SO HERE IS WHAT I'VE BEEN UP 2.....

FIRST OFF i just wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who wished me a happy birthday. it was a quiet relaxing day, ending with the pres. debates. but i enjoyed it. my uncle is here from new mexico and i have a friend coming over whos gonna stay for afew days. AND my awesome mother made me a choclate-mocha gooey butter cake!!! (let me just say YUM!!)

this is my sister and uncle and cake.

Anyway, my mom wanted to know what i wanted for my birthday. so i said 'i would like to not have to clean my room' (because i knew my uncle would be coming to my house and i usually get kicked out of my room when guests arrive, so my room HAD to be clean)
Soooo she and my sister cleaned my room while i was gone for afew days. now, for some of ya'll who know me well or have seen my room, you'll know that i HATE to clean my room and i'm really really not good at keeping it clean. this last time it was the worse state its ever been, but now it's clean. i know some of ya'll wont believe me so i recorded a tour of my clean room.
so i would like to dedicate this video to my mommy and my sister katrina.
Enjoy

also, before when ike was about to hit texas, remember we went to IL. well one night my sister and i had nothing to do. so we decided to do this...
(WARNING : james dow, be warned. if you see this video, i don't think you'll ever talk to me again.....) :'-(

new pictures
well, it was very hard to get all these pictures taken because one of the younger cousins, jordan, is such a bird brain. he just wouldn't look at the camera for more that a half second. anyway, we went to sears to get these done today and it took awhile because there are 7 of us. lol..... so i thought i would share these though. i like them.

i had to clean my room today.
Now to most people who don't know me real well, you'd say 'well, so...' or 'thats good, she'll have a fresh start' . well no....
i think shanna-kaye might get it right in saying 'what on earth would get that girl to finally clean her room.' you see, i hate to clean my room. I used to trick katrina into doing it for me when we were much younger. I will go for years without cleaning it, i'm serious. I really hate it.
----------------
conversation:
mom: why don't you like to clean your room.
annie: because i know where everything is now.
mom: oh really, wheres your camera then?
annie:...... where i left it......
---------------
So yeah, back to the question. What scared me enough to wanna clean my room.
THE IRS.
thats what.

we have declared bankruptcy so we have to fill out afew papers. it's more like a book really.... or headache....
Whatever you wanna call it.
So there is this part in the book where you basicly list everything you own. Including all clothes, collections, furniture, jewelery, instruments, tools, more clothes, and i don't know what all....
So, i.... we all.... have to clean out the house to find all this stuff. that means i had to clean my room to get all my clothes sorted, washed, folded, and give away or put away.
i really hated today. All i managed to do today was get all the clothes from my bedroom floor and put them on my living room floor to be washed.
I have about 1/3 of my room still messy right now though. So i didn't clean all the way. :-)
(A little bit of normal is good for me.) lol

anyway, i'm going to bed now to get ready for tomorrow.. aka part 2... aka the day i have to count everything i own....
(pray for me..)

Wow.... this was really gross.......So i'd thought i would share.
Bonny picked me up this afternoon to take me to an asian market thing called 'Saigon Taipei'. Anyway, they have the weirdest stuff in there that i have ever seen. So, since i was there i thought i would share some of the pictures i got from my phone. Warning: If you are vegan or vegetarian, just don't look. I don't wanna hear about how wrong it is, trust me, the smell was very convincing. SO, just don't bother me about that. um.... yeah.... here we go....
Here is the place. it's near the haltom city area.
The do have some great stuff like this candy. I have never really tasted anything like it, i really can't even describe it but i love it.
And then there is everything else. This is really squid, and i am going to be eatin it in afew days..... (pray for me)anyway, next i'm gonna show you some of the grossest stuff in the store. (don't worry, i'll start off lite and work my way up.)
Here we have some frozen fish. Only some of the MANY frozen fish. (not includeing non frozen fish.)
does this look sanitary to you??...
OCTOPUS!!!!!!! (slimy, yet satisfying)
GIANT WATER BUGS!!!!! (...yum?...)
Now i know ya'll have heard of frog legs, but lets not be wasteful. lol.
I just love this pic because you can see the fish in the tank and the fish all laid out on display, AND the 2 dudes in the back gutting the fish.
eww.... that, my friends, is a HUGE cow tounge... :-p
And at last my final picture. (drum roll)Now we know what really happened to the 3 little pigs....Mua-hahahaha.........
-----------------
So what do ya'll think? This is just a small sample of what all was at that place. There was also chicken feet, hearts, livers etc..... Pork stomache, feet, rectum, ears etc..... lets see... Crickets, shrimp flavored chips, cartons of blood, whole eels (frozen), fertilized and partialy developed duck eggs, and quail eggs, 5 diffrent kinds of mint, and really big snails. You get the picture, just all kinds of things.
Anyway......
What else can i really say after all that....except..
G'night ya'll

ok, i need to take a poll on this or something.....

I am in a band. so far it has just been me and this guy from alabama.we both play guitar and we both sing and we have preformed together and we're really good. So we've been writing songs for awhile now, thats about all we can do for now because of the whole 'out of state' thing.... anyway, i call him to chat for awhile and he says he has found this drummer who is a friend of his. also this drummer guy knows a bass player. all in alabama.... if i was closer, i would be alot more excited about this, but being who i am and how i want everything to go right.... i am abit worried. BUT..... Then he asks if is girlfriend can join the band......
(i see the beatles in my future....)
I have met his girlfriend, she is really nice and i like her for him, but she also plays guitar. I said, you know, that we would have to think up something really cool to do with 3 guitarist in the band. but i've never heard her play so i don't know if she could out play me or something. Also, by adding all these people really quickly and how i am the only one that lives out of state... i thing i'm gonna be kicked out....
And i'm scarred and i don't know how i should tell him this. I've always wanted to be in a band, and we sound really great together.... i just feel like a 3rd wheel now, or i guess a 5th wheel.... what should i do?

Hey guys,
i need a favor from ya'll. you can read details in ginas message below. basicly you have the chance to send a message to one of 82 marines. i used to go to church with this guy, Justin Chetelat. He is an awesome guy and we've been really proud of him as of late, so i would really appreciate what you can do for him and his squadron. thanks!!
luv ya'll

-------------

Justin Chetelat has somehow earned the privilege of being the only one in his squadron to be allowed to receive a care package at boot camp. There's just one caveat: there has to be enough of whatever we send for every one of the 82 recruits in the squadron. We've got people working on the goodies. Here's how we could use your help: We would like to include a personal note for each recruit thanking them for their willingness to serve our country, congratulating them on getting them this far, and encouraging them to hang in there for these last three weeks, etc. (in your own words, please!) They will be graduating September 9th.

