Wow, I totally TOTALLY forgot about this whole site...Oops.
First of all, I got grounded. That didn't help either. Then I got real busy with High School and all that. :P Got a Bible Study going, so that's cool. Lotsa friends, pretty involved in Theatre & Forensics. So...yeah.
Not quite sure I remember how to anything around here...or even if I have anymore friends, lol. Anyways, this is Shadow_Prime (Dan) droppin by and givin a sign of life.
So what'd you all do for Thanksgiving? Anything exciting?
I....
-Made Oreo Fluff! I crunched up the Oreos too much though. :P But it was still really good. My Mom did most of the cooking.
-I saw the Mist. That new Steven King movie. Pretty good, I recommend seeing it. It's abit heavy on the language though, so...
-I saw the Sixth Sense for the first time! Sad, I know...
-Saw Paying it Forward. Pretty good movie.
-Saw Live Free or Die Hard. I loved that movie.
-I saw Bridge to Taribithea (sp?). My Dad really wanted to see that since he read it in 5th grade. Not bad, IMO.
-I saw Next. That was pretty good too.
So I guess it was mainly a movie-filled Thanksgiving for me. Sad thing is, we're out of left overs. :(
Oh yeah, and we remodeled our bathroom. :roll:
Happy (really late) Thanksgiving!
Hi everyone! What's up?
Here's whats up with me!
I got Halo 3! Opening night too. I was third in line at a Walmart near my house. We had a huge party! My two friends and I bought pop and chips for everyone and this one dude gaveout some free burritos! An employee even brought out chairs for us! It was alot of fun, and I've been playing the game alot.
Other than that, life has been...well, there. With school, church, and all sorts of other things, I've been really busy. Recent issues at home don't help either. :P
But I'm really gonna try to stay more active. And I wanna get closer to all you people, (as close as you can get over GS anyways, lol) so I'm gonna try to strive to get to know you all more. That cool? Good. :D

In case none of you know, which most of you don't, I'm a Christian!
*gasp*
I just wanted to get that out there. That's all. :)
I live in America. I remember being yanked out of school one day, with a vague explanation from a friend that we were at war. I remember watching the news seeing the Twin Towers fall down over and over again with millions of replays. I remember watching our president, George Bush, being shoved into an area of choices no one wants to make. I remember hearing millions say how they hated George Bush and list everything he did wrong. We tend to forget the things he did right. How many other attacks have been stopped by our troops and our president's decisons?
But I'm not here to write about President Bush. I'm here to write about our troops. I'm here, so we can honor our troops. They deserve it. They risk their lives everyday so that we may live free and comfortably. They do so much for us over here, it seems we sometimes forget about it. Yes, we put magnetic ribbons on our cars and set up signs, there's nothing wrong with that. But there is more we can do.
Let's all take a moment of silence, a moment to just sit and ponder the risks and trials the go through. When wepause, let us remember who they are doing this for. We honor them with things all the time, but I ask, can we honor them in our hearts?
If any of you reading this have served in the military, whether in Iraq or not, my hat is off to you. May I be one of the many that say "Thank you." As I said earlier, you deserve it.
O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
God Bless America! And God Bless our Troops!
Hey everyone! Has anyone played this yet? I wanna get it, but I'm saving my moey up for something else.
I'm curious as to what you guys have to say about Metroid Prime 3.
So how is it?
On the 10th and 11th we had a youth retreat.Among the normal things, like a service and stuff, we had a Fear Factor in which the prize was $500 cash. Around 20-25 people entered and I was determined to win.
~Not for the faint of heart. Nah, seriously, you should be fine. You didn't have to watch and you didn't have to do it.~
First Event
Our first event was to eat a whole, white onion. No water, no nothin'. My strategy was to eat the onion like an apple, ya know, with big bites and stuff. Well that worked, for about half the onion. Then I started to gag, but I somehow held it all back. two more bites and I threw up all over my plate. Behind me were my dad and a youth leader who were encouraging me to keep going.
Thing was, to conitnue I had to eat the whole onion and hold it in for a few minutes. The same youth leader as stated above got me a big bowl/cup thing. I picked up my plate and poured it into the bowl/cup thing. I quickly finished the onion. Then onto the puke. I lifted the bowl thing to my lips and rank in my own puke.
