My Blog: wear red
By: Asmurf24


Will you give this to my Daddy?

As a Company, Southwest Airlines is going to support 'Red Fridays.'

Last week I was in , attending a conference. While I
was in the airport, returning home, I heard several people behind me
beginning to clap and cheer I immediately turned around and witnessed
one of the greatest acts of patriotism I have ever seen.

Moving thru the terminal was a group of soldiers in their camos. As they
began heading to their gate, everyone (well alm ost everyone)was abruptly
to their feet with their hands waving and cheering.

When I saw the soldiers, probably 30-40 of them, being applauded and
cheered for, it hit me. I'm not alone. I'm not the only red-blooded
American who still loves this country and supports our troops and their
families.

Of course I immediately stopped and began clapping for these young
unsung heroes who are putting their lives on the line everyday for us so
we can go to school, work and home without fear or reprisal.

Just when I thought I could not be m ore proud of my country or of our
service men and women, a young girl, not more than 6 or 7 years old ran
up to one of the male soldiers. He kneeled down and said 'hi.'

The little girl then asked him if he would give something to her daddy
for her.

The young soldier, who didn't look any older than maybe 22 himself,
said he would try and what did she want to give to her daddy. Then
suddenly the little girl grabbed the neck of this soldier, gave him the
biggest hug she could muster and then kissed him on the cheek.

The mother of t he little girl, who said her daughter's name was
Courtney, told the young soldi er that her husband was a Marine and had
been in Iraq for 11 months now. As the mom was explaining how much her
daughter Courtney missed her father, the young soldier began to tear up.

When this temporarily single mom was done explaining her situation, all
of the soldiers huddled together for a brief second. Then one of the
other servicemen pulled out a military-looking walkie-talkie. They
started playing with the device and talking back and forth on it.

After about 10-15 seconds of this, the young soldier walked back over to
Courtney, bent down and said this to her, 'I spoke to your daddy and he
told me to give this to you.' He then hugged this little girl that he
had just met and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He finished by saying
'your daddy told me to tell you that he loves you more than anything and
he is coming home very soon.'

The mom at this point was crying almost uncontrollably and as the young
soldier stood to his feet, he saluted Courtney and her mom. I was
standing no more than 6 feet away from this entire event


As the soldiers began to leave, heading towards their gate, people
resumed their applause As I stood there applauding and looked around,
there were very few dry eyes, including my own. That young soldier in
one last act of selflessness, turned around and blew a kiss to Courtney
with a tear rolling down his cheek.

We need to remember everyday all of our soldiers and their families and
thank God for them and their sacrifices. At the end of the day, it's
good to be an American.

RED FRIDAYS ----- Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing
Red every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to
be called the 'silent majority'. We are no longer silent, and are
voicing our love for God, country and home in record b reaking numbers.

We are not organized, boisterous or over-bearing.. We get no liberal
media coverage on TV, to reflect our message or our opinions. Many  
Americans, like you, me and all our friends, simply want to recognize
that the vast majority of supports our troops.

Our idea of showing solidarity and support for our troops with dignity
and respect starts this Friday -and continues each and every Friday
until the troops all come home, sending a deafening message that.. Every
red-blooded American who supports our men and women afar will wear
something red.

By word of mouth, press, TV -- let's make the on every
Friday a sea of red much like a homecoming football game in the
bleachers.

If every one of us who loves this country will share this with
acquaintances, co-workers, friends, and family. It will not be long before the is covered in RED and it will let our troops know the
once 'silent' majority is on their side more than ever; certainly more
than the media lets on.

The first thing a soldier says when asked 'What can we do to make
things better for you?' is...We need your support and your prayers.

Let's get the word out and lead with class and dignity, by example; and
wear something red every Friday.

  IF YOU AGREE -- THEN SEND THIS ON.

  IF YOU COULD CARE LESS THEN HIT THE DELETE BUTTON --- IT IS YOUR
  CHOICE.

