Some of you know I have been gearing this site up For my Christmas and thanksgiving events. Trouble is they are not gonna happen. See this year I'm doing something slightly differant.
like moving. to whole new blog. That's right, this blog is not going to be my main blog anymore as I got a new one. Me and Kindy are going to be posting together, and I'll keep this one around for my stories, and other guy stuff.
If you want to see me and Kindy's co-blog http://ttibw.blogspot.com/ The Truth In Black & White is a new blog for the two of us to post what is going on in our lives, and for us to discuss courtship related matters. When Kindy gets back on Sunday the blog will officially launch.
See you there.

Keep moving forward
Nothing is so frustrating as waiting. It can be easy to quit when you have to wait on something, and that's why God makes us wait. When we want to take the easy way out, he gives us another challenge.
I have been in a waiting cycle in my life for a while. I hate waiting as much as anyone so it has been easy to say I quit, but still I keep coming back to the fact that there is no easy way through life, and if God wants us to wait, then we wait, not that we sit around doing nothing, but we prepare for what he wants us to do. I have been studying my bible more than I ever have, and trying to figure out my math. I also have been trying to fine tune my writing skills.
Unlike so many other times in my life though, I actually see the end of my waiting cycle this time. I am moving forward, and I hope that I will be ready when I do move forward.
I just wonder how many others here are caught in a waiting period, and frustrated that nothing seems to happen?

Facebook's real nemesis
Ok, I would like to say, my first attempt at the social media world was Twitter. I liked that it gave me away to update the world on what I was up to without writing a huge blog post, but it was very limited, and eventually I got frustrated and left it behind.
My second time in was Google Buzz. Immediately when I got into buzz I noticed two things: One it had way fewer limitations, and Two it integrated seamlessly into my existing lifestyle because I already use Gmail, Blogger, Picasa, YouTube, and many other Google services. I immediately found some of my friends though my Gmail contacts, and then found a few that they chatted with. Gmail also was built in as the private messaging system for Buzz though a robust email service, and Gtalk integration was a nice bonus.
I was happy with this, and probably wouldn't have done anything else, but Kindy talked me into joining Facebook. As you all know Facebook is the king of Social media. They have chat, private messaging, they invented the wall, and also have integration into many services. It was powerful, it was clean, it was boring.
Seriously, I learned there was one thing about Facebook I truly hated, it's bland boring 1990's style web page. It was possibly the ugliest thing I have seen on the internet in a long time. Even Twitter allowed you to add a custom background, but this was just white and blue.
To add insult to injury, it was harder to find my friends on FB. See unlike Buzz where I could look through my contacts, FB had no such robust feature set, it's friend finder was powerful, but it didn't help me find the people I wanted to find, so in the end it was useless.
FB also has games, which at first seem really cool, but I quickly learned they were more of a nuisance than fun. I get tired of 95% of my news feed being about what my friends and family are doing on Farmville. And the Integration into my Google services are weaker than Buzz.
Now I find myself back to Buzz mostly, I still do some stuff on my FB, but I find Buzz is easier, more robust, MORE social, and just friendlier. I can more easily control who sees my posts, and who doesn't, I can choose whether a Follower gets into my chat contacts, and same with other buzz users. It essentially allows me to control my privacy better than I would normally be able to.
The truth is I suspect I am not the only one. Buzz is more private and closed to my friends. I can control who sees what, and I can feel more like I am in a tight circle of friends, and less like I am on public display in a crowd on people, trying to find someone I know.
It will take a while, but I think that Buzz will in the end win out over Facebook.

Recall notice
Ok everyone, I was supposed to have a great series of posts this week, but I got lazy and did not finish them, so while I play catch-up I have to get something up right?
Well Considering I do not have much going on, I will have to just ramble on here. I got the talk to my Girlfriend yesterday, and we had a great chat. The Packers (GO PACK!) ripped right through the Deadbeat Bills yesterday, so I got both of my Positives. I just ate a bag of vanilla cream sandwich cookies by (looks at bag) Frito Lay. I have been enjoying an old MMO but newly free to play known as Lord of The Rings Online. I am enjoying it quite a bit, so if any of you ever want to download it and play it, my name is Jingard, and I play on the Meneldor server.
Tired of me rambling yet? TOO BAD! This is my blog and I can do whatever stupid things I want to do with it.
I'm tired of rambling.
Now I will share four completely different songs that have nothing in common other than I like them.

