Moosebutter

Moosebutter just did their own version of 'Star Wars'! I like it! Let us compare. This one is by a guy named Corey Vidal. He was lip-singing it.





This one is the actual group called moosebutter.





Don't you wish there was an episode 7? It would be really cool.

So which version is your favorite? I like the moosebutter one the best. So, there's 9 days 16 hours and 30 seconds till Christmas, and counting. Until next time, good bye.

I Want.....


What do I want for Christmas? Well, I want... Look on http://www.moosebutter.com/ click on songs, and then click on the arrow next to "I Want..."

I'm kidding. I might want a Ferrari to match my shoes, but I am more interested on other things. I want Bionicles, (especially the Axalara T9), and Prince Caspian, and Clone Wars, and Eragon, Eldest, and Brisingr, and Heroscape.

I might not get all these things, but I will get some, maybe.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! 19 days, 16 hours, 38 min, and 5 sec.
Bye!

Day After Thanksgiving

The day after Thanksgiving so far: I woke up and read a book for a little bit, then got out of bed. Dad went to the store. I was thinking, "I have a lot of school to do." I did. So I got my science done in no tome at all. So I thought I could do this easily. Our family had pie for breakfast because it was after Thanksgiving. I had pumpkin pie. Then Dad came home, and he got Shrek the Halls! It is a Christmas Video! And it is only 1 day after Thanksgiving! So we watched it.

So now I have this countdown thing going on!

That was my day after Thanks giving so far. I am going to go either do school or play.

Shakespeare

WHO IS THE BEST LEADER: BRUTUS, CASSIUS, OR ANTONY?
Joseph Lewis
In William Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar”, there are three great leaders: Brutus, Cassius, and Antony. But which one shows true leadership? They all have strengths and weaknesses. Which one would I follow?
Brutus was one of Caesar’s friends, and he is a very popular nobleman. People respected him. But he was influenced by other people too easily. In the play, Cassius got him to join the conspiracy by praising him. Brutus thought that if he killed Caesar, the people would still like him. I wouldn’t want to follow him because that makes him untrustworthy.
Cassius was an experienced war leader, he was smart, and he was persuasive. He got all the members of the conspiracy to be in it through different ways. An example is when he gets Brutus to join the conspiracy through flattering. He did sound good, but he had bad qualities also- he whined. Whining shows immaturity. So when things weren’t going good, he quits. Also, in the play, when he saw the war was lost, he killed himself. Not my choice of leader.
Antony was a great speaker because he spoke what was the truth. He was also a war leader. In the play, he allied with Octavius and won the battle. But he was dishonest. He tried to cheat the people out of their inheritance of Caesar’s will. He also kills senators to cheat the people out of the inheritance.
Each of them had bad qualities, and at first, I didn’t know who to choose. A good leader won’t be untrustworthy, he wouldn’t be a quitter, and he shouldn’t be dishonest. Marc Antony is most like this. He is a great guy, (other than killing senators). I would follow Marc Antony.

What a Relief!


Yay!!! Bionicle doesn't end this year! The picture is all of the Toa Nuva (on the bottom), and the Makuta (the top). The Makuta are the bad guys. I got Legends #11 (the last Legends book)in the beginning of November. I was thinking, "This is the last book and the end of Bionicle. Mata Nui is going to be awakened." So I was right. Mata Nui was awakened, but not in the way I thought it would be. The Toa Nuva came back to Metru Nui, and were praised. But then, a rush of wind came, and the stars made up the Mask of Shadows! Makuta, their arch nemisis is controlling the universe! Ahh!!! In space, the Mask of Life is holding the true mind of Mata Nui, traveling somewhere, saying, "I will return."
So 2009's Bionicles are the Glatorians. The new series is called Bionicle Quests. This is the storyline.
· The Mask of Life, possessed by the Great Spirit Mata Nui, is sent hurtling through the space between dimensions by Makuta - and it's up to a new generation of Toa to get it back. In the desert realm of Mazra Nui, the Glatorians of the 6 tribes, aided by the Toa Nuva, the Turaga Metru, the mighty warrior Tuma, and six brave Matoran, must battle against Skirmix, the son of Makuta, and his beastly "pet", Fero, to retrieve the mask and save the Matoran Universe. But what is the secret of Bara Magna, the Toa of Light in an ancient team of heroes?
We will find out in 2009! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until next time, Bye!

