Home for the Holidays
My brother and I spent about 6 days at my parents home around Christmas and we had such a great time. We saw some friends we hadn't seen for awhile and it was great hanging out with them. We also had a lot of fun at the family get togethers. The time went way to fast and neither of us were ready to head back to our place when Sunday came. Sure hope we can go home again real soon.

Avoid Bankruptcy
With so many credit card offers and over spending that occurs it can cause many to find themselves with a lot of debt. I know of someone who has done just that and it has been hard to watch this person try and dig themself out of debt to Avoid Bankruptcy. Just about any extra money this person makes has to go toward paying off debt. Many young people find themselves getting into a bad situation with debt because of student loan debt along with other types of debt and by the time they have graduated from college they have so much money to owe they have hard time paying it off.
If you have found yourself in over $14,000 in debt then IVA Debt Management is right for you. They can help you reduce your monthly repayments by up to 65% and they handle negotiations with all creditors. Instead of having several payments paying off your debt they can make one affordable payment each month. You can visit their website to take their the Debt Analyser Test to see which debt solution is the best option for you. Just let them know your situation and they will guide you. Wouldn't it be nice to have them help you get your debt under control and relieve you of the worry and stress?

My Brother
My brother starts his new job at the casino tonight. He is going to be a security officer there. As he is showing up to work I will be ready to go home. It's kind of cool working at the same place. I hope he likes his job and that everything goes well for him.

Blessing from Heaven
It has been so amazing how God has been working in my life. The answered prayers and the sense of God around me. I have been stressing about a couple of classes and lately I haven't because I feel how God is taking that away from me and is working things out in my favor. He is so wonderful and I am so glad to be a child of his.

Finals
It has been a very intense couple of weeks with school. I have finals this week and am really needing all the prayers I can get. I've always struggled in math and that is one class I have been fighting with. I have so many people praying for me and I truly believe God is with me in this. Yesterday I started worrying in class and I felt the warmth of Jesus' arms around me and it calmed me down. I am so ready for our Christmas break and can't wait till it's here.

Slight Accident
Yesterday it was snowing which in turn made it pretty slick. I was heading across a bridge and lost control of my car and it spun around and slammed into the curb on the side of the road. It ended up bending my passenger side rim of the front tire so I couldn't drive home about an hour and a half away. So my brother and I had to stay at my Uncle's house so that we could get it fixed today. Anyway, we got it fixed and we are safely home now.

Christmas
The other night my roommates and I headed to Walmart about midnight. We went to the candle aisle smelling just about every candle in that aisle to see which one smelled the most like Christmas. It was hilarious but fun. We ended up finding one that was like apple cider. We plan to light it when we decorate our apartment for Christmas. We are really getting pumped up for Christmas.

It is so nice to have this week off from school. I spent most of my week at home last week because I was so sick and now I'm healthy and can enjoy my break from school. I'm looking forward to going home this weekend to see my parents. My mom is planning a great feast on Sunday. I miss home cooking.

Discount Jewelry
I have not met a woman yet who does not like jewelry. I like jewelry myself. I think it adds a special beauty to a woman when she is wearing a nice pair of earrings or a necklace. Holsted Jewelers has some really great discount jewelry. This is the time to buy this beautiful jewelry for someone special on your Christmas list. They have very nice jewelry for men and woman alike. If your trying to keep your budget down, they do have gifts for under $50 and if you spend more then $85 you will receive free shipping.

Healthy Finally
I am feeling so much better today. I woke up and could tell I was on the mend. I got myself ready for school and went to class. I had missed almost a week. I'm still weak in my body but I know in a day or so that should be better too. Thank you, Jesus, for healing my body.
Christmas Lights
I love Christmas lights on houses. When I was young my parents took my brother and I around on an evening close to Christmas and we would drive and drive to see all the Christmas lights on display.
It was so cool. I like it too when my dad puts light on our home and garage. I recently saw a video that showed a beautiful home and yard decorated in different colored lights. As Amazing Grace played the lights danced with the music. It was quite a site.

Denver Restaurants
I have been to Denver, Colorado with my parents a couple of times. That is one cool city. I love seeing the Rockie Mountains, it is so beautiful. Denver is a booming town. It is fast paced and a lot going on. The Denver Magazine keeps people up to speed on what is happening in this great city. They tell of the awesome Denver Restaurants that are available for fine cuisine. Many prominent chefs call Denver their home. Dining in Denver is a pleasure for the palate. If you have not visited Denver yet you really need to do so, you will love it.
Still Sick
I have missed so much school and work because I have been sick so long. I went back to the doctor today and he ran some tests on me to make sure I didn't have mono. Praise the Lord that came back good and he did say he could see some improvement and that because I was so extremely run down that it could take awhile to get better. So thankfully I have 4 more days off before I go back to work and he said it was up to me when I should start attending classes again. I'm just glad that I am starting to see baby steps in my improving health.

Beauty Schools in Michigan
Regency Beauty school has several beauty schools in michigan. They are the fastest growing beauty school in the United States. Regency will be opening a school in Detroit-Lakeside soon. These schools have their own unique learning program. They have a job placement program for students when they graduate. These students can find jobs in areas like salons to cruise ships and runways. Regency Beauty Schools are not like the typical beauty schools they are thoroughly modern, professional, and salon-like. Consider one of these schools if you are interested in the cosmetology field. You will get the education and experience in this area that you deserve.
Tired and Sick
It seems like since I started my new job I am getting sick too much. I am way too tired with going to school and then working at night. It has really taken a toll on my body. I sure hope I can catch up on some sleep this weekend with not having to work and no school. I had to work two nights this past week and it was not good. I was so light headed that I thought I was going to fall over several times. Today I seem to be doing better so maybe I am on the mend now.

