Check it out

Hey, I posted a new blog that has to do with my trip. lol. I know haven't been posting on here much, lots of prep work to do for my trip. here is the post that will make up for my lost post time.

My political view for this election

Ok, while its not my first politic post ever, I believe its my first on on this blog. I hate politics with a passion, a deep passion, but because the way America is today, I have decided to get involved this year. Now, obviously my opinion and every other 17 or younger person in this worlds opinion in politics doesn't matter, cause apparently we are nothing to the government, and have no voice...even though the constitution says we do (on a side note, I honestly thing the constitution is more and more becoming just a piece of old paper....cause it seems nothing about the original writing of it is in effect). Anyways. For the past 219 years, the United States has been ran by a president. Basically, some guy who thinks he can do this country best. 43 people have been in the white house attempting to do this country good, and look where we are today. Heading back to the great depression all over again. People are becoming unemployed, business are closing, the housing market is turning to heck, and gas prices are reaching all time highs. Want to know why. because for the past 219 years, some 43 old guys thought they could make this country be the best. But, all they have accomplished is making us the most dependent country on other countries to provide us with what we need to live. Most the guns that our own military uses are made in a different country. All of our gas comes from other countries. Tell me if this makes sense, we hate iran supposedly, we hate Iraq, but we pay them to give us gas. Where does the common logic in this begin? My point I am trying to make is, we do not need another old guy going into office. The old generation has had the chance, and apparently failed. I am sick of suffering for all of the adult leaders mistakes. Even though right now I am all for Obama, I don't care who makes it into office, they better get it right this time. There is absolutely no room to be messing up this time around. The next president needs to fix this war issue, fix this stupid gas problem, stop sending jobs to 3 world countries that I have never even heard of until now, and for the love of god, please do something for the teens. Have you noticed presidents never say anything about doing anything for kids. All they say every election time is they are gonna fix the school system (which never happens because as soon as they touch something, they mess it up, plus, what are you gonna do, put 10 more computers in the school and add a new gym, who cares? what good does that do me? I want a teacher who cares, and actually can do their job). The presidents never make promises for kids because who cares about us? We don't get to vote, we get no say in our president, even when we are MAJORLY effected by it as much as an adult is. Have you noticed that a teenager who knows more about computers cant get a job, but a adult who knows how to peck, and doesn't know what Microsoft office is can. Heck, the new generation knows more about the new technology then most the people who designed it. Who do you think comes up with all these hacks? Pshhh, not some 50 year old dude, a kid who cant get a job and gets ticked at the company that wouldn't hire him. Adults are always saying treasure being a kid, cause being an adult is no fun. Your right, I enjoy sitting at home not being able to do anything with out an adults permission, or being against the law because of my age. I enjoy not being able to do anything with out having to tell someone I am doing it, I enjoy having to go to school all the time and listen to a teacher complain about her weekend instead of teaching me something. I enjoy going to classes that have no relevancy to my career and future what so ever. You think I care about the other 42 presidents of America that messed up as badly as the one we have now? Heck no. I don't care that if I travel up 2,000 miles in the air, I will die....I don't even who what I would be doing that high up, I hate heights, and I don't plan on working for NASA. I don't care that if I mix these two elements, I create a nuclear bomb. Isn't that stuff you DON'T want people to know? Math, important, English, important, Spanish, completely unimportant unless you plan on moving to Mexico or Spain. In regards to the Spanish people in the USA, that is all fair and cool. You deserve to be here, but learn our language. USA adopted the english language, and that is that. If your gonna live here, learn it. I don't plan on spending 1 hour in a class room learning spanish for 3 years. Not my idea of a good education. I need to be learning how to edit a video, or create HTML. Not about some people who decided to move to the USA and not learn our language (please note I am not saying I hate spanish people or their language, I have many spanish friends, I just don't feel its fair to HAVE to learn their language when I live in the USA where the language is English) Now that I have gone off topic, let me jump back on and close this up. The next president needs to think about all ages. Not just the people who can vote. If thats all the candidate is worried about, I say the don't deserve office. In case no one noticed, a 15 year old is an American citizen to, a 1 year old is an American citizen to, and our voices should be just as loud as everyone elses.

