but if i’m a fool
i’m a fool for You.
and if i’m alive
i’m living just for You.
if i sing a song
then i’ll sing it for You.

hey guys…you can all help me out a ton if you want.. for my ap portfolio class, we’re focusing on things for our portfolio concentrations and part of it is finding out who we are when viewed by other people.. and so i’m supposed to ask my friends.  so if you haven’t already..or even if you have.. could you just write out like my personality traits..what makes me uncomfortable, what makes me laugh, what makes me mad, what makes me excited, what i act like, what i look like, etc.  wow if you do i’ll love you forever.  if you don’t wanna post it on here, just IM it to me (bschmidt777).  aright thanks.


also…tonight my youth group has 40 kids going to judgement house..and theres a lot of them that aren’t saved..and it would be pretty amazing to see some new Christians after tonight’s done.  so just pray for them tonight if you could.  thanks again.


->hi, my name is brandon and it’s really nice outside.
listening to: switchfoot

Jesus, I love You.  thank You.


youth was grood tonight…i felt kinda thrown together with the music and the volumes got really messed up..but i think it was fine. hanannaanahah visited too.  and we played the “honey i love you game” and i didn’t laugh (if you know me..you know that just doesn’t come easily..) ..and it was good seeing my youth group friends.  for some reason i missed ’em this week.  afterwards i went to taco bell with jaydee and hannah and sarah d (who got lost or something, haha) and saw a big whopping amount of people there.  so yay..it was good seeing everyone there too.  this post had no relevance to anything, but i felt like writing.  everybody go to dustin’s xanga and look at america’s next supermodel in the background…but be careful..he/she might come after you.


->hi, my name is brandon and my dog just peed. beside me.

hi.. you should all go to church tonight.  for the right reasons.  and go expecting to get something out of it.  and then get something out of it.  and then take it back with you. 


okay?

do you guys like the new look..?


whoa i haven’t written in a while..sorry.  um…i’ll try to recap but i don’t know if my mind can remember it all.  friday i hung out with jaydee and hannananahah and kelley and nate and sara s and k.tea…it was fun…we played supermarket sweep.  the girls cheated.  and i got annoyed by a monstrous group of jackson kids at taco bell.  it was awkward..nobody acknowledged me.  even though i thought i was friends with some of ’em.  i guess i could’ve talked to them too though.  maybe told them to not go get wasted after they finished their tacoes. high school is dumb.  saturday i was at church all morning setting up for the fall fest.  then the zac attack came over and we watched tv for a couple hours.. then i went back for the fall fest, and painted faces for little kids..haha this one kid wanted spiderman..so i tried..and it looked like strongbad.  haha poor kid..  sunday i got to lead the whole service’s music for the first time since i got put into the worship leader rotation, so that was fun.  and yeah.  it was a grood weekend.  the rest of sunday and monday consisted of homework.  that’s about it.  i’m trying to keep this short.
