| April 1st, 2005 ~~~~ This is my new layout. It is still very much under construction, but I hope it is better then before. Getting my winter clothes put up today, and getting the house ready for sunday. I haven't done anything to anyone for April fools, but the day isn't over yet;-). Hopefully I will also get a handle on where I am going in my IBLP journals over the weekend. I may be going to dallas for the day on monday. And if I have a good idea on what to do, I can get quite a bit done up there. I am still deciding which header to use... I may just switch 'em out every post. eventually I will also get my mood icons up. Here is an example of a few. |

| April 29th, 2005 ~~~~ I'm feeling: Dangerous - No, that last post was not an April Fools day thing. I didn't realize that I posted that on April 1st till just now. My family took a vacation to Arkansas this month for about 4 days. It was the first one we have taken that was not bussines or school related. We had a blast! Amy and I rode and took care of a couple of horses, My dad and I went 4-wheelin' down mountain trails, shot some video, took some pictures, fished, etc. At the end of it all they gave us a horse! Man it really kinda blew us away! Her name is Dagny, she is a 6 yr old Tennessee Walker, and in excelent health. She is not sadle broken, but has been handled a bit, and is gentle. This past week they offered us an addtitional horse, again for free, so that the first horse will not be lonely. WOW! I don't know much about the second horse, but its all very exciting, and very cool! So, I have to build a barn and fence in the next month. We will be picking them up end of May as they are still in Arkansas. Ok, so aside from that a lot is still going on, but I can't get to it right now. I will go ahead and say that I was accepted into the Big Sandy Training Conference Orchestra! I will be playing down there next week. The Novotnys and alot of other friends wil be there too. Andrew |
| May 1st, 2005 ~~~~ I'm feeling: Out of it - Mainly just tired right now. Tried to help out Isaac get ready for his folks getting back, but our schedules didn't match up. They never seem to LOL. I guess thats just one of those things you gotta get used to. Whats really kind of frightening is that though I seem to have to plan things way ahead, this will be the most care-free time of my life in some ways. Reasons: A: I don't have to worry about feeding myself B: I don't have to worry about feeding my wife/kids C: I don't have a job that keeps me tied up all day D: I don't have classes that keep me tied up all day E: I don't have much book-keeping to do (money goes in, money goes out) F: I have time to sit here and think of these things Reasons why I am very busy right now: A: Building a horse barn/fence, has to be done by end of the month B: Graduation day looms ever closer with me being that much less prepared for it. C: Have to get vocational training NOW so I will be able to feed wife/kids when they arrive in that order D: Have to GROW UP so I don't sit here and just think up these things. E-Z: Many other things that my ever-forgetful brain forgets. Andrew |

| May 16th, 2005 ~~~~~ I'm feeling: In pain - I hurt my arm about three weeks ago, and I think I keep re-injuring it. If I don't use it, it doesn't hurt. But I HAVE to use it, its my right arm for crying out loud... Anyway, my teeth are bothering me too, so I am going to the dentist today. Until I get a php or asp script for a blog, I think I will quit updating it for a little while. Not like I am very punctual about it anyway, but its very frustrating to have to move all the text around every time I want to post something new. Andrew |

~~~~ I'm Feeling - Burned Got a lot of sun yesterday. Was going for a tan. Ended up with a burn. :-D Its pretty severe. Found an awesome truck today. Really, Really cool. But it doesn't really matter because I have no money to buy it with right now anyway... It was at a makeshift used car lot in an old wal-mart parking lot. I'll probably call the number just for grins. It had an inspection sticker on it so I know it works. In a way though thats a bad thing because that means its probably out of my price range... Oh well, its still a cool truck that needs some lovin'. I love my parents! They are so awesome! No, they are not perfect. No we don't agree on everything. In fact we disagree on a lot. But they raised me right, and they love me unconditionally. They are such a blessing in my life. And hey, without them... There would be no me. :-D Our movie is coming along great! The Lord has really blessed this whole thing. Its really not THAT great of a movie. It still looks very amature, and homeschoolerish. But its a whole heck of a lot better then our last one. :-D We went to Family Christian Bookstore where they are selling our previous movie today. At the last minute we got a call saying we needed comunion cups for tomorrow. So my dad and I ran down there (in record time) to buy some. Well, they still had our DVD on display there! I don't think they had sold any... In fact I don't think they really sell much of anything besides music. But anyhow, as we were heading to the church supplies to get the cups, an old friend walked in from the back and said hi. I hadn't talked to her in a while, in fact I didn't even know she worked there. So as we were checking out we talked for a couple of minutes about school and her job and what-not. Then, when my dad and I got in the car, he says "So, who was that lady you were talking to?". HAHA! man, I don't blame him, but he didn't recognize her. He hadn't seen her for probably 4 years, whereas I saw her at her church the previous sunday. So the whole time he is all confused as to how I know this person, and how she seems to know him too. Its pretty funny just thinking about it now. He told me in the car he thought she mistook us for someone else. heh heh. Read some freaky stuff about Gmail and Google in general... Makes me wonder if I need to get a different email server... Oh well... thats life. Ahh. 17 is a weird time in life. Its one of those making or breaking points. You have all the legal constraints of an adult, but none of the priviledges. You feel older and more mature then you ever have in your life, but at the same time you feel like such a kid. You begin to want things in life besides another cookie, or another hour of video games. But some of your foolish dreams die to make way for more realistic ones. And.. you get really freaked out about money... or lack thereof. :-D In many many ways I just can't wait to be 18. But in many many ways I am scared out of my pants at the thought. I plan on being more self-sufficient when I turn 18. Things like paying for my own extra-curricular education. That means earning my own dough. Which means I have to have SOME skill that people will think is worth shelling out a few bucks for. ok ok ok, I am rambling now, so I better move to a different subject. Wow! Its already August! Shoot!!!!! I am so behind. Oh well. Seems like I need a good kick in the pants. Or maybe a steel girder in the head as I was talking with somebody the other day... Wake up calls are good but painful. I guess I really don't want the full treatment. Just enough to get my rear-end in gear. I was thinking about all the things I wanted to get done, or I wanted to have, or I wanted to learn or whatever. Then It was like DUH! Quit thinking "I want"!!! Ok, enough deep thoughts for one evening. Have a great sunday. And a great week. And a great life. I hope that this is somehow benificial to you, and if its not, then quit reading it and do something productive. In Christ alone, my hope is found Andrew Smith July 25th, 2005 ~~~~~ Hey there. ?Sorry its been so long, but I still haven't got a php script yet. Just been pretty busy:-). Working on a new movie. Gonna try to enter it into the SA film festival which the deadline to enter it is September 1st. :-D lot to do between now and then! Amy has written a screenplay and done some storyboarding, so I think we are on the right track headin' the right way. James made me Concert Master of the HCP orchestra. Thats only like 7 violins, but its still all cool. I am excited about it, but I know that means I have alot more responsibility in the Orchestra. Probably means I should cut down on the jokes in the middle of rehearsal:-D just kindding. heh heh Weelll. Got sooo much goin' on and no time really to talk about it, so I'll fill y'all in, in small bites;-) Andrew |
