The Ceiling

Um... this, is a picture of my ceiling... It's white... and... it's been in my house for a long time... in fact, probably the whole time... and... um........................................................... that's it. I'm starting to get really desperate for things to take pictures of. Really really really really really really really really really really really really really really REALLY REALLY REALLY desperate. The updates I'm about to give you are not new... so go read some other persons blog because I highly doubt that my posts tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after, and the day after, and the week after, and the month after, and the year after are going to be any better than this. Updates: The computer STILL isn't fixed. I've finished 1/2 of the fourth Harry Potter book, I'm very good at aiming with my Nerf guns so you need to watch out. I have to go to the dentist today. It's cold outside. I just took some mountain-dews and put them in my dads car. I'm sitting down in a wooden chair. I'm on my moms laptop. I'm typing in orange letters...................................................................................................................... Staring at a computer screen with no drama is very boring so I will draw the symbols for a man-eating bunny and a man: first type: (\__/) then press enter and type: ( +.+ ) then press enter and type: (")_("). For the man, you type: o then enter then ^ or - or _ then enter then press enter and type ^. For body parts just type random symbols. That was my tutorial for how to draw a man-eating bunny. Or if you're not that violent, it can be a fish-eating bunny: <>< {}< []<~~~~ The end.

Helicopter Thing

I finally found the camera! Now I can make a semi-bad post and not an entirely bad post. So anyway, the thing in the picture is a cool helicopter thing. At first, I thought this was a dumb toy with a lever that just lifts the helicopter thing up. What really happens, is there's a motor inside the base of the helicopter landing thing with a rod coming out of it into the helicopter. When the motor spins around, the rod spins the propeller around and makes the helicopter lift up.
there is a lever on the other side of the base that I didn't show in the picture that controls the speed of the motor also controlling the height of the helicopter. There is also one other lever right next to the one I just told you about that controls the angle of the helicopter. When you pull it back, it lets the weight of the helicopter tilt it back making the helicopter go backwards. When you push it forward, it pushes the helicopter so that it tilts forward making the helicopter go forward. There are two poles next to the one spinning the propeller that control the pitch. When the helicopter lifts off, a small hook flips down. The helicopter came with two box shaped plastic things with loops on the top. If you can control the helicopter well, it's easy to loop these around the hook. But my favorite thing of all to do with it is to set up plastic army guys and knock them all down with it. I'd rather get a RC helicopter, but this was the cheapest thing they had. It was only $10 and it's usually worth it.

I have read the first 3 Harry Potter books and 1/4 of the 4th in the last two weeks. The computer still isn't fixed, we watched the movie Vantage Point last night, today is Wednesday, and I'm going to make a comic with chickens holding a sign that says Eet Mor Beef.

The story of Cukooman

Okaaaaaaaay... We can't find the camera that I use or any other camera that takes good pictures, so today I'm going to write a story that just pops up in my head and that I make up as I go along.

Once upon a time there was a man called Cukooman that lived in a town called Cukooville where everyone was cuckoo and didn't know what to do. One day, Cukooman came outside to take out the mail. Then he remembered that there was no such thing as mail in Cukooville. So he went and got in his car and drove to work. But since there was no such thing as cars in Cukooville, he was just pretending that he had a car. When he got to "work", he went inside and got some coffee and candy. Then he sat by his computer and played computer games. Then he went and got some more coffee and some more candy and played some more computer games until his boss came. He said: "I SAID THAT YOU HAD TO PLAY RUNESCAPE! NOT CLUB PENGUIN! AND I ALSO SAID TO DRINK DECAF COFFEE AND EAT WONKA CANDY!!!!!! YOU'RE FIRED!" So Cukooman went to the store and bought toys for his imaginary children and presents for his imaginary friends and water balloons for his imaginary enemies and games for his imaginary computer and a whole bunch of other stuff like paint for his imaginary house. When he got home, he painted his imaginary house but ended up spilling paint everywhere. He gave the toys to his imaginary children but they didn't even move. He gave the presents to his imaginary friends, but they just dropped them on the ground. He threw the water balloons to his imaginary enemies but they just bounced off of the neighbors house back to his face. So with nothing else to do, Cukooman left Cukooville and jumped into a dumpster. The end.

