entry 21 December 22

I don't have a pic for my dream house, bit I will describe it to you. It will be a three story mansion with an indoor pool, weight room, If i want to workout some time =), and maybe a arcade room. It will have a huge kitchen with a massive living room that has a fire place. I will also have a patio that looks over some mountains or somewhere peaceful. I most likely won't have anything like that but I'm sure that me my wife and my children will be happy with a medium sized house.

Entry 20 Dec. 17

I'm am a little slow today. A lot of things have been going on and I have been busy. I have a lot of test to study for before brake and I'm sure that I will have a project due over break. I don't like it when I have a lot of stuff to do for homework because I don't really like to do it that much. I only have two B's because I am being lazy in band and choir; not coming to the lesson. I am really looking forward to the break coming up because I need one. I don't understand why the break doesn't start on friday. I really want it to come. Even though I don't get the presents I did when I was younger I still have a heck of a time with Christmas.

Entry 19 Dec. 15

I'm excited for the break to come. I am planning to work for my dad doing farm work. My little brother's b-day was Dec. 13 and he got an x-box. He's been doing nothing but play on it since he got it. He also got a lot of $$$$$. I'm glad he got an x-box because now I can get him a game for christmas. My family is really low on money because of this stupid economy, but I'm going to get every one a present. Christmas is my favorite time of year, because it's a day were are whole family comes over and has fun. That doesn't happen that much lately because they are all busy all the time. I wish that I can get all A's but I get like one B- that screws it all up. =)

entry 18 Dec. 1

My thanksgiving break was not good at all. I worked the whole time. I hardly got my homework finished. I had to clean up our house for the people that came over, and that was a lot harder than it sounds. Our house was so dirty it took me two days to clean up. I found things that had been missing for months and I was proud of myself. My dad, little brother, and me rearanged some stuff and on top of all that we had to butch our home grown turkeys, and holy crap it took us two hours to clean one bird. The heaviest bird we had after we killed, plucked, gutted, and took the neck out it weighed forty-five pounds, no joke. The smallest bird weight thirty- two pounds. We had one heck of a thanksgiving. I was happy.

entry 17 Nov. 3

I'm really excited for this weekend because last weekend I worked nonstop. I didn't even get to celebrate Halloween. I was so sad, but at least my great grandpa is out of the hospital and felling much better. He is all moved into his new assistant living place/retirement home and i really hope he likes it. My dad, little brother, and I were busting our butts trying to get all his stuff moved in three days. Plus the drive there and back. Holy crap, it's at least a 12 hr drive and even LONGER in a truck. We had to take the truck back because my grandma wanted some stuff, but so did we. thats all i got. by by, lol

entry 15 Oct. 27

I don't think this party is fair. As long as you save a treat for me I'll be fine. =) just kidding, I hope you guys have fun. My life has gotten really depressing. I sprained my hand in band which was the one place I thought I'd be safe. Than my great grandpa had a stroke so now I have to go down and help him move into a retirement home till he gets back on his feet. Thats what I'm going to leave school for, and above all that. My cat, Rocky, is very sick. He was poisoned by the Orkin guy/ bug killer, and we may have to put him down. =-(

Above is a link to a very scary costume

I think this costume almost made me fart like dylan did today. This guy, I have no doubt, won the best costume award in whatever town he was in. I want to be this for Halloween. I don't really go trick or treating anymore. I just stay at my sisters and scare little kids.

Entry 12 Oct. 8

Holly poop Noah's blog was funny, but wired. I have been really stressed out in school this past week. In band we have been learning really complicated stuff, and the most of the drills, or moves we do are weird. Everything is different and it is frustrating. Also in Choir we have a lot of complicated music. Shara White cried today because she was so frustrated, because she didn't know her solo. It was sad, and I felt sorry for her. I wish I could have gotten a solo. I hope to be playing in the upcoming variety show. I am singing "Ring of fire" by Johnny Cash. YAY! I excited.

entry 11 Oct. 6

Well, I am kind of sad right now. You know how I told you that the play is in the middle of the gym. It is no longer there, it is on the stage now. We are making it work though. The play that the Drama Department /Students in drama are writing is coming along great. We are done with the script and are now rehearsing it. When we are all done with the performance we are going to get the the play, "Dear Ulga" published. I'm really excited to be in this play. I think It will make all of CC laugh, and who knows, maybe if it gets published the world will get to see it. Well maybe not the world but I think Iowa might. I love it and I'm real happy the way It turned out.

Oct. 1 Entry 10

Homecoming-

Homecoming is not all I thought It would be but it's still fun. I am kind of sad that every year the dress- up things are always the same. I mean carrier day is weird or I should say boring. I guess my opinion doesn't matter though since I don't dress up besides spirit day. I am really excited for the homecoming dance even though I don't have a date. I asked three people, but two of them rejected me and the other one had a date. I'm still going cause I think It will be fun. I think it will be a lot more fun without a date because I can dance with other people if I wanted to and go out to eat with my friends. I think we might be going to Carlos O' Kelly's or something like that. It will be fun.

