Only 11 Days!

Eleven days until I start ballroom dance! I hope my dance shoes get here on time! Would be hard to dance in my ugly tennis shoes...I can't wait! Ballroom dance is gonna be so awesome! I absolutely love to dance! Dancing is just so fun, and a great way to get out energy too! I can't wait. I wish I could just zoom forward the 11 days. 264 hours. 15,840 minutes! 950,400 seconds! Wow, am I excited or what?

The New Year

Almost time for New Years! Did you know that? Yeah, I bet you did. I haven't updated in a while because of Christmas break, which is sadly coming to an end. Almost time for school to start up again. Not the best thing, but I guess it gives me something to do all day...

OH MY! BYU IS WAY AWESOME

17-16, 3 seconds left in the game. UCLA has made 2 previous field goals from 50+ yards, they are on the 30-something. They go for the kick. BYU is in the blitz. ONE GUY, got ONE finger on the ball. That caused it to rotate OUT. BYU WON! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Say YAY to Friends

I am so glad my friends care about me. My friends are actually sad I am leaving. In WA only four peeps cared I moved. Sad I know, but I am glad for such nice friends here! YAY FOR FRIENDS!!!

Happiness

I wonder if happiness has its own mind. I found out today I am moving, again...yet I am happy. Truly happy! I wonder if there was a way you could trap happiness' root and keep it locked in your heart. If there was a way, I would find it...

Moving-South Carolina

Well I have already told some of you guys, at least the ones I like...jk, that I am moving to South Carolina! Amazing huh? No, not really. Anywho, I will either move within the next year, or I will move after I graduate high school. Not really sure which right now. Moving is just part of my life I guess. Utah has been, well, hmmm, a different experience. Not the friendliest people here, at least I think. That does not mean that all of you guys are bad. Some of you are AWESOME. This will be the 7th state I have lived in. So it is no longer if I move, but when. Don't worry all you peeps with MSN messenger. I will still log on everyday. South Carolina is a new place, with new people, and a whole different culture. If I move soon I will miss you guys, if I don't than we still have 3 and a half more years together.

Nothing is Wrong

I wonder if I am the only one who has this happens. Days where nothing at all went wrong....and nothing went right. These kind of days make me want to scream. Sometimes I think they are worse then days where something went wrong. This is because you still feel crappy but you can't talk out your problems because after all nothing went wrong. Just nothing went right. This makes me want to scream and just run...

You Are My Everything

I see you walk
I watch you talk
I try to get close
But I can't stalk

You are my everything
You are my sky
My ground
And every thing through the two

Do you see me?
Your eyes fill me with glee.
Do you hear me?
You voice makes me flee

You are my everything
You are my sky
My ground
And every thing through the two

Everything...




*NOTE Just something I threw together in like 10 min

POTATOES

So I am sitting at dinner, and guess what? We had diced fried potatoes, very wonderful to eat. I took a very very small amount. I remember looking over at my sisters plate and thinking, "WOW, she has twice the amount of potatoes I do!" So once everyone gets their share I went back for a little more. Mi padres asked me what I was doing. So I tell the truth, I took a very small amount. What does my sister say? No, I remember looking at your plate and 'sayin wow you have a ton of potatoes. I was ready to scream. I wanted my share of potatoes! So my sister ended up with twice the amount of potatoes I did...oh well....

Old Friends

We all have them. The friends from years past. They are always long since left behind. Sometimes it is nice to revisit the past. I have moved a ton. I have friends I remember from Oregon, Washington, Oklahoma, and now here! Sometimes it is nice to just talk to someone from the past. Other times you wish you could just move on. I guess some of you are lucky, you have never moved. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I had never moved. How is it to have never moved?

Quad-Stake Dance

Let me just start off by saying that this dance had fewr peeps then the monthly Kaysville one, but anywho it was a good dance. Only one other of my friends showed up! Talk about lame, *COUGHFRIENDWHOSNAMESTARTSWITHAB* anywho at least my one friend and I had fun! It was awesome! Of course that means I will be dead tired tomorrow, but why worry about the future?

BLAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I have no idea what in the world to type about. I could just sit here and rant on and on about something that nobody cares about. *COUGHOTHERHONORENGLISHSTUDENTSWHOWRITEABOUTWEIRDTHINGSOVERANDOVEREACHWEEKCOUGH* So I decided I would write about nothing right now and you guys can go on your way. Besides I still have two days to write my 500 words.

Ballroom Blitz

I get to do ballroom as some of you may know. In fact I get to join a class that many of my friends are in! I can't wait to start! It is gonna be so awesome.

Hunting

One of my mom's cousins just called and guess what?!?!? He wants to take me hunting. It is gonna rock my socks off! So in December I have to enroll in hunter safety and in January I get to enter the raffle for big game! Awesome! I can't wait to go!

You and Me

This is just another song on my mind lately that I can't get out of my head.

You and Me

What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive

Black Friday

Well we all know about Black Friday, and if you don't I want you to step away from your computer and actually connect with the real world. If that is too hard for you, at least go read Yahoo! News. Now back to my story. I was going to camp out at Best Buy but there were 100 people there at 7:00 PM! So my Dad and I went to Circuit City, much shorter line. So there we were waiting for the store to open 8 hours later. Of course they hand out vouchers so we were sure we would get a laptop. What they didn't tell you is that because the laptops and computers all have to be bought at the same spot and it takes 20 min per customer because they have all these options like warrenty plan, so by 9:00 AM we are finally out. That last sentence was a run on, but I don't care... So now my sister gets a laptop and she hates it. EWW VISTA IS CRAP. Those were the first four words out of her mouth once the laptop was on. Way to thank me! GOSH. Waste of my life...

She's so High Above Me by Everclear

She's blood, flesh and bone
No tucks or silicone
She's touch, smell, sight, taste and sound
But somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen


Chorus:
'Cause she's so high
High above me, she's so lovely
She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite
She's so high, high above me

First class and fancy free
She's high society
She's got the best of everything
What could a guy like me ever really offer?
She's perfect as she can be, why should I even bother?

(Chorus)

She calls to speak to me
I freeze immediately
'Cause what she says sounds so unreal
'Cause somehow I can't believe
That anything should happen
I know where I belong
And nothing's gonna happen

(Chorus)

Ballroom Blitz

Ballroom Blitz by The Sweet is an awesome song, and yet it is not the reason I am writing this post.

I am going to start taking ballroom dance lessons! I know what your response is gonna be..."WHAT A GUY DOING BALLROOM! HE MUST BE GAY!" If this is your response just leave, you are not worth my time. I think it will be fun. I love to dance, I love to be with people outside of school, and I do something else for the four main points of life. Tennis is my physical, school is my mental, church is my spiritual, and finally now Ballroom will be my emtional. Kinda weird I know. I am going to do ballroom dance and if you don't like it then just leave me alone.

I AM GOING TO BE A PUBLISHED WRITER

Today I got mail from the short sory entry I did for the first term honors english assignment. I thought they were going to send me junk mail saying sorry, but you suck. Well on the contrary, they want to publish my short essay in a collection of entries. AWESOME! Also today my family and I bought a pool table for Christmas! ALSO AWESOME! Lastly, I had the best dance ever! I had so much fun and met a ton of new people. There were so many people I knew there. It was the most fun i have ever had.

Bored....SO BORED

It is Saturday afternoon. I AM SO BORED! At least there is a church dance tonight! My friend is gonna come over and it is gonna be awesome. Then we are gonna go to the dance and have a boat load of fun. Then it is Sunday and then Monday. which is school. The weekend is just too short. I wish it was longer. Next week we only have 2 days in school though, and that is thanks to Thanksgiving. Let me tell you, I am thankful. Another thought on my mind is whether or not my last sentence was a comma splice.

For Those of You Who Haven't...

Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdt2Q0rzrcM

This is a video my friend and I made. It is just a funny video, but don't have any expectations whatsoever. After all I don't want to disappoint you do I? Of course not...This video took an entire Saturday afternoon. It is quite random and I have seen better movies made by monkeys. Although humans and monkeys are both primates. Some people think humans shouldn't be considered as part of the animal kingdom. Then what are we? Aliens? No, the definition of alien is someone foreign, or from outer space. Last time I checked my birth certificate doesn't say Mars. Maybe we belong with the plants then! Once again no, plants grow from the ground. Then what could we be? What else is there then aliens, plants, and animals? Of course I know, bacteria! Nope, once again we are not those. We can't be rocks, we can only be humans. Now what is the definition of human? Assuming that you believe we can't be animals how could you define human? Dictionary.com says human is relating to people. What is the definition of people? Human beings. Anyone else catch that loop? People just need to suck it up and embrace their monkey brethren.

