The End :(

The school year is coming to an end, and today is my last blogging class. I will ask if I can keep my blog and I probably will keep it but just in case, I'd like to say goodbye. Wish me good luck this summer I'm going to be moving, but I don't know where. So if this is goodbye thanks for following my blog half the school year and goodbye and good luck!

The Lack of Creativity

When I was younger I used to be able to come up with something to draw and draw it just how I pictured it. I can still usually draw what I want how I want it but I have a hard time thinking of something to draw. When I finally do picture something to draw I usually think of it as an animated figure so its harder to draw it. I think that one big thing to blame for this is TV and movies. I will not have TV this summer so Ill see what happens with my creativity level.

NO TV!

The Q today is, what would happen if there was suddenly no TV, and do you think it would be good? First of all I think that kids and adults would go crazy. It would also be bad because we would no longer be able to just turn on the TV and see the news, but it would also be good because I think that people would make a way better use of their time. I think that even though you couldn't watch the news you could still look it up on the Internet. If there was no TV the world would be better altogether.

Iron Man 2

There is some debate about the new movie Iron Man 2. Obviously like every movie some people say its good and some say its bad. I think it wasn't as good as the first one when it comes to story but it was amazing as far as graphics and action goes. I think that Iron Man 2 was mainly just introducing the avengers. The avengers are Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor and they all fight together against evil. Iron Man 2 introduced Thor's hammer and Captain America's shield, and Iron Man was also asked to join the Avengers as was Hulk in the last Hulk movie. Overall my opinion on Iron Man 2 was that it was okay, but I think they could have done better. As far as the Avengers goes I think it could be really cheesy or really cool.

Photoshop Picture


This is a cool tutorial called cool lines. I like how this one turned out. Keep in mind this sign when the Russians nuke America!

Field Trip

If I could go on a field trip with my school I would go to Eliches in Denver. This would be so much fun, not only because you could ride the roller coasters, but it would also be fun because you wouldn't be supervised the whole time and you could buy lunch there. I would go on all the coasters and especially the mindsweeper. I wold also swim in the wave pool and "accidentally" get split up from the group. By the time we came back school would be over.

Important

The second Q for today is, which is most important to you - being popular, accomplishing things, or being organized, and why. I think that it is best to be able to accomplish things. If you can do this then you will be popular and can make yourself organized. Again this is my opinion and go ahead and choose for yourself.

Least important

The Q today is, out of these things what is least important to you. "These Things" are, money fame or power. The least important thing to me is fame because I most likely wouldn't even want it anyway. Also if you have power then you have all three, money, fame, and power. That is just my opinion, but I encourage you to go ahead and decide for yourself and come up with a well thought out and creative reason for your reasoning.

Jobs

My number one choice for a job is being a world dictator, but not as evil s Hitler, jk I wouldn't be evil at all. Unfortunately that's not a career choice. My three choices are, an architect, in the marines or air force, and lastly I would want to be an artist. There is no specific order of my liking of these jobs. I would be an architect because I am reasonable and creative. I would be in the military because I like to achieve stuff and I am strong. Lastly I would want to be an artist because I am good at it and it is fun. One career that would be cool but impassible to be is a professional assassin.

A trip around the world

If I could take three people around the world with me it would have to be two of my friends and my brother. I would choose these people because I think that these are the people I would have the most fun with, and they would also be the most entertaining. I would travel to every continent and famous cities and sights. I think that this would be the most fun and most exhilarating thing that anyone could possibly do. The best part would be that money is not an object.

Earth Day 2010

The question today is, what do you think abut people who pollute the environment? What should people do to save the planet.
Honestly I don't care about earth day or any of that stuff. Even so I do think that it is bad that people pollute the environment, just for health concerns. Basically I'm just trying to say that I don't believe in ideas like global warming. If you don't recycle, some of those materials you didn't can be harmful and can escape from the landfills. To answer the second question I would give my advice to recycle and try to buy a more fuel efficient car, but only if you are already buying a new car anyway. Finally I believe that global warming ideas are a giant money scam.

Color Picture

This Photoshop project is an easy one. It is great for changing the color of clothes and other objects. This time I tried something new and did this project on a car. It didn't work very well so I wouldn't recommend doing this project on a car.

