Choir practice
My mom is the choir direcotor for my church. Therefore, I am a member of our church choir. I'm in the tenor section with 3 other really interesting guys....
choir practice is really somthing that you would have to really be there in person to truly understand but i will tell you about one cool aspect... the ongoing fued between the basses and the altos... you see the basses generally have an easy part and the altos have a hard part and so the basses (lead by my dad) never fail to jokingly make fun of the altos when they have trouble with their part. Recently its escalated to stuff like tying the sleeves of their jackets together. Whats really interesting is that one of the ladies sometiems brings a little water gun and has shot it at members of the bass section... that gets really fun.
But I try not to get involved... I just encourage my tenors to be the best tenor section they can be... I really try and make it like a team...
Who says choir is boring?

geometry........
Geometry is wierd! my dad is my teaching me this stuff since he is an engineer and is a more left brained person then my mom. Man, for those who dont know, Geometry is like no other math. Its all about proving things. I guess I should explain that i started math really lte in the year and for some odd reason.. my parents are making me do this stuff over summer so that I "will get a years worth of math in." I guess I see why they say that cause Idid do a lot of extra things and didnt do all the work I should have, but anyway...
I remember that when my dad was teaching me algebra, I fought him the whole time. I would make stupid mistakes like adding or multiplying somthing wrong.... now it seems like this new stuff is so hard that I want. to go back to algebra.
I dont have that option so i guess i jsut have to pull forward and pray God will help me through this...

Since the world situation is making us all think about how governments, religions and business effect us, this simplified explanation might help us under stand better.
THE "TWO-COW EXPLANATION" OF WHAT MAKES...
A CHRISTIAN:You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.
A SOCIALIST:You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor.
A REPUBLICAN:You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?
A DEMOCRAT:You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous.
A COMMUNIST:You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. A
FASCIST:You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.
DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.
CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE:You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.
BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION:You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION:You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION:You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk.
A GERMAN CORPORATION:You have two cows. You reengineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION:You have two cows but you don't know where they are. You break for lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION:You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A MEXICAN CORPORATION:You think you have two cows, but you don't know what a cow looks like. You take a nap.
A SWISS CORPORATION:You have 5000 cows, none of which belongs to you. You charge for storing them for others.
A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION:You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows and the American corporation declares bankruptcy.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION:You have two cows. You worship them.
