A Beginning and an End
Well... The poll of which summer movie was best has finally ended. It was pretty much a blowout for Spider-Man 3. (Which was my personaly favorite). I'm working on a new poll now, check it out! (Answer honestly!)

Air Guitar
Anyone who knows me knows that I love to pull some sick moves on the air guitar. I'm not like an ordinary person though. I actually take time during the day and practice air guitar moves. I love to take some of my favorite songs and make up some amazing stuff. Well, a lot of you know that Whispers in the Dark is one of my favorite songs, but I've never really tried air guitaring it (Seriously) until yesterday when I watched the video on a taped episode of Rock Block (Gospel Music Television). It is a way way way way way way way way sweet song to crank up (My parents weren't home) and just bust out with the radical moves. Well, my lawn mower needed to cool off for awhile so I jumped up on my trampoline and guess what song I picked... yep... Whispers in the Dark. Let me say that that was one of the most wicked air guitaring experiences I've ever had in my entire 16 years! I could pull flips and things on the trampoline and some gnarly high jumps! It was mondo sweetishness! Just thought I'd inform y'all

A Concert
Today after church in the sanctuary I got to hold my second "Concert". It's where I get to go upstairs and play on the piano whatever I feel like and sing and have a good time. The echo of the sanctuary is way cool! I wish I could describe how cool it felt. I pretended there was an audience and I really got into the songs! It was a blast! The piano is one of the nicest that I have the opportunity to play. The only thing that would have made it better would have been an audience... lol... things come in time I guess.

Surf's Up
I just got back from the theater and I saw the movie Surf's Up. It was a pretty predictable movie, but hey... what kids movie isn't? On that note, I thought it was a great younger kids movie that teenagers would enjoy too! I thought it was pretty stinking funny! With Shia Lebouf (Louis Stevens on Even Stevens) as the main character and Jon Heder (Napolean Dynamite on Napolean Dynamite) it made for a pretty funny movie! If I have to compare it to other movies, it's definately not as good as Spider-Man 3, but I thought it was quite a bit better than Nancy Drew. I suggest seeing it!

High of 75
Using the same concept, idea, and style, I just recorded a similar version of High of 75... I apologize for all mistakes, but I haven't played piano for a long long time and I thought this was as good as it's going to get for a while... Please leave a commet! (I apologize to those who hate my singing, for I do sing in this recording!) Check it out here!
My Interpretation of Hey There Delilah
Each time I was on an airplane on my trip to Hawaii, I heard the song called, "Hey There Delilah" by the Plain White Tees. (The people who sing, "Hate") I soon fell in love with this song. It is way cool! I have even put it on my Facebook... anyways... I have made my own softer more delicate interpretation of the song, and have posted it on the Imagine Cup Winners website (I apologize for any background noise... it's kinda loud here... and then there's always Charles), but please check it out and leave some comments! Check it out here!

101st Post!!!!
Hooray I hit the big 101! I'm so happy for myself! Anyways...
A long time ago there was this sweet commercial for something having to do with coffee where this black guy sang a really really cool song that I used to go around and sing. Recently I found out that the black guy from the commercial was Wayne Brady from Whose Line Is It Anyway. I've wanted to find that commercial for a while, but haven't really got a chance until now! I'm so excited to have found it! Check it out!

Toy Story 3?
Hey y'all... I was just surfing some web and found rumors of a possible Toy Story 3 coming out in '09 or'10... That would be wicked sweet! Since I'm a huge huge fan of the first two, I would love a third one (Assuming they put good time into it and use the right voices for the characters)
I'm Back
I got back from Hawaii this morning... Unfortunately I don't have any pics to post yet (I'll have to do that l8r), but I had a stinking good time with the Kersey's. One of the coolest parts of the trip was when we went to the Hard Rock Cafe: Hanolulu. We were sitting there and then this song comes on... I'm like... HEY THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS! It turns out, it was The Best Thing by Relient K. I resolved I had to put the video on my blog when I got back.
On another note, I have gotten a facebook! Hooray! Check it out!

I'm About to Head Off
I'm spending the night at the Kersey's tonight for the plane is leaving 5:30 A.M. tomorrow. This is probably the last blog post I will be able to post for a while. I fare all of my friends farewell... I shalt miss thee. Except for the Wilson's who I already miss so I shalt still miss thee. I promise I'll have a blast and tell you guys all about it, though I will be looking forward to seeing everybody again sometime. I shalt try and make phone calls where they are due when they can be made. Peace Out!

Monk, Psyche, and What's Up Next Week
For those of you who don't know, I have three favorite TV shows. They are Even Stevens, Monk, and Psyche (Spelling?). (Actually I have tons more, but I limit it to those shows since they can still be viewed on TV). Last night was the beginning of the new season for Monk and Psyche! It was an amazing start off for both of them!
The Monk episode was where Monk has to work with his greatest fan (The woman is obsessed), and solve a murder commited supposedly by a dead dog. Weird eh? It was interesting, yet semi-predictable. Monks usually aren't very predictable, but this one kind of was, but it wasn't too bad. It was still very funny! The commercials for next weeks Monk look funny too! He meets up with Snoop Dog! LOL!
The Psyche episode took place on a show called "American Duos". You can guess what it was eluding too. Anyway, there was a snobby, rude judge that had many murder attempts on his life, and he hired Gus and Shaun to protect him. This show was STINKING FUNNY! They tried out for the show and the judge advanced him because he needed them to stay around (But they totally stunk). I don't want to give it all away, but at the end, they end up doing the Tears for Fears song, "Shout" (I think that's what it is called) with Gus dressed up as Michael Jackson and Shaun dressed up as the lead singer from Tears for Fears. They were dancing and singing... oh my word... you need to see it! It is way way way funny!
As for what's happening with me. I get to go to Hawaii! YAY! SWEET! I'm just a little excited... lol (Understatement of the year). I will be gone for I think 10 days. I doubt I'll be able to post anything on my blog while I'm down there (I'll be in Hawaii for the love of donuts), but I'll take a ton of pictures and post them on my blog when I get back. It's going to be amazing... I can feel it in my bones... (Lol)

