OMG! NEW MOON PREMIERE!

This is the first, and hopefully the last blog entry I ever write about the Twilight series. Tonight, teenage girls and their vampire craze will be unleashed upon this innocent world. The second installment of the Twilight saga, New Moon will be shown in theatres in less than 90 minutes. For over two hours, the night will be filled with screaming. Not of terror, but of pure delight. Did you know you can buy cardboard cut-outs of Edward Cullen? That's creepy, real creepy. Even creepier that the fact that now, 90% of teenage girls believe vampires exist. Even their moms are in love with Robert Pattinson. Personally, I think it would be interesting to visit a theatre nearby and see what the scene there is like. I don't want to watch the movie, just check out how many fan girls dressed up as their favorite vampire. Taylor Lautner is quite popular too, partly because he had to gain 30 pounds of muscle for this movie. Myself, I still can't get over the fact that he was Sharkboy. Yes, Sharkboy.

Important Issues: Water

Today's important issue is water. No, I'm not an environmental freak trying to tell you to conserve water and save the world. That is ACTUALLY important. We're exploring H2O at a much smaller scale today. We're talking about just the water in your home. If you didn't already know (and you'd better), all the water in your house is connected. That means if someone turns on the cold water tap somewhere, there won't be much cold water anywhere else in the house. This can turn out to be really annoying and frustrating. That happened to me today when I was taking a shower. Someone decided to either flush the toilet or wash their hands, and I was shocked with some scalding hot water. That really sucked. Words cannot describe how irritating that is.

A Serious Entry.

I've had a very meaningful weekend so far. Yesterday at youth group, we packed sandwich bags to hand out. And today, that's what we did. Me and Jeff met up with my youth group at Science World in the morning. Anthony came too. We walked around downtown handing out our 76 sandwich bags. Although it was freezing cold and raining even with our jackets and warm clothes on, I bet it was even worse for the people who received our sandwich bags. It was a really good experience getting to see firsthand what it was like for the homeless people in Vancouver, something a person like me doesn't see often. I felt really humbled and thankful for that. It really makes a person appreciate what you have. I also felt very sad and disappointed when many people didn't get a sandwich bag because there wasn't enough. It was probably one of the few times that I really felt strongly for other people. I hope the people enjoyed the sandwiches we carefully made and packed, even if they didn't read the encouraging messages stapled to them. I felt like we had really made a difference today. Even though we only provided a single meal, this may be one of the few encounters they have with a Christian. It was definitely unique and I enjoyed it very much.

Important Issues: Leaf Blowers

To mark the season of fall, I have decided to write about important issues, such as leaf blowers. They are pretty pointless. You're just moving your mess and giving it to someone else. It' s like dumping the broccoli you don't want to eat on someone else's plate. Rake 'em and bag 'em, I say!
