WHITE CHRISTMAS IN GREENSBORO!

ITS CHRISTMAS!!!! and I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

Here's my favorite Christmas Carol:

One place I've always wanted to go to for Christmas. Rockefeller Center NYC:

My favorite Christmas Poem:

THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMASby Clement Clarke Moore
or Henry Livingston


'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,

In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;

And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,

Had just settled down for a long winter's nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,

And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,

So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof

The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,

And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;

A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,

And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes -- how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,

And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;

He had a broad face and a little round belly,

That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,

And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;

A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,

Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,

And laying his finger aside of his nose,

And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,

And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."



This year more than other years I have realized how many traditions the Herndon Family has. Its crazy! Let me just tell you about what my passed two days have looked like. First, it is important to know we have a schedule for everything. Yesterday my mom worked in the morning and the rest of my family went out on the town while I was asleep. When I woke up I rummaged around the house and waited for everyone to come home. 
When my sisters got home we played a game of Blockus. Of which I lost badly... I will say it was the first time I hadn't won in the couple years we've been playing, and since I haven't lost (I also won UNO). Board games are a big part of our family, anytime we're together we always play some sort of game. It is always very competitive even if no one admits to it. But back to Christmas! After the games and my mom got home we went over the schedule and set off for our first candlelight service from 6-6:45. After the candlelight service we went and looked at Christmas lights and actually got on the news, while the adults came home and started the fondu. When we got home we ate Fondu and prepared to open our stockings. Before stockings my mom read us The Night Before Christmas both of which are normally saved for Christmas morning but this year Santa came early since my mom had to work at 7am this morning. 
After stockings we sat around for a little bit and then got ready to go to the 11pm candlelight service at Westminster (my favorite tradition). We got home around 12:30 and I started wrapping my presents. One rule of in the Herndon household is that all presents must be under the tree in time for the first person who wakes up will be able to see them. Most presents are snuck downstairs in the middle of the night at different times, so when we wake up on Christmas Morning it is truly a sight to be seen!
On Christmas morning usually start with stockings, not the case this year. And then we have brunch, always with eggs benedict and usually sticky rolls. This year we just had brunch when we all woke up and then played games. When My mom gets home we will eat a big dinner and then open presents.

Traditions are so fun! I enjoy my families traditions and look forward to someday having my own. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you feel loved today!

12/22

I've been learning a lot on break. Its been really restful and pretty slow. For a couple nights I had things to do but during the day for the most part I just sleep, read, and eat. I finished my book, Blue Like Jazz, yesterday shortly after waking up around 1.

The main thing I've been learning and processing this break has been that I am incomplete. I have this feeling that there is a hole deep in my soul that I have tried to fill. Its an area that the Lord has recently exposed, I have been putting my hope in people, seeking their approval and attention. Thinking that if I can have them love me than it will fill this hole. When in actuality, I need to focus more of my attention on the Lord and seeking his approval and love. He is the only thing that will bring me lasting peace and lasting fulfillment.

I was thinking about his Love, and I wondered if I would ever get bored of him, or he of me. I wondered if we would be able to have a conversation together in person. I kind of thought that he would probably dominate it. I figure he would probably have a lot to say, he would always have the right answers, he would always have the coolest facts like how many hairs everyone in the room had on their heads.... I'm kind of ashamed to say this but I thought it might be exhausting trying to keep up, I wouldn't have anything to say that he didn't already know. But the more I think about it the more I realize how that isn't true at all. His love for me is great. In truth we don't have anything to prove to God, he delights in us and loves us despite ourselves. I've thought about it but never in this way. I don't know how I didn't see it earlier, I know I've heard it all before. There are people that I could sit with all day and never get bored, I genuinely care about what they are saying, thinking, feeling. If this goes both ways and the other person feels the same way of me that will make for an awesome conversation and time together. If that is the picture of an imperfect love between two people imagine experiencing the same thing with a God whose love is perfect!  If we were sit down for a cup of coffee he wouldn't talk just about himself. He is so in love with me he would want to hear everything I had to say, he would listen intently. We would have an active conversation. But it would go the other way to, I should be so in love with God that I should be able to listen to him all day and just be entranced by his wisdom, love, power, glory, splendor, righteousness, beauty, and magnificence. This is how I think we need to approach prayer and our relationship with God. It is a RELATIONSHIP. This relationship is what I've been looking for, it is the only thing that is going to fill the hole. And until I am totally satisfied in my relationship with Christ I won't be satisfied with any other relationship here on earth.

