Favorite Songs

Most people think rap is only for black gangsters but it is not at all. I'm a Caucasian and I love to listen to rap. If you think about it, rap songs are actually peoms with beats. Some are about life, death, hobbies, and violence. Personally I like all rap including T.I, Yung Joc and the Ying Yang Twins. I also listen to rock but just not as much.

I love to listen to T.I on my Ipod. My favorite written by T.I is called What You Know. It has the coolest beats I have ever heard. If I could sing them I would but I can't so for your listening pleasure think about me singing in your mind. Yung Joc is a relatively new artist. By the way he has got some great songs like I Know You See It and It's Goin' Down. I love It's Goin' Down. I swear I must listen to it a 1000 times a day. And last but not least are the Ying Yang Twins. I can actually sing the song called Shake all the way through without stopping.

I love to listen to all types of music not including country. I hate that stuff.

The Top Ten Venomous Snakes

Has anyone ever heard of the show The Most Extreme? Well it was on Animal Planet today and they had a special episode where they counted down the most dangerous snakes in the world. So I thought I would write about the most venomous snakes in the world.

At number ten is the Western Brown snake. Known for it's vicious neurotoxic bite, the fast moving Brown Snake is very dangerous and possibly deadly. Brown Snakes are split up into many different sub-species. These species are spread out all over Australia and have been known to bite people repededly, similar to the king cobra who delivers copious amounts of venom into it's prey or enemy. Growing up to six feet in length these snakes are very dangerous and very cool.Also these snakes can kill a 100,000 mice with one bite easily. Now isn't that cool or what?

Number 9 on this weeks countdown is the Death Adder. Obviously the snakes name has to come from someplace reasonable. Hence the word Death Adder. Found in most parts of Austrailla, this short and stocky snake has one heck of a bite. This elapid has hemotoxic venom which causes paralysis. The Death Adder kills many, many people every year. Since most people get bitten while hiking out in the bush they are miles and miles away from the nearest hospital. Mainly preying on mice and frogs these snakes have more than enough venom to kill a human.


Coming in at number eight in the countdown is the Giant Black Tiger Snake. Now I don't know very much about this species except that it is very venomous along with all the other snakes on the list. This snake lives in most parts of Austraillia along with the Death Adder. The most recognizable thing or most interesting thing about this snake is that it uses the tip of it's tongue to lure in prey such as birds, frogs, and other snakes. With this snake very closely related to the regular Tiger Snake they also have similar venom types. I think that this snake looks a lot like a skink without legs. No just kidding. Or it looks like a snake which ever you prefer. These snakes will also kill you so watch where you step!


The number seven spot goes to the Western Tiger Snake. The Western Tiger Snake is a lot alike the Black Tiger Snake. It lives in most parts of Austraillia and it contains very potent venom. This snake also feeds on the same animals that the Black Tiger does. Birds, frogs, and other snakes. Although the color pattern are different these sub-specied cousins are very much alike.Venom is a hemotoxic mixtures that clots your arteries. I wouldn't want to get bit by this animal! Plus this animal grows up to 6 feet in length. Just think how much venom he would pump into your blood stream. Plus it is number seven on the list! Ask yourself, do I want to get bitten by this snake? Hmmmm? Heck no!


Coming in at number six is the Beaked Sea Snake. The Beaked Sea Snake is a medium sized highly venomous snake. In fact, the Beaked Sea Snake is resposible for more than half the sea snake related injuries or deaths. Known for it's incredible manuevering under water the sea snake can aslo come up on land for some sun. These snakes roam from the Persian Gulf all the way to Austraillia. About 1.2 meters in length which is about three feet in America, are not the biggest of all the sea snakes. What used to be thought of as a beak has now been realized as a curvature of the snakes snout. These snakes diet heavily relys on eels and small fish. Since there mouths are too small to get around the bigger fish eels are a perfect meal for them. Like most Sea Snakes their tail is flattend out to a pattle shape instead of a regular tail. These snakes are very unique and they are very venomous. Let's give it up for the sea snakes!


The next snake on the list is the Riesvie Tiger Snake. Not much is known at all about this new species of Tiger snake. All scientists know is that it gets up to six feet long and it is very dangerous. Like all Tigers this snake feeds on small mammals, birds, frogs, and other snakes.This type of snake obviously doesn't need any conservation. And that is a good thing!

Again the Tiger snake makes the list at number four. Although the Eastern Tiger Snake is a sub-species of the Common Tiger the Eastern Tiger is way smaller. Almost two feet smaller that is! It lives in most parts of Austraillia and it contains very potent venom according to many herpitoligists. This snake also feeds on the same animals that the Black Tiger, the Riesvie Tiger, and the Western Tiger do, Birds, frogs, and other snakes. Although the color pattern varies between all the Tiger species this color variation seems to be relatively common. Brown with stripes of grey or darker brown is the normal and most common pattern.


Number three on the list of venomous snakes is the Taipan. This mammal eating snake is number three for a reason. This snake is very very very dangerous. One bite can kill 250,000 mice equivelent to 100 men. One single bite. Wow! The Taipan lives in most parts of Austraillia where it thrives in the dense underbrush and open plains. The Taipan is very closely relately to the Fierce Snake. So close that many people argued why they were seperate species. Well it is quite simple. The Feirce Snakes venom is much more potent for some unknown reason. The Taipans diet cosists of rodents and bandicoots. This snake is 10 times more potent than the Mojave Rattlesnake. That is pretty potent for a snake. The 9 foot long Taipan is the third most venomous snake in the world. Can you wait to find out?


