Insert Clever Title Here

Hey,
You know when you're typing and you see the little blinky vertical line that shows you where you are on the screen, do you ever want to just hit it? I do. Sometimes.

I'm not sure how to start this. I guess I should just start typing...

On Wednesday my best friend Austin, whom I hadn't seen in over a year, b/c he lives in Rolla, dang it, came over for the night. After watching one of the funniest movies ever until 11, we layed in the dark and talked about deep stuff for long time. He's good at that.

Friday, I played frisbee in the hot hot hot hot hot sun for 4 hours. During that time, I received one of the most cutting insults I've ever gotten.

Drumroll, please.

papapapapapapapa....

Ashton: "You look like you like Country music."
Zach: "No, no, no! Please stop, don't tell me that!"

She insisted that I did. That made me very sad. Everything I do to my appearance is to make people think I'm not a good ol country boy who likes his Alan Jackson. I'm gonna have to turn it up a notch. I wonder if I should bring back my fohawk... Prollly not, that looked kinda dumb.

I'll think of something.

Saturday, our church rented out a gym, so I played basketball in the hot gym for forever. Good stuff. Earlier that day I had push mowed our large yard, so my legs are wasted. Sore.

Luke wants me to tell you that we now have cows. Mini Cows. Called Irish Dexters.

Sunday, our group wasn't having church and we thought we called everyone and told them that. We didn't. So Travis and Kyla came over and just hung out for a while. Kyla is a member of one of seven families in the world who have triplets and quads. And I know her. Oooooh. I can tell you're jealous

A week from today I'm going to see Kutless with Garrett at the fair. I'm pumped.

I was thinking this morning that when something kinda looks like something else we say, "just squint your eyes and it really does!" Well, we need to make something up for when something kinda sounds like something else. Such as "just squint your ears and it really does!"

That's the kind of stuff that goes thru my brain on a regular basis. Yeah.

I'll see you at the phunny pharm.

Be God's

hey.
you don't look country good greif! what was she thinking?!!
no....you look like you popped outa st Louis or some place like that. i remember austin. he killed that one bird....
of course you already know that.

i decided to comment on your last post on this post.


HELLO!!!!?
what kind of wedding do you think your girl will want??!!
alittlegettogether?

NO!
i think every girl wants a special wedding and by just suggesting that you have a little thing....
ok. some girls have to agree with me on this one.
please. i agree that love is increadibly important. but there has to be some other factors as well. kt....u agree w/ me don't you?

oh yeah....
this is molly....somehow my name is gone...oh well.

Well I do think there ought to be more of a schedule. But I wouldn't want a huge fancy ordeal. Who wants to start out married life with a ridiculous debt that isn't necessary? A little flowers, dress, suit and cake, seating...is fine.
And no you do not dress like a country boy =)

Well I could say something about you not dressing like a hick. I should say something about that. But I won't. lol. Molly- I'm diggin' the display name... haha.

I just realized that blogger has become homeschool central. Nothing wrong wit' that. Just seriously, think about it. THE HOMESCHOOLERS HAVE TAKEN OVER! Maybe I should get a myspace or something. I'm not sure I'm welcome here, going to real school and all...

end.friend.garrett.fuzzysquirrel.random.im bored.

i hope nobody thinks I dress like a hick. i'm so paranoid. i wear converse and faded jeans... hopefully that counts...

Zach!! how ya doin man... hey i was wondering if u could do me a really big favor?? could you possibly log into my blog account and set me up with a cool template? Ya.. i know that ur probably thinking, dude, get a grip and do it yourself, but i just cant figure it out... i mean i now how to mess with htmls on my myspace, but for sum reason this is different. so anyways. If u could do that for me you’d be like the coolest guy ever! so i've sent you an email sumwhere givng you my log in address and password and the html code that I would like u to fix me up with! So anyways if u could do that for me that would be amaxing! But if u cant that’s ok too, ill just like never talk to u again… lol j/k.. Thanx ttyl

-matt fugitt

Molly, First of all, try to do one ginormous comment instead of 87 litle ones. Pretend I'm your brother and it's annoying me and I"m telling you to stop.
Now I'm zach again.
Maybe I'm looking for the kind of girl who is a little bit more into just hanging out than big expensive ceremonies. Of course, I'll prolly be able to find her, it'll just be the old hag of a mother in law that goes with her that'll screw the whole thing up...
Unfortunately, yes, homeschoolers are taking over. A lot of homeschoolers annoy me, so I hope it doesn't go to much farther...
Garrett, what with "build it and they will come"?
Matt,
I'll do that the next time I'm on a good interent conection. No, I don't think you're crazy, b/c I had people do that for me before I figured it out...

it's random. from the movie "field of dreams". i'll change it.

there you happy with my display name now? deas vail album.

Zach, saying that you "look like you would like Country music" and saying that "you look like a country kid" are to tolally different things. I know a lot of people who definately don't 'look country' but still like country music.
P.S. Don't let what Ashton says bother you, I'm sure she didn't mean it as an insult.

i didn't mean i wanted a huge cerimony.

i meant there has to be a little more than just....u know.

am i annoying u? im a homeschooler.

i can see that you're dissapointed that all the new comments r totally frum me.

but your not my bro. brother. brethren?

garrett. u dont dress like a hick.

Molly, you are my new stalker.

Your mom is a shrubbery.

Oh I also just bought the Deas Vail cd. good luck on your test. are you coming Friday?

dang molly you might wanna get into your display settings and change your display name.