I'm still sorting through a lot of stuff. But I am sure that the Lord is moving within me! None of it is bad, its rather exciting. Pray that I am able to process everything and put it into action in my life. If you would like to know more about what I've been learning please call me. I had a hard time making it all reader friendly, I didn't know how to write it down and have it make sense.

Old Email

Here's an old email I was looking at its talking about when I got baptized. I made an outward confession of my inward faith. I will always be able to look back and say that September 13, 2009 was when I stepped up and gave myself wholly to Christ.

Hey Everybody!

As some of you may know I've been praying a lot about getting baptized sometime soon... I decided on the 13th of September, which is next Sunday. I've realized if I keep waiting to get baptized until I have everything together I'm never going to take that step. My baptism is a way for me, as imperfect that I may be, to make a public declaration of my relationship with Christ. I decided to wait to be baptized until school started back up because I wanted the people who are around me everyday encouraging me and spurring me on towards Christ (you all) to be there. I just found out my parents will not be able to come, but they encouraged me to go on with it because they knew I would be surrounded and loved by so many of my closest friends. So if you are able I would love it if you all could be there! Its going to be this Sunday after the service at Banner Elk. I'm not sure if its going to be before or after college lunch. And Oh yeah its college lunch! So you'll get free food to! Ha

A word of encouragement/Challenge:
A couple weeks ago I was laying in bed praying/thinking, I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about something Sue (lady who sings at church) told me. She told me she had a picture that God wanted her to share with me. She said there is a beautiful empty glass, and then out of nowhere there was water being poured into it, the water filled the cup full and then to overflowing. She looked at me and said that I was the empty cup and the water was the Holy Spirit filling me to full to overflowing. When I heard this I kind of blew it off, what did that have to do with me? The only reason I was crying was because my granddad just died, I'm already a Christian, I'M A YOUNGLIFE LEADER! I've got my stuff together. The more I thought about it that next week the more I realized how broken I was and how many burdens I had been pilling up and letting them weigh me down. I realized how much I really did need to be filled with the Holy Spirit, how much I had been trying to do everything on my own, I was so tired and overwhelmed. As I thought about all this it was kind of depressing, here I am a beautiful, but still empty glass; now what? I remember laying there feeling sorry for myself one night when I remember the second part of Sue's picture. She said I was going to be filled! Filled to full to overflowing! I had been focused on the first part of the picture that I forgot the second part! The part that offered hope and redemption! I suddenly had an overwhelming sense of peace, then I heard a whisper of someone saying "something big is coming". SOMETHING BIG IS COMING! 

That story was a long intro to what has been on my heart to share with all of you all, for those of you who read this far... We are going to be part of something big a GOD thing. Our leader retreat got me soooo excited about this upcoming school year. We have a chance to do something big this year and be a part of an awesome community. We need to be encouraging each other, spurring each other on towards Christ, holding each other accountable, praying for each other and with each other, loving each other, praying to be filled with the Holy Spirit, we need to be lights of Christ to our high school, middle school, and college friends, we need to have a sense of pride in our community but also be accepting and loving to the people outside our community. All of this may sound like a lot but its really not us doing all these things its Christ in us, he will give us the strength if we ask him, "all we have to do is show up." 

My prayer for us is that we will all be filled to overflowing, that we will honor Christ in our relationships with each other and the people around us, that people will see us and recognize us as Christians and wonder why we are so different and where our joy comes from. Our joy comes from him who lives inside us! Something BIG is coming but its not going to be because of us, its going to be because of the living God inside of us! Get excited! 