P.S. I realize I will probably get a lot kind words from the people that read this, but so you know in advance, say what you want, I am sticking with what I think. Even when I become 40 years old, I will always support in the youth of America getting a say in what goes on. We are humans, we are citizens, and we have just as much of a right as a 18 year old. Also, in case you haven't noticed, I am a real stick it to the man kind of guy. I don't like the higher authorities because they seem to do a terrible job at their jobs. So, to those of you who "can" vote, please make the right decision this year. I am sick of paying for your mistakes.

..its me, no?

So I could easily go off and say how I feel on this blog, but if I did that, I would be blaming others for things they don't deserve to be blamed for...or at least that is how I am going to put it. I feel it is me right now, maybe someone else will disagree. I can't say to much...but I will say some.

I think I am anti social...not that wrong. hmmm.... I think I am anti relationship (the whole bf gf thing). Is it the commitment issue? maybe. I haven't figured it out yet. All I know is that I can't seem to keep a relationship no matter how much I "love them. (love is in quotations because can you honestly be in love at my age? YES! I just do it for all the gosh for saken people he think we aren't grown up enough to do anything lol) any ways. I don't blame anyone I dated for breaking up with me, or even hating me. While I may think there reasoning is a little off, I must say that they made a great move. Honestly, I don't think I am the one for someone to make a lifetime commitment to. Don't worry, I am not gonna jump off a bridge (while some may want me to) or blow my head off lol. I am going on my life as normal, and as god intended. I just felt that I should put the blame on me for once.

The flipping wonders of being me

I love being me. I get a girl friend cause they...see something in me, than a few weeks, maybe months later, they realize..well shoot, this kid just loves working and volunteering to much. Doesn't really care to much about me. Ya they don't want to admit it, and I don't blame them, but I know it. I can always tell when she called and I said I was doing something but I would call her back that even though she said she was ok with it, she wasn't really. I guess I need a warning label on me...so here it is.

WANRING: dating Simon J. Ohadi may cause you to break up with him for the following reasons: Him being busy because he loves doing church work, him doing work for Blade Tech, him doing the ever lasting god for saken no loves it really school work, or hanging out with friends. When you call him you may get a "sorry baby/honey, but I am a little busy right now, can I call you back?" If you can not deal with this, we strongly advise you not to date this man!

Now don't ever tell me I didn't warn you. I am going to go enjoy the single life...what ever there is to enjoy of it....all nothing of it. Maybe while I am at that I will try to go figure out the puzzle on crack...aka, girls!

The perfect baby!

Cool title eh? I would love to claim it as my ow...no I wouldn't, and I am about to explain why, but I got the title from a video I am watching in science class that aroused this blog. Man did it grind my gears. So hear it goes... 5, 4, 3..

So I was watching this video in science class today and it started talking about how scientists could make it to where people could have a male or female....I was like, WHAT? Now as much as I want a son when I grow up, there is no way in heck I want to alter my sperm just so I can do it. That is the craziest thing I have ever heard, and I think the scientist that thought it up needs to go hold a medal pole up in a lightening storm and try Thomas Edisons experiment out again, just in a new fashion.

Then, they started talking about sperm banks. I was like, well, how bad could this be. Ha, how sadly mistaken could I be should have been the question. Then people could go to the sperm bank, and choose how the baby would look, and basically how it would turn out. Like, IQ, whether it would be athletic or not, height, music talents or not, etc. You could basically build the perfect child, and they kept repeating that. I was like, wtf mate, shove a kangaroo up a donkey and call it a monkey, this isn't science, its Hitler all over again(i dont care if I spelled his name right or not). You should not be able to create a baby to the way that you like. God creates your baby from the genes of you, and the one that you married...if you didn't get married, sorry, adoption is an option, if one of you can't do a part in creating a baby, adoption is an option. DONT GO CREATING YOUR DANG DREAM BABY! That isn't right. You can make it male or female, black or white or Hispanic or etc., you can make it all the traits you want as long as the donor has them, heck they are creating artificial sperm in California that is called "super sperm" that you can make it to what ever the heck you want. Its like creating a character on the internet. Its just not natural, and honestly, i think against the way how god made things.

