The Time Has Come...

11:00 am last blog from Arlingfun

Fellow Ags,

The time has come for my departure from normalcy. No longer can I watch Carrie Underwood's "All American Girl" music video and comment on how incredibly sexy she is...ive been called to be above that.

The time has come for me to live 3 months with 8th and 9th grade children, wow.

The time has come because Pan just got here and we have to go. Please write and keep in "touch my body" with us. Feel free to send inappropriate things through mail, it's not checked. Just think WWMD? I would send it...will you?


As Julie Andrews sings,
"What will this day be like? I wonder.
What will my future be? I wonder.
It could be so exciting to be out in the world, to be free
My heart should be wildly rejoicing
Oh, what's the matter with me?
I've always longed for adventure
To do the things I've never dared
And here I'm facing adventure
Then why am I so scared

A captain with seven children
What's so fearsome about that?

Oh, I must stop these doubts, all these worries
If I don't I just know I'll turn back
I must dream of the things I am seeking
I am seeking the courage I lack
The courage to serve them with reliance
Face my mistakes without defiance
Show them I'm worthy
And while I show them I'll show me

So, let them bring on all their problems
I'll do better than my best
I have confidence they'll put me to the test
But I'll make them see
I have confidence in me

Somehow I will impress them
I will be firm but kind
And all those children (Heaven bless them!)
They will look up to me
And mind me with each step I am more certain
Everything will turn out fine
I have confidence the world can all be mine
They'll have to agree
I have confidence in me

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that spring will come again
Besides which you see
I have confidence in me

Strength doesn't lie in numbers
Strength doesn't lie in wealth
Strength lies in nights of peaceful slumbers
When you wake up -- Wake Up!
It tells me all I trust
I lead my heart to
All I trust becomes my own
I have confidence in confidence alone(Oh help!)
I have confidence in confidence alone
Besides which you see
I have confidence in me!"

Make this your anthem this summer my dear friends.

Until we meet again,
Matthew Tyler Pierson

Fannypack Friends!!!

3:44 ArlingFun, Texas

Holy Shat!

Hola friends. It is Matty P and I am finally writing on our Pedo-files page. I hope everyone is doing well in their foreign countries of choice. As for me the past two weeks, well Arlington is the bomb.
After I got home on Thursday after my finals, I started a mini-mester. Bren Bren signed me up for this and told me two weeks before getting home that I would be in school for 12 straight days from 8-12:30. Some of you may not know this, but I have a deep hate towards school and knowledge. It's weird. Speaking of hating school, the good news is I did well enough this semester to 1. stay in the business school and 2. come back to College Station in the fall. Dr. Swim and I have become really good friends through email to see if he would give me a B. Surprise!! He didn't...what a hoe. I'm riding the A-B line in my TCC mini-mester right now, I'm really good at school. Tomorrow I will be turning in a resume for 25 points extra credit.

In other news, Magic my 13 year old Rotweiller had to go to the vet this week. It's always an ordeal when she has to go. Why you ask? Here it goes, Magic has been deaf for the past year and half so we have to wake her up by touching her. If we are lucky, she doesn't poot and we can just continue on with our task. But, she has been known to pass gas these days when she gets startled. Well, after I recovered from her butt fog, I put her collar on. It's now time to see if she will get up. She has two really bad back legs. Now that it is summer, she will only sleep on our hardwood floors. So if you are putting this together, trying to get a 85 pound dog up on hardwood floors with two bad back legs is miserable. Plus, her toenails hadnt been clipped yet, so she slid all over the floor. Naturally, I put my arms around her torso trying to help her get into the car. Thats when I accidentally put pressure on her fatty tumor that is in her stomach. She attempted to snap at me and missed. What's funny is that we havent brushed her teeth in years so when snapped, we think she might have lost a tooth and swallowed it. We would have gotten the fatty tumor removed a couple of years ago, but it was a $4000 surgery. The vet told us it wasn't going to damage her, it would only get bigger as the years go on. So now, her tumor is the size of a softball hanging down from her belly. All of this to say, we got to the vet for her annual shots, and well she is too old to get them.

In other news, while we are on the topic of animals. The Pierson's have decided to become bird breeders. In our backyard last week, we noticed that a mother bluejay had given birth to two babies. Naturally, Bren Bren and TP become infatuated with the birds. My mom literally spent most of the past week looking out of our back doors watching them. This week it was great because the birds were learning how to fly, but they ran into an unexpected obstacle. We were watching my sisters dog, Bentley, this week for a few days. The two baby birds were learning how to fly, so naturally the mother and father pushed their babies out of the nest. Bentley just happened to be in the backyard while this happened. So of course, she ran up to the first bird and picked it up in her mouth. My mom was standing there and started screaming at the top of her lungs. Our neighbor next door called to make sure that no one was raping my mom in the backyard. While my mom is focused on the one that has just been injured, the other baby bird flew away but didn't have enough stamina or practice yet to clear our pool. So, it drowned and we later found it in our pool sweep. At the same time, the mother and father blue jay are so pissed off they are pecking at Bentley's head. Now my mom had to step in and save Bentley. Then, my dad had no idea what to do with the injured baby bird. So, he picked it up and attempted to place it back in the nest. In order for this to happen so that the mother and father bluejay dont peck my dad, my mom is outside blasting the parent bluejays with a water hose. Point of the story....both birds ended up dying and when I got home from school yesterday Mother B was crying, and I hate it when she cries.


Seriously, my life has been a joke the past two weeks. I hope all of you are enjoying your time out of school and getting ready for your adventures. I leave on Saturday for El Pina Covay....its in Spain, just dont worry about it...private island. I love all of you and miss you like "whoa"

In Him,
USDA