Warning, this post has no previous thought put into it. Unedited thoughts may cause Brain explosions, or dizziness; do not operate heavy machinery for at least 8 hours after use.
Ok I need to get a post up, and I don't have much to say, so I am going to say as much as I can.
Bad Idea, I know.
Ok let's get started. The local Wal-Mart has been undergoing MASSIVE changes. They repainted the intirior, rearranged the whole store, and made everything more streamlined. The only problem I have seen is that: We can't find anything. Now they have done a lot to improve the place, they have taken out unattractive displays, and replaced them with new nicer ones. They brightened up the whole store so that it is warmer and friendlier. They have been installing more cashiers at the front so that there are speedier checkouts, and they have been relocating sections to places that make sense.
We just wish we could find them.
I had my birthday already as many of you know. We held the party the day before, and we went to see "How to Train Your Dragon" Which I must say was incredibly cute, bu like everyone else: I hated the romance, it almost wrecked the movie.
I also got the new FireFlight album, and I got WipEout Fusion, and then after that I got a bunch of clothing.
The WipEout Fusion reminds me, I will now torture you people with videos of the most insanely fast game EVER made. F Zero GX
This game had what every other sci-fi racer wished it had. This game was pure raw Energy, and the courses were insane. the one I just showed you there was an easy course. This game did not however just stop with fun courses to drive, they were also insanely cool to look at too. When you are in Aeropolis you have those clean whites and blues. When you are in The lightning storm, You have a brown electrified track with massive lighting going on all around. When you step into the Fire Field you are on a track suspended over a pit of magma, and there are huge flares shooting up and dancing all around you.
No track ever was boring, and not track looked or played exactly the same. This game made you cringe, jump and tense up over some insanely tight turns.
I would like to go one record as having said: This game is not easy. the first sets of tracks can be completed by anyone, but anything above Emerald cup is insane. Especially on higher difficulty levels. I have unlocked all the tracks, but I assure you, if you are not a major gamer, then don't count on getting those tracks.
It is football season, and I am am gonna be doing Fantasy football this year. I never have done it before, but I am doing two teams: one will be played by making careful decisions, and deciding who to go with, and the other is going to be making random choices. This is happening because I made a comment that a monkey with a dart board would probably beat all the fantasy players out there.
I have run out of things to talk about, and this should keep you all busy until I DO think of something.

Well that makes sense
You know, sometimes I am just baffled by logic in stores.
Ok actually, I have never been baffled by logic, but i have been baffled by immense stupidity, and that is what I am going to share with you today.
About a year ago, or tub knobs broke and we had to replace them in a hurry, so we did an emergency run to home depot, and couldn't find them. They weren't with the faucets, with plumbing, or the tubs. finally we gave up and asked someone....
he instructed us four isles down with the toilets. Shoulda known.
Now sometimes I understand thing getting stuck in an odd location when you are running out of space, but who in the world is going to go look at toilets to find bathtub knobs?
Well, Lowe's knew better. We went there yesterday because our knobs broke again. (I think we have gremlins) Anyway, we decided to go to Lowe's this time because we just prefer them. Again, I was lost. we tried everywhere, even the toilets and couldn't find anything. we were about to give up and go to home depot when momma asked someone..... and was pointed to outdoor plumbing.
now I really want to see the idiot who would put their indoor tub in their front yard. This is about on the level of sticking your kitchen sink.... not in the kitchen, but out in your garage.
I fail to see logic in either.
well now we know where to find them, and we need to replace a kitchen faucet soon. I think we will try the lumber section first.
I mean, it makes about as much sense as the others did.

back from my long break
as you all know I vanished from my blog. Well I am back with a variety of things of talk about, but not sure how to say them. I have been spending most of my time lately working on improving my computer, and writing. I also have been checking out loads of trailers.
Because I have been checking out trailers, I am going to show you the trailers for all three Narnia movies, and let you decide which had the best trailer.
Personally i like the Prince Caspian trailer the best.
I'll post more soon.

