Hello everybody. I am back. The last time you heard from me was August 22 where I spoke about Chase and Jared taking La Vista. Well, they didn't succeed, and La Vista was brought back. Nice try, guys.
I got a lot of beef on Thanksgiving when I had taken a much needed break from Yabo. But I decided to bring it back, just in time for the holidays. This is my Christmas present to all of you. (:
Despite what I assume will be popular belief, the above ^^^^^ title is not about me. It's about a show on The Learning Channel called I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. It's about women who have babies without knowing that they are pregnant. Surprise!!!!!!!!!!
I watched one episode, and that was it. The girl did not understand that no matter how much she dieted, she remained fat. Hmmmm. The girl did not understand that when you constantly feel sick, you should probably go to a doctor. Hmmmm. She's like, "I feel horrible, I'm so dizzy, but I'm gonna go party with my reject friends." She leaves the party early, has a seizure. When she goes to the hospital and launches the baby out, she still does not understand that she had a baby. Even when she held the baby. America, GET AHOLD OF YOURSELVES!
How do you not know your pregnant?!
Animals know they're pregnant.
I am kind of praying this happens to someone I know so I can brag that I know someone who has a lower IQ than an ostrich.
Color Me Gone (and back!),

Jared and Chase Take La Vista
Joel McHale is a funny person. His show "The Soup" is way too good to be on the E! Network. I watch it every week. This week he made fun of a show called, "Courtney and Chloe Take Miami". It comes off as a pretty stupid show, but it gave me a blog post title ^^
Jared and Chase had a pretty eventful summer. Every week they would go together in Chase's ride to go mow Grandpa's lawn. Driving around town, breaking the rules, being cool kids, taking La Vista. Than, the two teens would go somewhere to eat afterwards. It was not until late in the summer where Jared actually had the decency to offer me and Paige something to eat. Of course, we had to give him money. That wasnt great.
Last week, I tagged along (invited myself) to there end-of-the-summer lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. I kicked their butts in online poker. I'm not even kidding. I took one of the largest pots with a full house and of course, Chase had to accuse me of cheating.
Well, school has started!
In other news, I'm going to Platte River State Park this weekend with my family. That means you. This past weekend I went to a fantastic wedding. It was my cousin who got hitched, and it was a nice ceremony and a superb after party.
Your welcome.

Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry Sorry
It's been many a day...
I'm sorry for my lack of blog postage. I've been incredibly busy going on vacation and prepping for school, etcetera etcetera.
A few weeks ago me and my uncles and cousins went up to Uncle yes Uncle Koz's Lodge for a weekend full of fun activities. We jet skied and four wheeled and played poker. Can't read my poke-er-face. I walked away from the lodge with 18 extra dollars thanks to me and DA's strategizing. What's our secret? Make it to the final two, then split the pot. Easy money.
When I got back it was time to start packing. We were leaving for Chicago the following day. We got to the John Hancock Center first. It has the world's fastest elevator, traveling at 90 miles per hour. Wicked. From the top you can see the lake and downtown. You are greeted with a device that you can plug head phones into and listen as David Schwimmer gives you a tour of Chicago from above. Of course I was the only one in my family to get the device, so afterwards, when my family had questions about a certain building I had to explain it to them. They would then ask me, "How did you know that?!!?!??!" and I gave them same answer each and every time. (Idgits.)
Tuesday we went to the Field Museum and saw Sue, the amazing T. Rex. She seem pretty legit. The museum had a ton of interesting things, including an Egyptian exhibit with real mummies. woo.
Wednesday was the Cub's game. They won, believe it or not! I hate the Cubs, but baseball games are always fun.
Thursday we went to the Willis (formerly Sears) Tower. It was pretty legit. Well kind of. It took 2 hours to finally get to the top. We had to wait in line and it sucked. The SkyDeck was worth it though.
On Friday I left Chicago with the decision that I want to live there when I grow up. True story.
If your reading, thanks for sticking around.

