Something to Spice Things Up

It's late. It's like, 9:14. NO WAIT! It's 9:15 now.

Anyways, I realize that it's a late hour and I also realize that my posts can get quite lengthy. So I'll just summarize. Ahem...

A little opera goes a long way
I am a pineapple's best friend
There goes the Cantaloupe Snatcher
Sitting next to the caramel campfire
Someday, I'll live in a honeycomb
My French friends live on oranges
Airline food
Airline french fries
Airline TWINKIES

Wait, I'm getting off topic. . .

Christmas is about to blanket our fingertips
Where has the little egg gone?
Space pirates
Ethereal sunset on the lake bed
CRAP IT'S ALREADY 9:22!!
Caterpillar siblings
The ice blanket slides down the afterglow
Michael Jackson

WOAH WOAH WAOHHHH. Wait up. Michael Jackson? Ok. It's late. I'm done.

Silly, Silly High School Kids

Silly, silly high school kids. Silly, silly indeed. 'Cause seriously? I'm only 15. K? Let's get that through everyone's mind before we begin this post.
. . .
Ok, well we've already begun, but just get that through your mind.

Incident #1 
Location - Seminary
Time - 6:50 AM
We were beginning class with the devotional and everything, when we got on the subject of the Night of Shakespear happening that night. People start getting curious and asking questions, when the girl sitting next to me leans over and whispers, "What time was that at again?" I told her it started at 7:00. She then proceeded to ask, "So what part are you?" "Oh I'm not in Drama 4," I replied. Shocked, she turned to face me and exclaimed, "What? With how good you are?!" (Which I'm really not all that great, by the way) "Why not?" "Well, I'm already in Musical Theater, and I didn't really have room in my schedule for any more drama besides that. Plus I'm only a sophomore, so I couldn't be in that class anyway." Even more shocked looking, she says, "Are you kidding me? I thought you were a senior!" I just sarcastically laughed, and half hid my face behind my hymn book until class started.

Incident #2
Location - Spanish II
Time - Around 8:40 AM
So Sr. Taylor was leading us in a class discussion about household items, and parts of the home and such. When we got to the computer, we started naming its parts. Monitor? La pantalla. Mouse? El Raton. Keyboard? El teclado. I was the one to answer what the keyboard was, because I vaguely remembered what I had learned about the computer back in Spanish I. "Muy bien!" Came Sr. Taylor's reply to my answer. Then without thinking, I made the comment, "Whew! 9th grade Spanish is staying with me!" After I said that, Sr. Taylor laughed, and went on with the things he was talking about. Then the girl sitting in front of me turned around and said, "You can remember way back to what you learned in 9th grade?" "Yeah..." I started to say kind of sheepishly. "I'm only in 10th grade..." "Oh really? I thought you were a senior!"
Bueno.

Incident #3
Location - The Bus
Time - 2:20 PM
School had just gotten out, and I had just gotten onto the bus. I was pretty early, which was different for me, 'cause I'm usually running to try and catch it before it pulls out of the lot (my bus is the very first one. Just my luck). So I got to claim which seat I wanted to sit in that day instead of having to lay on top of people with my books on somebody's face, and somebody sitting on my backpack. But no! I got to pick my own seat. Soon though there were swarms of kids coming onto the bus, and before I knew it, I suddenly couldn't see the ceiling anymore. But then I realized that's just cause I wasn't looking up. A few moments later, somebody from MDT sat down in the seat behind mine, and was like, "Oh man! Can you believe that dance today?!" I couldn't, and I informed them of that. Then she went on to say, "Yeah, but we'd better enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause this is going to be our last performance!" Psh. I didn't know what she was talking about! We still had one more that year! "No, because after this we still have Pippin!" I said. "Oh, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, we're going to be in college next year!"
Well. This was news for me. I thought I still had 2 years of high school left! "No, I've still got two more years of high school left actually." Being the stupid-kid-that-never-thinks-before-he-talks that I am. 
"What?! Aren't you a senior??"

Ok, it gets old after a while. Actually, it got old after the first time. I'd like to point out that these first two incidents were in the same day, and this third one was only a couple of days before the first two. I just ordered them this way, because time wise, that's how they went.  I'd also like to point out that every single person who stopped to say, "wait a minute..." was a girl.

Figures.

Don't get me wrong, I love being me! ...But I want to be me! Not this senior kid who is in Spanish II. I just want to be a sophomore! It kinda wears on you after a while. Although, there are a million ways to take advantage of this situation. And it may be fun to try some once in a while... XD.

