On request, I'm going to try to find something interesting to talk about, other than philosophy. Red Barons don't seem to think much of it, though I've no idea about blue or green barons:)
So, here goes. I think most everyone has heard of the east-west issue, going both ways at once I mean. But has anyone ever heard of the South-North issue? While y'all think about that, I'll try and figure out an answer to it. Ah ha! Have you ever tried hanging of the bottom of a plane while taking off? Now most of you probably haven't(normally Red Barons are the only people with enough insanity to even think of doing something like that), but if you time it just right, I bet you could swing down just as the plane is going up, therefore, you would end up going South and North at the same time. Of course, an easier and safer way to do that would be to take JCPenny's idea and just turn ninety degrees to the left or right.
So now that I have discussed a kinda' interesting view of something, I can get back to daily life, please? Alright, I'll tell you about everything but school. How about, GLOBAL WARMING! Aughhhhhh! Everyone run! The planets about to blow up! Now how you would be able to run when the planet blows up, I don't know, go ask one of those people out there who actually thinks about that kind of stuff. Is that enough to think about for one day? I hope so.
About dinner time Annalee, I think Mary, and I are going to be going to Hannah Harris' house for pizza and swimming. Who wants to bet that I won't stay in the water for more than ten minutes? Well, we usually end up playing pretend games more than swimming, so I guess I won't have to worry THAT much about it. I wonder how Mary got her name? Not the Mary part, I know about that, but what about the "I think" part? I wonder. So many things to ponder, I think I'll just let it be for now, I don't want my brain to explode or anything. Maybe this would be a good time to post Garfield and Calvin and Hobbes.

Not much to say, though I have just about finished school now. That's nice. I'm not going to say much, because there isn't much to say, other than, it is now about 12 days to Al's B-day, and I still haven't gotten her anything. I also am not going to say much because there doesn't seem to be much going on out there, and a whole lot of people don't seem to have time to comment. What's the point of a blog if no one will comment? Ah well, I guess I'll just have to get on with life. Try and(if there is actually anyone out there) memorize some of the Spanish words, that's why I put them there, so you can use them. So the word( since I figured out that they repeat two words each day) is on the side bar as usual.
See y'all.

Mexico Trip Information
I can't think of much to tell all y'all today so, I think that I will proceed with a pet update. The cats are all doing fine, though Schafur gets louder every day, at least I think so. Beamer is heavy, as usual and Cyprise is fuzzy and purry, as usual. The gerbils seem to sleep more each day, and they chew a whole lot too. We think that Nathan, Petr's gerbil, either has something in his ear, or has gone partially blind in one eye. And that concludes todays pet update, now for some more computerized pet updates.

Personally, I think the pig tried to convince John to go to the prom, but he was to entranced with someone else, poor piggy.
I have nearly finished school now, I only have to do some reading in Genesis and I have to read the lesson in L.A. and, hey! It's only 10:20! I'll be finished before lunch time if I hurry! That would be really nice, don't you think?
You notice that I have been posting Spanish words for the last week or so, that's intentional. The reason that's intentional is because, Petr, Annalee and I are going to Mexico this Thanksgiving. I'm just hoping that if we do actually get to go, we'll be able to get back across the border. Pleas pray for us. You know, I could attempt to put the fund raising letter on here, once Aunt Susan checks it for us. That'll be in the next couple of days hopefully.
Anyhow, we'll be out there for about a week, staying at a hotel during the night and morning, and crossing the border after we eat breakfast. We will come back before dinner time and after lunch time, so we'll get to eat all together. We will be building houses for the people and painting them, we will also give them a Thanksgiving pinata and lunch.
I think that will be all for today, Adios( is that how you spell it?)Amigos!

