Last night...well I guess it was this morning...I had a really bad time with a headache. It was a migrane and I get a lot more then my shares of them. This one was annoying because, it was 2:35 ish in the morning and I couldn't sleep, felt like my head was slowly tearing into 2 and....the best way to describe it...was that it was like having an axe....durried to it's handle and running down to the spot between my eyes...I still had some of the medicine pain killer that I got when I had my surgery...so I took that. We ended up calling the doctor. He was supprised that the medicine wasn't doing anything...because it's one of the srtongest PERSCRIPTION medications. So he said to give me these 2 other pills and see if I blacked out and rested. Luckly I did. He said that had I not he would have had to have me go to his office...stick an IV in my arm, and hype me up on Morphine, that's what the doctor said...he said he thought it was...I can't remember it's name something that had to do with hurting to move your head too. He said that could be serious. Now I think he/we think it's some sort of West Nile....or something....we're still not sure and it still hurts to walk fast and stand suddenly and cough. I slept till 3:00 this afternoon so it really doesn't feel like it's 9:20ish at night...More like 9:20ish at morning. Since I try to wake up early to gop running and stuff....Anyway That's what's going on here.Wow......I feel dizzy.....

O.k. So last Friday and Saturday we had youth conference. It was REALLY fun. We went to a camping ground near Leadville and did a lot of fun stuff. We left Castle Rock at about 7:30 Friday morning. We got to the Campground at about 10:30ish. we set up tents(was a pain because most of the girls didn't know how...all but like 2)and then we had to help them but that I guess was o.k. Then we went down back into Leadville, it was interesting because we were going to paint a playground and it turned out some of us(not me) got more paint on ourselves then the playground. So then we went back to camp and split into 2 teams, white and Black. White was my team, I was the captain. Now we had to take a canoo and catch one of the leaders in the kayack(spelling?)and get a key from him. Race to the beach and open the lock on the treasure chest. Inside was a list of scaverger hunt items once we found them we had to show all of them to a leader and then *evil laugh* we got a BUNCH of squirt guns...the other team captain and me had a patch on our clothes or that could be given to another player, where if it was hit with water it would dissentagrate. I gave mine to Cameron so that I could chase down Lindsey, that was their team captain. Well after 1/2 an hour, I had tripped over 3 roots and I was on the beach almost had her and my knee dislocated when it shifted on the sand...Well...the next day we were to climb Mt. Elbert a 14er, 14,000 ft mt. it's the biggest one in colorado but my stupid pride wouldn't let my bad knee get in the way. I had climbed 2 other 14ers and I wasn't going to miss the Biggest one in Colorado. So I went up the mountain, taking breaks when my knee needed and wearing a knee brace and carrying a big stick...to help climb with of course. So It just so happened that I was 6th to reach the top in our group which is kinda sad. I mean they took longer then Gimppy, me, and I took my time getting there. So then I left becasue with the snow and wind it was cold on top and my knee was starting to act up again so I had to get down I'd been their for 30 mins. about and needed to go back. Jo Neverez and Dani Houser were ready to go back too. So I went down following them. Going down was a lot easier, I gave the stick to another in our group becasue he rolled his ankle and still wanted to go up. His choice, and 2 other people hurt their knees, one fell and mashed it on a rock and the other was an older leader with a bad knee....so he really doesn't count as a casaulity. Then we came back and got home about 7:00pm on Saturday. Did I say that we had to get up at 2:30 to get ready to climb Mt. Elbert? Well we did and it wasn't fun getting up that earily...maybe at 4 or so would have been better.

"Adults can be so strange. It's almost as if they have their own natural laws that have nothing to do with the rest of the natural laws the rest of us use. I had an uncle once who told me I was a Fool for playing D&D one whole weekend at Brenen Wysins' house, which might have been the truth becasue we almost got in a fight that night, when Brenen's elf got snarked by the dragon and he didn't have any spells to use , but later the same uncle played poker with my dad and some other guys all of one night and the next day and part of the next night all for pennies, and when he was done, he had lost 60 cents and said he had fun even though his eyes looked like 2 glowing cigar ends. So who was foolish? At least I didn't loose 60 cents, and my elf didn't get snarked.

