So, you know how I feel about iPad. I think it sucks! So, here’s my proposition:
I have to admit if they sold the iPad with 3D glasses. If you could watch movies and play apps in 3D. That would be pretty cool, I actually might buy one!
Do you have an iPhone or iPod touch? Do you want an iPad, but don’t want to pay for it? Check this out!
iPhone to iPad FREE upgrade!!!
It works because the iPad and the iPhone/iPod touch are the exact same.

Where were you Saturday night? If you were my sister or me you were in front of the TV watching a pretty disappointing Saturday Night Live. Honestly the funniest thing was Ke$ha’s live performance of Tik Tok, which she used to show her opposition to Obama’s decision to cancel funding of the space program.
She was wearing an American flag for a cape. Her band was dressed in silver spandex space suits. She had two dancers both wearing silver spandex space suits. Her big point was asking the crowd, “Have you ever thought that maybe we’re the aliens.”.
What?! hahaha People say Lady Gaga is weird, but Ke$ha’s performance was just stupid. It was the funniest thing all night.
BUT if you can see past the laughter she had a serious political message: “Obama! We’re going to space!!! Because we’re America and that’s what we do!!!”. I’m glad some celebrities are standing out for what they believe. To that I say good job Ke$ha.
What NASA scientist doesn’t wake up feeling like P-diddy and then brush his or her teeth with a bottle of Jack. I’m starting to think Ke$ha wrote these lyrics specifically for NASA. I feel kinda left out now!
What do you think? Does Ke$ha bleed red, white and blue? Yes!

Sooo it’s finally the weekend!!! I’m glad to be away from school haha. Only 2 more weeks! Crazy! College is coming up, but that’s still a few months away.
So, I have a post written and it’s just sitting in my phone waiting anxiously to shock the world! I wanted to post it, but a certain person could get in trouble for it. It’s about something he/she brought up, “Klan Man”. He/she could get in trouble for hate crimes and I could get in trouble with the KKK. I always love making fun of racists. I obviously haven’t posted it. If you would like to read it, comment below!!
Rayban Wayfarers! I’m trying to find a model 2132, but I’m not having much luck! They cost $159.99 new! Obviously I don’t want to pay that! So I’m trying to find some on ebay for cheap. I’ve found a few from Korea and China, but I’m not sure how trustworthy those sellers are because they’re selling for $5-20. Oh well…haha.
We recorded a sixth episode of Killin’ Time with Thomas & Thomas this week. This one was mostly real talk, which was fun. You’re going to have to wait until next week to hear it! So, get excited!
Sooo, Gladiator is on! I have to go watch it! It’s my duty!!!

I found this image on Google Reader. I think it’s a bit extreme, but just see for yourself.
I read this a few times before I actually believed it….then I laughed out loud for an hour. First of all is this a Christian magazine?
I’ve heard some people say they disagree with the rabbit and easter eggs to celebrate easter. They say we should celebrate Jesus. I agree that is the real reason for the holiday, buuuut…..Come on! Couldn’t you have come up with a better way to spread your ideas than a poorly drawn little boy in rabbit suit holding….LUCIFER’S TESTICLES in a basket.
I know, when I have kids, the first thing I’m going to worry about is if they’re playing with “Lucifer’s Testicles”…..I’m curious how Dr. Cameroon got his Ph.D….
Watch out next easter! Those might not be eggs, you’re finding! They might be………[wait for it, wait for it]………….LUCIFER’S TESTICLES….
I hope this wasn’t offensive haha

As most of you know I’ve been apart of a very successful podcast! So, you’re probably wondering, “Why the :/ face? Was it a bad review?”. No!! It was an awesome five star review! Oh it was everything we wanted to hear!!! Here’s what happened.
It’s been sometime since I checked our page in the iTunes store. So, I check it today. And what’s that!? We have our first listener review!!!!! Oh I was so excited! My first thing to do was text my partner in crime, Alex. Naturally I was very excited (and I assume he was, he didn’t text back). The next person I had to tell was one of my best friends, Taylor.
I told him, “Dude! We have our first iTunes listener review! I’m so excited!!”. “Oh really? What did it say?” he asked.
I told him what it said…
“Oh………HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! That was me!!!” he told me.
“:|……………………………………………………………………………………………………. what?!” was (and still is) my basic reaction.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! (sarcastic laugh :/ )
Knowing him as well as I do, I don’t doubt that he did it.
So, that burst my bubble. Man, I was on top of the world!!! Then…it was just a terrible moment. If you watch The Office it was like the story Michael tells about getting hit with a pee filled balloon. It was like that for me, only really nothing like that!!!
We do have 167 subscribers, which is awesome!!!