I can't think of anything to say. So now what? I could tell you several things, if I wanted to. Annalee's trying to go around the room without touching the floor, the room being the playroom. Mary's suggesting that Annalee go over to the Sander's(our next door neighbors) and ask for one of their Baby Blues books. They have a whole lot of them, they also have several Zits books. Something else to say...... Annalee's B-day is in about 17 days now, and I haven't a clue what I'm going to get her. All I know is that she wants is a Webkinz, which is some sort of new thing going around. Apparently you get a stuffed animal with a code on it and then you go to the Webkinz web-site and type in the code, along with several other things. I have to finish school now, I've barely started my first thing and it's already 10:23 in the morning. SIGH. I guess I oughta start back on school now. See ya'.

Theme of "Call of the Wild"
I said yesterday that I was working on an essay about the theme in "The Call of the Wild". I decided that just because I could do it, that I would post it. Here it is.
Nature, as many would think of it, is beautiful, but to many it is as perilous as any a dragon of myth has been described. To Buck, the key character of Jack London's “The Call of the Wild”, nature is wild and had been calling him for many a day, therefore, it was dog against the wild call of nature.
In the beginning, Buck virtually ruled over his home in warm comfortable California. He didn't feel the need to leave, Buck lived a very contented life. “The dignity that comes of good living and universal respect, enabled him to carry himself in right royal fashion.” We saw that Buck did have a large amount of dignity, the kind of dignity that comes of living life like an aristocrat. Buck lived four long years in the lap of luxury at Judge Miller's place. He spent those four years growing into the country aristocrat that we saw at the beginning of Jack London's “The Call of the Wild”.
However, Buck was not to live this life forever. He was transported to the bitter and cold North, but before he got there, he fought a hard fight and learned a hard lesson from the Man in the Red Sweater. After that fight Buck had to learn how to survive winter in the North, which involved finding warmth and food. Buck learned these things from watching other dogs. Buck fought and killed Spitz, the lead dog, after Spitz stole a wild rabbit that Buck had been chasing. After that fight, “Buck was in open revolt. He wanted, not to escape a clubbing, but to have the leadership”. It soon became obvious to Francois and Perrault, the men who drove the dogs, that there was no other choice but to put Buck in the lead.
All this while, the Call had been sounding, and Buck had been dreaming about his ancestors, those dogs who had been friends of the cavemen. After John Thornton had become his master, Buck continually wandered off and would come back after hours, sometimes days. One time while wandering, Buck came across a herd of moose. The head bull tried to ward Buck off, but he continued to follow the herd, Buck was not after any calf, but the lead bull. After many days Buck got his kill and wandered back to John. Soon after Buck got his kill, John Thornton was killed by natives that found John and his camp. Buck came back from one of his wanderings to find the camp occupied by the natives, Buck unceremoniously drove them out of the camp. A pack of wolves wandered near by after night had fallen, and called out. Buck was ready to follow this time, “Man and the claims of man no longer bound him”.
Buck soon after claimed leadership over the wolves just as he had over the sled dogs. The Natives feared him and revered him. Nature had had it's victory.
There it is. I worked long and hard on it. I'll let that message sink in while I put the dailys up.

Now that I've done that, I can go find something constructive to do. Like read my book. Private thoughts, for Aunt Susan's eyes only! You know Aunt Susan that I like fantasy, right? Well for my B-day(this is just a thought now)I think I would like book two of the Eragon series, if you can find it. And Annalee wants a Webkinz for her B-day.
I think that that will conclude my blog post for today. Oh, yeah, I put those foreign words on the side bar.

