Hi

Recently I've been having a lot of trouble trying to decide what to blog about. Well, not really. I just need to think about it for about 5 minutes. Well, today I went to the State Fair again, this time with school. But I've been typing about that for the past days. Oh and I'm typing this on my Dad's iPad. Sorry if you were expecting something better today.

Addicting Games

www.addictinggames.com is an awesome site for games. It has games for just about everything. There's not that much else to blog about it. Just go and look at it.

Randomness Number Whatever

I think I'll write some randomness stuff around every two weeks. And the last time I wrote was 14 days ago.

State Fair Adventure

I went to the State Fair again today and went on the Sky Tram first thing. I went in the same car with Lydia. She turned around, and her arm hit my glasses, and sent them flying 30 feet to the ground. Luckily they didn't shatter; the only damage was the lens popping out. But the frame was too tight to snap it back in place so we had to wait until we got home to loosen the frame and pop it back in. So then I had to walk around for the rest of the fair having every sign a blur. But at least I could see if I was going to run into something. In a way it was a good thing. I didn't have to worry that at the top of the Ferris Wheel my glasses would fall off and play Plinko all the way down, bouncing off of every metal strut to the ground far below.

A Little Quiz

Today's post is going to see how much you can remember about this blog. Try to answer the questions without looking back through it. So here goes. 

1. Who was the first interview I ever posted about?

2. Who was the Terrific Ten written by?

3. How often have I posted about randomness? (Within 2)

4. What dinner theater did I go to?

5. True or False: I blogged about the NFL.

Now go back and check yourself (all of the answers are in the blog.) Here's the scale;

1-2: Ehh. Not bad. Maybe you should go back through and read it some more.

3-4: Nice job, loyal reader.

5: Woah. Kinda freaking me out there.

Legos

Lego's are great toys for kids and an adult's inner kid. There are literally thousands of different parts, and you can use them to build almost anything. They're a lot of fun for kids, who can let their imagination dictate what they play with, so if they wanted to be a rock star that day they could build a guitar, or if they wanted to be an astronaut they could build a rocket. They're fun for adults too, who can recreate characters or scenes from movies, TV shows, or just everyday life. And don't forget the just plain crazy creations, like life-sized cars, or a 16-foot long battleship. So if you have some Lego's, go play with them. And if you don't, go beg your parents (or the part of you that doesn't want to spend money) to go get some, because, let's face it, Lego's are just plain awesome!

IMax

Earlier today I went the the Hastings Museum and saw the 3D film Tornado Alley. It turned out to be about the same experiment that I had read a bunch about in one of the Popular magazines I get. It also was about a vehicle that was pretty much a tank (except without the turret) that was for getting inside tornadoes. Here's a wiki article about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tornado_Intercept_Vehicle

State Fair

Sorry I didn't post yesterday, I was at the State Fair until around 8:30 and then we had to drive home so we had to go to bed when we got home. We watched some shows then went to the Sky Tram. It was pretty cool but it was sprinkling when we got on so the rain was flying in our faces. Me and Lyd were shivering the whole time. After that we looked at all the outdoor vendors. (Case IH had a pedal-powered ferris wheel at their booth.) Then we looked at the inside ones. The Central Community College booth had a 3D printer, although it wasn't running. And they had a remote control car that you build in one of the classes. I really want to take some of those classes soon.

Bikes

Bikes are cool. They're one of the best forms of transportation around. And they're definitely the best kind of transport that doesn't burn fossil fuels. You can go pretty fast and far too. And if you have a bunch of old ones they're great for hacking and using the pedals and stuff. I once saw someone who turned a bike into a sled thing by putting two skis on the back and one on the steering thing. So go out and bike! (Yeah I don't know why I've been ending like that recently.)

OpenTTD

OpenTTD stands for Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Basically it's a game where you build roads, train tracks, canals, and airports, to connect different towns and industries. For example, you can make a bus route between two cities to transport people. Or make a train route between a coal mine and a power plant. Then you try to get some money. It's pretty difficult. (For me.)  http://www.openttd.org/en/

Ikey Loves Dora!

Now we get a post from Ike. (Thanks Ike!) And this was what I was going to blog about today so nice coincidence Ike. But I guess I told him to watch it... Anyway, here it is:

Dora is awesome!!! Well, when she has a remote that will make explosions and she's not animated and she has a gun and likes to kill bad guys. (woo hoo dora!)  I can't put the video here 'cause I'm not using blogger, I'm emailing this to Samuel who will put it on the blog. So I'll put a link.   http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=TnpTcrtsN3U  IT'S AWESOME!! Basically, Swiper takes something and Dora gets a gun and a remote that makes explosions and goes and gets him!! WWOOOO HOOOOOO DORA!!! Someone pleeeaasse make that into a movie. It would rock. Okay, I'm done. Sorry for the short post, I'm not really an expert on blogging.

Ike just so you know that post was longer than most of mine! Oh and I posted the video for you.

Watermelons!