Shakespeare

MOB RULE
Joseph Lewis
The definition of Mob Rule is when a mob or gang has control of a place or government. They are often violent, making everyone go their way through fear tactics and intimidation. A mob is an out-of-control crowd. A gang is a group of people that just want to be tough. But can any good come from mob rule? Let’s find out.
The Sons of Liberty could be considered a mob. They were inspiring to some, but they were violent in their actions. For example, they burned the governor’s house, dumped tea into the harbor, and hung effigies from the Liberty Tree. The people saw them as heroes, but the British and Tories saw them as a mob.
It is never a good thing to make someone do what you want them to do by using force. That is taking away agency. Mob Rule occurred during Joseph Smith’s time when mobs were persecuting the saints in Missouri. The mobs took the Saints out of their homes and burned the houses, took some church leaders, including Joseph Smith, to jail and drove the Saints out of Missouri in the middle of winter. The governor of Missouri gave the mob permission to do whatever it takes to expel the Mormons. That was a horrible thing from my point of view.
Gangs are one of the modern day mobs. Gang members just want to be tough and controlling of others and territory. They have no purpose for their violence except to be powerful. They are just bad.
Satan is the great imitator and he copies all of Heavenly Father’s gifts to us. The greatest gift is family. Satan imitates families by making gangs look like they will accept you, but if you don’t do what they want, they beat you up, or worse they will shoot you.
The difference between a mob and a gang is: a mob does acts with a purpose, and a gang just is trying to be powerful. The Sons of Liberty is debatable, but, in my opinion, they were inspiring. Gangs are just bad. In conclusion, mobs can be good or bad, depending on what your point of view is, and what they are doing.

Key of Liberty

THE AMERICAN CRISIS

What motivated Washington’s soldiers to fight twelve hundred Hessian soldiers in the freezing cold on Christmas day, 1776? It was words that George Washington read to his soldiers written by Thomas Paine called “The American Crisis”.
The words reminded the soldiers why they were fighting. They were fighting for freedom of future generations. Thomas Paine wrote: “If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.” They fought for me and for every citizen of America.
It also said that to have freedom, it is going to be tough, but we can work for it. “…lay your shoulder to the wheel, (sound familiar?), better to have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake.” We also need to work to have a better life. We can “show our faith by our works, that God may bless [us]…the blessing will reach [us] all.”If we work hard, we will get blessings.
Paine’s writings inspired Washington’s soldiers that there was “no real cause to be afraid.” The soldiers didn’t need to fear, and we don’t need to fear, because God will help us in our hard times. Heavenly Father had a plan for America. I am thankful for those troops who fought in the Revolutionary War for future times.
The American Crisis is an inspiring paper. The paper says what our world is like today. “These are the times that try men’s souls.” That statement is true for today, as it also was back then, because our world is in trying times. The American Crisis reflects on our times. It was really uplifting for me to read.

Shakespeare

Was Brutus an honorable man? I need to give 5 points for and 5 points against this question.



Good:

1.He stood for what he thought ws right. In Act 3, scene 2, he states what he thought was right. He wanted to help and protect Rome.



2. He was loyal and patriotic to his country. In Act 3, scene 2 and in Act 2, scene 1, he says why he was wanting to protect Rome.



3. He was loyal to his friend. Brutus loved Caesar, but he "loved Rome more" (Act 3, scene 2). And in Act 2, scene 1, he wanted to protect his friend from ignoring the people if he became king.



4. Caesar trusted him. In Act 3, scene 1, he didn't die until Brutus stabbed him. In history, he blocked Casca's stab and looked around at the conspirators. When he saw Brutus, he probably said that famous line, "Et tu, brute? Then die Caesar." He put his head in his cape and let himself get stabbed.



5.All the people followed him. In Act 3, scene 2, the respected him and wanted him to be the next Caesar in a hero.