The unmarried Teenager's five rules for a happy Marriage
I have not posted in a long time. I have been writing and dealing with real life more. I also have been playing some video games.
Ok now to the blog post. I have noticed that there are a lot of marriage tip books, and they all are rather similar. They also are generally written by singles, or divorced people. So I have decided to jump on the bandwagon, and write..... a pamphlet because I do not have the patience to write the book, so here are your five tips for a happy marriage that you won't find in any other book.
1. Don't hate your spouse.
this I think is fairly clear, if you hate them you are likely to not get along with them. I know this may sound stupid: "Why would someone marry someone they hate?" I am going to say that it is mostly because people are selfish. Get off your rear end and help out.
2. Don't blow up their car.
I must stress this. If you blow up their car, they might wind up dead, and the marriage will definitely have a hard time succeeding. Even if you lucked out and they turned into a zombie.... Zombies are generally not well received at family reunions. Some restaurants also do not allow them. not to mention your spouse might get hungry and eat your brain.
3. Don't kill their pets.
The big ole' Lab dug up your garden, or the cat broke your new GPS? the simplest solution would be to shoot the animal, but that might make your spouse mad. Possibly even hostile. Pets are like dumb ugly smelly children that never learn any better, and you are not quite as affectionate towards. Ok so the personal attatchment ma not be that strong, but still.
(On the other hand if the animal takes to attacking your kids then it is generally acceptable to make them vanish mysteriously)
4. Don't blow up the neighbor's house.
Tired of hearing that awful reggae music cranked up to the point that your coffee is on the ceiling, and the windows are all broken? Some people may talk to their neighbors, but you are special, you take a pack of plutonium and stuff it in their windowsill. A few seconds later you blow up the house. (And if it really was a nuke, you also blew up the neighborhood including yourself) This will land you in jail, and make your spouse look bad too. No one want to look bad, and therefor you will have strained your relationship.
5. don't be a psychopath
read the above.
I hope that these carefully thought out issues that plague today's society may help someone in this world. If you think this guide will help anyone you know, please pass i on.

as you may have noticed I have been doing....
Spider-Man reviews. I was doing them to keep from getting bored, but the problem was.... I got bored. Well now you know that I like the really old one, but not the slightly newer ones.
Basicly I had four more, but to simplify things I will just give my ratings for them,a nd move on with life.
Spider-Man 2 for PS2 7.5/10
Ultimate Spider-Man (all platforms) 8.5/10
Spider-Man 3 PC/PS#/Xbox 360 5/10
Spider-Man Web of Shadows PC/PS3/Xbox 360 9.5/10
Ok all done. I may eventually give a review for that last game because I love it, but I am done with reviews for now.
Now on to my life. My life has been hectic. Between arguments over religion, politics, and whether or not older members need their own section; then there was a cottonmouth in our yard, and my best friend is gone for two weeks.
A lot of good has happened too. I got three new games. I found a free copy of another game i dearly loved, and I have been catching up rapidly on school.
So now I am going to let you all debate this subject: Which is more likely to happen?
A: Finding a field of gold, or
B. Illegal Aliens launching them selves into Canada via a rocket.

Are we there yet?
Sorry i have not been posting lately. Between managing Inklings, getting caught up and finished with school, and throwing myself down a virtual mountain at roughly 75MPH, I have been quite busy.
I got a game that came out a few years back, but i never bothered trying till now. SSX3. Me and my sis have been having loads of fun snowboarding while doing insanely impossible tricks, and riding through insanely impossible terrain. If you have never played it I strongly suggest picking up a copy and trying it.
I have dropped working on my latest book for now. It is frustrating me, and I seriously need to finish school.
Supposedly i am getting another game today. ATV off road fury 3. Should be fun. I willl probably continue to blog, but probably not every day.