That's the story of Cukooman in Cukooville.

The Bookshelves That No one Ever Uses

This is a picture of the top three bookshelves in our house. It's not the complete picture because the bookshelves stretch all the way from one end of the room to the other. Anyway, people hardly ever go up here. The last time I remember coming up here was to get one of those beat up books at the top. (Wizard of Oz collection.) We go every now and then to get that ruler shaped like a T but otherwise, we hardly ever go up there. The closer you are to the bottom of our bookshelves, the more often you take a book from it. Probably because they're easier to reach. But I've also realized that the top books are more interesting than the ones at the bottom. We have a whole bunch of cool activity science kits that no one touches up there. The Wizard of Oz is pretty good. Basically ALMOST all the books up there are interesting while as you get closer to the ground, the books get less interesting. Like those books that say: "See the dog? Jane sees the dog. Yay Jane!" I mean, whats the big deal? That's all there is about the bookshelf. Here are the new things: I still don't like school, but since it's a Friday, I get a break after school! I'm going to play Runescape and do a whole bunch of cool, non-school things. I got hooked on Harry Potter after my mom said I have to read it... which proved me wrong. I've been in a bad mood lately due to lack of non-school things. My sisters are still annoying. All the kids that go to real school got a whole bunch of candy yesterday. The math I'm doing right now doesn't make sense. I have to do a book report after I finish Harry Potter which ruins the whole fun of reading which is the ONLY reason that I don't like reading. I'm learning Runescape songs on piano. That about covers everything. The end.

The Drawer Of Junk

It used to be the TWO drawers of junk but after I cleaned my room we had to cramp everything into one. Once upon a time I had a whole bunch of junk and I didn't know where to put it. I found a drawer and I put the junk in there. The end. This drawer has a lot of junk in it. Some of it is: Cool rocks, building cardboard pieces, cap gun and ammo, skateboard book and skateboard wheels and a whole bunch of stuff that I made a long time ago. I got the cool rocks from school. The school I used to go to had woods behind it. In the path between the woods and the school was made up of a whole bunch of weird shaped and looking rocks. Some of the coolest were concrete with really smooth and shiny surfaces like glass on the top. You can see one of these from it's side up against the wall of the drawer. There were a whole bunch of others that I put inside bags but my favorite one was when just by luck, I found some small purple birthstone on the ground that I don't know how to spell but sounds like "amithest". The building cardboard pieces are from a Klutz book. Each cardboard piece has notches on the side of them and you can connect them like that. You can make cool castles and other things with them. I got the cap gun from a dollar store and along with it I got it's ammunition. (You can see a whole bunch of it all in that bottom left corner.) When I got my skateboard a long time ago I changed the wheels so that they would be better for our bumpy driveway. I put the old ones in here. There are some marbles in here too from this pack of marbles that I got from the dollar store that came with over 100 marbles. There are a few Lego's and shoelaces and ropes and other things that I haven't touched for a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time.

