Dodge Ball

Today at 3:15 the third annual dodge ball tournament will be held by Student Council. I'm excited about this and hopefully my team can win. I love dodge ball so this is going to be a lot of fun. My team consists of Shane Wellman, my brother Alex, Amanda Erhrardt, Lindsey Patrick, and myself. Not an extremely solid team, but Shane, Alex, an myself should hold it down.

Rock

Why do I listen rock? Well no matter what mood I'm in, I can relate to the music. I love rock. When I'm upset, sad, mad, happy I throw in some rock and I feel like the music expresses who I am and how I feel. It doesn't matter what kind of rock usually. It could be punk, screamo, grunge, metal, hard core, classic, 80's any kind works.

The Car

What would we do in today's society without cars. There is no way that some people could keep the jobs that they have. With out this quick means of transportation, it would take hours to walk in what would take minutes for a car. So thank God for the model T.

Invincibility

If I could be a superhero it would be sweet. I've always been a huge fan of superheros, and to be one would be sweet. My name would be Big Sexy, and I would be invincible. To have the power to never be hurt would be awesome. I could help in so many situations, like burning buildings. I would definately use this for good, because thats just the way I am.

Summer

This summer I plan on doing a lot of things, what I actually do is a whole nother story. I have been asked to go over to Ethiopia and help set up an orphanage. That will be fairly expensive so i don't know about that. I am also going to work. I have applied at John Wood and I am going to apply at the Quincy Park District. I need money for college, so whatever I make is going to savings. We will probably take a family vacation as well. Usually we go to Florida, but i am going to try and talk them in to something else.

Crazy Love

The best book that I have ever read is the book I just finished this weekend. This book is by Francis Chan and really takes a hard look at Christianity. Reading this book really opened my eyes and showed me that I'm not really in love with God. I was more of a lukewarm Christian. In this book Francis talks about lukewarm Christan's, and who utterly disgusted God is by that. In Revelations it says God would rather us be cold or hot, because if we are lukewarm he spits us out of his mouth. This book changed my life and I'm no longer a lukewarm christian.

Back to August

To go back and change one thing from this year would be great. I would go back to a little bit before school so i could play football. This year i didn't play because of the injury to my shoulder I received in a wreck i got in. I missed football more than anything this year. Its such a fast pace exciting game. I love to run, to hit, and to throw.

Weekend

My weekend was pretty sweet. The homecoming game on Friday was an amazing game. It was close the entire, and in the last quarter our crowd really came alive and made that gym loud. I was the Indian and it was a blast. I did my best to get people up. After the game we stayed at the school and decorated all night. that wasn't to bad. Around 2 AM we played hide and seek in the school. that was a blast. Saturday night we dressed like pirates and went to TGIF. We got a lot of stares and questions, even some pictures. The dance was OK i guess, too much standing. Over all i had a pretty good weekend.

Homecoming game

Tonight is the night, homecoming against Liberty. It promises to be a thriller. Every year we play Liberty it always comes down to the wire. Las year we played at there homecoming and they just inched by us. Well this year hopes are high for Payson. Liberty is on a hot streak, but I know we have what it takes to take Liberty down. You better be there. Tonight at 6, be there.

Vacation

My family and I went to Florida this summer. It was such a great experience. We had a condo that was right on the beach, it was really nice. We spent all week right on the beach just swimming, throwing the baseball around, playing Frisbee, football in the ocean, walking up the beach and checking out the girls, and my favorite just relaxing. One day we went to a go-cart track, that was pretty fun too. We went out to eat at this place called Fud Puckers, don't get that switched around, and it was really good. They had an alligator pit, and it was set up really cool.

Homecoming

Homecoming week is usually a great week at Payson Seymour High School. We decorate all week long as a class and its just a really great time to bond and come together as a class. The game is always a great time, but i don't think this years will beat last years upset over Southeastern. The dance could be better, but it has gotten better each year since my freahmen year. therefore I am excited about this dance. After the dance we go chill at someones house and watch a movie or play some ridiculous game. I do enjoy homecoming.

Rewind

To back in time and change something in my life would be huge. On October 3, 2007 my brother and I got in a wreck that ruined my junior year in football and basketball. If I could go back in time I would wait 5 more seconds before leaving football practice, then that drunk driver would have never hit us. After the wreck I missed the rest of football due to a shoulder injury, that I still have. Then when basketball came up, I had to miss all of it due to legal issues. It was such a frustrating time in my life. I had always expressed myself through sports, and when this wreck happened, I could no longer do that. I just wish it never happened.

Super Bowl Commercials

I was extremely disappointed this year with the Super Bowl commercials. With each commercial costing $100,000 a second I was really expecting something great this year. The thing I was most upset about was the Miller High Life commerial, or the lack of. a 1 second commercail was supposed to heir sometime durring the game and I never saw it. The 3-D commercial was terrible too. I just expected alot better from the entertainment centers of all these companies.
