Thoughts on Russia

Good morning and happy Friday to you. (Unless you are more of an afternoon reader. In that case, good afternoon.) I don't really have much to say right now. (How extremely odd.) I changed the look of my blog, I hope you like it. I was trying to make it more appealing so you will want to come back. This morning (like ten minutes ago) I was watching the news. Apparently Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin shook hands at a meeting. (A video of it was posted on the internet) I am not sure why this is important. I also do not know why the U.S. can't ally with Russia. So I googled their government. I learned that their president serves a six year term, and shares almost equal power with the prime minister. (President has more power though) Also that the president can just make laws without the okay of the other branches of government. I thought that was interesting. (It was before coffee so I did not absorb too much information.) I don't think that I would want to live in Russia, but it might be cool to visit. Now it is time for us to read, learn and understand sonnet 5 (by Shakespeare).

Those hours that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell
Will play the tyrants to the very same,
And that unfair which fairly doth excel:
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter and confounds him there,
Sap checked with frost and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness every where:
Then were not summer's distillation left
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it nor no remembrance what it was.
But flowers distilled though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show, their substance still lives sweet.



Those hours that with gentle work did frame/ The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell/ Will play the tyrants to the very same, The time that made you so beautiful that you are the focus of every gaze will be the same force that makes you ugly. (Probably what he is saying) So the rest, some of it talks about how time makes summer beautiful but turns it into winter which is ugly and barren. The liquid prisoner is perfume (Read that in the book I got about his Sonnets) Other than that, this one was a hard one for me to understand or really grasp at all. If you do not get it either, I know how you feel. I will study Sonnet 6 today so tomorrow I will know it with more confidence than this one. 😉Since today is Friday, I should put something that will make you smile... Here, I have something for all of you math nerds.

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key...

Master's Camp 2018

Hey, all. I know that has been quite some time since my last post. I have had a lot going on. Even now, I have a lot going on in my mind. But let me tell you about camp. We went to Master's Camp at Alto Frio, (Which btw means like Cold River or something like that in Spanish.) On the first two days we learned/discussed how God is bigger than our tiny minds can fathom and how He can provide for our every need. Tuesday afternoon the entire camp was told not to use the water. There was something wrong that caused the camp's water pressure to go way down. At first they thought that it was a busted water line, but soon we learned that it was the drought. The wells where the camp got water from were nearly empty. Over 800 campers, no running water. All of the leaders met together to pray, our church group also met together and prayed, along with others. We knew God would provide. (After all, that was what we had been talking about for two days, was it not?) Sure enough, within hours,...

Caroling and Christmas Parties

Hello Humans. That is how I have been greeting people since last week. You would not believe how many offended looks I have gotten. It is pretty hilarious. So you guys remember how excited I was that I was going  to put up Christmas lights with my friend on Saturday? Well it rained the night before, so we didn't do that. But! Before I get ahead of myself, I did get to go to a play at my school with LTG and his mom and my sister. It was pretty great, the play was fantastic. It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and my friend-quaintance Daniel Oriano was the main character. I didn't know that he could sing and was left quite impressed.  After that we went home. It was pouring rain. Like so much rain. Saturday came. I went from sleeping to suddenly being awake. Which was fine. I believe that was the night that I had a terrifying dream. I shall relate the first half to you, the second half is just confusing.  It began with me in english class, which is 8th per...
