The Start of a New Series of Posts

I've decided to make my blog more interesting by making November TV month.  Although you may say, "Hey! Why am I reading this, why not just watch TV?"  Well you could, but if you had an idea in your head of what you wanted to watch first, you would enjoy it more.  And, you might not know about the best new show,  a bad show making a comeback, a good show gone bad, or a bad show, without any hope of improving.

If these things for some reson interest you, then you're in luck!  Keep reading to hear about a good show gone bad.

 A Good Show Gone Bad: Grey's Anatomy

The show started out as a good comedy.  However, with George's death, it made the gradual transition to drama.  Bad drama!  I still can't figure out why they did that.  Maybe they thought it was what modern audiences wanted.  It's not what I want to watch.  You should watch it to see for yourself.  Be sure to watch the early seasons, though, because they are actually good.  

 Well, now that I've got you bored, I'll go watch TV.  
 

This is my Best Post Ever! (hopefully...)

Although you may not know this, my stats have gone downhill steadily since the early days of my blog, only to spike in august. I still do not understand this anomaly, so I will conduct the survey I promised back in June. Here is the link; please do participate.

Go to Survey

Now, on to the amazing post!

Okay I lied.  This is going to be the most boring, drab, disgusting, revolting, unpleasant post to ever make you cringe, and say, "Why did I read this?!"

No, that is not the truth either; what will actually happen, is that I will show you a bunch of photos from my trip to Jinja, and make sarcastic comments about how much you must hate this post, even though, in reality,  you are reveling in its mediocrity.

My Trip to Jinja

The week before last, I went, with my classmates, to Jinja. (Bored already?) We started off waiting at school, for the buses.Then, after about an hour, we go on those buses, and began our drive. (I oppologise to your family, if my horrible post causes you to commit suicide.) 

This was after the first hour...

...the second...

...the third.

 Fine, I lied; I lost track of time after the second hour.  But- that's not important (Actually, none of this is, please stop reading, it's not good for you.) what is, are the pictures, and the incredibly boring captions.

The camp site we stayed at, nothing much to explain here.

After setting up our tents, we kayakad for the rest of the day.

My apologies for omitting a very important detail; the whole reason my class went to Jinja, was to kayak.

During the trip, we visited a school for poor children.

Well, it looks like I'm out of pictures, ( Luck for you...) so I'll just explain the rest now; we ate horrible food for every meal, for the rest of the week, kayaked every day, and drove back to Kampala on Friday

I would  say, "I've got to go feed  my cat" or something like that, but since I scheduled this post, that just wouldn't make sense. So, I'll just say,

The End.

P.S.: You may write as many horrible comments you like, it's really the only way for me to know if my earlier prediction is correct.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Sorry, this post was supposed to be published on September 19 Th, but I forgot to schedule it.  Also, I haven't made any new posts until now, because my mother has been saying that I need to focus on school.  To solve this problem, I will make a sort of buffer of scheduled posts, coming out every Monday at 12:01/1:01  central.  You will be pleased to know that I already have two weeks worth of posts scheduled.

My Blog has a Mascot!

    Did you notice the picture of the red panda at of the top of my blog?  It is my new mascot.  That's really all I'm going to say about it, but just one more thing, his name is Ling.

   Now on to a more annoying topic; tomorrow is my first day of school, I'm obviously not excited.  I'm especially not excited about the fact that I have to wear a uniform.  It's a really ugly one two.  I don't really care to have a lot of people who otherwise would not see me in it see me wearing my uniform, so at least for now, I will not include a photo.

   

    If I remember correctly, I promised photos of my house, and yard in my last post. Well, here they are.

 I got this cool thing at a local craft market, it' soapstone and
is all one piece.

(piece of junk)

Our patio, nothing really to explain here..

Another yard picture

Well, I think that's about all I have for you right now, except for these things:

• Please share this blog on face book.
• I'm working on making a calender to inform people of when my posts are going to be published.

I've got to go feed my cat now...

I Fianally Made it to Uganda

   My first post was about how I was moving there, and I am finally am here.  I had to fly for what I am pretty sure is a total of thirty hours, including layovers and time when the plane is on the ground.  Also, I had my dog and my cat with me.  My mom says she is going to consider flight time when deciding what place to move to.
  
    Now, I know what you are asking, "Where are the pictures?!"  Well, here's my excuse; I forgot to take some.  Don't worry, I will include pictures of my house in the next post.

