Christmas Wrap-up

this is not the average christmas wrapup. I'm not going to post what I got or anything, cuz i personally don't think people really care. But I will post what I did.

Christmas Eve

I played guitar hero on my lap like a piano. It was much easier for me. 

I still lost to a 6 year old tho.

I got to annoy my cousin's crazy dog with him.

He also taught me the beginning of Soulja Boy

We listened to the police bulletin about Santa.

Christmas Day

We got my dad Call of Duty 4.

The graphics are amazing.

I play against Chase and my dad and still win.

Even when they cheat.

After, a visit from the gps, we went to the movies.

Saw National Treasure:2

Pretty Good.

Came home and played CD:4 some more.

Went to the gps up the street.

Hung out

Ate dinner and laughed the whole stinkin time.

Opened gifts 

All the grandkids got harmonicas

We went upstairs and played James Bond on a gamecube

Came down and watched the other cousins do crank that

They're really good cuz they're dancers

Ate dessert

Hung out

Formed a harmonica band

It was life changing

I love

these guys

Thanks for being so awesome.

Christmas

 Yesterday we flew out to catalina in a private jet for lunch.

Then tonite, I read till 11:30 since i wasnt tired at all. 

Then I got woken up by the winds. They were so bad, they blew a screen off. 

They kept me up since 4 o'clock and then i went to sleep for about an hour.

Then lotsa gifts.

Really fun. 

I got alot of junk food :D

Hope you have a great and merry christmas

I'm bringing blogging to an all new high (for me)

On this Sunday, a new level was reached.

52 People read this blog that day. 

And all were changed in some way.

For many it was subtle. 

For others it changed the way 

they looked at the world.

So thank for bringing me into your internet experience

and helping along this journey called life

ugh

Ugh. I cant sleep because of the santa anas. Where i live they r literally amplified twice. Plus my window is shaking and making noise.
^^From My Cell Phone ;)

Update:Now I am awake, and im really tired. Why couldn't it blow tomorrow when I didn't have to do school?!?!

New Years?

This might be fun
"Crave, the college age ministry at Saddleback, will be hosting a New Years Eve party and have invited our students to join them for PROJECT: RAISE YOUR VOICE! New Years Eve in tent 3! Tickets are $15 and all of the money from the event will go towards building a hospital in Rwanda, summer 2008. for more information check it out here"

I dono. We'll c what happens, but it beats staying up watching fox news/re-runs

Greatt

Things I can Be Sarcastic About
Time made Russian President, Putin it man of the year.
It's raining. I always love to go to theme parks in the rain.

But seriously, Putin is going to be crazy dangerous soon.
And Universal should be fun

Oh yes...

I don't knw what to say about this, but they;re pretty good.

Quote

I really like this quote. Not sure who it is from but...

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom

:'(

What is society coming to?

Spears Daughter #2, Jamie lynn is pregnant. 

2 Problems

1. She's not married

2. She's 16 stinking years old. 16!

It just sad.

What more can I say?

At least she is keeping it and not getting an abortion.

I'm still sad.

First post via new phone...

Ugh...

This is kinda me ranting, but it needs to be said. I'm not just saying it to be like, "Oh I do this. I'm perfect." cuz im not. Anyways...

Being a gentleman.

It's a novel concept now.
I mean, its sad.
At abs when I offered to give up my chair cuz there were girls sitting on the floor, they were impressed. I mean thats sad. Something like holding a door is more common, but still isnt done enough. I mean its just the right thing to do, but its not done enough. 



Ok, im done ranting. I disabled comments for a reason, so dont comment...

Wow...

Shawn Blakeney is leaving.

Even a couple hours later its still not really registering.
I mean I understnad but hes always been the guy thats there.
I met him at the 06 Freshmen Frenzy and ive gotten to know him over these couple years. It'll b so different without shawn...

HSM bowl Practice #1

Total People:7

Freshmen:Nick T.

Sophomores:4-Me, Jason, Joe, Luke

Juniors:Andre

Seniors:Jay

Results:Pretty Sweet

We scrimmaged some guys there that are/were on varsity. Most go to college now. And we tied them :D

Ways people come to my blog

1.Other people's blogs(Top Links:Ange, Jordan, Allison, Rachel, Bryce)

2.People search Zac Efron In Spanish?!?!

3.They search joshmm or my AIM sn.

On a side note, while most of the people reading are in the US, I also have a few hits from Western Europe.

This was very entertaining.

HSM Bowl

Today is practice for a team that is unnamed for now. Its going to be sweeet. I haven't played football in so long, hopefully the cleats still fit.

For those of you who haven't known me before high school, I played flag football. Not just one year, but 4 years of tough football. And do NOT tell me that flag football isn't as tough as regular football. Maybe on a hs level, but flag is just as hard as regular pop warner because a)u still have contact, just no pads. and b)its hard to grab a flag than tackle a guy.

Kid nation =(

Kid Nation #1 is over.

I am man enough to say it was good tv.

Enjoyed watching the the different kids interact.

Final thoughts

Jared and Alex should get a talk show together

It'd be interesting if a kid from the edge went on there.

What if I went on there?

Dk has a crush on Migle...

I woulda given the $50,000 stars to Sophia, Hunter, and Laurel/Morgan

It was nice the didn't do any romantic stuff. Kept it a family show.

anyways, im going to try to get a alex/jared talkshow

If you enjoy harry potter

difference between guys and girls

this mite be different than u think.

a while ago i was talking to my mom about the ROTC and all the benefits.

she said something along the lines of "you wouldn't even have to serve in a combat role."

I literally laughed on the inside because im a guy and i was thinking of being in a combat position. im not stupid or foolhardy. its hard to explain, but thats wat id want to do if i joined the military. im not afraid of dieing. im not just a huge patriot, i just believe that if im given talents i should use them to protect others.  and thats pretty much it. 

theres a ton of other benefits, but its definitely an option.

aw yea

gotta love google reader sooo much. makes  checking blogs a piece of cake.

Weekend Wrap Up

So this week was the AIDS summit/then youth summit/weekend.

Thursday-, Front Page, Hillary Clinton

Friday- AIDS Youth Summit Kickoff

Saturday-SAT 2, then Summit, ellis' party

Sunday-motel ministry instead of the edge, NAMMAE

Thoughts about ^^^

Hillary was good. Scary at sometimes, but good

Youth summit was good, just wet. btw-jordan pruitt pretty much bombed. it was no fun to even joke around with it. Free tommys is always good tho.

SAT 2 was ok, 

summit was awkawrd, but good overall

ellis' party wasnt really a party cuz there was only 4 ppl there, but the cookies were good an it was fun

motel ministry was fun* 

NAMMAE=North American Mixed Martial Arts Expo

was cool. fun to c guys grappling. total martial artist thing

Motel Ministry*

So i had to miss the edge to go serve breakfast  at a motel. it was cooler than i thought. we got up there rocking to David Crowder band. it was interesting to c how ppl live outside of south orange county. One observation...

Common interests can crush any awkwardness. there were these two kids skating in the parking lot. we went up and one of the other kids from our group started skating with them. it  was cool to c how that could bridge gaps. u had to b there.

on that subject-its also really hard to make conversation with girls when u cant find anything interesting to say, even if theyre serving with u. u cant b like, o u go to misson when they have a hoodie on. so yeah, i never actually met them. :-/ o well. 

Im now waiting at the prestigous tesoro high school 2 take the SAT 2 for spanish. Then im heading 2 the youth summit.