My Cats

The reason I didn't write about this yesterday is because my sister didn't let me. But since I don't have anything else to write, I did it anyway. This is a picture of one of my cats. I have two but It's too much trouble to put pictures of both of them on. This is our cat that we got a few months ago. Her name is Sham. Our other cat, was born ten years ago I think and we've had him as long as I can remember. His name is Sam. We got Sham when one of my dads friends gave her to us. She was three months old when we got her. We really used to have about six cats. Maybe more or maybe less. One of them died after she slept under my dads car, and all the others were bad and got sent away or something. I really don't remember. We only kept Sam. Sam is a yellow tiger-cat or that's what I call him. He has light orange stripes on his body. He is lazy but an outdoor cat but he sometimes sleeps inside. He doesn't use a litter box like a lot of cats and he's big, fat and heavy. Everyone likes him. It was completely unknown that we would get a cat named Sham, but we did. She is a black and white cat and she's also crazy. If you mess around with her, sometimes she will bite or scratch. Sometimes she will just lick you. When she's not messing around, she's either sleeping or grooming herself. She was an indoor cat when we got her, but she's slowly turning into an outdoor cat. She rarely lets you pet her and meows when you don't let her do what she wants. At first, we gave her cat food meant for little cats but it turned out that Sam was eating the little cat food and Sham was eating the big cat food. We just took the little cat food away because it was too expensive. Sam and Sham are always fighting for the most comfortable place to lie down. Sham chooses the computer chair most of the time and Sam usually chooses my bed. Whenever they both happen to want the same place, Sam gets there first. Sham is always doing weird tricks that no one understands on him. Once this happened: Sam was in the computer chair. Sham wanted it so she tried to scratch him. Each time she tried, Sam scared her away. She ran away and a few seconds later, came back. Eventually she got tired of this and went to the other side where Sam wasn't looking. Then she just went where she usually went and attacked instead of the side where Sam wasn't looking. The end. Sham usually follows anything that moves. She also likes things that make noise. Once my sister was randomly moving her hands around in front of her and it looked like they were playing miss Mary mack. Sam has been getting into fights with cats around the neighborhood lately and has also been getting all scratched up. Sham has also been getting herself lost for up to three days and coming back without us noticing. They are very very weird sometimes. The end.

Science Fiction

This is a picture of a box of science-fiction books that were my dads when he was a kid... I took this picture because there was nothing interesting to take a picture of. The only book I've read out of this was 20000 somethings under the sea. That's about all I know about it... I don't expect a better post tomorrow unless I get a really good idea or we get something new. Both which are very very unlikely. So here are some very boring updates on my life: School is getting very boring and all the subjects that I used to like I hate now because of the way we have to do them... There's really nothing to do because at the end of the school day since we can't play computer and there's nothing to do outside except for playing on the trampoline which gets boring after fifteen minutes. My sister finished her 3D puzzle and I've accomplished nothing. My sisters are extra annoying and I get in trouble twice as much for no reason. The computer still isn't fixed and we have five school days and two weekdays which is extremely unfair. Those are the interesting things. And about everything. There's really nothing else either so I'll just call it a day. The end.

My Board Game That I'm Going To Make Sometime In My Life

If you can read, which you obviously can't because I'm writing this sentence that's only supposed to be here if you CAN read, but unfortunately I wouldn't be putting it here unless you CAN'T read so you're basically just reading this very long sentence just because you want to and not just skipping ahead to the important parts. But if you CAN'T read you're doing good so far because there's no reason that you could read this when you can't read and blah blah blah blah blah. OK, so all of you who CAN read, should have read the title so those two first sentences and this sentence are just if you're too weird to read the title. So you're probably wondering why I took a picture of this board. Maybe It was because I wanted to. But that's my problem. Just kidding. The board is a Lego board that you can put Lego's on and It's also my game board that I'm going to make a game on some time in my life. The game is cool because everything I make up is cool and if you don't think I'm telling the truth, ask someone I know but since you probably don't know anyone I know, let's move on. You may or may not have heard of the game chess, but you only move one piece at a time. If it was real life, everyone would be moving like crazy. That's why I let the people in my game all move at once. But before I get to that, I need to explain the game first. Each piece is a 1x1 Lego piece and each person gets 50-100 pieces. Sometimes more. You might be wondering why I chose so many people. Here's the answer: How many people does one army have? You might say 1000, you might say 100, but you will certainly not say 20 or 10. So, anyway, you split them evenly into about five groups, and each "person" in each group will wear a certain colored 1x1 flat piece on them. This separates them from the other groups. Each army is colored differently so that you can tell those apart also. Each group has an extra Lego board as their "inventory" There are flat Lego pieces certain sizes depending on how big they are in real life. You can put these in the "inventory" The inventory is split into three groups. If only the first part is filled, the people in that group can move 3 spaces each. If two spaces are filled, they can only move 2 spaces each and so on. There are limited amounts of supplies that you can give your people but you can make more in certain parts of the game. You also have about ten horses. You can give these two one group and they can move six spaces each no matter what. Each person also has a small fortress. One person in the group can chop down trees if they have an ax in their inventory and anyone in that group can use the logs they get and exchange them for Lego pieces to edit their castles. You can also make boats to go across the river sometimes located in between the two armies. Trees grow back every four turns. You can go to rocks and mine them and then go to an anvil and a furnace and make new things for your army. When you move, you choose a group and get to move everyone in that group as far as they want as long as their inventory allows it. Before the game, which I failed to mention before, you can set up anyone anywhere as long as they're in that armies half of the board. Now we get to the cool part. You can call an attack from anywhere on the board (as long as your weapon allows it) and attack. The people with bows get to roll dice and if the dice read 1-3, they hit. If they say 4-6, they missed. Or you can just flip a coin. If someone is hit, they are removed from the board. If it's a sword fight, the person attacking has certain cards that say: Stab, slash right, slash up, and so on. He chooses one of these and shows it and before three quick seconds, the other player must choose a defence card. He can choose shield if he has one, but only once. If he blocks, then it's his turn and they do it in reverse. Whoever gets hit first, is removed from the board. Every ten turns, each person can choose one of their dead people back and put them somewhere on their half of the board. The rest of the game continues until everyone on the other team is dead, or if they surrender. There are a whole bunch of other extra things that will just confuse you more so I will let you rest and I'll continue making the game. The end.

