Today at school was interesting. I went as an amish guy, but with my new improved beard. Half the people thought I was Amish, the other half thought I was a Rabbi. So when people asked, I said I was an Amish Jew.
Don't expect me to d much video editing today, it's halloween. And I also need Flash 8, because I am still using Flash MX(6). And I don't mean the free player, I mean the expensive Development Enviorment. Maybe Bittorrent has it...
More Later!

Driving
Today I started my drivers training! It was fun, and a nice drive, except the trainer was kind of pissy about my right turns..... always saying im to wide or not wide enough, and when I ask her how wide I should go, she gets mad. But at the end she said "Your parents have done a good job teaching you so far, because your pretty good. Just practice your turns, and remeber to shoulder check."
Then after that, I started playing some piano, and listening to music. Then I started the film editing. It took me forever to find the camera, but I found it. As I copyed the whole tape to the computer, and scanned through it, I noticed a clip I can use for another movie. "Victor Bidwell's Guitar Lesson Commercial" will be posted on youtube shortly. I still have to finish editing it and adding in effects and overlays, but that wont take long. I'll post an update on here when the video is ready.
I also had whitespot today. It was Delicous.
And I'm going to try and write more poems soon.

Sunday!
Today was fun! I got not enough sleep, but other then that it was goood. I had music practice after church, with my band. It went well. We ran through some songs, then started jamming and wrote an intro song on the spot. Then we went to McD's and got meals and STRAWBERRY PIE!!! It was delicious! Then we played more music and jammed.
I later came home, talked on the phone, and drank apple cider. Then I learned to play "Can you feel the love tonight?" on the piano... kinda... well it's my second day playing piano so bear with me. I've got the bass, the treble and the holds good, but I need practice. But I've been practicing so much that my fingers hurt like they were cut off. I'll get better as I practice I hope.
Also, I bought a new beard today. You might be thinking "What the heck?!?" but this is for my halloween costume... and maybe a prop for future movies. It has a moustache attached which is a nice addition, and its brown. I'm all set for halloween on Tuesday.
Sorry for not posting yesterday, I was very busy. But here is a quick overview of Saturday:
Nathan and Chris came over in the morning. We bussed out to Mostly Music and he bought Street Fighter 2, and I bought James' Birthday present. Then we walked to McD's and ate Strawberry Pie. It took so long that the manager gave it to us on a plate with a side of icecream for free! It was amazing. Then we just barely missed our bus to my house. Then we waited 30 mintues for the next bus. Then we came home and played Street Fighter 2. Then when they left, Taylor came over and we played Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. Then Victor came over and we all went to youth group. It was fun and after, John and Taylor slept over. We watched Grilled, but I wouldn't suggest it. It wasn't bad, but it had a weird plot. And it was kind of corney.

Cleaning Day
After school I spent the whole day cleaning... mostly. But lets start at the top!
Today in school I had alot of orange juice. And I mean ALOT! Like... 4 Dole bottles emptied from 8-3pm today (I finished the last one at home).
The day was pretty boring, that is, until lunch. We got pretty bored so we started kicking over all the cones on the football feild. It was pretty entertaining. I chucked one at one of my friends and that was fun to watch too.
Then I had gym class, in which we went on another feild trip! We went to Hyde Creek Rec. Centre and had a choice of 4 activitys: Swimming, Weight room, Sqash, or Wallyball (like vollyball but in a room with closed in walls so if it hits the wall, its still in). Me and 8 others choose Wallyball, but wanted to swim (but we forgot our swimming stuff). So Yeah that was a verrrry interesting game... more of "kick the balls off the wall the whole time when the teacher isn't looking" then vollyball, but oh well, it was fun!
Then I walked home from Hyde Creek because it was my last class, and it's closer to my home than the school is. But when I came home there was a BIG MESS!!! No, no one robbed us, it was there when I left for school. So I ended up cleaning up most of the mess, and vaccumed, and now I have room to set up alot of my music stuff again! YAY!
Oh and I also played gutiar alot today.
More updates tommorow, maybe more lyrics or a poem, and don't forget to read yesterday's lyrics/poem and blog!

Current mood: Happy!

