Well, today was a very stressful and fun day over all. I woke up at my Aunt and Uncle's house because I babysat my cousins the night before. I took a shower and got ready to go home. I got home at about 9:30 AM. After that, I helped my parents get ready to go to church. I got my little brother (who is currently 17 months old) dressed, got the diaper bag ready, and got my sisters in the van. My dad decided to stay home today to get some things done around the house (finally, I know that I'm
To start off, I'm going to be able to post a pic of myself pretty soon, but until then, I'm going to be showing pictures of some of the people in my life.
Well, today I focused on cleaning the bathroom (I'm focusing on a different room every day until I can get this house spotless) and I did a great job if I do say so myself. You can literally see your reflection in the sink and the toilet XD . It's kind of awkward that I'm both a teen and a guy, but I have a love/passion for keeping things
The average human being over the age of 20 looses about 50,000 brain cells per day!
Many of you may ask, "TLH, how do I prevent this slow decay of my mind?" You can reduce this number (by about half) by keeping your mind in shape. You can do this by doing things such as, learning a new language, putting together complicated jigsaw puzzles, etc.
Well, today I finally saw the Pediatrist (foot Doctor). I've been experiencing some intense pains in my upper, right ankle and it turns out that I may have Tendonitis. Nothing major, seeing as (according to the Doctor) I'm, "Young and resiliant." I feel fine over all, but it still kind of stinks. Oh well.
Aside from that, I'll be going to Youth Group tonight and I'll be in the skit. It's pretty funny over all. In the skit, this one kid is picked on and shunned by everyone because he h
Well it's been a little while since I made a new entry, so here's what's new:
Last Tuesday, I went to Pennsylvania for Creation Festival 2008, which was awesome. There were over 100,000 people there as well as a handful of great bands and speakers.
My sister was able to get her Flyleaf CD signed by Flyleaf at Creation which was pretty cool. Myself? I got Skillet's Comatose CD signed, Jon Foreman's (Switchfoot's main singer) Seasonal EPs signed by him as well as a Switchfoot poster signe
Well Today was pretty fun. After Church I ended up going over to my friend's house. He is a member here on BZP, but he's not really that active right now. His name is Javan1000 here on BZP. He's pretty cool. He turned 11 back in February so there's 5 years between us, but we get along pretty well.
We played video games primarily. We played Spider-Man 2 and I ended up lending it to him for a week. We also played Return of the King for about an hour and a half. He really enjoys play
Well the night of June 4th was amazingly awesome. Myself and 7 other Homeschooled graduates all pitched in to give ourselves a night of fun. After spending 5 hours scraping paint and priming walls in my Aunt and Uncle's basement, I met up with the others at one of their homes. We started by driving in a limo (it was a Mercedes ) for about nearly 2 hours, where we proceeded to jam out to Relient K and talk about college, and life in general.
After the limo ride, we arrived at the "Detroi
Well, I'm up in the middle of the night. I've already done tomorrow's school and I just can't get to sleep. Ever since my dad switched from Budweiser to 7-Up, I've been hooked in MONSTER energy drinks. My mom had to tell me that I can't drink energy drinks past 5 unless I've got to stay up for some good reason.
I was thining, there's a lot of people on BZP who have revealed their names and I figured, what the heck, if any wacko sees my first name, they can't hunt me down because they don
Well, this has been quite a week. I should be on BZPower on a regular basis again, and I'll be blogging everyday again (or as frequently as I am able to), but first, a review of my week since Saturday of last week (as in 8 days ago).
On Saturday, we all left the house at about noonish to take the 2 and 1/2 hour ride to Kalamazoo, Michigan so we could adopt our new dog, Tye. On the way there. I was able to read BIONICLE Legends 1-4 (still waiting for my local bookstore(s) to get BL5 in) and
OMG, I couldn't believe it. One week ago, I opened a PM from Black Six and it changed my BZP life forever.
Here's what it said:
That was amazing. Honestly, I'd been hoping that I'd get my last PE boost within the next couple months, but I guess Black Six thought that I was worthy of an extra boost beyond an ounce of PE .
Well, I'm gonna do my best to be a good Reference Keeper (the yellow really suits me) and hopefully blog more often.
(Seeing as this is a special entry for me
Yesterday (Friday), I did my daily chores and at 11:00 AM, the UPS man was on my doorstep with a Wal-Mart package. I tore it open (not literally, but almost literally) and screamed when I saw my last 2006 set: Umbra! Here's some pics:
Umbra.
Tell me what you think.
Be sure to check out my personal photo later, I should have my picture up! (Many more of TLH's BIONICLE pics to come!)
Random Fact Of The Day:

