Hey, I was going to have this be my Facebook status, but it was too long. And I wrote this in my head over five hours ago... yeah.
Just wanted to say:
I used to wish I was younger, (a kid again) and take back mistakes from my life, things I did; now I say I don't want to go though those things again. I'm glad for the mistakes that I have learned from, and I so wish I didn't keep repeating mistakes so often when I know they have huge consequences.
Romans 7:14-25
14For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am of flesh, sold into bondage to sin. 15For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. 17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.21I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, 23but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. 24Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? 25"Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.
Talk to me. Please feed back.
God Bless.
Victor.

A Blog On Music
"A Blog On Music". More my third or fourth. Lol. So, music, I just turned on "Dead Serious" by Zoe Girl, btw (by the way). I also just finished playing accompaniment guitar for my mom while she played a bunch of waltzes on the mandolin on the bed in her room. I love music, and so do kids, music is an international language, (like facial expressions and laughs. As well as crying, moaning, and sobbing). : /.
(Now "I believe" by Zoe Girl is playing, I think I will change artists after this song).
Two Wednesdays ago, (I believe) (on January fourteenth); I sat in on guitar class at 12:30Pm (I am not enrolled), (oh, and btw now I am listening to "Lose My Soul" by Toby Mac.)
Then, I don't remember what I did way back then, basketball class was canceled : (.
But, I went into the lunch room and preceded (began or started) to wait for my mom to arrive in order to go home. I sat down on the little kid plastic bench/table, (you know, the one with the bright colors and it's impeccable ability to bend, that's only if adults or big kids like me sit on it).
So anyways, I sat down and waited... a while. I knew time would go on even further for a while, and I was tired of being alone and listening/watching the middleschoolers talk, and other highschoolers departing the building; so I got out my guitar, and began to play short songs with bar chords like Smoke On The Water, and other songs. Then these three little children came up to me and asked me to play a song. So, I began to play Untitled Song/"Your Song" by Lauren Anne McArthy. The little kids started to dance! The youngest (two years old) danced by herself and had the cutest big eyes I have seen in such a little girl in quite a long time. The other boy and girl (5 and 7 I think) danced like they were in a grand ball room, and dancing for a great king or queen, or dancing in the court a prince's wedding ceremony of old.
Anyway, tomorrow, I am going to go to Church, and worship God through music. As well as other things, like: serving the first grade class, learning from pastor Matt, stacking chairs, being a friend to my friends and those who are not. And hopefully, by how I act and what I do. Colossians 3:23-24 (NASB)
Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance It is the Lord Christ whom you serve.
God Bless. Goodnight, and hopefully, see you tomorrow at Church or Youth Group! : )
By all!

Music (listening)
Music, I like to listen to music, very many different kinds. I hope my brain works fast enough here before I go to bed to outline what kinds of music I like and why; or at least some of them.
The inspiration for this song started when I decided to listen to/watch "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles, and I thought about my playlist, and, a lot of those songs are there because that is how I feel (or felt when I put them on the list or while I was listening to them). But, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is not what I am feeling particularly now, and I probably won't be thinking of that very much for a very long time, til I am a boyfriend to a girl. But the song is fun, and I like it.
Hey, sorry you people, I am getting off the computer and, since (from personal history experience) I will probably never finish and post this unfinished Blog/Note if I don't now I am posting it now in it's unentirety*, take it for what it is or what it ends up being to/for you and please send my back some feed back eh?
God Bless Ya'll Now! : )

