My Final Post of 2009

Well, you crazy Yabo-Maniacs, my time year, blogging wise, is over. This will be my final 2009 post. This year, I'd like to have a 2009 Year in Review. I will be blogging about my feelings of what happened in the news this year:

Chris Brown, Kanye West, and Tiger Woods have lost any ounce of respect that they ever had from me. I said it.

Celebrities have passed:

  • Natasha Richardson, the mother from "The Parent Trap"
  • Michael Jackson, the King of Pop
  • Billy Mays, The only person I've ever known to yell when they're happy
  • Farrah Fawcett, Charlie's Favorite Angel
  • Brittany Murphy, That one actress that seemed likable.
And so many more. Just think, millions of lives could be saved. Just call now, and adopt one these fragile celebrities. You, yes you, can save a life. (This is me turning celebrities into those puppies from those Humane Society commercials)

We have our first black President in office *Applause* I know everyone who reads this blog HATES him, so I'll leave it at that. By the way, I'm a Democrat.

Health care reform. Blah Blah Blah.

It's been a HUGE year for social networking. Twitter. Facebook.

Jim and Pam got married on The Office.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 are losers.

David Letterman still has my respect. I don't know why.

Wow. Now that I think about it, this year wasn't that exciting. Hmmm.

Well gotta go. Sorry for making such a lame year in review. I thought I might've had more to say. Sorry/// Well, I'm wishing you all a fantastic New Year. Please stay healthy and hearty.

Color Me Gone for one final time in oh-nine,

Day 29 and Day 30: A great Christmas so far, and by the way......I GOT A SHIRT WITH MY FACE ON IT!

Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas come this way
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas, Christmas day

Welcome, welcome fahoo ramus
Welcome, welcome dahoo damus
Christmas day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp

Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome Christmas bring your cheer
Fahoo fores dahoo dores
Welcome all Whos far and near


It's been a fantastic Christmas so far! Last night was fun! I love the gift exchange and when Jef- I mean Santa, comes to visit! However, I didn't feel the greatest. My stomach didn't hurt, but it felt a little queazy and my mother was begging for the fire to be on, which I didn't want or need. I got home, tested out a ShamWOW (It's kinda bogus.) Watched Chelsea Lately and headed off to DreamLand. I had trouble getting to sleep! I didn't fall asleep till about midnight and was quickly woken up by Paige at 7:10. "Zach we can open our presents now." Um, NO. Presents are nice, but every time I open presents I feel bad because now I have to wait a whole another year until I get to do it again. I try to savor every moment. So I replied, "5 more minutes" and proceeded to slam my face back into my pillow. 5 minutes later, I'm being told that yes, it has been 5 minutes. I get up, and go downstairs with the rest of my family. We had to wait for mom though because she had to let Kobe out through the front door since the back door was frozen shut and the snow was up to our waists. Mom leaving meant more time to spare! She did, however, return and we opened our presents. I have to say, my presents were pretty sweet!!!! I got a new knit cap, pants, a Pittsburgh Pirates Christmas ornament, iTunes, A "The Office" calendar for my room, candy, $10 gift card to Targetto. Also.............an iHome!!!!! A lamp for me to read in my room at night!!!!! A picture of my Memaw for my room!!! A hunting game for the Wii!! And a bedside table. Now, I have to admit, the bedside table is a funny story. In 4th grade, I got a stuff animal that I became obsessed with. It was like a little puffin, a relative of the penguin. My mom had recently purchased a coffee maker, and I took the box to make a home for my stuffed animal. Over the next 3 years, the box became a little table for me to rest my cups, books, etc on. It irked my mom, but I found the box useful. Now, FINALLY, I have a table to set all my things on!!! Yayyyy!!!!! However, I must never forget that box that got me through over the years. I have placed in the basement, and labeled it, "Zach's Box."

And. Finally. Another story about another gift. Last night at the gift exchange, I picked a box that I was hoping had an entertaining shirt in it. It did! It had a shirt with my face (which I didn't even recognize!!!!!!) and the name of my blog on it. I was ecstatic to have been lucky enough to receive that shirt. Then, right out of the blue, my Uncle Al stole it from me. I was downcast. I then received a cocktail book. Thanks for taking that off my shoulders, Sarah. And then I got a dashboard thing for my car. I don't have a car. We'll keep that one in the basement for a few years....I went home and while I was in bed, I started putting two and two together. Why had Al stolen it from me? Why had my mother not let me steal it back? Hmmmmm. This morning, I got the pleasant surprise I was hoping for. Signed from Uncle Al, I got the shirt in a perfect size. The two other shirts from the exchange had problems, and I was getting the perfect shirt in the morning. So, now, I want to thank Mom and Uncle Al, for concocting this plan for me. The shirt is amazing.

Merry Christmas to one and all! It's been a great 30 days.....even if I skipped a few times!!!! Can't wait till next year!