One 16 year-old boy Michael, and a 16 year-old girlfriend, Sarah, fell deeply in love since the very first day they met. They both lived in California but the girl had just moved there a year ago but fell for him so fast. Michael played on her dad's football team. He was the best player on the team and her dad saw him as a son of his own. Sarah was a cheerleader on the team and had everything she ever wanted. Until one day... her life crashed. Mom: Wake up honey. Michael's downstairs waiting for you. Sarah: Oh my gosh. I woke up too late! I still need a shower and everything! Right when she said that Michael walked into her room smiling from ear to ear. Michael: No baby. You're beautiful just like that- now come on, I'm starving. Sarah: Okay.
Sarah got out of bed, put on some clothes, took his hand, and walked out the door to his car and got in. Sarah: Where are we going? Remember that I have to be home by 1. I have cheerleading practice and you have football. Michael: I know.. Then Sarah noticed that Michael was really pale-looking. Sarah: Michael are you feeling okay? You look like you're sick.. Michael: Yeah; it's just my allergies. Sarah: Are you sure? Did you go to the doctor yet? Michael: Yeah.. I went yesterday. They just said to take some allergy pills and that I'll be okay. Sarah turned to look away from Michael. She knew there was something wrong. She has allergies and she doesn't look like that.
Then he reached out and held her hand. Sarah: Michael your hands are so cold. I dont think you're okay tell me what's really wrong.. do we need to go back to the house? Michael: I promise you baby; everything is okay.. they told me to go back tomorrow but I'm not going because there's nothing wrong with me. Sarah: Michael you need to go! If they told you to then there is something wrong! Michael let go of her hand and turned back to the road and didn't talk to her the rest of the way. Sarah just looked at him. They finally pullled up to the resturaunt and ate breakfast. Michael: Did you bring your cheerleading stuff or do we have to go back to your house to get it?
Sarah: I have it.. do you really think you should go to football practice like that? Michael: Yes Sarah. I'm fine. Sarah: If you say so.. Michael: Sarah, baby, would I lie to you? Sarah: No... They got back in the car and went to the field.They got out and started practice. Sarah was practicing a new cheer, but then out of no where she heard a boy yell, "HE'S NOT MOVING SOMEONE CALL 911! HELP COACH!" Right when she heard that she turned around and saw Michael on the ground just laying there, not moving.
She ran to him but her dad pushed her back. Dad: No honey. You shouldn't be right here. Sarah started to cry. Sarah: Daddy. What happened? Is he okay? Dad: Honey. Please just go back with your coach. Sarah walked back and sat on the bench with her head in her hands while an ambulance came and took him away. She got in the car with her dad and they went to the hospital. When they got there his mom was already there and talking to the doctor. They walked over and listened... Doctor: You may want to sit down for this.Michaels Mom: Is he okay? Doctor: Ma'am.. your son has lukiemia. We can put him on treatments, but he might not make it because the cancer has already spread too much. Sarah was shocked and began to cry on here dads shoulder. Michaels Mom: Treatments? Doctor: Well the treatments would cause hair loss... but it will help slow the cancer down. Michaels Mom: But he's certain to die? Doctor: Yes.. but we have had this surgery to clear out the clogs.. but it's possible that he will not make it. Michaels Mom: I will have to talk to him about this. Can we see him now? Doctor: Yes. One at a time though. Michaels mom looked over at Sarah and hugged her tight she knew that Sarah loved him with all her heart. Michaels Mom: You go first sweetheart. Sarah: Are you sure? Michael's Mom: Yes honey. Sarah walked slowly to his room and turned the knob. She just stood there, looking at him lying there weak. He was so pale and he had tubes surrounding him. It was painful for her to look at him. Michael looked at her and weakly smiled at her.
She went over and kneeled down beside him. Michael: Did they already tell you? Sarah: Yes... Michael: I'm sorry Sarah. I didn't want you to find out like this. Sarah: It's okay; I understand Michael. Michael: Baby I love you so much.Michael reached up and slowly ran his fingers through her hair. Sarah: I love you too Michael. With all my heart.. and I will be here for you 'till the end. Michael: Im going to be okay Sarah. The nurse walked in with Michaels mom. Nurse: Its her turn now. Michael looked at Sarah. Michael: Bye baby.
Sarah: Bye. Sarah kneeled down and softly kissed his cold lips. Months went by and Michael lost his hair, but they were still deeply in love and Sarah was by him everyday. Michael was getting worse to where he couldn't even play football, and the championship game was coming up. Michael was  sitting on Sarah's porch with her and her dad. Michael: Coach.. I wanna play tomorrow. Dad: Michael I know you do.. but I can't let you do that.. you'll get hurt. Michael: No, coach. Please. This might be the last time on the field for me. I want to be able to play one more time. Dad looked at Michael and then at Sarah. Sarah nodded her head. Dad: You're a strong boy, Michael, and very brave. I think we can do this. Michael: Thank you so much coach. Sarahs dad nodded his head. Dad: So what are you two doing tonight?
