Julia Nunes
Julia will be in Tennessee this month, which just so happens to be where I live. I really would love to go see her and will try my best to make it to one of her shows. I found her sometime last year on youtube.com and have really enjoyed her music. My parents even got into it, and every time there's a new video that she's put on youtube they want to see it. I watched her for a few months while really wanting to get a Ukulele. Julia and some other peeps on youtube inspired a ton of peeps to pick up the Uke, so much that it was hard to find a good quality Uke anywhere. Of course, my Father and I bought one, the same one that she uses. I'm not all that good on it but have been enjoying it! Check out her channel if you haven't seen any of her videos or haven't heard of her.

In Town
I spent most of the morning in town looking for jobs, while turning in an application. There are only two places in town that have openings. I'm surprised that the florist shops don't need any help since Mother's Day is next weekend most florists higher in extra help; that day is the biggest holiday for florists. I found a Ballroom dancing studio on the square in town; I didn't know it was there, last I knew it wasn't. I hope to get a job and maybe start taking dancing lessons. I made my finally stop at the library after running all over the town. I was surprised to find that they have been buying some of the newer teen fiction; I'm glad that they are keeping it more up-to-date. I return home somewhat disappointed that there weren't more employers looking for applications, but I am glad that there's at lest two places in town looking for applications. I decided to listen to my stomach and fill it with some very good ramen; I then open one of the books I got from the library and start reading away. Over all it's been a good day, I talked to my fiancee, texted with an old friend and I still have kung-fu to look forward to.

Update for most of the month.
The Past Two Weeks:
My brother Matt and I went to the camp in Arkansas; we got to see some really good friends, and meet some new peeps. I got to see my Fiancee, while Matt got to see a girl that he had interest in. They both hooked up over the week there at the camp. Matt's girlfriend's name is Jessica; she's a twin, her sister is Audrey, who also hooked up with a guy named Ivan. Jessica and Audrey's home life is very complicated, but in the end Jessica wound up coming to live with us, while her twin sister went with another family. I have always wanted a sister so I pretty much have one now :) On Wednesday I went home with Nick and stayed at one of his friends house. While I was there Nick had me look for apartments while he was at work. We also looked at a house that was for rent, he's known the owners for years. We wound up getting the house, it's a quant little house. Mom and Dad said when seeing the pictures of the house, that it's a much better place than their first apartment. Nick drove me home after a week and stayed for a two nights; it was a good two weeks. Jessica, Matt, my other Brother Josh, and I went shopping the other day, Jessica needed some more clothes than the clothing she just took to camp. It's nice that Jessica and I are the same size, she's just has longer legs than me. Jessica is also really good at drawing so we got her a sketchbook, gel pens, and a book about drawing, which Matt also wanted. I got a the book "Fragile Eternity by Melissa Marr"
I'm still reading the second book, so I'm trying to hurry through it to start the third :) So far I have been really enjoying those books. Matt's been testing/helping Jessica with her hand eye coordination on video games, she's not doing to bad for not really ever playing any; right now they are playing Halo 3.
My best friend Michelle (I call her my twin) She's getting Married in two weeks. I am part of the Wedding, one of her Bridesmaids. I got my Bridesmaid dress and it's beautiful, I can't wait till the Wedding! Her Wedding will be in North Carolina, somewhere out in the middle of know where... lols.
That's pretty much what's been going on in my life, and what will soon happen, hopefully I'll update sooner.

Pile of Books
I have a pile of books on my desk, just sitting there awaiting to be read; most I've gotten about half way through, maybe a little more. Once I get those books read, that are on my desk, I have another pile elsewhere that are the same, awaiting to be read. Most of my time isn't spend well, I sit mainly on my imac surfing the web and playing MMORPG's. I really should be working more on learning an instrument or reading. I have a trip that's coming up, which I'm really looking forward to; the place I'm going you ask? Well, it's a camp West of where I live. I hope my Brother and I will have a great time. There's a little river that runs by the camp, I've been told that it's usually just warm enough to get out there and do everything, but get in the water. I also hope that it's warm enough to at lest do that :)

Fun at Dollywood
Well, the last weekend of May my family and I, with some friends from Alaska, went to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.
We had to pay extra to get something very much like the Disney's FastPass, but all 7 of us kids split the cost so it was only about 5 bucks each. I'm glad that we got it cause it made all the main rides easier to get to. We waited about 2-5 mins instead of 15 or more mins inline. We all had a ball, I got to see my twin Michelle again, which I hadn't seen in about a year or so. I also got to meet her Fiancee Nathan, which I now can approve of. :P My family and I left Saturday morning, and had to stop by the Uptons to pick up some grain that we had ordered, then went up to Pigeon Forge to a camp ground. We set up camp, and waited for Michelle and her Mother Debbie to arrive. They camped out with us that night. It started to rain in the morning, but when it finally slowed down we packed up camp, ate, and got ready to go to the theme park. We met up with Nathan and Michelles' brother and sister at mall before we got to the park along with some other friends of ours, Ceri and Joe. (Joe is my Dad's boss) All 12 of us crammed into 2 cars and drove over to the park. It was alot of fun and I can't wait to do something like that again with them or with other friends!