My Last Post

Upon rereading my last post I realize the stupidity of which I wrote those words. In fact that post was so stupid I think I am just gonna go and delete it...

Those who can write......and those who can't

NOTE* Don't read this if you are easily offended, or if you think you are a good writer and really aren't...

It seems for this class assignment that everyone says "Oh I will just write a story, I am a good writer." Now let me clear something up for you. Most of you are not very good writers at all. I am not trying to be rude but it seems as if no one is willing to take the point of the critic. If everyone in this class were to start stories and everyone was to comment on each others I bet there would be no negative statement. That is just stupid. There are only a handful in this class that can write worth a hoot, and at that only maybe one or two of the handful can write well. I am not trying to discourage you guys from writing because my bet is that those that can worth a hoot have written a lot. So continue writing, but come on people, step up to the plate and tell someone when they fail. If you were to have a cooking class and everyone made cookies and everyone tried each others. Those that made hard, over baked, cookies should be told so, or they will never learn. Those that mix the sugar measurement with the salt measurement, (I had a kid in my cooking class do that 0_o) should be told what they did horribly wrong. So if you do write, continue to to get better, however don't expect that all your writing is worthy of only positive feedback. I am just sick of those who only think they can write well compared to those who can. Please those writing a story don't take offense, continue to write, you will get better than me! I suck at writing, so should I write something I expect negative feedback. My only plea is don't think I am bashing you, but don't think your writing is awesome...

Another thought, for those commenting on writing they know is bad and saying is good. Step up to the plate or you will strike out. It is impossible to go through life making everybody happy. Thoughts should be expressed, feeling are meant to be hurt, if are feelings were never hurt we would never mature. Like our skin. It gets tougher the more it gets cut, or pulled, stretched, or in anyway had force exerted upon it. The more cuts, the more scar tissue. If our skin was never touched, we would be extremely harmed the first time it did. This applies to feelings too. If we are always tiptoed around then the one day someone steps on our feet we will cry mercy. Which is no way to become an adult and functioning person of society.

Bottom line- Life is gonna beat you down, kick you in the mouth, pull you back up only so they can punch you again, kick you in the stomach, and finally if you haven't died yet, tie you to the back of a sports car and have it race off. Life SUCKS, get over it. You won't make it through life happy the entire time, or without ridicule. Someone somewhere will say the truth. And it will hurt. Or if no one tells you the truth you will never be free. If you make cookies and everyone says they are perfect, but really they taste like crap, you will make them again. And AGAIN! No one wants to hurt you so now you have no idea. But if someone tells you after a year of making them every week you are gonna cry and want to shout and feel horrible.

The WAY bottom line- The truth must be told.

Sorry if it offends you, but oh well for you. Life is hard, get a helmet.

Eyes

We have two of em. On our faces, at least I hope on our faces. We are almost always taking in visual images. Watching, thinking, and computing. When someone says something we always have a thought or two about. How do we know what others think? We don't. So how do we act to make others happy? We can't easily make others happy. It makes it hard. My actions everyday could cause one person to go home in tears and another with a grin. Where do we learn how to make no one cry and everyone happy? Nowhere, at least nowhere I have been. So what do we do? What can we do?

My Immortal -Evanescense

My Immortal lyrics

I'm so tired of being here Suppressed by all my childish fears And if you have to leave I wish that you would just leave 'Cause your presence still lingers here And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tearsWhen you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fearsAnd I held your hand through all of these yearsBut you still haveAll of me

You used to captivate me By your resonating light Now I'm bound by the life you left behind Your face it haunts My once pleasant dreams Your voice it chased away All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal This pain is just too real There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone But though you're still with me I've been alone all along

[Chorus]

Beautiful song, one of the few Evanescense I like

The Cookie

Ever been to a cookie store? I know I have! I do love my cookies: chocolate chip, snikerdoodle, and many others! It is awesome to look at the racks of cookies and to see all the many possibilities! You have the choice to choose anyone you want! You name, and you can have it. All the possibilities! Imagine such a choice. What would you choose? Lets say you narrow it down to two choices. A cookie people expect you to have. Nice, elegant, and everything anyone would normally expect in a cookie. As for your other choice, a wild, fun, awesome cookie you would be more then happy to eat. Which would you choose? The one everyone expects or the wild one?