Although my words may not be the most extravagant and thought out, I pray that I said something you all needed to hear. I will admit a lot of writing this was for me just to get it out of my heart and down on paper. I hope this was encouraging know that I love all of you SO much and this year is going to be awesome! If you ever need anything please call me let me know and I will be happy to do anything I can for you! Y'all are the greatest! Have a blessed week! 

Your brother in Christ,
Nathaniel Frederick Herndon

Prayer

As I was falling asleep last night I began to pray. I prayed for my roommates in South Africa, for YoungLife, for my relationships -> for guidance, wisdom, patience, and trust in those relationships. I asked that my will would be in line with what the Lords plan for my life is. All good things that definitely need prayer. But thats when I stopped. I asked the Spirit to fill me with his desires. That I would be able to feel his presence. A lot of times I pray with my mind made up, I have a plan for how things need to go or should be going. I make it about me and not about the Lord working in me or what he is trying to teach me. I don't trust, I don't wait, I just do and ask for his blessing after the fact. Lately I have been trying to not pray out of selfish motives, but wait on the Lords presence and see where he is leading. It is really hard for me to slow down and wait. Isn't it better to wait on something that is perfect rather than on something you can think up that is ultimately going to fail if its not the Lords will?, Sometimes I wish I could see the bigger picture and know exactly what is going to happen, where I'm going to end up. The only problem with that is it doesn't require faith. If we knew what was going to happen how we were going to end up we would have no need for a God or savior. We could do everything on our own and have no need for a savior. The cool thing about trust is that we aren't in control, we have to humble ourselves and let the Lord work in us teaching us all along the way. I'm not the best at letting go, I'm probably closest to the worst. I have been praying that the Lord would grant me peace in his will and that I would be okay with the outcome. I know he has the best in store for me, his track record is flawless, he has the ability to change my heart, and he will if thats what is needed.

"The Lord is good and his timing is perfect." It may not be exactly how I want it but its exactly how God planned it and it is what is best for me.

Another thing about prayer: {We can talk to the God of the universe} is that not crazy?! Its not because of anything that we have done or could ever do. But its because of God's Holy Spirit that is dwelling within us who make us holy and blameless in the eyes of the Lord. And if you didn't know, the reason we got dis Holy Spirit is cuz of dis guy named JESUS who died for our sins. Holla at me if you ain't know. Now excuse me, I gots to get my tree fed.

Cell Phone

Over the passed couple days I have been loosing my cell phone like nobodys business. Probably about 3 times a day. Today I lost it and was looking for it for over 30 minutes... What's happening to me? Its okay I haven't missed any calls because of it. I have since turned my phone on Loud. Hopefully this won't become a pattern and I can move on with my normal daily life.

I'm in the middle of a battle royal with one of my professors over one of my grades... Wish me luck. Its not looking too good for me.

Home

It was nice pulling into my neighborhood and seeing my house all lit up with candles in all the windows and a Big reef hanging on our door for Christmas. I walked in and saw this tree in the living room which reminded me of Charlie Brown's Christmas...

It will be nice to be able to brush my teeth, wash my face, and wear deodorant that I'm not allergic to. I forgot to bring these 3 things back up to Boone with me after Thanksgiving break. If you didn't know I can't wear deodorant that is white or else I break out... John had a couple extra sticks but they were all white Axe deodorant stick, I used it but it made me break out. So its nice being home, having my deodorant, and not having itchy arm pits.

God sighting at Murphy's Express

Last night on my way back to Greensboro I stopped for gas in Wilksboro. As I was filling up my tank a high school aged girl came up to me and asked if I had any money to spare for gas. She said she was having a really bad day and they (her and her dad(?)) didn't have any money for gas. They were driving a beat up old brown plymouth which apparently had a 13 gallon gas tank... I told her I would be happy to put some gas in her car and to consider it a Christmas present. As I pumped her gas I asked her if she was in school anywhere and other generic questions. I noticed she had a black eye that she tried to cover up with make up and I got the feeling that she wasn't in the best situation. The man driving didn't even get out of the car or thank me or even wave when they drove off. The girl asked if I would buy her some food but when I said yes she said never mind and got in the car.

