31

31

The number 31... Now, you might be wondering what the number 31 has anything to do with this blogpost.  If it makes you feel better, it's not all that exciting r_r

So 31 is the number of days in the longer months of the year, and I have taken upon myself some month challenges... Or at a least I have one currently in mind.  If I come up with more I will let you know, but for now... x_x 

My first 31 day challenge is this:

Read the Book of Mormon, cover, to cover in 31 days! xD

That might seem like a lot of reading but it only takes about a half an hour a day n_n

Why am I sharing this with you?

Because I started it yesterday and thought that those of you who are wanting to join me in my quest may follow along.  Its about 17 pages a day except for 18 pages for the first couple of days. Anyways if you want to join me keep posted and follow me on my journey n_n

And if you've never read the BOM cover to cover before, or don't know what it is, or aren't LDS you can join me! (you can actually join me for any reason n_n) anyways, follow along and we can party it up spiritually because the spirit is a great stress reliever.

I think this is my first religious post ever... EVER... u_u tehe oops...

Well it won't be my last.

Also you should start a bucket list, they are fun.  Mine is really wrinkly and crumpled and it makes me feel cool when I have a personally important piece of paper thats worn out... Don't ask me why, it just does :)

this is day 2 of 31 day challenge #1 more challenges coming soon!

READY...

SET...

GO!

Take My Hand

There's people out there in the black

Tonights the kind of night,

So here we go again.

Walking along,

Cuz the night is dead.

And if you are what you say you are

And you've been raised up believen'

There is more in this world to be found

Then dream!

Forget the things

That get away

What's the big idea?

Put your faith in a late night show

I'm not afraid,

Are you?

What did I do wrong?

How many times,

Can I push it aside?

You're my only hope

When you're at the end of the road

No time to think of consequences

But it's always better

When we're together

. . .

So it's over

Up in flames

Life is a Dream

This is just a short story that I wrote during work today, I hope you like it :)

Dark Gloomy fog creeped over the sun-bleached pavement as Mark lay motionless in the gutter.  Shreds of cloth tattered and torn were strewn about his motionless figure in a vain attempt to hold in what was left of his lingering body heat.  His mind was in a state between sleep and consciousness.  Thoughts and memories without number tumbled and blurred through his rotting cerebrum.  Time itself seemed to halt in its miserable path.  Mark's heart pounded slower then death slipping upon a wounded soldier.

Suddenly a crashing wave of warmth flooded over his entire being. Colors twisted, swirled, and combusted into a vivid and beautiful image.  A beautiful woman stood in the shimmering sunlight, golden brown hair radiating brighter then the sun.  Dressed completely in white, glowing as an angel would, a slight breeze ruffled her dress.  As Mark then glanced down he eyed two children holding each of the woman's velvet soft hands.  One boy, blonde hair & gorgeous eyes the color of green emeralds stood on her right hand, a girl with hair just as the woman's and baby blue eyes just like Mark's stood on her left.

Tears of joy blurred Mark's vision; as he wiped them from his face, he grinned an cheek splitting grin.  It was the first time he had seen his family in twenty years.
There stood his wife Carla and their two children Bobby, and Rosa more beautiful then ever.
Bobby grinned, "Welcome home daddy!"
Mark then realized he hadn't fallen asleep, he had just woken up.

Haircut and other things of little importance x_x

x_x <---That, for the record, is the face Mario makes when he dies... Poor Mario :(
I got a haircut... For some reason I cut my hair really short, and grow it out really long, but I only like the length in between.


I think I should probably start cutting my hair more often and maintaining it at a length I actually enjoy.


College is quite difficult this semester, working 20 hours a week does not agree with homework, Reviews, or any TA office hours >< but we will figure it out, eventually. 
I must say that being back at college is extremely enjoyable and I do like it a lot.
Although being home is nice, there is just something about living independently that makes life a little bit zesty!  


I have to go to work...


