Ive got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell

Revised!!! because it made no sense

So I got back from YC last night at like 1 - 1:30 and BOY am i tired. i could barely keep my eyes open today

All I can say is holy crap. best weekend of my life. Good God. Good speakers. Good music

Boy let me tell you the energy in there was overwhelming. 16,000 people.. Toby Mac said something that definatly described it. he said
" the bible says that when 2 or 3 people gather together God is there. And if im doing my math right. Gods definatly in this place"

The speakers were amazing. they hit home for me
the speakers were

Miles McPherson- he talked about something that was in matts blog actually. which was ironic but he said that people blame the devil for things of our own ignorance. it seems like the phrase "the devil made me do it" is a quick fix to explain your own mistakes. he was pretty cool i liked him. he was the first speaker so he was the one who asked who wanted to become a christian. and literaly thousands stood up. it was amazing

Mike Pilavachi- He was an english guy who was halarious. he spoke twice i think. i dont really remeber . but anyways he was talking about well... i forget his name but hes like a 79 year old man who makes friends with terrorists and stuff. but the point was would you go out of your comfort zone for God even if it ment making friends with people from the columbian drug trade.

quote from him "and in the voice only a little 7 year old girl can have she said. did you just get fat or were you always like that?"


Phil dooley- Perhaps the funniest austrialian in the world. haha. I loved him so much. he was the youth pastor for United he was so full of energy and i heard him speak twice once was when we went to a session for making your relationship with God personal. and a grits concert was in the background and he said "maybe i should rap this whole thing". then he made up this horrible rhyme and it went a little something like this " im talkin about moses and a bush on fire watch out you kangaroos cause i can jump higher"
"hippy ho jiggy jiggy"

and bob stromberg a guy who just did like illusions and stuff he did the funniest shadow puppet show iv ever seen, so freakin talented haha he made an old mans face. at first i thought it was his. haha
" the fox...and the hooooooouuuuuund act....2"


but the bands that we went to see were

Toby Mac- which put on the best show in my opinion .
one of the two black guys who rapped and sang with him did a backflip off of a 6 foot speaker and was break dancing. and there was a "solo fight" the girl would do a voice solo then the guitar
player would do a solo back. amazing he whipped out all kinds of instruments like a trumpet and the weirdest classical guitar iv ever seen. it was flat guys..what the heck.

Kutless- best musically in my opinion. they did such a good job. grace and love was amazing we saw them twice and once we were on the floor he had such a deep/clean voice. and the guitar players were crazy good. they swung their guitars around there shoulders at the same time and started playing again

Hillsongs united- the worship band. wow.even better than last year they were so in fire for God they gave off so much energy it wasnt even funny. well it was. they were like hopping everywhere. and at the end phil dooley sang a bit of the song. iv neevr heard anyone sing with an accent before..he did. haha mike love also sang with him. he tried to jump onto the drum set and he knocked over part of it haha

tree 63 did a worship set. i liked the guys voice alot

TFK- they would have been good if we would have not been behind the speakers and in the back corner of the nosebleed section. but they were good despite that we could hear the song this is a call. that was real good

Audio adrenaline also put on an amazing show. he was walking in the crowd and whipped out the old " iv got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell" line and had a cowbell solo...amazing and he lost his voice. thats how you know your doing it right haha .
he got some kids on the stage to sing some of the song. one girl had no rhytem. one girl sucked cause she forgot the words and one guy.. well i didnt pay attention. im assuming he was better because he sang the chorus

Hawk nelson was very good. there were so many people there. we hadta wait outside because they had the small stage but when we got in we went straight into the moshpit. then i went to buy a cd after and got it signed, they were also one of the best musically from what i heard at least.

Delerious was ok.. not my favorite but his voice is real good but nothing special

Grits...was bad live. i hate hiphop live but they were ok. i guess. not my cup of tea though

and HURRAH for the pyro show. fireworks and fireballs up the wazoo. you could literaly feel the heat wafting over you

on the way home we picked up a signal from other peoples walkie talkies and we were talking to them. one was from BC and one was from edmonton. then we realized one of them were right beside us in a van...weird.
and im stealing this from jess's blog
"where are you guys from?"
"were from edmonton and we look funny"

all in all it was a truly amazing weekend. God was there and moved 16,000 people. worship was amazing and wow .. words cant even describe it.

sorry about the insanly long post. but no simpsons quote of the day cause im lazy so heres the quote of the weekend