As I drove home over the next next hour and a half I couldn't help but think of this girl. Had I done enough? The entire time I was pumping gas I had the feeling I needed to be doing something more, I just couldn't think of what to do. Looking back, I didn't even ask her name, I wanted to ask if I could pray for her which I normally do, but I didn't. I was really convicted and still am about how much I have, how blessed I am, and how much I take it for granted. Who am I? How can I have so much and look over it so often? Home girl shouldn't have to ask for hand outs, she should be enjoying life being a high schooler, worrying about boys and whatever else high school girls worry about.

If I had another chance at talking to her I would first ask if she needed anything else, if I could help her with anything. But then I would have told her how beautiful she is, and how loved she is. I would tell her how she is a princess and her father in heaven looks down on her and delights himself in her. I would tell her that she had been bought at a price, that God had paid her ransom with the blood of his own son. And that she was totally worth it in Gods eyes. I would tell her to demand respect and hold her head up high. Then I would have asked if I could pray for her and her family, and I would pray for them on the spot.

Is it enough to do working without love? I'm not saying I had a bad attitude or wrong motives for pumping their gas. I'm glad I had the opportunity to be able to bless them in that way and I believe that moment was ordained and I trust that the Lord is going to work through it, I know he is teaching me things about myself through it. BUT we need to be careful when doing works that we aren't doing them simply because its what we feel we should be doing. We need, I need, to be sensitive to the Spirit. Pumping that families gas was just an opening for me to have expressed Gods love. Don't get comfortable doing one thing, that one thing may be great, but maybe there is something else that could be done. I don't know if I'm making sense to anyone but myself... But, Don't just do things because you think its the right thing to do, pray, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit leading, have a heart for love, thank God for giving you the chance to impact his kingdom.

I've been reading Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray. The last chapter I read was talking about love and the Holy Spirit. It talks about the love that Jesus displayed for everyone because of the Holy Spirit... The same spirit that dwells within us. Key word being SAME. If we have the same Spirit dwelling within us as Jesus did and its a spirit of love. Then shouldn't we have the same love for people that Jesus did? We need to open our hearts to the moving of the Holy Spirit within us and learn to love like Jesus. Slow down, be filled, go out of your way to love someone, and when you are be sensitive to the Spirit within you and ask how you can love them better. Buy someone groceries, fill up their car with gas, buy them a meal, sit and talk with someone, find any excuse to show Gods love for someone! It will bless your socks off.

Looking forward to slowing down and being filled by the Lord over this break. Spending time by myself is going to be good for me. I can't wait to see what big things the Lord has in store for me. He is in control and his timing is perfect. He knows what he's doing.

These passed couple days have been exactly what I needed. The snow has forced everyone to slow down. It has great not having a schedule or having to worry about getting work done. I've been driving around in the snow and doing doughnuts and such! Whoop Whoop

Tonight Hopefully we're going to have a little get together here at the beach house... Take two. We'll see how it goes. There have been so many different parties over the passed week, its been so great to see all my friends from different groups all hanging all being friends.

I brought up my idea for a my first sons name (Admiral) at the Hott House and received some good responses! Very encouraging.

Apology

I feel like I need to apologize to all my dedicated followers and my closet followers... I haven't made a proper post in a couple days. I don't know what you all have been talking about if its not my most recent blog post. I now have 2 followers... I did have 3 until I realized I was following my own blog. I still haven't quite figured it out.

I've been watching a lot of Dave Barnes videos on youtube recently. Christmas Extravaganza "Whats that? OOO hey flounder sorry I haven't called in a while..."