As most of you can guess there is a deeper meaning, but just answer the question. I don't want the "socially acceptable" answers though. None of this what makes you happy crap. We all know people nowadays mostly do what is socially acceptable. Are you one of them?

Disneyland, Land of Your Dreams

All the families' little children are screaming and crying, "This line is too long!" What is Disneyland without a little kid lost or crying? What of these children's parents? They are just ignorant. They ignore what their own child does, but not the others! They have to complain about them! Don't people know that they have to watch their own children before watching others? My Dad knew this. My Mom knew this. Man, being at Disneyland is not necessarily all that and a bag of chips. Walt Disney's mind must have been crazy looking at all that has come through from his will. It's amazing to watch. Disneyland is a place of your dreams, not mine. Walt thought through his actions. It's awesome to know that he went bankrupt I think three times before you was stable. My favorite ride is the Tower of Terror. Its terror is awesome. I love that weightless feeling you get as it drops. Disneyland is awesome to young kids. Too bad for my family, the Smiths, most of us, (me, myself and I), no longer want to be a kid. The Smith's youngest kid is me, who wants to be the oldest. A sad story. We all want to be old, but then want to be young. Can't we make up our minds? No matter what we have, we always want something else. Can't we learn to love what we already have? Of course not. It is human nature to have greed. All the worlds families' greed put together would be enough to kill an entire nation, if all focused in one area. Isn't it amazing how far we would go to further ourselves? If someone would pay you one billion dollars to punch a kid and give him a black eye would you? Would you go so far as to give him a cut? A small concussion?? How far is too far?

Disneyland

I get to go to Disneyland! Pretty sweet right? No not really. Oh well, Disneyland is fun enough. I have a season pass so I will go a bunch this year. Since I will be aways I need to try and get my five hundred words today and tomorrow. So I am watching TV to try and relax my brain. i just read over 100 pages of the Count of Monte Cristo to finish so I don't have to read at Disneyland. I hope I do well on the AR test. That would be awesome if I got all the questions right! My brain is soooo numb I feel very brainless. If only I could skip school tomorrow. It is not like I haven't before. It is not that hard to do. For me I just ask and my parents let me stay home sometimes. Now for something completely different. Don't you hate those commericials that come right out and say things that should not be said. Like about that time of the month or STD's? They should try and hide it a litte. It might scare little kids. I guess I am not a little kid am I? Sometimes I wish I was. It would be easier. No work, no school, just playing with your toys. But I guess to know true happiness, first you must know despair. Thus someone invented school! I am gonna go grab some ice cream.

Best Freaking Dance EVER

The regional dance in Kaysville was awesome! I met up with a bunch of friends and we had tons and tons and tons of fun. I danced every dance! It was the most fun ever. I have been to alot of dances. I mean a ton! We use to have one every week where I use to live. Still this dance was the most fun. I danced so crazy! Even to High School Musical songs! GASP This dance probably played more slow songs then any other dance. Which was awesome! I absolutly love dances and all that! I hope all my friends had fun. I tried to make them all happy. I hope they will have more of them! I would go every week if they had one every week. Sadly they don't. Oh well, that doesn't make them any less fun!

"You and Me" "Goodbye"

What day is it And in what month This clock never seemed so alive I can't keep up and I can't back down I've been losing so much time Cause it's you and me and all of the people With nothing to do, nothing to lose And it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you All of the things that I want to say Just aren't coming out right I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning I don't know where to go from here Cause it's you and me and all of the people With nothing to do, nothing to prove And it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off you Something about you now I can't quite figure out Everything she does is beautiful Everything she does is right Cause it's you and me and all of the people With nothing to do, nothing to lose And it's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of You and me and all of the people With nothing to do, nothing to prove and It's you and me and all of the people and I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you What day is it And in what month This clock never seemed so alive

As for the other half of my last post, the song "Goodbye" by SR-71 comes to mind.

