Whats up my home dawgs? Well, for those of you who doubted me...boo ya! we just got our 7th straight win today...were 8-1-1.... we just won all 4 games in a row this week... The first game was against st maurs on wednesday which was a bad game which was why i was in a bad mood...but we won 2-1. The Thursday wasnt the best game either, but i opened up the scoring in the 2nd half with another goal off of deverys throw in! yesterday it was scoreless against edgren until 5 minutes before the end of the game where a corner got knocked back and I got an assist from Gambles goal...then 3 minutes later i got another assist...close game...scared me. And then today we played EJ King....5-2 win...2 assists....bad refereeing though....pretty bogus...but regardless...were on a roll...next challenge is to take CAJ at their home...and by the way...they havent been beaten at home....EVER....so this will definately be a challenge.....it will either send me to shorebreak bummed...or sooooooo happppy!!!! I will not shut up if we win........this is my dream!
peace bros.

Word
Alright guys, so I just had to come here and say less about whats been going on the past few days, and more about whats been going through my head lately.
Sometimes we dont feel secure enough in ourselves. Feeling like we cant make a difference, we shouldnt worry about how we behave because it wont affect anyone in the long run, or even monitoring the thoughts running through our heads. Throughout my entire walk of faith Ive been taught time and time again that I need to set a good example. Especially lately Ive been feeling irritable and things have been getting to me lately, but i try to keep them inside to get things from escalating, and let me tell you, its NOT easy. I have to constantly watch myself in order to make sure Im doing what I should be doing, sometimes I can achieve that, and others, I crash and burn.
Lately, Ive had several people come to me to ask me advice, or not even asking it, but saying something that I believe I should assist with. And lately through some of this Ive definately realized that all people were not raised on the same values, or in the same way as I am, which makes everything all the bit more difficult. I try to impose the way that I think of situations on people that dont nearly have the same perspectives as me, which turns into some conflict, but through learning how to control myself and teaching myself how to handle these situations I think improvment is imminent.
Some people over the course over the past year have mentioned how they respect me, or even to the point that they look up to me, sort of as a role model. This makes me more self conscious of both my behavior and what I say in front of other people. Several times ive been asked on surveys what the greatest feeling is, and that is definately a hard one, but the feeling of knowing that youve made a difference in someones life to some degree ranks at the top. I love helping people out and making differences in their lives, I just hope that throughout my walk with God I learn how to make more and more positive impacts.
On a less deep side note, we have a soccer game coming up on Friday at 5:30 against the GW, so come out and watch. Ill try to keep game updates for you guys.

Valentines day, not just a cheap card holiday!
Holy cow, is that 3 good weekends in a row?! Well, today continued the tradition! It started with me going to Brittany's house to plan out my"V-day suprise". It ended up working well, ill try to post the basics....
around 11 i met Kaitlyn at her house, gave her the typical chocolates and a rose, then I serenaded her with my spotless performance of Fur Elise...ok, so it wasnt spotless, but im not Bethoven am I?! haha, well, after that, we started our walk offbase towards pepper lunch but we took a slight detour and walked to Mikasa park for "a nice walk", but we got to the end where the waterfall was and there just happened to be a white teddybear with a valentines balloon tied to it, holding a card with sweathearts spelling out "PROM?" on it...haha, luckily enough for me, she said yes, so i could enjoy the rest of my day, not like anything else mattered as much. After this we just hung out...Pepper Lunch, Sticky Pics, Mario Kart, Claw Machines (btw, i got 4 things with one coin!) then we just walked around, Kaitlyns balloon came untied and flew away, we got milkshakes...walked her home, got licked by her dogs...then she went to babysit. Great day...but its not over!
So then, i went to Maries house, Tressa, Leanna, and Brittany were there...so in honor of Valentines day we watched how to lose a guy in 10days. I have to admit, not my favorite, but it was funny. Then Bruce and Carla came over so we played "do you know your neighbor" where I made the top 3. then, Apples to Apples which was mega fun. Then I had to leave but it was great. Oh ya, to add the excitment I changed my algebra grade from an F to an A in one day! haha, well peace you guys, happy valentines day!

I just wanna sing!
Holy cow, I think im a considerably lucky guy...for two reasons. First of all, I have had two incredible weekends in a row. I know that ive only had a friday night for this weekend, but it was amazing. After only a half day of school...and messing around at the gym (ping pong), I went to Justins birthday part, which if you didnt know, he has THE BEST parties ever. It was casino themed and Shophie, Caitlin, Rachael, Ryan, his friend, Me, and Krievs were there, and there was everything from Guitar Hero, to Poker, to Roulette, to Go Fish, going on all over the room. We got to eat Mexican food...and ice cream! I played two games of poker, the first one I lost to Krievs who took home the grand prize of a remote control helicopter. However, the best part brings me to teh second reason that im a lucky guy. I have incredible stupid luck, I got out the second game, but Krievs had to leave so I took over his hand, and with the help of Ryan got lots of people to fork over loads of chips which i stole with stupid things like, pair of 5s, pair of twos....stuff like that! Then it got down to the last three...Me, Sean, and Rachael. Me and Rachael went all in and without looking at my cards I barely ended up winning, then Me and sean put it all in to end the night, and with my luck, i got a barely higher pair of cards...winning the whole pot. One thing is for sure, im not a good poker player, im just good luck. So i guess if your planning a trip to Vegas take me with you! Me and sean are already planning a trip! ....hmm....other than that, i discovered the song I'll Get Over It, by Everyday Sunday...it makes me feel happy, even though im already in good times, and its a break up song, it generally gives you the idea that everythings gonna work out in the future, dont sweat it!
Im feeling amazing right now, and I hope it lives on! LOVE YOU GUYS!

