Hello everyone! Yesterday, Saturday 13,2010, I had a soccer game. My team played against Edmond. My team won 7 to 0! We kicked their butts! I was very happy that we won! That was our first game for the season!

I cant wait till summer! Angie got Josie and I into Camp Classen! I forgot when, but I know it's somewhere in June.

Dear Grandma Cori,

                              I am very excited to come down! I will see you soon! I love you!

                                                        ,Love Jordan

                                       

                                    Well that's all the news I have! Bye bye!

 Hello everyone! I just got out of soccer pracitce. If I do say so myself, I am getting much better. Our soccer team is called Fire, and we just had our first game last weekend. We all tried really hard but we lost. Hopefully this game that's coming up will be better! I reallllly love soccer! I'm hoping to be able to play in highschool.

  I'm also going to enter a local art contest, for the theme of "What makes you you" I think is what it is. Hopefully I can come up with something creative enough to win!

  That's all for now! Bye-Bye!

Asked to comment on a career that's had plenty of failures and has now achieved the ultimate success, Bridges quoted his most famous movie role. "I've had ups and downs," he laughed, staying as humble as always. "What does the Dude say? Strikes and gutters, man!"

View Article  EXPLORE Results for Josie

We recently received Josie's scores for the standardized test the school system requires.  They call it a "Benchmark," but the EXPLORE exam is like a pre-pre-ACT exam.  We are so tickled and proud of Josie's performance!  Overall, her cumulative score puts her in the 94 percentile out of all U.S. scores!  Isn't that remarkable?!  Here's the link to the whole report:

Way to go, Josie Ann!!!

Being on Facebook, I find myself chuckling at the people, usually girls under 18, who constantly post song lyrics.  They are most often songs about love, heartbreak, and not-quite-sex, and all of those other chemically induced reactions that are confused with emotions.  It's all so sweet and optimistic!  However, once in awhile, song lyrics describe something more accurately than us non-poets can verbalize.

Maynard James Keenan of Tool, not to mention A Perfect Circle, isn't afraid to put pen to paper and kick us all in the teeth with reality.  He says the things that most of us know are true, but are too afraid or embarrassed to utter aloud.  And he phrases these concepts so eloquently.  I imagine if there is a god and/or other heavely beings, this is how they see us:

"Right In Two"
Angels on the sideline,
Puzzled and amused.
Why did Father give these humans free will?
Now they're all confused.

Don't these talking monkeys know that
Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys,
Where there's one you're bound to divide it.
Right in two.

Angels on the sideline,
Baffled and confused.
Father blessed them all with reason.
And this is what they choose.
And this is what they choose...

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs,
They forge a blade,
And where there's one
they're bound to divide it,
Right in two.
Right in two.

Monkey killing monkey killing monkey.
Over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys give them thumbs.
They make a club.
And beat their brother, down.
How they survive so misguided is a mystery.

Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability to lift an eye to heaven conscious of his fleeting time here.

Cut it all right in two

Fight over the clouds, over wind, over sky
Fight over life, over blood, over prayer,
overhead and light
Fight over love, over sun,
over another, Fight...

Angels on the sideline again.
Benched along with patience and reason.
Angels on the sideline again
Wondering when this tug of war will end.

Cut it all right in two
RIGHT IN TWO!

Right in two...

Hello! Tonight, I had my second soccer practice. I though I did really good! We did a scrimmage, and I made a goal. I was really proud. I fell down twice and got mud all over my legs (which is a plus). We have our first game next weekend! It's coming up really soon and we have only had two practices! I'm going to have to run every day next week. I'm going to practice really hard!