Day 27 and 28: A(nother) Blizzard is Coming.

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

I am mad. A blizzard is coming and is allegedly going to ruin my Christmas. If my Christmas is ruined by snow, I will be a very unpleasant blogger. I can assure you. And another thing. Yes, we already had 3 snow days, but the one day there's an ice storm we don't get another snow day. Cuz we have break. hahah.

And may I remind you this isn't the first "blizzard" we've had this December? Why do we need another one? Why you gotta be like that, Mother Earth?

Now, there is something I want to talk about. Jared and I both have very different tastes in music. Recently, Jared has became obsessed with this band called, "All Time Low." I think they are just alright, better than some bands he listens to. And, now, finally, All Time Low has given me and Jared the opportunity to agree on a song. It's called "Remembering Sunday," and I just finished playing it for the 3rd or 4th time on YouTube. It's a great song, I'm not gonna lie. And, since Jared doesn't read this blog, he'll never know that I admitted defeat!

Day 26: America, Shut Your Face

Here we come a-caroling
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a wand'ring,
So fair to be seen.


So, America has angered me with their reactions to last night's winner of Survivor, Natalie White. I know that most of my readers don't tune into Survivor, so here's what you need to know. Russell Hantz, from day one, has been a complete jerk. He has manipulated the game, broken promises, and overall been a complete loser. Natalie has ridden on his back the entire time, sneaking her way through, while Russell made despicable moves. Last night, the jury voted for Natalie to win the game, a million dollars, and the title of Sole Survivor. Americans are displeased. Some state that Russell played the game incredibly and made big moves that often changed the game and that he deserved to win the game. I beg to differ.

Natalie played the game wisely. She stayed silent while Russell made the big moves that cost him the game. What Russell didn't realize is that Survivor is a social game. You can NOT go around, shoot off your big mouth, have an arrogant attitude, and over-sized ego, and expect to win this game. Natalie hooked on with the jerk-of-a-leader, played a good social game, and got people to like her. Russell was just a jerk, who manipulated the game, which eventually cost him the game. Natalie deserved the win, and I'm glad she got it.

PS Who guessed number 10?????????

Day 24: This post has two titles: About to Lose It and Who Guessed It?

All I want for Christmasis my two front teeth,my two front teeth,see my two front teeth!


About to Lose It

You know that one actress, Brittany Murphy, the one who was the girl Penguin in Happy Feet? Well, apparently she has died of Cardiac Arrest at age 32. Her death has killed my happy day. :( Cardiac Arrest is the same cause of death of Michael Jackson. There is a lot going on. Death: Natural causes? Cardiac arrest? What? Her husband is refusing an autopsy. What is he hiding? I can't help but think the worst. It's weird. She has allegations of plastic surgery and drugs in the past, but she has came out and said that its all FALSE. I've said it before, I'll say it again. WikiPedia, the Free Encyclopedia, is an abundant amount of information. Just call me Ryan Seacrest. No, actually don't. Don't call me Ryan Seacrest.

Who Guessed It?

Who guessed the number "10" correctly. It's been 10 this whole time. Leave an honest comment now, or forever hold your peace. If you lie, I will find out, and you won't get a gift.

Day 23 and 24: Planets and Aliens

I'm Mister White Christmas
I'm Mister Snow
I'm Mister Icicle
I'm Mister Ten Below
Friends call me Snow Miser,
What ever I touch
Turns to snow in my clutch
I'm too much!

Today, I thought we'd talk about aliens. Recently, we talked about Earth, moon, and sun in Science class. Next chapter we will continue talking about our solar system. Ever since 10 minutes ago, I have been extremely fascinated with the planets. Particularly Mercury and Neptune. And also, Uranus! Hahaha, I hope Joe is reading this. haha.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, which I find extremely scary. What if the Sun decides that he/she wants to move a little closer. Good luck with everything, Mercury.

Neptune is all by him/herself at the end, now that that minority of a planet Pluto is out of the picture. If the sun goes on a major rampage, Neptune will be the last official planet knocked out of the solar system. Unless, of course, the sun goes in different directions instead of a straight line. Then, it would fair game for everyone.

Now I would like to discuss aliens. Nay. Extra terrestrials. I don't believe in them. There are a few planets named "Terrestrial planets," meaning they have similarities to planet Earth. Same rock and stuff. Well, if there are living beings of the 4th kind living on other planets, how come they aren't smart enough to, I don't know, build space probes, and space stations, and other space buildings and launch them into space. Only people from planet Earth have done that. And I find it hard to believe that even if there are extra terrestrials, they cannot find a way to do something that we have been doing for over 50 years. Wow. I'm pretty good at this Scientology stuff. Thank you for reading my intellectualocity.

By the way, no one didn't get the poll right.......Again.........