Substance Abuse Center
Promises is a treatment center that treats addictions to a variety of drugs as well as the full spectrum of co-occuring disorders. In this substance abuse treatment they can deal with co-occuring disorders which refers to the existence of other psychological and behavioral conditions that exist with drug and or alcohol dependence. By working in both conditions it helps the healing to become more definite. They are given the opportunity to achieve the complete and lasting recovery they so very much deserve.

This is a great video. The lyrics are so good and true. Here are the lyrics to this song if you want to follow along as he sings it. It's how we should all behave on a daily basis.

Just becuase I'm Christ like, dosent mean I'm nice like
I'm goin be the bigger man and let you bump me cus it's 8 of ya'll and ya'll probably goin jump me
And have me lookin crazy and all in front of my company mean

Chillin is the right move

Go to jail, go to hell or stay saved Baby put the mase away
[Chorus:]

Go to the back of the line
Ma'am you got me messed up

Ma'am if you could just give me a refund that will be so great
What you bout to go on break?
Can I get my money first
You aint gotta get loud and miss you aint gotta curse
Can I see the manager before this thing gets any worse
Oh you the manager well I dont want this sandwich here

Before I start fussin back say somethin I dont wanna say
Gotta stay prayed up cus people will test you
She still fussin see you later God Bless You

Tacos
Tonight my roommates and I are having some friends over tonight and we are all going to make my favorite food and that is tacos. I plan on eating several and I'm sure everyone else will too. It will be fun to do something different for a change.
Bargain Shopping
Don't you just love it when you really don't have a lot of money and you go into a store and find really discounted items. That happened to me yesterday. I found two shirts and together they only cost me $3. Then I found another item for $4. It was great! I haven't been able to shop for quite awhile because I have been unemployed but I just happen to have a few dollars and had to spend it on these bargains. It felt good.

Thanksgiving Circulars
Are you like me that when the thanksgiving cirulars come out you want to sit right down and start making your list for Christmas from all the bargains you can find in them? I think it is kind of fun to do. Most of my family feels like I do. I look forward to the EB Games ad to come out because I love shopping there for my video games and my brother's also.
There are usually some pretty amazing buys and what a way to save money with the state of our economy the way it is.
By visiting the site blackfridayonline.com they will show you how to get the black Friday deals online on Thanksgiving Day instead of having to stand in line on Black Friday. Have you ever gone out on a cold dark Black Friday morning and stood in long long lines and end up not even getting the bargain you went for because it was taken by the time you found it or got to it? That has happened to me and it is frustrating. I would rather sign up my email address with this website and get the email alerts as to when the ads start to come out and then sit down on Thanksgiving morning and start my shopping from the comfort of my own home. That is the way to shop.

Election
Today is the big Election Day! So who will it be, Obama or McCain?
I have a very strong feeling that it will be Obama because so many people keep saying they are tired of Bush and they seem to be thinking that McCain is going to be a repeat of Bush. I don't know.
I feel a lot of what goes on in this country is because of congress and shouldn't be fully blamed on Bush. That's just my opinion.

Medical Supplies
Allegro Medical is one of the largest advanced independently owned online retailers of life enhancing products in the United States. They were founded back in 1996 and serve more then 1 million customers. They sell medical supplies for many conditions. Some of the things they sell are Carpal Tunnel Computer Gloves, Breast Feeding Pillows, Blood Pressure Monitors, Shower Chairs and Polar Heart Monitors. When shopping you can do it by category, condition or brand. You can shop with them safely and securely. For a very limited time if you purchase over a $100 you can get $10 off. Another great thing is that customers can set deliveries at intervals for auto delivery.
Tests
Yesterday I had a test in one of my classes and it was so hard I know I didn't do well. It basically about ruined my whole day. It is frustrating because I can usually do pretty well in daily classes and then when it comes to tests I don't know what happens but it's like my brain forgets everything I learned. It's a huge bummer.

Black Friday Sales
I cannot believe it is only about a month away from Black Friday. My brother and I have had a few of those where we have gotten up really early to head to the stores and shopping malls. There has been times when it has been so cold and the lines of people go the length of the parking lots. It can be pretty crazy and then when the store opens the doors it gets really bad. People push and shove to make there way in. It is so nice to know that a person does not need to do that anymore.
You can receive the black friday sale ads right on your computer. You can even get some in advance and at iblackfriday.com you can sign up your email address and they will send you notifications when each store puts their sales ads out. You can also create a shopping list so that you are ready to shop online that Friday morning.
I love music and will most likely shop at Walmart where I will find some of my favorite Cd's. Not only will I find things for myself but I like to shop there for my parents and brother. They have a great variety of things to choose from and usually they are at pretty good prices.
I am excited about this because I will be able to sleep in and then get up on Black Friday and shop from home. It will be great!

Job
Well I got through the orientation. It finished up today and I start my job on Saturday. It is kind of nice because I will work 4 days on and then have 4 days off. I have to work 6 hours which won't be bad. I am thinking this will be a good job and shouldn't be too tough to do.

