Trains, Church, HOTT!

Church was really good today, good message, saw some good people. People like Anne Willy, and Kara. Friend's from high school. I really like Pathways. After that, I get home, take off my shirt and start mowing. Now, our lawn mower is from the cave man days. It weighs I think about 2,000 pounds, and wow she is a beast. It is like 96 out, and I was sweating like a pig. Not only the front yard, but the back, which has grown dramatically in the past year. It's a really nice yard, it just needs a riding mower and some good lines. ;-)

After that, I hang out around the house. Then Chris comes over at about 7:00PM and we watch Ice Road Truckers, on the history or discovery channel. watched that forever, then I put out the great idea, "hey Chris, why don't we go shoot bottle rockets at cows?" He was a bit reluctant, but finally agreed to give it a try. We looked and looked out in Amish country, but couldn't find any good targets. So, then we just went out on a midnight drive in the country. Came upon a rail road track, and I made him stop and wait for it. Then I got these cool pictures.

Okay, this picture is one I took first. I am standing on the tracks, and the train is pretty far off in the distance. But, you can see the rail road tracks, and the bright light. Okay, now at this point, the ground is starting to shake, and the train is approaching fast. I have moved off the tracks directly, and my heart starts to beat faster. Pretty cool shot if I may say so myself. Now, this picture is by far my favorite out of the three. It would probably suck if I wasn't so good at explaining it. At this point, the train is passing, probably at about 55 or 60 MPH. If you look closely at the picture you can see the rail road sign that I am pretty much holding onto. The reason for the big red blurr in the middle of the picture, is from the rail road sign on the other side of the train. Right when I took the picture, the sign close to me was not lit, but the sign on the other side was lit. So, it in turn created a huge blurr on the screen. The ground was shaking violently, and I just love standing close to big trains. It is such an adreline rush!

My day was good, hopefully tomorrow I will hear from the backery. TA TA

Hey every body, it's 7/7/07 lets get married!

Turns out there are a lot of people who want to get married today. Maybe it's because triple seven's seems lucky, maybe it's because it's so unique, maybe it is just an easy date for the groom to remember. I dunno. My cousin didn't get married today, but today is when we had the reception for him. It was a good time, and I am happy to welcome his wife, Tanya to the family. Here is a pic. of the happy couple.

Ed Koch, from the Las Vegas Sun wrote this....

Wedding chapels are reporting record bookings for 07-07-2007 - which reduces nicely to the lucky 7-7-7 for the superstitious among us.

Clark County, which recorded 122,000 marriages last year, could host 3,000 or more weddings that day at its 40 or so wedding chapels - maybe 10 times the average. On a normal Saturday during the summer , the Clark County License Bureau says , it issues 300 to 500 licenses at $55 a pop.

She usually has her eyes open, they are really pretty eyes, and that is my bad for not checking the picture until just know while I am looking at it on my BLOG. My bad! It was a good time too. They had tables set up and what not, my mom cooked some good food, and it was just a really good family time deal.

Yea, that was the jist of it. Also, to push the fun over the edge, there was KAROKE!! And, just to prove the fact that I have the cutest little cousins on the face of the earth, I recorded some of their singing time, and posted it on YOUtube so you can all enjoy it like I did.

My favorite part of the day was definately the drive to the reception, and the drive home from the reception with my dad. We had simple talk, but it was a really easy environment for me to talk to him. I love my dad to death, but sometimes we let the simple grind of life get in the way of talking like normal people, especially son and fathers do. So, I got to tell him how I feel about certain things. Like how I wasn't even going to consider college, until I had a car and what not taken care of. So, I told him that # 1 on my important list of things to do was save up and buy a good car. He didn't seem to react with too much not okayness. So, today was good. Ohh yea, the bakery that my dad is working at right now for his summer job(he is a teacher) is going to try to interview me. That would be great if I could start working there. I could save up some Buck$ there. :-)

today is Friday, 3 days after Tuesday

Today I got something accomplished. I went to the farmers house that I had the corn field incident with back in September. If you don't know what I am talking about, E-mail me and I will tell you. (mobileRILEY@gmail.com) So, I went over there today....And he wasn't there. I talked to his wife who seemed calm and appriciative. Then she called him to tell him I was here. He said he was 10 minutes away, and would be there right away. So, this dude, older, but not too old, gets out of his truck with 2 of his pal's. One of them in a smart guy and tells Ken(field owner) not to sign any documents. Ya see, I had to get this piece of paper signed saying he recieved payment for the damage I caused in the corn field. It sucked that I had to go do that, the first thing he said was, "wasn't this from like a year ago?" I said yes, and had to explain the circumstance to him, and went on with it. It took him a while, and some things were delt with. Then, he signed the paper. So, I am all set for Court on the 10th........:-/

I then went back to Chris's house. We stayed there for a while, then the worst happened. Chris was bord of me beating him in Halo2, and so he said...."hey, lets go get some gas" just to get out of his house, ya know? So I reminded him of his wheel being shaky; this occasionally happens in Chris's car. But, when he tightens the lug nuts, it all goes away. So, he did that exactly...........Then, the lug nut broke off. He got depressed, and we lit off some fireworks. Then eventually my friend Andy picked me up. We went back to my house, and I made some hamburgers. I am full, tired, and ready for bed now. Good night.