Will you write a short note for us? You can also forward this request to other people you know as long as I get all the notes in by Friday noon. You can include scripture if you want. If you know Justin, you can tell how you know him--you might want to mention that he's in Platoon 1022. Of course, we'll want your full name and address in case they'd like to write you back. Address it to "Dear Marine Recruit". Send all notes to Gina Calvert at calvertgina@gmail.com. The internet is a powerful place...it would be awesome if we got back enough notes to give each guy more than one note!
THANK YOU!

Gina

Poem for Mothers Day

Dedicated to Daphene Gibson, my mom.

"You are my mother and my friend,
Which is unusual.
Somehow our characters must blend:
Your wisdom and my will.
I turn, and you are there for me;
I speak, you understand.
I feel cared for, but also free;
You lead but don't command."

"I'm fortunate that I was born
To someone just like you;
I love you, not just as my mom,
But for what you are and do."

luv ya mom.

Imagine a fairy tale country that has a government based on freedom, democracy and basic human rights for all.Now, imagine that to prepare that country’s children for the rights and responsibilitiesof living in and contributing to the free, democratic society, the government institutes a strange practice:Beginning at the age of 5, children in the country are confined for 13 years as hostages to a totalitarian institutionrun as a dictatorship.In that institution, children’s movement and bodily functions are controlled and regimented.Children cannot get out of seats or out of rooms without permission.Calls to parents are forbidden except in emergencies.Children have no right to question the validity of the curriculum, no right to critical thinking in deviance to the teacher’s agenda,no right to dispute or influence procedures for maintaining order and guidance.Children have no right to a curriculum based on independent study,or to have honored their own learning styles and educational needs and goals.The children can only go out and get exercise for 10-20 minutes once or twice per day,but that stops totally around the age of 10.Children are taught that the democracy exists, but are not allowed to take part in it.At the age of 18, children in that country are released.They are expected to be ready to function in society, advanced education and careersas self-motivating, free-thinking, innovative and assertive individuals.Now imagine that this fairy tale is not a fairy tale, but the very real state of the American Educational Institution for the past 100 years.

MuggleNet reviews 'Deathly Hallows'

ok, the best harry potter website that I know of (Mugglenet) have been given the chance to review the new and last Harry Potter book. I though afew of you hp fans would like to read this.
-----------------------

---Last Sunday, we received a very, very surprising call from the Harry Potter publishers. They wanted us to have a preview of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As you can imagine, we were utterly flabbergasted. We, just like you, weren't ready to read the book, but we couldn't pass up that opportunity, now could we?

There's a catch. The publishers requested we only inform them of our thoughts on the book, and not post them online. But we really can't do that to you guys! Only a few of our staff members have so far finished it, and a little glimpse at their feelings can be read below. More will be added throughout the day. Enjoy...and shhh!

**Spoiler Alert**

"Dumbledore's triumphant resurrection, complete with the gaudy descent from the heavens on Sirius' motorbike was completely and utterly unnecessary...but at least we now know where the motorbike actually is and the significance of where it went after Book 1." -Brendan

"I couldn't believe Snape was the long lost love child of Aberforth and that goat. It explains so much, including Severus' appearance. And we now know why he told Harry to never call him a 'cow'-ard, because he was in fact part goat." -Micah

"It was great to find out what happened to Ollivander. I loved it when he walked into the Order meeting wearing a pink Hawaiian shirt, a straw hat and sunglasses and received a room full of blank stares. It was particularly funny when Lupin turned and said, 'Well, look who decided to show .'" -Andrew

"You know, I always had an inkling that there was more to Hermione than meets the eye; her immediate knack with magic, and her irregular mood swings towards supposed 'friends,' Harry and Ron. I should have known she'd switch to the Dark side eventually. I just wish she hadn't killed the whole of Ravenclaw in the process - I suppose it was just her annoyance at not being sorted there initially." -Ciaran

"Funny how things turn out, who would have thought Ron would become the ninth member of The Weird Sisters. Ron with long hair and living the rock star life? Shocking!" -Rachel

"I couldn't believe Harry slipped on a slice of carrot cake and fractured his pelvis. I thought it was uncalled for humor in an otherwise serious and superb book." -Jamie

"I never thought the wizarding world would get their revenge on Snape; however, I commend JKR for proving me wrong. The Order using spells to hold Snape down and wash his hair multiple times was the worst kind of punishment imaginable for him." -Mandie

"So Dudley's worst memory when attacked by the Dementor was being told he had to diet." - Nick

"I still laugh every time I think about Draco and those geese. I guess it's not just sleeping dragons you're not suppose to tickle." - Natalie ----

oh, and before I forget. APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!

Youngsters Vandalize Hogwarts Express

A group of six youngsters recently caused £50,000 worth of damage to the Hogwarts Express used in the Potter films. The group members, some as young as 10, broke into the West Coast Railway depot at the former Steamtown site in Carnforth, England, and destroyed the train's windows, using its emergency hammers.

Patricia Marshall, managing director of West Coast Railway, said, "It will take at least a month to repair, because so much damage was caused." - mugglenet.com

What do you think would be a good punishment for these kids? Magical or not? (be creative)

um....My family I am going through a really hard time now... It seems like I'm fighting back tears all the time now, I can't really explain everything now but.... I don't know how much longer i can go on living like this... I keep thinking 2 more years and I'll be away in collage... But I don't know if i can leave with my sister and my mother living this was without me. I am basicly the rock of this family, so I try so hard not to cry in front of my mom and my sister. My father is just ruining us.... My mom and him had a fight tonight. It was more of my mother talking and him not saying anything. He has been lying to us for more than a year now and he still blames us for everything that he is doing wrong that is makeing our life hell. I don't know what else to do. I'm shaking right now...Please pray for him, pray that God will open his eyes. Pray for my mom, that she will have the strangth to keep fighting to keep us together, and to give her peace. Please, please pray for my sister, that this will not change her. She needs to stay just as She is. And pray for me, because i don't know what else to do. Just give it to God, because I can't do this anymore.

I HATE Rug Burns!!!!!

Ok, it happened like an hour ago. I could not sleep, at all. Have you ever been almost asleep and you get a feeling in your back that makes you think that you need to pop it? That was me. Anyway, I though I would just go in the living room and rest there untill I was about to fall asleep. While I waited my mind was wandering, like I was awake but still dreaming, basicly staring into space. Then I heard my dad outside unlocking the door. But I didn't understand the noise untill he was almost done unlocking the last lock. So I got up and ran so has and as he opened the door i sliped and fell on my knees right where the hall was. I got up like I didn't fall at all, and I don't think my dad saw me but, when i got back to my room, my left knee was really really burning. Both of my knees had rug burns but the one on my left knees was very close to bleeding. So i went to the bathroom and got some bandaids with aloe on them and put it on my knee. PAIN!!! LOTS AND LOTS OF PAIN!!!!
So I climbed up into my bed and just layed there wide awake. If you guys don't know, my bed is a bunk bed type thing, but the bottom bunk is a desk. And, I like to have my fan on high all the time, and I cant put the blanket on my legs because that would hurt my legs...... So I realized that the bandaid wasn't really aiding me at all, because it was pulling at my wound. So i took it off. I still couldn't really do anything, so i got back on the floor and tryed to sit in a chair and sleep.... I didn't like that either. So here i am with nothing to do, with no hope of falling asleep tonight.....sob....
By the way, right now it is 4:48 in the morning.....

