almost christmas

Hi, hello. So its almost time for Christmas once again. Another year has flown by and I am just that much closer to my destiny. So the movie Salt came out today and that is one of my most absolute favorite movies. Angelina did an incredible job in it providing both the intense action sequences and the drama that should go right along with it.The point of this post was that I rented the movie and was then watching special features. I was watching the commentary with the director and he began talking about how after a month it was released to the public there were illegal downloads splashed all over the internet. He went on to talk about that one of his friends went bankrupt due to pirated films of his. I had never thought of that when people illegally download films it would have an impact like that. IT does so just don't do it. People think that these movies are produced for our enjoyment for free and they are too cheap to pay to watch it. The truth is that the only reason they are still around today to produce movies is because we pay to watch it and so they have money to produce it. If we stopped paying then eventually they wouldn't be able to afford to produce it. The director expressed his concerns that maybe one day there won't be movies in theatres or anything like that because it gets stolen from them and they go bankrupt. I can't help but wonder if maybe, just maybe he is right.

Pirates of the Caribbean #4!

Hi, hello. So I am officially a little ticked off right now. No, more like a LOT ticked off. I was just reading online that the fourth pirates isn't gonna have Kiera Knightly in it. They took her character out and replaced it with some girl Penelope Cruz is gonna play. I think I am not going to see it because of that. I am really angry I can't even write a proper blog. Orlando Bloom isn't even it. At least Johnny still is otherwise they would loose everything on it. Even so I think the box office isn't going to make very much this go around.

Why do girls throw themselves away like that!?

Hi, hello. Sometimes it really bothers me how girls just don't hesitate or anything and throw themselves away. Even in my grade I know of so many who have and it makes no sense. They are in high school and probably wont ever see the guy after graduation. Oh and then moving in together...he won't even marry you then. At least not for like 10 years. Also statistics show that if you have sex before marriage your guy is more likely to stray off and cheat on you than if you wait until marriage. Sorry gents I am just stating the facts.

Philosophy

Hi, hello. Philosophy is very interesting. My mom has often told me that I am very philosophical and I have to agree with that. For a seventeen year old I have a fair bit of wisdom in my bones but its not because I am smart. I once learned in sunday school that the greatest gift God would give you is the gift of wisdom. My teacher said that he loves it if we ask him for wisdom and I ask him quite frequently and he gives this amazing gift to me. So really what I am getting at is if you have any deep questions or whatever feel free to ask them.

Adam Young

Hi, hello. So last night I clicked onto Adam Young's blog and the song that began to play was "My Hope is Found". This song always hits me so deep and I am currently listening to him sing it and just bawling. The piano part that he does is beautiful. Its not even the beauty of the song that hits me so deep its the words. There are those few songs that bring me tears every time I hear them. "How Deep the Father's Love" is one of those songs. No matter if I am in public or alone every time I listen to it I fall to me knees and just weep. Its such a powerful song as is "My Hope is Found" and I basically just cried through this whole blog post. Another thing is he talks about on the post how he is 24 and bawls like a baby every time. This song is just so powerful that no matter what age you are if you listen and here the words and meaning of it you will cry no matter if you are male of female. Whoever wrote...I don't even know what to say after that. They listened to God and followed their destiny.

Destinies

Hi, hello. I believe that each person was designed in the specific way that they are and God gave each person a destiny to follow. I don't think that destinies find us but I believe that we sort of find them in a way. God has a unique plan for every single person he has created. Although they differ greatly each one is just as important as the last one. I feel as though God is calling me into the ministry area but not around here. I believe that I am going to be going to all sorts of foreign countries and teaching all about him. I also sort of feel as though I am going to be heavily persecuted for this but I am okay with that. That is the destiny that I plan on chasing after. Other destinies could be getting married right after graduation and having kids then being a stay at home mom. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If everyone was off in foreign countries reaching out then there would be no one left at home to raise up and teach the new generations how to be teachers and warriors for Christ (essentially that is what we all are). See every destiny is different from the next but each were purposefully designed by God and that is what makes each one so great.

