*GASP*

I bet everyone thought I was dead, huh? :P
I love the Joker
While Batman Begins is amazing
Dark Knight tops it, what more can I say?
And X-Men are cool!
I love superheroes it seems...
Except Superman.
He's just too super, if you know what I mean...
Oh and maybe someday I'll actually post again!
Meaning, besides, you know, now... hehe
P.S. I just realized that "P.S." sounds sort of like "psst" haha
(okay so maybe not, but it's the thought that counts, right?)
So, listen up when people say it! :P
EDIT: I only posted because I noticed that Lana took off her link to my blog :(
Comment? Anybody? Aww poor shame...

'bout time...

Well, I haven't posted in a looooooooong time.
So, I'll see if I can remember any important stuff that's happened duiring said looooooooong time.
ummm, Thanksgiving, which Lana posted about.
Jeremiah's birthday, which was fun. We went to Chuck E. Cheese's, which, is the best place in the world to spend money and time on stupid little prizes. I didn't even bother trying to get lots of tickets, 'cause I never get enough...;P
What else...(actually, I've got something else, I'm just trying to think of something ELSE to write about before the thing that I've already thought about)
We had a special dinner thing at church to kick off our Season of Blessing thingy. It's pretty neat, everybody gets ten bucks and has to use it to bless somebody in whatever way you feel led to. I haven't used mine yet... I guess because I haven't felt like I was supposed to...
Oh yeah! I thought of something cool! About a year ago, I borrowed Relient K's cd "Two Lefts Don't Make a Right but Three do", and I kinda lost it... But I found it the other day! Talk about awesomeness, 'cause I was gonna buy a Relient K cd because I had a huge lack of Relient K cd-nes, if that makes any sense...
But, in order to listen to a Relient K cd without disturbing your mother who doesn't happen to have the same taste in music as you(actually, she has no taste in music whatsoever...), you kinda have to have an mp3 player. So I got one. Not just any old mp3 player. An iPod, 'cause they're the best, in my opinion. And not just any iPod. nope. The one and only iPod Touch!!! It's flippin' sweet!!!!!! It's kinda like walmart, 'cause I lived just fine without it, but it sure is nice to have;P

So, yep, that was what I wanted to write about...

What else.... It freezing rained yesterday/today. Or would you say it rained freeze? Or maybe it frained... Why does everything have to be so confusing?!

I just thought of a couple more things.
We had a party for the end of Spanish class. Caleb and Jared/Steve(could somebody explain that to me please?) M., and I wanted to do a song(I think it's turning into a tradition...). We were gonna do the dance of the cucumber, but that didn't work out, so we just did Feliz Navidad. It didn't turn out quite like we planned, big surprise, but it was pretty fun.
Then yesterday we had a Christmas party in science class, and a test after that(unpleasant story in there...). I think I did pretty good on the test. It won't surprise me if I got it perfect, but then again it won't surprise me if I didn't either;P

Okay, let me see if there's anything else worthy of posting about.....*scanning memory*.... Let's see.. We're going to Florida this summer! It's for a family reunion! I think we're staying for like, five days. Then there's around one-day driving each way, so about a week long deal. It'll be fun! I haven't been to the ocean in a couple of years...

Well, I think that's about it for now... maybe... yep, I think it is...



What?! You're still here? I said that's it! Bye-bye! so long! see ya later






Come on! Don't you understand English? yeah, me neither...;P

The scrolls, the scrolls, the buttons, the buttons. Srollin' so smooth like the butter on the muffins

If you don't know what the title is from, then don't even ask...




I'm tired, so I'm likely to not make sense.


I have random movie quotes running through my brain...


I like pumpkin pie.


My legs hurt.


Dad's playing the wii. ACK! The TV is WAY too loud! He turned it down. Not that any of that matters...


Kit-Kat bars are the best. Except for Twix, and maybe Skors...


I just had a thought. Then it left me.


The reason I get lost in thought: It's un-familiar territory.


