Be afraid, be very VERY afraid!!! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!

Well it has come to this. I am now a semi-fully lisenced driver. (Some Missouri law) So all of you guys need to be carefull out there. The Josh factor just hit the streets! Be afraid, be very VERY afraid. I passed my test with a 90% out of 100% and the only things I messed up on were the paralelle parking and one lefthand turn. Not sure what happened there but it's all good. I'm so excited!

My apologies please...

I'm dreadfully sorry about the sporadicality of my posts. I'm going to say that I've been "busy". But, if you prefer I'll state what you're all probably thinking anyways: "He's not busy, he's lazy!" And alas! 'tis true. But I'll fill you in on what's been going on!

For starters I'm trying to get back into shape. (you may all stop laughing now.....). I've been keeping to a strict push-up schedule. I'm up to doing 55 in one go. This is about half of my current goal. If anyone has anything less boring to do that's just as effective. Please let me know ASAP! Push-ups are very basic...and thus get boring. Fast!

This is also accompanied by my picking up my sword again and practicing with it. (Also a good method of scaring the passing children on the street.....) I think I'm better now than I ever was! I guess It's because there's less people to talk to during class, (you know who you are).

And wile we're on the subject of blades, I shall inform you all of my knife throwing fascination. I was told how to do it properly and am now attempting to do so in the proper manner. You're supposed to hold the knife by the light end and point the center of gravity towards the target. The rest, I've come to find out, is more or less a matter of luck. But don't worry folks. The only injury's possibly cause by flying knives will be the blunt force trauma induced by the wrong end making contact after a ricochet off of a tree. o_O

That is all for now. I shall try to start posting more often and hopefully be able to get more readers.

On Headbanging and Other Things

Did you know that there are several different ways do "headbang"? No? Well then I am here to edjucinate you. Let us begin.....: One way, (and possibly the most popular) is the "forward-backward-full-head-bob". This move is generated usually during a slower rock song or a rap/pop song. Many would consider this the standard and would leave headbanging at that. Noooo. This is only the beginning. Another method is the "Tiny-look down-concentrate on the music-hippy-bob" This is mostly used during your typical heavy song with deeper lyrics. Usually used by one or all of the guitarists and/or the less superficial fans. Yet another (and my personal favorite) is the "Full body-headache inducing-super bang". This is used by the crazier fans and/or the guitarists or drummer in the band. This particular head band is to be used with caution and is for head banging masters ONLY! And is not, I repeat, not, to be used on anything lighter than a metal core smash hit! These are the most popular methods of banging and there are many more such as: "Rhythmic body thrash with stance and guitar" and "jumping smash head bang". you can also combine these movements into something totally unique and powerfully effective to the specific song you are listening to.

Now that you are fully aware of the power and might of the headbang your assignment is to go find your favorite song and "bang" to it.

In other news. I'm currently in Nashville Tenn. and will be leaving for home tomorrow and (thankfully) arriving tomorrow.

That was fast! I hate fast!

Well I just finished the most amazing week of my life so far. Got to spend quality time with some good friends. Playing video games, talking, running ect. But I'm wondering. Not only was it the most fun week ever but it was also the fastest. How does this happen? You want a moment to last and it goes, or you want something to go quick but it goes slow? It makes me sad just thinking about it. We'll never get that time back and we'll always wonder if we spent it the right way. Then there is yet another question. What is the right way to spend a week?

Bi-lingual Pastors, Geodes and Mountains!!

Well yesterday can be summed up in one word: totally and freakishly awesome!!! (OK so it's four words but one just wasn't enough!) We started last Sunday out, much like any other Sunday at home. We got up, got ready and went to church. We this Sunday was allot different. We got up, we got ready, and went to and Vietnamese church!!! That's right I said Vietnamese! It was totally cool (even though I understood about...none...of the words.) It was cool none the less. And after the service we got invited by some friends to go and cookout in the mountains of Oregon. (only 30 min. away!) The got there and decided to go for a walk. Walking through the valley was really nice and we found and went into caves. My mom almost stepped on a rattlesnake. And we had a wonderful time.