The Opposite Gender and Insight

Hi, hello. I find it very interesting that girls seem to have insight into both genders and can observe a male flirting and a female while a male somehow remains completely clueless; or is that just what they want us to think? I feel like because God designed females to be more sensitive than males I think that this is the reason for or excellent insight.

Females can notice if a guy likes her or not and can see when a girl likes a guy. I think that this was how we were designed by our ultimate creator to protect us from getting hurt. We can see before it happens if the guy or girl is actually interested and we can thus avoid nasty situations that will cause us to get our hearts broken. Now I completely understand that males get hurt also and I observed that after my best friend broke up with her boyfriend he was depressed for the next half of the year. I am just speculating. I am really tired and need to sleep. I am not entirely sure what the point of this post was cause I don't think it makes any sense but here you go.

Indi...

Hi, hello. You know my dog drives me crazy sometimes. She gets all anxious at moments and finds trouble (socks especially) everywhere regardless if we put everything away or not. I can't possibly get through a whole movie in one sitting because as soon as I sit down she barks and wants out then she goes out and scratches and so my mom yells at me to let her in. Then she wants out and it just drives me crazy sometimes. That dog though, I love her sooooo much! We went for a walk the other day through the golf course which is not too far from my house. We played first and then were walking and she wasn't on the leash. She ran far ahead of me and was busy sniffing around a cluster of trees. I ran behind this huge tree and watched as she raced back to the last spot she had seen me and then she looked around and it was so cute to see the panic growing inside as she couldn't find me. When she did though she was so terribly excited. That touching moment made me realize just how much I love her and that she loves me back. I should go now so I don't bore you to death.

The last song...

Hi, hello. So last night I watched "The Last Song". It was so so. The story line was really good but Miley Cyrus just did not work for that part. She can't really pull off the depressed, angry teen. The switch to happy go lucky Ronnie was too drastic. It should have been gradual. Will helped her through the healing process but it shouldn't have been like "bam" and she is happy. The complexity of the character would have been portrayed a lot better had it been a different actress. That was the type of character that always pulls me in and I just can't get enough of. Too bad that didn't happen. Oh well it was all in all a decent movie.

Dreams...Again

Hi, hello. So back onto this same topic. One time in a birthday card to me, my sister wrote a message to me, it said: "Don't be afraid to fly cause I know that you will soar," this has inspired my dreams and I found that it was a huge encouragement to me. I am no longer settling down for small dreams but am aiming high.

Dreams...

Hi, hello. I don't know about everyone else but it seems to me that I am the only one who tends to dream big. I have dreamt of going to the Olympics, about publishing books, changing the world, making a difference in the world. It just seems like lots of the people that I have talked to don't share those same huge dreams as me. They don't have any plans of wanting to travel and see the world. They just want to go to University and then come back and get married and work here doing nothing out of the ordinary. Personally I don't see why you would want to settle for the typical American dream when you can fly higher than that. I want to see the world. I want to be able to do whatever God wants me to do and go preach in a restricted country. I dream big! There is no reason to dream small when you can touch anything in your dreams.

Olympics and the world

Hi, hello. A while ago I had a post that was titled the exact same thing but for some strange reason I deleted it. So this is the new one about the same thing. The theme song of the 2010 Olympic Winter games was "I Believe", it talks about in the song of a world brought together as one. I have thought about this and its so true. Could you imagine if like how the world gets together for a sporting event like the Olympics. We stand united while we compete against each other. The original purpose of the Olympic games was to stop war for a bit and have a while of peace in the midst of turmoil. What if rather than fighting against each other the world united and we fought against things like poverty, disease, famine? We could make our home a better place. It could be incredible. If we can join together and have peace for two weeks for a sporting event why is it so hard to be at peace with each other all the time?

It's really sad that the next world cup won't be for four years...

Hi, hello. Well I know that the world cup has now been over for a while but I really do miss it. I haven't had much time to talk about it since my summer was a bit chaotic and I sort of forgot about my blog. The excitement of the World Cup is what I think I love the best. The soccer fans just go crazy after all they only get this event once every four years. They go wild cheering for their country or whatever team they want to win. Its just so incredible to watch it on TV and in videos. It just gives you a thrill for you're country and makes you proud to be part of it. Yeah my friend who was in South Africa for the Abstain 2010 (an organization that is fighting against human trafficking) said that it was amazing and the streets were just wild and thrilling. I wish I could have been there! Well maybe I will at the next one.

