New Years

Yay winter is finally acting like winter!!!woohoo! I LOVE new years.Something about it.Maybe the confetti or the ambiance of the whole thing.:P so,Last year,my to friends Morgan and Indi came over for new years.When they first came we went down to my river/brook/stream thing and hung out.Then we played lots of  Mario Smash Bros Brawl and made videos and took pictures.We put on as many Mardi Gras necklaces and confetti and hats and anything else festive we could find and shoved it on ourselves. We all drank sparkling apple cider after the countdown with my mom and grandparents and Morgan's mom.Sparkling apple cider is my absolute favorite drink.It is kind of tradition for them to come over now so I invited them this year too,and Indi is coming but Morgan can not.Me sad :,(   well, we will be thinkin' of ya Morgan!

Peace out people! Happy new year! Later,

Parental Guidance

Last night I went to go see a movie with my friend called Parental Guidance.It was amazingly funny!there was some serious parts but there was enough humor too.The basic premise is that these two grandparents come to their daughter's house to baby sit their three grandchildren,Harper,Turner,and Parker while  their daughter goes on vacation with her husband.The family is super healthy and stuff but the grandparents are not so that results in lots of trouble.I would give the movie a 10/10.It is rated PG (haha).I brought a bunch of kit kats with me and they were almost gone once the movie started.One of the previews we watched looked really cool and it was called After Earth .I can't wait for that to come out.Anyways,Adios!

peace!

Presents for the people!

I miss Christmas already. :( I am excited because my two friends are coming over for new years and we are gonna have an awesome time!Well,I technically didn't get an answer on whether one of them ,alias "Morgan" (I've always liked that name),is coming or not.Plus the other friend,Indi, still needs to ask her mom. Eh,anyways, I got a bunch of cool stuff for x mas! I got an Eli Manning jersey (one of my favorites),some lego minifigs (I got the galaxy patrol dude!yes!),Chex mix( my favorite snack) a really nice sweatshirt,A bunch of candy canes,including a humongous thick one,and some snapbacks.Those were my favorite gifts along with a awesome African wild dog.I am not one of those kids who think they are cool just cause they bought something that says "DC" on it or are wearing a shirt with YOLO or some other quote on it ,I genuinely like snapbacks.I kinda love all hats.I have a cap,baseball cap,4 fedoras,a cowboy hat,a ski hat,3 wool animal hats (bear,owl,and T-rex),a wolf hat,and now two snapbacks.One ironically says "DC" on it.I also got a sign that says "wolf crossing" one it with a picture of some wolves for x-mas.My friend,lets call him Zach, came over yesterday and we had an awesome time!We played football and were tied 8-8 when Wes started whining and we started playing soccer with him.We played alot of Mario smash bros brawl.I like Ike and Bowser, they are my favorites to fight as.Bowser is my favorite Mario character of all time.He is so epic.I drew him once.His face is hard to draw.Maybe I will put him up on the drawings page on this soon.well,I this is a respectably long post so I probably have something better to do than keep rambling on and on and you probably have something better to do than read this so, Adios! Peace!!

X-mas

Man,I am so excited for Christmas!!I can't wait till Christmas eve.We always open all the presents from each other then,except for the ones from Santa or your parents or whichever you believe.Those I open in in the morning.I also like x-mas eve because we eat cookies or watch a movie and we used to go to a Christmas party at my friends house up the road but they moved farther away so now she doesn't have the party :( my friends birthday is some time this week (or was it last week?) (I will not tell you the actual date for security reasons or whatever) So let's wish 'em a happy birthday!!!!!!!

Happy birthday  Collin!

Free shrimp

My grandpa is retiring soon and he has worked at the company for 40 years or so yet no one at his work thought to organize a party.So I am throwing him a party here on my blog.WOO!

sadly there is no confetti or free shrimp.I don't have the application or whatever you need for confetti, and it is kinda hard to offer free shrimp via Internet :P

PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!
PARTYYYYYYYY
PARTYYYYYY!!!

i wish i could offer shrimp..............

