Almost an exact copy

Well, I don't really know what to post about and I know that my blog is getting boring to read, but for right now I'll copy my cousin Kate's blog and tell you about school and football (yes, again, I know).

So my schedule:
A days:
1st: AP Calculus; pretty good so far, I have a funny teacher who explains the concepts pretty well so far. I think I'll pass the AP Test.
2nd: AP American History; SO much easier than AP Euro. No comparison. But I still look forward to learning a lot in that class.
3rd: Creative Writing; Easily my best class this semester, in fact I think I'm going to drop one of my second semester classes so I can take Creative Writing 2. You'll probably be reading a lot of what I write in there.
4th: Percussion Ensemble; Well, what would school be without percussion? Marching band is...well, not just getting to me, it has bored (sp?) a hole in my skin and infected me, leaving few moments free of thoughts regarding marching band.
B days:
5th: Seminary; I have a really awesome teacher and what appears to be an awesome class. I can only hope that it will be better than my class last year.
6th: English; Much harder than originally expected. I have an interesting teacher, who makes a point to swear during every class period, but I think I'm going to learn a lot from her.
7th: AP Calculus Lab; basically a Calculus study period/study hall. This will certainly ease the burden of two AP classes.
8th: Physics; I have a hilarious teacher and I look forward to learning physics. Because it's math-based, I think I'm going to do very well in that class.

BYU FOOTBALL STARTS TODAY! MY INSIDES ARE BURSTING WITH EXCITEMENT!

This is a poem that I wrote in creative writing (hopefully no one is offended, it's meant to be a "racist against white people" joke poem).

Just because I'm white

Just because I'm white,
Doesn't mean I can't jump,
Doesn't mean that I'm slow,
And doesn't mean I can't put on a show.

Just because I'm white,
Doesn't mean I can't rap,
Doesn't mean I can't groove,
And doesn't mean I can't get funky and move.

Just because I'm white,
Doesn't mean I'm not sick,
Doesn't mean I'm not chill,
And doesn't mean my name can't be li'l

Why can't I be tight?
Why can't I flirt?
Why do I find it necessary to tuck in my shirt?
Oh yeah, just because I'm white.

Just Can't Wait

I've bought my season tickets and although the olympics and the approaching school year are distracting me, I'm about ready to..I don't know...do something really crazy that makes you realize how much I LOVE BYU FOOTBALL!!! Do I deny the fact that this is an obsession? No. Do I realize that most people don't consider my love natural or acceptable? Yes. Do I care? NO! I FREAKING LOVE BYU FOOTBALL!

Life's Simple Pleasures

I'm just discovering the joy of Deep Thoughts WIth Jack Handey. Here are a few of my favorites so far.

Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.

If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.

If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

I think a good product would be "Baby Duck Hat". It's a fake baby duck, which you strap on top of your head. Then you go swimming underwater until you find a mommy duck and her babies, and you join them. Then, all of a sudden, you stand up out of the water and roar like Godzilla. Man, those ducks really take off! Also, Baby Duck Hat is good for parties.

If you lived in the Dark Ages and you were a catapult operator, I bet the most common question people would ask is, "Can't you make it shoot farther?" "No, I'm sorry. That's as far as it shoots."

Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window? The guy looks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular window.

It's sad that a family can be torn apart by something as simple as a pack of wild dogs.

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.

I hope, when they die, cartoon characters have to answer for their sins.

If, when you die, you get to choose between regular heaven and pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if not, oh boy!

(That last one is just one that I've heard my dad say, so I'm sorry if it's not word for word.)

Short, Sweet, To The Point

I've decided that long, drawn-out posts that I write in hopes for lots of comments are dumb. I'm going to give lots of short posts for the most part from here on out. Quick updates, short stories, and quotes should fill these roles. So:

I've been thinking about righteous desires and living life to the fullest. When both are combined, we do not need to worry, or do anything except just that--live life to the fullest in persuit of our righteous desires. Sometimes I worry about the complexity of life, but in all reality, life is simple: Desire righteously and live righteously to the best of your ability.
