One Day....

One Day -- Matisyahu

sometimes I lay
under the moon
and thank God I'm breathing
then I pray
don't take me soon
cause I am here for a reason
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day
it's not about
win or lose
we all lose
when they feed on the souls of the innocent
blood drenched pavement
keep on moving though the waters stay raging
in this maze you can lose your way (your way)
it might drive you crazy but don't let it faze you no way (no way)
sometimes in my tears I drown
but I never let it get me down
so when negativity surrounds
I know some day it'll all turn around
because
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day
one day this all will change
treat people the same
stop with the violence
down with the hate
one day we'll all be free
and proud to be
under the same sun
singing songs of freedom like
one day
all my life I've been waiting for
I've been praying for
for the people to say
that we don't wanna fight no more
they'll be no more wars
and our children will play
one day

Finally 15!

It's my birthday!!

My birthday today!! :D I had a great day and got many amazing presents!

Thanks everyone for a great day! :D

How to have a fun weekend in 5 simple steps:

1. Do fake smiles and throw marshmallows into each others' mouths.

2. Swing on the tire swing and play on the sport court.

3. Go to soccer practice with my soccer team

4. Find a random tire on the side of the road. Name it. Roll it to someone's house. Stick it on some decoration outside.

5. Find a shopping cart. Have the boys push you home in it. Make plans to trick it out.

First soccer game today.... wish me luck!

Hello Arizona!

We drove to Arizona today and get to see my cousins!! :D

Kay, i will be coming in just one more day!! (thursday! aka april fool's day. we need to think up some good pranks for the evening i come)

5 Essential Road Trip Items:

1. blanket/pillow

2. ipod

4. good book

5. food

6 Things to do on a road trip:

1. sleep

2. listen to music

4. text friends

5. watch a movie or two

6. read a good book (until you get car sick)

My Friends and I just being.... us!

That's right. We had an epic battle, pirates vs. ninjas. Ninjas won.

Now you are probably thinking, "Wow, you guys are weird."

My answer? "Why yes, yes we are. But I'm sure we have way more fun than all those normal people out there!"

Random stuff

I really should be doing homework but got distracted by the computer.... haha.

My friend and I are doing a Facebook fast for a week. we are probably addicted, but not for long!

Teaching keyboarding tomorrow again. I hope it's fun!

Ideas for when bored with your friends:

1. Pudding eating contest with your hands behind your back

2. Donut eating contest with no hands. Hang a donut on a string and have someone hold it above your head. You can't use your hands, now try to eat it!

3. Have an epic game of basketball. No penalties. Very entertaining (and painful! but fun!)

4. Go to 7-11 and get Naked. (don't worry, just the drink)

5. Watch Emperor's New Groove and give everyone characters (I was the old man that got thrown out the window haha :D)

To be continued another weekend....

Well, I better get back to my homework now. (Identities in math....some what confusing, but fun(: )

Goodbye for now!

Friends

I got out of the habit of blogging for the longest time, but last night I was reading my cousin, Kay's, blog and she has inspired me to start blogging again! I was looking through my pictures earlier and here are some of my favorites!

:D

Hey i found my password and got onto my blog! wooohoo! kay this is just for you :)

i <3>

I love this picture too!

well kay, it was short, but i updated at least!

Funny Pictures!

We Love Wheat Thins!

In October???

I woke up this morning to find this (except more)...

Snow?????? It's the beginning of October.  We haven't even carved our pumpkins!

ya... attempting to sled.

They were going S-L-O-W... haha!

There's a hole in our backyard!!!

Wow... They have finally started getting ready to build.  I came home from school Friday and saw this through the window! (except there was no snow and the tractor was working! :D)

An Update! :)

Sorry I haven't updated for the LONGEST time!  I am VERY VERY busy (mostly because of soccer! EVERY DAY!!!) and I guess you can also blame Facebook! :)  Here's an update! (and some random photos!)

Chandler, Ruby, Annie, Zoie and I go to Dairy Queen every Friday after school again this year! :) YUM!!!   now if only I can earn some money.....

ACTING!!! Every Tuesday Annie, Chandler, and I go to acting! It's way fun, except for the fact that we have to do some Shakespeare stuff. :(, and we always try to take action shots before and after class! ha ha!

Annie's birthday was a few days ago and (from left to right) Zoie, Ruby, Me, and Chandler "kidnapped" her and took her out to breakfast!  The masks didn't really scare her, but they did freak out her little brothers! ha ha!

FINALLY my piano teacher passed me off for 100 years by Five for Fighting.  It's fun to play, but took SOOOO long!  Now I'm playing Stuck in the Moment by U2! :) It's fun playing songs that aren't classical!

Soccer! I have soccer every day (usually) except Sundays!  I am doing school soccer and comp. soccer! ReALLY tiring but lots of fun! :)  Here is Ruby! look at how awesome that is!

That's my update! Have an Excellent week! :) I'll try to update more often!

You have to watch this!!! It's Hilarious!

Last Day of Summer Party!!!

Well, like a farewell party i guess.  Chandler, Ruby, Chandler's brother and his friends, and me all went to Lagoon!!!  It was really fun!  We went on tons of rides, played a bunch of the games (Colin's friend, Affie, won me a blow up guitar because the person guessed Affie was 7 when he is really 12!  Ha ha!  I mostly payed for the game so I got the prize!), and took lots of pictures!!! Here are a few of them!

on the way there...

finally there!!! and waiting for the rides to open.

We went on the cliffhanger.  There is Affie and Creg/Steve/Tim (whatever you want to call him) in the middle.  Yep! You got wet!

Chandler and I payed some extra money and went on the catapult!!! It was scary but only at the beginning! We could see the whole park!  It was probably the funnest ride!

We were very hyper...

...but soon crashed.

and then got abandoned... (well, actually there was a lot of traffic so it took a while for Chandler's mom to come and pick us up.  and we are just smart like that and forgot the stamp to get back in. haha!)

ya. he said if we rubbed the lollipop on our faces we would get why he did it.  ya. i don't know either.

i don't really know...

Ruby, pondering the meaning of life.  ha ha!

I think we all started going crazy...
