• Apr. 20, 2008 - Riot (def): A sudden outburst of uncontrolled emotion.
Posted By Christian
I thought about making up some wild story to explain my latest injury, but I'm too tired. xD So if you're under the impression that you're going to get a harrowing tale of woe like the baseball chronicles of last year, you can forget it.
The straight and narrow of it: I fell.
Me!
Perilous fisherman adventurer!
-Sigh-
I wasn't entirely to blame, however. I was involved in a game of 'Protect the President', which is a variation of dodgeball. For those of you that have never played it, the rules are somewhat like this: the 'president' is surrounded by a group of people, all of whom are trying to hit him/her. The catch is that the president has a protector. The protector can get hit without consequences, while the president is out if he/she gets hit. The protector, then, tries to block the balls as they are thrown.
I was employed as a protector. My president and I were doing a very well, until a leader threw the dodgeball at the president's feet. Competent bodyguard that I am, I went down to block it. At the same time, however, the president jumped out of the way of the ball, tripping me. I fell, my left leg twisting to the side. Doctor's verdict: Type 1 ripped tendon. (Type 1 is better than type 2 or 3, by the way.)
This is the president/culprit:

• Feb. 27, 2008 - It is time. xD
Posted By Christian
Months, is it? Quite a while. 'Extended leave', I call it.... xP
Anyway, here I am. No broken bones, not even a twisted ankle. What am I to write about?
I should probably introduce a new blogger first. My very good friend Lauri is now PrettyInPunk of HSB. =D Please welcome her, all of you that still come by here and read this. www.homeschoolblogger.com/PrettyInPunk. Cha.
And, I have a new favorite band. Paramore. Please pardon me if I rant about them any, I don't mean to. =P
This picture I have stolen from Sami, but she won't mind..... or if she does, I'll give her some oreos. Fair trade.

• Oct. 17, 2007 - Reflection....
Posted By Christian
I'm happy to say that I've been awarded the blogger reflection award by LadyJaneGrey, a fantastic blogger who you should go check out. :) (www.homeschoolblogger.com/castleonacloud).

I don't really know the rules of this, but it seems I get to award it to some worthy people. So, here goes my list of bloggers who are (somewhat) serious (at times), reflective, and whose writing is a blessing to read.
BookFreak: (www.homeschoolblogger.com/BookFreak) You have a quiet thoughtfulness that communicates itself very well on your blog, and I'm often struck with your deep ideas and huge heart for the Lord.
Soccergal: (www.homeschoolblogger.com/soccergal) I admire your unaltered honesty. You also have a very Godly view of life, an example of which I'm taking from one of your posts. "Our church has suffered a huge loss but God will use that in a way I cannot even imagine." That is biblical truth at its finest.
TC: (www.homeschoolblogger.com/TC) Although you have probably received this award (and others) more times then I can count, I really wanted to give it to you. HSB lost a huge part of itself when you left, and I think most of HSB's population will agree with me. Good luck wherever you go.
SouthernBelle: (www.homeschoolblogger.com/SouthernBelle) As I was looking through your posts, I realized that not only had you already received this award, but you had also given it to me. I'm really sorry I didn't see that before. You have been an awesome best friend, and your leaving has also hurt HSB immensly. Rock on.
Hopeful: (www.homeschoolblogger.com/hopeful) You're a very encouraging person, and I never leave your blog with a sense of unhappiness. Keep on loving Jesus in all that you do.
KJo101: (www.homeschoolblogger.com/KJo101) Kristen, you're a really fun person who is incredibly gifted at writing. Time to get another entry up, mi'girl! ;)
If I had the time, there are many more people who deserve this award. Just because I didn't mention you on this short list doesn't mean I haven't been blessed by your words.
In Him, Fisher |

• Aug. 14, 2007 - Wow, it's been awhile....
Posted By Christian
Okay, you can stop whining at me now, I'm posting.... =P
So, New York City was awesome. It's a completely different world up there, being (of course) in Yankee territory. Do you know most people in New York don't have a car? Or if they do, they use it sparingly? I dunno about you, but we couldn't survive without at least one car. Dad couldn't get to work, we couldn't get food, ect. Up there, you usually either walk or take the subway. Everything's so tall, too. Your best friend wouldn't be on the other side of the neighborhood, or a few houses down, he/she would be a few floors up. Also, there's NO GRASS. The only place I went through the entire week that had space to throw a football was Central Park, and there's fifty billion people walking through there every day. Being an outdoors-y type guy who likes to play sports, I started to get this itch to run. Just run somewhere, anywhere, as fast I could. Most likely, you can't relate to that and are wondering why I'm so weird, but perhaps you can. Of course, you can't run in New York, not only because there's no space, but because there's so many people in the way.
Our project while we were up there was to renovate this tiny three-room government housing apartment a Bronx slum. Eight people were trying to live in this little dirty hovel. It would probably bore you to give all the details of what we did, but we turned that place upside down. Paint, furniture, tiles, cleaning, we turned it into the best apartment in the place. Considering we only had a little over $5,000 to do it with, we, Pastor Dimas, and (most of all) God accomplished a miracle.
Here's a few pictures taken by Mom:
This was in the lobby of one of the Word Trade Center buildings when the terrorists hit. Notice the real grass around it. =D

This is the famous Grand Central Station.

One of many awesome churches in NYC, except this is the one from National Treasure.

The Empire State Building. (Though we worked in a Bronx slum, we stayed at a downtown Manhattan apartment building two blocks away from this huge landmark.)