Bad:

1.Brutus killed Caesar. He wasn't loyal to his friend. Act 3, scene 1.



2.He was part of the conspiracy. That is bad. He joined in Act 2, scene 1



3. He was actually ready to kill. Killing is never good, even if you think it is for a good cause. Brutus says why he killed Caesar in Act 3, scene 2.



4. He was more concerned about the power of Rome than a person's life. In Act 2, scene 1, and in Act 3, scene 2, he says that he was and why he was concerned.



5. He was influencedand was stupid for that. In Act 1, scene 2, he listens to Cassius, and in Act 2, scene, he was influenced by more praising. The conspiracy probably wouldn't have worked if Bruus wasn't in it.



That is it. Until next time, good bye.

Polar Star Assignments

These are assignments in Polar Star.
Key of Liberty:
Must we give up some of our Rights to Maintain Freedom?

NO! It is a trick of Satan!

Rights make it so that we can have freedom. An example is this: say the people voted to allow the government to take away the right to have guns to reduce crime. Now only the police and the military have guns, right? No. Criminals can get guns through the black market. Then they can come into homes and we can’t defend ourselves! If we give our rights to the government then that will lead to bondage.

Heavenly Father’s agency lets us choose to do the right if we want to. It doesn’t mean that we can do whatever you want. It means we can choose the right or wrong. If a person lies, he chooses to do that. Then he feels trapped because he has to remember that, and that doesn’t feel free. If you feel like you aren’t free, you are probably suffering a consequence.

So we don’t really want to give up our rights because that will lead to chaos. We need to choose the right.
Shakespeare: a sonnet by William Shakespeare entitled
"William Shakespeare"
Whoever hath her wish, thou hast thy "Will,"
And "Will" to boot, and "Will" in overplus;
More than enough am I that vex thee still,
To thy sweet will making addition thus.

Wilt thou, whose will is large and spacious,
Not once vouchsafe to hide my will in thine?
Shall will in others seem right gracious,
And in my will no fair acceptance shine?

The sea, all water, yet receives rain still
And in abundance addeth to his shore;
So thou, being rich in "Will," add to thy "Will"
One will of mine, to make thy large "Will" more.

Let no unkind, no fair beseechers kill;
Think all but one, and me in that one "Will."

Polar Star: Patriots Pen
Why American Veterans Should be Honored
Our veterans are and should continue to be honored in many ways. They have shown great courage in serious situations, putting their course of freedom and country above themselves. They fought wars, past and present for the freedom of the American people, risking their lives. They should be recognized for this.
Our veterans were not quitters. They would not abandon their fellow soldiers in battle even though they wondered if they would see their families again, or if this would be their last moment of life. They were brave, courageous, and strong. They fought because it was their duty. They fought for their country. They fought for the freedom of America. Some have had friends that laid down their life for them. This sacrifice is a good example of the following scripture: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends” (St. John 15: 13).
Our veterans would be prouder if we were braver and stronger. We fight our own battles in our personal lives everyday, and it is all around us when we step out of our doorways. You need to make your own choices about what to do. If our country were stronger, our veterans would feel much more proud about the service they have given.
Some ways that I can honor our veterans is that I can put our flag up on Veterans Day. I can ask veterans about experiences and ask them to tell me stories. I can spend time with them. I don’t have any living veterans in our family. I should see if there are any veterans around my neighborhood.
Courageous. Brave. Responsible. Duty. Honor. Freedom. Good men and women. These words describe our veterans. They need to be honored because they fought and didn’t quit. We respect them because they fought for our freedom that we enjoy today. They should be proud about their service to our country. They have had a “Greater love” for their brother. They have had a greater love for our country. They love our country and would give their life for our country. They should continue to be honored by every American. I love our veterans.

Family Time

Our family is great. We have a big family. I am the oldest. In the picture is, (from left to right): my brother Owen, Dad, Baby Amy, my brother Ryan, me, and my brother Daniel. My mom isn't in this picture because she is taking the picture!!!

