Swim Meet Day 2

So, second day of the swim meet. It started off good, when I won a competition and got a Coke. There were no relays today, but I still had to wait a while before I had my first race, the 100 free. I did well, winning my heat and shaving off a lot of time from my previous time. The other ones went well too, I won one more of my heats.  I shaved off a lot of time on all of them. I almost got B times on them too. It's frustrating, being so close and not getting it. I think I'm going to get them at the next meet in three weeks.

Swim Meet Day 1

OK, so today I went to my third swim meet since I started swimming for my team. I was in a relay, but we came in last. I was the anchor. Other than that, I was in three individual events. I did a 50 breast stroke, where I almost got B time, a 50 back, and a 50 free. It was a very easy meet for me, I usually have to do harder events. The meet lasts for two days, so I'm going back tomorrow. I have to do a 100 free, 50 fly, 100 back and a 100 IM. I think those will be harder.

Silver Dollar City

Maybe you guys are wondering what I did last weekend? Well, I went to a theme park in Missouri, and as you probably guessed, it was called Silver Dollar City. It's really big, but it doesn't have many rides. The ones it does have, however, are awesome. I went on a roller coaster where you go upside down for the first time, and loved it. It was called the Wildfire. It has a fairly big drop and a lot of loops. There where two other big roller coasters. My sister chickened out on all of them except one. But that one had no big drops or loops, but was still pretty fun. That was called the Thunderation. The last one, and the most scary, is called the Powder Keg. Its really fast, but only has one loop, but a lot of big drops. There were other ones, but they were really slow, and more like exhibits than roller coasters.

Jazz Band

Most middle schools have a concert band. I'm in the concert band, I play trombone. But now, my band teacher, Mr. L started a Jazz band. By the way, Mr. L is the best band instructor ever! Okay, so I'm in the Jazz band! You didn't really have to audition, but he did cut out a couple people who weren't trying. Its a huge Jazz band. We have five alto saxophones, two tenor, one barri , eight trombones, six trumpets, one acoustic guitar, one electric, two bass, two piano players, one drum set player and two auxiliary players. So, you see it is a big band. We had our first rehearsal yesterday. Sixth graders where in the doorway between the band room and the band locker rooms with their mouths open. You know how satisfying that is?

Bully fish

Okay, Delta died. I have no idea why, but he did. So we got a new fish named Syan. He's a big purple guppy. And he's a bully. Within one day, my first fish, Delray was hiding under the fake rock thing with about half his tail missing. It was probably Syan, but it could have been the filter. Syan's getting all the food because Delray's too scared to come out. I'll give it a few more days, but Syan may have to go. We're gonna take him back to the pet store and get a new, non-aggressive fish.

Delray & Delta

OK, so your probably wondering what what the title means, so I'll tell you. Those are the names of my two new fish. My dad thought up Delray and my sister named the other one. We got Delray on Thursday, and we got Delta today. I have a five gallon tank, so we can only have three guppies, like Delray and Delta. Delray was pretty lonely the first couple days, so they instantly where friend, now they follow each other around. Delray wasn't eating for a couple days. My sister told me i needed to crumple up the flakes more, I did and he ate them. Delray is yellow and green with a big red tail. Delta is purple, yellow and red with a not as big red and yellow tail.

Racoon Fight

Last night, I was in the garage apartment playing video games with my friend Quinn when I heard barking, hissing squealing and my mom shouting "TEEGRA!" Teegra is our dog. He is a big boxer mix. He also has one eye. So, Quinn and I ran down the stairs to the front porch of my house, where we can barely see Teegra battling a raccoon. He was going at it so hard, he didn't come when my mom and I called. He usually does. There was a point in the fight when it sounded like Teegra was dying. He was squealing and moaning. But then he started barking again, so the fight wasn't over. I go over to the side of the porch just in time to see Teegra chasing the raccoon through the bushes. It got away and we don't know if it was rabid or not, but luckily Teegra has had his rabies shot. When we finally got him up on the porch, his muzzle was all bloody and it looked like he had almost had his one good eye slashed out (but luckily after mom cleaned his wounds, we found out it was just blood from another bite). He was OK, and seemed to be very pleased with himself. 

Dodgeball War

Okay, so there is this kid in my school named Thomas. He thinks he's so cool and is mean to everyone else. Also he hates getting beat. So we where playing Dodge Ball and Thomas decides I'm his primary target. So, every ball he gets he throws at me. He got some other people doing it too. Most of the time I dodged it, but he hit me once in a while. We play so you can get back in if you catch a ball and hit someone else. So, I got more people to help me, and in the end it was two teams trying to kill two people. It was fun. Finally Thomas got hit so many times (mostly by me) he said "What the f***" and started crying. He tried to get revenge on me by throwing the basketball as hard as he could at me during recess, making it look like he was passing to me. He missed a lot. He got mad again, so I need to watch my back, because he's going to get me I'm sure. It'll probably not work. OK, gotta go, bye

Awesome Daydream

I was in team time today when I had a really cool daydream. You know those action movies, like Transformers and Iron Man? Well, I was the main character in Transformers, you know, Sam. Except I was a super strong super-hero with all sorts of weapons, like flame throwers, sniper rifles, machine guns, grenades, rocket launcher, etc... Anyway, Earth was about to be destroyed by Megatron and the Fallen, so I go up and light them on fire and throw grenades in their sparks and shoot them in the eye with machine guns. And when I came back down, Optimas Prime told me that was stupid and I should go back to school, and thats when it ended. I had to go to lunch. I know, it's totally a boy daydream, but it was really cool.

Girls Night Out

I was at some dinner last night with some people we hadn't seen in years. It was 3 girls who are all home schooled. It was so boring!!!!!! The girls seemed to be having fun, talking about cooking and painting their room, but us boys where just sitting on the couch staring into space. Bottom line, don't go to a dinner where all the kids aren't your gender, it's boring!

Why do I get angry easily? Take today for example

I was so pissed off at my parents today, mostly my dad. I mean, it wasn't bad that they made me work outside for an hour before I could play video games. But it was bad when my dad made me get off  in the middle of my computer time, made me write a stupid essay, and wouldn't get off for a while after I finished. WTH?!!? That's just pointless. Anyway, I should go now so I don't break the keyboard. Bye!

Boring day turned fun

Okay, so I was super bored today . Lucky my friend Nick called.. Nick has this new dog named Pepper, a black lab. He likes to jump on you and lick you constantly. We biked into town and to get some Ice Cream and potato chips. People, If you like potato chips, go for Route 11, not Kettle Corn. Kettle Corn sucks. So, while we were riding, we saw my friend Dillion on his street skateboarding. Dillion doesn't need to have lessons on that. I'm not that good, but he's just awesome, He can do all these tricks and stuff. I need to ask him how he does it, because like I said before, I stink. So, we go into town, get our stuff, come back, and started trying to make Americas Funniest Home Videos. They where all pretty bad, except for the one when Pepper jumped on Nick while he was eating potato chips. Guess Pepper wanted some too. When I was leaving I found out that Nick's dad was sick. I hope I don't get it. We have some people staying in the small apartment above the garage, and my Grandma's dog is staying with us for a month. She's a small white yippy dog who barks when she doesn't get food of the table. Ok, dinner time, gotta go.
