Does Blogging Cease Boredom?

I've been sitting on my butt all summer long. I get up out of this chair to eat, drink, use the little Penguins room, and to get into another room to watch television, or play Wii. Oh, I also get up and walk ten feet to lie down for bed... That's mainly all. Hopefully making this blog will help cease this boredom of mine...

Rarely go outside. The only times I have stayed outside for more than ten minutes, were to play Manhunt, when it was dark. I dislike the sun. We don't get along. Sun too bright. Yeah, I'll go outside to go into a car, and all, but actually staying out and playing football or wiffleball with friends whilst daylight--No.

Got TaeKwon Do (http://www.mrbtkd.com/) every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from around 4:30PM-7:30PM. Recommended Black Belt, I am. January of 08 is the earliest I can test for Black Belt. TKD isn't that useful, though. But fun! The belts and their order from beginner to Black Belt--

--White Belt
--High White (a single black stripe on a White Belt)
--Yellow
--Green
--High Green (a single black stripe on a Green Belt)
--Blue
--High Blue (a single black stripe on the Blue Belt)
--Red
--High Red (a single black stripe on the Red Belt)
--Recommended Black (Two black stripes on the Red Belt)
--1st Degree Black (Black Belt with roman numeral 1 (I) on it)
--2nd-9th Degree Black (Black belt with roman numeral 2-9 (II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX) on it)

My Grandfather recently died. Royal Hervey Edgerly, Jr. A great man, and awesome grandfather. He died of cancer. He acted as if nothing was going on when he had it. It seemed like all was good. I even thought the cancer went away. He died on August 10th 2007 surrounded by my mom, dad, aunt, uncle, cousin, and grandmother. His obituary (at least the one that is correct and good, compared to some of the other ones we saw) can be found here-- http://www.fosters.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070813/FOSTERS03/108130181/-1/NEWS05 . I remember playing poker with him on holidays. The first time they allowed me to play poker with them, we played with a bet of five dollars. 6 of us played--My brother, my dad, my cousin, my uncle, him, and me. I won. 30 bucks. He said that I shouldn't be allowed to play anymore, since I just took five bucks from him. Then, the other 5 or so poker games we played, we played with a bet of one dollar. I won a couple, and he complained about me winning, saying I shouldn't be allowed to play. It was great. He joked around with all his grandchildren, and everyone had fun with him. We all miss him greatly.
