How Long?

Roses are red violets are blue,

how long will it be before I kill you?

Skin so pale and hair thats on fire,

how long will it be before you're on your funeral pyre?

Veins filled with blood so full of life,

how long will it be till it take it from a bite?

X-Mas Poem

There once was a baker on Baker Lane,
His name was Dave.
One day he decided to bake a gingerbread man,
Just to see if he can.
So he used his special dough,
and made a man with a roll.
He then put him in the oven,
and it started chugin.
When the timer went ding,
he pulled the man out with a zing.
Then the man moved all of the sudden,
and started runnin.
Then the little man pulled out his flamethrower and torched the whole house.

The End

Spanish Horrors Resolved

So earlier today I wrote about Spanish class and how I had a zero in it and a really really bad grade. Well all of that has been resolved. Apparenly mine wasn't the only one that messed up so she's allowing me to redo it and get full credit. So now that that desaster has been averted I don't have to worry as much about my grade but still have to but just not as much freaked out about it now. So yeah luckily this crisis was averted so I'm just really relieved

Spanish Horrors

So right now in Spanish my grade is failing. We just had a big test that I did really bad on but that was no surprise to me because I never do good on Spanish test. But what did surprise me was that I had a zero in the grade book. I never get zeros so I went to look and see what it was and it was an assignment from ning that I remember doing but can't find anywhere. Mrs. Garner hasn't been able to look for it anymore yet that I know of because I just asked her today so I don't know what she's going to do about it. But right now I'm just freaking out because if it stays a zero there is a really big possibility that I will fail her class. I don't know what's going to happen but I mean right now I feel like I could throw up and keep throwing up all day. I've never failed a class so even this slight chance that I could be kicked out of Honors Spanish for getting a D or even lower on my mid term is just making me really really nervous. I mean I could live with a C because it's passing but if I fail I don't know what I will do because this has never happened to me before. There was never a chance before that I might fail a class. So yeah right now I'm just really really worried and really really sick to my stomach.

A boring Thanksgiving

So over Thanksgiving break I did absolutely nothing fun or exciting. I went over to Alyssa's hose to work on our Spanish project, went over to my grandmother's house on Thanksgiving, and then went shopping on black Friday. All of this was very boring. It was nice to see my family on Thanksgiving but it wasn't anything special and black Friday wasn't to bad where we went shopping although where we went to breakfast was busy that was the only thing that really was. When I went over to Alyssa's house to work it was horrible just because we had to work on Spanish. I am horrible at Spanish so it wan't fun at all. So basically that was my Thanksgiving break. Nothing special and nothing truly bad happened.

Adventures of Finding my cat

So a while ago my cat that lives inside my house got out. We live out in the country so when out cat got out my family was freaking out because he could get lost very easily because we have woods in our backyard which is part of our property. So I had to run outside and try and catch him before he went to the woods. Well I almost had him cornered against the house when he ran off. Apparently my cat freaks out when he's outside and doesn't want anyone to come near him. So I chased after him and of course where was he heading, to the woods. i was lucky though that there was a pile of tree limbs that had fallen on the outskirts of the woods and my cat ran into that to hide. So I had to get on my hands and knees to follow him into the mass of tree limbs. These weren't ordinary small tree limbs either. They were from the trees that had been growing for a long time so they were massive. So as I was trying to capture my cat it was getting darker and darker so I was having issues seeing where I was going and what I was running into. When I finally saw where my cat was I was really annoyed. He was in a spot that I could barley get to even if I military crawled. So I then had to get on my belly and go and get him. After I was almost able to reach him he tried to run away, Again. Luckily there were no other ways out so he ran towards me and I was able to get a hold on him and bring him inside. After he was safely inside I was able to look at the damage that I had done to myself. I was covered in stick tights and many more prickly objects. Caked in mud and who knows what else. I also had a spider web in my hair. So it was safe to assume that the spider was somewhere on me. So that was my adventure in trying to find my cat.

