Most of the fam is in town. The Schuller's arrived last saturday. Then Erin and Emily came last night. Ben and Sutton come on the 27th with the Freden's following to Boise. It seems Travis has been kinda bored here. With no guns or anything to blow up he's been playing alot of computer games. :)
Lots has happened since my last post. I went to Leavenworth with the school choir. That was cool. Although the town barely had any german stuff. They would try to be cool by mixing english with german on their signs and stuff. Then sick the whole time with the stomach flu. Do not ask what went on in the b-room during those days.....(hahah).
Basketball is going good, the coaches are playing me more. But I've missed quite a bit of b-ball due to acouple of things. The trip and going on a 3-day ski trip to Schweitzer.
Wednesday the ski-club headed up to Sandpoint, Idaho. We skied/boarded for 2 days and then came home Friday. It was awesome! I have mastered the black and double black diamonds now. I just need to get better on doing cool tricks. Im glad I skipped ball for the trip.
The "Band" is finally in the works. Im in battle of bands with McKenzie, Jaime, Ian, and Luis. We have some very talented musicians and it should be alot of fun. We're doing More than Words by Extreme, Shiver by Coldplay, and Till I Collapse from Eminem. Then another song but we haven't decided on it.
Here's the music video of More Than Words if you did'nt know it yet.

Snow Day!
Boxing.
Just some random photos in my bulldog shorts...
We had a snow day today, booyah! I woke up this morning at 6:30 and looked up on the schools website to see if we had any delays. It said 2 hour delay, ok...sweet, back to bed. Then an hour later mom wakes me up and says, "schools cancelled". ok...sweeet....back to bed.
Today McKenzie and I have been practicing for battle of the bands tryout this wednesday. Its going okay. We've got some funny songs in our selection.
Then around 12 I snuck into CBC and worked out with Martin and Jarred for about an hour.
Wow, went to church Sunday at flippin 9:00. It so much smaller now that the ward has been split. There are only 2 priests and a teacher in my quorom. I like it better smaller though.
Alright...das ist alles. I dont feel like writing as much today. Have a nice Monday.
Think Im going to have a get-to-gether at the spa tonight...
Bis Bald.

Yea yea yeah!
I had a good weekend this "weekend"...(wierd?).
Went to the b-ball game friday night. Pasco lost by 1 point, (49-50) against Eastmont. It was a really good game and we were outplaying them most of the time. At one point we were up by 10 points. Games are way better knowing all the players, plays, and coaches for some reason.
After the game we went to Jarred's house for some talkin, guitar hero, and....dancing.
Saturday morning I had a game at Southridge. We won by 2 points. Got a bucket, and no one scored on me. That low block is MY HOUSE! (running "23", o yeah, its a good zone play).
Now the intense fun starts.
I went to Badger Mountain with Jarred Gonzalez and Mike Wilson. The whole mountain was covered in snow and ice, it was a challenge worthy of a spartan.....(and no we were not that bored). It was fun and we got some sweet pics.
At base camp....Rocking my new Avies!
Barely made it...(my "cotton" jacket was wet, thus I had to take it off to prevent hypothermia???) ;)
Nice pic at the summit. By a random stranger.
Uh oh....We actually went up that trail. It sucked.
After that we met up with Martin Zavala and Tyler Nelson at Toeshi's, this korean/ chinese restaraunt Jarred swears by. It was good, I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, (how traditional..). O, and we tipped the waitress WAY too much. Mike gave her like 10 bucks in coins on accident, I think he liked her. haha
Then Tyler and I went to the b-ball gme at Southridge. We friggen won this time by 2points. The Southridge team is funny, they are all rich, white kids. Then Pasco is all diffrent races. Multi-racial power for the win!
After that we kind of invited ourselves over to Kelsie Carvers house...(woops). It was really fun. We watched Live Free or Die Hard. The one I saw in downtown Chicago this summer by the way. Chillaxed there, talked, danced, ate etc. Alles klar.
Have a nice sunday. The Pasco stake is getting split today. I think I will still be in sixth ward though. We will see... Alright.
Danke Gleichfalls!

Musik!
Music is awesome! Cant go a day without listening to it. My newest "like" is Rufus Wainwright. Yeah yeah im a late bloomer. (I like music thats been out for awhile instead of the top 100 songs). Anyways, Rufus might be a homo but his songs are really good. I like Grey Gardens, California, and Cigarettes and Choclate Milk.
Switchfoot is still up there aswell and the German rap group "Die Fantastischen Vier".
Of course I love a million other bands but these are my top 3 right now.
Heres the link to one of his songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCel8QqcoXU
Other crap.
Basketball is going pretty good, the coaches are starting to like me more. We have a game tomorrow against Eastmont. Then Varsity plays at 7.30. Thats gonna be fun to watch.
Its been snowing here alot lately,
but it always melts away before the morning when it should stay and make people crash into other cars, buses tip over, cop cars explode into flames, and cancel school....just..kidding.
Ok thats about all.
Martin, Jarred, and Tyler are here to go hot tubbing.
adios! tschuss