Michael: I wanna show Sarah something if that's okay. Dad: Of course; you two be careful. Michael took Sarah's hand and lead her to his car. It was completely dark outside when they pulled up to the football field. Sarah: What are we doing here? Michael: Follow me. Michael grabbed a blanket and laid it down onto the field. They both laid there looking at the stars. Sarah: This is so beautiful. Michael: I do this often. I wanted to show you the place I love. Sarah: Do you remember the flowers you gave me on our very first date?
Michael: Sure I do; I gave you lillies; your favorite. Sarah: Yeah... I'll never forget that day. Michael: I want you to always remember something Sarah.
Sarah: What is it? Michael: I will always be with you.. and I will always love you.. you're my one and only.. Sarah started tearing. Sarah: I love you so much, Michael. Michael: And I also want you to be happy.. I want you to marry someone, have kids, make a family, just live a happy life for me. Sarah: No. I will never marry anyone.. im marrying you Michael Michael: Just don't forget what I told you. Michael leaned in and kissed her. She pushed him off and jumped up Sarah: You still think you can catch me? Michael: Oh yeah. I'm stronger than I look. Sarah: Then come get me. Michael stood up and chaised her around the football feild until he finally caught her. He laid on top of her and put her hands behind her back and held her there so she couldn't move. Then it started to rain and they were getting soaked but they didn't care. Michael looked deep into her eyes. Michael: Who's the weak one now huh? Sarah: Me (she giggled) Michael: Remember what you told me that night when we were at dinner? Sarah: No.. what? Michael: You have always wanted to kiss in the rain with the one you love. Sarah: Yeah? Michael: Well your wish is my comand. Michael leaned down and kissed her deeply. He pulled away. Michael: You're so beautiful. Sarah: You're such a good kisser. (she laughed.. so did he) Michael: I better get you home. They got into the car and went home. It was hard for them to sleep that night but they did.
It was finally the big day and they were all at the football field. Michael had on all his football gear, and Sarah was ready to cheer him on. The game began.
The crowd was going wild for Michael while Sarah was cheering her heart out for him. The score was 36 to 36. All they had to do was make one more point and they would win. Michael had the ball and ran with all he had to the touchdown line and threw the ball down. He had made a touch down! Everyone was cheering. They had won the game! But for Michael.. he may have lost his life. He fell to the ground trying to catch his breath. Sarah ran to him and kneeled down over him. He looked up at her gasping for breath. Everyone was heading to field. Her dad stood infront of them. Dad: Back away.. give them a moment please.. that's my daughter's love. Michael gently raised his hand and whiped her tears away. Sarah: Don't die Michael.. I need you.. I love you. Michael: I told you this was my dream to win the championship.. to be in the big game.. to die on this feild.. I made history.
Sarah leaned down and kissed him, knowing this was the last she would ever kiss him, the last time she would ever talk to him. She had so much to say but had no time to say it.Michael: I love you baby. Tell Mom I love her too.. and tell coach thank you. Sarah: I love you Michael. I love you so much.
Michael: I'll wait for you..... Michael's hand dropped and he let go. He died that night on the football feild. Sarah cried for 2 months straight. Sarah was lying on her bed when her dad walked in. Dad: Honey, it's been 2 months. Please get up. He would want you to have fun and be happy. Sarah: I know..
Dad: Guess what. Sarah: What? Dad: They are building a new stadium. Isn't that great honey? Come on, I want you to come with me before they tear the old one down. Sarah got up and went with her dad to the field. They climbed to the top of the bleachers and looked down. Sarah: It's like it was just  yesterday. He was out there throwing the football, making that touchdown.
Her dad wrapped his arms around her and she began to cry. Dad: I know baby., I know. Then Sarah noticed something on the feild. Sarah: Whats that daddy? Look. (Sarah pointed to the field) Dad: Look like some flowers are blooming. Sarah: Oh my gosh, daddy! Stop them! Don't let them tear this down! Please! Michael planted me something. Her dad ran down there and stopped them. Weeks later the flowers had bloomed. Her and her dad went to look at them. They were lillies that left a message saying, "I Love You".
If you have any heart at all and love someone this much repost this.
(also if you cried)

