What happens if I mess with Texas?
Oh man, it's been a zillion years since I posted...I know! But what a great way to comeback with a post about the Feast!Come and gone, just like that, another one of God's fantastic Feast of Tabernacles! This year was the year to crack open my listening and focusing potential; the messages were absolutely fantastic... The first day we had Mr. Smith give the first service sermon while Mr. Bryce gave the second sermon, quite possibly the best 1st day ever for me...I really hope those sermons were recorded. :) Now before I delve into everything that went on I have to point out what was special about Texas. Texas... is a lone star. Nobody! gloats asmuch as they do... "Don't mess with Texas" that, "we say howdy all the time" this! Bleh. Oh and I expected a lot more fat guys with pistols and cowboy hats, but instead I got just a bunch of guys who just wear cowboy hats!? Where's the guns!? Not to mention oil derricks...I wanted to see oil!!! Mehh Texas was not at all what I had imagined. Just a bunch of cowboy-hat-wearin-we-say-howdy-all-the-time-our-state-is-better-than-you peoples... You all make me sick. I demand euphoria!!!
As for everything else it was awesome, sunday I went to six flags with pretty much everyone except Charles and Cole (the other half of everyone else went to Seaworld--bah) I won a football pillow at the "throw the football through the tire" game and various other stuffed plush novelties. After crazy rides and 20 dollars worth of mini-games and arcade games later we went to some mexican place. That was the first dose of excitement. Other various things we did the rest of the week included going to wal-mart literally 5-6 times, burning rubber, rolling down the windows going to tacobell and turning the mexican station up full blast. Chocolates with love notes (from Charles ;0 to women), David Hasselhoff spanish dubbed movie, completely owning everyone in bowling 4 out of 5 games. Going to an outlet mall with nothing but clothing stores (naturally), getting schooled by a bunch of black guys in basketball, going down the river and in the schute, and finally coming home and finding out I smoked my GED (oh yes!). Mind you I'm going to get my homeschool diploma too, the college I plan to attend wanted me to take it despite homeschooling...meh. Oh and we also played ultimate frisbee at night. That was all good and fun until I hurt my finger, looked pretty bad at the time, but it wasn't that bad. A good closing with everyone was the friday night dinner at applebees. We had tremendous fun there, not to mention Cole clocking the daylights out me and my chair (that's right AND the chair) After the LGD me, Charles and Monique rented a movie and stayed out until 1:00. 4 hours later I wake up load the car and off we go back home.
A few Feast notes:
-There were no bears
-New Braunfels had the greatest waterpark in the world named "Schlitterbahn" but it was closed
-Texas is full of themselves
-Everyroad has atleast 1 SUV and 1 truck on it
-Charles sings in the shower, loudly.
-Mexican food has its revenge
-Bowling alley grilled cheese sandwiches are good
-Friday Night Lights is a good movie
-I'm sick of "Howdy"
-I'd like to hear more "Howdy-doo-dees"
-Missouri is like an oasis in a desert of states considering what Missouri is surrounded by.
-High school football in Texas is full throttle
-I want to be the next urban ninja
As for everything else in my life I'm pretty much the same, I never did post about pre-teen. Most of you who read my blog were there anyways... and school is lame, I'm wearing fuzzy slippers more often and I've ascended in ping-pong. The Cardinals are in the world series, I'm really psyched about that. Also, tonight my dad started a fire (chimney-fire) for the first time in the Graham household since like 3 years ago. It was grand!
Anything else that I want to say I'll just tell you later.