Cavin and Hobbes Makes a Comeback
I have decided to to instead of Italian word that I will do a Spanish word until Thanksgiving, that's when I go to Mexico for those of you who don't know. I'm so happy that this time I won't have a cast on! Well just to forgo any more elated exclamations, here is Calvin and Hobbes(Petr says that I can put it on the side bar, but I don't think I want to).
http://www.ucomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2007/09/17/
I haven't looked at that particular comic yet, so I think I will just really fast. Thats an interesting one, I always wondered if Calvin knew what a hanger was, but I guess he doesn't. Now for Garfield.
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2007/ga070919.gif
I think this shows just what is going on in John's head, "if I can do something to make her happy, I'll do it". I also think that John watches too much football. But that's my opinion, if all you boys out there(Shadow, A.D.L.S.) like football don't agree with me, feel free to contradict me.
You know, I think I'll attempt to put those Spanish words on the side bar, if I can figure out how to. PETR!!! Oh well, he must be outside at the moment, I'll just have to figure it out on my own. I figured it out! Yippee! I am sssoooo smart, aren't I. Now to make sure that it worked. It worked! Look under "Family of Red" for those foreign words.
Can you believe it? I read through Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde without puking! Please, please, hold your applause, I have to read Twelfth Night now and I've only gotten through the first act. Shakespeare was always hard for me to understand. Well I've got to get back to writing that essay, so, write to y'all later.

Who wants to know?
H0w to start. Have any of you never had no idea how to start off a post? This is a first for me, seeing as I haven't been writing for as long as anyone else. Well I guess that will have to do for an introduction, of some sort. Now what? I've finished TRK and I'm now working on the appendices, it took me an hour just to read three or four paragraphs of names. It's kinda tedious, but I'm expecting that it'll get better as I go on. Of course I still don't know what to write about now. My typing has improved! Is that exciting? I didn't think so. Todays been just about the same as every other day, except that I get to write a different kind of essay, one about the theme in The Call of the Wild. I'm not quite clear on what I'm supposed to be writing, but I'm sure that I'll get through it. Oh, yeah heres the daily.
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2007/ga070918.gif
I guess I'll put a Scripture in here too.
13. Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14. Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
- Isaiah 29:13
Now what about that word of the day. Should I? Na. I'll just do that Italian word thing.
You know, I think I just might do instead of, or just in here somewhere, the Calvin and Hobbes comics in here. That might be interesting. Remind me to do it tomorrow.
Now what? I guess that that will have to do for today, I'm hungry. I'm going to go eat lunch. See y'all.

Which One?
OK all, I have now made it that I don't have to moderate comments anymore, so if you comment, it should appear somewhere on the comment page. On the down side, you have to do that weird word verification thing, so you'll have to be able to read to comment. Here's the daily Garfield. Hope you enjoy.
http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ga/2007/ga070916.gif
Now that I've done that, I'd like to say that: I'm sorry that I hadn't moderated comments in a while, and I'm glad that someone did comment, even if it wasn't on my last two posts.
Well, here I am, back from church, and I have basically nothing to do but play computer and read T.R.K. Is that right? I can never remember anything like that. I have now gotten past the ring being put into the mountain, Orodruin, or some other name. It would be commonly known as the Mount Doom. Cheerful name, isn't it? Back to the ring, it was actually more danced in then thrown in, they got at least that right in the movie. I've read now to the begging of the feast, I don't know who it was for or from, though I'm assuming that Aragorn payed for most of it.
Who knows what I'm going to way next? Well, it's definitely not going to be anything about school that's for sure. At least, I think that's sure. Can anyone come up with anything maybe more interesting than Garfield for a daily post? I was thinking maybe a word of the day, or something like that, but I don't know. I'll think about it. Ah! I'll do a Bible verse of the day! I'm pretty sure that Google has one of those, be back. I'm back, and here's the verse.
His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
- Matthew 25:21
There it is. Do you like it? I think I'll try several other things to, just sec.
Jumbo = Enorme (09-16-07)
Basic = Básico (09-14-07)
There is a Spanish word of the day, I'll try an Italian one too, just for the fun of it.
How bout' that? I actually copied three, no, four things from my Google page and put them on here. Isn't that amazing. Now don't you think that I'm taking back what I said about computers being complicated, they still are. I just figured out how to do some stuff on it. Please tell me if you like one of these things so that I can start posting them regularly. I think that will be all for now, bye.

Is There Anyone Out There??!!
I don't really know why I post on a daily basis(that excludes Saturday and Sunday). I mean, I haven't had a comment for TWO DAYS! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!! Well I guess that I'll just have to get on with life. If anyone had noticed though, I added some links to my blog so that you can look at other peoples blogs. I think that I'm going to find something interesting to update from time to time, other than just writing.

