NCAA Tourny

Around this time of year everybody has filled out their bracket and is looking for their team to do well in the NCAA Tourny. Last year I did really good in filling out my bracket winning one of the pools. But so far this year I am 9-7 after one day. But hopefully today my team the mighty Wolfpack can pull one out to beat the 7 seeded UNNCC 49ers.

GO PACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spring Break

SPRING BREAK 2005 has finally started. First off we had to make up a day because one day it "snowed" (really rained) and they called off school. So during most classes we watched tv or just chilled. Coming back from CC Anthony almost runs out of gas and decides to only put $2 in when gas costs $1.99. Luckily we make it back to school without running out of gas. Get to school to find out that I have to get together a group of 4-5 guys to move the baseball bleachers to the softball feild. After completeing this task (not before almost breaking my wrist) Scott tells me that everybody is going to Hooters to eat dinner. We get there and our waiter is an asshole. She hardly serves us and is kind of a bitch about everything. Plus she wasnt even that hot and she worked at Hooters. Then Shannon decides to get the bright idea of pouring her drink onto Michelle, which was quite hilarious. After eating a rather expensive meal and not even getting sub-par service Alexandra invites everybody over to her house in Camelot. When we arrive at her house it is the biggest house Ive ever been in. Her basement alone was half the size of my house.

Today went to LaCarreta to eat lunch and once again we were ignored almost completely by the people there. We had to get up and our own drinks, silverware, and napkins. After leaving LaCaretta we go up to church to play some b-ball. Once again I win in a game of 21. Then we go to Daniels house to play some Halo 2.

Tommorow is ST. PATRICKS DAY!!!!! y'all stay safe and sober on this "holiday." Being part Irish myself I consider this a holiday and we need to get out of school for it (if we were in school).

Also I took the SAT on Saturday and it is much harder than the old one. The essay isn't as hard as depicted but the math and reading are much tougher. Plus it is like 4 hrs long.

Y'all have terrific Spring Break!!!!!!!

Mount Tabor

Ok been a while since I've posted. So I want to start out to say I have added a video of T.I.'s Bring'em Out so y'all can have some music and the colors have also changed.

I finally got my camera. I took it to school to film the Pep Ralley for our Backwards Homecoming. It was pretty good, I got the Step Team, Dance Team, cheerleaders, half-court shot contest (I got Royal hitting his), and of course the Homecoming Court. This camera can do some crazy things and if y'all know of a place wher I can get a video editing software for cheap let me know.

At the MTHS vs. NW Guilford game on Backwards Homecoming night was crazy. We had the biggest student section ever. Mrs. Raymer was getting mad b/c we were all in her space but we couldn't move b/c the SS went all the way back to the back wall @ the top. NWG had this kid that had like JJ Redick three point skills. He would pull up from anywhere anytime and drill no matter who was guarding him. Tabor once again though can't find a way to win a game. Tie game going into the last 1:30 and we turn the ball over on like 3 straight possesions leading to a NWG victory and knocking Tabor most likely out of the playoffs. On a good note Cole Andrew won Homecoming King, Derek Nicholson was Mr. Spartan, and Dave Rudel was 1st runner up.

Church b-ball has to be more intense and cared about than high school ball @ Tabor. Everybody is one like 4 different chruch teams and when they play it's game on. Like today we played FBC and everybody knew everybody so there were alot of cheap shots. We got smashed b/c we only shot around 20% for the entire game. We had 15 points going into the last 1:30 when me, nate, and matt ripped off like 18 strainght points which really didn't matter considering we were down by like 30. Also refs in chruch, WCCC, and high school ball suck. They seem almost clueless to what is going on out there on the court. Seeing that the same refs ref all three leagues. Like some refs at high school games reffed my WCCC games when I was in like 7th grade and they were just as bad then as they are now.

Anyways thats all for today!!!