What’s up readers? I was reading my old blog today. It seemed like I used to do a lot more Freestyling! Even the articles that weren’t labeled Freestyle, were lacking of seriousness. Looking back on it I don’t know why I moved away from that. 
I’m going to try to make my post in the future more like them.
So, I was reading my old blogspot blog. I kinda miss it. I left it for wordpress, which has been and shall continue to be an eternal struggle! I like the counter on WordPress, which is enough to keep me here!
One of my friends is a really talented writer, I’ve been trying to get him back into blogging. One problem is that he needs a name for a blog, I say Alpha Delta Lightening Bolt Wolverine Squadron. If you have any name ideas comment them below and I’ll pass it on to him!
So, we had spring break last week. Maaaaaan, I’ve been craving the beach! It’s been our Family tradition to visit the beach every summer cook some crabs, go swimming, walk on the beach, sleep, read and ofcourse listen to the same Jimmy Buffett album we listened to the year before!! Unfortunately, this summer we probably aren’t going to make it 
. To compensate for lack of sand in my pants, I had a brilliant idea last weekend! I thought, “I’ll have a beach day!!!”. A better idea didn’t show up that day! I got an umbrella, a towel, a beach chair, some reading material, my sunglasses and Jimmy Buffett on my iPod! I was good to go! I sat out in the sun for at least two or three hours pretending to smell salt water and hear waves crash. Well……..it’s all fun and games until some suffers from heat stroke! Ok so it probably wasn’t heat stroke but shortly after I came inside I got light headed and had a fever. So the after affects were no fun, but while I was at the beach *wink*! It was great!!!
I hope this has been an enjoyable freestyle!

I’m not sure if you’ve heard that Obama has been negotiating with Russia in the area of nuclear weapons. He’s trying to limit our use of nukes and ultimately create a weaponless society. As a pacifist a weaponless society sounds great, but as a part-time realist it’ll never work.
I don’t like fighting but if another country attacks us what are we going to do without weapons? Some countries we can negotiate with but others are going to see us as weak. Negotiation should be first and if that fails then attack.
As I mentioned, he’s been trying to limit our use of nukes. This is ultimately how I feel about nuclear weapons.
Nuclear weapons have always made me a little nervous. Did you know the U.S. has enough nuclear weapons to destroy the world at least seven times over! Woah! That, ofcourse, was the result of an arms race, which I’m not going to get into right now. I like nukes for one reason: self defense. We’ve seen the destruction they cause and honestly I don’t think they should be used on an other country. Now I do think if a country shoots nuclear missile at us, then we should immediately react and shoot down their nuclear missile with ours. Then we should invade that country, and just eliminate the people that attacked us. There’s no need for extreme civilian causalities.
Wow, I feel like I’ve gone in an extremely militant direction. Haha I hope you won’t think less of me.
I don’t know what’s going to happen. Fox News posted an article about it on twitter last night. I still haven’t seen anything from Newsweek or NY Times, but that doesn’t mean they haven’t. It’ll be interesting (and a little scary) to see what happens. My solution is just pray Obama will make the right decision.