i am telling this story the best i can so bare iwht me ok many repeats and jumpin all of the place.

 

well today started teh same as all the other but in 4th hour i all of a suddne felt a very sharp pain in my chest and so i put my hand over my chest and my body jsut froze i couldnt move anything i couldnt breathe even so i almsot fell out of my chair so then i got up and got a pass to the nurse so on the way to the nurse i started breathing very heavy like harder then a football player sprinting for 5 mins strait yeah that bad so on the way to the office i was hoofing and puffing just trying to breathe and then my legs and arms started to tingle and i couldnt feel them so i got to the nurses office and i sat down and keept breathing heavy i saw emily there so she asked me if i was ok because i looked like death and i go here i took her hand and put it on my heart and she took her hand away fast and said go in there now so i did i sat down and the nurse said excuse me let me finish i was like ok but stumbling wiht words and sentences. she tooke my heart stuff and junk and i slowed down on breathing cus i sat down so then she called my parents and stuff after that i went to my moms workto stay until my dad got home so i wasnt home alone.

 

so now i am driving to my moms work having a cig trying to calm my nerves it worked a lil but anyways i am driving and i am shacking and i cant feel my arms or my legs so it wasnt to fun then i get there i walk in and sit down my mom is like whoa how u doin and i thought i said i am not doin to good but she said i said i do it to the no better but in all one word. so her coworker says i dont think u should wait for the appt u set up at 145 so my mom called the doctor and asked what to do they said get to the ER right now. while she was on the fone my legs went numb and i couldnt stand or feel anything and my hands have been frozing in a spot so i couldnt move my fingers cus of my muscles tensing my breatheing slowed a lil but then when my mom went to get her keys i almost passed out then me and my mom walked to her car and i am here breathing like i have never seen air before and my legs and arms are jello and my hands are frozen in teh postin of my first 2 fingers strait out and my pinky pulled back and bent all the way over sand the rign finger is poking straight out away from the the rest of them.

so me and mom are in the car she tries talkin to me i keep mumbling and breathing like no otehr. so we get to the ER and my mom says ok we are here get out but nice and all but i couldnt move my fingers. so my mom takes me in to the er and then i get wheeled into a room and they hook me up to machines left and right. i am breathing so bad now that my body is shacking like a bobble head jsut my hole body so tehy lay me down on the bed and told me to relax i couldnt i layed down then they plugged me in to those machines and one is tell my heart rate and it keeps beeping every time it beeped he told me to plz control my breathing and relax btu i couldnt he said it is very import that i slow my breathing so he left and a guy came in and got blood and then my mom was by my side and she said she loved me and i did my best to say i love u to then she told me to slow my breatheing so i said i cant she is like i am holding ur hand i said i cant feel it and then she said i will keep holding it until u can as soon as she said that i closed my eyes and thoguth of the ppl that mke me happy like nate and jenne and the guys and lindsey my parents and all of those ppl i love and then after about 45 mins i could feel my moms hand and i could feel my arms and legs again i started to relax and be alright.

