Straight or Curly?

Good afternoon world, it looks as though today is going to be a beautiful day! The sun has decided to show his beaming face and the clouds are high in the sky. This is enough of a reason for you to stop whatever you are doing and go outdoors and do something active.

Unless you're me.

Hello Reader,

My family is outdoors at the moment, laughing and enjoying the fabulous weather. I on the other hand, I have no desire to play outdoors. My reason for this? I haven't the faintest idea.
Have you ever been bored out of your mind, but at the same time you felt too lazy to do anything about it? *Cough* *cough* *ahem* *ahem*, that would be my current disposition.
When I'm bored, I do a variety of things, such as, check my facebook, text message friends, call friends, write, read, watch television, check my facebook, and clean the house. Haha, yes... You were correct in reading that... I clean the house when I'm bored.
Annnnd so I mentioned "check my facebook" twice, so what?

What you are reading, at this very moment, is the result of my pending boredom. Typically I update about, once a week, but today I've made an exception.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello again, Reader.

While I was in the midst of writing the above section, my boredom came to a screeching halt. I was about to write a concluding sentence about my boredom, when my dad offered to take me to work with him. :) I've worked with my dad on a number of occasions (Remodeling). This time, we would be installing cabinets! There were about twenty-one boxes of cabinets. Each cabinet (Believe it or not) is worth around $500 apiece. Upon our carrying the boxes of cabinets into the people's basement, my dad warned me not to drop a single box. For if I did, the cabinet would be dinged, and it would come out of my paycheck, which is more than I'd get from my dad in 3 weeks... That struck enough fear in me to stunt my growth.

Details are unimportant I suppose. Haha, the whole cabinet unloading and un-boxing process went well! We shall be assembling the remainder of the cabinets later today.

Hmm, what to discuss now? *Thinks* What has been happening as of recently... ?
WELL, just the other week was the C.H.E.S.S. end of the school year party. Surprisingly, my family had never gotten around to attending this rather massive event... There were many, many more people who attended than I thought would! We played a lot of volleyball AND we got to chill with awesome people, like, Colleen, Gracie, Liza, Zach, Chris, Vaughn, Alysa, Dana, and Marina. :) Lotsafun.

Do forgive me in the disorganization of this post! I'm writing what first comes to mind and then writing about it in that order! This is unusual for me because typically I have a (Somewhat) formal/organized method of writing and posting.

It may possibly because I stayed up too early talking on the phone. *_* Regretfully, I haven't talked to my dear friend Jen since she kidnapped me a month ago. NOT COOL. The only time she was available to talk last night however was at 11:30 P.M.. So what do I do? Well, with it being summer and all, I decided to give her a call. :) Hence, from 11:30 until 12:45, we had the opportunity to have a phone chat. I do believe there is a reason we don't talk so late/early... There are only bits and pieces that I remember as of now, and oh boy! We did not make any sense.

Note to self: Don't make phone calls past 10:00 P.M. ...

(Yet another out of place thought) The other day, me and my family went to see Prince of Persia. Definitely different than I thought! I enjoyed it overall, mostly because of the action sequences and frequent shots of Dustan performing semi-difficult free-running moves. 4 out of 5 stars.

Something I find half amusing and half troubling... The past three or so movies we've seen in the theater (Avatar, Robin Hood, Prince of Persia) have each had a PG-13 rating for violence and infrequent situations involving suggestive dialog and/or frequent scenes of drinking or smoking. We took my little sister, Rebekah, to see each of these movies. Those of you who know our family, you are most likely aware that Rebekah is not yet thirteen. When I was her age, I was itching to see the violent but cheesy, Jurassic Park. Not until I was older would my parents let me watch a movie with a PG-13 rating. Which was odd in my opinion, because I was never the type of kid to have "nightmares" due to scary movies. I'M JUST SAYING.

So yeah. Half amusing and half troubling.

Okay, the title of my post... Haha, in the Reader's opinion, which is better, straight hair, or curly hair? Personally, I do not like my curly hair. At all. Of course, my mom and dad think otherwise. Here's my dilemma: I understand that God made me a certain way (i.e. my hair being curly), but what if I am unsatisfied with the way one of my features is? If it can be changed, does that mean it should be changed? Just thinking out loud really...

I'm sorry this post hasn't been that amusing! In the near future I hope to right something a little more... Thrilling. Who knows, I hope to have some interesting stories to tell after this weekend. :) I'm going mountain biking up north. I'm hoping everything goes well... Last year, my tire blew out while we were still 5 miles from camp. If y'all could pray that this weekend would go smoothly without any unexpected occurrences, I would greatly appreciate it!

And so, I leave you with this question: If blind people where dark glasses, why don't deaf people wear earmuffs?

Haha, thank you for reading...

Lies, Jacob, lies -- that was a completely interesting post! Go curly. Umm, I think that deaf people don't wear earmuffs because you can't really tell that they're deaf... blind people need dark glasses because you can tell, just by looking at their eyeballs, that they are blind. Right? I don't know...
Have fun on your trip!

Hahaha... Well, thank you, Christine!
I let my hair do its curly thing today. So yeah. :)
I think you're right, that could very well be the reason. I find it interesting however that most blind people use a white cane, signifying that they are blind (If not also the dark glasses), whereas deaf people have nothing to signify them being deaf...
I guess my question was more of a lame joke. Haha...

Thanks! We're leaving in just a little bit. I might do some recording and then post it on here. We shall see...

Same thing happens in our family with movies. My little sister is now allowed to see the same movies that parents were closely monitering ready to cover up the "bad parts" with a pillow over the tv when I was her age and older. I think parents get more lenient with each child. Which is why the youngest typically tends to be the most "spoiled".

Curly, definately.

Because earmuffs would just look weird.