Number two on the list is the Common Brown Snake. Native to Eastern Austraillia only this very potent snake kills many a people a year. Known for it's venom this snake doesn't grow very big. This snake can grow up to a total of 5 feet and no longer. As the Crocodile Hunter would say " Krikey that's a big one. " Well he was lying, they actually don't get that big. Well that's all I know about the king Brown or the Common Brown whichever you prefer.


And the moment that you've all been waiting for. The nuber one most venomous snake inthe world is the Fierce Snake. As I said earlier this snake is very very closely related to the Taipan and in fact some people call it the Taipan. With a neurotoxi venom this snake can kill more than 300,000 mice. In simple terms, if you get bitten by this snake you are going to die no doubt. There is no chance that you would survive unless you got bit right in the hospital doors. People bring these snakes home from over seas and they usely get realy big so if you have a death wish and you want your death to be very painful then this is the guy to hire. Not your local hittman but your snake. Growing up to six feet in length the Fierce Snake is called the Feirce Snake for a reason. There venom actually has a little twist in which the venom gives you excruciating pain to your whole body. The Feirce Snake is the most venomous snake in the world. You do not want to get bitten by this snake because you won't be able to think what went wrong.

Polar Bears

Did you know that the Polar Bear is the largest terrestrial predator? These 1400 pound bears are in fact not on the endangered species list because of their steady population of over 22,000. But it has been said that there is no doubt these Polar Bears are going to go extinct in a few years. Because the ozone layer is getting thinner every day the Polar Bears' ice caps are melt away. What happens is that a peice of ice breaks off and then the Polar Bears are stuck on the ice miles away from land or ice if you prefer.

These Polar Bears measure more than nine feet in length are are great predators. Eating seals and penguins the Polar Bears will wait for the seals and penguins to surface for air. And then he or she strikes. These bears have adapted very well to the climate and conditions of the Artic circle. Some Polar bears live as far south as northern Canada. That is pretty far! To read more about these Polar bears click on this link. And by the way, STOP GLOBAL WARMING!

At&t Park

One of my favorite places that I've ever been is At&t Park. For all of you that haven't been there it is even better in person like most things except maybe a tiger. I've only been there once but I had a blast. I got to see 3 home runs and I got to see Barry Bonds play Left Field. I know most people don't like him very much and in fact, I don't like him very much either. But still telling my kids that i got to see Barry Bonds play in 20 years will hopefully give them somrthing to brag about to their little friends depending on how old they are. It will also give me bragging rights forat least a while.

Well anyway, At&t Park is a dream come true. I love everything in that park. It is perfect. In left field there is a giant coke bottle and a giant glove. I got to see them pretty well and I even got to touch them. Did you know that the giant coke bottle is actually a giant slide? You can actually pay to go down it. It was pretty cool. I've seen the glove and it almost looks real. I wish it was.

McCovey cove is also very cool. You can stand on the right field was and look out into San Fransico Bay. Every game, there is some idiot out in a cayac waiting for a home run ball. But I actually think that that is a very clever idea. Waiting for Barry Bonds to hit one deep may take a while but getting the ball is worth it. Saying that you have Barry Bonds' 745th home run would be something that I would remember for a long time. And just think, in fifty years that ball will be worth millions or maybe even billions of dollars! Hell, I would keep that ball until I died and then I would give it to my kid if he was responsible but if he wasn't I would give it to some homeless child who loved baseball. Back to the point standing or sitting on top of the right field wall is some experience! Looking out over the bay you might even see a seal or two. What an experience.

I personaly have never had the experience of sitting behind home plate at any baseball game for that manner. But I do bet it is amazing. Already in my lifetime I have caught 3 foul balls and 1 home run ball. The foul balls was from some no name and the big bat of Gary Sheffield. The home run ball was hit by Ruben Seirra another Yankee. Sittng behind home plate must be exciting but I would rather have the excitment running through my head saying stay alive and one might be hit towards you. Ah, it has happened obviously for I have a couple of souveniors But no line drives.

I normally sit on the third base line about eight rows back. I always have great seats cause my dad knows people from the Coke company. Maybe it was the Pepsi company? I don't know or care.

Well if you are ever in California go see a Giants game. Don't not see one because you don't like Barry Bonds. See one because I told you to. Have a great time at the ballpark. This is Scout signing off.

Cannibal Joke

There was a cargo shipment of Pepsi flying over Africa.
It suddenly had a malfunction, and crashed in the jungle.

A few days later, Pepsi sent a rescue plane to search for the plane and crew.
They found the wreckage, but were not able to locate the crew.
They searched the area and met with a tribe of cannibals.

They walked up to the Chief of the tribe and asked him if he knew anything about the crash.
The Chief nods and simply says, "Yes...seen plane crash".
When asked where the crew was, the Cheif replyed, "We ate the crew, and we drank the Pepsi!"

The Rescue crew was shocked. Another man asked, "Did you eat their legs?"
The chief replied, "We ate their legs, and we drank the Pepsi!"

Another rescuer asked, "Did you eat their arms?"
The Chief said, "We ate their arms, and we drank the Peps!"

Finally, another rescuer had to ask, "Did you..you know...eat their...things?"
The cheif says, "NO, you idoit!"... even cannibals know that...
"THINGS go better with Coke!"