Genius Folks

You want it, you take it." For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking twice at it. He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal. It looked to good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge for sale $50." The next day someone stole it.

--------------------

One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted...."Look at that dead bird!" Someone looked up at the sky and said... "where???"

~~~~~~~~

While looking at a house, my brother asked the real estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, "Does the sun rise in the north?" When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for sometime, she shook her head and said, "Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff."

~~~~~~~

I used to work in technical support for a 24/7 call center. One day I got a call from an individual who asked what hours the call center was open. I told him, "The number you dialed is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week." He responded, "Is that Eastern or Pacific time?" Wanting to end the call quickly, I said, "Uh, Pacific".

~~~~~~~~

My colleague and I were eating our lunch in our cafeteria, when we overheard one of the administrative assistants talking about the sunburn she got on her weekend drive to the shore. She drove down in a convertible, but, "didn't think she'd get sunburned because the car was moving."

~~~~~~~

My sister has a lifesaving tool in her car it's designed to cut through a seat belt if she gets trapped. She keeps it in the trunk...

~~~~~~~~

My friends and I were on a beer run and noticed that the cases were discounted 10%. Since it was a big party, we bought 2 cases. The cashier multiplied 2 times 10% and gave us a 20% discount.... (maybe I should have bought 10 cases)

~~~~~~~

I couldn't find my luggage at the airport baggage area. So I went to the lost luggage office and told the woman there that my bags never showed up. She smiled and told me not to worry because she was a trained professional and I was in good hands. "Now," she asked me, "has your plane arrived yet?"...

~~~~~~

While working at a pizza parlor I observed a man ordering a small pizza to go. He appeared to be alone and the cook asked him if he would like it cut into 4 pieces or 6. He thought about it for some time before responding. "Just cut it into 4 pieces; I don't think I'm hungry enough to eat 6 pieces."

2007-02-10T08:45:00.000-08:00

It was a nightmare getting here... I am soooo happy that I'm back but I am a little dissapointed because its soo COLD!!!! Anyway let me tell you what I had to go through to get to this state. We were suppost to stay in IL for 2 weeks, We were their for 3 weeks......
The first time we tryed to leave, it snowed 4 in.... All flights from Peoria to Chicago were not looking good for people on the stand by list, So we stayed another week.....
The second time we were going to leave, the day we set out to drive to the air port and fly away, it snowed 3 in... It was a diffrent kind of snow though, it was big and feathery and you couldn't see 1 foot in front of you. So we tryed for the next day. Yeah, we got to the airport, first step down!!! (clap clap clap)
Anyway we get past check out and onto the metal detectors.... For some reason this time they desided that our group that was flying(me, my mom, my sister, her 2 one year old kids) was special. So they went through ALL OF YOUR BAGS and the frisked us all down.... By this time, I wanted to go back to bed, I didn't want to deal with the airport.
So after we got all that done and we get to the gate, they tell us we only have room for 2 people that are on the stand by list. So my mom comes up with the great idea that me and bonny (found sister) would fly to Chicago with BOTH of the babies..... (Not a good Idea mom)
Anyway when the plane went up, jason fell asleep. I was kindof worried that he past out because he has a bad heart. But he woke up when we landed, Zoë was with Bonny in another seat in another row somewhere at the end of the plane.

(I know your thinking, when is this gonna end, we this is 2 days worth of bad traveling so I'm not done yet.)

Its a short flight from the Peoria to Chicago, like 25 minutes. So we get there and go to the gate to get to DFW. We get there in like 1 1/2 hours before we could check in so we got some food and something to give the babies and we sign in after waiting for an hour. We are 3rd to have signed in and we are 28 and 36 on the stand by list.... Apparently some chicago to dallas flights had been canceled earlier that day and the people that should have been on the other flights where on this one now..... Grrr Arrrgggg.........
So by this time my mom and my sister had just gotten here from peoria. I was looking like we wouldn't be able to get out of Chicago for days if we wanted to get to DFW. So we went to Albuquerque New Mexico. It was like 7 pm at this point so we stayed at the best best western in the world, woke up, went to old town, went shopping, ate, (did I mention it was like in the 70s there), got back to the best western, got our stuff, went to the air port, and GOT ON THE PLANE!!!!!! It was about time we got back. So we were back in Texas and the first thing I say when I get outside in that Texas air is, I want to go back to Albuquerque.....

Achievement - You can do anything you set your mind to when you have vision, determination, and an endless supply of expendable labor.
Adversity - That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.
Agony - Not all pain is gain.
Ambition - The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly.
Apathy - If we don't take care of the customer,maybe they'll stop bugging us.
Arrogance - The best leaders inspire by example. When that's not an option, brute intimidation works pretty well, too.
Beauty - If you're attractive enough on the outside, people will forgive you for being irritating to the core.
Bitterness - Never be afraid to share your dreams with the world, because there's nothing the world loves more than the taste of really sweet dreams.
Blame - The secret to success is knowing who to blame for your failures.
Burnout - Attitudes are contagious. Mine might kill you.
Change - It's a short trip from riding the waves of change to being torn apart by the jaws of defeat.
Change (winds) - When the winds of change blow hard enough, the most trivial of things can become deadly projectiles.
Cluelessness - There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
Compromise - Let's agree to respect each others views, no matter how wrong yours may be
Conformity - When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.
Consulting - If you're not a part of the solution,there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem.
Dare to Slack - When birds fly in the right formation, they need only exert half the effort. Even in nature, teamwork results in collective laziness.
Defeat - For every winner, there are dozens of losers. Odds are you're one of them.
Delusions - There is no greater joy than soaring high on the wings of your dreams, except maybe the joy of watching a dreamer who has nowhere to land but in the ocean of reality.
Demotivation - Sometimes the best solution to morale problems is just to fire all of the unhappy people.
Despair - It's always darkest just before it goes pitch black.
Destiny - You were meant for me. Perhaps as a punishment.
Discovery - A company that will go to the ends of the Earth for its people will find it can hire them for about 10% of the cost of Americans.
Disloyalty - There comes a time when every team must learn to make individual sacrifices.
Disservice - It takes months to find a customer, but only seconds to lose one... the good news is that we should run out of them in no time.
Do it Later - The early worm is for the birds.
Doubt - In the battle between you and the world, bet on the world.
Dreams - Dreams are like rainbows. Only idiots chase them.
Dysfunction - The only consistent feature in all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.
Effort - Hard work never killed anybody, but it is illegal in some places.
Elitism - It's lonely at the top, but it's comforting to look down upon everyone at the bottom.
Failure - When your best just isn't good enough.
