameful it was. -lol
Next I had Math, it was ok. Geography followed and trust me, if I had a way to get out of it I so would. We have a mid term on Thursday in it. Not fit at all. I’m thinking about dropping Academic Geography because I really wants to focus in on my English 110%! I needs English more then Geography anyways, so - yeah! I’ll see how that goes.

Anyways, Council meeting today was horrible. I won’t go into much detail because it’s all between the council members but it was one big racket. Despite the racket we managed to get it settled but it was easily seen the some people didn’t approve of it. Thank God for the good ol’ voting system - haha! Now, for the funny part - wait I won’t even, but trust me - it is a pretty good case of Karma (as if it even exist, but.. If it did..lol) Oh my, but yeah, as you can see, today was a lil’ bit stressed.

So yeah, I am reading Exodus now in my bible. Quite interesting man! Moses was an amazing person and man, how did he obey God! I’m only at chapter 10, but I only started last night. I think we all needs to catch up on our devotional time. Personally I have been neglecting it a lil’ more then I should have been. I know it’s hard to actually sit down and read and “study”, especially when you’re not a fan of reading (but I usually am)... I think it’s something we all struggle with, but man, when we do focus in and study God’s word, things happen. Praise God! You learn so much, grow so much and more besides. God really opens your eyes, and ears and just gives you a clear mind in a lot of situations. So guys, I’m encouraging you all to start reading more and more. Even when you don’t feel like it, do it anyways. Same goes to prayer. That is one thing (of a nice few things actually) that ties us closer to God. Personally prayer is the one thing that keeps me sane during the days. Now I don’t mean you kneel at your bed and pray your little heart out and fold your hands and blah, blah, blah.... suppose it’s even praying during a class at school, a few minutes at work, wherever - it really, REALLY helps - a lot! We should be spending more and more time praying and reading our Bibles and stuff... if we want to see a change, we need to change!  Praise God! We need to fix our lives entirely on God and not on the world. Anyways, I can start to preach now but I won’t - lol - but yeah, just thought I’d have my say for today!

Church was good last night, I left before “preaching” because my back and head were killing me. God moved and it’s good. Rudy told me (well his blog did..lol) all about it. God is moving guys, and we need to prepare ourselves so that we don’t be left out of His works! Anyways, yeah, I think I am gonna head off - yet again -

So yeah, thanks for listening (well really it’s reading..lol)

God Bless & Prayers

Chapter 17: Beauty, Chess and Movies

Hello Once Again,

What a bunch! Ha! I can’t believe it – this is totally shocking! It’s BEAUTIFUL outside. Holy cow! There is mild clouds but they are nice and white and they don’t look threatful at all…. And the SUN – YES THE ACTAUL SUN – is out, shining BIG and BRIGHT! The sky is bright blue and it’s wonderful! I love it! The snow looks really nice too, with the glow of the sun on it. Blinding, but nice. I am going to take the next few days and bast in the glory of the nice weather because sadly- they are calling for yet another blast of winter. Yes, another blizzard! I heard it is going to start Wednesday, I really, REALLY hope not tho. We have more then enough snow by now! I can handle this amount, but anymore I’ll be sending MYSELF to a nuthouse! Ha! That poor ol’ nuthouse – so many people make fun of it! God bless em’!

Anyways, how is everyone going? I’m assuming good. I’m good, I’ve been keeping myself busy (just for the fact that Thursday and Friday had me DROVE OUT OF MY MIND with the blizzard we had. I was up to Char’s last night. We had a game of chess. And guess what! I beat her! Ha! I nailed her at the first, nearly wiping out her side of the board, but somehow I lost all concentration and she wiped out some of mine. Finally we managed to get tied! (I had to get rid of some of mine to wipe her out for good…lol) We came down to each person had one knight and (of course) one king… we played with that for a bit and she started to argue that it was impossible for either to win, but I knew of of us could. So I proved it! I moved and moved, with a plan all sot out. And finally, I managed to get her knight. Now it was time to come in for the “kill”! Not long after I trapped her in the corner and BANG – CHECK and MATE! YEY! I loved it so much I jumped up and done my “chess-winning happy dance” (ok, that was a rip off of that “lotto 649 million dollar happy dance”..lol) and her dog ran in and started to jump on me.. So I stopped! HA! It was fun! Anyways, we all piled on one couch and watched a movie and ate chips! Ha! I wasn’t paying attention to the movie at all tho.. ha! Anyways, yeah! I went home at 11:30 and started to watch Madagascar – and now I will talk about what I done since then:

Madagascar(2005) – I love it! It is 100% hilarious. Ben Stiller (who played Alex the Lion) was so funny. I think someone else should have played him though. Chris Rock – you couldn’t ask for a better Marty (the zebra). He was born for this part! Ha! My personal favorite was Melman who was played by none-other then David Schwimmer. He is like one of THE BEST actors known to this earth (or at least modern day actors. It was amazing. I wish he played a more major character in the movie. Jada (who played Gloria) was surprisingly good as well. I can think of someone who should have played her but, oh well. It all came out good!




After Madagascar I watched Shark Tale. It’s starting to get old, but hey – it’s still good! I love the way the animators made the characters look a little like the actual people playing them. (Ex. Oscar looked JUST LIKE Will Smith). It was so comical. The story had a good plot to it too. It taught (or should have at lease) that people can try to look different from what they really are, but in the end, you are still the same person as you always were. And another thing was that - Don’t change who you really are just to impress someone. Be yourself, everyone likes you better when you are. So yeah! Anyways, it’s a pretty good movie and props to the crew that made it.


