Work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.

Talent #2

Every one and awhile you just see some skill that makes you almost sick. Like, “How on EARTH did that dude get that skill? Natural gifting? Insane amounts of training?”

This is one of those cases: (Watch it all the way through!)

Music & Life

Wow I haven’t posted here forever! Looks like highschool is busier than I thought… Anyway here’s a cool playlist I made up of some of my fav songs. Enjoy!

Oh ya I’m going to the Square Dance this Saturday and it’s going to be awesome! Can’t wait!

School Started Yet Life Continues!

Augh! Sorry for the lack of posts the last few weeks! I’ve been so insanely busy keeping up with school I haven’t had time to write anything up! Anyway, a few updates:

I now have braces! Many of my friends recently got/had braces, and they are all very nice in either telling me that I will die by stab myself with the metal in my mouth, choke to death while I sleep, or have some evil menace plant a super-bomb in my mouth because I look inconspicuous. I prefer to think that my death will be a result of a snowboarding accident or something to do with corn chowder.
School is underway and I am flooded with it, literally. A wave of books recently covered our schoolroom and we take turns swimming through them to find each other’s assignments.
My iPod was lost yesterday at a Connect Group meeting, survived the rainstorm, and was found by Mr. Hollandsworth (Thank God!) today. My iPod is very resilient and loves a good fight. He said he gave the raindrops several upper-cuts and wild kicks while shouting, “That’s for the apple!”
I am considering buying a backhoe and investing in dirt. Somebody told me it never loses its value, so hey, I might as well save up.

Amazing song, amazing lyrics. ‘Nuff said.

9: The Movie

robert — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 17:32:09 +0000

9, a movie coming out on 9/9/09 (exactly a week from today), seems pretty amazing to me. Would anybody be interested in watching this? Tell me what you think: (Play it extra loud for the full effect, the music is awesome!)

The voice casts seems ridiculously good. It has Elijah Wood as the main character’s voice. Wood is Frodo in Lord of the Rings. The narrator in the trailer also has a really good voice for this movie, as does all the other characters. Also, from what I can get in the trailer, the music seems very promising to me as well. Maybe somebody could organize a bunch of people to go to this at Rio or something. I know several people who would already love to go. (I’m one of them!)

Skillet: Awake

You know the Rock Band, Skillet? Well, they recently released a new album and it’s pretty good. My personal three favorites are Hero, Monster, and Awake and Alive. The lyrics aren’t that great, tho…

Back from Camp Hemlock!

robert — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:52:55 +0000

Thought I could stick in a quick post right now. I just got back from Camp Hemlock yesterday and it was awesome! It was much harder work than I expected, but I really loved the time there and I have tons of good memories that I will look back on fondly.

Kevin was toothpasted about 3 in the morning two days ago, I got about 7 hours of sleep between both days, and I climbed down ~200 ft of rock through a fissure in the ground, as well as sitting through a rainstorm with RG waiting for two other helpers. (It turned out they ditched us…) I loved serving and I’m pretty sure I will again next year!

Cya ppls!

Nice idea. Looks like a failure from the start, sadly.