Lastly, another reason for abortion. Doctors found a way to find out if a baby would be born with a disease that would cause it to be mentally retarded before it was born. If the test comes back positive, the parents have a choice to have an abortion...in the video we watch, we see 2 or more (i was so pissed i stopped paying attention) families have there kids that weren't even born yet that could possibly not have this disease and this science could be wrong or this child could get over this deisease get out down before birth. Just another reason for abortion. Another unnatural death. Man, I swear, science has killed a few people in this area, actually a lot, mainly kids. It really makes me mad. They need to get there darn act together. I can't wait to watch the rest of this video tomorrow. Its gonna be so much fun...i think I will do as I did today and just start blocking it out.

the 3 topicer!

There are 3 topics to be discussed today. Its like a sandwich, you got a piece of bread, meat, and then another piece of bread

1. My family is not normal! I declared this a long time ago, it is official as of now. Normally people talk about...well I am assuming normal things at Easter dinner, like god and how awesome ccc madras service was and etc....NOOOO!!!! (well I bragged about my team, but...) We talked about politics. OMG! I HATE POLITICS TO DEATH AND BACK THEN TO DEATH AGAIN! We also talked about the war in and also how a war may start in Iran because some of my family is in Iran and etc. While my older brother (who doesn't live with us) and my dad and mom and aunt where talking, all I could think about was, wow, this is definitely the Ohadi family. There is no mistaking us. How on earth can this be the topic at a dinner table on Easter...oh well.

2. DANG DANG DANG DANG DANG! Was that a awesome service at madras or what? 171 people during 1st service (10:30) and 314 people in all visit madras, that is including kids. That is just awesome for our first service. Rock on ccc madras! Visit again next week, invite this week.

3. I am so sick of being doubted for my age. My company gets to stay parked in the garage until someone thinks that I am able to do something. No really, I am serious. I cant be like youtube and myspace and start up from my garage...one, they where a bit older, two, they where doing something completely different that didn't require people to think of you as an adult...which SHOULDN'T BE REQUIRED!, and 3...well idk. Man am I really fired up about it though. I got turned down by another small company that was looking for web designers. They loved our site, enjoyed taking a peek of what our designer has done on other sites, and was impressed...the asked our ages, he didn't mind my designers age as much as mine. DANG THAT FIRES ME UP!!! I think it not only fires me up because I am being held back, but because I am holding my "staff" back to. Its times like this that you really feel you cant be any lower on the flipping pole. Trust me, I am feeling low, if not as low as it goes. I swear if I had the chance, I would personally rip the persons hands off that made the law that said 14 year olds cant work. Your not helping me, your making my life miserable!

Church for the rest of us...

Today has been a great day, and full of surprises, challenges, and fun. Bill and his crew have done a great job of organizing the adult ministry and from what I have heard today everything went well. To learn more about how the adult services went, go to Bill's blog and also Jason's Blog. The children's ministry went well today to. We where able to set everything up, just not power it up. So it went well. Next week will be the real deal, we are going to run it like it was Easter though. So we got to get our game on. One of my guys sent me this text message today and it was really awesome "May God spread his gospel through us every Sunday. That is why im there! :)" That was really awesome to hear and made my day! Anyway, I really hope you guys read Bill's Blog and start coming to Madras. Check out the Site to for madras. it is awesome.

Here is a pic of the Children's Ministry's mostly set up.

Kids can learn

So I just got off the phone with my sister and we got on the subject of church. She started telling me about a story that really made me appreciate what I am going to do at Madras. She works with 1-3 year olds at her church, which is a new department for them. She has really enjoyed working with them. Anyway, here is the story

"I was getting ready to go to church and I turned to Olivia (my sisters daughter) and said, we are gonna go to church and learn about the fish and birds, then Olivia chimed in, and Jesus!"