That's actually not entirely true, but the thought crossed my mind(it never stopped though).




Oh, yeah! I almost forgot!


As some of you may know, T.J. works for Tri-Sign,


and the other day they only had two people available, and they needed three.


So I got to go and help fix a sign.


Which means I got to climb an insanely steep ladder,


and then go in one of THESE!

Total sweetness!! The arm goes 65 feet high, and we went almost all the way up!

It was fun...

Oh well, I think the compy is wanted, so I'd best get off now...

Tuesday, October 14, 2008

Don't you judge me, 'cause it wasn't until after that brick left my hand that I was thinking "this is probably not a good idea"

Yesterday (meaning 2 days before tomorrow), we went to a going-away party for one of dad's co-workers, and I got to spend some time with my buddy Zach!

I've known Zach for years. I met him when our family was doing a teen-ministry thing, going to a local apartment and bringing the teens back to our church for a lesson, pizza, and free-time (of course food and free-time, that's the only way you can get them to come! ;P), and his mom (another of dad's co-workers) came to help, so he got to come along. That was back when I was around 12, and Zach would've been 3 or 4....

Anyways, we ended that ministry awhile ago, so I haven't seen Zach since then.

So, yesterday, we pull up to his house and I go over to Zach and say, "hey, Zach, you remember me?". He was like, "Of course I remember you, I just didn't recognize you..."
He's 7 now, and he's a HUGE football whiz. If he tells you something about any sport, you can probably believe it's true.
I don't think he really wanted me to leave... He's too sweet, and funny. He even did an impression of his football coach! I almost died!!

So, what else is goin' on...... I figured out how to play something on the guitar, and it sounds so familiar, but I have no idea what it is. It's really bothering me... It's like when you have some stupid song stuck in your head, but you only know half of the words and it drives you crazy. Ugh, it's awful!

Man, you know something? That's good, cause you should know something. What's weird is how something means different things all the time. That sure is something, ain't it?;P

There was a cat-fight outside a minute ago. I hope Timone didn't get hurt, 'cause I saw him over where the noise was coming from...

Anyways (I say that a lot, don't I?), I need to finish up so I can head to bed(I didn't say "Fred". Oh, man, it came out anyways[AHHH!!!!!! I said anyways again!!!!])

I think I'll just stop writing now.... Well, I'll at least put my little endind thingy on here.

-Tony

There, isn't that a nice way to end something, with a name like that? I think all books should end like that instead of with a lame "the end".;P

Even on my worst day, at least I can say that I'm smarter than the average couch

Okay, the other day, I was walking to mom and dad's room, and as I'm passing the bathroom I hear, "Brandon! Oh my gosh! What's the matter with you? You wasted all the toilet paper!" Turns out that it was Josiah, and Brandon didn't "waste" the toilet paper, he just finished a roll. It was absolutely positively the one of the funniest things that I've heard lately. The other funny thing I actually made up, and it's a bit of an inside joke, so I'm not gonna tell you. *nyaa naa*;P

Yesterday, Brandon and I went over to the McC's house and watched the "Fellowship of the Ring: extended edition"! Andrew had never seen it, so I just had to scare him at the part where Bilbo jumps towards Frodo... Man, it was priceless...

Can't think of anything else to post about, but I'm gonna try to post at least once a week from now on. AND, Andrew, I know you read this every so often, so there's no excuse for your non-commentingness. So, remedy that sometime will ya? ;P