Second post today, look below for the other.
I had a crazy school assignment: Take two books, write down 5 sentences from each, and use at least 6 of them in a short 1 or 2 page story. These are the books and sentences:
Saving the World and Other Extreme Sports:
Used - I crossed my arms as Fang and I instinctively moved between the whitecoat and the rest of the flock.
Used - “And then everyone starts eating beef jerky,” Nudge suggested.
Used - She knew we were way, way up the creek, and that I had no plan, and that we had no hope.
Used - Pink patches flared on her cheeks, and she stepped back.
Used - Fang and I exchanged looks, and we rolled our eyes.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader:
The children didn't meet anyone whom they knew; the prisoners were mostly Galmians and Terebinthians.
Used - Meanwhile Caspian was having a much more interesting time.
Used - Lucy looked away after a few minutes because she was dazzled by the beauty of the other Lucy; though she could still see a sort of likeness to herself in that beautiful face.
Used - She became horribly afraid and turned over the page at once.
Used - But here part of the magic of the Book came into play.
And this is the result.
Lucy and the Ducks.
I crossed my arms as Fang and I instinctively moved between the whitecoat and the rest of the flock. I hated when these scientists came to my farm, My dog, Fang, was especially protective of the ducks. This scientist name was Lucy. Her hair was a slight mess, but over all she was pretty. I did not care how pretty she was though; she was not getting my birds.
I must explain myself here though, most farmers do not own talking ducks. I do, I breed them carefully for their range of vocal capabilities, and over these years I had finally developed fully functional vocal cord for talking, and these pesky scientists wanted them to pick apart dissect and study. I was not about to give them up just yet.
“The answer is no.” I said.
I stood there wondering where Caspian was, he was always off doing something crazy or other. I looked Lucy in the eyes. “You may come inside and we will discuss things, but my answer will invariably be no.”
“That would be nice to at least talk, I have driven for two days to get out here.” Lacy said. I rolled my eyes, and walked toward the old home. I opened the rickety front door to the all wood building. Lucy took a seat on the checkered couch. I went into the kitchen and got myself, and Lucy some tea.
Lucy was in the next room flipping through a book. I looked over and smiled.
Caspian was the inventor of our crew, and he made that book to freak anyone who read it. Lucy was only at the begging, and I was worried it would not start working. But here part of the magic of the Book came into play. She flipped the page and lights started glowing off her face. She gasped. She became horribly afraid and turned over the page at once.
I smiled as I walked into the room. I handed her a cup of tea. She took it but looked into the page with a slight horror written on her face. I looked down on the page and realized she reached the distorted mirror part. In it was a Lucy similar to the one before me, but far more beautiful and terrible. Lucy looked away after a few minutes because she was dazzled by the beauty of the other Lucy; though she could still see a sort of likeness to herself in that beautiful face. I reached over and closed the book.
“Caspian made that.” I explained. “He is good with his hands.”
“I can see.” An obviously rattled Lucy said.
“You wanted to discuss the ducks?” I said, wanting to get this over with.
“Yes, I am prepared to hand over five million for the ducks, and the right to study them.” Lucy said.
“No.” I said.
“They told me you would say that.” Lucy sighed.
“I meant no, I am willing to let you go out and see them.” I said, and tossed a bone to Fang.
She smiled, and I stood up. I shoved the lever that opened the door, and walked outside. I was incredibly bored and frustrated with this whitecoat.
Meanwhile Caspian was having a much more interesting time. I just knew it. He always was having fun. He created all kinds of crazy inventions.
I reached the pen, and the ducks all came a running, and were jabbering about nothing in particular. There were a few that I liked in particular, such as Daffy, Or Donald, but the one that ruled over them all was Nudge. I loved Nudge the best because she picked up mostly insults, and snide remarks, making her one of the funniest around strangers.
“The ducks need feeding darling.” One of them shouted. I laughed and grabbed the feed bucket. Me and Lucy stepped inside. She seemed both amazed and stunned. I started feeding them, and heard a bunch of “thank yous” and a few “Whatevers” But Nudge stayed out and looked at Lucy.
“And then everyone starts eating beef jerky,” Nudge suggested.
Lucy looked at Nudge in shock. Pink patches flared on her cheeks, and she stepped back.
“This is amazing.” Lucy said. “You must let us study them.”
“No.” I said yet again.
The most unexpected thing happened next. Fang ran out barking, and I heard a loud machine. I twirled around, and saw Caspian riding a rocket tractor. I screamed as he leaped off.
“Bad news!” Nudge squawked, and the tractor smashed through the fence before coming to a halt. Many of the ducks started flapping and quacking like mad, and I swore I heard a cuss word coming from Nudge. I would have to deal with that later though. Ducks were escaping through the hole in the fence and heading for the creek.
“Get them Caspian!” I yelled. We ran after them, but it was Lucy who did the sensible thing and grabbed an old door laying against the house and blocked the hole with it. I ran after Daffy who was the furthest ahead, but he made it to the creek first. I ran to the dock and shoved the raft into the water. Lucy came up from behind and hopped onto the raft as well. The rains from the day before were causing the creek to run really fast we headed for Daffy as fast as we could. Caspian was screaming from up above. I pulled out a net attached to the raft, and handed it to Lucy. She tried to reach for the duck. I used the rod to steer the raft.
She grabbed Daffy. I heard Fang barking from above. I suddenly realized we were going to too fast. Caspian appeared to be riding his rocket tractor. I looked at Lucy.
“We will get out of this.” I said. But one look from her eyes told me everything. She knew we were way, way up the creek, and that I had no plan, and that we had no hope. I refused to give up on hope though, and looked ahead at Caspian. The water was rushing around and bucking us. I tried to stay calm, but it was not easy. I suddenly jabbed the rod down hard, and tried to slow us down.
The rod snapped though.
I looked up at Caspian, who threw out a net. The raft caught up in it. I braced for the impact, but Lucy smashed her head against the raft as it came to a halt. Caspian held on surprisingly and started to pull us out. I was grateful for his recent workouts now. We reached dry land, and I got out. Daffy was safe. I was soaked, and Lucy was screaming still.
“You people are crazy!” She yelled. She stormed away for her truck, and I smiled.
“You people will not be hearing from me again” She yelled.
Fang and I exchanged looks, and we rolled our eyes. I paused, and realized that a dog just rolled its eyes. I looked at Caspian, and he shrugged.
“Guess we need to build a new fence.” He said. I smiled and walked back towards home.