Day 19: Clarification

Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
It's the best time of the year
I don't know if there'll be snow
but have a cup of cheer
Have a holly, jolly Christmas;
And when you walk down the street
Say Hello to friends you know
and everyone you meet.

I would like to make a clarification regarding my the title of my previous post. The phrase, "gato es fea" is a common phrase used by one of my classmates, that he made up while we were playing a Spanish game. It has no reference to any human, just a simple statement proclaiming that the feline is unattractive. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The play went AMAZING! And so did today's performance. Everyone memorized their lines and sang their songs beautifully. Congratulations, to all!!!!!!!!

Gato es fea is spanish. It translates to Cat is an ugly girl. Lol. Sorry. I'm a little nervous. Tonight is the quote big night end quote.

Day 11: Wearing Your Pajamas Inside Out

O Christmas Tree,O Christmas Tree,How steadfast areyour branches!Your boughs are greenin summer's climeAnd through the snowsof wintertime.O Christmas Tree,O Christmas Tree,How steadfast areyour branches!

A lot of people may think that I'm too old to be wearing my pajamas inside out, but I've been through this much school, and rode all that way tonight on the interstate, I am MULLING for a snow day. Yes, this week is huge for rehearsals, but I need a day off. I NEED it. I hate school. I hate math class. I hate it. Math is so stupid. The only reason I go there is because all of my friends are at school. And there are certain classes that I do enjoy. But math needs to go. Especially due to the the fact that what we're learning is completely pointless and I will never use this outside of school. Never. Therefore, I feel completely obligated to wear my pajamas inside out.

Well, I saw everyone tonight for Jared and Kelsey's celebration. The cake was good, the football game was nice. Pretty cool hangout.

I am still mad about the Texas-Nebraska game, so I will rant. That one old man fat referee does NOT, I repeat, does NOT like Nebraska. He hates them. And he was happy to call that last second. I. Hate. Texas. Mk?

Day 10: Tiger Woods Picks His Nose And Eats It

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,But the fire is so delightful,And since we've no place to go,Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.



Is there anyone else completely annoyed with this guy? I mean seriously, he's one of those guys who you never expected to do something like that. But I'm still confused about a couple of things:

  • Why was he leaving his house that late at night?
  • Why did the affair accusations come up after the car accident, what does that have to do with anything they were talking about?

These are the questions that haunt me.

Well the Nebraska Huskers ruined my entire weekend. I hate referees. I don't care who reads this. Referees HATE the Nebraska Huskers. Every single one of them. And like every other bandwagon American, they love the Texas Longhorns. Now I am in a bad mood. Sorry, everybody-don't blame me, blame the Huskers.

Well, I am home alone at present, and I am blasting music. I just watched an intense music video! The song is called Happy by Leona Lewis, and its all about wanting to be happy, whatever. The music video shows the singer in love, and well, happy. Then, she's at her wedding. The preacher pronounces the man and wife. Then, it is revealed that all along, she has been imagining herself as a happy person in love, when really, her best friend is living this fantasy. What....a buzzkill.

Day 6: A Change of Heart....Sort Of

Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal

Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day

Happy Taco Tuesday! Well, I am may regret telling you this but....I've had a change of heart.

I am now no longer against naps. Yes, I know. Your shocked. But before you hyperventilate, I must tell you this: I still hate naps more than anything in the whole world. What I enjoy are accidental naps. It's pretty self-explanatory. A nap is when you purposely fall asleep in order to get rest because you are tired. An Accidental Nap is where you accidentally fall asleep, but its still good because you are tired and need rest. The reason I hate naps so much is because I can never EVER fall asleep purposely during the day. However, if I am laying on my couch and turn on my side just to rest my eyes, and I end up falling asleep, that is an accidental nap. And I love them. Its a complete accident! So, now. I am officially a fan of Accidental Naps! Whoo hoo!

I have a headache, so I'm gonna go get a caffeinated soda drink. I don't know why, but that always seems to help.

Day 3: The Blind Side-Movie Review

Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero Ano y Felicidad.

iHola! This is my very first movie review. My movie reviews have two sections: Plot and Performances. I will take in to account the plot of the movie (without the "Spoiler Alert" since SOMEBODY, not mentioning names, Chase, hates it.) Then I will use Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, for specific names for specific actors, and write about their performances. So now, please enjoy my very first movie review!

Plot:

The Blind Side. A blind side is an offensive football strategy has evolved over the past three decades in large part due to Lawrence Taylor's arrival in the 1980s and how this evolution has placed an increased importance on the role of the left tackle. Left tackle-the position Michael Oher played at the University of Missouri. That explains the title. However, the movie dives into more than just football. The Blind Side, based on Carl Lewis' novel, "The Blind Side: The Evolution of the Game," which is based on real life, follows the journey of Michael Oher and the Tuohy family. After seeing him walking alone on a cold, rainy night, Leigh Anne Tuohy, despite her husband's hesitation, takes in Oher and lets him sleep in their home for the night. After he spends a few days with the Tuohy's, Leigh Anne realizes that Michael has nowhere to go. They drive down to his home, known as "Hurt Village," an obviously dangerous environment for Michael to be living in. The Tuohy's finally decide that it would only be right if they adopt Michael and make him part of their family, and it all evolves from there.

