WEell tomorrow I'm going to the University of Texas vs. Texas A&M game in Austin. I'm travelling up there w/ my bro and the ever famous and awesome Chris Riley and back with someone. I'm not sure just yet so...

Anyway - I'm gonna hit the sack soon, after I talk to my friend in Seattle - Caitlin.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE - and i'm thankful for each and every single one of you who read my blog. It means alot to me believe it or not, and I'm sorry when I dissapoint you with boring blogs, and I'm proud when I make you laugh or ponder deeper things.

Very Truly Yours,
Daniel

Well as i sit here let me tell you whats going on. Oasis is playing on Winamp and my bro is playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on NINTENDO 64! How awesome is that?! Well the Davis family came over and we enjoyed many good laughs and stuff with them. We went back to the Davis' and we got the N64 and had a few games of older vs. younger brothers in RUSH 2 - Extreme Racing USA and Goldeneye 007. WOW. I cant really write much more about it. It was such an amazing time - the memories - the good times - the 64 bits. WOW.
Anyway, I know that everyone has many types of traditions they do on Turkey Day, and one of ours has been for the past like 17 years or so is to cook our turkey in the oven inside of a paper bag. Evidently a long time ago someone suggested it to my mother and father and we've enjoyed rich, juicy turkey ever since.
Let me list some of the things I'm thankful for (in no particular order):
God, my family (mom brother dad), my other family - not in Houston, my best friends, all of my friends, my car, money, the Bible, music - of MANY kinds, football, soccer, golf, grass, outdoors, water, swimming, 70 degree weather, 30 cent wing night at BW3's, volleyball, food, my friends out of Texas (you know who you are)

Many of my college friends are getting in to town today. Some got into town yesterday as well. I'm wondering what i should do with today.

I can't believe that every single school district in the Area has the ENTIRE week off, and not just Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Thats stupid - cuz all my friends have been able to go out these past days, and i'm stuck at home studying for stupid tests. CRAP! That sucks!
Well - tomorrow is 30 cent wing day at BW3's - so i'll be hittin' that, celebrating the Thanksgiving Holidays...
Speaking of which - look for an updated post of a list of things i'm thankful for...

Well, I'm not really sure what to post - i had a good topic today in History for some reason, but i've since forgotten. My grandmother got in town today and she's staying for Thanksgiving. We usually hang out with the Davises (?) - or rather the Davis family - on Thanksgiving and we enjoy good times. Its my brother's birthday soon - December 5th to be exact - which i believe is Katie Tenney's birthday as well - so to both my brother and Katie - happy birthday, soon.
Hopefully before the year ends, I'll be able to make it up to see Claudia Howell - my best Virginia friend, whom i miss dearly. Claudia - you are so awesome.
I'm trying to find a ticket, as well as a job for which i can earn money to buy presents for my family and a ticket to VA, to see her.

Well i just got back from San Marcos where our volleyball team lost to Austin Westlake in the State semifinals. Man this sucks - we lost - but the girls played an awesome game, and I'm proud of them. Anyway, I'll update my blog later today i hope.

Well, I really had some good topics in my mind this afternoon to blog about.....but i forgot them.....tough cookies...
Romans 7:15
"For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not doing what I like to, but I am doing the very thing I hate."

Claudia, I miss you...

Yea, I"m a slacker too - i'll try really hard folks to update it later this week

I was in North Carolina where my brother was playing a national soccer tournament...he's good...so is his team

Geez, I wish i had more time, or used it more efficiently anyway...

Why does the decision of which college to go to come down to so much?
Friends, education, acceptance, ahhhhhhhhhh
Dang, I wish it was easier...

Any advice for me?

Hello readers,
Monday at school is done, and I'm just turning in my Latin 4 paragraph. I decided to take a minute to write a quick entry. As i've talked to many people since i've started 'blogging', it find it very interesting how many people have read at least one entry of my blog. I appreciate each one of you. My counter is at 900 something and I love the way I'm able to communicate with people through this medium. My blog is a way to express myself and the thoughts that i have regarding different topics. Its encouraging that people read it and I implore of you to keep it up.