Goodbye by SR-71
Everything you know, You wonder friend or foe
I'm the burning in your throat when you swallow
When you spit me out, Your stomach full of doubt
Now you're faking every word out of your mouth
And when you won't let go,
It's all about control
Understand I’m born to led you will follow
Now I don't wanna stay, and I'm running away
Don't you hear me when I say
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone
If you don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, running away from here
So I say goodbye again (x2)And now it's there to see, you've forgotten me
Ever since I was the prince among the thieves
So you hold me down, Strip away my crown
Can't contain me knowing all the truth I've found
Always thinking small, helping me to fall
Now your jealousy and hate consumes us all
I don't wanna stay
and I'm running away
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone
If you don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, running away from here
You think you see the world, but you see nothing (x2)Time is only gonna make it worse in the end
So I say goodbye again
Don't hit me with your fears, I don't fit with your ideas
You missed what I'm about, I earned my way out
And in the end, I say goodbye again I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, running away from here I won't forget, the way you made me feel
I won't regret, so I say goodbye again
Goodbye, so long, nice try, I'm gone (x4) So I say goodbye again

Ahhh

Have you ever had a thought in your head you want to scream but know it will fall on deaf ears? Or have you ever had that one emotion you want to express but you know you will be shunned for it? Society blocks us from ourselves. What more can we do? Run? Lock it up? Beat the odds? So many thoughts go unspoken that want to scream! I just want to run at a wall and break it down. I want my courage to amount to my words. I want to tell them what I really think. Not, sure, thanks, and hello. I want them to know what my true thoughts are. Not the cheap drilled in ones. I want them all to know, I am not always so nice. I want them all to know that I hide beneath a mask most of the time. I want them all to know my real face. I want them all to accept me. So many different thoughts all crammed up in one mind. I want them all to know that I can do so much more then I have. To go along with half of my thoughts is this one song.

Today

I have so many thoughts in my head.

It is very hard to keep them straight.

It weighs me down like a block of lead.

I hope these thoughts stray from hate.

What can I do?

What can I say?

That will make my fly

This very day.

With many actions

Everyday

All I can say

Is that I wish for many things

Today

Poem

Well I was tring to write a poem but right now I can't think of any good theme or scheme. So I am sorry I can not write one. Usually I write them on a strong emtion but I don't really have any right now. Sorry.

hmmm

I absolutly love this song. If you guys ever get the chance you should listen to it! I know very long but it is very beautiful.