Quotes:
Angus - "I like it I just can't see myself wearing Abercrombie and Fintch..."
Me - "It Fitch, its not a bird."
I wish life could be more like Extremedays.
Its been a while since I've experienced any sort of K.T.
Is that your breath or do I have a heater on my neck?

I was recently asked:
"Is there anything in life you can't relate to a Taylor Swift song?"
I had to respond the question with another question...
"Is there anything in life you can't relate to a Taylor Swift song?"

I really like my friends. I love being surrounded by people and I have a need to always have something going on, for better or worse. As much as I love my friends I have learned the value and the need to spend alone time and slow down. In the  passed couple days especially I've really realized how blessed I am with my friends. I feel like so many times I take the people in my life for granted. Its weird to think where we'll all be this time next year. Its really been hitting me that this season in my life is coming to an end. I've been making it a point to appreciate the people in my life and soak it all in while I can. As I'm entering the end of this season I am becoming more aware of the people in my life and how special they are.

Praying for patience, guidance, wisdom, and a peace over my heart. TRUST! Goodness gracious. I feel like I'm in such transition. Its a great time because I'm being stretched and learning to trust, I feel like every time I turn around I'm learning something new or being reminded of something.  But at the same time its hard facing uncertainty. Its good to know that the Lord has my life in his hands! WHOOP WHOOP! WAKKA WAKKA!

Goodnight thoughts

I'm not claiming to be a genius but... I did something really smart today. After walking home from Raley in the snow I took my boots off and turned them upside down on top of the heat vent. When I put my shoes back on to go out again they were warm and dry. It felt surreal. I also found a pair of wool socks in my drawer today!

What makes a moment blog worthy, or even in real life - worth talking about? I don't know. I don't even know why anyone would want to read my blog and a lot of times people don't like my stories... But the reason for them is; I really enjoy, enjoying life. I love recognizing the little things that happen to me durning the day. Awkward eye contact, talking with my roommates, making myself look dumb, the wonder of Gods creation, and so on. If we can't enjoy our days and laugh at ourselves sometimes what are we doing? Slow down, enjoy where you are. Your footsteps have been ordained and set before you. Don't take yourself too serious, do something stupid and laugh at yourself. Be yourself. Make the best of your situations. "God ain't never made a bad day, so I have no excuse to make it one."

One more thing... I dare you to do something nice for someone and don't seek recognition for it. Its SO fun! Random acts of kindness. It'll bless your socks off.
I GOT MY FIRST FOLLOWER! WHOOP WHOOP! Meoww Meoww! BARK BARK! HISSS HISSSSS! And its the last day of class... and my first 2 classes were cancelled... and its snowing outside! I have a feeling its going to be a great day.

Snowy Sunday

This morning after breakfast Carie Reeb came over and joined me, Josh, and John for a little devo of sorts. None of knew what it was going to look like and no one had anything prepared but it turned out to be so encouraging. It turned out that we were for the most part thinking and praying through the same things. We were able to encourage each other and speak truth into each others lives. We talked through trusting in the Lord, a common theme in my life lately, and we also talked through being content and waiting upon the Lord. Carie used an example of Davids promise of being king of Israel and the time he had to wait on this promise. Along with trust and waiting on the Lord we talked about faith, how the trials we are walking through now are refining us and shaping us into the person the Lord desires us to be. As we walk through uncertainty we can be certain that the Lord has a purpose for it and he is working it out in our life. He has plans for us, plans for good and hope. We also talked about praying, praying for the Lord to change our hearts, that we would be sensitive to his spirit within us. We talked about the only thing that make us presentable to God is his grace through Christ's sacrifice and the Holy Spirit that dwells within us. Grace is a cornerstone of our faith, without grace we would be still stuck in sin. As we go through this week it is important to focus on the Lords promises for our lives, to not stress or worry about the future but to trust in him, as Carie said looking back his track record is flawless who are we to think he is going to stop providing for us in the future. Our best days and our blessed days are in front of us. As you can tell there was a lot said, it was so great to see how the Spirit lead and how our time together was ordained by the Lord, he had us all there for a reason.

