7 DAYS!!! :)

Well fellow bloggers...in 7 days I will be 16 years old. Yep, that big eventful day that is one of the most important days of a person's life will be happening to me, May 3rd 2010.

To tell you the truth I'm pretty stoked- not just because of the presents- but because I can FINALLY feel somewhat like a grownup. I hate when people are like "How old are you." And I'm like..."15.." 15 feels so young. I hate being one of the youngest in my class. I have to wait the whole year just to turn another year older while all of my friend's birthdays are in the fall. :/ Oh poo.

Anyways did anyone catch the Apprentice last night???!!!
OMG no one got voted off! YES :) I'm happy-although like I said I'm ready for CINDI to be gone.

I heard that Bret Michaels is very very ill so I hope he gets better!! He's so funny! My favorite so far this season is Maria-the red head, and Curtis Stone-the dreamy Australlian/British chef. He can cook for me anytime :)

Well, tonight I get to watch my newer favorite show, "Castle" on ABC. It's a mysetery drama-show thing...The title line is "There are two types of people who sit around thinking about murder. Psychopaths and Mysetery Writers. I, for one, am the one that gets paid better."

Basically it's this dude whose last name is Castle (I forgot his 1st name) and he is a mysetery writer...he follows a detective around to get ideas for his next book. Then all sorts of wild stuff happens to him. You should totally watch it! Well it comes on in 5 minutes! So I'm gunna go!

Peace out!

And that was Lindsey's thoughts of the day.

New Moon Movie Review

Well...I went shopping with Susanna tonight..then we rented The seccond movie in the Twilight Saga: New Moon.

I pretty much can sum it up in one word: Fail.Now, like many teenage girls I too was one of those Twilight people for about a few months my freshman year of high school...But after watching the first Twilight movie I stopped re-reading the books a seccond time and I tore down my stupid poster of Edward Cullen, and that was that.

Between Kristin Stewart's bad acting or Rob Pattinson's strange faces..I can't pick which one was my favorite to laught at. It had a very lame ending and it could have been better. The only good part about the movie was Taylor Lautner...enough said.

The end. Oh and if you can't wait to read the books here's the spoiler ending of the seris:
Edward and Bella get married..have a kid which is half vampire that eats Bella from the inside out...Oh and Bella becomes a vampire...wool te do...Then Jacob falls in love with Bella's kid...what a creep. And they all live creepily ever after. The End.


Please don't become a Twilight freak...they are strange and annoying and you will regret everything. Especially don't go buy the tshirts and hoodies with Edward's face on it. I thibk that's a little over-board..

And that's my thought of the day.

Hola Mi Amigos y Amigas

Well...last time I talked about the newspaper barely making its deadline. We actually sent it to be printed a day late, and it should have been printed a day late, but the printer printed it fast. So, we actually came out on time! Woo!!

This next issue I am going to try to not try to do everything. Lay off the stress ya know?

Well, right now I am really into the TV show "House". It has the dad off of Stuart Little on it. I mean really? Anything with Hugh Laurie I'll watch, well...I mean if it's interesting.

Anyway, so House is a medical/crime drama show. It has seven seasons and it is a super tight show. You should watch it.

Anyways... I haven't watched any new movies lately...darn. I knew you were looking forward to another movie review.

On Friday, I went to my church leader group deal-io-bob..then went and ate Mexican food with the girls...Then went to school for a Spanish Club lock in. And let me tell you it was LOCO. We played Spanish board games, salsa danced, and did a Spanish scavenger hunt.

I probably wouldn't have gone unless it counted for extra credit (which it did.)

IN English class we are writing business letters to persuade a company or someone to do something. So, I am writing the CHI hair product company and I am complaining about my broken CHI. I am going to try to get a new CHI flat iron out of this project. *Fingers crossed*

Last weekend there was a youth rally thingy at a local church called "Pure Excitement." It had the band Hawk Nelson playing, which is tight. I bought a t-shirt..and it's purple. A+ on t-shirt design guys..

Anyway, Joe White was the speaker and he is my total BFF. He is the owner and director of all the Kamp Kanakuk Kamps...and I am a fellow Kanakuk-er. I have gone to Kanakuk 4 times and I hope to go again. It's a Christian Athletic Kamp and it's absolutely amazing.... ( go visit www.kanakuk.com to learn more )!

