just an update...

Hey! Yeah, sorry guys, obviously I haven’t been writing much. And it’s not because I’ve been busy. I’ve been anything but busy. That’s sad because that means I really haven’t found anything fun to do in America.  I’ve had in America and all, but I’ve had a lot of free time. I guess I should have used some of that to blog, but NO! I HAVNE”T! GOSH! I feel like every time I post something I start saying sorry to the audience, because I like haven’t written at all. I’ve spent a lot of my free time reading. That’s been enjoyable. Anyways, with all the free time I’ve been pretty bored, like when I’m not reading.

I began to miss India a lot. I know the US is a good break and all, but sometimes I don’t want a break. Right now what I really is to fall back into my normal routine in India. Wednesday night Kareoke, Saturdays are Frisbee days and some times even DDR days…and then Tuesday night of course, and then going to the mall all the time, cause I’m a mall rat. Woohoo’s, TGI Fridays, The Theatre, Coffee Bean, Youth Alive. Yeah, I miss all of that. I also miss my friends, of course, although a lot of them are also in the States. I’m not complaining. Just sayin’ I miss it a lot.

mac pictures...

I am now in Oklahoma! If you care. ha.

Yep, drove up here about 4 days ago. I drove halfway and Connor drove halfway. I tried to get cruise control to work in Connor's car, but couldn't figure it out. ahhh. oh well. anyways, something awesome arrived in the mail today that I should share with you. My Dad and I got our new camera and stand! YES! it's so cool. It's a Canon EOS T2i. It's awesome, it even has video! Oh, and the video is super nice. It's like HD. So, i read the most of the manual today to try and figure out how to operate it. So, I was experimenting with the camera and I thought, What is something good to photograph?. That's when I saw my beautiful new mac sitting right there and I was like, "yep, that's it." So, I took some pictures of my mac and I figure you guys may want to see what it looks like anyways, so yeah...check out some of the pictures below. :)

a beautiful mac...

Soooo...i've been having a great time in America.  We took a flight from London to Dallas.  It was a really long flight. Ten stinkin' hours.  So, that was quite a pain.  The ipod I had on the trip was really lame, so it ran out of battery in like 3 hours.  I was like, "Ahhhhhh!!!  What do I do now??!?!?!?"  So, I laid around and watched the tv screen.  It was sad though, because we didn't get our own personal tv sets.  Like the ones that are attached to the chair in front of you.  That was disappointing, but they showed some alright things.  There was Invictus playing, but I did not feel like watching it.  They also played this other movie that I watched and it was super LAME.  It was soooo stupid.  Hahaha.  They had the office though, so I was happy with that. :D  It was a nice flight though.  We had seat number 10, so plenty of leg room.  We got in to the airport and my Aunt picked us up.  We went to their house and saw our cousins and stuff...I was very tired though.  To keep us awake we went and ate snocones at like 10:00.  That was fun.  It's been like 2 years since I've had one of those.  Nice break.

O America, America, America...

Hi, so I haven't blogged in a while.  I guess.  I'm not sure.  Anyways, I just wanted to say that I am sorry for not keeping this blog updated.  I've just been busy...well if you call watching Lost, going to movies, and eating low budget Chinese then YES I have been busy.  Hahahahhaa.  I'm going to America VERY soon.  I leave on the 20th, so that's like what...4 days?  Something like that.  We leave early Sunday morning.  Before going to America though we are going to stop by Ireland and the UK for vacation.  I AM SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT!!!! :D  I've always wanted to go to the UK.  I can't wait!  I feel like I could have made this blog post longer, but it's summer so...umm yeah?  I bet you guys have other things to do then read this blog anyways. 

Cheers,
Claytone

High Urban Trekkers

So, I haven't been able to update this blog in a while.  I am so sorry, but that is okay, BECAUSE...TODAY!...i finished school.  And it feels so good to be done.  I feel like I could do anything I want to.  I guess that's because I can.  What a great feeling.  Hahahaha.  I haven't talked about this on my blog, but I actually have an organization.  Connor and I have been running it a while, but since he is leaving, I have taken over.

