new monitor

My dad got a new monitor and he is using it right now in my room so i am blogging in his office with my monitor. he got a new one because his broke but the new one is soooooooooooo good. its a 22 in. Its HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!! Its such a good picture with it too. I wish i could keep it. The problem though was that he had to pay an extra 16 or so dollars for a dumb recycling fee! Can you believe that. A recycling fee. Its ridiculous. But i don't think he is going to take that monitor back because it is so good. I'm just waiting for him to be done so i can play Spore.

The Jaunt

Yesterday i was talking to my dad about portal and he said that Stephen King wrote a short story about a portal and it is called The Jaunt. He said it was about this scientist who invented a portal and sent criminals into there from LA to New York. And it was instant to the people who saw the person come out, but to the criminal who went in it took a long long time in nothingness and they would come out crazy. I like Stephen King books and that's why he suggested it. So we went and got a book with a bunch of short stories in them and another short story packed Stephen King book and a book called The Wise Guy. 

Portal

My dad got my brother this game called portal because he heard it was a really great game. My brother of course played it first then i played it later and it was an awesome game. I thought it was going to be all boring and stuff because the whole thing pretty much is going through portals  but in like the beginning of the game you get a portal gun. You can shoot your own portal with it to beat the levels. And not all the time are you supposed to go through the portal. You have to get things through them. I can tell that the game is definitely going to get complicated. But the harder it is the funner it will be, maybe. I just hope it doesn't get so hard that it makes me frustrated. But the game is really fun.

Band

Well the band I'm in wants to do a new a song. and I suggested Free Bird last time but they said the guitarist probably wouldn't want to do it. I also suggested The Number Of The Beast and I don't  remember what he said about it. But the teachers in the band compliment me on how good I do on the sing every time I go to the practice which is ever since I signed up on the scheduled week. The band is really good and we did a rocked out version of Let It Be. It was pretty funny but cool.

My Poem

I had to write a 15 line poem for my English class and this is the poem.

The slow sloth

slips on slimy

snail scum

blushing and

blabbering about

buzzing bees

on branches

breaking bones

racing down

rusty,rocky

roads to escape

notorious

nasty

nets to

survive.

Universal Studios

I went to Universal Studios yesterday with my mom and we went on the new Simpson's ride. They replaced it for Back to the Future. The Simpson's ride is so cool though its so fun. Maybe even funner than Back to the Future. So Simpson's was the first one we went on. Then we went on the Mummy ride. Then we went on Jurassic park. Then my mom i guess got a little dizzy and we took a break and ate some snacks. Then i don't know which order from there on but i think we went into that place where there are a whole bunch of balls and there are guns on the top and you can shoot people or the masks with it. We spent a lot of time in there. And i jumped through the rocket with water and mist coming down it when we left. Then i think we went and saw the blues brothers and they had really cool glasses that they didn't sell there. In the middle of all that we went and ate at the Flintstones barbecue and they had really good food. We had ribs and roasted corn and a stuffed potato. It was so good. And we took pictures with a bunch of characters. And i really wanted the glasses that the blues brothers had so i went and asked one of them where you get them and he said Chicago. Then he told us to stay there. We waited and he came back and got me the same kind of glasses. It was crazy. Then i took a picture with him. Then we ate funnel cake and i think that's it and then we left.

electricity bill

I just thought of something not concerning what i was thinking about writing about. So you get an electricity bill and you have to pay it by a certain time or you get an electric shock. Makes sense doesn't it. Oh well. So my mom got an electricity bill for about $170. EXPENSIVE! So i said that we have this power thing with like 10 outlets that are all used up to most of our electronics. We never thought of this but its always on. So i turned it off and we are going to do that every time we aren't using it. I want to see if it will make a difference, hopefully a significant one.

Rain

Well yesterday it was raining and i had to get to school but i didn't want to get wet and it was too late to walk which usually happens. I had to go ask a friend if they could drive me and of course they would say yes and they did. His mom actually drove us but huge also had spore. He said he was still on the tribal stage and I'm about to advance to the space stage and he has had the game longer than I have! Either he sucks at the game, or he just doesn't play as much as me. Well i did get my ride and then when we got to school the rain was pretty much over. But in the morning it was raining like crazy.

World of goo

I got to play world of goo yesterday. It is so fun. I started out with the same levels as my dad then I got further and the further you get in that game the funner it is. The levels though get harder of course. Well one is actually kinda easy even though past a lot of levels. It was just introducing the balloon ones to get up to suck your gooballs into the pipe. All the extra gooballs you get are sent to the world of goo corporation. In there you can build and build as high as you want. It goes on for infinite any way you go. Its pretty cool and it shows you how high other people got with the amount of gooballs they used. So there are 3 types of gooballs that I know of. There are the regular black ones, the red balloon gooballs, and the green gooballs that you can detach from one another. Its pretty cool.

World of goo

My dad just got world of goo on our wii last night. Its really cool.What you do is connect gooballs to get them sucked into the pipes and sometimes you have to get the sleeping ones. I haven't played yet, only my dad has but it is looks like a really fun game to play. Maybe ill get to play is my sister does good in school today and I finish all of my chores and homework.

