Hello all of you who have not given up on my blog

How are you?? I have been very busy lately!!! I am taking a summer course and trying to work as much as I can!! Not so much fun! The history class is through distance studies so that I can do it over the internet which is nice! I have a paper due on Friday on the Vienna Conference (very uncool)!!! Work is okay! Last night I was the last one to leave work so what I did is I set up a "hang man" (a pare of coveralls with a blown up garbage bag in them I also attached a blown up rubber glove in a hat for a head and some other gloves for hands and I had rubber boots for feet!) I hung the whole contraption from a hanger right in side a door and to get to the light switch you would have to brush up against it!!!!) I do not know how badly I scared any one yet because I have not been back yet!!!: ) But I can only imagine that it would be pretty freaky!!!! This coming weekend I am the best man in Ben and Heathers wedding which should be fun! After the fact I may post my speech but may be not!!!! I am also VERY much looking forward to this weekend because my beautiful girlfriend (who I miss a lot) is coming St. T!! : ) : )

That is it for now! Talk to you later!

How is every one? I understand that there is a group on face book that is designed that if 5oo people join and leave 1 or 2 comments then I with get face book. GOOD LUCK!!!! So since most of you probably do not know me I will tell you some thing about my self. First of all I am dating the Best Person in the whole world!!! And her name is Lynnette Feijer!!!! She is so cool!!!! Second I am not all the cool for you to want me to join face book. Third I am one of the few straight music students at the University of Westren Ontaro. Fourthly I lead, out of all the people in my church, for having people band from my car (really I do not know why). fifthly (what was fifthly again?)(Oh yea!) I think face book is dumb and boring!! So that should be enough of a motivate to get me to join : )!!

But first of all above all others I am a Christian and I always strive to have Gods light shine through me!!!

I hope I have not board you all to tears!!! Have a great day!!!!

Joel Van Dyk signing off.

Hi everybody! I’m Joel’s blogging correspondent (and his big Bro-inlaw) Scott Slingerland. The big news everybody has been waiting for has finally happened. Joel Andrew Van Dyk and Lynnette Michelle Feijer are officially official. Joel did the deed on Friday night March 16th 2007. It is a relationship that has been blossoming for some time now and everyone knew that it was just a matter of time. I met with the two of them tonight and they seem very excited about the new affiliation with one another. Just to see the two of them gaze into each other’s eyes is enough to give you butterflies. On behalf of the Vineland crowd, I wish them all the best in their future endeavors together. Joel told me that he is totally psyched about the new bond and hopes that he can especially get to know her father on a more personal level. He wants to begin calling him “Pops” but is worried that it might be too early. I say “Go for it!!”.

2007-01-19T14:37:00.000-08:00

Well I’ve been told by Tim that I should post so you know what I will. School has been pretty slow but is starting to pick up (to bad). But I am actually exited because I actually get to do work. You know that most people have a few words that they say allot. In my case it is “pretty” such a pretty slow, pretty good, pretty bad and such the like. An other example is “any ways” I say that a lot. And have you every been talking to someone and as soon as there is a uncomfortable pause in the conversation and as soon as one of the people talking says "so" that about half the time the conversation is over, cutup, finished, and many other various degrees of ended. It is quite some thing what we can do with language. We and praise God we can curse Him too (that is not advisable) but some people do it. You can encourage some one or you can tare them down. These are only a few things that we can do with our language and subsequently our tongues. It is so true what the bible says about the tongue it is an unruly evil. Every one has herd tame the tongues well eazer said that done the most effective and simplest way to tame it is probably just to cut it off. But that is not on option i guess. But this post is very scatter brained and going no ware. So I will leave you with a question. Why do the numbers on phones go down while the numbers on calculators go up? Any ways Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to.

It seems that I have not posted for a long time but it has only been two days ( that shows how pathetic I really am). But you know nothing exiting has happened to me or because of me. today in a lecture I had around 150 people laughing at me because the prof had asked a question saying "who dose not know this song from the black eyed peas" I and a few others raised our hands then she looked at me and said " why do you not know the song" and I said in all sincerity because I have never heard it before. Now everyone thought that that was quite funny but I guess that you would have to be there. Talk to you later

2007-01-08T18:22:00.000-08:00

hi I thought the my blog looked pretty boring so I thought that I would but some pictures on to liven it up sorry of the crapy quality but because I do not have a digital camera I have to use to pictures that I toke with the web cam that is built in to my computer. So hear we go

that is me.
Not much to look at

Here I am extremely board at a Phyc lecture

There is my boring phyc prof
normally he dose not smoke it up in class

Tim and I being our unnormal selves

while we should be writing a esay for young peoples

Scott Tim and I just prior to me breaking my nose
(Lots of fun)

