Are you super?

The question was posed: "If you could have any super/magical power, what would it be and why?

So far the answers included:
"I would want to play every musical instrument," as stated by Caleb Chancey. Nice. That would actually be really nice.

"Sex," as stated by Joshua Hausen. Hmmm. Sex... really? Is that simply the ability to have sex, or do you want to actually be sex? I'm not sure what he meant by that. But thats a great one, Josh. Really special.

"I would want to be able to speak every language in the world so that I could be the most effective missionary ever," as later stated so angelically by Joshua Hausen (you might remember Josh's previous answer "sex" as stated in the above quote). Nice recovery. Seamless, really.

"Be able to speak to all animals," as stated by our own Dr. Doolittle, Miss Laura Pearson. That's really cute, Laura. What would you say to a polar bear, huh? Don't kill me. I bet he'd listen.
*Laura soon retracted her desired power claiming that animals don't have thoughts. Prove it, Laura. Prove it, and I'll buy that excuse. I've seen some cats, and I bet they're thinking something. They're probably thinking "I'm the gayest animal ever."

"The ability to fly," as stated by Jeremiah Sizemore. Finally! An original power! Wait... well... at least it's awesome.

"The ability to draw a perfect circle," as stated by me. Yea, I know. Don't be jealous.

Good luck thinking of your magical/ super power. Some suggestions include:
"The ability to poop diamonds."
"The ability to never miss a note on guitar hero... no matter the level."
"The ability to make a perfect batch of creamed corn."
"The ability to cry liquid gold."
"The ability to hatch other animals eggs."

Cause we're all super-heroes inside,

Pray

Two things:

July 13th... I have the MCAT.

August 14th... I have American Idol auditions (and I just found my song)

Please, please be praying for me about these things! Funny how they coincide with my previous post. God could show me a lot from these two events! I'm excited!

Do you question the direction you're going? Do you ever wonder if all the work you've done is leading you to something that you weren't even really made for? I've often asked these questions, and I'm sure I'll continue. However, I've begun to realize that these are healthy questions to ask. They force you to really consider why you're doing the things you're doing and listen to the voice of God and His leading in life.
Right now I'm taking a year off of school to work full-time before possibly entering medical school (depending on whether or not I get in), but I've also always been interested in pursuing a career in music. I feel like God really has called me to help others, and medicine is an incredible outlet to do this. However, I also feel like I've been given some talent in different areas of art... mainly singing, and it's hard to know which to choose. Maybe I'm supposed to continue pursuing both of these paths and allow God to lead me through the dark areas that I'm unable to decipher. I know that He could use me in amazing ways through both medicine and performance, and I guess I just have to trust that He'll show me what to do with both opportunities. The most important thing to me, no matter where I end up, is that I am able to glorify Christ in my daily life. I have faith that He'll guide me as long as I seek Him. I'm excited about what's ahead.
Why did I write this? I'm not sure. But I know it's something that almost everyone struggles with, and I think it helps to know you're not the only one with questions and fears. We serve a huge, incredible God, and I'm so glad I have the assurance of Him.

Actually writing something serious,
Robby

It's been a while...

To start off... I've been a blogspot slacker, and I really don't have an excuse. To make up for it, I'm going to write the best post ever. Here it goes:

Party Hats
While many of you may think that party hats are a great tradition that should be continued for generations to come... you're wrong. They are not only completely ridiculous looking, but they are a danger to adults and children everywhere. Notice the spear-like point of the classic party hat. Intriging? Maybe. Deadly? Definitely. With enough speed and the right trajectory, a party hat point could easily penetrate human flesh leading to loss of blood, infection (possibly staph infection), and, yes, even death. Imagine the effects of a simple head butt when party hats are placed on the heads of those involved. I can see the devastation now. Do not be fooled by the pictures of butterflies (when writing the word "butterflies" it occured to me that that is a very odd word. Do butterflies have anything to do with butter? No. I doubt they even like butter. And they most certainly don't make it. Butter churns are far too large for butterlies to handle. Oh well... I guess Adam knew something I don't.), flowers, cartoon characters, cakes and candies, or simple colorful designs that decorate this hazardous head-wear, which is just one of the reasons these hats are so stupid looking. They are weapons disquised as entertaining apparel to secretly injure young and old alike. So... during your next party, leave the party hats at Dollar Tree and enjoy an injury-free time.

Just another thing to worry about,
Robby

New Album

Another project for this summer is to get Robby to record a new album. So everyone who reads this (probably just Caleb and Dwight) needs to harass Robby until he does it. Also, you should post any song suggestions so that it will be the greatest album of stolen songs ever recorded.

And don't worry, Christina Aguilera's Dirty is already the title track.

Who doesn't like a good bookshelf?

First of all, it rained really hard this morning and that was pretty exciting. Second, I stayed up until 2.30 this morning building an elephant-shaped bookshelf from scratch and I am pretty tired. Third, I agree with Caleb that 4 days without new posts is unacceptable. I blame it mostly on Robby who doesn't seem to know how to handle himself now that he does not have school to consume most of his time. Anyways, Robby and I are also starting a new custom-bookshelf-manufacturing company which specializes in bookshelf sets with different themes. I realize it makes no sense...but wait til you see the elephant prototype we are currently working on. Hopefully we will finish it tonight and may even start on the lion or giraffe (yes, they are all life-size).