The Blind Side is a truly inspiring real-life story of the Tuohy's adopting a boy in need. The screenplay, adapted by John Lee Hancock (also the director,) is believable, as it should be. Great job, Mr. Hancock.

3 1/2 out of 4

Performances:
Great performances all around.

Sandra Bullock as Leigh Anne Tuohy- I'm a big fan of Sandra Bullock. On my Facebook profile, three of her movies- Miss Congeniality, The Proposal, and The Blind Side- are all of my favorites. This is, by far, her best performance. Bullock has taken a turn to dramatic side of acting more than once (i.e. Crash, Premonition,) but this is the first time I think she will get individual honors for her performance. Bullock's performance is honest and this movie has given Bullock the chance to prove herself as a dramatic actress.

Tim McGraw as Sean Tuohy- Tim McGraw's performance was just ALMOST as good. McGraw was always there for comedic relief, but in a scene he shares with his new adoptive son Michael, McGraw's true acting talents are shown. And in a kissing scene with Sandra Bullock, I have no doubt in my mind that Faith Hill got her Granny Panties in a bunch. I'm just saying.

Kathy Bates as Miss Sue- Michael's tutor. HILARIOUS! Oscar Winner Bates again proves that she has acting chops to handle any role, big or small.

Quinton Aaron as Michael Oher- Not bad for Aaron's very first movie. Aaron stands at 6'10" and is beastly. He does fantastic as a gentle giant whose had a very rough life.

Lily Collins as Collins Tuohy- The Tuohy's only daughter. A small part. Her character struggles to cope with the attention she gets having a new, adoptive brother, let alone an African-American one.

Ray McKinnon as Coach Cotton- Part-time Football coach, full-time Buzz-Kill. At first, you see Coach as more than a coach, as a man who wants the best for the homeless boy with a sad predicament. As the movie progresses, you see a more selfish side of Coach, and wonder if he only wanted Michael for his football team after all. A believable performance.

Kim Dickens as Mrs. Boswell- Mrs. Boswell is one of the many teachers who doesn't want Michael in their school. After being convinced by Coach Cotton, Mrs. Boswell and the rest give in. Boswell is one of the few teachers who realizes Michael is more than meets the eye, and she helps him through school. Kim Dickens makes the most of her small role. Good acting.

Adriane Lenox as Denise Oher- Michael's crackhead mother. Lenox's portrayal is fantastic, even if her only scene was 5 minutes long. She portrays a woman who regrets making mistakes, and wishes the best for her children, even if she can't provide it for him.

Jae Head as SJ Tuohy- Arguably the funniest character in the movie.

Great performances all around in this movie. Definitely one of my favorites! And, you can check, I did this review by myself, I did NOT get it from any other website. Believe it. The only thing I got was one sentence from WikiPedia. It has the highlited words.

Day 2: Thanksgiving Was Too Much For Me

Sleigh bells ringare you listeningin the lanesnow is glistening A beautiful sightwe're happy tonightwalking in a winter wonderland Gone away is the bluebirdhere to stay is a new bird He sings a love songas we go alongwalking in a winter wonderland

Sorry for the late night post. My computer wasn't cooperating, and I spent the day at Uncle "Brother" Dave's house in Logan, Iowa.

He had the family over to watch the game, and of course everyone wanted to hold his baby, little Joe. I'm not gonna lie, I like the baby MUCH better without the spit-up or the Cradle Cap. Ehhhh. Anyway, Huskers won, even though they let another touchdown get by with 2 SECONDS LEFT. During halftime, we rode on Dave's 4-wheeler and Polaris Offroader Ranger Wrangler Thing. It was very entertaining and it was a nice day in Logan, by the way.

Oh Thanksgiving. You've exhausted me. Seriously, I'm really tired. I can't help but think about sleep as I type. At present, I'm watching a Letterman rerun with Bill Murray. He's wearing a Shakespeare costume and is rambling, like any good comedian. This interview really does prove that people get less and less funny with age. Sorry.

YaboMania's 2nd Annual 30 Days of Christmas: Day 1: Patience is a Virtue

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, fa la la, la la la.

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la

I know how excited everyone is! I know I am. Christmas is by far the best time of the year. Haha. I'm gonna be a terrible Scrooge since I love Christmas so much! Anyway, regarding the title of my post, I received a few complaints about not having the post up yet. Of course I'm gonna post, readers. Just be patient. As they say, Patience is a virtue. That's a common phrase is my household, heehee. Well, the first day of 30 Days of Christmas conveniently marks the day of Giving Thanks, or "Thanksgiving."