After that one, I watch the brand new – FLIGHTPLAN! And man, wasn’t it good! It HAS to make it into my “favorites list” and might just even make it to be the number one (for now). It is simply amazing. The actors/actresses are amazing. The movie is so suspenseful and surprisingly clean. And by that I mean there is a minimal amount of swearing/cussing. There was only one time I really noticed it actually. Goes to show all those people who says “you can’t find a good movie without swearing in it” are WRONG. Anyone that says this HAVEN’T seen Flightplan. And to anyone who says that, (about swearing in movies) you can slap this movie right in their face. Jodie Foster was amazing. The movie had to be written around her (and actually it was). Peter Sarsguaard was pretty good too. Foster played a mother who was flying her dead husband’s body home from Berlin to New York for burial. She got on the plan with her little girl (six year old daughter) and fell asleep shortly after with her by her side. When she woke up she was gone, so like anyone would started and look for her. After searching she begins to panic and goes to higher authority (the pilot) and he demands a search. After a while (of her freaking out) a “cop” (he wasn’t a cope but I can’t remember exactly what he was – but it’s basically the same thing) arrest her and keeps her in his eye because she’s freaking out everyone else on the plan. Reports from the pilot comes back saying the little girl never got on the plane and that she must have imagined it. The story keeps you going, on and on too! Which is pretty good. After the pilot tells her that her daughter is dead and she must be in a casket below. She runs away, and managed to get down in the deck of the plane to find one casket belonging to her husband. Thing is, it’s packed full of explosives. I’ll leave it at that, I pretty much ruined the movie for everyone now anyways but, it’s still amazing and everyone should watch it. Anyways, I wants to tell you all what happens but I won’t – just because I might have people on me to kill me after for ruining such an amazing movie for them! (lol).. so yeah, anyways… That’s it! Ha!

Anyways, I think this is starting to get way to long and people might not even read this now! But if you are, and did read down this far. Thanks for doing so!

So with that.. God Bless, Prayers and Cheers

Chapter 16: Snow, Snow And Havin' Fun

Hey Everyone;

Another day, another Post! Ha!

Well, I woke up rather early for a Saturday morning – 8am to eat breakfast and then had to go out to do the snow. It took me TWO HOURS to clear it all, and the dumb snow blower didn’t work at all and dad had to get Sterl to come and help with his tracker thingy to clear some of it. It wasn’t much fun at all. I was so tired! Ha!

Well then, Rudy and I were having some good fun today! I’ll link ya all later to it, once I can get it uploaded. You have to look at it! It is pretty big, but its worth it! Anyways…

So yeah,… what did ye do all day? There wasn’t a whole lot to do now was there? Probably clear away all the snow! We had a lot of it man – and I hate it! Ha!

Anyways, I am gonna go. I have to get ready to go up to Char’s or Kel’s for a movie or something.. give me something to do!

Prayers

Plus I have CAP tomorrow and yeah, it’s not gonna be fun! The CAP better be shoveled out for me too! I remember last year I went over with Kel, and we had to wait for Nelson to come and shovel us out, and another time we walked over and I had to get a shovel and make a path all the way in! It was horrible! Ha! Anyways, I’ll make Rudy shovel a path this time around… lol… JK Rud’ by’! Ha!

So yeah, well then… We never had school for the past two days, yesterday I thought I was gonna die, but today was much better! It was a lot less stressful for me!

Shame on us,… we haven’t talked for more then 5 minutes all day! Horrible! I miss you so much! Lol… Miss you too Kel.. But I talked to you once or twice, but still.. noone even calls me anymore!

Chapter 13: Sorry


Hey Everyone
Right off the bat I want to apologize to everyone for not posting yesterday, it seems I am having some serious problems with spyware on my laptop and it’s really messing me up. I don’t really know for sure what spyware is but I was informed that there are different kinds and some serious ones are out there where they can even see exactly what you are doing. I download Spybot (a spyware removal program) and have done about 20+ scans and have deleted a number of things but yet, it still says I have some. I’m just gonna say "crap with it" and get someone to look at it, someone who knows what they are doing at lease... Ha!
Anyways, well not a whole lot is new with me - I have been having a pretty bad day today, it’s snowing, my stress level is up to the roof because of school, wondering if I will get accepted to Vanguard or not, then everything else I’m involved with, then it seems like my social life is smaller then a speck of dust, I talked to Kel and Char for like 20 minutes each today and that’s it. The rest I have been home trying to get online to post this blog and it hasn’t worked all day. I got really sick of trying and that caused me to be upset and that lead to more stressed... lol... I need a walk! lol.... but it’s a blizzard outside so I won’t be doing that today anytime soon... :( Maybe tomorrow - if the snow ever stops! There was no school all day because of it.Well anyways, yeah... I am VERY BORED and can’t even get a hold of anyone to talk to - at lease it would cut down on my boredom - I’m starting to think everyone is trying to ignore me.. lol...
Oh well.. Looks like it’s just me and you bloggie by’... I can write stuff here all I wants and if people are bored enough, they might - just might - read what I write. But at times like this, I doubt people want to read my stuff, all complaining... but hey, everyone needs to complain at some point! :)

Do you like this picture? I made it today... I'm working on a lil' message about it.. I'll let you read the verse and base it on what you think.. for now at lease... so yeah... anyways, I'm gone!

So yeah, I’m gonna take off now!
Prayers~Josh