Promises
Drugs and alcohol abuse cause a life to become shattered. It not only affects the person involved but friends and family are also affected. It is a great thing when the person with this type of problem realizes they need help. When looking for a alcohol or drug rehab it is important to have staff which features the best professionals in the field of addiction treatment. Promises has that type of staff. They are experienced, licensed and a credentialed staff. Promises is not a day spa rehab or country club. They are there to help you reach sobriety with a lot of support and continued care. So if you know of someone who could use the help that Promises has to give then please contact them. At Promise they take their mission seriously.
Orientation
Well it was my first day of orientation for my new job. I will be working at a casino in the cleaning department. It went pretty well and for the most part was interesting. Tomorrow I have just a half a day of it and then I should be ready to start the job. I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Nebraska Injury Accident Attorney
If you are from Nebraska and have had a rear end collision with another vehicle and you need help in proving that you were not at fault then you should call a Nebraska Injury Accident Attorney . You will receive a friendly and confidential session to learn your rights in a situation like this. Sometimes it is hard to prove who is at fault when hit in the back end of your vehicle sitting at a traffic light or in a parking lot and that's why an attorney like this is so helpful to get you the compensation you deserve when you are not a fault.
Sick
The last couple of days I have been sick. I have all the sinus garbage going on so I missed a couple of days of school. Those days just happen to land on days when the weather was horrible outside and I usually like to walk to the University which can be quite a walk. Anyway, I think I am feeling somewhat better today and I'm very thankful for that.

Martin Sands
It is wise as a young adult to get started investing money for my future. With not a lot of knowledge or experience in this area I would definitely need some advice and guidance. Martin Sands has many years of investment experience in areas that include investment banking, venture capital, private equity, and real estate to name a few. This would be the type of person I would want to get help from. I know my investments would be in good hands.
Prison Break
I have been watching Prison Break lately. My family has tried to get me to watch it from the first season and I just never have. Then I decided to watch my brother's dvds that he has of the first and second season and now I am hooked. This is one great show. I realize now what I was missing.

Press Release:
Cydcor Supports Former Team Member Through Donation
Leading global provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams
and its team members provide funds and school supplies
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. (October 3, 2008) – Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, and its team members recently made a donation to the Andinet International School in Ethiopia, in addition to packing and sending supplies for the school’s children and teachers.
In support a former Cydcor receptionist who moved to Ethiopia in August to teach English and art to impoverished children at Andinet, Cydcor donated $1,000 to the school and Cydcor team members individually contributed nearly $600 in additional funds.
“We look for opportunities to support our team members’ prosperity internally as well as externally while they pursue other goals and passions,” said Gary Polson, chief executive officer of Cydcor. “At Cydcor, we try to create a philanthropic environment where our team members can support each other, and we all wanted to help her make a difference.”
Cydcor and its team members were also able to fill four boxes of binders, paper, padfolios, pens and pencils to be personally delivered to the school in Ethiopia. The money will be used to purchase student school and arts supplies, which are often limited or non-existent.
“The Andinet International School expresses heartfelt gratitude for the generous contribution and personal delivery from Cydcor,” said Nefertiti Makeda, director of Andinet International School. “Our school is growing and we are always in need of educational materials.”

Press Release:
Cydcor Supports Former Team Member Through Donation
Leading global provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams
and its team members provide funds and school supplies
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. (October 3, 2008) – Cydcor, the leading provider of outsourced, face-to-face sales teams, and its team members recently made a donation to the Andinet International School in Ethiopia, in addition to packing and sending supplies for the school’s children and teachers.
In support a former Cydcor receptionist who moved to Ethiopia in August to teach English and art to impoverished children at Andinet, Cydcor donated $1,000 to the school and Cydcor team members individually contributed nearly $600 in additional funds.
“We look for opportunities to support our team members’ prosperity internally as well as externally while they pursue other goals and passions,” said Gary Polson, chief executive officer of Cydcor. “At Cydcor, we try to create a philanthropic environment where our team members can support each other, and we all wanted to help her make a difference.”
Cydcor and its team members were also able to fill four boxes of binders, paper, padfolios, pens and pencils to be personally delivered to the school in Ethiopia. The money will be used to purchase student school and arts supplies, which are often limited or non-existent.
“The Andinet International School expresses heartfelt gratitude for the generous contribution and personal delivery from Cydcor,” said Nefertiti Makeda, director of Andinet International School. “Our school is growing and we are always in need of educational materials.”

Appaloosa
On Saturday my parents were here visiting and took my brother and I to the movie Appaloosa. I have to say that I loved it. I know when I am sitting in a theater and am so into the movie that I forget that I am in the theater that the movie has to be pretty good. The characters were great and so was the story line. Not everyone in my family agreed with me but I know when it comes out on dvd I will be buying it.

Maritime Lawyer
Jobs in the maritime industry can be dangerous. Thousands of people have either been injured or have lost their lives in a years time. It is sad but true and the families have to deal with the financial strain it can cause. Under U.S. maritime law, workers and their families have rights to financial compensation if an injury or death occurred while working. A maritime lawyer such as Mark & Associates, P.C. is there to make sure these people get a fair settlement. This firm aggressively represents injured maritime workers throughout the United States. This is someone I would definitely want on my side in a situation like this.
New Job
Yesterday I got a call saying I got the job at the casino. It has been about month almost since I had my interview. I had pretty much given up hope that I was going to get the job. I was so surprise and happy. It's been so long since I've had a job that I am alittle nervous. I know it will all work out ok.