" i have a question for you guys... you are electric"

Todays practically a thursday for me. i go to YC on friday YIPPIE fm static and TFK ah,...good memories of summer. im so excited, delerious gets a main stage too. hurrah.

this week has been really good. yesterday Cas's mom organized a suprise 20th birthday for him. it was alot of fun, lots of people were there and we had a big BBQ thing.
we didnt really suprise him i dont think cause we were all sitting in the living room as im and lindsay pulled up and the blinds were open.. oh well.
We went to allyces house before the par-tay after doing her papers in record time. yah thats right, half an hour. but we went aand made a card/poster for cas. which i ended up making with a little help from ness. it was pretty funny. it was made of felt and its said CAS YOU'RE 20! with a bunch of stickers. he thought it was funny. i think he liked it. i would

anyways i think imust depart even though i have 40 minutes to waste

but heres a good simpsons quote for you all today. enjoy

Lionel Hutz: Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son."

and a special bonus ...another one

Homer: If he's so smart, how come he's dead?

What a season, to be beautiful without a reason


Well so the long weekend eh? I did alot of hanging out with jess which was fun.
but heres my scheduel

Friday- Went out for supper with Lance and Carrie to Chiantis then over to moxies for white chocolate brownies *drools*. Then we went and picked up thomas and visited cody in the store and stole some of his stickers for their meat packaging and borrowed almost heros from bradens house. which is the funniest movie ever, but i fell asleep in it cause iv seen it before and i was tired.

Saturday- Me Carrie and Teri went to the city to get carries legs waxed and we picked up a gift for vanessa for her confromation. then i went home. went back to carries to make a card for the gift. and it definatly had a zipper. which she loved by the way. then i went over to jess's went for a walk and then we watched almost famous ( one of my favorite movies ever )

Sunday- Me and carrie went over to vanessas house for a family bbq i know what your thinking. "wouldnt that be awkward?" well the answer is yes. yes it was. for a bit.
We stayed there till like 4 and i went home and ate. then we and jess hung out for a bit.played some speed then went out for a walk with nocle and janelle. which was a blast. we went out and checked out all the creepy places in dalmeny like the gas station that i heard music coming from THREE times. weird...70s-80s music and nicolewas brave enough to venture into the bush. with her failed attempts at getting our attention and scare us she finally was the result of the most suureal thing in my life.We were sitting in the corner waiting for her but then she books out of the darkness with a 12 foot stick running towards us...with a big grin. i actually had to stop andthink "is this really happenning" but then i think/oh ya, its dalmeny. of course its happening
then we went back to jess's and freaked out lance over msn and had some popcorn
my mom left for disney world today. the punk

Monday- me and jess went out and took cpitures and went back to the gas station. which we heard the music. again. then we went to her house to upload them. then watched pirates of the carabian then later on that evening we watched jurrasic park 3, better than the first 2 let me tell you. they didnt look fake this time haha

i was going to tell you all a story but i went on that tangent and now i forget. good work
so unless it comes back to me. have a good day.

simpsons quote of the day
with lots of money we could buy all kinds of useful things.,...like...love
-Homer

Ride with me...


so my day consisted of cas and lindsay driving me and lance to the "fire and glory" thing yesterday night and we were already in the city for the track meet ( Which Dalmeny KILLED in might i add.we took the overall thing plus like 90% of the other awards) .

we had some time to kill so we drove around for a bit an eventually ended up at ruckers. We only got like 34 tickets though because we were playing dance dance and pinball.
Anyways. we all got matching rings...yeah...foam happy face ones. admit it. your jealous.

After that escapade we ventured to KFC and got some chicken, wedges, and baby back ribs...mmm mmm good. there was a man beside us who was barking and stuff. it was kinda weird.

Cas also made up this contraption of a drink which i decided tasted like creamsicle and crap.
And off to the fire and glory confrence we went. after we got lost. hahaha

The confrence was super good. i saw a whole bunch of radical things iv never seen before,God was definatly in that place. it was amazing just to see everyone worshiping and everything. I cant even put it into words. you had to be there.

