piercing my soul by thomas kvamme

your eyes pierce deep into my soul
some how you take control
moving in and out of my mind
controlling all the thoughts you find
your eyes, the gate way to your heart
radiating beauty from every part
nothing in my mind but you
your eyes make the wonderful view
why is there no peace when you are gone
your light brighter than that of the dawn

well hello again,

i wrote this before but it didn't work so we'll see.

Tuesday: got all my stuff done, got to school printed my spainish before school and waited till lunch to do english,got to lunch and had to go to holiday to get a video for english cause that was part of my plan so i went and i went to the aisle the used to be in and they weren't there so i looked again, nope not there, i looked in all the other aisle and finally found tapes, cassette tapes, video camera tapes, duct tape, but they were all out of vhs tapes. so i had to run to walmart, got a tape got to the check out line, the lady infront of me was buying clothes for her daughter, who looked about 4, she kept being slow and talking to the cashier, then it was time to pay 32.96 and she pays with ones. she had 25 already counted out and papercliped but nope she counted those anyway...grrrr...finally got through paid my 97cents for my video, went back to school, little bit of running involved. got there with about a minute to class went to fishers room and was worn out. english came, turned out didn't need video or outline till the next day. arghh.

Wednesday: school and the like, then time for church, we played the bigger and better game for those of you who don't know you start with something small, for us it was one of our youth group pens, and try to trade for something bigger and better. the first house my group got a dead fridge wit no doors, we figured not many people would want to trade for such an item but we continued on our quest. we went to a house and tramatized the kid whose parents weren't there. went to the next house, eplained the game to the guy and asked if he had anything he would like to trade the first words out of his mouth were "well, geez... my wife isn't home" then he says "if you would have come a week ago i had this old car i gave away" man a car would rock. so then we saw they parents come home at the newly tramatized kids house, we went to explain, they ended up giving us a box of thick fudge brownies with chocolate frosting, and we even got to keep the dead fridge. we went back to church to see what else people got, i brought home: the brownies, a briefcase, a skateboard, and a cool toy police helmet with microphone. its great

Thursday: erin koppang's birthday, happy birthday, i forgot her gift at home when i had to run to the bus so i felt bad all day.

Friday: rememered erins gift. felt better. sorta feeling really sick and stuff stinko well thats all so far, i might get to go to camp tomorrow but probably not, then i have to concerts to do sunday morning. well i am gonna go try get better

yeah so i am really bad at updating regularly but hey, no ones perfect. so here are the ongoings in my life

thursday: went to school and stuff, i did something on thursday night but i can't remember what.

friday: no school its great. so i finally have a day off and my mom makes me clean the family room, for those of you who haven't been to my house we have a living room upstairs and a family room in the basement along with a bathroom, laundry room, 3 bedrooms, and an apartment (1bedroom, 1bath, kitchen/dining room) so since i am the only kid left home and there fore have the basement to myself the family room has basically become an extension of my room, with my computer in it and me commonly sleeping on the couch. so i had to clean that up. then my dad came down to check make sure it was clean and made a huge deal cause my room wasn't clean. i tried to explain to him i only had to do the family room and so after a while he’s like "lets ask your mother" and she says "well i didn't say that before but you have to now" so i had to do that and i am told i can get a desk if i clean my room(my old one broke which is why my computer is on a door which is resting on a table) so i cleaned my room cause i have to clean it before i leave for the summer anyway. so then i am done with that at about 3:30 or 4 and i am like "dad wanna go get a desk?" and he says "in a little bit" so i go play computer for a while come up at 5:30ish and he is making supper and says "i saw a deal for a desk at office max" so i figured we'd go after supper since he is cooking it now. so i ask him after i do the dishes and he says "i wanted to go this afternoon" so then it took an hour to convince him and then he made me call make sure they were still open...at 7... so we went and i saw one i liked then he pointed out all the other ones and i said "i like this one and it is cheaper than the ones you pointed out too." so i finally convinced him to get it so we go up to the counter and give them the slip things and wait for a little bit and he gets tired of waiting so we leave. as we get into the car i see that they are bringing it up to the counter now so i tell him, his response "well we might get it tomorrow" so we go home and i finish the night watching tv and such.

