Fun ideas :)

Are you ever bored and you do not know what to do or you just want to make an experience more interesting? Well I am going to help you do just that. I am going to give you some ideas on how to make something better for simple things.

1.       Bring a rope and a Cowboy hat to a local park, find some geese and have yourself a fun time trying to roping some geese.

2.       Write down deep questions on the toilet paper in the public bathroom

3.        Do a few laps in the next revolving door you encounter

4.        Walk down a busy street and then freeze for no reason

5.       Sniff random people on the streets.

6.       Pretend to make a very personal and odd conversation in an elevator with a lot of people.

7.       Greet everyone that comes onto the elevator.

8.       When the money comes out of the ATM, scream, “I Won! I Won! Third time this week!"

9.       Walk behind someone and have an argument with yourself. (It's even better if you talk in two different voices.)

10.   Buy something entirely with pennies.

11.   Walk through a drive through pretending your driving.

12.   5.  Ask to see the manager, and then complain to him about all of life’s problems. If they don’t let you talk to the manager, walk out muttering, “You're gonna be reading about this in the papers.” 

13.   Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock. Smile, and go back for more.  

14.   When the doors close, announce to the others, “It’s okay. Don't panic, they open up again."

15.   Challenge other customers to duels with tubes of gift wrap.

16.   Sing your questions.

17.   Leave permanent markers by the dry-erase board.

18.   When the professor calls roll, after each name scream “THAT’S MEEEEE! Oh, no, sorry.”

19.   Hold up a piece of paper that says in large letters “CHECK YOUR FLY.”

20.   Wear your pajamas. Pretend not to notice that you’ve done so.

21.   Ask whether you have to come to class.

22.   Start a “wave” in a large lecture hall.

23.   Ask to introduce your “invisible friend” in the empty seat beside you, and ask for one extra copy of each handout.

24.   Watch the professor through binoculars.

25.   Claim that you wrote the class text book.

26.   In the middle of the lecture, ask your professor whether he believes in ghosts.

27.   Laugh heartily at everything the teacher says. Snort when you laugh.

28.   Bring a typewriter. Use it to take notes.

29.   Bring a fishing rod. Try to catch things on the professor's desk.

30.   Randomly get out of your seat and sit on the floor.

31.   Cry out randomly that everyone is against you.

32.   Tell your teacher you don’t need to do your homework because you’re
skipping school tomorrow.

33.   Randomly laugh hysterically

34.   Raise your hand and wave it around like you know the answer. Then ask
the teacher why they called on you.

Family Fun

I had another fun weekend. My parents planed a trip to Las Vegas to visit my uncle for his birthday, but he got sick and his wife, my aunt, asked us not to come because of how bad he was feeling. So instead of going to Las Vegas my parents took my brothers and I to Lehi and stayed there overnight. Since my sister was away at college working, she wasn’t able to get the time off and come with us, so I got the bed to myself while my bothers had to share one. I have never had a bed to myself so that just made my day.

So we got to Lehi around 7 o’clock. We checked into our hotel room and went to go eat dinner. It took us a while to decide where to go because I didn’t like Chinese food and everyone wanted to go to Panda Express. Finally we decided to go eat at Denny’s. Denny’s had pretty good food, and got us filled. So after we ate we went back to the hotel room and went to the pool. Everyone sat in the hot tub except for my little brother Parker; he went for a swim in the regular pool. We swam for a while then went back to our room watched TV and ate popcorn.

We had season passes to Trafalga, so we went there in the morning. At Trafalga we played black light laser tag and black light mini golfing.  Both were really fun. For black light laser tag you were “in New York” and had to save it from a bad guy. My family and I were always put in a group with a whole bunch of little kids. It drove me nuts! They were talking a whole bunch of trash. They kept saying that they would win because they have done this before and that they were the best. I was about to strangle them. It bugs me when people talk like that and brag. So to teach them a lesson my family and I set out to cream them. In the end we beat them big time. There was at least a 2,000 point difference between our two scores. When they realized that they didn’t win the little kids were saying that they felt bad for us and let us win and that they didn’t try their hardest. Oh man I sure wanted to strangle them…  Anyways we always won, we didn’t lose this time. As for black light mini golfing… well that’s a whole different story. I am a horrible golfer, and when I say horrible I mean horrible. It took me on average 7 tries before I could get it in the hole. My rest of my family though… they were amazing! My brother Garry shot the ball off the wall and made a hole in one. It was amazing! The rest of my family was making shots like that also.