Now to me, that is just an awesome story. She is only 21 months old and already is getting so much out of church. My sister told me this

"you know how in a class there are kids who want to learn, then kids who don't really care, then there are kids who just don't want to learn? Well that is how it is here, but most of them just want to learn about God, and they are so young"

I mean, we are talking about 1-3 year olds, and they are already understanding the concept about this guy who created the earth and all that inhabit it. I think that is the coolest thing on earth. This story really hit me with a powerful rush of knowledge of what I am doing for these kids. Just clicking a button on a computer to show a kid a video or the lyrics to a song is important and helpful. It was so cool to hear this story about my niece and my sis and all that she is doing. My niece is even making friends at the church. I am so happy to hear that little kids can even get something out of this.

hands on equipment

Today I got to go and sort of get my hands on the computers we will be using for CCC Madras Children's Ministry. They got some really cool computers at a great price. Anyways, I have never been so excited about something than this, believe it or not. I don't exactly know why I am so excited about it, probably because I get to do what the church did years ago when they started. The weird thing is, CCC started in a school, and now its first multi-site is at a school. How ironic is that? So I am excited about being able to do what they did years ago, now. Anyway, 2 days to go and I am ready.

3 days

My Igoogle has been counting down 2 dates for me lately. One that has a few months left on it, and the other with a few days. The few months one is my day that I get my permit, hopefully, also known as my B-day. The other countdown is for CCC Madras's first preview service. It is only 3 days away, and I am so excited. Actually, it seems like everyone involved is. Bill has done a great job at describing how the volunteers are on his blog, which you should read. Bill is the campus pastor, and for those of you who don't know Bill Coffman, he has got to be one of the best, coolest, funniest (im using that a bit lightly), messiest people i know. ya that last one is really true and if you don't believe me i suggest you call CCC, ask for Bill, offer to clean his office, and once you do that once, you will see what i mean ;) No but seriously he is a great guy and has great plans for CCC Madras. With the awesome crew of volunteers behind him, I think we will be able to pull this off! I hope that you will come see the service on March 23rd, which I know is easter, but what better way to spend easter than with some people who are trying to figure out how to operate the lights, get the words on the screen, Ed to stop spitting on the camera in the front row, and the guitar to stop making that screeching sound. Sounds like a perfect day to me!! Lol, so make an effort to come, I promise we hopefully wont have those problems.

Take cover, is a storm!!!

Wow, either my dog is a chicken or she is a smart dog. She heard the thunder today and jumped up on the couch. Then when the wind started picking up and the storm got bad, she got down and went got under a table that she NEVER goes under. She was like a human in a tornado. It was kind of cool to see. I couldn't tell if the dog was being scared, or being smart. When I say smart, I mean, she was taking cover because she sensed bad weather. When the wind died down she came out. It was pretty interesting to watch. Maybe dogs are really smarter than us...in some ways.

Girls...tsk tsk tsk

Wow, i have wanted to do this blog for a while, but haven't had the right inspiration for it. Thanks to my gf and cousin, I know do! Wow, what planet did they come from, or are they from earth, and us guys are from another planet that is more normal...then again what is normal. I just looked it up on webster...ya...i wouldn't understand what half those definitions meant if my life depended on it. ANYWAY. I was talking to my girl friend today, and we where talking about the VMA's that are tomorrow (which you better show up to if you live in GA, heck if you don't live in GA, you better start booking your plain ticket, cause I better see you here (jk...sorta)) anyway, she said "I wonder if I should dress up...no one ever told me if we are. I think i will wear this, and that, and this, with these shoes, etc...etc" the whole time i was thinking....Is this really what girls think about...yep, sure is, cause i remember hearing this from about....almost every other girl i know! They care way to much about how they look, which I wont complain about, but its funny to me. (I am being careful with what i say, there are a few girls, including my girl friend, reading this) Then I talked to my cousin...THIS GOT INTERESTING. I went onto myspace, looked at friends status's and this is word for word what it said "i want school like now =)" Now i flipped about a dozen or two times, then I asked "whats up with your status?" She said "lol, ya I am one of a kind" Ya, that is using that term LIGHTLY!!! Dont know what family you hailed from, but I am sure as hell not claiming you as part of mine any more! lol. Then there is there constant random sayings. I have had millions of those, not only from my GF, but my cousin, and friends to (when i say friends, I am referring to the female ones at the moment) Its nuts. We could be talking about how the sky is blue and they will say "hey, did you know that a fish will 5 eggs every 11 to 18 days?" Its like, WTF mate. Its so random and unexpected, you dont know what to say. I swear, either the guys are from another planet, and the girls are from Earth, and us guys unfortunately crash landed here and now we are stuck with them, or the girls invaded earth millions of years ago therefor ruining MAN kind as we know it (i am using "ruining" lightly there, lol),or god has a sick sense of humor and really did make us on the same planet!