I cannot even begin to describe how much I would love not to go to prison

Hey everybody! I haven’t posted in weeks, but I’ll soon remedy that.
So, since my last post, we went on vacation to lake Bull Shoals and stayed there for a whole week. It was fun, but we were glad to get back home! My birthday was the 13th (write that on your calendars everyone, it‘s a important date ;P), and I had lots of fun! Lana and Luke came up too! I even got….*dramatic pause*….. A NEW CAR!!!!!!!!! It’s a 2006 Jaguar XK! The only problem with it is that it’s only about two inches long…;P So, yeah, I won’t be driving it. We went trout fishing (in America) on the White River a couple of times, and I caught my first ever trout! It was a 13” long rainbow trout, and it tasted pretty good too!
Sunday the 21st(better write this one down too ;P) was Brandon’s birthday (happy late birthday! Well, the birthday wasn‘t late, just the happy… Wait a minute, that doesn‘t sound right… anyways….). Brandon happens to share a birthday with Andrew McC, who also happens to be one of my best friends, so it’s not uncommon for our families to get together around birthday time. So, the McCs came to our house on Saturday(a LONG overdue visit) and we had burgers and a fire and smores and stuff… Lots O fun! Andrew is gonna get together with me sometime soon and we’re gonna watch LOTR(he hasn‘t seen them yet), which I can’t wait to do!
What else? My guitar case(b-day present from mom & dad) should be delivered tomorrow, and I’m SOOO excited! My guitar will have a HOME!!!! Hopefully it fits better than Andy‘s new doghouse ;P (Andy is from the pearls before swine comic) I ordered it from zzounds.com which has very good prices on most things, were talkin’ like around 40% off the normal price! Pretty sweet when you don’t want to spend more than you have to on something…
I’m gonna say something totally random here. My hair does weird things. Sometimes it will behave itself and get brushed(well, not really “brushed” per se, more “artistically placed“. Yeah, right… ), but sometimes it has a mind of it’s own. Today, I took a bath and didn’t even look in the mirror until about ½ hour later, when my hair was, for the most part, dry. What I saw in the aforementioned mirror was kinda funny, and it was almost an inspiration. My hair was sticking out and curling up all over the place and it actually looks kinda cool. Needless to say, I didn’t have the heart to brush it. So, my hair looks… interesting, to say the least. Ah, here we go, a picture… The picture doesn’t quite do it justice, but I think it’s pretty funny. I might even set it as my profile pic, just cause it’s weird…
I’m weird like that.;P
Oh well, it’s been fun, but I think I’ll call this post done(how‘d ya like that little rhyme? I do stuff like that all the time. ;P)

I've always wondered what it would be like to write a whole post on the title thingy... But I'm not going to today

I suppose it’s time for me to take the role of blog-writer once again.
Let us look back and see what awesome and stupid things I have done in the not-so-distant past…
School started this week. Can I get a “bless his heart”?;P It ain’t all that bad... Except for math *shudder*, but I think I’m over that now (at least, I'm supposed to be). Not much else goin’ on...
Fan the Flame is in 2 days!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you tell I’m excited? AND, my dad is driving a church van up there, so he gets to come too! Several times now, he has tried teasing me about not being able to go(of course, I'm virtually un-teasable, right? ;P), and I said it was ’cause he was jealous. But now, he has (basically) an obligation to go! As I said in a comment on the last post, 19 signed-up to go! I’m excited to see what God has in store for us. I’m also excited to see what all they changed up(and I know they changed things up, ‘cause, well, I just know). I guess I’m just plain excited! In fact, I’ll say it right now, I’M EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What else…. I got the first “Left Behind” book on Tuesday. I really liked it. In fact, I can’t wait to go to church on Sunday so I can get the second one! On second thought…. Never mind, I’ll be back at church on Tuesday for Spanish class again, so I can get the third book then. Which reminds me, Micro-biology stats on Monday. I’m looking forward to that, ‘cause I kinda like science. Any of y’all taking it too? Just wondering, ‘cause I’m gonna miss one week due to vacation, so I’m gonna need to get a copy of notes and homework and stuff.
I also have to go to bed, so, you know how that goes…..
BYE!
Tony
P.S. I’ll post that video later, Lana. I just didn’t want to have to find it right now.

From Paper to Plastic !

