Amazing video

Hello everyone!!!
I have been super duper busy and i'm sorry that i have not been able to post much recently.
Hopefully next week i'll try to get the California pics up.
But in the meantime, I have been doing a lot more video stuff for church and we just bought a pro camera for video production (super excited)
Anywho i've been learning a little graphic animation and i found this video from a website that i watch tutorials on.
It's a short film that was made be 2 people with NO BUDGET. i love when that happens, just a souped up computer and good old creativity.
but it's about this little girl, i'm not going to say much more but just look at the eyes of the little girl. It's amazing how they caught that inquisitive look that i see when i play with my nieces.
but anywho... here it is!!

Snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


That is a scene from one of favorite movies of all time, White Christmas, if you haven't seen it... you should.

Anywho, I'm am a true lover of snow here is a picture of a snowflake under a microscope.


but when we think of snow many might think different things, Storms, blizzards, no school, snow forts, decorations, Christmas or what ever you might think.
But i love waking up and seeing the world covered in a perfect, pure sheet of snow as if to blanket the world and give it comfort.

So tell me what you think about snow, leave a comment in the comment section and i'll ttyl

Love MYKE

To Dream

Dreaming... when we hear the word we think of many things. Sleeping, daze and imagination to name a few.
But just imagine what life would be like without dreams, without ambitions, without hope.
A very dull place it would be indeed I'll say.
So no matter how old you are, always dream.
No matter how dim your life may be, always dream.
No matter how many times people tell you your wasting your time, always dream.
No matter what hurdles you might have to overcome, always dream.
No matter what people might say behind your back, always dream.
No matter how your loved ones might treat you, always dream.
No matter how rich or poor you might be, always dream.
And no matter how far the light at the end of the tunnel might be, always dream.
So many times we dream and imagine as children what we might want to be when we grow up, but as we grow older we might lose that sense of fascination with the world and all the many grand things it hold.
But i urge you to NEVER lose that feeling, that hope, that urge to be someone great.
Many times we dream of being a nurse, fire fighter, police officer, world traveler, writer, musician or anything imaginable.
But what we don't realize is that we can be all those things with God's help.
So i leave you with this final note,
Dream Big

Love you all,
MYKE

This Week

Well this week was a lot of fun!!!
Sunday We had friend day with 17 first time visitors and i believe over 20 visitors in all, complete with a HUGE potluck dinner (most likely the biggest we have had here)
Then Monday was school then on Tuesday Evening my sisters Salina and Sarah took me and my friend Mike Strobel to dinner in downtown Rochester and we had a lot of fun seeing some sights and going to a really neat coffee place right next the Eastman Theater called Java's.
Then Wednesday was Piano and church that night. Thursday mom took all us kids to Batavia with the Calelz family for ice-skating, and it was only my third time going but i had loads of fun and didn't fall down!!!
oh i almost forgot, on Wednesday a family that are friends with the Allis family (who are currently going to our church, they were missionaries to Belarus until the government booted them out)
are immigrating to the US, they flew from Minsk and arrived in JFK airport on wednesday and Bro. Allis drove there to pick them up.
Now i knew they were coming here but i didn't know they were moving to the US.
I helped them unload and they had 2 boys (Vova - 19 and Andre- 10) the family dog and 5 suitcases... FIVE.
They sold everything and moved to a whole new country and only the older son and the father can speak english... And they have thier ENTIRE LIFE IN FIVE BAGS.
I've been thinking about that for several days now.
Could you imagine doing that and putting your life in 5 bags.
We here in America have so much to be thankful for.
So the week went on and on Friday night i had Bible study then went to the Vasquezs house for junk food and a movie.
Then today (Saturday) I just got back from Ridge Road Station open house. Click here to see what that's about.
So that's my week.
Hopefully I'll be posting some really cute pictures of my baby brother Nathaniel soon.
Also i'd like to get a feel for who reads my blog so if you read this please leave a comment with maybe some new ideas for the blog.
I'm always open minded (hence the name of the blog)
Well, love you all, Bye! (^_^)

Bonsai Trees!

With my dad being a electrician he goes to all sorts interesting (and not so interesting) places to work. One of the recent jobs was a Bonsai (properly pronounced BONES-EYE) Grower in Henrietta.
The cool thing is it's one of the most largest and well know Bonsai Tree Exhibits IN THE WORLD.
And it's all in his back yard. His house was burned down due to bad wiring and my dad was hired to do the wiring in the new house.
Mr. Valvanis (the owner) has a conference that fills hotel on that side of Rochester, with people from all over the world (mostly Japan) to see his collection.
Most of the trees are over 100 years old and worth hundred or MILLIONS of dollors... i'll let that settle in for a minute... I shall continue now that your over the shock.
But the pictures you will see in the video and stunning. I had to make a video so it would take forever to upload. The trees in the green room and tropical trees and require proper temperature to live, the rest live in pots outside year round.
If you have any questions please leave it in the comment section and i'll see if i can find the answer. Also if you want a particular picture, let me know and i can e-mail it to you.

Ka-dooche...LOL

Hi everyone, i'm sorry that i haven't updated things on here in a while but It's been a spectacular and busy summer!!!
But right now i'm at church waiting for some people to get here and have a few spare moments and thought i'd give everyone an update with mio... READY? Here we go...
So in July Julia and i had the blessing of attending a youth camp in Alabama and we had a great time, God really moved in the services and it was nice to meet new people and reunite with friends and be apoted into families... let me guess your all like o.0 ...lol but Julia and I are official cousins with Jose and Chey Oliver, which means i now have to give a shout out: Hey Aunt Theresa!!!!!!
LOL, but anywho after camp there have been alot of other stuff.
Seven days after i got back from Alabama i got a virus that seems to be going around, i have a 103.9 degree fever for 9 days and couldn't keep food down for almost 6 days, and on top of that i caught a horrid cough which still lingers here with me.
But after i "recovered" life continued, and a few weeks later our church went to a camp in Somerset PA.
We had 19 go people including Pastor (my dad) and Aunt Bonnie (AKA Miss Bonnie, AKA Mrs. Vaquez, AKA Bonnie Vasquez etc.) and we had a grand time indeed.
I wish i could take an hour and 20 pages to tell you about this camp and how God worked but alas i can not at the moment so i shall have to tell the tale and all it's glory in a condensed form.
We drove down at about 3am on Monday morning and arrived for check in at 10am, the church there (Happy Valley Baptist Church) is one of the most hospitable churches i know of... besides mine.
During the morning and day time it's a fun filled camp for youth with many activities, but at night it turns into a camp/tent meeting where the community and other local churches are invited to attend.
But we had a lot of fun and had 5 of our people get saved!!!
But now as life goes on i will have more of a structured schedule which will allow more time to post things on this blog.
But i love you all and hope you all keep an eye out for some new stuff i have planned for here!!
IF YOU READ THIS, PLEASE COMMENT!