Fix Me Lord
This is a poem I wrote in two parts. Last night at about 11pm I wrote the first verse, and today at the same time I wrote the second part. It is strange how I am most creative at this time of night. Well here it is:
My heart is filled with many stings
Things of the past, oh my heart sings
Sings a cry out, out to my King
Please fix me Lord, cleanse everything
God please help me, this worlds not fair.
Those from this Earth, they just don't care
I feel I'm broke beyond repair
I know your out there, please hear my prayer.

Those Holigans and their School Skipping
Ok I have a little confession to make. I didn't want to go to my first class today so I got ready for school and went back to bed. I woke up 15 minutes before my second class, giving me plently of time to bike to school. But here is the fun part: My bikes chain snapped in half! (which you would have known if you read my blog more often). I completly forgot about this and so I was going crazy when I remebered right before my next class. So I went around back and saw my dad's bike. I tryed it out and did a lap of the backyard but it was wayyyy to high up and sitting down and standing made no real diffrence, so I couldn't go very fast, and I looked like a complete idiot too.
So eventually I gave up and put the bike back. I had a long walk to school and showed up 20 minutes late for my second class.Then the teacher made me give an explaination in front of the whole class about why I was late! But in the end it was worth it because I got an hour more of sleep! Plus I got a good laugh out of it later.
And Chris (my single reader that I know of right now), I DO eat chicken pizza and I ENJOY IT AND TAKE PRIDE IN IT!!!!!

Tuesday the 24th, October '06
Well today has been weird.
In gym class we went 5-pin/3-ball bowling. It was weird because half way through the game it started giving me only 2 balls instead of 3 so that affected my score abit... I only got 116 :(...
Then today on my way to work my bike broke... yes thats right, the old CLIPPER has been retired. The chain snapped in half, and the pedal almost fell off. I slammed my knee into the handle bar and had to walk the rest of the way with my broken bike. I guess it's time for a new bike now! YAY!
Then after work I had music practice at the church. It was OK, but during the last song I almost fell asleep.....
Now for the deep stuff:
This whole personal situation that I am not going to describe on here is not getting better much. It's not getting worse, but not better. It's just about the same. Except that the more I have to wait, the more impatiant I get.
And tommorow is the bible study where I get to share some feelings about the trip, and about the attacks of Satan!!! OOOOOHH BE AFRAID!!! Acually dont be afraid because you shouldn't fear Satan because he is powerless against my God! Here's a little sneak preview of what I'll be sharing:
This is from my journal:
"...It seems whenever my life goes up a step, something bad happens..."...Is Satan playing games with me?"
Then later I wrote:
"...Bad things don't happen after good things, Bad things happen because Satan wants to move us away from the good things to come. He is afraid of God's plan for me so he is attacking me..." "...I must be important to God for Satan to be that worried about me and my future."
So there is a sneak preview! I might throw some verses in there and more stuff. Come to bible study on Wednesday (tommorow) to hear more!

Always There
Here is my poem titled "Always There". I made it this morning at about 9 or 10am... It was weird. I woke up, wrote the first 2 verses, then slept again. I woke up again later and wrote the rest. Here it is:
Though I may face much pain and sorrow
And many burdens may lie ahead
I will look forward to tomorrow
Because the Lord my God has said
"Do not fear death
at point of knife
but be thankful for
the things in your life
I am here for you now
Just as I was then
I've never left you before
And I wont leave you again
I've always been here
Though you never knew
In your troubled times
I would carry You"

Stronghold
I am the happy and the sad.
I am the stronghold that stands through the attacks of the enemy
But crumbles at a single blow from a loved one.
October 22nd, 2006 (c) Timothy Joel Watkins
This means alot to me beacuse it pretty much describes me. I am a big guy that alot of my friends go to for advice or protection, and I am like "an Oak tree where the birds take nest" and can withstand alot, but when a friend or loved one hits me emotionaly, I rip like paper.

"In a Hole" Haiku
Here Is my 4 verse haiku called "In a Hole":
Am I in a hole
That I can not get out of?
Or is this a cloud?
Lifting me higher,
I want to get down from here
Or is this God's plan?
Is this just a test?
Or is this God calling me
to be what he chose?
Am I free from life?
Or will this circle kill me?
God please save my soul!