So, I got my restricted license last week! Now, I have photo I.D.! The dumb thing is, to get said license, you have to have a birth-certificate and another form of "secondary identification". What I want to get is, how is a 15 year old supposed to have a plethora of I.D.? AND, the nasty people at the DMV wouldn't take a year-book as I.D., so they sent us to the bank to have some person sign a paper saying that I am, in fact who I am, and that dad is, in fact, my father. Dad and I kinda looked at each other, and were like, "duh, can't you tell? you need somebody from a bank to tell you that?". Man, some things are so dumb and time-consuming. AND, when I took the road test, the guy fussed at me for backing out of the parking space, even though I did it EXACTLY how the book tells you to! Then, he started this whole talk about how they should take that out of the book because "you can't fully control your vehicle if you don't have two hands on the steering-wheel at all times"... And then he got onto me about the way I stopped, and said I didn't come to a "complete" stop, because he didn't get slammed back in his seat. Sigh, if he thinks I did bad, he must not have been the one to give Lana her road test, because there would've been no way she could have passed it.;P

Something kinda cool is, when I was getting the license, I got to say I wanted to be an organ donor. Not that I want to have to donate any organs right now, but it's cool to know that if something were to happen to me, I could maybe give somebody a chance for a better life...

Anyways, mom and dad's anniversary was Friday, so they went up to Tulsa and Lana and Luke came to our house to help out(or was it, "make out"???;P).

On Sunday, Tim didn't end up showing the FtF video, but we still had like, 15 people sign-up to go, and several more were going to think about it. Not too bad, seeing as how they didn't know hardly anything about it...

What else? umm, Brandon and I each started an iPod Touch fund. We figure, by the time we get enough money for them, they'll be cheaper, at least, I hope so... I'm not gonna buy any extra little stuff, and I'll save my b-day and Christmas money, splitting it between savings and my fund, so it shouldn't take more than a 1/2 million years or so to get enough...;P



Now for an outlook on the not so distant future.

We're going to some friend's house on Friday(that's getting more and more rare as our family get bigger, I don't think we'd fit at a lot of tables ;P)! We start school next Monday, and spanish class starts the Tuesday, so that's cool. Microbiology starts the 25th, so that's pretty awesome too.

Oh, duh! FtF is less than two weeks away!! I almost forgot to mention that. I'm really excited that the CCC youth group is finally going!! I'm hoping more people will sign up to go next week.



I'm gettin' hungry, so, I'm gonna go now

A POST

Hello, welcome to clevertony.blogspot.net. (It's ".com")
Oh, welcome to clevertony.blogspot.net-it's.com.
Hey everybody, this is, A POST!
Are y'all happy? ;P
Seriously, this is a post.
What's goin' on?...
We got "Wii Fit" the other day, and it's AWESOME!!!!!
We'd been trying to find one for like, several weeks.
And they finally had some at Best Buy.
We actually got three of them.
One for us, and the other two for people at dad's work
(they couldn't find any either).
I had to go to church on Friday to practice the skits.
I was about ready to pass out for the first hour or so,
because I felt awful and my part requires lots of yelling...
Oh well, the pains of acting.
I get my seat reserved at church on Sunday (it makes me feel special),
'cause we don't want us drama people to cause a scene just getting out of our seats.;P
Brandon and I watched the Platinum Edition Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King,
which was awesome!!!
What else?????
I went up to Luke's grand-parents house Tuesday evening/Wednesday to film Hunted,
and I think we finished almost all of my scenes,
including the much anticipated paintball scene(I was excited about that).
When we were having breakfast Wednesday,
Daniel looked over and saw some armidillos,
so we ran over there (barefoot), grabbed some rocks and had a war with 'em.
I hit one, but it ran into the woods.
When I got back over with Daniel,
he said one of them had fallen off of a small cliff thingy (around 15 feet high).
So, we climbed down (still barefoot),
but the dumb thing had crawled back were we couldn't get to it.
So Daniel went back up, and I stayed down there.
After a minute, it came out again, and Daniel threw a rock on it's head (from the top of the aforementioned small cliff-like thingy).
Then the thing started going bonkers and went into convulsions and stuff,
so I ran over to where it was and threw a rock at it and it ceased breathing.
So, I should get credit for killing it, but Daniel, will beg to differ.;P
What else?
Mom and dad's anniversary is next Friday,
whcih also means my permit expires next Friday
(not sure what we're doin' about that yet..)...
This is turning into an incredibly long and therefore probably boring post.
So, good-morning.
And in case I don't see you, "good-afternoon", "good-evening", and "good-night".
Except that it's already afternoon, so, that ruins that whole plan...
-Tony