DISGUSTING
Luckily, by this time, some people had dropped out. Like my sis who dropped out when she saw me puke. People started freaking out when I was drinking my own puke. I'm telling you right now, it was disgusting. If your body throws it up, it's not asking "Hello, will you please put all that junk back in?"
So I drank it. And I drank it. And I drank it. I finsihed it and dramatically slammed the cup tihng on the table. Then about 10 minutes later I puked all over the floor. Don't worry, I cleaned it up. :D
Later I had to gag myself about 7 times to get it all out of my system.
Second Event
This one was easy. They served us boiled squid. I love squid. I had it down in like, 8 seconds, no problem.
Third Event
Ugh. For this one they took everything we had left over form breakfast and mixed together and soaked it on water. (NOTE: they told us it was out left overs from our plates, which we provided into a large bowl.) IN theis huge tub were plastic easter eggs with numbers in them.Ibobbed(yes, with my mouth)one out, and it didn't have a number, so I had to do it again. It had a number four in it, which told me one thing out of five that I had to eat.
Pigs feet. It took me a few minute sto down it, but it wasn't too bad. Then I choose to eat vienna sausages (those were terrible, I hate those things) and I drank raw egg. Not too hard.
Fourth Event
In this event we had to pick a nonparticipating partner who was blindfolded and had to be our arms. they had to unpeal a banana, roll it around in Hershey's syrup, then feed it to us in the least amount of time. I picked my partner and played in the last round.
Because one of the other competitors had not eaten the entire banana, even though she had beaten the best time, 21 seconds (she had gotten 19), and because the person timing me accidentaly stopped me too early, at 20 seconds, the top three (a girl, my friend, and I) had to do it again. We did and lost to my friend, who won the grand prize, $500.
----------------------
Was I depressed? You bet. Did I have any regrets? Nah. I had fun and I had beaten my goal. I wanted to make it to the finals and at elast get third place. I did that. Soon after it ended the person who timed me (my youth pastor) told me al that had happened with the times, since I didn't know before.
It didn't make much of a difference to me and I said, "Pastor, It's okay that my friend won. You see, he wanted the money to buy a car, and all I wanted was an X-box."
Later, I was given $100 dollars. I used that, along with my birthday money, along with some of my mom's money, to buy and X-box 360 Elite. With it, I bought Lost Planet: Extreme Conditions, Sonic the Hedgehog, Halo, Halo 2, and another controller.
I honestly believe that God blessed me with that. Now that may sound cheesy to you, but that's my belief. Thank you Lord.
I may post notes from our sermon/message thing.
(Note, check my prev. blog too)
Yeah, my birthday was on the 13 of August. I got a bunch of stuff.
So yeah.....
Yay!
So much for that last party thing though. :( Oh well.
Sorry I haven't been active. Just last week I was given the lead role in our youth group dram, "Fade out Again". I have alot of lines and alot of practices, so I've been busy.
Also, I've seen FAntastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer twice now. It's really good, I recommend it.
But now I'm back! What's happened since I was gone, if anything?
First of all, My Dad's birthday was on the 13th. Happy Birthday Dad!
Secondly, Sweet Jane's birthday is on the 16th! Happy (lil bit early) Birthday Jane!
Do you know what time it is?

Wuz up party people? Haven't been on in awhile, sorry about that.
Here's what's up:
A good friend of mine introduced me to RuneScape. (no, that's not what I've been doing. I'm no addict.) Anyway, My name there is Supreme Zak. If you play, add me to your friend list or something!
Telma's Bar is back up on the LoZ: TP Wii board. Check it out.
I'm outta school now, but I've got a WHOLE buncha chores to do, so I don't get on much. And when I do get on, I normally stay over in GameFAQs. My computer's much MUCH faster over there.
Got some new CDs. Kingdom People by Tedashi, Our World Fallen by FLAME, and Higher Definition by Cross Movement. Really good albums, all Christian Rap/Hip Hop.
I have yet to see PotC 3. I want to, it just hasn't happened yet. SO, without any Spoilers, what did you all think of it?
I will try to check here more, but I don't know. Well see what happens.
In other news....I'm hungry. Wish I had some Cheez-its. *sees box and takes it.*
