Most memorable experience

                          When I was eleven years old, my family and I went out to eat after Sunday morning church service at Golden Corral.  When we arrived there were a lot of people already there and we had to wait almost fifteen minutes to be seated.  Usually when we go there we are seated immediately.  There was a couple that came in right before us and the man was well rounded as well as bald.  When we finally got to sit down, we went to get our food from the buffet and enjoyed a pretty good meal.  I also had drank about five cokes with my meal so before we left I went to relieve myself.  When I went in the restroom, the circular fellow was also in there relieving himself.  This fellow also had an ice cream cone in his left hand while doing his business.  In disgust I continued to watch without him noticing.  He went towards the sink thinking he was just going to wash his hands, but he leaned over towards the mirror and checked his bald head to make sure it was shiny.  He then continued to go to the door without washing his hands where he opened it partly with his right hand then switched the ice cream cone to his right hand while he opened the door the rest of the way and continued to eat it out of his right hand. unwashed.

Why I think students should be able to wear what they want in school

                  Bluegrass Baptist School does not allow you to wear what type of clothes you want.  In most public schools you are allowed to wear whatever you want, whereas in our school you are only allowed to wear the certain dress code that is outlined by the board of the school.  I can understand why we may not be allowed to where anything we want because we are supposed to set an example for other people, and one way we can do this is by watching the type of clothes that we wear, but not allowing us to be able to wear jeans or tee-shirts to an extent, in my opinion, is a little too strict.  Last year we were allowed to pay one dollar to be able to wear jeans on Mondays, but now we are not even given the chance to have one day a week to be able to wear jeans.

                   Our school has a strict dress code to what the students are and are not allowed to wear.  Boys must wear a polo that can be either solid or striped in one direction, with no symbol bigger than the size of a credit card with khaki, navy, black, brown, or gray pants.  On chapel days which are Fridays, boys must wear a button down shirt with a tie.  Also boys are required to wear a belt every day of the week and tuck in their shirt.  After the sixth grade, we are no longer allowed to wear shorts of any kind, where we use to be able to wear khaki, navy, or black shorts. 

                   I have been coming to Bluegrass since kindergarten and the dress code has slacked up a little bit in some ways, but in others, the dress code has gotten even more strict.

 

Conditioning

              Today September 28, 2012 marks the beginning of varsity basketball conditioning at Bluegrass Baptist School.  This conditioning is not an easy thing to accomplish, but in the long run if we stick with it and are persistent, our team will be more conditioned than any other in the KCAA.  Our coach Sherman Parker likes to make us run, and if we mess up or dont run fast enough, we have to run more.  There are many different exercises and drills we do during our conditioning that will also help tone our bodies to be prepared for the upcoming season.  Many of the players on our team were busy this past summer, so we may have an even more rough time with it this year then we did last year.  I consider our varsity basketball conditioning to be one of the most strenuous things I have encountered in my life.  Several exercises require you to give every bit of energy you can muster at the time.  We do planks for two minutes at a time.  A plank is where you lay down on your stomach and prop yourself up on your elbows and on your tiptoes and hold yourself parallel off of the ground for the whole two minutes.  We also did wall-sits for two minutes at a time.  Wall sits are where you sit up against a wall where it looks like your sitting in a chair with your legs at a 90 degree angle and flexing your abs at the same time.  Another exercise we do is jumping across a line for about a minute and a half.  You put your feet together and jump back and forth over a line for the whole time, think its not hard?  Go try it sometime yourself!  This exercise absolutely strains your calves and quads to the max!

Carry on

               When I was a young boy my father took me into the city to see a marching band, he said son when you grow up will you be the savior of the broken, the beaten and the lost.  He said will you defeat them, your plans and broken efforts and the trouble that they have made.  Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom to lead you in the winter to join the Black Brigade.  Sometimes I get the feeling He's watching over me, and other times I feel like I should go through it all, the rise and fall.  And when you're gone we all will want you to know we will carry on, and though your dead and gone, believe me your memory will carry on. 

