Party at the Campbells.
After Blake Edwards Webb died on Sunday: the 2nd of May 2010, I moved in with the family of Jackie and Bruce and Maggie and the brothers Cambells in Portland, Oregon USA. I lived at their house until the day I hopped on an Amtrak train to be a Relief Counselor & Program Staff at the Salvation Army's Camp Redwood Glen in Scotts Valley, California USA. A few days before going, Charlotte Battle let me pack my things from my apartment room 414 in the Alder Housing Apartment: 523 Alder: Portland, OR USA, or the address is something like that. I was able to pack my bags into her van and we stored them at The Salvation Army's Moore Street Corps church. After camp, we took my stuff into her house in PDX. I lived with Charlotte from July 2010 until June 2011 when I moved back in with my dad, where I was born and raised at 163 Rose Grove, Forest Grove, Oregon USA.
At the Campbells, we saw movies in the big screen. We watched the sitcom TV show the Big Bang Theory. We would play Wii video games, especially Donkey Kong and the New Adventures of the Mario Brothers where you can play four players at the same time.

Pocketball
Pocketball.
When I was 19 years old, in 2004, during my last year at the Forest Grove High School, home of the Vikings, for my required Senior Project, I invented a game, a sport, that is like pool with pool balls, similar to carpetball (gutterball), and I named it Pocketball. My church friend Paul Walker served as my so-called mentor, mostly to get me out to around Banks, Oregon USA to the farm house of the Hoefts out in the countries where we spent weeks constructing a 5 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 4 feet high of a table made of wood. I was taught about how to use power tools for screws and for cutting wood. I also had experience in wood construction from my Woods 1 & 2 classes in high school. I also had a welding class back in ninth grade in the year 2000.
I donated this Pocketball table to my Community Baptist Church in Hillsboro, Oregon. The pastor was Bill Gasser. They kept the table downstairs in a room near the youth group rooms so that the children and youth can play it. They kept the table there for several years. i am not sure what they did with it.

Sim City Millennium New Years
Sim City Millennium New Years
I missed the Millennium New Years of the year 2000 while playing Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) based video-game Sim City, which was made in 1995 for the SNES.
I use to see cousin Nathan Williams play this game at their house in Warrenton, Oregon USA. Nathan is the son of my mother's sister. Nathan would use cheat codes that would give him millions of dollars for building super cities of all your heart desires.
On December 31st (of the year 1999, I believe), I was playing Sim City. I was going to stop so I could count down into the next millennium , but I lost track of the time and it already a new century and millennium and year.
I comedically thought, and may have said something like, "Oh well, I guess I have wait until next year, or I mean until next decade, or I mean next century, or next millennium, and then I will be ready."

Home-School Club at Skate World
Me & my family were part of a home-school club since I was around 3 years old, and we would have events, field trips, activities, that will stand the test of time, especially the skating nights that we had at Skate World, in Hillsboro or Aloha, Oregon, which occur mostly in the year of 1998 I believe.
I improved my skating skills at these events, but did not attempt roller-blades until later I think, and I first tried ice skating in Hawaii in 2007 or 2008.
I first tried skiing with my Hillsboro youth group at Mount Hood in the year 2001 or 2002 or so. The youth pastor was Ryan Cruz.

Softball
Softball
I played on a softball team when I was 7 years old. They had the ball on a stand. A few times, they lightly toss the ball to me. I rode my bicycle to the games at Echo Shaw elementary school in Cornelius a few times. Sometimes it rained.

Mike & Kyle Vanderzanden
Mike & Kyle Vanderzanden.
In 1988 or 1989, when I was 3 or 4 years old, Mike & Kyle Vanderzanden moved next door to us to unit 162, Rose Grove, Forest Grove, Oregon USA. They had a small loud-barking dog named Quincy that I was always scared of. He lived from like the 1980's until 2005 or so. I was friends with Kyle until like 2008 or so. His dad (Mike) had at least one divorce and was drinking. Mike was raised Catholic but then he asked Christ to save him in the year 1994 or so. Mike would take Kyle to church and to Creation Fest sometimes. Kyle liked the song Jesus Freak by DC Talk I think, but Kyle may not be Christian, but his dad, Mike is. I never really talked to Mike until the past few years. I started going to church with him in 2008 maybe and then 2011 and 2012.
They had a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). I saw bits and pieces of the film Indiana Jones. They had cable for a few years. Kyle had a arcade machine in his room. It was classic. We would play hide and seek. Sometimes, one of us may hide on the top of the arcade machine or in the closet, or in the bathroom, or behind the couch, or under the bed in his dad's room.
