Jul 15, 2006

I am slowly getting back into journaling and letting my thoughts.  Truthfully I love to journal, i just do it on my blog on myspace.com.  Ironically, myspace is the reason I am going back a few weeks in time to a explain a few things happening in my life.  I live on myspace actually, not as much as I was two months ago , however myspace is the cause of a budding friendship, my mission being paid for (now I just need to petition the First Presidency to let me go), and a new found testimony of the power of Faith.

Memories

Recording memories of my past:


I don't know why I remember this over all memories but I'll record it here.  It was Labor day Weekend and I was 13 years old (i think) so that would have been 1995 and my family was camping on the beach down in Camp Pendleton, San Diego California with friends of the Family Tom and Harriett Adametz.  Before going I stole my step fathers speedos from his room.  I took my little sister Holly over to the Jetti there was no waves and took of my swim trunks (I was wearing the speedos underneath)  Try to make sure Holly did not notice but she did, told my parents. Just say I got in trouble.

*****Don't know why these first few entries are the ones I am remembering first but they are all from the same period of my life Go figure**********


I was living off Joann Dr. in Oceanside, San Diego, California (cross streets college and olive)  I remember i would sneak out late at night through the garage and out through the side gate and go streaking up and down the streets.  I t was a rush I enjoyed it.  Just be free unrestrained by clothes.  I liked to run through the sprinklers naked run in front of cars stopped at the stop light and flash them-  I was around 12-13  -- it was fun for me.

This I remember definately happened before the last two entries.  I was living in base housing Wire Mountain II on Camp Pendleton on Dogwood St.  I had a couple of friends of friends named Cory (age 12) and Ammon (about age 15 or 16)----- (Actually next few  entries will be during my life on base, actually I am surprised how much I am remembering)  Life on base was from the ages 11.5-13.  However one day Cory, Ammon and myself where down in the canyon and it was hot.  There was a small creek and we would strip down and go wading.  However one day  while we were just sitting down there drying off  Ammon reached over and started to rub his hand on my crotch..... I will not go into any further detail except to me I did not know it was wrong doing things with other boys- - was natural to me I was raped at the age of 6 whn living in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Ammon and Cory and I did all different things. (I apologize to myself just recording my life regardless what has happened in it.  To me it was just having fun and confusing.  And we did stuff over a period of time.  most of the time not by choice just did not want to lose any friends others because it was a little fun.  This is the only incident I am recording

Age 12

I spent the night one night at Cory's we stayed up all night playing video games- NES we played soltice all night long. We drank so much coffee and ate so many MRE's  it was not funny.  That morning we helped Cory's father deliver newspapers and as soon as we got back home I threw up all over the van.  Later that day we found a grenade in the canyon never detonated.  We carried it back towards Cory's house in my shirt(the canyon was right behind Cory's house)  We told hs parents that we found it in the slope behind his house.  Bomb squad was called then we had to tell the truth.

5th Grade I went to Santa Margarita right there on base.  My teacher was Mrs. Haggerty.  I remember learning about the slave trade in History.  We roped off areas with tape to demostrate the area of space these slaves had to themselves.  It was very cramped.  I remember Times test, where you had to master multiplication tables in a certain time period.  I remember reading 100 Dresses and the Witch of Blackbird Pond.  Also 5th grade was my first introduction to sex education.  I loved to play 4 square at recess.

6th grade went to two different schools 1st part of the year Jefferson Middle school and second part of the year to Washington Middle school.  We will concentrate on Jefferson for now.  At Jefferson (mascot falcons) I was in cross country and I also played the sax.  Jefferson I had my first Middle School crush Rebecca Chasee.  I think she liked me two.  We would always exchange trinkets with one another and always hung out together.  At lunch we played handball and we and our clique of people who hung out together.  A few other guys and this kid in the wheelchair, wish I could remember his name, but we had our group.  I also remember playing the sax at lunch upperclassmen, 7th and 8th graders would toss money inmy case to get me to shut up.  I took the money but I did not shut up.

July 11, 2006

I start this journal with the intent of recording daily life.  I start this journal with a story of stupidity one i find humor in anyways.  Yesterday about 6pm I wiped out on my friend Josh's bike (moped).  I went to brake, i ended up hitting the gas and turned at the same time throwing me off the bike.  The bike suffered a few scratches nothing major. However me on the otherhand suffered a bruised hip, couple of cuts on the elbow, and a really bad sprained ankle.   We had a great FHE at Bishop Hoopes house for the single ward.  Joe my roommate and a few others jumped off Bishop Hoopes rock wall into the pool.  My friend Josh hit it off with Elizabeth, my roommate chase's ex.  I tried to hold out until today to go to the doctor however by 10pm yesterday I could not move my foot or put any pressure on it for it really hurt. 

Today I went and saw the Testaments at the Visitor Center here in St. George even though I have seen it many times.  It is a great day everyday when we are in the presence of our Heavenly Father.

Oh btw I am on crutches.