But seriously. Do I really look like a senior to you?

Slacker-Bum Lazy-Pants

That basically describes me. I mean, seriously. The last time I posted was like, a month ago! A MONTHHH!!! What I really need is a meaningful post. Completely heart-felt. Strait from my soul.

. . .

But unfortunately, that's not what you guys get today. Just a remorseful little boy who blogs about being lazy.


P.S. I said blogs, not brags. Just in case you read that wrong.

P.P.S. This post is done now.

P.P.P.S. . . . For reals.

P.P.P.P.S. STOP READING!

P.P.P.P.P.S. Y'know what? Forget it.

Looking For Something New?

I've found some really cool/ funny/ amazing things lately. Wanna know what they are? Well luckily for you, I'm gonna tell you! (I would obviously tell you anyway, 'cause I'm blogging about it. I mean seriously, can you imagine how rude that would be if I just started into something and then left it hanging?) . . . (Hehehe... There's an idea for a future post...)

The Cool
Did you know that I recently began a new chapter in my life? I call it, "High School." And since I have no older siblings, nor anybody to seek guidance from of what this high school is like, it was like an adventure for me. Correction: It was an adventure for me.

And I'm looking forward to every minute of it.

I also began playing Rugby. You know, kind of like football without pads. It's gonna be intense! Although, a 125 pound kid isn't going to be much of a threat to a 3-ton Tongan who's charging forward with the ball, but hey. It's for the fun, right?



The Funny
So, I've been hanging around Jason lately. And being around Jason always gives you a good laugh. Yesterday was no exception. So there we were, out in the Eaglecrest Elementary field. Maddie, Alesha, Parker, Jason and I. And we were having a good time! But it got better.
So we were sitting on the power box as usual, when Jason says, "Hey, wanna hear a joke?" Of course we do. But do you want to hear it? Of course you do! So I'll tell you :)

What's worse than finding a worm in your apple?

The Holocaust.

But wait, he's not done yet!

Why did the boy drop his ice cream cone?

He got hit by a bus.

Yeah. Life is never dull with Jason!

The Amazing
By amazing, I mean music. What else would I call amazing? Don't answer that.

So let me share with you some songs that I've found lately that I have absolutely fallen in love with.




(Also check out Arial Promenade by Seagull Orchestra)



If you don't feel like listening to these, that's ok. But these songs and these artists are amazing! They just add... enchantment to life. I love it so much! And I forever will.

Top 10 Things - School

Top 10 Things
Reasons school must start again
  1. The elements of nature have never been on our side anyway
  2. Obama hasn't resigned yet
  3. The extra-terrestrials have invaded. They are now our teachers and they want to suck out our brains as soon as they can
  4. I was only kidding about the first part of number 3. Our teachers are human. But we still don't know their designs...
  5. The media hasn't influenced the principal at all (obviously)
  6. Somebody faxed me. That may not be a reason to start school again, but it's almost definitely a bad sign
  7. They have trained our internal clocks to wake us up earlier for these nine months anyway. Curses...
  8. They just finished brainwashing the summer school students, and they weren't completely satisfied. As usual
  9. Unicorns no longer exist. Proof? There would've been an epic battle between the power of good and school. But the human race hasn't seen this battle since Noah's ark when he forgot to get a pair of Unicorns.
  10. I'm writing a blog post about it

Get Ready For Random

BEHOLD!



The mighty albatross. See how it spreads its wings in pure majesty. Watch as it leaps, flaps, and soars into the distance. Off into the glowing sunrise. Or maybe it was the solar eclipse...

I wish I had a camera right now.

Because some things can't just be captured in your mind. Because eventually, no matter how hard you try, it's going to evade your memory. Because sooner or later, the stars are going to fall from the sky, creating a swirling, awe-inspiring rush of wind and imagination. Because, just like those stars, you too want to be free.

When you think of pencils, where does your mind lead? Haha! Pun not originally intended. Although, when you read back over it, it's kind of funny :)

I'm laughing right now. Why? Because I'm staring at a black, twisty chord connected to my house phone land-line. Don't ask me why.


Orange diamonds glitter in the sky. Deep velvet blankets the air. If you really want to fly, why aren't you up there? If the seagull sun doesn't impress your view, then go back home. Because I'm stuck here like glue.

Sometime in life, we're all going to have to face the unexpected. For me, who knows when that will be? Not you.

But I know when you will be caught off guard in your life.

Right now.