Blog/Note, Advice On My Life Learning Today About Trust, Faith, and Your Career
Hey you peoples... just a quick Blog/Note to say... I have been thinking of my future, in a lot of ways, and my future with God over everything, one way specifically is, my career, I have been thinking that God wants me to be a firefighter, and, I want to be, I believe he has given me passions that fit with firefighting; however, I was looking at my pictures that I think I will be uploading to Facebook shortly and, I thought (again) that I would just love to shoot pictures with my camera for a living (and support for family). So, with that, God taught (again) how I need to be willing to do whatever he wants (even in my career, and even if he changes it), and me, just have faith that he will give me the will to obey him (and do it) and the His power and ability to accomplish it.
On other note(s), I went to homework club today in Duvall (Wednesdays from 6:00Pm to 8:00Pm) and got a paper cut (from myself) I think it is either my very first paper cut ever or one of my very firsts (lol). It didn't bleed and hasn't bled yet, hehehe.
Something more positive from homework club this week is that I finished all my math (with homework club help of course) that is due tomorrow. I still have a bunch of overdue homework for math though, of well, I did get some done so, that is good. : )
And I finished an assignment that is due on the 21st of January that was assigned me today. It attracted some attention, hehehe (because it is all printed on light link paper!) lol, hehehe.
FYIIYC (For your information if you care) One of my MSN status updates was "hey, : /...bbrrr, it's cold outside! that reminds me of a song title, don't know if I know the song though, lol = )". That was posted basically directly after arriving home from spending about 15 or so minutes outside at homework club.
Well, perhaps I will post backup verses to the above part of this Blog/Note later, I apologize for not doing so already : (. But, I am going to make my way to bed now, : ) so, yeah.
I was looking for the verse that Audio Adrenaline made a song out of (which I really like) called "Hands and Feet" (or something like that), I didn't find it : ( but I did find 2 Samuel 4:11-12 which is most definitely not what I am looking for, and a verse in Song of Solomon 7, lol, hehehe, yeah...
Anyways, good night and God Bless. I want to thank you for reading this, and for being my friend : ) not mater what the circumstances. (and thank you to my friends that don't read this and therefore will most likely not get this message. = P, or, if you get this months or years afterwards, : ).
God Bless.

The Most Wonderful Time/Last Day of the Year.
Victor is going to watch the Swiss Family Robinson, hopefully with his whole current household family; didn't get to watch it with you, but, I can take comfort in, that (with most things) not all things will be "not" forever, and that (a lot of) things that "are" (now) will not always be. But, I also take comfort in that same opposite, lol, Just know that God is in control, and, no matter what it looks like is going to happen, it won't happen exactly that way, or with the supposed consequences or reasons.
P.S. Someday perhaps I shall write a blog that actually talks about the title. : P
P.S.S. My Grandmother Glenn died this day last year.
God Bless.
Amen.

Comment to "Relationships" by Carly Ray Benedict
Hi everyone! And Merry Christmas!
This blog post/note originated as a comment on Carly's blog post "Relationships!" and it got too long I thought to I posted it here. Please read Carly's blog, it is really great : )
Here it goes:
Carly, this is a really cool blog! and you understand more that you think, you were like, completely dead on! this is very thought provoking. a friend of mine (and yours I think) Josh Kuzumzak said something like "a lot of highschool relationships happen because of inpatients". instead of persuing a girl/guy that you "like" you should focus on building good solid relationships with guys and girls and only become good friends with a member of the opposite sex, even if they "like" you back. cause, believe it or not, you can have a great "just friendship" with someone you like. it took me a long time to realize that myself even though I had it all the time.
Haha, Carly, I am sorry this comment is so long, I should probably put it in my own blog!
Another thing is, as a friend (and as a boy/girlfriend or whatever), all the things you do must be sincere and genuine, and you must actually love the person and not faking love just to get something you want from the person. The love you have must be about the other person and not about yourself.
And, the love be for no matter what happens, to be willing to be a friend to this person even if they say they have feelings for you or vice versa and you too still love the person to be there friend even if they have feelings for you or even if they don't, no matter ho much it hurts. Not that you should go through Hell for friendship just for you; again, do everything as unto the Lord. Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men,
Goodnight, Merry Christmas, and God Bless. I'm praying for y'all

December 21st quick note/advice. :)
Just a quick random note to say: Just because you "finally got married", doesn't mean all or any of your problems are over, even for a minute, lol, or even gets easier. seriously. Ask someone who knows (from personal experience) if you doubt it. Even pick a "great christian couple" that you respect and look up to, (you have to have at least one of those, come on, could even be your parents, though, that is rare to come from your own mind's eye). Who don't even have kids yet, and tell me if you don't find their words close to mine. Merry Christmas to you and all you know!

