A Comparison to Remember

This is Zach with two less teeth. It kind of hurt when he was SHOVING those needles up my mouth and reassuring me i was doing great. Then he just took my mouth and yanked those babies out. Then my face was numb for the next 4 hours. Yay. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve...Yes!!!!! Fun, fun, fun!

And now here is my comparison that you'll be thinking about tonight as you fall asleep and tomorrow and all the way through 2009. I'll compare:

A Phone Call to After Dinner Mint

*Your phone rings and you answer it~You unwrap the paper on the mint and stick it in your mouth

*The person on the other line has something they need to tell you that you don't know about~ You're not too sure what flavor the mint is and your trying to figure out what flavor it is

*You find a way to try and solve the problem or whatever on the phone and things start to come together~You get used to the flavor of the mint and things start to come together

*Everything is all better and you hang up the phone, satisfied~The dinner mint was delicious and it has dissolved in your mouth and you are satisfied.


Whoo! And now...A Meaning for Yabo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, i googled Yabo the other day to see if there truly was a meaning and it's a word...in Japanese. According to Wikipedia, a yabo thing is usually unrefined, gigantic, coarse, childish, colorful, self-conscious, permanent, loud, superficial, vulgar, snobbish, boorish. This brings us to a new poll question...

P.S. This very well be my last post of 2008...

Not Going To Be Good

Today those 2 teeth i talked about earlier this month are going to be pulled out. This is terrible. My mouth will be numb and i'll look weird and IT'S GONNA HURT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was flipping through channels and BAM! I saw it, "Alice in Wonderland". I had never ever seen Alice in Wonderland so i said, "What the hey?" There's a lot of singing apparently. My aunt Peggy recently broke her ankle :( she slipped on the stupid ice while getting the mail. That's unfortunate. Get Well Soon, Aunt Peggy! I hope she can still come to New Year's Eve Partay. Speaking of which, for New Year's Eve everyone from my mom's side of the family goes to an Embassy Suites and parties there.

But yeah i'm like really nervous. Maybe it will help thta the two teeth are already kind of loose. Okay something is seriously wrong with my toilet because someone flushed it like an hour and it's still running! Huh, not good!

Marley & Me

Jared was here and he loves his big brother Zach's blog. It truly is A-MA-ZA-ZAING!

Today i went to see the movie "Marley & Me." It stars Owen Wilson, Jennifer Aniston and Alan Arkin. I balled and blubbered like there was no tomorrow. Huh, just kidding but i did cry. Just not like a baby. The last time i cried over a movie was the last time i saw "The Fox and the Hound." I cry when i see the movie. It's so sad when the Granny takes Todd the Fox back to the woods and the sad music starts playing and Todd and the Granny are both crying. But yeah the reason i was crying was (don't read any further until you see the second line of stars.):

**********************Spoiler Alert*********************
Marley dies

Good movie, though. Chinese food was on the menu tonight. I tried some and now i like Chinese Food. I'm pretty bored.

And now, the topic of the day...Overgrown Fingernails. That picture of that psycho who grew them out sooooooooooo long in the Guinness Book of World Records is truly repulsive. It's dirty and disgusting and i don't get why. Now think about why they paint the fingernails. A). there decorating hideous pieces of work and B). It probably costs a lot of money because you go threw a lot of nail polish. Which brings us to the uselessness of nail polish. Honestly, what's the point of decorating the things that can be used as defense mechanisms. Once someone gives me a rational explanation i will understand.

By the way, Jared being so immature, he calls me big brother. He is not younger than me. I am not his big brother. He's only been on this a few times. He doesn't love the blog.

In my opinion...

...this has got to be the worst day of the year. December 26th. The sound of it makes you. What a downer, the day after Christmas. I know this is a big shopping day, but you don't see me shopping. Today was not very productive. I had basketball practice amd went to Applebee's because my mom "wasn't cookin'" after cooking a whole bunch of food for Chrismas.

I can't believe that there won't be Christmas for 364 days. That is a lot of days! At Applebee's, there was a girl who kept staring at me. I stared back when she wasn't looking. Sometimes we met eye to eye but not too much. I might've been blushing because she was like 16 and she eyeballing me. It was consistent. Kinda questionable. Hmmm.

And now, the topic of the day...Neighbors. You love 'em, you hate 'em. I actually have some
pretty nice neighbors. There are always those rotten neighbors you see in movies but that's not the case in the real world. We have a lot of leftover 2 liter sodas from Christmas so i'm taking cup after cup after cup.

Day 30

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Twelve drummers drumming, Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree!

Merry Christmas to one and all! Well, i had one merry Christmas. Last night was Christmas Eve. For Christmas i got most of things i wanted. The Yabo Mania shirt kind of worked out. My mom originally got something off the Internet, but it was waaaaaaaaayyy too small. Then she found a place that did that kind of thing, but the phone was disconnected. So she went to Hobby Lobby and got the words and ironed them on. We're afraid the ironed stuff will fall off, so me and my mom are continuing our quest to find the ultimate YaboMania T-shirt. However, the shirt i currently have will do. I am definitely happy i got it and i am absolutely not an ingrate. Now we have something special. The most faithful reader of Yabomania has asked for something similar to Chase's Corner. Josh is here to write about himself. So before i head off for today, i would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and hope you liked YaboMania's 1st annual 30 days of Christmas.

And now... Josh's Junction!!!!!

Hello all YaboMania readers! First and foremost I would like to say that it is both an honor and a privilege of having the opportunity to post on this magnificent spot. In keeping with the tradition of the blog, I will inform all readers of the current happenings in my life; however, as this will be my only post I feel like I must regress in order to truly enlighten readers who are not familiar with me. I must say I absolutely destroyed all of my finals, although I will admit that my course load required only two finals, only one of which was accumulative. Therefore I had ample time to study for each. Moving on, last night was Christmas Eve which we celebrate every year with my Dad's side. It was a good time, though I will admit that I am a little irked that we lost Trivial Pursuit, however I contend that the other team received much easier questions. Today is Christmas and mom's side is coming over. We are feasting on prime rib and twice baked potatoes. We have not opened presents yet because my mother (Julezzz) had to work this morning. The suspense is killing me. Ah, not really its fun though and truthfully I am more excited to see the gifts I bought opened because I think I got everyone some pretty cool things. With finals and such I didn't get a chance to go shopping until last Monday and Tuesday, but I finished with 24 hours to spare. Not too shabby. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. I feel like I have mentioned everything I needed to mention, and I now have much more respect for Mr. Yabo who writes daily. Again, thanks for letting me post and I hope all of YaboMania's faithful readers enjoy my offerings.
P.S. - I have always wanted to say this:

Day 29

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Eleven pipers piping, Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

Oh my gosh! I'm flabbergasted! Tomorrow is Christmas. It's so weird. Then comes New Year. Then 2009! Crazy. I can't write much since we're leaving pretty soon to go to my Aunt's house. This is just so exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Topic of the Day...Butterflies. They are so harmless and fluttery. We wonder why they were put on this earth. It's such a mystery. I'm not even sure how they help the world and what they do for us, but i'm glad they're here. They're not really here considering it's 17 degrees out!!!

I'm so excited!!! Merry Christmas, see you tomorrow!

Day 28

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Ten lords a-leaping, Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree



Hello. 2 days till Christmas. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I'm...so excited! Today was a good day. No, a great day. I had Papa John's Pizza for dinner. I am thinking about watching movie tonight. Hmm. Now something you may have not known about me:

I love the song "So What" by P!nk. It truly is an amazing song. The lyrics and music just make you wanna get up and do karaoke on the song. Whoo!

Now, the topic of the day...Energy Drinks. I call them Torture in a Can. Especially that first drink. The first drink is kinda like "Wow, where did that come from?" but then you take a second sip, then a third. You eventually get used to the wacko taste and then you start to feel this...something. Then you go completely insane. You totally go off the deep end. Oh no. I just saw on the news a girl died in a car accident because of the ice and snow. She was only 16. That's really terrible especially at this time of year. It makes me wonder why bogus stuff like this happens. That saying "there's a reason for everything" is ridiculous.

Day 27

On the ninth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Nine ladies dancing, Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

Today was a day full of grandparents. First, my mom's dad came over to work on our kitchen floor. He had a really bad cold and i hope he's better by Christmas. Then my dad's parents came to drop off plates and napkins and whatnot for Christmas. Also they brought over our Christmas presents so they would have less to take on Christmas Day. I was originally not gonna open them, but my Grandma insisted to open them. She said that when she was a child, her and her brother would sneak into the living room and unwrap there presents before their parents were awake, then rewrap them and go back to bed. Then her mother would be so excited and they already knew what they got. Anyway, Grandma convinced us to open our presents. I got a VERY NICE new golf bag and two pairs of warm pajama pants which i was desperately in need of.

