US of Bacon

The United States of Bacon is an awesome TV show that every bacon fanatic needs to watch. The host, Todd Fisher, travels around the country seeking out awesome bacon dishes, and makes some of his own. They show all of the country's best baconness. Some of the ones I've seen include bacon on a stick, with only one slice of bacon that weighs 5 ounces. So they have nearly a third of a pound of bacon on a stick! And on a different episode, they also made a bacon cheeseburger that they put on glazed donuts. It looks and probably tastes awesome!

Minecraft Pickaxes

Did you know that Minecraft foam pickaxes (http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/e847/) make great Frisbees? Both my sister and I have ones that we got for Christmas, and yesterday we went across the street to the elementary school and were throwing them around. The first one I threw went probably about fifty feet. If you throw it right it'll fly, go up, then just float there for a bit. Earlier that day, I was just spinning it around and the handle hit me in the face. It hurt. So if you try it, make sure there's no one around for about two miles. :P

The Power of Minecraft

You know one reason why Minecraft is awesome? If you get on a good server, you can interact with people from all over the world. I've played with people from five continents. Maybe six, because I don't always ask. Just earlier today I was chatting with a 13 year old from Korea, who was visiting Chile for summer vacation. And while I was home for a snow day, he was in 28 degrees Celsius weather, which is around 80 degrees Fahrenheit! And we were chatting about this while building a mall. How much cooler can you get?

200 POSTS!!!

As of time of this writing, this blog has just reached 200 blog posts! Yays. We're more than halfway to a full year of posting! And recently I've been getting a lot of views. Up to fifty a day! That's awesome. And it's all thanks to you, my loyal viewers! Well, for all I know it's just a bunch of different people and no one ever stays on it. But that's just me.

Update Stuff

Okay guys, from now on I'm not going to post on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. Well, actually Friday is iffy. Let's just say don't expect me to post on the weekends, though I'll still try. Oh, and I've also been posting multiple posts on one day and none on the next, and that's because I've been trying to make up for the other days. I'll try to keep it more even from now on though.

Skyrim

Yesterday I started playing Skyrim for a bit. It was fun. I got flames and started foomphing all the flowers. I kept on yelling "Kill the happiness!" It was fun. I just kept running around shooting flames at everything. It's fun.

Zombie Pigman

Zombie pigman are annoying. Today I've died about 25 times from them. On two different games. The problem is whenever you hit one they all come and mob you. I've had twenty all chasing me before. I die a lot. But it's good when you can get a creeper to blow them all up so you don't keep dying from the same ones over and over. Excuse me, I must kill them now.

Minecraft Interior Design

You know, I've been building a lot of houses in Minecraft. I also decorate a lot inside. But does it count as interior design when it's on Minecraft? I think part of it does, because you have to decorate with what you have, which is way less then in real life. But it's fun, so I don't care either way.

A Guest Post by My Dad

Why people should be more like dogs:

1. Dogs don't criticize their friends and family.

2. Dogs live in the moment. They carry very little anger, and forgive easily.

3. Dogs are always motivated by fun. Fun is their top priority!

4. Dogs are always energetically 100% present for the people who they love.

5. Dogs love to run...barefoot!

6. Dogs just want to BE with you. 


7. Dogs are joyfully exuberant about life. They live it 100%, without trying to escape it.

Hot Topic Episode 1!

Commercials

On TV, some commercials are funny, butt on the DIY network a lot of the commercials are like; Are you blah blah blah blah blah? Is your blah blah blah blah blah blah? Do you need blah blah blah blah blah? And then they always say Introducing blah blah blah! It's so annoying! Or like on Cartoon Network. Child advertising is so pathetic! They appeal to little kids so they throw a fit because they want it so their parents buy it to get them to shut up.

Coke

You know, on New Year's I really started liking Coke. It's probably because my cousin and I were trying to learn how to hack and also they had both little bottles of Coke and cans so I kept drinking it to keep me awake. I didn't really like it but I just kept drinking it. I guess it's an acquired taste.