In conclusion. God is good

on another note

Have you ever felt something that you cannot feel? and cannot explain. I think I have (or should I say yes?). And I don't know how it feels. Weird, huh? It's a feeling you don't want ever coming into your life.
A feeling so intense yet numb. It's like you're just there, lying on your bed, trying to sleep, staring at the ceiling and maybe waiting for stars to come down on you.
It's like rollercoaster ride that wouldn't stop. It keeps on turning and turning and turning, you'd be wishing you're dead.
I guess this is what they call "The Irony of Life". Now, do I make sense?
Or did I corrupt your mind


I'm sick and tired of hearing things from uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics. All I want is the truth...just gimme some truth. I've had enough of reading things by neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians. All I want is the truth...just gimme some truth. No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky is gonna mother hubbard, soft soap me with just a pocketful of hope...money for dope...money for rope. I'm sick to death of seeing things from tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists. All I want is the truth...just gimme some truth now. I've had enough of watching scenes of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas. All I want is the truth now...just gimme some truth. -John Lennon

Hurray! I got a new guitar yesterday! A 1970's Fender Stratocaster its black and has a white pick guard...sooo nice.
well i guess its technically not MINE but my dad bought it so its the families. It looks amazing. its not in mint condition but thats kinda what I like about it.

The weekend was real real good. I went to Foam lake with Lance Thomas and Stacey and Lances family excluding his dad and we stayed at our new senior pastors house. I watched Danae's and Davids drama production which was pretty good then we went to the church and i watched thomas lance david and stephen jam for a while. they completed 3 songs. They are sounding super good im excited for when David and stephan move here so they can play more.

We disected worms im class today. let me just say...formeldhyde is THEE nastiest smell iv ever smelt in my life and i feel like puking. But on the plus sider i DO now know what the inside of a huge earthworm looks like. Most people would say, wait a minute steph. thats not a plus sude. but my reasoning is now that i know what the inside looks like ill never eat one again... i mean...

Woo YC is in like...less than two weeks.on that note.

Simpsons quote of the day

Marge: hmm bart looks diffrent
Homer: new glasses?
Marge: No... it looks like somethings troubling him
Homer: Probably misses his old glasses
Marge: I would ask him whats the matter but then id be afraid of smothering him
Homer: yeah...then wed get the chair
Marge:Thats not what i ment
Homer: yes it was marge admit it

We wont ever have to worry again about how this song or story ends...

Nicoles blog got me thinking about how useless school is. why do we need certain thing to graduate unless you want to be a teach informing other of this usless knowledge youve gained in school. Its the most retarded concept in the world. When am i ever gonna need to know that an earthworm has a ceriberal ganglion and how they reproduce. oh now i remeber.thats right. Never. I hardly think that not knowing the quadratic formula. or how earthworms reproduce justifies you to fail highschool
But whatever. stay in school guys. seriosly

Simpsons quote for the day:
Marge: Homer I have someone here to help
Homer: Is it Batman

Chimps, when dressed as 80s action film heroes, when wearing tutus and riding tricycles.
Donkeys, when wearing sombreros and walking into easily visible walls.
Bunnies, when commenting on the mighty Esquilax, a lion with the head of a rabbit and the body of a rabbit.
Circus Folk, while commenting on things which smell of cabbage.
Pooh-Bears (fictional), upon a) meeting someone named "Winnie" or b) when someone gets their head stuck in a pot of honey.
Cows, almost anytime.
Ducks, when speaking in British accents.
Penguins, when shooting out of icy water, when waddling around Antarctica, or when trying to kill batman

If I went to a BBQ and there was no meat. Id be like. Hey goober, wheres the meat. Im trying to impress people lisa. you dont win friends with salad
- Homer

Im a waste of paint, of breath, of space....

Dalmeny has gone corrupt. It was quite a day here yesterday. I will go in chronilogical order here.( of today )
So im walking home from school and i see smoke billowing from a bunch of trees in the distance i dont think much of it because farmers always burn there feilds. But as i keep walking i hear sirens in the distance and im thinking. " well ok i guess thats a bit weird for Dalmeny" So i keep walking. Moments later i see some firetrucks speed by toward the direction of the smoke. so im thinking by now its probably pretty seriose. well it was a big bush fire.

Second. A little while later i hear the sirens moving towards town and I didnt think they kept there sirens on AFTER the fire so i look outside and they are going down the street near mine and i can see smoke coming from there too. AndI hear after that a house caught fire and its totaly gone. i went and checked it out today and the roof and garage are just gutted i dont think you could recover anything from it. which sucks.

Third. Our principle teaches us Law and we techically didnt really have a class cause he was running in and out of the room cause some kids DURING TRACK stole over $9,000 worth of sound equipment from our new theatre. apparently they are from out of town and just carried them out in box's and causally asked where the garbage was.This is Dalmeny so no one thinks much of it.

