Hey everyone who is reading this, which I am sure is a limited number of you, Happy Holidays! Yes, it is important for me to be politically correct, even though we have a ten foot tall Christmas tree in our Great Room and our house is more Christmasy than it has been in over 3 years.
Anyways, I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season and I know the college kids are already off but I only have four days left of school until I have 2 weeks off. And I need that break. So, go have some hot chocolate and sit by a cozy fire and enjoy your own holiday. I'm sure I'll be posting something Christmasy soon so look for that, also keep an eye on Lava-Productions as Melissa and I can actually record soon because we will both be on break.
Ok, now I'm just rambling, gotta go!

Happy Indigenous Genocide Day
Happy Indigenous Genocide Day! Yes, it's what we celebrate! We celebrate the day that Columbus arrived in America was greeted warmly and then attacked the natives. You can blame my American History teacher for this wonderful information!
Anyways, hope everyone has a great day and a great holiday season in general!

So 0-2
If you are a regular reader, actually scratch that. If you read my blog about roughly a year ago, I'm sure you remember me posting about being rejected. Well, today marks the second "rejection" if you will.
Anyways, yeah. Life isn't looking the greatest right now, but I'm sure the wheels will keep on turning. I am presently living by the following quote:
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip: Episode: The Long Lead Story: Character: Harriet Hayes:
"My mother got cancer when I was 15... I asked her, Mom, how come you never say 'Why me?' and she said 'I never ask God why me when the good things happen, why should I ask now?"
So, let those wheels keep on turning, and I hope all is well with everyone, thanks for reading.

Don't ask why the bad things happen, because we don't ask why the good things happen.
Don't ask why the bad things happen, because we don't ask why the good things happen.

LittleBigPlanet Mania
So, over the past few weeks I have been doing nothing but looking up everything LittleBigPlanet. Pretty much. From challenge to challenge on the LBP news site, to posting on the Playstation forums.
It has been crazy trying to get into the Beta which lasts until October 11th, and so far I have been unsuccessful. I am currently waiting to hear from Gamespot or IGN because I entered both of those contests. I have also been waiting to see if I would get an invite from GameInformer but no luck there either.
Oh well, we don't have that much longer to wait (counter in the post below). If you are trying to get into the beta I wish you all the luck in the world. Here is a collection of links I find useful to get through the weeks of waiting:
LittleBigPlanet on Giant Bomb
Playstation Blog
Neogaf LBP Thread
LittleBigPlanet News Site
Media Molecule
So, I will post if I do manage to get in, again if you are trying, all the luck in the world to you!

The End of Summer: Part 2
So, its is time to reflect on the list below. Sorry it was screwed up at first, but it's all better now, just have to get used to some stuff while mobile blogging, which I'm not doing now, in case you were wondering.
Indiana Jones, all excellent films. I can't believe it took me that long to finally watch them. They're awesome. And the special effects, not bad for when the movie was made. I also liked the 4th one when I went and saw it. It was nice to see Mary again. So, if you haven't seen them yet, SEE THEM.
My sisters were gone for 3 weeks, that's right, 3 WEEKS. It was so quiet and clean, and quiet and clean... Did I mention clean? Yeah, and I didn't yell, for 3 WEEKS it was awesome. The 1st day they were back, I was already yelling. It was not good. Anyways, be grateful anytime that siblings leave, it's awesome.
E3, was awesome. I can't wait for LittleBigPlanet, and this Thursday, Ratchet and Clank Future: Quest for Booty. It's going to be AWESOME. That and Resistance 2 this fall, these last months of 2008 are going to be pretty good video game wise.
The Wii brings people together... 'Nuff said.
Already talked about the sister thing...
The story! Ah yes, I started it, got no response, and haven't worked on it for quite some time now. I should get back to that...
If you live in the Winfield, IL area, you need to go to Tony's Steamers, it is my favorite hot dog place around. Chicagoland hot dogs are AWESOME.
Driving! Yes! I have my license now, and it is awesome. I don't have my own car, and am pressured to do some more stuff now, but it's still awesome to have. I don't think I have said awesome enough in this post yet, lol.
I wont mention the girl, besides the fact that she is really really pretty.
Melissa and I met! It was pretty cool, we talked, like usual, and that's about it. I think that's what a first meet is supposed to be, you just talk. Oh well, it was nice to finally meet her, after about a year of knowing her.
If you like video games, and awesomeness, go to http://www.giantbomb.com/ it is one of the best sites EVER. It's awesomely awesome. I love it, and have been listening to the podcast way before the site even launched. It's great.
Driver's license I mentioned... I had to drive a lot to get it, but I got it.
AP 3 will probably KILL ME. Once again, 'nuff said.
Marching band show this year = Styx. I know, random. But hey, it isn't bad music, and I enjoy band. Except for late night practices... and memorizing stuff...
Now, to reflect on what I didn't do on my list of things to do this summer, I will type one paragraph... yay...
I didn't get to start an improv group, maybe if the house was done, I could, but it's not. And it stinks, bad. I did sort of start a story, but I would've like to fix my script, I get a lot of compliments, and I would like to do better, but the opening is just crud, plain and simple. Wait a sec... I remember something... I wasn't able to get anyone to join Randomness Squared, but Melissa and I both tried hard. Oh well... Maybe I'll ask the girl out soon... After this whole "Jon" thing blows over.
So, thanks for reading, maybe I'll post again soon after school starts rolling along, until then, check out Randomness Squared, because it is awesome. If someone could count how many "awesome"'s there were that'd be cool. Thanks for reading!

