Let me give you some advice 

Orange is not just nice 

In fact it’s quite exquisite 

Orange is completely requisite

So here’s my advice

Add some orange it gives a lot of spice

Popcorn, popcorn one of the best snacks

Before just a kernel and then POP it’s the best

It’s awesome with butter and it likes cheddar

Popcorns a good friend destroying your munchies

When at the theater don’t dare forget the best snack

Fermilab Trip

The field trip wasn’t as exciting as I thought in fact it was pretty boring. The best part was in the bus, Christian let me play Clash royale with Sebastian from his phone and as long as my battery lasted I played jet pack joyride. First we went to see some bison then we went inside the lab and did some work with answer sheets. After that we went to the side of the building to eat lunch and after that we went to the very edge of their prairie where we talked about it. Then we went halfway into a small forest where we got the circumference of some trees. Then we got into a bus and went back to school.

MAP testing

I am very lucky, I didn’t really study a lot for MAP, yet I made eight points of growth for math since winter, I’m at 238 my fall score was 224 just one more test for growth and I’ll be able to be in the incentive. I think I’ll do okay I think I’ve said this before but I don’t like MAP testing  it’s boring my mind constantly drifts off with nothing to get my attention.

57th post

I’m supposed to write what it feels like to write this many posts but I don’t feel anything really. I don’t know what I’m supposed to write so I’ll just do what I think others would do. Well, it was no easy task but knowing what I was supposed to write I think I did alright and I guess I went a long way to come here the 57th post on blogger! No, I didn’t mean any of that I had to write something though.

Greek day

Greek day wasn’t as good as I thought, there was good food though. There was bread and cheese and chips (not the kind you think). Anyway when we traded I got a shield but I wasted all my origami chickens. In the Olympics we lost my city was Thebes and I think we got second place. It was okay but not as good as I thought.

Favorite Song 🎸

I don’t have a favorite song. I know a lot of songs but I don’t have a favorite. I think that if  I really  had to choose one it would be Free Bird. The lyrics are good but my favorite part is the guitar solo which is mind blowing. I recommend you listen to it. Here is a link to the guitar solo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBpe2YQEzZo&list=RDnBpe2YQEzZo&start_radio=1

Poem

I chose another Shakesppeare poem just because he’s the only poet I like. Anyway analyzing this poem I see that... William thinks just what he wrote, for people that are waiting for something (they’ll probably never get) time is slow at least to them. To those  who are scared time passes quickly. For people that lament (grieve) time passes in slow motion. Those that party or celebrate time is too short. He also thinks that for those who love “time is eternal”. For some reason he wrote a lot of love poems like my favorite “Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?” That was a good one.

Favorite poem

All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players

They have their exits and their entrances

And one man in his time plays many parts

-William Shakespeare

Chicago History Project

My Chicago History project is about the Chicago World Fair. It was easy getting the information. I already have a document with almost all the information I need so I think I’m all set. I wasn’t really intrerested in it I just chose because it had a lot of sources.

4th quarter goals

Last quarter I didn’t finish StarTrek so I guess I should to finish that soon. Well I don’t really have any goals for this quarter. I think I’ll just wing it. No, that’s probably a bad idea. Maybe I should learn how to draw gundam better. Also I should finish The Star Wars campaign. I also think I will do the Roald Dahl imaginormous challenge. I like Ronald Dahl’s books Especially Matilda, I read Charlie and the chocolate factory three times when I was really bored and Danny the champion of the world was awesome. Another goal I have is to finish 6 books this quarter.

Spring Break ☀️

I had a good spring break. My brother got me Battlefront Ⅱ (Star Wars) with has an awesome campaign, I recommend it, I went to two parties and an assembly so it was pretty eventful at times, I also went to a conmemoracion to remember how Jesus gave his life as a perfect human on earth so that we could live forever, he only died in the flesh but it was a pretty big deal. After that I went to Olive Garden where unknowingly I drank a really tasty mango peach smoothie that actually had a little alcohol but I don’t believe it. There I played plants vs zombies on the little screen at the table with my little cousins (they hogged it). So, yes, my Spring Break was alright.

