| So.... It is DEFINITELY time to write another blog! First off, I apologize to all of you off in blog land who thought I died, or fell off the side of the earth, or got eaten by a giant hamster. No no, I'm still here. Alive and well. I just...have been preoccupied? To say the least. These last few months... What has it been? About 4 months since my last blog?! OWCH! Its always been my goal to write like....say at least once a week. But...that never seems to happen. I am seriously going to make a conscious effort to do that this time! And all of you have to like...kick me or something in real life when I start slacking off!!
So. Now....to remember what all has happened in the last few months. To put it lightly. ALOT has happened. Therefore. I think I am just going to touch upon the major things, and use lots of pictures to explain stuff, then I can resume normal blogging. I should set asside a time for blogging! Why not? I have a time set asside for everything else on the sun. Hmmm. Maybe like...right after school, since I have early release. Hmm. Maybe that will do! I guess we shall just have to wait till tommorrow and see what happens after school! If I actually do it...or...dont.
So.... I'm going to look threw my massive array of pictures from the last few months, I think those should hilight some of the important things! Get my mind turning.
SO...lets see. Haha. Here is an interesting picture!
I'm not exactly sure what that has to do with anything... But I just thought it was a funny picture.
Oh! But here is something! I cant remember if this was going on at the time of the lazy blog I wrote! But Amber, Cassie, and I. Every Tuesday go down to the TacoBell in Bellevue and have a small bible study. At first we went over this book Cassie had, it had some short "stories" (for lack of a better term). Right now we are about to start going threw the book "Growing up Christian" that Sam just handed out! We are always willing to have more people come if anyone out there wants to!!
Thats from the bible studdy!
Sooo....lets see. There ias been alot of ice skating these last few months! So here is a picture from that!
 That Aaron, Carli, Alex, Bethany, and Simon!
Now.... Rachel devain came back to town! I dont know how many of you remember her from... Freshman year! Wow...that was a super long time ago.
 Thats her and I.
Here are some interesting pictures!
Those are from when the Youth went over to Pastor Lou's house and raked and stuff! I thought it would be easy. Piece of cake. It wasn't...URG! Maybe I was just out of shape. It WAS summer you know.
Oh! Here are some pictures from my little Mini road trip to Iowa! Grrrrr. I cant believe I waited so long to post. If this post didn't already have a bajillion pictures in it, I would post more. So just let me know if there is anything you wana see more of that I skipped over. So.. We went to Iowa, Drove about...1 hour into Iowa, stopped...ate, and came back and stopped at a Mini-Golf course.... It was pretty fun! I love doing pointles stuff like that!
Thats alex in the back seat of my mustang! Remember her, she comes into play later on.
Thats Bethany and Alex arguing over.....pie I think.
And thats me playing golf! I think I might be explaining something....
http://hs.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=5689508769 Thats the video from mini golfing that day! Its prtty sweet! You should watch it!
So..... Hmmm Hmmm. What else! Ohh! Halloween! I didnt really go trick or treating. We just have a big fire in my back yard and roasted stuff. I think it was pretty cool! But here is a picture from the church Haloween party! Nick And I were...well...if we told you, we would have to kill you.
That picture was taking right after the pie eating contest! Which I happened to win for the second time in a row! Thats why Nick, Me, and Ben are lying on the floor like we are about to die....too much pie!
SOOOO. Now. That brings us up to about...December? Right? So...I have covered...3 months In a nut shell. Ok, that pretty good. So mid December I asked out Alex, she is the girl I told you to remember! So, as of now...we are dating! 
Man, all this not blogging for like half a year stuff just sorta seems to...pop up doesnt it? lol
So...onward! We had the youth retreat! I was stink'n amazing! I might post pictures from that later if enough people want me to!
So. Alas. ONE more thing before I think I conclude this blog.
Simon, Aaron, Alex, and I tried to make Kimbop..... It so didnt work out so well. Well...it did. But we made a MESS. Next time we will be more organized...
http://hs.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=7659158769
That ^ is the video of us making one and Alex trying it. She..didnt like it. Its definitely worth watching! I think it should let you watch it even if you dont have a facebook account. Which I encourage all of you to get! You can set it up to pull your xanga blogs onto it automatically every time you write one on here!
Thats Alex with the chopped carrots for the Kimbop.
Those are the ones I made!
And them all cut up!! Pretty good for a White guy with no Asian in him!!!
Soo....my fingers have grown tired. I think its time to quit. I WILL write again tomorrow! Right after school! You just wait and see!!!

| Wow. So. Its been a little bit since my last blog. I wanted to write right after Homecoming last week...but I didn't want to post a blog until I got the Homecoming pictures back, so that I could post some of them. I have them now...so its blog time!
Well. To start off... We won the Monarchs VS Titan game! We killed them. Finally, in the history of my school...my Sr. year...we finally beat them. I made a flag, and drug it around town and through the parking lot after the game.