Now, the topic of the day...Traditions! Traditions are great things to have. Christmas traditions particularly. A couple years ago, Christmas Eve would be celebrated at my Grandma and Grandpa's house on my mom's side of the family. We had a pinata filled with candy then "Santa", or as i call him Uncle Jeff, came and gave us presents. Now, we go to Aunt Kathy, Chase's mom's house and have a gift exchange and "Santa" still comes. At the gift exchange, everyone brings their own gift to exchange. People draw a number then go in the order of the numbers. However, if someone wants a gift that's already been picked, they can steal it. A gift can only be stolen twice. Last year, i was first to pick the gift. The year before that, i was the second person. I'm hoping for a number later on the number line this year. I'm in the Adult Exchange this year. Let's hope for a good gift.

I was watching The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and he says that it's been snowing in Malibu. He also said, " The economy is bad Kev, (Kevin Eughbanks, leader of the Tonight Show band) Chihuahuas are actually eating dog food!"

Day 26

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Eight maids a-milking, Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

I thought we'd start out today with some poetry:

What goes through our minds,
As the world is turning?
Why do we keep ourselves away,
Away from the things we're yearning?

What's so wrong with speaking our minds?
Why do we keep our mouths shut?
Let the words fall off your lips
Like a Tango, let the words strut

Step up to the plate
And don't ever back down
Be the best that you can be
Wear a smile, not a frown

4 more days till Christmas!!!!! Partay!!!! I watching this show and this lady passed away and so someone wrote a poem about her and it was so nice so i decided to write a poem of my own. We won our Basketball game today!!! The other team didn't show up so we won by default! Now we're finally gonna be in the right league. Okay my sister is BEGGING me for the laptop so i'll give it to her!!!

Day 25: On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Seven swans a-swimming, Six geese a-laying, Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

Well, my finger is still kinda hurting. I went sledding yesterday. Woo-hoo! I didn't break anything. All the teachers are always saying "Be careful over Christmas Break!" but i can't do that when Danger is my middle name! (Huh, just kidding, it's Joseph.)

Today in History:
Sacagawea, Shoshone interpreter for Lewis and Clark, dies

Fascinating, huh? 5 more days till Christmas and i'm...so excited!!! Now i have 5 random questions that you or i have always wondered:

1. What's it like to be attacked by crows? Do they just peck away or somehow bite you?

2. How do you fake a good punch? in the movies, there either really, really fake or really, really real. How do you make it look real without actually injuring someone?

3. What is the real cause of death or Meriweather Lewis from the Lewis and Clark expedition? Was he robbed and killed or did he do it to himself?

4. Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family and the van Daans and the dentist? Someone betrayed those people over to the Nazis and i want to know who!

5. Who am I related to? You never know who your ancestors might be and i think it would be cool to be related to someone famous!

Day 23:On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Five golden rings, Four calling birds, Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

Hello!! I stink at geography!!! We were quizzing for our Geography Bee and i got all three questions wrong. Then at Basketball practice i jammed my finger and it hurts so bad!!! Now my brother's claiming school's closed but i don't think so. Jared is not, repeat not, the smartest person ever and quite frankly i find him as an airhead...yeah school's cancelled. I was so looking forward to the Christmas party...too bad. Anyway, my finger is taped up. Well tomorrow is gonna be boring. I don't have much to say. My mom sent out our Christmas cards and i look terrible. Shocker.

I am now watching Volleyball. Well, i guess i'll leave you with a poem:

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
Who wrote such a song?
Winter is oh so stupid and bland
It has no warm weather, something for which i long

Day 21

On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Three French hens, Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

Heellllooo!!!!! I was in a crazy mood today! We were watching a movie in one class and i played Tic-Tac-Toe and won!!! I was watching Family Feud just now and this dude came on and started saying the host was "the man." Total spazz...I bought my Secret Santa gift. Since i'm giving the person the gift tomorrow and it's 8:30 at night i'll spill the beans: I had Logan and i got him something that's like the game Jenga but it's called Tumbling Towers or something like that. We also got him pens since he's obsessed with them and Pez the candy. Whoo-hoo! 9 days till Christmas. Awesome, right? Well, it is. I know everyone is gonna vote Rudolph on the poll, so i went with Vixen. That actually is a female fox. There's a commercial on and a lady ran her car into a bathroom and then sprayed some stuff in the shower trying to get some grime away. Weird commercials now a days.

I sneezed. Now Billy Mayes, the guy who screams when he talks and is always talking about "As seen on Tv" itemsi s talking about glue that "patches up and fixes" ripped clothing. Yeah Right. I think you are a Yabo if you honestly believe that. My mother is obsessed with "As seen on Tv" items. Her, me, Chase and others always talk about it. The only one i've truly wanted is The Magic Bullet. The commercial is cheesy and filled with bad actors, but the food they make looks good. I finished my homework quickly. School is good. I haven;t had a headache in a long time which is good. That's it for now i guess...

Day 20

On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me Two turtle doves, And a partridge in a pear tree.

Susie didn't win. She was the runner-up. She got 3 votes-Bob got 4. This stinks because the people who deserve to win never do. Bob should have have won. He played the game HORRIBLY and got this far and all the people who got voted off chose him. Evil little doers. Well, runner-up has to get something. I'm guessing she won $100,000. She deserved it. In my mind she did win. I was in tears because she didn't get it. That's the way i am. I don't care at all when i lose. I care when other people lose. When i am rooting for someone and they don't win it stinks.

Today very productive, and not in a good way. After gym class i found my sweatshirt in the garbage. Then i took my shirt and left. The shirt wasn't mine. It was too big for me and it smelled horrible. I threw it away right when i got home. Instantaneously. I want to take shower, but i'm not sure it's worth it. Tonight for dinner is spaghetti. My least favorite food. I'll make myself something else i guess. Well that's it for the day.

Day 19

On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me A partridge in a pear tree

Right now i'm watching the Survivor Finale. Go Susie!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've rooted for her since Day 1! She's underestimated and i want her to win so bad!!! Also left is Bob and Sugar. Sugar has no chance. Susie has an O.K. chance. Bob is well liked but come on! Susie deserves it!

I don't think she'll win though. Boo-hoo! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

I'm really scared. Now the Jury is voting. The Reunion is up next. I went to the Wikipedia page and a bunch of people messed it all up saying someone won that didn't. I'm gonna talk about it at school tomorrow, i'm gonna go to bed thinking about it. It's the Finale! Whoo. I just feel this really big burst of energy and now i'm freaking out like a total spazz! Now im seeing a preview for the next episode of CSI: Miami. That show isn't the same without Khandi Alexander. She rocked and deserved an Emmy. I'm gonna freak out on my own now. I'm gonna post the new poll which im looking forward to. I'll blog about the winner tomorrow.

Day 18

Grandma got run over by a reindeer, Walking home from our house Christmas eve, You can say there's no such thing as Santa, But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.



I had a basketball game today and lost terribly because once again we weren't facing people in our league. Next week we'll be in the correct league and we'll dominate them. I'm getting really mad because i cannot type right now. Well, what can i say? Yesterday we went to Sam's and got Hot wings of some sort. Apparently you can buy them now. I'm gonna eat them for lunch. My mom has to make them because i always burn myself in the oven. My mouth was watering just thinking about them. It's now 4:43. I stopped that post to eat.

Well i am at a loss. I have often said i am a frequent gum chewer so now i'll share some of my favorites:
Stride-Citrus
Orbit-Spearmint
Orbit- Citrus

I like all kinds pretty much. Now i'll share some random facts:

• Everyday more money is printed for Monopoly than the U.S. Treasury
• Men can read smaller print than women can; women can hear better
• The state with the highest percentage of people who walk to work: Alaska
• The youngest pope was 11 years old
• If you were to spell out the numbers, you'd have to count to 1,000 to find the letter A.
• In Scotland, a new game was invented: Gentleman Only Ladies Forbidden, which came to be known as GOLF.
• 75% of the people who read this will try to lick their elbow.

Day 16 & 17

Day 16: You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You have termites in your smile, You have all the tender sweetness of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch, Given a choice between the two of you I'd take the seasick crocodile! You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch, You're the king of sinful sots, Your heart's a dead tomato splotched with moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch, You're a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

Day 17:
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch, With a nauseous super "naus"!, You're a crooked dirty jockey and you drive a crooked hoss, Mr. Grinch, Your soul is an appalling dump heap overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of rubbish imaginable mangled up in tangled up knots! You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch, You're a nasty wasty skunk, Your heart is full of unwashed socks, your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch, The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote, "Stink, stank, stunk"!

