The Wonders of March Break

Well, I'm sitting on the sofa, watching some cooking shows, when my dad comes downstairs. From the look on his face, I new that something was up. I was right. He looks at me, and asks me, "Do you want to go on a train to Toronto on Monday?" Of course I wanted to! To go on a train by myself to see my cousins would be like an adventure! There's only one problemo. Jerald, the older of my two cousins, is out of control. He's two years old, and all he does is say, "TV! Now!" And if he doesn't get it, he starts screaming like a lunatic. Oh ya. That was only the first thing that he does. He doesn't let anyone touch his toys. He throws fits. He offers you a toy and snatches it back. He beats his younger brother, who's only 3/4 of a year old, to a pulp. He hits him, kicks him, bites him, shoves him, scratches him, pinches him, stamps on him, and doesn't let him do anything or have anything. And so on and so forth. What did the baby do wrong? Nothing! You don't know what it's like to live there for two days. Two days, and you've had enough of that small creature who pitches hard objects at your face. Well, at least I got the joy of going on a train by myself for four and a half hours. So, that was the first half of my March Break. See you later! P.S. I'm sorry I haven't written on this thing for nearly a year now! Bye!

Today at school

The last three days, basketball tryouts have been happening. The coach posted the teams(boys and girls) on the sports board. When I looked at the board, my name wasn't on the paper. For a few hours, I was heartbroken. I tried so hard, yet it was for nothing(or so I thought). Then, at Gym, our coach pulled me over and said that I could go to practices and play if someone wasn't there(or take their place). So, that's not as good as being able to play all the the time, but at least I got to do something on the team rather then not being able to do anything, like the twenty people who didn't get to go on the team. So, my first practice is on Tuesday after school, and then on Wednesday. Thanks for listening to this post! See you later! Wait! You know how on my first post, I said that I brag a lot? Well, there you go. Another brag. Bye!!

The QUESTION

Hi, Everybody! I have a very important question for you to all answer. I would like you to send an opinion to me if you even have an answer. You know how billions of dollars every year are spent for exploring space? Well, if you had all that money, would you spend it for exploring space, or to help save the planet? I hope you know what "save the planet" means. It means spending all that money on helping homeless people, or creating a device that can help with pollution, or even giving lots of food to poor people? Did you know that in some countries, people are infected with leprosy, and ONE SINGLE PILL can save those people with leprosy, but their too poor to even have the pill? What if, with all that money, we could find a cure for cancer? See what I'm saying? Why spend all that money on exploring space if you could help our planet, and the people on it? Of course, there is the fact that if we didn't have astronauts go and explore space, we wouldn't have frozen or canned food, smoke detectors, scratch resistant glass or eye glasses, and all that other stuff that was made just for space exploring. We wouldn't have those things if space wasn't explored. Anyway, thanks for reading this very long question that all you peoples have to answer! Bye now!

School is Annoying

Sometimes school is really annoying. Most of the classes at Putman I like, but then, some of them are a little shaky. An example: math class. Math class is one of my least favorite classes. One of the reasons is, well, the teacher is really nice and all, but he doesn't teach very well. Another class that isn't one of my favorites is health. The teacher is good and everything, but it's just kind of a boring subject for me. Art isn't really one of my favorites either. The only thing that really gets my attention really well is sketching. I can't sketch very well, but I like doing it a lot. Drama class is kind of neutral with me. I like acting and all that fun stuff, but having to memorize things just isn't cool for me. I can memorize, I just don't like it. I like music, and I hate music. I hate having to deal with all those music sheets that I have to do, but I love playing the recorder. We can only play the recorder in sixth grade, not any other instruments, but next year we get to play whatever we want. I am so doing percussion. I just love drumming so much. I even have a mini drum set that I got for Christmas. Anyway, off the subject of music, and on to something else. For English, we have a really mean teacher, but the subjects' cool. It's fun what we get to do in English. Sometimes just get to sit at our desks comfortably and read. We also go to the library a lot. Gym is my number one favorite subject. You would probably guess that since I'm a boy in sixth grade. My second favorite subject is French. I'm in french immersion, so French is really fun for me. Anyway, that's pretty much all that happens at my school. Except the two recesses that we have. And the one hour of lunch that we have each and every day. Well, that's about it for this post! See you later!

My very first blog post

Hello, this is my very first blog post, so don't laugh at me. I'm thirteen years old, not twenty years old, so don't laugh at me because of that either. In fact, don't laugh at me at all. You can laugh at my posts all you want, but don't laugh at at ME PERSONALLY. As in the actual person. So, I kind of don't know what to say, since this is my first time doing this. But, I guess I'll just bring up any old subject. Let's start with my family. No, I'm not going to say the real names of my family, since that's kind of dangerous. Anyway, I have a really annoying sister, Sandy, who's fifteen; a mom, Barbara; a dad, Davy; a dog, Gryphon; a guinea pig, Mo; and another guinea pig, Furry. We're all one happy family. We did have another guinea pig named Cuddles, but she passed away some two years ago. Anyway, that's the end of my first superb blog post. I'll see you all soon!!!!!! ( You all being all of you followers who like me so much )
