my friend matthew

Oh my goodness. It's already Sunday. Just look at how fast the weekend goes by. Isn't it depressing? Well, I hope today goes as well as yesterday! Have a good one kids.

COS was on the close-down today. All the classes were cancelled because there was a toxic waste spill in the quad and all the teachers mutated into zombies and we're like, "Rawr, we're too dead to teach today, rawr."

I couldn't help it. Nyssa and I went down and bought a freakin' mouse!!! It's so awesome and CUTE! Remember those books about the sideways school?! Wayside School!!! YEAH!!!

Well I think I'm pretty much all better. I wish I didn't have to spend my weekend under the covers but that's pretty much how it went down. Soooo, Matt left but Will's home. Otherwise, it sounds like everything is flowin' well. Good day to you all. And a big "Thanks!" to Nyssa for taking care of me this weekend.

I'm lucky to be here posting today... Why? Because I almost died yesterday. I was sick as a dog and my temp got up to 103. It's back down now but jeez. My head felt like it was gonna explode.

Brad Pitt's new movie sounds like it will be hilarious. I'm so excited.

Nyssa, studying even harder.

Studying hard.

The other day while I was skating around my block. I took this one from the end of my cul-de-sac over Blain Park.

Do you ever just feel like everything's going great? I do.

Happy Saint Valentine's Day everyone!!!

Went snowboarding today with Will and Dustin from work. It was pretty fun. It was the first time I haven't driven up all season. It was pretty relaxing. :) Good times everyone! Love everyone... Seriously.

Gibson softens 'Passion' for Easter release

"But Gibson noted that many people had avoided the film because of its grisly portrayal of Jesus Christ being tortured by Roman troops."

It's hard for me to believe that people avoided the film and decided that they couldn't sit and watch a portrayal of what Jesus endured for our sins. No one was asking them to be tortured, whipped and hung up on a cross. Just to visually and audibly experience what Jesus did for us. I'm not calling them panzies or wusses, just ungrateful. Everyone I've talked to has said that the movie has given them a better understanding of what Jesus did for us. If they want to boldly push that away, I think they should have a reality check with the Lord.

What a beautiful day outside. I hope tomorrow's just as wonderful!

I've got really bad allergies. I hate my nose.

This is probably the coolest thing you'll see all day. Click the snowflake.

After a great morning of cancelled classes and lunch with Nyssa I had a wonderful afternoon with my good buddy Will. We went on a bike ride to the park and played frisbee then went on a bikeride to In-N-Out and jumped on the trampoline and watched Dane Cook... Then I ride through my neighborhood and up to my driveway to find the back window of my car busted out. What the heck?! I honestly do not know anyone who'd want to do this to me. If you do, please tell me because I'm oblivious that anyone out there hates me. Anyway. It freakin' sucks. Goodnight.

Bored in class.

I call this one, "Sky Over Visalia"

Oh Nyssa. She's always playin' with that dumb lamb out back.

Doesn't sound like it's gonna happen. Today was the day I was supposed to help that family out and no one has called. Awe... I'm home today recuperating from my long week.

I forgot to mention to you guys that I may get to help this family teach their kids how to ski. Yeah. This lady just came in like a week ago and was like, "What are you doing next Saturday?" I was shocked but I obliged. She said she was gonne pay me $20 an hour while I teach her 3 little kids and they were gonna pay for gas. Anyway, I'm stoked.

I feel like I did when I first started waterpolo. I haven't used my car since yesterday morning and I've made 4 one-way-trips between home and COS, and only 2 between here and Sport Chalet. My legs feel like jelly and I'm exhausted. I think I'm gonna keep this up until Friday. I might have to use my car to get down to DisneyLand.

Will and I went on a bike ride last night. We were having fun just cruizin'. Then he decided to do this huge misty flip off of MiMi's Cafe and broke his shocks. It sucked but it was still an adventure after that. I've been riding my bike a little more lately. I'm about to take it to get to the library because Nyssa said that yesterday was the day they start giving tickets for parking in the lots. Yeah, I think I'd rather ride my bike than pay another 30 bucks to those fools. Oh and your probably wondering why I don't just buy a parking pass? Well my credit card is gone and I cancelled it and secondly, I don't NEED one. Haha!!! Maybe I'll just ride my bike the rest of my life. :) Oh yeah, if someone wants to buy it for like $300 bucks, I'll sell it right now! I'm gonna get a new one.

And... Will's work of art...

Me looking up at you.

Will smiling about the prize he found in the Cheerios box that morning.

This is our little buddy that we picked on. He didn't have a shirt on and he threw a snowball at an old man when he fell... So we got him. No shirt + Big slash = Cold shivers