Sept. 29 entry 9

I have had a lot of depressing things in my life, but I still fine happiness somewhere. My most depressing moment at my house is when my dog died. She was a german shepherd and she was very playful. Her name was ginger, and she lived to be 107 years old in doggy years, thats about fifteen in our years. When I was still living at our old house in Cedar Rapids ginger would always play with us when we got home from school. Even the night she died she still would be happy when we came around. I miss her a lot.

Sept. 24 Entry 8

WOW, I has been a really tiring week for me. I have to be at least an hr. early to school each week because of Marching Band. The marching band has to meet every, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but because I am a percussionist/drummer I have to be early every day for drum line rehearsal. Marching band is fun but it is very hard. On top of marching band I have play rehearsal every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Those go from 7:00- 9:00 PM. All the stuff I have is tiring but I am still stupid enough to do more stuff like help at the blood drive that was on the 23rd. I got home about 8:00 that night. Even though I was tired I still help save the lives of 192 people.

Sept. 22 Entry 7

I can't believe that it's almost midterm already, this year is going by really fast for me and i think I'm doing well in High School. There are a lot of things that are different, but I've gotten used to them pretty fast. I am happy that I don't have to switch my schedule every week like I did in middle school. I hate that I have a lot more homework than I'm used to but I still like writing/ typing things. I like to wright little stories sometimes and I like to read Mystery or suspense books. Right now I'm on a series that I am really into called Cirque du Freak. It's about this little boy who was taken to a freak show and he saw an act that was a vampire so he went to him at the end of the show and he wanted to be turned so the vampire, Mr. Creapsly, turned him and helped him fake his own death. Now Darren, the boy, is Mr. Creapsly's assistant. I like this book because it has a lot of suspense.

Sept. 17 Entry 6

I have had some embarrassing moments in my life. The most embarrassing moment in my life is when I was at WalMart. It was when I was about five years old, I was pushing a very full cart around with my family. It was very hard to push and when I went to turn the corner at the lane eight. I bumped into a huge stack of sirup. I barely hit one little bottle and the whole thing came crashing down. My dad said that I looked like a tomato when we walked away because I was so red. The last thing I heard when we left WalMart was "Clean-up In lane eight"!

Sept. 15 Entry 5

Every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I have play rehearsal. It is 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM. This year the CC Drama Department is doing three one at plays. I am in two of them, The first on I am in is "Dinner With Macguffins" a play boy that is seeing people in his house, the audience, No one else in his family can see them but he is fixed of proving it to them, witch gets him in a little trouble. I am the Father, Dwight, In that play, and the boy is Skyler M. and he actually makes out with a Jr. - Hint Hint-.

The second play I am in is " Dear Ulga". Everyone pitched ing to write this play and it is extremely funny. I play a football jock named Warren and I am the only one who has to "kiss" someone. It is a really fun play.

There are three plays in all and the one I didn't mention is called " Check please" A man and a woman going on a lot of blind dates. It is very funny.

Sept. 11 Entry 4

I was very shocked when I herd that the twin towers had fallen because of a plain crash. I can't really remember that day, but I remember hearing about that night on the news. It kind of slips my mind throughout the year but when it comes back to 9/11 I am always sad. I keep thinking about all those people that died and all that weren't found. I feel really sorry for the families of all those people. I think they dread this day all year, and I can't even picture them on the day it happened.

When I was twelve years old I saw a movie about it and I actually cried during it because It looked so bad and sad, plus they showed how many people were in the building and they show how many were found. I just want to say that I am sorry for all the people of 9/11.

Entry 3 Sept. 9

My normal work around the farm is very easy most of the time. I feed and water our cow, Burger, and also feed & water the chickens and turkeys. Our cow is getting pretty big and he drinks a lot of water. I have to fill up his 40 gallon water bucket every day witch gets really tiring. I have lately found a lot of spiders crawling around everywhere and it is kind of scary because I have always been afraid of them. I am getting less and less afraid of them as I get older but the more I see the more I get scared. I have also other fears like ridding roller coasters that go upside down, but I am able to ride really fast high ones. I have never really understood why, but they don't really scar me as bad.

Sept. 3 Entry 2

My house has three stories, a basement, middle, and an upstairs. My room is not that big and is upstairs. It has a really ugly paint in in that is green and I think that it should be painted. My room has a really big TV and it has a bass and surround sound. It is a very load machine. I think it’s awesome but it doesn’t get any reseption so i can watch cable or anything like that.

Sept. 2 Entry 1

This years flood was my most dramatic thing that ever happened at my years hear. I felt really sorry for the elementary kids, so I helped clean up. I started the day after the flood hit because I could not get a ride home the first day. I went the second day with my family. We all helped disinfect the school and retile the ceilings. We retiled Mr. Wise and the old gym plus a few elementary rooms.
