So,
Completely strange things going on these days. Such as me. But that's not the point. I'm talking about completely new posts, NOT like my other ones!! Isn't that cool? For once, I feel normal, even if it's not a good feeling, but somewhat demoralizing. But still, for once I can sympathize at how pathetic your guys' lives must be. All because I'm having this strange day where I feel normal (maybe its a nightmare, but I can walk around, so it has to be real).
So yeah, things have been happening. Last Friday and Saturday we went camping up at our cabins; that was something to remember! One of the first things that happened was us golfing off the hill. All of us hadn't golfed in ages, so it was kind of embarrassing for us all,but I think that I had the most embarrassing moment, though. There I was, after watching my cousin (Brian) and Jonathan do their best, even if they didn't look good doing it, I was ready to hit off over those mountains. I take my time getting ready for a stance, and imagine myself hitting the ball (a good accomplishment, in my eyes). I pull back the club and give it a nice swing and whoosh!!! There it was, flying about, 30-40 yards downhill, maybe more, maybe less. Only, you're thinking to yourself, "A golf ball at that distance downhill is pathetic!!" But let me tell you my friends, it was no golf ball flying downhill; golf balls never go "Whoosh!!!" when you hit them, they go "Whipong!", but that's not the point. Flying downhill was no other than my golf club, and boy it was a beautiful sight, probably a Guinness record (or something like that). So yeah, that was definitely memorable.
We also went hunting that day. I believe when the Pilleys, Mike, David, Jeeps, JC and us Crane boys went up there...we destroyed everything. We didn't go too far, but things were pretty grim with very few chipmunks to see. I believe Jonathan and Royce hit one or two, but that's about it.
After camping we went up to Demolition Derby; now there was something to (somewhat) remember! Cars lined up in a mud-square, surrounded by sand backing up and driving forward into cars is a good sight to see. Sometimes things died down at times and cars were pathetic at hitting each other, but it was all good, all good. The last derby in the square was the biggest one yet; 15 all around the sides, waiting to back up (they need to back up and hit a car before they can drive forward and hit a car) into the first car they can. Now, the point of this last derby was to be the last car able to move, which can take hours, mind you! So things kinda got a little tiring watching the last three cars trying to destroy each other while the other cars lay dead in the square. But the beginning of the derby was really fun to see. In one derby, there was even a double team against one car at a point, and it was so cool to watch that car go flying into the dirt mound.
So yeah, different things happening these days....different things.......
Also, one thing. Please pray for our uncle. He lost lots of blood but had surgery and things are looking better for him, but he's still in a lot of pain. If you guys would, please pray for his well recovery, it would be much appreciated.

"This is Your Life, Are You Who You Wanna Be?"
This has to be one of my favorite lyrical quotes from This is Your Life-by Switchfoot. It asks that question that probably every person has asked himself at least once in his lifetime. There are millions of things we do in a lifetime, but the real question is, are you who you want to be?
There are so many questions we can ask ourselves, and I feel like taking the time to put some of them on a blog, rather than a load of bull...ogna, yep. Bullllllogna; it's a new kind of word. So!
When you're with your friends, are your friends the ones to bring you closer to God or ones that will lead you astray with bad examples, immorality, or carelessness?
When you criticize someone at their faults, do you tell them their faults to hopefully let them realize their faults and work with them? Or do you want to tell them their faults just because you can or to cause argument?
When you tell someone about his faults that he cant work with (let's say he has a bad hair day or old clothes and he cant get a haircut or buy new clothes; some bad examples), why do you mention it? Do you want pleasure at feeling better than someone else?
When you interrupt someone, do you interrupt him for something important, or just because you want to get your say quickly before the subject might die?
When you talk about someone...what do you talk about with them? Do you talk edifying things, or are you making known this person's faults? Worse yet, are you making up or exaggerating the faults of the person?
When you argue with someone, what are you arguing for? Do you argue for your point only, or do you try to slander the person you're arguing while trying to prove your point?
When someone makes a mistake and it's obvious he's embarrassed about it, do you go and help him? Or do you stand there watching, pointing, and laughing?
When you go to Mass, what do you do? Are you contemplating on God and readying yourself for the Sacrifice or are you nudging or talking to your best buddy?
Do you think of others whenever doing something, say, when they need help, do you offer help?
Are you one to go talk to someone who has no one to talk to?
Do you share all your belongings? Or do you hold on to them dearly and only share them if that person does something for you in return?
Do you yell at someone for small reasons?
Do you hold grudges?
Do you look at the ups or downs of a person?
Do you make visitors feel welcome or just introduce them to this and that and walk away?
When--
So, my mind has completely gone blank now. I think this is satisfactory, though....Hopefully, all you people in desperate need to ask yourselves these questions!!! Anyways, some of these questions can have loopholes to them or, you know...ways to get out of it. Such as sarcasm :-D, but only when the other person takes it as a joke, not as an insult....