Today sucked

I was really bored today. It was compounded by my friend Chris not being able to make a single decision on his own. I don't have a job, so I have to try to find something to keep myself occupied all day. Then, when I hang out with Chris..........He can't even make his mind up on the most simple decisions. It pisses me off like you wouldn't believe, also, this kid would let the most GOLDEN oppertunity go by him, just because he didn't want to step outside of his comfort zone. AHHHHHHHHH! I need a job, and I need a car, and I would like a girl friend. Is that so much to ask for? Seriously, is it?

happy 4th of July.....

Yup, what a proud day. Lets celebrate this awesome country of ours. I'm so proud of it, I am so excited to be a part of America!! Just say it out loud, wow, sends shivers down my back. We drove out the Native Americans, and then built this land on the backs of enslaved African Americans. Thats awesome huh? Ohhh my gosh, what am I doing? I'm sorry everyone, I shouldn't speak my mind like that, I know all countries have dark parts of their past.....I guess I am just in a negative mood.

Camping was fun. We all had a good time, it was a good Guys Night Out.

I smelled like camp fire when I got home, and I ate plenty of hot dogs cooked over the fire. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

I also watched the fire works this evening with Chris. They were pretty good this year. I saw some huge explosions that literally filled up the sky. I was impressed this year with the show.

I really need a job. I have a high school education, I am really good with people, I am good with my hands, I have experience in construction, and land scaping. I am fairly computer savy, and I am an extremely hard worker. If anyone knows of a job that would fit me, let me know. I don't care if you are on the other side of the world. ohhh yea, I don't have a set of wheels as of now. I kind of need to save up for one of those....heh heh.....

leavin on the 3rd to enjoy the 4th

I no longer work at Vision Scapes. Even though last Friday I got called in, I guess that didn't mean anything. Yesterday I got up at like 6:00AM and was ready to go, but knowing my forgetful boss, I decided to call in to make sure everything was good to go. I call in, and ask Mark if he has work for me.......immediately he starts beating around the bush..........I said, "Mark, either you have work or you don't." He said well, you can come in, then right away said, well actually, right now is a weird time, if you have other options, now might be a good time to check them out............. UGHHH! I have worked at Vision Scapes for over a year, I am a very dedicated worker. SLAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM The little bird on my shoulder is tweeting "go back to college." And then, the part of me that despises school and especially our furthered education program slaps the little birdy off and stomps on her. DANGIT!! There is just too much going on, I want to get out of my parents house and get on with my life, but I have my health to constantly worry about.........So, I decide to make the best of the current situation, and live at home and work my but off to save up and buy a car, at least then I can start to be self sufficient, but I get slammed with court fee's and I lose my job............Well, at least I have my girl friend to confide in.....................ohhhh wait, she cheated on me when I was in CHINA!!!! Thanks Chelsy. Back to the basics I reckon, Me & God............even though I constantly screw up and this and that and what not.................yup. ok.

Going camping with Chris, Tony, Josh, and Trouble(pit bull). Small camp ground not to far outside of the city. it'll be fun. swim, fish, fire you know the drill.

Good to go back to my own church.

Today started off like this. My friend Tyler Morningstar picked me up and I got to go back to my church. I was so happy because I haven't gone to it in such a long time, and it is in a new building that I have never been in before. It was so cool. Ohhhh, and before I forget, I had to make a correction to an earlier BLOG. Last Tuesday on "it was a hot one today" I put some false information. I said that last saturday I got an OWI when I meant to put, last September I got an OWI, I definately confused some people, and that is my bad. I have learned my lesson.

Today I got to go to my friend Jason Burdick's new house. He bought a mobile home for 6,000 from an old lady who had to move to a retirement home. I know what you are thinking, you are thinking ohhh it is probably a piece of crap, and looks nasty bla bla bla, well you are WRONG! It is nice inside, and well maintained. The only bad thing is, it is like 70 feet away from the rail road tracks. So it can get kind of noisy at times. he he, but ohh well.

Then I went to my friend Tony's, and had another bon fire, we roasted hot dogs, and talked. Tony is trying to sell his awesome car.

1992 3000GT VR4, it's got like 127,000 miles on it. All wheel drive, 4 brand new tires on it, comes with the 4 chrome stock rims, with 4 replacement tires. Interior is getting kind of old, but still looks good. Runs like a champ, well maintained. Tony has gotten this car up to 160MPH stock. Just think what you could do if you put some time and money into the engine. Tony is asking $7,000.oo for it. If you are interested, call Tony. (260)460-7229. Very nice car, I wouldn't put it on my BLOG if it wasn't a nice car.

MS UPDATE
Alright, I know I said in an earlier BLOG that Church is where I first felt the tremors, and it would be awesome if that is where I noticed that they went away. Well, in church today I did feel them come on after a while, but...In all seriousness, they didn't feel near as strong. So, I think that is a good sign, and hopefully just the start of what I notice changing in my body.
