.

Well I have realized... I am not a fan of staying up into all hours of the night/morning until my brain is grogged. It is just not for me. It is not fun... K soo its funny when you're really tired you and you say stupid things that nobody else understands or can even comprehend but still.
I had 5 cups of coffee... 2 energy drinks, and who knows what else. :D (meaning, I dont know...)

So the you lock in. yes.
The first half of the night/morning was good... then we played dodgeball which was grand, but tempers started flairing as we all got tired. Not to mention the unhonest kids, who make the game soo much harder.

After that... all people wanted to do was play guitar hero soo... I have become soo tired of GH, it's not even funny.
BUt all the planned events were... awesome to say the least... bowling, love it. Fear factor... I must say though I am a deffinate wimp when it comes to eating unfamiliar things. Yes I am a guy, but I cannot change my innerds... well I could... but, it would get messy.

Pizza... I had one piece... and it wasnt even from my pizza... people were pretty piggish on the pizzas haha. The toppings... meh werent my favourites but, not a big deal.

all in all a wonderful night. besides the lack of sleep.


Tonight I am going to a focus club, Christmas banquet. I will get food, it will be good.

Tommorow, I am delivering my drums to max's house. I will miss them, they are my first and only kit soo far. Take care my precious.

I slept two hours this afternoon... I am trying to hold out till tonight. Soo I stay on track.


Well i must go and get ready for things.

Farewell, my lovely bloggers.

Not Good.......

Well, i am not doing soo well.
I am soo angry at school... it is stupid...
I dont want to do it anymore.

but other than that... I am AMAZING!... hehe

Soo I was reading a certain someones blog about earl grey tea...and I realized i havent had tea in a while... I had gotten out of the habit of 3 cups in the morning...
Soo I boiled a pot... yes I stuck a pot in water and boiled the pot.
K I boiled some water... and ya ,had me 3 cups of earl grey this morning.

I have been looking at some shnazzy drumsets over the past couple of days... if you didnt know I am selling mine and getting newer, better... bigger... cooler... awesome-r...double bass-e-r drums...ya.
Selling mine to Max hayes hehe. awesome.
But I realized drums are much more expensive than I thought and what they used to be. hmm.
I will possibly pay 2-3 times as much as what I paid for the ones I have.
But oh... the new ones are going to be stylish...

Notice all the pedals on the floor... hehehehehehehe.








Well sorry to say but this is not the kit I am getting buuuut... something close to it....


Kidding... hehe

This is actually the one I really want...



;P

I am sure I will find something in between these two that will suffice.

ACTUALLY I have decided to spend my money on a new guitar...



YAY! glad we can agree.

Well.... enough shenanagins!

9 Times

Well today... I MADE COOKIES... hehe

I have to say the funnest part of making chocolate chip cookies(CCC's) is eating half of the dough while rolling it onto cookie sheets... delicious.
Now I normally don't like to make CCC's because of how boring they are. But I was craving them pretty bad.

Today Lanny, my parents, and I got our picture taken for a news article about Samaritans Purse Shoe Boxes... The article, which was done by Rebekah Hammond might I add... was accepted by The Daily News paper and will be seen on Wednesday I believe.
WHICH, might I add, makes me even more of a celebrity. This marks down the 9Th time I have been in the paper since I lived in Kamloops, not to mention one TV add for the BC games. I mean... the paparazzi are just all over me. Like.... ya. Most of the other pictures of me have to do with sports... Gymnastics, Diving, and even one of me rollerblading at McArthur island... now.. coincidence.... I think NOT.

Uh...huuuuuuuuh!

Well the basement now looks like a suite! fridge, freezer, tv, computer, 5 instruments, a couch...ans soon a microwave and possibly a toaster oven.
Hot froot loops! it looks good!
Today i played some drop in hockey with mu dad... and destroyed the basement for 6 hours this afternoon and night! Getting ready for Andrew to come home... and getting my moms bookstore shelves out.

Last night I took Lanny to see the Blazers game... well we lost 5-2 but as Lanny said... "even if we loose... it's still fun to go to games, right?"
hah awesome.
We had chicken strips, rootbeer, and fries, while enjoying watching the blazers.

Same work shifts this week... they will change to extended hours next week... soo I will work 3-10 on tuesdays, and possibly add one or two more shifts somewhere along the week. Christmas time is always busy, soo I will stay focused on selling and will never be bored. yay! It will be hard though seing everyone buying Christmas gifts and OVERloading on their mastercards haha. Our family I think is only doing stockings this year and will possibly be giving what would have been our Christmas present money... to some organization.

I am selling my drumkit in 2 weeks and will be looking for a new one, hopefully with double bass and the whole cabootle! Hopefully in the 500-800$ mark...

I am also hopefully splitting car insurance with Andrew when he gets back... which will be fantastic.

Soo I want all of you... to keep me accountable for not spending money on un-needed things...i.e eating out, cd's, helping homeless people get a meal... ok I am kidding with that last one, encourage me to do that... but anything not needed just punch me in the face and say... "Nay Nay!" Thanks.

Smoked out!