On either side the river lie Long fields of barley and of rye, That clothe the wold and meet the sky; And through the field the road run by To many-tower'd Camelot; And up and down the people go, Gazing where the lilies blow Round an island there below, The island of Shalott.
Willows whiten, aspens quiver, Little breezes dusk and shiver Through the wave that runs for ever By the island in the river Flowing down to Camelot. Four grey walls, and four grey towers, Overlook a space of flowers, And the silent isle imbowers The Lady of Shalott.
By the margin, willow veil'd,Slide the heavy barges trail'd By slow horses; and unhail'd The shallop flitteth silken-sail'dSkimming down to Camelot: But who hath seen her wave her hand? Or at the casement seen her stand? Or is she known in all the land, The Lady of Shalott?
Only reapers, reaping early, In among the bearded barley Hear a song that echoes cheerly From the river winding clearly; Down to tower'd Camelot; And by the moon the reaper weary, Piling sheaves in uplands airy, Listening, whispers, " 'Tis the fairy The Lady of Shalott."
There she weaves by night and day A magic web with colours gay. She has heard a whisper say, A curse is on her if she stay To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott.
And moving through a mirror clear That hangs before her all the year, Shadows of the world appear. There she sees the highway near Winding down to Camelot; There the river eddy whirls, And there the surly village churls, And the red cloaks of market girls Pass onward from Shalott.
Sometimes a troop of damsels glad, An abbot on an ambling pad, Sometimes a curly shepherd lad, Or long-hair'd page in crimson clad Goes by to tower'd Camelot; And sometimes through the mirror blue The knights come riding two and two. She hath no loyal Knight and true, The Lady of Shalott.
But in her web she still delights To weave the mirror's magic sights, For often through the silent nights A funeral, with plumes and lights And music, went to Camelot; Or when the Moon was overhead, Came two young lovers lately wed. "I am half sick of shadows," said The Lady of Shalott.
A bow-shot from her bower-eaves, He rode between the barley sheaves, The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves, And flamed upon the brazen greaves Of bold Sir Lancelot. A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd To a lady in his shield, That sparkled on the yellow field, Beside remote Shalott.
The gemmy bridle glitter'd free, Like to some branch of stars we see Hung in the golden Galaxy. The bridle bells rang merrily As he rode down to Camelot: And from his blazon'd baldric slung A mighty silver bugle hung, And as he rode his armor rung Beside remote Shalott.
All in the blue unclouded weather Thick-jewell'd shone the saddle-leather, The helmet and the helmet-feather Burn'd like one burning flame together, As he rode down to Camelot. As often thro' the purple night, Below the starry clusters bright, Some bearded meteor, burning bright, Moves over still Shalott.
His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd; On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode; From underneath his helmet flow'd His coal-black curls as on he rode, As he rode down to Camelot. From the bank and from the river He flashed into the crystal mirror, "Tirra lirra," by the river Sang Sir Lancelot.
She left the web, she left the loom, She made three paces through the room, She saw the water-lily bloom, She saw the helmet and the plume, She look'd down to Camelot. Out flew the web and floated wide; The mirror crack'd from side to side; "The curse is come upon me," cried The Lady of Shalott.
In the stormy east-wind straining, The pale yellow woods were waning, The broad stream in his banks complaining. Heavily the low sky raining Over tower'd Camelot; Down she came and found a boat Beneath a willow left afloat, And around about the prow she wrote The Lady of Shalott.
And down the river's dim expanse Like some bold seer in a trance, Seeing all his own mischance -- With a glassy countenance Did she look to Camelot. And at the closing of the day She loosed the chain, and down she lay; The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott.
Lying, robed in snowy white That loosely flew to left and right -- The leaves upon her falling light -- Thro' the noises of the night, She floated down to Camelot: And as the boat-head wound along The willowy hills and fields among, They heard her singing her last song, The Lady of Shalott.
Heard a carol, mournful, holy, Chanted loudly, chanted lowly, Till her blood was frozen slowly, And her eyes were darkened wholly, Turn'd to tower'd Camelot. For ere she reach'd upon the tide The first house by the water-side, Singing in her song she died, The Lady of Shalott.
Under tower and balcony, By garden-wall and gallery, A gleaming shape she floated by, Dead-pale between the houses high, Silent into Camelot. Out upon the wharfs they came, Knight and Burgher, Lord and Dame, And around the prow they read her name, The Lady of Shalott.
Who is this? And what is here? And in the lighted palace near Died the sound of royal cheer; And they crossed themselves for fear, All the Knights at Camelot; But Lancelot mused a little space He said, "She has a lovely face; God in his mercy lend her grace, The Lady of Shalott."

Boring

This "assignment" is becoming quite boring. I wonder if I am the only one who thinks this. What is the point of writing 500 words per week? To make us better writters? It doesn't really work does it? I use the same words over in the same generally constructed sentences saying boring stuff that maybe two people care about. Oh well, anything worth anything is worth doing. I still need to read the Count of Monte Cristo, and the other part of the apostrophe quiz, and of course I need to enter my short essay. Life is so demanding. I would like to have a week off from everything in life, not just school but life. All of it. Now I am bored with nothing else to write. Of course I still need more words so I am stuck here dragging this entry out, further, and further. I wish I could just type at a million words a minute of random crap without thinking so this could be done. I suppose I could just drag everything out, more, and more, and more, and more. See that is why I hate having a word limit. All I have to do to fulfill it is say I like: pizza, dogs, cats, big dogs, small cats, big fish, airplanes, tennis, tennis balls, tennis rackets, tennis players, tennis bags, more tennis, did I mention tennis, T.V., carpet, ice cream, anything deep fried, water, lemonade, apple juice, and of course, not writing this. Now I have my five hundred words this week but did I really "think" and learn to write better because of it? No, of course not. So once again I ask why we have a word limit.

