Dangerous Business

I don’t know what it is about blog that I start them, do very well with updating them for a couple months, and then nothing. It’s like I completely forget that I have them at all. I imagine part of it is laziness. Not feeling like writing down everything that’s going on in my life right now.

Of course part of it is that I am still unemployed. Not having any good stories to share about my experiences at work is not conducive to a good blog post. That shouldn’t stop me though, because I have plenty of other things that I could be writing about. So, I guess I’ll just write about those things this time. Maybe. If I can remember them all.

Well, for starters I just got back from Pigeon Forge, TN. with all of my family and friends. It was particularly awesome, since we were camping. Most of us anyway (looks at Kyle and Clint). Jim Leslie and myself slept out under the stars all weekend. It was a really nice weekend for it. My only complaint is that the second night, we put up a canopy and dew collected on it and started doing chinese water torture on me in the middle of the night.

We went to Dollywood on Saturday and had a pretty good time. The “kids” and adults pretty much spent the entire time in oposite ends of the park, as near as I can figure. At the end of the day we met back up with them, and the girls, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie, and my father went roller-coastering. Kyle, Clint, and I went off to the other end of the park to the musical instrument store, and then went and got funnel cakes. Yum.

On the way out of Dollywood, Clint and I bought Rachel a baby sippy-cup, to everyone’s delight. It was pretty hillarious.
After that, 6 of us piled into Kyle’s Jeep Wrangler and drove around Pigeon Forge for about and hour, trying to find our way back to the campsite. It probably wouldn’t have been so bad, had we not been trying to avoid the classical car show (and had I not piped up and said I thought I remembered the way). We passed a couple cops, all without seatbelts, and lap sitting going on in the front seat. Awesome times.

I know that we did a ton of stuff that made us absolutely bust with laughter, but of course I can’t remember any of it now.
I do remember one of the funny things we did was… Kyle, Clint, and myself hid under the Jeep (laying on the ground), and waited for the girls to come walking by to scare them. When they finally did, Kyle and I were pointed the wrong way, and Clint didn’t act. So, we just were “chillin’” under the Jeep for a couple more minutes untill they shined a flashlight under the Jeep because they thought my shoe was a duck.

Anyway… Something else pretty neat going on right now, is that I am working on a script for a short film/movie to show at church or Elevate. I have the youth pastor’s backing, and he gave me some ideas for it. I still need to talk to our Sr. pastor about it though. It’s going to be a pretty big project, but hopefully with the Church’s help, I’ll be able to do a lot of things that I normally wouldn’t be able to. I am already starting up character designs and trying to figure out feasible special effects shots. Might even have to do a couple of prosthetics for scars. Goodness…

However, I am getting ahead of myself. I still need to finish the script. At least the youth pastor said he would help me with it, once his schedule clears up a bit. Which would be a couple months most likely. Why do things have to always be so complicated?

Letsee… What else… Ah yes, I started the application process for Moody Bible Institute in Chicago. I still need to go over to Dalton state here in town and see what all they want for the application process. I went onto their website, and I swear they purposefully don’t want you to figure out how to do anything on it. It’s crazy.

Okay… that’s it for now I think. Tah tah!
