So a few days ago I was hanging out with my friend Mason and we were talking about moving into school early. In that moment I thought, wouldn't it be fun to go to Disneyland to watch the fireworks that night? So I sent a text to my friend Amy and she said it would want to, so I semi announced it on facebook, and my friend Daniel said I should make a mystery countdown in my status for it. Basically it turned into a bigger thing than what it really was. So it became a mystery to all my friends but three of them.
Last night roles around, my friend and I are excited to go, and we decide to stop at In n Out to get some food along the way. It took way too long to get a burger and fries so we ended up being late to the fireworks, which bummed us out because that was our whole reason of going. So we head to Indiana Jones but the line was HUGE, so we decided to go to Pirates of the Caribbean instead. On our way there, we see a bunch of people surrounded around Rivers of America, so we asked a staff member and they said that Fantasmic was going to be playing.
The last time Amy and I were at Disneyland, in June, we were told that Fantasmic would not be playing anymore, so we were really excited that it was going to play. Had we gone on Indiana Jones we never would have known about Fantasmic.
I think it's funny that we were so bummed and dissapointed about missing the fireworks, yet there was something even bigger that was in store for us. It's funny how sometimes us Christians doubt God and that He cares about us and our problems, and we forget about him when we're surrounded in our own dissapointement. Amy said last night "When dissapointing things happen, it's because there's a bigger and better picture that we don't see yet."
Only the best mysteries are so good that even the people who created it are suprised by the ending. The greatest mysteries are the ones that God plans. When we think things are ruined because they didn't go as planned, it's always because there's a bigger picture that's yet to be seen. Secret Mystery Night= Success.

One Week to Go
Well I'm pretty excited today because I'm moving back to APU tomorrow, and it's only a week until I turn 21! Craziness. Not like I'll be drinking or anything. Just crazy. This year has gone by really fast.
Tomorrow I'm going to clean up my apartment. My roommate has already been moving his stuff in, so I hope it's managable to clean. I'm OCD haha.
Tomorrow night I'm going with my friend Amy to watch the fireworks at Disneyland, and possibly ride a few rides, then I gotta be up at 9 to go to a work meeting. Oh joy. 9AM should be banned!! Ah well. My parents are coming to help me move the rest of my stuff in, then Saturday I'll be celebrating my birthday with my friends, which I'm super excited about!
This is going to be a great year, I know it!

Happy Summer Wedding
Well this weekend has been a little more eventful than other weekends. Yesterday I went up to Lake Arrowhead for the bachelor party for my friend Josh. We went to his, now wife's, parent's wine shop to hang out. I spent the night with my friend AJ, mostly because 1 I don't drink, 2 I don't smoke, and 3 he signed a contract with our school not to intake alcohol because he's going to be an RA.
It was a really great time hanging out with him. Last semester our relationship was a little rocky, but I think the summer has really helped both of us in healing from things we've said to each other, and to grow up and mature enough where we're on a level that we can be close again.
All night I couldn't sleep though, because I have a hard time in new places, but it was OK because I need to be exhausted today so that I can get on a normal sleep schedule.
This morning we woke up around 9 and headed to the church to get dressed and take pictures and stuff. Overall the wedding was great, and so much fun! The colors were mermaid colors, but they were a great neutral color for both the groomsmen and the bridesmaids.
Hopefully I'll be getting the wedding pictures soon. It was so much fun.
That's it for today.

Well Wasn't Today Fun
So I was pretty much by myself all day today, so I just hung out.
I watched the Japanese version of Cinderella the Musical, not sure if there's an English one, but it was so good. It had subtitles, but I was able to understand quite a bit without them. I thought the musical really captured a different aspect of Cinderella than the Disney version. Not to say that the Disney version isn't good, but this one was just great. It was like the old Shakespeare plays where it was cast with all men, this one was all female. I really enjoyed it.
After that I watched CSI until my parents came back from some errands and we went to a pizza place called AJ Barelies (sp). It was decent, Dominoes definitely is my favorite pizza. I liked the crust at this place, the cheese was super fresh, however the sauce wasn't very original and the toppings could stand to cook a bit more. Still good though. I probably will never go back, but it was good. Kinda forgetable.
When we got back home, I was super excited for my family to watch one of my favorite shows called Dollhouse. I watched it when I was away for my Junior year at college and loved it, and I was really excited for my family to see it. Basically my mom fast forwarded through a crap load of the show because she said it was too sexual. We even missed all of the third episode of the season because it's about a dancer. Woooa BFD!!! I swear, I'm the odd ball in my family. No one appreciates what I like. I was all excited to watch this show again, my parents hate it. No bother watching the fourth episode, even though it's playing right now. She pretty much ruined the whole thing for me. When I get back to school I'll just watch it again with my roommate, without the immaturity of fast forwarding. I get being offended, but seriously! It's not like they're naked, and the sexual parts last for five seconds at max. I can't wait to be out on my own again. You'd never know I'm 20 by the way my parents treat me.

