Now in the 17th Year of my Fantastic Life

Last Thursday, the 18th, was my birthday. I am only one year away from becoming an adult. That is kind of wired. Anyways, I had a great day filled with birthday wishes. On Friday, I had a party at my house with 12 of my friends. We had fun just hangin out. After a while, we decided to go to the church parking lot to play hide and go seek. By far the best time that I have ever had at church. It was intense! We went back to the house and sat around the fire pit for a while. We took some pictures by the fire that turned out really cool.

Also, I got the thing that I have been waiting for. My iPod touch arrived. In fact, this post is coming to you directly from my iPod. It is by far the best thing that I have ever got on my birthday.


Thanks everyone for wishing me a happy birthday on the 18th.

When there is no time to breathe...

... there is no time for blogging. I have found it hard to post things on my blog ever since I began participating in the blogging world. Even though I have absolutley no time, I will not give up on seansid.com. I have had a great time sharing my thoughts (rarely) with new people and I really hope that I get somemore readers. I know that the lack of posts does not help me gain anymore readers.

If there is any advice that you have for me, please share.

Thanksgiving

I have always loved Thanksgiving.  It is a time when family comes together to fill there stomachs with food that is only served on day a year.  It is a time when football is on TV all day, just like a Sunday.  A time where you can watch the Lions lose and and the Cowboys win.  This year, we even get to watch the Cardinals win.  Thanksgiving is when the chips and dip are at my disposal all day long.  When all the girls are in the kitchen all morning and afternoon, preparing the food that we will all devour between the 1:00 and 5:00 football games.  

I am just happy right now and you should be too.

Have a great Thanksgiving!

RK on All About Worship

Our worship leader was interviewed on All About Worship.

You can check out the interview here.

**Rich, I was kind of hoping for a plug to seansid.com at the "new generation" part of the conversation.  I'll forgive you though.

Those Broncos are KILLING ME!

I can't take it anymore!  They have to play some type of defense.  It is ridiculous!  My dream team has been crushed because of injuries.  They are droppin like flies and I can't do anything about it.  All I can do is try to show my support and not give up on them.  Thank goodness the Chargers suck too.  What a relief.  Because if we were in any other division we would be squished like bugs. 

I still love the Broncos.  Jay Cutler is the most awesomest person ever.  Except he always looks angry.  It is just cause he is such a fierce competitor though.  Brandon Marshall continues to amaze the world.  I could ramble on and on about 'em.  I won't for your sake though.

Over and Out

Election Night

TOUCHDOWN

Something that I have started to enjoy these last two years has been watching our high school football team.  I got really interested in it once I started taking pictures for a lot of the guys' myspace profiles.  This year has deffinetly not been a boring one.

Yesterday was the much anticipated game against the #1 team in our division.  It was talked about around school all week and was supposed to be a great game.  It turned out to be just that.  A lot of people came to the game which was over an hour away.  It was much louder on our side of the field then that of the home teams.  We would get off to a rough start as we went down 14-0 in the first half.  In the final seconds of the 2nd though, we got a much needed touchdown.  We then came out in the second half and were suprised by yet another TD.  A bad snap on the PAT would lead to a 20-7 score.  We would come back however, and take the lead on a touchdown (picture above) with 4 minutes left.  The opposing team would not be able to stir up a comeback of their own and we would go on to win with a final score of 21-20, the same score that we beat them by last year.  

Can't wait for next week!  Kill Calvary!

The Best Halloween That I Have Ever Had... With NO COSTUMES

Yesterday was a great day.  I did not expect for it to be so great seeing as how most of my Halloweens have included sitting by the front door handing out my candy to 14 year olds who should have stopped trick or treating a while ago.  This year was different.  I went to my friend Kristy's house.  It was really fun.  We played some pool, did a little bit of karaoke and played some good ol Egyptian rat slap which has proved to be the most fun card game in these United States of America. 

There was only part of the night that I did not enjoy was when we visited some haunted houses.  According to my friends, none of the places were scary.  I still know that they were lying because I came out of those houses holding onto the back of my friend Joey's shirt so hard that I think I almost put a hole in it.  I came out of the second house sweating harder than I ever had before.  I think that I almost died in there.  

The good thing is that I did not have any nightmares last night and I got to sleep in a little bit which is the best thing in the world for me right now because of that nasty cold that I can feeling coming on me.  

Hope all of your Halloweens were as good as mine.

Finally

The Ducks have finally got their season underway... thank goodness.  We started out the season 1-4 but we have come back with three wins in eastern canada.  We beat Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal.  It has been a really good road trip for us and hopefully they will keep it going when they return home after one more game in Columbus.  

GO DUCKS!!!

The Broncos... why oh why

Why oh why did this have to happen?

On such a happy day.

On such a happy night.

Why oh why did Andre Hall fumble twice in the 1st quarter?

Not once.

But two times.

Why oh why did are defense become defenseless?

A defense...

Defenseless?

Why oh why to the Patriots?

To Matt Cassel...

and freinds.

Why oh why did Jay Cut have to hit his finger on the other dudes helmet?

A finger...

Noooooo, not just any finger?

Why drop to 4-3?

I can believe it.

I can't stand for it!

Why oh why when I cheer so hard that my throat starts to bleed?

I won't just cheer...

I will DIE FOR THE BRONCOS!

Hope you have a good day man.

Youth Group

I have been actively involved in our youth group ever since I was allowed to be a part of it.  We have had our ups and downs as a group and as a church, but I feel that we are really doing some great stuff as of recently.  Our youth pastor and his wife just left about 5 months ago.  They had been a part of the group for 2 years and had done a great job turning things back around after things had been twisted all out of shape from some tough times.  They were in charge of the middle school and high school ministries.  Now that they have left, we have hired a new middle school pastor Erin.  So far, he has done a great job with the 6th, 7th and 8th graders.  He is full of energy and he makes everything fun for kids at the midweek study.  He also is very interested in having many "outside of church" for the kids and also getting them involved with other ministries that our church has to offer.  Our highs school ministry, which I am a part of, is doing great.  We have hired a interim youth pastor, Mynor.  He is great and is getting to know all of us very well.  He is very committed to having a COMMUNITY in the group.  I think that this is great for all of us to think about.  The different "clicks" that are associated with any place that has many teenagers in it, are something that we want to get rid of.  I also have been noticing that our group is becoming more and more composed of new comers.  I think that this is something that has needed to happen for a long time and now that it is finally becoming a reality, I feel as if our group is beginning to take shape.