Sadly My summer journey is now basically over...not saying that summer is though

Hi, hello. So now I have sadly finished working my last week of camp. It was an incredible week but I am really sad now. I grew so much spiritually this week it was just great. I currently am at a loss for words to describe my week so I guess that I will just have to end this post here.

Stupid Washing Machine!

Hi, hello. So on Sunday evening I was doing laundry. I had been outside before that and had had a fire so my clothes stunk like smoke. I decided to just through those clothes in the washer just to fill the load and since they stunk. Well I checked all the pants pockets and everything. Then when the load was almost done I realized that my cell phone had been in the pouch of my hoodie. It was too late by then and needless to say my cell is now squeaky clean and I believe that the circuit is fried. Thankfully my contract was up. Well I choose for my new phone the motorola hint. I HATE it. I am going to go tomorrow and see if they will let me exchange it. I really really really dislike it.

Read the one below it first...

Hi, hello. The week also consisted of some amazing camp food. People always say that camp food is gross but I really don't know what they are talking about. At least at this camp in is fantastic. So We did various things this week. We played a really awesome game called ROCS which is just awesome and can be violent. Then the next day we played Invasions which is basically running around and diving in a poison ivy infested bush with snipers (they carry flashlights but don't shoot), secret agents, and trying to get to the tower to get puzzle pieces. It was so very very awesome. Then the next day we went to one of the staff members' houses and she has a huge yard and a pond with a tarzan rope and zipline that go into it. That was just awesome. We also played capture the flag there. I have been a camper there for years but have never quite experienced camp like that. It was also interesting to make my first venture into the staff lounge. Well lets just say that today I came home sun burnt, mosquito bite infested, probably have poison ivy, and am physically exhausted, and bruised from a wicked game of red rover today. I wouldn't have traded any of this for anything. Lets just say that I cannot wait to go back in a week.

Long long...long long time has past...

Hi, hello. So I really haven't posted on here in a while. Well so here is something that I will most likely be blogging about for a while (or at least the summer), I am now a staff member at a summer bible camp. I will only be working a few weeks but that is still something and will be really challenging and stretching. This week we just had staff training and it was so so so so much fun. I made some new friends and met a whole bunch of people. The week consisted of a speaker who was talking to us about submitting ourselves as bondservants to Jesus and he spoke about how without the Christian faith a lot of organizations like the Red Cross and stuff wouldn't be here today. He also was showing us how there are hundreds of prophecies in the Old Testament that tell of the coming of Jesus, he then showed when the exact prophecy was fulfilled. It was so very awesome. This is going to get long so I will put it in a few different posts.

House season finale...

Hi, hello. I am really upset right now. The House season finale was tonight and it was crappy. I don't mean in the sense that it was literally bad but now I have to wait until September to see how things will turn out now. Thirteen has problems most likely medical and House and Cuddy are now an item. It is garbage. Ugh...why do writers feel the need to do that? (this is a rhetorical question)

My bad...

Hi, hello. So today I was looking through my old posts and realized that I have a lot of them talking about my lack of readers. I apologize for this. Hopefully now I shall stop talking about it.

Hi, hello. So currently I am in grade 11 and in about 5 weeks shall be heading into summer and then into grade 12. I am sorta scared. People are always talking about how excited they are just to leave and be free. I don't understand why. There are so many choices that must be made and you have to decide what to do with the rest of your life and leave your family and the closest friends that you know. It scares me to think that not every day will be planned out anymore. I guess that is when I just need to trust God and let him guide my heart and make sure that my feet go there to. I really don't know what exactly he wants to do but I do know that if he tells me to go somewhere without a reason I believe that I would go however scary that is. I just need to give him my heart.

ha ha

Hi, hello. It quite rather amuses me that absolutely no one reads my blog. I find it funny. Well maybe one day someone can come and discover really how awesome it is.