This past weekend, as i've already said, I took a trip with Ben Williams to College Station. We met up with many of our friends there (both current high schoolers as well as our friends at A&M) and had a "whale-of-a-time". For next year at college, I realized that i want to be surrounded with people who exhibit the some or all of the following characteristics:
- Caring, selfless, Christ-like attitudes
- Humourous
- Athletic
- Smart
- Hard-working/Focused
- Knowledge of college sports
- Understanding

I think this is a good start on a list of characteristics that are appealing to me. NOW, WHAT I'M NOT SAYING IS THIS: I will only hang out with people who exhibit these qualities. Its just that I greatly appreciate people who exhibit many of these attitudes. Wouldn't you?
Well I'm off to go and eat something...
Aloha

I'm on Steven Morris' computer, its 9:30 in the morning and I had a great time yesterday in college station. Let me tell you what made my visit to Aggieland an extremely awesome one.
1) I was at the biggest upset in college football this semester. I was at the Texas A&M game where they beat Oklahoma University. I called Whitney H. many times this weekend, but she would not answer her cell phone. She goes to Oklahoma University, and Oklahoma University lost, they lost to A&M.
2) At Joelle Webb's and Abby Johnson's and Jessica Wright's, and Rachel Maclahan's place, I stayed most of Saturday night. There we watched Zoolander, hung out, and played poker. One of my long lost poker friends, Chris Riley, was in town for the weekend as well, and so Me, Miori, and Chris Riley introduced Jon Boben to 2 awesome poker games that my friends and I usually play: 3-5-7, and Acey Ducey. It was very fun and i lost approximately 10 dollars. That was not a fun part, but hey - Good times were had by all.
3) Walking around, driving around, doing whatever in College Station is definately a cool thing.

Well I'm fixing to leave for home, so hopefully i'll post more later...

Interrupted - i just went and found Ben - he stayed with his friend last night, so...

ok - so here i sit
Never again will I attend another High School football game:
1) As a high school student
2) As a Standleader
3) As an avid fan of high school football - although - i'm sure i will love watching H.S. games later in life.

Man, its kinda sad - we lost to a great Klein Forest team - they are good - i must give props where props are due. (Props KF, Props)
Anyway - tommorrow i head up to Texas A&M to watch the game, err massacre, that is A&M v. OU
Good luck Aggies - you'll need alot.
Tommorrow night I will post from Aggieland - maybe in Jon Boben's dorm, maybe in Steve Morris'

Aloha

I just got back from a trip to Bryan where Klein Varsity volleyball wrecked shop on Round Rock.

Dang, what an intense game. The Standleaders were going crazy, the volleyball players were playing aweosme. WOW! what a night for Sport and more specifically, Volleyball.
How desparately i wish that Klein had a men's volleyball team. I would be on that like ugly on Whoopi Goldberg. i could not imagine how cool it would be if there was even like a sand volleyball club.

Ok, well i'm out - what a night - and tommorrow night THE FOREST WILL BURN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chris Riley (of the late Riley Factor.....well not really late - but delayed, lets say) decided it might be fun
to waste his time (since he has nothing to do with his boring life) clicking back and forward on my page, increasing my counter.
Thank you Chris, you big poopy-doo doo head.

That is all....for now

I could not have said it better...

ThePatBrown: I like football
ThePatBrown: I like sport
ThePatBrown: sport and america
ThePatBrown: God bless where we live
ThePatBrown: where the klein football budget is bigger
than the average net profits of many african countries


Truth...



Why is it, folks, that people are so quick to resort to violence even at the slightest hint of a joke...

This is made up - not a bit of truth to it...but i did encounter a similar situation...and it just bewilders me

Daniel (in a joking manner, to crazed country boy obsessed with his mediocre truck): Man, I'm gonna slice your tires, and key ur doors! HAHA!

Crazed country boy (offended): No you arent, you had better not, cuz i'll keel you...I sware - if you do - i'll kill you and your family...

Its funny - just how people over react... - remember this is a paralell situation, and i didnt really have this exact conversation...

Skains35KHS: I'm not exactly sure what the official label is
ZERO wee z 0: you gotta have the awkward talk
Skains35KHS: yeah
Skains35KHS: we do


score: 3 for the Guys