High Urban Trekkers...

Yep, that is the name of my organization.  Pretty nifty eh?  I think so.  I abbreviate it as "HUT."  HA!  I take people all over Delhi and I tell them about the history of it.  We visit certain sites and I'll show them around and tell about who ruled what and what this is...and why this is here..blah blah blah.  It's super interesting.  Many people don't know, but there are actually a lot of sites around Delhi.  Delhi is full of history.  There are many sites to see, it's INSANE.  

Many of the historic sites and monuments are tucked away in neighborhoods, so it's very hard to find them.  I actually have a website.  It's not published yet, but it will be published soon, so I'll post it on my blog later so you can check that out.  Connor and I had a website created, but I made that when I was small and childish. ;) I'm more mature now...so yes.  I recreated a website and will be publishing that soon...so look forward to that.  Thanks.

P.S.  You'll notice on my side bar thing (to the right), there is a thing that says "follow me on twitter" or something.  So, if you have twitter you should follow me.  Hahaha.

Muse - Absolution

So, like recently I got some money.  Like a lot.  So, I bought this album.  It rocks.  It's called Absolution.  It's by Muse.  Muse is a British rock band...and I muse say that they sound pretty amazing.  It's a three person band.  The band consists of Matthew Bellamy (Lead vocals, guitar, piano), Christopher Wolstenholme (Bass, backing vocals), and Dominic Howard (drums, percussion).  Christopher's last name is weird.  I wonder how you pronounce that.  Hahaha.  Anyways, they rock.  They're British, you kinda expect them to own at life, ya know?  I think I'm obsessed with British bands...it's weird.  Like the other day, I was like Coldplay is such a good band.  Then I found out they were British and was like OF COURSE THEY'RE GREAT.  Hahahaha.  I bought the album on Amazon for $6 dollars.  There are 15 songs on the album, so I gotta say that is not a bad deal.  Yeah, you can buy mp3 albums on Amazon if you didn't know.  Most times they are much cheaper there then on iTunes.  Yeah, good thing to know.  Unluckily, you can only download the music if you are in the U.S.  There is a thing though called Hotspot shield, which lets you get around that.  I'm not sure, because I don't use it.  Connor does, so that's how I get the music.  Yep...I'll give you an overview of the music.  10 is the highest rating given, 0 is the lowest.  Honestly you should probably buy the album now and stop wasting your time reading this.  I mean come on, 6 bucks that's it.  So, stop reading this right now and BUY IT.  If that does not convince you then read this rest of this blog post...When you read it '-' these things are not minus symbols...they are just....yeah.  Just good thing to keep in mind when you read the bottom.

Wow....really? HOW COULD YOU?

Today I got called Connor by my Pastor...AGAIN.  Wait.  STOP!  If you don't know what I'm talking about click here.  Yes, really...he did.  I was so happy, because he had been getting my name right for so long.  I can't believe he slipped up!  I was LIKE NOOOO!  Ahhhhh!  HOW COME?  Why is life so difficult?  Why can't people remember a simple name.  CLAYTON.  It's not that hard to remember.  I guess I'm just another person in the crowd to my pastor.  Oh well.  But, no really.  It's not that hard to remember.


CLAYTON CLAYTON CLAYTON CLAYTON CLAYTON.

See?  It's not that difficult.

So, yeah.  I can't believe it happened.  I wanted to call him Pastor Joey, but I refrained.  TAKE THAT KARL!  Hahaha.  You know I've been thinking...what if the Pastor read my blog?  What if that random kid in my last post read my blog?  What if they are reading it right NOW?  What would they think?  Would they care?  Would they confront me and be like, 'You are such a jerk.   How can you live with yourself.'  That would be scary.  Especially if the Pastor talked to me about my blog.   Hahaha.