So when the father died

the mother went crazy and tried to fly

When the people came for pig

they instead took kid

so now pig lives in the barn

while kid lives in the bed

Feeling Crappy

Well right now I'm feeling really crappy because this week was awful at the Regionals band competition. We tried our best and didn't make it to semi-finals. To go onto semis we had to be in the top eight out and we got 10th place. The bad part was that from 8 to 10th place there wasn't even a point difference between us. What also makes me upset is that compared to the other bands our size is small. We only have 62 members in our band when most of the other bands there had at least 100 members. I don't think that tis is really fair at all. They classify where we play by school size so we're in the largest class and don't have a good a chance. Also this was the last chance for the seniors in our band to get to go to state but that didn't happen, so right now I'm feeling really crappy and down and upset so yeah. Today's not going to be a good day

The Blue Nuns

I go to church at St. Martins on Hwy 81. There is a legend that in the really big blizzard in Owensboro that there were a few nuns that stayed at the church. During the blizzard the people around the church couldn't get out to check on the nuns a all because they were snowed in themselves. This blizzard lasted 30 days. When people were finally able to get out of their house they went to go check on the nuns. When they found them they weren't alive anymore, they were dead and blue. After the burial people who stayed late started to hear strange things in the church. They heard humming and saw strange blue lights and blue outline of people. They were a little frightened but figured it was just the two nuns who still felt that there work was undone in this world. One night a couple of kids broke into the church to steal the collection and donation money that the church got that day. It just so happened that someone was passing by the church when they started to hear screaming and saw wildly flashing blue lights. The person ran into the church to see what was going on. Right when he came in he saw the two boys dead and blue. He also saw two blue outlines of nuns floating above the dead bodies. When they turned to look at him he froze in fear. But apparently they knew that he meant no harm and just moved right pass him. When the man went to look at the dead bodies he saw whey they were blue. They had frozen to death with the money still in there hands with looks of horror on their face.

The Bell Witch

Have you ever heard the tale of the Bell tower Witch? No well here's her story.

One day in 1817, John Bell was inspecting his corn field when he encountered a strange-looking animal sitting in the middle of a corn row. Shocked by the appearance of this animal, which had the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit, Bell shot several times. The animal vanished. Bell thought nothing more about the incident, at least not until after dinner. That evening, the Bells began hearing "beating" sounds on the outside walls of their log house.

The mysterious sounds continued with increased frequency and force each night. Bell and his sons often hurried outside to catch the culprit but always returned empty-handed. In the weeks that followed, the Bell children began waking up frightened, complaining that rats were gnawing at their bedposts. Not long after that, the children began complaining of having having their bed covers pulled from them and their pillows tossed onto the floor by a seemingly invisible entity.

As time went on, the Bells began hearing faint, whispering voices, which too weak to understand but sounded like a feeble old woman singing hymns. The encounters escalated, and the Bells’ youngest daughter, Betsy, began experiencing brutal encounters with the invisible entity. It would pull her hair and slap her relentlessly, often leaving welts and hand prints on her face and body. The disturbances, which John Bell told his family to keep a secret, eventually escalated to such a point that he decided to share his "family trouble" with his closest friend and neighbor, James Johnston.

Johnston and his wife spent the night at the Bell home, where they were subjected to the same terrifying disturbances that the Bells had experienced. After having his bedcovers removed and being slapped repeatedly, Johnston sprang out of bed, exclaiming, "In the name of the Lord, who are you and what do you want!" There was no response, but the remainder of the night was relatively peaceful.

The entity's voice strengthened over time to the point that it was loud and unmistakable. It sang hymns, quoted scripture, carried on intelligent conversation, and once even quoted, word-for-word, two sermons that were preached at the same time on the same day, thirteen miles apart. Word of this supernatural phenomenon soon spread outside the settlement, even to Nashville, where then-Major General Andrew Jackson took a keen interest.

John Bell, Jr., Drewry Bell, and Jesse Bell, John Bell's eldest sons, had fought under General Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans. In 1819, Jackson decided to visit the Bell farm and see what all the hoopla was about. Jackson's entourage consisted of several men, some well-groomed horses, and a wagon. As they approached the Bell property, the wagon stopped suddenly. The horses couldn't pull it.

After several minutes of cursing and trying to coax the horses into pulling the wagon, Jackson proclaimed, "By the eternal, boys! That must be the Bell Witch!" Then, a disembodied female voice told Jackson that they could proceed and that she would see them again later that evening. They were then able to proceed across the property, up the lane, and to the Bell home where Jackson and John Bell had a long discussion about the Indians and other topics while Jackson’s entourage waited to see if the entity was going to manifest.

One of the men claimed to be a "witch tamer." After several uneventful hours, he pulled out a shiny pistol and proclaimed that its silver bullet would kill any evil spirit that it came into contact with. He went on to say that the reason nothing had happened to them was because whatever had been disturbing the Bells was "scared" of his silver bullet.

Immediately, the man screamed and began jerking his body in different directions, complaining that he was being stuck with pins and beaten severely. A strong, swift kick to the man's posterior region, from an invisible foot, sent him out the front door. Angry, the entity them spoke up and announced that there was yet another "fraud" in Jackson’s party, and that he would be identified and tormented the following evening.

