what am i doing?

im doing stuff. i'll be working here at the church. and hanging out with my best friend before he goes to the air force. im actually really sad. not that he's leaving but i won't have any contact with him for 6 months. and helping a little with my boy scout troop. and that preaty much defines my life

If I were editor?

If I were editor? Nice. Well as far as tips go, keep your motivation, the blog’s may last for the night but joy comes in the morning, sometimes. Do your research, don’t be a Stephan Glass. Make it fun, laugh and cut up. It helps the atmosphere. These are my tips now let me explain.
(spoiler alert) Blog’s, so much joy involved with that word. The countless hours of endless joy you will have with these NBD’s. Now seriously they teach you how to write and write well. They put you in a position close to what we do in this class which is write the paper.
The motivation you had coming into this class, if you had any, you need to keep it. Be excited to write something that people read and are affected by weather they admit it or not. Its read by teachers parents students, including the elementary. They love it all.
Research is so important, the reference to Stephan Glass you’ll get when Mrs. Meloncon shows you that movie. It keeps you accountable, so people can double check your work. It also adds a solid background for what your saying. it’s a good idea take my word on it.
If I were editor? I really don’t know. “no one likes to be the man that follows the man”, its sort of where I am. Nathan was an awesome editor, I would be proud just follow his lead. So for me I will keep it rolling. He started something and I would love to keep it going.
Thank you for a good year everyone, wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Maybe

1. Building a mini greenhouse in your garden is an inexpensive, easy, low-tech way to start gardening earlier in spring and to extend the gardening season well into fall. This greenhouse uses a hoop house design and it can be covered with plastic, row cover material or shade cloth, making it a versatile and useful addition to the garden. The greenhouse takes under an hour to construct and uses materials that you can find in any hardware store.

2.Buying a hard drive involves considering whether it should be an internal or external hard drive, figuring out what the computer will support and researching many manufacturers to find the right one. Choose the right hard drive, either to replace an old one or to provide extra memory space, with information from an experienced software developer in this free video on computers.

3.Recovering hard drive data can be a difficult and complex task. Learn about different options for recovering data from a hard drive including software programs and companies that specialize in recovering data with these tips from an experienced computer user in this free video on computer hardware.

4. One of the most annoying things to encounter when cooking is a blunt knife, and this becomes very evident when you try to slice a tomato or dice an onion. A sharp knife is a chef's best friend and therefore it's helpful if you know how to sharpen kitchen knives.
Home sharpening methods include using a sharpening steel, drawing knives across a flat sharpening stone, or using a commercial knife sharpener

5. how to sing well It's. you warm up your voice before any type of vocal session or performance! Just as an athlete would warm up before a big game, you must warm up before you use your vocal cords. A lot of vocal injuries are caused by singers not taking the proper time to warm up. Don't cause strain on your vocal cords by trying to hit those high notes without a full vocal warm up exercise

6. Although big league history changes with the calendar and waits until next year, baseball video gaming is never out of season. In order to give your playing a sense of purpose beyond recreation, never lose sight of the fact that any kind of game play counts whether it's for casual fun or serious competition. This frame of mind will help lend legitimacy to your experience as you trade the pro ranks of real life for armchair athletic fields of dreams on your PC or console.

7. the best video game. Consider first what you enjoy doing for fun when thinking of your video game to choose. Each game appeals to a different audience and you may be able to determine what you would like based on what you normally like to do for fun.

8. Figuring out if a girl likes you requires paying attention to her behavior, her words and her body language. You'll need to notice how she acts toward you compared with how she acts around everyone else. (yes its lagit http://www.ehow.com/list_6516765_signs-girl-likes-high-school.html)

9. talking to girls. Simply go up and say hi. This sounds easy but sometimes it is hard to do. Casually noticing her and saying hi is the right way to start. they preaty much take it from there

10. In a high stakes game, with two equally talented teams vying for the victory, motivation may be the deciding factor. Athletes and their coaches employ a variety of motivational techniques in order to achieve optimum performance during competition, and much research in the field of sports psychology is dedicated to uncovering the secrets of motivation.