...

Well my tennis did not go so well today. I played guys who were twice my size and play everyday with lessons....It was like a lamb in a lions den. They are planning to do this every week. This will help me play better, but I will most likely lose every single week. Now I have nothing to say. My knee hurts....I skinned it while diving to reach a ball. If my arm was an inch lower it would have been seriously hurt...and once again I am out of things to say.

Writing Contest #2

Writing Contest

Opps

I completely forgot about this blog. Now I need 500 words by midnight tonight! Well General Conference is going right now as I type this. Lets see there are a total of 6 sessions, 2 on Sunday, 2 on Saturday, 1 for general Priesthood, and 1 for the Young Women. Each session is 2 hours long. That is a total of twelve hours. Seeing as it is semi-annual that is twenty-four hours a year. Each Sunday there is a three hour meeting, excluding the weeks of general conference. So the two weeks is 24 hours, plus the 50*3 hours of the other weeks. So 150 plus 24 is 174 hours a year on Sundays, and this does not include meetings before and after. Then you have an hour and a half on activity days. So 1.5 hours * 52 weeks is 78 hours. 174 plus 78 is 252 hours a year I spend in Church. *NOTE This equation does not include sick days, extended meetings, Stake Conference, and Holidays.* 252/24=10.5 days 10.5/365=2.9% of my year is Church. On average I spend eight hours sleeping. 8*356=2848 hours I spend sleeping a year. 2848/24=119 days I spend sleeping a year. 119/365=33% of my year is spent sleeping. *NOTE Once against this equation does not include days you sleep in, weekends if you change your sleeping habits etc...* So between sleeping and Church I spend a total of 35.9% of my year. That is quite a few hours. Well a year is a total of 8760 hours! That is a bunch. 525600 minutes a year. So if you spend 1 minute sleeping past your alarm you lose 365 minutes a year. That is 6.1 hours. If you live to be 90 and slept past your alarm 1 minute starting at the age 10, that is 80 years times 6.1, equals 488 days you LOSE by sleeping over 1 minute. 488 days! That is 1.34 years! That makes you want to get up one minute earlier because then you will have an extra 1.34 years in your life! Talk about living longer! Even though if you get up 1 minutes early you will probably waste it doing nothing and then instead of being less grumpy you will have more of your life wasted. I guess it is not that hard to get 500 words! Assuming you watch 2 hours of T.V. each day that is 730 hours, if you do that for eighty years that is 58400 hours in your life. That is 2433 days of your life. That is 6.7 years! Take that you lazy bums! Lets go back a little. If in the two hours there is 15 minutes of commercials an hour, which is really generous, 15*2hours = 30 minutes. .5 hours * 7 days a week equals 3.5 hours a week. 52 weeks a year times 3.5 a week equals 182 hours a year. Once again times 80 years equals 14560 hours in your life. That is 606.7 days. Which is 1.66 years of your life is taken to watch commercials! That is a very long time! It is amazing how the time adds up!

Thank You

Thank you to all those who have posted in my blog and have shown concern for my general well being. It makes me quite glad that as a new kid here I have made some friends that generally care about me and my health. Maybe my new school isn't quite so rotten after all! ^.^

Update: I am not going to be at school tomorrow. The pain medication I am on makes me dizzy. It is very hard me to stand or walk, or even concentrate on one thing. As you can tell this would make it very hard to do a normal day a school. Maybe Tuesday will be better!

Bored

NOTE: This week's 500 words came in a few different posts, sorry for the inconvience, if any, it has caused.

Man do I look like a chipmunk! It sucks!!! My cheek is the size of Asia! It is so annoying. I did not go to church today because once again I look like a chipmunk and the last thing I want is to have people see me like this. I hope the swelling will go down by tomarrow so I can go to school. All I can eat is pudding, yogurt, and eggs. As much as I love pudding, yogurt, and eggs, they do get annoying. Now I have run out of things to write. I don't know what else to say. Maybe I am going to go make more eggs, or just grab another yogurt.

