Yay for them!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a great movie! You should go out and see it. I mean it! Get off your computer, call some friends and go!
Well, I miss the guys at ovacs! Umm....work has been kinda boring without my clone and Lola there.

Did you leave yet? Its about time...nerd.

Why wont they listen?

No, Catholics dont worship the saints!

He just wants some fooood.

So, my computer goes very slow and while I was waiting for the create a post thing to come up I started to watch Scout. I noticed that he was sniffing the smell of chicken in the air and I was very bored so I started singing about him wanting food. Now anyone would say, "my friend, some people sing when they get bored." You would think that wouldnt you random person I would think as I replied, "you just need to shut up or Ill knock you off of your ladder!" But then Id feel bad for yelling at them so Id take them out to taco bell or something and buy them a taco and they would say, "cant I have 2 tacos?" but I would turn around in shock yelling, "how dare you ask for two tacos!

You ruined our friendship, then we would head to a park during the painful silence and wed notice that there was only one swing left and we would begin to run towards it but the random person wouldnt notice that I took out my sword to get the swing from him/her. So id swing for awhile as the person yelled at me then something else could happen then Id go home and go to sleep and then Id wake up and post on my blog about this whole thing and then Id realize how long the post was and say oh well and then Id be all excited because this was my 51st post. Congrats if you actually read all of that!

Soldiers of Christ

We should always remember that we are in a constant battle against evil and sin and to win we need God. If we stray from God to experience worldly things we will individually lose battles. Even then, we still affect the others who are trying their best to win. Those trying to win will see the earthly things and think that its ok to get drunk all the time or to completely forget their faith. Help your brothers and sisiters in Christ. If we set a good example for the younger ones, they may have an easier time striving to be holy. When I say younger ones, I dont mean those younger than us, I mean those who are just beginning their faith or those that have strayed but have returned to God. And dont think that Im trying to say that Im perfect, Im far from it. I most certainly dont always act as God wants me to. When songs say, "to live your life, youve got to lose it" I think they mean lose what America tells you what your life should be. Dont listen to what the media is telling you, listen to God.

"The murky sea is black
dismal and so deep
millstones rocket through the dark
into it's icy keep
A resting place for broken ships
a cemetery for the humble
no one's here to make you stumble

If Jesus Christ is true
then I am mostly lies
if Jesus Christ is Love
then I have failed to try
if Jesus Christ is Life
then please just let me die
let...this...die..."

Long live FIF!

This is the song Im listening to at this very moment.



"I have been scarred so deep by life and cold despair, and brittle bones were broken far beyond repair. I have leveled lies so deep, the truth may never find. And inside my faithless heart, I stole things never mine.

*If mercy falls upon the broken and the poor, Dear Father, I will see you, there on distant shores.*

I have toiled for countless years and ever felt the cost, and I've been burned by this world's cold, like leaves beneath the frost. On my knees I've crawled to You, bleeding myself dry. But the price of life is more, than I could ever buy. *

And off of the blocks, I was headstrong and proud, at the front of the line for the card-carrying, highbrowed. With both eyes fastened tight, yet unscarred from the fight. Running at full tilt, my sword pulled from its hilt. It's funny how these things can slip away, our frail deeds, the last will wave good-bye. It's funny how the hope will bleed away, the citadels we build and fortify. Good-Bye.

Night came and I broke my stride, I swallowed hard, but never cried. When grace was easy to forget, I'd denounce the hypocrites, casting first stones, killing my own. You would unscale my blind eyes, and I stood battered, but more wise, fighting to accelerate, shaking free from crippling weight. With resilience unsurpassed, I clawed my way to You at last. And on my knees, I wept at Your feet, I finally believed, that You still loved me.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make every new day seem so new."
-FIF The End is Near/Here(live)-final album

This is such an awesome song! Everyone should listen to it right now!

Beautiful blogger bunnies butter blueberry biscuits!

Hey Tony! I love the things you do! Hey Tony! If I could I would be you! Youre the one and only tiger, with the one and only taste, knows how to take a breakfast and make it grrreat!