Some things that we like to do as a family are: play card or board games, go to St. George, swim, and watch movies on the computer. (We don't have a TV). :(

Our favorite card games are Uno and Pit. Pit is kind of like the stock market, except it is with cards. Everyone knows what Uno is. It is two things. It is a card game and it is "one" in Spanish.
Our favorite board games are Clue Mysteries, Monopoly, and Risk. Clue Mysteries is a different kind of Clue. It has 50 different kinds of mysteries.

That is a little bit on our family.
Until next time, good bye!

Choosing the Wrong (Shakespeare)

When you choose the wrong, you can do three things. You can tell the truth , lie, or try and cover it up. You can always tell when someone is lying. This is a poem (song) about lying.

"My teacher told me I should never tell a lie,
Because a lie will bring you trouble sure as pie.
It's and awful thing to do,
And it's as true as true,
You'll get caught and then you'll start to cry.

"You'll have a horrid painful pounding in your head,
And you'll fell your face get hot and turn bright red.
Then your heart will start to thump;
In your throat you'll get a lump
And you'll feel as bad you'll wish you could lie right down and die.
You're much better off if you never tell a lie,
Not even sometimes."

And worse, Heavenly Father knows, you lose your trust and ruin your character.
This is and example of trying to cover things up.
Example: King David decided not to lead the war. While he was up on the roof, he saw a woman washing herself. He wanted her, so he arranged to kill her husband, Uriah, to get killed. Then the prophet, Nathan, said that he did something wrong and that he can't go into the Celestial Kingdom. He felt bad.
DON'T DO BAD THINGS!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Bionicle Heroes




Click on the addresses to see the trailer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwqhT_6xAy8






Bionicle Heroes is a fun game. It was made by the same company that made Lego Star Wars. I have this on computer. You play as the Toa Inika. The Toa Inika are: Jaller, (say Jal-ah), Hahli, (say hah- lee), Nuparu, (say nu- pa-ru), Hewkii, (say Hoo-kee), Matoro, (say ma-tor-o), and Kongu, (say kon-goo). They must defeat the Piraka, which are the bad guys. The Piraka are: Hakann, (say ha-can), Vezok, (say vee-zok), Reidak, (say ray-dak), Zaktan, (say zak-tan), Avak, (say a-
vak) and Thok, (say it like it is). On the computer, you need to
fight another Piraka: Vezon. On the Gameboy, at the end, you fight all the Piraka at the same time. It is a cool game!!!!
Bionicles rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Superstition

Why do we think, "Oh, it is Friday the 13th."? Why do we pick up a penny for good luck? Well, it is this thing called superstition. In the dictionary, superstition means: A belief from fear, ignorance, or from magic and chance from that supernatural.

Superstition is in my family in a lot of ways. First, Friday the 13th. I think it is a bad luck day. Lots of bad things happen on that day. one reason is that if you step on a crack on that day, you break your mom's back. I step on cracks on purpose, and that never happened.

Another bad luck thing is: the black cat. If it crosses your path, you have bad luck for 7 years. I have had lots of black cats cross my path, and I am pretty lucky. It the cat is halfway across, turn around. Also, if you beak a mirror, you get 7 years of bad luck.

There is one thing that I do believe in, and it is: a watched pot never boils. When I boil water for anything, it never does. I hate that. One good luck thing is the lucky penny. If you pick it up off the ground two things will happen: one, you get richer, and two, you get good luck.

We have this thing called the Lewis Family Curse. We never win anything. I broke it when I won an electric piano in a piano recital drawing. I was so surprised. I also won something at the rock and gem show. I am so lucky.

So there is some " beliefs from fear, ignorance, of magic and chance from the supernatural" in my family. Those are our superstitions.

Lord of the Rings

Lord of the Rings is awesome! It is a trilogy in 6 DVDs.The trilogy is: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King. I am on The Return of the King. I am watching it with my mom and dad.

