So hey I havn't quite written in a while no biggy. Sue me if you missed me ok. Any ways there are a lot of great stories I have to tell you.
From present to past
First off we recently had our AC die in our house so the whole family stayed at my girlfriends house till it got fixed. (Major benifits for me. I got to stay at my girlfriends house for like a week straight.) Today we got it running though so bummer for me. No biggy though, I'll just have to deal with it. It was funny though cause for like four days we would have the house temperature up in the 90's.
Prior to the death and return of our AC I went on a vacation with my girlfriend, Rachel, and her mother, Rita. We went to Vegas and I met her father for the first time in person. I thought that it was so cool. On the return trip we took a little off road trip right into a barbed wire fence. Fourtunatly, two guys stoped and had bolt cutters to cut the wires and shovels to lossen the dirt around our car. We were very gifted to get out of that little mess before police showed up and within 30 mins. After that we decided that I wasn't gonna drive on the country roads anymore. Lol, (oops :-/).
Prior to the Vegas journey. We, my family and Rita, went to Callifornia. We veged on the beach, swam, rode some waves, ferried to Catalina Island. We also went to Disney's 50th aniversary. It was so cool.
Thats really about it for my life, atleast from the last span of blog.
Next jobs on my to-do list is tell my girlfrieds dad how serious we are getting, stop working and train for the NAVY. Well that's all folk TTYL. TTFN.
P.S. - Rachel I love you. now its all over the world wide web.

The Past and then the present
Ok so prom's over and I went with the most fabulous looking girl, well in my eyes she was more than that but the point is that she looked great. I picked her up from her house and, after about what seemed to ba a bajillian photos, we went to eat at the Olive Garden at paradise valley mall. The service was great so I tipped good.
Now this would be a good oppertunity to talk a little bit about tipping. If you give less than 15% in a tip then you need a reality check. Servers only make about two to four dollars an hour in there checks and the rest is in tips. If your check was 23 dollars and you leave 2 dollars then you are telling your server that the service was bad. They say the minimum for service is 15% and the average tip rate is 20%. Now depending on the service of the resturant depends on how this percentage is affected. If the service sucked, then tip 10% but if it was satisfactory tip 15 - 20%. Any higher depends on how phenominal the service was, but you should never leave the table without tipping your server.
Anyways, after the meal we got to the Wrigily Mansion and went in and soon found out that it was not like the hype made at school. They said there was gonna be a, "mad DJ there", and "Photographers", and also "all of your friends". First off, the "DJ" there was ok but all that was played was rap and... well more rap. Nothing really to dance to and the floor was a bit smaller than I expected; it was a layout of about 12 feet square. The Photographers there were ok but when the pictures came out they cropped them to face on individuals instead of the group or couples. Finally, there was not really any of my friends there at all. Of course there was faces that I knew but no one that I hung out with outside of school. Although the night was down sized by my high hopes I was still glad to have been there with my love. Even though we did not dance we still had a ball untill we left. I feel that it was a very successfull night and I look forward to the future with this girl of mine.

"Offical" Start of my blog journal
Ok so I have desided to make this the "Official" first post og my blog journal. Today was hard and easy for me to wake up. It was hard in the fact that I only heard one alarm clock of mine. BTW I have like four alarm clocks and I can't hear them when I sleep. So after all my alarms have gone off, I wake up to the sound of my mother in the kitchen. Given that I have had four alarms going off for the past 5 mins I wake up to sounds in the kitchen? How does that work out? Ok so I wake up, get dressed. I already took a shower like 8 hours earlyer before I slept in my freshly washed bed sheets so I'm already clean. I dress up nice for my presentation and get to school on time.
So Im there in my second hour waiting for that stupid bell to ring because I really don't feel comfy round the teacher. I like the lesson, which is Hamlet, or turbo Hamlet since we are learning it in a matter of 3 three weeks. So we are watching the movie with a sub who we have had before. The same sub who told us about morbid dreams she had about killing students. So we all are freaking out with this phyco sub from hell and wish that bell came sooner. Finally, after a tense 55 mins the bell rings. We all get out of there ASAP, no one want to be near that phyco lady. So I get to my Govt class and I'm the first one up. So I set up my presentation and start. I go through my shpeal and get people to pay attention with fun iotas and pictures and even some shocking items that will get people to go "WTF!?". After I finish my speach, I test there attention abilities by giving them a test on what I taught and not caring checked there work and they all past. Woopy.
OK after my sphpeal, three others spoke next and out of courtisy, I listened as well athough there voice tone could have been more... exciting than monitone. So class finally ends for me, and I walk the three blocks it takes me to get home and change into slacks and a tie. Already had a dress shirt on for the presentation. Heading out the door I forget to grab my dress shoes, which I quickly shine and put on. I head over to the Shereton Four Points and wait for my employer to arrive, which he never did. Theres 28 dollars down the drain. The celibration goes on and we commemorate the achivements of DECA and COE as well as thank the employers for hiring us. After that is done I am free from any other events till later tonight where I will attend a comedy night with my girl friend. After tonight I will be so happy to see tommorow because it is PROM. HUZZAH. Well, I think I'm bought ready just need to pick items up and then mentally prep. No problem.

First blog post
Hello there. This will be my first blog post on this site and I'm so excited that I was able to start this up. I decided to start this to record events that mean a great deal of importance to me. Because this is the first post here, I'm gonna put a little bit of info about my self here.
I am 18 as of Jan. 28. I am a senior in high school but not for long as the year comes to a closing. I am currently in a relationship with a girl I love. This is very special to me and I do not want to jeoperdize what I feel is a good thing. I study the book by Miyamoto Musashi titled the "Go Rin No Sho"; or more commonly known as "The Book of Five Rings". I currently am training one student who shares the same views on bushido as me and look forward to sparring with him when he feels he has learned what he needs. I also train other pupils at a school known as Scimitar Talon. However, those pupils are currently not enthusiastic about learning what I offer so I don't regularly teach them as I do my apprentice. I hope to finish training and spar with my apprentice before I start school again for I will not be able to personaly train him after that. After the summer I will be sent to boot camp to undergo basic training and then from there I will be sent to school in Florida. There I will learn the skills of an Air-traffic Controler. After my training I will have a job and be making mad bills and be able to give my girl gifts that I might not be able to offer as of now. ( :-D. Thats about it for my present life right now.
I guess I'll talk about my girl friend but I'm not gonna reveal to much about her. She is two years younger then me and is a day late then me. She is very beautiful to my eyes and has a personality that I adore, and that is very good for me. She has helped me out just as I have done for her and I feel that we have a good thing right now. I intend to take her to my senior prom on Sat. May 7. and unless some tragic event accurs then that intention will be reality.
Right now I am writing this post at school in my 4th hr class. Shows how much time I have doesn't it? Class time is just about up so I must end this post here. I hope you liked this post for I will be maintanging this journal as long as I can. I look forward to talking to people who have enjoyed this post and hope you come back to enjoy what else I have to say.