Good-day

Fault

Sometimes it doesn't turn out

not exactly how you want it

you thought you were fine

and you were for some time

but it's never quite perfect. . .

Is it?

Every so often time goes by slowly;

dragging your feet 

ever so slightly.

The good went by swiftly

And the worse slumps on your front door

Not leaving or moving an inch.

But you drag it inside.

It hasn't left

it will remain.

For quite some time.

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N

No matter what happens: L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N

Though College is hard:

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N

Though we always have trials:

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N

Though we are sick and injured:

 L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N

Just please remember that no matter what happen:

L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N

One Whole Year. . . What's next?

-I'm going to keep my room organized and clean.
-I'm going to graduate from High School.
-I'm going to spend more time practicing my musical instruments and play less video games.
-I'm going to eat tomatoes, green peppers, and like them.
-I'm going to eat healthy... I really ought to not drink soda...
-I'm going to go to college.
-I'm going to get a job! I WILL GET A JOB!


^^^^^
that stuff up there.... that's my old list of new years resolutions! From a whole year ago... 
How did I do?
First of all, my room did used to be extremely dirty. And back at the apartment Trevor was the messy one after all xD
I graduated from high school, as if that was a challenge xP but hey! I did do it :)
I didn't change my practicing of musical instruments much at all... So that one failed.  And I'm too busy to try again...
Tomatoes: used to hate; love them now! I think I did that one just fine :)
Green Peppers: I don't hate them anymore... I would call that improvement ;)
^^^ I think that counts as my eating healthy, and as for the soda, it's been a few minutes since my last carbonated beverage.
I made it to college... I'm still in college... Let's stay in college :)
As for jobs... I've had four this year. I'm currently still employed at the fourth, go me! xD


So if you haven't noticed today is the one year anniversary of my blog!
44 posts and 965 views!  It's crazy isn't it?
That you've been reading about my dreadfully boring life for that long?
That a year ago I was single, had a drama filled high school life and didn't know where I would be in the next year?
Well to me it is, I can't believe I made it this far.  And even though last year was fantastic! I think I could make this year a weeee bit better; so I'm going to do it.


Resolutions here we go:


1.  A's (as in grades) I need them so I'm going to get them.  This semester I'm going to get a 4.0 GPA at college.  We'll work out the kinks but for now I'm starting with library all day, every day: before class and after, before work and after, before meals and after.  ALL THE TIME!


2.  Get my mission papers in by April.  I wan't to go on a mission and so I will, and having them in as soon as I can will be the best thing I can do for that!  


3.  Reach 50 blog-posts (in addition to my 44 [so basically 94 posts]) by the end of april.  Because I love blogging and I love writing.  They will be short and sweet, but they will be meaningful.  


4.  Learn 1 hymn in the hymn book a week on the piano.  That way by my mission I'll have about 28 hymns down! And during the summer I could probably bump it up to 2 or 3 a week xD


5.  Language-  this has been a constant problem with me for quite sometime.  I've had my good days, and I've had my bad, my goal is to have all good days :)
No potty related words! None! No name calling of sort, no cussing, no racial or derogatory terms of any sort!  No jokes about any race, any person, or anything of the sort. 


6.  Family- If things go as planned I only have 7 months left with my family and then its off to serve the Lord for 2 years.  So I wan't to build that bond and strengthen it.  Treat my brother the best I can. Respect my parents even though I want to rebel sometimes :P  Talk kind to my mom and sisters and don't annoy my sisters.


7.  Write missionaries.  I feel like I have a lot of friends going on missions.  Oh wait! That is because I do... So maybe I should write them? One letter every other week to one missionary.  That is the starting goal.  We'll improve from there.  


8.  Limit time on Facebook! Facebook is a time sucker! It sucks time away!  So I should rid of it! I think yes! 


Anyways, I think I'll be going to bed now...
If I think up any resolutions later then I'll add to this list, then again we will see :)
Good-morning everybody and welcome to 2012
Oh and hey blog! Happy Birthday! :)