Baseball Joke

A married woman is having an affair. Whenever her lover comes over, she puts her nine year old son in the closet. One day the woman hears a car in the driveway and puts her lover in the closet, as well.

Inside the closet, the little boy says, "It's dark in here, isn't it?

"Yes it is," the man replies.

"You wanna buy a baseball?" the little boy asks.

"No thanks," the man replies.

"I think you do want to buy a baseball," the little extortionist continues.

"OK. How much?" the man replies after considering the position he is in.

"Twenty-five dollars," the little boy replies.

"TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?!" the man repeats incredulously, but complies to protect his hidden position.

The following week, the lover is visiting the woman again when she hears a car in the driveway and, again, places her lover in the closet with her little boy.

"It's dark in here, isn't it?" the boy starts off.

"Yes it is," replies the man.

"Wanna buy a baseball glove?" the little boy asks.

"OK. How much?" the hiding lover responds, acknowledging his disadvantage.

"Fifty dollars," the boy replies and the transaction is completed. The next weekend, the little boy's father says, "Hey, son. Go get your ball and glove and we'll play some catch."

"I can't. I sold them," replies the little boy.

"How much did you get for them?" asks the father, expecting to hear the profit in terms of lizards and candy.

"Seventy-five dollars," the little boy says.

"SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?! That's thievery! I'm taking you to the church right now. You must confess your sin and ask for forgiveness, the father explains as he hauls the child away.

At the church, the little boy goes into the confessional, draws the curtain, sits down, and says "It's dark in here, isn't it?"

"Don't you start that crap in here now," the priest says.

I thought this joke was very funny. I hope you do too.

Liger Picture Post

Dude check out how big this thing is! The legendery animal from the hand of Napolean Dynamite has been realized as a true animal in recent years. These giant animals are a mix between a lion and a tiger. Getting the name liger was very simple for all you had to do was breed them.
These Ligers are huge! Look how big that one is! These guys are not a natural species so that means that they were kinda man made. These guys are freakin' sweet!

Help!!!

Help!!! I really need help. I need a topic for a science project. Every year this happens when I can't find a topic. If you know a cool science project please tell me.

Siberian Tigers

Siberian Tigers are the biggest of all living cats. Weighing in at 800 pounds, the 10 foot long predator is at the top of the food chain wherever they live. These cats are know mostly for their beautiful coat and their ferociousness toward people. Well in fact, these cats can be quite peaceful.

With heavily muscle limbs and body the tiger can take down just about anything from a small elephant to another tiger.The tigers paws and back legs are very big so that they can jump onto their prey and dig their claws in with great force. The main source of food for tigers is large, hooved mammals, but they will eat anything they can catch. Where wild prey is scarce, tigers will readily prey on livestock if it is available.The male tigers are much bigger than the females and this is common with many species.

Hopefully people will stop hunting these animals and start saving them!

Ring Tailed Lemurs

Lemur which means "ghost" in Madagascar fits their profile perfectly. These mysterious lookking animals are in fact, on the endangered list. These Lemurs which only populate southern Madagascar are found no where else in the world. For these black and white creatures that is a downside, for they are not doing so good population wise.

These 8 pound mammals are indeed very social and sometimes look for food in groups with up to 30 Lemurs. Now I've got to say it, these guys are very weird looking.In fact, all of the animals are weird looking on Madagascar. The Iguanas, Birds, Penguins, and Lizards are all very unique on this island. Now lemurs are endangered but they are on the uprise so good luck to them!

Tests

I don't know about you but I hate the idea of being forced to take a test the next day. Tomarrow I have a history test but I think I'm prepared. Do you hate tests if so comment.

Baritone Saxophone

In band there is a lot of different insruments that you can play. The French Horn, Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Drums, Tubas, and many many others. Personally I love to play the baritone Saxophone.

The Baritone Saxophone is the lowest pitched saxophone out of the regular Sax, Saprano Sax, and Tenor Sax. I love playing this monster of an instrument. The low pitched sound and great pitch gives this gentle giant a great singing voice. I mostly play base lines but those lines are the most important in the whole band or orchestra. I play in a fairly small band of 30 people. Lets just say that most of our talent graduated last year. Do you play an instrument? If so please comment and tell me because I am very interested in these sorts of things.

Work

Why does everyone hate work so much? I think it is because they ain't doing what they want. For example, I know a anonymous dude who really wants to be a Pro Baseball Player when he grows up. But the problem is that he can't even catch a ball. Nobody really wants to ruin his dream but he better not come to me sceaming in 30 years why he didn't have a back up plan. Dude it ain't my fault. That's what I would say right, but if he kept going nuts I would have to go kung foo on him. I don't know kung foo but I better learn if I want to keep my plan straight. I think there are tests that give you a career that you would be good at but lots of people don't because they think that they are on the right path.

Another example is if a man or woman wanted to be a surgeon but they had a twitchy right hand. Would I want a guy with a twitchy hand cutting me open with a scapal?
HELL NO I wouldn't want a man or woman cutting me open with a scapal! I'm just saying that my friends better not come sceaming at me when they figure out that they hate their job. I hope I don't go yelling at my friends. I really hope I don't.

Possible Career Paths

There is a lot of career paths so I'm gonna list them. And by the way this is what I think I might be doing in 20 years. These are not in order by the way. I hope I'm doing one of these!