Happiness is Pets
My brother had the perfect dog. She was so friendly and loved to play. He had to give her away because he was still in college and he didn't like that but he loved her and loved having a pet. She was his loyal friend that loved him no matter what. She was always there for him. Someday I would like to get a puppy and I plan on doing that once I graduate from college. Happiness is Pets can help you find the puppy that will be a good fit for you and your family.
Appaloosa
There is a sweet western movie out in theaters right now called Appaloosa. It is rate R for language and violence but looks pretty amazing. Ed Harris stars in this movie and I think he will make a great cowboy. This movie is about two friends hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a rancher and find their job complicated by the arrival of a young widow. My parents are coming to visit this weekend and we plan to go see this movie. My dad is a huge western movie fan.

Job Interviews
Do you ever go into an interview with confidence and feeling positive through the whole thing? When you leave you feel that you are the right one for the job and you get that sense that the interview went great and you are sure you are going to get called for the job? That happened to me not too long ago. I felt confident that they would hire me and it has been 3 weeks and haven't heard a thing. It really is a let down and I do wish employers would take the time to call each person they interview to let them know either way if they got the job or not.
Vikings
The Vikings game on Sunday was a close one. They were behind most of the game and then pulled it off at the end. It was looking very grim and I got pretty excited when they finally won the game. There was a time during the game when the Viking fans were booing their team and that makes me mad when they do that. No matter how the the team is playing the fans need to back them up with support.

Holsted Jewelry
My mom will celebrate a special birthday this year. She is turning 50 this year. I think it would be cool if my dad bought her a piece of jewelry. There is this great website that has a lot of really great necklaces, earrings and rings and it is holsted jewelry. She would love that and probably would enjoy something with her birthstone in it. She really loves that kind of stuff. It would make her feel really special on her special birthday. I know I like jewelry for men and they have some really great items on their website for men also.
Next weekend
I'm looking forward to next weekend because our cousin is coming to stay with us again. We have a great time when he's here. We stay up just about all night just goofing off. Sometimes we make movies and that's pretty fun. It will give us something different to do for a change.

Voting
This is the first election that I will be voting in. I am pretty excited to be a part of it. There has been so much negativity going on throughout this election process. It is important for all Americans to look into the issues and know how each candidate stands on those issues. It is also good to know their record and if they are the right person to become our President.

Happy 58th Wedding Anniversary!
I want to wish my grandparents a Happy 58th Wedding Anniversary! That is a long time to be married to the same person and I admire that in them. They are setting a good example for their children and grandchildren. So many marriages end up in divorce and it is so great to see marriages that last this long. Congratulations to Grandpa and Grammy!

Spiritual Warfare
I watched a message on the Internet today that really opened my eyes to how easy it is to let evil spirits enter our homes. When parents are fighting and cursing that is a welcome gate to Satan's demons. When there is pornography, foul music, television shows and movies that are not appropriate that are in the home is also a welcome gate for evil to enter. Alcohol and drugs also make a way for evil to enter. We as Christians need to not only have church at church but we need to have church in our homes. We need to plead the blood of Jesus over our home and repent of the wrong that we have done. Only the blood of Jesus can rid the evil of Satan.

Downey Body Shop
When I was in high school I wrecked my car pretty bad. My dad had to go around and get estimates on how much it was going to cost to fix it. He wanted to find someone who was trustworthy. If it had happened in the present time he could have gone online to downey body shop and read reviews on local body shops. He could have also gotten estimates and when he found the one he wanted he could have made an appointment online. That sure is time saving and convenient.
Job Interview
Yesterday was the day for job interviews. My brother had one and so did I. I feel it went very well and am hoping that I get this job.
It was kind of cool cause the man interviewing me asked me a couple of questions and told me that I had answered them perfectly. That sure made me feel good. I'm praying for God's favor in this and am hoping that both myself and my brother will be employed soon.

Hurricane Ike
I received an email a little while back with some horrific pictures of devastation that Hurricane Ike caused. I felt so bad for the people in that area because of all the mess they have to deal with. It blows my mind to see what a force of nature such as a hurricane can do to a city. I live in a state that has it's share of tornadoes and they are pretty devastating too so I can really understand in some ways what these people are going through.

New Suit
A couple of weeks ago when my grandma passed away my dad and mom took my brother and I shopping to buy a new suit. I haven't had a suit since I was a little boy. It is nice now to have one for special times and it was very nice to have one to wear at my grandma's funeral. My brother and I were pallbearers so it was nice to be more dressed up. Family and friends said we looked like a couple of gangstas.

Pool
Well, it is that time when my parents have to take down their pool.
I wonder if it will be down by the time we get home this weekend. I'm sure my mom hasn't been in it lately cause the nights have been pretty chilly and that makes for very cold water. I'm sure she misses it already. Oh well, there's always next summer.

Camping
When I was younger we use to go camping. My parents bought a cool camper trailer that had a separate bedroom for them and my brother and I would have the rest of it for us so that we could stay up late. We use to bring movies along and watch them till we fell asleep. Many times in the evenings my family would go inside the camper and we would play UNO and if we didn't do that we would sit out by the campfire and make smores and sit around and relax. During the day we would go swimming if there was a lake or do some hiking or biking. We loved camping and my family made lots of fun memories together.
VoIP Phone Systems
Do you own your own business or help run a business? You may be interested in knowing about the VoIP phone systems by Xpander.