A third crazy random story

                    Once upon a time there was a man that liked to smash windows, his name was Ernest.  Ernest lived way up in the holler and hardly ever came out to civilization and always wore raggady clothes.  Ernest always went around to the surrounding houses in his community and would throw very large rocks right through the windows of their houses.  Even when his neighbors would catch him throwing the rocks, they would try to run out of their houses an try to come and catch him, but before they could catch him, Ernest had already ran away into the forest.  One day he threw the rock through the wrongs person's house and they called the police.  When the police arrived, they spent several hours out in the forest searching for him.  After many tiresome hours, they finally found where Ernest had been living for the past several months.  They called from outside of his house and ordered for him to come out immediately.  When Ernest came out he had a shotgun armed and loaded, while the two police only had one pistol between the two of them.  Ernest ordered them to throw the firearm to the ground and put their hands on their heads.  From off in the distance one of the neighbors saw the situation from afar off.  Sneaking up from behind, Tom the neighbor knocked the gun out of Ernest's hands and held him on the ground while the two policemen, Barney Fife and Andy Griffith, took both of the guns and arrested Ernest.

Whats going on in school

                   Right now in Bible class taught by Mr. Derek Holmes, we are currently looking in to the depths of the letters from the Apostle Paul.  In American history class, taught by Mr. Michael Frick, we are learning about the time period of the 1700's where Paul Revere and the minutemen warned the town that the British were coming.  During this time Ethan Allen and the Green mountain Boys were going to conquer Fort Ticonderoga.  The First and Second Continental Congress, were being established where John Hancock was the President of it and George Washington was The Commander in Chief.  This was also during the period when The Revolutionary War was taking place, when the British were wearing their crimson red jackets and would stand out in the middle of the field.  In physics class taught by Mr. Brian Bowles, we are learning about the sine, cosine, and tangents of angles and sides and also how to find a missing angle or side.  We are also learning how to use the Pythagorean therom to find missing sides of triangles when you already have two known sides.  In pre-calculus taught by Mrs. Brenda Moore, we are learning  about asymptotes and long division with polynomial functions.  In yearbook taught by Mr. Mark Ellis, we are currently blogging and learning more and more about paintshop pro.  In English class taight ny Mrs. Judy Henard, we are constantly in our grammar books and reading in our literature books.  We have many test and quizzes every week.  In speech class also taught by Mrs. Judy Henard, we are interviewing one another, then introducing them in front of the entire class.  This is just a look into what I am learning about currently at school.

Post Title

          This post is going to be all about posts.  There are many different kinds of post.  There are long, short, creative, boring, exciting, plain, and great post.  I myself usually write the random kind of blogs that get me my nine-hundred words required by Mr. Ellis complete by the end of each Friday.  Currently I have around five-hundred words, so if you know anything about math, I am a little over half way done and have around four-hundred more words to write.  I hope my teacher will let this pass for some of my words, I will be posting much better and creative stories as the year goes on, but for now it is much easier to just write about a bunch of random stuff.
           
            Right now in yearbook class, we are learning how to use Corel Paintshop Pro X4 in its depths.  We are learning all kinds of different editing techniques to further the detail of the picture.  Some of the cool things we are learning to do is being able to cut certain parts of the picture out and replace the background with something cool like stars.  We also are learning to alter the photo in many different ways, like changing the color and disfiguring the figure.