False Alarm

I think there might be something wrong with my blog. You know how i made 500 posts, well it just now showed me that it was only 460! I mean 460 is still a lot but it told me i was on my 500th!!!! Maybe i read it wrong and thought it 499 when it was really 459 but it seems unlikely. I mean what wrong with it. Its either me or the computer. So i guess this means that this is my 461st post. This is so awkward. Oh well i guess we will have to move past this.

500th post

Wow i cant believe i have some this far. 500 hundred posts is what i have come to!!!!!!! its amazing. Maybe that means if you calculate it right that I've been posting for about 2 years to your knowledge. Its awesome and i just got done with a new program called blocks which you all have heard of. Its where you have a paddle and a ball and you have to hit the blocks on top to win by bouncing the ball off of the paddle. Its really cool. I still cant believe that i posted a hundred times.I can keep track because it tells me on the home page of the website when i log in. I think its just a great achievement. What about you?

Spore

Well i was playing Spore on the tribal level and when i told it to move it wouldn't move. It would only jump to that spot except way after i told it to move there. There something wrong and i don't know why but maybe its because i am the only one who is on tribal mode. But we will have to see and my guy is really strong but i know what i put on him and how to re-make that guy so I'm just going to have to start over on a new planet and click the tribal mode and re-make my guy just how he was before. But because it was messing up i decided to go on the creature creator part and make a couple things. I made a spaceship, and a car which i saved. I made a creature but didn't save him i don't think. The creature creator part is actually kind of fun.

Sister

My sister did good in school! I finally got to play spore again and i made it to the tribal part of the game and its so cool. But I'm just glad my sister did good in school so now everybody can be free to do what they want of course after we all finish our chores and if its appropriate. My sister finally got spy fox "Operation Ozone". Its kinda weird. My brother is also now allowed to play star wars force unleashed so he can play with me now. Everything is going just fine.

Sister

My sister had a problem with being good at school. She gets this sheet that has 3 different periods and it shows the warnings she gets. My dad started this thing on Monday where if she gets more than 2 warnings in each section, me and my brother and sister don't get to do anything for the whole day. Well it has only gotten worse and yesterday she turned her card which is really bad. If she gets more than 2 warnings today none of us get to do anything for the whole weekend!!!!!! Its horrible. I don't even think its a good plan. All of us have been trying to help her but it just doesn't work. I guess well have to see what she gets today.

Wrestling

I  just came back from the Royal wrestling matches. It was crazy. People started to bleed and stuff. I thought they were about to kill each other. That's how crazy it was! I saw my PE teacher there though. When i said hi to him he said "So do i have to give you extra credit now?" and of course yeah and he said OK. So that's pretty cool. But Royal won by a long shot. It was like 52 to 15. Royal is the best.

Band

I joined a band at Dave Janssen's School Of Music. They needed someone to play the piano for Let It Be. I already knew it so i was ready to play and i played it for them and i cant wait to perform with them. I haven't met everyone in the band but most of them. I think i just need to meet the singer.

New computer

I am typing this right now on my new computer and it is so fast and it has vista. It has cool screen savers and SPORE works on it! My dad says it looks better than on his own computer and that  its better. It came with a new keyboard and mouse and the keyboard is really easy to type on. my dad also got the new USB controller that i got for Christmas to work on spore. It also works to move the mouse around. Its awesome.

Cleaning

I had to clean my room and take everything off my desk. Everything is off my desk and on the floor. You can barely walk but yesterday i was working on it and i had to clean a spot so i could even make room to walk. It was crazy and i didn't even finish yesterday. I still have to today. I'm getting my new computer today and i guess my dad wants me to clean my desk to put it in the desk on the bottom. The problem is, the stuff that's on my floor, i don't know where it goes. Oh well, ill have to find a place.

Grades

I have to get my grades every Friday from school. They have been improving. My history went from a C to  a B already. Its good. I'm doing good. Improving a lot. I think I'm bringing my science grade up. I don't really know about Math though. Next Friday i need to check that out. My dad wants to know as well. Like badly we both want to know. Its definitely either a B or an A. Its probably leaning toward an A though because i do pretty good in that class. We will have to see though.

tracking

Well i have been waiting for my computer to come for a long time and have been tracking it with the tracking number my dad gave me. Whenever i look on it though its in the same place. New Jersey. I hope i at least  an update that its in a new place. I want it to hurry up and get here so i can play Spore. I think my dad is going to have to buy m a new graphics card because we both think the on in the computer he got me doesn't work for spore. But we will have to see.

Wii

Well my friend just got a Wii about 2 days ago and we put his information in our wii and gave them a lot of miis. its pretty cool to have a friend on the wii. We have our family member's wii numbers. You can send miis and messages back and forth to each other. Its so cool. They sent us some miis. I bet my friend is playing the wii right now. You can also send pictures and almost anything. Its awesome.

Spore

I got Spore for Christmas and i finished the deal where i finish half of my programming book to get a new computer that will support spore. We haven't got it yet but it works on my dad's computer and he played it last night. It is so fun except he was a herbivore. Its funner when you are a carnivore. I want to try to become an omnivore when i play but my dad wont let me play on his computer. Even when he isn't using it! I really want to play but i guess ill just have to wait until my new computer comes when he gets it.