And let me tell you my Thanksgiving was fantastic. As always. First, we stopped at Grandma's house for a decent lunch. Turkey. Jello. Kilaches. Bread Rolls. Vegetables. Success. Brief resting stop at the house, then off to the Klosty's! Always good. Turkey. Vegetable. MUFFIN'Z! BREDD! Haha. There was also this thing that neither I or a cousin could identify, but it had cinnamon, so we assumed it was apple, and I tried some of it. It wasn't apple. It was pineapple. I do NOT like pineapple. Never had since Kindergarten. Wayyyy to sweet and mushy for my liking. I was caught off guard by the dish, and I didn't go back. I also debated this bowl of what looked like large, light red raisins. I truth or dared my sister to eat one, she didn't. Turns out that they were good smelling things. Good choice, Paige. The only negative part about the day's occasion was the rushed prayer by my own mother. Its Thanksgiving! At least state your thankfulness....for stuff! Oh well. Better luck next Thanksgiving, haha.

Well Color Me Gone on the first night of YaboMania's 30 days of Christmas!! 29 more to go!

The True Definition of "Growing Out of It"

Wellll. Today was productive. Its FRIDAY! My family and I feasted upon La Mesa. It was delicious. When I got home, my mother brought up the idea of cleaning out the cabinets. We encountered many old favorites (and by that I mean, classics that I enjoyed that my mother wanted to get rid of) I decided that tonight would be a good night for a movie marathon!!!!! I started with Barney Bus Adventure Whatever Who Cares. I learned a lesson today: Your always too old for Barney. Its cheesy, annoying, and the songs suck. Now, I am watching a Power Ranger marathon!!!! In order:
  1. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers-Day of the Dumpster
  2. MMPR-High Five
  3. MMPR-Food Fight
  4. MMPR-Happy Birthday, Zack
  5. MMPR-Bloom of Doom
  6. MMPR-Classic Ranger Edition: Pink Ranger Adventure
  7. MMPR-The Movie

Well, this should be a fun, interesting night, considering the motto is "Too hot to handle" Hah.

So last year, I had my first annual "30 Days of Christmas" Will it return this year?? YOU KNOW IT! Starting November 26, check in everyday at YaboMania to read my daily posts, in honor of Christmas-The best time of year. That being said, I won't be posting again until next Thursday-Thanksgiving~~~!!!@@@###$$$%%%^^^&&&***((()))

Giving Up, Cold Turkey (Kind Of)

Actually, cold turkey sounds kind of delicious right now. However, I am trying, I guess, to not drink so much soda. Its not healthy guys. But its so gosh dang yummy! So, its not necessarily cold turkey, but that is a fantastic expression!

Well, I guess its time I tell those who don't know. Our class is doing a school play by the name of "Bah, Humbug: Scrooge's Christmas Carol." We have been working on the play for over a month now. And, I have the part of Ebenezer Scrooge. I'm very excited!

Anyway, I just opened up a can of grape soda and I plan on enjoying it. I'm gonna brush my teeth though to get scrub away the sugar fibers(Sugar fibers??) off my teeth. When not drinking soda, a good substitute is ice cold water and Powerade, which only has 14 sugar fibers. Now I am enjoying Pringles with my grape soda. Yup, this is my way of eating healthily. Please, I implore you, follow me through my journey as I try to lead a more healthy lifestyle. (Ha ha ha, I almost said healthstyle.)

Well, my lips are dry and my nose is dripping. I'm out!

What...A Disappointment (i.e. Chase!)

Chase! C'mon! He was here all weekend and didn't get the opportunity to blog! What a fantastic guest writer.

Zach: You gonna guess blog this weekend, Chase?
Chase: I don't know. Depends if I have something to say.

Chase always has something to say! Sigh. Maybe next time. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I want some Turkey! And some Blueberry muffins from Aunt Lori! I watched "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas" today. Good movie! I'll tell ya what isn't a good movie: 2012. It was totally unnecessary. Luckily, I've done my research (Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and I'm totally unconvinced. Our Earth aligning with a black hole or whatever? Yeah right. Mayans? The Mayans were a bunch of nut jobs who sacrificed each other. What kind of game is that? Now, I would hate to offend any person of the Mayan persuasion who reads this blog, but, with all due respect, your ancestors are insane. Why would they do that?

Let's think realistically here; how could it be that these Mayans have magical powers and they can predict when our world ends? Is "That's So Raven" a Mayan? Didn't think so. And again, black hole, alignment, whatever. When you give me a reasonable explanation better than Wikipedia about how this lovely world of ours will meet its demise, please, I implore you, tell me. It won't happen. Wanna know why? Cuz nothing's better than Wikipedia.