Today is Day 16 & 17, and do you recall me saying something ongoing will begin on Day 19. Well, i did. Be prepared. It's coming. That day is also the Season Finale of Survivor. Whoo-Hoo! I now feel that this is the right time to tell you about my Christmas List:

• Money, i spent it all on golfing this summer
• P!nk CD-Funhouse
• Boys Like Girls CD
• New Golf Clubs
• Yabomania T-Shirt and Coffee Mug
• "Think Green" T-Shirt of some sort, i'm going enviromental
• Trivial Pursuit
• 13 Dead End Drive (Board Game)
• Pet of some sort- Turtle, Fish, Et cetera et cetera

Yep! If i get a fish i'll name him Aquamaquisha. I won't know if it's a boy or girl some i'll give it a random name. My mom says she doesn't want another animal in the house. However, she also said Jared wasn't getting a cell phone for his Birthday and he did! Let's keep our fingers crossed! I already know what the new blog question is gonna be. This one was kinda lame! Yesterday, was my school's Christmas Program and i went for Paige. I sat in the back the whole time and chilled with all my 6th Grade homedogs. I have a lot! One of my teachers even gave me a round of applause for sitting in the back talking! Jared wants the laptop and he is getting restless so i guess i gotta give it to him!

Day 14 & 15

Once again yesterday i didn't find enough hours in the day to blog so please forgive me

Day 14:Rocking around the Christmas Tree Let the Christmas Spirit ring Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling You will get a sentimental feeling When you hear voices singing "Let's be jolly; Deck the halls with boughs of holly" Rocking around the Christmas Tree Have a happy holiday Everyone's dancing merrily In a new old fashioned way

Day 15:You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch You really are a heel, You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch, You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel! You're a monster, Mr. Grinch, Your heart's an empty hole, Your brain is full of spiders, you have garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch, I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!


Today Drama Club performed our skits and it was absolutely amazing! The crowd really and enjoyed it and it was so much fun. However it's sad because Drama Club is now over. She's working with a big play with the 8th graders and then in the Spring something with the 7th graders. I was hoping it would start up again in the spring, apparently not. She said there may be a slight chance she'll find something else, but i doubt it. I enjoyed it though. I got a haircut today. It looks O.K. i guess.

Now something you didn't know about me:
I HATE Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That is the worst movie i have ever seen in my whole entire life and the person who made it is despicable. That disturbing song the evil rotten Oompa Loompas sing is appalling. There geen hair and white eyebrows and orange skin makes me want to choke the life out of them. I'm gonna have a terrible dream now just talking about them. It's disgusting that someone would create those evil rotten brats that are terrible little creatures that i have come to HATE with a burning passion. The fact that kids everywhere are being tortured my these Oompa loompas makes me sad.

I'm sorry if i'm coming off as harsh but these things are something that have scared me evr since i first saw the movie.

Hola! Que tal? Sorry i can't use the proper symbols to write in Spanish but my computer doesn't have the keys you need. I had a test today. We are learning time. I feel pretty confident. I'm getting really nervous because our Christmas skits are on Wednesday and i'm really hoping we are prepared. Christmas is 17 days away. How exciting. For Christmas Eve, we go to my aunt's house for my mom's side of the family and Christmas Day is at my house for my dad's side of the family. There is something wrong with the "L" key so if i miss any L's please forgive me. I really need to start thinking of some blog questions. I personally liked my President one and i'm hoping more creative ideas will come to me. We recently got a Christmas card from our old neighbor who we didn't here from last year so it was great to here from her now!

Quote Time:
"Fall seven times and stand up eight"

This is a perseverance quote and means never give up. I think that'll do. You can go with that so i don't have to come up with an even more complicated answer. Well, i guess it means that every time you fail, make it better by one upping it. I'm leaving it at that before i go insane.

DAy 12

Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say, Rudolph with your nose so bright, why don't you guide myu sleigh tonight. Then all the reindeer loved as they shouted out with glee, Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer, you'llgo down in history.

I apologize for the length of this but i've had a very busy day and it's hard to find time to post. I had a basketball game which went miserably because we faced an A-team when we're on a B-team so it was extremely unfair and ridiculous and hte final score was not pretty. But i truly tried my hardest and i had fun. This whole competitive stuff is just plain lame. I am a good sport ecxept when people are just terribly bragging and i feel like i have to take them down and show them that i am the winner because i have style and class.

Now that i'm done ranting i'll have to think of a new poll question. MY Christmas play is on Wednesday so i'm super excited. Have a wonderful evening and i will blog at you later.

Day 11

Rudolph Part 1:
Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer had a very shiny nose. And if you ever saw him, you would even say it glows. All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names. They never let poor Rudolph join in any reindeer games.

Part 2 is tomorrow and that's what i'll do for some songs. Chase is really liking the fact that he has his very own corner on this blog. I did a little bit of my own Christmas shopping today. Paige has been gone with friend the whole day. Last night my mom saw her friend and as a Christmas present she gave her 4 packs of Orbit Chewing Gum:
Citrusmint
Spearmint
Bubblemint
Wintermint
Crystalmint

I now have the mission to chew one piece of each flavor. My mom already had Bubblemint in her purse. I first chewed Citrusmint since because i've had other Citrus-flavored gum before and it's delicious. Then i enjoyed Spearmint. When i was getting a piece of another flavor i realized this was serious. I had to chew one piece of each before the day is over. Bubblemint had to go next because like i said we already had that pack and there was one piece left. I am currently enjoying Wintermint and i promise i will get the job done. I pet my dog and she went toward me. She's going down! If she's gonna act out over and over i'm gonna act out toward her. My dad said and this probably won't happen but he said he's gonna give her back to her original owner. Then we'll get a nice small puppy. She needs to grow up and not be such a little brat. She's what i call a "spiritual kleptomaniac" She's stealing all the good feelings i have for her.

And now, it's time for...Chase's Corner!!!!!
Now here's your host: Chase
Its family game night!!!! The game of choice "fact or crap." The object is to guess if the statement is a "fact" or "crap".

What can I say about zach, well he gave me my own corner!!! Yesssssssssssss, I know you must all be excited to read what I have in store for you, you must know it is some very thoughtful insight about days past because of my great vast stores of knowledge, well for today I want to touch on the matter of As seen on T.V. items. Some people believe these things are so cool. And i would have to agree! I love the little gadgets that people put out there to make life "easier". Most of the time the stuff isn't even that great, but the great long advertising ploys are great and i recommend everyone to buy As Seen on T.V. stuff. Support the great junk that no one really needs and buy some of the stuff!!!!! Tune in next time for another segment of ,

Chase will be back again tomorrow so enjoy.

Day 8 and 9

Day 8:
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride on a one horse open sleigh

I hate myself. I totally forgot yesterday. So this means i have to do double duty today.

Today was not very productive. My dog has dominance issues. She's realized that we are getting bigger and not her playmates anymore so here's how sees the family in order of importance:
Mom & Dad
Herself
Jared
Myself and Paige

She's trying to establish her place in the family. The kids gotta show her who's boss. We can only pet her on her shoulders and on her back and stomach because petting her on the head shows signs of dominance. She cannot stay on the furniture and when she wants food or to go outside she must sit down and listen to us. So yeah my dog thinks she's better than me. Problems.

Day 9:
You Better Watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout i'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town. He's making a list, checking it twice. Gonna find out who's naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town. He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake!

Today we got out of school early for their teachers to have their monthly meeting. There, my English teacher is going to talk about having times to present Drama Club's Christmas plays. Whoo i'm excited! I also don't have any homework. Great Day. Tonight we are having some type of chicken for dinner. I have basketball practice tonight and tomorrow. Tonight we get our jerseys. Let's hope for a good number. Tomorrow we have a school pep rally. Uhhh... Okay! Our first game is Sunday.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, of all the trees most lovely
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, of all the trees most lovely
Each year you bring to me delight, meaning in the Christmas night
Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, of all the trees most lovely

This has to be quick because i have to do my homework and then I'm going to a basketball game. We keep on practicing for our Christmas play and it's really coming along and i'm really excited. We blocked most of it out and i really am looking forward to doing this for the school. My dog attacked me last night. I hugged her and she started biting my face as if i was hurting her. She is a Brittany Spaniel and i dont know if they usually do this. However, this has been going on for a while. She barks at our guests, especially me, Jared and Paige's friends. She made my lip bleed and pierced my temple. My mom is with her at the vet right now and Kobe is getting an "Examination". I just want her to be okay and not so mean anymore.