End of Summer: Part 1
So, there are many ways I could start out this blog, and I'm sure they would all fit, so let me give you the following choices of a begining:
1st Mobile Blog
I started out with a list of things I wanted to do... Now here's a list of what I did do...
The end of summer is here... And so is my childhood...
Here is the first part to my two part "end of summer" blog...
So, mash all of those together and you have what this two parter will consist of. For this first part I will just list what I did do this summer, and tomorrow on the actual last day I will reflect, so, here goes nothing... In close to chronological order...
Watched all 3 "Indiana Jones" movies in one day... Then went and saw. The fourth a week later.
Said goodbye to my sisters for 3 weeks, and enjoyed every second they were gone.
Watched E3 coverage live and enjoyed every second of it. Except for Nintendo's press conference. Sony did awesomely though.
Enjoyed the Nintendo Wii with a bunch of friends that don't normally play video games.
Cried a little when his sisters came home.
Started a new fantasy/sci-fi story.
Went to Tony's Steamers... A LOT
Did a lot of driving...
Crushed on a girl I like some more...
Met Melissa! Man, do we always have something to talk about.
Loved the launch of Giantbomb.com and was asked why a website I was looking at had the word "bomb" in it. That actually happened after E3, but who really cares.
Obtained my drivers license.
Finished 1 out of 2 AP 3 books... Dang...
Learned the Marching Band show this year.
Ok, I think that's it. I will have more on this, I guess later today. This is why the iPhone is so awesome. I love the full keyboard and quickness of typing. Anyways, thanks for reading and look for full rambles soon!

Brainstorming
Hey, no quote this time around.
If you keep checking this page, kudos to you indeed. I apologize for not posting more. The excuses are as follows: Randomness Squared, School (AKA: Hell), more school, band stuff (you will probably get details on Randomness Squared), and an assortment of other things.
So, what will I be blogging about this time around? Nothing, really. I am just typing out my ideas for the summer. Oh, did I not tell you? I just finished school today for the Summer, thank goodness its finally here.
So, here are the idea(s) that I would like to pursue this summer:
-Start an Improvisational group
-Write a script/screenplay
-Get more people involved with Randomness Squared (3 is the magic comedy #)
-Ask someone out. Wait, did I just type that? Dang...
So, that is the list for now, maybe I'll update more over the summer, who knows...Only God does. God knows what our plans are and we will figure them out as we go. Until then, we are all Jellyfish, floating along on a current, letting God lead us. Wow, credit to that goes to Phil Vischer, the creator of VeggieTales, I can't believe I stuck that it...Wow..
Well, until next time, thanks for reading, and check out Randomness Squared! ~Jake

Me (Jake) and Melissa, who apparently just posted on Lava-Productions, has joined with me, I think it was her idea, not sure though, ANYWAYS, we are starting a podcast, and because it takes a little while for iTunes to recognize a new podcast and get everything set up I am putting it up here first. So, yeah. Here is the episode:

So sit back and enjoy and the link will be up asap.

