Long time... no post

this is boredom.

i'm in college now. yeah. and for a year too. i think the last time i messaged this thing was back in high school. i just randomly felt like getting back on.

life is strange lately. i need alot a prayer when it comes to me being patient for God's timing.

that is about it. love you

once again its been a long time since i've blogged on here.  i guess i've just converted to myspace and stuff.  i'm not going to rhyme for your sake but i will have to say that i've bought a new recorder and have some songs up on a myspace.  if you are looking for serious songs go to:  www.myspace.com/joshmitchellofficial  and if you are looking for some funny songs go to:  www.myspace.com/plasmasunrisemusic

ok well, thats all.  i probably won't get on in forever so you better be happy with this lol.  adios

Wow

wow this is crazy.  i don't think i've gotten on xanga since september and since the last blog i had was august.  i guess i will make a new one. to make this look all proffesional i will be pulling off a "essay" formated paper by telling you my points now and then typing about them in other paragraphs.  hear they are:  school, family, church, friends, and just some crazy stuff that i will come up with. here it goes: 

so...first i will be discussing school.  i basically will say that school is junky and i really am not learning anything because i think i'm just trying to get A's and not worry about learning stuff for life.  i think i will discuss school by classes.  first hour i have Adv. Comp.  man it stinks last quarter i pulled off a B+ because the teacher really like to give out B papers.  now to show my dedication to getting all A's in the semester i am pulling off a 95% and trying to go higher.  we are doing a research paper and i am actually a little into it because i get to do it about what i want to do it about.  for instance i am doing mine on Zimbabwe because missions is my passion and i want to allow people to know what all Zimbabwe is going through.  anyway on to next hour i got chucky bleyer in AP american history.  that class is actually fun.  somehow i got an A in it when i expected a C.  we do all these crazy document reading but that is fine because history is one of my favorite subjects and i like to learn about it.  ah...third hour i got Espanol dos.  well i pretty much love spanish and love to speak it, but mrs. karyanis doesn't help to much cause half of the time you can't even understand her english.  and she asigns papers and doesn't tell you when there due and the next day you come in and all 20 of them are due.  well anyway i got an A in there cause i would do all twenty of em' that night for i would get an A.  4th hour ive got pre calc.  mr wall knows soo much about the history of math that it is crazy.  i got a B+ in there to because i haven't really did anything in that class except copy the answers of the homework out of the back of the book.  then we have chemistry next.  i got a straight up B in there because mr davis is really good at explaining things...after you take the quiz.  then i got short fiction which i got an A in but i don't really understand any of the stories i just remember what the teacher says is the answer and right it down.  then i have P.E.  which is really relaxing having it last hour because it feels like i finished school after 6th hour so it doesn't make having a seventh hour that bad. 

so... now that i finally finished school i will head to family.  since i did so much on school i'll just give you a brief rundown on my family.  right now my dad has been gone for two weeks because he is in China.  he should be getting back by the 31 which i can't wait because i really miss him.  exspecially since he left me with all the stuff he usually does around the house. lol. jk.  anyway theres my mom and my sister and we get along really well but they usually dominate the discussions and i just sit there and go...."yes, oh thats cool, yes i know."  you get the point. 

on to church.  church is going great, i've been taking alot of leadership positions lately which i hope will prepare me for youth ministry when i grow up.  i'm the head of the youth praise band as of right now the singer and the head guitarist.  i'm the leader of the youths compassion child, which is us sponsering a child in south america.  then i am playing guitar for some of the kids in AWANA in there council time.  i also am teaching one of the other youth to be able to play praise songs for the youth as well.  overall i like to go to every youth and church event i can for i can be a good role model to the younger youth and show others how to get involved and be able to grow.

now it comes to my friends.  i don't really know what i was planning on putting when i wrote it at the top but i haven't really got time to hang out with my friends that much but every time i get the chance to i do.  the good thing is i haven't really lost any friends and i've been able to make alot of new ones.  i'm hoping at the end of my senior year i will be friends with alot of people.  and everyone will be able to see me as that Christian guy because that's all i should be seen as because i'm God's anyway.

now its time for the crazy stuff.  if you don't know me that well i have this mexican fedish.  i don't really know why i like mexico that much but i just do.  i don't even like mexican food and thats what alot of my friends use against me to try to quit saying that i am "Mexican" lol.  but anyway other crazy stuff.  believe it or not but sometimes i just love to act really dumb.  i think its because i like attention, but doesn't everyone.  but ya i'm pretty bad at getting attetion, so i act dumb.  i don't really do it that often but sometimes its really funny.  i just love to be able to laugh at myself. 

well anyway thats about th end of my discussion.  i will probably never type this much again if my life depended on it.  but ya thats the end so quit reading about me.  uh...
