Commando Mug Seems to be a Success!

This week the DECA club at school opened up a coffee shop of sorts in our gym lobby. It seems to be going great. Everything is a dollar, which is amazing because you can't beat that. Every morning the line gets longer and longer leading me to believe that the profits are getting bigger and bigger. This just might be the best idea that the school has thought of. Now we don't have to stop at Starbucks or the gas station we can just go and get a cappichino from Commando Mug. I will say that I am hooked. Even there advertising is great. They put posters up that have Mr. Shelton, our principal, on them and they say "Mr. Shelton says: I got mine." It is really funny. This coffee idea is amazing!

Deal or No Deal: How Lucky Are You?

The new season of "Deal or No Deal" launched this week and is one of NBC's biggest hits (because it is on everynight). I have personally lost interest in this ridiculous show. The show has nothing to with skill. Luck is the only thing you need. The success of the show has something to do with the fact that no one has ever won the top prize. You have a 1 in 26 chance in winning so the odds are against you. It is the same thing to, the same music, OCD host, and girls. When you think about it even the people that play the game are the same. They are all excited, middle class people. The best part of the show is when people don't win the money and the banker pretty much cuts them off. So the question is Deal or Really Bad Deal?

The Man in the Krystal Window

-Tonight after work I decided to go to Krystal to get me a little something to eat. I had been at work all day and was really hungry. My order was taken I was told my order was $3.54 and to pull around. When I pulled around I was asked how my day was and I told the man that it had been ok. I asked him about his day out of habit and he told me he was a little tired and was ready to go home. He turned away, paused and then he turned back around and said that he was ready for God to bring him home. I still had my hand out where he had just taken my money. I didn't know what to say. After thinking for a second I said well we never know when it will happen. "I don't think it is going to be that much longer" he said. Once again, feeling a little uncomfortable I told him we never know.
-I was just hungry and wanted my food, he wanted never to be hungry again. To be so ready to leave this planet and go have faith that you will go to heaven is amazing. Even though our conversation was only about a minute, he has enlightened me and has shown me what is really important.

Pirate Day at HHS

One Month and Counting.

-Today marks one month until I turn 16! I am really excitied. So many things happen that I cant wait for. All's I have to say is Driver's License!!! I am so sick of having to hitch a ride from someone. Most of my good friends live on the other side of town and my grandmother doesnt like to make the trips back and forth so soon that won't be an issue. Every kid can't wait to turn 16. I am one of the older ones in my grade so it's gonna be cooling being able to say that im driving now. I have high hopes that I will be able to get tickets to the Frey concert which is on my birthday, the ultimate gift. I can't wait very happy.
-On a school note though, tomorrow I have a test in biology , with a mid-c in the class i can't afford a bad grade in there. I have studied for a while tonight and I can only pray that I do well.
-I accepted an offer to join the theatre group, nothing all that fancy. It is called Noah's Promise Players. It is a troup that goes around and does skits on drugs. I was going to try out last year but I missed the auditions. This adds another thing on to my work load but it won't take up much of my time because all the rehearsals are during school. I have never really been on stage with the acting thing before so I hope I will do alright, everyone else that is in it has before so maybe they will take me under there wings.
-HGI is this weekend. It is the band competition that my marching band does every year. There are 28 bands coming and that means over 4,000 people. It is one of the bigger competions in the state and we have a good reputation for putting a good competion. The part which scares everyone is the preformance we give at the end of the night in front of all the marchers, directors, and parents. It is the most people that we will preform for in our high school life. I am pumped for it though. I guess that is all for now.

5 Years Later... Do You Remember?

-September 11, 2001, two airplanes were crashed in to the World Trade Center, one was crashed into the Pentagon, and one was crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. This day changed most of lives if not mentaly then physical. Now, being the 5th anniversary this date is getting more attention. Today on CNN they ran a timeline on the side of the screen and on there broadband station the ran all the footage as it happened on that day. Should we really be paying such attention to such tragedy? We all know what happened, why must we relive it? I can understand a memoral of some sort today, but the disturction and all the negative really doesn't seem like the right thing. Every TV station and radio channel has talked non stopped about it. As a christian I feel that the ones who died are in a better place and all we can do is pray for the families that lost a loved one. When we focus on the negative we never see the positive.
-On a better note, my friend Lindsay Bates, is in the blogging world. The youth blogging community is growing.