so the main thing is that i almost died cus my heart is bad but i didnt

the whole time i was shaking and frozing with my hands cant move and breathing like a ceiling fan this was not fun i am very scarred i still am

i can not have any caffine or sugar or anything like that for a long time

that was a very long story experince made short so sorry about be so confusing and weird btu hey thats the story

 

the moral is that life can be taken away from anyone of us at anytime. from this experience i came up with the moral that live like its ur last day cus u never know when it could end, in ur sleep , in the car, or even in 4th hour with all ur friends u care about that u dont wnat to see like that

it was a anxisity attack i undertands the breathing and muscle stuff what from that but my heart thing cause the anxisity attack so they dont know what the heart thing is. btu it sucks its not the first time but not this bad if u dont belive me ask courtny janik she has seen my heart things ask matt arneson he has see me also

I'm a big video game fan and especially keen on Xbox and Xbox 360 (ever since the Dreamcast passed away R.I.P.) and spend a fair ammount of time on the forums over at www.xbox.com. As with any forum there is plenty of complaining and whinging about anything and everything.

The biggest complaints are from people having to wait for content and updates. Now it might just be that I have lived through Spectrum gaming where you could go out and play football while you waited for your game to load or it might be that I'm getting older and can't be bothered to complain like they seem to. At the end of it though people want things yesterday and if they don't get it they'll do nothing but complain. Now this isn't just limited to Xbox forums and extends to our lifestyles now where everything has to be available now and if it isn't then there is hell to pay.
Why can't people just realise that things will happen when they happen. Most things have a reason behind why they take time and are usually business/legal/quality related. Yeah they could give you what you are after but do you want it to break within 5 minutes or be under cooked or to be wrong etc.
SLOW DOWN!!! The World isn't going anywhere and if you don't slow down you'll find that nature has its own way of slowing you down when you get so stressed about waiting more than 5 minutes for whatever you are waiting for.

My Blog: Just typing
By: iskatetoo


had about a week with no riding.
 
 the weather has changed for the worst. we started out with mad snow and it looked like we were going to have great season but, mother nature seems to have abandoned us. we haven't gotten any new snow to speak of in about a month and the spring came in mid January. we thought we were getting that one week of nice sunshine and warm temps, then it turned to a month and a half of it. it seems that we a re cutting into that 110 inch base that we had and it is only February. at this rate i don't know how we are going to make it to July, (oh poor us we may only have to ride till June). it seems the comp season that should be in full swing is almost stagnant, no one wants to ride slushy pipe with crumbling walls or 60 footers with sloppy lips and rutted landings.
 
good news! i am moving to Peru for a few weeks then to Argentina in the summer (it's great to have a wife from south America) so i get to ride all year long. come back here for next season all ready to hit the comp season with no down-time to cool off.
 
this is my blog so i do have the right to rant now and then and now is one of those times.
 