Video disaster

Ok, so I have been on youtube a lot today learning about interviews and what kind of shots people use for them. I learned a lot from it, and got a good idea of how interviews are done, and I already had a pretty good idea of how to thanks to my church and Bill Coffman. In my research I found a video every here and there someone had grabbed there video camera, and recorded the interview by taping it. It sucked so badly it wasn't even funny!! I would also run across some poorly shot interviews that needed to be burned and never shown to the public cause there camera crew must have been a bunch of 3 year olds or something, cause dang was it all over the place. Poor video bugs....thanks to Bill....i will never watch a movie or video normally again. Oh well ;)

First impression?

You know, I have had A LOT of time to think lately and something hit me as I read a myspace comment yesterday, What are first impressions based on? Is it based on the first word that you say? If my first word to you was banana, would I there on be remembered as banana to you? Is it based on my firs sentence maybe. "Hi, banana's are good" I am hear by known as the guy who thinks bananas are good (for the record, I don't like banana's as much as I am making it seem, Its just an example). Anyway. Is it maybe how you act. If i hit the person next to me when I meet you, will you think I am the most cruel person on earth, or if you have a sick sense of humor, the coolest person on earth. THEN IT HIT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DING DING DING!!!!! I GOT IT. THE ANSWER, I GOT IT. Its looks, of course. First impression's are of course almost always based on what you say. Now I am sure if you punch the guy next to you out the girl might run away, but you never know, they might have a sick sense of humor. lol. But isn't it sad that so many people base things upon how you look. TV shows, your career, sometimes your relationship. Its terrible, and sucks to be people like me! Oh well, thats the world for ya. Yay messed up systems. I wonder if we can screw it up some more. I bet if we try hard enough we can!!! I think we can, I think we can...wait i got it all wrong, I KNOW WE CAN, I KNOW WE CAN, I KNOW WE CAN. Can we do it? Yes we can!

suthern cookin

Wow, I almost forgot how good southern food was (my mom makes a home cooked meal every day, but we eat northern food cause we are northerners) until I went to golden carrol today and had some of there awesome food! I went to the salad bar to start as usual, and then to the rest. When I got to where the corn bread usually is, they put out a fresh plait, as if it was made just for me! I of course took 2!!! Cant take one, but cant take 3 cause its uneven. lol. After I filled my starving stomach with that lovely food I was ready for my movie....until I remembered till my homebound teacher had scheduled to meet with me today....so I couldn't. So I called my mom and she came and picked me up. I got home and waited....waited....waited....10 minutes after scheduled time.....15.....20.....25......30......35...40.....*door bell ring* yay, 40 minutes of my life wasted waiting, oh well, at least she is here to help me with my work now. She comes in, talks for a few minutes, explains how the homebound works, tells me she cant do anything today, and leaves......THANKS FOR MAKING ME MISS MY MOVIE, WASTE 40 MINUTES OF MY LIFE, JUST TO HEAR THE OBVIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My gosh. I am going to try again tomorrow! I want to see my horror movie lol. I want to see those darn people die through a website!!! how awesome is that dude??? DIE PEOPLE DIE....woops.....anyway. Well, that was my wonderful day. ill see you guys later

