ok more on Europe!

Alright, well, Europe was actaully a school sponsored trip that was led by our English teacher. She is really smart and knows her stuff about history. Anyway, ya, we went to London Paris and Rome. London did not recieve my favorite vote becuase it was so expenisive there. 2 dollars to 1 pound. And normal things cost a whole lot more it seemed like. Rome didnt either becuase it just didnt catch my eye the way florence did. (btw heres a list of all the towns we went to as far as i can remember: Rome, Assisi, Florence, Paris, calais, Canterbury and London) Anyway, ya it was cool becuase i have never been over to europe before. The only other time i have been out of the country was to the Dominican Republic on a maranatha project to build churches. Another thing that sucked was i lost my camera. Actaully it was stolen but i didnt let it ruin my trip at all. One thing that i must say for florence that made it so fun, is that we went to an open air live concert one night after going up to this awesome over look for the city, and then after that we were walking back to our hotel and just as we happened to pass the river we saw fireworks going off, so we turned around and walked back to the bridge and watched a 15-20 min proffesional fireworks display, the likes of which i have never seen. Then we got back to the hotel and rubbed it in everyone elses faces becuase there were only a few of us that got to do all the cool stuff.
 
Anyway, IM ALMOST 18!!! .........(thats wierd the 1 is smaller than the 8.....) Anyway, wow 2 or 3 more weeks and im there!
 
Well, i guess im sort of lucky, i get to go on antoerh vacation with some of my freinds here in 2 days. were going camping to Colorado. It should be super fun, but then again it might suck, becuse im trying to get over this girl and then im gonna have to be around her for like 4 days, and its gonna be hard. Ive made a promise to myself that i wont spend as much time around her as i used to.
 
Alas.....i must find a picture of myself that is worthy of posting......im am so bad at getting that kind of stuff done.... o well.
thats it for now, im gonna go chill and play my guitar some (something i have dearly missed)

just got back from Europe

yo, just got back!
Europe was sweet! I had so much fun, i would go back anyday. My favorite place was Florence, Italy. It was sooooooooo beautiful and aged. It had a lot of character. Anyway, it was fun macking on the ladies while over there. And i hung out with some really cool guys and we tons of fun. Ya, im pretty lazy so no more of those everday updates. Mabye i would write more often if people would make comments, i dont even care what they say, im just interested in seeing a comment. Meh, o ya, i went to a concert while i was over there too, it wasnt like rock or punk or anything, more classical, but it was still cool. Anyway, i got nothing left to say,

well.....after not posting for a few days...

ah yes, it appears i have gotten lazy. That is just too bad. Anyway, i went to the dentist today and was told to floss more often. :( flossing sucks, it takes too much time, and im lazy. O well.

WEll.... we lost our B-ball game last night. The first one that weve lost all season. We played horrible though, and towards the end we came back within 4 points. We should not have lost, we were a better team than them....but o well.

Anyway, i have another game tonight and i want to just chill and play the guitar for a while, so im not gonna write to much.

NOTE TO ALL: LISTEN TO "GLORY DEFINED" BY BUILDING 429, IT IS A GOOD SONG

so tired.....

man i am super tired. ive been sleeping good and i am still tired. o well, just have to sleep more. Anyway, i bashed our school pretty good with that post that i accidentally deleted, so sorry bout that, it was funny, becuase our school admin is gay and dumber than dirt.....wat who said that?.....actually some of them are, not all of them. well.....only 8 hours of work left (less if i can talk my dad into letting me off early) before i get a break for the weekend. that will be nice. weekends are the most fun part of my week. Ok, wat else do i have to say......o ya, im gonna pull a real good prank on the old people where i work someday. Its gonna be a blast. Me and one of my best freinds (havent told him yet) are gonna go running around in army fatigues scaring the old people. I promise i will take video and email it to any of you that want it. just curious.....anyone actaully reading this?(just leave a short comment if possible) i dont really care, but interested as to how many people visit this page. someday mabye i will get off my butt and put a counter on it. (i am actually competent with HTML and JAVAscript, but due to my extreme lazyness, i never have actually posted any webpages, or even modified this one. I helped on our schools website (sucks majorly, nothing is ever updated.....at least not since i quit)
well.....i think i will go play my guitar. hey listen to 3 doors down "away from the sun" its a good song.

never give in, never give up....

well....the volleyball teams lost again tonight... :( They gotta pull themselves out of this losing streak. Its like, they do good when the points dont matter, but when the games on the line the pressure gets to em or something. O well, i guess they shouldnt worry too much about it, and just play for fun. Anyway, that sucked, so did work, nothing interesting.

well, i have to admit, watchin volleyball is frusturating, becuase they make (sorry eagles team members) really stupid mistakes a lot. I mean, how can you go up for a ball, and have it fall right in front of you on your side of the net. i see this kind of tihng all the time. Now, im not being sexist or anything, but i think guys would kick womens butt at volleyball. There so, i dunno, uncordinated.....boy if any of the team members read this im gonna get an earful :) o well, they try.

im gonna go eat some food cause i am hungry. (hows that for a simple thought)

until tommorow dawns...
Ryan

yo tengo hambre....

the volleyball team lost tonight. :( it was close though, they won their first match, then lost the second, and time ran out on the third while they were down by two so they lost. They played super good the first game, i dont know what happened to them the second match. Anyway, im really hungry and want to go play the guitar. bye

tired.......