Ouch

So, yesterday I was helping my grandpa put up the Christmas lights,and I showed him a forward roll type thing,because some kids I know are constantly doing them and I pulled a muscle.ouch.at least we got the lights up.I actually didn't  know how I hurt myself until I told my mom and she told me I probably pulled a muscle.Oops.:P So, yeah.It still hurts if I walk to fast or twist my leg a certain way.It is not that bad though.A couple days ago,I went outside to play soccer with Wes (yeah my dog can play soccer,he is pretty good actually.) and this unmarked white van comes in my driveway.My whole family is a bunch of worriers so when I told my grandma,she freaked and she had me lock the doors and bring Wes in.We heard the doorbell ring and waited till the guy drove away to see what he left.He turned out to be from office max.He had delivered something my mom bought.The next day,he came back while grandpa and I were setting up the lights and he was very nice.Last night, I had a weird dream.A bunch of my friends came over and when it was time to leave,I ended up literally a back seat driver.I was alone in the car and sitting in the back but under the seat in front of my was the break and gas petals.Then Indie appeared in the car and drove not much better than I was (which was horrible,I nearly crashed and I was in the wrong lane on the highway) then I woke up with a jolt.Weird dream huh?If you have bothered to read this far,thank you.This blog is basically for people who have nothing better to do than read about some random persons life (and for my relatives and friends I bug so much they read it.).I would like to think it is occasionally entertaining.Now I better go finish cleaning my room so,

Later,


    Poodle, Peace out! and i really would like some comments!

P.S Sorry for all the "i"s that i didn't capitalize,I am lazy and it takes to long

So bored!the sequel........

Yeah today was not the most exciting day ever and i have no clue what to right about.I also have a bunch of homework to do and i have to draw a cards for two of my friends and my grandparents.I love to draw,so every birthday in my family,my dad wants me to draw something for whoever.I also draw cards for christmas,which is what i should be doing right now.Actually,homework is what I should be doing right now.Crud,

later,

    Poodle, Peace!

Apocalypses and Ghost stories

Apocalypses scare me.I really don't think the world is going to end Dec.21(or whichever date they come up with next)I survived a "Apocalypse"already.Plus,what about leap years?My friend Colin said something about scientists unearthing another Mayan calender so we don't need to worry for a while if you believe the Mayans.So, there is this show on discovery channel called Doomsday Preppers were they show different people preparing for apocalypses.It is kinda funny.My friend Indi came over yesterday and we had a pretty fun time.We went to my stream and told ghost stories( it is kinda a tradition) for a bit,then went in and just built a fort then took it down.We went outside and played Hide and Seek (I had a really good hiding spot.)Then ate my mom's amazing tuna noodle casserole.It is really good.Amazingly good.Mmmmmm.............So hungry now.........Then we looked at old pictures we've taken and how goofy we were(and are).We made some music videos and looked at old ones then Indi's mom came so she left and I had nothing to do.

And NPR no less.....

So, there is this radio station called NPR and my grandpa listens to it alot.It is generally a good station (for a news station)I had the radio on a couple of days ago, and I heard them interviewing a guy about wolves.Today a minute ago,I read about the same conversation on a blog (howlingforjustice, see blogs I like)I remember the interviewer saying something about wolves as trophies,I don't remember the exact words(if you want a more detailed account go to howling for justice)but it went something like this

dude being interviewed(I'm so specific :P):blah blah blah hunting blah

NPR lady:So...hunters blah....would say blah blah I want this wolf for my trophy

Me: you don't need a TROPHY for goodness sakes!how would you feel if people hunted you so they could have you as a trophy!!

so,yeah.I have a horrible memory so that is all I remember.Sorry bout that.It is amazing how many people in the U.S don't know about this.They know about the panda,and the tiger,and that's all good but they should fight for the wolf as well,they live right outside your door!(depending on which part of the states you live in)

Hopefully you,my blog reader,will figure out a way to help.

This is a post in honor of all the people that were victims in the Newtown, CT shooting yesterday.I can't believe someone could do that to children, or anyone.I saw a teacher from the school on the news telling them how she barricaded herself and a bunch of kids in a small room with a bookshelf I think and comforted all of them.Alot of the kids were crying and she comforted them telling them it would be okay.Some of the kids said they wanted to be home for Christmas and that they wanted to hug their mom.Once the cops came she made them slide their badges under the door so she knew they were real police officers.She was crying the whole time she was talking and that made me cry.She is one amazing teacher.Again, my thoughts go out to all the people that were at that school.