My weekend as you have seen was very fun. I went to Lehi instead of Las Vegas but it turned out to be really fun. :)

Books

 I just finished The Chosen by Chaim Potok.So I thought that I would post my review on here as my post for this week.
The Chosen whose author is Chaim Potok wrote 291 pages. Those pages were very hard to get through. At the beginning of the book there was nothing to hook me into it. Chaim Potok constantly used Jewish terms that were sometimes hard to understand and remember what they meant.

This book is about two Jewish boys and their lives together during WW II. These two boys Reuven and Danny are playing baseball when Reuven gets hit in the eye with the ball Danny hit. Reuven is rushed to the hospital to get pieces of his glasses out of his eye. The two boys soon become really good friends because of this incident. Then Danny’s father, Reb Saunders, forbids Danny to talk or by Reuven over a rally that Reuven’s father held. Once the tension lifts from the 2 Jewish parties they can once again talk to each other. Reuven is afraid to tell his father that he doesn’t want to become a Rabbi. Buy his father tells him that he already knows and that he is fine with it. Then Danny and Reuven part ways and go and pursue their dream careers.

That’s a brief summary of how the novel goes. As you can see there isn’t much excitement that happens in this book. I would recommend this book to someone who wants a challenge. This book was hard to understand with all the Jewish terms and hard to get into. There isn’t really much of a plot. The biggest complication was either having glass in Reuven’s eye or them not being able to talk to each other. So if you want a challenging book or you like a slow book or you like both then this is the right book for you to read. Personally I didn’t care for this book at all.

That is the end of my review.  Now I’m having a hard time figuring out what book to read next. Thompson said that the book for horrors English would do something with reading a book in class then doing a group reading. I actually don’t remember exactly what he told me, I was half listening and half not. I should really get out of the habit of zoning out whenever a teacher talks to me... Yea that would be a really good idea. Anyways so if you know any good books to have me read for school please tell me, because I am stuck trying to figure it out. I want to read something new, I have read many books and I can’t figure out what to read next. I like mystery and adventure books. I like the books that you can’t set down and you want to continue reading to see what happens next. So if you know any books like that please tell me. I would greatly appreciate that. Thanks

Birthdays

Do all those quizzes on the internet tell the truth? I see a lot of people taking those then feeling better about themselves or worse. Sometimes they just want to see what things mean. So I decided to see if these quizzes tell the truth or they are just random.

So I choose the birthday topic to test this. I know my strengths and what I am like. So hopefully this will come out as accurate as possible. I took a test that supposed to say what my birthday means. My birthday is Sep. 15, and this is what it came up with.

“You take life as it is, and you find happiness in a variety of things.
You tend to be close to family and friends. But it's hard to get into your inner circle.
Making the little things wonderful is important to you, and you probably have an inviting home.
You seek harmony with others, but occasionally you have a very stubborn streak.
Your strength: Your intense optimism
Your weakness: You shy away from exploring your talents

Some of these results are accurate and some are not so lucky. The green part is what I found was accurate. However, the yellow highlighted part is what I didn’t find accurate. I am not very optimistic when it comes to life. Sure I can be at times, but mostly I am neutral. I could go one way or the other. I usually don’t take sides.  I don’t like sharing my talents and I tend to hid them. That part is true, and along with the other highlighted part.

                I took another test that supposedly predicts about you. It predicted that I’m nurturing.