Traveling in Time

If I could choose any time period to travel to it would be to the future. I would hope 2012 isn't true so the earth wouldn't be a giant ball of boiling lava. Assuming that wouldn't happen I would love the future. I would create space attractions that were scams and become a trillionaire. Then I would buy myself a planet and have a family and live in paradise. I would drees in a tux 24/7 and do whatever I wanted all day long. Then I would create the first diamond factory ever. After that I would create a way to over-mutate fruit, and make a vacation house out of watermelon shells. Lastly I would start a project for bringing frozen people back to life. Then I would die and freeze myself and hope my business would figure out to bring me back to life. Meanwhile my kids would be running all my businesses and be having a great life. Where would you go and what would you do?

BURRITO!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best burrito Ive ever had was at Qudoba. Qudoba burritos are great because they are so huge! Once you eat all you can you have only eaten half of it. The chicken is amazing and even though I usually don't like black beans in anything but I do like them in these. You can also stock up on the veggies as well. If you ever get a chance to go to Qudoba I highly recommend it.

Would You Rather

Would you rather get everywhere by crawling or have to stand on your hands when you are stationary? My answer to that question is, standing on your hands when you are stationary. I would choose this because if you have to crawl everywhere then you cant drive or use transportation. I would just hope you don't have to stand like that while you sleep. Go ahead and decide for yourself.

Worst Iinjuries

The worst injuries I've ever had are; when I got a concussion, when I fell on the concrete floor in my basement, when I got my toe nail ripped off, when I cut my lip open on an ice skate, and when I fell out a tree 18 feet. As you can see I have had plenty of injuries, and unfortunately there are lots more I didn't list. Although all this happened you don't have to worry because I don't really feel pain. If you have had painful accident go ahead and comment.

My Bucket List

I have always thought about my Bucket list, I will limit it down to ten things so here they are
  1. Become a Billionaire
  2. R$ule Australia or Africa
  3. Get a deserved pilot license
  4. Do every adrenalin rushing sport
  5. Get a gun license
  6. Go to every country in the world
  7. Get super ripped
  8. Ride a car 200 miles per hour
  9. Have my nation become a world power
  10. Die painlessly

Changing Myself

One thing I would like to change about myself is my lack to try for something when I can. I call this the performance trap it can also keep me from doing things I want to do and things that can improve areas of my life. I would want to get rid of this because then I will be less limited and feel more free and this can also make me more confident, because if I try something I want to do that I never did or thought I could do then did it could make me more confident about myself.

Alice in Wonderland

This weekend I went to see the new Alice in Wonderland movie. I think it was worth seeing, after all it was a classic recreated. I would recommend it, but it was nothing like the book. It made me think and left me with a weird inapplicable feelings about the movie. I also liked the acting Johnny Dept was great and so were the two fat boys. Altogether I would recommend this movie.

Things You can do to Save Money

These economic times are tough and many people are looking for ways to save money. You can save money by unplugging any chargers after you are done. A second way to save money is to turn off lights you aren't using and to keep your television and video games off as much as you can. Third, you can try to finding shortcuts around town or plan trips where you are going so you use less gas. Lastly you can try to buy all your groceries on sale.

My Favorite Kids Book

My favorite kids book from when I was little is most likely the Gran Nits book. Its a book from Britain. It was a TV show from BBC as well. Gran Nits is a great book for children and is a interesting read and the pictures are great. Even though I had lots of good children's book to read this book was the most appealing to me.

My Father

I admire both of my parents for different reasons. Today I will talk about my dad. My dad has taught me how to do many things. He grew up in England and came to America for school where he married my mom. I admire him for showing me how to have manners, judge correctly, and act in situations. I also admire the courage my dad had when he came to America against his parent's will. These are the reasons I admire my father.

Andy Warhol



This is one of my favorite projects to do in Photoshop. This is the Andy Warhol project and its where you just apply different filters to a picture and then you put them together. This project is really easy and I think you should go ahead and try it.

Laws and Guns

I think that it would be a good thing if we had stricter laws on guns. I think that it is still too easy to buy a gun even though the Brady Bill was passed. I think that if you are a member of the military and don't have a bad background you should be able to buy a gun, but otherwise you should have tests and papers to fill out. I think that organized crime and gangs would decrease if there were not as many guns handed out with the modern day supervision. That is my opinion and I know that others have different opinions so please comment.

Criminal


WANTED: Billionaire bird.

