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.

Color me gone,
Zach

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.

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.

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,

Florida...A Place of

Prepare Yourself

For a whole week without YaboMania. I don't know you guys are gonna muddle through but you're gonna have to stay strong. So last night, i laid all my clothes out and i volunteered to wrap Paige's birthday presents (We're celebrating it early since it's during our vaca') Saturday is gonna be a long day!!!Our flight is at like 12:00 something, near lunch time. Then one hour and fifteen minutes later we arrive at another airport. We will be there for a while (Roll eyes) so we eat there. Then we are on a plane for a looooooong time which will be a nightmare for me because i will be up in the sky. Then we arrive. Then we have to get a rental car. Then we have to drive 45 minutes to get to the house we are staying at. I will be so tired and then i'll wake up like a spring chicken.

I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Well, Manny Ramirez has been traded to the Dodgers and the RedSox got Jason Bay from the Pirates. David Ortiz is not gonna be a happy camper for the rest of the year. But, he'll get all angry and beat the snot out of the ball. Or. he'll have a bad streak. Who knows.

Well, goodbye for the next 8 days. :(