this is about corporate America. to be specific, advertising. have you ever just been watching the tube when a commercial comes on with music in the background of a  band that a bunch of money grubbing, exploiting, sons of bitches should never even know about?the latest exploitation in this long list is "THE KING", yes boys and girls BURGER KING.
    now before i go on i want to let all you kiddos know that i am not talking out my ass. i myself for a short time was a member of the corporate rat race. class of 1997 Penn state masters in business administration focusing in advertising, (my head is hung in shame). if you watch the tube at all you know about "THE KINGS" latest marketing campaign. using the retro big headed king suit from the 70's to try to get the baby boomer peoples coming back to "THE KING". they give out the vid games with the big head king to the gen"Y"  kiddos to get them to come in. now, now, those f*cking chicken hawks have gone after the gen"x"ers (thats my generation). paying off, (or even buying the rights from the record label I'm not sure) the "Violent Femmes". now it might now be seen as a big deal to a lot of people, but you have to realize when this song was written (1988) it wasn't even allowed to be played on college radio stations because of other songs on the album. do you  see the irony in this? but wait, lets take a look back at what has been done in the  past few years to make you dislike songs and bands that are great or even good just because it has gone main stream. 2002 Garnier using the Transplants, 1999 Nintendo using the butt hole surfers, 1997 Nintendo using the dead milkmen, 2000 - today Sony using anything off any tony hawk poop skaters video game. my point is this. if a company or business needs to use song and dance to make peoople come to their stores and or restaurants then their products probably arent good. so by buying into their sterotyping and image that if you buy their products or eat thier food you will be cool and unique you are actually falling into croud of the lemmings headed for the cliff. do youself and our nation a favor, STOP BUYING INTO CORPORATE RULE. THINK FOR YOURSELFS AND DICTATE THAT YOU DECIDE WHAT YOU BUY, AND NO AMOUNT OF DECEIPT AND LIES IS GOING TO DECIDE WHERE YOU SPEND YOU MONEY.
 
 
 
    kids get off you fat asses and learn to skate don't play it. do you understand that when you play skating you make it football. i helped make skating what it is today by buying boards, braking bones, and sitting in my driveway practicing tricks for hours on end, even a amature sponsorship for a few years. by turning it into a sport you are killing what we all did. oh well we're killing the earth so you will have no place to breath, paybacks a bitch.

Since this is our first blog on here reffering to the Scoff Project. I feel I will have to go throught the history with you all.
We came up with an idea "Wouldn't it be great to build the largest skate ramp in town?" ha And since that we have gather wood from a fellow super-intendent who practically provided us will all the plyood we neede to build this project and some. We were going to build a 8ft launch ramp with a rollin in height of 13-15ft and 2-3ft wide. We estimate you will hit the bottom between 20-30 mph and be shot at least 12ft high into the air.
We are planning on making a documentry of the building of the mini-mega ramp and show everything that all went into the thought about it. Expected to be released June 2007.
 
 
 So let the construction began...
in the beginigng
 Just about to lay the ply
 
We would build the sections of the ramp and haul them out to the back where we had a levy to support roll-in.The walk was about 2 acres or just a about 1 football field length.
From the hill
 Top view of the ramp, with first part of the runway attached
 
Soon after building the next 2 runway peices we realized that they would be to skinny and need to widen them incase of speed wobbles became an issue. We don't want people getting thrown down hill slaming into theground. We want them getting thrown up the ramp! A week later we widen the runway another 1.5 ft - 2ft and started work on the roll-in.

Side view of ramp w/ the skinny runway
 
Now the roll-in was probally the trickiest and hardest part of this whole project, cause of it having to custom fit to the side and top of the levy and remain level.
 Scoff rollin
 The Roll-in underconstruction
 
We had to custom build every peice of ply to fit the levy the best we could and still go flush with the rest of the run. That was very difficult. When we finally got it built there was a small problem with it getting flush with the rest of the run and its started to rain and freeze over the night. So we had to bring the whole 12ft long roll-in back to the house to be rebuilt and worked on. After the freeze was easing off we took the tarp off the ramp and started back to work.
 
We got all the peices assmbled and connected, then work on making sure the rollin was flowing with the rest of the run. 2 days later its finshed. Not to you all we only spent $30 on this whole project so far!!! Next month we will overlap it with masonitte.
 
-Latest update-
So then after building it over a period of 3 weeks its done. The last day of assembling the ramp was the hardest. Mainly because the rollin (which is 12ft long) ran into some problems and we had to make sure it connected just right with the track.

I even manage to loose control of it while moving it and slide half way down the hill. None the less I got quite a few slivers, scrapes and sore neck to boot. Well here you go the finall photos of the finished ramp.