I'd like to thank Jared and Chase for warning me about this movie's high stupidity level.

Doritos

I love Doritos. They are extremely delicious. They deserve their own post. Besides SnoCone'z, I don't think any food has gotten an entire blog post dedicated to them. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

When I was younger, all I knew about were the cheesy Doritos. But, now I'm being introduced to so many new options! Cool Ranch rocks my socks! My father and I enjoy Buffalo Blazin'. Even tonight, I tried Spicy Nacho, and immediately fell in love. How could one type of chip have so many flavors that all appeal to me for their different tastes? It seems impossible. I still have to try, like, those Late night Jalapeno ones. Those, sounds delicious! I have always been a big fan of chips, in general. Pringles. Lays. DORITOS. All of them. Yumm. Speaking of chips, a food that reminds me of chips are Corn Nuts. Lord. Corn Nuts are the BEST!I like them, I like them a lot. They taste like Fritos and make your breath smell terrible. But who cares? They are too enjoyable to care.

Anyway, the Doritos brings us to a brand new poll. What is favorite flavor of Doritos? I look forward to many diverse answers!

Chase's parents are taking a long weekend and heading off to San Diego for their anniversary, so Chase will be with us from Thursday afternoon to Tuesday morning. I have a guest blogger, in the house, I plan on letting him post. So look forward to that.

I'm Tired

Yeah, I'm pretty much exhausted. I went to a football game last night and today, since it was so nice out, I went golfing. I was VERY rusty. I haven't been out since August, so it felt pretty darn good. At present, I am watching the Nebraska-Oklahoma game. 3:46 in the first quarter. Zero'z. The referee looks like a chicken. Just an observation.

Mr. Pelini is pacing. He's getting nervous. I don't think Nebraska is playing that bad! Haha, I love when the camera turns to the crowd, and all you can see is faces and redness. 2nd quarter~13:41~no score. OH SNAP!!!!!!!!! TOUCHDOWN~HUSKERS! JUST SAW ALL THE RED BALLOONS FLY UP IN THE AIR!!!! We now have a score!

My apologies for such a short post, but I am tired and would like to relax. Chase is staying with us from the 12 through 15, so expect a post from him next weekend.

My Love for Horror Movies

As my faithful blog readers know, when I saw the movie Saw IV, I felt "possessed" and freaked out. Now, I officially have turned a leaf. I love horror movies. As of right now, I am watching "Prom Night" Its not very "scary," but it is a suspense with some jumpy moments and it is slightly disturbing in some parts.

I really want to watch the originals, though. The original Halloween~The original Friday the 13th. By the way, the maid just got killed. Anyways, some original horror movies, the ones that gave horror films their start in pop culture, would be great to view. Yet I haven't gotten the opportunity.

'Tis the season for the flu! I have a cold, but I think by tomorrow it will be almost gone. Just get some Vitamin C into my system and I'll be good. Another girl dead in Prom Night. Well, its time to do my homework. Have a great week!

Daylight Savings Time...Lord, Take Me Now

Today is one of my three least favorite moments of the year. Daylight Savings Time. The other two are Daylight Savings Time (Begins) and mid-July, because that's usually when I have a dentist appointment. I woke up at 8:48 this morning, but no, it had to be 7:48. People are stupid. They say, "You get an extra hour of sleep!" Not me! I'm soooooo used to waking up at my regular time, so now I wake up too early! I don't get the point. Why must we change our clocks every twice a year when it doesn't do us any good at all. It doesn't make sense, and I don't care if any snooty scientist tells me otherwise. Now I'm getting confused about losing an extra hour. So does that mean there are 23 hours in the day, and its gonna get dark at like 4 o'clock? This is stupid.



Recently, I watched a great movie called, "The Proposal." It, was amazing. As I sat on my living room chair, I was praying that it wouldn't be a chick flick. My brother and mother had seen it, and they had both loved it. However, my mom loves every movie, except Peter Pan (I mean, who doesn't love Peter Pan?) But Jared gave me a shock when he told me he liked it, so I believed I could watch it without being scared of it being a lame chick flick. It was hilarious. A lot of parts made me laugh. My favorite character was Betty White. I am very familiar with Betty White, because I frequently watch Match Game reruns from the 70's on The Game Show Network. My dad finds her very annoying. He thinks she's a, and I quote, "Bozo", "Airhead", and "Dummy." I think she's hilarious! And she helped make The Proposal a great movie!

Halloween Ends in 1 hour and 2 minutes.

I guess this is another......



LATE NIGHT POST!!!!



Its 10:58 and I'm watching Saturday Night Live (rerun) It is now 10:59. Whoopsie its 11:00 now. Tonight I had a party to go to. It was very funn. Yes, that's two N's. Deal with it. I have a cold sore on my tongue. My mom took the liberty of telling me how much cold sores on the side of your mouth suck so much. Grrrreaaaaaaaaaaaat.