Title?
Can you believe it?! I actually finished school before lunch! If that isn't amazing I don't know what is. I did reading, physical science, math, and L.A. before it was 11:00. Cool.
Alright, time for the report on, um, how do you say it? T.T.T.? Well, however y'all put it( I love that word) I've gotten to the Forbidden Pool. Frodo and Sam had leaned of Boromir's death. I can't think of any other important parts. So thats it for that.
Peter and I just finished blowing after we had mowed since about 8:30 or so, actually I only mowed for about an hour and I didn't start at 8:30. Peter and Andrew have been mowing all morning. That better? I suppose so. I could attempt to put my paper on here. It's about the kind of narration that Jack London used in the Call of the Wild. OK, be right back.

That better? I suppose so. I could attempt to put my paper on here. It's about the kind of narration that Jack London used in the Call of the Wild. OK, be right back.
Jack London used narration in his book, The Call of the Wild to bring the readers directly into the action, and to show them what life was like during the Klondike gold rush for the sled dogs that were used by the seekers of the yellow metal.
The story of Jack London's The Call of the Wild is told by the key character of the story. London used Limited Narration in this book. Limited narration uses that person or animal to tell directly what that person or animal thinks of his surroundings, his friends, and many other things. This kind of narration can also tell us what that person or animal is feeling, things such as temperature, terrain and hunger.
And Buck, the main character of The Call of the Wild, is no stranger to hunger. London used Buck to tell the story in a straight forward heads on way, so that we can know exactly what Buck is thinking, feeling, seeing, and smelling. In the use of Buck as narrator, London tells us what Buck is like, and his experiences in the cold and frigid North.
In the North is where Buck started the hard and punishing life of being a sled dog, though he used to be a virtual king of his old home in California. In using Limited Narration London brings the reader into Buck's mind. This kind of narration is appropriately used in this book because without knowing what Buck is thinking and feeling, the reader would not know what is happening.
Limited narration affects London's story in the way that lighting a candle gives light and heat to the area around it. Without this kind of narration the story would not be able to go anywhere. If the story didn't go anywhere, what would be the point in reading the book? Without Buck as narrator the reader would not be able to read the book in a clear way.
Jack London has used Limited Narration in brilliant way to tell the story of Buck. London also shows us his world view in a way that makes it an interesting read, and a book worth reading.
How do ya' like it? I didn't have to work to enormously hard on it, quite thankfully. Now that you've all seen that you're just gonna' have to comment, it took me a little to remember how to do that.
Please please please comment! Yours truly

School Isn't Always that Bad
Yes Shadow, I said that school isn't always that bad, and I mean it!
School hasn't been to hard on me today, thankfully. I still have my three hardest things to do, but I think that they won't be very hard. I have to write an outline for L. A., I have to start and finish physical science and math, and I have to eat lunch. Speaking of lunch, I'm starving. I'm most likely going to end up eating a P.B. and J. sandwich and a kiwi, possibly some chips and kooliad. Did I spell that right? I don't think I did. Let me try again, Koolaid. Thats a little better. Whats for lunch out there? Or should I say up there? Seeing as most of y'all that read this blog are either in Oklahoma of Dallas somewhere. Well, I take that back, I do occasionally get a comment from Hopper.
Right now I have to write on this blog(like a maniac?), and finish L.A. at least before I can get lunch. That means that I can't read T.T.T. for another twenty to thirty minutes, grump. I lost the book last night, so I started to read T.R.K., I think thats how you would put it. Is that right? I guess it is, so anyway, I started to read T.R.K. last night, but I didn't get very far. Just about a chapter. On T.T.T. I've gotten to the chapter "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit." It's kinda' funny how Tolkien arranges his book, with the Fellowship first and then Frodo and Sam. The fellowship being whats left of it, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Gandalf the White. The computer must not like those names, it says that every one of them is misspelled! Humph! I don't have much else to say about reading, so thats it for my book report thingy.
I learned today, besides that I'm hungry, what Monarchianists teach, and how that is wrong. I also had to figure out how to spell Monarchianists, thats a very difficult word to spell you know. The basic idea behind Monarchianism is that only one of the three persons of the Godhead could really be "King". I was learning about the trinity this morning. I've been going through a Catechism study guide and I've had to answer on an average about twelve to thirteen questions per week.
I can't think of anything else to say, and besides I have to finish L.A. and eat lunch, so See y'all