1. Professional baseball player
2. Herpatologist
3. Actor
4. Dentist
5. Orthodontist
6. Principal
7. Teacher
8. Professionl Basketball Player
9. Professional Baseball Analyst
10. Coach
11. Manufacter
12. Veterinarian

Free Time

Have you ever noticed as you start to get older you loose your abbilty to use free time? Well I've noticed it. In fact, I was keen enough to notice that every second of free time i have I use it on the couch in front of the television. This time it can't be just me on the couch. Ask your self. Am I this way when I have free time or not?

Grizzly Bears

Grizzly bears used to be native to the Pacific coast but they have all been hunted down and killed in recent memory. Also naive to Asia, Africa, and Europe these huge bears roamed all over the world. Now confined to living in Alaska, Wyoming, and parts of Canada these Grizzly bears have been on the brink for a very long time. There is about 6,000 to 12,000 left in the wild in Canada. Did you know that only 15 pencent of their diet is meat? The rest of their diet consists of berries, herbs, roots, and plants. known for their greatfishing skills, these Grizzlys love to also eat salmon.

The Grizzly bear has a weight range of 300 pounds to 1500 pounds. The bears are huge. Compared to a regular black bear these bears are killer in size. Just seeing once might give you a heart attack. To catch their food they run at a speed of 35 miles an hour. If one attacks you, running will not save your life, you would probably die. The best thing to do is to cover your vitals and head. This could very well save your life some day.

These amazing creatures need coservation and maybe a little help with their enviornment. This big and hairy creatures need our help, period.

Mako Sharks

Did you know that Mako Sharks are the fastest fish in the world? Well they are. Thes 1200 pound fish are very fast and they reach speeds upward of 30 miles per hour. And get this these fish are known to jump out of the water. 20 feet out of the water that is! The Mako Sharks are seperated into two sub-species called the longfinned mako and the shortfinned mako. Both of these species are on the endangered species list. Many people accidentely hook them on their fishing poles thinking that they are Blue Sharks and once they get them to the boat it has been known to get very dangerous. These Mako look a lot like the Great White Sharks and sometimes thought to be maneaters.

Thes sharks are very aggressive and has been known to viciously attack humans along the Mississipi. The Shortfinned Makos populate the Mississipi tributaries in great numbers. Even though they are on the endangered list that doesn't mean there isn't a lot left.

The female mako sharks have a great potential of reaching 1600 pounds, 400 pounds more than the males. That is a big differential! I can't even imagine what would happen if I got attack by a mako. Yet alone, I can't imagine what would happen if any shark attacked me.

The mako is the fastest, quickest fish in the ocean. I hope that we don't kill of this amazing predator. I can't believe that they are on the endangered species list

Jaguars

The top predator in South America has reached it's downfall once again. The 200 pound Jaguars that roam South America are going exsctinct along with the Giant Anteater and Giant Otters. The Jaguar isn't the biggest big cats but it sure is the stealthiest. These Jaguars do grow up to 8 feet long and that is including their tail. These Jaguars very much resemble a Pit Bull more than a cheetah. With their short, and stocky appearence these animals can take down just about anything from Cabybaras to Kamin. Appearrence in color varies between the South American Jaguar. They are spotted, pitch black and sometimes even a mixture of both. But normally it is one or the other.

Jaguars are excellent swimmers and fisherman. Unlike most cats these Jaguars love the water. In fact, a main food source for the Jagaurs is the fish that swim up along the banks of the rivers. Most cats that live in jungle areas like to settle down in trees but this cats prefers not to climb. The Jaguar would much rather live in a cave than a tree. Unlike there African cousin the Leopard, These Jaguars eatin brushy areas or the Jaguars will bury their meal for later. Other than humans these big cats have no natural enemys and get this, Giant Anteaters have been known to kill a Jaguar. Ain't that something or what. Also, Jaguars teeth are worn around many peoples neck for it is beleives to preent snakebite. Maybe I should try that, Nah I would probably get bit and die.

Jaguars are mostly solitary unless they give birth to young (2 t0 3) We need to protect these solitary animals or else they will go exstinct.

Statue of Liberty

One of the things I've always wanted to do along with going to another coutry or going to the World Series would be to see the Statue of Liberty. I know that the French gave it to us and that it is very important so I want to be able to tell my kids that I saw it in person. You know that if someone shoots it with a rocket that it will be gone. I really need to see that before there is another person like Saddam Hussien. Seeing the Statue of Liberty would mean a lot to me so I hope I get to see it soonbefore the big boom. I was just thinking, if I was in the Statue when a terrorist attacked what would I do? And then I thought to myself.... I would jump right!I don't know what I'd do but I hope I live.

Giant Otters

Just a couple of days ago I was watching a new show on Animal Planet There was this guy named Nigel and he was feeding these giant otters. Giant Otters are named Giant Otters for a reason. These arn't your normal fuzzy little 2 foot long otters. These otters can and do grow up to 6 feet long! Well anyway this Nigel dude was feeding them with his hands. What an idiot. These otters are carnivores and the Nigel dude said that hee has seen them bite each other in half when they don't get along or when another otter comes into their territory. These otters are like something you would see in a sci-fi movie if you know what I mean. Headline " Giant Otters Attack! " I would definetly see that. As I said these otters can grow up to 6 feet long and on average, weigh up to 70 pounds. They live in southern America along the amazon. Has anyone noticed that everything around that area is ether dangerous or 60 feet long? Maybe it is just me. These Giant Otters will eat 10 pounds of pirahana every day and just to show you how tough they are these otters occasionely take down a crocodile. That's just nuts.
These animals are on the Endangered Species List and are in critical need of conservation. These otters are the rarest of all otters and people barely get to see them because they live in very remote areas very far away from humans. During the 70's, these animals were hunted down and killed for their soft, lucious coat. Although there is a stable population now the are on the brink of exstiction.
Can you beleive that us humans are wiping out different species of animals one by one? I am appauled by our behavior. Maybe we can help these animals with in the state, city, or town. Along with many other animals , the Giant Otter my become exstinct.