  Old Stuff:

1. I still don't have a good ending, please send me one.
2. Don't forget to talk about my blog on Facebook.
3. Follow my blog to know when I make a new post.

(Ending would go here.)

P.S.: You are welcome to write about how much this post sucks in the comment box.

What's the Deal with Mary Kay

    Is Mary Kay any different than the thousands of other cosmetics  brands out there.  Sure they may have have a few good product's, but don't all brands have one or two that they claim are the best in the world?

    My mom says that they are different because they only sell through their female associates, so male owned department stores don't make all the money, and the women get it.  Well, I think that they are very sexist.  I have never heard of a male Mary Kay seller.  I wonder if they would actually hire a man if he applied.

    Finally, they aren't even an organic brand, so they really don't have anything special about them.  (Of course, no one really gets excited for organic cosmetics.)

    If you have any ideas for why everyone gets so excited for Mary Kay, please write a comment.

P.S.: I still haven't got a good ending...
(Second ending would go here.)

P.P.S.:Don't forget to tell your friends about this blog!

Maine Jokes

For lack of a better topic, (and because my friend sent them to me and he has been sending me stuff to post on my blog since I started it, and I kinda feel bad for never posting his stuff until now,) I put up these Maine jokes.  Most of them aren't very funny, but a few are; enjoy!

You Know You're in Maine:

If you own more than four pair of gloves.

If every other vehicle is a 4X4.

If camping is allowed it's only in steel sided campers.

If, when the sun goes down, you start looking for your coat.

If in March your vehicle is 43% mud.

If you leave your keys in your car and the next morning your car is still there.

If you're on the shoulder of the highway with your hood up and somebody stops to help you.

If you can pay for six big macs with a personal check.

If drive by shootings only occur on the evening news.

If your central heating system is fueled by large logs.

If you see numerous chauffeur-driven dogs.

If you can see the stars at night.

If people drive 100 miles to shop in a real mall.

If a deer throws itself under your wheels.

If you got a set of new snow tires for Valentines day.

If more than 1/2 the meat in your freezer is moose.

If the term "chill factor" is part of your daily vocabulary.

If the bumper jack in your pickup will lift a house.

If you only paid $5 to cut down your own douglas fir christmas tree.

If you enjoy a hot chocolate more than you do a margarita.

If a girls basketball game fill's the school gym.

If you put the car heater on your list of best friends.

If you pawned a snow blower instead of a set of golf clubs.

If dressing up means wearing a tie with your flannel shirt.

If you think you're in a traffic jam when you're in the second car at the light.

If you don't use your blinker because everyone already knows where you're going.

If your long john's don't come off until mid-May

Funny Animals

This cow is really bored!

 I randomly decided to make a post completely about funny animal pictures and videos.  I hope you find them as funny as I do.

Yes, I have included this picture in a previous post, and so I will not explain it again.

I wish my cat could do that!  I heard you can train cats to flush toilets  by placing meat on the handles, but Oasis still uses a litter box...



Well, It looks like I've posted as much annoying/mildly amusing stuff as people can stand in one post.  Now I would end this post like I have countless others by saying I have homework to do, but school's out.  I'll have to come up with a new tradition for ending summer posts.  If you really want to, you can give me some suggestions in the form of comments.

(Ending would go here.)

PS: I'm conducting a survey about my blog soon, so you can start figuring out how you are going to hack Google docs and mess with my results now.

(Second ending would go here.)

Prodject Citezen

I think that project citizen may just be the worst mass school project yet.  In case you don't know what it is, project citizen is a program to get students involved in government by having them change a public policy for the better.  Seems like a good idea, right?  Well everyone seems to, except students, and most congressmen.  It ends up being one of those things that has a deadline that gets pushed farther and farther back, until, it is finished very sloppily two weeks from the end of school.  Then, it is sent into the VA general assembly so they can tell us how sloppy we are.  Oh, I bet you thought it was only in Virginia; well, it's taken hold of about 20% of middle schools across the country.

On a less annoyed and infuriated note; if you enjoy reading my blog, chances are, others will too.  If you want to share the wonders of my blog, you can use the buttons at the bottom of every post.  There is a button for most popular social networking sites.  You could even "Blog This" 


Coming soon: a Facebook "Like" button, so you can "Like" my entire blog, not just put one post on your or a friend's wall.

