Striving to Strum

I took my "piece-of-junk" guitar into the shop the other day, and the dude put in the missing string and tuned it up, and today I learned 21 chords, and how to play "twinkle twinkle", "O to Joy" and "hail to the Cheif". later i will learn some more exiting songs, but for now i'm satisfied.

This new instumental knowledge will help me get my band off the ground and maybe actually release an album. thank you to all the supporters and freinds out there, you are appreaciated.

Fire in the Hole!!!

"Put it out! put it out!"
These are the words of a frantic student trying to douse the flaming paper towel in his hand.
That student is me. In science class today, we were heating beakers of water on hot plates, my freind, David and I were next to eachother waiting for the water to heat up, when i siad. "hey, how are we going to pick these up, thier really hot."
David said, " I don't really know, good point"
"well, we could use paper towels" I suggested.
So when I started to pick up the beaker, paper towel in hand, the paper towel burst into flame! I noted this at once, and after about 3 frantic blows i had stopped the flame. Some students laughed others were freaking out. But i didn't burn the school down, we all had a good laugh about it in the end [including the teacher].
Come to think of it, I think I left the singed towel on the counter.

Employed at 13

As some of you may already know, as of today, i will take an 8 hour class to become certified as a referee. I made a call to my future boss today who will email info to me tommorow. I will get paid so this is in fact a real job, i can't wait to get started, and i hope i will be a good ref. thank you for you support and helping me follow through with this.

Will 2008 Be Great?

Speaking in perspective of January 2nd 2008, I admit 2007 will be missed. It was a year of memories, change, and newly aquired knowledge. Hopfuly speaking I do hope that 2008 will be everything i want it to be and more. Another hard thing to think about is a kid born in 2000 is turning eight this year, sure make me, a young person, even feel old.

Thankfulness At It's Finest

It has been a while since my previous post, but iv'e been a little busy. I have given some thought to how much I have to be thankful for. Tommorow my dear cousins, aunt, and uncle will be arriving at our house to spent the week with us. For about 5 years now this has become the most loved Davis-Amarante tradition out of the many. We always have a blast even if things don't always go as we expect it. Think about that for a sec, if everything went exactly how you expected, would life be any fun? i don't think so.
One thing i am thank full for is the fact that I have a family to be thankful with, not everybody does. I won't spoil the suprises you will see on my thankfulness feathers. One thing I will say is I am thankful that the Packers are 8-1!!! Yay! Peace and love folks, see you later.

Back to Camp

Not expecting to go to camp for another year, my church is holding a retreat there. I will be gone all weekend, untill my return on sunday afternoon. It will be very fun i'm sure, and a good break from everything around me. Including myself, there will be 29 students attending, and hopefully it won't rain the whole time.
So leave me comments and i will see them when i get back. Spread the love.

Back With a Bang

Well, it's been about a month now, and i have finally got on blogger, so sorry for the hold up folks. Send me comments and stuff to tell me whats up. My life has been far from plain, with school, freinds, family and everything. For all those people who say that there is nothing to do, your wrong, life always has adventures to go on. If an adventure for you is climbing a big tree, than cool, go for it, but remember, there is always a greater challenge to take.

Many of you reading this, were probably expecting another wonderfully written, sport story, or 5 step to , well, i'm getting there. Within a matter of a few days or less, there will be the big story written up, and that my freinds is why this is entitled, "Back With a Bang". Peace... :)

5 Steps To A Good Baseball Game Wave

1. BUY CHEAP SEATS, these seats often have drinkers who catch on to the wave quite quickly and are very tipsy.

2. BRING YOUR FREINDS, bringing 4 or 5 of your buddies will increase the chances of starting a good wave. If you and your buddies start it, your section of seats will catch on, spreading throught the park for the ideal effect of a ball game wave.

3. WAIT FOR A LULL, don't do the wave during an interesting or exiting part of the game, such as a big hit or home run. wait for a mound meeting or and long at bat. this will make the crowd thirsty for exitment, thus the perfect time for the wave.

4. GO FOR THE END, shoot for the last half of the game to perform the wave, the crowd is a bit tired or drunk and will be more motivated to do the wave properly.

5. SHOW YOUR ENERGY, if you come off as an energetic and fun person, people will take to you and want to do the wave with you and ask you to do it again and again increasing the amount of partisipants.

Green Bay "packed" away by Jaguars

After Green Bay's win in Seattle, 48 - 13, they lost at home with Jacksonville, 21 - 13. Veteran quarterback, Brett Favre has been doing a wonderful job after some say he was slipping. The Packers now have 2 wins and 1 loss, which isn't bad, and it's only the pre-season.

After a slow first quarter, Green Bay earned ten points to take the lead. The lead was swept away in the third quarter, when the Jaguars got fourteen points. The Packers had hope in the fourth quarter, when they gained three points, but Jacksonville got seven points to seal the deal.

Michael Vick "Chewed Up"

Some think it's funny, others think it's offensive, but either way the new dog chew toy that resembles Michael Vick is appropriate for his crime. You can get one for your dog online at vickdogchewtoy.com. Vick deserves this humiliation, training dogs to fight and be violent, is honestly barbaric. If he can't find better use of his time, then that's pretty sad. He is still fighting in court as of now, but officials still don't know what to do with these un-naturally violent dogs. We will just need to wait and watch.