              Currently I am sitting in the computer lab sitting next to Mark Joseph Karenbauer and Dylan Scott Johnson.  There are several other fellow classmates in the classroom with me at the moment.  The fan is blowing cool air on all of the anticipating students in deep concentration of their computers.  Mr. Ellis I would just like to tell you I am sorry that I will not have all of my nine-hundred words I am deeply sorry please forgive me and dont be to harsh with the grading system.  I am going to get as many possible words that I can in these short five minutes I have left.  Mr. Ellis you are great!  Your chapel message this morning was very insightful and taught me very much about the character we should have that one of our founding fathers, George Washington had.  You are very smart and prepared with the material you present to all the people you ever have a chance to speak to.  I miss your history class, Mr. Frick is making us write a whole bunch more than you ever did.  You will be greatly missed. The end.

my second crazy random story

                    Once upon a time there was this young fellow whose name was Robert.  Robert was not your average teenager.  Robert graduated from Harvard at the record age of thirteen.  Robert was reading highscool level when he was five years old.  Rob's parents knew he was very special from the day he was born.  Their was recently an interview with his parents, where the interviewer asked them about Rob's early life.  His parents said that at the age of three, Rob could fluently speak in Japanese, English, German, Spanish, and Italian.  When Rob was asked to speak in all of these languages, he quickly responded in all five complex languages.  Robert graduated from Harvard with an absolute perfect score and a GPA of 4.0.  His professors finding this nearly impossible to complete such a challenging course tried to question if he was actually completing this without cheating.  Robert is now sixteen years old and owns his own medical practice in New York City.  Robert's practice is not only succeeding, it is the most popular and gets the most traffic from the entire city.  Robert is currently making between $750,000-$1,000,000.  With this revenue, Robert is currently the youngest entreprenuer in the world. 

                     Robert is well known all over the United States and much of Europe. Robert currently has ten different practices throughout the east coast of the U.S. He plans on trying to start moving his studies all throughout the United States and possibly over seas into Europe and Asia. Robert's most extensive studies for now is centered on a cure for cancer. Robert is almost positive he will have a minor dose to start clearing up the cancer by the beginning of January, 2013. There are already millions of people on the waiting to receive the cure next year. This study is costing him over 90 percent of his income from five of the ten practices.  In one of Robert's interviews they asked him if it was worth all the money this study was costing, Robert responded, "If the world does not find the cure for cancer, eventually it will even come to the point where we quit trying."  This gave those people who were doubtful, hope.  Robert plans on perfecting his cure for cancer that will completely wipe any signs of it by the middle of 2013.  This news caused even more people to want to come to his offices for all different kinds of medical reasons.  They ranged from surgery to regular check-ups to all different kinds of other treatments.

more randomness

When I was a young child there were these four clowns whose names were Hippy, Trippy, Crippy, and Lippy.  These four clowns were known four causing trouble all around the town of Restlessburg.  Restlessburg used to be such a calm town that everybody that lived there never had to lock their doors at night or their cars.  Until one day when the four infamous clowns came to Restlessburg.  At first the towns people thought it was just a prank and didn't pay any attention to the restlessness that was occuring there in Restlessburg.  Hippy tried to go cause trouble with the children in the town, while Trippy was interacting with those who were just leaving highschool and entering into college.  Crippy was trying to decieve those who were in trouble with law, and lastly Lippy was trying to secretly influence the entire town of Restlessburg.  Lippy was chosen to be in charge of trying to convince the largest group of people because he was the best public speaker.  All the clowns were good speakers, but Lippy was exceptional!  Lippy attended a college for public speaking and was top in his class but something happened that made Lippy drop out.  One day while Lippy was giving one of his speeches to the class, he noticed someone laughing near the back of the room.  At first he paid no attention to the laughter and continued on but soon nearly the entire class was beginning to laugh.  Lippy was quickly becoming impatient and restless with his classmates and eventually through his notes on the floor and exited the building.  Lippy eventually learned about the notorious group of the other three clowns, and furthered his endeavors of joining the group.  Lippy figured if people were going to laugh at him, why not dress up as a clown and do what he does best, speak.  Lippy quickly found out what this group was all about and that was deception and destruction.  Hippy, Trippy, and Crippy were all three brothers that from a very young age tried to trick and decieve whoever they could.  Not only did they decieve people, they stole from them, lied to them, made fun of them, and diregarded everything anyone ever told them.  These three grew up in the ways of evil and were very good at it, this also helped them teach Lippy all about their tricky ways.  The four became a group at the age of twenty, all four were born in the same month of the same year.  This helped them get along in their endeavors. 