Well my Halloween is over. Can't wait till Thanksgiving! Food! Good! Then on December 5, I will start with my Christmas decorations. My favorite time of the year, and a great time for blogging.



Last night I watched The Proposal, expecting it to be a chick flick. But thankfully it wasn't! It was hilarious! I laughed hard. Betty White, whom my dad thinks is a total moron, was hilarious in the movie:



Kee-Chee Wah. Kee-Chee Wah.



Hahhahahahahahhahahahahahahahah. I love it.



Anyways, the reason my dad thinks she's a moron, is because she has terrible answers on Match Game. I watch reruns of Match Game from the 70's on the Game Show Network, and he is constantly making fun of her. But yeah, I love Match Game. Brett Somers is the best, but she had to sit next to Charles Nelson Riley, who just smoked the whole time.



Well I'm tired! Happy Halloween!

The Time Has Come For Yet Another.....CHASE'S CORNER

And here he is..................

CHASE!

Another sement of-----Chase's Corner!

Starting off I would like to announce that I am still the most posted guest host (Sorry Josh, Maybe next time) .
Tonight at the Yabo household, we had a game a Texas Hold'em, it was intense. The main point I would like to bring from that is that Mr. Yabo is quite the cheater!
As my first order or business, if you haven't noticed, I have decided to institute some color. Although the colors are just types of green, I feel that it changes everything.
Okay, time for my story from my soon to be published book, the font color will be returning to its original dull black color...
It was about 7 and a half months ago, while I was on a trek through the Sahara desert, there was a terrible sandstorm! I jumped on my camel's back and we trudged on. The night was coming so I had to find shelter. I turned the corner around the sand dunes and luckily saw some Eskimos (On vacation from Alaska or wherever) and they luckily had their igloo. I rested the night in their igloo, then when the sun rose and the sand storm had subsided, I set off. The Eskimos lent me a team of their fastest sled dogs. The dogs and I had been sledding through the sand for what seemed like days, when I finally saw it, the reason i had come this far, the killer, spotted, and 24 foot platypus. We had a glaring look towards each other for 12 and 1/3 minutes. Then i made my move. I lunged for my harpoon gun, but it was too fast. It shot its rocket propelled grenades at me. I was able to dive out of the way, but causing my harpoon to miss. That is it, i had no choice but to resort to my last weapon in my arsenal, my net gun. I only had three shots left so I had to make them count. The first shot he deflected it off his bill. I shot the second one, but it turns out that I loaded the net wrong and it back fired and caught one of the dogs. It was all down to this last shot, I shot, the wind was on my side. The platypus wasn't expecting a third shot! I had gotten him! I untied my dog that had been mistakenly caught, then tied to platypus to my sled and dragged it back to the nearest village. It turns out that the platypus had destroyed the village the week before, so when they saw it captured, the rejoiced. They decided to make every March 9th , national Chase day! We all celebrated. I took my newly captured platypus home and trained him to be my pet. We all lived totally regular lives after that, except for the fact that I now have a 24 foot platypus as a pet.


And this concludes the excerpt from my book The Adventures of Chase, a Memoir.
Thanks for reading, if you even made it this far.

Sorry For Not Posting, I've Been Doing Yardwork All Day

No. I'm just kidding. I wasn't doing yardwork.

I am going to make this post rather short. That is due to the fact that Chase will be here tonight, and he may like to post a Chase's Corner follow-up.

So as for right now, I'm going to talk about one of my proudest moments. I don't remember what grade I was in. 3rd or 4th maybe? It was a nice, Spring day at recess. We were playing kickball. I was up. I was pretty much positive that it was going to be yet another single. But no. I kicked it hard and awesomely. I ran and ran and ran as my teammates encouraged me to keep going. I kicked it down my the swings and jungle gym. The entire team was at homebase as I rounded the third and it was clear to me that the kickball wasn't coming back toward me anytime soon. I hit home again, and I had just hit my first home run.

Check back tonight for Chase's post.

The Slow and Steady Disappearance of Homework

Thankfully, the homework that gets assigned on a regular basis at school is becoming less and less frequent. Homework sucks, so this is good news.

Now, I will talk about Dr. Pepper. I used to hate it. When I was a gullible, young, naiive little boy, I could've sworn that I could actually taste pepper in Dr. Pepper. But then again, when I was little boy, I couldn't tell the difference between pepper and salt, so I was probably just imagining this at the time. But over the last month or two, I slowly grown to like Dr. Pepper. Tonight, I had McDonald's. Whenver I go to McDonald's, I ALWAYS have Coca-Cola. Tonight, I had Dr. Pepper. Its the beginning of a new age. That previous sentence was a direct quote from "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby." Its right after the grandma slaps the little boys. Anyway, I now love Dr. Pepper, and I encourage my blog readers to give Dr. Pepper a try.