Random Thoughts About Zach:

• I have a deathly fear of clowns.
• I don't like horror movies.
• I'm a frequent gum-chewer
• I have a weak stomach and often gag when I'm grossed out.
• I have a recurring dream where I am walking my mother to work and a snake comes out of the bushes and wraps around her. My mother tells me to run away and i open a door in the middle of the parking lot which just so happens to lead to my basement and later that night my mom is in a secret laboratory where she is making evil plans.

Today i went to an orthodontist appointment. He gave me the unfortunate news that i have to have two teeth pulled. My dad decided to schedule it next week. I'm gonna look like a freak. There not right in the front, those are long gone. However they are two away from the front. I am sad. It's gonna hurt. The dentist will shove a needle up my mouth that will make my face droop and then give me laughing gas that makes people act like psychos and it will probably hurt. It's gonna be bad.

25 days till Christmas. 25 days to get in the spirit. 25 days, 25 days. Our Christmas tree is up and the decorations inside and out are up, too. It's snowing. It snowed last night but it quickly melted. I don't want a snow day because i wanna go back to my gangsta friends at school. Plus drama club is working on our Christmas plays so we need to practice. I need to finish my book report book and then my book report because it's due pretty soon. The new poll question kinda just came to me. I thought of it and now I'm really looking forward to the results. I know a lot of people would like to meet George Washington or Abraham Lincoln but I'm hoping for more diverse results with people voting for nobody presidents like James Tyler and Franklin Pierce. I voted for Rutherford B. Hayes because in 3rd Grade i did a report on him. I didn't vote for Obama despite me being an Obamaniac. So while doing this, don't think of Presidents who are well known, think of presidents who you would like to get to know a little better or learn more about...or Wikipedia them.

Tomorrow is my 1st day back at school since Tuesday. It's also the 1st day of the 1st Annual 30 Days of Christmas that doesn't have an opening song from We Three Kings. This one may surprise you.

Tonight is obviously Day 4 considering the fact that yesterday was Day 3. It was Jared's birthday today and he got a cellphone. When my parents bought him that cellphone it came with 2 more free phones so my mom got anew one because her old one wasn't working and the other one was for me and Paige to take when we go places. Paige doesn't need it because she doesn't do anything. So it's basically mine, Whoo. The final days of November are coming and ending very quickly. Christmas is a incredible time of year. Oh i just did incorrect grammar and nobody's gonna stop me. How do ya like them apples????? By the way, i hate playing in snow. I get cold. Cold isn't the most awesome thing ever.

We Three Kings will be on through December and expect an on-going song starting Day 19

Ok now that we got that settled, My Thanksgiving was terrific as yours was hopefully. Now we have no choice but to focus on Christmas. Enough with the turkey talk. My motherhas asked me to make a Christmas list so yeah she's even thinking about it. But Yeah, i got some pretty big things planned for these Songs. I also am thinking about some interaction. Christmas Analogies. I want you to leave a comment comparing Christmas with something else. A Simile, or Metaphor, i don't know what it's called. If you don't have a google account no worries. Just go to comments, write your comment and sign your name and there should be something that says "Anonymous". Mark yourself as that, but like i said sign your name so i know who you are. The winner will get bragging rights until the 2nd annual 30 Days of Christmas. You can really rub it in to. You got my permission. Start thinking of some analogies because i don't know about you but i'm pretty competitive. I will leave an example comment to show you.

Well today is Thanksgiving and here i am in my Living Room watching The 82nd Annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Radio City Rockettes are performing right now. Earlier the cast of The Little Mermaid was performing. My dog is squealing about something. Don't know what it is but it's annoying. She just came to me and has her collar off... I'm scared. Who would ever kidnap me and rob my house at 9:56 a.m. on Thanksgiving. It's ok. My mom always says That i'm safe because our house has a big tree in the way of it so it's totally unnoticeable. The turkey's coming my by. Now there's a band from South Dakota. Speaking of which, yesterday Jared said he was smarter than me and then i asked him the Capitol of Washington. He hit a total blank. I will now state a bunch of states then state their capitols:
Washington-Olympia
California-Sacramento
North Dakota- Bismark
South Dakota- Pierre
Nebraska- Lincoln
Iowa- Des Moines

Texas- Austin
Oklahoma- Oklahoma City

Thanksgiving is just around the corner (seriously, it's tomorrow) and what gift is better to get for your family than a World-Famous Turkey. That's right, A turkey, a world-renowned bird that is slaughtered brutally than somewhat cleaned by questionable people and put in a store where you buy it and chow down on it on Thansgiving without even thinking that that Turkey's life is as valuable as yours but you get to be the one to eat the other. That never ever crosses one's mind.

My cousin Sarah is in town from college. My other two cousins and their my mom, my aunt and Godmother, and my other uncle and aunt are also in town. I can't wait to eat all amazing food. My aunt's blueberry muffins, the turkey despite the truth of what i write above^^^^^^.

No Christmas break on this blog. By the way, if i fall sick, i may not be able to post. I will then post as many posts as i have to to make up the time that was lost. This is serious.

A lot to catch up on

\ello. Friday was a terrible day. First, my red pen exploded all up over me. How stupid. Then in Literature i made an unfortunate mistake of forgetting my homework. I got my 1st check this quarter. i was pretty upset about that one. Then the teachers thought the middle school had problems gettting ready after lunch because we "talk too much." The whole middle school had to have a silent lunch and i you were caught talking you would get mark on your card. what was really lame about this was that the whole entire 6th grade never does anything. it's always the 7th graders. we have to pay for what the 7th graders do. Unbelievable.

I ended up having an excruciating headache that day. then i haad to go serve at a food shelter where all the pots and pans were banging. i was 99% sure i was gonna die. I ended being saved from an untimely death and my mom took me to a store sfterwards and i got some aspirin and felt all better. Then we ate out with my aunt and cousins. Thanksgiving is this week. I'm thankful for everything i have. I hope you are to.

Putting Off Homework

I kinda had a lot of homework this weekend and i have barely done any of it. The thing is i like enjoying my weekend and not having to worry about school. Sadly, i'm always left doing it on Sunday night because no matter how much i want it to leave it simply stays there. I have a headache right now. Huuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh. i am so bored and i probably should be doing my homework but i don't feel like it. For my book report book i'm reading a book called Hurricane Song. It's about a boy named Miles who loves football but his dad and uncle are obsessed with Jazz. They live south and Hurricane Katrina is quickly approaching and they're at a Superdome.

This week's question: What is the best sandwich place?

• Blimpie's
• Jimmy John's
• Quizno's
• Subway

Interesting, huh. My cousin Sarah works at Jimmy Johns and they have good sandwiches and chips so i chose that. I think Subway will win. Quizno's and Blimpie's have cool names and good sandwiches, but i don't think they have enough popularity. It was hard for me to pick one, and i didn't want to do an "all of the above" so i picked JJ's.

Make a choice!

Election Day 2008

Here we are. Finally, after a long year of campaigning, trash-talking, and backstabbing it all comes down to this. When President Barack Obama wins i'll be ecstatic. When my mom wakes me up in the morning and tells me who won i'll either rejoice or cry and punch a hole in my wall. I'm sorry. I just get really competitive. Especially when it's with other people. I supported Barack since day 1 and i don't even care if his initials are B.O. Body Odor isn't involved in Presidency. Who knows? He might have a really bad stench or he might smell likes roses. Who knows?

A lot of people i know are gonna hate my political views so i'm gonna stop talking about it! I have basketball practice tonight. I barely had any homework. It's too bad i don't wanna keep going on about politics for the sake of this blog. However my father just informed me that McRage and the moose hunter are winning 11 electoral votes to 3. The night is young, Barack Obama will become the next president. We can't let Sarah Palin be the next president. I hate to break it to you but that's probably what's gonna happen. Those two "Mavericks" are going down town.

Obama-Biden '08

This is so embarrassing you probably won't believe me

First i just wanna say i decided to change up the template. Enjoy

Today i did something I'm not proud of. I was enjoying a dum-dum sucker. i decided to try and rip off the sucker of the stick so i could just have it like a mint. i was ripping it off with my teeth and pulling really hard. I pulled and it came off. the stick still had bits of sucker on it and it was very sharp. My hand went back and the sucker scratched up my face. Yes, i have a scratch across 3/4 of my cheek all from a dum-dum sucker. I know a lot of people who probably would be too embarrassed to tell about this but this is my blog and i feel on this blog i should tell about my interesting life. If you don't believe this happened you can ask my mother. Oh yeah. This is now holds the title of the Strangest Injury of Zach. The injury that used to hold this title was when i got a paper cut on my lip from licking an envelope. I have the day off of school tomorrow so I'm hoping the scratch will stay till Tuesday and everyone asks and i tell them about a gruesome fight with a grizzly bear.