December 20th, 2008 the 3rd-was to be facebook status.
Victor has snow, music, God, and... it's been a month, remembering a lot, finding a lot of sentiments he hasn't seen in "ages" (literally, I have grown so many years in some areas this year), months, some almost an entire year. Wow. God it amazing and powerful.
God Bless and merry Christmas. : )
Victor.
God Bless and merry Christmas. : )

December 20th, 2008 the 2nd, lol, hehehe.
Hi, there again, Another note here to say. It's snowing still snowing, last year (unless I am mistaken) was my first "White Christmas" (I had a joke here, but I though better of it and took it out, it was about Christ, and not-white-Christmases.) I believe (from my personal experience and others'), that a "White Christmas" is very rare in these parts, I also cannot remember being out of school for so long (basically the whole week, I went to one class on Tuesday), (although this is really only my second year of being in school), or Snow on the ground for ever a week, I checked the weather here and, to me, it looks like there may be snow on the ground a whole-nother'* week yet!
Btw (By The Way); all you peeps out there, friends of mine, I haven't received a call from non of you science Wednesday! : \ send me a ring soon okay? Please, and have fun. Merry Christmas to ya'! : )
haha, God Bless.
Victor.

December 20th, one month after...
Hi everyone, just a "quick" (I know my self to make things longer than planned when I actually decide to do something,) not to say : It is snowing outside now, has been for a few hours, I went sledding with Schuyler (My little brother), and Joey Nichols. I hauled firewood (for the fire. Or "house fire" hehehe). I will upload my "winter wonderland" pictures soon. I encourage you to check out my 2nd Playlist here, I am listening to it now. : ). Tonight (or tomorrow) I am going to take a shower and then cal my neighbor Josh at about 7:ooAm to see if the Duvall Church is having Church, if so, then I will probably be in Duvall by 1/4 to 8:00Am (or 7:45Am oprox.), Any invitations? hehehe : D.
If there is still Soulfire Youth Group it is a "White Elephant" Christmas gift exchange party if I am not mistaken. Please do not hold me to that last statement.
Merry Christmas, God Bless, have fun, be good, sleep well, pleasant dreams, I love You, go to church if you can, be safe. Hope to see you in heaven or much sooner. Night'
Victor.
P.S. *sigh* for those of you who know what I am talking about, it has been as close to a month as is possible to estimate, if you go by date numbers. who would have thought, this time exactly, and along with other mixed emotions, I am at piece right when it was exactly a month ago I was in my bed crying.
Love You All'

The Blog/Note of Today (December 11th, 2008).
Hey peoples, I thought I would write a note about blogs (or notes); because I have decided that I will blog more often, with shorter notes, even if there is no apparent point to the note other than a status update. Or possibly a thought not ever fully explored. So, to start off, I say: Jazz is powerful, and very expressive, I can relate to it immensely, whether there are words or not in the song. I would encourage all of you to make an effort to find a type of jazz that suites you.
As always, may the good Lord bless and keep you.
Love to you.
Victor.

More of My Healthy Physical Activities
Hey y'all, I do have better things to blog about, I really do, but I have been so busy, and this blog is another nonspiritual one, but I have been thinking and learning a lot of things.
So, today I ran from school to the Monroe Dance Studio with my backpack, I didn't stop running the whole time, and it took me from 3:43 to 4:06 to get there. I was pleased with actually making it without walking. Plus left foot hurt almost the whole time, and I switched which arm my back pack was on like, twenty or thirty times.
I went to the dance studio not to dance, (I sorta did anyways, haha) but to meet Mrs. Apple to go and work with my horse.
I also did this last week, but I just walked, had my headphones, saw cops at a fight scene with blood on shirts (one of them being white (the shirt). and lots of teen witnesses, (I wonder if any of them will have to go into a witness protection program or relocation. HA HA).
I also had to wait for over an hour when I went to the studio the first time, cause Mrs. Apple was talking to my mom. Thank God I had my MP3 player, seriously.
Well, I get to go Rock Climbing tomorrow in class, y terminen mi terea de clase de Español mañana, (and finish my home work for Spanish class tomorrow morning.
and then Youth Group on Wednesday! YaY! See you all there right?!? K!
Adios.