Spring time, with a twist...?
Yes, it's spring down here! The grass is green and leaves are appearing! The weather has been nice and warm along with a cool breeze. We have started to work on our garden, I've also fixed my bike so I've been riding with a friend up and down our road.
We the other night had a small earthquake around 4:30 in the morning. I happened to not sleep all the night except for 2 hours.
I also happened to be on the floor trying to sleep while the earthquake appeared. I first thought it was the wind because I had heard it blow up against my window a moment before the quake started. While it was going on I thought the washing machine? But it was 4:30 in the morning there's no way it would be on, sometimes our washing machine shakes the house a little. I then thought earthquake? Then it suddenly stopped, but it was not over, no. It appeared again a second time. This one was a little larger then the last and lasted longer. The second one shook things in my room, while I lay there on the floor thinking what's going to fall on me. I look up to see my light above me. Frightened, I look to my left and decide it would be a good thing to seek shelter under my desk, by this time the quake was over nothing had fallen or broken. I still thought it would be a good idea to sleep the rest of the night under my desk, I push my desk chair out of the way and pull my covers under with me. I fell asleep within minutes, it was a good thing that I went under my desk because for the first time that night I got some sleep, it just so happened that after the earthquake had happened I would have to get up for work in three hours.
After work my Brother, Matt and I went up to Bowling Green KY to hang out before the movie we had planed to go see with our boss/kung-fu teacher, Josh my other Brother came up for the movie as well. We all went to see the Jackie Chan and Jet Lee's new movie The Forbidden Kingdom, it was a great film, getting to see Jackie Chan and Jet Lee fight against and with each other was just plan awesome. Around seven to eight o'clock that night I finally started to crash from the lack of sleep.
Well that's what has been happening with me as of late.

Snow
This is like the first Snow day that my friend has had this Winter. (I think)
My Friend Leta calls me this morning around 9:00 am asking if I wanted to hang out, I'm like yeah sure since you don't have school, so she found her sled that we've only used once, which happened to be the first Winter she got it. There was just enough snow to barely cover the grass so we tried to make a baby snowman. We used her sled to get snow from other places along our road. The neighborhood dog came out to greet us and climb all over us wanting to lick us, we tried to get him to help us dig, but sadly that failed. :( By the time we got enough snow to make our snowman the snow became to hard and wouldn't pack nicely to other wads of snow, so in the end we wound up giving up. We had fun over all, and it was funny to see my friend that hasn't been around a lot of snow interact with it. I did manage to give her a white wash :P *laughs evilly* Hahahahaha! Anyway here's some pictures of what happened this morning. Also the snow is already mostly melted.... yeah that's Tennessee for ya!
Our snow balls we made! Ha Eric I can make a good snowball!
Out in front of my house.
Neighborhood doggy!
Me with my Doggy hat!

Upton's Tabernacle
Hey! I just got back from the Upton's Tabernacle. It was a lot of fun! Lai and I slept under the stars the last two nights. The first night was the coldest out of the two, but it was the clearest night. Oh, so many stars. *sigh* I think that was the first time I've ever just slept on the ground without a tent. I kept waking up in the middle of the night about every hour or so. I got to see a lot of stars and how the night changed into morning, also I saw 3 shooting stars! The first one was when everybody was at the camp fire, and my brother Josh pointed it out everybody had time to turn and look at it. It was huge! Saturday night the teen's/kids danced we did the posty dance and the virginia reel. Before my family and I left to come home, I got to ride Lai's horse barebacked. Then I got Lai to hop on with me. The horse I guess didn't like where I was sitting on her. So, she lightly bucked us off. Lai, I think got a foot down and I was holding on to her, so I think she slowed my fall. I still landed on my butt and then hit my head. All I saw of hooves I got up as fast as I could.
Our sleeping spot!

Our Creation
Well, my Brother and I made lunch today. We kinda just made it up on the spot. It was some kind of beef stir fry. It had Chuck beef steaks, All colors of bell peppers, carrots, onions, mushrooms, jalapenos, and serrno peppers. Everything was sliced thinly. When we added the serrno peppers in to the mix, the smell was so strong in the air, that I had to open the window. If you stood in the kitchen for more then 30 seconds you would start to cough your head off.
My Brother went and got a mask so he could finish stirring it up. It was a lot of fun.
It was really spicy too. We added Szechuan sauce and it made it even more spicy :)
We also had some rice with it. Yummy! My Brother and I love to go buy fresh food and then cook things like this and we always have to take pictures of it. Anway I hope this looks really good to you! Ja!