Pluto the Dog Wink Wink

Pluto is now not a planet according to astrologists. This changes my childhood a lot and in fact I did a repot on Pluto in the second grade. 8 instead of 9? This changes everything.

Cursed I Tell You, CURSED!!!

Well I was right again. Well this pretty much explains itself. Jump.....Kickflip.....Crash.....And Burn! I swear every year at the begining of school I have I painful experience with some sort of hard surface, such as cement, rock, dirt( very hard dirt don't cha know! ), and brick. This year it turned out to be cement. To get to the point I tore a ligament or ligaments ( not known for sure ) in my left foot. I know all of you are saying that how stupid do I have to be to tear ligaments in my foot right? Right? Well actually it is very easy and in fact. I had some witnesses that could tell you the same exact thing right? HE IS DUMB. JUST DUMB. I bet all of you are just dying to learn what happened so I think I'll tell you.

Yesterday, as you all know, I went skateboarding with my friend around town. We were all having a great time. We were all trying new jumps and tricks. Of course I landed all of my jumps and tricks. What are you related to me or what? How did I get hurt if I landed everything? Tell me that. Well I guess I could've been hit by a car but I wasn't so there you go. I'll just let you all assume while I go into grave detail about the day's unbelievable actions. First off we were all being stupid and all of us were jumping and flipping and crunching into the ground. Well my stupid stunt of the day was jumping off a stair and twisting my ankle/foot. Iit is going to take 3-6 weeks to heal. Isn't that great. I'll come back and write more as I go get a Advil. See you in a half hour.

Get A Grip

Today my dad is taking us to town. My sister's are going to get some stuff at Target and most importantly I have to go to town to get some new grip tape for my skateboard. Most likely I am probably going to get some Black Magic Grip tape but if they have any blue grip tape I am totally going to get that.

Yesterday I was looking at a great skate website called ccs.com. I saw some really cool stuff there. Like new decks, trucks, and wheels. I like my board better though. I'm also going to get a deck or complete board off of ebay.com. I hope I can get one just in case my or anyone elses deck snaps. Next weekend I'm going to ask my friends Chad and Austin if they want to go to the skatepark with me and my dad. I hope they say yes because I might get them on my team like I already told you about. We need all the practice we can get. I also might get a half-pipe for us. I not rich but I can buy it if I want to. Hopefully, this all works out for the best.

DOG I'M OUTTA HERE!

Skating

You know, I was thinking and I probably won't save up to get a computer just yet. In my house we have four computers that I can type on. I don't think I need one just yet. That doesn't mean I won't still save up it just mean that I won't get one for a year or two. But you know how we kids are, and my mom made the point that the thing I used to want was shoes, then skateboards, then t-shirts and all that junk. But I really do think that I'm going to buy a new skatedboard deck. They are only $30 so I think I can spare. I have a master plan that I can put into action. Okay here it is, I buy a new Blind deck for a low price and I'll put my previously owned trucks on the deck. I'll buy some new wheels and poof! New complete skateboard. I'm so awesome.

There's No Skating Here

Today after school I went with my friend Austin to go skate around town. We went all the way down Main Street to the nursing home. I was going to clear a five stair but I didn't have enough leverage. On Sunday I plan on going again on Sunday with my hommies, luckely, We are getting another person.

I ride Blind. Not literally but that is the company that makes my decks. The deck is the wood that you stand on. The deck I have is an awesome son of a gun. It is all blue and it has a black logo in the middle. I'll see if I can find a picture. Hold on a moment. Well no, I couuldn't find it. It was made a while back so I probably won't find it. Gonna go skate. See ya later!

YEA LETS GO!!!!!!!!!

My Dog is the Worst

Today I was skateboarding in my neighbors driveway when my devil dog escaped. She ran over to the neighbor's yard and she ate their cat food! I chased Dyna around their yard until she ate the rest of the cat food. Then, I finally picked her up but she was covered in mud and she was all wet. What a doof.

Oooohh Braces

Evedently according to my orthodontist and mother I Scout have to get braces. Everyone says braces hurt but I think that they are over reacting. Braces are to make sure that your teeth align in perfect order. Would you rather have horrible and ugly teeth or pain to make the go away? I would rather have the pain. Or pan to the face. Whatever works. Nobody in my family has ever needed braces. 4 years of pain, who cares. I'm sure I'll be caring after I get them on. Well my mom has this story about a toothpick.. or a popsicle stick... or something...and her teeth were better blah di blah...blah. I need braces, plain and simple not horribly but relatively badly. Smile! Cheese!

