There was an assembly a few days ago about national African rights. I got to run the sound panel and control the volumes. So if the entire system started squeaking and feed backing I would have to fix it. It was fun because I love technology and everything was hooked up to the sound panel except the instruments. I also got to position the microphones and that was fun as well. I hope that we have another assembly so that I can run the assembly so that I can do that again. Also I think that the people did a good job on the assembly and that they put a lot of effort into it.

I have to write in the present tense for my grammar homework. I never write in the present tense because I never need to so I have no idea if I am right. I really have no idea what the heck to write about so I wrote about the TV show I was watching.
I am in the mountains at an arctic training camp preparing to go to the north pole. My friends arrived and our instructors walk to us. They are teaching tactics in arctic exploration and how to be prepared. Next I am watching my friend teach my other friend how to ski. He went down the slope and his ski has come off. He now is going in a circle crashing into the people on the ski tow rope. After that I watched my friend be pushed into water that is as cold as in the north pole. It is awful and so that as a unit we had passed that test and so we moved to the next task. They are teaching us how to erect a tent, but the tent started blowing away and so we are at the coffee shop instead. That is as much as I need to write here. We were at the LEGO robot championship this weekend. It was really fun, but as usual they were running late, (as usual, the people there would probably be there until 8:00 at night because it was supposed to run until 6:15 and they were running really late). So instead of waiting to see if we got an award, because we probably didn't, we went to Yogurt Lab instead. Then we came back to my house and we played TF2. It was fun! We made an impenetrable wall that no one could get through to the intelligence. We had Nate as pyro with a dispenser for infinite ammo so he would torch anyone in disguise couldn't get through. Then there were 5 sentry guns guarding the door and the area inside and outside the room. And finally there were 5 dispensers that were keeping us supplied. It was fun.
I still have no idea on what to write about so I am writing about Top Gear and they currently are looking for the source of the Nile River. Right now they are driving on a road made of gravel in 1500 pound, (English currency not the weight), estate cars. They turned their cars into houses because they are in Africa and they don't have good hotels to stay in. No they are camping and Hammond who doesn't like insects has 20 some bug machines around his car. Also he was the one cooking and all he could cook was beans.
"What's for breakfast?" "Beans" And already there are problems with the cars. Jeremy's BMW has a broken hose and now they are fixing it. I know that this post really isn't that original but I don't have anything else to write about so it is good enough for me. Besides the people on Top Gear are finny and are always messing up. Like in the Bolivia Special when they camped on a road. Stuff like that. My friend Jake wanted to me to write about him so I said yes. What I have to say is that Jake is a cool guy who is good at hockey and is funny. Also he has supposed telepathic powers with Blaise. (If they are real or not I don't know but they do a good job with them.) Jake is on a hockey league and he is pretty good. He also likes other sports but hockey is his favorite. He has cool hair and he is kind and fun to be with. He is a good friend to have.
I have already run out of ideas. This usually happens by now and I am not surprised that it has. So whenever I do anything for a journal, it doesn't matter what it is, I have one of these posts. I now have to start this all over again because the crappy builder has just crashed and it has lost this post. So now I am going to talk about stuff, yep stuff. Now my mom is making food because she just got home from her workout. My dog Evee is sitting there trying to get some but she won't. Now mom is eating the food. Now that I have enough written, I can be done. I hope that this time I don't have to restart again because there's a crash.
I think that we should get our own choice of books that we have to read and what classes we have to take. Right now we are reading To Kill a Mocking Bird and I think that it isn't so great. Also when do they ever kill a mocking bird? There should be a list of books that students come up with that the teacher approves, (the teacher has to be reasonable), and then 4 are left. You then choose one of the four. They you get you parent to sign the paper that says you read the book and that's all. Reading shouldn't be a punishment because if you are always saying, if you don't do this you get an F, that isn't good. Kids won't want to be reading because it is seen as a topic for school and not for fun. Also there's no worksheets except the one that has a paragraph that you write as a summary, and your parent signature saying that you read the book. Other than that you shouldn't have big book reports because then reading is seen as a foreign topic from school that no one likes. Also ALLOW FICTION OR ANY KIND OF BOOK!!!!!
