Hey folks! R.G. here! not a lot has been goin on since the wind down of the contest. I've been just layin round the house really, not much to do. But this Saturday I will hopefully be goin over to a friend's house, so there's some possible fun. But the highlight of this month is fast approaching. SHAKESPEAR CAMP! Two full weeks of pure drama await me, starting monday. But it actually turns out that the ninth graders, me included, have will be doing the middle school play, midsummer's night dream, or something like that. At the same time the elementary kiddos will be doin a musical (this has nothing to do with the camp) and Since I am a trumpet player, my services are required for the musical part! This will interfere with my camping of course, but I'm trusting in God that this is all part of his plan.

Well that's all. Just another update on my boring life. Hope you guys are havin a Rockin Talkin smashingly fun summer!

Over and out,

-R.G.

Guys check out this amazing incident that happened to me! I'm too lazy to write it again so head over to my blog, its in the newest post!!

Hey folks! Happy Independence day! Two-hundred and forty-three years ago, 13 small colonies became one nation. A war for Independence in sued, and the world's largest super power, Great Britain, was defeated by the small continental army. Unlike most blog posts on important days, this one is goin to be short N sweet. No long oratories on great men, or perilous adventures. I just want to leave you with one thought today: The day the colonies gained a country, a Civilization lost its Nation. What is this Civilization? Native America. Imagine this, One day a group of strangers show up on your shores. You welcome them to your land and help them get established. Soon, more and more of these men are settling in the land. After a while they declare Independence from wherever they came from, and say that your home is THEIR country! The nerve! Next more strangers appear, and start shooting people! Then before you can say "Chickasaw" everybody is having a war over YOUR land! Is it a mouse between two cats to be fought over? Anyways, time goes on and the original settlers win. They call themselves "Americans", but they come from over the sea! After a time has passed, the begin pushing west, Shoving you off your land and spreading wild stories about savages scalping people, when all you
did was try to defend Your land! Pretty soon your people are disappearing, being moved to reservations, then moved again when something valuable is discovered there.

Of course you all know the rest of the story, manifest destiny, blah blah blah. But this fourth of July, when you think about the people who gained Independence, remember the ones who lost their liberty.



As always,
