Have you ever. . .

done something really silly and got caught in your own stupidity? I mean like this picture- ok this boy got the not so bright idea to stick his head through the hole in a chair and it got stuck. Not such a big deal if you are able to get out of it on your own or if your buddy needs to help you and then you both can laugh about it later. But what I mean is that he got caught in his silly mistake- the fire dept. has to come and cut him out at school!

For me, I thought it would be cool if I could do a handstand. I was in college and helped out in JH and I thought it would be neat if I could just drop down into a handtand at TNL one night and walk around on my hands. I can't do a handstand. So I decide to practice against a wall so I can figure it out. While I am upsidedown against this wall in my parents house watching Jeopardy, I start to lose my balance and kick my legs out to gain it back. Well I kick the solid oak clock with a pendulum and chimes off the wall. Thinking, "oh great, I broke the clock," I suddenly realized that my finger hurt. I looked at my hand and screamed in pain because I completly broke my right hand ring finger in half. And the ring I was wearing was now smashed flat inbetween my 2 bone pieces.


Well it is a long and crazy story of what all happened that night but needless to say I needed surgery to put my finger back together. I had 2 pins in there- it was crazy, all for a handstand.


Do you have a story of where you did something silly and others totally found out? Tell me your story!! I can't wait to hear about it!

a new game


I found this really cool puzzle game- its called Hyperflash and what you have to do is link up squares of the same color on a 3d cube. Ok- sounds lame but I swear it is addicting!!! Give it a go. They have a speed version or a mind version. You see how quick you can solve easier puzzles or you solve increasingly difficult puzzles as you go up levels- pretty cool stuff:)


Try it and let me know what level or speed you get to! Right now I am at level 18 and my speed score is 13200. How did you do?

Prodigy




Do you know what that is? It is a young person who is capable of doing something way beyond what most adults could even do. Someone who is extremly talented and gifted beyond their years- a genius. I just saw this cool video about a girl prodigy. She is your age and is an amazing painter. She says she is inspired by God- her story is so cool you have got to watch!