Monday a bunch of us men went out into the wilderness to seek fame, fortune, and smoked out eyes and lungs. We succeeded. Now, Scuitto lake isn't the most rugged or inhospitable wilderness we could find, but we found ways of making it a little interesting. This camp out consisted of manly things such as eating with our hands, peeing simultaneously off the same rock, a big fire, manly stories, and sleeping in a van when we could brave the wind chills and snow no more. K so they aren't the manliest things we've ever done and that last one... well not very manly at all but for a short, 16 hour, Remembrance Day camping trip it was quite nice. Tim, Mike, Cade, Behn, Seth, Curtis, Matthew.M, and myself braved the cold winds of a camp out monday night, it was swell. We ate hot dogs, and... well pretty much just ate hot dogs...Built a big fire.. that was soo smokey, even my sleeping bag... which was in the van... now needs to be dry cleaned.
Every room I have been into since I got home, now smells like smoke. I have showered now but, my jacket, 2 sweaters, a knife, and some leftover food are absolutly tainted by smoke, hehe.
From there, Curtis dropped me off at home, where I prepared for work in an hour. Let me tell you, if I hadn't been getting paid time and a half, I would have walked off the job I was so groggy. I am pretty sure I was thinking what to say to my customers and actually saying something else... hopefully they weren't offended.

All in all a good Remembrance Day... I do have to say though, I am not a big remember the war kinda guy. I have pretty much no relatives that actually fought in WWI or WWII that I know of... I am sure being in the war must have been tough though. The veterans have gone through a lot, and probably still do go through a lot.

So I am doing pretty great, have my N, cruisin' around town whenever I want... well not true at all actually... I still have to fight for the only insured vehicle haha. BUT SOON, I will have money and an insured car, and then no money for gas... waaahh us teens can never win can we?
I already feel like the errand boy... after like, a lot of errands... like.... 2 pretty much... hahah
Driving is sooo sweet... I used to not like it but... it is alot of fun. Especially being in the car by myself... I can take corners as fast as safe but not have anyone yelling at me... and turn my music louder than normal. yay!

I went to play drop in hockey on Monday and found out that it was cancelled Monday and Tuesday.. there was a tournament going on. So I stayed and watched for a bit, it was Midget AAA which is 14-17 year olds... pretty much my age. Actually I was pretty impressed... it was very exciting, I would rather watch this than WHL. The guys were pretty good at hockey, pretty good skaters, but there were a lot of turn overs and stuff, I wished I was out there. Someday I will get my chance to play on an actual team. After watching for about an hour, I picked up some pizza from little ceasars and brought it home to my family.

We have just stared some renos in the house, finished some but the best are yet to come. The best news, Lanny has moved from downstairs to upstairs and in 2 and a half weeks, me and Andrew will have pretty much the whole downstairs to ourselves. YAY!!!!! We will be sleeping in my room, and have all our instruments and computers and junk out where my moms bookstore was, which is leaving our family. We are also turning the downstairs bathtub (which has problems) into a shower stall, it will be grand, how are we going to have the money for this?... I have no clue, God will provide as usual. We are going to have the best studio in our downstairs ever... Electric, bass, and accoustic guitars, drums, and a keyboard. Pretty sweet.
I don't know how I am going to do with having another bed in the same room as me... I dont know how Andrew is going to do haha. It should be ok though!


LOST!!!
I am regretting saying... I am in love with this show now........
I know I know very hypocritical of me... But it is amazing.
I used to say it was dumb... but thats just because everyone was raving about it, and I fealt left out haha.
I have borrowed season one... which I have seen 50% of already but it is not good to watch in snippits. Soo I have been exploding through episodes the past couple days.
I love th whole cast... very well picked...
I would have to say my least favourites are Michael, Jin-Soo and Sun,, they have proved to be super annoying soo far... and of course my favourites are Hurley, Locke, and Kate... sometimes Jack... but he can be pretty... know it all...
EXCITING!
I have deffinetly not given up on 24 though, I still love my Jack Bauer... and will never leave him.


Life is awesome! I couldnt ask for more right now, other than my whole family being together... stoked for Christmas. I could possibly use a job change buuuuut... I cant complain about their flexability.


Love you!
stay off the roads! hehehe
You'll be hearing from...

I was like yes... good luck... the instructor came in for her... and my dad was like, "ooooh he is "the good" instructor... he is cheerful and always passes people... I was like "Yeeees... he looks like the only instructor in here right now, I deffinetly get him".... EEEHHEHH not a chance... he left...
Then a lady stepped from behind the counter and called my name... Holy crap... it's my turn...
She was fairly old... had a nice smile... we got into the vehicle and started driving and talking... and...
Being a christian and going to church has its benifits... let me tell you haha.
Turns out she went to the alliance church and had been to... china, bangkok... japan... vietnam... and a whole bunch of other places... soo we shared our trip stories with eachother... and the time went by super fast!
Well.. needless to say I botched both my parking jobs but did soo well on shoulder checks and the whole... not going 90 through school zones thing that she gave me my N... and away I left... ready to take on the world of driving!