Watermelons are delicious. And in the past they were a sign of success. (Little history for you.) And they make you pee. All in all they're a great fruit. But alas, no one knows how to pick one! You see people knocking on them in stores, but no one really knows what they're listening for. (I think.) Well, that's a nice little something on watermelons. Now I want some. I WANT WATERMELON BUT MY SISTER ATE IT ALL WAAAH!!! I'm good.

BattleBots

 BattleBots is a robot competition where basically there are different robots and they try to slice each other up. Just go to YouTube and search for either Battlebots or Robot Wars. Both are pretty awesome. They have saw blades and knives and there are saw blades coming out of the floor that they have to avoid and stuff. And for Robot Wars there are other robots that come out and try to kill the disabled robot after the other one has injured it. It's completely awesome.

I Can Has Cheezburger

www.icanhascheezburger.com is an awesome website with a bunch of funny animal pictures with captions. I could literally spend hours looking through it all. You should go. And maybe even make your own. It's pretty popular cause, you know, kitties are just plain funny!

One Thing To Cheer You Up

By now most of us are pretty much back in the dreary endless grind of school. Sometimes it can be depressing. But one thing that always cheers me up is saying funny words! Marshmallow and bob are my two top favorites. And try turning an ordinary word into a word like a cuss word. It helps relieve stress (at least for me) and also cheers you up. For example, I've basically turned Bob into my multi-purpose word. I can use it for insults and cussing without getting in trouble, mainly because it doesn't hurt anybody's feelings and sometimes it can make them laugh! It started out just saying it consciously a few times a day, and then within a few days it worked it's way into my subconscious and now I say it without thinking about it. So, I challenge you to take a random word and make it into your multipurpose word. And it helps if the word is one syllable. Just try different words and see if any one of them works it way into your brain. Then tell me about it in the comments!

Pwease Send in Guest Posts? Pwease!!!

Yeah as the title says I need people to send me blog posts. And also, digital begging can be fun! Yeah I ran out of ideas for today so I thought posting this would take care of today's post, get posts for later, and have a humorous title. (Hopefully.) So...yeah. Send in posts!

Middle School

So far middle school isn't bad. That's partly because I haven't learned anything. But I think I've figured out my good teachers and the sort of bad ones. And having a locker combination is fun! And I think one of the best things is that, because I think it's prepared onsite, the food is way better than elementary school! Even if one of the main dishes is gross, there's a different one! But you want to know the best part about lunch? Free water! (That was sarcasm you know.)

RANDOMNESS!!!

I just realized that I haven't typed random stuff for almost 22 DAYS!!! (Yeah geeks don't really like making guesses when figuring it out doesn't, you know, take a few hours. I get way too hungry to do that.)(Oh and say the next part in a game show announcer voice.) So now it's time for...RANDOMNESS!!! Right after these messages from our sponsors...


And we're back! Now, for those of you who are new to the show, here's how it works:
Each contestant will have to say the most random thing possible. After all three people have gone, our judges will judge the paragraphs. And here, WE, GOOOOOOOOO!!!

Bob: Bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon cheese bacon marshmallow bob you bacon bacon bacon bacon bacon cheeseburger bacon bacon crazy hamster bacon bacon bacon bacon cheeeeeeeeeese.

Now that's a nice bacony sentence.  Now on to Joe.

Joe: Now, if a zebra falls out of the sky into your backyard, grab a frying pan and hit it with a rubber chicken. Then call a taxi, throw a potato in the back, and run down the street like a psychotic goose. Ride your trashcan into the candy store, eat a carrot, and hop on a mail truck. Hitchhike to NASA, tie yourself to a rocket, light it with a pig, and go to Mars. Steal a jetpack from the little green men, then go back to Earth. After that, go to the park and
Whoa whoa whoa. Slow down a bit buddy. Okay, you passed the limit for the randomish, although it was pretty random. Now on to Steve.

Steve: I was sippin’ a drink made of coconut and mango, with some pineapple juice too.
Then I saw a guy wearing a banana suit, and I said, Hey you!

Take me down, to banana world,
take me down, to banana world
take me down, to banana world
Yeah yeah yeah
He took me on a boat to the middle of the sea,
and I said

Ooooooohh!!! Steve passed the limit also!

Now let's go to the judges.

Well, Bob's was not that random. But the baconness makes it awesome. 7.5!

Joe's was a classic Faithism, one which would have been worth a 10 if he had not gone over the limit. 7.5!

And Steve's was a bit new. A random thing in song form! But, again, he passed the limit. 7.5!

It's a tie! Congratulations contestants! And we'll be back! Or not! On the next episode, of, RANDOMNESS!!!

Last Day of Freedom

Today is the last day of summer vacation. (At least for me.) Tomorrow it's back to school. But there are some good things about the fall. For one, you can jump in leaves and stuff.  And Halloween. And...yeah that's all I got.