Seriosly. this last year another fire has taken place. my car has got broken into twice. bradens has jareds has. and a bunch of other people i dont know well. And also the gas station got robbed. ( all of which took place of my street might i add, the arrest for the robbery was two houses down haha) What is this? this is supposed to be nice little fairy tale ( kinda ) town but BAM! a wave of madness has hit us!
this may not sound like a big deal to you "city folk" but comon.. this is a town of what..1,800 people. this isnt supposed to happen here haha

Anyways im done.
heres my simpsons quote of the day

Jimbo: Hey Simpson, wanna trade belts?
Bart: Well, not really, 'cause yours is just a piece of extension cord.
Kearney: Hey, dude, he's ragging on your cord.
Jimbo: Get him!


EDIT: I fixes my links...so now they all work

Franz ferdinand rocks my socks...

In case your wondering. yes. yes i do like to post two times a day...so dont bother asking.


Carrie. if you read this blog. why Is the sound effect digga digga digga so much fun to say? and is there any other sound effect just as fun. i dare you to answer that one.

But anyways. I THINK im going to rant about the weather again. It was BEAUTIFUL out this afternoon but OH NO here comes big old windbag...wind to ruin the day! whats with this like seriosly. why does the weather change every 5 minutes! has the earth gone off some whacky path or are we just affected by radiation or something. honestly.

Why are all my posts about rants? im a very pessimistic person. from now on i dub this the positive blog. and if you dont like it I will personally slap you in the mouth.

Since i already had a simpsons quote of the day i think i will just end off with something i said to allyce yesterday
Your face looks like your moms going to rain... ( yeah thats right... i said it )

The winning days are gone...

SO, i just finished writing this big rant but my window closed on me and this computer makes everything freeze up on this site. augh!

SO ill just get back to my rant. but ill try to keep it as descrete as possibble cause i dont feel like revealing the actual problem. those of you who know whats going on good, well those of you who dont this is probably a waste of time for you cause im not gonna say haha.

anyways something came up with someone i know and i dont know how to handle it anymore. iv tried to solve it, but it only made the matter worse and i dont know what to do anymore. I dont even feel like dealing with it the way i should be . people are trying to tell me to go about it a certian way but they dont understand how well that wouldnt work. . seriosly. im sick of it t and its coming to the point where im not worrying about my own feelings and stress factor but just everyone elses and im so stressed out its not even funny.
im at a loss what to do so if anyone is reading this and knows what im talking about.,. pray for me or give me advice.

ok well im done my rant so heres the simpsons quote of the day.

Homer: its gonna take alot of fireworks to clean THIS mess up

If you can hear a piano fall you can hear me comin down the hall....

We had pizza and kareoke and stuff and after we went to carries house and played only the most amazing game on the face of the planet...thats right folks. Mario Party! I love this game so much. its so simple yet you could play it over and over.

Its getting nicer out hey. all i have to say is HUZZAH its about time. but really. in bio mr B was saying if wedidnt have this cold weather we would have parisits and stuff so... thats good.

Simpsons quote of the day
Aw i hate these flood pants... *opens the door a bunch of water pours in* Hey there working my feet are soaked but my cuffs are bone dry! everythings coming up milhouse!

If you've lost your faith in love and music the end won't be long.


Man.... im really bad at this. I always say im not gonna let it die off but i do. ah well not like anyone really reads this anyways.


So anyways. Im not gonna even bother updating because we'd both be here for longer than is comfortable for both of us... or...a whole bunch of you? whatever.

Yeah so I'm really into The Strokes and The Vines lately, If you ever get the chance give them a listen oh and also Bright eyes. there very intresting. weird style

Its come to me that i love music more than life itself... I seriosly dont know what i would do with out it. I dont think its possible... seriosly i think id grow more insane than i am now. Its weird that music is such a big part of my life. i think i spend at least half of my day listening to come form of music. itslike a safe kind of high for me. i think music should be considerd a drug. but dont make it illegal or anything or that would suck.
ok im rambling so i think im gonna stop.

Yeah so, whats this about minus weather and snow im april and may huh? saskatchewan is WEIRD! global warming my eye...snow in october...snow in april. i think mother nature is getting senil and is forgetting that winter isnt supposed to be in any of those months...WAKE UP GRANDMA IS SPRING TIME!
