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 »

Hello to anyone who is reading this,

Last Friday night Dad and I had a sort of Birthday Party at the family’s lake house. There were 12 people there (just like the disciples). There was Dad, Grandpa Gary, Cousin Ben, Mr. Crishon, Mr. Sam, Mr. Bartow, Mr. Phil, Mr. Ken, Mr. Ross, Pastor Jim, Mr. Stuart, and myself (the man of the hour). So we had Hamburgers, beans (I’m still trying to figure out why that room smelled so bad), three different kinds of chips, pretzels, corn, and several different drinks. Then after dinner we talked and talked, and talked, and talked (do you get my point?). It took a while and I got a lot of advice (I only remember bits and pieces of it). Then we all prayed and that took another ten minutes. After that we filed into Continue Reading »

The Redsox won, yes! Our Fantasy Team is winning, yes!  The Patriots won, yes! The Gators almost won, yes!  To bad they didn’t actually do it, Nnoooooooo!  I think it is a rebuilding year, how about you?  That’s a stupid question but oh well.  School is very boring, have you ever noticed that?  I hope the Gators win on my Birthday, they better win (note: they are playing a really hard one, Florida Atlantic University).  Does anyone even know who they are???  If Florida wins a few more games they’ll at least make it into a bowl game.  Next year ought to be good though.

The Red Sox Game is on tonight and I’m going to keep track of it.  They are in Game 2 of the World Series they currently lead the series 1-0.  I think that they should win.  Not by last night’s margin of 13-1 but they should win.  I’m going to go and do my stuff now but I just figured that I oughta check in.  The Gators play on Saturday in Jacksonville.  I hope they beat Georgia.  Maybe Auburn will lose their game just for me (bet you’d like that huh RC).