Blade Tech

Well well well, two days into launching my companies new promotion page and comments and new people are already flying in. Props to my designer for a job well done again. Me and him spent another long time on getting another portion of our site up. I put a counter on just the homepage an hour ago and it has already counted 33 views. Thats just the homepage for an hour of it's 24 hours launch. We have 2 new people working on sending me there stuff, and 2 other people pending. I am honestly impressed and god has really blessed me with a great team, a great web designer, and a lot of awesome people. I am glad I get to help promote those people who have signed up. If you haven't seen the promotions page, go look at it here. Any way, now I need to start working on the main structure of Blade Tech. The Filming, Photography, Web Designing, And gaming. I need to market, sell, etc. with those. Looks like another project lol. Thanks to those who supported the people we promote though!

return to blogging

Well i guess i got blogged out cause i stopped for a while lol, but I am back. Today I am sort of looking back at the last couple weeks and how they have been. A lot of things have happened in just a short period of time. I have met a lot of cool people on myspace such as Gavin, STB, and other people we promote. Also I found out I will be leading the Children's Ministry Tech team at the CCC Madras location, and I have been sick! Oh, and lets not forget my moms pending surgery. A lot on my plait, and a lot of school work waiting for me to. I am really excited about this new campus, and I just cant wait to help start it up. I have no idea why, but there is just some spark in me that is just jumping like crazy to help out in all and any way possible. When Jeff asked me to head the tech team for the kids, I was so excited I couldn't believe it. I was not only going to get to serve at the new church we are starting up, but I will get to serve with the original guy that I started with. So, now as I start getting ready, I am learning all the complications and decisions and steps that go into it. Wow its amazing lol, and we are lucky, we have a church already started to help start this one. Imagine starting from NOTHING all over again, which we sort of are, but we had a little help this time. Any way, than there is me being sick. Wow this has kicked my butt. Over a month of headaches and me being out of school because of it, and still no known cause. Its an on and off thing. It starts showing improvement, then goes back up. YAY HEADACHES, not. Its challenging to keep up with all that i used to do, such as church, school, and even my own work with them. I have limited my school work for sure lol, and I have started on my church work to, and i really need to on my own work, until i get better. Everyone keeps telling me to stay off the computer and not do anything blah blah blah. As long as I don't think to hard, I should be fine....teachers have a thing with making me think hard, that my be HWY IM NOT IN SCHOOL!!!!!!!! But yes, i should cool it on some of my other stuff as well, but its hard to. Any ways, than there is my moms long pending surgery. She has been waiting for months to hear back from her doctor to find out when she will have surgery on her shoulder, but no, her and her darn company's insurance keep arguing back and forth. I swear if it was me who called them...well lets say they wouldn't get off so easy. Any way, its been a fun and surprising month, but also had its bad times. I just cant wait till March 9th, which is our first preview service at Madras to try out our stuff, and than I hope to see all of you at Madras Middle School on Easter for our first service, we will have 2nd and 3rd service times of the sharpsburg times. That means Madras's first service I believe is 10:30, and 2nd is 12, but I will have to double check, so dont count on me lol. Keep checking bills blog, he will know, he is the Campus Paster.

replaced

Man, i don't know why but i feel like i am being replaced in a lot of things and by a lot of people. I am not doing as much as i use to in a lot of things, but not by choice. I know am sick, but I am still willing to put my energy towards what i like to do. I am still going to church tonight to edit. Tomorrow i get to figure out if i have a brain tumor. Man this is all just great news. Yay me. Maybe next someone will tell me I am dieing, i mean i have so much other great news!!!!

My decision

Its been about 3 years now since i made the decision to start working with computers and filming. I decided to branch off from everything else I was doing, Karate, soccer, playing out side with friends, etc. Anything that kids would normally do i stopped pretty much. Now I am thinking back and wondering if it was all worth it. What do i really have to show for what i have been doing, a few good videos... thats it. Its been fun and I have gotten to do a lot of cool things with this path, like go and take a tour of CNN that no one can pay for, how awesome is that? I mean its CNN, its one of the biggest news broadcasting stations there is. I just hope that taking this path pays off, cause so far i have only been shot down by people, and it sucks. I dont even know what i want any more lol. I just hope thing work out.
