Something on stage like acting. Acting is fun. Right now Im not in anything but I might audition for a play called coastal disturbances. Its at Starlighters and its a lot of fun there. I have a lot of friends and always make new ones when I go back. I hope I get to do something soon cause I miss it. Im nervous about school. The tests coming up dont look like fun but I hope I can get through them. Social Studies shouldnt be too hard but Im not to good about studying or remembering. E9 should be pretty easy because Im pretty good at remembering things I read. lol Kinda. Science is going to be hard. That is almost purely memorization. Math shouldnt be that bad because Im pretty good at math. Abbijo is not writing right now and Im am seeing if I can look at her and type at the same time. lol This is kind of interesting. She is still not typing and I am still staring at her. Im having way to much fun with this. lol can we stop writng yet? thanks. lol Bye

Entry 19, December 15

Today I am going to talk about my trip to Colorado that I will be taking this friday the 18 to the 22. This will be the second time going and I cant wait to have some fun. Last year I had a blast going skiing up there. I go with my dad and my uncle and his son and some of his buddys. They are all over 21 so you know what that means. ;) Lots of drinking games. They included me. I drank mountain dew. lol Last year it took us a little bit longer to get there due to the "blizzard" we went up in. All the way through Nebraska it was snowing and about every 30 minutes to an hour we had to stop to get the snow and ice of the windsheild. It was one of the things I will never forget. I cant wait again to go to Colorado and ski some more. This year should be fun and I dont think its supposed to be too bad on the way up there. Hopefully Ill get to sleep on the way up there. It always seems to make it go faster. lol skiing up there is a lot of fun. I usually hang out with my dad and uncle cause they let me keep up. Even if they get ahead of me, they usually let me catch up. Cant wait to get on the slopes!

Nothing is all I could think of.

Today I am going to write about nothing. Nothing is a word used when you dont want to answer a question because you are embarrased by the answer or dont know what to say. I say nothing to try and drop the question. Some people say nothing just to show that they dont want to talk about it. Nothing is what some people think of there life like. Some people think there life is nothing. Obviously everybody was put on this world for a reason and nothing is a horrible way to put yourself. Nothing, in my opinion, can be destructful to relationships with girlfriends/boyfriends and friends. People that say nothing to when they are talking is saying that they dont want to talk about it. When Im talking to someone (a friend) and they say nothing then it more then likely will just frustrate me and Ill want to know even more. Nothing is the word I thought of when I needed to write something for my blog entry today. I could not think of nothing. That sounds weird. Anything is the word I should have used there but instead I used the word nothing because nothing is going to stop me from writing it that way. haha like the way I used that? Nothing is all I could think of.

I apoligize for this last entry. Story behind it is not very interesting but I will tell it anyways. I get home and was going to play the piano and so I needed some lyrics and looked in my bag. My laptop wasnt there. So I thought about it. Maybe in either Math or English because those are the last to periods of the day and know I had it 7th period. So I got to school and went to jazz band then regular band. The whole time wondering were my computer may have gone. I came down to English class to see if my laptop was there because I knew I needed it for my next class. I walked in the room and noticed that it was right were I left it. Still open and everything. And Kolton obviously got ahold of it. The End. :) So anyways this last little bit past the THE End part is just cause Mrs. Strand said we have two more minutes and I dont want to get diducted points so im just typing randomly hoping that she will soon tell us to put away our computers to read because Id rather read then do this. I find this boring right now and kinda want to stop. Man this is the longest 2 minutes of my li.... Welp Im out! See Ya! haha

October 29, Entry 16

For halloween I have to choices and I cant seem to make up my mind on what I want to do. Either I can go to help out at a little kids haunted house thing at my church which I dont know if that would be much fun. But I still might do that just cause I cant think of anything else I should do. Or... I could go and hang out with my friends around town and then go to a bonfire with them. They both sound fun but Im still confused as to what I should do. This is kinda pointless to be confused about cause it is such a simple dicission. Except I think I might do the whole haunted house thing because my parents will know where Im at. Except I would have a lot of fun with my friends. My church would be fun to. I love to scare people. But I know more people and would be more comfortable being with my friends. I think Im goin with my friends. Now to end this off Im going to have fun. Idk wht to tlk bout. Ths is dffcult to dscrbe my flngs bout ths sitution. I undrstimte th mgntde of my ablty to wrght ths way. Now that right thre took me a while to right. lol :)

I found this picture and thought it was hilarious. If I was going to be a president and wanted it that bad I would want to do that to. It would work too. Think about all the people that would be too lazy to actually go through and make sure they got the president they want. I think If I wanted to vote for Gore I wouldnt want to go through the time to figure it out. Id take the easy way out and go right to Bush. Its the easiest. Thats bad to say but most of the society is that way. I think so at least.