College, If It Works Out

Obviously I want to go to Michigan State University for college. My Mother and her sister and Grandfather went there for their education and I would like to also. My grandfather played baseball in college and went on to play pro-ball. My mom got her Master's in math. (I think) And I have no idea what my Aunt studied. Baseball and herpatoligy are my focal points in life and I would really like to do one of these things for money. My mom says that if I want to get into this college I need to take geometry and biology in 9th grade and work my way up to Calculus and the Physics. I also need to take Honor's English and I also need to master spanish. (2-3 years)I also need to work hard in baseball. These next couple of years are the years that are going to define me and my life. A scholarship would be a great addition of money to my college fund. I hope I get a full ride!

Last year I went to visit my Aunt in Michigan. We went to the MSU campus and it was so cool. In the picture above is a bell/clock tower called the Bomant tower. I just did some research and I have to have a GPA between 3.4-3.8 which is practically an A average. I also have to have a SAT or ACT combined score of over 1236 which my mom say isn't to big of a set back and that I should be just fine. The college looks at leadership and past test scores also. I haven't gotten my SAT test scores back yet but I hope I did well. There was a kid 2 grades below me who aced the math portion. I didn't even know he was smart! Michigan State is an Agricultural college so studying animals and veterinary tecniques isn't going to be a problem. The atheletics system at MSU is very good. Maybe I can follow in my Grandpa's footsteps. Who knows? Maybe I can.

The First Day

Everyone knows what the first day of school feels like. You know everyone there but it seems like you don't know anyone at all. Especially the girls. Nobody really wants to talk so I preety much had to strike up conversation all day long. The first day of school is always a half-day so i just got out about an hour ago. Our school has just made the change from openable desks to the ones that have a chair built in to the desk I swear all day the only thing I heard from anybody was: Why won't my chair scoot in or I hate this school. As I mentioned in a previos post, the upper-grade bathrooms have been torn down and replaced but they arn't finished yet. Figures. We eighth graders can't go to the bathroom unless we want to go in a 3 inch wide toliet. I don't know about everyone else but I'm holding it.

This year the school board hired a new teacher during vacation and she seems to be an okay teacher. She's nice, smart, and seems (keyword seems) to like kids. This year I'm taking Algebra 1 and I don't think that this teacher minds making us learn. She made us have homework today. Syllabus. What does that mean? Anyway all we had to do is make our parents sign it. Easy like pie. I like pie a lot! But sorry folks it is not easy to make.

Swithing classes wasn't as bad as I thought. It was actually kinda invigorating. Sitting down is not my specialty so it was a great experience. We have five minutes in between classes so we get to chat or whatever. This was a great day and it went by fast.

This year is the year I've been waiting for. The last year of science projects. Last year I went to county for the project I did. I won some money and it actually turned out to be fun. Science projects are just a pain in the butt. It always ends up that I am getting a topic 3 minutes before the due date! I would like to go to county again this year so I could get some cash. And for experience. Oh yeah, I forgot. The new teacher made us write down on a card what college we wanted to attend. Of course I wrote Michiigan State University! She told use this story about one of her previos students and how she wanted to go t Santa Cruz State but she couldn't because she didn't take the right classes early. She told her sister who was just coming in to high school to take advanced classes so that she could choose what college she wanted to go to. Her sister is now a teacher in a local school. I better get into some advanced classes when I'm in High School or else I might have made a mistake. I wouldn't be able to go back and change what I did unless I had a genie or something.

My toe ended up not bothering me as much as I thought it would. One person stepped on it but that's about the most pain I've had all day. I played basketball and we were going to play football but we couldn't find one. That was okay by me though. At my school I'm an athelete, so I love to play on the school sport teams. Especially baseball. Our coach has to be the funniest guy in the world. What a crack up. I mean today in P.E he talked to us all about barf and were to go to barf. What a weirdo.

I hope the rest of the school year will go by fast and slow. But mostly fast. Mybe it will be fun. You never know.

Sticks and Stones Will Break Your Bones

Ever since I broke my arm in kindergarden and 4th grade my life has been totally different. I swear ever since I broke it I gained like 10 mph on my fastballs. I throw a really good curveball, and change-up. I don't know why this has happend but it did. In kindergarden I fell out of a tree and in fourth grade I fell off the Monkey Bars. Isn't that weird?

I'm Hatin' It

McDonalds used to be the place to go when I was five but now they don't even care about the food they make let alone their customers. What I think that we need to do is replace one of the McDonalds' and get a Carl's Jr. up in here. I personally hate Miccy D's but what are we gonna use 2 of them for? Come on let's get ourselves a Carl's Jr.

Instrumental Geniuses

For the past 5 years I have been playing different types of saxophone for my school. This year I'm playing the Baritone Sax for Advanced Band. Our band was at it's greatest last year but now we are just inexperienced. My sister plays clarinet and she is also in the band along with all her weird little and some big friends. Don't you just love playing with a band that doesn't practice? I practice but it doesn't seem like a lot people except the 5th years practice. I love band and all but I don't think a lot of people like it at all.

Again My Puppy Tries to Kill Me

Just a half hour ago my puppy, or devil whichever you prefer, made me run out into our dry pastuer to get her. I had to go get her because of the Bad Dogs that we have next door. I cut my foot again but luckely, it was on the bottom of my foot. She is the Devil Dog!!!! Sometimes I hate her and sometimes I don't. Well any if your dog or cat is like this please leave a comment. RRRRRAAHHH I HATE THAT DOG!!!!!!!!!!

