Update... yet again

A'righty. Here it is. So far today, I have spent my time working on math, which I was a teensy bit behind on, reading, which I am unbelievably behind on, (usually un-heard of,) and trying to keep a straight face. Going to get shoes, my mom left me and my brothers in the car with a warning: There was a man going around begging, lying that he needed bus money. So when some a teenager decided to jump infront of my passenger window making a face, I admit I was more than slightly spooked. I believe he was doing it to entertain his girlfriend, (in the car next to ours) but still. Come on. I did, however, manage to keep a staight face. I tried to give him a stare of death, but I think it came out as a stare of slight hinderance. Though I say again, I was tempted to scream like a little girl. I probaly should have, as it would have really got the guy running. But no. I decided not to humiliate myself. While at least I got off with my pride, and the guy looked a little humiliated himself when I failed to solicit any reaction. Anyways, my mom took me into the store, and showed me my new shoes... HEELYS! (Hey, I waited that long to use all caps... Bravo to me. hee-hee...) Right now, it takes all my concentration not to just fall on my face, but I'm sure I'll get it... some day...

Right O'. Here's my playlist. It's up top because it's the only place it fits. It isn't playing on it's own, so you have to press play. Is that normal???

Recently, I've been working on a playlist. My dad found out, and he wanted to "contribute," shall we say. I've been getting into John Williams recently, therefore, this video. John Williams is the man...

Asleep :: My day so far

This morning I woke up at 8:20. I went up stairs without really thinking, asleep on my feet. The I went over to wait for our one bathroom to open up, sat down and fell asleep on my backside. Dad woke me up, I used the restroom, and walked out to wait for the water to warm up, so that I could take a shower. Then I saw the most welcoming thing I've ever set eyes on: The couch. With a big warm mattress. And a small fluffy pillow. Laid down on it and BOOM! Out like a light. I do vaguely remember waking up a couple of times after that, but none of them were long enough to keep me up. Three hours later my eyes opened up. 11:30! (Not at ALL the norm for me. At ALL.) So I got up, despairing over my bad luck. 6 inches of snow, and I had to stay in doing homework all morning. I walked out past my fam with my face downcast, mumbling of things that I thought I wouldn't be able to do, when suddenly my mom, My heavenly Amazing, Awesome mom says,"You know what? I think we should take a snow day!" My morning was saved. I shoveled the sidewalk and drank cocoa. I ate Taco Bell. I sat down to write my first article of winter.( In my opinion, winter starts when it snows. Really Snows.) Yes. I am in heaven.

GIMP

Booooooooyaaaaaaah! I. Got. GIMP!(Hence the new header. You likey?) I am so happy! So very very happy! I'm so happy I could... make a blend! One Problem though:What's a blend?

Another Template/backround/whatever-you-call-it

Another template/whatever. Is this one any better than last. My reviews were mixed for the last, so I decided against it... for now. This one is, again, thanks to Eldarwen. Thanks! Check out my poll!

Hangin' Around

Man. Life is good for me right now. Me and my mom spent the evening makin' chicken marsala, goat cheese walnut and spinach salad, and sparkling Pomegranate drink, which we bought at the store. ( Just the Pomegranate Drink. The rest we made from scratch.) It was so good! My mom is a amazing chef, not to mention the Apple crisp to top it all off. (Made by yours truly!)

Whoofta! I have been reading like Crazy for the last few days, and one of the books REALLY stink. ("Who's Crazy," you may ask, "and why are you reading like him?" I honestly don't know.) The book I'm so fed up with is (This isn't the origianl pic, but it's WAY better.)

Midnight for Charley Bone. It isn't some little kids book, like it sounds, but a book for kids that are in the range of 7-12... maybe 13. Anyway, the reasons I don't like it is that the story is fantastic, but the author keeps rushing into different types of scenes. It's like, "Charlie said to his friend Fidelio, "Hey, Why don't we go to the pond?" then he turns around, dodges a bullet, a smacks his great aunt across the face. WHAT!? Come On! Jenny Nimmo has the story, but she just can't write. Bad Mix. Also, It's a really bad take off on Harry Potter, which is just... Un-heard of. So there you have it.