Mail Truck
I passed a mail truck today. I got to walk from Sky Valley Education Center to Frank Wagner West. And, I was gaining on this mail truck delivering mail; and I almost passed it twice while it was putting mail into mail boxes but, it drove ahead, but then I passed it, and it never caught up with me. I thought maybe it was going to be Mr. Clement driving but I was wrong.
That must have been the most boringist (I know that is not a word) blog post I have posted ever.
God bless you all!

Bicycle rides, 60 hour famine funds and a word
Hey guys, no comments on my last post? It's been ten days after all. And like, ten of you visited? ( thanks to all who did visit and read by the way).
So, I have been thinking about the word "permanent"; in our American culture, what does "permanent" really mean?
I might be totally wrong, make no sense at all, or maybe I just haven't been paying attention. But, I think the value of permanence has been defaced in our culture (not that I know other cultures real well, maybe most of the world thinks this way).
So, about the word permanent, think of things that are "permanent" around us; such as "a permanent dwelling" (instead of moving every year), how permanent is that really? People still move and die, and go to either Heaven or Hell.
What about the Permanent Marker?
Even marks made by it are gone after time. Doesn't permanent mean something like, forever? or, maybe... permanent?
Take tattoos, even they can be removed.... surgically....
...or with a laser,
OW that burns!!!
Okay, so, back on a more serious note, what have we decided about the word "permanent"? is it really permanent? is it just for pretend? Does permanent merely mean "not meant to be changed"? What does all this say about marriage? Does this mean that divorce is okay?
I say...NO!
And so does God (he said it first by the way) God said in the book of Matthew that marriage is to be permanent, and not to be broken. Matthew 19:6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate".
"Let no man separate", I'd say that means permanent, what do you think?
My opinion, is that the world's view on permanence is drastically wrong
Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.
When it all boils down to it, Gods love it basically the only thing permanent, (there are some other things that God says will be forever). 1 Chronicles 16:34 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
As an additional side note, "love is never ending" a song by Brad Paisley, but more importantly something that God said in 1 Corinthians 13:8
4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
So, enough typing about that, (even though I'd love some comments and/or discussion).
So, I have collected a total of $781.54 for World Vision as a part of my 60 Hour Famine. I am still accepting donations and I have at leased $100 more in donations on it's way for World Vision.
Also, I got to go bicycling recently! Yay, I went to Duvall from my house, I used Rimrock, Highrock, and Rimrock road and highway 203 to get there, using those other roads improved my safety and difficulty. Besides that it was almost eight miles to where I was going from my house, it took my about 45 minutes on Saturday, and I'm not sure how long on Monday (I went two times). I got a ride home both of those times, I didn't really have a ride to Duvall, but I did on the way back, odd huh?
Well, thanks again to all who read me here, who have donated to World Vision and thank you to those who will in the future as well.
Adios!
So, I have been thinking about the word "permanent"; in our American culture, what does "permanent" really mean?
I might be totally wrong, make no sense at all, or maybe I just haven't been paying attention. But, I think the value of permanence has been defaced in our culture (not that I know other cultures real well, maybe most of the world thinks this way).
So, about the word permanent, think of things that are "permanent" around us; such as "a permanent dwelling" (instead of moving every year), how permanent is that really? People still move and die, and go to either Heaven or Hell.
What about the Permanent Marker?
Even marks made by it are gone after time. Doesn't permanent mean something like, forever? or, maybe... permanent?
Take tattoos, even they can be removed.... surgically....
...or with a laser,
OW that burns!!!
Okay, so, back on a more serious note, what have we decided about the word "permanent"? is it really permanent? is it just for pretend? Does permanent merely mean "not meant to be changed"? What does all this say about marriage? Does this mean that divorce is okay?
I say...NO!
And so does God (he said it first by the way) God said in the book of Matthew that marriage is to be permanent, and not to be broken. Matthew 19:6 "So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate".
"Let no man separate", I'd say that means permanent, what do you think?

5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.