A Snowy Day

Today started out as a normal Saturday. Woke up around 8:30ish, was supposed to play a b-ball game today, planning on not staying home much. Well as I woke up my parents told me that they were going to Best Buy to look for surround sound. I went along because I was looking into buying a camcorder. We get there to find we have arrived it isn't open yet so we go to Barnes &Nobles to get some SAT prep book (it's like 3,000 pages) and the Great Gatsby (Hyre's class). I hate Barnes & Nobles, it has to be the gathering place of the possibly weirdest people on earth. So finally after leaving there we go to Best Buy. At Best Buy I find this camera I really like (Canon ZR300). After we talk to the lady and some little camera fanatic kid we decide to buy it. After we have decided this only does Vega (the lady) realize that they don't have any in stock because the camera is a new model. This makes me really irritated because I had been looking foward to getting a camera this weekend. I also am irritated because it has begun to snow really hard outside. So we drive home and then my exciting day of playing video games and watching TV begins because it hasn't snowed enough to do anything in. Bringing me to my next topic: snow.

Snow sure it looks nice and pretty and is fun for about 2-3 hrs. But then reality sets in. We will miss school causing our spring break to be shorter and then eventually summer vacation. Not to metion when you get back to school you hear of how all the Sheerwood Forest kids all got together and hung out while out hear in Chadwyck it's only me, Scott, Adam, and Jonathan. We can only do so much here too. But I will have to argue we have the best sledding hill. So y'all can wish for all the snow in the world but I myself like my spring break and summer vacation.

Also NC State, my beloved team, played today in b-ball against Clemson. State shouldn't be as bad as they are. I can't stand to watch them play because it is so ugly. Also I can't watch them with my dad because he curses them everytime they do the smallest thing wrong. I believe the problem is Herb Sendek. Don't get me wrong he is a good coach but he isn't the fit for NC State. State probably has one of the most athletic teams in th ACC but running this Princeton style offense doesn't work for them. It is a shame Roy Williams has to coach @ UNC because he knows how to play the game of b-ball. Today on some show he was asked does he mean to beat teams the way they do and he said it's not my problem we beat them so bad, it's their job to stop us. Anyways GO PACK!! O yeh and we got Tony Baker, suckas.

So that's how my life is right now.

BUSH RULES!!!

Avalanche 2005

Title is link to Crossed-up Ministries

Avalanche is MTUMC's uth group's winter reatreat. This trip this year was special because we got to see our ex-uth director Brian Loper for basically the first time since Daytona. This year as last it snowed really hard which isnt unusual for Spruce Pine, NC (in the mountains) at this time of year. But also same as last the guys got ripped again for the lodging situation. The girls got to stay in the main building while the guys cabin was at the top of this steep hill. This was bad because the first night it was wet and ice was created making this hill almost impossible to climb up. Then the second night while being 0 degrees outside, wind blowing about 15 mph, and snowing pretty hard we had to climb the hill to go to bed.

Probably the funniest thing that happened on this trip was Saturday night. After a long day of playing basketball and worship (some went skiing) we had gone up to our cabin. We were all pretty wild seeing that worship had breathed a new breathe of life into us. Since it had been like 6 hrs since we last ate some real food we were all starving. Nobody had any food except for Cole and Brad. Cole being notorious for always having food kept pulling out sandwhichs, chips, and all sorts of food from his bag. Brad on the other hand had the food that he always had, Mnchies. This has to be the greatest snack food ever but thats another topic. Anyways we were pretty loud and since it was 2 uth groups per cabin we had made this like 70 yr. old man in the other half of the cabin mad because we were keeping him up (I guess). So he comes in and asks us to keep it down and gave us a 10 min. time limit. This was his first mistake because we had adults in our room and they were fine with the noise level. But we quieted down and turned off the light. So in about 6 mins this guy comes back into our room and says "Would y'all plaese go to f****** sleep" we were all in total shock and one of our adults Jim Annas says "Dude, we're on a church retreat, we have gone to bed just go on." The only noise I can possibly think that we were making at this time was the fact that we were laughing because Danny and I were pulling Daniel's sleeping bag through the opening beside the wall between the top bunk and the wall. Anyways the was probably the highlight of the weekend.

