Peter LaRock

Peter LaRock was a name I heard a lot
And I finally met him at our little spot
I set out in my mind not to like him at all
Infact I said I would rather look at the wall
This Peter was going to be so annoying and rude
Talking to no one but my sister the mean dude!
But then the day came when you walked though our door
Dad and Mom said come in all the more!
But to be quite honest with you...
I could not help but like him too.
There visit was so short
And I am going to miss them as they court.
Peter you are Caring, Loving, and Sweet
And are the nicest person I can ever hope to meet!

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.

Romans 12:9-10



One other thing I wanted to add Peter..

This past week when people have been asking me what I thought about you. I told them that you were a lot of fun and are like a big brother to me:-)

but I thought my eyes were blue?

What kind of eyes do you have?
Eden You have eden eyes. Eden is the color of water. Your eyes symbolize your great flexibility. You are a creative person. You can think of many good ways to get your point across to people as you have very good communication abilities. When someone feels down or is hurt, you have the remarkable ability to help them and heal them. If you have too little going on in your life, you may be withdrawn and depressed, timid, manipulative, unreliable, stubborn, or suspicious. Some words to describe you: peaceful, sincere, affectionate, tranquil, intuitive, trustworthy, pure, loyal, healing, and stable.

Yes that it has.. So here is what I have been doing this past week.(in a short version:)


Went to the IL State Capital with Mom, Janessa, Judy, and Jeff.... It got me really excited about this years Teenpact class.
Stood for 3 hours and directed people to the room where the IFFM people were meeting.
Listened to the most interesting conversations....And I mean strange. Take this for one
(this older man was talking to another man about how fickle women are!!!!! enough said;-)
Talked to a really cool lady for about 2 hours about...well most everything.

I just changed my Xanga( http://www.xanga.com/joestar100) picture so it got me thinking about some really good books/movies I have read/seen this year. (sorry about the pictures being out of order... blogger is being annoying today:-)


this first one is a book that I am reading right now. I hope to see the movie soon! It is called "Lorna Doone" it has to do with this group of people called the Doone's who were nothing but ruthless.






This is a picture from the movie "Amazing Grace" which I really want to see again! It was oh... so good.










And I could not do a post about movies without taking the time to post about pirates of the caribbean 2!


This is one I saw not to long ago call "The count of MonteCcristo" Which was really good as well.

This one I put up Just for Jane! called " Wives and Daughters" Very slow but good:-)

This was my favorite read this year."Daniel Deronda" by Geroge Elliot the movie was just like the book! I just loved it! (as my family can tell you)

So I thought I would share.....

so I took a quiz and I thought I would share who I am...

You scored as Maximus. After his family was murdered by the evil emperor Commodus, the great Roman general Maximus went into hiding to avoid Commodus's assassins. He became a gladiator, hoping to dominate the colosseum in order to one day get the chance of killing Commodus. Maximus is valiant, courageous, and dedicated. He wants nothing more than the chance to avenge his family, but his temper often gets the better of him. Maximus 67% Indiana Jones 38% Captain Jack Sparrow 38% El Zorro 38% William Wallace 38% The Terminator 33% Lara Croft 33% The Amazing Spider-Man 29% James Bond, Agent 007 17% Batman, the Dark Knight 17% Neo, the "One" 13% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com

woot woot! I am 38% Jack Sparrow. So I took it again and guess who I got!!!!!!!

You scored as Captain Jack Sparrow. Roguish,quick-witted, and incredibly lucky, Jack Sparrow is a pirate who sometimes ends up being a hero, against his better judgement. Captain Jack looks out for #1, but he can be counted on (usually) to do the right thing. He has an incredibly persuasive tongue, a mind that borders on genius or insanity, and an incredible talent for getting into trouble and getting out of it. Maybe its brains, maybe its genius, or maybe its just plain luck. Or maybe a mixture of all three. Captain Jack Sparrow 54% The Terminator 50% Batman, the Dark Knight 50% El Zorro 46% Neo, the "One" 46% William Wallace 42% Lara Croft 38% Indiana Jones 38% Maximus 38% James Bond, Agent 007 38% The Amazing Spider-Man 33% Which Action Hero Would You Be? v. 2.0 created with QuizFarm.com
