Running...Again

   Yes,I have started up running again. Three days a week and not minute longer. I don't like to run per-say, but I acknowledge the fact that it's good for me and I feel better when I do. So I run on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays(40 minutes today), and on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, I do P90x workouts for my core and a stretching workout thingy. It's kinda fun actually.

  I'm pretty sure I got no better than a B- on today's Chemistry test. Blah! Oh, but I did get my report card for the third quarter, and my percentage was 90.something percent. Not bad if I do say so myself. And, in an exciting turn of events, I will be going to a Newsboys concert in April with Kutless and Disciple opening for them. Suh-WEEEET!! It's going to be intense. I have seen all of them in concert and they are all awesome live! 

  So, a couple of days ago. They were having a used-stuff sale of sorts at my school in the gym, and they were selling dvd's for $2:50 a piece!! What a deal right? I know, so I bought Sahara, featuring Mathew MacConaughey, and Hitch starring Will Smith. I love both movies. That's why I bought them I think.....

  Anyway, I must go. Youth group starts in 7 minutes.


  Toodles!                                                                                                

Licorice Slapping

Yes. We did it. I am spending the night at Dustin and Dillon's last night right? And his mom opens up a bag of red licorice(i hate black licorice), and we start eating it. Now, I am a huge fan of Skillet's podcast, and in one of their episodes, they have like a pain competition and they take turns slapping the inside of each others arms right where it bends(a surprisingly sensitive area i might add)with a strap or something. So, I thought, in a moment of foolishness, why don't we do it, only with strips of licorice. Well, seeing as how my friends are also foolish teenagers, they agree to do it. I slap you, you slap me, we slap him, he slaps us....WoW!...

This is a picture of Dillon's arm. If you look at it, you can see swollen, lines formed by the ridges on the licorice. And we all had that.....


Who knew licorice could hurt so much?!?!....I sure didn't....

And the next day was all about cold reminders.


Which is what I got several, painful times in our Youth Group day to the snow. Sad, I know. That fact that we had to set aside a day to drive to the snow, just reminds me how far I am from Montana. But, it was still the the bomb. We had several snowball fights which really ended up being me and Dillon verse everyone else. Not Good! So we drive up there, like caravan style or something. We drive about 45 minutes, then up the side of a mountain a good ways to even get to snow. Then, we set up on a wide spot, drop some people off to build a fire, attach the inner-tubes to the back of the trucks, load them up and floor it.

Let me tell you something, when you are at the bottom of a 7 person pile up, on one inner-tube, going 20 miles an hour, with your midsection dragging in the snow and ice, it hurts. It's also SOOOOO much fun!! Reminds me of the good ol' days....yea, I am only 16 and I made a good ol' days reference, SO WHAT!?!?!

Then you come back down the mountain, eat lunch, and then do it again, only colder.

I Am Free

Okay, only partly. I decided to leave six brackets on my six front, bottom teeth and just take the top off. So now I have me top retainer in my mouth. Which is nice compared to braces, but one side effect of it is that,for the first couple days, you talk with a lisp. Sho now I talk like thish. And it shtinkss. And my friendss make fun of me. Meanies.

So, tonight at youth group we went on a pizza scavenger hunt where teams of teens go out to random peoples houses and ask them for something(anything) to put on your pizzas, then rush bakc and cook them and you have to eat them.A piece of advice, don't mix chocolate and cheese.Nasty stuff.Well.............
