Out of my comfort zone:

I do not like roller coasters. The last time I was on a roller coaster was May of last year, in Vegas. We went to Vegas for vacation and late on our last night there we went to the Stratosphere; which is the largest building on this side of the Mississippi River. On top of the Stratosphere there are three roller coasters; Big shot shoots passengers straight up 160 feet at 45 miles per hour (over 4 Gs) putting you 1081 feet above the strip. That's the one I went on, it scared me so bad I wont touch a roller coaster ever again.

I also experienced another thing in Vegas that I'm never doing again, the elevator goes 21 miles per hour! Scared me half to death. Elevators already scared me, but I drew the line there.

Last night:

Last night was the most intense night of my life. I was in Portland, at the Roseland Theater to see Silverstein; August Burns Red; and A Day To Remember. I went with my friend Ben and we got up to the front with these two guys and we were pushing people back and we ended up moshing and crowd surfing for ten minutes then back to the front we went. Then A Day To Remember came on the stage, and I moshed to every one of there breakdowns. after the show I ended up seeing a lot of my friends there that I never saw on the inside, it was pretty weird. we hung out for a little bit than my step dad got there and took us back home. Now my neck is killing me and my calf's are on fire.

Do parent roles change?

I believe they do, because their kids get out of diapers and into school within 5 years. Then middle school comes and they find they're roots for what they want to be when they get older. Then high school comes, the kids are around drugs and alcohol, and could royally mess up their plans for their future. All these parents have to deal with their kids coming home every night from when they started school with different attitudes every year that goes by. It goes from first kiss, to their first time smoking weed almost in an instant. Then the parents are wondering "When or where did I mess up and become a bad parent?" Parenting roles change every day until they're kid becomes an adult, and nothing will ever change that.

A story:

I was walking to school one day and this dragon came out of nowhere and I reached for my sword, but it wasn't there. Than I remembered that we aren't allowed to bring weapons to school. So I ran back to my house really quick to grab it, and the dragon followed me there crashing into everything on the way. I got my sword and look the dragon in the eye and said "f**k you dragon!" And he bit my leg off, and I punched him in the eye and stabbed him repeatedly. That was the first time I slayed a dragon.

In Our Final Hour:

The band (Ed, Ben, and I) have found two new members. We have changed things around though. Ben is now on guitar, because he is a way better guitarist than a drummer. Ed still plays guitar. I switched to drums, because I'm a better drummer than a vocalist. Thomas and I have been friends for a year now and he got really good at vocals, he told us about his friend Brian, who plays bass. I know Brian, he is really good at playing guitar and bass, and he has a lot of equipment that we need to record, play shows, and so on. Regardless we needed a bass player. that's how the band has been going.

And we started making tee shirts, with our name on the front and a design, or quotes from our songs on the back. we are almost finished with the rough copies on uberprints.com. We have a few for sure designs that we are going with. Our main design is I O F H on the front, and a big clock on the back.

Anne Frank's statement of the day:

"Things are just as bad as you, yourself care to make them." I think it means that things aren't as bad as they seem, but a hyperactive mind would make things seem worse. I do agree with this statement because things are never as bad as they seem. They might seem that way in your brain, however where there is a will, there is a way. In other words, for every bad situation, there is either a solution or a way out of it. If you put yourself and the other person/thing in front of what you think, there is a solution or a way out.

What I remember about the Diary of Anne Frank:

They went into hiding from the Nazi's, and they almost got caught one day. Then they had friends help them with food, and supplies. Anne and Peter have some sort of relationship, and Margot doesn't like it. I personally don't like the book, because it's all complaints. I can understand why you would complain about it, because it's the Holocaust, but I don't want to read a book about somebody complaining, or finding love or anything like that, because books are for imagination, and mystery, not real life scenarios. if i wanted to listen to people complain, I'd watch Metallica's Some Kind of Monster DVD coverage of the recording process of St. Anger.

Anne Frank's diaries being published?:

I don't really think she'd care that much, because the news would go right after her family for hiding for a long time then getting caught, if she had lived they would have gone after her about it. I would care about some of the parts in it, because a lot of that diary is personal stuff, like her experience with that girl, and everything about Peter. i wouldn't want everybody to read those things about me. But it would have happened either way.

What would I do in Germany 1944?

Well if i were in Germany in 1944, I would just go along with what everybody was doing and probably not kill any Jews, because I'm not Jewish, I'm Danish and German. I'd actually kill a lot of Nazi's, because I know genocide is not right, and for all of them to be that ignorant is just beyond me. Food would be scarce, finding food would be the hardest part, but checking every corner store for bread would be risky if I were killing Nazi's. So I'm not sure what I would do.

Blogging and Diary of Anne Frank:

Well the differences between the two are we always blog about her diary for some reason, and we don't write about the Holocaust, or it's events. There are similarities, like we blog about what happened over the weekend like she wrote about what happened over the last few days. And we blog about situations, like she would write about the past situations she was in.

Why I should go to school:

I'm going to go to school every day, because I need to get my G.E.D. Done and over with. I want to start going to Chemeketa next year, but the only way I could do that is if i have my G.E.D. or diploma. When I get that done I'm moving to Phoenix AZ, for more schooling in the automotive technology programs at MMI.

What happened while the teach was gone:

She's in love with Peter. All she really talked about was making eye contact with him, or talking with him. And Margot's birthday if that's of any importance. thats all I was here for so I dont know what else was going on.