Expected test runs will happen this saturday.
Rob a clovis local and friend of mine will be the brave soul to first launch from the ramp to FLAT! Yes you heard it, to flat! Why him and not me you ask...Well he has better health insurance. lol We are launching to flat to determine how large the gap is and then build the landing bank in that position for a true big air manueuver. Once the ramp is fully finished we will schedule a date and take the ramp apart and rebuild it all in hopefully one day. The whole day will be recorded and editied for the upcoming video(THE SCOFF PROJECT - Building a Monster), the next months will be used to capture footage of local and visiting skaters performing their own insane stunts and bails.

Also check out our website Scoff Skateboarding for an exclusive photo of the ramp and the builder and see how big it really is. Photo to be released on website by 1-18-07

My name is Braden. I'm 15, I'm in the 10th grade. I play football, I wrestle, and I run track. I'm not a goth, or a skater, or emo. I have mainly 'redneck' friends, but most people consider me as a jock. I don't want to make myself sound smarter than I am, by explaining this or typing this way, it's just how I do it. I have a beautufil girlfriend, whom I love very much, and I have a supportive family. I may not fit the critique of this website, but that really doesn't bother me. I consider myself a National Socialist Skinhead, in that I believe that National Socialism is the best of many possible forms of government, but in no way does that affect my decication and loyalty to my country and government. I merely believe that everyone in a society should contribute equally, but not in a Communistic sense. I consider myself a Skinhead, for lack of better term, because that applies to me. I do not hate minorities or non-Whites, per se, I just have a paternal love for my own race. That love and devotion extends to me defending that race against incursions, thusly earning the title of Skinhead. You may think I'm retarded for thinking this way, and I may be, that's not for anyone to say. If you have any questions about me, just ask.

So i was standing at the football game lastnight and realized that we only have the rest of this year and next year and then its all over. No more friday night games, no more having to be at school every day. nothing like that. The closer it gets, the more i dont want it to come. I remember thinking about how much i couldnt wait for the end to come, and now i wish i was back in kindergarden. Things are so easy right now, if you fall on your face there are people there to pick you back up. Once its over, if you fall on your face you are the only one there.

I guess the whole idea is to cherish what you have and not let a day go by unnoticed... It is still alot to think about though!

