My UE so far set to music.

Enjoy...

Hey Dad and Mom did I do anything like this???

Which brings up the question Kaitlyn is almost two... is she going do something like this???

Well it leaves something to be pondered doesnt it.

A boy and His Cannon

Re-Exploring life with my Canon...

I have'nt been around for a while with my blog. Although I am going to make an effort to post more.

So here is some photos I took today just walking through the City reflecting on my life.

Discarded...

love something from nothing.....

discarded, broken, and forgotten

fragments that once held import in this life we share,

resurrected and reassembled into a new wholeness and beauty.

From littering the gutter to the beauty which is held within my lens.

I have come to see through the lens of the life that life has its gutters. In the broad view all we can see is the trash. When you see it as work haveing to clean it up you resent it you do not want to have anything to do with it. But when you look at it all through the lens of the camera, the gutter becomes a whole new world. Its a world that is unexplored by most. It is a world where you can let your imagination run free. You can choose what life looks like through the lens of a camera. Through that same lens you can also find th e worst in life but with a good imagination. A little bit of time and a camera its as if the Gates to the universe open up before you.

To all you photographers out there please take a moment to critique these aspects of life...

Mom's Overture

2008-01-20T18:45:00.000-08:00

Well I haven't been typing for a while.

So to bring everyone back up to speed. Not much has happened.
I had all four wisdom teeth removed, and I still cant really eat solids.

But I figured I would put this video out there for my mother.

If all moms had the chance to do this I believe they would.

So here is to all the moms out there.

The above is something I stumbled upon and thoroughly enjoyed.

I don't know how some people view their mothers.
But I would have to say mine is amazing. Not only can she cook like you would not believe.
But she teaches and runs a full household every day of the year. I am just amazed she doesn't sing this song as she goes. I promise if she sings this song I will definitely post it too.

My mom has been there for me for basically everything. One Proverb she referred to a while back. Is from Proverbs

These are the sayings of King Lumuel—an oracle his
mother taught
him.
“O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, do not spend your strength on
women, your vigor on those who will ruin kings.
“It is not for kings, O
Lumuel—not for kings to drink wine, not for rulers to crave beer, lest they
drink and forget what the law decrees, and deprive all the oppressed of
their
rights. Give beer to those who are perishing, wine to those who are in
anguish;
let them drink and forget their poverty and remember there misery
no
more.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for
the
rights of all who are destitute. Speak up for those and judge fairly;
defend the
rights of the poor and needy.”

Proverbs 31: 1-9
Pretty deep stuff if you ask me. She showed me how to do that throughout most of my life. So I figured to say thanks I would post the following as well.
MOTHERS

There’s no greater power on earth Than the love we get from our mothers. They feel our fears within themselves Far more than sisters or brothers.

As seasons pass; in time we learn We can’t always rely on others. No mater what our mistakes may be We know we can run to our mothers.

Mothers have great big aprons To hide from the world our flaws. They kiss and scold when we do wrong Teaching compliance of laws.

From birth to death mothers lead Our angels of kindness from above. They give us more than anyone else Preaching the importance of love.

Moms are certainly God’s wrath shown to earth

Pedofile Week

2007-10-23T23:41:00.000-07:00

As some of you know I post off and on...

A big thing that is happening on the internet is the amount of pornographic material found all over the web. You can search for the most inocent subject and boom something appears that probably shouldn't.

I have been watching different videos on YouTube and I came across a video by mikeskehan.

I felt that it would be appropriate to post as he is placeing some very real issues down on the table about unattended children on the internet...

Please Keep in Mind none of these videos are my exact feelings I agree and disagree with some of the things said. But it is worth putting out there for the awareness factor...

My Suzuki...

2007-08-12T20:53:00.001-07:00

For all of you out there that knew I was looking at buying a vehicle, I did it.
this is my car in a glimpse:

0 - 60 (sec): 9.3 seconds

1/4 Mile (sec @ mph): 17.0 @ 79.6

60 - 0 (ft): 137

Slalom (mph): 60.7

Skid Pad (g-force): 38.7

Acceleration Comments: The smallish 2.7-liter V6 surprised us with its spirited
performance. Power delivery is smooth, and with a four valve-per-cylinder engine
that redlines at 6,500 rpm, it makes most of its useable power at the top of the
rpm band. Our best run was achieved by short-shifting the engine at 6,200 rpms
on each shift instead of revving to the 6,600 rev limiter cut off.

