Another week, Another update

Update

Ok, well don't take that title wrong. I'm definitly not saying i update every week, but it sounds good, right?

Anyway, this week was pretty good I got to teach three extra students therefore doubling my pay. And that was really nice.
Today was really a great day, I finally gave my informative speech on traffic lights that I had been putting off for a long while. And besides that me and Benjamin got to debate Jennie and Bethany (Another debate team in the class) in debate class. We did pretty good I thought, it was really fun. Benjamin didn't do so well, but that was becuase he had two people trying to help him at the same time and they were only confusing him, as well as the fact that, that was the first speech that he has ever given and it wasen't even prewritten (you have to write the speech in a few minutes refuting what the other team said).
So, in reality he didn't do too bad (Oh and this is his first year, whearas eveyone else in that debate had been in debate at least one year). Anyway, today was a pretty good day.

Lately I've been trying to figure out what to do for my 18th birthday coming up. If anyone has any ideas please leave a comment.
Otherwise, leave a comment anyway.

Till next post.

Here

Well I'm here at masters for their view weekend, I met Mark over in the evil accounting department, that was cool. So far I've gotten to visit three different classes, so thats cool. I visited; Old testament survey, US constitutional law, and Intro to linguistics. I'd have to say the most interesting class out of all those was the linguistics class, mainly because of the teacher (he was really funny) but also because (to me at leas) linguistics are pretty interesting. Anyway as for what I think overall of the college (HAHA! I spelled it right, take that), I am really impressed with the college overall. They have amazingly nice facilities, the dorms are really pretty nice, and as for the campwide wi-fi access, that is definitly a really nice pro if I decide to come here. So anyway I have to go to a meeting about financing, loans, and scholarships. So I need to wrap this up, more later. Post your comments and qustions ( HAHA! i spelt that wrong on purpose!) and I will post again to answer any qustions about whatever (if you have any).

Till next post.

What's going on?

Well I found this pretty cool game that Chandler showed me. It's an investing game where you buy and trade stocks, but it isn't real money. So thats cool, unfortunatly it won't let me trade anything. So that part stinks but I also found a game where you trade in the foriegn exchange. And I've made some money with that (fake of course). Anyway, if you want a link for either of those games just post a comment and I'll e-mail or post the link for it.

Ok, so here's the scoop on what I'm doing this weekend. Actually for about a week, I'm going to be in LA visiting Master's college. I'll also be visiting some friends for the weekend, so thats going to extend my stay and make it about a week, even though the event at the college is going to be only a few days, that and driving time. Anyway, pray that I figure out what college to go to in a few days. I say that "tongue in cheek" but really mean it (not quite as literally).
Anyway, when i go missing in a coupel of hours thats where I'll be.

Till next post.

All right, now that I've offended somone reading this, let me explain myself. Please read the above mentioned article, and realize what it means.
I would dissuade any catholics reading this to maybe realize that the catholics, might possibly not
have it all figured out

The finest yet short film put out by Deck of Cards productions.
Starred in by yours truly.
Enjoy

Small note

This movie is approximatly 15 minutes long, so will be most efficiantly viewed by broadband cable and dsl viewers.
Although if you are very patient you can still use dialup.

Changes

Well I never thought I'd see the day.

In the last couple of years I've thought about how great it would be when I was in collage and I can't wait to live in a dorm and such.
It's so strange that as i draw nearer and nearer to the point in my life where I will most likely leave my friends and family and home for a collage , most probably in another state. I realize more and more how much I'm going to miss my home,
my parents, my friends, my cat!, and of all things,
What am I gonna do without my younger siblings?!
What an absurd thought!
No, I realize I should love my siblings, and I do. The thing is that, I always thought I would sure be able to put up with not having to deal with them every day.
Anyway, pray for me as I make the decision whether to go to this collage or that. I really wish God would just (as I said in a conversation with Tony) send me an E-mail with the name of the collage and date I will be applying.
But no, life isn't that easy is it? So, I will continue to wonder what God has planned for me (probably until the last minute, ugh).
Anyway,
Thanks for taking time to see what's going on in my life (head actually)
and, please leave a comment and say a prayer for me, in this most strange and changing time I swim my way through in my life.

Till next post.

Thanks for reading!

Bill of NON-Rights

Here is something i got in an e-mail.
Don't leave yet!
I wouldn't normally post something from an e-mail becuase most of them have been seen way to many times, but I for one haven't seen this before and think that alot of people need to read and realize this.


We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob , cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job . All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!

& lastly...

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!

If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about time common sense is allowed to flourish. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will?

Vote - it's as American as an American can be!
