Summer

Well its summer again. The worst part of the year for me. However this year is turning out a lot better than most. I have accomplished a lot this summer already in the two months that have passed since school got out. I have kinda made plans for my life after I finish school and my mission. I have also talked to the most kind, generous and beautiful girl (I talk to Brianna almost everyday) a lot this summer and I hope I am not making a nuisance of myself which I probably am but still... With all the hub bub of summer I still can not wait till school starts again. I need a definite schedule. lol. But I am glad that I have these months to completely erase all the knowledge from my brain that has been "installed" into it during the school year. I have noticed that I have become less about politics and more about religion a tiny little bit. Now this does not mean I wont fight with you about politics but I don't bring up political matters as much anymore.

My Anger

Its official, I have serious anger management problems. maybe I am just crazy. I talked to my bishop and I am bitter, angry, and vengeful. Among other things. But my anger is the worst part. The only thing I guess I can do to help myself would be patient. I will have to try and help myself by making myself numb to the junk that is thrown at me. I need to not respond. It hurts but that is the only thing I can do.

A Haircut

Every Adult I know thinks I should cut my hair. They think it is to long. But I decided I wanted to know what everybody else thinks. these are pictures that my mom took of my hair cut so yeah... i actually like the haircut. It looks like MacGyver's haircut. My mom always says that she thinks MacGyver is hot. I almost get worried because she is married. But my dad is not worried so I dont worry. But I just want to know what other people think.

An Interesting Month Full of Hope and Prayers

Well some of you may know that my dad went to the hospital again and lost another foot or so of his leg. The aftermath and struggles that my family has gone through has been very interesting. It was just one thing after another. The stitches ripped and then he had a bleeding artery and then he almost died several times and it just goes on. But we hope that we are done with this whole health problems for a few years or so. (Give or take a hundred years or so. ) But now my dad is in a rehabilitation center while he gets used to having only one half of one leg and one quarter of the other leg. But thanks to all the prayers and fasting my dad is healing faster than the doctors and medical professionals thought he would and should be home in a few weeks. I would like to thank you all for your prayers and fasting. It has really helped.

My life as an Amphibian.

If you were lucky enough to be invited to view my bestest friend in the world’s blog you notice that for “OTHER SPARKLES IN MY LIFE” she has Uncle Karl, Froggy, and MOMMY. When you click on Froggy you are redirected to my blog. I feel I must explain. I was talking to Lea on the phone a couple months back and she was being her crazy and hyper self which I have no problem of. She was having trouble hearing me clearly. That’s what happens when you try to talk to someone who is a couple hundred thousand miles away. Anyway, I told her that I was getting some peach fuzz on my chin for a beard sort of thing. Somehow she heard something about a pink frog. The nickname kind of stuck after a while so now she knows me as Froggy or Pink Froggy. It is really interesting the things that get lost somewhere out in space when you are talking to someone on the phone.

What kind of pie???!!!

For all those who don’t know him, my grandpa on my dad’s side; also called Bob or Robert and even Grumpy; is good with food. He made a pie for Thanksgiving Day that might help illustrate this point. Instead of making a regular boring old pumpkin or lemon meringue pie, he created the best tasting pie I have ever had. The main ingredient though is really shocking. The main ingredient is none other than mans favorite fruit, The famous Pinto Bean. When my dad first told me about it a week or so before I was revolted. A pie made out of pinto beans? It did not sound appetizing to me at the time before I had even tasted it. I went through the week dreading Thanksgiving Day. Then unfortunately it came all to soon. My dad told me that I could not go to bed until I had some Pinto Bean Pie. I grudgingly took the first bite. Needless to say that I had been wrong about what I thought the pie was going to taste like. Also I don’t need to say that I scarfed the rest of my piece of pie down. My brother, who had been excited about the pie, surprisingly did not like it. So I got to eat the rest of his piece too. It was so good. Don’t tell my dad this but I am glad that he made me try a piece.

Zabmondo!! Would You Rather...?

My dad and I were listening to Glenn Beck like we usually do and he advertised a new game from Zobmondo as part of a new line of games meant to inspire the combination of deep abstract thought and humor. Tonight for Family Home Evening we played it. It was interesting. What it is, is a card/board game combination. You read a line off a card and then the family discusses the question. For example: "Would you rather as a man, have your grandmother's first name-OR- her hair cut?" It poses a dilemma. It does not really have a correct answer. You can find it at Walmart of other stores. You should really buy it. It is awesome. I recommend it to anyone. It is in a Swirly colorful box. It is funny to watch the family in a way bicker back an forth about the issues. It is better than watching a amature political debate between two people who are not politicians. It is great