its ironic isnt it? that i am sleeping better on the weekdays than on the weekends. I usually get 8-9 a night on the weekdays, and on the weekends its only like 7 hours. o well. It also might be from all the excitment of weekend, mabye thats the prob, you know when your thinking about 14 million things, and your body is tired but your mind isnt yet. ya then it takes a whlie to fall asleep. Anyway, back to constructoin tommorow.

its cool, we live out in the country, right outside the city limits, and our neighbors are shooting off fire crackers. bottle rockets etc. That is one of my passions. I am a true pyro at heart. But only with really cool big explosions, those little stupid fire crackers are boring.

i found something really neat today, you take a compressor, hook up a hose to it with a spray nozzle on the end, and stick the nozzle in a blow gun loaded with a dart and fire it. it will shoot farther than you will every hope to shoot it will lung power alone. the only problem is the darts stick in really far on what ever your shooting and sometimes its hard to get them out. Also you can take a 2 liter bottle of pop, shake it up, and shoot it with a stun dart and it will explode. Its super fun if your bored, like me.

hm....im tired, im gonna catch some Z's

distortion.....

hey fellow homosapiens.
Today was cool, i got to play my guitar for prasie band (we didnt do that good today, not bad, but not good either. I was the only one who really knew this song by 3rd day we did, and the singers were all off...o well) And then i ate lunch with my grandparents :( real boring. Random thought: i want o learn how to play the piano.
Then this afternoon it was cool cause i got to hang out with the coolest girl in the world. if that term was in a dictionary, her picture would be there.

....the one thing i will say about nebraska is that it has good sunsets. Its the one redeeming thing about nebraska.
There is just something about watching the sunset, especially if its really beautiful and there are just a few clouds to reflect the color. It makes me think that our world couldnt have been made just merely by evolution, it had to be created by a loving God. I mean, how could something that incredible be an....accident?

i'll leave you with that thought,

The weekend is finally here!!!!

i love weekends, they are my favorite part of the week. Especially Saturdays. I get a day to rest and also to see my freinds. THis week has been too long.

Anyway, lets see, today was boring, o but hey it was cool, i got to see Vice president Dick Cheney this moring in person. He and his whole motorcade drove right down the street where me and the rest of the constructoin crew were taking break. It was awsome to see all the secret service guys in thier cars scoping out all the buildings and rooftops. They even had an ambulence following the motorcade. That was prob the most interesting thing that happened all day. I had praise practice this evening. That was cool. i love hangning out with the praise team. Were learning that song by relient K...."for the moments i feel faint" its pretty cool but we couldnt remember the second verse to it.

Lets see, o ya, i ate at outback today, it was super good, it was one of my freinds pre-birthday party things.

Anyway, im gonna go chill and play my guitar,

dont wanna think about you or think about me....

hey all,
We won both our basketball games. The first was the hardest, but we still won. It was tons of fun, i got a break away and was going to go for the dunk, but due to my incredibly horrible awful dribbling skills i blotched it up pretty bad and had to settle for a layup.....o well....besides that i played good.

Lets see, another interesting day in construcion for me today......ya not really.

i saw the music Vid for "Ocean Avenue" today. It was kinda cool, but a little confusing at first. I like the song.

Well, about that title, i was just listening to simple plan's "i dont wanna think about you" so i figured i would just take my title from that.

o ya, i was gonna talk about German spotlight. Ok...German spotlight is sort of a hide and go seek game. You pick two people to be "it". THen everyone else goes and hides. (this has to be at night or else it doesnt work) Then the two people who are it, go and look for the people who are hiding with flashlights, and when you shine your light on them you have to say their name and then they are caught. Ive had some pretty close calls before, its a lot of fun, gets the adrenaline going.

.....writing songs is super hard......im trying to write one right now, but the words just dont wanna flow. The music is cool and all, but im a pretty bad poet most of the time, so its hard for me to think of words. i have a ton of cool music from all my past songs, just no words to go with it.

well thats it for now, i cant really think of anything.

The day after yesterday...

well....another uneventful day in my life. Lets see, where did i leave off yesterday....well i dont remember. Construction work sucks, but it has its benefits too. think of it as sort of being paid to work out and tan. I cant really think of anyhting right now to put down...i might get to go camping next weekend. Thats one of my favorite things to do. Out in nature, and just chilling with a few of your freinds.......hiking, making bonfires, playing German spotlight (more on that later), eating food cooked over a fire, playing the acoustic guitar outside at night under the stars with one of the coolest girls i know...., getting "lost" in the woods (to all who know what im talking about....lol that was funny), whiddling on wood (how do you spell whidling?) riding bikes, playing with fire. Sounds fun right? if it doesnt there is something wrong with you. Anyway, i have basketball games tommrow. That should be cool. We won our first two pretty easily. Who knows how these next two should be. We are playing back to back again. That really really sucks becuase you dont get a break inbetween games for very long and it ravages you.

Another interesting note, earthlink tech support is stupid. Ok heres the situation.....i needed to know how long it had been since i signed up for cable, as i had forgotten, so i went to the live chat on earthilnk's website and asked them this. But o no, this was too sensitive info and they had to ask me for some stupid little code thing that verifys your account for them. I couldnt remember it, but all i frikin wanted to know was when my account was started. Thats it, goodness, its not like you can rob someone with that info. So i never did find out from them, becuase i didnt know the last four digits of the credit card used to sign up the account, which is thier other way of verifying it. (my mom had the credit card and she wasnt around at the time) O well enough of my complaining, i should have remembered.

....well...i think thats about it.....