The Blair Witch Project-Movie Review
Warning: If you have not seen the movie, and want to see the movie, don't even bother reading this. I am giving a full synopsis, along with my actual review.
The film stars Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael C. Williams. It was co-directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez.
The film starts by stating that three young students went missing in Burkittsville, Marlyand in the forest. Viewers are told that the following footage was discovered, and the recovered footage is presented to us.
Heather, Josh, and Mike and are all film students in the year 1994. Together, they travel to Burkittsville (formerly Blair), Maryland. They start their documentary by shooting at an old cemetery. The cemetery has several graves of infants and young children. When the trio goes to interview locals, they are told that a man named Rustin Parr kidnapped seven children. He took them to his house in the woods and brought them to his basement in pairs. He made one child face the corner, while he killed the other. Than, the other was murdered as well. The man turned himself in, and plead insanity, saying that the Blair Witch coerced him to kill the children. The students also interview Mary Brown. The town views her as crazy, but her description of her encounter with the witch is chilling. When one lady is asked if she believed that the Blair witch exists, she replied by saying that she believes enough not to go up to the woods and test the theory. The next day they travel to north to woods for exploring, but not before being warned by two fishermen of the haunted woods. The young adults go to Coffin Rock, where five men were killed in a ritual during the 19th century. They camp in their tent and have no trouble. They continue to explore Black Hills the next day, still searching for evidence of the witch. Heather has trouble with the map, but the kids come across 7 piles of rocks, or cairns. They set up camp and return at night. Josh knocks over one of the piles, and Heather freaks out, quickly repairing it. It is somewhat implied that they have disturbed something or someone. While back in their tent, they hear crackling in the darkness. They cannot find where it is coming from. The noises end, and they assume it was just animals or locals trying to scare them.
The next day they search for the car, and while Mike and Josh are convinced that Heather is lost, she continuously defends herself, saying she knows where she is going. Night comes, and they are forced to camp again. They hear crackling once again, and the following morning, the discover 3 similar cairns surrounding their tents. While Heather can't find the map, Mike confesses to kicking it into the river. Heather and Josh attack Mike, and apologize later. They soon discover sticks and branches woven into human figures. Heather cuts one down. That night in the tent, the group hears a large array of noises, including children laughing and a baby crying. Their tent is attacked, and the three book it out of there and run into a nearby field, where they stay until morning. They go back to find their belongs strewn all over the ground and Josh's belongings have a slimy blue substance on them. The group travels south all day, but come across a familiar log. Has the group walked in a circle? Or is someone playing a trick on them? They set up camp and become very emotional that they wasted an entire day and that they once again have to spend the night in the forest.
The following morning, Josh is gone. They scream for him, but no response is heard. They reluctantly leave camp. At night, they hear Josh yelling and screaming. They cannot locate the painful calls for help. At dawn, they wake up and Heather finds a bundle of sticks and twigs, wrapped in strips of Josh's plaid shirt. Inside the "package" are unidentified, bloody parts of Josh's body. Heather hides this fact from Mike.
On the final night, Heather points the camera toward herself, and apologizes to her family and friends, along with Josh's and Mike's relatives. She begins to cry, expresses her fear, and utters, "We are going to die out here tonight..."
Once again that night, Josh's screams are heard. Mike and Heather follow the screams to an abandoned house. Mike goes upstairs and finds handprints in the attic, printed in blood. He hears Josh's voice in the basement, and runs down to him. Mike continues to call his name and when he finally reaches the basement, he struggles with the camera. Mike then falls to the ground, along with the camera, and all is heard is Heather's screams for Josh and Mike. Heather goes down to the basement, and the camera sees Mike turned to corner, much like the children that died there before. Heather seems confused, when a bump is heard. The camera hits the ground and silently goes off.
The film stars Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard, and Michael C. Williams. It was co-directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez.

Review
This movie scared the snot out of me, and I absolutely loved it. It started out as a normal movie, but it was obvious that things would get worse and worse. The legend of the Blair Witch had me convinced that it was real, as I googled it to find out that it wasn't real. Much like Paranormal Activity, the camera is held by the cast, and the footage seems completely real. I must commend the actors as well. Many horror film actors are over-looked by the movie's usual crappy plot. Characters that provide comic relief are often praised. It's safe to say that this movie had a great plot, the actors did great and were convincing, and there WAS no comic relief. Yet it was still great. And, best of all, it was a genuinely scary movie.
Grade: A-
One thing I would've liked is for more scary scenes like when the children and baby were heard late in the night. Those were the scenes that stuck out to me the most in a very scary way.