It is about a hobbit named Frodo. A hobbit is a short person who loves to eat. Frodo is the guy in the bottom right corner next to the weird guy named Gollum. He lives with Bilbo Baggins. He is his nephew. Bilbo has this ring that he found in a cave. It is a bad ring of power. There were these guys who made 3 rings for the elves, 6 for the dwarfs, and 9 for the humans. The 9 humans turned evil. Then there was this guy who made a ring of power in the fires of Mount Doom. In order for the ring to be destroyed, it needs to be burned in the fires of Mount Doom, otherwise, it can't be destroyed. So Frodo is taking it to Mount Doom, aided by Sam, his gardener,Merry and Pippen, two other hobbitts, Gandolf the wizard, Legolas, the elf, Gimli, the dwarf, Aragorn is a long living guy, and Boromir, a human.

I is an awesome movie trilogy. I love it. It is my dad's favorite movie.
Until next time, good by.

What Made Waskhington a Great Man? How Can I be More Like him?

George Washington is a great man for a lot of reasons. One reason is, during the war, he knew ho to lead people. This is one Key of Liberty story: When the British were coming, and the soldiers were getting scared, Washington pulled out 2 pistols and said that if anyone ran, he will shoot at them.

Not really a good way to get people to follow you, but the soldiers got braver and fought.

Another reason is that he didn't want to be king, and he became out first president. People looked up to him. When he turned down a third term, King George was surprised, but admired him in that way.

That list could go on and on, but I'll do one more.George Washington was smart. People came to ask advice from him. He was smart when he surprised the Hessians by crossing the Delaware River on Christmas. He was smart during the presidency. He chose the spot for Washington D. C.

There are lots of of reasons, but George Washington was a good man. I could be more like him by following his example. That is it. Following his example.

Amusement Parks






The three that won in my poll is Lagoon, California Adventure Park, and Legoland. I have been to all three, and I will talk about all three of them.


Lagoon is awesome! This is a cool picture. My favorite rides are: Wicked, Rattlesnake Rapids, All the roller coasters, and the Rocket. My dad worked here, and he rode the Colossus with NO seat constraint! He said the force makes it so you don't fall out.


California Adventure Park is fun!. I liked the Grizzly River Run. I went here when
I was 10. That was 3 years ago. I don't remember much. While we were going there on the bus, the driver told a joke. Why does Tigger stink? You'll stink too if you play with Pooh!(poo).

This is the Legoland entrance. Legoland has statues built of Legos that took years to make! There was a water park that had a HUGE bucket that fills up with water and dumps all over!
Amusement parks are fun. They are great to go to with families. Until next time, bye!

Shakespeare & Key of Liberty

Writting assignments for Polar Star.
Shakespeare:
How would I make a decision? It depends. If my mom said,"Where would you like to eat?" I would either say my favorite restaurant: Sizzler, or a fast food restaurant that sounds good.
If I was asked, "If you could vote, who would you vote for?" I would research on the computer. It may take a couple of days. Then I would make my decision.

Good decision:
The Saints built temples when Heavenly Father said to. Outcome: They had blessing poured out upon them.
Bad decision:
Cain listened to Satan and killed Abel. When Heavenly Father asked him about it, he lied.
Outcome: Cain and his family were cast off and became wicked.

Two of the best ways to make a decision is to pray and listen to the Spirit. They helped me decide what people to be in the deacons presidency. My cousin, Kendrick, is having a hard time deciding why he should succeed in collage. He doesn't know how to pray and he is sad. I feel sorry for him.
Well, that is my paper.

Key of liberty:
Some of my God-Given rights are: freedom, liberty, free-agency, the pusuit of happiness, and life.
When we can defend those rights with guns,it depends on if you feel threatened. If my family had a gun, and a really bad dude came and was doing bad things to a family member, like me, we could shoot him and not go to prison. We should try and let the police take care of it.

If we were in a war, and we tried to talk it out, but it doesn't work, then we can use weapons.
We should try to talk it out. It is much better then killing.
That is my paper.

Key of Liberty assignment: Is family or country more important

Both matter to me. But if there were no families, there wouldn't be a country. In Key of Liberty, General Mussels told us about this one guy who chose to let his sons starve instead of taking his name of the Declaration of Independence. He thought that country is more important than family.

To me, family is most important. We want to protect our family. I know my dad would do anything to protect our family. So there is different opinions about this, but to me, family is most important.