Anyways, I was extremely excited to see him. It absolutely made my day. I hope I can go back to Kanakuk one of these days. When I get into college I am determined to be a counselor there. It's so much fun!! I'd love to go for another 25 day term...Trust me, once you go you never wanna go home! Lol.

Well...To catch you up on the Celebrity Apprentice...I'm behind :S Last week the Victoria Secret Model got kicked off-yes! She seemed to have an attitude, but I was ready for Cindy to be gone...

I was surprised that the men were capable of winning...Oh well, congrats Rock Solid. No congrats to team Tenacity.

Also, the week before the governor got kicked off.Let me tell you he FAILED at using technology. He couldn't even send a text, or email, or even talk on the phone!!!!

How do you become a governor of a state and then not know how to make a cell phone call??? Well, I don't know. But, he isn't the governor anymore, so too bad for him.


My sweet 16 is coming up and I am excited. I just want the freedom to drive myself to extra-curricular things and to be able to go shopping or drive myself to work. It will be a luxury I will be glad to have.

Anyways (I know I say that a lot) I think I will let you go on with your day, and I am going to go take a nap.

Peace out.

I hate deadlines...

Well...it's about that time to publish another issue of "The Tiger" (our school's newspaper). It's been pretty hectic lately...stories being due...pictures needed to be taken...and the ever-so-time-consuming....Layout. Ugh. I wish I could do it all. I hate depending on other people to help with projects.

I always know I can depend on myself. I try to get things done quickly, and before they are due so I am before schedule. However, not everyone has my mentallity which makes for long nights at the school writing stories during the weekend.

I've been feeling lazy lately...so I did my own work, made my layouts and I was done as of Friday. I play Solitare now that I have nothing to do during class. Boo. :(

It seems like no one wants help, and no one wants to receive correction. This includes me.

I like to do "my own thing" and I don't like other people to give me input till the final time, unless of course I ask for help.

Maybe I just need to be needed...maybe I should try to do more-even though I already am. Right now I'm feeling pretty useless...and I wish I could help it.

Oh well...when it goes online I will link it on my blog.

We are supposed to publish Friday...idk if that's happening.

Peace

I'm a Complainer

Today is Saturday...my favorite day. I have done laundry, cleaned my room, fed my dog, and done my English homework. I think today has been a success and its only 3:43pm.

Some of you may be reading my blog and thinking, "Why is she always complaining. All this blog is, is complaints." Well, my fellow readers, I am very sorry to tell you that everyone complains. Bad things happen in life, and people complain. Things aren't always done the way you want them to be done, and you complain. Well, instead of cluttering my Facebook, Twitter, and life with complaints, I've resolved to add them to this blog-of random things- and only the true people who care about my complatints will read them.

Well, some people enjoy to hear complaints- just as all of us love to hear Simon Cowell on American Idol say, "That was awful. You are terrible, it was all wrong." As humans we enjoy seeing other people fail-like how we enjoy laughing at that hideous person trying to sing on American Idol (Not mean fail...funny fail-where no one gets hurt, don't take me the wrong way)- i.e. "the fail blog"...(Go look for it it's funny )

In my life, I like to see people fail, or see wierd things happen, and I comment or complain about it. Most people are like, "Shut up Lindsey, I'm trying to watch this movie." My problem is that sometimes I complain or comment at annoying times, and I am very sorry to all of you who have seen a movie or play with me..as I tend to comment on everything.

We all have flaws and I accept that I, Lindsey, am a complainer. Get over it. You have problems too, when we can all learn to get over ourselves, we can see that we are all alike in the fact that we all have issues. I just choose to observe other people's issues, and comment on them (When the commenting is my issure...hmmm?)

Anyway, I'm done babbaling for this moment, I will more than likely post something tomorrow! Peace out!

President Obama and the National Day of Prayer

This is going to be a very random post.

FIRST off I found out that President Obama is NOT observing the National Day of Prayer. This makes me very upset because ever since Kennedy made the NDP every president has observed it....What I find peculiar is that he can actually participate in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll of whatever today...Ugh...he makes me mad.

SECOND I would like to add that I absolutely LOVE the Dr.OZ show. He's so awesome and I used to only watch Oprah just to see him. He's amazing...you should definitely watch it.