Our Internet has been down for a week or so...so I have quite a lot to say...Last Saturday (June 5th) I had my Eagle Court of Honor. I Had it with my older brother and when I had to talk about how I felt about Scoutting...I cried, Yeah I know but there is a country song about when tough little boys grow up how they turn into big babbies, too true it is. I was really mad about it at first, not the crying part but about when we were trying to set it up. The first week we wanted we couldn't do it then, because they were re-flooring the gym's wood floor. So We signed up for June 5th...They said it would be o.k. but when we got there, 20 or so rolls of carpet each probably about 100ft. long were in the gym, where we were going to have it. With 40 BIG cans of carpet glue. So we had to move all that, Then after we get all that moved a man comes in after we've set up the chairs saying that we can't use them becasue they could scratch the floor up but that he would call his suporvisor and ask him. Luckly it turned out he was full of B.S. (abvriated cuz I've never cussed it just doesn't have the impact otherwise) and it was fine. So other then that it was really good.....lets see what else....Then I went with Curtis and the Missionaries to have lunch yesterday and we went to Pizza Hut. YUM!;)It was berry berry good. So then we went to Sam's house and played Baseball, for nine innings only 2 outs an inning. We were up for almost the whole game by two runs. Then they hit it hard and ralled and went up by three. Then they poped out. So we had one inning to catch up and then put in a few more (enough to make sure we win) So...for the first time in FOREVER.....I strike out trying to bunt!!I think I pulled it back in time but they said that I didn't. So grrr...but then we had a guy on and I was up again (we only had teams of 4)we were down by 2 now and I Pelted it, it went over the neighbors house and I pretty much walked home. So then it was tied, then Curtis got out. So tied game trying to press for a re-match (I had to leave) Luckly we held them so...Now we've got a re-match set up on Wenesday. So...yep..Tomorrow I'm going camping sort of...

"Lying doesn't seem to be worth the effort. I once had a Phys. Ed. teacher who insisted I make up an hour of weight lifting I had missed by working it off 5 minutes a day after school. Well I'm not a weight lifting kind of guy, as a matter of fact I'm more of a weight putting down kinda person. I hate lifting weights, and it was silly the way he wanted the time made up . I'd have my friends wait in the hall then run in and lift like crazy for 5 minutes then again the next night, and the next. Finally, I skipped the last 4 or 5 or 6 sessions and told the teacher I had done them, and that would have been alright except that it ate at me and ate at me and ate at me. I must have come from a gene pool with a lot of guilt chromosomes. So I took to lifting weights on my own, when nobody was around. To kinda make up for lying, and once I started I kept at it, and I forgot how many sessions I had missed and I know I went way over. All tolled and added up I must have lifted over 12 tons for that one small lie. I might as well have told the truth and gotten the job done. I know my back would have liked it better, and what am I going to do with overdeveloped biceps?"

Well Yesterday I had my surgery. It didn't go as bad as I thought it would...one of the worst part was how when they were driving the titanium screw into my head. The doctors kept joking about how if they broke my sinus table how I'd be able to blow my nose threw my mouth. Which is kinda sick if you think about it...it's like, Hey wade I want to see your screw head, so I show them and then sneeze out my mouth all over their face...Yum! But they didn't break the table...just came within a 1/4 millimeter of doing it...Now I'm like Wolverene from the X-Men. I have titanium body parts. If you want to see just let me know If I know you...I'll show you it in my mouth and then I can show you the X-ray pic. I too. It didn't hurt yesterday now it's like 24 pills a day to keep my mouth from infection and No Pain pils...The worst part by far was when they drilled the screw into my head and I felt the Blood squirt out in a straight line and the cold oozy wetness of it smash and land in the back of my throat. It was NO fun...The doctor told me during it that eventually it would feel like someone was hitting my head with a hammer. I looked up and guess what he was doing...HE WAS hitting my head with a HAMMER!!!The Assistant saw me see the hammer and she said it will feel like he is hitting you in the head with a hammer because he is...It was interseting...And now it just hurts like a Grrrr.....

"Great discoveries don't always mean that much. I was there the day Jimmy Basken found that the dents in his skull were different from the ones in everybody elses skull. He figured he'd discovered a whole new way of identifying people. Like fingerprints they could do skull prints. He was amazed and ran around the school looking for different dents until, he grabed Moose Ackerman's head by mistake. Moose body contacted him almost completely through a Gym locker, And put two new dents in Jimmy's skull. And there went his great discovery. Jimmy figures if it was that easy to change the skull dent pattern his theory wouldn't hold up."

Well, I haven't written in a couple of days and a lot has happened. Today scares me becasue I go in for "surgery" today...I had to take lets see 12+4+3= 19 pills today to just get ready for it...Wish me luck...I went to another Mage Knight tournament yesterday. I could kick myself...I could have won 1st Place, but I rolled 2d6 and rolled a 1 on both, And because of that ONE roll I messed the intire round up. So I didn't win becasue of One Bad Luck...But that's ok it's still was fun, And I learned some new stragity stuff.
Lately there seems like their isn't A lot of things to do. I went rock climbing yesterday and that was REALLY fun...while I was there I taught 3 little kids some of the basis x of it too. So....