Moby-Ball

Here is the list of sports I hate: Soccer, basketball, football, um, um, okay, that's it. Here is a list of sports I like: (some I've never played) Tennis, hockey, ping pong, base ball, capture the flag (Even though it's almost exactly like football.)
and Moby-Ball. I invented Moby-Ball and it's named after my nickname so that nobody can copy it. It's a trampoline game... a game that you play on the trampoline... you need the trampoline to play it... Do you understand!? So... Once upon a time we had a trampoline and it got really boring because we weren't allowed to do flips on it so I invented a game and named it after myself and everyone liked it and I want to play it right now because school can get really boring when you don't do educational stuff like playing. So this is how you play: You get a bouncy ball (Filled with air) about the size of a soccer ball but there'll be a lot of crying if it's as hard as a soccer ball. set it in the middle of the trampoline and make sure the net is fixed. (Unlike the picture.) Everyone starts at one side of the trampoline and tries to kick the ball over the net. (This would be a really dumb game if that was all there is to it.) Eventually, you will realize that you need pinpoint accuracy that not many people have if you want to kick it over the net. So everyone needs to start jumping. If your trampoline is like most trampolines, the ball should bounce in the air. Once it's in the air, you just need to aim your foot under the ball and kick it over any side of the net which you need accuracy for, but not pinpoint accuracy. But it tends to be harder than that... To have accuracy, you need to be balanced and have time... but since everyones jumping at different times, you may not have that. So you usually fall down which is why there's no tackling in this game. Here's an example: You are playing this game with a few other people and you guys finally manage to get the ball in the air... You run to it, but right as you're about to kick the ball over the net, someones jump throws you in the air and you miss the ball by a mile. This is another persons point of view: You and your opponents manage to get the ball in the air. Before you can, one of the others runs to the ball to kick it. You want to score so you sacrifice the ball in the air for your score. You jump and he does some crazy thing and kicks in the opposite direction of the ball. There's a time-out and everyone laughs. This game can be played in two versions. One: Every man for himself. Or Two: Teams. Every man for himself, if you haven't guessed already, means every person on the trampoline tries to score on their own. This is good if you have an odd number of players and you can't split them evenly for teams. Teams is just two on two or three on three or something like that so that you can work together. The end.