Xpander IP phone and virtual phone systems protect businesses from ever suffering a phone outage. They can even withstand a hurricane. May businesses in Florida have truly tested this. The benefits of having a VoIP phone system are great for big and small businesses.
Classic Television Shows
I really enjoy watching classic television shows. I Love Lucy is probably one of the greatest shows ever made. She was one talented lady. TV Land plays a lot of good ole shows like Leave it to Beaver, The Munsters, The Beverly Hillbillies and The Andy Griffith Show. Even if they are older they are still pretty funny.
Blogging
Blogging for me is a great way to express myself and also to make some extra money. I like giving my opinion on certain topics and I also like to share things that interest me like music, movies and daily activities. I am glad that I got started doing this with the help of my cousin.
Online Degree
There are many people who are holding down a job and trying to support a family but still want to go to college and get a degree. Having a full time job may not allow these people to attend a college so the best thing for them to do is to get a degree online.
Capella University makes that possible for people who want to continue their education and still hold down a job or be a stay at home mom. Even people that don't fit in those situations want to do online college courses, I know because my brother does it. Now you can get your degree or masters without leaving your home. How convenient is that.

Fall Leaves
I've been noticing that last couple of weeks that the leaves are starting to turn colors and the crops are drying up in the fields. I guess it is that time after all I think the first day of fall is on Monday. It just doesn't seem possible. It hardly felt like we had a summer. Oh well, time marches on.
Birthday
My brother's birthday is next Wednesday. He will be 23. We are going home this weekend to celebrate. It has been a few weeks since we have been home so we are both really looking forward to it.
My mom always fixes our favorite foods so we eat really well and we will get to see some of our friends that we haven't seen for awhile.
It should be a good time and it sounds like the weather is going to be perfect.

Presidential Dollars
The Cable Shopping Network or CSN is a television show that has many collectible items on it. I have ran across it later in the evening with I am surfing the channels. Many times I will notice that they are advertising the presidential dollars. They have a cool selection of different ones that a person can purchase for their collection or just because. The price range varies and no matter what your budget there is something for everyone. If these coins are not something you are interested in then you should check out more products by accessing CSN at their website.
Cold Stone
Have you ever had Cold Stone ice cream? It is the greatest. It is kind of expensive but the experience is worth it. This summer my brother and I were with my mom in Minneapolis and she had never been to one. So, we decided to go and it was fun to watch her watch them mix up her ice cream. She loved it and said she definitely wants to do that again and so do I.
Halloween
I love this time of year. The stores are filling up with fall decorations, Halloween costumes and candy. As a Christian, I probably shouldn't like Halloween but I do because I like to make our place look cool and spooky. We don't do anything with devils and demons because that is just stupid. My brother and I like walking through the Halloween sections and stores to check out the cool costumes.
Rare Coins
I really don't have any kind of special collection of anything. My brother collects Starwars stuff and has quite a collection. My dad has some pretty cool old coins that I enjoy looking at but he doesn't have a big collection of them. I think if I could I would be interested in collecting rare coins. I would check out the website www.zoomcoin.com because on this website there is information on there how to get started. It is also interesting to see the rare coins they have on this site. You will find if you check out zoomcoin.com that it is full of interesting information. Monaco Rare Coin offers you the finest rare coin values in the world.
Math Class
I was pretty freaked out when I first started classes this fall. I heard that I was going to have to take another math class and math is not one of my strong points. Surprisingly enough, my instructor is awesome. He is in the habit of asking several times during class if everyone understands. I am doing remarkable well and that is a huge relief to me.
Ghost Hunting
My friends and I have done a lot of ghost hunting this summer so far. We like to go hang out in cemeteries and we've checked out an abandoned school. It gets freaky sometimes but we have a lot of fun doing it. We know that we have seen some things that have been pretty scary. The last ghost hunt we did was we stayed at a house that belongs to a woman who works with my mom. She said some of her family have heard and seen things in this house. No one lives in it right now.
Beauty Jobs
I know of some people I went to high school with that chose cosmetology for their career choice. They are still going through the school process but will soon be looking for a beauty job. The Internet is a great tool for job hunting. The website www.beautyjobs.com is a great help for friends like mine who will be soon looking for a job. If they are interested in relocating, this site lists beauty jobs from coast to coast. They can apply online and seek out businesses that are hiring. If I were in their shoes I would definitely look into this.
The Courts
In past summers the major hang out place is the courts. Many high school and some college kids from around the area gather there and either just hang out or play a lot of basketball. It's been a good time and we have stayed there till early in the morning. When my brother and I go home to visit we usually go to the courts and hang out with people we haven't seen for awhile.

Happiness is Pets
Happiness is Pets, don't you think? Pets are so loyal and loving. They are there for you in good times and bad. They fill a lonely place in our life when no one else is around. My grandma recently passed away and my Uncle lives alone. He said he would be fine to go home alone because he really isn't alone, he lives with his dog, Sam. Sam is his best buddy and he wouldn't want to be without him.
Pets are wonderful for elderly people, also. They are there to help them feel love and if they are lonely they know they have their pet with them to fill that void.

Jobs
When I started school I thought I had a job in place at the school I am attending. I have been trying and trying to reach my boss and he does not return my emails or calls. It is quite frustrating because I could use this job and a paycheck. I guess I will continue to look for another job and we'll see what happens to this one.

Minnesota Vikings
I am a huge fan of the Minnesota Vikings and my dad is too. They played yesterday and the game was so close. My dad couldn't get it on his tv so I kept calling him with updates on how the game was going. It came down to the wire and I thought it was going to go into overtime. The other team, the Colts, kicked a field goal and won the game by 3 points. That was not cool. I was pretty disappointed.