On a Tangent
So, what should I talk about today? Hm...Well I will be reading this out-loud on my podcast eventually, so. Why don't I just start talking, so the podcasts are longer than 5 minutes. Sorry, not quote for this one!
What is up with society these days? Have we turned to gladiator show, pitching teachers against actual wrestlers, have we pitched dads against each other only to let down their sons? What the heck? News programs are in a constant battle to be the first one with every story. Including ones about celebrities. Why should we even care? Leave the poor people alone. Every time I see a celebrity on a news show I am depressed and I feel sorry for them. News should be news, not, BRITNEY SPEARS IS BALD! Why should we care? TV sucks now-a-days. ABC seems to have the only quality program, aside from "The Bachelor", which is a stupid reality show...I hate reality programming. It just puts people against each other for our own entertainment.
I remember in 2006 when this marvelous, smart and funny show came out "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip". It obtained better ratings the "30 Rock" and was also funnier and smarter. BUT, NBC is just a stupid bunch of morons who spin around with a blind fold on throwing a dart into the next show they have to cancel because they have horrible ratings. Yes, I just made that up. Back to the news thing. You can never be the first, it is near impossible these days with the internet. Back to "Studio 60" See, I am jumping around a lot here, try and follow me here.
Aaron Sorkinn, also wrote "The West Wing" which was highly successful, and I still need to get the DVDs and watch it. Me wants it so bad. I wish "Studio 60" was still around, that way I wouldn't have to go around hating NBC, which I do. If you don't watch ABC Family, you should for two reasons. Reason 1: "Whose Line is it Anyway?" Nuff said, if you haven't seen it, you need to see it. And it is still a mystery to me why it got canceled. Reason 2: "Greek". Great show, in it's second season I believe. Very funny. Check it out. ABC seems to be on top of things with their programming. I love "Lost" "Grey's Anatomy" and "Desperate Housewives" all good Drama-Comedy's. So, yeah, enough on television. How about school...
School, a kids (not a baby goat's) worst nightmare. Homework-test-homework-test-homework-test and the repetition goes on and on. Doing the same thing every day. Going to the same classes every day. Getting up everyday. We are only kids and yet you are torturing us! I absolutely loathe my Spanish teacher (Feliz Cinco De Mayo, btw), "No writing while watching the movie" and the movie was in Spanish, English subtitles, questions in English, but we have to answer in Spanish. I was ready to blow my brains out half the time, AND we have a test on it tomorrow. HOLY CRAP! Pardon my language. My topics teacher put it best "I'm surprised you guys haven't dropped dead yet." It's true! She's a cool teacher.
Yep...What next? I'm not sure...Ummm...maybe I have worn out the tangent for this time. I'm sure you don't want to read all of this anyways so, I'll save more for later. SO thanks for reading/listening, subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, helps me get more attention. Which will be good for Lava-Productions and stuff like that. So iTunes link: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=277452921
So, yeah, that's all for now. Thanks for reading! ~Jake

Trust
"A person who trusts no one can't be trusted." - Jerome Blattner
Nearly everyone has someone they can trust. But if someone doesn't have someone they can trust they can't be trusted because they don't trust someone and you can't...Never mind, I wont try and explain it, but I'll attempt to talk about trust.
Trust: "reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence." according to Dictionary.com. We all put trust into someone, whether it be a little secret that they don't want anyone else to know about or something that they have Entrusted someone to do.
We all need to trust, trust our friends to give us the right suggestion if we are about to jump off a cliff, or trust someone when they say "It's all gunna be all right" after a friend or family member passes away.
Trust is what we depend on. Trust in our faith, trust our confidence, trust our friends. You all need trust. And so do I, and I trust that I do have trust.
Trust me in this.

Amongst other Crap...
Now, before you get all, "You said no swears!" on me, just let me talk...
Well, Spring Break was a pretty big bore. Besides the fact that I went to downtown Chicago on Monday, everything else was boring. I ran into one of my friends at the Art Institute which was great. Much better then just having to keep track of my sisters.
Dang Topics Paper...
My sisters got braces (all I hear is "blah blah blah" when they complain. Hey, I went through it, you can survive too.)
Dang Topics paper!
Spanish Quiz
Math Test
Quarter Grades
Amongst other crap...
Thanks for reading...Keep a lookout for the next podcast in the next few days...