We're Back!
Hooray being back! I'm sooo tired! My brother woke me up as we drove into our neighborhood. I was sleeping with my head on his lap... lol. The trip I must say, was amazing and I didn't want to leave, but I'm glad the driving is over... Can I get a witness? lol. Anyways... I thought I would post a bunch of pictures that I took while we were down there and explain them, so without any further adou and in no particular order:
I believe that this is a picture of one of the bits of mountain ranges in Utah (or Wyoming... I don't remember which), but the mountains were absolutely amazing!
This is Carmel by the Sea... It's the beach that we went to. I took more pictures, but people will just have to see them when they come over. I took a ton of pictures last week... It would take forever to post them all, however I might post more later.
This is one of the best pictures we got of the entire Wilson family together. From left to right (For those who don't know): Bethany, Amanda, Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Wilson, Blake, and John.
A good picture of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson on the day that we left. Amanda took it when I asked her to take a couple more pictures of the family while I helped my dad load stuff in the van...
Though we didn't get a picture playing Skip-Bo, we did get a picture playing Slamwitch... For those who care, (I don't mean to brag), I won this game. Probably just because I had like... all the munchers though. We only played this game once and I won, however I lost at least 2 out of 3 in Skip-bo and I lost way way way way way way way way many times at Racko... sigh... I always loved that game before...
This was taken approximately 2:00 A.M. while watching the movie Napolean Dynamite. We were extremely tired and this was the day we left, but I say that the picture turned out pretty well anyways.
Whew... I must be getting lazy from my Imagine Cup Days... I posted and commented on way more pictures then (and they were funny), but I am getting old... Maybe I need some cheese... (Inside joke), but these are some of the pictures from the trip. I hope to post more later.
This is me at the Great Salt Lake. I took a picture of myself... The sky looks kinda depressing eh? It was fitting... We were on our way home when this picture was taken.
This is my parents. Still at the Great Salt Lake. That lake really really stunk. I have no idea why the Mormans were traveling across the country and decided to settle right around that dead lake with that horrendous smell... I tasted the lake... It was salty. Duh...
This is Mr. and Mrs. Wilson and my parents at Carmel... There's not really a lot to say... That's my sister on the left...
While we were at Carmel. The four older kids got to climb some rocks (I might have posted on this already... I can't remember... Anyway... here is a picture of the girls sitting on the rocks... (I took it)
This is on the trip either to or from Carmel... I can't remember which... My memory always seems to be failing me... sigh... anyway. This is Bethany and my sister acting snobbish. My dad said it was Paris Hilton and her friend... lol
Note: Amanda Wilson has created a blog of her own. I have added the link to it to my links section of the blog. Check it out and leave some comments!

We're Leaving the Hotel and Some Things to Think About and Some Trivia
We're all getting ready to leave the hotel now. As I said earlier, our destination today is Hastings, Nebraska. I get to look forward to a long day of driving today. We are planning to put on about 900 miles today. Yay... (l0l). We all got a good sleep though so hopefully no one will be grumpy. That's always good. I'll try to post something when I get to the hotel tonight.
Here's something to think about:
Are colors really the same to everyone? When everyone looks at a "blue" pillow, do they all see the same color? Or do they all see different colors, but over the years they have been taught that the specific color they are looking at is called "blue"? Post your thoughts. It is possible.
Another thought:
Are certain magic portals to other worlds specifically designed to send you to a certain place, or is it just random where you end up? In the Chronicles of Narnia, there are different portals that everyone goes through to get to Narnia and they all take them to different places different times. Was it just random where they ended up, or maybe Aslan made the portals bring them there. Post your thoughts.
A Trivia Question:
What is the title of the movie that Russel Crow is in, where he plays a preacher who refuses to fire a shot in a shootout that the city is having?
Another Trivia Question:
What is the 80's movie based in a computer type world where the villians main henchman (might be called commander) is named Sark?

Coming Back
We left this morning around 9:30 California time. It was a very sad moment for everyone, but it seems that it's not too too sad. The Wilson girls get to come out to Nebraska the end of August! Hooray! Anyway... it still was a sad departure and people were crying and the like. The car ride back is not as enjoyable as the one up. I'm writing this from a hotel in Wendover, Utah. We leave for Hastings, Nebraska tomorrow morning bright and early.
I have a TON of pictures to post, but I'll have to do that tomorrow or when I get home because the connection here mixed with the laptop I am using makes for it being too slow for me to post the pictures now.
To the Wilsons: We miss you guys!