Tuesday, July 22, 2008

I think a title is supposed to go here...

Brandon has been getting on to me for not posting a real post(of course, he hadn't updated in forever until this morning ;P), so, I might as well go ahead and post...

ummm, what's been going on???
Brandon and I have been roofing the barn, and we finished it this morning.
Mom hasn't been feeling well, so I have to help with cooking and such. Cooking isn't bad, it's the cleaning up after it(which, I don't always do...).
Brandon and I invented a new sport called, umm, "underwater kung fu", or something like that. It's pretty fun, because we can punch each other as hard as we want and it doesn't hurt! At least, not too bad...
I need to call Lana at some point today to ask her if she's gotten a copy of the FtF video to CCC yet, 'cause we need to start showing it in church this Sunday.
Speaking of Sunday, I kinda volunteered/got volunteered to do some short drama stuff to go along with a sermon. So I have to miss Sunday school next week to work on it.
It kinda stinks because "Elder selection Sunday" was last week, and in Sunday school we had a mock nomination thingy. But we were gonna see how our "votes" lined up with the actual votes. So I don't get to be in there for that.
We also nominated people from the youth group to be our leaders. I should've voted for myself, but I don't know how that would've worked.;P I know I got at least one vote though, because I heard someone say "How do you spell 'Lou....'?". It was kinda funny, especially since it turned out to be Joel M. that said it. Of course, then he asked me if I would vote for him... no way! ;P
Anyways, I'm doing a skit thing, and I get to be a wild preacher guy and hit people with a big bible. It's gotta be cool if I can do that! I really have no idea what I'm doing other than the vague description I just gave y'all.
There are four other skits too, but we haven't picked people for those yet. I probably won't be in those(at least not *all* of them) because I'm not sure if we'll be in town or not...

Oh, also, the Hildes are moving again. FAR away this time though:( I mean, really far...

Well, I'm being beckoned away from the compy, so, bye

A Long Rambling Post

We got 10 more chickens today (we only have two left from the 20 we got awhile back:( ), so now we have an even dozen. These new ones should start laying in about a month or so, so that's cool. But, it wasn't the coolest thing today, at least, not for me.
The coolest thing, was that when we pulled up to the lady's house to get the chickens, I saw a huge dog with a shaggy white coat with a few brownish spots, it's tail curled up over it's back, a huge bear-like head, and double dew-claws (yes, I noticed all of that in like, 10 seconds). Now, that may or may not mean anything to you, but I happen to know exactly what type of dog has those characteristics. I also happen to want one of those dogs very badly. It was a Great Pyrenees, or Pyrenean mountain dog.
These awesome dogs were bred to be fierce dogs of war, and I'm sure they were, but in times of peace, they were left out in the mountains to guard the sheep and goats. Since then, Great Pyrenees have been used to guard all kinds of livestock, all around the world.
Anyways, this lady had one. So, I start petting it, and I see another one come around the corner. But this one is all-white, and he was even bigger, he happened to be the first one's son. As we talk with the lady, she says that somebody wanted the dog to guard their goats, but this one wanted to be around people, so they gave it away for free(what were they thinking?!?!?!).
At first, the lady didn't know anything at all about the breed, but since she has had it, she hasn't had anything kill any of her chickens.
After awhile the dog had a litter of 7 puppies, gave 6 away and kept one for herself. The one that she kept is a male, and he's only one year old and he absolutely HUGE!!! And he hasn't even gotten his long coat yet!! (we asked if she wanted to sell him, but she didn't:( )
So this lady went from not knowing anything about these dogs, to telling us that she would "always have one" on her farm and that they're "worth their weight in gold".