Three or more things I love

I really like 1.Candy canes 2.Pretzels 3.Nutella 4.Plants v.s. zombies 5.wolves (that's a given) 6.  Gravity falls and I don't want this to go on for a while so that's it.I'd do world peace and all that but whenever you say that it always sounds weird.WORLD PEACE.At my friend Marie's (<----alias) party she had a huge box of mini candy canes and I grabbed as much as I possibly could and I just finished them today. Yesterday I saw a container of 200 mini candy canes at Costco and I told my grandpa "THATS WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS" and  I'd eat one a day so I wouldn't have to much candy or whatever.So, yeah I love candy canes.Who doesn't?I actually bought some in my dream last night, it is kinda scaring me.So,I've only played Plants V.S zombies once, but I got addicted to it but my mom won't let me get it on my Nook Color (which is a good tablet/ereader but it occasionally glitches) because she hates anything with the word "zombies " in it.She doesn't get why the world is obsessed with them.There is this game at arcades, called house of the dead one,two,and three, that I like to play,where you are a secret agent and you have to shoot zombies.It is fun but hard.So, Nutella.I LOVE nutella.I eat it for breakfast alot.This morning ,all our spoons were in the dish washer so I had to eat cereal.It was very sad.(jk) :P it is sad that i complained about it at all.I feel bad for all the people who spend half there day getting water to drink while some of us just go to the sink and when we are done with our water and there is still some left, we dump it.mull that over a bit.




Serious moment over.



so, this show called gravity falls (see gravity falls post) I really love.My friend Indi did a post more or less about it on her blog, http://thecolor-indigo.blogspot.com/ .I agree with her that dipper is a realistic cartoon character.She did a bunch of quotes from it, but I am just going to do one.You will have to watch the show (episode called 'the time traveler's pig") to understand it.

"you can't even tell what species it is it's stupid"

here is the pic.I don't know who to put courtesy for it because Indi emailed it to me.so, sorry.

P.S I really appreciate comments!

Sarloos Wolfhonds

So you know that wolf/dog hybrid that I talked about in Cookies and Improv? if not,go back to that post.I learned not to long after that that breeders are practically nonexistent outside of the Netherlands.:( also, they are escape artists,not good for meek owners or houses with small children,and/or smaller animals.My plan is,once I am super rich,I'll travel to the Netherlands and buy a puppy wolfhond and train it to give me a high five.Nice plan right? What could go wrong??? :P

Writer's block!

I have know ideas for this post so I will tell you about my day!(I can tell you're excited!).So, today I played football with my three friends, there names are Colin, Marie, and Sarah (those are their aliases on my blog, we prefer to remain anonymous (wow, did I spell that right?!?!?)).We were at a basketball court and first tried to get the football in the hoop (which I failed at) and then tried to throw it through a hula hoop that was thrown in the air (which I also pretty much failed at) .What I CAN do is throw a javelin through a Frisbee that has a hole in it.I am not bad at throwing javelins either.Then we all tried to catch it with one hand (which I semi-failed at).Then we played Colin in the middle,he had to catch it with one hand while the rest of us could catch it either way.It wasn't that bad for him because he used to play football so he is ten times better than the rest of us.Then me and some of my friends went and visited my grandma.I had to leave early for guitar lessons. :( My guitar lessons were good though.I am now learning Rudolph the red nosed reindeer! Woo!

Gingerbread houses

So, yesterday,I went to my friend's birthday party and it was pretty awesome!At first we just bounced on the trampoline and realized that it was actually quite tiring.So we all sat in a circle and played ninja.Then we played tag for a while and then went inside and made gingerbread houses, which was pretty fun! One girl put so much icing and candy on her house collapsed.We said it had been hit by "Hurricane Candy". So, after we built our houses (and ate waaaayyy more candy than we should have) we watched "Avengers" .We kept commenting through the whole movie so those who have watched the movie before would shush everyone when there was about to be a funny part.We took a break for the movie and ate dinner which consisted of amazing homemade mac and cheese and chicken tenders also there was a bowl of carrots (I was one of the only ones to eat some of the carrots :P) After dinner we each got a sundae with a bunch of toppings,I got chocolate chips and sprinkles,lots of sprinkles.My ice cream sprinkle percentage would probably be 60% ice cream 40% sprinkles.by that time have of us were laughing hysterically and being extremely hyper from all the sugar.I never get hyper (strange I know) so I was terrified at this point. :) haha.So, we finished the movie and some of the kids parents came and some people left.The rest of us had a push up contest and arm wrestled each other.I am kind of strong (not to brag or anything :P ) and I beat some people.So, my dad chatted with the dads for a bit while we were arm wrestling and then he realized how long he had been chatting and we left with my gingerbread house (it kind of looked like a hippie house because it had twizzlers on the roof and it looked like long red hair so I called it a hippie house)     So that is it for now folks!

earth fun fact of the day!

I know I haven't done this in a while,so here it goes!

So, when you brush your teeth at night,do you leave the water running?If not,then good for you! If you do leave it on, try to work on that. Only 2% of the earth's water is drinkable,use it wisely.

