Seminary

So getting up every single morning at 4:45 is hard. And to go to a class and stay a wake for that long is even harder. So getting there takes a lot of will power, and your parents threatening to ground you. Our seminary class is located in the basement of my friend Chris's house. His room is right around the corner so he has the easiest job, walking two feet from his bed to one of the chairs. And recently every morning he has gotten up, showered, and layed in his bed, asleep during seminary. So today we decided to get proof, to show his parents exactly what he was doing during seminary. The idea came to me when I found his video camera laying next to his bed, I picked it up and was so happy when it had a full tape ready to serve justice. We took the camcorder and started by filming him asleep in bed and then every twenty minutes we filmed the clock and then his empty seat. Our teacher was all for the idea, he was as excited as we were to finally tell on him. So 6:45 came and we filmed him getting out of bed and walking upstairs, now it was time to show his parents. We took the camcorder to his  mom and she laughed pretty hard. THEN chris served the consequences, and JUSTICE WAS SERVED.

The Dryer, I Mean THE Dryer

So a couple of weeks ago me and my brother went into the bathroom at Target. The hand dryer there was intense. It was called  the Xelerator. This thing blows so much air out, so fast, that your skin on your hand moves around. It is painful when you have your hands too close. So every time we go there we play around with it, sticking paper towels in the dispenser and seeing them shoot out and intelligent things like that. We got so much joy it was hilarious. Then the about a week ago me and my brother were sitting at home talking when we came up with the idea, how would it feel to stick your face under that dryer... What exactly would that feel like... the wind rushing past your face... the feeling of freedom. Today is when I experienced the dryer and i took the chance and stuck my face under the dryer. The feeling of wind rushing past your face, hair blowing around, the stinging brute force of the wind. It was amazing... I have never experienced that much force from a small hand dryer, i'll remember the date, write it down in my journal, January 27, the first day i stuck my face under THE hand dryer.

Rocket Launch

So today we had a get together with a group of friends and we had leaders from our church join us for our "adult" supervision to launch model rockets. The first ridiculous part of the morning was it was negative, let me repeat NEGATIVE six degrees without windchill. AND the launch site had a good two to three feet of snow covering the ground. So we all came with light spring jackets and tennis shoes and made our rockets. There was a wide range of sizes of rockets and each requiring different engines. The biggest rockets usually take about a engine 5. And the smallest one takes a 1. So we all launched our rockets successfully and got a lot of joy! Then we realized, crap, we cant feel our hands or feet. We all ran through the field back to the house and dethawed. Then of course we went out again, but this time we were prepared, we wore plastic bags over our feet! And thats just the start of it. So for the finale we put an engine 5 into a rocket that takes an engine 1. We figure well it'll either blow up, land on a roof, or hit one of us leaving us severely burned. Well why not try it! We launched the rocket and it automatically spazzed out and we all hit the ground. It flew over our heads in circles until ending up smashing into the ground burying itself two feet into the ground. We all laughed of course, not thinking at all what really could have happened to us. So overall it was a typical teenage guy get together! I wonder what's going to happen next...

So my mom just got photoshop for the mac and i just couldn't resist messing around with it, heres some of the pictures i made...

Finally I Post Something

So for the longest time i've been trying to come up with something to put on here but have never really come up with anything! But today I had a wonderful idea! Why not write about how wonderful a teenagers life is! Or to be more specific the wonderful/mindless life of a teenage GUY. So today me and a group of friends were stuck in a room for three hours and we about lost it. So we had to find SOMETHING to do. That's when my friend Shelby spotted a small cupboard in the corner of the room. That's when we had the idea... Lets see if each of us can fit in there! So we proceeded to make a barrier, hiding the person getting in the cupboard and see if we could fit! We quickly figured out that if you went in feet first, twisted your body so it was parrallel with the wall then you could easily slide in and shut the door. Just in case you were wondering, we all fit successfully! This was just one thing we did to keep ourselves occupied. The whole cupboard act got old real fast. So our next game... Hoodie Basketball. The point of this activity is locate someone with a hoodie on in the room and shoot small paper balls, and adding points if the ball lands succesfully in the hood. This game takes a lot of skill and practice. AND to add on to the fun, you get to see the persons reaction once they find all the small pieces of paper in their hood. As you can see we got a lot out of the lesson and came out of the class very confident in our knowledge of the history of the past presidential inaugerations. Overall it was a very good day