My New Found Love for Tonya Harding
Yes, THE Tonya Harding.
I was surfing web when I came across a familiar name: Tonya Harding. I'd heard the name before, and was somewhat familiar about what went down, but I decided that in order for me to know the truth, I had to go to the most trusted source I know: WikiPedia.
Allow me to refresh your memory about what happened:
During the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, my angel Tonya Harding had some tough competition. Competition by the name of, dun dun dun, Nancy Kerrigan. Tonya's ex-husband Jeff Gillooly (impressive last name) and her bodyguard paid a man to bash Nancy's knee. The hit was a success, just kidding. It wasn't a success because Nancy took that bruised knee straight to the Olympics. The guy who got paid, the ex-husband, the bodyguard, and the guy who drove the get-away vehicle (classic) all went to jail. But Tonya avoided the slammer by pleading guilty to conspiring to hinder prosecution of the attackers, whatever that means. The best part? Tonya was banned from the USFSA! Way to go, T-Hard! Not only is she a trouble-maker, but she's also completely insane, two of my favorite things! However, here's what I read that really won me over: In late 1996, Tonya used mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to help revive an 81 year old woman who collapsed while playing video poker in Portland, Oregon.
Tonya Harding is my hero.

How I Got Into A Fight With Donna (aka Susan W.) and Nate
This is gonna be a good one.
As most of you know, I am on top of it when it comes to social networking. I do it all. When I log into my AOL Instant Messaging account, the AOL website pops up. AOL always has the latest news, such as Lance Armstrong marking his final year with the Tour de France, and BP losing all that oil. So when it popped up today, I was shocked to read one article header: Kate Gosselin To Release Holiday Album.
I was so shocked by this. Really? I was practically dumb-founded. I clicked on the article. After reading it, I came to a conclusion: This is not true. The article stated that a music executive had talked to Kate about it. Balogna! I decided to write a comment. I scrolled down, and those gullible people called Americans are like, "Oh! She's terrible! Go away, Kate!" I was left thinking that this probably wasn't true, so I decided to write on my comment: This isn't a valid source, leave the woman alone.
I didn't expect the backlash. Donna said that I was just as pathetic as Kate since I was a fan of hers. Then Donna preceded to call me an idiot.

- I never said I was a Kate fan, I just defended her.
- You can call me an idiot when you learn grammar.
- Your messing with the wrong person.
Lord, I had it all planned out! I would be sarcastic and ask if I hurt her feelings. Then I would prove a point. Then I would call her judgmental and question her integrity. Then, the comment didn't go through. I tried again. And again. And again. "Donna" wasn't gonna let me reply! She made her settings that way! So I decided to blog about it. I clicked on "Donna's" profile. Her real name is Susan W, and she is poisonous. She yells at people, she's judgmental, she called Oprah fat. I'm convinced she's single....
I was trying to forget about Susonna, when Nate commented. His comment was one word:
"die"
I've never felt so threatened in my life. All because I stood up for what I believed was a fabricated lie? Well, at least the thousands of people who read this blog will know the real story.
By the way, those thousands of people need to vote on the polls. Thanks.

It Seems as Though Rosenblatt Was Built Just Yesterday.../"Udate that blog more often. I know you don't do anything, but still..."
I was torn between two titles for this post, so I chose both.
The end of an era is near. As you all know, Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, home to the Omaha Royals, and also home to the Men's College World Series for over 60 years. In the next days, Rosenblatt will host its final games. Then, the stadium will be torn down to make way for new additions to the Henry Doorly Zoo. I hope the upcoming exhibits include water buffalo and Russian hamsters.
It's sad to see Rosenblatt go. I've gone to the College World Series almost every year I've been alive, and Rosenblatt has always been THE stadium. The worst part? The new stadium will be called TD Ameritrade Park. Are you freaking kidding me? That is the worst possible name to give the new stadium, especially compared to the fantastic name "Rosenblatt". I'm severely disappointed. I salute you, Rosenblatt, thanks for the memories.
If you haven't seen Toy Story 3, then you suck. Go see it.
I have two polls this week, look up on them.