I had to write a short story for school so I decided to put it on here:
This story is about a guy named Billy Cole Wagner. Now Billy isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, or the brightest bulb on the tree because all he did was buy video game money. But before we get into all of that, let’s give you the details of him. He is a 58 year old man who likes to wear size 21 high heeled red shoes. Everyone but his mom is dead so he lives in her basement. He is a single, 5ft 7 man with long gray hair, blue eyes, and ragged clothes. The only nice things that he owns are an iPhone 6+, and beats headphones. The reason everything is so beat up is because he only spends his money on video game money. His job is panhandling on the street, and his mom is too busy working to kick him out of the house. Also he is a lazy, boring, and clumsy. He doesn’t take any better care of himself than he does of his possessions. He doesn’t have a favorite food, he likes anything that he can find that’s edible, also he has never read a book on his own, and all his habits are bad ones. People think of him as a lazy bum, but he has one secret. He did the laundry, took out the trash, and bought food…….once. So as you can see, not too bright. Finally one day Billy’s mom had had enough. She said that she had calculated how much rent he owed her after living there for 33 years after she said he needed to leave. The grand total of his rent was $336,600. She said that he needed to leave in 2 weeks and pay the money otherwise she would take away his phone. So Billy needed a job. He got help on a resume, printed it, and went to jobs he was interested in. This was his resume: Hi! I am Billy Cole Wagner. I am 58 years old and looking for a job. I like to play on my phone and do stuff. I am a sort of experienced pan handler and other than that I don’t have experience. HIRE ME!!! The interviewer looked at the resume, and then asked “so can you give me an idea of what you think about working in I.T.?” And Billy said “what’s I.T.?” The interviewer then asked “what do you think is appropriate for hours and wages?” “$336,600 an hour for one hour.” “Get out.” So after that failure he then decided that he would become a piolet and he would take a flying lesson. After the plane exploded and he floated down to the ground, on the only parachute that the piolet would have used to save them both, he left and decided to sell his parachute. He then used the money, which was $100,000, half on his phone and half on lottery tickets. The then got a billion dollar winner, paid back his mom, and then bought a house and life essentials. With the money that was left he decided to split it 50/50. 50% went to the bank in a savings account, and the rest to his in game money. The End My favorite genre is defiantly fiction. I love that anything can happen and no one can say no. I was asked to do this for school and I really do like fiction. I also think that realistic fiction, and science fiction, and nonfiction that relates to the world that I am interested in is good to. But the entire category of fiction is really good in general. Most non-fiction is really boring and dull so I really like fiction better.
I went to the St. Paul winter carnival at the state fair grounds today. They run multiple events throughout the city, the one we went to had a slide, giant snow sculptures, classic fire trucks, a maze, and a treasure hunt. I had a good time and so did my mom and brother. I really liked going there and that was only one of the little events that happens in the 2 month span of the carnival. (It runs from January to February.) I suggest that you go to one because they are fun!
So I have the Windows Surface. It does everything that I need it to do, and much more. I really like it because it can do all the stuff for school, home, after school clubs, it runs Flash Player so I can watch and play a lot of stuff on the internet. It also costs a fraction of what an iPad costs. The only thing is that since the operating system is degraded it doesn't run PC apps or games. I don't really care though because I can find some stuff on the windows store that I can use. Also I don't use it for gaming. It works really well I like it and you should get one.
So we had to get a quote for school. Here's the quote I chose: (note, this is the same reading as yesterday, AGAIN,) "The other boys chased me from one corner of the playground to the other. They pushed me down, buried me down in the snow until I couldn't breathe, I thought I would never breathe again." (grade one) So I have to back this quote up with stuff too. So here's what I said: I chose this quote because a lot of certain people, especially those who are of a different culture or race, face this all of the time. This is like them constantly bullying people and the struggles that they face. Also I said that a better name for the passage is The True Indian Education.
So we did this thing for school and we had to do a reflection for it in your journal. So since this is my journal I decided to put it on here. So what I think is that this pretty accurately describes what people who have colored skin faced and sometimes still do face today. The bullying and the discrimination from other people and teachers. Also the problems they face after school. I also think that, depressing as it is, this story, even though it is fiction, it is very realistic. The passage was titled Indian education.