Inferno Squadron

Spring break plans

I don’t really have anything to do on on spring break. I want to play some StarTrek maybe draw some more and play street fighter with my brother but besides that I don’t really know. Maybe I’ll finish the season I’m on for TNG. I’m pretty sure my moms is  going to take me to another party and I’ll probably learn another song on the guitar. I really don’t have any plans.

Free post

This free post is about my brother’s new super Nintendo and how I payed a dollar for one of his controllers. The Nintendo has like twenty games in it like Mario, Metroid, Street fighter and Mega Man X all of which are awesome. My favorite character for street fighter is Chun Li because I like to do a flip and then kick them in the face, Chun Li kicks like crazy. I also like Mega man but I wish he could do more than jump and blast robots. But I play Metroid the most because I figured out how to do a moonwalk while shooting which is awesome.

Slice of Life #12

Yesterday I went to CiCi’s with my mom and a bunch of other people that went to my congregation. When we got there after about half an hour. It turned out CiCis wasn’t just a pizza place but it was like a pizza buffet. I my mom payed about five dollars plus some other money because I ordered boneless hot wings which costed extra. We sat down separately, kids on one table and the adults on the other. They put some device on our table and told us that when it buzzed the wings would be ready. I ate around 2 pizza slices when the thing buzzed. Turns out boneless wings have bones in them but I didn’t say anything because my mom payed enough already. The wings barely had any meat and I had to use a fork to eat them; four dollars for five bad hotwings is a bad deal I don’t recommend it. Anyway when we were done eating me and three friends went to a small room called fun&games in the back of the buffet. In there there were some games which were kind of lame. One game was a hockey table (basically the only good game there) another was some kind of machine that let you box, another game was called something like “House of Death 4” which was probably the worst one, the game was a T.V. with two guns in front of it, and it was looked liked the corniest game ever. The intro was a bunch of zombies attacking you and some guy saying there is no way to escape your fate, and stuff like that that game was very typical with blood everywhere. The rest of the games were things like “Catch The Prize!!!” which were also lame. A bunch of other stuff happened there but if I mentioned all of it I would be able to write a book.

Book review

I’m going to review the book hatchet. I liked reading the book but I wish he was there longer, or until winter because I want to know how he would survived then. The book is about a kid named Brian and he ends up in the woods trying to survive. My dad promised me that he would take me to the forest in his Jeep this summer but I honestly don’t believe him. Overall I recommend the book.

How to show support for MSD

I think the best way to show support for the school is to remember, and never forget. Those deaths were completely senseless, it had no reason. Just because some incompetent childish kid wanted to kill for NO reason. Taking a way a life forever is the gravest most moronic evil one can do, and he took away 17 individual lives. All you can really do is remember, you can’t bring people back from death.

                                                                               

Slice of Life #8

Right now I’m debating in my head wether I should continue making Slice of life posts or stop here. I  think I’m pretty bad at doing posts since I’m not good at writing and I don’t remember which prizes there are for doing slice of Life posts. On the other hand I might win something good if I continue but I don’t want to do all 31 days because then I would have to go to a museum of writing which I’m not at all interested in. Maybe I should do ten days, I think I remember there’s something good for doing ten. But I don’t know if I’ll last that long since I don’t have a lot of material. I had to do this for a post which is pretty sad, sooo... I think I’ll decide later.

Slice of Life #7

Yesterday me and my dad watched an episode of Star Trek and it was mostly about an Android called Data. While we were watching I was eating Cheetos. We watched it in the living room and he was drinking Coca-Cola. The episode was good he was reporting to another officer how his every day activities are and how he views humans. Data is like Pinocchio in the sense he wants to be a human to feel what humans feel. And he wishes this even though he can acesss trillions of books on information per second so if he wants to know something he goes to the computer and reads EVERYTHING on that subject fast. It was a good episode.

                                                                               

Chicago History

Chicago has changed a lot since the first permanent resident Jean Baptiste Point du Sable settled in. Now it’s all technology and apartments. But before, the first settlers were traders and farmers. There were a bunch of events such as the Great Chicago Fire and our nation’s first skyscraper. And in 1943 Chicago’s first subway opened.




