Happy Sabbath!

Happy Sabbath everybody.

I just thought I'd post a little about what's going on with my life.

Well, I'm going to go on a cruise to Mexico tomorrow. That should be fun, but I don't know what to expect. I've never been on a cruise ship. But my family saved some money, and planned like a year ahead, so we're finally doing it.

Right now, I'm listening to one of my favorite christian songs.

Here's the link:

I love that song.

Whenever I listen to that song, I always feel so much closer to God. I can't explain it, but when I play video games, watch TV, read fiction, stuff like that, life has a different feeling to it. When I listen to Remedy Drive, or read the Bible, however, life suddenly takes on this brighter look. I think that's why every Sabbath when I look outside, everything looks prettier than it usually does.

If you guys have time, I'd like you to comment and tell me what you do on Sabbath/Saturday mornings.

Lately, life has been taking a new turn. New people are coming into my life, and some are leaving. Unfortunately, many of the changes that have been happening I'm not liking so much.

I also thought I'd mention about why I write stories. Well, there are a couple reasons:

1) My imagination is very vast, so I like to let it all out in different stories.

2) If I'm mad, I don't know how to express it without making other people suffer. That's why if I'm writing, I make my characters angry, so then my feelings can be put on them. If that makes any sense.

3) A lot of the time, it's to get my mind off of things.

Btw, if you haven't read any of my stories, but would like to, go to this link:

Basics of Life

In my life, I've learned a couple of things. From, how to use the bathroom, to, how to talk your way out of situations. And I've found, that everytime you learn something, your character has slightly changed. When I learned about the meaning of friendship, I stopped lying to my friends for attention.

That's why it's important to be careful what you learn. Don't learn how to smoke, if you don't plan on smoking afterwards. It's common sense.

Though, learning why smoking is bad, is another matter. You're giving yourself information that you can use later. For instance, lets say that I learned, "Smoking causes cancer, heart disease and chronic lung disease. It kills 120,000 people in the UK every year and is the single most preventable cause of early death in the world.". Now lets say I had a friend who smoked, and he asked me why I didn't smoke. Wouldn't it be nice to know that information? I could tell him, and maybe he would consider throwing away his cigarettes.

I'm getting ahead of myself. My name is Anthony. I am a thirteen year old, and I am a Seventh Day Adventist. My dad is a pastor, and my mom works in a hospital.

My parents divorced early this year. Though, they had separated about three years ago.

And no, neither of my parents were unfaithful or anything like that. I'll just leave it at, it's not interesting enough to talk about it (that, and I don't want to be misunderstood).

Anyway, I have two siblings. A younger brother, Logan (9 since December). And an older sister, Danielle (17). They each are four years apart from me (for those of you who can't do math).

A lot of you might be wondering why I'm writing a blog at all. Well, I write stories. Books, stuff like that. Haven't attempted to publish, yet. Currently working on a Romance/Teen/Young Adult/etc. kind of a book. And I've been wanting to write something more about MY personal feelings.

Though, considering no one will want to read a BOOK about my feelings. I thought I'd blog about it!

So I'm writing about my feelings about things, people. I'll write about where I've been going and what's been happening in my life. Things like that.

I'm guessing that no one will end up reading this blog anyway, so I guess a better word for it will be a public journal.

Now, at the end of every blog post, I shall put a quote. It could be funny, it could be deep. ANYTHING!

Well, guess there's nothing left to say but,

God bless!
