i'm in new york and my 4th transfer. which means i've been here for like... 6 months. so that's a quarter of the way done. sweet.  i'm in lynbrook, and i am learning creole. ou pale kreyol?  it's kinda like french, but not really. a little different. i'm learning a few random words like food and sleep. just normal everyday words. and i think i have the purpose memorized now.  lets see..
  Envite lot moun pou yo vin jwen kris nan ede yo resevwa levanjil retablia atrave lafwa nan jezikris ak ekspyasyon lian, repantans, batem, resevwa don sentespri a epi pesevere jiska lafen.
  yup that's it. it sounds like muddled french. people say that french is the language of love, and this is similar to french, but i wouldn't put it with love. cuz its weird.
ok bye

As tradition, it's been a few months since last post. But it seems a bunch of friends are posting, so i will too. 
a while ago i got my mission call!  I'm going to new york, new york south. it's pretty much all of Long Island. i get staten island and bermuda as well. i'll need a passport for that one. maybe not even go there.  I leave next month, august 22.  my good friend, geoff parsons left today for the mtc. he's going to sacramento, cali. speaking some crazy language called loation. oh, i'm speaking english. good thing too, so many different people there.  oh something else, my patriarchal blessing says i'll have the gift of tongues.. after getting my call that says english i think that it'll mean that i'll be able to speak well, and not stutter or whatever.
   i think we'll start another blog for my mission, when that comes. i can't wait to go. 

Adventures in jobs

So, I've had some crazy times lately, I quit my job at the Common Scents, after working there for 2+ years, and i had a few days of doing nothing, I'm working through SOS, which is good, so i can find a job easier. so the wednesday after quitting i got a job at Olson's Greenhouses, which was really hard work for me, like harder than i've ever done. in 8 hours. then on the third day, but really second day, they let me go home early. i was sad i was leaving but glad cuz i was gonna quit then anyways, it's too hard, and at least i tried it.
then the weekend, so now it's monday again and i call sos and they have another job for me, making dog food... ugh.. i was there for 8 hours as well and it was pretty crazy.. i was at one station the whole time, but there was a few different positions to stand at, like feeding the strips, or collecting and filling cans with said strips, and also putting the cans in boxes to stack the boxes on a pallet. the only downside i can find so far is that they want me to work 12 hour shifts, which is super crazy, but my mom's friends have been doing this for 20 or so years! so i bet i can do it, also i am working with a bunch of old ladies, so if they can wake up at 3am, so can i!!! the number one upside is that i get $9/hr, which is the best i've ever gotten paid, EVER!! my last two jobs i got 8, then 8.5 so now i have a good enough reason to get up early and be on my feet half the day.
i gotta find stuff to eat during the day, i ordered a cool lunch box off thinkgeek today and i hope i get it soon, and i hope i work here for a month or so. i just gotta say, if i survive these 12 hour days, i'll be making $108 a day!! that's awesome, i can't believe it, just so great. but i guess i work like three or four days a week as well. oh yeah, food... i need some stuff to eat but i don't eat too much, and i can survive the day not eating a bunch of stuff, but now that i'm working all day i gotta get something that will keep in a box in a fridge and keep me going.. what i did at the last place, DGS, i just had some peanut butter and crackers in my car, i still have that now, but i haven't even opened either yet. i figured peanut butter cuz it says on the bottle that it keeps me going! so if i have a lunch box, i can just keep it inside, but it's not t00 bad to go outside for lunch... bytheway, i only get 20 minutes for lunch!! it's horrible!!
well i'm done ranting now, my typing is getting worse..

Busy Month of February

So lately i've been busy with some cool, fun projects. First is this cardboard Samurai suit my friend and I are making, i'm almost done, got some parts left to "color" and by that i mean cover in colored duct tape, black and purple. i've made the helmet first so i can base everything off that. i'm really impressed with it. The rest of the body armour, that's a little tough, i want to do plates, so that they cover a little of the one next to or under it. it's a good challenge for me. I finally get to show what i'm thinking, usually i have awesome ideas but can't put it on paper, but this is more than just drawing!
notice the light switch cover? I painted that too, it's a skullcandy logo, like the best and coolest headphone brand ever.