THIRD-I wish I could read people's minds....or change people's minds...just have some power for once.

FOURTH- to quote a book that I'm reading "If there's one thing that bugs me, it's older people thinking that they can train kids to be nice. In my experience, if somebody's a jerk, he's a jerk, period, end of the story."
Just some food for thought...It seems to be that we always try to change people's character...but sometimes it's just not going to help because some people just don't want to change...

FIFTH- My Faves of the moment:
Toby Mac- CD TONIGHT
Justin Bieber- CD My World/ My World 2.0
Charlie McDonall- Charlieissocoollike on Youtube
Twitter
British Accents
Flippy Hair
Columbine-BOOK by Dave Cullen (Seriously it's the best)
Kari Jobe- SONG Healer
Jesus
Puppies
Dr.Oz
Sprite
The Last Song
Kris Allen- CD "Kris Allen"
Vera Bradley
Jake- Cologne from Hollister...smells so good

SIXTH: Things I hate (or highly dislike) at the moment:
Scarfs- I still refuse to wear them
Fanny Packs-worn around your waist
Liars
Lucifer
Newspaper Deadlines
Annoying People
Book Reports
Big Packets about "A Midsummer's Night's Dream" Due Friday...
Health Care Bill
Dumb People who are ignorant
Spanish II
My cell phone...it's time for an upgrade
Old yearbook pictures
Broken Toes

Ok...that is all..thanks for reading :)

Alice and Wonderland *MOVIE REVIEW*

Well,I was watching the celebrity apprentice...then I decided to go to the movies with Susanna and Brooke.. we saw Alice in Wonderland...it was pretty much the creepiest movie ever and soooo hard to follow!! Here's what I got out of it: a little girl was about to be proposed to and saw a rabbit...ran after it..fell down a hole..met a caterpillar and Johnny depp...got scratched by a dog..met a queen with a wierd foreheads and got into a fight with her while she was on the queen's sister's side (Anne Hathaway) and i guess she won...and she makes it back to real life where she learns some big lesson about growing up...Seriously this movie was dumb I give it an 1 star out of 5 stars.

Anyways...the best part of the movie was the end. Susanna and Brooke love to sit and watch the credits at the end till the very last thing on the screen is over...It's so embarrasing... Oh well we read the credits of the movie and everyone's name was soo funny...Like they were all foreign people with randomlast names haha.

Anyway, for the first hour and a half I saw of the apprentice Rob Blagoavich was the captain and he totally fails at leaing people ( much like his governor-ship -*cough*) Also, I learned that he really needs a wax job on those eyebrows...they are growing into his eyelids GROSS!! And that one girl--I forgot her name--was the Tenacity leader and he knew what she was doing. The captians were sent to Orlando for their assignment to build a 3D Harry potter experience thingy...It was weird. The girls were organized since the captians
at least knew how to EMAIL and TEXT!! Rob B. fails at life he can't even do that!! Oh well...I hope the boys won because I would
love to see Cindi Lauper gone...



Anyway...now I am waching High School Musical 3 on Disney...I know lame
right...But, it has made me think up my new question of the day:

What if life were a musical??? Wouldn't it be awesome??


But then I realised it would stink to have life as a musical because you would have to hear A LOT of terrible singers (including ME). So, I am not going to change life as we know it into a musical or go to wonderland because both would suck.

TWO things I learned today
1) Never remake a Disney made cartoon movie into a creepy version ( even if that's how the book goes)
2) Leave the musicals to Zac Effron and Vannessa Hudgens.


ONE thing I will work on
1)Learn to be like Susanna and Brooke and enjoy watching movie credits
-

Wait what am I kidding??? I do what I want. I will not conform to their strange movie traditions.

That is all. Peace out.

The Last Song *SPOILER WARNING*

Well, I went to go see the last song with my friends on Friday night. I was actually pretty surprised at how well done it was. It was a really good movie....sad ending though. If you are an emotional person during a movie I recommend bringing lots of tissues. Since I'm such a heartless person as my dear friend Susanna would like to say, I didn't cry at all, when almost everyone in the theater was searching for tissues and sobbing their eyes out.....I don't know why, but I can normally be pretty un-emotional when a person dies on a TV show or a movie....But, throw a doggy into the mix and you will have my crying.

