*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

Bum ba da dum da da dum da da daa!

Well, as Lana said, I do have something to post about.
In our living-room, we have a white cabinet where we keep diaper bags purses and whatnot. Well, I've kind of adopted two of the shelves on that cabinet, and I keep some of my stuff on them, such as my glasses, a few pocket knives(don't worry, the shelf is pretty high), my retainer, wallet, a box of playing cards(no idea why those are up there...), phone, etc. Well, as I was looking on one of the aforementioned shelves, I saw something. It was one of the strangest sights in the world: A piece of gum. you know, those huge pieces of bubalicious gum. It's cotton-candy flavored, not my favorite, but it's gum none the less. So as I pull the gum down, I see yet another surprise: A box of Necco candy hearts left from valentine's day from T.J.(actually, that has a funny story behind it...).
So, yeah, it was sure something to post about. I don't even like Necco though, so maybe I should mention something else... I GOT MY DRIVER'S LICENSE TODAY!!!! I'm soo happy! I drove all the way to the gas station by myself for the first time! The gas station is only two miles away, but that's beside the point! I get to get my own key to the van at some point too...
Actually, I mentioned it when we got back from the revenue office, and mom was like, "do you really want to go back out with these guys?(Josiah had a bit of a rough time)", and I said, "hey, not everyone has to go! I can go with Jeremiah!" Except that mom didn't want me driving by myself for the first time on a Friday afternoon... But a few hours later I did get to drive to the gas station! Do I have a one-track mind or what?

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...

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)

if caterpillars + parrots = walkie-talkies, how do you get cell-phones?

Man, I haven’t posted in like, forever and a day… Oh well, I can change that right now.
Umm, I can’t remember how long it’s been since in my last post, so I’m not quite sure what’s happened since then, so, I’ll just ramble on for awhile until I’ve satisfied the writer within me.
So, let’s see… I guess I’ll just start with the past few days, ‘cause I can’t think of anything else that’s interesting.
So, on Friday, we went up to the dairy and got milk, and then we went to the bass pro shop. After that, we went to “Los Cabos”, which was really good.
Yesterday, we went to my cousin Kyle’s, (AKA, J.R.) wedding(it was like, three hours away). It was pretty nice. The colors were black and hot-pink, totally awesome! After the wedding, we went to the reception(’cause receptions are usually AFTER the wedding, duh!), and had lots of good food like bulgogi (awesome Korean beef, made by my aunt, J.R.’s mom, who’s from Korea. Is that cool or what! ) and egg rolls. Ummmm, after dinner there was music and dancing and whatnot… I did a little bit of dancing. I think people might of liked it just a little bit… They did this one line dance thing called the “cha-cha slide” or something like that which it was a TON of fun, ‘cause a lot of other people did it.
Oh, what else? I got to play with my uncle’s iPhone, totally sweetness…
My cousins and I talked a lot about nothing much…
My cousin Sam is trying to get me to get a myspace (which, I won‘t do, ‘cause if I got anything it‘s be face book. But I don‘t think I‘ll even get one of those)…
You can tell I’m running out of stuff to say when I start mentioning stuff like that.
Oh, yeah, on the way up to the wedding, we played “Apples to apples” which is incredibly fun.

And, last, but not least, my birthday is on Saturday!!!!!!! And we’re gonna go on vacation next week so we can relax after being seriously stressed out since Christmas… It’s gonna be fun!!! We’re going to a house right by Bull Shoals lake (like, a couple hundred feet from that water), and pretty close to the white river. So we’re gonna bring the kayaks, and we got a raft thingy to take. And, what’s gonna be really sweet is that the lake house is twice the size of our house… I hope we don’t get lost in all that space. ;P


I guess that’s it for now. So, until next time,
Adios amigos!(see, I‘ve been doing my Spanish ;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



-Tony, the most awesomest one by that name

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

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

-Tony

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!!

-Tony

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

-Tony

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)!!!

-Tony

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.

Long post ahead

I had all these great things to post about last night, now I can only remember a few.

Last Wednesday: we went up to Bentonville so dad could help Uncle Mitch with funeral preparations. So, we got to hang out with Jordan and Jacob. We played super smash bros. quite a bit. We also went swimming and rode scooters and ripsticks ect. I also figured out that you can send text messages via bluetooth, so we had some fun with that. ;P Then we played lazer tag, listened to music, played wii, and watched youtube videos until we went to bed.

ummm, Thursday(because Thursday usually comes after Wednesday):
Aunt Shanna(dad's sister), Uncle Len(her husband), Austin & Josh(their kids, our cousins),
Aunt Laurie(dad's *oldest* sister ;P), Sam(one of her kids, another cousin),
Uncle Kyle(dad's oldest bro) & Aunt Sunnie(his wife), and then their kids (who are all adults), J.R., & and his fiance Courtney, Kimmy & her daughter Nabia(she's 2 1/2 yrs. old and she's sooo cute)
and Miss Madeline(one of my granny's friends)
All of those people gathered at Granny's house and came over to Uncle Mitch's house for lunch and swimming and stuff.
After that, we all(everybody from both houses) went to Granny's house for dinner(T.J. came up at some point too, but he was there when I got there), provided by people from Uncle Mitch's church(I think, but I'm not sure about that). Then we went to the funeral home for the first visitation, or whatever you call it.
Then, everybody that was staying at Uncle Mitch's house went back there, except for me, because I was trading places with Josh for the night.
Thursday night, Austin, Sam, T.J., and I, stayed up really late playing Halo 3!!
Friday morning, we all met at Uncle Mitch's house, again(do you notice a theme here? ;P), and then headed up to Kansas.
Later on Friday, we had another visitation for people up there. Then we(all of the people mentioned before, and then some) went to a place kinda like Golden Corral(except not as good) for dinner. When we got back, me and a bunch of cousins played poker in the hotel lobby, with sugar and creamer from the hotel's breakfast stuff.
Saturday: I got up at 6:45 to go running with Uncle Chet, cousin Joe, Uncle Len, Uncle Mitch, and cousin Jacob. I forgot to mention that Joe is on a track team, and everybody else has been running daily for quite a while(and I haven't hardly at all), so I wasn't sure if I could keep up with them. I think we ran 3.4 miles. Not too far, but a pretty good run. I actually did pretty well. I didn't get tired till the last half mile.
Around noon, Aunt Laurie took Brandon, Austin, and me to get some lunch at the "Kreem Kup". Eventually everybody ended up there too.
Also, I forgot to mention, us older boy cousins were the pallbearers, which paved the way for all sorts of dumb jokes.
Then we had the Funeral service at an Episcopalian church(it was very strange). And then went out to the cemetery(which was out in the middle of nowhere).
Then we went back to the church for dinner. Then took family pictures and went back to the hotel.
Saturday night: we had a Halo tournament, in which I got creamed...

We left the hotel at 3:00 in the morning, so I slept most of the way home.

And that concludes my wonderful post about our trip.


P.S., as I am typing this, mom is playing a game on the Wii. And when I asked if I could try it, she said "finish your post, boy", and then got back to her game.

Now she's tickled because she beat Brandon's high score, on her second try

EDIT: I beat her high score awhile ago, so I ROCK!!!!! What else is new? ;P

Pearls pearls pearls!!!!

Awesomeness

More awesomeness

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.