saturday: wake up at about 11 have to do the dishes again and wash the counter and clean the floor, do that then bum around tiil my dad gets home and i say "lets go get a desk" and he says "maybe later" i don't let him do that again so we go now. first we go to best buy and i point out to him that they have a horrible selection of desks they cost lots more and we already saw one i liked the night before at office max so he says " well lets check the fargo office max" so we go there they have they desk i want and but he still finds the need to point out all the other desks they have. finally we get my desk and go home and start making it. got bored went and watched a movie. stayed up till 3:30 and then listened to at least a half an hour of "adventures in odyssey" so I was up till at least 3:45

Sunday: had to be at church at 6:30 so i set my real alarm for 5:24 and my travel alarm for 5:31 so first my real alarm goes off i hit sleep, then my travel alarm goes off and i turn it off and since it was so annoying i throw it across the room. then my real alarm goes off again cause it was on sleep this time i turn it off all the way, my mom comes down and wakes me up at 6:10 i am actually functioning at 6:17 so i go take a shower and get to church at 6:40, i was late but i was still there before other people, set up for the sunrise service breakfast, served the sunrise service, did powerpoint for 1st service, set up stuff in youth room and started music incase anyone came (there was no official sunday school) went down served continental breakfast and then went and watched veggie tales Jonah on the big screen in the sanctuary. did powerpoint for the second service came home had food slept, woke up watched tv, went to bed at about 1

Monday: did not to much for the whole day had teen vision practice at 5 so of course my mom tells me that i have to wash the floor and she tells me at 4:50. teen vision practice was good, good to see people again fun stuff. got home and said i need to do my sppech for english and spainish gradstandard which is huge so i started doing those at 3:30 i am writing this to take a break from them i haven't hought of a speech topic yet. oh well.

yeah so thats my week. and someone asked me a question and i have no clue so i am asking you, if someone normally ends their e-mails just by writing their name(we'll use the name katie as an example)

blahblahblah
katie

and then start ending them like this

blahblahsmegblah

love,
katie

Does that mean anything or are they reading too much into this? That the question i don't know

thomas kvamme

once again i am coming to you live (well maybe not live) from the nashville library. yesterday was pretty fun. lets see what happened. hung around in the lobby somemore meeting all kinds of people. then was going to get supper at about 6:10 so i went to the subway i saw before. closed at 5, looked down the street saw a quiznos, closed at 6, looked down the street and saw another subway closed at six so i gave up and didn't eat supper. went to the hotel room for a while then went to a concert i heard was good.it stunk bad, not like "oh they have talent but i don't like their style" kind of stink but the "they can't even play a chord or sing or hit the drums on the beat" kind of stink. so i came back to the hotel and went to the late night show case featuring strange celebrity, dakona, robert randolf and the family band, and downhere the whole thing was hosted by souljahz. first souljahz did a song which was great then strange celebrity did a few songs and i had to go eat i was so hungry i hadn't eaten anything really since my ceral for breakfast. so i went up to the room and convinced my parents to take me to somewhere that didn't close at 5 or 6 (cause it was a little after 10) and the jonathon said he would drive so we went to mickey dee's and got some food then he just drove around for a while and i was like "hey i wanna go back to the concert" and he didn't care so when we finally got back i had missed everybody but downhere, they were pretty good. then i went and played some ps2 till about 1 and went to bed. so tonight i don't know what to do one showcase is reliant k and grits and sandtown hosted by tobymac and another is superchic[k] doing their first ever acoustic set ever in history. and there are someother ones too that i want to see... grrr why are thy putting all the good people playing at the same time in two different places???? why i ask you...why...grrrr. i'll ask matt (from superchic[k]) and see if he knows why.well time to go eat.