Bemidji!!!

Alright, I lied. Ijust have to post! This is amazing up here. Bemidji. *sigh* My gramma is letting me take pics on her Iphone, here some are.

Me and the cutest 3 year old in the world, my cousin Iver. This is my sleeping area, with my king size bed, my giant comforter, (@ my feet,) and my giant flat screen TV. (it's behind the camera. (: )

This is the view off the upper balcony. That lake is so much fun to swim in... When it isn't 25 degrees F. That might not be such a great move. Might not.

And finally, the grand finale.. Gramma's making Special Itallian soup! Sorry Monseth's and Martin's, I just had to brag. :)

That's all for now, -Seth

Thanks giving trip

Whoopee! I'm going to Bemidji! It's in Northern Minnesota, where my grandparents live. Gonna have tasty food, time with my fam, and possibly a late night movie? (please dad? :) So sweet! My grandma has to be the best cook in the history of eva', and she is the one providing a thanksgiving feast. SCORE! So, as a result of being in Bemidji, (and stuffing my face) I won't be posting for a while. :( sorry. Now to go say high to my good buddy Paul...

Not So Much

Yes, the picture may be crudely illustrated... not the best... Ok it's downright awful, but it gets the point across. No more fake global warming!!! A hacker just recently got into some scientist's emails and files that suggest that global warming is BOGUS - and put them out to the world online. The scientists didn't want to reveal the truth because their findings didn't support global warming. You can read about it HERE. I give that BIG times beans. Honestly. Well, now we know... is the world ending? Not so Much.

New Template

I'VE GOT A NEW TEMPLATE!!! Thank you Eldarwen! So Happy! What do you think? Do my poll on! ->

Bloggin' Blues

I need help. I have been looking and looking for a new blog template, but I keep having the same problem: They're all to girly!!! Where can I find some cool templates? I've already checked Cutest blog on the block, Hot Bliggity Blog, and Shabby Blogs... are there any others?

More updates

My Uncle is here! I've been waiting for this foreva'! So exited! Also, my brother got guitar hero 5! So awesome! I played for hours the first day we got it! ... not to mention the second day... ar the third... I got a Alvin and the Chipmunks shirt! (One of my favorite bands) and I also started working on a playlist! Good times, yet again.

Hey all! Another allagory just popped into my head today, during my youth group:180. Check it out: "When one comes from a dark place, as all have, spiritualy and physicaly, they immediately cling to the darkness. For the light hurts, and the darkness beckons them into what seems is safety. But in the dark you see nothing, and the dark hides the truth. But if you stand in the light, your eyes will adjust, and you will see the truth all around you." Make sense?

Status Report

Just recently, I've been working on my new novel, "Naleon," I've been reading "The Thief and the Beanstalk," and I've been sending emails to some of my favorite authors:P.W. Catanese and Wayne Thomas Batson. And guess what? THEY BOTH REPLIED!!! SO AWESOME! -Seth

I just thought of something, and wanted to share it with someone. Live in the present. If you live in the past, you have accomplished nothing. If you live in the future, you have nothing to do, in which case there is no point for your existance. But if you point yourself toward the current situation, you may find, that you have accomplished much, but still have much ahead of you. Think about that. -Seth

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur

Just watched Ice Age Dawn of the Dinosaur... and it was Awesome! That was one of the best movies I've ever seen! I saw it, and I just had to post these quotes.

#1:When did you lose your mind?
#2:Three months ago. I woke up married to a pineapple. She was an ugly pineapple... but I loved her.

#2: He's the greatest beast known to man. I call him... Rudy.
#1:Oh, good. I thought it would be something intimidating, like Sheldon, or Tim.