Public enemy number 1

Hmm, Ive got a big bad voodoo daddy song in my head. I need to cut my hair...its getting too long! Well, I dont know, do you guys think I should cut it? Ill let you guys give comments about it , if you do. Right now its at the length where it all goes up in a pony tail but if I just have it down it goes crazy because its hitting my shoulders causing it to curl up and stuff. I need to talk about important things in my blog huh.....hmm.

Pray for peace, for the people in London, and the people in the path of the hurricane!

He gave her a home built of gold and steel
A diamond car with the platinum wheels

Had a million dollars worth of nickels and dimes
She sat around and counted them a million times

I have such a desire to knock heads together!

Welly welly welly well! It’s a great day! I did have work today but it wasn’t bad because I had Jess and Becky to keep me from falling asleep. I loved the play last night! The little kids were so cute and of course Michael did a good job, no he did an awesome job!

I’m Aladdin yes I am,
and you know Alakazam,
and I'm
at your service,
at your service,
at your service ma'am!

(I know that’s a completely different play but its been in my head all day!)

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT! Be safe and stay cool everyone. Oh, and although many people in this country dont want anything to do with Him, God Bless America!

"My friend, you underestimate the power of gerbils."

Have you ever tried to spend some time without using electricity? Its hard! I was so tempted to turn on the tv. Well, we did end up turning it on, but that was after almost half and hour of just talking while using fun candles. Thats when we started talking about fireworks and then about building boats powered by gerbils. Hmm...Happy 3rd of July!
Till then, till then, I am, as I ever was and ever shall be... yours, yours, yours, yours, yours...saltpeter...John, pins...Abigail.

A Salute to Mo the Great

I have noticed that Mo has been commenting on alot of my posts lately and I thought I would thank you...uuhh... THANK YOU MO!
Well, I finished watching all of the signing time videos and I know alot of the basic words in signs. Ive learned alot of signs for food and stuff. Now I need to move on to the connecting words. Well, thats about it. Oh, and today is the day on which the Continental Congress passed the bill that stated that "these United Colonies are, and of right, and ever ought to be, Free and Independent States..." as proposed by Richard H. Lee, from Virginia. If youve seen 1776, you know how cool it is.

I miss brass!

WHAAAAA! I cant wait till full band!

Historical Context

I like this background. Its very calming. Do you guys like it? I only had to work till 10 today. It was nice to get out early, but I dont think we should have even had to come to work at all! *Sigh* Im sleepy, but I know if I take a nap, I wont be able to think clearly the rest of the day. If youve never talked me after a nap, you can pretty much understand what its like by looking at the post called Im a little tired...zzz. lalalala!

I wonder how practice for brass is going. I miss you guys. I remember last year when Miss R was talking about trying to make this band all brass, and then some of the brass people were all excited. Not all of them, just some. I know alot of people cant stand woodwinds because alot of what they hear doesnt sound great. Its not right to put the woodwinds down because they dont always sound great. Youve gotta understand, alot of our saxophones are broken beyond repair, and even if they are kinda fixed, things always end up breaking soon after. Im really not mad at anyone, Im just thinking about this stuff.

I just cant stand it when people are like, "Oh! No woodwinds today, we'll actually sound good." I know we do have some poeple who are still learning how to play, but dont say that to the rest of us. We have been working just as long as you guys have and I cant stand it when people question our playing skills. No, saxophone isnt my favorite instrument, but Ive got to play it anyway so people can almost, kinda hear me. And dont yell at the saxohones to try to be as loud as the brass, woodwinds arent built that way.

When we went in to choose what instruments we wanted to play, no one told us that if we picked woodwinds, we wouldnt be loud enough, or that people would constantly remind us that we were out of tune, or that we would be mocked. Thats not right. I mean, I love brass, I really mean it! You guys are great, you sound really good together, but we cant help it if our instruments tend to break more often then yours do. Honestly, if clarinets were loud enough, I would have never switched,I know how to play that instrument, I actually took lessons on it, thats why I love concerts! So, if you ever hear a woodwind having a hard time with a note or something, dont just think, "Oh, its a woodwind, they obviously havent worked hard enough" No, we have worked just as hard as you have to master our instruments, so dont ever look down on us. "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."
Till then...
PS-This rant wasnt sparked by anything that anyone did this year, it was pretty much just built up over time and I just thought I should lay it down.