It is my displeasure to inform you that one of my friend's from school has been diagnosed with Swine Flu. Several others are missing from class, and they probably have it too. But what really sucks is that the kid who got H1N1 is supposed to be having his birthday party this weekend! If he doesn't have it, I'll be depressed. I do not blog happily when I'm depressed. And you can count on that!

Opportunity (Doesn't) Knocks

Last night I didn't have the opportunity to blog due to my presence at the Monarch game (They won!)

It was my first Monarch game ever and it was awesome. I went to a friend's house afterwards, where we watched "Halloween: Resurrection." It was enjoyable and not very scary at all. Tonight I'm going to Vala's Pumpkin Patch with the family. It's gonna be fun, as always.

Quote of the Day:

I think I cracked my butt knuckle
~I don't remember

With Christmas just around the corner, its my pleasure to tell you that I'm already thinking of a Christmas list. I would like
1) An iHome. An iHome is the most perfect invention ever. You love listening to your favorite music, but some CD's have the stupidest other songs, so if you want to listen to awesome music, say, in the shower, than you can listen to all of your favorite songs without interruption from unwanted songs. Thank you, my iHomie'z! hahahhaha. Good one, Zach. Thank you!

2) A video camera. I love movies. I like making and starring in movies. If I had a video camera, I could do those two things every single day of my life.

If both wishes are granted, then those will probably be the only things I get for Christmas. Or we could switch it up, 1 of the items for Christmas, 1 for my birthday. Fingers Crossed.

This is my life and I'm sorry you had to hear about it.

iHola! Komeecheewah Hi

Ah, we meet again!

Well, today was not very productive at all. I had to study for two tests. Stupid. Math homework. Dumb. AND book report. Don't see the point.

On the Menu:

RIBS!!!!!
Baked Potatoes
Broccoli

Tonight, I also enjoyed watching a marathon of "The Office" on TBS; "Very Funny"

I am currently obsessed Edy's Rich and Creamy Grand Ice Cream: Vanilla-Chocolate. Except I only truly like the vanilla.

Bernie Madoff really makes me mad. He's a jerk. He's going to be in prison for 160 years. Yeah, he'll be out in no time.

Well, I have not a lot to say tonight, so I leave you with this advice: If your not going to help someone, then at least be grateful for what they did and what you didn't do.

Haunted Hallows Was The Best Experience of My Life

Yes. Tonight was an experience that I will never forget.

I went to Haunted Hallows with Joe, Logan, Logan's sister Lauren, and her friends Dana, Ben, and Jacob. Jacob and Ben were late, so we decided to walk around, while Dana kept saying, "Oh boy, I hope we don't see the Chainsaw Guy!!!" Well, the first person we saw was the Chainsaw Guy. We just walked right by us, climbed on the picnic table, turned around, started his chainsaw, and started chasing after us. Logan and Joe walked away, Dana and Lauren just stood there, and I, of course, ran. Well, I was later informed that running away shows your fear, and these people who scare people for a living LOVE fear, so I was chased with a fake chainsaw. I felt like such a hypocrite because I always told people to stay calm because if they touch you, you can SUE THEM FOR EVERY SINGLE PENNY THAT THEY ARE WORTH. But I thought he was going to kill me. I honestly believed that that man was going to take my life. I ran into the fence, and he looked at me, and jammed the saw into the fence next to me, as I begged him to leave me alone. Then I ran back to Dana and Lauren, and they were right next Michael Meyers who almost started chasing me with his fake knife. That was the highlight of my night. We went into a barn house with strobe lights that made you feel like you were dreaming or something. We visited Michael's house and went through a couple other small things. Then, we decided to visit DUN DUN DUN....The Haunted House. Well, Jacob had a few issues with Chainsaw Jerk. He got terribly scared, so the Chainsaw Jerk decided to have his back. Since Jacob had such a bad experience at the beginning, he didn't want to go to the house. Chainsaw Jerk showed a glimmer of niceness and he decided that he would go in the house. There is a TV at the beginning that shows a real news show investigating the house, since people believe its truly haunted. THEN, a scary flippin clown pops out and says, "HELLLLLLLLLLLLO!" and gives you directions and tells you not to smoke. The house was disturbing. The clown ends up scaring you. Bloody Mary, her psychotic lover, and their love child all appear in the house, along with an attractive prisoner, a little girl who lives in a chimney, a butler who leads you through a curtain, and guy who looks like he has frost bite on his face. Whoopsie, don't forget posessed candle girl and the one with the greenface. And finally, the mean lady who scares you with a car, then yells at you because your friend Dana can't open a door. Me and Joe have decided that are officially men, no longer boys.

This was a great experience, and I want to go somewhere else to experience these fun haunted houses.