The Piano Book

This is a piano book... that teaches you how to play piano... that my dad gave me... that there isn't much to say about it. Oh, yeah, I forgot it comes with a disk too. It's made of cardboard and inside the cardboard is the disk and the book... The book teaches chords, piano keys, fingering, sheet music, blahblahblah, blah, and blah. So does the disk. You put the disk in the TV just in case you didn't know. I know how to do some different things now. Like play some song called Frere' jaques or something. I didn't really learn anything else because everything I need to know, I already know except for how to read sheet music. When I read sheet music everything will be fine. I already know the fingering, the notes, the blahblahblah, blah, and blah. So there's really nothing else to say... The end

The Mysterious Closet of Mysteries... With a special interview with the Lego dude himself!

This is the mysterious closet of mysteries (But I shouldn't have to tell you that if you're like most people... because most people are smart enough to read the title and know that this is a bad subject.). Anyway, I call it that because I only ever go in there if I'm cleaning up my room (I hardly look around even when I go in there.) and when I get extremely extremely extremely extremely bored. The first few things you see in there are a small box of Lego's, my brothers car, and an electric tool kit. Below is just a whole bunch of other toys. The only time I've ever actually looked for a random thing in here was years ago. I got to stay up late that night and I couldn't find anything to do. I simply went in here until I found the joystick* and a game for it**.
I also found a paint ball gun that was still in it's box and a paint ball mask. There's still a whole bunch of other things but haven't looked at them. Instead of looking here when I'm bored now, I look in the shed***.

*The Sidewinder joystick that I put in one of my posts.
**The game called Flight Simulator that I put in one of my posts.
***The shed that I put in one of my posts****
****You could just say everything I put in one of my posts.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I still have to do my blog more so I'm changing the subject since I'm finished with that other subject. Here is and interview with myself: How are you today? I'm doing fine. What is there to do today? Nothing in particular unless work counts. When is the next day that you are likely to do something fun? Probably at the end of the week. When is your next break? In about five-hundred hours. What do you do after school? Think about what I can't do and what I don't have. What do you do after school besides that? Nothing. What is your favorite sport? Proving my big sister wrong. What is your favorite REAL sport? Playing game consoles. What is you're favorite OUTSIDE sport? OOOOOOOOOOOOOOh.... That's what you meant. Nothing. What is the percentage that you will get the day of tomorrow? Oh, umm, probably 0.0000000000001% maybe less. What is the percentage that you'll like school any time soon? Zippo. What is your next Lego model going to be? A huge city and an atom bomb that I can drop on it. Who lives in this city? Lego people. Isn't that a little demented? No, because Lego people can just put themselves back together. When do you want this Q and A to finish? Now. When do you think this Q and A will finish? Never. If you could take a pill and never have to go to school again would you? Let me guess... Duh! If you met the person who invented school before he invented it, what would you tell him? I wouldn't tell him anything... I would give him a games console and he would make schools that teach how to play games. OK, the last and final question that you will never be able to answer... Do you like chewy candy or crunchy candy or powder candy more? Gee... I don't know... I kinda like them all. Probably chewy candy... cuz it's chewy. That concludes this interview. Bye! See you next time if there ever is one!

My Sisters New Monopoly Game

A few days ago, we went to the mall with my grandpa, my mom and my dad. We were allowed to get anything we wanted, as long as we had enough money. Personally, I didn't want to get anything but instead, save up for something even though I don't know what. My brother got a gun that shoots bubbles. My two younger sisters wanted wallets for some reason. My older sister got an awesome, modern time Monopoly game. I don't really like Monopoly because the money always gets in your way and you never know how much you have total. This one is different. It has credit cards instead. It comes with a calculator thing with two sides. One is where you put your credit card in and add money to it, and one is where you put your credit card in and take money out. (Of course they're not real credit cards.) There are also realistic prices. Instead of getting money around the thousands and the hundreds, you get money around the millions and the hundreds. You can also transfer money from one card to another. Some of the places include: All of the important airports instead of the railroads, the white house, Disney land, and a whole bunch of other cool things. The credit cards have bumps on them so that the calculator thing knows which card has been put in. The pieces for the game are: A baseball cap, a wide screen TV, a puppy in a purse, one of those two wheeled transportation things that I don't know how to explain, a box of mints, and I don't know the rest. For some reason though, the grownups don't seem to like modern age things. I don't know why.
