Live Life Loud Tour!

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!

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...

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