                                                                        

                          

Slice of Life #6

On Sunday I went to Steak and Shake with my family. My mom, my dad, my grandpa, my grandma , my uncle, my aunt, my cousin, my other cousin, my other other cousin, another cousin and I, all went. It was a long ride and most of the time I was listening to music or playing Alto on my phone. When we finally got there I ordered the chicken tenders and mint Oreo milkshake because last time the bacon burger wasn’t really a good choice because later my guts twisted. Anyway I sat down next to one of my cousins and next to my mom. While we waited for the food on the back of some paper I drew an awesome Batman with Gotham as the background. When we ate it was good food I ate the fries first because the chicken burned my tongue.
 
 
                                                                           

Wise quotes

The fool that does nothing in his youth and expects hapiness in old age is a numb skull

-Me

I like this one because it’s one of the few quotes I actually understand. If you don’t understand what this means let me explain. So, let’s say there’s this one guy name Rickim and Rickim spends his days playing Call of Duty lll or Fortnite. Rickim does meh in school Meh with a capital M as in he is satisfied with a B+ or on some days a C for a grade. But the crazy thing is that he wants to be a doctor when he grows up because he heard you get well paid in that job. But Rickim can’t expect that because he didn’t put any work in so he’s not going to be happy. Therefore Rickim will probably be known as a McDonalds manager. He put in Meh so he gets Meh.

Slice of Life #2

Yesterday I played like three missions on the halo reach campaign with my brother and honestly it’s the only video game story I ever felt anything for. So let me sum up the story. You are Noble 6 and you have a record of being almost a legend and you were a lone wolf type of guy, you worked solo and now you’re with a team that is awesome there was an opening on the team because someone went MIA and you’re filling his spot. You’re against the covenant, a ruthless race with an unconditional hatred for all humans. They're going to “glass” the planet Reach ending all life on it. Once you play some missions you realize you can’t save Reach and while you were trying to save it a teammate called Jorge died putting a bomb in a covenant ship the size of Illinois. You were on that mission too but you can’t leave. Someone has to do the bomb manually and stay there. Jorge is a big guy so he picks you up (by the way you’re a spartan super soldier that is super strong a project by Dr. Halsey but that’s a big story, anyway you way like 200 pounds 200 pounds of muscle) George picks you up like a pencil looks at you and says in a raspy voice “make it count”. He puts his dog tag in your hands and throws you off the ship back on planet and you watch the ship blow up. You survived the fall from space because of your spartan armor by the way. And after the ship blows up dozens of other ships the size of a state exactly like the one you were on warped into space. Jorge died thinking that because he blew up the mothership carrying most of the covenant he saved reach, and that didn’t happen it was a pointless death and you look at the dog tags in your hands. So sad, the first time I ever felt sad because of a story created by bungie. You’re teammate died thinking he saved an innocent planet when that wasn’t the case. And he’s not the only one. EVERYONE eventually dies sacrificing himself to complete the mission except you and the sniper. And it’s all so sad but it’s an awesome story. Me and my brother stopped playing right when the second to the last mission ends; it ends by you watching the ship that carries masterchief leave. So when I get back on I’ll play the last mission. The last mission is you on Reach alone, the mission is called Lone wolf and the objective is
to survive.

             
                                                           

By the way Halo 1 begins as you, Masterchief on a ship.

Slice Of Life #1

Today when I woke up at 7:30 I felt miserable, I couldn’t breath out of my nose because it was clogged and when I got out of bed I almost collapsed because my legs were jelly. As I walked to the bathroom I passed my dog and bent down to pet him and when I did my knees hurt bad it felt like I was 80 years old. After that I put on my clothes and ID and went to check If my iPad charged overnight. I brought my computer bag and backpack and jacket to the living room. My mom was making my lunch and she told me to bring her my lunch bag. I brought it to her then put my iPad and charger where it belonged. After that I put on my jacket, grabbed my lunch bag, put on my stuff and walked out the door coughing. I really felt crummy.