I'm thinking that this is what we need to keep things from killing our chickens...
We asked her to give us a call if she hears of anybody wanting to get rid of one(which, sadly, happens a lot because they're awfully cute little puppies, then they turn into huge dogs...).

I really rambled on a lot there.... Bye!!

Fish doesn't like water

Here are some pics of Fish,
but she's a lot cuter in real life than she is in the pictures.
Plus, you can't see the patch of white on her neck.
Which makes her a cool cat, not a weird black one.

Cleaning herself
(of course, because cats freak out if they get dirty)


Walking away, because she's too cool for me.

Earlier today, she was sitting outside of the pool while we were swimming,
waiting for her breakfast (which was a little late...).
But I guess I didn't pay enough attention to her,
because as soon as I walked away,
she jumped right onto the edge of the pool.
Now, being the animal expert that I am, I know that cats don't like water.
So, I picked her up, dipped her feet in the water,
to show her that she wouldn't like it, and put her back on the ground.
She didn't get the hint.
As soon as I turned around, she jumped right back up, meowing her head off like crazy.
So, long story short, she got her food and then went to sleep in the sun to dry off.

I really don't know why I wrote that, but I had to write something else, so, I'll quit now

Happy Independence Day to YOU!!!!!!!

I LOVE the 4th of July!!!

Fun, food, fireworks, festivities, fun-ness, fire stuff, umm, I'm running out of words.

Anyways, it's one of my favorite holidays. I'm just gonna write a few quick things 'bout what's been going on, in no particular order.



We re-painted and replaced carpet in Lana's room, so it's now the playroom. Which means that the house should stay a little bit cleaner... I hope.

We got a bunch of stuff from Granny's house, and most of it is put up, I think.

Brandon and I have been riding T.J.'s dirtbike some, in our spare time. I finally got some "big" air!! Meaning like, 1 1/2 to 2 feet above the ground...

T.J. finally started posting on his blog, which is cool.

I still haven't thought of a good name for my kitten, and she's several months old. So, I'm open to suggestions.*hint*hint*

The pool-water is warm now, which is good because I strongly dislike cold water.

We're getting a new TV today, I think, but it might be later. Then, once we get it setup, we're gonna watch the "Two Towers" platinum edition!!!! I'm excited about that, 'cause the only extended one I've seen is the "Fellowship of the Ring", and it was AWESOME!!!

Umm, what else? T.J. is coming over later today.



I can't think of anything else worth saying, so, God bless, have a fun fourth, don't burn yourselves(I tend to do that with fireworks)!!!

A Fairy Tale

Lady, you wanted something random,
here it is
Please note that I did NOT write this,
and therefore I am not responsible
for any errors within this wonderful tale.
I got it from Daniel who got it from T-Rev etc.
~~~~~~~~
Once upon a time,
in a land far away,
a beautiful, independent,
self-assured princess
happened upon a frog as she sat,
contemplating ecological issues
on the shores of an unpolluted pond
in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped into the princess' lap
and said: "Elegant Lady,
I was once a handsome prince,
until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
One kiss from you, however,
and I will turn back
into the dapper, young prince that I am
and then, my sweet, we can marry
and setup housekeeping in your castle
with my mother,
where you can prepare my meals,
clean my clothes, bear my children,
and forever
feel grateful and happy doing so.
~~~~~~~~
That night,
as the princess dined sumptuously
on a divine meal of lightly sauteed frog legs
seasoned in a white wine
and onion cream sauce,
she chuckled and thought to herself:

I don't freakin' think so.