How Do You Describe Amazing?
Holy Cow! Today was probably the most incredible day in the entire world! I woke up this morning and was home alone, so I played NCAA 2004 Football on my PS2 to start off the day. Then a few of us decided to go run so I went into base and Me, Culik, Bruce, Brittany, and Marie all met up, and we started out our run joking around and recollecting memories from our cross country season. And let me tell you, usually I like to run, but when I can run with friends it is incredibly fun! Especially when me and Matt decide to race each other down the hill by Mores City...oh my gosh, it was incredible.
Then we got back to Maries house, and being like us, when Marie went to pick up her keys Me, Britt, and Bruce hid behind a wall, so when Marie came out she tried to act smooth and pretend not to care, and so when she actually saw us and we left our hiding spot she hid before we got around the corner, but she made one big mistake. She left her car unlocked! So while she was busy trying to hide, we climbed into her car and locked the doors...about 10 minutes later after her mom came home and saw us and marie was tired of trying to get in we made a magical discovery! Her keys were lying right smack dab in the middle of the car...so we started to drive off...just enough to freak her out, then we let her get back in.
But wait! Theres more! We all went to play soccer since Bruce made a deal with us, and Marie tagged along to study for her SATs with us *cough cough* and that was basically our chill period of the day...even though the whole day was like that...but ya, we actually improved Bruces kicking ability. He started only being able to kick the ball toeblowishly on the ground, and eventually we got him to be able to kick the ball upper 90 and even nutmeg Brittany...
Well....after this, we decided to take Marie closer to danger and play some Ping Pong at the gym. And just so you know, the day was so amazing that even though I went on a solid losing streak, it was totally amazing..i had so much fun! But I do get some credit though because I got the greatest point ever against Brittany, we were just bangin the ball back and forth until she sent the ball to the total opposite side of the table from me so I made an epic dive to the side and hit it perfectly to the opposite corner and she barely missed it! It was TOTALLY GREAT! So since Marie was paranoid of Mr Falk and the basketball team finding her in the gym, when me and Brittany dropped off the equipment we ran down saying "Marie, hide, Mr Falk is coming down the elevator!" She totally flipped out, but the greatest part was that the basketball team wasnt even practicing in that gym!
The next activity on our agenda was sitting in Brittanys brothers room and chilling...and let me say one thing...that room is so amazing! her bro has all sorts of remote control crap, like a helicopter and battling blow up robots! Then we started playing with these 100 yen fist hitterpuncher thingys...and for Marie and Bruce..."It's inadequate"...oh my gosh, AMAZING.
So then Carla, Patrick, Leanna, Tressa, and Jay came over and we played in insane game of Taboo...my first game, and probably one of the best...espcially when Maries on my team. Although i really liked my guess of "Suds" off of Brittanys clue of "When Spongebob gets sick he get the____", the best one was Bruces answer to Jay....Jay said "Blank, of a Blank" and was about to get the next card cause it was totally impossible when Bruce came out of nowhere and said "Birds of a Feather"...we were amazed...
Then unfortunately the day had to come to an end and I had to come home, but I did listen to Im Yours by Jason Mraz...which made me happier, and then I found out that hes even coming to Tokyo in February...my Day has been AMAZING! I wish I couldve shared this day with everybody, but all I can say is that the four of us have to go chill again sometime....AMAZING.
Peace guys, i love you all.

Drivers Ed
Whats up everyone? Its been about two weeks or so since my last post so I decided it was about time to update. Well, today was pretty much a half decent dissapointment, because on the negative side Im missing out on the youth skating trip in Yokohama...which I really wanted to go on, so I could show Katie how to REALLY do a triple axle! But for the positive, Im getting my drivers ed done so that I can cruise around base at 15kph and hit the drive thru at lunch! Well, this week is all exams and studying for them so wish me luck on these...as long as I get by the first 2 days ill be good, cause after that its only PE and Piano...tres difficile! Oh ya, I also have been looking and Im probably going to go to ALIVE '09 in Ohio...its about $100 for about 4 days of the greatest music ever! Some of the artists going this year are...Everyday Sunday, Skillet, Switchfoot, Hawk Nelson, David Crowder, The Afters, Super Chick, and John Reuben...hopefully Family Force 5 can come to the festival this year again...theyre pretty crunk. Hmm...dont have too much else to day, ive been listening to my favorite radio station....radiou.com....check it out, its pretty crazy stuff...and ive been playing NCAA 2004 on PS2...and my team is currently ranked number 1...alright, peace out, love you all!