Iowa Hawkeyes
The big game between the Hawks and the Cyclones was today. I'm a fan of the Hawks and was so glad to see they had won the game. Everyone gets so excited about this game each year and there is so much about it on television. I'm just glad the Hawks finally beat the Cyclones. This is a good day in football.

Vaginitis
I have an uncle that has not been feeling well for months now. He has gone through many tests and has seen a few doctors about this problem. He has had to miss a lot of work because he is too wore out and hurting all the time. He has been told that they can't find anything wrong with him but he is continuing to seek out medical advice. My mom and other family members have been online searching out some different ailments to see if my uncles symptoms relate to a certain illness or disease. The perfect website to research an ailment like Fibromyalgia, Vaginitis or migraines is at https://online.epocrates.com. This website has some great and helpful information and if you are like people in my family you will appreciate the information they offer.

Labor Day Weekend
It was nice to be home for Labor Day weekend but when a person has no income it can get long and boring. I basically just sat in my room and was on my computer a lot.
I can't wait till I start getting a paycheck for working at my new job. That should help so I can go see a movie or something.

Shawn Johnson
I watched Shawn Johnson on television the other day. She was in Des Moines and their was a huge crowd at the Wells Fargo Arena. She seems like such a down to earth person. She couldn't get over that all those people were there for her. She is such a tiny little person and an amazing athlete. It is so great that she has come from my home state of Iowa.

Auto Insurance
A few years back I had an accident that wrecked my car pretty bad. No one was hurt, thank the good Lord but my car was a mess. Because of that my parents auto insurance took a big hike. It was way too expensive so they had to start looking for another insurance that was more affordable. Thankfully they found one and are very pleased. So don't struggle with trying to pay those high premiums for your auto insurance. Compare prices and I know you can find a better deal.
Security
Last night I attended a meeting for my new job. I am going to be working for security for the college I am attending. It sounds like it is going to be an amazing job. We can choose the events we want to work at and there are going to be a couple of concerts that I think would be fun to work at. Also, the games would be pretty cool. I can't wait to get started.

UNI
Today was my first day of classes at UNI. I was pretty nervous because this is a much larger school then the one I attended last year. My day went ok, I'm dreading my math class. I was hoping I was done with math but I guess not. This school will take some getting use to but I know I will like it once I get into it more.

Auto Body Repair
Back in high school I was out with some friends and it happened so quick, I smashed right into a light pole. Luckily no one was hurt but wow was my car messed up. My parents had to go through the search for a good auto body repair shop. They searched all the local towns for the best deal since we had no insurance to cover it. It would have been great if they would have known about this website CollisionRepairExperts.com. When you visit this site you can search for the experts in the field of auto body repair. This would have saved my parents a lot of time and stress.

Car Issues
Once again I am having trouble with a part on my car that has been replace two times already. It is in the steering wheel column and what happens is it gets hot and smells like something is burning, then I lose my headlights. My dad had it checked out and we thought it was ok but after I got it back I was out one night and lost my lights again, which isn't good in the pitch black darkness. Anyway, I hope it gets fixed right this time.

Storm
Wow, there is a major storm going on right now. The rain is slapping hard against the windows and the thunder is rolling. We are even getting pebble size hail. It's crazy out there. The lightning is flashing constantly. We haven't had a storm like this since June. I hope it lets up soon cause my car is sitting out in it.

All Alone and All Alone 2
My brother recently wrote scripts for two short films. They are called All Alone and All Alone 2. The first one has been entered into a contest and I would love to see it win. The second one was finished last week and comments are that it is better then the first one and that one is good. I play the scary guy in the movie. It has been fun to make and I would like to share them both with you in my post.

Great American Seafood Cook Off
I love trying new recipes. It is fun to try and bring together spices and flavorings in dishes that I enjoy. One of my favorite things to do is use the outdoor barbecue grill. So, if I get an opportunity to cook on it I will. I really like fish, especially a good piece of orange roughy. When making it on the grill I like to coat my fish in cornflake crumbs then put melted butter over the top of it. I then season it with a little salt and pepper and some onion powder. I like to slice in some potatoes with it and also put melted butter and onion powder on them. I then wrap it all up in a strong piece of foil and cook it slowly on low heat on the barbecue grill. When it is done it is so moist and flaky and wow, is it good.
I think about the Great American Seafood Cook off and wonder what kind of recipes are used at this event. I wonder if other people would enjoy my recipe for how I like to cook fish.
The fifth Annual Great American Seafood Cook-Off will be held Aug 2-3 at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center. One chef and one state will go away with the title of King of American Seafood.
Governor Jindal challenges all states to send them their best chef and most delicious domestic sustainable seafood. Out of 14 chefs only 5 will remain as finalists. For the ticket price of $10 the public, 18 years and older are invited to cheer on the chefs as they compete against each other. This sounds like a really fun event and would be interesting to see what recipes these chefs come up with and who will win.

Fruits of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23 - "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." (NIV)
These 9 fruits best describe aspects of a Christian character. Paul used this list to show the contrast between a Godly character and one that is focused on fleshly concerns.
I strive daily to live my life with all the 9 fruits of the spirit. I want people to see in my life that Christ lives in me. It isn't always easy and I sometimes fail but I am thankful that I serve a forgiving God.