Braking Comments: Braking performance is adequate but a little off the class leaders' (which
all range in the 120 bracket). That includes the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute and Toyota RAV4, all of which we have recently tested. The ABS system does have a moderate amount of noise while in operation, and the XL7 has only fair
stability while in full-on braking mode.

Handling Comments: We may have a new SUV slalom king here. The Suzuki Grand
Vitara XL-7 is one of the best SUVs we've ever taken through the field of cones we call the
slalom. Granted, suspension design and driving skills have improved since we last tested one of its competitors, but this vehicle is a handler.

Generally, tossable should not be a term that comes to mind when thinking of SUVs, but that is exactly how we felt about the XL-7. It does have body roll, but it is a controlled amount that instills confidence rather than fear. The steering is quick and precise, allowing you to slice
and dice your way through life's obstacles. — Neil G. Chirico

This past few days I drove up to Tulameen and assisted my Grandfather and Grandmother with various chores around the campsite.

There was a new electrical panel to be put in. That was intresting to watch as Uncle Buddy installed it and showed how everything went together and compared how the old interior looked compared to the new interior. Basically everything should always be neat not wires all over the place.
Then there was the clothing line to be put up. Oh and a tree to be pulled down...

Well thats pretty much sums up my new toy...

Computers?????

2007-07-01T17:31:00.000-07:00

For some reason automotive companies depend heavily on computers these days...

Everything used to be manually done

Computers have Genders

2007-07-01T17:22:00.000-07:00

Is a computer male or female when someone is refering to it?

Well this question was discussed in a spanish class.

The Spanish Computer

A Spanish teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike
English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
''House'' for instance, is feminine: ''la casa.''
''Pencil,'' however, is masculine: "el lapiz.''
A student asked, ''What gender is 'computer'?''
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two
groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves
whether
''computer'' should be a masculine or a feminine noun.
Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.

The men's group decided that ''computer'' should definitely be of the
feminine gender (''la >computadora''), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is
incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for
possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending
half your paycheck on accessories for it.

(THIS GETS BETTER!)
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be
Masculine(''el computador''), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to >turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time
they are the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a
little longer, you could have gotten a better model.

The women won,

or so they think... Like computers once an idea is imbeded into their systems it doesnt extract very easily so rather than argue and fuss over it the men decided to ignore that fact and just move on.

Something Happened... Retaliation to commence???

AFV??? Will this hurt?

2007-05-17T23:38:00.000-07:00

Things you should know some from personal experience all from America's Funniest Home Videos

Stay away from kids trying to hit a piñata.

If you're wearing a wedding dress, never try to ride a horse.

An acronym doesn't always have to contain a letter for each word in the thing for which it is an acronym.

Grandpa's pants are, in all likelihood, ill-fitting.

Homemade bike ramps should only be used by, well, nobody.

Babies sometimes fall asleep while sitting up.

Many beams are lower than you'd think.

If you touch a dog in a certain place, they bare their teeth and growl in an amusing way.

People are sometimes startled when they're woken up from a nap by loud noises.

If you shoot enough video, somebody, somewhere is eventually going to make a basket from half-court.

The tree you cut down is going to fall in a direction you didn't expect.

Before using a barbell, make sure the weights are secured on both sides.

Kids getting hit in the face, not funny. Kids getting hit in the face on video, funny.

Noses and parrots are natural enemies. Same goes for lizards.

Children aren't always respectful when it comes to not pulling off a relative's toupee at a family gathering.

Most swings have weight limits that are less than you'd suspect.

Cats can be clumsy, especially when they're around TVs.

Many people think you'll call your significant other the wrong name during the heat of passion, but we all know it will probably happen during your wedding ceremony.