Fear - Until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore, you will not know the terror of being forever lost at sea.
Flattery - If you want to get to the top, prepare to kiss a lot of the bottom.
Futility - You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and, statistically speaking, 99% of the shots you do.
Get To Work - You aren't being paid to believe in the power of your dreams.
Goals - It's best to avoid standing directly between a competitive jerk and his goals.
Hazards - There is an island of opportunity in the middle of every difficulty. Miss that, though, and you're pretty much doomed.
Humiliation - The harder you try, the dumber you look.
Idiocy - Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Ignorance - It's amazing how much easier it is for a team to work together when no one has any idea where they're going.
Incompetence - When you earnestly believe you can compensate for a lack of skill by doubling your efforts, there's no end to what you can't do.
Indifference - It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face.
Individuality - Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.
Ineptitude - If you can't learn to do something well, learn to enjoy doing it poorly.
Insanity - It's difficult to comprehend how insane some people can be. Especially when you're insane.
Inspiration - Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99% perspiration, which is why engineers sometimes smell really bad.
Intimidation - No one can make you feel inferior without your consent, but you'd be a fool to withhold that from your superiors.
Irresponsibility - No single raindrop believes it is to blame for the flood.
Laziness - Success is a journey, not a destination. So stop running.
Leaders - Leaders are like eagles. We don't have either of them here.
Limitations - Until you spread your wings, you'll have no idea how far you can walk.
Loneliness - If you find yourself struggling with loneliness, you're not alone. And yet you are alone. So very alone.
Losing - If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.
Madness - Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"
Mediocrity - It takes a lot less time and most people won't notice the difference until it's too late.
Meetings - None of us is as dumb as all of us.
Misfortune - While good fortune often eludes you, this kind never misses.
Mistakes - It could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others.
Motivation - If a pretty poster and a cute saying are all it takes to motivate you, you probably have a very easy job. The kind robots will be doing soon.
Nepotism - We promote family values here - almost as often as we promote family members.
Overconfidence - Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you.
Pessimism - Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it.
Persistence - It's over, man. Let her go.
Planning - Much work remains to be done before we can announce our total failure to make any progress.
Potential - Not everyone gets to be an astronaut when they grow up.
Power - Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. But it rocks absolutely, too.
Pressure - It can turn a lump of coal into a flawless diamond, or an average person into a perfect basketcase.
Pretension - The downside of being better than everyone else is that people tend to assume you're pretentious.
Problems - No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them
Procrastination - Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.
Quality - The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.
Regret - It hurts to admit when you make mistakes - but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second.
Retirement - Because you've given so much of yourself to the Company that you don't have anything left we can use.
Risks - If you never try anything new, you'll miss out on many of life's great disappointments.
Sacrifice - Your role may be thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who outlast you.
Sacrifice (Temple) - All we ask here is that you give us your heart.
Strife - As long as we have each other, we'll never run out of problems.
Stupidity - Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.
Success - Some people dream of success, while other people live to crush those dreams.
Teamwork - A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.
Trouble - Luck can't last a lifetime unless you die young.
Underachievement - The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower.
Wishes - When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the Earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much hosed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
Worth - Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important

"You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything.

He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own people and remembers why he is fighting."
-----------------------------------
You: "I also think the war in Iraq in a pointless conflict, and there is no way in hell for us to "win", because the fact that big bad America rolls in is not going to change the way these people think."
-----------------------------------
Me: If we haven't made and change to help their lives, we wouldn't still be there. If America would stop listening to all of these stuped negitive opinions, of the people on the news and listen to their own opinion on what is right and wrong.... we would have alot less people wearing the 'Don't support our troops' shirts. George Bush is doing what needs to be done. And if it wasn't right or wasn't working we wouldn't be having people join the army right now. While you are saying 'Bush is an incompetent dumbass', Bush is to busy to care because he is fighting this war to change peoples lives. What are you doing....
----------
If tomorrow all the things were gone I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again with just family by my side,
I'd thank my God above to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away!

And I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.
And I'd gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God bless the U.S.A.!!!!

AMEN.

Hi,

I have been to the biggest flea market in the world this weekend. It was huge and I got all my christmas shopping done!!! Its First Monday in Canton Texas. Its very near to where Shanna-Kaye and her family are moving to. We went up there thursday to a time share thing that my friend Bonny owns. It was a cabin, and it was sooo much fun. The best part of the cabin was that there was a huge bath tub with jets. It was just awsome! The whole weekend was awsome, even though it started out as not so good.
Basicly before we were going to leave, we found out that the bank spent all our money. So we decided we couldn't go, then Bonnys husband Justin called and asked if it was ok that I would go with Bonny. Just me. I kindof didn't want to because I wanted my mom to go also. I try and make sure that what ever my mom wants to do to bring her some joy in her life, I do everything in my power to make it happen. If she wants to go to a singing thats like 2 hours away, I get on her side and encoarage her to go and do it. She needs as much joy as she can get. So, I went with Bonny and we stayed the night at the cabin, Then we woke up and went to First Monday. About 2 hours into it, my mom calls and says that she is about 12 minutes away, and that katrina was with her. So she did get to go with us and it was sooo much fun.
We came back saturday night, my mom and katrina left about 2 hours before Bonny and I because katrina wasn't feeling well. We believed her because my mom and I had just gotten the same bug. Good thing we listened to her to, she threw up when she got home. Anyway, Bonny and I were walking around in The Mountain area and we saw this little shop that sold clothes but not anykind of clothes. Old clothes like 80s and older stuff. It was SOOOOO GREAT!!! I bought a brown long sleeved shirt that looked like a cowgirl or female indian would wear. I bought it and wore it Sunday and I didn't recive one complament, so it must have looked bad or something, but I don't care because I love the shirt.
Well I got to go now.
See Ya L8er.

Hi,