Bats

Recently there's been a bat in the First Baptist Church in Hastings flying around. This morning it started flying around the sanctuary during the announcements. A lot of people thought it was a bird. I think bats are pretty cool. I mean, they hang upside down, can collapse their skeletons to fit under doors, and are one of the only mammals that can fly! Their wings are also cool. They're like arms and stick forward when they fly. And they help eat mosquito's!

Koolaid!

Today was the main day of Kool-Aid Days in Hastings NE, which is the hometown of Kool-Aid. It had the worlds largest Kool-Aid stand! Kool-Aid's awesome. I mean, it's a powder, then you mix water and sugar with it and it makes a delectable drink! Kool-Aid is the savior of thirsty kids everywhere!

Random Blog Updates

Yeah like the title says here's some random updates on this blog's status.
1. I still haven't had anybody ask for an invite to the game Glitch. So if you want it hurry and comment!
2. So far I've still had at least a few views everyday for the complete life of my blog! Thanks for being loyal readers!
3. Because school is starting I might have to switch to posting three times a week. I'll tell you if I plan to switch.
4. But you can help me keep posting everyday by sending me ideas and sending in guest posts! So far I've only had one guest post (Faith.) And if you have your own blog or website I'll put a link on it so a portion of people who see my blog will go to yours!

So that's the most important updates. I guess. Well they're not really updates...more just like random pieces of info...Okay forget this bottom part. You never saw it. ;)

Smash Lab

Smash Lab is a TV show that's sort of like Mythbusters, because they blow stuff up. But Smash Lab gets assigned problems (car crash, car off a cliff, hijacked big rig) and they have to come up with solutions. It's a pretty awesome TV show and if you have Netflix you should watch it.

Back to School

So school starts in a week, at least for me. So back to the endless cycle of waking up early, getting ready, going to school, sit in a bunch of different rooms for absolutely no reason at all and listen to some random person ramble on about some random subject. Well, maybe it's not like that. But you at least get to see your friends and stuff. If only they didn't make you learn stuff!

Dinner Theaters

I went to the Boulder Dinner Theater with my cousins for Cinderella. I didn't really like the dinner part, (vegetarian tamales with corn all mushed up and stuff. Bleagh. And not even any pop.) But the theater part was awesome. The Cinderella wasn't like the Disney one. It was like a comedy and I was laughing out loud for at least half of it. And the guys playing the two stepsisters were HILARIOUS!!!

10 Things To Do On Roadtrips

1. Read
2. Listen to audiobooks. (Seriously. I listened to Gulliver's Travels for probably 4 hours on my recent trip.)
3. Eat. (Ask for 20 piece chicken nuggets at McDonalds. It's only 80 cents more than the 10 pieces, and it occupies you for at least 20 minutes.)
4. Listen to the radio.
5. Play on electronic gadgets.
6. Talk. Be social. Bleah.
7. Argue with your siblings.
8. Look out the window.
9. Sleep.
10. SING!!! (And make everybody else cry.)

Glitch

Glitch is an awesome game. It's in Beta though. You either need someone to invite you or get on the long waiting list for it. The first person who writes a comment with their email address and says they want an invite I'll send them and invite. And maybe if someone else does ask the person who did get it can invite them and it can spread. Oh and you can only get 3 invites. Here it is, (even though it's obvious) www.glitch.com

Phineas and Ferb

Phineas and Ferb is an awesome TV show. If you don't know what it is fine. Phineas and Ferb is about two brothers who build humongous stuff every day. It basically has three plots that mix together. There's Phineas and Ferb, Phineas and Ferb's older sister named Candace, who is trying to bust the boys, and their pet platypus who is actually a secret agent who fights against the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz. And Dr. Doofenshmirtz's rays make the boys inventions disappear right before Candace drags their mom into the backyard to bust them. It's an awesome show.

Olympics Again

I know I posted about this less than a week ago, but hey, the Olympics are awesome. As my cousin said: Colorful donkeys that ride rainbows are dangerous. -Nathan
Wait, wrong quote. Oh, my dad said: When the Olympics come around, everyone's interested in sports. -Mark

Vacation and Other Stuff

I'll be going on vacation in Colorado and I won't be able to post for the next week. So I'll make up for it by giving you 7 posts, which should more than be enough. Sorry if they're not a very high quality (what, I've only got about an hour to write all these.) Oh and please keep getting on at least once a day so I can keep my streak of having at least one view a day. (Seriously, I've had at least one view everyday (well actually more like at least 5) since I started this blog.) Again, thanks for supporting!

P.S. Oh and this post counts as one of the seven.

Cousins here again.

Again my cousins are here. This time even though they've only been here a day we've already started a band (no name yet) and written our first song, Take Me To Banana World. Here's the chorus,
Take me down, to Banana World,
take me down, to Banana World,
take me down, to Banana World,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
 Here's the gist of it; a guy wants to go to Banana World, he asks a guy in a banana suit to take him, the guy takes him out in a boat, then pushes him out, then he gets eaten by a giant banana, then he's happy.