Our team and the family we helped. The family is in the middle.

• Jul. 3, 2007 - Does anyone ever actually connect the title with the entry?
Posted By Christian
Am I writing too many entries for y'all? =P
So, my All-Star team finished in the top two in the District tourny, so we get to go compete at state. :) Happyness. If you've read my blog at all, you know how mad I was at missing so much of the season, and this will help me catch up on baseball. :) I can use it as an excuse, too, having baseball every day of the week makes it hard to get on the computer and post when I usually have the most time.... ;)
And NO, I have not broken any bones lately. Summer incidents have been confined to little things like our vaccum cleaner exploding. (We now have a new, PURPLE, vaccum cleaner, which has so many odds and ends that I can never figure out what hooks on to what. You can't even touch the thing without hose add-ons falling off, or cleaning pipes coming out of place. I think it was designed to vaccum up anything in the house, from speck of dirt, to my little brother. xD)
That's it for now, folks, tune in NEXT month for the newest edition.

• Jun. 13, 2007 - Florida!!!!
Posted By Alex
Hey everyone i am now writing a blog!!!!!
Florida was fun. I know that i am writing this like a month after i got back but i keep trying and i get interrupted and whatever. so now i am writing it.
We went to Disney and spent 5 days and 6 nights there. 1st day we were there it was too late to go to a park so we ate at TGIF and went to play mini-golf. I think my 5 year old brother actually won.
2nd Day we went to the magic kingdom and did all the stuff in there 2 or 3 times. the reason we did it 2 or 3 times is because it was me and my friend mike and we weren't doing all the kiddie shows so we would go on the coasters and water rides 2 or 3 times.
3rd day we went to Epcot for only half a day but still had alot of fun
4th day we went to MGM Studios and did Rockin' Roller Coaster 5 times and tower of terror 6 times
5th day we went to animal kingdom and actually did alot of stuff. We went to the rainforest cafe for lunch and then went to downtown disney to do alittle shopping.
then we hung out at the hotel for almost the rest of the time.
now that i have written this i am gonna go get songs on iTunes
talk to yall later |

• May. 15, 2007 - Who's ready for summer break? =D
Posted By Christian
So, as it turned out, I did end up watching Spiderman 3. It was a bit weird not knowing his past, but the movie was really cool. I liked Harry.... poor guy. And, I have another question. Spidey is always swinging through the city, but how come there aren't spiderwebs hanging all over the place. I mean, he shoots the web, swings, then lets go and shoots another web, but where does the discarded strand go? It just disappears somehow, I guess.... Oh, and Peter looked cool when he turned emo. ;)
I thought the ending was really indecisive. Are they thinking about making another one? It didn't seem like a good final, to me.
And, a bit of good news, I made All-Stars in baseball, which is awesome considering I didn't get to play most of the games. I've been amazingly injury-free lately....
Guess where I get to go tomorrow.... the Endodontist! Freaky guy. I'll tell you this, if you wanna get rich, become an endodontist. Dr. Garabedian works two days a week, and he has really tall prices. Huge prices. It's like, for example, trying to fill up our suburbans huge 45-gallon tank with gas. You know what I mean.... =P
By the way, I think I'd like to kill the dude who created orthodontic rubber bands. These things are pure torture. |

• May. 7, 2007 - "....and every evening he'd say, 'Good night Wesley, sleep well, I'll most likely kill you in the morning'...."
Posted By Christian
Well, I expect to start writing entries on a more regular basis, now, since the Baron's season ended with last weekend's Huntsville tournament. We were league champions, and finished with a 26-win 2-loss record. All thanks to me, of course. Not.
Lemme see, what other news.... Oh yeah, guess what I made on a math quiz a few days ago? 66%. That's an F. Not so good.... ;) But hey, the quiz only had three problems to start with, so missing that single one took the percent down quite a lot. =D
I heard Arachnidman 3 was having record sales, any of y'all seen it yet? I haven't, and don't expect to, but tell me what you think if you've been. You know, I always wondered how in his transformation into Spidey, his spiderweb could come out of his hands, instead of doing it like a real spider would. It's rather obvious why they don't do it that way, but they never explain it.... xD Also, does his suit have holes in the hands so web can shoot out? It didn't look like that.... I guess I should have actually watched some of the Spidey movies, maybe I'd understand it better that way. ;)
BTW, I listened to KJ-52 for the first time a few days back, and he was awesome. My favorite song is 'Dear Slim', I think he did a great job standing up to the kind of rap that Eminem was putting out. :)
EDIT: Thanks to Anonymous Girl for helping me out with the title.... =D |

• Apr. 24, 2007 - I bet y'all didn't know I was an avid North Carolina State Wolfpack fan....
Posted By Christian
I went to a GA Tech vs. NC State baseball game this past sunday. It was almost like watching a major-league game, those guys were so big. NC state lost, unfortunately, but they had a pair of long homeruns. It was cheap too, the most expensive seats were $10, a far cry from the $50+ it would take to get a first class seat at a major-league game.
As I was watching these huge guys smash 400 foot homeruns, I realized that I would be in college in just over three years. That's a pretty scary thought....
I'll just say this. If I really want to play college baseball, I'm gonna have to grow a whole lot bigger. 
I also had my root canals this week. Twas a not fun experience, involving drilling holes in my teeth, shots, scraping nerves out, and trying to answer silly questions the whole time. I will give it to them though, because they numbed my mouth up really well, and it barely hurt. :)
Of course, if you don't like ground-up tooth dust all in your mouth, that would be another con.  |