Black Bear

Since I know most of our readers own businesses in the Florida area, I have added a link to my favorite Insurance Agency in that state. Black Bear Agency is run by an incredibly experienced and talented Agent out of Orlando, Florida and I suggest contacting them for all of your commercial insurance needs. However, if you do meet with him and he takes you to lunch or anything, make sure the brakes are working before riding with him for more than 6,000 miles.

Guitar Hero

We bought guitar hero last night. Also, I read today that economic productivity in China grew by 18.1% last year (anything over 6% is considered above-average expansion). So my idea for competing with China is to send them all copies of guitar hero. That will definitely kill their productivity. I already feel completely worthless and i've only played it twice.

Also, it has now been over two weeks at the new house with no hot water. It physically hurts to take a shower. Thankfully I only take three a week.

McDonald's is fat

I was in the drive-thru for McDonald's today (yes... I eat at McDonald's occasionally. You want to know why? Because it's cheap, and, as Jeremiah has already revealed, I'm poor), and I noticed a sign with chocolate chip cookies on it. If you know me at all, then you know that I love chocolate chip cookies and I'm the master of baking a perfect cookie, so, obviously, this sign caught my attention. At first glance, I saw a picture of 3 large cookies, and above them it said 3 cookies for $3.99, which I thought was a pretty steep price; especially for McDonald's. A quick double-take revealed that the sign did not say 3 cookies for $3.99 but 13 COOKIES FOR $3.99!!! It made me laugh, text Jeremiah the news, and then ponder who in the world needs 13 cookies from McDonald's and who decided it should be 13? I feel like 10 or 15 cookies is a much more understandable number to give. Saying 13 cookies is like saying we'll give you 12 cookies and two others that we found on the floor with bites out of them. It's just odd. Less unsanitary, but still odd. Oh, and I'm glad McDonald's is making sure we're getting our money's worth, but do people really need to be tempted to eat 13 cookies? Honestly, I don't think people should eat 13 of anything. Unless it's grapes (but be careful). All this to say that McDonald's is fat... fat and cheap. Like hookers.

Oh, robbery...

If a 90 year-old man is walking slowly through your neighborhood while intently looking at a house, should you assume he's going to rob it? I'm currently struggling with that very question.

Robby

Grapes

I know what you're thinking... Mmmm... I love grapes. I do too, but don't be fooled. They are tricky and can choke you if you're not careful. I didn't choke on one today, probably because I didn't try to eat one today. But I have choked before, and it's scary. I'm not trying to frighten you, I just want to protect you... our reader.

Try eating raisins. They're grapes... minus the water. But the best thing about them is their size. Tiny. You can't choke on tiny. It's just sad that they taste nothing like a grape. A price we must pay for safety, I guess.

My Favorite Native Americans

probably the Apache or the Shawnee.
the Sioux are so overrated.

Poor Bird

Robby convinced me to try the Graffiti thing and by the end of my first drawing I had ended up with this thing:

Might not compare with his masterpieces but I was proud of myself. The other one was on my sister's wall but she is in Congo right now so it is hidden until she checks facebook.

Also, Robby and I love Jesus very much. We just realized that our first few posts had semi-profanity, a hooker, and now a dead bird.

Facebook Graffiti

So... facebook has a new feature called "Graffiti" that will be the downfall of my MCAT score. Basically you can draw pictures and post them on peoples' walls. Here are my efforts thus far:



Praying the addiction won't last,
Robby

Robby is poor

Robby doesn't have a job this summer so he is trying to convince me to put ads on our blog cause he thinks we might make some money off of it. i told him that was stupid. but he said "it's worth a try, right?" unbelievable.

Welcome...

...to our blog. Yes, Robby and I are starting a blog. For those of you who might actually read this, I realize it is a pretty terrible idea to begin with. But we thought it could be interesting and you never know what sort of wisdom we might share on a daily basis. I'm sure many of the posts will be purely ridiculous while we fight bravely against growing up...but I also think there may be a few serious thoughts thrown in there on occasion. So look forward to that. "youll type what i say? is this just a test or are you going to include it in the blog. haha why arent you going to include it in your blog...i think it would be funny to explain why you typed this stuff. sh#@. did you just type sh#@ ?...nod for yes...so you did?" For instance that last quotation was me trying to prove to Robby that I could type as fast as he could talk. I got a little off there towards the end but oh well...he got the point. and he is now pretty intimidated.

Anyways, thanks for listening and I am actually kinda excited to see if anything comes out of all this.

Welcome from Robby

It was quickly discovered that naming this blog would be the greatest challenge to me and Jeremiah. We soon found a name that pleased both us and the wonderful individuals here at blogspot.com. However, I feel it necessary to list a few of the names that were thrown around in the course of this search. And they were:

Beessuck.blogspot.com
Post-partemdepression.blogspot.com
Wantsomecake.blogspot.com
Denimskirt.blogspot.com
Cornedbeef.blogspot.com
Feathers,feathers,feathers.blogspot.com
Butterflykisses.blogspot.com
Nuclearwinter.blogspot.com
Tuberculosis.blogspot.com
Iron-onpatches.blogspot.com
Grizzlybearcarcass.blogspot.com
Borderline.blogspot.com
Visiblechildren.blogspot.com

As much as I wanted to include both "dragon" and "wizard" in the title of the blog, Jeremiah just didn't feel they were the best words to include. I now agree that rightthenleft.blogspot.com is a much more appropriate and professional name. I look forward to the insightful and ridiculous postings that will arise through this avenue of expression, and I warn you to be careful... bears are no longer in a time of hibernation. Enter the woods with caution and hide your trash.

Watching out for you and the kids,
Robby