I saw this one and got equally confused. If I was a car I would never know where Im going. Or which stop light to look at it if I was driving.

October 8, Entry 12

A man was working late one night at a plant when nobody else was working. He had the night shift so he had to go around and check the plant to make sure it was still in working condition for the rest of the night. The machines were still working fine and everything around him was noisy and seemed to be to its normal tip top shape. He rounded a corner and started heading for the next building to check on. He headed around the corner and was stopped when he heard abrubtly all the machines stop simultaneously. He started to creep around the corner and was scared for a second. He heard a small noise around the corner and a small hiss. He turned the corner and in the corner was the largest snake this mans eyes have ever seen. He froze in his spot. He waited at least a minute. Not seeing the head because it was behind its body so he was unsure if it was alive or not. He looked around for a second to see if anyone else was around. He slowly crept up to the snake and walked right up beside it. He was walking right around the snake. Just the he noticed the snakes head slowly raise his head and he stopped in his tracks. He felt his heartbeat rise. The snake turned his head toward the man.

October 1, Entry 10

When I get older I want to be on stage. I love to act and sing and play instruments. Acting is one of my hobbies and it is something I love to do and would love to do as a job. If I had the opportunity that is probably something I would do. I am currently in the school play and in a thing called YPT (Young Peoples Theater) in Anamosa. I would also like to sing. I already sing with my retired pastor at different churches around the state. Stan plays piano and preaches and I sing. I dont think Im very good but I get good complements at these things and Stan still stays with me. I currently play the Mellephone in marching band and french horn in concert band. I own a trumpet that I can play. I know how to play piano. Im not an expert at the piano but I can do the basics of the piano. I recently just put the piano that we have at our house into my room because Im only person that plays it in my family. I probably play 30 minutes daily on average.After I get piano down (I am learning from my retired pastor) I would love to learn guitar. Preferably bass guitar cause I love its sound.

That is most of my pastime and what I enjoy doing. I hope that when I get older I can go into any of those things.

September 24, Entry 8

Shaggy (from scooby doo) and Superman enter an elevater one day. Shaggy walks over to one side of the elevater and Superman walks to the other side. Suddenly Shaggy turns around and faces the corner. Superman looks very confused and turns around and starts facing the corner as well. Shaggy turns back around and presses the fire alarm button. Superman starts to freak out and starts flying all over the elevator.

Superman finally calms down and Shaggy and Superman are now stopped on the elevator. Superman bends down to tie his shoe. Shaggy bends down to tie his shoe. Superman stands. Shaggy stands. Superman scratches his arm. Shaggy scratches his arm. Superman takes a step forward. Shaggy takes a step forward. Superman slides to the left. Shaggy slides to the left. Superman slides to the right. Shaggy slides to the right. Superman flies up to the top of the elevator. Shaggy is dissapointed.

Detectives are no match for a super hero.

September 17, Entry 6

I leave off my story with me going back to the school after leaving the news reporters. I go back to the school and almost everyones left. My sister just got back and she had no idea what was going on so she was kind of scared. My sister and I decided to go back home and relax a little while. We had to take a long way around because any other way we could possibly go was flooded over. We get home and I get changed and watch a little T.V. then my sister gets a call saying any football and volleyball players willing to come help clean up could come. So me and my sister went back in and started to help. I worked on the new art teachers room which was completely soaked. We had to take everything out so that way they could put down new tile. When I walked on the floor in there is actually made a spuishing noise. I thought this was kind of neat. I looked down to the little kids hallway and there was still puddles. After we cleared out her room we went to the bandroom. It was equally soaked. We started to take stuff out. I heard that while this was flooded there was water coming from the gym and the water was actually hitting the band room door. It thought that was interesting. Ill finish it off next time.