Hey Zach! thanks for the comment! I saw Pricilla the other day and I realized I hadn't talked to you or her in forever. =)

Danya <><

WHAT IS FEDISH WITH NOT WANTING TO LOOK COUNTRY!!!!!!! I mean, think how much easier it would be on our parents to live in town!! A lot less gas spent going to and from work, not having to do all the shopping at once because the store is right up the street, not spending half of your life driving places because everything is close, etc.....
Everyone that I know that lives in town wishes they were in my place and could live in the country where there is room to play out of doors, a creek to splash in, and where you can see the stars at night. I have never had anyone guess that I was/am from the country just because of how I dress, but even if they do, just get over it!!! You are going to be stereotyped all of your life, for your religion, your upbringing, your music, your choices, everything!! Besides that how do you get "you dress like you are from the country" out of "you look like you like country music"???? Give me a break!!! Sounds like someone was trying to be polite and start a conversation, not call you (or anyone else who would jump to a like conclusion) a hick. And as for the blogging world being taken over by the homeschoolers, what’s wrong with that? Maybe it is just a hint of things to come!

A homeschooled country child!!!

PLEASE!!!! Everytime I write something, everyone thinks I'm making a huge deep statement. I'm just blogging, not being deep or incredibly real or anything.
The blog is surface, take nothing seriously, unless I tell you otherwise.

Just a Thought:
What you write on your blog is what a lot of people think you are. If you write it, and they see it, that's their picture of you. Maybe that's why they take it seriously.

Maybe some people should leave the blogging world and talk to people in real life. Just a thought.

I mean, yes, people believe what they read-- but what they read isn't the only thing in a person. I don't think what people blog should be taken so seriously; it's only a sort of journal, not a personality test.

Stickin' up for ya Zach lol. You seem to get in trouble alot for things that seem real trivial. In my humble opinion.

Oh yes and whoever ANONYMOUS is, I think that homeschoolers are taking over blogger and that might be a bad thing. All I know is recently I've been seeing this really weird convergence, I guess, this massing of the, well, masses, on blogger. It seems that many use this as the only tool to communicate. If that's the way you're going to approach it (the internet being the only way to communicate), get a facebook.

I'm not sure why I'm bringing this up now, and I can't really explain how I'm thinking about it. Don't murder me, and please leave comments!

So what happens when what is lived in real life, and what is blogged as a "trivial" thing, agree? See, some of us do get out in real life and talk to people, and when we witness reality in unity with what the blog says, it is very disturbing. And, oddly enough, when someone wants to know what someone else really thinks or feels, one of the quickest ways to do so is read the others journal or diary. I mean, isn't that why kids are always hiding them from their parents? i.e. "I hope mom/dad never reads this because it has my deepest darkest secrets and thoughts in it". So, in theory, the statement that "a blog is like a journal, so it shouldn't be taken so seriously" dosen't hold true.

As for the blogger vs. facebook comment, take a step back and look at what you are saying.

"It seems that many use this [blogger] as the only tool to communicate. If that's the way you're going to approach it (the internet being the only way to communicate), get a facebook."

How does that work? The whole thing is based on personal preference. It's like saying that if you are going to go to the trouble of writing a letter to someone, you ought to use snail-mail instead of e-mail because it is so much more personal. Or even, "if you are only going to make pudding for dessert, you need to make chocolate instead of vanilla".
Just because facebook is the new fad (remember when the big thing was to get a blogspot?), doesn't mean it's the only/best way to communicate online. It is all a matter of what you prefer. My personal opinion is that anyone who uses only the internet to communicate with others, needs to get a life, regardless of wether they are homeschooled or not.

The country kid again.

NO MORE ARGUING on my blog! Please!

BLW, I don't have a blog because I do like "The real world". But if it's a blog, isn't it there to get other opinions?

Zach, I'll try not to argue too much more. :)

SM said...

That's BTW not BLW. Typeo.

OK Last comment. I meant 'get a facebook' to speak to those who desire to NOT get out in 'real life'. I am NOT pinpointing ANYONE. All I am saying is that facebook is more practical for that sort of thing. I didn't even think I'd have to defend that part of my comment; it wasn't a very serious sentence. I'm gonna quit arguing now :D.

Last Last comment: I think that blogger should never be taken seriously. To those that write things on their blogs that they wouldn't want their parents to find out about, my parents read mine regularly. It's just what they do. I have learned never to take it seriously, write down what you did today, what you like, and things you enjoy doing, and end it. Seriousness is not something, for lack of a better pun, to be taken lightly, at least on the internet. Now I'm really done. Zach, make another post so people quit looking at my comments and argue with me!

Please if you feel the need to argue, don't go to Zach's blog. Go to mine, just click on my name and it'll take you to my profile. At the bottom it will give you my list of blogs, there's only one-- click on it and comment on my latest post with your arguements for this one.

garrett

hey.
it's your professional stalker.
garrett: get used to the homeschoolers taking over the blogging world. pretty soon, homeschoolers are gonna take over the whole world!!! lol!
yeah so zach. i'm gonna write you one,...big,....ginormous comment.
yeah so....who's "sm"? is it short for sam? i know its not my sam.
oh, and you want people to stop argueing on your blog?
you have such a variety of friends that .....HELLO!!!
earth to mr.Z-man!!!!
of course you're going to have conflict. people can't talk to each other w/o having different points of veiws. think of it this way. you....yes you. there in the front row....sitting at the computer. your blog is the hangout "chatting" place that people visit. soo....when people comment, they want a response...and conversation. and you can't get response or conversation without some kinda "animated dialogue" (other wise known as .....argueing.
'nuff said.
