So. It’s Christmas day today, and it turns out, today was no ordinary Christmas. Our power went out at 1:30 this morning… it it didn’t come back on till about 9:00. Totally awesome, right. Not really. Actually, it kind of blew. But hey, life isn’t perfect, is it. Nope. I didn’t think so. Anyways, once that got all sorted out, we ate… which was good, then we opened presents. I got all sorts of good things. A new iPod. Cloths. Video Games. All that stuff that I wanted and asked for. I guess the one thing that was the nicest was being able to spend some awesome time with the family… tonight, we’ll be having dinner, and then we are going to go see a movie. I think that the day will be a good one.
So. What did you get? Did you get all that you wanted, I hope you did. I don’t know what you think the point of Christmas is… but I hope that it was everything that you thought it was going to be today. I’m going to give a shout out to all the people that told me Merry Christmas.

Alright. That’s all for now….
God. There’s so much stuff out there, isn’t there. All sorts of it. Music. TV. Jobs. School. All of it. All the activites that we are involved in. So much stuff that takes away the time in our lives. I think sometimes that we don’t realize how precious that the time we have is. Especially us as teenagers, *coughkidscough*. All we do is go, go, and then go some more. Me personally. I have so much going on. Mondays I have shooting. Tuesdays, Scouts and youth group and work. Wednesdays, Youpromote and youth group. Thursdays, Civil Air Patrol. Fridays, work. Saturdays, work. Sundays, work. Then you add school in there on top of it all and all I do is go go go like no tomarrow. I know alot of people out there that have lives just like mine. All they do is do stuff. And that’s the problem. It’s just stuff. Some of it will never help them out in the long run. That’s what I like about my schedule. All or most of it is going to affect the rest of my life. How is it that we know what we need to be doing, and what we think we need to be doing. There is a big difference between those two options I just said.
1. We need to be doing it. IE school. We need it. You can’t do anything in life without it. It’s just one of those facts that we will never be able to get around.
2. We think we need to be doing it. IE work. Do 14/15 year-olds really need jobs? Is there a point to it. They should be out there enjoying their lives. I know me as a 16 almost 17 year-old person, wants a job, and it will help me out in the rest of my life. But do those people just a year younger than me really need a job, or is it just a way for parents not to have to deal with their kids… I really don’t know.
Sometimes I wonder who it is that says we need to have certain things. Like we need to have the latest game system. And by needing to have that, you need to have the latest game to go with it. We need to have the newest and coolest car. We need to have the best clothing ever. Why, do we let someone, someone we don’t even know, tell us what is cool, what is hot, what we need. We shouldn’t do that. But why? Why do we? I really don’t know. It’s really not what life is all about. I think that’s why people have turned life into though. And that’s not cool. It’s not cool at all. We need to stand up. We need to stand up and rise agianst what life has turned into. We need to turn life into what we want. What we need. Not what someone else wants for us. But what we want for ourselves. Maybe I’m optamistic that someone out there will read this and actually agree with me, but I don’t think so. I think that someone is going to read this and it will change the way that they think about the way that they are living their life. So take my advice. Live your life. And live it the way that you want to live it. Otherwise, what have you got? Nothing. Trust me. You will have nothing.

Hello all. How are you? Going about life in a somewhat good manner I hope. Are you having a good day? Is everythigng going fine for you? Listen to any new songs lately? Or read a good book? What about all the weather that’s been going on lately?
Well. I’ve been okay. Nothing special. But not crap either. So that’s good. I havn’t been up to all that much, which is really nice. Usually I’m just going all out. And this week was kind of nice, except for the power being out the other day, but that’s the reason I wasn’t all that bussy. So I’m not going to complain about the fact that I had now internet, TV, heat, or any of that. There were people that had it much worse than me. The weather has been pretty sketchy around here. Ice. Snow. Wind. A whole load of bad stuff. Well not the snow. The snow helps the skiing. So the snow is nice. Oh. I got a job at Gunstock. I don’t think that I said that before. I’m a ski instructor for the little kids. I’m sure that it’s going to be fun. I don’t know how much time I am going to have for it. But I’m sure that it’s going to all work out. I got a a free season pass out of the deal.
CAP is going good. We had a little mix up of the staff. My First Sarge is now my XO so that will ease up on some of the work that me and my DC have to do. That’s going to be nice. Although it was more of the work that I was doing, because my DC isn’t doing all that much at the moment. But hey. What ever. It’s life. I’m an officer. I do what needs to get done, right? Right. That’s what I thought. Over the weekend a couple of cadets from my squadron and myself went and helped out at a Wreaths Across America thing. That was pretty neat. All though it was freggin cold. We were right on the water. And the wind. I’m sure that added to it… by alot.
YouPromote is going good as well. Hopefully i will be hired soon. that would be really really nice. (:
Well that’s all for now.
I havn’t written on here in a few days.. and for that I appologize, I try and write something every other day, I don’t really know if anyone fallows what I say, but yeah, that’s what I try to do. And I appologize for not keeping up. Anyways, I havn’t been up to all that much. I had an Honor Guard performance for CAP today, it went all right. We didn’t have the people that I would havel liked, but I am really proud of the people that were there. They did an awesome job. I also went rock climbing with the scouts. That was alot of fun. I climbed like.. idk. 85 feet. Pretty sweet. Other than that I havnt’ been up to a lot. Got a job at Gunstock..
So yeah. there’s my update. sorry it’s not long.

Okay. So. I was listening to the radio today… I think it was Rush Limbah or something. The guy was talking about the election, and Palin, and the next election. It started off as a conversation with someone on how Palin may of may not be ready to be President, and then it transitioned to what makes a good candidate, and what makes a good President. And it’s so true. Obviously, in this last election, Oboma, was the greater of the two candidates, he made himself more popular, and he won. But is he going ot be a good President, we don’t know. To get somewhere, you have to sell yourself. That’s what we have all turned life into, I think, selling ones self to get to a goal. He wanted to Presidency, he got it. And the reason that he did was because he sold himself to all the people that voted for him.
Anyways. I was just thinking about that. Maybe it’s not really all that relevent to life or anything. But I think it is. So there. You get my thoughts on that matter.
I got my license today. Yay me. They guy that took me and and was the examiner, was not happy at all.. so he prolly marked me off for more than he needed to. What ever. It really doesn’t matter. I got my license, which is the important thing. Now I can drive and go places. Haha. Stupid NH, I can only have one person that isn’t family with me. That only last for six months though. So I’ll be rid of that soon enough.
Anyways. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