Baseballs like testicles.

When it comes to backyard trampolines, "What goes up, must end up with a contusion."

Llamas spitting is not an urban myth.

The walls of many aboveground swimming pools appear to be made of a material similar to rice paper.

The false teeth of many elderly people aren't affixed properly.

Birthday cakes and wobbly tables don't mix. It should also be noted that birthday cakes have the inexplicable ability to attract the human face like a magnet.

Pets don't really talk, but sometimes it sounds like it.

Nothing good can come from pogo sticks.

Lifting someone over your head while dancing intoxicated could lead to an unfortunate, albeit humorous, accident.

Many Christmas trees stands aren't made to withstand the weight of the tree and a person.

Everything, yes everything, is funnier when accompanied by a wacky sound effect.

Any host of "America's Funniest Home Videos" is likely to be the most bland, unfunny individual ever to appear on television.

A New School Year

2007-02-05T21:59:00.000-08:00

Well its been about three weeks into my school year out here at Prairie.

The start of this semester was kind of rough. I bought a new laptop over break, the first thing that happened back here is I slipped and fell with it, and wrecked the hard drive. Lost all my Music all forty gig of it. equaling twenty-thousand some odd songs, which is a year and 8 days of non stop music. That was kind of annoying.

This semester I am taking four courses.

Tuesday/Thursday

Introduction to Writing and Research with Adam Barkman if anyone knows anything about English grammar its this chap. I never knew that English was so complicated. Probably the most confusing class thus far. although among the most interesting.

Spiritual Formation and the Church with Steve Ibbotson

Advanced Computer program usage with Steve Ibbotson this guy is amazing how he is able to transition between to completely different types of classes and be ready to fully teach either class to its full potential.

Wednesday/Friday

Introduction to Psychology with Kevin Peters who is an awesome prof always has a good joke lying about to start the class of with, then a mind boggler for the end of class. By far the best thing about him is he loves what he is doing and he shows it.

Back in Vancouver

2006-12-23T14:30:00.000-08:00

Well I have not posted in a bit. Exams and such make for a busy life.

I have been working for the past couple weeks for a construction company.
Other then that I have not been doing very much. I spend the time I am not working sitting around doing nothing reading a book usually. Well thats the low down.

I am doing nothing. I got nothing to do.

2006-11-20T20:33:00.000-08:00

Okay so I am a week past reading break.

I spent my past week writing and rewriting papers.

I am currently finishing up a paper on, "women in church ministry".

Papers are not my most favourite thing to write in the world.

But I found this one interesting. People have such different views on this subject.

I would love to hear some of your views.

If you have the time email me at thekdguy@hotmail.com and answer the question.

Do you think women should be involved in church ministry? Why or Why Not?

Should they be in Lead pastor roles? Why or Why Not?

answer any other questions you can think of...

I have written some book reports so far. A paper on Paul's Christology, and a paper on Pre-Maritial Sex. Some interesting topics to write on. If your interested in reading my findings send me an email and I will you a copy of the paper.

Sheep 1 Me 0...

2006-11-20T20:22:00.000-08:00

Well I am safely back from reading break and such.

Sheep tagging is something I never expected to do. Yet I assisted or at least tried to assist tag the sheep. What you have to do is sort of pin the sheep than hold it still as it gets its ear tag. I am still unsure of how to do it. I had a lot of trouble trying to get those sheep on the ground or pinning them.

So I ended up standing on the side keeping them from going out through chute.
Fine rancher I would make. Cant even beat a little ol' sheep. Anyway that was my weekend experience with sheep.

What????????!!

2006-11-06T16:13:00.000-08:00

OK There are a lot rumors going around!!

I will not name names here. But I was asked by a couple people who I got married to (MIKEandANGE). Do not believe all your sources, I am not married. If anyone knows otherwise please inform me, and let me know who to.

Being left in the Dark is rather unfair in situations like this.

To answer the question people have asked my mother {Yes I still talk with my parents some times...} or emailed me.

Did he find anyone?

If referring to other people.
Well sure I guess I found 400 people I have never met before and counting.