It's all so clear now

Well, I was gonna write about our trip to Kansas, but I don't really feel like it since I have something better to say.
Lets see... what's the best way to put this?
I have been thinking for awhile that mom might be pregnant,
just from tiny things that she's said.
But when she took a nap yesterday, and then threw-up later(both of which are rare),
I was pretty darn sure.
So, I went up to mom and asked if I could ask her a question.
"No", she replied, with a bit of... some look in her eye that I can't describe.
So, yeah, I figured it out.
It turns out that mom and dad weren't going to tell us until things got back to normal, but I'm just too smart. ;P
So, now you have it. I'm gonna be a big brother, again.
Kind of exciting, huh? ;P

This is the last night she'll spend alone

On the chance that anybody reads this before 7:00 P.M. tomorrow, please pray for us and that everything will come together smoothly(or at least not un-smoothly). There are a million tiny things that still need to be taken care of.

I have no idea what all is getting done tomorrow. All I know is that dad and I still need to go pick up our tuxes and some stuff for the reception.

I think this is the first time I've ever been really stressed in my life. It's not a very pleasant feeling. I need to go to bed.

The amazing thing to me is that in the midst of all of this extra stuff, life still goes on. Maybe not normally, but it goes on nonetheless.

Still, I cannot begin to describe how glad I am that we won't have to do this again for another 20 years or so. I mean, I'm really, really glad most of us are boys. ;P

I have mixed emotions. My sister is getting married. My sister is leaving. I get a brother-in-law. I get Luke(sorry, but I couldn't resist). So, yeah, it's weird.

I'm getting off now

Titles are what you use when you don't have anything better to say


Happy Mother’s day!! Since everybody in the world has a mother, I guess they must be pretty special. ;P
I was gonna write a nice post for mom, but I couldn’t think of the right words to say. So, I guess I’ll just say this ”Happy Mother‘s day, I love you mom”.
Now, where to begin? I don’t remember when I posted last, so I don’t remember what all has happened since then… I guess I’ll just write about Saturday.
Saturday morning, dad, mom Brandon, and Jeremiah got up early and went to a yard sale some church was having. After they got back, Lana, mom, Josiah, and Lily went to the last wedding shower while the rest of us stayed home and cleaned the house and yard and everything. The plan for the rest of the day was that after the shower, mom and them would bring something home for lunch, and aunt Shana and granny would come over for awhile. Around half past noon, dad got a call on his phone, but I didn’t hear it until it was pretty much done ringing. So, I gave him his phone and a few minutes later, I heard something about….Tony….work….farm. Then, being the curious guy I am, go in to see what’s going on. It turned out that it was the guy that was gonna have me work on his farm, and he and his son were going out there for the day and wondered if I could go with them. So, I got to do my first day of work!! I was pretty excited! Once we got there, they gave me the tour of half of the farm(there are 200 acres in all, butyou have to cross a creek to get to the other side, so I saw that later). It was fun. I got to ride in one of these,


and then I ate weeds (with a weed eater) for over two hours until we got rained out(or in, I guess). My arms are sooo sore today. After that, we took a break and then I got the tour of the rest of the farm. There aren’t any cows on the second part, just some barns and a LOT of grass. They showed me where they might build a pond, and where they’ll put a fence. They have around 100 cows right now, and after those improvements, they’ll get another 150 or 200 more. They just had a bull born Friday night and his momma wouldn’t nurse him, so they have to bottle feed him. He’s soo cute. I don’t think I’d ever seen a cow that little before…
After all of that, it was still raining, so we decided to call it quits for the day. It wasn’t bad for my first day of farming. ;)

I'm so cool, you don't even know I'm cool. That type of cool

Oh, let’s see(unless you‘re blind, then you don‘t need to see. Of course, if you were blind, you wouldn‘t be reading this anyways…).
I’m not gonna mention everything that’s happened recently, ‘cause that would take too long and it would be too boring. I’ll just talk, or write, as it were, about… Not everything!! I’m just kidding(sort of. I mean, I‘m not going to talk about “everything”, but I will talk about something. Once I get to it). ;P
I guess I better get to telling something interesting. Ummm… Oh, duh! I went a little brain dead for a second. Where was I? Oh yes, I was remembering something.(btw, I‘m not really this forgetful. I‘m just having some fun).

