My experience with the Special Olympics was extremely fun. I had an awesome time helping my group bowl. I also found out that I'm terrible at bowling. The people in my group were really nice and fun to talk to. They were alot better at bowling than me. One person in my group named Randy scored 5 strikes! I told him that he'll need to give me lessons later on. Another person in my group named Jeremy was good to. He really liked to talk about football and all of his girlfriends. One of the other people in my group was this guy named Migel, he didn't talk much but when he did he said some of the funniest stuff I've ever heard! And man could he bowl! Anytime he went up he just shot the ball down the middle and made a spare or strike! I asked him if he could give me lessons but he said he was busy.
I realized today that people always judge those with a mental illness and never really get to know them. I bet if people took some time out of their day to get to know them they would really like talking to them and want to hang out with them. I also found out that most of the people in my group were christians. I asked Randy what he thought about all of us being made in God's image. He replied by saying, "I know God made everyone in his image, people don't think about that when they look at me. I just remember that God has a plan for everyone, including me."
That really spoke to me, I used to think that I was going no where in life and that if God did exist why he put in the position I'm in now. I wish now that I could have more faith like Randy does, and try to apply it to every day in my life.

What I look for in a friend.
I know people are expecting me to say that I want a friend who laughs at whatever I say or also questions what I do. Well guess what, I'm not doing that!
By the way I know I'm a little late on this but I've been kinda busy.
So what I look for in a friend is someone who doesn't care about the consequences in the future but just likes to live in the moment. I do want someone who gets a joke, but doesn't try to make a joke out of everything like saying "That's what she said" after every freaking sentence! I'd appreciate it if they would just enjoy a laugh every now and then. I also want my friends to be a little more mature.

I havent exactly done any blogs in quite a long time, and I've been getting some major grief for this. I don't want to name any names but one of them starts with a J and Y. His last name is also Mendenhall.
I have had alot of time to think about my own life these past few weeks and also where I'm headed. I had asked a few friends where they thought I might be headed and some said that I'm on a one way to ticket to the flea market circus or to the local county jail. I am not exactly how you would say perfect. I admit I do have some faults, but hey who doesn't?
I was thinking about putting some of the stuff I've done in the past that I'm not to proud of but I realized that I would probably be asked to leave OBA for good. Don't ask. I don't exactly know what the point of this whole blog was. Maybe to get some stuff off my chest or just to put something on here so people will stop wondering if I'm technologically challenged.
Anyway..... The End
