Well, I done did it. I finallly gradeated from that there darn school I go to. I feel like I have learned alot. Now, wheres the beer? (I'm just kiddin'.) The Baccalaureate service was the 28th and graduation was the 29th. Those services reminded me that God will always be with us. Through thick and thin. After we went to graduation some of us graduates went to the Senior Salute. Which is basically a big party sponsored by the school to keep the kids from going to their own wild parties. It went on from 10:30 pm to 5:30 am the next morning. If you stayed the whole night you were guaranteed a prize. They gave away several DVD players, TVs, stereos, microwaves, and some other stuff. That is what all my friends got. I got a phone... anyway... dirty rotten... no, I'm just kiddin' beggars can't be choosers (or something). They also gave us fake money and we went gamblin' with it. I stayed at the Roulette table most of the night. Did pretty good. Although I don't know how much money I started with, I ended up with about $7,000. That allowed us to buy raffle tickets for a chance to win another prize. I didn't get anything from that. Boy, I tell you what though. I sure was tired. Living in a town of 10,000 people it is hard to get loss. I swear when I was leaving the community center I didn't know if I was suppose to turn left or right. I guessed correctly. I came home, and crawled right into bed. That is after my dad asked me to go to work with him. He has to get up at about 5:30 am in the morning. He has to go work in the oil fields. Which is what drives this community and supports the multimillion dollar businesses that are in it. Anyways, I'm ramblin'. What I was going to say is that I finally passed a high hurdle in my life. I guess I am ready for the higher ones now.

By the way, while I just shortly before I started righting this, some kids decided to set our garbage dumpster on fire. I didn't even know it until the firemen were already here.
It probably got our wooden fence a little burnt too. I don't know what it is with people that makes them think that stuff is funny. There is a power line pole right next to it. I think that caught on fire too. If the fire fighters hadn't come in time, we could of have live wires on the ground. Furthermore, our shed nearby could have caught fire. Where we would have lost a lot of stuff in, plus we keep gasonline and other chemicals around that thing. Somebody could have gotten seriously hurt. What is the world coming to. Which also reminds me of something that happened during graduation. As soon as it was over, a bunch of the kids took out big cigars and lit up. I mean come on. I even heard one of the kids (And I do mean kids, because that is what a lot of them still act like.) talking on the phone to his mom. He was upset with her because she couldn't find him to give him his cigars. That kind of stuff just frustrates me. Some of you parents out there, (Some of you are good parents, some of you are not.) need to get your act together. I mean, you are rasing the world's future. Our whole society is deteriorating because of behavior like this. Now, before you start thinking I am a nut case because I am talking about the end of the world because some kids smoked cigars just hold on a second. It is the little things that matter. If adults don't know how to act proper, how will the younger generation know. Show some responsibility in everything you do. Remember, there is always somebody that is going to be affected by your actions and the choices you make. And also remember that there is somebody that is always looking at you as well.

On another topic, I thought I would just tell you about the continuing saga of wacky weather around here. Today the wind blew. About 80 miles away, where my uncle lives they had 70 mph winds. They told everyone to stay indoors so they wouldn't get hit by flying debris. He couldn't even see the highway that is about a block away from him because of all the dirt blowing. Golly.
