The merry season is upon us, when a slow fat man slides down the four-inch-wide chimney to our dinning room, with a giant bag full of presents, and only knowing that he will gain cookies and milk as a commission... I'm sorry. I just can't do it. If Santa Claus were to come to our home, he would have a really hard time of giving us our gifts. For starters, I wasn't joking about the four inch chimney. We really do have that.
Upon a more serious note, I can't wait for Santa Claus to come!
WOW. But really. I did have a couple of cool things and not so cool things happen around here. So in no particular order, #1: I had another basketball game, this one in town, so we didn't have to travel any where. Both the JV and the Varsity won, each by about twenty. I started and scored in the JV's, but I did not play in the Varsity. I did have a sore throat, so I was yelling very weakly. Thing #2: I completely lost in my families fantasy football playoffs. All of my players did horrible, and I got knocked out in the first round to my younger brother Judah. He really is a beast at fantasy. Thing #3: I got braces put on. Thing #4: I discovered that braces are not all that fun. I mean, they basically are pulling your teeth together or apart, and so, lots of pain. And the kind lady at the orthodontist was like 'You need to be brushing three to five times a day, and press really hard on your teeth, because if you don't, you will get yellow lines streaking across your teeth when we take the braces off. Hahahaha!' Well, maybe without the evil laughter. That is really what she said, though, and so I was thinking to myself, 'I have enough trouble remembering to bring my basketball shoes to practice, so how am I going to remember to brush my teeth five times a day? I really should have something like a sign or something to remind me.' And then it hit. I just got braces. I have like a permanent painful reminder glued to my precious teeth!
That was a tangent. Sorry. But yeah, I got braces, and I am supposed to have them on for about sixteen months. Which is, according to the kind lady, a short time. She said that most of my friends would have theirs on for longer. I feel so blessed knowing that kind lady. OK, thing #5: I got a new computer. It is a Compaq Presario CQ62-220US Notebook. With Windows 7 home premium!!! WHOOT!. http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/shopping/computer_can_series.do?storeName=computer_store&category=notebooks&a1=Category&v1=Everyday+computing&a2=Screen+size&v2=15.0+-+16.9&series_name=CQ62Z_series&jumpid=in_R329_prodexp/hhoslp/psg/notebooks/Everyday_computing/CQ62Z_series That link will take you to Narnia. It will actually take you to Compaq's website so you can gaze with wonder on my awesome machine of power! Thing #6: My entire family, save my mother and sister, are sick. Judah has it the worst out of us all, with a fever and every thing, but Ezra and I only have sore throats. Dad has something, but I am not sure what. Thing #7: My family and I were planing on going skiing/snowboarding over Christmas break, but we decided against it because we were all under the weather.
Well, this was a long post, but I thought, since you guys have nothing else better to do with your homeschooling lives...
So! Have fun during your break from school and work, and enjoy the rest, the peace, and your family. Don't eat to many sweets, shovel your driveway, and don't forget about the fat man stuck in your chimney!

Blog newbie
OK, so this is officially the first blog post of my new blog. So I suppose that I should write some random, possibly boring/funny/annoying/awesome things about my boring/funny... life. Well, cool things of note that have happened in the past, oh I don't know, fifteen years! No, but really. One cool thing, was that last night, Friday, I had a basketball game with the Christian school in Aberdeen. Anyway, the town that my team was playing, is located about three hours from my home. Thus, road-trip. So on the way down, my team-mates and I talked and laughed about lots of different random things. Imagine Justin Bieber and COD in the same five minutes of talking. That's Call Of Duty, for all you pacifist, anti-video game, home-schoolers out there.
Needless to say, we get to McIntosh with most of our brain cells still in tact. And no, their team mascot is not an Apple. The funny thing though, was that we arrived like a half of an hour early. Ultimate dance party in the locker room anyone!?! After getting insanely pumped up to the amazing John Wall song (http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/search/song?q=troop%2041), we finally were allowed on the court to warm up. You see, the McIntosh girls' team were having a practice before our game, so they didn't want us on the court watching them. Once warm ups were over, the game started. I started (does the John Wall move), along side four other JV all-stars. That's Junior Varsity, for all you none-competition, none organized athletics home-schoolers.
Home school jokes are so much better if you are actually home schooled :P
After an awesomely fun game, the game was tied with about ten seconds on the clock in the fourth quarter. Our main JV point guard passed the ball across the three point line into the post to one of our amazing centers. The freshman beast banked in the shot with four seconds on the clock. The other team inbounded the ball, threw up a prayer, and hit the top of their backboard. We won the game by two, after a tough struggle on offence and defense. The varsity game came right after the JV game finished. We played alright, though we could have done better, and the game was forced to go into over-time. After the given four minutes, we lost by I think three points. I was so tired last night that I forgot most of the details. After the game, and after our team hit the concession stand, we hit the road like a heard of turtles on steroids. I didn't sleep at all, and managed to stay awake for the entire three hour drive across the frozen north land. Lots of Lecrae and iPod touch games later, I was in my warm bed, working my body and mind into the land of sweet sleep.
So there you have it. The first blog post of 'Curly', thus dubbed by my crazy team-mates. I am a blogging noob, but I will never learn to be good any younger.
Until next time, y'all!