Well...last week...

Hi, hello. So last week Thursday I went to see stars on ice, which is a figure skating show that features significant and well known figure skaters (at least the canadian ones). Why would I go to that? (since I am a hockey player and really don't know anything about figure skating except that it is really pretty to watch). Well I am a major fan of the Olympics, it just so happens that Olympic bronze medalist Joannie Rochette and Olympic champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir happened to be skating. Since I just watched them on TV in February I figured why not see them live. I got to sit in second row right in the action (oh yes, I mean action since Kurt Browning threw snow at me (I didn't know who he was until after that though)). It was pretty sweet. Well now I must go and clean my room. It should be fine though since I get to listen to He Is We while I clean.

Well...

Hi, hello. Well my travels are now officially over with the Banff band trip behind us. Unfortunately catching up on school work and sleep has been a tad difficult. Well anyway...Banff was awesome. I was involved in two different band groups (I play the trombone), I played in senior jazz band and senior concert band. I don't know which I like better though. Last week Saturday we were privileged to attend an amazing concert put on the Mcgill Universities jazz band. They were amazing. I can't even explain how amazing on here. They were just...just...there isn't even a word invented yet to describe their awesomeness.

long time no post...

Hi, hello. I guess it has been a few days since I last posted on here. Well so things have been a little busy lately. Can't really tell you with what as I don't really know. I have been on the hunt for a summer job but so far have had nothing turn up. I plan to go to another green house tomorrow where I hopefully will be hired. Well now I need to go and shower and then get to bed. Good night.

P.S. Did anyone see tonights episode of House? I thought that it was really funny. It was a very interesting case although I am quite disappointed in the writers or producers whatever at the moment. In House episodes they used to zoom in on the inside on the body and they would show what was happening internally. They haven't done that for a long time now which is making the show not quite as good (of course like any fan I am more interested in the relationships of the characters anyway). That was the shows signature and what made it different from all of the other medical shows but apparently they have decided to join the rest of them and make it suck. Anyway that was my rant for the moment. Feel free to comment on any post...oh and tell me what you thought of House tonight (and 24).

:(

Hi, hello. This is sorta sad. Apparently I have no readers lol (its not like I really expected any anyway). Apparently my follower doesn't even read this. Oh well, so yesterday I got a haircut. I really really like it. There was a good 3 inches taken off and lots of layers but I like it. As you can see I really don't know what to say in this post aside from the fact that I need to go to parent teacher now.

Sorry...

Hi, hello. Sorry to my readers. I didn't post yesterday because my internet for some odd reason decided that it didn't want to work for me so I couldn't come on here at all yesterday. Well I am currently watching bones for the first time and I have to go because I don't want to mess anything important (its not like I would know any different if I happened to miss something). Well have fun with whatever you are doing this evening.

ah...again

So in the last title when I said I think. Well what I meant by that is that I thought that I was going to just put pics from my trip in but I wasn't sure. I thought that I might add some extra pictures in there from other stuff but I didn't.

Pictures again...this time though of my trip to Europe (I think)

Mount Vesuvius from a ferry that we took over to Capri. The ferry ride was funny but unfortunately it was so rough that most of the people from my group got sick.
The parthenon
From the archeological site in Delphi, Greece.
Same as the above picture.
The coast line. We were leaving Italy and heading to Greece on an over night ferry.
Mount Vesuvius from Pompeii. We were lucky and there was a basically perfect view of the volcano. Our tour guide says that only happens 4 times a month.
Capri
The Acropolis

Just Curious...

Hi, hello. Just out of curiosity I want to know if my blog is actually interesting. I seriously don't know what to blog about so it is just going to be random stuff written by a very random person. Give me feedback. Do you think that this blog is interesting? Now that doesn't mean one specific post but in general. Seriously I want to know so comment and tell me truthfully what you think.

Hi, hello. I couldn't think of a good title for this post so I guess it will just be left untitled. So to my one follower and those of you who don't follow my blog but still look in, I have added a few gadgets to my blog. I am quite excited about the fishys and have had a lot of fun feeding them. The other ones, well they are really just for show. The gadget that I really wanted was from another site and didn't work on here but oh well. The fishys are still super sweet and I suppose I can survive with them (I actually have had lots of fun with them).