School hasn't been to hard on me today, thankfully. I still have my three hardest things to do, but I think that they won't be very hard. I have to write an outline for L. A., I have to start and finish physical science and math, and I have to eat lunch. Speaking of lunch, I'm starving. I'm most likely going to end up eating a P.B. and J. sandwich and a kiwi, possibly some chips and kooliad. Did I spell that right? I don't think I did. Let me try again, Koolaid. Thats a little better. Whats for lunch out there? Or should I say up there? Seeing as most of y'all that read this blog are either in Oklahoma of Dallas somewhere.

Very Serious Post(I think)
Some days I just don't see the point in doing anything, what with life making everything a mess. And then I remember that I have other things to do, like reading, and praying and things like that, and I just decide to take a break from life for a while. I also remember that I have this thing called a blog that I need to post on, and I end up sitting here writing like a maniac, just to keep people commenting, and to remind me that there are other horrors in the world worse than the ones I endure(school and what not).
About that paper that I was writing yesterday, I might attempt to post it but I also might decide to post some other paper that I have written in the past, I don't know. But the important part is that I got it done and ate dinner last night. I also got desert last night, chocolate ice cream, thats Dutch Chocolate ice cream to you. I love Blue Bell.
Today has been awful busy, and rather grisly. I read in Flames of Rome(some book I have to read for school) about Nero's persecution of the Christians, and I have had to endure a rather daunting looking list that I got kind of annoyed at( I'm not going to tell you what happened to the list, though I had to resurrect it later). I also found out that I have the privilege(not!) of reading Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for school also. BLAH! Sorry for people that like that sort of book, though I can't imagine the kind of person who could like that kind of book. But, hey, at least I spelled their names right! Right? Well at least I don't have to read Frankenstein, do I? I hope not.
I need to get back to awful daunting school now. Nuts! You mean I can't just sit here all day writing like a maniac for all those people who read my blog?! Thats too bad. That I can't write maniacally for y'all. Ah, well. I guess that I'll just have to write for y'all tomorrow. Bye.

Not Much
Y'ello all. Not much happenin' today. Just a bunch of scouty brothers getting ready to go to some scout camp out. And in case your wondering, no scouty is not a word, it's just some sort of figment of my imagination.
I have no gotten to the siege of Isengard, or at least the retelling of it. If those of you who have read the book(The Two Towers, by J.R.R. Tolkien) will remember, it was retold by a couple of furry headed and footed strange little creatures called hobbits, other wise know as Halflings. Now that you have had my daily update on reading, Maybe I'll think of something interesting to say. Not.
Geometry is steadily getting harder, I did circles today, and I didn't like it very much. I'm also working L. A.(Literary Analysis). Currently I should be writing an essay about the world view of Harry Potter, but I decided that I wanted a break, so here I am! I currently have one paragraph written, but I have to have a whole page written before dinner! How am I ever going to do it? I guess y'all will have to bear with me while I pour out my woes on y'all. Thanks, by the way. I can't think of anything else to say so that will be it for today.
Bye

