Nothing To Do

 When I say I have nothing to do, I am 99% of the time lying. If you looked at my life from the outside, you'd think I was always busy. School, work, home, shower, talk to family, and then go to bed. But on the inside, there are always those dull moments that overshadow. When I'm at work and I say I have nothing to do, it's normally because I don't have any food to run or information to give. In reality, I could be rolling silverware, or setting up our dining room. At home when I say I have nothing to do, It's because I'm not with someone or have any homework to do. I could be cleaning or going upstairs to talk to family. Think about it, we always have something to do, it just depends on if we want to do that something or say we have nothing to be doing.

Christmas

 Among all the festivities that take place,

Christmas is the one to embrace;

Family around the tree, 

And gifts waiting to be free.

 

The tree is full of red lights,

As my little cousin, his letter writes;

Asking for a bunny,

But my aunt tells him “ That’s not going to be possible honey.” 

 

We sit all together waiting to eat, 

Hoping that we get the best meat;

We know it is grandma’s decision, 

But we also know she is going to divide it with much precision. 

 

Hoping for a world with more festivities like this in the next few years, 

Where all of my cousins have many careers;

And my grandma is always here,  

Reminding me every time, “ Don’t you fear, my dear, I’m going to be here year after year.”

Journal 5-6-26

     An Ideal summer day is a cool sunny and 75 with clear skies during the day. On this day I will spend time with my friends, do a little fishing, and drive my pickup truck everywhere with the windows down blaring some 90's country. Maybe do a little dirt track racing. To finish the day, a cool thunderstorm with some rain, sitting in the garage watching life unfold outside those wet doors. Wathcing a movie with the family before bed with a nice bowl of kettlecorn.

May the 4TH be with you (2026)

 1. First prompt (What is something about highschool you will actually miss the most?

    - I will miss my underclassman friends, and seeing my best friend every day. Or Ms.Olson

2. Second prompt (What belief or value have you discovered about yourself as your time as a teenager?)

    - I learned that I shouldn't care about what others think about me, and that if I need to go ghost mode, its okay to protect my peace

3. Third Prompt (What is one thing you hope to leave behind with others?)

    - I hope others remember my speech and they remember that it is okay to grow up on their own terms

What are the small things you notice in the spring April 21,2026

 This is the April 21, 2026 journal.

Some of the small things I see is the dry circles around the trees when the trees are just sucking in all the life from the ground, or the way that trees smell when they bloom. I notice that every single spring almost summer time it reminds me of Harry Potter because I first remember rereading it during the spring time. I love Harry Potter and I don't know why the spring time makes me feel like that. I like how the cherry blossoms bloom in Washington and I love how the beach smells.

I Love You Like

 I love you like the sweet sound of a diesel roaring in the wind

I really do olve watching them go down the road 

Roads are crazy they literally go anywhere

Like anywhere

Alaksa is pretty cool with their mountains

I suppose they have roads to but thats not what I would go for

I would go to hunt and enjoy the few

Ok storytime, when I was 10 years old I got my first hunters licesne, but I was very sad that I did not get a deer that year, or the next, or the next, or the next.

However In the year 2020, I got my first deer at 400 Yards away with a 243

I really like that gun

My brother owns it now

And it really needs a new scope. 

And I really need to get a scope for mine. 

I picked the rifle up last year for deer season, but didn’t get to use it. 

It is a 30-06 remington model 700

Did you know that the -06 in 30-06 ment the year that the round was produced, 1906

I ike keeping up do date on random facts like that

Or that the moon is 230,000 miles away from earth

That means that my truck has driven to the moon

Like really, my truck has 268,000 miles on the odometer

Not the original motor thought

It does have a 6.5 detroit in it though. 

You know what else has a 6.5 in it? 

Virgil and I’s new cadillac limo. 