Last Wednesday I went to a Motley Crue and Aerosmith concert. I know what your thinking, 'WOW!!'. I know, that's what I though when I got invited. Ok, Let me tell you how it all started. Last weekend I went camping with some people from church. My friend Deondra was one of them, She was there Saturday. Anyway, I had brought my guitar so I was playing it and sometimes Deondra was playing it, and I was wearing my Aerosmith t-shirt and she told me that she and her boyfriend and his friend were going to this concert, then she said she had an extra ticket if I wanted to go. I said 'YES' of coarse..... So I went to the concert! Motley Crue came up first and they aren't really my thing so I didn't really much care for them. Then they left and we had a break. I sent a text to Reagan because I forgot to tell him I was going, becaue it all happened so fast I didn't really have time to get extremely excited like I was for Night Ranger and Styx concerts last year (my first post). So he text back and said 'awesome' and 'Don't let Steven Tyler eat you'. (weird). So Then Aerosmith came on and they were AWESOMELY GREAT, BACODULY FLAVIORABLE, ETC.... It was the best rock show I have ever been to!!! I only reconized afew of the songs. Here they are: Dream On, Baby Please Don't Go, Cryin', Draw The Line, Sweet Emotion, and Walk This Way. All in All it was amazing! Steven Tyler still had his mike stand with all of the scarves and Joe Perry is still one of the coolest guitar players ever. At the end of Walk this way after the encore, Joe Perry threw his guitar on the ground, took his shirt off, started hitting the fret board of the guitar with the shirt, put the shirt on his shoulders, put his guitar back on, ran to the drum set, layed back on it, was still playing his guitar, and the drummer finally had to push him off his drums. Man, I got to tell you Joe Perry might be as old as my grandfather, but he is still hott! Oh, and did I mention thatit was like 46 degrees plus very strong winds........ So yeah it was cold. Anyway that's all I have to say for now. I'm going to Arkansas for Thanksgiving so I don't think I will be able to post for a while. But before I go here are some pictures of the madness that was the concert that I went to. Tell me what you think.
So TTFN,

I went to Bonny and Justins house tonight because their neiborhood is the best place ever for trick-or-treating!!! I didn't go though, I had to hand out candy. (We ran out twice!) It was Jason and Zoë's first Halloween!!!! They went as Superman and SuperGirl. If Bonny is reading this, I would like you to send me the pictures from tonight that you took so I can post them here, asap.(Thanks)
I was going to not dress-up but about 10 minutes before we had to leave, I put on the pirate medallion I have and I braided me hair differently, so I decided to wear my moms Scarborough Fair costume and go as Elizabeth Swann.... Tell me what you think considering I came up with it in 10 minutes.

SAD NEWS
>>> >>Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, two children, John Dough and Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

To those of you who like Sci Fi/Horror/Ghost shows, you will LOVE the show Supernatural. Bound by tragedy and blood to a dangerous, other-worldly mission, two brothers crisscross the lonely and mysterious back roads of the country, encountering creatures that most people believe only exist in folklore, superstition and nightmares. As they fallow clues in their fathersjournal, the brothers realise that he has passed on to them all the knowledge he accumulated during the past 20 years. They take up the mantle of his crusade, and while searching for their missing father- together they hunt down every evil supernatural force they encounter along the way. I really love this show, and if you were ever a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The X-Files, Charmed, or any monster/ghost/vampire story ever, then you will love this show as well. You can see all of the episodes on this website. Or as a favor to me just watch the 1st episode please. http://www.freewebs.com/always-jensen/season1episodes.htm

Catch Supernatural Thursdays 9/8c on The CW.

Ok,
We are leaving soon, to go back to Texas. I just wanted to say something to shanna-kaye. It seems like our first thought about the drive in movie theater was right. It wasn't open. It already closed for winter, so I didn't get to see all the other old cars that should have been there. Sorry I didn't get a picture of the either(because they weren't there) so here is a picture of the car we were riding in on our way there. It's my grandmothers 61 Chevy Impala.

Hope to see you guys soon.

I am not in texas right now, I am in Abingdon, Il. It's cold here. Anyway today we went to Galesburg (or however you spell that...), because my mom wanted to say hi to one of her old friends. So, while she was doing that, I went over to the antique store. I usually don't like shoping in general. But I wanted to go in this store because, Lasttime I was there the store closed to early, (I was only on the first floor). When I went up stairs to tell my mom and my sister that the store was closeing, I saw a room full of old rock records!!!!! ;-)But I had to leave...So anyway, this was my chance to look through all of those records(for those of you who don't know me very well, I have a record player and all of my mom and dads old records.), but when I got there THEY WERE ALL GONE!!!!!!! I hate shopping.....
Well my mom wasn't ready to go yet so I walked over to the music store there, its a very good store to, but they didn't have what i was looking for, mostly because I wasn't really looking for anything. I am very happy with the 3 guitars I already have. Oh, did I fail to tell ya'll that my sister was with me? Well, my sister was with me and she had seen a pets shop accross the street from where we had parked, so she and I went over there to see if there was anything Katrina wanted to get for her new bird. well she didn't find anything so we waited for my mom by the car.(my future car!!!) The parking lot was behind all of these shops and this guy came out of the back of one of the shops and I realized that it was Eddie. One of my moms Kuk Sool Won friends. (the guy she was visiting with in the first place,Cat Garza, was also a kuk sool won friend...)Anyway I went up to him and told him who I was and that my mother was visiting Cat and so my mom and I went over to his kuk sool won school so my mom could visit with him to. That was all that I did before lunch. The rest of the day was very boring, I just thought I should post.I'll talk to you guys soon.

WARNING!!!!!! IF YOU ARE LAUREN, DON'T READ THIS POST UNTIL YOU HAVE FINISHED READING 'NEW MOON'!!!!!!!! *SPOILERS* BEWARE!!!!!!!!
-------------------------------------------------
Greetings,
It is 4:36 am on Tuesday, September 19, 2006. I have finished the second book..........!!!!!!!!!!! It was so different from the first!!!! Before these 2 books I had never really been interested in books(Harry potter doesn't count), like my moms librarian gene skipped me. But now I can't get enough. I have figured out how to get myself interested in a book (incase shanna-kaye wants to know.......... Lauren already figured it out), I have to be able to find myself in the book. Does that make any since...... It really struck a chord about how much of myself I saw in the character Bella. I don't even think my mom or Lauren has any idea. It is truly scary.
(WARNING!! IF YOU WERE SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT READING THE BOOK DON'T READ THE REST OF THIS! I REALLY WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THE BOOKS RIGHT NOW, SO I GUESS IT WASN'T A GOOD IDEA TO FINISH THE BOOK AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING!!!!)

Well, I'm not going to go into great detail about all the similarities, because, frankly, I am rarely that open.
So, The first book was all about meeting the Cullens (*EDWARD*), well let me backtrack. You see, She was going to Forks, Washington. Because her mom lived in phoenix, but got remarried and well basically Bella thought it would be better if she went to live with her dad. She goes to a new school and............ I'm sorry. I am sooooooo tired, I can barley think straight. And I really don't feel the need to explain the whole first book in detail. I don't think my fingers could take all the typing.... But, if that's what you want then either READ THE BOOK or call me. But anyway, what I really wanted to get to was the second book.