Does "Um"Mean Long Pause or Short Pause?
Not much going on around here right now. I found out that I have tendinitis last night! Well, I guess thats not as bad as it could be, I mean I could have broken another bone. Thankfully I didn't, so miss elfy aunt out there will just have to bear not being able to cry over her dwarfy little niece(no offense meant Arwen).
Funny thing it is, I finished Fellowship of the Ring a couple of days ago, and I'm on to two towers now. I've gotten to the siege of Helm's Deep, and it's definitely different from the movie, in a whole lot of ways. For instance, Gandalf brought Erkenbrand not Eomer. And it wasn't Theoden's choice to go to Helm's Deep, Gandalf told him to go there. Sigh, the way they mess things up in the movies. Well, now since I did a paper on a book last week, I'm going to right a paper on a movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Hey! Did I spell that right? I must have, because there isn't one of those little red squiggly lines underneath it(it being the word sorcerer's). Cool. I wonder how that paper is going to be like. Apparently I'm going to be trying to figure out what sort of world view Harry and his friends have. Weird.
I'm starting to go dry on ideas, so I'm going to start just randomly spurting out things about school. Right now, at this moment in time,I've been counting for Mary because she and Annalee are playing a very loud and disturbing game of hide-and-seek(SCREAM! SCREAM! Shriek).
Geometry isn't as hard as I thought it would be, you know? It's mostly memorizing a bunch of shapes and stuff, so far. Mary just came up with another rule for their hide-and-seek game, no hiding in the girls bathroom. Probably because it doesn't have any outside windows, so it's rather dark in there.
I haven't started that poetry book yet, I wonder when we're going to start it. No idea. Um.. Oh! A couple of days ago I was listening to N.P.R. and I heard this article on "ums" and "uhs". Apparently, if you say "uh" that means that there will be a short pause. If you say "um" that means that there will be a longer pause. Or is that backwards? I don't remember.
Well, I have to get back to school work(blah!), so Hosta La Vista all!

Life is Miserable
I need help. I have this essay thing that I have to have a rough draft of today and I can't even come up with a first word, much less a whole page! I also have to do two, let me say that again TWO experiments that, and reading, and who knows what else! My life had become miserable in less than fifteen minutes. What am I supposed to do?! I guess I'll just to reading, since that seems the least stressful right now. I only have five books in which I only have to read at least three chapters in. And how has your day been? Most likely more miserable than mine, at least for those who are in college and what not.
Now that I have got some of that miserableness out of my system maybe I can type a little more cheerfully. I doubt it. Ah well, thats the everyday normal life for you, always either boring or hard. Is miserableness a word? maybe I should look that up in a dictionary, when I have the time. I don't have much time today so that will have to satisfy all y'all for right now. I like that word(if it is a word), y'all, it has a nice east Texan ring to it. See all y'all later.

Remember, Remember
By popular demand (one vote) I have titled my last post "Now What?".
Now, since I promised to write about Sunday school, and I didn't write about it yesterday, I will now write about it, if I can remember about it. We went out on a branch today because our pastor was out of town, and we had a guest pastor. So here goes. Um........ I think it was about different types of theology. I think. OK, thats all that I can think about right now, so if I suddenly remember something important in the middle of writing y'all have to bear with me, OK? Good.
Onto more things long forgotten, like reading Fellowship of the Ring for the second time after about three years. Has anyone else read that book lately? I'm planning to read all of the books in the next month or so, so y'all might receive occasional updates on it. So far I have gotten to Lothlorien and , uh, how do you put that accent mark thingy on it? Anyhow I've gotten as far as Galadriel's Mirror. Silly computer, it thinks that Galadriel is spelled wrong! Ah well, as I have said before, computers are very complicated.
Now for the best news. IT'S LABOR DAY!!!!!! And you know what that means, NO SCHOOL!! Whoopee, run around in circles screaming for joy! Oh, wait, I forgot, Shadow likes school. I'm soooo sorry that you have to miss school Shadow, at least the rest of us can have fun! Our Aunt Susan is leaving after lunch though, so I'm a little sad. But now I can have fun all day!
Has anyone done it yet? September 1st was, yesterday? Well, just in case no one has done it yet, WHITE RABBIT!!!!!!
Now thats done with and I still can't think about what Sunday school was about, so this is farewell for now,
Farewell