Headline: Army Tough Guy Trampled by Deer

Yesterday, September 16, a man by the name of Mr. _____, was trampled by a deer.

This may not seem like a very interesting topic. But think about how this happened. This man is not any ordinary man.

He is currently deployed in Iowa. He currently has no job due to the low crime rate in the city of Guacopatamia. So this man was

training in a forest.

This man is about 4'11", very buff, and very mean looking. He has a mustache, long black hair, and can scare any man off

the planet.

So "Why?" may you ask he got trampled by a deer? This deer stands about 3 feet tall, and is a bambi. But something that we

have assumed happened and that Mr. _____ is saying the reason for this is that the bambi was blind and deaf.

Scientists are calling her Deer Hellen.

This one stunk. lol But oh well.

September 11, Entry 4

I am going to take a quick break from my flood journal entries to talk about the day. September 11 is a very big day in America. Does everybody remember what happened on September 11? September 11, 2001 was the day that sadaam hussane (Or whatever :) took (I do believe) 3 airplanes into the twin towers. I vagely remember that day because I was only a first grader and I dont even remember really what I was thinking or what happened or anything. I am kinda mad. It is cool and sad to look back on. I dont even remember hearing about it till I got to my neighbors house (we used to go there everyday after school) and they were watching T.V. about what was going on. I didnt think anything of it cause it didnt phase me. I did purchase this book a long time ago and it showed tons of headlines from the next day that was in the newspaper. The pictures and the headlines really made you sad. I also remember watching a show about a plane that actually never did hit the twin tower and about what happened. It just crashed in a feild. That was pretty moving to think what the people on the plane were thinking while there plane was highjacked. Even though it didnt effect me personally, it did effect a Lot of people. I hope September 11, 2001 is remembered for a long time.

September 9, Entry 3

My story leaves off and im waiting for the tractor to come. We are hanging out and waiting. Then it comes and we start loading sandbags into the tractor. It gets loaded and we all run back through the forest. Through the creek. Over the railroad tracks. And back on the road. The trucks already left so we all ran around town. We pretty much scattered and I ended up only being with 4 people out of the about 20 I came with. I now need to remind you that my shoes and socks are in the truck that left so I ran all the way across town barefoot. It was really hard to run that far and my feet were killing me. I got to this area were it was prolly a few inches deep and there was this girl taking pictures of us that was on dryer land. We walked over there and they asked for our names and we talked to them for a while. We finally left them and went back to the school. We all went back home because the water had receeded and we were no longer needed. So now I went home and then my sister got a call that all football and volleyball players can come in and help clean out the classrooms that were flooded. By the way, I was not in the paper with my picture. But remember me saying I talked to them for a while. Well they quoted me. I told them that "It was the best 2nd day of school ever." That I was proud of. In my next blog entry I will explain the damage and what we did at the school.

September 3, Entry 2

My story last left off with me getting changed into my gym stuff so that I wasn’t in my good school clothes. I went and got in a truck. There were two trucks by the way. Each with about 10 people with both. It was a lot of people and not really legal. :) We went the side of a road in town. Because of the roads all being flooded we had to take a scenic route through some forest. We first went through some trees and grass and some very sharp thorns. Then went over the railroad tracks, which I might say is not very pleasant being in bare feet. Then went down again into some more woods and went through a creek. It went up to about my belly button. We came out the other side to a place that I didnt even know existed. Its been still light sprinkling this whole time by the way. And this place that I just arrived at is a work place that has sand and rock etc. We waited there a while thinking that we would have to fill our own sandbags but found out there was already some put away so we didnt have to worry. We waited about 20 minutes for a tractor to come. Ill more then likely explain the rest in my next blog entry.

September 2, Entry 1

I was sitting in my 7th period class and looking outside thinking that it was just raining. I didnt think anything of it except that it had been raining all day. Then Vanessa came into class and told all of us that we need to go out into the parking lot because the parking lot is in almost a foot of water. So I quickly ran outside, took off my shoes and socks, rolled up my jean pant leg and ran down and moved my car. I moved it to a non flooded spot and was told to get into Brads car because he wanted to go see his house. So I got in. May I remind you that this is still in school. I thought I was going to get in trouble so I was a little nervous. We got there and it was pretty flooded so I went back to the school and got changed and went on a journey through town that was pretty crazy. Ill explain it on my next journal entry. :)