Wisdom Teeth

Well the surgery started an hour late, it was a bad omen. Once I was in and the stuck the IV I exclaimed "SWEET, it is in my skin!" And the doctor told me to poke it. It felt weird but completely awesome! Then they stuck the IV in and the next thing I knew was that it was 5:00 AM and I was on my couch. At first I thought it was just a very vivid dream. So I looked in the mirror and what did I see? Blood all the way around my mouth! If that wasn't bad I went back to the couch only to find the padding they put into my mouth covered in blood. Later that morning; a new piece of information was reaveled; turns out my opereration took over 20 minutes which is longer then the normal 8 minute one. Turns out one of my wisdom teeth grow close to my sinus cavity so they had to be extremely careful. Now I can't blow snot rockets, and even blow my nose. I can't have any pressure on/in my nose for TWO WEEKS! Oh well. So now I am home away from school recovering while typing this.

Another Week, Another 500 Words

Once Again

Today was awesome! I got a 99 on my math test! Of course there was a weird curve where everyone got +14 points, but still, even without that it would still be an 85, which is good enough. Right now I don't feel like writing out my five hundred words so I am going to do this week in multiple entries.

New Hope

Yesterday I bought a new laptop. It is really cool because it has voice recognition. So I can tell it commands and it will do what I want! It is really nice compared to my last one. This has made me quite happy, but something else has seemed to change, almost like something greater then me, I call it God's influence, has turned a knob inside me and I just seem all around happier then ever before. Sure I miss my friends from Washington, but now I'm here and there's nothing that I can do about it. Sometimes life hands you melons, so you make mashed melons. So today, I declare a very happy day. I hope my life will begin to settle, so this new hope can arise.

Today's the day I start,

To tell things from my heart.

I may cry all day

my friends may not stay,

But all will come from my heart.

P.S I know this is a short post but I don't have the time right now, and besdies, I already got my 500 words for the week!

Why Am I?

Just some thought that were on my mind at 10:20!

Why am I still here,

Without you I stand,

Why is it I can never hold you so dear?
As if a sad song from a poor band.

I can never have you

Never tell you

Why I am still here

Oh Here It Goes Again!

NOTE: I split my entry today into two main parts, the second, having a question I would like my viewers to answer.

Here, once again, in a new place.

Once again I have found myself in a new state, with a new school. This isn't really anything new to me. I have lived in, from the first state to the last, Michigan, Wisconsin, Oregon, Oklahoma, Washington, and now Utah. Of course, technically, I only have been in school since Oregon where I started. Still, I have moved quite enough. Now the next question I am usually asked am I a BRAT? Now for those not quite up with the lingo. A BRAT is a child of at least one parent who has served full-time in the Armed Forces. The answer is no. Never has either one of my parents served in the Army, Navy, Seals, Marines, ect... My Dad just worked his way up a company. This most recent move though, he switched companies. Hopefully I will never see another moving box again! Now I find myself here, in Utah at another school. Well at least I have never been forgotten. I can name the names of friends all the way back to Oregon! Hopefully they still remember me. Despite people coming and going, dieing, and being born, changing, and fluctuating, live moves on as it always does. We are just one of billions. However even the largest pyramids were built with billions of grains of sand.

Now on to the rest of my sad life.

I love to play tennis, and that is about it. Sometimes I have been called "Emo" for being so down. I just realize that life is to be spent in the "Pursuit of Happiness" as stated in the Constitution I believe. Well my pursuit has been held back by some personal things and that only time I seem truly happy is when I play tennis. As of right now I am trying to find a hobby that can be done all year, as winter is just around the corner. Who knows, maybe those who wrote the Constitution did not know that for everyone to be able to pursue their own happiness someone else has to supply it. I mean even with me, a tennis racket, courts, a bag to carry water, all of it someone slaved over. I bet you the bag maker was not very happy making a dollar an hour down in Mexico. Sure it makes me happy, but at his expense. My sibling likes to be on the computer a lot but so do I. With only one computer for the two of us neither of us can ever really finish the "Pursuit of Happiness." As I am happy, someone else moves to the sad side of life. Then you have those who are stuck in the gray area. Never being truly happy, but never having sad times. QUESTION: Now would you rather fluctuate from happy to sad or stay in the middle?

P.S Sorry for the late post, I had "technical" problems, and oh yeah I reached 500 words!