You know how I said that in my last post that it was the last one? Well I was wrong, I am going to use this website again for school in 8th grade now. Oh boy, more typing. But it sure beats the other 2 alternatives, text of the week, (where you read this thing and then respond to it and you have to do a mix of this and write a pageboy this and do notes on this and that,) and regular writing in a journal, which I don't like because I don't like writing and I like technology a lot more.
This is the last post I am going to ever put out on this site! Thank you for following me and please continue on my other website: And just for the heck of it sense this is the last thing for a school assignment I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE I'M DONE
Steam got rid of our favorite Garry's Mod Addon. Space Build 3. It sucks because that thing was awesome and now we can't play with our spaceship! The reason they got rid of it was because someone uploaded it without the original publisher's permission. There are some things that really need to get rid of but they don't. Why don't they focus on those?
My classes are going great! We turned in our Spanish text books, we are watching The Book Thief instead of English lessons, and we are watching 42 instead of Social Studies. It can't get any better. Except, wait, it could. The school could get an air conditioner and make the movie viewing cooler. But you don't usually get hot when watching a movie so yeah. It's nice now.
I can't wait until tomorrow! It's when this is due so I can't wait! This should be one of the last grades of the quarter. The classes have gotten easier and easier. It's great! Listening to the Yogscast while doing this. A Minecraft Christmas, How do I Craft This Again, Diggy Diggy Hole, Kicky Kicky Flow, and a bunch of other ones! Three more posts until the end of the site.
I want to get a webcam for down here for the basement computer. I just looked and they are crazy expensive! Some of them are around eighty dollars! But that was a pretty nice one. It was a Logitech HD 1800P widescreen camera with a stereo microphone for it. It was pretty cool but pretty expensive!
Today I was mowing the lawn and it looked like it was going to rain. There was lightening and thunder. I had finished the lawn and was blowing some leaves into a pile when my mom came out and said that I shouldn't use a leaf blower in a lightening storm. As soon as she did and I had gone back to work there was a rumble of thunder and it started pouring! I ran for the house. I am still wet.
The last reading log of the year was turned in on the twenty eighth. I am so glad that that is over with. I love the fact of no more obsessive reading and projects for a few months. I have decided to hold off on reading over the summer so that I can save the good books for later. I think I will now play gmod.
We are playing this kind of cops and robbers game where I do something bad and Aidan has to find me. It's pretty fun too! I have never lost! It's pretty fun too! I can't wait to play it with him later! I have this car that can go 110 MPH with nitro boost and his is a bad one that can barely top 60 MPH. We are now moving over to a survival situation where we are going in for work and we find someth
I had a great time in Los Angeles. I went there to see my uncle become a captain in the U.S. Air Force. It was pretty cool too! I got to see my aunt, uncle, other uncle, grandma, cousins, and grandpa! It was really fun to see them and go to Los Angeles. One of the special parts of the ceremony is that my Uncle Brian was the person who granted my Uncle Alex into the higher rank. After that we went to Alex's apartment. His friends came over and then we all went to Rock & Brews. One of his friends drives a Tesla! It is one of those fully electric cars. It was so fun!
There's only 9 freaking days of school left as of today!!!!!!! It's super nice!!! Then I get to go to camp, play video games with my friend, play more video games, and have no work!! Nine more days! Nine more days!! I am also going to be able to stop updating this thing too!! June second is when it's due. Then I will put a redirect to my other blog so that I will focus on that one more. It's pretty nice. And the other one about my electronic life. I also have another site too. But I have to update this more though so it wasn't worth trying to update 4. I am doing this while watching the Yogscast and while talking to my friend on Skype. It really helps the time go by. I am looking at all of the old Trucking Tuesday footage. This one called Car Transporter Simulator and it is hilarious! The trucks spaz out and Lewis cries! The trucks flip over and fly in the sky while the sky box glitches. Then you land and flip over and stop and the relaxing music carries on with a windmill in the background.
