TEXT BOOKS!!!! AHHH!!!!


Yes... You can see the picture corectly... these are my textbooks for the year! I'm gonna go crazy! AHHHH! I am taking AP Stats (College Freshman Class), AP World History (College Freshman Class) which I really still need the college board book for, P/AP Chem, P/AP Algebra 2, and P/AP English 2! Then I've got Student Council, Golf, and Spanish... but, man... I've got some heavy courses this year... so, I should probably go do the homework!

Cousins here from Virginia cont. and more....

I'll try and continue where I left off...


These, we call the twins... Will, my 6th grade brother, and Lauren, my 5th grade cousin. They do EVERYTHING together when they are around each other. They even have their own "penguin language"... oh yes, it IS scary.




These kids can sure brighten up any bad day, as they have done for me several times when I needed it most.






Mongerr! I have to show you my dogs before I go further! This is Chelsea, my $350 mutt... haha, she was supposed to be a chihuahua, but, she wasn't.


She poses for pictures, haha....






And, chester... my other chichuahua, only this one is REAL. He actually is what he was bought for. He is gettin up in age, 6 or 42 depending on how you look at it.


He is a good dog to just keep with you, as he rarely moves around... cough LAZY cough cough...





And, this is Kate... my middle cousin. She will be a Freshman this year and she is very eager to have a good talk with anyone. She holds her family and friends VERY close.... she has a lil of the teenage drama syndrome, but who doesn't now a days?




Alexis, the eldest of the three, is much more like me when it comes to talking and thinking. She and I have gotten in many an argument, believe me... but I think that finally, we have gotten past that stage of competitiveness... hopefully.

She is 15, born 5 weeks and 3 days before me.

Cousins here from Virginia



Last Tuesday, my cousins from Virginia (on my dad's side) got into the Desert City. Since then, we've been up to no good having fun all around town...


Pictured here are Aunt Linda (dad's only sibling), Katie (my middle cousin on this side), Grandpa, Me (The shirt & tie was for church reading), and Uncle Nick.





Uncle Nick was teaching me all of these holds they used to use on inmates when he worked on the prisoner's dental stuff... of course, these would've only been used in the case of self-defense. This one is one that eventually you twist the wrist around and use very little tork to inflict pain shooting up the arm. Eventually, it would snap... It HURT.





Well, I gotta go catch the bus to school, I'll see if I can't finish this one later. And check back when you can, I plan to post SOMETHING at least once a day every day...

"Dark Knight" Thrills


I went to see "The Dark Knight" on Friday with some good friends; we got to the theater at 4:30 and didn't get into a movie until 7:00! I was stunned with the wait time alone! However, the movie was easily worth the wait! I am telling EVERYONE,my friends and family, to go and see this movie! Even if you aren't a fan of Batman, this movie is VERY enjoyable! I am recommending it to all of you!


The Joker... man is he a sociopath... this guy is CRAZY... but the way Ledger played the part, its stunning! A great role! The Joker will live as one of the great movie villains from now on.


So, no choice in the matter... GO see it! 4 stars USA Today, 4 stars People, 4 stars Entertainment Weekly, 4 Stars Roger Ebert! It has broken the records for single day and weekend opening at the box office! Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart... this film HAS the acting aspect.


In fact, go read this review... http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080716/REVIEWS/55996637 right now... it embodies the fact that with this film, the story is no longer really a comic book... written by Roger Ebert.

Best movie this year! And I am not hinting at anything here, but it is currently #1 on IMDB's all time list.... user reviewed... look if you dont believe me.

THE START

So, this is the beginning of my blog... I wonder how it will work. I hope well. I hope to make this all that any of you might hope for it to be. I hope to let all of you know exactly whats going on in my life day by day. I'll be leaving stuff on anything that I might have done that day or just feel like telling to you.

GOO COLTS!
