Alright guys. There's something that's been on my mind for waaaaay too long. And I'm sick of it. I can't stand it anymore. It makes me want to curl into a ball and make believe it's not real. And you all should know what it is, because its EVERYWHERE!
It's complaining. I can't stand it!
I hate it when people just complain and complain and complain about what they're doing. All they do is just go, "wah, wah, wah, wah wah. " and they're not even playing a guitar with a wah-wah pedal on it! These people think the world evolves just around them and all they do is just complain and nag about it. CAN'T YOU GUYS STOP IT!? IT's GETTING ON MY NERVES!!!!
Aww, who am I kidding? I did a post like this a long time ago, I remembers now. I'm not really angry guys...I did that for kicks when, about a paragraph into it, I realised I did this before. Oh well. Just giving you all an update when I've got a little time.
Summer!
I've been working, nothing new. But I went to Camp Sacred Heart 2008. One of the best camps ever! And I led my team to a victory! Oh yeah! Who can do something like that? My team, St. Theophane Venard, was able to get it's name on the back of the bear head cup. A definite, sweet, sweet reward.
And that's about it. Smoke was/is all over the place, but its like that everywhere else. Aaaand yeah.
Oh! I'm reading "Socrates vs. Sartre" by Peter Kreeft and it is a hecka entertaining book for anyone who really enjoys deep philosophy. Beware, though. If you're like me and aren't the best at it, you might get some headaches! :-p
And then there's a song that always gets stuck in my head. You should listen to it! Its "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. It basically rocks, but not literally. Or musically for that matter. Its mellow!
And I'm out!
Cheers.

HOW TO GIVE YOUR CAT A PILL IN TWENTY EASY STEPS
1. Sit on sofa. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your elbow as though you were going to give a bottle to a baby. Talk softly to it.
2. With right hand, position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. (be patient) As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow. Drop pill into mouth. Let go of cat, noticing the direction it runs.
3. Pick the pill up off the floor and go get the cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process. Sit on floor in kitchen, wrap arm around cat as before, drop pill in mouth. Let go of cat, noticing the direction it runs.
4. Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away. Scoot across floor to pick up pill, and go find the cat. Bring it back into the kitchen. Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten. Drop pill into mouth.
5. Pry claws from back legs out of your arm. Go get the cat, pick up half-dissolved pill from floor and drop it into garbage can.
6. Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of closet. Call spouse from backyard. Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously.
7. Retrieve cat from curtain rod, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered Doulton figures from hearth and set to one side for gluing later.
8. Get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw.
9. Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink glass of water to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap.
10. Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with rubber band.
11. Fetch screwdriver from garage and put door back on hinges. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Throw T-shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom.
12. Call fire department to retrieve cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take another pill from foil wrap.
13. Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed, force cat's mouth open with small spanner. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour one cup of water down throat to wash pill down.
14. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call at furniture shop on way home to order new table.
15. Get last pill from bottle. Go into bathroom and get a fluffy towel. Stay in the bathroom with the cat, and close the door.
16. Sit on bathroom floor, wrap towel around kitty, leaving only his head exposed. Cradle kitty in the crook of your arm, and pick up pill off of counter.
17. Retrieve cat from top of shower door (you didn't know that cats can jump 5 feet straight up in the air, did you?), and wrap towel around it a little tighter, making sure its paws can't come out this time. With fingers at either side of its jaw, pry it open and pop pill into mouth. Quickly close mouth (his, not yours).
18. Sit on floor with cat in your lap, stroking it under the chin and talking gently to it for at least a half hour, while the pill dissolves.
19. Unwrap towel, open bathroom door. Wash off scratches in warm soapy water, comb your hair, and go find something to occupy your time for 7-1/2 hours.
20. Arrange for SPCA to get cat and call local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.

Who can tell me what that is from??

I Can't Believe That I Didn't Say This Sooner
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'M SORRY!!!! Now you can leave me alone and enjoy a new post! I'm not guaranteeing nothing, though. If you don't enjoy it, go cry about it and I'll give you a sweet tart. For now, I'm giving you an update. I'll see if I can find something to talk about intensely later on.
I just realized. I'm wasting time! I've got guitar to practice. I've missed two weeks and I've barely practiced! What do I practice! Stiney, you guys are wasting my time! Kind of true, but it's me. And I want to do this. I guess I can update you guys on that. Ever since I've had lessons things have been going breezy with learning stuff. I'm no Van Halen, but I'm definitely...Damien Crane. Yeah, who can deny the superiority of that?!
Some other news is that I've been running a choir. In case you guys didn't know that! Yeah...been doing it for a while now. Bossing around a cool kid that plays piano (gotta boss him because he clunks the piano) and then bossing around my family and a few others always brings a good time. But not really! It's summer! We should have breaks! I'm running low on choir! I think we really have only one girl..but she might not be at the next Mass we're preparing for, that's no good. And then we've got a dictator "liturgical director" telling us what to do and how to do things. And, quoting OCP (Oregon Catholic Press, they make the hymnals for our church) we "should look for a new liturgical director." Yeah, my beef on that. Eat it! It's fun...I just want to get the choir experienced on chant and parts...but we're running pretty low now, so I've got a couple other things to worry about.
Been working. Good enough. Learning more Spanish.
Have got two new kittens! Possibly three! I can say for sure that we have two new kittens because that's what we officially have. One this bugly thing but adorable at the same time, and another runt that's black and (a little bit) white that has dark blue eyes. Imagine that, black with dark blue eyes! He's so cool. The third I found today, meowing like it was the end of the world, over at work. He's beautiful, serious. He doesn't look wild, but I can't see him moving that far away from the nearest house there was. I'll ask the coworkers and find out. But I'm hoping we can keep her. She's too cool and beautiful to pass up.
Did I ever tell you guys about the time one of my dogs (Bibi- black lab and chow mix) got into a fight with a raccoon? No? Well here's the story:
It was a windy day and the dogs were barking, and we look at this tree (it was winter, so there were no leaves) and there is a raccoon swinging back in forth in the wind on one of the branches! Well, we had new pups then so we were wanting to get that thing away. Only...nothing would really move it. To stop the dogs from going crazy, we put them inside, but they still were anxious (or so I heard) to get out. My dad brought a pruning tower from the other side of the house and, with a pool pole, knocked the raccoon down the tree slowly but surely. Eventually the raccoon gave away and Royce and I made sure it headed out past our field. Royce was recording (we don't have the video anymore, I think), and I was holding this shorter pool pole when we see one of our dogs, Bibi, rushing like wildfire after the raccoon right into the olive orchard. My brother thought the coast was clear so he opened the door and Bibi just went rushing after the raccoon. So Royce and I ran into the olive orchard by climbing the fence and Royce then had the pole when we reached the coon and Bibi. The raccoon was pinned against a tree and baring it's teeth and scratching and biting whenever Bibi got near. But Bibi always knew the right time to strike. She always went for the throat, as I recall, while the raccoon couldn't really do anything in that position but bite and scratch where it could. Not wanting anyone to get bit or rabies or anything, I got the pole from Royce and pinned the raccoon to the tree while Royce dragged Bibi away. The raccoon climbed the tree afterwards and that was the last of it. Bibi didn't even get a scratch! I'd show you pictures of the cute little thing, but I have no clue where to find them, and I looked!
Too long! Post too long! It's boring, I know! Sorry. I promise I'll do better next time.
Cheers