Ever since you were born, you've loved being a caretaker.
Whether you're caring for people or animals, you love making others feel good.
You don't stress or worry much in your life. You think it's important not to sweat the small stuff.
You have a soft spot in your heart for children and pets. You are drawn to anyone in need.

                This time the blue is the truth and the red is not the truth and the pink is in the middle.  I do love animals and I love helping out people. On the other hand I do stress out a lot in life. I don’t take it easy and not worry as it says I do. I stress a lot. I have to get things done in a certain order and if I don’t I freak out. It depends on the day on thinking the small stuff is important. I mostly do but there are those days were I don’t think it is important.

I should have done more tests but I have come to a conclusion. These tests in this instance have a pretty accurate prediction. I mostly highlighted the truth. There was only one or two things that I thought were not true. The tests are fun to do and could or couldn’t be true. So if you just love doing them then remember they aren’t always true. So don’t put all of your trust in them. Otherwise have fun.

Eventful Week

This week has been a very eventful week. There have been so many things that went on. First, my dog had her puppies, hung out with Brenna Sorenson, the Davis High Marching Band beat American Fork, and I had another marching band competition.

          My dog, Daisy, had her puppies early Tuesday morning. I asked my mom to not wake me up if she had them that night because I had a marching band competition that fallowing day. When I woke up my mom informed me that Daisy had indeed had her puppies that morning. I went in to see the new puppy. She was the cutest thing ever! She fits right in my hand it’s 2 so cute. Then on Saturday we took her to get her dew-clawed and had her tail sniped, in other words its 1 tail had to be cut off. Because they are so small, they have to get their tails cut so it won’t 9 be so big on them. It’s funny when she tries to play with the other dogs’ toys. When I’m gone it’s my parents’ responsibility to watch her. Her eyes and ears aren’t even opened yet. It will be another couple of days before they start to open. We were told that the Jones 3 family wants to buy her. Lucy will be the Jones’s 5 dog. I asked my mom what the Jonses’ names were, but she didn’t know. So in the mean time the she will just keep getting bigger and bigger.

          On Tuesday, I had a marching band competition at BYU. On our way, there Garret, a person in my section, was showing me all these pictures on his 6 iPod, and laughing at me because I didn’t get what it was trying to portray. However, when we got there I was happy and ready to do the show. When we were on the field, I performed my best field show that I have ever done. In the end it paid off. When the judges were announcing the winners, they announced American Fork as 2^nd place we went crazy. Since they got second, it meant that Davis High came in first place. We were so, so, so happy! Davis High hasn’t beaten American Fork for 5 years until now. On the bus ride there everyone had so much fun. So when we got there we were pumped and ready for the show. The show really fun to perform and to make it even better we receive first place! Marching band is the best.

          Then on Friday, night Brenna and I hung out, and watched a movie and  ate pizza. We were planning on watching a scary movie but we couldn’t figure out what movie to watch so we watched Thor. That night was so much fun. I showed Brenna Lucy, our puppy, and she just loved her. She held Lucy during the entire show. She kept saying that she wished Lucy was hers 6. Every night should be as much fun as that night.

           I had another marching band competition Saturday night and this time it was at USU. That competition was also really fun. When the awards were announced we didn’t do as well as last time... We placed 2^nd and ‘American Fark’ placed 1^st. We made a lot children’ mistakes...  Man, we thought we did so good. But apparently the judges didn’t think the same way as we did. It was still so much fun. J

Wow my week was really jammed pack with fun nights. My dog had her puppies, I hung out with Brenna and I had two marching band competitions.

Driving

A couple weeks ago I obtained my driving permit. Driving has always been an excitement for me in my life. For as long as I can remember I have always been counting down. From the years then as time passed it was only months then only days until I could drive. I didn't get my permit on my birthday because I had marching band with Davis High School. Then my parents were at work and didn't get off until the DMV place had closed. So it took me a whole good two weeks until I could get my permit.