The Season Begins

-Many things started this sunday, NFL, college ball started last week and the Marching Band season. They all relate, it's all done on the same field. On Saturday the Sumner County Exibtition took place. This marks our start of the season. All the high school bands in Sumner County participate. Now I realize that many of you think that marching band is a dorky thing and what not, but it is something that is a big part of my life. From July until October it is my rutine. It is a suportive group in which you are a part of something bigger than yourself. The group comes before you. People don't realize it but I would like to see anyone memorize music, play, know your spots on the field, and march at the same time, it's harder than it looks.
-Before we went on Saturday I took my section and we had a moment of prayer. We went around the circle and each prayed for something, most were for hiting all our moves and something to that effect but one's was different he asked that we all be blessed with his spirit and to preform for him. I realized that is what it is about. HIM!!!

HFUMC Youth Does Boat Church

Today some of the us (youth) went to a thing called boat church. It is in Mt. Juliet on the lake. It was a pretty good service but a little long. After we had a little cookout and then went and enjoyed the lake. We all went tubing and swimming and at the end of the day were worn out. I think that boat church should be a regular thing. Being outside and experiencing God's word is the best combonation. Thats my Sunday!!!

Big Game Even Bigger Loss

Hendersonville High School vs. Beech High School
Originally uploaded by gavoweb.

Last night was huge! The antisipation of this game was in the air, the hamburgers, bands, and the fans. We were all hoping that a win would fall to Hendersonville but everything turned the other way. Just a quick summary:
Hendersonville was down the whole game until the forth quarter when we scored with 38 seconds left. we went into overtime and ended up losing by interception. The Hendersonville side fell scilent and the Beech side went crazy. Our heads dropped and theres raised. What really showed there "great sportsmanship" was when they turned the sprinklers on our side of the field and soaking everone in its path. What a great end to a bad night.

First Week of School

So returning back to school has its ups and downs. You are glad to go back so you can see your friends check up on everyone but the rest isn't the best. I am pretty happy with my classes and am very happy to be a sophomore this year. It's nice to be able to know where everything is at and all that jazz. I am taking concert chours this semester which has turned out to be fun and really easy because im one of the only people in the class that knows music. English II Honors will turn out to be ok. The teacher is ok and I have a ton of friends in the class. Wind Ensemble is the same. Biology Honors is going to turn out to be a pain, I can already tell. Besides that school is well... school.

What a Surpise!

-Today is a very special day, my grandparents 50th wedding anniversary. For the past 2 months my mother has been planning a surpise party for them. The location, food, and everything inbetween had been thought of. We made up a story that my mom, sister, and I were going to Nashville Shores and my grandparents were going to go to Springfield with her brother and son. Her brother's wife had to drop of a fake bridal shower gift at my church (where the party was). When they walked in the look on there faces was priceless. They had no idea. The best part was the cutting of the cake. They did the move where you feed each other. They messed up. Today was an overall success!

Missing Out on the Mystery

-A lot of my friends from chruch went on a trip this weekend, known as Mystery Trip. This year it wasn't a mystery though. A certian some one named Kyle M. told the whole group ruining the fun of the whole mystery part. They went white water rafting which i bet was a blast. I decided to bow out of this one because I had already been gone for two weeks and couldn't think of another weekend away. This down time has been enjoyable even though spending a few days up in Lake Junaluska wasn't to hard either.
-My Grandparents 50th Anniversary is today and my family is throwing a suprise party for them. It should be a really good time. My mother has invited over a hundred people and my Grandparents still have no idea. I can't wait to see the look on there faces.
-I also go my class schedule this week. It is looking kind of challenging but still fun. ALL HONORS!!!
-Another fun thing on the agenda for this week is the every popular "Band Camp". I would like to inform you that it is nothing like what you think. Band Camp is held in front of the school and is not an overnight event. The most annoying part is when people drive by and honk or say, "This one time, at Band Camp". I still am amazed at how stupid some people are.

I know Its been forever

I know its been a month and I don't have a great excuse except I've been really busy. Ive been on a mission trip and right now im at Lake Junaluska. It its considered methodist holy ground. I will start with mission trip...
Mission trip started on July 15. We drove from Hendersonville Tn, to Long Beach, MS. It took around 9 hours to get there. We actually started work on Monday I helped put a roof on a house that was hurt buy Hurricane Katrina. It took us a week but we actually got it done. Other groups painted a house, did yard work, and rebuilt a porch. The whole Mississippi and Louisana culture is quite different and excited. we ventured down to New Orleans and checked out the scene. We saw Bourben Street and all the sites of that.
Lake Junaluska has been the typical church retreat. I am here on church buisness with my conference and it has been quite fun.
That is all for now talk later.