ode to all of you

This is an ode to you Sarah. I enjoyed working with you, I didn’t even know you before this class but now I feel I know you very well. I know you’ve heard it time and time again but, you made it your graduating and that’s a major accomplishment. Good luck to you as your off to college or wherever God calls you.
This is an ode to you Tina, or as your known to some as Bonita Tina. Now I know your not “in” our class but you brought a lot of laughter and brightness ever since you walked into the class room that first day. I hope you move on to something you enjoy or better yet something ordained by God. Keep on brightening the world with that bright smile of yours.
This is an ode to you Nathan. Being the leader you were in journalism you affected more then just me. you brought more then comedy and leadership you taught me about righting. I would read you letter and wish I could right like that. In a way you did, I learned I should right like I talk, just like you. Well good luck in the world.
This is an ode to you Chase. Now the first thing that sticks out to me about is your personality, loud and bold. Many times you had us laughing, and those are the memories I will cherish from this class, yes the blogs were hard but it made it worth coming to class. So to you Chase have fun out there in the world.
This is an ode to you Lakeisha. I’m gona miss you sittin in front of me. Its gona be hard getting use to not having no seniors case already it fells empty. Especially since there is only 2 other people in the section of seats. But I’ll live its just gona be so hard to. I know you told us about a heart song and now I encourage you to follow yours.
this is an ode to you Bria. Well I’m sorry I don’t have and deep something to tell you cause quite frankly I didn’t really get to know you. In light of that you still were a senior in the class and by default you became a leader of the class. You encouraged us to keep going. that’s the word I have for you keep goin.
this is an ode to you Chelsey. Let me start of right, 4th hour. And that’s where I first met you. Now I don’t know you well but I still enjoyed you being here so that I wasn’t the only 4th hour Person. I can tell when some one is called and its true for you never drought it.

Brandon T



This was one of my best friends when I first came to Bethany. I already sort of knew him from church. But I really got to know him a lot better. He’s turned out to be a awesome friend and man of God. He’s encouraged me and helped with whatever I needed.
I said he was a man of God and this will take a whole paragraph to tell. We’ve spent hours in warfare together either at church or just in his room. Its said that when your in battle with someone you know them better. Well speaking from experience its true. He challenges me to be better spiritually and/or physically. I could go on and on but that was 5 sentences, I know yall understand.
He’s done lots of different activities with me or him with me however you like it. He use to run track with us before he got hurt, pity, He was good. Then we love video games(can I get an amen) particularly Halo. A good memory of playin video games with him is when we got the game burnout. Oh my gosh that was so fun. It rewards you for blowing up cars and the amount of damage you do in a car. We had lots of fun, defiantly a guy game.
"If you can't kill a big deer, kill 2 little ones" Uncle Butch. That summons up Brandon’s life besides God. He goes up to a hunting camp down the road from me. Becomes a country red-neck and he shots whatever moves. that’s what he douse for his weekends during hunting season. Then on Monday wakes up washes his red-neck look off, but somehow misses his speech. He still talks country I’m gona guess that doesn’t come out.
All this together makes a friend that I’m proud to have. Now I’m not a girl I wont start crying or anything, and don’t take it weird but “I love you man” with as much sincerity as I can. You’ve been a good friend. That sounds like a farewell letter but I’ll see you next hour.

prom 2010

Well prom was awesome. Everyone looked so pretty/handsome. And it looked like everyone had an good time. Between the vintage dancers, diner, and the awards everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Even when it ended and everyone left to go to wherever they were going.
When me and my date(Katie) got there, there was no one else there besides Mrs. Moise and the workers. So we sat on the patio over looking the parade grounds and talked. We were there a little early and there were people suppose to betaking pictures already but I guess not. We actually were the photographer’s test subjects, he needed someone to look at to get the right look.
Then people started to arrive and it slowly picked up. We still had a while to waste so we went back on the patio. We talked and laughed about whatever. This is a great pass time for someone who is bored and lonely, surround yourself with awesome GODLY friends. A privilege I have all the time. Like on that night.
Then the vintage dancers arrived we were excited to step on the floor to try though we didn’t really know what the heck we were doin’. they started with something very similar to square dancing, which I love and have done quite a lot. So the first dance was fun and easy to pick up after a second. Then the second one was a waltz and that had one part that I couldn’t get which made the whole rest of the dance hard.
We had to stop that early cause we were behind schedule so we set and ate. While we were finishing eating they began to give awards and superlatives. Corey Landry, like usual, stole most of the awards. The superlatives were few and very uninventive. You could tell that little planning went into them.
Then the “prom” ended and every thought went to two words, “after party” a few pictures and farewells were exchanged. Then everyone separated and went where ever they went. Me and Katie had to get home early cause of engagements on Monday. I dropped her off in zacary and I went another 40min. Home. But I do not regret any of it.