Step Brothers
Who doesn't like Will Farrell, I am a huge fan. I think I have seen just about every movie he has made plus own a few on dvd. He is coming out with another great one called Step Brothers. John C. Reilly joins him in this comedy. They teamed up in the movie Talladega Nights.
Will Farrell plays a 40 year old man who still lives with his mother (Mary Steenburgen). Reilly also plays a middle aged man who is as infantile as Will Farrell's character. Reilly also sponges off his father(Richard Jenkins) as he still lives at home.
Steenburgen and Jenkins fall in love and decided to move in together. That then leads to Farrell and Reilly having to share a room together. The comedy really begins. You can about imagine what all happens. It looks like a great movie and I love comedies like this one. I will definitely try to catch this one. It opens in theaters July 25th.

Zenni Optical
I heard recently that Zenni Optical was on Fox news. Wow, that says a lot for this prescription eye wear website. At ZenniOptical.com you can find glasses starting out at $8 a pair. The frames are stylish and if you would rather have rimless frames you can purchase those too. If you are in need of bifocals they start out at $25, you can also get single vision lenses and progressive lenses at a fraction of the cost. The reason they can sell these glasses so much cheaper is because they cut out the middleman and sell directly from their own manufacturer. If you are in need of new glasses and want to save a lot of money go check out this website.

The New Batman Movie
I am so pumped at the idea of the new Batman movie coming out. The name of it is The Dark Night. Heath Ledger is one creepy looking Joker. This movie looks to be more dark and different then the other Batman movies. There are so many great actors in it too which will just add greatness to it. My brother and some buddies and I are going to see it this weekend. We can't wait, it should be awesome!

Job hunting
My brother and I went out yesterday to do some job hunting. We picked up several applications so we will be busy filling them out. We are sure hoping to get a hold of a job soon before other kids roll into town for school. This is a bigger city then what we use to live in so I am hoping we have better success.

Settling in
Well, I think our apartment is looking pretty good. Most of the unpacking is done and now it's time to job hunt. My brother worked hard yesterday getting the living room in order and he finished unpacking the kitchen.
It is so nice to live in a bigger city where hopefully we can find a job easier. I have one idea in mind already and am hoping it works out.

Finally
Finally I have some time to post. We got moved into our new apartment yesterday with the help of my parents. It had to be the most hot and humid day of the summer. Our apartment is on the third floor so you can imagine how exhausted and sweaty we all were by the time everything was moved up. It's a great place and it will be fun to live here. The grounds have a pool, volleyball court, tanning booth, exercise room and other great amenities. We are looking forward to getting done unpacking and to start enjoying what there is here to offer.

Posting
Sometimes it is real easy to think of things to post about and other times I can't think of a thing. I think that is where I am right now. I going blank. I try and write about what's going on in my life but there really hasn't been a lot happening lately. I went to orientation last week with my parents to the college I will be attending for the next two years. That went pretty well, I for the most part was bored with the whole thing but at least I wasn't sitting at home being bored and we did get to stay in a pretty amazing motel. It was a suite and it would have been nice to stay longer if we would have had the time and of course money.=)
Villisca, Iowa
My brother and I are heading to Villisca where we will spend the night in a haunted house with some friends of ours. A family was murdered there several years ago and spirits have been seen and felt inside this house. We went last summer and it's true, it is haunted. We have a little bit larger group going this year and it should be interesting. We are Christians and we definitely pray over ourselves before, during and after this experience. This house is one of the top ten scariest places around.

Figure 8 Races
We finally got to go to one of the figure 8 races that is held in the town where my parents live. It's the first one this summer and probably the last because we will be moving in about a week and a half. So, the race was underway and it was going great when all the sudden we get a thunderstorm with big drops of rain. Because of that they had to stop the race. We finally got to the races and then had to sit through that. Oh well, we still made it fun.

Cabelas
My family and I went to Minneapolis for the weekend and on our way up there we stopped at Cabelas. Cabelas is an amazing store. There are all kinds of things for people who love to hunt and fish. You can also find items like regular clothing, food items or things to decorate your home with. We decided to eat lunch there and I had a huge buffalo burger. It was so good. I had never eaten there before so that was kind of fun to do. If you ever get a chance to stop at a Cabelas you won't be disappointed. There are lots of stuffed real animals in displays, it is pretty cool.

Storms
The other night we had some really intense weather. There were a few tornadoes and funnel clouds spotted around where my parents live and where I live. I went outside and was taking some video when I saw a funnel cloud coming down and was expanding. It was really something to see. It then went back up into the clouds, thank the good Lord. The storm clouds were unbelievable. It was just fascinating to see. We received so much rain that many of the roads in the city where I live were flooded. It was one crazy night.

Dolliver
Lately I've been going to Dolliver with my brother and some friends. Dolliver is a great park with lots of trails, a river running through and a camp ground. It's a huge park with lots of trees and hills. We like going out there toward evening and taking long walks and while we do that we make up stories to try and freak each other out. It's pretty fun and I need to get out there again soon.

John Cena
I am a huge fan of the WWE. John Cena is one of the best wrestlers out there. I have had the chance to meet him on a couple of different occasions. John Cena is an American actor, hip hop musician, and wrestler. He wrestles for WWE and performs on their Raw brand. In his career with the WWE, Cena has been a three time WWE Champion.
Outside his career as a wrestler he has release a rap album called "You Can't See Me" and has starred in the movie "The Marine". He has also made special appearances on television programs such as Deal or No Deal and Madtv and other shows. He is an awesome wrestler and person.