Basketball tryouts were today. There will be 2 teams A and B teams. Team A is the better players. Team B is for the O.K. players. I'm really not expecting to make the A Team. Today at practice i had so much fun and that truly is what it's all about. I don't care what you say. That's what i'm there to do. I'm gonna have fun this season.

And now...Zach's Favorites:

Halloween's Over Already

Yeah so quick. I was the Burger King Burger King. I went with David and Liam. I got a lot of candy. Yesterday at school the 6th grade presented their inventions to the 7th and 8th graders which i didn't like because Jared was there and all his friends were annoying. Then we went skating. That was so Zappin' fun. I learned how to skate and i didn't fall that much. There was a lot of events. The dice contest. Lost. Mummy Wrap. Lost (but being wrapped in toilet paper was fun.) Twinkie and Pickle eating conteest. Didn't Compete. Limbo. Out second round. I fell right before i went under but the dude said i could still try. I kinda got under it but apparently i hit the bar. I got an applause and my brother who i currently am disgusted with said it was "sick" which is his word for cool. That evil kid who i think i should call Temple of Ignorance stole the TV from me and he is so rude. Now he thinks he can talk to me and im not answering.

I'm Zach and I Approve this Message :)

Do not scold me or this blog for my political views but Barack Obama is winning the race. He is so cool and I totally voted for him in my classroom poll. So for the story (yes, im continuing, part-time) You voted and you left me with Chris, Izzy, Emma, Peggy, Hilda, Asa, and KellyAnne. Okay, i've made my decision. I'm going skating tomorrow for my school party.

Characters:
Chris, Kennedy, Steve, Peggy, Ezekiel, Izzy, Geoff, Luke, Maggie, Arnold, Hilda, Jack, KellyAnne, Benedict, Emma, Asa, Renee
"Seekers":
Dean and Svetlana
Victims:
Dana, Bridgette, Tyler, Jebediah, Abe, Lindsay

Izzy was happy. Maggie had a concussion, Lindsay was gone, and Kennedy wasn't talking. Izzy wasn't the nicest psycho around. She loved to see other people cry and she loved satisfaction and loved being annoying and rude. She didn't care how mean and cruel she had to be to get her way. Although Izzy didn't realize this, everyone disliked Izzy way more than Maggie. Izzy was considered the mean girl. SHe was so competitive and since the Joshness was a game of survival, she was willing to do anything to eliminate anyone else. She had to make a list of people to send off. Steve was quiet and always smiled. Definetly had to go. However, Peggy was smart and intellegent and really cool. She hates people like that. When the time came, Steve was in the office to get his forgotten lunch, so Izzy grabbed Peggy by the hair and held her till the Joshness found them. Joshness took both of them...Izzy and Peggy.

Things To Do:

1. Talk to you about what the future holds for YaboMania
2. Current Life Happenings
3. Food
4. Allergies and Tea

Here We Go:
I've heard comments about my story. My aunt Peggy thinks she will be the next victim since there's a character named Peggy. She also wonders about Svetlana. Uncle Paul Says great story. My cousin Josh and "his piers" want to know more about me. I've started this story and plan on finishing because i don't like incompleted things. I've thought about a little bit of both. That's my final decision. I just don't always have the time. I'm starting to think about big things. Seasons. Season 1 finale that will blow your mind. A mystery poll that will keep you wanting more. A news desk for things i hear around the world. Big things. Big things.

My Invention's Fair for science class is tomorrow. Field Trip today. Halloween is next week and since im in Middle School i get to go to a party at a place called Skate City even though when i last went there i had severe bruises on various bones of my body the next morning.

Tonight we were originally suppose to have Shrimp & Macaroni and Cheese but my mom had to go to a meeting so we had Taco Bell. 'Tis the season for one of the best foods ever: Carmel Apples. I cannot get enough of those sweet fruits covered in nuts and sticky, gooey yumminess.

As i have previously told you, i have allergies. My allergies have put me in pain recently when i had a sore throat and ears from all the nastiness i have in my body. I haven't gotten a headache yet but saddly i have a feeling i will tomorrow. My mom gave me tea with honey and it was actually good. De-caf, thank gosh because i actually wanna get to sleep tonight. Out of Coffee Creamer so no coffee today and tomorrow. Sad Face.

Yesterday i went bowling with Logan and Grant and not to brag but i was the first one to get a strike and im not even that good.

"Seekers":
Svetlana and Dean
Victims:

Izzy and Asa were messing around in the hallway. Izzy was known as a psycho who always got up in your face and always exceeded the line that marked people's personal space. Asa was a quiet boy, but he came alive when he was around Izzy. She made him feel wild and free and that he could do anything. They were skipping class and having a spitball fight. Lindsay the Hall Monitor walked around the corner and saw them. She tried to give them a detention but they ran away. They ended up running into Kennedy. She was crying. They asked her what was wrong. She said Maggie was making fun of Kennedy ring, but Kennedy said it was her grandma's ring. Maggie flushed the ring down the toilet. Kennedy was a very good person, but she was angered because that ring was the only thing she had left from her Grandma. Kennedy slapped Maggie in the face and Maggie told and now Kennedy was in a huge amount of trouble. This angered Izzy. Maggie was mean to everyone and she had gone too far this time. Izzy had an idea. The next period was Study Hall. No one really noticed this except Izzy, but The Joshness always seemed to come during Study Hall. Izzy lured Maggie to meet her by the water fountain. Maggie came and Izzy made up a fake plan to bring Kennedy down. Just then The Joshness appeared just like Izzy hoped for. They both heard running footsteps but didn't know where they were coming from. Izzy pushed Maggie towards The Joshness. However, the running footsteps were from Lindsay the Hall Monitor. Maggie collided into Lindsay and Maggie hit her head on the water fountain. And Lindsay, well, I think you know what happened to her, the poor innocent bystander, hall monitor and young girl.

Svetlana and Dean
Victims:

Svetlana continued to skip school and just stay in the hut they built in the forest. She didn't want to go to school. Everybody hated her and it hurt her feelings. Out of all the places she'd seeked out,no one had ever been this mean and cruel to her. Se knew what they said could've been worse, but Svetlana was an extremely sensitive person. She thought no one would stick up for her. However, she didn' know about Geoff. How he stuck up for her and always told people to be nice when they talked about her rudely. Abe, Veronica, and KellyAnne were walking with him. They asked him why he always stuck up for her. He said she needed friends. Veronica explained how she tried and Renee tried but Svetlana almost got them...Well, they didn't know what happened to them when they got vanquished. Veronica didn't like talking about it. Everyone felt like no one was safe, and anyone could go at any time. Abe was the only person who felt laid back and didn't worry about being the next victim. As he quietly wondered if that him thinking he was safe would give him bad luck. Just then, something dark was about to attack Veronica. Abe pushed her out of the way and the darkness encompassed him and dragged a paralyzed Abe into the portal that disappearedd promptly. Geoff was disgusted, KellyAnne was in tears, and Veronica was just happy it wasn't her. She wasn't gonna be absorbed by this thing. Ever!

Who is it? Dean needed to know. Their master sent them their because the Joshness had disguised himself as a student. That's all the information their madter had gathered. It could be anyone. The Joshness evacuates himself from the person's body invisibly then appears in regular form. It could be anyone who is being taken over by Him. When the final 2 people are left, the person the Joshness has been using is the 2nd to the last victim. However, if he found out who the person being controlled was, things would be much easier. He couldn't just get into everyone's mind because when he got into someone's mind that made them the next victim. Just then, Jebediah, the omish man who was a good friend of Dean's, was petrified, He was the next victim.

Chris, Kennedy, Steve, Peggy, Ezekiel, Izzy, Geoff, Luke, Maggie, Arnold, Hilda, Jack, Jebediah, Veronica, Abe, KellyAnne, Tyler, Lindsay, Benedict, Emma, Asa, Renee
"Seekers":
Svetlana and Dean
Victims:
Dana, Bridgette

Renee didn't think anything of it. Veronica was done. She angrily asked what Svetlana was doing. Ever since she and her brother arrived to people had mysteriously vanquished from a dark mist. Veronica was not about to be next. She had to protect herself. Renee went up to Svetlana and told her not to talk to her anymore. She didn't want to be the next victim. Svetlana was sad about this. Renee wasn't there. Veronica wasn't there. Dean already had friends. Svetlana was on her own. In class, no one wanted to sit next to her. Not even Lindsay or Tyler, and they were the nicest people in the school. Peggy and KellyAnne pointed at her and laughed. Chris and Ezekiel threw erasers at her. Emma and Benedict barked at like she was a dog. The next day Svetlana didn't go to school. As everyone cheered, "Yes!" Geoff stood up for her. He told them to stop because there was nothing wrong with her. Everyone else were just jerks. Then the Joshness came and the first person he saw would be his next victim, he decided. One person stuck out to him, Jack. He went toward him when a freaked out Tyler ran into the Joshness. Once you touch the Joshness, your a goner. That's what happened to Tyler, the nice guy, the quiet guy, the smart guy, and the next victim.