Let me just start by saying I don't cry much. I rarely cry at movies, it always catches me by surprise when it happens that way. Unlike my mother, who sometimes even cries at commercials....... Well I haven't really cried... For a book... Not like this......... I probably cried some when I was reading the Harry potter books, if I have I don't remember. But I always knew there was another book coming, so that didn't scare me as much as these books have. J.K. Roalling is a writer, but Stephenie Meyer just has something that makes you aware of all the possibilities at once......... Did I lose you? hehehe. I can hear Ryan now "Focus, ADD Children!" hehehe
Anyway, I was so shocked by the end of chapter 4, not just because of what, or why the book took this turn but, by how much I had cried. )What happened was that the author made you love characters so much and then half of them are gone, it was just........ Cold.) Edward Left Bella, that's what happened. (ADD Speaking: ugh, it's 5:10 in the morning) But since I was thinking my self as Bella, he left me.......... It was amazing, now that think about it because it hurt me soooo much. I guess I preferred a different life. Something like what Bella had with Edward, but I know that it is just a book, and not real. But I kind of want those problems. I know this isn't making much since, but (and I quote the book) 'love doesn't make since'. Ok, that was vague I know.
I think I'll stop now, before I regret being this open and this confusing. I am very interested to hear back from you guys, on if I should continue down this path about the books or if I am crazy and need a shrink or if I don't need to be saying these things on the internet at 5:26 am. Hopefully you wont chose the 2nd option, I don't need a shrink anymore. hehehe, but lets not open that can of worms either, shall we. I think I have done enough damage for my life time. (or at lease the rest of this week.)

DARTH BLUEJAY
(p.s. I forgot to tell you what the books are called, I just assumed you could read my mind...hehehe (inside joke). The first book is called'Twilight', the second book is called 'New Moon'. )

This post is for Lauren.
She gave me a book to read about a week ago, and that's all she said about so I just left it in the car with out looking at it twice. I am not a book reader, so if you want me to read a book you have to get me hooked on it first. But since she didn't want to tell me anything about it, I didn't bother reading it. When I saw her Sunday and Wednesday, she wanted to know if I had read the book, I said no, she said she was disappointed, bla bla bla..... Anyway she made me go out to the car where I hadn't moved it (She is a very good guesser), and she made me read the back...
It said:

"About three things I was absolutely positive.

First, Edward was a vampire.

Second, There was a part of him - and I didn't know how dominant that part might be - that thirsted for my blood.

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."

The book had me at 'was a vampire'. (Lauren is telling me now to put 'I was wrong, Lauren was right...) The book is called 'Twilight' by Stephenie Meyer, anyway its basically a teen, romance, vampire book. AND I LOVE EVERY WORD OF IT!!
When I got home yesterday I finished the movie Timeline, with the sense that I should be reading that book, but I still didn't really want to because, as I said before, I am not a book person. Well it was about 1:26 am and I wasn't really tired (or that's what I was telling myself), so I started on the first chapter kind of excited about the vampire thing but not about the whole book reading thing.
But I turned off my light and turned on the blue rope lights I had hanging from my ceiling, so that my parents would think I was asleep. I loved the book right away, mostly because I kind of identified with 'Bella' (the main character), in more ways than one.
I think that what you have to do to fully enjoy a book, you know imagined it, like you have to be in the story to picture it. Or at least that's what I have to do. But anyway I stayed up all night and took and small 2 hour nap in the after noon, but you could round up the hour I spent on that book to about 14 hours, I just finished.
Well anyway to the point which is that this email is for Lauren, I was looking around to see if there was a second book (There is YAY!!!), and I found out that they want to make a movie!!!!! I think that is soooooooo cool! Because when I first started reading Twilight, I couldn't think of anyone who would be good enough to be Edward through my eyes. Then I thought about Stuart Townsend. But I decided the more I read the book that he wasn't right. But anyway, on the authors web site she gave a list on who she thinks should play who. I was on the phone with Lauren so she didn't see any of the pictures so I want to post them her for her.
You can ignore this post if you want to. (I guess its a little late to say that.)

So, here are my favorite actors and actresses for the cast of Twilight:

Edward: Indisputably the most difficult character to cast, Edward is also the one that I'm most passionately decided upon. The only actor I've ever seen who I think could come close to pulling off Edward Cullen is....(drumroll)....

Henry Cavill
(Annie speaking: I don't like nim for the role.)
(Henry was Albert, the young son in The Count of Monte Cristo.)Can you see it? I know I can!

Bella: My narrator is actually surprisingly easy. there are several people that I think could do a decent job with Bella, Ellen Page and Danielle Panabaker among others. Right now my favorite choice is Emily Browning, of Lemony Snicket's fame:
(Annie speaking: I don't like her for the role.)

Though I would be happy with several possibilities for Bella, I will throw myself off a tall building if they cast some lip synching, popstar-slash-actress in the role. Just FYI.

Carlisle: Second only to Edward on my "passionately decided" list is Carlisle's character. My favorite: Charlie Hunnam. The reason this actor was able to get such a hold on me was his work as the title character in Nicholas Nickleby. He pretty much was Carlisle in that movie.
Charlie: There are tiers to the Charlie wish list. At the very top is John C. Reilly, the Oscar winner. Yeah, not likely, I know. But he would be so perfect:
(Annie Speaking: Not really what I pictured. lauren and I thought of Harrison Ford)

Other options include Vince Vaughn (give it a minute...picture him with a few extra pounds and a receding hair line...can you see it?) and a more likely chance would be Adam LeFevre (I know him as Damon Bradley in Only You).

Alice: The only actress that springs immediately to mind is Rachel Leigh Cook.
(Annie Speaking: I totally agree.)

James: Ah, James! This is one of the most fun to cast. I started out leaning toward Joshua Jackson, who could do a fantastic job (and I still love you, Joshua!), but then I saw Cillian Murphy in Batman Begins. Cillian Murphy!!!

(Annie Speaking: Lauren loves this choice.)

This is the point at which my opinions become less urgent. I'm still up in the air about the rest of them. I did see one actor who caught my eye for an Emmett-type...

Emmett: Daniel Cudmore, X-Men's Colossus.

Rosalie: I didn't find an actress that looked like Rosalie to me, but I did find a model...Joanna Krupa. And hey, don't all models want to be actresses?

Laurent: Do you think John Stamos would mind doing a cameo? And Graham Greene seems like a natural for Billy, if Billy's character makes it into the movie...

Thank you everyone for your suggestions about who you would like to see in Twilight! Here are some of your suggestions-the most popular, and the ones that I liked the best:
(Annie Speaking: The stars will be my rating.1 to 5)
Most Popular Edward Suggestions: (in order or popularity)

Hayden Christensen ***** (Annie Speaking: Hes got my vote!)
Robert Pattison ***
Orlando Bloom **** (Annie Speaking: Close, very close. He is to old though)
