Colds and Computer Mechanics
I have a cold and have had it for the past 2 days. It does not want to leave. it seems to like me in spite the fact that i hate it. oh well all good things come to end so maybe bad things will to:) oh maybe it thought it would visit with my allergies for a while and they would take turns bothering me (colds and allergies are very polite, always remember that when you feel like kicking one) It looks like we might have a house for when we go back to Canada. My friends are competing today to see who will go to regional. then national. several of my friends went to national already. national are in 2 years.

Finished My Math Course, Played In a Fun Games and Read a Book
Today i took my last test for pre-algebra. I scored 100%. I now know 100% of the things i am supposed to know. I still have 3 weeks of other school left that i need to finish before we go on furlough. on Tuesday night i went to a fun games. i won in level C men's doubles. In fun games you draw a name out of a "hat" and that name is your partner. well the person that belongs to that name or the person to whom that name belongs to depending on how you look at it. It was lots of fun. the prize was $3. I had to pay a dollar to enter though so really only $2 and free play. or $3 and you pay for your play either way it was fun. I stayed till 11:00, 3 hours past the time i had to go to bed. Fun Games are almost as rare as tournaments but you stay later and pay less.
Oh and the book i read was..... I can't remember what it was but it was interesting all the same.
"The next best thing to being wise ones self is to live in a circle of those who are."
C.S. Lewis
"Happiness depends on what happens, joy does not."

>>>>>>Maybe Some Thing About Something<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Kaleb's tire was flat last evening. This morning i fixed it. I also fixed his breaks. Yesterday i was going to lift waits but my coach never texted me a time and never showed up. I think i will ride my bike to Power Zone on Wednesday. Today i have training. Today's training is foot work. like a lot of foot work. 2-4 hours of it.

this is what happens when boys play with things that are most fun.
really fun things that explode. i will not tell what they are for fear that another kid will try it.
"Nor will God force any door to enter in. He may send a tempest about the house; the wind of his admonishment may burst the doors and windows, yea, shake the house to its foundations; but not then, not so, will he enter. The door must be opened by a willing hand, ere the foot of Love will cross the threshold. He watches to see if the door move from within. Every tempest is but an assault in the siege of Love. The terror of God is but the other side of his love; it is love outside, that would be inside-love that knows the house is no house only a place, until it enters."

Bike
On Saturday I got my bike fixed. I don't Know how I did it but i broke my peddles and seat post. I got a new seat post and peddles and peddle arms. a while ago I broke my spokes on my back wheel. I guess I'm a little hard on my bike. I think this afternoon I will ride my bike to Power Zone court with my coach and lift waits. All my friends are off school now. They are training every day for the next 2 weeks. I am not. The Mango trees are in bloom. Not a good thing when you have of allergies and asthma. Last night I took medicine for my allergies. seemed like a good idea till I woke up this morning. well I'm awake, that's the problem. I am out of bed with my eyes open but i am still not awake. or maybe it is just my head, I don't think it got turned on yet. Maybe Air1 will help.... I'll try it.

..........Life.........
Yesterday we had a good Sunday. We listened to a sermon, watched badminton and played Settlers of Catan. I won the game of settlers. In badminton Lee Chang Way lost against Hiddat in championship game.(i don't Know how to spell their names) I don't Know what happened to Lee, he looked very tired mentally. Lee is the number one singles player in the world. Hiddat won the Olympics in 2004 and was world champion the year after. It was a good game but Lee was not himself.
My Dad's leg looks better. not good yet, but a lot better, like a lot. He can now bend his leg witch is good.

I Learn To Fear Rubber Bands
Today I learned to fear rubber bands. The one responsible for teaching me to fear them is Kaleb. Despite a great fear for rubber bands I still ended up the winner in today's war. It was hard, brutally hard but I kept on. In the end my perseverance paid off. sort of.
Ok now on to being serious if that's possible for me.
Garden
My garden is doing good. i planted black beans and they are growing. (i did not plant them on purpose but they are growing good anyway)
Badminton
My training today got canceled because there weren't any courts.

Burns and School and Things
This morning my Dad burned his leg really bad on his motorcycle. His leg got caught on the exhaust pipe when he fell. It is a second degree burn about 2inches wide by 4 or 5 inches long.
next week is my week off from school. Yippee!!!! I am going to work more in my garden. I think I am going to plant more tomatoes and maybe some cucumbers. I finished the story I have been writing.
Weather
The weather is sunny for the first time in a million years (at least it feels that long, but since the world has not existed that long I guess I'm exaggerating a little. )
Garden
Not much has happened with my garden besides that my tomatoes look like they are mad. at least they are not very happy. every thing else is growing good. I picked some of my ginger yesterday.
Badminton
The tournament is next week Saturday. and there is another tournament on Oct 11.

.........
The river was fun. It rained most of the time we were there. i did not make any fish hooks or spears. i did not even go fishing.
there are some guys here to look at our washing machine. Dad and i took it all apart but did not find any thing wrong with it. I kind of think they will not have any better success then we did. but we'll see.
Garden
this morning i planted celery and onion chive roots. i found a stock of ripe bananas. lots of them were eaten by bats already but i got half of them. i have 4 or 5 more stocks coming. 2 of them are almost ripe. i picked a stock a week ago also. we have not even finished that stock. i picked some of my cherry tomatoes this morning.
Badminton
i have training today. Kaleb would also except he injured his leg. We have to turn in our papers for the tournament today. Kaleb is playing mens doubles level D. i will play mixed doubles level C with my Mom and mens doubles level C with my Dad.

Rain...... and Maybe More
Yesterday morning I had great hopes of a sunny day. Yesterday afternoon our yard was flooded. we had a foot of water every where. Not as bad as some times but bad enough i wrote about it.
It was brown out all afternoon. We have had brown outs almost every day for 16 weeks. I am glad we took a trip in the middle. Tomorrow we are going to a river to swim and maybe do some fishing. I am going to try a new way of making fish hooks this afternoon if i have time. well not really a new way, a different way, and maybe a better way. I also want to make a fish spear if i have time.
Garden
Most of my small tomato and cucumber plants died from the rain yesterday. a couple of the big ones look almost dead but i think most of them will survive.
here is a picture of some of my tomatoes before the rain.
Badminton
Kaleb and i have training today. More foot work and running......more tiredness.... more pain..... but hey maybe i can win the tournament! that's a much happier thought.No, actually i like training. It's hard but the rewards are big(if you train hard). it just takes a long time to get them. I think our family will also play this evening after training. I hope.
here is a pictures of another tournament.

I had a good weekend. Saturday night we went and played badminton. we Had fun. ( i at least had fun, and i think everybody else did). My garden is doing OK. my tomatoes don't like the rain that has been visiting us for the past week. they look kind of sad, droopy, and muddy. if they could talk they would not be very nice to listen to. the tomatoes and cucumbers i planted seem to be growing good. This morning Dad and i went out to the farm and got milk, the only real milk on the island. Kaleb is drawing some really cool pictures of Legolas and Frodo. i think i better go start school before it gets too late.

snakes and things
I just shot a snake out of a tree, unfortunately there were 2 snakes. I'm still looking for the other one. I have a lot of experience chasing snakes. i chased my first snake when i was 6. kind of a stupid thing to do. i have learned since then that you don't call all your friends and circle the unfortunate snake. you might become the unfortunate one. so if you come upon a snake please take my advice and don't chase it, circle it or do any other stupid things like I do.I tried to learn... but you can see by what i did today I did not learn very well. oh well. It was exiting. not that I don't have exiting things happen to me every day, i have plenty, but that does not take away from the fact that it was exiting.
