Do you hear me? Do you care?

Sudoku the new wave hitting the nation. Well this week my family has finally given in. My mom did it the whole way home from LA. I guess that tells you how much she like it. My dad loves it too. Drew i think he just did it to pass time. I enjoy for maybe half way through one, then just do it to pass time. But now I'm home I don't think I'll be doing it anymore.

Yes Magic Mountain was a lot of fun. But I didn't get to go on as many rides as I wanted to. One was closed, and my group was all too tired to stay longer. But I got a shirt from it, so I'm happpy ^_^ I'm wishing I took more pictures, but I'm happy with the ones I took.
Yes I know, very orginial
Ignore the other people in this pic, just look at the dashing young man in blue, and that other kid in orange. And if you're wondering what's on my shirt, it's a simple math equation. Mario+shroom=Bigger Mario. I've been told that it's cool.


I figured we've done a foot pic before, so this was opproiate. Once my mom's wallpaper on her cellphone was my foot, now it's my eye, so I can keep an eye on her.

Yeah so I rode Ninja, Batman, Goliath, Jetstream, Scream!, was going to do X but it was closed. But overall it was lots of fun.

Of course when I went to the temple, I forgot to bring my camera. And all the other places I went, so at least I got a few pictures. Well I got to see the neww Joseph Smith movie, it was really good. I got to Knott's Berry Farm. We went at 8:00pm on a Saturday, it wasn't the best idea. It was as if it was during the day. So we got on 3 rides, but only the best ones. So it's all good.

Well it's just good to be home now. Even though it's harder to sleep in this thinner air. The wonderful weather gone. The beach thousands of miles away, instead of ten minutes. And all those other good things about Southern Cal that we all love and enjoy.

See you next time on Jake's World......well it's not really my world, unless you accept my reality as your own, then it would be, and I would be in far better condition than I am now, and you would talk to me more, and you wouldn't be reading this, you would be calling me, or at least leaving a comment so I know I'm being heard, cause people like it when you do that, cause this is a very run-on sentence, unless you think my puncuation is correct, then you're way off, just practicing writing in BoM style, you know with no puncuation at all, except the period at the very end, and how they puncuated as they published it, not puncuation on the manuscript, so I think that would be a little hard to do, well this is really good bye now, I'm not just saying it this time, you know i wasn't quite accurate with that BoM thing back there a few commas ago, I just feel like I lied to you, well I've warned you about it now I don't feel so bad, well good night, morning, or afternoon, whatever the case may be, and see you next time.

Buca di beepo

Well after a long trip to Cali, we relaxed then went to dinner at Buca di beepo. My Grandparents, my fam, my aunt Linda, and my cousin Madison.

Here's my cute little grandma.


My bro and dad.

My mom and dad.
Some left over from the tons of food we got. Let's see we got 5 appitzers. I don't mean the little one, they're like a meal by themselves. Then we got 5 entrees, I mean it was a ton of food.
These are only the left overs.

Here's my cous, she's autistic. My aunt Linda works at Merill Lynch, she's really smart.

And my cute grandparents.

Well that's only the first day of my wonderful trip, well see you tomorrow.

Stormy Weather

Imagine a nice sunny day. The sky is a grogeous blue. The sun beaming down and your tanning skin. A nice breeze blows by. Can it get any better? You bet, that's way too boring. You need a nice lightning storm. Some hail would be nice too. Even some big gusts of wind. Now that's exciting. It's fun weather to watch, and to be in usually. I still like to walk home in the rain. It's just so much fun, and feels so good. Some people would say, then take a shower. Pssshhh that's not nearly as good. Being out in a rain storm is so much more enjoyable. Just a little scary when you hear some really close lightning. Cause you might die like my ancestor Benjamin Franklin Stewart. He was struck by lightning while in his carriage, outside his house. The town Benjamin, Utah is named after him. That's my claim to fame.

Have you imagined yourself flying around like in the movies where the wind is so strong it picks you up. You're holding onto lamp posts and other things to keep from flying into space? I have I think it sounds fun. But it sounds a little dangerous, so I'll save that for how I'll die. Have you noticed that even with the lights rain under the right roofing it sounds like it's pouring? Yeah it makes it seem really dreary. Not a good thing for you when camping. Except it makes you really happen when it stops. But you do tend to get giant pills of mud on your shoes when that happens. But who cares right? It stopped raining. Lost yet? Welcome to my life.

A good snowstorm is fun as well. Like the one day I walked home from the testing center in shorts and sandals. In my denfence it wasn't when I went in. And as I walked out I show a reporter and her cameraman. I was so tempted to walk behind her but I figured, that it would take to long. But I got a few wierd looks from people on my way back to the dorms, the 3 other crazy people out in the storm. I'm known as a polar bear to most people. Mostly cause I enter places all white from the snow. Yeah I usually have steam coming off my head when I come in when it's cold outside. Doesn't happen much now, but it happened all the time when I was younger.

I can't say I've had any close experience with lightning, but people I know have some pretty close encounters. My uncle was backpacking in Mammoth and he was in a big meadow with one tree in it, and then it started to rain and thunder, so he quickly got out of there. I think that would be pretty scary. Especially when it's the 3rd day of your 5 day trip. Remember being as a child that when you heard thunder you had take into account your shoe size for how far away it is. Now that seems so dumb. Your feet have nothing to do with your hearing. I mean come on. It's more likely your ring size is more likely to effect it.

No hurricanes or tornadoes under my belt either. I mean I live in utah, our tornadoes are practically none existent. I have had plenty of earthquakes, but I don't think that involves the weather.

Jake wins.

Cousins, cute little ones

Well my aunt , uncle, and cousins came over this weekend. My uncle Kevin, a profeesor at Gonzaga, Aunt Chirstine, Ian , and Miles, they're 5. They came all the way from Spokane Washington. They got here around 11:30 pm, having left around 9. So they had a long trip and went to bed. The next day the twins woke up and played so me Super Smash Bros. with us.Drew, Miles and Ian. So next we went up the road from us to go up Dry Canyon. It was a good hike.
Family Photo
View of Mt. Timpanogos Temple
View of my house, the brown one.
And a darling picture of my Cousins.

While on the trip, we saw a Diamondback, a rattlesnake. We also saw a gardener. We saw plenty of flies and bees. It was a really fun thing to do. My arms still hurt from carrying Miles a far way, cause he was hungry, and really didn't want to walk. But eventually he wanted to walk cause his brother was. Well after that we went and had Tommy's Burger. Where they have Vienna Dogs, from Chicago. Which reminded me of Owen. But it was really good, and I had Cherry Coke which reminded me of James. Whom I get to see in like 2 weeks. Then we went home and played some Mario Kart. Later we went and had some La Careta. Well that's about it we did with them. So that's been my yesterday.