Chapter Two

Scroll Down for Chapter One

Characters:
Chris, Kennedy, Steve, Peggy, Ezekiel, Izzy, Geoff, Bridgette, Luke, Maggie, Arnold, Hilda, Jack, Jebediah, Veronica, Abe, KellyAnne, Tyler, Lindsay, Benedict, Emma, Asa, Renee
"Seekers":
Svetlana and Dean
Victims:
Dana


When Monday came, Veronica hadn't slept or eat at all. She looked extremely frail. Renee hadn't spoke to anyone. Svetlana knew this would happen. However, he thought they should be happy. They didn't have to suffer from what Dana was suffering. Not knowing what's going on. The frozen feeling. Dana would have to go through that for along time. Until there was one person left standing. Just then Svetlana saw her brother holding hands with a girl named Bridgette. Svetlana laughed at the thought of her brother having a girlfriend. After all, they were just gonna stay until there was one person left. That's why Svetlana only tried to make one friend, so when she left, she wouldn't be too sad. And that friend was Renee. Just then, Maggie, the popular girl, ran into Svetlana. She looked disgusted. Her followers Kennedy and Hilda didn't like Maggie, but in order to be popular, that had to hang out with her. Maggie started screaming at Svetlana to watch where she's going and Abe and Jack came over and told Maggie she was the klutz. This surprised her and she walked away, along with Kennedy. Hilda stayed behind. Maggie asked what she was doing and Hilda told her she was doing the right thing. Kennedy didn't know what to, so she followed Maggie. As Kennedy thought about her decision, she thought she saw a dark mist. Hilda, Jack and Abe thought they saw the same thing when walking away.

So there they were. Veronica and Renee, still scared, Svetlana and Dean, feeling the Joshness, and Bridgette, not expecting what was gonna happen next. Dean went over to talk to Svetlana about the feeling he was getting when suddenly it appeared and sucked up Bridgette and took her through the portal. The last glimpse Dean saw of Bridgette was her petrified face.

Story Time

This is a new segment where i go off into writing a story that will be continued into future posts:

Characters:
Chris, Kennedy. Steve, Peggy, Ezekiel, Izzy, Geoff, Bridgette, Luke, Maggie, Arnold, Hilda, Jack, Dana, Jebediah, Veronica, Abe, KellyAnne, Tyler, Lindsay, Benedict, Emma, Asa, Renee
"Seekers":
Svetlana and Dean
Victims:
No One...Yet.

As Renee and Svetlana walked home from school, Renee was surprised when Svetlana suddenly asked if she could spend the night at Renee's house that night. She told Svetlana it is rude to invite yourself over to other people's house. Svetlana knew that, but Renee needed protection. She was going to be the first victim. Or was she? Svetlana couldn't tell what kind of signals she was getting. She just knew someone was leaving. Tonight. Svetlana suggested Dana come over, too. Renee wanted Veronica. They decided both. So Svetlana, Renee, Dana and Veronica were coming over. Svetlana was happy about this because now there were two other people who could leave. She couldn't loose Renee. She was the only person who didn't think she was weird. But, the truth was, Svetlana was weird. Her and her brother Dean were sent from their master to seek out their town and destroy the Joshness, the evil spirits that haunt the world. The Joshness appeared in Dark form, like a dark mist.

Soon the slumber party came and right when they all got their, the Joshness came. Renee, Dana and Veronica were horrified. Svetlana knew it all too well. She wasn't about to let it take anyone. But she knew sooner or later everyone would have to leave. She went toward it and tripped, which gave it a free shot at Veronica. Veronica screamed and then it happened. The Joshness changed it's mind. He lunged himself towards Dana and wrapped himself around her till she was ready. Dana went into shock and the Joshness took her away through the portal that he always entered and exited by. Dana was gone. And the first victim.

Stay tuned!

It Just Hit The Iceberg...

Yeah im watching Titanic and everyone's freaking out. Jack got arrested and Rose is standing like she's so cool. Jack was trying to get Rose to believe him that he didn't take the thing that was "stolen" and she didn't because he was pleading like one big Zappin' Shmuck. These dudes are freaking out while looking at a map and talking as if the ship is an actual person. The evil fiance slapped Rose. This guy even looks scary. He's sporting "Guyliner" which means guys who wear eyeliner like all those rock musicians that scream at you when they sing. I'm doing so awful with typing so if you see any errors i don't care anymore. I am now being told the ship will sink in an hour or two. Jack is in the slammer with this guy who hated him from the beginning for unknown reasons.

After a four day weekend i have to go back to school tomorrow.. A firework just shot up in the air. Why? I don't know. Now we have teeth cleaning commercial. Now there's a movie promo where a lady is sent to a psycho ward bcause her son is missing then found but she thinks he isn't her son.

New Record

Yea, this morning i slept in until 11:07 am witch is a new record for me by 23 minutes. Word! I didn't do anything today so it was pretty boring. Tomorrow is the start of my school's Iowa Basic Skills Test. Ughhhhh. Those things make me nervous and i get frustrated when things don't make any zappin' sense. I just thought of that word, Zappin'. It is so awesome and im gonna use it so much from now on. Well, Maybe. I don't know. So yeah im hoping we won't have that much or any homework this week. We also have Thursday and Friday off. If my Grandpa reads this he'll say to me that i never get school and that they should give us more of it but of course he's only joking. It's my dad's birthday on Tuesday and he has to work but gets off at 12:00 pm. We got him the Pink Floyd CD and socks. I hope he doesn't read this because then he'll know. Actually, he probably knows already since that's what he asked my mom to get him.

Friday night David invited me over and i was playing with his pocket knife and cut my self. Oops. Well everything was okay because i put some NeoSporin and a bandage on it and it's fine. Saturday i served 5:00 o'clock mass. Today i did nothing like i said earlier.

Well Color Me Gone,

I'm an idiot

Yes, if you haven't figured it out already. I was trying to log in and it would not let me. I kept typing my email and password but it would not let me enter into Blog World, so i went to my email to make sure that it was what i had typed. So i tried again and still it would not let me in. That's when i realized i wasn't typing all of my password. I typed it all in and i was let through. Hmmmm. Last night i had a bad dream. I had a black python and a really FAT anaconda in my house. I tripped and fell on the python and it almost killed me. Then the anaconda was really scary and it was on the ceiling. Just stupid. I hate snakes. They're idiots with no arms.

My dog was just barking at a really small puppy and it scared the bajeebies out of me. I dont make fun of my 70's lingo because it's cool and i know it. Today we got a drama slip that we can give to our parents and they My grandpa picked me up today. He gave us candy when he dropped us off because that's what Grandparents do.

Guess what? My mom said i could pick the menu for this week for dinner. It's going awesome:
Monday was Talapia.
Tuesday was Tacos.
Today is Pancakes and Waffles.
Thursday is Steak.
Friday is Godfather's Pizza with Monkey Bread!!!

Not Happy

Today we had to do something in school that i was not happy about. They wanted to see who we saw being mean to other people or who were mean to us so they had us put our heads down and they called out every single name from the 6th grade and if people thought they were a bully you had to raise your hand. My heart was beating so loud when my name was called. My stomach was nervous and i was just terrified. I wonder who voted for me. Once i learned we would be voting for people we thought were bullies i thought i was toast because i am not always the nicest person. I asked a bunch of people if they voted for me and they all said no which is good unless they're all liars. This time we are off the hook but when there is another "voting ceremony" in a couple weeks and you have more than 10 votes you will get a talking to. I will admit i voted for some people, but i will NOT repeat NOT turn my back on anyone openly on this blog. In other words im not telling. It's just not gonna happen. Period.

Well as you can tell my day was just Dandy! I have a Spanish project do tomorrow, then tomorrow i start on a new one. Thiw week has been going pretty good. Tomorrow is Fr!day!!! Good news. I went to my REGULAR golf course last night with Logan and Will and it was very fun.

Random Thoughts:
I have dreams so much that i can't remember 'em sometimes. They're usually pretty random.
I can make my left thumb touch my left wrist.
When i was a little kid, i had a huge crush on Britney Spears.
I loved game shows since i was a little kid when i watched The Price Is Right everyday. However, it will never be the same without Bob Barker.
I am extremely afraid of dying.
My sister Paige was born with 11 toes. They had to surgically remove one of her pinky toes, so now on one foot she has her first 4 toes and what i call #6. Im not kidding.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr is one of my heroes.