   

                                                                                 

Slice of life

My dog Rollo is kind of sick right now, a couple of days ago we saw that there was some green stuff next to his eyes. We didn’t think it was serious we just dismissed it as some type of dog eye booger.

About two days later we saw that he had a streak of dried brown-red liquid next to his eye. We thought his eyes bled, at least we thought that. My dad cleaned his eyes and he looked for answeres. Later he told us his hypothesis is that something small got into his eyes and is rasping his eye a little. We looked for something that would ease the damage or better, at target with no luck. He ran into the fridge just walking which isn’t something good, we think his eyes are getting damaged or maybe the brown-red stain was something else and the “eye booger” was actually an eye booger and he just ran in to the fridge on accident and it looks like he doesn’t even notice it, it looks like he’s not in pain. But maybe something is happening; I feel bad for him.

Argumentative Essay

I chose the topic debating if video games are bad or not and I haven’t actually tooken a side because, it might be bad for you but I remember hearing it helps your brain grow and that it focuses your attention. So I don’t know which to choose. Personally I play video games but I do not notice becoming more violent or getting dumber. I think it’s because most of the games I play are non-violent like Minecraft or speedrunners or rocket league things like that.

BLACKFISH

SeaWorld is evil. In my opinion it isn’t the killer whales’ fault and it isn’t the trainers fault it is the fault of the-guy-behind-it-all. Tilikum for example spends all his time when not performing in a big cage where people can “witness his beauty”. That’s not true he deserves to be free.

Schoool uniforms

I don’t think schools should have uniforms you need to wear but I’m okay with dress codes
like not putting on a hoodie indoors. I already went through two pants this year, one I spilled some liquid on and it won’t come off and another I lost. If that happened to my jeans I would just put on another one but I have to keep looking for these specific pants. Our clothing choices are pretty limited.

Snow day

I didn’t enjoy last weeks “snow day” at all since I spent it on the couch or bed. So last Friday’s adventure was to finish three episodes of startrek, eat ,then nap. And when I woke up I went to the bathroom ate a snack read then napped. After that I watched more tv then played halo with my brother when I felt better I wrestled with my dog, then took a nap. That was it.

Goals for this quarter

I have a few goals for this quarter. Numero uno is math, I need to keep on doing at least 40 minutes per day if I’m going to get a doctorates degree in robotic engineering at M.I.T. Another goal is learning more about space. Also I want to read seven chapter books this quarter like the hobbit. And finish StarTrek the next generation.

SPACE

Opposing view of my view

I think that killer whales shouldn’t be kept at SeaWorld. The opposing view would be that they should be there performing. I can’t think of any reason for that other than I think they’re fed well. But someone else might find a reason to keep them at SeaWorld

Non-fiction vs fiction

Fiction all the way. For me fiction vs non-fiction is like the white sox vs the cubs, I have nothing against the cubs I just like the Sox better. I like fiction more because it grabs your imagination and expands it like blowing into a balloon. I like fictional stories like the hobbit, lord of the rings, Wednesday Wars, Heidi, The wizard of Oz, David copperfield, Matilda, the BFG and comics like Batman and robin, the flash and the amazing Spider-Man. But it’s not just for books Almost all movies or tv shows are fictional like Batman the animated series  Star Trek the next generation or the movies Star Wars. But non fiction has shows like NOVA and books like Mastery. So non-fiction is still good.

Winter break

I didn’t really do a lot over winter break but I did play video games and I went sledding. That’s all. What I WISH I had done was sledding, video games, And one more big thing something like Navy Pier, Disney world, Universal studio or maybe just traveling like to Ireland or  Greenland  something like that. (By the way I’ve never been to any of  the places I just mentioned).

New year resolutions

Over break I was chillaxing so I forgot to make some resolutions. But I plan to market some soon. I admit I have no idea what I’m going to do but one thing for sure is that I have to practice math I’m not bad at math I’m just a little over average which is not enough for me. If you remember about my basically prodigy older brother then you’ll know I have some catching up to do.
