What to write about?

I really have no idea
No one has really blogged recently and I've been busy with school, so I haven't blogged either.
Man, quite the double edged sword.
So...
Yeah, SBC had their musical "Cantata" today at church, and I had a solo
No big deal, I never really wanted me, but since I was asked, I delivered. It was fun.
I saw a bunch of cameras
I hope someone to to pictures of us soon.

Star Wars comes back to haunt

So recently I was watching the classic, Stars Wars, Episode 4, A New Hope. It's a really good movie. And there's a scene where Luke, Han, Chewie, R2-D2, and C3PO escape the Death Star with Leia. And two things struck me. There's a line where he talks about delusions of grandeur. It's always really struck me for some odd reason. Because i feel that this whole fencing dream of mine has gotten me to a mentally, not right state of myself. And I gave thanks to God that he has humbled me and has brought me to rely on him again

Fencing Journal #1 Please, unless you want to read my rambling, don't read

Alright, fencers I faced.
Sarah Parker 3-2 W
Blonde dude whos name I forget 10-5 W
Chris (Or is it Dan?) 4-5 L
Victoria 5-10 L

Alright, starting with Sarah.
Yes, it looks like I barely won, but I was clearly the better fencer yet there is much to improve upon. She isn't the fastest fencer, or she just doesn't give her all in practice, which doesn't make sense to me, if you don't put your all in practice, there's no way you can get better. Well Sarah's game is slow and the best way to beat her is to speed up the match, and play to my strength, which is slow controlled motions with fast intensive burts. its like a mix of both styles. sped it up then slow it down then just mess with her head. that'll do it. that's i've learned.

I really don't have time to continue, so this will resume at a later time

Aghh! I was doing so well!

Man, I was doing so well with keeping up with my blog. But unfortunately, school has rendered my blogging to be worth nothing. And so I have finally something to blog about!
I finally started my classes at MVHS, even though I am home schooled I still take Tech Theatre and Mixed Chorale, taught by Mr.H and Mrs.Keene. Fabulous teachers.

But at first I was quite skeptical, but I now know that it was all a silly matter. I felt like I didn't like the class because I didn't know anyone. But now I know people, I hope I have a good year. PRAY FOR ME PLEASE!

Let's try something new

So yesterday I was running around in the rain and flood water of Apple Grove. Down the street from me there is a park with Tennis courts that is some 40 yards away from a creek that sepperates us from Quantico. Normally its at a depth of around 5 to 6 inches. But thanks to the rain it rose to a depth of around 10 feet. No joke. So all of the water spilled into the tennis filling it with water knee deep. So naturally me and my friends went swimming it. And funny story, my friend Johnathan (not Cain) was riding my bike through the water, hit a drainage pipe and flipped. It was the funniest thing ever. But later after I got dried and me and my friend Jeremy got back outside, Johnathan was out with some of the friends I used to hang out. and it was awkward. I automatically knew that I shouldn't be there. I've done a few dumb things but this, there was no mistaking it. I felt the Holy Spirit saying, "Robert, get out of here. This is the wrong crowd. You were wrong. Get out of here." And so I went home. This was I am shure this was a sing that I'm growing

I find the color of the blade to be quite interesting. I don't know if you can see it all that well, but my blade is made out of Gold. No joke.

The Pre-mature stages of a new beginning

So here I am, right no, in a hotel in Knoxville Tennessee. Funny, I just talked about spelling Tennessee just recently with my mom. It's going to be in alot of E-Mails and blog posts. Yes it is time, the time has come to send my beloved sisters of to college, Union University to be precise. And it's going to be really odd. For starters, this is the first family road trip that I have not been with my sisters. They are driving themselves in their car, all tricked out with their new Union bumper sticker. And when we finally get to Union and we unload, our Honda is going to be empty. Because we barely brought anything for ourselves. Heck, there was was no room. I'm really going to miss those girls. But the best thing is that it's not the end, it's a new beginning. For them at the least.
But I have my own (sadly selfish) reasons for being excited. For starters I am getting a new Epee with a gold blade with a Visconti pistol grip. And yes people, there will be pictures.