The Wedding

Last night, i went to a wedding. At the ceremony, i did awesome, especially because it was at a church i dont even go to. It's waaaaaay different there. My Uncle Jim asked why i had to do all the work. I served with Jared, and he did nothing. This why i'm happy Jared never reads this blog; he would lie and say i "volunteered" to do all the work. Liar. It was my cousin Jamie's wedding and it was awesome. Dinner was DELICIOUS because i had beef and bread and thinking about how good it was makes my mouth water. I danced because you know im awesome at that. I drank a lot of soda and ate almonds. The had like 5 different types of cake and of course i had vanilla/chocolate. I learned how to do the Electric Slide and again: awesome. It was a great night.

This week in school i had a science test, social studies test, Religion Quiz, and math quiz. I continue to only have 1 check. I've found a way to take all my books to the right class.

Well, gotta go.

What it feels like...

...to be disliked by an adult. Okay so i went golfing today at a different golf course than usual. The owner did not like me at all. And Logan, Will and Joe. First, we walked through some bushes which i will admit wasn't very smart, but he still shouldn't lash out at us. Then on the first hole Logan had 2 bad first shots so he shot again and those are called mulligans. He came out and yelled at us and said only to shoot once. "Don't make me come out here again!" Right now i was mad because we weren't doing anything wrong and we were just golfing and mulligans are allowed. Then later, Logan is way ahead of us so he starts putting and he yells over a loudspeaker not to putt until everyone was on the green. 4 words. Never. Golfing. There. Again.

I'm glad i didn't have a lot of homework tonight otherwise i wouldn't have to go. Besides him yelling 3 times, i had a good time. I continue to have only 1 check and i'm earl for almost every class. Jared has no checks yet and he brags to me about it. Whatever.

I got 100 on my math class today which was good to know. I'm pretty sure i did good on my Spanish test but im not sure. A person in my class named TJ came back today after breaking his foot. Ouch.

Dog People

Apparently, that's what everyone who views this and takes the poll is. I personally am also a dog person, but everyone? Wow. Well, it's Saturday. Partay!!! Last night i went with Will and Logan to a fun park which was fun. We played Hot Shot or something like that (Will won.) GoKarts(My car was jacked up because i was floring it but it still was going slow so i know it wasn't me. My dad said that's happened to him before.)Played games and got tickets. I got glow in the dark dice, fake money, army men, and a ninja guy (which i lost :() Then we went miniature golfing and i wasn't keeping score, but i got par on a couple. I also got a Slushie called Smurfberry which was blu raspberry and delicious but i got some on my Disney World Sweatshirt so im praying it can come out. Then we played SpaceBall (Logan won but i was having an awesome comeback)
Logan had a bloody nose and i felt bad for him. He was in the bathroom and walk in and see me in the mirror and im like, "That's disgusting!" He said, "I know." I said, "No, my teeth!" They were all blue from the Smurfberry Slushie. He started laughing. Finally, we played Lazer Tag and i won!!!!!! I had a strategy. I teamed up with Will to get Logan. Then, i teamed up with Logan to get Will. Then i'd be a traitor go for the other person. The thing is, they never got together to team up on me. I was always part of the teaming. Will got 2600-something points and i got 2700-something points. Logan said,"I got 2800!!!!" which would've beaten me. Then the lady said, "No, that's a 6, not an 8." Making me the winner!!!!

My Awesome Hat

Today i thought i'd blog about my cool hat. I got it about a year and a half ago and it is a winter hat. It's blue and green and has mooses on it. I love it. It's warm and fuzzy and sometimes i wear it when i get a haircut i dont like. I'm very picky about haircuts because i dont want to look dumb. Whenever i dont like my haircut, everyone tries to encourage me and say it's nice. I guess their supposed to do that because their not gonna go up to you say that i have a bad haircut. That would be just plain mean. I'd rather be lied to than that. Actually, their basically not lyin because my haircut usually looks fine but im just picky. I hope you understand this because i myself am having a hard time swallowing what im saying. Hmmm.

The polls:
I voted for butter. I've never had peanut butter and i dont plan on it. Butter on toast is delicious. Whoever agreed with me, thanks. Im not trying to diss the peanutbutter-lovers in any way im just stating my opinion. I didn't get a check in school today. Actually, i was early for every class. I think. I got a good grade on my spanish test. It was on the alphabet.

My neighbors have a really cool and big tree in their front yard. It's Hugemungus. I made up that word. I dont really know them. otherwise id ask if i could borrow it. Im just joking. I like to think irrationally sometimes. It can actually be very fun. Right now i here chirps of crickets and it's really annoying. Well that's it for today.

Have a great night! :)

My First Check (Sad Face)

As i told you, we have responsibility checks at our school and i got one today. I was late for class. What happened was i had some trouble getting my lock open, and then i finally did and got all my stuff and then accidentally dropped all my stuff so i had to pick it up and then the bell rang as i walked in to the room. I admit it was basically my fault because the teachers tell you to tell them if your having locker troubles and they le you off the hook to get your stuff because sometimes the locks don't always cooperate. I thought i would make it in time and contemplated telling the teachers but decided not to. Logan and Will were ripping on me for getting one and i told them im working on it.

On the plus side, i had a great day besides the check. My lunch was awesome and i dont have too much homework. Ha! iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Doesn't that look cool????? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ All those dots and lines. Actually, the dot above the "i" is called a tittle. Speaking of random facts, my social studies teacher always has random fact posted on the board. Todays:
Mosquitoes are attracted to people who just ate bananas.

This day is bananas: B-A-N-A-N-A--S. :) There are lot of other ones:
Gold Fish have an attention span of 3 seconds.
i had a gold fish once, but it died bcause i would grab it to make sure it was alive and i guess i did it too mcuh.

Too Much Excercise

My dog Kobe ran away today. The gate in the backyard was open. No one knows how, though. She went out, then i went out into the backyard and saw the gate open and Kobe was gone. She ran out and i was chasing after her when she went up to i guy who lives on my street who tried to give her to me but she ran again. Then, i went inside and told my mom and Jared ran and m and my mom got into the car. We spotted her and i got out and not being very fast didn't come in handy when i was chasing after her and i lost my mom. She went on a trail so i chased her and a woman on the trail told my mom when my mom asked her if she'd seen Kobe, "That poor little boy is trying to get his dog." All of this happened as i kept screaming Mom and as Kobe kept running. I thought i was gonna die of exhaustion. My mom picked me up and we saw Kobe go into another neighborhood where she laid down in some guy's sprinkler and later got tuckered out and got into the car. I was exhausted.

I hope your day is going well. Most everyone has the day off school/work et cetera et cetera tomorrow. Sleep in, eat out, going swimming if there are any local pools still open. Like i said, i dont think i have anything planned on the agenda tomorrow. Maybe do some homework. I'll actually probably get that done tonight, since pretty much EVERYONE i know is out of town.

Color Me Exhausted,

Yabomania.blogspot.com's ZachThoughts/Yabomania 100th post Shindig Extravaganza:The After Party

Time to party here on this breezy Saturday night here at Yabomania. Grilled Pizzas were on the menu tonight. Delicioso. Is that how you spell that? I dont know what im watching on TV right now but this guy is riding down a mountain on a bike and just wiped out. Okay then. Labor Day weekend is this week which means i get Monday off so i can watch Match Game on the Game Show Network and get to go outside and hang out. Awesome, right? I know. Apparently, Hurricane Gustav is quickly approaching and traffic is big, Says so on the news. What about the news anchors in that town. They would have to get replacements who would have to get replacements, et cetera et cetera. Or maybe all television would be cancelled.

Tonight my aunt and cousin are coming over to chill. that's it on the agenda for me. My cousin Josh sent me a Live strong band in the mail. So peace out to you compadre. I woke up at 7:35 this morning and I'm not tired at all. I actually am full of energy.

For desert, we had homemade doughnuts and they were awesome. That's it for today.

Yabomania.blogspot.com's Zach Thoughts/Yabomania 100th Post Shindig Extravaganza Party

It's been a hard day's night, i've been working like dog, It's been a hard days night, i should be sleeping like a log...

It's finally here Yabomania's !00th post Extravaganza!!! I would've done it sooner but last weekend i went camping, then i got jammed with homework and now im here. Thursday, August 28, 2008. It's been a long road and now we're here. We will talk about a couple things that have been said and done on this blog and my present life and anything that comes across my mind. Now, as you can see i wrote a song title like i use to. I will start doing that again since i got a recommendation.