The Blue Moon. (And other things).
Today I went to the Sno-Isle Library in Monroe (yeah the big one) after a lawn job in town; I didn’t actually go inside, I just walked from the van to the book-drop with three books of my moms, I dropped them in the “adult teen” box, I turned around and started walking towards and then one girl in the little group of three-five ladies asked me “do you have any gum?”, and that was cool/nice/”oh my” and I like, totally messed up, lol, I said “no, no thank you” ugh lol. and I didn’t say it very loud, and I didn’t stop, and I didn’t really look at them, I’m so horrible, okay, it was funny, I’ll do better next time. I think I’ll buy some gum.
While this “once in a blue moon” is still here (while I blog), I might as well tell you about this phone call that I got, I actually got that phone call again today, a repeat of the incident that happened about a week before.
The following:
So this guy calls me on the phone, he says he is from
And I say "um, once" he said "are there any other household members available who also go to the movie theater?" I said "yes, and they have only been to the theater as often as I have" he said "thank you for your time, good bye" Victor: "goodbye”.
So yeah, that was interesting, and it happened twice, I could write out the differences here but, I don’t think I feel evil enough to do that to you today, but if you call me on the other hand…
Bye the way, I participated in the 30 Hour Famine (from World Vision) with the Duvall youth group last weekend, I am fasting n the 16th and 17th with the Sky Valley Bible Church Youth Group, and I have a whole whopping $421.54 and all of that is already received (meaning pledges actually collected) and only three cents was donated from me, (three cents I found last weekend in Duvall. Hehehe. So, I express a BIG round of applause and thanks to all who participate in the 30 hour famine, and especially to all you of you who donated. Thank you!
So, when Joy *clears throat* send me pictures of the famine I will try very hard to put them up here, some, some up here.
I do have a couple of pictures I took my self though, I might put them up later, I think the picture is just of Kevin Ulrich with his cardboard house and sleeping bag, lol.
So, I think I owe you guys who actually enjoy reading me at leased a list of some things that have been going on with me, so here’ goes.
I am in the process of getting my Horse (with no name) actually on my property.
I took up the Mandolin last September, around then.
I will cut lawns for money, I have experience.
I go to the Duvall Youth Group on Sunday nights now that Awana is over.
I am looking for a mission trip to go on this summer.
I am applying to be a staff person for my Church’s 3rd-6th grade children’s camp.
I like to hike.
I like to Take pictures and create panoramas.
I am “online” a lot on instant messenger and reply to emails fairly well.
I do not often read through what I write/type before sending it to make sure that it makes any sense.
K, I want to talk more, but, I am bored of this (aburiddo en Español).
So, bye, Buenos noches, adios amigos, luego, hasta lavista, (and for some of you) hasta mañana.
Victor (Raúl).

Khalil's Snake and The Walk for Life
Hey guy/gals, sorry I haven't posted on here for a while, a lot has happened that I haven’t yet bloged about. Like Awana Games and Dare to Share and camping with Mr. Richardson on the property and Lised's Quinceañera.
Also, when Khalil was holding a garter snake captive.
There are more snake pictures here.
Today I walked the Walk for Life with Lised and Hannah.
It is a fundraiser for the Pregnancy Resource Center of Snohomish County.
The
Here is a picture perspective of being behind everyone else:
The walk started at the
What surprised me about the walk was that it was only one mile. The registration form had said two miles and I had advertised two miles also to the people who sponsored me, I had better walk another mile soon. Here is a map of the walk.
Have a good week.

Lake Tye Pictures
Today, (03-12-07) I went to the Lake Tye and took pictures.
And then I went to my Orthodontist. I don't have to wear latex bands any more! (Kind of like rubber bands).
Accept latex bands don't taste yucky, not that I taste them often, its probably been ten years since I have.
So, yeah, those are some of the pictures I took. I will come back to the computer tomorrow post more pictures and finish talking/typing.
Be back soon.
P.S. oh, please don't sell these pictures or post them anywhere else.
Thanks.