A Minecraft Movie

This movie is one of the best movies I've ever seen!

DIY Channel

Today I started watching the DIY HD channel and I really like it. I've been watching Rehab Addict for the past three hours. And before that I watched Disaster DIY for two hours. It's a really good channel. I really like the ones where you don't have to have watched the ones before it so each episode is individual and you can just jump in. And for these shows you can jump right in into the middle of the episode, because it recaps after every commercial. But that's annoying on Netflix...

Happy New Years!

You know, I haven't posted almost at all in the month of December. So my New Year's resolution is to stay caught up on blogging. So to do that, today I'm going to post like twenty posts. Did you know this blog is over six months old? And in exactly a week it will be seven months old! I think to get to my goal I'm going to just repost a lot of stuff other people posted. Like a lot of videos.

Star Trek Transporters

You know, in Star Trek they use transporters a lot. It supposedly makes an exact copy of your body and your mind, keeping all the memories and stuff. But all that is stored in physical forms, so if you just make an exact copy and destroy the first one, you'd essentially be killing the person and just making an exact copy. But people could keep on transporting and think that it worked, so they'd be killing thousands of people every day. It's something to think about I guess.

Santa Tracker!

www.google.com/santatracker/ is just what the name says. It's a thing from Google where you can track Santa as he goes around the globe! You can see where he's at, how many presents he's delivered, and you can track him in 3D!

Early Christmas

Sorry about the quality of this one. I was typing this to my dad because I had a sore throat and couldn't talk, so it wasn't as much blogger-tailored.

This year I got like the most amount of presents I ever have. And most were electronics! I think in my stocking I had one of those lights that stick on to stuff that are circles and when you push on the light it clicks. Under the tree I got one of those Snap Kit things but it was a remote control car. You know, those electronic kits that have the motor and the red disc that shoots up. But it was a remote control car. Wait I can get an image. So it’s got a foam disc shooter and also you can record your voice and have it so you drive up and shoot discs or play the recording. And the remote has little triggers that you use to shoot the discs and play the recording. Lydia got one of those regular kind that shoot the spinning disc. I think it just has a piece that’s the thing that receives the signal and it can output up to 2 devices so I could put the disc on and go up to Gati and shoot the disc. Then I also got a something… Oh yeah then together we got a karaoke machine with a one wired mic and one wired/wireless mic. It came with some discs too. Then we got a clue on the Christmas tree that took us to the basement, then the garage, then a closet, then the attic, where the flatscreen TV was. Mom said it took forever to wrap. I think it was 42”. So as we were carrying it downstairs I was remarking on how I wished we had gotten a Wii, and then Andy said there was one more present in the cubby underneath the bench on the landing next to the attic door. So me and Lydia got it and brought it downstairs and in it was a Wii! It was black and had two games on one disk. It had both the regular Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort. But Wii Sports Resort was all set on the island of Wahu or something, which is that one island with a volcano that I biked on. But this was for a completely different game. But they had airplanes for one of the games, and I was feeling kind of nostalgic, because I was flying over everything that I had biked through or used a dirt bike through a few years ago. Like, I was flying down the road where I had made Lydia trip dozens of times. And I flew through the tunnel I always biked down. Well, after I played Wii for awhile we left for Barb and Daves, and we went outside with Chloe and Sloane to build stuff. First we made a snowman, and then we went to our fort under the bridge in the golf course. I ended up making a pretty good fort, with a hole into the side of a dry creek bed that I could sit up in comfortably. But then we had to go in and eat. Later we got to open presents, and first me and Lydia got a video camera that was like an iPod Touch, except that where the square would be it was the record button. I didn’t really play around with it that much. Then I got a Kindle. I hope I can take it to school, because then I wouldn’t  always run out of books. And so far that’s what I’ve gotten for Christmas.

Movies

Movies rock. They're like moving pictures! Blob.
