I just watched Up at the movie theater and I can say unhesitantly that it was the BEST animated movie I have ever watched. (And close to best on any movies I have watched, period!) I was really surprise about how moving the plot was, especially in a day and time when most movies have shallow plots filled with dirty jokes. I can absolutely fully recommend this movie to all of you. Hope you like it as much as I do!
Hey folks! I just got back from watching Night at the museum II for the second time! This time I organized a big group, of 34 somewhat people and we all went together. We were the only ones in the theatre! It was awesome, and as usual, I noticed a lot more things when i watched it again. Afterwards we went and got ice cream at Maggie Moo's, and hung around the Rio, it was a ton O fun! I am looking forward to doing somthing like this again.
Au revior,
-R.G.
P.S.- In case any of you were wondering, I sent 164 emails, had 16 chats, and made 12 phone calls to get this thing organized! ( I also hear some people may be goin on saturday to UP, sounds fun!)
Hey guys, I know I quit the blog but I decided to not quit it so live with it, here is the top ten dunks from lebron james who hopefully will win the championship this year! WOOT WOOT!
Hey folks! R.G. here! I just saw Night at the museum II: Battle for the smithsonian, and let me tell you, it was Great! I loved Akmanra's brother, Kahmanra, and I especially enjoyed The air and space musuem part. I am actually thinking about going to see it again with a group of friends.
In other news, John Hill has made the decision to leave as a blog author. Im not quite sure of all the details, but you can talk to him about it. But we may be getting a replacement author pretty soon! I've been talking to Natalie S. about joining as an author, and though its not confirmed I THINK she may be able to do some posting!
Also, I went to a special WWII Convention on Saturday, and it was amazing! People had tanks, jeeps, guns, swords, knives, helmets, bazooka's, Everything you could imagine! Most of it was for sale, And I bought a few things. My Uncle is a big WWII Collector and came all the way out from OK to go to this convention. Well afterwards we went to the APG (Aberdeen Proving grounds) Museum and saw a bunch of cool stuff. Outside they had hundreds, and i mean hundreds, of tanks lined up. I took snapped a lot of shots for you guys, and should be able to get some of 'em up soon.
Well, thats all for now folks! See ya round the Mustard tree!

So I'm still in Albion, Michigan, and there was a interesting event that happened today. Me, my cousin Charlie (20 yrs. old) and Elise my sister were just passing a frisbee around today. Charlie left about halfway through because he had to meet some more relatives, but me and Elise kept playing. So there's this really fast flowing river (About 30 ft across and 3~5 ft deep) right near , and I threw the firsbee right into it! Of course, it just HAD to be my cousins frisbee and we all paniced and went crazy trying to get it, but the river was flowing WAY too fast. Chichi (my other sister) went running to get help and Elise and I went running along the river on either side trying to find a place to get it. (yah, yah, we're prob the only people who would go this crazy over a $15 frisbee, but whateva) This gang of teenagers were shouting at us, "You can do it! Ya dude, keep it up, man!" In a not-exactly-encouraging tone, but I ignored them and kept following. Finally the current slowed, but there was a couple feet drop down to the river and I couldn't reach the frisbee. I got a stick and kept it near the side of the river, and then my dad came to the rescue. We borrowed a hoe from this random kind person and managed to fish the frisbee out. YAAAAAAAYYYYY!!! Thus concludes my random 'adventure' of the day. I'll be back tomorrow night! (After a 10 hr drive. RG, no comments plz. ;-)
Allo peoples! I am (as in RIGHT NOW THIS SECUNDO!) in Michigan after a long, tiring, cramping, tiring, annoying, tiring, boring trip that was very, very tiring. (Did I mention it was tiring?) Ya, you get the point. I am alive and well (but still tired) and am enjoying my time at my aunt's house. I'm coming back Sunday night so I won't be at church, but I should see alot of ya at various times this week. I'll try to post a update when I get back home! (And for those few faithful followers of MY blog, I'm gonna copy this and post it there, so don't freak out if this post in both...)
Hey folks! R.G. here. Its been a little while since i posted, been busy finishin up school and all. Not much has happened, 'cept i did have a concert on the 17th for band and Choir. It was a ton O fun!

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?"

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glass and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C.
The Russians used a pencil.

