No, I'm not dead

I've been pretty lazy, but here's another post about my life. I'm actually doing stuff! Well, last Monday I played some basketball with friends. Fun as always. Tuesday I went to a water park with a friend. Unfortunately it was 10 year old kids in church group day, but my friend and I managed to go on plenty of rides. The best was a new one they had, because we nearly died on it the 3 times we went on it. My friend weighs about 170-180, it's mostly muscle. Keep that in mind. On the ride, you get into a big tube with 4 seats. We sat across from each other all 3 times, and each time, he was the one that went on the ride backwards. The people that push you on the ride had him go backwards each time, maybe by luck or design. Anywho, you go through a big tube, and you slowly pick up a little speed. Then you come out the tube on a nearly vertical drop of about 20 feet. No matter where you're sitting, you feel like you're about to fly out of the tube. On the last time we went on the ride, we could feel that we weren't totally on the slide when we went down, so we definitely could have fallen out and hurt ourselves. After the drop, you're in a big funnel that's at an angle. The momentum from the drop brings you up the side of the funnel. We went so high up the last time, we thought we'd fall out. We went higher than the other times, so we knew how close we were to falling out. My friend actually stood up when we got up high on the funnel. So that was that day.

Last Wednesday, I did work. A guy from our church needed help repairing his house from hurricane damage last year. He and his wife had moved out for a while, and are back now to do repairs. I've helped with roofing (putting in metal shingles shaped like terra cotta roof tiles, a pain to put in), installing double doors in his house, taking out the sliding glass door and doors that were there before, lawn maintainance for a client of his, taking out drywall, which was fun, and more roofing. I should be doing more of this next week too. I've had a few days last week and this past week to take a break from work.

Wednesday was fun, yet stupid. My friend had a Slip and Slide. We attached 2 tarps in front of it, and put water and dish soap on them, to make them slippery. We spent hours throwing football and making diving catches, tackling a 6 foot flotation thing and sliding on it, trying to jump on it and slide, that sort of thing. The problem is that running at full speed and jumping onto your chest and sliding on it about 100 times in a day causes your ribs and your stomach to hurt the next few days. Sneezing is a really painful and bad idea for me. So is moving. I actually had to do some roofing the next day, and boy was that not fun. My knees were scraped, and I had to wear knee pads and kneel down a lot to put the shingles in. Not fun.

Camp is getting really close, I can't wait. This year, even though I won't be a camper for my first time, should still be awesome. I'll make a lot of new friends who are older than me. Yay!

Men everywhere, listen up!

I have discovered the four best ways to get the ladies. First, you have to chew gum or have breath mints in your mouth all the time. Women will be attracted to you when they smell how cool and refreshing your breath is! Secondly, you have to drive a cool car. You know you've found the right woman when she respects you for your car, and not your body. Thirdly, you have to have a cool six pack of beer with you everywhere you go. Whether it's at the office, in an elevator, or at the beach, women are always looking for a guy with beer. Now if these things don't work, then you'll have to go for the coup de grace. Apply Axe and/or Tag body spray to yourself, and you'll have women and their mothers literally fighting over you. This is so much easier than the old days, where you had to be nice to a girl, and say or do things to get her attention. You wanna know how I know that I'm right? There are commercials on tv that prove it. It would be blatant false advertising to have a woman swarm all over a guy with Axe or Tag body spray if that wasn't what really happened. What type of woman would be a part of a commercial like that? Well everyone, when you see me next time, I'll have women flocking all over me, and you'll know why.

Disclaimer disclaimer: The last sentence in the disclaimer was not meant to be taken literally. No, I'm not doing awesome with the ladies, but what I wrote made me look like I needed serious help. If you feel obligated to offer advice, I won't stop you, but don't do it out of pity, please. Thank you.

Here I come to save the day!

I've returned from about 2 weeks of not being here. Let me update you on my life, that's what you're here for! Last week I threw football with my dad for a while. I was out-throwing him for a while, which was good, since he usually has a few feet on me. Monday was the season finale of 24 and CSI Miami. 24 has to be one of the best shows ever made. The plot twists and the acting, it's so great. Tuesday I went to the beach with friends. Wednesday was season finale of Lost. Thursday and Friday weren't that exciting. I think I got my hair cut that Friday. Saturday Sharon Jablonski and her family were down, which was cool. Monday I went to the beach with friends, then to a friend's house and hung out in their pool. The rest of the week was rain. I watched some tennis and the Spelling Bee. Yes, the Spelling Bee. It's amusing at times with the words they have. I've also been reading the articles in the new Living Church News. I like the topics of the articles, they're different than normal, and I'm not just referring to the one about the Wisconsin shooting.

My mind is still coming up with songs, which is quite annoying. They're pretty good songs, to me at least, so I don't want to forget them. It's just that until I can put the song on paper or record it, it'll both me constantly. Thankfully Summer showed me a place where I can download a program to make music. That should come in handy.

You know what's annoying? Coming up with something profound to talk about on here, and then forgetting about it when you post on here. Hopefully I'll remember next time. What a pain. Anyways, that's all I've got. No more, no less.