Kyou Wa...
Today was pretty uneventful. I found out the new PV name for Morning Musume's upcoming single, sounds like it has potential. It's about sushi. haha.
My hat that I ordered came in. I have too small a head for regular hats, so I had to special order it :)P What do you think? Does it work for me?
Also, I went with my parents to Men's Warehouse to pick up my tux for a friend's wedding this Saturday. The colors are mermaid colored, apparently those are retro 80's colors according to my parents. I think it looks good. I'm excited for the wedding, should be good time.

Harsh Reality
We all have our hurts and pains and struggles. It’s what makes us human. More than that, it ties us all together. It’s one of the many things that we all have in common. I’m not sure anyone would be willing to disagree.
I’ve had a really hard week, and I’ve been struggling hard. I’ve realized, yet again, that I have no power over my emotions, and that scares me more than anything. I’m the kind of person that likes to be in control, and when I’m not, I feel helpless. I go through these phases, always forgetting the pain from before. I start to doubt myself and lose my self worth, and slowly I bring myself to a dark place that I don’t like to be at. For so many years, that dark spot was my comfort zone, even though it hurt. I guess that dark pain is in some strange way a safe zone. I hate being in that spot, but I can’t help but revert to it. I lose sight of who I am, and what I want, and forget that the life I used to have is no longer the one that I want for myself.
This week was just a harsh reality that I have no control over my life, and any attempt I make at gripping too hard is just going to end badly. I know I’ll come out of this eventually, but the light just seems to be too far from me right now.
If anyone’s actually reading this, I’d love some encouragement.
Bye for now.

First One
Hey everyone, my name is Jeremy, I have a Very original blog title if you can't already tell.
This is not my first blog, I have another one that is in the process of being completed about Avatar the Last Airbender. If you're a fan of the series, here's the link, I'll keep working on it.
http://theboomeraangsquad.blogspot.com/
I got the name from an episode called The Drill. You probably don't care about that though.
So obviously, I'm into Avatar, I like jpop, writing, working on movies. I've made several with my friends using The Movies Stunts and Effects computer game. The animation is kinda like the Sims, but not really at the same time. It's cool, I really like it.
So I'm not really sure what you're supposed to do on a blog, so I'll just write how my day was and anything interesting that's going on. I'm 20 years old, almost 21, will be come the 1st of September, can't wait!
My family has been in the process of moving for this last week because we needed to move closer to my dad's work, so we haven't had internet at all, which was kinda killer. I got on, made my rounds along all the sites I go on, youtube, facebook, and more recently a forum for my favorite Japanese girl group Morning Musume.
It's finally starting to settle in, but it still feels weird. I miss out on internet for five days and I log on to find out that three members from this group are going to graduate. If you've never heard of Morning Musume, it's a girls group in which it's members are constantly moving being changed. It began back in 1998 with five girls, added 3 and slowly over the years has added and graduated girls. Never have they graduated three all at the same time! What's the worst part about it is that two of the girls are leaving involuntarily, and they've hardly ever gotten lines in songs. One of the girls that's graduating is leaving because she has a bad skin condition that she needs to recover from, and she has a beautiful voice, so it makes me sad that she's leaving. The other two I've never really cared for, but one of them was really starting to blossom, so it's sucky. Such is life though. They'll be down to five members, and it's been announced that there will be more girls auditioning to enter, so hopefully they can sing well because I have a feeling two other members are going to be leaving soon.
This is one of the girls leaving (Kamei Eri)

And these are the other two (Junjun and Linlin)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcJvtrZjcAI
I was just starting to like Linlin, it's sad to say goodbye. Their last concert is gonna be amazing!
A little red bug just crawled across my screen... I have no idea what it was.
Currently I'm watching Food Network, Alton Brown is on. I'm hoping to learn some new creations by the time I have to go back to college. So far, I haven't picked up much food from anyone.
Oh! Anyone watch Food Network Star? I was so pissed this last week when Brad had to go home! He was definitely the best on there next to Arti. I'm glad Aria went home this week though, she was really starting to turn mean. I hope to God that Arti wins the whole thing. I like Tom's personality, but I couldn't take him seriously as a culinary authority, and Herb. Pff! Come on dude, you need to get over yourself. I'd never in a million years watch him. They should have sent him home instead of Brad. I think I'll be mad at that forever. I really wanted Debbie to win last season, instead of that IDIOT Melissa, and two seasons ago I wanted Kelsy to win, I'm glad she got her own show anyways. It's definitely Bobby Flay's fault. When he likes someone, he pushes them to the end, even if they suck more than anyone else. I have a feeling Arti won't win, because Bobby likes Herb too much. Food Network has NO ONE that makes good Indian food, and Arti makes it easily accessible. There are already enough people on Food Network to make Mexican and Spanish food like Herb, kick him off and give Arti a show, she's made better food than Herb! If you can't tell, I'm very passionate about my TV shows.
I think that's enough ranting for one night. Talk to you later.