Thats rights, a limo

I took the old motor out and am putting in a beast to go around the race track at the county fair

The ole trailer race

Will have to pull it down there on a trailer, though, well, maybe I'll drive it. Who knows

It would have to drive back home

It would not be the first time I have seen a race car drive to the track

Won't be the last either

The best part is that I will be able to hear

The sweet sound of a diesel roaring in the wind

Journal of April 7th 2026- a view you would turn to often

 I would like to say, I don't have many windows. Something familiar for me and what it is. I can always think tropical beach. My favorite being North Carolina. I love the sound of the waves crashing and the gritty feeling of the sand. My favorite part is the smell. It smells like sunscreen, coconut, salt water taffy, and salt water. I can practically taste the salt water of the beach. The water itself is a pretty blue, with waves as big as moutains. I love how the water is always refreshing. Its not hotter than the weather outside but it is still warm enough where you can stay all day. I think I personally would love to live somewhere warm and cozy yk. So I would love to live there.

Life of Darkness

In the wilderness, the sun I had not seen

Covered in shade, a newer light was a scene

But the brightness could have borne

My darkness has made me mourn

Cordelia chocolate

 March 24, 2026

    I am going to blog about the story of one of the most famous chocolate killer. Her name was Cordelia and she was a not the nicest looking lady but she thought she was and that's all that matters. Now this guy who I can not remember his name, moved him and his wife to San Francisco for a job opportunity. He falls madly in love with her. She was one of the bros you know. she loved drinking beer and having sex and talking about vulgar topics. Now the whole town found out that they were having an affair because they weren't very discreet about it. Anyways it got back to the wife and she and the husband separated. Now him and Cordelia can have an affair in real life. Mind you she was also married just separated because in those times you weren't allowed to divorce your partner. Anyways the guy and her had a whole like party relationship and he became in debt till he got a job opportunity and turned his life around. He moved somewhere and then was like I want to get back with my wife. Well Cordelia didn't take this good and she sent threatening letters to the wife. Then later the wife received a box of chocolate from Ms. C. Now the wife thought it was someone from San Francisco and ate three of the chocolates, her sister also ate three, and the rest of her family ate one or none at all. Now the chocolates were laced with arsenic and so the wife and sister died. 

Anyways Cordelia was given life in jail without the possibility of parole. I am reciting this from memory and also I am giving credit to Bailey Saran and her Dark History podcast.

 Broke Down Again

“Grind Noise” Not the starter failing to work

Why does it always have to be a jerk

Some days I try and communicate to it

Just to get it to quit

The starter's efficiency is falling out the window

Fix it… I don’t know

Better do a service

So that it will safely surface 

The starter is responsible for starting the car

It is not a challenging bar

Innovation is sometimes a key

Training myself to fix this beauty

As I educate myself, it will operate

The respect for my starter is great

Island Story - Marooned

 

 I Am

I stand like my boss when I am thinking

I do small gestures with my mouth that my friends and family do

I work on cars like my past 5 generations

I have a playlist full of songs that calm me when I drive

I am very talkative when I am at home

Drive around, enjoying the countryside as I used to when I was little with my parents

I take off my hat when I am eating

Always pray before I eat

Go to the safari in Ashland every year with friends and family from Omaha

I am Music on a Cassette Radio

acrostic poem

 super cold

never nice and warm

on the trees

winter sucks

gl

Forest

 Unicorns are pink

Until they get shot, then they are red

Well they still are white, they're just bleeding red

truck talking is a life style

Lets go on an Adventure, hobbits

Hmm... Something seems off... I'm the deer in the headlights

"A leaf... for me?" "Thank You":)

I like dogs

Journal 12/8/2025

 what is your ideal day look like?

If I had complete control over my day, I would have no school. I will wake up at 9 and it will be raining. I will be able to read my Frankenstein book. I would watch my favorite movies, Coraline,the Corpse Bride, and the Now you see me series. I would also probably drink hot cocoa. I would also work out because that's what I like to do. I think I would also sleep. Hopefully, I will have fun, and I will enjoy it.

In my house, there are plenty of unique customs that you must follow, or else. Here are a few of them:

1. No shoes indoors

2. Pet all the cats

3. Don’t go in the basement. There’s nothing down there. Seriously.

4. Keep your coats on the ceiling

5. Pledge your undying loyalty to Geoffrey The Almighty Slug God

6. Have fun!

Hope this helps!