The doctor replies, “You only have 24 hours to live.” “That's terrible”, said the patient. “How can the news possibly be worse?” The doctor replies, “I've been trying to contact you since yesterday.” Haha, which one did ya like the most? I like the NASA one. Classic! Go running tomorrow (thursday) at 3:30 if ya can! See (hopefully) ya there! -Robomaster |
Icebergs in the Antarctic area sometimes have stripes, formed by layers of snow that react to different conditions.
Blue stripes are often created when a crevice in the ice sheet fills up with meltwater and freezes so quickly that no bubbles form.
When an iceberg falls into the sea, a layer of salty seawater can freeze to the underside. If this is rich in algae, it can form a green stripe.
Brown, black and yellow lines are caused by sediment, picked up when the ice sheet grinds downhill towards the sea.... Is this amazing??
Antarctica Frozen Wave Pixs - Nature is amazing! The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice. That's what it is like in Antarctica where it is the
coldest weather in decades. Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is already some degrees below freezing.Just look at how the wave froze in mid-air!!!

hello everyone, i am a new co-author for this blog(John).....and so i was just told to have an intro into the blog this is kind of pointless...the end!! woohoo i am now officially enshrined into the politically corrupted blog of life-n-jeans i feel so evil!
Hey folks! R.G. here! Just got back from six flags, and boy did i have a blast! I went on all the rollercoasters (cept for mind eraser, went on it last year and broke some ribs) and some water rides! A couple of friends and I went to the kiddy section as well and rode the toddle coaster, it was awesome! There was also Some raccoon that was apparently sick and wandering around.
Well I just want to say that my top 3 favs are Superman, batwing, and joker's jinx. I love batwing because its the only coaster that actually makes you feel like you were flying. Superman was awesome as well, but it gets kind of boring after the first hill.
Later on a bunch of CLC people gathered infront of one of the main buildings. Suddenly, to our surprise, Cotton eyed Joe started playing. Of course we couldnt just stand there, we had to dance! This of course atracted a crowd, and some random people tried to dance with us, while others simply pointed and took videos. It was Awesome!
Several times During the day I got seperated from my "group" and had to join another one. I had alot of fun overall and cant wait to do it again next year! I Had an AWESOME time with all you guys out there! You are awesome friends!
Rollercoastingly,
-R.G.
P.S. - HAPPY 14TH BIRTHDAY MEGHAN PERDUE!
P.P.S- We also did the macarena, the cha-cha slide, and the hokey pokey as well.
Hey folks! R.G. here. This is just a short post to let you know that IM OFF TO SIX FLAGS! I will be back later with a tone of stuff for you guys!
See round the rollercoaster,

P.S. - It is 6:00 am

-Robomaster, New (ultimate) author of Life n' Jeans.
Hey folks, this is R.G. posting for probably the last time as the head author of life N jeans. Because of recent events, Life N jeans will go through a complete makeover. Not only will the template change, but the authors as well. Some people that you all may know very well will be joining as an author. I am very excited to be expanding, but it is also a bit sad since i have been running blogs by myself for.... 8 years now? This will be the first time that I will have to share a blog. Hopefully a lot of good stuff will come out of this though! Im sure the blog will not only get appearance wise, but content wise as well. I am going to hold a poll to decide what new template to use, so the decision is going to be up to you.
Well, Its time for the news you've all been waiting for. Who the new authors are going to be. Well here is a few, more may come.
Cody B.
Robert B.
Stephen C.
John H.