When I was filling out the paper work and doing all the tests I was more worried about not passing the eye examine more than the driving test itself. Even though I had only skimmed through the driving book. Anyways when I did the eye exam/ test I passed with flying colors. Well I guess not exactly with fly colors but you know what I mean. So after the paperwork was all done I was sent to go take the test. The test was on a touch screen computer thing, I’m not sure how to explain it, you will just have to see for yourself. So I completed the test and I got 86% on my first time. The lowest you can get to pass is 80% so I did well enough to get my permit.

My first time driving I took my little brother to his soccer game. My dad didn’t feel comfortable with me doing left hand turns on busy streets so he drove on the busy, main streets and then let me take over once the traffic was less traffic. I only drove a little bit that first day but it was really, really, really, really, really, and many more “reallys” fun.

I have gotten a lot more practice sense then. I have driven on busy and congested roads, but I don’t want to drive on the highway or the freeway just yet, I know that I’m not ready for that. But I did go 35 m/h once and that my friend was just about the funniest thing I have ever done. I can’t wait until I can drive on the freeway and the highway. I wish this song was on the radio one of the times I have been driving it would have been so cool.

Well, life's like a road that you travel on

There's one day here and the next day gone

 Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand

 Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door

Where Blues won't haunt you anymore

For the brave are free and lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate

 To break down the guarding gate

There's not much time left today, yeay

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long

 If you're going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Through all these cities and all these towns

It's in my blood and it's all around

 I love now like I loved you then

 This is the road and these are the hands

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights

They knock me down

And back up again

You're in my blood

I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold

 The road's so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long If your going my way,

I wanna drive it All night long

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long (mmmm yeah)

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

There was a distance between you and I

 (between you and I) A misunderstanding once

But now, we look it in the eye

Ooooo...Yeah!

There ain't no load that I can't hold

 The road's so rough this I know

I'll be there when the light comes in

 Just tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

All night long (all night long, yeah hey)

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

All night long

If your going my way, I wanna drive it

All night long

Life is a highway, I wanna ride it

 All night long

If your going my way,

 I wanna drive it All night long

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, yeah

family fun

 I have a lot of favorite songs but Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae is mine and my brothers theme song. For this blog I'm going to share it with you.

It's been a really, really messed up week

Seven days of torture, seven days of bitter

She's a California dime but it's time for me to quit her

La, la, la, whatever

 La, la, la, it doesn't matter

 La, la, la, oh well

 La, la, la

We're goin' at it tonight, tonight

 There's a party on the rooftop

 Top of the world tonight, tonight

 And we're dancin' on the edge of the Hollywood sign

I don't know if I'll make it

But watch how good I'll fake it

It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight

I woke up with a strange tattoo

 Not sure how I got it, not a dollar in my pocket

And it kinda looks just like you

 Mixed with Zach Galifianakis

La, la, la, whatever

 La, la, la, it doesn't matter

 La, la, la, oh well

 La, la, la

We're goin' at it tonight, tonight

There's a party on the rooftop

Top of the world tonight, tonight

And we're dancin' on the edge of the Hollywood sign

I don't know if I'll make it

But watch how good I'll fake it

 It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight

You got me singin' like

 Whoa, come on

Oh, it doesn't matter

Whoa, everybody now, oh

Just don't stop, let's keep the beat pumpin'

 Keep the beat up, let's drop the beat down

 It's my party, dance if I want to

We can get crazy, let it all out

Just don't stop, let's keep the beat pumpin'

 Keep the beat up, let's drop the beat down

 It's my party, dance if I want to

 We can get crazy, let it all out

It's you and me and we're runnin' this town

 And it's me and you and we're shakin' the ground

 And ain't nobody gonna tell us to go

'Cause this is our show

Everybody

Whoa, come on

 Oh, all you animals

Whoa, let me hear you now, oh

Tonight, tonight

There's a party on the rooftop

Tonight, tonight

 And we're dancin' on the edge of the Hollywood sign

I don't know if I'll make it

But watch how good I'll fake it

 It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight

It's all right, all right, tonight, tonight

Yeah, it's all right, all right, tonight, tonight
