Why Do I Use Two Titles?


I Was Thinking About This Recently

   Completely off topic,but growing up sucks. There's no easy way to put it. When you grow older, you can't get away with acting stupid all the time, which I would love to do. Saying nonesense words with my 3 yr old brother is fun. Laughing with him when anyone says the words "belly" or "chicken" is fun because he thinks it's funny. But my 8 yr old sister doesn't like it when I easily swing my brother around and she wants the same. I tell her she can't do everything he can because she's older and bigger and she hates it. I'm sure this is a topic my dad would tell me, "you won't understand until you're my age." But I am starting to feel it a little more.

   I need to get a job soon. I've filled out around five or six applications, but they aren't working out it seems. That reminds me that I also need a car, since I just got my license, which reminds me that I need to think about my future, which brings me to my opinion of growing up. I remember I couldn't wait to get out of school when I was little, but I wouldn't mind going back to be honest.

   You can't say growing up doesn't have it's perks though. You have way more money, plus a steady income when you get a job. More freedom, too. I'm not sure why this was on my mind, but it was, and this blog isn't anything formal. It's for random junk that's on my mind, regardless if anyone wants to read it. Or random junk in general.

  1. Here is an excerpt from the poem Childhood by David Bates. I thought you would enjoy this part in response to your post:

    Tender twigs are bent and folded --
    Art to nature beauty lends;
    Childhood easily is moulded;
    Manhood breaks, but seldom bends.

Possible Mission Trip?

Putting It to Good Use    My parents and I have been talking and we are trying to find a way for me to make a trip to Belarus in June. We aren't 100% on it happening, but it would be a great experience if it happened. I would be going to an English camp with people my age and "attempting" to talk to them. Another thing we are looking into is finding a way to get our friend Sergey from Belarus to here for a week or so. It would be pretty cool to have someone from another country stay at your house for that long, and to meet someone who you have only seen online. He also says he was the best player on his high school basketball team, so I'm sure he'd enjoy the basketball goal in our backyard.     Updates on my life would include my girlfriend breaking up with me, which really sucked. I'm only 17 though, and it being my first relationship I can't expect too much. Life goes on or whatever they say. I'm looking forward to co-op starting back, e

Getting an Early Start on Blogging Homework

Здравствуйте!    That's "Hello" in Russian. I'm currently trying to get a head start on my Blogging homework while waiting on my Russian teacher on Skype, Sergey, or Сергей, if you prefer. I'm sure the latter is less to your taste. He is a very smart man who lives in Belarus, working with my church as our translator. I'm also trying to think of comments for my fellow student's blogs. I'm not very good at commenting on other people's material. So I'm typing this while I think.     I say I am getting a "Head Start" but I'm sure I'll put this post off until later in the week, guaranteed. I don't have much else to say, really. Things are going as they normally do, I guess. I ate some Goldfish crackers a few minutes ago, if that counts for anything. Now I should probably go comment on some blogs.  до свидания. (Bye.)   

Going Back on Your Word

Why?    I don't know why, but I feel like blogging some more this week even though I don't have a topic. When in doubt, I usually just talk about whats been going on lately and run with it. So... I'm gonna do that.     Right now my little sister is learning about the American Revolution, but it's pretty annoying listening to "Yankee Doodle" on repeat like she is. She does school in the dining room, so I'm lucky enough to be able to hear the radio. By the end of it, I should be able to recite it by heart.    With recent events... I went to the Renaissance Festival with my girlfriend, which was pretty fun. If you aren't sure what that is, you can find out here . Considering both of us like fantasy like Skyrim and others, it was cool to see people creating weapons and clothing in a period-accurate way.    This paragraph is being written a day after the previous ones. I'm exhausted, and I don't know why. I'm drinking coffee to