I have this teacher. He uses many historical figures as examples. He often uses Hitler for his example of insanity, which I do agree he was insane. The last time he used him….it got me thinking, realizing. The last time he used the fact that Hitler attempted to commit genocide. The Holocaust was a terrible, terrible event. I’ve always heard, Hitler was evil and insane from textbooks and TV shows. Then I thought back to what happen to the Native Americans and thought, “What does this make us?”.
I’ve always heard Hitler was evil for trying to wipe out the jews, but the Americans tried to eliminate the Native Americans. I should add, they were pretty successful.
What does that say about our leaders at the time? That they were right up there with Hitler or even worse Hitler was right up there with them? I don’t know all the facts. I do know that a myriad of Native Americans lost their lives and/or had their land taken from them.
I’m still trying to figure this all out. I guess what I’m struggling with is this: Is it really “right” to portray Hitler as crazy and ignore what we did (or our leaders that were elected by citizens)? Like I said, Hitler was insane. Their actions say that our leaders at the time were no better. I like to think I’m pretty patriotic. So, here’s my solution. I’m not proud of some of the things (or a lot of the things) our leaders have done, but I’m proud to call myself an American. I’m thankful to be free, hope to remain free. I hope we’re in an age where American won’t take part in genocide of any kind. I hope America is getting to a point where all differences don’t matter, but I have a feeling that might never happen.
Anyway, I hope this post doesn’t make me sound like a nazi. But what do you think? Comment below.

Tomorrow is easter so I wanted to post something really good, but I realized nothing I post can compare to what He gave me. After all, Jesus died so that I might eternal life with Him. He was (and is) humble enough to come down here and be beaten and humiliated and hung on a tree so that we would be saved. Yet it seems all I can muster up for Him is a blog and few minutes a week to read my Bible and pray. Sometimes I don’t even give that much. I’ve been feeling like I need to do more. I’m not sure what, ofcourse it isn’t really for me to decide. (You’ll probably know when He tells me)
One thing I’ve stopped doing is getting gifts on easter. If you get stuff from your parents that’s cool, but I just don’t want my parents giving me gifts. I don’t really care about candy, but I mean stuff like money or material goods. I don’t like to support the commercialism. I feel like I’m not taking it seriously if I get stuff.
I don’t have any challenge, except just remember the reason for the holiday. It wasn’t just so we could get candy and so kids could look for eggs. He died so that we maybe saved. He made the ultimate sacrifice.
Have a great easter!

Haha you probably guessed it! Australia! Well most of you know Alex and I have been making a podcast, Killin’ Time With Thomas & Thomas! Well that podcast isn’t going down under! It’s already there!!!
Well, recently I sent an ‘@’ reply to asmShakySTACK. It was just casual conversation. Well I got home today and checked my @ replies on Echofon and I found this:
“@evan164 hey! I listened to your pilot podcast good as job! Oh and by the way I’m from Australia so you have an overseas listener and I like you accents haha there so cool!”
Woah! That’s right our first international listener! Alex and I are so pumped! Actually I think I’m unnaturally excited…it probably isn’t healthy to be this excited…She’s getting a huge shout out on the fifth episode!
I, and my family, really like how she said how accents are so cool! That concept is kinda crazy to grasp at first. I mean I’ve never had ANYONE tell me I have an accent! And I’m from the south. People always seem to make fun of southerns for accents, still no one has told me that! Haha But it’s so cool! One thing our podcast is international! Second we’re getting to know people from other countries. I’m just excited!
Hmm, I’m not sure if this makes much sense. I’m really excited(as I mentioned above at least 5 times) and I’m not really forming proper sentences. So, I’m going to stop while I’m ahead.

