Yes indeed; spring is in the air! Not really… According to my decisively and essentially novice eye, this weather currently outside, does not strike spring in any way whatsoever. This isn’t something I’m neither qualified nor conferrable to make… but… it was at 1:30 in the afternoon when I found myself to be caught in hail, rain, wind, and the cold; I don’t really think spring is in the air yet… But that’s just me. Ha, there’s my luck showing off its superiority once again. The very second, and I mean the very SECOND spring break arrives, the bad weather shows up, right on time. Most of my daily activities are either outside, or in bed. (I have sleeping problems…) Isn’t that just a classic? Spending spring break inside due to the weather?

Well… It's been a good fourteen years, but our dog, Snoopy has passed away. What do you expect? It's bound to happen at some point. This past year for Snoopy has been hard. Hip problems… eye loss, hearing loss. And yet she still went everywhere with the family, whether we were biking, or doing yard work, she was always there with us… But now that Snoopy is gone, I suppose that means we should be getting a new dog real' soon. Apparently, I'm going to own the dog, which will keep me busy, and accompanied when I can't sleep *. The one thing I don't have planned out is the Dog's name… My father named his dog Snoopy because it 'Snooped around'. I figure I'll be naming my dog that same way, but still, I can't think of anything. It'll probably poop a lot, but that doesn't mean I'm going to name it 'Poopy'! I figure the dog will be loud and noisy, as all dogs are, so perhaps I could name it Echo? That's a good name, however, I think it's smart to name it AFTER I purchase it…

It's been an interesting week. Oh bother, I say that every time I blog, don't I? It seems that, at the equivalent time, I find myself to be saying 'I have nothing to blog about', while at the same time, saying it was an interesting week. Well, that's just me. I'm the only person I know that can say it was an out of the ordinary week, and at the same time, have utterly nothing to blog about.

Well, for one thing, I suppose my mother is "Un-Schooling" me. Don't ask me what that's supposed to be, your guess is as good as mine. But, seriously, all jokes aside. I guess my mom is generously giving me a break from all this depression going on with myself. I'm in continuous pain from my braces. Thus, I've become nocturnal. The pain is unbearable, I can't sleep at night, and is seems like no one gives me a break, but finally, there's a light at the end of the tunnel! A break from all the strains life has thrown at me! Until next week comes, then full reverse into the tunnel yet again!

Today, due to my li'l' break for school, I've been cleaning my room quite a lot lately. I'm really "flabbergasted" as to how many odd things I've found swollen in my shelves. It seems that one shelf unparticular seems to have an abundant amount of convenient bits and pieces. I've found a computer mouse, Deodorant soup, (Huh?) what appears to be half of an eraser… some ink, a spoon? A broken sun glasses lens… Yup, you name it, chances are, you'll find it in my room. I question how much I could get from selling it all…

Ow. Yesterday, I had to set out for the orthodontist to get my braces tightened. It wasn't a usual appointment, either. One thing they did really got my goat; sanding. Yup, they had to sand between my teeth. Regrettably for me, they were also unintentionally sanding my gums, too, so I was bleeding rather badly.

I've noticed lately that a lot of people I know, their beliefs and actions contradict each other. Most parents are like that; They tell you something not to do, when they do it all the time. Like I'm restricted for one hour of TV, computer, or anything like that a day; but everyone in my family, not restricted by that rule, does the computer, TV, etcetera, all day, literally. I think that it's a failed generation if the kids don't turn out better then the parents. Sheesh, It's like a police officer speeding. For crying out loud, at least you can abide by your OWN rules.

Some Christians think public schools can't teach about Evolution. I kind of agree, and disagree at the same time. I could go either way. I don't really mind being taught it, even though I don't believe it. It's sciences class, not "God class". Although I don't believe it, it's still science, so I think it's okay for it to be taught. It may actually give me some help next time I have a logical conversation about how the world began; I could talk about what I believe, while having reasons I don't believe something else, because I learned about it! How convenient! Just because you don't believe something, doesn't mean learning about it won't help you in life. I recently realized that it's February 21. Not a big deal; It's just that, my friend, Jonathan, still has Halloween candy from not only last year, but the year before that! Obviously, he's not addicted to candy, like myself. Secondly, he must of had, maybe 15 pounds of candy. I just felt like acknowledging that. Yes, I am weird ike that.

Wow. There's a lot of pointless inventions out there these days. I was eating lunch and saw a guy using a leaf blower. Think about it, the entire purpose of a leaf blower is to move a mess from one place to another, without really getting rid of it. Maybe it has some code, and the real purpose of it is to move all of your leaves to the neighbors yard. Another pointless invention: Glasses cleaners. Windshield wipers for your classes! Don't waste another two seconds cleaning you classes again! Then there are a lot some pretty awesome inventions. They may be pricey, but if people could afford them, companies would make a fortune. Like automatic vacuum cleaners. Little things that clean your carpet 24 / 7. They work better then your average vacuum, too. It totally kills the human element in vacuuming, so it not only picks up allergens and things like that, but it could also make personal patterns in your carpet, I believe. \The following statment is true; The previous statement is false...Writers block; So this is what it's like...
