Youthful Bliss II

I went to DQ the other day. It was, like, in the middle of the day. And I kept getting weird vibes from people, like they were suspicious of me.

I thought and I thought.

I mean, on a good day, I look Arab. Maybe my outfit, I was wearing bibs with a hat, made them think I was part of the mafia--you know the 1/16 Italian sometimes comes out.

But then I realized, they think I'm playing hookie! School is in session, and I look like I should be there!!! HA HA HA!!!!

Silly high schoolers.

So my official day of departure should be next tuesday. I'm driving all the way to Montana!!! YEEHAW! Actually, Hamilton is quite populus, and I think I'll get the mix of the small yet big town feel. BUt just to make sure, I'm bringing the overalls, and the straw hat....Maybe Nansu will let me bring a kitten. Imran says there are grizzlie bears. BRING IT ON ADVENTURE! Me and my kitten will survive!!

Here is something I'd like to leave you with. My next post will most likely be from Montana:

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

6 The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger forever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

17 But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;

18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

19 The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

20 Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

22 Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

A Pslam of David (103, King James)