The other project is for my NERF guns, they are usually really weak and useless against people, so my friend the other day was like, hey lets mod these and have an epic battle! so i have two guns, a raider and a recon, and i've had the raider painted already, but that part of the story comes later.. but i took it apart (which i love to do with things to see how they work) and took out the Air Restrictor, which obviously restricts the air coming through to make it more powerful, so now it shoots like double to distance. and A LOT faster! it's great. Then with the recon, this base color is yellow, which if we're going to have this awesome battle, it's gotta be dark and not obvious. so i took it apart, and modded the parts, then i left it apart to paint it, and that day my friend and i went to Wally World to get some paint, i got this dark brown-green stuff. i didn't know what color it was exactly until i used it. it turns out to be this dark chocolate brown, i really like it now... oh yeah and with this gun i had painted the slide black, it was this awful white color, and it didn't match the rest of the gun. so now the gun is black and brown, looks lovely hah..
I'll post pictures later, i can't find the memory card thing now. it converts my tiny sd card from my phone to the bigger piece to put in the computer, and it's black, if you find it, i'd like it back, thanks. anyway, that's it for now, i lost my train of thought while i looked for it.

yesterday was the 24th of july, pioneer day, the day utah was made a state, or something like that..
and there are some fireworks going off all night, even though it's raining like crazy!!

in 20 days, april 19th, PORTAL 2 comes out!! i've pre-ordered it a while ago, and i don't have the money for it, but hopefully i will tomorrow. because a few months ago, me and some friends went to help move frozen food from a flipped semi to another normal one, worked for 4 hours, with $20/hour. pretty good i say, so that's $80 towards portal!! the game i knew was gunna be at least $50, i was prepared for it, because it's gunna be awesome. once i was playing mw2 with james and his friend and this other kid was saying he wouldn't pay anything over 20 for it, and i was saying i'll pay around 50 for it, 60 if need be. and it is about 54 dollars, and so i'll need to save the whole 80 just for fun. i've spent a few monies for my xbox so far, the console itself was 120, including the best game ever, mw2. and i bought the orange box, for 20, and a 20 gig hard drive for 20, and a controller for around 15, and like three 1600 points cards for 21, and a memory card for 14, and i think that's it.. i lost 5 to trying to buy 400 points, but it never went through.. oh and 10 for a mic. the games i have are cod mw2, cod black ops, orange box, lego harry potter, and need for speed hot pursuit.. i'm okay with nfs, but i don't like harry potter very much. tomorrow is april 1st, which means that it's the day we moved in like 12 years ago, and it's also my buddy, tony's b-day. and of course, april fool's day, i hate that day, it's useless, idk why it's even there. but on my birthday, the 29th, my work buddy, Mena, is making me some apple crisp for my b-day! i wonder if my mum will get me some reese's..... hmmmm reeses.. i've not had that goodness for a long long time!! i used to eat a lot of it every day! so much that geoff can't believe i'm still alive, or not even fat! i guess i have a high motabolism, i don't know much about that, but it's okay with me when i eat a bunch of crap and not get too fat from it, i weigh like 205 the other day, so it's like that's my normal weight. the other day, two days ago, i went to the mall and got some sweet neon green van shoes! i've been wanting some cool shoes like that lately,, i saw my friend, Rans wearing some red ones and i told my other friend, catherine, and she said to get the neon green with black laces, and that's what i got because it's amazing colour.. and super bright outside, i was blinded when i walked out there the other day,, i also got matching suspenders... i like wearing cool stuff like that! okay, now i'm done, i even typed pretty fast, and now i'm slowing down/ messing up a lot

it's been a while...

i got this blog for school, and i never get on, but i guess i should, if anyone ever reads this stuff... but now i'm going to say that i am going to get an xbox 360 and try it out for size for about a month, and if i don't like it, i'll let riley, my cousin try to sell it, or something...
