Got back from my trip to Canada last night at 10:20. I was tired, had to take a shower, and wanted to check my email. I did all those and did homework. Amazing what Lowell does to you, but I slept at 1. So here's some stuff:

I started my 13 Day program where each day, I work on something. Since I was out of town, I'll recap:

Feb 8: Temperance (Self Restraint In Behavior) - I can only recall getting angry two times that day. One was when I snapped back at my mom for telling me to do stuff over and over. The other time I forgot. But I was very calm that day for sure (or as the ghetto people say, fo sho).

Feb 9: Silence (Avoid Conversation, Speak to benefit others) - I did horrible on this day. I ended up having conversations with my cousins. We were talking about how we sold stuff on eBay. She was telling me about how she sold shoes and diapers on ebay. Amazing. She's known as The Diaper Lady in our family now. So what did I learn form this day? I'm not a great conversationist. I'm a quiet guy, and I didn't speak much for others benefits. I failed that day.

Feb 10: Order (everything in place) - I think I did well. I was mostly flying airplanes during this day. I came home, did my work, and went to bed. Very ordily I would say.

Feb 11: Resolution (Determination to do something) - I wanted to do my math homework, but I just quit. Shucks. I'm going to make another attempt tonight before I sleep. I won't fail this one too. Advanced Math Topics are hard. Help me.

Tomorrow is Frugality (waste nothing). I'll update you on that one tomorrow.

Here's some strange stories:

On the airplane, I was sitting next to some guy who was flying for the first time, and first time coming to the US from Canada. He was all talking to me while I was trying to sleep. The plane was for 50 passengers, so it was really small. The skies were really windy, and the plane was seriously shaking. He was all yelling and holding on to the seat. "WHOA BETSY" this and "WHOA BETSY" that. The other strange thing about him was he started off real friendly showing me pictures of his wife and cats, his tattoo (it read Proud To Be Canadian with a canadian flag) and let me read his newspaper. But then later he wanted to know what California drivers licenses looked like. I showed him mine, but grabbed it away when I saw him looking at my name. Before I left, he wanted my address in case he was "ever in town". I gave him my email address instead. He said he'd take me fishing if I were ever in Canada again. I think I'll pass. Getting molested isn't on my "things to do" list.

Janelle showed me an ebay auction of a carrot with a vagina. It's going for $16,000. I'm going to start planting carrots now.

And finally, I'll leave with some shoutouts:

Cal: Hey Cal, the Cow Palace convention is this weekend. Would you wanna go Sunday after church. I know the church has the ski trip, so I'm guessing no basketball games after, and maybe we can leave right after the second message, unless you have a route. I think the Sunday show is from 10-3 or 4. All me and Dave really need is 3 hours. Let me know if you were planning to go Sunday.

Pat: Wow, you moved sites. I tried the Xanga, but I didn't know what I was doing. So I'll stay old fashioned and use blogger. Wow, a dish. I'll come over one day and watch hours upon hours of television. Your parents won't be able to get me to leave. Are you speaking at Bible Study this week?

Shannon: Hey Shannon, sorry to bum you out about my college / girls thoughts. Don't worry!! I'm just paranoid or something. Don't become me!

Good night world.
