Hello From The Other Side

Hello from the other siiiide!!!  …of the state. :D

Two weeks ago my family and I moved across the state. This is actually the third time I’ve moved, but it is only the first time that I have really been aware of it because the first two times happened when I was 6 and under. Most people have moved at least once in their lives so you may know that it is quite hard to find things when you’re moving. Everything is packed away in boxes and some boxes may already be at the new house. Most of your clothes are packed, except for the ones set aside in the suitcase that you’ll be living out of for a few weeks. All of your books, televisions, and maybe even your laptop (depending on how much you use it on a daily basis) are packed away. And your free time is probably packed away in one of those blamed boxes too. You may never figure out exactly where that box is again. Sorry.

This is why I was unable to post two weeks ago (because I’ve been trying to post every two weeks) but I think that it’s a pretty good excuse. My computer was packed away somewhere and the house was half empty containing almost exclusively cardboard boxes, and I was so tired by the end of the days that the only thing that I would have been able to type out would have been “asdkljgrbaaesdoih” because I probably would have face planted into my keyboard…if I was able to find my laptop in the first place!

But anyway, we are getting settled, I’ve been reunited with my laptop (and the wifi, thank goodness) so my previously decided upon schedule should be able to continue as planned. This week’s video comes as a whim of my own. A few days ago I decided that I wanted to learn how to play a Frank Sinatra song so I did and here I am playing it not as well I could have but there wasn’t really anything else that I wanted to play and at the time I felt as if it were a little too early for a Christmas song. You also get a little glimpse at my new room in the video, and it is quite interesting to say the least. (I will be painting it soon.)

Merry Christmas! See ya in two weeks. Well I mean, you won’t see me because this a blog...but you will see me in the video so..I dunno, whatever. It's 1:20 am I'm going to bed.

QUESTIONS

Questions. Many are asked each and every day in every corner of the world and in every language and dialect. Many are answered but many still are left unanswered. Questions such as; how big is the universe? Why is a giraffe called a giraffe?  Why did the chicken cross the road? How did Good Charlotte get famous? WHERE IS WALDO?!

Not all unanswered questions remain unanswered forever. As we learn and discover more about our world we discover answers to some of these haunting questions. And recently I have been told the answer to an unanswered question. So I have decided to share this revelation with those of you who read my blog.

The question is in regard to a specific mammal that lives in the waters with Aquatic creatures. Not the species as a whole, but an individual of the species. The mental state of this animal had troubled scientists for years. They tried to wrap their heads around why this particular individual behaved the way that it did. It was so unlike the others of its kind. It even differed noticeably from the ones in its close circle of friends. They searched far and wide for an answer. They studied this individual and those in its circle for years until the finally realized that the answer was right in front of them. It wasn’t a complicated thing at all. It was so simple that it was completely over looked.

The question: Why was the dolphin so sad?

The answer: Because it had no porpoise in life.

Thank you for reading and I am sorry for the bad jokes (sorta). I have a new video on my YouTube channel (which you can watch below) of me playing and singing How Great Thou Art. It was requested by a friend of my mom’s, Tami Frye. 

IT CONTINUES

IT CONTINUES!! My plan to post a blog and a video every two weeks has been successful thus far! Well, I mean this is the seconds post, so I don’t know if you can call that a success…but it’s progress none-the-less. Making videos is a pretty easy feat. (Especially when I am given a request of what to sing as has been done this week.) And I have a few videos already recorded and plenty of songs in my repertoire that I can sing. What I didn’t think too much about is the blog post side of this.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE ABOUT?! I mean…some people blog about their lives but not many interesting things happen in my life. Some people have picture blogs, but that requires like, going outside. I write poems sometimes, but that gets old doesn’t it? And then there’s the thing of, do I want the blog post to be relevant to the song that I am singing in the video? Or is it okay if the blog post is kind of irrelevant.

OH! THAT REMINDED ME OF A JOKE!!! Okay, are you ready? (I heard this from Ed Sheeran)

What do you call an elephant that doesn’t mean anything?

Any guesses?

Anything?

No?

An irrelephant.

Get it? Irrelephant. Irrelevant. Haha? No? Okay, fine.

You can watch my new video below if you’d like. It is a request from my mom. An old hymn by Andrae’ Crouch called Through It All. Thank you for reading and tune in in another 2 weeks for more rambling, bad grammar, and potentially more bad puns. Oh, if you watch the video you just might hear my mom singing harmony in the background. ;)