Now terrified, Jackson’s men begged to leave the Bell farm. But Jackson, on the other hand, insisted on staying so that he could ascertain who the other "fraud" was. The men eventually went outside to sleep in their tents, but continued begging Jackson to leave. What happened next is not clear, but Jackson and his entourage were spotted in nearby Springfield early the next morning, presumably enroute to Nashville.

Over time, Betsy Bell became interested in Joshua Gardner, a young man who lived not far from her. With the blessing of their parents, they decided to marry. Everyone was happy about their engagement. Well, almost everyone. The entity, for reasons unknown to this day, repeatedly told Betsy not to marry Joshua Gardner.

Betsy and Joshua could not go to the river, the field, or the cave to play without the entity taunting them persistently. Their patience finally reached critical mass, and on Easter Monday of 1821, Betsy met Joshua at the river and broke off their engagement. The disturbances decreased after Betsy ended the engagement, but the entity continued to express its dislike for John Bell and vowed relentlessly to kill him.

Bell had been experiencing episodes of twitching in his face and difficulty swallowing for almost a year, and the malady seemed to grow worse with time. By the fall of 1820, his declining health had confined him to the house, where the entity commenced removing his shoes when he tried to walk and slapping his face when he experienced seizures. Her loud, shrill voice could be heard all over the farm, cursing and chastising "Old Jack Bell," as she often referred to him.

John Bell breathed his last breath on the morning of December 20, 1820, after slipping into a coma the day before. Immediately after his death, the family found a small vial of unidentified liquid in the cupboard. John Bell, Jr. gave some of it to the cat, which died instantly. The entity then spoke up, exclaiming joyfully, "I gave Ol' Jack a big dose of that last night, which fixed him!" John, Jr. quickly threw the vial into the fireplace, where it burst into a bright, bluish flame and shot up the chimney.

John Bell's funeral was one of the largest ever held in Robertson County, Tennessee. As family and friends began leaving the graveyard, the entity laughed loudly and began singing a song about a bottle of brandy. It is said that her singing didn't stop until the very last person left the graveyard. The entity's presence was almost nonexistent after John Bell's demise, as if its purpose had been fulfilled.

In April of 1821, the entity visited John Bell's widow, Lucy, and told her that it would return for a visit in seven years. The entity returned in 1828, as promised. Most of its visit centered around John Bell, Jr., with whom the entity discussed such things as the origin of life, civilizations, Christianity, and the need for a mass spiritual reawakening. Of particular significance were its nearly accurate predictions of the Civil War and other events.

The entity that tormented the Bell family and the Red River Settlement almost 200 years ago is often blamed for unexplainable manifestations that occur near the old Bell farm today. The faint sounds of people talking and children playing can sometimes be heard in the area, and it's not uncommon to see "candle lights" dance through the dark fields late at night. Photography is especially difficult; some pictures taken in the area show mist, orbs of light, and other phenomena, including human-like figures who were not present when the pictures were taken.

The cause of the Bells’ torment almost 200 years ago, as well as today's horrid, unexplainable manifestations, remains a mystery. Numerous theories abound, but there is no one theory that is universally agreed upon by Bell Witch enthusiasts and researchers -- and there probably never will be. Different people have different standards of proof. Most do agree that there was "something" very wrong at the Red River Settlement in the early 1800s, and that there may very well be "something" wrong there today.

Oh and one more thing. The family that I just told you about. I'm actually related to that family and it is said that some generations might be haunted by her. So who knows, maybe I could be next.

OMG

This week has been awful. So far all of my teachers have been loading on the homework one right after the other. I have gotten so little sleep its not even funny. Actually everything is funny.

An Uneventful Saturday

An uneventful Saturday. Yeah Right

This Saturday we went to Ohio county for a band competition and this was going to be a very long day. Well from the start the day was bad. We have a semi-truck that pulls all of our equipment and uniforms and we had to get a cab rented to pull it because the one that usually pulls was having issues. Well it turns out some kids had broken into the cab and turned on all of the electrical stuff and run down the battery. So we had to get jumper cables to get it to move so we could get the other cab on. So after that was done with we were on our way to the school. When we got there it was raining a little bit about not being able to perform but it didn't luckily. When we went to perform and everyone was a little nervous and we didn't do as well as we hoped to. We had finals to perform and we draw to see what order we go in and it was just our luck that we had to perform first; and this was really soon after we had preformed earlier. So we got ready and went to warm-up and then that is when the storm hit. It started to rain and hail to no end and it was extremely windy. Some of the parents were outside holding a tarp over our pit stuff while all of this was going on trying to protect it. And after all of this we still didn't get to perform because there were some funnel clouds spotted and we had to wait for that to pass and then we had to rush onto the buses because there was just a small window of time for us to get home. So yeah it was a pretty uneventful Saturday.