If referring to a girlfriend or something like that.
Defiantly not as such yet.

Do you have anyone special?

Of course who doesn't.

Who are your friends?

I have friends???? really....

What do you spend the most time doing?

Homework

What do you do to pass the time?

Homework

What do you do for fun?

Homework

What do you have the most fun doing?

homework... No wait um... uh.....

Homework..

Email any other questions to me I will answer them eventually.

Internet?? Whats That???

2006-11-06T11:16:00.000-08:00

The Internet....
A sometimes useful item...

Makes it self even more usful when writing papers, and figuring out what else profs would like done or suggest that you read. Spending a whole weekend trying to get a signal strong enough to use is not fun at all. Now that staff in the technologies department are back on campus, after a weekend of no internet. The system is now finally reset, I can finally use the internet again!!!

Otherwise I had a fairly productive weekend. Finished all my non-internet based homework.
I am now just starting my internet based homwork. Updates to come later...

Tired and confused or somthin like that.

2006-10-31T14:20:00.000-08:00

Things are just going by one step at a time. makeing it through papers and other stuff slowly. Spending time wondering what am I actually going to do when I get out of school.

What does life hold for me in the future? I wish I knew know. There is many things I wish I know. So many things I wish could do and say, but at this point I cant do anything. Could type more, but I am basically writting to say I am still alive.

Well back to homework.

Being Homeschooled

2006-10-22T13:28:00.000-07:00

For those of you who do not know me I have been Homeschooled my whole life.

There are some misconceptions I have heard about homeschoolers.

One of them being Homeschoolers do not make it to college.

Interesting statement. Um, guys I am a homeschooler and I am in College taking aviation courses.

Two Homeschoolers are shut ins.

Ok, if you say so. How many of you have gone rock climbing. Climbed a 600 foot crack. Gone whitewater canoeing for a week and a half covering 150 miles.

That's just two of which I have to comment on.

I was asked to answer the following questions.

How Long were you Homeschooled?

I have been homeschooled since I was... Well lets just say for as long as I can remember.

Did you ever wish you weren't?

Let me ask you this question did you ever wish you did not have to be in school? Of course you have. Its the same with homeschooling. There is that perfect day outside or something you would really like to be doing. Instead of being inside. So to answer that question yes I wished sometimes I was not homeschooled.

What was being a homeschooler like?

It was Normal. Well at least to me. Sometimes it was distracting especially with little siblings running around.

What was your favourite part?

My favourite part was being able to go play. During the school year when it snowed I was able to go enjoy it before it melted or started raining. Which was cool considering in Vancouver we never get snow.

What was your least favourite part?

Was all the writing.

If anyone has anymore questions email them to me or comment on this blog or whatever else you want to do.

(This Blog is another that is being blamed on my mother and whoever put her up to asking me)

A Fathers Love

2006-10-19T11:59:00.000-07:00

My Mother recently sent me this link.
http://cjcphoto.com/can/ Do not click it yet.
It is about boy and his father. I know my father loves me.
But as I read this guys story and what his dad went through.
I reflected on my life sure I admit I was not the best kid in the world.
I did some pretty stupid things. But if it was not for my fathers love, and his ability to explain things to me. I probably would not be the person I am today. I am sorry I did not figure out sooner that my Dad is usually always right.
I know that he would do whatever he could to make my life the best it can be.
If I was in the same position as the kid in this movie. I am dead sure my dad would do the same thing. So thanks for being there for me dad.
You got me to where I am now. If it was not for you and mom pushing me through life.
I would probably be a high school drop out. Working at some cheapo job somewhere.
I love you dad. Thanks for being there for me, and for pushing me through life.

alright now you can click on the link.
http://cjcphoto.com/can/

Alright they figured it out!!

2006-10-15T14:54:00.000-07:00

I love reading. I do not mind the research.

So giving me books is fine. Asking me to research something

But all the writing!!
I rather dislike all that writing. In fact if it was not for my mother (sorry mom but I need to blame someone) I would not even be writing this blog thing.

Well I have distracted myself from writing the other thing I should be writing.
