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.)   

The Harlem Hellfighters

Becoming an Author    For my American literature class, I have to write a short-story. I've decided to write based on the Harlem Hellfighters. They were officially known as the 369th infantry in WWI. An entire infantry of African-Americans. Americans at the time showed hatred toward them, to the point of giving them to France because they refused to fight alongside blacks. In France, they were treated like any other regiment, also keeping their uniforms besides their new French helmets.    The Hellfighters were one of the most impressive people on the battlefield. Pvt. Needham Roberts heard a German patrol entering his designated area by cutting barbed wire. He accidentally loaded a French magazine into his American gun, jamming it. He then fought off the patrol using the rifle as a club and a bolo knife,killing at least four and wounding about 20 more. Roberts was the first American awarded the Croix de Guerre. He wasn't given the Medal of Honor until 2015,...