#2: And then I was swallowed by the great beast.
#'s3&4:Did you die?
#2:Sadly, yes... But I lived!

This is SO sweet! :) -Seth

My Gramma just showed up at our house, I just got finished with a whole bunch of chores, and now I'm wondering what to do. Email's to look at, my Gramma keeps trying to talk to me, everyone is giddy, and now my gramma pulled a fast one on me and proclaimed, "Why don't we go to Biaggi's?" What?! Oh man! My gramma is taking me out to eat, AND I have to go with my family?! Not fair! PPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF! Yeah right! I Can't wait!

Just 4 days ago, my grampa called my mom and said, "In a couple of days there is going to be some authors talking about there book, and I want to know if the boy's want to go and see them." Of course we are going .There is no way I could miss it. So tonight I'm going to see the author of Peter and the Star Catchers. Awesome.

What will the Skogerboes and Nickolays be for halloween? A group of traveling monks? A elite group of ninjas? A zoo? Who Knows? Coming soon: THE SKOGERBOES/NICKOLAYS ROCK!

I just found these quotes by C.S.Lewis a second ago: "You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body." "A man can no more no diminish the Glory of God by refusing to worship him then a prisoner can put out the sun by scribbling the word "darkness" on the walls of his cell." "Can a mortal ask questions which God finds un-answerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are un-aswerable." "God can not give us peace and happiness apart from himself, for it is not there. There is no such thing." Can you not feel the wisdom radiating from his words? :) -Seth

hobby

Yesterday, I went to a book sale. I spent $9.50 on 11 of my favorite books. So happy. LIFE IS GOOD!!! As many of you know, I am a book fanatic. I have recently begun collecting books, and this is EXACTLY what I needed! Good times.

Today I am going to see the #1 C.S.Lewis Scholar in the WORLD... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

SO AWESOME! I am supposed to be finding out the secret meanings of Narnia! (and not just the religious ones) This is so freaky exciting! CAN'T WAIT!

I have been off the computer world waaaaaaaay to long. My eyes no longer have jagged red streaks, I do not have a cold, and I haven't blogged a thing about the notorious "Brandon Fairve"... I mean, "Brewt Fervee"... Or whatever that famous football guy's name is. (I don't watch much football.) And to Chloe's blogging about Candy Corn... I believe that may have been the bes t blogging subject ever. Continue the good work, Chloe! -Seth

At this moment, I am typing from my grandpa's office. He is my new history teacher. We have been staying the evening at his house, and this is my account of are stay so far. Right before I walked in the door my mom stopped me and said, "Alright now, Seth. When you go in that door, don't try to distract grandpa.(something I would never dream of, by the way) don't try to go do something on the computer quick, (don't worry, I already finished my lessons, Mom.) or go and run around downstairs, or ask for a snack or try to start a movie. " Well, As soon as we got in the door, My Grandpa said, "Why don't we go downstairs and look at the new door we had put in?" We all hung out downstairs for a while. But I, being the bookworm that I am, Urged them back upstairs, in hopes of starting our new history booklet. Immediately, as soon as we got up the stairs, my grandmother ushered us in to the kitchen for a snack. Of course. So I ate the cheese and crackers, which my grandmother insisted were such important nutrients that they must be consumed before our work. At this point, I was starting to feel like Grandpa was trying to distract Grandpa. Finally, We got to are lessons, which turned out to be very interesting, studying the early nomads. After we finished, My grandpa insisted upon watching a movie with the younger boys while I used the computer (Oh, the irony!), which is where I am now. This has been an account of my ironic evening with my grandparents. -Seth

Hey people! Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been caught up in school and all the glorious free time that comes with the homeschooling "package." I have recently begun emailing some of my friends from the private school I used to go to, obtained a lead part in a play, and found a cool new website online.(www.elementsthegame.com) Check it out if you have time. Great graphics. Well, I have to go jump in the giant leaf pile that my brothers built outside. Later,
Seth

I just found out last night that "Percy Jackson- The lightning thief " MOVIE is being produced. I have only one thing to say about that... WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. ancore.