My year in journalism

This has been/is a awesome year. The people really make a class and I am proud to call you classmates. This class can seem difficult or monotonous with all those blogs but to get perfection you have to do it over and over again. Ouch that hurt coming out. This class was awesome, I listened to music, played on the computer, took funny pictures with mrs. M’s computer, and so much more. Now nothing compares to 4th hour but its close.
Blogs oh my gosh this was such a big deal I had to devote a whole paragraph to them. Well first off, where in the world did you get all those websites. Like completely random sites to play “games”. if you call ripping someone’s leg off a game, yea very educational.
This class showed me that I really don’t mind writing. Besides 5 paragraphs of 5-7 sentences. Those, yea really not to much of a fan of those. Writing the stories are actually really fun. I’m not the best writer in the world, trust me on this one. I highly enjoy it tough I’m not to good.
We’ve had a lot of issues this year, and while some people dreaded it I was waiting for the next chance to write for the newspaper. I was told that last year they had to build the paper in Photoshop with one computer, that sounded so hard. Now we have a legit computer lab with a good program.
I think of this class as one of those pictures of a single object but look closer and its lots of individual pictures.

Rural meaning country life meaning to live. Museum for boring place to look at stuff. But don’t get me wrong it is interesting, but Mrs. Maloncon honestly. We do much cool stuff and now going here. Now let me stop and say here. I’m totally joking and could care less. Anyway I will now continue completely joking.
Now we could have taken trips to the Advocate or to something like that but were going to a rural life museum. Like I said before rural life is country living. Not exactly what we are studying. If you forgot we study newspaper or more specifically journalism.
Now this museum has lots of things to like they have the regular attractions of rural life with livestock and old houses and tools. They also have a garden and stuff like that too.
Now the whole thing has a overall theme witch is very obvious being in LA. All of us know that LA had lots of plantations around. That is the theme of this museum.

On my honor
The scout oath; on my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, to obey the scout law, to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong mentally awake and morally strait. These are the rules that the scouts take to. it’s a oath of excellence physically, morally, and ethnically. Eagle scouts are held to the highest accountability in these categories. Some of our presidents have been eagle scouts. Now I am among there ranks, I have the responsibility of the rank I have now.
Getting eagle is no joke, it takes years to accomplish what eagle requires. 21 badges ranging from personal fitness or personal management to wilderness survival. Public service hours approximately 20 hours. Also leadership in the local troop. These requirements can make you more responsible. This is the goal of boy scouts to take boys and prepare them being a man. Unfortunately there is a age limit to boy scouts its 18. All requirements have to be completed by your 18th birthday, all besides the board of review. There are branches of boy scouts that are for people up to 21. This is a great accomplishment and I am happy to have it completed.

2. BCS mission’s trip
I’ve been asked to describe the trip in one word. I had to tell them that one word would be to hard. But if I had to try, this trip was colossal. I grew so much spiritually. Now I’ve been on trips that were harder but the difference is that trip your there not for fun but for ministry. Yes the hike was tough but you lean on God so much it seams its easier than it should be. The seven and a half hour that it took really didn’t feel like it. I was singing and laughing so much that it went so fast. I’ve been asked to go back and I will most defiantly go back. And I encourage you too, if you can go, do it.

God Given Talent

God is good, his love endures forever. Some people have unbelievable talent. Just look at the Guinness book of world records, they have the fastest man alive or best at whatever. Michal Phelps is the undisputed fastest swimmer in the world, that’s crazy. Usain Bolt the fastest man in the world has broke his own record. He even makes it look easy. They are not Christians and they have changed the world of sports.
These people are amazing at those things but what are you good at? You can probably think of at least one thing your good at. Now good at and talented at are two different things. Good at is something you have to work extra hard to get. Like a sport, you have to work hard at it. Maybe your just talented, being able to do something without having to work so hard. It can be something as simple as righting poetry. I have no earthly desire to do that and no talent for that either. But some of you like it and have a talent for that.
Now use that for Gods glory and give him praise. Talent is God given, most people don’t realize that, they think that they deserve that. They don’t give God credit they go about using that talent. Now here’s the challenge, or maybe not a challenge more a question. Do you use the talents that you have for his glory or do you use it for your own means.
Yes, awesome then you probably can relate to this. You use you talent, and God blessed you or will in the future. The people who lean on him are usually more satisfied with whatever they do cause they love God, and most Christian people have decided that win or lose they will give God the glory.
Everyone doesn’t have that reassurance. They live for there own pleasure. The happiness of victory but they also have a huge “down” when they lose cause they have no reason to be happy cause they have no victory to reassure them. This is why some people strive for perfection, and that’s a good thing, but no ones perfect. When they fail there’s nothing to satisfy.
This column was suppose to help you see the real reason why you have a talent and hopefully you answered that you use it for his glory. But if you for fun its not bad but you need to commit that its for the Lord and do it all out. Thanks for reading.