Random Photo I Took

For lack of a better topic, I decided to take one somewhat interesting photo from my computer, and write about it.
    This photo is of the grisly bears at the Bronx Zoo.  I took it while I was visiting my grandmother who lives in the greater New York area.  If you really need to know, it took me around 20 tries to get the perfect photo of the bear standing up.
   It's kind of funny how cute and cuddly the bears look, because the sign said they could rip your head off with one swing of their claws.  Also, notice how muscular the bears look.
    Sorry, would write more, but my mom says I have to go do my homework.  But- one last thing.
I'm planning a photo contest.  There will be no theme, just be sure to include either animals or really interesting plants in your photo.  Also, no pictures of gastropods will be accepted  I will post and email (to followers and the Morrill group)  instructions for entering in the next week.
    Now, I really must do my homework.

Mythbusters

This video was made for a contest, it's pretty obvious.  Please don't email me telling me how stupid I look, I know already.  The narrator is my 6th grade science teacher, Mr. Lands.

Be sure to watch the whole thing, about halfway through, someone breaks a beaker in the middle of the filming.  It's really funny, because Matt just barely manages to keep a straight face and keep talking.
Enjoy the video!

Rats... They're Getting Stronger

Just when you thought you had rats under control, there's a new pest out there... iron rats!  They can bench two springs!

Sorry, can't write more, gotta do my homework.

Anual Easter Candy Yelling

Well, it seems that at my house, every Easter,my mom ends up yelling more than usual.  I have found a connection to candy, and I would have found it sooner, but I almost never listen to what my mom says in her constant wall of nagging noise.   My conclusion, based on all of my observations, is that she doesn't like it when me or my sister binge on candy when we get a lot of it.
Well, that's all for now, my dad is about to yell at me for writing a blog post when I'm supposed to be doing my homework...

PS: Sorry for the large gap in posting; in the future, I will try to be more punctual with my weekly posts.

Okay, now I really have to log out...

Amazing Picker-upper

It's crazy how the weird device in the video can pick up and deposit mayo and other condiments.  What's really amazing, though is how badly the metal spatula failed at picking up what the device picked up so easily.

Cherry blossoms in the Snow

 Many people in and around DC thought spring had come early; well, they were wrong, it hasn't.  Even the flowers got it wrong.  It's really too bad that the snow fell right when all the flowers were blooming, especially the cherry blossoms, but it did male for some really good photos.

   Maybe , the flowers will bloom again, at the normal time.  Then, the cherry blossom festival will actually have cherry blossoms.

The meteorologist said it would be more "conversation snow" than actual snow.  I think he was right.  We only got about 1", but the timing...

I decided to write a poem:

Cherry blossoms,
Pink, red, and white,
Dusted with white.

Blossoms,
Killed by the white,
Just might,
Bloom again.

Pretty good, don't you think.  I know, white and might technically don't rhyme.
That's all for today, I need to do my homework that my mom thinks I'm doing right now.

Legos!

This is the biggest lego ball contraption ever built.  I suggest you don't watch the whole thing. (It's long.)

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Nathan Russel has won the jelly bean contest!  If you want to know what the words are, click the link.
Answer
If you don't want to see the answer, don't click the link.

Words in the Jelly Beans

Yes, I did make it grainy just so it will be hard for you to find the words.

If you look real closely, you will see some words in the jelly beans.  I am holding a contest to see who can find them first.  When you find the words, email me with them.  Make the subject "(your name)-jellybeanswordcontest"  The only text should be the words that are in the picture.

Happy Headaches!

Awesome Video

If you hate Justin Bieber you will like this video.

High School Musical

I joined the stage crew for my school's musical.  It is high school musical.  I really don't have a job because they allowed too many people to join.
I would write a longer post---but I'm bored already.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO MESS UP THE ONE SONG EVERYBODY KNOWS?!

    I am pretty sure everybody knows how Christina Agulara messed up the Star Spangled Banner.  I understand she was exited and unable to concentrate, but when she made a fake apology, well that is what everyone is talking about.
     When she made a statement shortly after, she just made excuses!  She didn't say anything that would hint admitting fault, she didn't even say "I'm Sorry."

Watch the video.







  Also, she looked very weird while singing.

Please comment!

I'm going to Uganda!

I found out I'll be moving to Uganda in the fall. Don't know where it is? The link:
Uganda
(Once you're in the map, you may have to zoom out.)
Posts may be a little slow until this fall. If you really  to know what I'm up to, call me at my house in Virginia until this summer, then you can try camp. (Or just forget about it!).