I have more pictures of my self but I would have people making fun of me for the rest of my life because they are very funny. Well I hope no one thinks less of me know that they have seen how ugly I can be but that redeeming point Scott and Tim look so much worse.
See bloging is such a big mistake I should be writing my first paper for the second term right now, so I will leave you with that note. Talk to you later

2007-01-08T13:22:00.000-08:00

Today was my first day back to school. OH BOY! do you ever get the sinking sensation and you start to ask your self what the heck you are doing? Well that is the felling that I had today and today is only the beginning of the first week of another term. I am generally a pretty stable not to many things get me exited or pull me down but today I am very depressed. But I am looking forward to the formal diner on Friday :) I can't wait. Any ways I was told a knock knock joke yester day and I thought that it was quite humorous so hear it goes

Knock Knock

No body
no body who
------------

Knock Knock whose there Duane
duane who Duane the bath tub I’m drowning

Ha Ha Ha Ha funny funny talk to you later

2007-01-07T19:12:00.000-08:00

I have a very funny story to tell you. Today Scott, Tim and I where acting very childish and we decided that it would be a good idea to make a move because I have a web cam built in to my computer. so the set up was Tim sitting on my char and Scott and I came from ether side of him and would proceed to attack him. So I grabbed him by the neck and chest and lifted him of the char a few times and Scott was hitting him. We than proceeded to get him off the char so he stood up and began to defend him self and after a few moments of a ly struggle Tim’s head and my nose collided with a great force that I think broke my nose. It was worth it I guess (not really). Any ways I hope I did not bore you with my story and I hope that my blog dose not sound cliquey. To all of you going back to school have a great week and good luck and to you who do not have to go back to school have a great week too. Talk to you later.

2007-01-05T14:46:00.000-08:00

you know what i make fun of people all the time. so to all the people that i have ever made fun of i am sorry. really and truly. one person that i make fun of the most though is my self. i think that is it good to be able to make fun of your self. like i am fat (which i am), i am also pretty dumb (which i am), and there are a few other things that i make fun of my self for. but this post is going no where so see you later

2007-01-05T11:11:00.000-08:00

YOU SEE. Starting a blog is such a waist of time. not saying that my time is more valuable then any ones else’s but I have all ready wasted 30 minuets of my time today that does not even include the time it took me yesterday to set it up and to play around on it. But enof complaining. You know that is all I seem to do, COMPLAN! And I think that it is not just me. A lot of people complain. Why? That is a good question Joel. I think that it is due mostly to our sinful nature. but also due to the fact that we all live in a we developed society where if one's car or suv has a spec of missing paint off of it they are first going to find that person responsible for the lack of pant on the vehicle and kill them and if that person can not pay for a paint job on the vehicle they them selves are willing to fork out exorbitant amount of money to fix a miniscule problem that no one will ever see. may be this is a bad example but in contrast of the people in 3rd world countries who have less that a car to sleep in and who have to struggle for there very existence and who would eat the scraps from a rich man table. Can you imagine what that would be like. It would be horrible!!!!!!!! No electricity, no car, no phone, no computer, no blog (to waist your time on), no nothing that we take for granite. thank the lord that we live where we do where the word of God is readily available, there are many churches even in a town that can not support very many stores, and thank God for the endless opportunities that he provides, such as schooling (which I should go just to learn how not to write run on sentences), end less job opportunities. Any ways I am going to end abruptly because I have to go. I hope that if you read this whole thing that it did not just sound like what we all hear all the time (if you know what I mean). Any ways I just made my self feel guilty because I am buying a car (it’s pretty nice). So talk to you later. Thank you for bearing with me and my horrible writing.

Joel

2007-01-04T11:01:00.000-08:00

you may be thinking: why in the world would Joel name his blog the Big Mistake? well i will tell you. because is started a blog. which in my case could be the biggest mistake of all time. WHAT HAVE I DONE. any was it is just after new years and i would like to thank every one who came to St. Thomas for new years and i would also like to thank every one who worked to make it a success. but know i have a funny story. yesterday Scott, Tim , and i went to wight Oaks mall in London and as we were walking through the hallways i decided that it would be a good idea to pretend to hit my head on a branch. well it would have been a good idea to pretend but to actually hit my head is not quite such a good idea. well you can probable see where this is going. i actually hit my head on that branch very hard. it sounded like i was knocking on wood but with my head. i was also planing to hit the ground but since i hit my head it made for a much harder landing than i anticipated. know i have a big red spot on my head that looks very funny. any ways i really enjoyed righting my first post that is why it is such a big mistake for me to have one.