Clone Wars

Clone Wars is a Computer-Animated movie. It takes place between episode 2 and 3. Anikin Skywalker gets a new apprentice named Asohka Tano. She is right next to Obi-Wan. The droids are hilarious. I was laughing my head off. This is one of the funny things. There are ships coming at 2 droids. One says, "There is ships coming, commander." The other one says, "Shoot them down." "But what if it's one of our own?" "I don't care, I am in charge here, and I said shoot them down!" And guess what? It goes into a TV series. It starts October 3. On the Pacman game, you go into a larger screen, and on the top, it has a Clone Wars thing.


This is the movie trailer.

History of Bionicle

Check out this Bionicle Movie! Click on the next line.



So what you see in that movie is the history of Bionicle. Well, the History of the toys. Well, Bionicle has these powerful beings called Great Beings. They created the whole Bionicle Universe. They had this Great Spirit named Mata Nui to be in charge of all living things. They created the first Toa of Water named Helryx. They built Metru Nui. They built Artahka and Karzahni. They made a special group called the Brotherhood of Makuta. They were supposed to do good withe Energized Protodermis, but they were scheming against Mata Nui. Then this one group of Toa was made. They are: (from left to right), Onua, Toa of Earth. Lewa, Toa of Air. Pohatu, Toa of Stone. Tahu, Toa of Fire. Kopaka, Toa of Ice. And Gali, Toa of Water. Their destiny is to awaken Mata Nui when he goes into slumber.

So after the movie is the Phantoka, (which is the Toa Mata), there is one part that wasn't in there. The Mistika. They went to look for the Keystones and the Mask of Life. They find all the keystones and meet with the Phantoka. They enter the Codrex with the Makuta behind them. We are waiting what happens to them.

So there is a history of Bionicle. Hope you liked the Movie! See you later.

Polar Star Assignments

Shakespeare:
My Hero:
One of my heroes is my dad. He loves to help me with scouts. Last year, he led our food drive because the food bank was running low on food. We brought them 951lbs. of food. They were so grateful.

He works every day to earn money for our family. If he didn't work, we would be homeless. We wouldn't have any food. We woulld be poor.

My dad makes the best choices for ou family. If he didn't, our house would be a mess, and our yard would never get done. I love my dad, and he loves me.

Key of Liberty:
Stubborn

My definition for stubborn is: To stick with an idea and stay with it.

Sometimes being stubborn is good and sometimes it is bad. If I was stubborn of not cleaning, I would be in trouble. People were stubborn in the Rvolutionary War. They stuck with their Declaration of Independence. If they didn't, We would probably be England territory. I am thankful for the Revolutionary War

The End

Polar Star

Polar Star is a home school class. It has 4 subjects: writing, science, Shakespeare, and Key of Liberty,(or Sword of Freedom). Writing class introduced me to this blog thing. It is cool. For science, we have these cool science experiments to do. For Shakespeare, (which is the funnest class ever), we need to read, watch, or listen to 17 plays. If we do that, we get crowned and groveled to. For Key of Liberty, we need to read these books, and we have these discussions. This week we have to come as a representative of a colony from the First Conntinental Congress. I got assigned Massachusetts.

Like Mr. Science Geek? Until next time, good bye!

Red



Red is my favorite color. I like red Bionicles, red school stuff, red almost everything! (Even the words are red. Wow!). This is Toa Inika Jaller. He is red. Usually, the red bionicles are the leaders.

Jaller turned into Toa Mahri and stayed that way. Red Bionicles are cool.
Other toa of fire, or red guys, are: Tahu, Vakama, lhikan, tahnok, cadok, Nuurahk, Votarak, Sidorak, Hakann, Kalmah, Antroz, Balta, Takua, Kapura, Nuuhri, Sarda, and Radiak. And I have almost all these guys.












Skittles is my favorite candy. The original package is red. I love red. I like all the flavors, except the chocolate mix one. Yuck. But now that I have braces, I can't have them. I will have healthier teeth though. That saying is cheesy. It is very colorful. I have a red backpack that is Bionicle.
That is my thoughts on red. Until next time, Bye!