This is a sign hanging on the door of every sheriff office in the United States. This parrot stole from banks all over America. Unfortunately his identity can't be shown but hopefully you will be able to identify him, and hopefully we will get a non pixilated picture soon. He is on his way to Africa. You are officially allowed to shoot him out of the air.
Just kidding this is a cool picture I made in Photoshop.

The Weekend

This weekend I hung out with friends, played video games, and did lots of homework. Overall the weekend was amusing but even though it was a three day weekend it seemed to go by so fast. Although it was arid some of the time I still wish I didn't have to go to school.

Everybody knows this past weekend was Valentines day. I personally think that Valentines day is an ace holiday altogether, even though it is great sometimes I think it is a decay of time and money.

PS3 Xbox 360 and Wii

I am going to compare the PlayStation 3, the X box 360, and the Wii, three of the most popular game systems in the world.











First I will start with the PS3. It is the most expensive game system in the world at $300 for a game system and a controller. Each game if it is popular or new is about $40 and each controller is $60. Although the PS3 is the most expensive game system but it also has the best graphics and it comes with free wi-fi. The PS3 also has access to the PlayStation store which has any game you want if you buy it and tons of awesome free downloads.




Pros:


  • Best Graphics!




  • Free Wi-Fi!




  • Free access to the PlayStation store!



Cons:

  • Game and accessories and very expensive!








The X box 360 is $200 and each controller is $60. Each game is usually $40 and wi-fi is about $150. Overall the X box is about a medium game system. The graphics are okay and it has most of the games out there available for it.

Pros:

  • Cheaper System!

Cons:



  • Not as amazing of graphics!



  • Expensive Wi-Fi



  • Expensive accessories






The Wii is an older game system but it still maneges to compete with the leaders. The system is $200, the controllers are $40 and the majority of games are $20. The graphics stink if the game is not specifically made foe the Wii.





Pros:


  • Cheap!


Cons:

  • Bad graphics!

In conclusion I would choose the PS3 for a game system. It manages to soar above all the others and has entered into a whole new era for graphics. Now you know the best game system you can buy.

Superhero Power?

If I could have any superpower it would be the ability to control water. The reason for this is because water is the most abundant substance on earth, water makes up three fourths of the world. Clouds are also mostly water, and at almost any given time there is a cloud in sight. I could also use both of these to fight ''bad guys'' by drowning them. Another crime fighting thing I could do is, hurl some water into space and let it instantly freeze then bring it back down to earth and smash the ''bad guys''. Now you know my favorite super power.

Childhood Chlaustrophobia.



I really used to hate it when my brother would make me claustrophobic. I would go into what I call HULK. I would go completely insane and get all strong all of the sudden and attack the person that was making me claustrophobic. I can tell you that my HULK mode got me in trouble a number of times. I also had anger issues so that may have contributed into it. Although it got me in trouble it did keep people from messing with me all thanks to...


HULK MODE

Cool Black, White and Color


People say my life is gray and dull... But my animals sure aren't. I'm sure there is plenty of us that can agree with that! When life is dull thank photoshop!

Green?

Is go green a good thing? Don't stop reading this post when you hear my answer because I have a good point. I believe the whole thing is a bunch of useless Bologna or in other words a huge money scam. Its just like the whole global warming idea, a huge way to make money. Although it is annoying I think that go green has made some new very fuel efficient cars, as well as more efficient ways to do different things. So in a way go green is a good thing and in a way it is not. You can think what you like on this topic but personally I don't care. Please post your comments.

My Favorite Teacher Ever!

My favorite teacher ever was my fifth grade teacher, Mr. S. He was the best because he would read us really cool books all the time, let us watch movies whenever he could, let us draw, and do creative class projects. These are also some of the reasons that made learning fun in fifth grade. My favorite book we read in his class was The Hobbit. We made a big map for it and hung up pictures we drew of scenes from the book. He also made holidays and events fun by throwing parties and planning field trips. The most amazing thing was that it was his first year of teaching!

Welcome & About Me

Welcome to my blog. WARNING: within minutes you may find you are on the coolest blog ever! I will be talking about subjects the world and I think are interesting and important.

My favorite sports are football, tennis, and swimming. I also have several hobbies that I like to do. These consist of, going on a walk, riding my bike, playing video games, watching movies, and eating.