On Sunday, T.J. B. loaned me his electric bass, so I could learn to play it for when we start a band(if we start a band). It’s cool and pink and awesome. I didn’t really have much time at all to play it that day, and then we had a chemistry field trip on Monday(which was fun, btw), so I only messed with it a tiny bit.

After our field trip, Caleb, Daniel, and I got together to work on our presentation. Daniel had told us that he had a song we could perform, but he wouldn’t tell us what it was. So, he finally shows it to us and it turned out to be an incredibly dumb, yet extremely funny song. Daniel got his guitar out, and we worked on it for awhile. After we went through it once or twice, We decided that Daniel would play guitar, Caleb would play mandolin, and I(yes, me), would get to play the cowbell. I wasn’t too happy with that plan, so I decided I would just learn how to play the song on the bass. It couldn’t be *too* hard, could it? Nope, not too hard. It’s pretty easy, for a beginning bassist. The only trouble I had was that I wasn’t quite sure which “G” or which “F” to play. But I called Daniel this morning, and he said it really didn’t matter. It’s gonna be really sweet once we practice some more. I’ve already got my part mostly memorized.
What else is going on… We got the riding mower fixed, so now we can mow again. The pool is still too cold, but it’s warming up. Hopefully it will be warm enough next week. Wedding stuff is coming along nicely(I think). Everybody in my family that gets to wear a tux has been measured. I need to take Lola and Donor to the vet for their annual shots soon(they‘re gonna *love* that). Which reminds me. I need to get some covexin8 for the goats too…(*I‘m* gonna love that)
I think that’s all,
Yippee-cay-oh, get along little doggie(short dogs are cool too)
Btw, here's a pic of me when I was around Josiah's age. We could pass for twins. Except for the huge age difference.

I just killed a bug(almost)

EDIT: Right after I asked Lana to proofread this, she totally freaked out because she saw a bug, but it ran away before I got there.
Ummm, let's see. I haven't posted since last...Thursday.
I don't think much of anything happened Friday.
Saturday was dad's birthday. We spent most of the day working on leveling the ground for the pool(which is done now, btw).
Sunday, went to church... I'm not sure if we did anything extra. I can't remember.
OH!! I just remembered something exciting we did on Friday!! We went to the mall and went clothes-shopping, which usually isn't all that great, but this time was different!! I was in JCPenney's, looking for jeans, when I saw the coolest things in the world(well, maybe not the *coolest*, but it was pretty cool at the time). Slim-fit men's jeans(boot-cut, I think...). I didn't even know they made such a thing. I was like, "oh, wow. I need to try some of those!". They're pretty sweet!! It might not be a big deal to you guys, but it's pretty cool to find jeans that'll fit really well. It seems that everyone in my family has their own different troubles finding jeans...
Today, Monday, I had chem class in the morning. Our group finished our poster board, finally. It looks pretty awesome. Each group has to do some sort of presentation thing at our class presentation night in two weeks. I'm not sure what we're doing, but I think Me, Daniel, and Caleb(I know that's not the *proper* way to write that, but that's the way I say it...) are gonna all do something for it. We thought about doing a song, but we're not sure how that'd work. We also found out this morning that we were having a final test(oh boy!), or exam, whichever you prefer. I had a little bit of trouble with some of it, but at the end Mr. Herb said we had three minutes to help eachother with two problems. So, I ended up aceing it. I was pretty excited. I think I'm gonna try to clep out of college chem soon, while it's still fresh in my mind.
Mr. Herb is teaching physics and micro-biology next year. I'm taking micro for sure. I don't know about physics, mom doesn't think I could handle two science classes at once...
Tomorrow is Lana's b-day. I got her present tonight, finally.
I think that's all.

later alligator(after a while crocodile) ;P