Eating Flies
Eating flies. No, not me! My cat Khalil. Khalil, by the way is named after the character Khalil in Jonah a Veggietales movie.
So, yesterday afternoon I was listening to my Mom read "Me, Myself and Bob: A true Story About Dreams, God, and Talking Vegetables" checked out of the library by the way.
Yeah, so it is basically Phil Vischer's autobiography about how Veggietales was made when he didn't have any money and how God provided for him (and for everyone who has seen Veggietales).
So, she was reading. Then, I heard something on the windowsill behind me, (I was laying on the couch) I looked and it was a fly, then, it was Khalil's front paws, and then, his mouth, then, his tongue, and then... no more fly on the windowsill!
Khalil took his first hunt of the year a few feet away from the window, to the middle of the living room, chewed it, and then swallowed it.
All of that fly stuff reminded me of the following poem:
With all that said, My cat ate a fly yesterday. I hope it was interesting to you. Oh, and Awana games is this weekend, expect pictures here from that.
Well, it's off to youth group for me.
P.S. By the way, the third to last word in the version of the fly poem is spelled wrong. Did you notice that?

All of that fly stuff reminded me of the following poem:
I knew an old lady who swallowed a fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly, Perhaps she'll die
I knew an old lady who swallowed a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed a spider to catch the Fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the fly, Perhaps she'll die
I knew an old lady who swallowed a Bird
How absurd, to swallow a bird
She swallowed a bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the, fly Perhaps she'll die
I knew an old lady who swallowed a cat
Imagine that, she swallowed a cat
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed a bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the, fly Perhaps she'll die
I knew an old lady who swallowed a dog
What a hog, to swallow a dog
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed a bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the, fly Perhaps she'll die
I knew an old lady who swallowed a goat
She opened her throat and swallowed the goat
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed a bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the, fly Perhaps she'll die
I knew an old lady who swallowed a cow
I don't know how she swallowed the cow
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog,
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat,
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
She swallowed a bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
But I don't know why she swallowed the, fly Perhaps she'll die
I knew an old lady who swallowed a horse She dead of course!
With all that said, My cat ate a fly yesterday. I hope it was interesting to you. Oh, and Awana games is this weekend, expect pictures here from that.
Well, it's off to youth group for me.

The Second Panorama
Friday, February 23, 2007
Almost Two Panoramas
Finally, I came up with something else to blog about! I've been trying to think of something to write about for almost three weeks!
Well, right now I am reclining-at-couch and eating a cup of pure chocolate ice cream and typing to all of you.
Now, on to more interesting things...
Here is a panorama of... Oh, wait! It's hailing now, just a little though. Ok, back to what I was saying...
Here is a panorama of five pictures I took yesterday at five thirty p.m. on a video tripod on the deck at the west of my house. Camera settings: Shutter speed: 1/400.S, ISO (Digital sensor speed and sensitivity): 64, F/3.2 and WB: Cloudy.
Here is a shorter description.
Description: The sunset above the west bank of the Tualco Valley and the clouds in front of the Olympic Mountain Range.
Here is another panorama. The camera settings are pretty much the same. I took it the same day, but I took these at five thirty-one post meridiem, and at a six hundred fortieth of a second and at F/3.5
Oh well, sorry, my computer isn't letting me upload that second panorama, and by this time it's time for me to go to bed.
So, good night :)
P.S. I'll try to remember to try to figure out how to put that second panorama online later. I think the problem with it is that the panorama is to long, it is made of nine pictures instead of five.

Glasses
Hi ya’ll. Well, I'm glad to see that you people have been visiting my blog since I told you about it. (And also those of you I didn't tell, but found out by snooping around, like my older brother Joshua.)
So, I went to Awana today. We are now talking/learning about developing a biblical worldview through the Bible, duh (only "duh" to the part about using the Bible to create a biblical worldview). And, I was supposed to write down five answers to the questions:
1. Who are you? What are things you identify yourself with?
(things that you are. like a "male human being" or, a "female human being")
2. What do you do? Things you do that don't identity you?
(like taking out the trash doesn’t mean you're a garbage man).
So, I finished my list but, I had some trouble deciding on some of the things, whether they were "me" or just they were things "me" do. So I decided to let you help me, here is my list:
(I mixed the answers up so I can see your "view" of me better)
- Follower of Christ
- Bicycle Rider
So, please, while I go to bed (or after) leave a comment (or more than one) with the above ten answers in the "who I think you are" list or the "what I think you do" list (in case you don't know who I am, all ten of the answers will accurately fit into one of the categories).
Or, you can make a list of your own answers. I'd love it if you would do that either way. This reminds me of when we did something like this at youth group.
Oh well. Good night!