My Toe

Yesterday my puppy ran out onto the road so of course Mister Me had to run out and get her. I ended up rinning out there with no shoes on to go get her before she got smushed by a big rig. My puppy is part great dane so she is so so so so so heavy. I grabbed her and I ran for my driveway. Halfway there I stubbed my toe on one of the rocks sticking up out of the road.

"Oww. Stupid dog" I said. Not knowing that my big toe was a big bloody mess.

I carried her all the way to the gate where my lazy dad said is the dog all right, and thank the lord you where here and all that jazz. I carried her through the gate spanked her and started talking to my dad who was still in his work clothes.

" Dad why is it that Dyna (our dog) always escapes when we are watching her? It's like she wants to make us have a heart attack or something." I said.

" Ya well anyway thanks for getting her she wouldn't come when I caled her name. Stupid, stupid dog." said my dad.

And then I looked down for no obvious reason and saw my bloody foot. It was like in the movies you know, a double take. Bam, Bam. " Oh God," I said " look at my toe." My toe was ripped up and the weird thing was, was that I had had no pain until I saw it.

There was dirt in the wound and all the skin on the tip off my toe was practically ripped off. I took a bath and cleaned out all the dirt. There was still some dirt underneath the flap of skin so I ripped it off. It hurt so bad.

Every year it seems like I go to school injured. For example, last year I practically broke my foot diving off of a diving board. I got an X-ray and it was negative. It was a sprain but a serious one. I went to the first day of school with crutches. That would be a day that I would always remember. I swear every person in the whole school asked me what had happened.

For the second consecutive year I go to school injured. This isn't just going to mess up the first day of school but I have to miss BASEBALL PRACTICE today. Isn't that just great.

I hope the fourth of an inch of skin growns back before tomarrow. Highly unlikely no. Not even a 1% chance of this happen over night. But it will feel better by tomarrow. Toe healing practices are not yet invented so I'm pretty sure I'll be limping tomarrow. At least I'll get to see my frriends for the first time in 3 months.

Computer Man

I have decided that I'm going to save up and get a computer. It's a Dell and it is really cool. It is currently $594 but I'm already somewhat of the way there moneywise. Figures. All of my money is in change! $81.50 in quarters! I just found a 20 in my pants yesterday so that helps a lot! My Aunt Kris is giving me $100 and my grandfather is giving me $50. My mom also said I would get some money from them and a really cool desk! This is going to be great. Me and my friend Tanner are going to be able to photoshop pictures and play gam.s in my new room. This is going to be awesome. And guess what guys? I'm gonna be blogging back there a lot! I hope this works out for the best. All I need is $350 and I'm there baby. Yes, this is gonna be sweet

The Most Ballin' ......

I'm at my friends house today and we are trying to beat Halo and Halo 2 on Legendery. So far it's not working out. Normally we kick a$$ on Halo but we never tryed Legendery or Heroic. Halo 2 and Halo 1 both have their downsides so I'm going to list them. Halo 2 is a great game and all but I hate that you have to play as the Arbitor and you have to beat the other bad guys which I can't remember the names of them at all! Again I hate that you play as the Covenant. In Halo 2 you also have upsides like the new selection of guns. The Covenant Carbine and the Fuel Rod Cannon are my personal favorie. Halo1 just plain and simple gets on my freakin' nerves! It just isn't the same game after you play Halo 2. Well anyway Halo 2 and Halo1 are my favorite games. Those games are the most ballin games EVER!!!!!!!!!

School is Starting

Once again in this lifetime I have to start school once again. I'm in 8th grade so this is my last year at my school. I'm thinking about running for President but I don't think it is going to happen because I'm horrible at writing speeches. Everyday school gets closer and closer. Last night I went up to the school and saw what class I'm in. The teacher I have is a great teacher and I've had her before. The school got new desks this year. You know, the ones with the built in chairs. The school has made a lot of changes since when we got out a couple months ago. New bathrooms, new paint, no bushes, and the big change is that we have 2 sets of books. School starts tomarrow and I'm totally ready. I can't wait until tomarrow morning even though my best bud isn't in my class.

The Mets

The Mets are doing really well this year with Carlos Beltran, Jose Reyes, David Wright, and Carlos Delgado all in the line-up. I just read a blog entry called I Want a Girl in a Baseball Cap and he is a big Mets fan so I thought I'd write about the Mets today. Carlos Beltran is having another great year with the Mets. Beltran has a batting average of .284 with 33 homers and 97 r.b.i. With Beltran and Delgado ( who has 26 homers ) batting side by side the Mets are pretty much unbeatable other than the few teams that are better than them. I wish the Orioles had gotten Carlos Beltran when he was a free agent!

Rookie E.r.a

E.r.a or earned runs average is a very important stat on the pitchers part. The e.r.a of a pitcher is very hard to calculate if not known how so I'm just going to make it simple. The more runs a pitcher gives up in a single game the higher his e.r.a is. Francisco Liriano of the Minnesota Twins is leading the Major Leagues with an e.r.a of 2.19. This pitcher is one of the best rookies to come out of college this year. To put it simple, he is the Twins future star pitcher. And that is a fact.