Glenn Beck’s interview with Eric Massa
“This is they guy we’ve been looking for…” Glenn Beck said that referring to Eric Massa, former Democratic New York Congressman. As some of you know Massa announced he was resigning from Congress due to health reasons. Now rumors have been cycling that he sexually harassed a male co-worker…..This is the guy we’ve been looking for! I really encourage you to read Beck’s interview with Massa, or atleast the first 1/4. (as you can see I posted the link to the interview at the top)
I think Glenn was expecting this guy to be some type of prophet…but he’s not a prophet. Nope, he’s just a normal guy that gropes male co-workers and apparently made advances on his navy subordinates. These are his exact words:
MASSA: Now, they’re saying I groped a male staffer. Yes, I did. Not only did I grope him, I tickled him until he couldn’t breathe and four guys jumped on top of me. It was my 50th birthday. It was kill the old guy.
You can take anything out of context. By the way, we all —
BECK: Was your wife at that one?
MASSA: No, it was a townhouse. We all lived together, all the bachelors and me, because nobody can afford in Washington, D.C., to pay the outrageous rents. My chief of staff had a conniption and said you can’t live there. That’s not congressional. So, I moved into my office.
First of all, if any of you still know me when I turn fifty, please don’t–umm…….grouping is NOT what I want to do when I turn fifty………maybe 75, but not 50. (Hahaha I’m joking everybody.) I like that Glenn tried to help him out by asking “Was your wife at that one?” Oh no I live with a bunch of bachelors in a townhouse BAHAHAHA…..actually that’s still a grey area to me, he lived in a townhouse and then had to move to his office? Where was his family during all this? I’m assuming at his home. Honestly, he’s just a strange guy. This just seems like a stupid guy wanting to be interviewed by a Glenn Beck, who thought Massa someone much more important. Someone of a prophet’s importance, but nope sorry Glenn.
Poor Glenn, this was his answer to all the Democratic problems. He was finally going to prove all his points, he was going to make all his ranting and crying worth it…but nope.
I like that Glenn finished with, “America I feel like I’ve wasted your time and for that I apologize.”.
Well, thanks for reading. America, I hope I didn’t waste your time. I hope it was enjoyable.

by the way, this was just focusing on a small, very, very weird part of the interview. Like I said the entire interview transcript is linked above.
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” -Luke 12:34
I recently started a…umm “quest”, if you will, to the read the book of Luke (and all the gospels and all of the New Testament). At first I was reading a chapter a night but that only lasted three days and then school started again and I could only manage a few verses a night. Anyway, I found this verse last night or maybe the night before. I think this is something a lot of us struggle with. I know I do, I don’t know about you.
I think that’s part of the reason I only manage a few verses a night. I let things like school, facebook, this blog, sleep etc. become my treasure and that’s where my heart is. I’ll be honest sleep is definitely a treasure to me. A good night’s sleep is definitely where my heart is, unfortunately. Often times I don’t read my Bible because I’m tired. Maybe that’s why life feels crazy right now. Perry Noble, preacher of New Spring Church, said: “Until you give God control, you will be out of control.” This verse really stood out to me the first time I read it. I think this verse and that quote go together well. If our hearts aren’t with God than he isn’t our treasure (or he isn’t the top priority). How can we expect Him to fix our lives if we don’t make him number 1. Often times He helps us, even though He gets pushed to the back burner a lot. I find it hard to grasp, that we go against Him every day and yet He’s still merciful on us. That’s amazing and another topic that I could talk about all day. So, I think I’ll end with this:
I’m going to try to start putting him at the front of my day. The things that I normally make treasures, I’m going to do those in His name. Maybe that’s crazy, I challenge you to put Him as number one. I bet once you do this He’ll work out all the other junk.
I realize that this theology is probably pretty basic and the content might be really random, but I wrote it as it came to mind. This might have been more for me than anyone else…but I hope you might have gotten something out of this.
Oh and you’re probably wondering what does that title mean? Well, I think pirates are legit! I actually am a pirate! Pirates have treasure, if a pirate were to ask “where is your treasure?” it would probably sound like “Where be yer booty?”. So that’s why I titled it that.

World hunger is one of those things I think about in passing (that probably sounds bad). I mean I have donated money here and there, but I just haven’t ever REALLY done anything notable. I mean I haven’t ever been to a starving country or helped in relief efforts abroad.
Today; however, I really thought about it, which is why I’m writing this. What lead me to think about it was when my sister heated up a huge bowl of food, took one spoonful, mad a disgusted face and gave it to the dog. This just burned me up for some reason. I’m no expert but that bowl of food could have fed at least two kids. She just threw it to the dog, whom could lose a little weight herself.
Maybe I shouldn’t get on her case because I’m sure I do it to. I think we have it really good in America. God has really blessed us.
I think our house needs some waste management and I don’t just mean the dog. I wonder how I could go about doing that… Well if anyone has any thoughts or concerns feel free to comment.