So far this year in middle school i'm doing pretty good. I havn't gotten a responsibility check yet which is good. I need to get my locker organized, though. I have an EXTREMELY messy locker and everyone else's are awesome so i feel like slob. Actually, not really because im not an organizd person in general so this isn't a surprise i guess. There i a new girl in my class and guess what. She turned out to be my 3rd cousin which is so weird because she is also Eric's neighbor and it's just strange how small the world actually is. Anyway, her name is Katie and she is very nice and always call me "cuz". This weekend is Labor Day weekend and my family has NOTHING on the agenda so i don't know what im gonna. We got a new gym teacher to replace our old new gym teacher who i didn't even meet because she had to go back to her hometown. It may sound confusing but in reality it isn't so don't think about it.

I really dont know what i m gonna do this weekend though. I dont wanna just do nothing. I was gonna go see a baseball game in Chicago but then guess what those plans got cancelled. Today in school i dont have a lot of homework which is really awesome. Im hungry but 1. i dont know what to eat 2. dinner is pretty soon and 3. im not allowed to eat on the laptop or drink because it was beverage that destroyed our first laptop. Yes, im still holding a grudge Jared. He isn't getting paid for babysitting because of his actions.

So i've been watching the Olympics on Tv and daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang those people are so good at everything. It makes me feel like a weak little boy which is probably the truth but in my head im strong and cool :)

Well i might as well take this time to tell you about the really creepy bugs in our backyard. They're big and yellow and black and are called locus killers because they kill locuses and feed them to their babies which puts a really nasty picture in my head.

Ok thats it for now. Goodbye and keep enjoying my awsomeness.

99th

Today was my first full day of middle school and it's hard! I have trouble rememebering what to bring to each class. I only forgot my spanish dictionary for Spanish but that's it. For math, we had to bring our math textbook home and the literature and math look EXACTLY alike so i accidently took home Literature. I called David and he came over with his mathbook and i finished. I would like to think that im pretty good at using my resources and hey, gotta use your talents. He stayed a little bit longer afterwards. I keep permission slips in my locker than forget them in my locker and the one we got today is due EXACTLY tomorrow so im scared about forgetting it. All teachers are pretty cool and my social studies teacher really understands us and knows what we're going through. I appreciate that.

My brother asked me why i kept lock locked on my locker and i said i thought i was supposed to. Today we found out that if we leave it open and get caught teachers will dump our lockers. Hope that doesn't happen to you Jared! Speaking of Jared, our new Gym teacher looks exactly like him. It's strange. I'm starting to learn the spanish alphabet and need to remember to bring it tomorrow. In one class, before we leave we need to have our chairs pushed in and cant leave until our teacher says, "Have a great day. Best to you on all your challenges."

Again about the Literature/Math mixup, my parents claim it's about me talking to much. Again, gotta use your talents...I need to shut up.

Zach

First Day/98th Post

Yes today was my first day of school if u didn't know that already. Today we went through our first four periods of the regular school day and tomorrow we will go through the last four periods. From what the Schedule says, this will be an average day:
Homeroom
1st period-Math
2nd Period- Social Studies
3rd Period- Spanish
4th Period- English
5th Period- Literature
Lunch (i think)
6th Period-Science
7th Period- Special
8th Period- Religion
Homeroom/Dismissal

Our classes are 42 minutes long and then we have 3 minutes to go to our lockers and get ready for the next class. Math and Social Studies classrooms are right next to each other so the teachers for those classes recommend we bring all of our stuff so we don't have to go to our lockers which saves a lot of time especially since we are rushing to find what we may and may not need for class. Some teachers gave us a list. Logan's older sister Lauren says it get easier. There are 3 homerooms that split up into 2 classes during the day.

Overall, i think its gonna be a good year

Open House is Calling My Name

Yes, it's tomorrow. We start Tuesday. I dedicated a whole entry to why summer is going by so fast and look. It proved to be right. Middle School. Lockers. Small People Who Can Fit In Lockers. Not Good.

This weekend i didn't do much. I might've but i dont remember what i did yesterday so im trying to figure out...I remember (my dad just told me). We went to My aunt Julie's 50th birthday party. Fun.

Gotta go sharpen my pencils for Tuesday...be right back

All done. Guess what. I get to learn Spanish this year. Im kinda looking forward to being bilingual. I need to spell check that. Off by one letter. Not much to say tonight. New Poll.

Zach

Last Fr!day

Before i go back to school. I know, it's very strange how Summer Zooooooooooooooooooooms by. But, i am looking forward to talking about Florida:
Person: What did you do this Summer?
Me: Oh, you know, the usual. Swam in the Gulf, went to Disney World. No Big Deal. (By now, Sarcasm is dripping from my mouth)

My cousin Josh, a faithful YaboMania reader, starts the 25th. Aren't College people suppose to start school before younger people? Yeah, i thought so too. I start the 19th. Next weekend, will YaboMania-less because every year with my mom's side of the family we go down to some place about half-hour away from where i live and they have cabins and everyone stays the for the whole weekend. So Friday, after school we pack up and leave and stay. It's soooooo much fun because they have horse-back riding, golfing, paddle-boating and i love doing it every year.

Now, back to school. I always look forward to it, but about halfway into school, i want Summer (probably because its usually in the middle of winter and im tired of the cold!)

The Mole-Season Finale

Well im wrong of course. My Predictions:
Mark-Winner
Nicole-Mole
Craig-Runner-up

Turnout:
Mark-Winner
Nicole-Runner-up
Craig-Mole

Nicole was putting attention on herself so people would think its her and she could figure out
Mark was tied and almost was "executed" three times but ended up winning.
Craig sabotaged by making it look like he was trying hard but he wasn't.

I just really had a feeling that it was Nicole and it wasn't. But i knew Mark would win cuz he seemed smart. Craig just wasn't plain believable as a mole to me. Anyway, the mole is possibly facing cancellation which would TOTALLY stink. My favorite show my be taken off air. Then, when im in the mood to watch ill have to go to Wikipedia and read the recaps. Hopefully, that will satisfy me.

Save The Mole!!!

Florida...A Place of Wonders

Yes, its true. I'm back. I went to Florida and stayed in a house with a pool and hottub that was screened in and it was awesome. Logan, whose dad is friends with my dad, has an uncle who owns the place. We went on vacation with him and his familyand another family. Now, i'll tell you what i did each day:

Saturday:
Got their at 9 0'clock and went out for dinner.
Swam until Late night.

Sunday:
Went boating in the Gulf of Mexico. There were some nude people which was disgusting because i'm a KID!!!!! So to all those people: How Dare You.
Saw some stingrays and found some sea shells and me and logan supposedly got stung by fallen off tenticles of a JellyFish.
Swam in the pool

Monday:
Swam in the Gulf at a beach. Loved the waves, hated the salt. Had some awesome ice cream.
Swam a lot in the pool. We usually went out for dinner but this time we ate hamburgers.

Tuesday: Went to Disney World where all my dreams came true!!! We went on Space Mountain, Splash Mountain (my two favorites), Haunted Mansion (Style Points), Ate at an awesome restaurant, Saw a 3-D Mickey movie (Pleasantly surprisingly awesome), a Stitch thing (not very good), Buzz Lightyear (AWESOME!!!!!!!), Space Mountain (again), It rained so we ate somewhat of a dinner and shopped (i got a sweatshirt that was too big for me so i can have it for years), wanted to see the parade but didn't do to lightning. The best day of my life.

Wednesday:
Sea World!!!!!!! We went on the Krakken 4 times and Journey to Atlantis once. We would've done it more than once if it weren't for the lines. We saw Shamu which was AMAZING. We were in the Soak Zone where we did get soaked by the cool killer whales. We also saw a pretty cool dolphin show, ate some lunch and petted StingRays. We also saw Manatees, which we were all looking forward to since we were staying on Manatee River and hadn't seen one. They were cool.
Finally, we went on a ride called Arctic Wild where you gone on a pretend helicopter that actually shakes when you should shake according to the screen at the end of the ride we saw how they lived and Polar Bears and Walruses (i think) and arctic ice. Very fun day.

Thursday:
We went to Busch Gardens and went on the Montu (Montooth), Sheikra (Shakira), and one more awesome ride and a bad ride that made me feel as though i was going to upchuck.

Fr!day:
Went to the beach and had a great time playing beach volleyball. Got a souvenir that was a sign that said, "Welcome to our little Oasis" Ima hang it on my door. Cleaned up.

Saturday:
Did some final cleaning and sadly left Florida. Came home and watched TV cause i was too tired to do anything else.

Now im here.

Color Me Gone,