Optical Illusions

Optical Illusions are weird. I am serious. I dont know why they do that, but they do. Tell me, is this a rabbit of a duck.



That is weird. Optical Illusions are a trick of the eye. There are tons of them that some people made up. They are good. This guy named Cole Dufton, in Bellingen, New Australia in 1989 made these up. Thell me this one: are the dice laying flat or standing up?

Well, that is Optical Illusions. You need to look at my Dad's blog. It has an optical illusion on it. The address is: land of garrett.blogspot.com. Bye.

Halloween



This is a picture of the MUSTACHED PUMPKIN!

I designed and carved this. I hate gutting the pumpkin. The stuff inside is gross. It fell apart a couple of days later. I made this pumpkin for a pumpkin walk.


For the past Halloween years, I have been classic Halloween characters. I have been the Grim Reaper, Frankenstein, a Mad Scientist (Wha ha ha ha), skeleton, ghost, and more. This year we are going to be the Wiggles. It is a singing group for kids. Owen loves it. We are doing this for Owen. So what are you being this year? Probably not doing anything. We all have are fun while we are young.
UNTIL NEXT TIME, GOOD BYE.
BOOO!

FOOD




I am a food eater. My family says that I have a hollow leg. Now since I have braces, I can't eat candy, drink pop, and eat popcorn! What am I supposed to have at the theaters? You tell me. I can't eat hard of chewy foods. I can't eat carrots(yay). Luckily, I can eat french fries and hot dogs.
Aren't braces wonderful? My favorite restaurant is Sizzler. My brother says that Golden Corral is better. Which do you think is better?

This picture makes me hungry. I am going to go eat something. Until next time, Good Bye.

Computer Games

I love computer games! They are fun. These are two of my favorites.

Bionicle Heroes lets you control the Toa Inika. You battle the Piraka and other Bad guys past and present. This was made in 2006. After you defeat a Piraka, you can play with him on his level. After you defeat all six Piraka, you fight Vezon. If you defeat him, you play as Vezon and the Toa Inika.














Roller Coaster Tycoon is fun. The one I have has Loopy Landscapes in it. You get to BUILD YOUR OWN AMUSEMENT PARK!!!!!!!! You choose a scenario and complete it. If you complete it, you get a new scenario. You can spend hours and hours playing it.


Other video games I like are: Lego Star Wars, Wii, Legend of Zelda, and more.

Until next time, Good Bye!

Bionicle Videos

Bionicle Movies are awesome!

It is computer animated and they put hands on them. The green guys are usually funny. The first one is kind of serious. This takes place on tha island of Mata Nui. It's about 2 Matoran (villager), Jaller (Jal-ah) and Takua. Takua finds a mask in a lava cave. After the Kohlii (Kol-ee) tournament, the Turaga say that it is the Mask of Light. The two Matoran go around the island seeking the Seventh Toa. But Makuta sends the Rahkshi to stop them. That is the basic story outline.









Bionicle 2 takes place on the island of Metru Nui 1,000 years ago, when the Turaga were Toa. The island is a city. Toa Lhikan gives six Matoran Toa Stones that will turn them into Toa. The new Toa don't get along very much, but get things done. Turaga Dume says that they are fake Toa and order the Vahki to destroy them. Krekka and Nidiki try to destroy them too, but fail.
They discover their mask powers and fight Makuta.
They need to save the matoran who got put into sleep, and take them to Mata Nui.









Bionicle 3 takes places on Metru Nui also, but it is Taken over by the Visorak spiders, Roodaka, and Sidorak, their leaders. The Toa return from Mata Nui and get captured by the Visorak. They get put into cocoons and get mutated by Visorak venom. They fall from the top of the tallest building, called the Coliseum, but get rescued by the Rahaga. Rahaga Norik tells them how to turn back into their normal selves. They must fing Keetongu.
Vakama, the fire Toa, turns evil by Roodaka. who will win the battle for Metru Nui?



They are planing on making a Bionicle 4, but I don't know what it is about. To learn more, read the books or watch the movies.

until next time, bye!