This post is my personal opinion on Racism. I have a fervent hatred towards it, so this is very biased (as the title states).
I have grown up in the South. I have been exposed to Racism on many levels(however, not as severe as it once was). I was raised in a Christian home, where I was taught to see others equally regardless of color, wealth, or social status.
I believe there are two types of racism, both stem from hatred.
One is nothing but pure hatred. An example of this was Hitlers hatred toward Jews, Gypsies and Slavs (there is no e on the end. It is Slavs not slaves). He was also insane.
The other is ignorance. It’s the ignorance, or lack of understanding, of another Ethnic Group’s culture and traditions. Ignorance is a breeding ground for fear. Hatred spawns from fear. When this is passed down from generation to generation, Father to Son, is when it becomes illogical. It becomes a way of life. That’s the case with racism today, these people hate just because their parents do.
This isn’t how it’s supposed to be.
Racism in a Church is becoming very infrequent, but I’ve seen a few Churches that are. It’s very sad when a Preacher is racist. I believe if a Preacher is a racist, than he doesn’t deserve the title. It puts the mind set in the children coming up in the Church. Because of the changing world they won’t be able to fit in. My own Church, I’m sad to say, told a family to leave because they were black. How hypocritical is that? Now they’ve come back, Thank God. They are some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The point is You can’t judge someone by the color of their skin.
Today the stereotype is that all White Southerners are racist, and that whites; in general, have better lives. I would definitely have to say that that belief is wrong on some many levels. Whites aren’t the only ones who are racist. Blacks, Chinese, Hispanics and just about any Ethnic Group has Racism somewhere in it’s culture.
I’m not trying to say that racism isn’t around, it is and will be for a while. I’m just saying it’s not as bad as some make it out to be.
I’ll stay within our borders for a little while. Now that we have a Black President, does it mean the stereotypical white on Black racism is over. I pray it is, I pray everyone could be united, but that’s a lot to ask. Will Barack bring everyone together like he promised. I’ll believe it when I see it.
I’m going to bring it home for me. I’m from a small town. Racism is still here, I hear it just about everyday. I don’t like it, but there isn’t anything I can do to stop it. What I dislike most is when people don’t even bother to meet someone because they are Black. Why? Where is the logic behind that? There is none. They just judge as their fathers did and their father before them did and their Grandfathers did and so on.
Conclusion
Just to be clear, I AM strongly against racism and always will be. I don’t hate racist, just the practice. I believe for Christians, there shouldn’t be any hate of any kind in your heart. This is a lot to ask, but we should strive for it. Jesus made an example of this at the Well. We should strive to live like Him.
On the issue of slavery, what happened in the past is done.
The lesson of this blog is, don’t hate someone until you get to know them.
If you are a racist who has a problem with this blog please tell me(that way I can laugh at you).

Blogger was very easy, but didn’t have all the features of wordpress.
Word press is much more difficult to figure out. As you can tell I’m getting frustrated. I’m going to try and just copy and paste my post from my other blog, that will be much easier than trying to import to this one on my slow Internet.
Anyway! So, I have D-Now at my church this weekend. It’s this awesome thing where we sing songs of praise, go do mission projects, and sometimes messy games (personally I hate messy games). It’s very spiritually uplifting. I always love it, but unfortunately this year I won’t be able to go to the host homes because I’ve been sick. I’m a little upset.
It bothers me, there are people skipping this year because they don’t like the band. My initial reaction were these two; 1: they don’t trust God enough to even see if the band will be good. 2: they are more worried about themselves and what they want then God’s will. I’ve come to realize–in the seven hours since I originally posted it–that this was rather harsh, opinionated. This is my opinion, and now that I have had time to think I don’t know if this is right. I really want your feed back though, I want to know what you think.
(to continue with the blog) Then those two ideas I mentioned lead me to these questions: “Why do you come to Church in the first place?” Is it to see friends? Or see your Girlfriend or Boyfriend, perhaps? Or because we are “supposed” to? Or because your parents make you? Well, if you go just because you’re “supposed” to than your heart isn’t in the right place. If you go just because your parents make then I would say go a head try to get something out of it. You have to be there anyway.
Anyway, who are we to decide whether the band is good or not. If it’s bad, God can make it good. We just have to put our hearts in the right place and prepare them for worship.
I’ll save the rest of my ideas for later.
Thanks for reading.