My Blog: like omg its me
By: Czeski


 enjoy long strolls through the park under the stars. I have no kids... LOL!... Yo! What's up? I'm Kel-c! Not KELSEY or KELSIE or KELSY or KELSE or KELCEY or KELCIE or KELCI but KEL-C. Now that my name is out of the way. I'm 14 almost *15* yay! My birthday is October 27th. My LIP is PIERCED... Um, I guess you can say that I have a lot of friends but I think I have a lot of acquaintances, JUST KIDDING! Yeah, I have enough friends to be happy! Some of my bestest friends are: Jessi, Danica, Steph and Alanna! I've known JESSI since 5th grade! She moved to T-Water from Italy(she's really from America, her mom was in the army...I think) and we've been friends ever since. I met DANICA the first time I sat in the back of bus 22 on my way to school (Horizon). I went to sit in the back with my brother Chris and all his "cool" high school friends! Danica and I have stayed soo close! ALANNA is my only close friend that IS NOT in the same grade as me. I had a crush on her but then I started to like someone else(Steph). Anyway be became friends at the first school dance of 2006. She got me stoned! What are friends for? She's really cool, so what now bitch??? Okay, last, I have STEPH(*myhiddeniloveyoumessage*). "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada is our song! I've known her for the least amount of time of all my three main friends. Um, we DID NOT get along at all, at first. But then we got to know each other. Well lets just say that on our way back from EMP we kinda sorta hooked up(well actually at the dance that same day). We are still pretty close friends and I hope we can stay friends as long as I have been with Jessi! <3 I love MUSIC <3. Yes, I am a BAND GEEK. I play *trumpet*. I'm okay at it haha. I am totally RANDOM at times. I have blue eyes that turn different colours(I like colour better then color). I'm kinda sorta outgoing but I can be super SHY! I'll listen to all types of music. But my favourite band would have to be... THE WAYS TO DEDICATE(Local band). I have three brothers, CHRISTOPHER(Chris, Carpet or Bro)*18*, TIMMY(Timmay, Tim or FAG) *12* and JUSTIN(Lil J) *8*. I'm a huge fan of the show HOUSE. I have one pet. His name is FEZ(like from "That 70's Show). He's cool! I go to the hick school of Washington, Nooksack Valley. Green Day totally rock, but only their old stuff! You can say that I'm smart but I do have my RETARD moments(a lot). I drink sometimes. Vodka rocks! I DON'T SMOKE... anything that isn't green! Uh, my favourite colour would have to GREEN because it just is. I love the Calgary Flames(Hockey), Seattle Seahawks(Football) and any LACROSSE team! I am very "strange" at times. I love to be around my friends. My movie would have to be "The Butterfly Effect"(It's just cool). My favourite quotes/phrases are "Fear the Spork, Gummy Bears Are Taking Over The World, You are: Online, and currently: Masturbating!, Fear Me, I'm Russian" and "I'm BISEXUAL, so I MUST be looking at you!" I love math, only because it's super easy! I hate people that think they are better then everyone else and religious people that try to shove their beliefs down my throat! My biggest FEAR is dying alone or losing all the people I love. I know how to say "I love you" in at least four different languages(Russian: I doune ye; German: Ich Liebe Dich; Spanish: Te Amo; English: I love you). If you think you're cool but you can't name at least FIVE friends then you ARE NOT cool! If you think you’re my FRIEND. You might want to double check with me. Oh yeah one more thing: DON'T f*ck WITH ME! I WILL GET YOU BACK AND BAD TOO! Damn this is soo LONG so I'm going to end this with a "Kthanksforstoppingbygood-bye!." One more thing, I AM A ROYAL BITCH but only if you piss me off! My nickname is even "The Russian Bitch." So, Kthanksforstoppingbygood-bye!

 

Peace Out!

 

<3 Kel-c <3

My Journal: good ideas
By: cementbetty


So for breakfast today I had licorice.
And then for lunch I had chips.
Thus far, getting fat is ridiculously awesome.
Now all I have to do is decide whether to find me a disgustingly huge man
when I go out partying tonight, or whether it's time to consider celibacy.

Hmmm....celibacy... 
I actually hate trying to be healthy.
Despite that though, I try so hard to buy things (....yeah okay, I get my
mom to buy things) that are good for me; fruit, granola, blah blah blah.
And then I proceed to eat popcorn and bagels all day. Don't look at me,
I'm hideous!
I also try and exercise....and by exercise, I mean convincing myself that
the walk from my house to the bus stop is actually half a kilometer (ie.
half a block).
So anyways, today while I was sitting at work eating stale French Fries
that I bought approximately two and a half weeks ago, I decided that I'm
not going to try and take care of myself at all anymore. That's right: I'm
going to let myself become morbidly obese.

So now that I've decided to become a heffer, I think that it's time to start..
uh, broadening my dating pool.
I mean, the only thing better than sitting
on the couch with one bucket of chicken is sitting on the couch with
an equally massive man and three buckets of chicken.
Maybe I'll start making eyes at the "fluffy" guys at the bar *nods*

And it'll be cool, because everyone knows that fat guys are nicer. Unless,
of course, he's one of those fat men who was born big boned, and
therefore angry at the world. And regularily shakes his fist at the open sky
(which is always a good indicator of an angry person).
Or....maybe he used to be hot, but then he like broke his leg at football
practice and had to join the chess club, making him angry at the world
as well as a little depressed.
OR! Maybe he was a fat kid who joined the football team to lose weight,
and then just as he was about to reach his Goal Weight and get his
picture put up on Jenny Craig's Wall of Success Stories he got blindsided
and broke his leg, joined the chess club, and killed four of his fellow students.
Ooh, a badass *rubs face in thought*


....
I really need to find some money and leave my house immediately.
My brain is going to give out.