I am sick. My whole house is sick. School is currently the farthest thing from my mind. I'm dizzy, I have a tummy ache, and my stomach is making so much noise that I'm almost convinced it's talking to me. I'm one of the last people to get sick, so I have hope that I'll be able to go out in public again soon. This house is NOT where I want to be, though I have to admit that being sick has some advantages, even if they are infinitesimally small. Just recently, while lying on my couch, I have been able to watch the movie Harry Potter 2, The Chamber of Secrets. Very interesting, if I do say so myself...

Do to the limited supply of energy, and the current recession, we have decided to shut down the Light at the End of the Tunnel. -God

Sorry about that last post.:-) System Malfunction.

My little brother Ezra is in some sort of mood swing. He's Hilarious to listen to! He sits there going, "Ooooooooo... AAAAAAAAAAHH!" I'm going to try to get a sound byte...

I just had devotions with with brother and God-sister and we realized some thing that I am going to post.

-God existed before existence, therefore creating his very own category-in with anything and nothing. What I mean by this is that he is obviously not nothing , but He can not possibly be something, because He existed before anything, bringing you to the conclusion that you are either something, nothing, or God. (confusing, eh?) To narrow it down it down even further, I will label you with one of these three. You are obviously not God, for God is the one putting these thoughts in my head, and you cannot possibly be nothing.(I'm not going to explain myself on that one.) Therefore you must be something. Also, if God always existed, at what point in time did he decide to create existence? Well, if you think about it, time would not exist yet, so he could not possibly have decided on a point in time to create time. Yet another thing are small minds cannot comprehend.

I have recently been tagged by a buddy of mine. I have a pretty small grasp of what being tagged means, but I think I know a little bit of what I'm doing. Please forgive me if I'm wrong. Here goes...

Who is your favorite male character and what book is he from?

That is tough, but I think I'm going to have to say that my favorite male character is Reepacheep from my all time favorite series, The Chronicles of Narnia. He so inclined to honor those his superiors and those around him, and to give his all for his King. I laugh when I think about it, but I actually look up to him.

Who is your favorite female character, and what is she in?

My favorite female character. Hmmmmm... I think that my favorite would have to be Annabeth Chase of The Percy Jackson Series. She self confident (in a good way) and has a deep love of knowledge and architecture.

Who is your favorite Author/ book series by him?

Definitely, without doubt, Clive Staples (C.S.) Lewis. He is a genius! My favorite book series by him has to be Narnia.

Who is your favorite character in a book you know someone else is writing?

Linx, in my brother's book newest book, The Beginning of Linx.

Least favorite character from a book you read?

Thanatos Argus bascania from the Erec Rex series.

Thanks, jake! I really enjoyed this!

I just found out that one of my favorite authors, John Flanagan, has come out with a new book, Ranger's Apprentice book six!!!!!!! Anything that John comes out with is a must read, in my opinion. Look it up!

I am super exited to go to the Rock the River Tour! Im kinda questioning the bands name decisions, though. Decemberadio? Sure it sounds cool and stuff, but really. Why December? Cause they're *cool?* Why not November, or September? And SuperChick? COME ON. What kind of people name their band after a baby bird? Flyleaf? "We're... green. And... Uh...
We drink... water." Come on guys. Can't you think of something better than that?

I have a question. What happens when you get scared half to death... twice? Cause I've been scared half to death plenty O' times, And I don't feel any difference! Also, have you ever heard anyone say, "WOW! You scared me three sixteenths to death!" Nuh-Uh. Why not! I think everybody should give some more respect to the smaller fractions.

I,m now at the library. The true home of a book addict.

The Library ROCKS!

I am currently trying to navigate the hulla-balloo of creating a profile. Why do they need to know the occupation of my Great-Grandma's half sister?