So. The next week was Homecoming. But two days before Homecoming Amber broke up with me. I guess I understand her reasoning. I'm glad we broke up on good terms, instead of getting in some stupid argument and not talking to each other ever again. So we still went to Homecoming together! It was awesome! We went with...well, a lot of people, so I'm not even going to try and name everyone off. I don't want to leave someone out and offend them. I had a awesome time! It was the first school dance that I ever made an attempt to actually like...Dance. So I felt like a complete idiot. But...I really had a good time. I wish I didn't wait until my last Homecoming to actually have a good time.
After Homecoming we all went over to Liah's house for a while and played "Ultimate Duck Duck Goose!" Which is basically tackle duck duck goose...with no rules. Haha. It was awesome!
 Thats the picture that was "professionally" taken at Homecomming. I don't like how you can see little white pieces of dust when you click on it and see the big copy...so I'm probably going to clean the scanner and rescan it soon.
We also had a group shot taken, which I'm assuming probably came out well. So as soon as I get a copy of that I will post it up...along with what other pictures people took while we were there!
Hmm. Here is a random picture I promissed would put up. It's Cassie and Amber at Nobbies trying on Halloween costumes!

Ok. So over the summer Amber, Bethany, Cassie, and I all went out to the Old Market and had supper. And we saw one of these "O!" things, and we all took a picture with it. Then I came home and found out that its some sort of omaha area art project, and there are about 20 of them all over the area. So I came up with the great idea of "O!" hunting! So the other day we went out and drove around all day, only stopping to eat lunch, and took pictures of all the O!s we could find. Me, Cassie, Bethany, and Marissa came.
Here are some pictures from that.
 Who needs doors when you have a convertible?!
 From left to right: Me, Marissa, Bethany, and Cassie
 Thats the first O! we came to. Its in the middle of the lake, you can see it inbetween Bethany and Cassie's hands.
 Thats the second one we came to. Its one they made out of wood and then set on fire.
 Cassie tried to jump through it...but she landed in the mud and slipped. So if you notice, she is muddy in all the rest of the pictures. :-p
 One of the O!s is in Boys Town, so this is us on a cool water fountain we found in Boys Town.
 This is the 3rd O! we found. Its the one in Boys Town
 This is the 4th one we came to. It was just kinda in the middle of no where over by the Regency appartments by 132nd street.
 This is all of us ontop of the Regency sign. Some guy whistled at us...or one of us. Not sure which one. Haha.
 This is us by the 5th O! we found! Its on the UNO campus.
 This is the 6th and finaly O! we went to. Its at Memorial park, over by the overpass....obviously, since you can see it in the background.
 And this is Cassie jumping out of the O!
Thats all the ones we have been to so far! Only 16 more to go! Haha...so I'm assuming thats at least 3 more days of O! hunting to get the last few!
Hmmm. What else has happened. Oh! So last night Me, Bethany, Alex, Aaron, and Mike went to the pumpkin patch! It was pretty cool. They have these pedel go carts that you can race in. And since we were like...the last people to leave, they let us go on them as many times as we wanted to. And while I was racing Aaron I took the corner to fast and rolled it. I think Bethany and Alex saw me do it....I do wish someone had gotten a video of that. It was quit the sight. So after that we all went to gun funnel cake. But they were out!!!! Whats up with that?? So we went to Hye-Vee. Which seems like we always go there at the end of what ever we do...its just not complete unless we got to Hye-Vee afterwards. So we couldn't find funnel cake there either...so we all bought caramel apples, and ate them outside in my parking lot. It was super windy....so we sat down next to my car, with the car blocking the wind, and just chilled and ate the caramel apples. But then one of the Frontline Police Men came over and told us since it was like...11pm, and we weren't 18, that we weren't aloud to sit in the parking lot. We could sit in my car....just not, on the pavement.
 There is Alex (left) jealousy looking at Bethany's (right) caramel apple!
Hm. So earlier this month I cleaned and waxed my car (twice). It looked pretty spiffy! But I have since then gotten it dirty...so its about time for another washing. But here is what it looked like when I waxed it for the second time!
 Yeah! Theres my car!
 Look at that spiffy reflection off the hood!
So yeah, thats about it for this time. I just bought a new digital camera. I've realize...I haven't really been taking as many pictures as I use to. Like...I use to ALWAYS have my camera with me when I was with friends...and lately, I like...never do. And I've realized, after my accident....I shouldn't have stopped taking pictures, I should have started taking more. So I'm going to! It's suppose to get here Tuesday! In time for Tuesday night I hope! Here is what it looks like! Its the FujiFilm FinePix Z10fd.