Quotes from Scott brought on by John asking Scott for some chocolate silk...
Chocolate Silk, its better than chocolate drink.
Yoohoo why are you trying to gag me?
Why be happy, you're just going to be sad again?

Last night, as the regrets slowly came in, my First Snow Party turned into a Nate and Scott hang out.  It was perfect night, the lights down low, Amy Grant Christmas playing in the background, the fire on the big screen crackling, a Better Homes and Garden Apple Cider candle burning on the coffee table, a competitive game of Yatzee, and of course a random person sleeping on our couch.
Yatzee started out not so great as opened the box I saw the scores from the last time I had played, I had been beaten pretty handily by both Kyle and Alison, both beating me by 100 points. I gave Scott my loosing card and took Kyles card, the winning card from my previous loss. It didn't help... after the final tally Scott beat me by one point. Unheard of.
After Yatzee we started watching Home Alone 2 Lost in New York. We watched that for a while, until our friend woke up and left, he didn't say much... We later found out his name is Jordan, he knows Charles and John. We left to drive around where we helped two people get unstuck, the first group of guys all had 40s. They told us if we were going to the bars they would buy us a drink; (a pick up line I thought was used for picking up girls in the club) needless to say, we weren't interested...
All in all it was a great night. Hopefully my next snow party will work out as well as last night did, and maybe more people will get to experience it. I do have 30 packs of hot chocolate mix ready to go.

Hamburger helper tonight if anyone cares to join me!

First Snow

So today was the first "real snow" in Boone this year! So to celebrate I'm having a couple people over... It may end up just me watching Home Alone drinking 30 packs of hot coco alone. Which I am totally okay with. I've been learning that it isn't always necessary to be surrounded by people although I do throughly enjoy it. Tonight, whether with people or by myself I plan on...

1) Watching Home Alone
2) Playing my fire DVD on a continuous loop in the fireplace
3) Burning my apple cider Better Homes candle
4) Listening to Mariah Carey Merry Christmas
5) Drinking Hot coco
6) Cutting out paper snowflakes

Cannot wait. Let the festivities begin.

12/4

Best thing that happened to me today... I found a button on the road the says "you're a jerk -new boyz" I haven't put it on my book bag yet, but it is sure to make an appearance. Second best thing that happened to me to day has to be the fire dvd I bought at Wal-Mart, its so relaxing. I plan on reading many a leather bond book with it playing in the background.

Things that I've been made fun of for this week:
-having a blog with Zero followers
-wearing my winter jacket
-my umbrella
-being a suck up -Holly Scott
(I'm sure there are others... If you would like to remind me of them then... You're a jerk.)

I've been thinking about jobs after I graduate and as I was reading through the job description at the Grove Park Inn I came across this...


"While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to stand for long periods of time; use hands to finger, handle, or feel; and talk or hear. The employee frequently is required to reach with hands and arms. The employee is occasionally required to walk; sit; and stoop, kneel, or crouch. The employee must frequently lift and/or move up to 10 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds. Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus."

I think I meet all the requirements...

12/1

This morning I was the third person to take a shower upstairs. Not a big deal, besides the fact that water condenses on our ceiling and begins to drip after about the first shower and half. Its amazing how one drop of cold water can ruin an entire shower...


While I was in the shower I remembered the time:
I killed a duck with a basketball. Some may ask how you can kill a duck with a basketball... It was not my intent, I was simply trying to scare it. It didn't die right away either. It just broke its leg trying to fly away and was unable to fly after that. It eventually starved to death. I felt horrible.

In high school me and my hoodlum friends went through a bit of graffiti phase. My trademark was a Gatoraide sign, but instead of saying Gatoraide it said Natoraide.


Random thoughts for the day:
-Where does the wind start? -Scott Meadows
-When I breath I get a sharp pain in my back, is that bad?