Hi, hello. So my computer is currently dying and I am to lazy to go and plug it in. This means that this is as far as I am going to get with this post today and I hope that you enjoy these lovely pics that I just posted.

Pictures

The colleseum in Rome.
Some arch.
The beautiful Island of Capri.
My dog.
My dog when she was a little puppy.
Unfortunately this one is a tad blurry but I thought that it was still pretty sweet.

Some random ducks.

The parliament buildings in Ottawa (yes I took the picture).

I don't really know what to say about this one. It was some lilies in my backyard.

Im officially excited...

Hi, hello. Well apparently I have my first follower. What is really exciting about that is that the person is someone who I have never met or seen before so I am pretty excited.

Ugh...

Hi, hello. So I am almost completed my grade 11 year of high school. That means that I have to decide what I want to do with my life. I thought that archeologist would have been a lot of fun. Lots of field work and travelling. Extreme stuff like maybe some good ole Indiana Jones stuff but then I read that most archeologists end up professors and some never even experience field work. That pushed me back because I for sure can't be a teacher. The other thing that I would love to do is become a doctor and join doctors without borders. That would be soo much fun. I would get to help people in need all over the world and do some work for God in the process. I really though don't know where he wants me but I most likely will end up doing that. It would be amazing to get to help people who have nothing every day of my life. I still don't know though. Maybe I will do YWAM for six months and change myself from the ordinary and never be the same again. That would be sweet. I really don't know where he is calling me so I guess I will have to wait and see.

Hmmmm...

Hi, hello, well I really don't want to do my homework right now so I guess I will continue to post random things until I start freaking out about my homework and just finish it. Yes, thats right. I am a major procrastinator. I hate it but have tried and tried to change myself but just can't seem to. I say though this is a pretty sweet afternoon. I am just hangin out on my bed with my computer (laptop) on my lap just chillin out to some Jack Johnson. It's pretty special even though I should be useful with my time and actually do something. Well anyway...

When the cats away...the mice will play

Hi, hello. Just ignore the title it was quite random. So today I finally got to sleep in after a long time of getting up at 6 or the odd time 7:30. It was nice although I still feel tired. I don't know what to blog about so I guess I will blog about my day to day life. It's saturday so I lounged around in my pjs for a long while and just recently went and put clothes on. This morning I watched some Chuck and House before finally willing myself to get out of bed. Then I spur of the moment decided that maybe I would like to create a blog and that is where I have been ever since. Life sounds pretty boring eh? Well today actually it is. I suppose though right now I should go and take my dog out and play with her. She is pretty crazy (not at this moment). I mean she always is busy getting into trouble or searching for that sock that always seems to go missing from me (her plan is then to chew it up). As much as she can sometimes be a pain I can't see having her any other way or even having any other dog. I love her too much.

This hopefully should explain it.

Hi, hello. Here is yet another post today. I suppose you maybe are wondering why I said the the Journey of. Well to answer you're inquiry its because I recently got back from a 10 day trip. I was in Italy and Greece over my spring break and had an awesome time. Thankfully I am still feeling the results of that trip (jetlag) then at least it will take me a while to forget the amazing trip. I am going on another journey soon (less than two weeks) to Banff, Alberta on a band trip. And yes, I am a band geek.

This is how it is!

Hi, hello. I seriously hope to get followers who aren't my friends cause I think that it would just be neat. So here is how it is. I would prefer to have my name left unknown, that way you all can think of what a crazy person I am. Thats just how it is. I would like to blog often so be aware of lots of blogs but I might add, they most likely aren't all going to be important, just like this one.

So this is it I guess...

Hi, hello to all my fellow readers, which I might add probably isn't anyone. So welcome to my blog site. What I blog I honestly have no idea but its gonna be sweet. So lets start with this, today I spur of the moment decided that it might be pretty sweet to create a blog, so I did. I guess we will wait and see where this will go from now.