I got a new job! About two weeks ago, I was filling out several job applications and almost got a job at Bob Evans and Red Robins, but they both fell through. Fortunately, I thought it wouldn't hurt to call Arby's and see if they were hiring. They were, so I went in and filled out an application. I didn't get a call, so I called them last Tuesday. They told me to come in for an interview yesterday at 5:30 PM. They didn't even ask me any questions. They just told me what to wear (until I'
Well, I have all of the Bionicle sets once again. The problem is, I have nowhere to put Axalara T9, Jetrax T6, Rockoh T3, Vultraz, or Mazeka except in my room, away from all of my other Bionicle sets.
As of right now, I'm really trying to make a budget, because with car insurance, my phone, and college, I'm gonna be having to pay $450 a month. Which really isn't bad, but I just need to get into the habbit of depositing my money as soon as I get it and not spending it so compulsively *cough*
Good News:
Well I've been saving up my money as much as possible and it's been going pretty well. This past Friday, I worked from 10 AM-10 PM and I walked out with $195 after tipping out (before tipout, I made $220). So yeah, I guess you could say I have a slight knack for serving seeing as one of my tables tipped $40 on a $73 bill.
I officially have a checking account and I'll be getting a debit card later this week in the mail. 2 things I must buy once that card is in my po
Well I've spent pretty much all day cleaning the house because we're getting ready to have my little brother's Birthday party on Saturday. After all that cleaning, I smell like chemicals right now.
Pastor Isaac had the sweetest sermon today, which was titled the title of this blog entry.
He gave the top 10 ways to start and argument with someone. And when he said number 10, he said, "TLH (okay he said my real name in reality) this one's for you buddy."
Here they are:

Well, I finally completed LEGO Star Wars II 100%. I've got all upgrades and bonus things bought. All gold bricks and mini-kits were found and I'm a very happy person .
So I'm officially graduated.... is that good? I've got 18 days of childhood left and I've now clue how I'm going to savor them before they're gone.
I received a government grant which is pretty exciting. So long as I don't go to a major university, the government will pay for nearly all of my first four years of college!
My managers at Joe's Crabshack are actually anxious to get me into server training (becoming a waiter) once I'm 18.
I started my temporary 2nd job, scraping pain
Well for those of you who read my blog and those of you who are just passing through, I've been wanting to spice up my blog with something new (I'll still do the Random Facts Of The Day), but I have no clue what to do. I wanna do something that somebody else has not done in their blog, because I don't wanna copy anyone. Does anyone have any ideas?
Well, it's been a while since I've blogged (gotta get more consistent with it), so I figured I'd to it while I've got the time.
A lot's happened these past couple weeks. Obviously, I started that "Save BL7 Campaign" and I can only hope that it goes through. According to Greg, we are making progress with Scholastic. Our e-mails are being noticed and hopefully we can nudge the sales up a few thousand and change their minds.
I've gotten my 2,600th post, moving me up to "Emerging Ice Wa
Guess which movie I'm seeing at 12:01 AM, Friday May 4th, 2007?
That's right, Spiderman 3! I'm gonna be wearing all black to the move in the spirit of Venom . I'll be sure to take a pic of myself and to write up a review for the movie.
Random Fact of the Day:
A cockroach will live up to 9 days without its head before it starves to death
Wow... all I can say is wow.
I went into that movie with high expectations and they were exceeded. By far the best movie of 2008 without a second thought. If you read TMD's blog, he probably put it into the best words with his essay, but in my own words, it was simply amazing, and I have to see it again before this week is up. Then I may quite possibly see it 1-2 more times prior to it's DVD/Blu-Ray release.
Ok, well school has started. I'm down to one job and I'm only working on the weekends. Meaning... less money... but more time for BZP. So, I think I can say for sure that I'm back for the school year. Understandably I have to have priorities, and since this is my Senior year, school will come first, but luckily that doesn't take all day .
I'm gonna try to blog consistantly to keep everyone up to date on my life right now so if you see me go more than 2 days without an entry, bug be abo
Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. Life has been crazy lately:

My mom started getting a really bad pain in her left arm and had to go to the ER over it. It turns out that she's got Rheumatoid Arthritis, which basically, can lead to joint deformity and causes a lot of pain, so please keep her in your prayers.

My little brother, who is now 23 months old, got into an empty can of cashews. I haven't said this yet, but since my little brother was bor
Well...about four years ago, my (former) across-the-street neighbors moved to Burton Michigan. There was a single mother named Sue, her oldest son (currently 18) Cody, her two fraternal twins (who are 11), Cory and Cayn, and her youngest girl, Cara (who is 8). Though they moved just short of two hours away from us, we kept in touch. They were just like family to us, I mean, her two twin sons were born just a year before Mandy was.