Did I ever have a crush in grade school?:

I did, her name is Emma Englehart. We did start dating in the Spring of 2006 (7th grade), all the way to freshman year 2008, after Christmas time. So I guess my crush came true, but of course it ended. Having a crush is kinda foolish in a sense. I just think if you really like somebody, just ask them out; it's not hard. And I also learned a way of getting out of the awkwardness of her/him saying no, just say, "I'm just kidding." It works every time.

Anne Franks father Pim:

I think he just goes with what sounds best, like in the part when everybody was taking Margoe's side cause it sounded best to all of them. I think he's an in between kind of guy.

Where and whats the best way to get the news?

I get the news from two places, yahoo before I go to my facebook, myspace, or twitter. And my TV always has the news on and I'm usually watching it. I believe that from the TV is the best way to get the news, because you have somebody actually telling you about whats going on in the world, other than having to read it yourself.

p.s. that whole thing in Portland about the cop shooting that "black" guy is total bull shit, he saw what looked like a gun and shot, how is that racial? If a black cop had shot him it would be no big dead, just because the cop was white does NOT!!! make him a racist.

Love is...

One time my mom bought me a whole XL pizza when I had a cold, because she felt bad cause she couldn't take care of me cause she was sick too. That's just one time I've felt some sort of caring/loving feeling.

why does genocide happens:

I don't really know why genocide happens. It might have to do with diversity and hatred mixed in together in a melting pot (mind.) And being able to convince people into what your beliefs are, and the will power to kill multiple people. I think that's why genocide happens

What and how often I read:

I don't really read to much at home. When I do read I'm usually reading or writing down and reading over lyrics, or other bands new lyrics. Every once and a while I'll be reading something written by Steven King, about a month ago I read Four Past Midnight by him. Recently I have been looking for a Max Brooks book called World War Z. It's pretty much about being in the zombie apocalypse, and the scenarios. When I get it, I'm reading it cover to cover.

What do I like about the book?:

I don't really like the book, cause it's just a lot of complaining and. If I wanted that I'd watch Jerry Springer. The plot makes the complaining a little bit easier to handle, but still I'd rather read something with a little fun and good in it than something about the Holocaust. In my opinion, the book isn't a good read, it's just to sad and annoying.

Is everybody good at heart?

Everybody is good about some things, but not everything. Like people who have gotten an abortion, have no right to take a life for your stupid decision of having unprotected sex, but that does not make them bad people, they're just stupid.

Why did they help Anne Frank?:

I think they were friends with the family before this all happened, that has to be one explination. Either that or thay were just really nice people. I really don't know a lot about this subject at all so this blog is kind of pointless.

Reality Show:

I would probably participate in Survivor. Cause I have always loved that show since I was a little kid. My main strategy would be to get everybody on my side then slowly turn them all against each other, but still all be friends with me. And never let them know how I'm doing this, and if they come up to me and be like are you doing whatever is going on, I'd be like doing what? So I'll have a strong chance of at leased making it into the final four, if not that I lived my whole life without one million dollars, I can go the rest without it.

Anne Frank:

She was a Jewish, German. Her family moved to Holland when she was about 13 years old. When the Holocaust started, she, and her family were in hiding in a cellar per say, and the family that was hiding was a non-Jewish family. That's about all I know about Anne Frank.

Standing up for someone:

Last night some guy called my girlfriend a fat bitch over texting. So I called him and told him my address and asked him if he liked the taste of curb. I've stood up for many things in my life, like people making fun of my friends, and people threatening people or themselves. And i've fought so many people for what they have said or done to people. Like this one time I fought this kid for punching a girl in the face. I dont take that kind of stuff from anybody, ever.

Haiti:

Haiti earthquake, a horrible tragedy that struck Port-au-Prince. Many died from toddlers to senior citizens. I think it would be freaky to be there and knowing my luck I'd be dead, but it's a NATURAL disaster and there is nothing we can do to change that. "We have to be there for them in their hour of need," President Obama said, because he like all of us are worried for their safety.

Random Character:

His name is Roman Wilson, he is a straight edge bad ass. He fights for Team Terror in the M.M.A. Division. He will never back down from a fight no matter what, he is 6 foot, 2 inches. His main goal in life is to make it into the U.F.C. He loves to go to party's as the sober guy that makes people laugh. He will never do drugs, smoke, or drink, and he loves hardcore music.

My Life:

I don't remember much from my childhood, but I remember my first experience with Metal music. I was eight years old and I found a Metallica cd in my dads car. It was the black album, easily in the top three best selling albums ever. Then I met Ed Winkle in the sixth grade, we have been best friends since then. Sharing music like Slipknot, The Misfits, And the gateway to death metal Cannibal Corpse. After listening to the insane fast riffs and blast beats, I needed more. In my freshman year I saw Cannibal Corpse live with The Black Dahlia Murder. After listening to The Black Dahlia Murder for a while came Suicide Silence, And the introduction to my band with Ed Winkle, Ben Winkle, and Hayden Boone, In Our Final Hour. A Metalcore band from Salem Oregon, we hope to be a band kids look up to for inspiration for their own band to keep Metal music alive.

Winter Break:

At band practice we got into the first song we were going to play and the bass head on the drums snapped inward not even duct tape would work. Then we moved the band downstairs at my house, and now we just have to soundproof the room and we can practice in my bedroom and record there.