Adventureland
Adventureland is an amusement park in Des Moines, Iowa. Next week I am going with my cousins and a few friends for a day. We are hoping the rain that is in the forecast holds off. It's been a couple of years since I've been there. It seems they try to add something new each year and this year they have added a water park. I'm not sure how big it is but if it is hot it will sure feel good and hopefully cut down on the length of the lines for the water rides such as the log ride. It will be great to get away for a day and just have some fun.

Black Friday Sales
I love Christmas time because so many stores have some really great sales. Black Friday is my favorite time to shop. They offer awesome deals in their black friday sales. It is the best day of the year because you never see these items as low as they are that day, any other time of the year. When the Black Friday ads come out I sit and make a list for myself and my family. I don't have to wait till Thanksgiving Day to see the ads because I go to www.black-friday.net. I have signed up my name and they let me know through emails what stores have their ads out and I can go right to their site and view them. They start coming out a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. It is fun and I can plan ahead that way. One really cool thing about this website is the fact that you can get the same great deals on this site by staying at home and ordering online. I am not an early riser and for me this is perfect. I can sleep in and still when I am good and ready to shop I just go online to www.black-friday.net and start ordering. I don't have to go out in the cold and stand in long lines. Fighting the crowds is not for me and a lot of times you get to the items you really want and they are already gone. Why not just stay at home, be warm and not hassle with the crowds and get what you want. This is the way I like it and I'm sure if you give it a try you will too.

Sinusitis
For over a week now I have not been feeling well. My sinuses are full and it makes me cough and makes my head hurt. I finally got fed up with it and went to the doctor. He said I definitely have sinusitis. He put me on Amoxicillin and I hope it gets to work fast. I'm tired of being sick.

Edge
Edge, the Rated R superstar in professional wrestling in the WWE, is going against the Undertaker on June 1st in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match for the World Heavyweight Championship. If Undertaker loses, he is banished from the entire WWE. That will be one exciting match and I can't wait to see it.

Wrestling
We are heading down today to see another wrestling event held in Des Moines. It is going to be another great day to be out. It sounds like the weather is going to be a little cooler but we don't mind that. I'm hoping we can see some of the pros and get some autographs today. In the past we have been lucky enough to get lots of pictures and autographs so I hope we are lucky today. This seems really strange to be attending 2 wrestling events so close together but it is awesome.

My dream is to attend a Vikings game. I think it would be great if my dad could go with me. It would be so awesome and the stadium in Minnesota is amazing. Maybe someday my dream will come true.

Wrestling Events
This coming Sunday my brother and I with a couple of friends are going to a huge wrestling event. This will be filmed for payperview. I recently found out that it is going to be a cage match and since I was a little boy I've wanted to see one of those. Then on Tuesday we will go to another one and this one will be televised. It has been over a year ago since we have been able to attend a wrestling event and now we get to go to two in one week. I can't wait.

Last Day
This was my last day at ICCC. I had to finals to take and now I'm free. What a wonderful feeling to be done at this school. I can't believe how fast this school year has gone. I'm sure it had a lot to do with how much better my living arrangements were. I'm really looking forward to summer now.

The Challenge Dividend
I am not very old but I definitely have experienced challenges already in my life. One that I can think of is when my parents insisted at the age of 14 that I apply for a job at the new Pizza Ranch that was opening up. Of course, I was alittle apprehensive and nervous. But I did put in my application and sure enough I was called to start working there. At first, I'm pretty sure I had doubts inside myself as to if I could do this job. The criticisms I had to endure through the learning process tended to draw me down but the challenge to learn this job and do it well was strong. I ended up working there for over 5 years. I later became a night supervisor so the challenge made me strive to work hard and got me to climb the ladder somewhat. Challenges in life are good. We may not always feel that way but they can make us improve in ourselves and become stronger individuals.
The Challenge Dividend is a blog that promotes that challenge drives improvement in business, culture, government and individual people. This blog is highly informative and interesting and worth checking out.

Finals
This week I am having to take my finals. Normally I don't have school on Tuesday but tomorrow I have finals most of the day. It will be so nice when they are done and then on Saturday I graduate. I can then look forward to moving on to a bigger school and that's exciting. I can't believe I have 2 years behind me already. I don't know where the time has gone.

Homeschooled
I was a homeschooled child from Kindergarten till 8th grade. It was the best and once we started public school I really missed being at home. The school day was much shorter and we didn't have to eat those nasty school lunches. We also didn't have to put up with the bulling that goes on so much in school these days. My mom did a great job at teaching us and we did very well at learning. I have no regrets about being homeschooled, only fond memories.
Reverse Cell Phone Lookup Service
I get so tired of phone calls on my cell phone that I don't recognize. Most of them are someone trying to sell something. I have signed up my number with the National No Call Registry and that has helped a lot but it seems some calls still get through. There is this great Reverse Cell Phone Lookup service for any number whether its listed or not that is now available. You can now track any phone number from a call you receive and get information about the owner of that number to determine if it was a call you really needed to answer. Answering your phone can now be stress free.
Demon Hunter
Demon Hunter is my favorite Christian music artist. They are coming out with a new cd in May and I can't wait to get it. My parents are buying me an autographed version of it for a gift for my college graduation. This type of music probably isn't for a some people because it is pretty hard stuff but I love it and I love the lyrics that they sing. They are positive and give praise to the Lord. They have a pretty sweet website that I visit quite frequently.