"I wanted to be a Jock for a long time. Espically when Cindy decided she liked Football Players, but I got my hands on my dad's High School yearbook and asked him what happened to all the football biggies. ALmost all of them are selling cars or running insurance agencies, except for one who some how ran over himself with a boat trailer. So I figured it wasn't worth it, even for Cindy."

It's hare to believe that so much of summer break has gone by already...May is over now and in just a few months(2) we'll be back in school...:( I built part of a house today...Well actually it's a house I started to re-finnish last summer, and I ran out of time and never finished. So now I'm trying to finnish it up this year. It's kinda agrivating though...Re-finnishing started out as my project and now a lot of people that I didn't think would get involved with it have and it's kinda changed hands...It doesn't seem like MY project as much as it use to. Which kinda makes me sad...after all it is my project. I don't want to do it all alone, so don't get me wrong...but sometimes I wish that it would be more my project not everyones ya know? Just seems like it's being taken over.

"Sometimes old wisdom isn't so good. I complained once about household chores, and my Father told me to sing and act happy when I did them, even if I didn't feel that way. That's what his grandfather told him to do. So the next time I edged the sidewalk I tried singing "Lala La" in time with my cutting strokes. As near as I can figure it didn't help at all..and I came within a half second of bieng nicknamed Lala Newton. As Tim Peterson came down the street from my rear and nearly caught me off guard."

In My journal I've decided to create a "food for though" Section. I'll add it at the end of every entry and attempt to take different people's quoted ideas and put them there. Today was quite srtange. I really can't understand Love...To me it seems that people who have it don't ever talk about it but they and everyone else knows it's there...But people who think they have love, tend to parade it off show it off and in the end just end up hurting each other and maybe ruining a perfectly good friendship. I've seen too many people destroyed by Love. The thing is if it doesn't work out, the two people can't ever seem to still be friends. Why is that? Is it such a horriable thing? No! People need to realize that just because the love they thought was there isn't or has run out, then you really weren't in love in the first place. This hasn't ever happened to me personally, that's exactly the reason I DON'T HAVE A GIRL FRIEND...But now I don't know...My older brother really seems to like this one girl...I don't like her that much she's bossy and inconsiderate. He seems to love her, but she seems to love him only some of the time. Lately she's been trying to "make it up to him" it seems by spending more time at our house with him. It's not like she's the devil or something, it's just that my caring older brother that I use to look up to suddenly turned into some monster that didn't exist before. His character has completely changed and I believe it may be something he doesn't come back from...I'm worried that he'll get hurt. He's my brother and I try to look out for him, but he's making it very difficult to do that. He doesn't any longer listen to my parents who (may not seem like it but do) have the wisdom that comes only from expierence of living a life, one that they want their child to be far from. Just think about it, How would you feel if your possitions were reversed? He doesn't listen to me or my other brothers either. He picks fights, and when she calls drops everything to talk to her. He's her obedient dog doing her will and everything she wants him to do. I really worry for him. I don't know how to bring him back to our family, and change him back into the man he was becomming before...Where does the time go....? It flows by so fast and now I have no idea of where it went the I do where his old personality went.

"Part of our problem is that we run around naming thing without asking it they want to be named. Then after we name them they don't know that they're named anyway. A Tree doesn't know it's a Tree. A Fish doesn't know it's a Fish. And if the Fish did know it would probably be upset by it. Who wants to be called Fish?"

Today I went with demon_overlord to a tournament for a game called Mage Knight. It was a two faction war, the Elementals aganist the Atlanian Empire. I fought for the Empire and our forces were compeletly crushed. I led the way into the battle as the commander with the most kills and greatest use of his troops. In the end the Elementals greater use of stratigy won out and the Empire went running. In the process of being almost completely distroyed I was able to teach 2 newcommers the main rules and side rules of the game, some basic stragity and help point them in the way to becoming Battle Masters. For this effort I was rewarded with the fellowship prize. A prize given to a person who gives his/her time to help teach a beginner the rules and also help "straighten" them out on minnor misunderstandings. Don't get me wrong it isn't like I joined Frodo on an Epic quest to destroy the ring in the fires of Mount Doom or anything like that....(As Cool as That Would Be), The wierd thing is that usally I'm a pretty good commander for Mage Knight, but today it was pretty much beattings left and right. I just wonder.....how cool would it be to be in THE Fellowship?!?! Crazy huh...