Being a Bibliomaniac

If you are someone that doesn't know me or not very well than you might not know that I am a bibliomaniac. When you're a bibliomaniac you can tend to be a little psychotic about books. For instance, when someone asks me about a good book that they might like to read I tend to give them a whole series of books. You know not just one or two but usually four, and sometimes they aren't always thin. Another thing about being a bibliomaniac, you don't ever not have a book at your side. If you don't than that usually means you're sick or something. Another thing is that your room is over run by books and so is your house. You can't look anywhere in my room and house without at least seeing one book. When you're a bibliomaniac you can't go into any store that has some kind of books on sale and not go by them and see if they just happen to have a book your looking for. The only time I don't go look at the books is if I'm forced away from not seeing them by my family. But being a bibliomaniac isn't bad. You get to have plenty of fun looking for books, and if you get to many it even gives your upper body a work out.

Is it better to do something or nothing at all?

I was watching a show called Criminal minds. It was about a young adult who was killing people because he was having psychotic religious episodes and he killed because he thought God told him to. The mother of the child knew what he was doing but did nothing to stop him or told anybody about him. So at the end of the show we found what she was doing and she asks what should she have done besides protect her child by doing nothing, and one of the team members responds It would have been better if you had done something than nothing at all. Since you did nothing three people have died. Now you have to deal with asking yourself what could have happened if you did something.

After watching this it got me started to think about what I had and hadn't done in my life. I was questioning about when I didn't do something would things have turned out differently. I think if we all consider this question before we do or don't act things may turn out differently. If we all just think back to other decisions we have made we could make better ones later and make things better for ourselves.

So I think if we all just consider this question some things will turn out better than they might of.

A family that laughs together stays together

I think that laughter unifys us by letting us have a good time. My fondest memories that I have of my family is when we get together and start to tell stories from the youngest to the oldest and laughing at the stories. One story that I remember being told is that my mom's to youngest siblings were arguing with each other and started to throw leaves at eaqch other (this was during fall). When my aunt Becky (the second youngest) threw leaves at my uncle Jimmy (youngest) a sake hit him. Apparently the snake had decided to take up residence in those leaves. Both of them ran screaming into the house. Another story that I remember is my mom and Sandy (second oldest) shared a room in the house. Sandy didn't like thunderstorms and one night there was a really bad one. Sandy tried to wake my mom up by talking to her and when that didn't work she threw a bar of soap at her. Then she finally woke up. There was also a time that my mom and Sandy were having an argument was with my mom's bed. My mom has to have the bed sheets in such an order that Sandy was tired of having to wait for her to get it ready every night. So one night Sandy decided to put a pine cone into my mom's bed after she had gotten it ready and was going to the bathroom. When my mom stuck her feet in bed she almost immediatly jumped out and was screaming and messed up her entire bed. My aunt was laughing so hard that she couldn't breathe. These are all stories that make me laugh whenever i hear them.

Chris Lossie on this Day of The Lord 8/26/09

Today I got my class ring and am really happy with what it looks like. It's really cool to look at everyone's and no matter what they are each at least a little different. I'm also going to get my yearbook after school and I can't wait to see what it looks like. I'm glad I don't have a lot of homework so I can relax when I get home and not worry about studying for three test like I had to last night. I can get online to Gaia and play zOMG and just mess around. My dad's foot and leg haven't really improved and that still worries me a little. He stays off his feet but it still just swells up like he has been on it all day which he hasn't. He's going to go see the doctor tomorrow and hopefully they will be able to do something to help him.

Last Saturday the marching band had their preview performance.

That morning we were at school at 8 to begin practice. The weather was perfect for it, there were clouds in the sky and it was chilly and the wind was blowing. Practice went really well. We got everyone on marching and playing for the first song. At 11:00 the practice ended and we went home for a 7 hour break. At 6:30 we performed and everything went allright for our first performance. After that a bunch of us went to Payton's house to watch movies and to play games and it was loads of fun. Then on Sunday I did nothing all day but sleep and get on the computer. I had a great weekend.

Relative I am most like

I am most like my uncle Jimmy. He has three sisters where as I only have one but we both love to pick on them. I love my sister but I always have the most fun when I can joke with her and make fun of her like she does to me. My uncle also loves to pick on his sister even though he lives in Lexington and the rest of the family lives here in Owensboro. He is about my height and we both have dark brown hair. Whenever people that don't know us see us together ask if we are father and son. When we say no they usually say that that's odd because we look a lot alike.
