Hello,

I’m having Missions Trip trouble!!! It feels like one of those movies where everything goes wrong for one poor character. First off, I’m sick (that doesn’t affect the trip but it’s not fun). Second, there is a Yellow Fever Outbreak in Paraguay just outside of Asuncion. These things just seem to always happen to me. The thing is that I hate, absolutely hate shots. I’ve kicked a nurse before I hate shots so much. Life is cruel to poor sick me. I hope the shots don’t hurt too badly. Hopefully I won’t need any more than that one shot. BTW, if you check out the test church website please leave a comment on my Blog about what can be improved on the site.

Sickly Exiting,

YO!

How’s it going? The odds of you answering are slim but I still feel obligated to ask. I suppose that the Blog isn’t about the reader but the Blogger, right? Oops, I did it again. I can’t believe I’m typing as if I’m actually holding a conversation…hmm, I’ll have to think about that idea. Am I wandering? Drat, I’m still acting like I know you and that you know me and we’re carrying on some sort of Conversation that’s actually only me talking. Egad I need to stop those run-ons. Continue Reading »

Hello,

It is me again, late as usual but I’m here…ish. I’m going on a short-term missions trip to Paraguay in April with my Dad. I wouldn’t think to leave him out of such fun. If you want to know how it was when I get back please leave your name and email address in a comment.

Okay, I’ve covered the future so now to the past which happened previously.  Two Continue Reading »

Howdy do ya’ll,

Later today I’m going to Winter Jam at the Sun Dome in Tampa, Florida.  Grandma El is here to watch us because Dad is at work and Mom is at a beach somewhere on the coast cropping.  So here I am with my Grandmother and my two sisters.  Maybe I’ll get to play on the Xbox 360 later.  I’m excited and even a little nervous.  I think that Jack Fullerton from Karate might be there with Angelica.  I figured out how to use that Pine Tar soap that mom got for me too.  It’s time for breakfast now.

Aye, aye aye!

Here we are it is Friday afternoon and I’ve been up since 8:30!!  That’s early for me.  I’m averaging 9:30 these days.  I had a fast breakfast hurried to do 4 of 6 things due today before rushing to a Homeschool Christmas Party at 11.  It ended at 2 and we rushed home to finish school.  I finished at 3 and got on to do this while waiting for Mom to get back from a “quick” errand.  She’s been gone for a while now but should be back soon.  When she gets back it’s time to get Austin over the fence and through the woods to my house he goes.  Sorry, I’ve got Christmas songs in my head because of the party.  I’m tired and it sounds like Dad is too.  Just a finishing note for the day’s post: read Isaiah 53.  It’s only 12 verses I think and should take a whole whoppin’ 5 minutes.  With that I’m done.

Hi,

The coolest thing that has happened to me all year happened on Monday, well maybe going to the Final Four in Atlanta was better.  Okay, so this is the second coolest thing all year.  My buddy from Karate that I talk to whenever there is time to talk lives a fence hop away.  If you leave our driveway and turn right, next you turn left at the stop sign and go down a house go through the yard and hop the fence.  After that you just hop over another fence and then bang!!!  You are in his backyard.  It’s incredible!  I don’t believe it and I’ve known it for a week!  I’ve got his email address too.  Oh, and phone number.  I’ll be stuck with Austin for a long time.  I doubt that I’ll mind though.  Anyhow, I’ve gotta go!

Hi again,

The Good: Today is opening day at the theatre and hopefully I’m ready for running sound in The Beloved Dearly.

The Bad: Rick Reilly of Sports Illustrated Continue Reading »

Hello,

I am volunteering at the Ocala Civic Theatre in the Sound Booth.  The play is (Horn trumpeting here), “The Beloved Dearly” Abby is in it and Dad is running the light board.  The Light Board is in the Sound Booth but it isn’t attached to the Sound Board.  The Sound Board has 72 channels, 4 amps, 2 CD players, and zillions of other small things that I don’t know any reason for them to be there except to confuse me.  Today was my first day in the actual booth but not my first day there for this play.  I’m not sure if I did a good job but the guy who is teaching me is confident that I’ll be ready come performance time.  I am getting hints from my parents that perhaps I ought to be moving in the direction of bed but I need to finish first.  It is a cute play with a handful of kind of funny parts.  Including people rolling around on the ground crying, “I prom’se I’lltryharder. Ipromise!”

Hopefully it won’t be to hard.  Dad says that I’m in “seventh heaven.”  I’m not so sure quite yet because they are still yet to bring the cake and ice cream up to me during performances and practices.  I’m gonna talk to them tomorrow.  In the meantime I hope that anyone, everyone, and all who read this have (had, will have, did have, or any other sort of tense for that meaning) a good night’s sleep.  Chao!

Hello Everybody (and that is anybody),

I’m here on Thanksgiving and ready to Rock (and sock)! I’ll probably do some socking once we make it to Mema’s house later today. I’m gonna bring my Xbox 360 and bring this awesome (hence the title) video game. Hopefully I can rock the Orcs and clobber the Uruk-hai when I play. Hold on, I forgot to tell you what game it is. It is (drum roll please) Battle for Middle Earth II. Yeah, I did the Tutorials and burned the goblins to ashes as the Continue Reading »

My post that I did last night wasn’t all that true, It was distorted due to several items:

I was upset with my Mother for not letting me play on the Xbox 360,

I was trying to prepare myself for what I hoped would be a good night to possibly write a very sarcastic post about Fantasy Football,

and I was a little depressed after a hard day of School. Continue Reading »