I really do love the brass, I like to listen to God's music from the trumpets and the angelic tones produced by Jess and Sassy(who I get to practice with) and, of course, low brass, well, what can I say, you guys rock. And we are a part of your section whether you like it or not,cya!

Purified Drinking Water

I got payed today! Yay!!!! More money for Damon's nights! Yay! Band is going pretty well! Its nice because we actually go through each measure and look at every note. Now everyone should actually know how to play. Well, we finally figured it out. I always thought that I couldnt play a low C just because I wasnt putting enough air in the saxophone, but no, its not me, the keys arent closing all the way.(My sweet little Callisto, why must you torment me so?)So once Cal gets better there should be no problem. Yay...no, this calls for a Huzza! Where art thou dog? Buenos Noches! Till then...

Doc Holiday

Yes, I have decided that tombstone is an awesome movie! I love Doc Holiday! He reminds me of Jack Sparrow! Theyre both insane, but it makes it fun. Thats why I think Ill be insane at camp this year. I might scare some people but hey, if you need to add a little insanity into your life to make it fun, by all means, go crazy! GTG.Till then...

"How much time do we have?"

*students look up at the clock*

"The answer my friends is not on the clock. Not alot , my friends that is the answer, not alot. Every minute is precious. Every second is precious. Especially for all of you. And if the principal comes in here looking for a high back antique leather chair....I was never here."

***********************************NEW SCENE***********************************************
"Hear me my chiefs my heart is weak and sick. Though flesh may turn to dust my soul will stand strong and will soar higher than ever before. Like a distant echo of a beating drum breathing life like the wind, as a part of all living things now and forever.

I really like these quotes. Theyre from an ABC TV movie called, "School of Life."
Cya and till then.........

Cheese out!

Im so pumped right now! Im going to see Switchfoot and Relient K tomorrow!!!! YAY! Im dead tired right now but Im still typing with energy.lol. Cya, till then...

Ive been hit!

Yes, I was shot the other day. The story begins at Damons, a steak place. Whenever my crew worked at the dorm across from it, we could smell the food and decided that we would go there and get steak, b/c you have to get steak at Damons. Well, it turned out only two of us actually held up our end of the deal by ordering it. So, Im not exactly sure what happened, it was all so sudden. All I remember is trying to cut this steak while being distracted by jess messing with the tv dial thing at the table, thats when it happened. My clone's account was that she was eating, heard a "bang" looked up and saw me covered in what looked to be blood(it was dark in there) and thinking,"oh my gosh! manda's been shot!" Actually, it wasnt blood, it was A1, but it looked like blood that was all over my face, in my hair, and all over my shirt. I guess you had to be there. Someone must be out to get me though cuz I had another near death experience today at work but I wont get into that. If you really want to know just ask. Its hard to explain. Oh and Chris, youd better update your blog again but you better make it a good post this time! Im joking, Im sure youre busy. Cya guys! Till then...

Blue Rubber Clippers

UPDATE YOUR BLOG CHRIS!

I go to Rio!

So, I have come to the conclusion that Chris is no longer allowed to stand behind me in any parade/drill/marching...thing. I have decided that he makes me too nervous about shifting in the line("If anyone shifts, I will kill them!") causing me to think about shifting too much which in turn causes me to shift! Im not exactly sure what happened, all I know is that I was thinking about not shifting, and ended up doing just that! Oh, and Chris, you can just try and kill me, I doubt you will be able to do so! Im really not mad at Chris, Im actually mad at myself, but the whole experience did humble me. Well, I got a letter today! It was an invitation from the famous poets soceity, inviting me to the famous poets convention in Reno, not Rio as my title suggests. At this convetion, I would be awarded the famous poet of the year award and a 2005 Famous Poet medallion. lol! This is funny but the funniest part is that it said something about appearing on their tv show and being in some parade. You can tell it's all a scam by the way you have to pay for every little thing you do. lol! Well, Im off! Till then, till then, I am, as I ever was , and ever shall be-yours, yours, yours, yours, yours! Your obidient, 2005 Poet of the Year