Gerard Way ** (Annie Speaking: To goth/weird/feminine...)

My Favorite Edward Suggestions:(based on looks alone, rather than acting ability, which is much more important, really. Isn't it wonderful that Henry Cavill can act?)

Mike Vogel **** (Annie Speaking: Blond, his only flaw...)
Drew Fuller ***
Hugh Dancy ***
Jackson Rathbone *

Most Popular Bella Suggestions:

Alexis Bledel* (Annie Speaking: NO)
Rachel McAdams *
Anna Paquin ***
My Favorite Bella Suggestion:
Danielle Panabaker ***** (Annie Speaking: She could do it)

Already on my personal list. she was great in Sky High

Most Popular Jasper Suggestions:

Shawn Ashmore **
Ian Somerhalder ****
(Annie Speaking: Lauren said she thought Reagan would be good in this role)
My Favorite Jasper Suggestions:

Trent Ford ***

Calum Best **

My Favorite Charlie Suggestion:
Dennis Quaid ***

My Favorite Rosalie Suggestion:
Olivia Wilde ***

My Favorite Esme Suggestions:
Mary-Louise Parker ****

And finally, I found my favorite Jacob Black, though he's a New Moon - aged Jacob (which means he'd be way, way too old to ever play Jacob if they ever made New Moon into a movie. Sigh. This is sort of what Jacob looks like in my head, though.)
Steven Strait ***** (Annie Speaking: I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!)

I hope you all enjoyed that as mush as I (and I suspect Lauren) have.

Till next time (or at least the next book)
Goodbye
(Be Safe)

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor.
It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this.. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing.... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!

Tragic Loss of Steve Irwin, 44

Steve Irwin, the Australian television personality and conservationist known as the "Crocodile Hunter," was killed Monday by a stingray while filming off the Great Barrier Reef. He was 44.
Irwin was at Batt Reef, off the remote coast of northeastern Queensland state, shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when he swam too close to one of the stingrays, which have a poisonous barb on their tails, said his colleague, John Stainton.
"He came on top of the stingray and the stingray's barb went up and into his chest and put a hole into his heart," said Stainton, who was on board Irwin's boat at the time.
Crew members aboard the boat, Croc One, called emergency services in the nearest city, Cairns, and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation as they rushed Irwin to nearby Low Isle to meet a rescue helicopter. Medical workers pronounced Irwin dead when they arrived a short time later.

Irwin, who was was born in Victoria in 1962, inherited his love of reptiles from his father.His father Bob was a keen reptile enthusiast and moved the family to Queensland in 1970 to open a small reptile park on the Sunshine Coast. Irwin took over the family business in 1991 and grew it into Australia Zoo. In 1992 he ventured into television, making the first series of the Crocodile Hunter. When the program aired in the United States, he shot to international fame. Irwin is survived by his wife Terri, daughter Bindi Sue (8) and son Bob (2).

Steve Irwin is the best-known wildlife crusader in the world today. As the Crocodile Hunter, Steve has become a household name and his television adventures are seen by more than 200 million viewers in 120 countries around the globe. He's starred in his first movie for the big screen, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, and has also appeared on such popular television talk shows as Regis and Kelly, Conan O'Brien, The Tonight Show, Larry King Live and Oprah.

Well,
I called John again and talk to him about what kind of guitarist they needed, What was his reason to start a band, What kind of music they played, etc...... Well it just wasn't what i was looking for. His reason for starting a band was the fame and fortune, and that he wanted to be the only successful person in his family. That's not why I want to get in to music.I mean it's not a bad thing to get money and stuff but I think it should be about the music. (I know it sounds lame....) But it's true. From what i can tell Rock is dead. All of the punk and goth and emo stuff that bands are playing today is not rock..... It's too morbid and just depressing. When was the last time we heard a song about Rock and Roll.
1989- You Can Still Rock In America- Night Ranger
1981- And The Cradle Will Rock... - Van Halen
1992- God Gave Rock And Roll To You- Kiss
1997- I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night- Kiss
1983- Rock of Ages- Def Leppard
1991- We Will Rock You- Queen
1981- I Love Rock and Roll- Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
I have to say, not in a long while. That is what I want to do with my music. Bring back the rock and roll.

Hi,
Lauren was telling me wednesday about all of these cute guys at her school, and one of them was a drummer, thats all I remeber about that. But anyway, I got a call about 10-ish. (I was still asleep!) My phone rang like it was a wrong number so I let it go, then 5 min. later it rang again. So I picked it up and said
'Hello'. The other voice said
'Hi, This is John.'
Me:'I think you have the wrong number'
John: 'Is this Annie?'
Me: 'Yes'
John: 'Then I don't have the wrong number'
Me: 'um... How do I know you?'
John: 'I go to school with lauren.'
Me: 'oh'
John: 'She said you are an excellent guitar player, I am starting a band called Hymns of Chaos. If you wanted to try out we are haveing auditions tomorrow. It's at the drummers house. (I forgot his name) '
Me: 'Well I have only been playing for a year and i'm not great yet...'
John: 'Lauren told me you were a great guitar player'
Me: 'Lauren doesn't play guitar, and I don't think I'm ready to be in a band right now.'
John: 'Well if you change your mind, call me.'
Me: 'Ok'

(later I checked my phone and lauren sent me a text message saying that she got me a band....) Well, That is why i have to kill lauren.

Hi,
First I have a surprise for my mom. So if you aren't my mom, don't read this or look at the picture below. Unless you like Phantom of the Opera or the band Kiss.

"I can't belive this mom!! I can't belive we missed it..... It's so crazy but I bet it was amazing! "

Who do you think is Paul Stanley in the next picture.

Is it the Alien, Demon, Cat, or Star?
Give me your answer and we'll see what you won....

This is the real post. You guys are going to love this...... yes..... It's another list..........

YOU MIGHT BE A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF CHRIST IF ...

• If you know exactly what song I'm talking about when I ask you to turn to number 728b.
• If you could recite all the books of the Bible before you could even read them.
• If you think your chosen pew is "sacred" and no one else should sit in your spot.
• If you actually know what a "ready recollection" is and have been thoroughly "guide-guard-and-directed" all your life. (If you're really a member, you know that "guide-guard-and-directed" must be followed by "and-bring-us-back-at-the-next-appointed-time.")
• If you think "progressive" refers to those in the church who want a sound system and PowerPoint
• If you can actually read shape notes.
• If you think the Bible questions on Jeopardy are way too easy.
• If you decide which Bible translation to use based on how Acts 2:38 reads.
• If you immediately reach for your wallet when you hear the phrase, "Now, separate and apart from the Lord's Supper … "
• If you know all the words to all the verses of Trust and Obey.
• If you've ever carried your Bible in an empty casserole dish.
• If you've ever heard a rambunctious young child yell "Pray for me! Pray for me!" as his mother whisked him down the aisle to the foyer.
• If you've ever wondered who Ebon Pinion was
• If you've ever prayed for those "who are sick of this congregation."
• If you've never been to a church that wasn't named after the street it was on.
• If you've been to a wedding or a funeral where "the invitation" was offered.
• If you've stood for 13 verses of Just As I Am with the last stanza sung softly.

I thought you people would enjoy that.

Ok,
I felt bad for the guy that reads this site sometimes so I thought I would try to help out his gender so us girls could know THE GUYS' RULES.