School Shopping

School shopping is always fun for me since I get to get a new wardrobe. This year I got to get a new pair of shoes and 5 shirts from my mom. They are very unique,which is a plus on my part because I always like having things that other people don't. The shoe brand that I got are Etnies. Etnies are my favorite brand of shoes because of how long they last. Hommes are what the shoes I got are called. As you can see in the picture, the inside of the E is a green plaid pattern along with the tongue. These shoes are so comfortable. Did you know that you could design your own shoes at etnies.com? It is so cool! Even though I'm not getting some custom shoes I'm 99.9% that no one at my school will have this pair of shoes! I went to a store called Sports Chalet and I got 3 shirts. Two Billabong shirts and one Quiksilver shirt. All of the shirts are brown. I like brown. A lot! I also got this awesome Hurley hat. It is tan and gold. Sweeeeet!!! I haven't bought any pairs of shorts yet but I will. I've always wondered why the call a pair of shorts a pair of shorts? Have you? Well anyway school starts in about a week, I hope I have fun this year.

David Ortiz and the Red Sox

David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox has hit his 40th home run today against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays today even though they lost they are still in the playoff race. Because of Jason Varitek's injuries to his leg the Red-Sox have aquired Javy Lopez from the Orioles on waivers. Because of this addition I still think they could finish in 1st place.

Double Backflip!!!

Yesterday, legend Travis Pastrana pulled off the greatest trick ever in Motocross history, Travis pulled off a double backflip on a indoor dirt ramp to get the gold in X-games 2006. And also he is the only one ever to pull this off without dying. Travis Pastrana has just set a new limit in X-games history. Pretty cool huh!

Battle of the Bands

Who is my favorite rock band? Who?... Who?... Who?... It would have to be a toss-up between Panic! At the Disco, A.F.I., and Rock Kitty. Panic! At the Disco has a couple of good songs like But it's Better if You Do, and I Write Sins not Tragides. Personally I like I Write Sins not Tragidies better. A.F.I has one great song in Miss Murder. Great rythmes and melodies make this song a #1 hit. But it's not. And finally, I get to talk about Rock Kitty. Rock Kitty has many #1 hits such as Don't Touch my Cat Nip, That's my Litterbox, I HATE WATER, Yummy Yummy Mouse, and Cat Fight. With GG on the bass ( right Bottom ) and Nippy at guitar ( right top ), this dynamic duo has topped the charts many times over. With great vocals, playing, rythmes, and on stage damcing th Killer Cats kick butt with for T's. Last year I went to a Rock Kitty Concert and I fell in love. Not in a bad way .. not with the kittys.. but with the the music. If you haven't heard them play switch the T.V channel to IKM ( International Kitty Music ). You will be shocked. Nippy and GG are two talented kittys soon to become the big chunk in the litter box. Hopefully you get to hear these kittys soon before the litter box gets cleaned out. These kittens are prodigies, experts and of course little. To all you kittens with musical talent don't give up hope and to all you non-prodigy players out there give it up, you suck. To all prodigies Good Lick and Katpoop.

Guns?

Me and my dad are thinking of getting a gun. Even though they are very dangerous if not handle properly we really need one for the pesky little varmits around our home. In fact, just last night one of my friends shot and killed a racoon with a .22. We don't just need it for racoons and squirrels, we also need it for protection from these dogs we have next door and BURGLARS! The dogs that we have next door are very dangerous. In fact, they are so dangerous that we arn't even allowed to go in my backyard any more! The dogs are seperated from us by a 4 foot fence I'm sure they could clear it with ease. The gun we are thinking of getting is a Crosman Air Rifle Model 764SB from amazon.com. It is affordable and easy to use. I in fact, have some expierience with guns which would help my family be safe. Just in case the dogs clear the fence we would be fully equiped with a good gun. The description of this gun states that it shoots pellets and bbs which is a plus, it is a Pump Rifle, and it shoots up to 625 feet per second! I really want this gun, so I just really want this gun. Guns are not just to kill things but also for protection. Frankly, we shouldn't live up here without a gun. It's just not safe.

National Football League

I love all sports from baseball to football so today I'm going to write about the National Football League and my favorite team ... the Indianapolis Colts. Peyton Manning is my favorite football player and you should know why. Last yearPeyton the Colts to a 14-2 record. They almost went undefeated until they lost to the San Deigo Chargers in week 14. Peyton and his brother Eli will play each otheron week 1 of this season. With the aquired players such as Lavar Arrington and older players such as Micheal Strahan and Tiki Barber the Colts will have a tough time beating the Giants in week 1. Ever since the Colts lost Edgerin James this off-season the Colts haven't been impressing me yet. Their 1st round draft pick, Morooney I think should start over Dominique Rhodes this year. Knowing Peyton and his comercials, he and his brother are probably going to place a bet against each other. Peyton Manny, as my sister calls him, hopfully has another great year with Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne.


Go Colts!

The Terrifying Twins

Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins is one hot rocket. He is batting .367 with 8 homers and 57 r.b.i. this season. Mauer, who has a lifetime average of .323, is young and a great player. Since Mauer gaot drafted three years ago he has been a great addition to the Twins. Even though he has hit very close to .300 each year he doesn't have much power he still is a living legend, well he isn't yet, but he will be for sure.

Hitting for the Cycle

Carlos Guillen of the Detroit Tigers hit for the rare cycle today agaist the Devil Rays. In case you guys don't know the term Hitting for the Cycle mean getting a triple, double, single, and a homerun all in one game. This is so rare that most players don't even com close to Hitting for the Cycle in their career. Guillen is not a superstar but he is a big part of the Tigers line-up. He's batting .299 with 12 home runs and 62 r.b.i. This is one rare thing so GO WATCH SPORTCENTER!