I don't know if it's a bad thing...but maybe a coping technique. I mean, yes, it's sad when a character in a movie dies, but it's all fictional...I don't wanna get caught up with having emotions for a movie character do I? I mean they aren't even real...But I guess the problem is that there are real people who have gone through the same things the characters have gone through...and maybe it's our purpose to try to relate to those people in real life through the things we have seen in movies and such...Perhaps? Just a thought..

ANYWAYS...the movie is about a girl (Miley Cyrus)--I forgot her name--who moves to Florida to visit her dad who really wanted to see her. Her parents had been split up and she was really heartbroken over it. She had been a piano prodgy since she was about 2 years old and she was already accepted into Julliard. However, after her parents were separated she didn't even touch the piano.

The angered Miley Cyrus visits her dad, and falls in love with the Steamy Will. You could literally feel the air being when all the girls got the first glimpse of him without his shirt off when he was playing beach volleyball. Anyways...he likes Miley...she doesn't care for him...It's a cat and mouse game until she decides she should give it a try....and on the plus side he is incredibly cute :)


Anyways...there's a fight...bad friends...bad boyfriends of friends....judgmental parents...a stained glass window...theft...and arson..and some high pitched squealing of Miley's song in the end credits....and also a life-threatening illness thrown into the mix.

I definitely would recommend you seeing this...For all you people that love to make fun of Miley this is also the movie for you-watch her strange faces as she tries to fake cry in the sad scenes....my friend Laura couldn't help but laughing...Haha. Also, if you are a hopeless romantic who spends their Friday nights at home alone reading a Nicolas Sparks book, or movie (The Notebook, with a tub of ice cream and a box of tissues...this movie is for you.

As for the many Hannah Montana 10-year-old-fans, I think this movie will make you see that Miley Cyrus is no longer 13 year old "Miley Stewart" on Hannah Montana. She's an adult, and this movie is probably not for ten year olds. Yes, it is rated PG and I didn't see any bad content, It's just a love story...and if you are used to the love story of "Miley Stewart and Jake Ryan" on the Disney Channel, this is nothing like that. It's more complicated- a more real life love story?

Just my thoughts...random thoughts..I hope someone is at least reading this...have a nice night :)






P.S. CELEBRITY APPRENTICE IS ON TONIGHT :)
Last week Darrel Strawberry the Baseball player was kicked off....because of his own stupidity...All the work was getting to him and he was tired and ready to leave...The girl's team won yet again-no surprise...and I actually hope that the guy's team can win this week because I don't think I can take another week of Cindi Laupher (or however you spell it).


PEACE OUT :)

Relationships *Good Friday*

The portrayal of teenage relationships on TV is crazy. From the "Secret Life of the American Teenager" to other TV shows, it seems that all TV/ Hollywood thinks teens care about is dating, dating, and more dating.

However, this is not the only thing teens should be focusing on. We have jobs, friends, school, church, clubs, and grades to be worried about. Yes, having a relationship is a good thing, but letting it consume your life isn't.

I hate it when there's that one girl who is known as the "one with the bad 'rep'" or is the one that has dated every guy in school. Or, even that one person who is at school who you can't even manage to be around because she's always spreading gossip or talking about that one party on Friday night.

The thing is that you could reach out to her-show her God's love, without being influenced by her lifestyle. All she's looking for is love, and for someone to care for her.

Jesus called us to be in the world, but not of the world. He told us to develop a relationship with people and he told us to develop relationships with Him. By developing relationships or friendships= people can learn to trust us.

Sure, from the outside some people can be quick to judge. But, on the inside they have real feelings that just want to be heard. By developing a friendship you can learn to trust someone-or at least understand them- and they can learn to understand you.

Whether it's the lonely girl at the lunch table, or the girl with the "bad 'rep'", they all want the same thing-to feel loved.

I don't think I've ever met or heard of someone that didn't have a desire to be loved. As human beings we have had a desire to be loved, ever since we were born- a natural craving for someone to love, or have, someone to love us. A baby yearns for mommy or daddy. A teen yearns for love and searches for relationships. Sometimes we perceive these teens as looking for attention instead of love-which some are. Maybe that teen didn't receive love from mommy or daddy when they were young, so now they are looking for a person who can fill in the gaps. They can spend their whole life looking for the people who can do that, but in the end it's all wasted time.