Quotes of the Week
I chose three quotes today to be the "Quotes of the Week" maybe this will become a weekly thing...
"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there."
Will Rogers (1879 - 1935)
"It is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light, and certainly not desirable, as one's hat keeps blowing off."
Woody Allen (1935 - )
"I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life."
James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)
I am working (kind of) on a bunch of things at the moment. Keep checking Lava-Productions for more info on that. Next week is spring break so hopefully I will do a blog post. As far as I am concerned, my family isn't going anywhere. There is a band concert tonight. I still don't know if I am in Symphonic Band, but I am hoping desperately. I will hopefully find out before spring break starts. No one really cares, do they? Anyways, I appreciate anyone who is taking time out their own lives to read/listen (oops wasn't supposed to type that listen) to my rambling on like this. If you just want to listen to some sense check out www.wiredjesus.com

Time DOES Fly Like an Arrow
"Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana" -G. Marx
Ah, time to bring back one of my favorite quotes because it holds true to today's post.
Since I last posted the following things have happened:
-I traveled to Toronto, Canada with the band.
-My great-grandmother passed away (it's all good, very sad, but everything is good now)
-One of my little sisters turned 11 (Dang, she grows up fast).
-Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out (which is AWESOME).
-I turned 16 (I know, I'm old...-cough-sarcasm-cough-).
-I wrote a speech (which I HATE).
-I have taken two weeks off of any internet work to get back on my feet
Lots right? Anyways, just thought I would list today, maybe I'll actually type about this in completeness one day. So, thanks for reading.

More Work...Less Play...MORE PLAY!
"It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do." - Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927)
No one likes working right? Well, most you should feel lucky. There are a lot of people out there that spend most of their lives working away into nothing.
Scratch that...
Now, I work a lot, but I want to type about something else, I am going to Canada! That's right, CANADA! I am so excited to go! I am leaving on Friday and wont be back till Tuesday.
So, that's about it. I still am thinking about making a podcast with my blog, but I don't know.

"Life, in a Nutshell"
"Life, in a Nutshell" - Barenaked Ladies
One of my favorite Barenaked Ladies songs out there. Thats why the quote this week is the title of the post, and the quote.
Life is life right now. More and more things just keep popping up for me to do. I have gained more friends this year tan I thought I would, and the laughs keep coming. My band is taking a trip to Toronto at the end of February which should be a heck of a lot of fun. A bunch of band people thrown together on three buses and sent on their way. With chaperons of course.
Now...venting time...
I do not like my topics teacher, she is awesome as a person, but a lot of annoying things. Homework must be done in pen, one side of the paper, etc, etc, etc. These things just make me mad. We are wasting paper! The poor trees! Also, I got a C on my very first homework assignment in that class. Hold on a second. I'm gunna stop. I shouldn't talk about another person like this.
I have experienced some, lets call them moments, the past few weeks. Lots of laughs have come out of these moments, also, a lot of thoughts have come out of these moments. Thinking about different things at home, drifting off in class and thinking about something completely off-topic. I often return to thinking of my church, and faith and more.
Well, I might be making a podcast, almost like Wired Jesus, but not all about faith. But about life. Well, I will have more news when I return on Monday, leaving this Thursday for my aunt's wedding.
Until then, thanks for reading!

Curve-Balls
"I couldn't come up with a good quote one night so I came up with one: 'When life throws you curve balls, don't make lemonade!' I know it sucked out loud, but I couldn't help it...It was late..." - Jake Neuman (1992-)
See that? I can make my own quotes too! Anyways, I was thrown a curve-ball it came out of NO WHERE! That's right, NO WHERE. (WARNING! Beatles Refrence!) And no, there are no blue meanies. Get over it.
I was thrown a curve-ball. I had like 20 seconds to react! What did I do. I answered the question. Five minutes later...Did I make a good decision? It ate at me for the rest of that day and into the night.
All you have to do, count the good things that came out of that decision. Could go to Canada without worry, can go to my aunt's wedding without worry. And more! No one really cares do they? Oh well, it's fun to write this stuff cause there might be some person that visits my blog to get life advice.
After you make a rash decision, count the good things, then watch your favorite stand-up comic (like Lewis Black) and you can fall asleep peacefully! Yes, I am Jake Neuman, if anyone was wondering.

Awards
"Awards are merely the badges of mediocrity." - Charles Ives
Awards, everybody loves them. If it is for an art project, or for doing well in school, or for acting in a movie. The reason I thought of awards is because the Golden Globes were "canceled" and made into a press conference. Just because AMPTP (or whoever they are) wont make a deal with WGA.
Now, this threatens the Academy Awards too. If a deal isn't made soon with the writers the Oscars might have to be canceled as well. Now, if everyone loves awards, why wont they make a deal with the writers? Deal with writers=award ceremonies. Now, some of this might not make sense, but it does in my head.
Make a deal with WGA, AMPTP (or whoever you are), and let the awards rain down.