 The front of it slides open and close to hide the lens when your not using it, its 18.8mm thin...so it fits in my pocket!
Picture taking Dan is back!

| So Its been a while since the last time I updated. Way longer than I would have liked! I really want to update this thing more often...But its just so hard! With a job, and school, and homework, and everything else.... *Sigh* But I will start writing in this more often. If that means that I have to pick a day out of the week that is my write a blog day. I will do it!!!
So lets see... I'm trying to go back In my mind and figure out what was the last thing to happen after I wrote that last blog...ummmm.
Probably nothing super important, just little strange things here and there. Oh. Pictures. My cellphone is FULL of pictures, so I think I'm going to write another picture blog today. Although, thats what most of my blogs are...because well, I don't know. I just like including pictures in my blogs. I'm a very....umm. Visual person.
Haha. I remember what was happening way back after I wrote my last blog! BAND CAMP! Oh...that joyfull week of like...a bazillion hours of marching a week. Oh I love that week. Not.
But some interesting things usually happen during that week! For instance...my section had dress like Kellette day! So...of course I had to join in.
(((Remember, you can click on a picture to see a larger one! It takes me a while to set that up! So take advantage of it!!!!)))
 There is my crazy kellet stash'!
And Simon tried to do the same...but It didnt work out to well.
 I guess asian people just cant imitate people who actually open they're eyes all the way.... Haha.
So with band comes the mass ban tp'ing outing. But before that we are a little hungry... So we get a chicken from no frills and eat it.
 Yummmm... It was actually pretty good!
So. We went tp'ing. We really only got one house. Because the sherriff pulled us over and got really angry and called parents. Usually we just tell them we are typing for band camp...but thats usually the city poleice we tell, and they understand. The sheriff wasnt so understanding. So we never got a chance to get mr kellet. But we did get cassies house! Haha.
 I think we did pretty well!
 Her street. We got the light pole across from her house also!
 And what would me going tp'ing be if I didnt do my signature move with the caution tape infront of the front door!
And this.... is all the tp that i have in the garage now...because everyone was afraid of getting caught again, they gave me all the toilat paper. Im not sure what they are afraid of...I mean...its just tp'ing. Theres nothing wrong with that if you do it smart.
 An entire convertible full!
So lets see....lets move one threw the days. What came next. Well, according to my pictures I got a hair cut!
 Woohoo! And looking at that picture it reminds me that I'm about due for another one already!!!
Oh, and then I got my sub and my amp and the wiring kit for them!
 Thats my first sub.... It turnes out it didnt work. So i sent back for a new one, they sent me it. The new one blew out in 3 days. So i sent it back for a new one...and so far...it works still!
Hmm. Haha. Heres something! So me, amber, bethany, and liah went to walmart...just for fun. I'm not really sure why. But we did. They found these pillows. So they took a nap on the floor, right in the middle of everyone....or else...they tried to.
 Theres amber "napping"
 Theres Bethany doing..well, I'm not really sure...
 And Liah is pulling the supposidly "napping" Amber!
Not sure what this is from.... but I thought it was a cool picture. A storm off in the distance...and simons hand giving a thumbs up!
 yeah.....
So. Here is another picture I have found! At church we have this thing were you stand on a ball thingy, and you have a rope...and you try and pull the other person off. Its like...ultimate tug of war or something. Its pretty cool!
 I think Sam won. I was pretty good at that game...till they figured out what I was doing and my week point...
So...as I was casually strolling though hobby lobby I passed the modle car section. Now, I have never touched a model car in my life, but as I was walking by them I happened to see my exact car! Year and everything! So you know....I had to buy it! And I did! And now I am in the process of painting it and putting it togeather... Its alot more work than I thought it would be. I have NO idea that I would actually have to paint it and stufffff!! Ahh.
But here is how far I am at the moment!
 I think its comming togeather pretty well. You can see the body, the engine, and the exhaust. That little engine/gold thing you see has about 20 different parts that are painted 5 different colors. Ah! Ridiculous! But I'm still working away at it!
Hmmmm. The other day like... Simon and Aaron wresled in my front yard. It just kinda happened. So I took a picture!
 I would say Aaron is winning!
Yesterday. I cleaned my car, the windows, the plastic, the body, treated the plastic, the tires, the convertible top, cleaned the windows, and waxed the car....and then it rained.... But it still looks pretty spiffy! And the rain water just beads straight off now! its tight! Here is a picture of my car that I took last night right after youth group!
 Yeah. Notice the water and condensation in the headlights. NOT GOOD! They are only about..a month or two old, and I spent $225 on them! So I'm trying to get ahold of customer service to see whats up with that and if they will fix them or send me new ones.
And this picture.... Its just kinda... Random.
 Look! A distraction! Ah.
Yeah....dont ask.
Hmm. Im trying to think if there is anything else that has happened this last month that is important. Well. Hmm. Oh, I took this picture! Im not really impressed with it. Thats why I havent named it and put it up on DeviantART. Tell me if you like it. Some people like it. If enough people like it I might just add a title, frame it, and stick it up on my DeviantART accound!
 Thats a picture of the sunset right after that storm we had a few weeks ago. Actually. Now that I'm looking at it a while after i've taken it....I kinda do like it! Its one of the HDRI pictures. I took 3 pictures, one right after enother, each with different exposures, and them combined them all togeather. Google "HDRI" if ya wana know more!
So yeah. Thats about it for this session! I really will try and update like...SOON! Wow...I just spent an hour and a half writing and putting up pictures! So be thankfull! And if yer reading this blog on my myspace go comment my new pictures! lol