The Guys' Rules*******************
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)

These are our rules! Please note.. these are all numbered "1" ON PURPOSE!

1. Men are NOT mind readers.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
1. Crying is blackmail.
1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.
1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.
1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.
1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.
1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one
1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.
1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.
1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.
1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.
1. If it itches, it will be scratched. We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.
1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear. 1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.Really.
1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as CARS, the shotgun formation, or BASKETBALL.
1. You have enough clothes.
1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!
1. Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight.

I got this list from a guy on pleonast.com

I got some prayer requests for you guys, so listen up.

1. Please pray for Reagan's grandmother. I don't know if reagan would want me to tell ya'll what's wrong so just please pray for her. And pray for Reagan also, he is very confused right now so he needs our prayers whether he knows it or not.
2. Jason is still in the hospital but the medicine their giving him is working so give praise for that. if you guys don't know whats wrong then, Jason has an enlarged heart and it is causing a failer to thrive thing so please keep him in your prayers.
3. My dad. please pray for him. if you don't know whats wrong then you'll just have to wonder because I don't want to cry right now. i'm sick of it.....
4. The last thing is Shanna-kaye is in Washinton D.C. and lauren is in Chicago. Pray for a safe journey home for them. I have talked to both of them recently and Shanna-kaye just went to a beach which she hasn't done in ten years, so she had a good time with that and Lauren was going to see a musical called 'Wicked'. Some of you may have heard of that before, I haven't talked to her today I just know she was going to do that today.
That's about it for now. If you know of anyone else that needs prayers then please let me know.

DARTH BLUEJAY

(p.s. Oh, I almost forgot. Please pray for Mr. Fabulous. He needs all the help he can get.)

Reagan tried to make rules awhile ago and failed. So here are some rules that hopefuly he can understand.

The Female Rules

1. The Female always makes THE RULES.
2. THE RULES are subject to change without notice.
3. No Male can possibly know all THE RULES.
4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all THE RULES, she must immediately change some of THE RULES.
5. The Female is never wrong.
6. If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said wrong.
7. If Rule #6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding.
8. The Female can change her mind at any time.
9. The Male must never change his mind without the express written consent of The Female.
10. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time.
11. The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset.
12. The Female must, under no circumstances, let the Male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset.
13. The Male is expected to read the mind of the Female at all times.
14. At all times, what is important is what the Female meant, not what she said.
15. If the Male doesn't abide by THE RULES, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks backbone, and is a wimp.
16. If the Female has PMS, all THE RULES are null and void and the Male must cater to her every whim.
17. If the Male, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to Rule #5.

Ok,
I have been watching a show called Criss Angel Mindfreak. Criss Angel is a Mindfreak in every sense on the word. (Mindfreak- n 1: a modern day mystifier who utilizes skills beyond the category of magic. 2: the result of something incomprehensible.)
'Criss is not only known for his astonishing magic and good looks. He is also accomplished at the feat of escaping death! Some say he's crazy, some say he has a death wish. That's not the case. Criss tries to push his own limits not only for the sake of art and entertainment, and not only for his personal record. But to help prove that anything is possible with a little hard work and the right mindset. Criss and his master team of professional creates death defying escapes and demostrations that are a true representation that when the Mind, Body and Spirit work together anything is possible!!' - http://www.angelofillusion.net/

Criss has done many amazing things like....
The bed of nails... a long-lived standard in the world of magic. Normally performed on eight inch long roofing nails spaced a maximum of one and a half inches apart, this classic favorite gets an extreme update when Criss Angel takes on the stunt. The space between the nails was doubled to three inches. As if that weren't enough, the Criss version incorporated a 4.5 ton Hummer, which drove on top of his body as he lay on top of what might be his death bed.

Here are some videos that will show you how weird he really is.....

Butterfly Trick
Coin Trick
Shadow Trick
Building Float
Criss vs. Car
Gross Coin Trick
Wood Chipper Illusion
Puddle Magic Trick
Freesbee Trick
Interactive Experiment (4th video on the page)

Can you explain any of these stunts? Please tell me what you think.

Ok,
2 days ago I went to Six Flags with Lauren and Katrina and some people from Vista Ridge. I rode on The Superman, Mr. Freeze, and Shockwave for the first time, now I know what Reagan's going to say...... "Why didn't you go it when I was there also?" Well let me just say Preacher pressure is alot worse than peer pressure..... Lauren also went on Mr. Freeze and Katrina went on the Batman. Anyway the youth group people from Vista Ridge were really fun to hang out with. See.....

From left to right it's: Michael, Andrew, The Green Lantern, Jordan, The Flash, Joe, Batman, Wonder Woman, Robin.

What do ya think........

It's my mom's B-Day today! She is 51! Last year we gave her a surprise party and invited some of her freinds from Coppell and Northwest and some of her family. Her Brother John and his family came down from Arkansas and her found brother came her from New Mexico. Bonny made a big cake with Dragons on it, with 50 candles! We had to sing Happy Birthday about six times before she could blow them out. Today she said she didn't need anything big this year, just to go to the Singing School was good for her B-day, Mother's Day, Christmas......... That didn't work for Mother's Day though. I took her to see a movie (The Pink Panther). So you guys need to call her today. Ok?

Ok, this information is for the girls who read this blog. I have just found the HOTTEST GUY EVER!!!!!!! Yes, even better than Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp, David Desrosiers, Jeremy Sumpter, Drake Bell, Daniel Raddcliffe, Tommy Shaw, Heath Ledger, David Boreanaz, Zac Efron, Corbin Bleu, Ben Jelen, just every one.... His name is (Drum role please) Rik Young! The first time I saw him was on the second to last episode of Charmed ever. He played a demon, and in his next movie role he will play a demon again. He will be in a movie called Voodoo Moon, it will be out in June.
"Voodoo Moon" takes place in the mid-west United States, where a demonic figure (Rik Young) murders the entire population of a small town, save for one young boy and his sister. Twenty years later, the boy (Eric Mabius) has been consumed with trying to track the devil down and now he thinks he's found him. His sister (Charisma Carpenter) is now an artist who has developed psychic abilities which enable her to sense disaster, visions she expresses in her art. The two siblings work together in fighting the devil, and also get the assistance of several people they have helped over the years.
I soooooo want to see this. Tell me what ya'll think.