Hey folks! The CLC Legacy 5K race was today! I ran it with some friends, and it was awesome! Only there was a slight problem. I had been counting on having my MP3 player for the race, but I lent it to my sis (who is down in South America right now). Most of you know that without my music, I turn into a giant snail. But I did surprisingly well, better than i thought i would have without my music. I came in somwhere around 50th place, Which is pretty good considering their were several hundred racing. Afterwards there was snacks and drinks (bananas, muffins, oranges, cookies, etc.). Somehow ( i have no clue why) I got caught in a violent water war between Two runners. For no apparent reason These two attackers dumped gallons of water on me (and my new shoes! which are asics by the way). Later there was an Alumni baseball game with hamburgers and such, but i was not able to stay for it. I am sad to say that once again I did not have my camera. If you all are wondering why i suddenly went on a picture/video strike, its because I am waiting for my sis (the other one) to get home from college so i can use her Really nice one (camera).
Well, that's all for now! See ya round Kiddos!
-R.G.
P.S. - If any of you are wondering, I will not be at the 10:31 meeting tonight because my parents are out of town and I gotta watch my bro.
Heeey Folks! The Contest results are IN! Lets skip the usual intro and get right to the point ;)
In last place, with a grand total of ONE vote...... Pop music! yay. wahoo. moving on.
In 4th place, we have soundtrack, with a gross domestic product of one entire vote! (no ties guys, sorry.) next.
in 3rd place, with a collection of two full votes..........Rock N Roll! better luck next time.
in 2nd place...wait! whats this? a TIE?!?!?!? (first place ties are aloud :P ) It seems as if a last minute vote from a certain "Michael G." has tied up Other-ish and Country! Hmm, looks like Im gonna have to cast the winning vote. Lets see, this is gonna be a hard decision.....country or Other-ish? hmmmm....... I'll get back to you on this :)
In other news, The teacher appreciation dinner is on Friday! Which is today actually since its midnight. The advanced band and I will be performing an adventure trilogy, including 3 John Williams pieces known as Star wars, Imperial march, and Indiana Jones! Prayers will be appreciated!
Also, the Legacy 5K Run/Walk race is comin up this Saturday. I am enrolled as "Lime Green", so if you see a short kid with floppy hair, thats probably me. Oh and Tomorrow is also History class for me, and i had to cram last minute for it. I set a new record for myself, 2 weeks worth of history in 45 minutes! In the past I have made 4 weeks in 2 hours, but this record is just for the 2 week.
Well, since I am running out of things to ramble on and on about, Looks like I will have to cast my vote. Drum roll please!
I, Robert Andrew Galbraith, being of sound mind ( Some people may disagree) and body do hear by cast my vote for........................................................................................................................COUNTRY MUSIC! *Crowd goes wild*. No worries though! the category of Other-ish still makes it to the semi-finals! So c'mon country guys and gals, and all you "other-ish" people, Lets start that nomination stream! Remember, 10 songs in ALL from both those Genre's. That means basically 5 from each. Leave a comment telling us the song YOU want on the blog!
Until next time,
R.G.
A.K.A - Hillbilly Bob ( can you believe it? I actually called myself BOB!)
Hey folks! Guessssssssss what!?! I have prepared a grand contest for you all! As you have probably noticed by this point I have a blog soundtrack ( This should not come as a big shock to you, unless you need to get your ears cleaned). Not wanting to have a permanent musical fixture though, I am going to Have a musical Choice contest! Yay. Wahoo. moving on.
Anyways, I am going to pick several different Genre's ( you know, Rock, punk, pop, country, etc.) of music for you all to vote on. Then you will vote on what songs you want to be on this blog FROM the top two Genres. The top 10 songs taken from BOTH Genres will be placed up for vote. Only five out of these 10 will make it to the playlist (Am i confusing you?). The voting will begin.....NOW!
Here are the Genres!
1. Rock
2. Country
3. Pop
4. Soundtrack
5. Other-ish ( For songs that you have no clue of their Genre.)
This voting will last Until May 8th! If you all could get the word out, any way you can, it would be of a great help (emails, texts, blog posts, etc.).
In other news, The youth play "Pilgrim" had its last performance on Saturday, May 3rd, 7:30 pm. I was able to attend but did not take my camera. This was the second Time i was able to see the show, and it had gotten even better! The last performance had Lots of added tid-bits and such that when put together, form enough to create almost an entire new scene! The acting was amazing, as well as the musical and dancing skills of the characters. One particular scene i enjoyed was a Scottish Folk dance, where several Lads and Lasses danced highland style to a bagpipe and fiddle. Since I had already seen the show, I seated with some friends further back. It was rather...how shall i put it....interesting ( not the show, the seats!). One of my other friends was acting as an "Usher" and stood below us (we were in the permanent bleachers, a balcony like thing). Well one of my OTHER friends who was sitting with us threw some stuff down at him, and conked him right on the head. This friend immediately looked up and thought I had done it (Me! of all people!).
Well later on, at the intermission I was having a lot of fun making friends pay up long-owed debts (since i didn't have any money for the snack bar). After that we went back to our seats and watched the rest of the show (which was amazing!). Later on I talked to the actors
(a lot of them are my friends :D ) and attempted to avoid being trampled by the mob of people trying to get their autographs. It was an eventful night!
Well, thats about all for today folks. Cya round!
Laughingly,
R.G.
P.S. - I said laughingly because at the moment I am laughing, though I have no clue why.
P.P.S- I have a special surprise for you all next week! Some Poetry may find its way onto the blog!
P.P.P.S - In case you are wondering, just vote by leaving a comment :)