| So. Its been a while since my last entry...and well, theres been a lot that has happened since it! So... Yeah. Hmm... Well, I have a lot of pictures that I want to put up here. So.. This is going to be a "picture blog". I'll let the pictures explain how the past few weeks have been!
First off...
Well...I took the tires off of my car..

And I shined them up.... they look spiffy! Well they did...when I took the picture. I need to buy a..what is it, a buffer. I couldnt get them as shiney as I wanted to by hand.

Amber and I tagged Bethany's car...and Dairy Queen:

 You cant tell from the pictures...but those strands of caution tape an orange stuff are running allll the way across the parking lot to the door of DQ, and are tied to it. Haha. It was great!
So. At work... I managed to get cold fudge on the ceiling. It was quite an accomplishment. I dropped the pump thing with the cold fudge upside down, and it hit the pump thingy and sprayed it on the ceiling. Ha.
 You can see it on the ceiling there...
 And that is where I had dropped it.
 And thats me cleaning the pumps. Not sure why I took that picture...
So.... Next thing. For our service project after Thursday bible study the project was to help burn important church documents that we no longer need. And I got some pictures from that as well...sooo. Here we go!



It rained a few days ago while Bethany, my sister, and I were at DQ just hanging out...and I guess Matt was put in charge of taking down the umbrellas in the rain. He came up with this clever but funny way of keeping the rain off of him...
 Haha...that cracks me up!
Anyways...so.... Its band camp week! That means 7 or 8 hours of marching for an entire week. Ah! So...
 Thats Simon during music rehearsal. He is Asian. Ha.
 Playing tug-a-war to see which which section is truly the best.
 Look a trombone tree! One of these always seems to just...spring up during band camp.
Oh! And so I got new headlights for my car a few weeks ago. Well, my tail lights and mustang vinyl bumper inserts finally came in too!
So here are some pictures of those!
 There are my new tail lights!!!!
 There is the new mustang logo on the back of my car!
 And there is the one on the front!
 And here is a picture of my car with no tail lights. Looks kinda cool...sorta.
Ok.. so. This is cool! Before this week I honestly think I could count the number of times I picked up my bible to actually read it, with out being forced to do so. With only the fingers on my hands. But this week, I just...I actually want to read it. I have found myself reading it every day this week, and I really want to continue to do so! Also, there are a few areas where I always had problems and would always sin and this week. All of the sudden. I just...quit. I mean, I'm not saying all of the sudden I'm perfect cuz well....I'm not, no way. There are still a lot of things I need to work on, but I noticed all of the sudden a significant like....difference. I don't know how to put what I want to say into words. But this week its just like...I can feel God changing me.
I'm so sore and tired. Band camp from 7:30AM to 11:30AM, and then from 6PM to 9:30PM. But today I have to be there at 4:45. Thanks a lot section leader. :-p Thursday is the customary mass band TPing outing. Be prepared!