I am so bored!

I am really bored right now.I also can't think of anything to write about so this post is being made up as I type it. Poptropica came out with a new island, Charlie and the chocolate factory so that is what I am going to be playing in a sec.I am waiting for my friend (let's call her susan)to answer me on skype.THAT MEANS YOU SUSAN! :P so yeah.Nothing worth writing about really happened today.We went to the library and I got a bunch of novels,some ones that are new, and some Iv'e read already.When I took my dog out in my yard just to walk him around a bit, he started running in a circle like a lunatic.It was kind of amusing.... So, one book I read a while ago called Signal I saw it at the library today. It is a pretty good book.It didn't knock my socks off (that is not possible mythbusters proved it wrong.) or anything,but it is a good read.


Sorry for boring post,

Mark of Athena

So, most young adults or kids have either read or heard of Mark of Athena (or the Percy Jackson series).It is the third book in the Heroes of Mount Olympus series (which is prettyyy much an extension of the Percy Jackson series) and is an amazing book.I personally like the second book better (Son of Neptune).I love Mark of Athena, but I like the second better.

***********SPOILER ALERT***********

Note from writer: if you haven't read the series,and plan on reading it,please do not read.

I thought the end was kind of funny.They just kinda threw everything in,like "We'll just throw the two main characters into Tartarus".I am not saying it wasn't good, it was just kind of amusing.I like Frank and Leo.They are my two favorite characters that are not from the original series.Leo is really funny and Frank is just awesome, i mean he can change into an elephant!What is better than that!?!

Adios,

Sports

My favorite sport is football.Go Giants!! they are my favorite team.I love super bowl Sunday........ I really like my football, it is half purple half black.I like playing catch with it more than actual football, though.So one time,I was playing basketball ( my second favorite sport)by myself (sad I know) and I got it stuck.Bravo. I took a picture (see below) and then threw some rocks at it till it fell.So yeah I got a good laugh out of that.I am actually not that bad at basketball or football, believe it or not!Another time,I chucked the basketball from halfway across the court  and made it in.I was so amazed with myself (I didn't expect to make it in at ALL) that I yelled "DID ANYONE SEE THAT!?!?!" I'm pretty sure only one person was in the area, and they were playing on a scooter and I don't think they noticed.oh well.At least I know I did :P

The Divide

Another book review! yay!

This one is about a book called The Divide  by Elizabeth Kay.It is a really good book about a boy named Felix who gets transported to another dimension were HUMANS are mythical beings and science is mythical,like magic is to us.Elves and Griffins and anything mythical in our world is real in their world.It is a cool concept,  I think is really original.In the first book (there are three), Felix has to find a cure for his heart condition and stop a evil pixie (japegrin).Indi is letting me borrow the second book.I like it so far.I would give the series a 9.5/10.I really like the griffin, Ironclaw, in it. He is awesome.I hope you read it!

P.S this is my one hundreth post!Woo!

A hawk flew into my window!

So my aunt called today and she told us that a hawk flew into her window. At first all she heard was a thump and her cat started stalking over to the window. She ran outside and found a hawk lying on the ground breathing heavily and freaking out. She picked it up and it fell asleep in her arms! She took pictures (well, my uncle did) and then it woke up and flew away.It was so cool!I wish I had been there. Hawks are really cool. Did you know that in movies and such,they used a hawks cry for an eagle because an eagle sounds funny!?! So that wickedly cool cry we always hear is a hawk, not an eagle most of the time.

Bobcats

Alright,I know I haven't been doing much about the environment lately so here is an environmental post.(kinda)

So, you know what bobcats are right? If not,here is an epic picture of one.Bobcats live in North America and are small felines about the size of a large house cat.This is were the problem is.You see, people think that they can be domesticated just like regular house cats but this is not the case. Eventually they might claw their "owners" (they have really strong claws) probably accidentally and then they would be declawed.Then they might resort to biting cause,hey,you declawed them what do you expect?Then they aren't manageable enough and are thrown back in the wild. How are they going to catch their food or climb trees without claws?Some starve or are taken on to preserves like the one I went to. I saw two bobcats there, named Cash and Santa.That was pretty much there life story.Here are a few bobcat factoids.


1. Bobcats can take down full grown deer.

2.They first appear about 1.8 million years ago.

3.In some areas, they are still trapped for their beautiful fur.

4.There are some 1 million in the U.S alone.

5.They live from 10 to 12 years

6.They can leap up to ten feet!

7.They are named for their "bobbed" tail.Cool right!?