Billy Joel CONCERT!
o yeah and that holiday they call thanksgiving??? ;)
First off,
We went to McCall, Idaho for thanksgiving. That was fun, went to Burgdorf and chillaxed in the hot springs. Had a good meal and then the next morning headed off to Boise. Loaded up some furniture and stuff for mom and then we got the mini ready for the drive home to Pasco,(had to add oil and brake fluid). I drove that mini 5 hours through the cold snowy mountains of Oregon, every minute thinking the car would explode into flames and send me tumbling out on the cold asphalt. But it never happened and I got home just fine....
Then right as im getting off the freeway to head towards the "mall". (Tyler Nelson got a job at Zumiez and I wanted to see him action..haha). I was pulled over for speeding on that highway parallel with the river. Yeah I got a ticket for $116. Not too bad, and hopefully I can get it reduced. Now I defiantly need a job. Thing is though the Mini's speedometer doesnt work. fag....
Alright "alles klar" though.
Saturday morning Andrew Clark, Martin Zavala and ma and pa and I drove up to Portland for the Billy Joel concert at the Rose Garden.
We did some shopping there, (The Buffalo Exchange). That store is schweet, everything in it is basically my kind of style.
The concert was AWESOME. There were around 20,000 people there. We sat on the 13th row on the floor. He opened up with Angry Young Man, one of my favorite songs. 2 and a half hours later he finaled with Piano Man. The crowd sang a part of it at one point..tears....it was cool. He's really funny too, he was cracking jokes up there in between the songs. Again it was awesome!
Heres some pics of the trip.
Yeah it was a thumbs up.
Lights were amazing!
Center shot.
Crowd of 20,000 in the Rose Garden.
Video of the song, "Angry Young Man" if you wondered which one that was.

Was Geht?
Yeah thats right, whats up?
This week has been going by pretty good. School is easy, and fun. (should it be?) I'm really starting to enjoy my Physiology and Anatomy class at PHS. We learn about the body and the functions of it, it's my only "smart" class because the people in that class want to pursue a career with science take it, thus not alot of the kids that just go to school "to go" are in it. I on the other hand am not pursuing a career in that field but thought it would be interesting to join the class.
Basketball is going good. I am starting to actually have fun in it. Becoming a swinger is going to be tough though, but it's all good. Life is more than sports full of retarded people.
But still...
I think im going to play football next year. I know all the coaches and they all want me to play and so I think I have a good chance of doing some good. And there is this one jerk kid that plays that would make my whole football career worth while if I got to knock him down in practice or something so im really looking into it. haha. But seriously...
No ski-club for me, cant join because im playing basketball. But I am still going to go on the weekends when I dont have a game or practice.
For thanksgiving were all going up to good ole' Idaho. That should be fun.... Coming back on Saturday.
What else,
Got 2 ironmans in weight training today. (an ironman is an extra point you get for going beyond the expectancy for the workout). We had to run floor laps for 10 minutes and Mr.Bondnar said this kid named Corey Kolasch ran 21 under 10 minutes. And so if you got that much he would give you 2 ironmans. So I ran 22.. muhahahahaha.
Other news; McKenzie and I are planning on doing battle of bands. Were gonna play some funny songs and then some good acoustic stuff. We need a few more people to join though to really do well. Because with 2 people you are very limited on what you can do.
Ok, Enough bout me, I'll leave you with this funny German National Pride video.
Even if you dont know German just watch it. They are talking about how good Germany is and what they have. (Whit get Justin to watch it, he'll crack up) (english translation below)
K heres the lyrics.
German, German, German...
Of course a German invented "Wetten, dass"*
Many thanks for the enjoyable hours
We're the friendliest customers in this world
We're modest - we have money
The very best in any sport
The taxes here set a world record
Visit Germany and stay here
It's this kind of visitor we wait for
Anyone who likes it can live here
We're the friendliest people in this world
German, German...
Just one little thing is out of whack
And that is, Schumacher** doesn't drive a Mercedes
Refrain:
All that is Germany - all that is us
You won't find that anywhere else - only here only here
All that is Germany - all that is us
We live and die here
German, German...
Many people are arrogant about Germany
And some think it's cool to be an a--hole
There are some who like to complain about Kanaken [foreigners]
And travel to Thailand every year to f---
We love our cars more than our women
Because we can trust German cars
God kissed the earth just once
Right on the spot where Germany is now
We're the best everywhere - naturally also in bed
And we're especially nice to dogs and cats
All that is Germany...
We're really good at busting someone in the chops
We can also be relied on for starting fires
We like order and cleanliness
We're always ready for a war
Friendly greetings to the world, understand
We can be proud of Germany... SWINE!
Swine, swine...
All that is Germany...

I dont go to practices, I survive them
So I am on the JV PHS basketball team. (yeah, so what, SO WHAT!, theres plenty of time to move up to swinger). Anyways...
I had to wake up at 6 this morning to go to practice at Pasco High at 7.00am. The practice lasted for 3 hours and it went well. We didnt even run that much so it was nice on my ankles, and feet. I am getting better and starting to get with the flow of things.
You have to concentrate 100% the whole time your there or else you'll let your team down, thus looking like an idiot infront of everyone, thus running lines. It's a simple procedure.
I hope basketball doesn't infringe too much on the snowboarding season. Because snowboarding is like mmmm..mmmm. so that would'nt be good if I had to stay and play while the rest of my friends are up on the mountain. (but i committed myself to this so...we will see)
Heres some wierd, but funny pics I took in my practice jersey.