The relationship that we were all born to have was with our savior-Jesus Christ. He loves us so much. And, His daddy, God, loves you too. He loved you so much that he sent his son to die, be crucified, torn to pieces, and have his hart EXPLODE for you. His heart goes out to you when you try to search for that everlasting love somewhere else.

Jesus was send to Earth to be an example for us to see. He is the ultimate role model. He developed relationships with people-especially that of the the 12 men that followed him everywhere- the 12 disciples. He showed the tax collectors, hypocrites, prostitutes, the sick, the demon-filled, the bad and the demon filled people the love that HIS father wants to show and give them. Some of his best friends were tax collectors- people who were liars and cheaters despised by everyone. But, through showing them God's love, he was able to show them what they were missing in their lives-without being influenced by them. By them seeing Jesus' perfect example they were able to examine their own lives and fix themselves on God and get rid of the junk in their lives.

As Christians we are called to be Christ-like. That's the whole purpose of being a Christian- to be like Christ. Christ loved his daddy, God, and he loved people, even the people who others thought should never be shown love or grace.As Christians we were called to have a relationship with God and a relationship with people-just as Jesus did.

First- the relationship with God. We need to love God, and show him how much we are grateful for him by spending time with him. If you have a best friend and you never see them, spend time with them,take the time to learn about them or talk to them, how do you expect to have a healthy relationship? That's how God feels when we don't pray-our communication line with God- read his word-learning about him- learning how to love or spending time with worshiping him and just loving on Him. When we do this it puts the biggest smile on God's face. He loves his children and he wants nothing more than for us to love him back and desire to have a relationship with him. God doesn't want us to be religious- the religious people were the one's who put Jesus on the cross. They acted like they were "Christians", but their hearts and motives were wrong and they only wanted to exploit Jesus. They put on faces (masks) and gave themselves titles-Pharisees- to make themselves seem more important or righteous. But, being righteous isn't boasting or gloating in your incredible power. It's being in right standing with God- being forgiven of your sins and having a sincere heart to love God.

The second thing we need to have is a relationship with people. The people who are dying because they don't have Jesus, fellow, Christians, enemies,and friends, they are all people that we have the opportunities to pour into their lives and have a relationship with them. Having a relationship doesn't always mean that you are best friend and you do everything together-including them rub off on you. Like I stated earlier- we are to be in the world and not of the world. If they are living in sin- don't condemn them and make them feel even worse about themselves. Let Jesus' conviction come over them so that they can understand why it's wrong. Love on them, show them a right lifestyle. They will see you and think you have something special. You spread Jesus' joy by what you say and do. "We will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimonies.." YOU share your testimonies and let them know that you have God's love in your life and how great it is to have. YOU spread Jesus' joy why what you say and do. YOU can have a conversation with them-maybe compliment them if they are having a bad day. Have random acts of kindness in your life, then they can see your example and perhaps they will pay it forward. Even the people who seem to be nothing but bad have a good side. Like I said earlier- it's YOUR responsibility to develop relationships with them. YOU show them God's love. If YOU don't them who will? Their blood will be on your hands because you didn't do your job.

Lastly, a word to the wise about developing relationships. Don't let your quest to bring people to the Lord be a missions field of developing "dating relationships or having a significant other relationship" with people. Trying to be a relationship missionary- trying to "go out" with someone in hopes that you can change them. The truth is that you can't make anyone change. Don't make it your missions field to go out with everyone to change them or make them better- that's not how it works. Develop friendship relationships. God doesn't want you to be unequally yolked- which means he want you to be with someone who is as spiritually mature as you are. He wants a man or woman who can guide you and you can do the same for them. He has someone special and set aside for you, that loves God and wants to develop a relationship with God and People.

As teens it's so easy to be on the quest for the "one." We need to wait on God because when we try to push things to happen they never work out the right way. God has the perfect significant other for you-you just have to be patient and wait on God's timing. While you are waiting- develop relationships with people and show them God's love, and further you relationship with God. Never become complacent in your walk with God- as in thinking it's perfect the way it is and not wanting to change-God wants you to continually want more of Him and to always try to fulfill the great commission-(Mathew 28:19)"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