And this is the result.
Lucy and the Ducks.
I crossed my arms as Fang and I instinctively moved between the whitecoat and the rest of the flock. I hated when these scientists came to my farm, My dog, Fang, was especially protective of the ducks. This scientist name was Lucy. Her hair was a slight mess, but over all she was pretty. I did not care how pretty she was though; she was not getting my birds.
I must explain myself here though, most farmers do not own talking ducks. I do, I breed them carefully for their range of vocal capabilities, and over these years I had finally developed fully functional vocal cord for talking, and these pesky scientists wanted them to pick apart dissect and study. I was not about to give them up just yet.
“The answer is no.” I said.
I stood there wondering where Caspian was, he was always off doing something crazy or other. I looked Lucy in the eyes. “You may come inside and we will discuss things, but my answer will invariably be no.”
“That would be nice to at least talk, I have driven for two days to get out here.” Lacy said. I rolled my eyes, and walked toward the old home. I opened the rickety front door to the all wood building. Lucy took a seat on the checkered couch. I went into the kitchen and got myself, and Lucy some tea.
Lucy was in the next room flipping through a book. I looked over and smiled.
Caspian was the inventor of our crew, and he made that book to freak anyone who read it. Lucy was only at the begging, and I was worried it would not start working. But here part of the magic of the Book came into play. She flipped the page and lights started glowing off her face. She gasped. She became horribly afraid and turned over the page at once.

By the time you recieve this, it may be too late.
At 11;28 my family returned from the comic book store. they came back with comic books, bags, and screaming glow in the dark monkeys.
This is going to be a very looooooong day. My Momma is planning a tour around the city taking pictures of this er Woot the Monkey with landmarks. I am already looking into the cost of earplugs and a two week vacation.
If any of you have like free two way tickets to Alaska, send them to me now.
However by the time they get here.
it may be too late.

I'm bored
I have been bored out of my mind today. I get like that sometimes, and this is one of those times. I reached my daily word quota, and I have played with my brother, and NOTHING feels exciting.
So here is my plan: I am going to redesign our back yard. with any luck I can implement my plan for roughly around $100. I am planning on getting info as to how to put a pool out there (above ground, we already own it, but we have an evil dog, and the ground is uneven)
I also plan to for the first time in my life: own a current gen console. whether that is the PS3 or the Wii I have not entirely decided, but I am leaning towards the PS3.
Furthermore I plan to get us a table and grill for outside. The grill may push me over the edge, but it would be well worth it.
Well I will probably keep planning this till I get distracted. ooh a duck.

Got the PS2
I got a PS2 last night, and we installed it in the living room. At first everything was going well, but then we started playing our classic PS1 titles, aaaaaaand it came up with disc read error after disk read error.
Flash was upset because his games are all PS1 titles and we were hoping this system would fix the problems he had been having. Me being a computer geek and proud of the fact that I fixed a PS2 around 2 years ago, I went to unscrewing the monstrosity, and breaking in to preform the fix that I had known so well.
However when I opened it up I was immediately lost. on the outside it looked the same as my original, but after opening it I saw that the power buttons were mounted inside the lower half, and not on the lid, and the disc tray cover was mounted differently as well.
It took me a grand total of 15min, but I finally got to the inner DVD tray, and yet again was lost. The white gear that adjusted the laser in my old PS2 was not there. I found two white gears in the back, but they did not control the laser. I was about to give up when i told Flash we might as well clean the laser while we were in, so we grabbed an alcohol dipped Q-tip and cleaned the lens.
15min later we were playing ALL of the PS1 titles. Turned out this was a dusty system and it needed cleaning. I am glad that was all it was, and flash is glad to have his games back.
This morning I ran into more troubles, the parental controls were in the way, but I entered a code, and turned it off.
The console works perfectly. It came with a Sony brand controller, and a wireless controller as well. we are loving it so far, and already have a plan on which games we are going to get.