School in general

             We are now in the middle of our fifth week of school, there has been very many strange and unusual events that have taken place within these five weeks.  Well this week there was a shooting in the middle of the hall it was pretty harsh and bloody. Joseph Willingtton was killed several times by getting shot over and over in the face.  Next year he will be coming back to life on January 15, 2013.  I am not sure who shot all of these people but it will not be good when we find out who actually did. 
          
             There were several survivors in the shooting, one of which was Carlton Malone.  Carlton escaped his fateful death within just a few seconds.  Carlton was my friend, and luckily he is still alive to tell about this terrible tradgedy.  Those who fatefully died will never be forgotten, but they are still alive in our hearts.

              Those people that died that day had friends and family that cared about them so very much.  This shooter took everything away from these innocent people including there lives.  Their families will never forget what happened to them.

General Talk

         Well today we finished our third week of school!  Time is already flying by, it seems like we just started back yesterday.  We have been having a pretty good year so far, not a lot of homework, but we always got that one teacher who likes to really PILE IT ON.  And this year it is Mrs. Hernard, my English teacher.  In the past couple of weeks I have had double the amount of work from her then all of my other teachers combined, its complete ludicrous!  With that said, I must let you know how big of a deal it is to say that I have more work from my English teacher then I do from my math teacher Mrs. Moore.  Mrs. Moore is a great lady and wants us to succeed in life, but geez, she can really load you down with the work.  She used to teach college math courses in Alabama I believe and the work load she gives us was probably about what she gave her college students!        
           Now I would like to tell you a little bit about the sport I enjoy the most, basketball.  I currently play for the varsity team at school and enjoy my position as power forward.  I think the position explains itself, I like to power, forwards.  When i play this sport I try my best to give it everything I have, whether it be blocking, rebounding, or the occasional basket.  But scoring is not what my position is about, I'm there to do the dirty work, if there is a loose ball, I need to be the first one on the floor getting that ball, or if someone is about to have a wide open lay up, I need to be the one to deny that ball and send it flying towards the other end of the court.  Enough about me, basketball is ALL about the team.  For the past about five years, we have had many of the same people on our team growing stronger and getting better as a team every year.  My JV team last year had an amazing opportunity to make it all way to state and win it all.  This year my Varsity team WILL win state for the first time in many years, as well as next year.  Be expecting a great season from our JV and Varsity boys Basketball this year!  See you at the games.

BGBS Varsity Soccer

            This year we started a varsity soccer team for our school.  In the previous years we never had enough people interested in the sport to actually have a team, but this year, former professional soccer player John Carpenter came to Bluegrass to be our head coach and put forth an effort to get a team started.  We have two assistant coaches, Coach Tom and Coach Wycoff, who also are teaching us what they know about this challenging sport.  We have a total of seventeen players on the team ranged from grades seventh through the twelfth grade.  Our two captains of the team are senior Joshua Branham, and junior Dylan Johnson.  We are in the Kentucky Christian Athletic Association or KCAA which is comprised of about thirty different schools all around Kentucky.  As a group we are all learning the great sport of soccer and for our first year, trying to acquire some basic skills and moves of the game.  We have about three players that have played on an organized soccer team and as for everyone else this our first year.
              So far we have had a total of five soccer games and we tied our first game against Highlands at a score of 2-2.  Although we have not won any of our other games, we have all had a blast as a team, learning something new about the game every time we play and gaining skill and knowledge every game.  We are continuing to grow closer as a team and are progressively getting better as a team as well.  Bluegrass's next game is next Friday, September 7 against AIE in Louisville!  Next year we will have a good and experienced team ready to take on the league!