The next day, we were supposed to leave in the morning after worship. But as it is coming time to leave we find out that the bus door has frozen shut. This caused us to fall behind schedule about 2 hrs. When the door is finally open we hit the road. Going down the road I begin to smell burning rubber but being so tired I keep it to myself. Then all-of-a-sudden there is this crash and it sounds like we are losing luggage from underneath but really we had blew a tire. This caused us to fall behind schedule even more because we rode along the side of the highway for about 1 hr. thne decide to exit in Hickory. Luckily when we stop we stop beside a Fudruckers where everybody gets off and gets something to eat and we watch the Falcons/Eagles game. So finally we make it home at around 7 when we were supposed to be home around 2.

Anyways Avalanche was tons of fun and great fun. We have pictures and I will put them up as soon as I get the chance

School

I hate school with a passion, it's not so much school it's just that the things we have to do there, I love just hanging out with people in my classes but I have come to realize that we do more pointless worksheets and things than we do actually getting taught (except for AP US History with Pittard).

Today started out really bad at about 4 o'clock this morning when I woke up because my stomach hurt really really bad. I threw up like 3 times from that time to the time I actually went to school. At school I learn that in my 1st period class we are doing test corrections for our exam. Not feeling to great I do what I can. 2nd period comes along one of my favorite classes, Art, because when we do something it is normally pretty fun but most the time we just chill. So I sleep for that whole period and start to feel a little better but then I have to go to Hyre's class which I normally like but today it was really boring and it just made me feel worse. The rest of the day was pretty much the same as the beginning. I really hope this just passes me over and doesn't stick around.

Anyways y'all have a terrific day!!!


I know this is bad but it's still funny

Best Buy

Today being bored to death after an semi-exciting morning of getting my braces off Daniel and I decided we would go to Best Buy, just because. On the way over there we get caught in a ton of traffic to be 3 o'clock in the afternoon on Monday. When we finally make it over to Best Buy we go in to find that the games they have out for people to play suck except for Need for Speed Underground 2 which at that point is being played by an employee of the store. So we walk around and finally decide to play this game Burnout. The point of this game is to race other cars and try to make some of the sickest crashes possible. That game got really boring after awhile so we walk around again making fun of these kids. Finally the Need for Speed game opens up and Daniel sits down to play it. As he is playing this 5 yr. old black kid comes up and punks him for the controller (I don't think I have laughed so hard in my life). So the whole idea of going to play games was blown because Daniel couldn't stand up to this little kid. But really Daniel was in shock as this little kid basically came up and grabbed the controller from him so instead of making a big scene he just walked away but it was still hilarious. I went to Best Buy today not planning to spend any money but instead I spent around $60. Once I saw Need for Speed: Underground 2 I had to have and then I had been wanting this CD but Modest Mouse and decided to buy it too.

First Post

Hey everybody,

I was bored and decided to make a Blog because I tried My Space but it was to complicated for me. I'm not very good at keeping these kinda things updated so if I dont update dont think anything of it.

This morning I woke up around 8 because my mom called me to remind me that I had a orthodonist appointment at 10:30 to get my braces off. When I got to there I had to wait about 3 mins as usual then went back into the office. The hygentist type ladies have a lot of problems cause everytime i go back there they are either talking about what good things are going on in their life or the horrible things going on. In one sitting you could learn a whole lot from these ladies. Anyways I sit down and they take off the braces but then I lay there with the blinding light shining in my eyes for like 30 mins listening to the ladies talk waiting on the orthodonist to come and polish my teeth so I can leave. Finally when it is all over I find out that for the next 2 weeks i have to wear this mouthguard looking thing before I get my retainer. This thing is twice the size of my football mouth peice and I have to wear it 12 hrs. a day and for at least 2 days I have to wear it 48 hrs total. This thing is really pissing me off because my mom is making sure that I am wearing it and it is the hardest thing to breathe out of. But now i have no braces and i feel great minus this gigantic mouth peice that I have to wear.

My dad sent me these Tsunami videos and they are insane but this isn't even close to being the worst because they appear to be filmed at resorts and similar places not in the little tiny native villages that took most the blow. Just keep those people in your prayers.

Thats all for now
