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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Time is Near
You heard me, girl/guy/whatever you are. Soon and very soon, my 300th blog post will be coming. Don't know what to expect? Good, cuz neither do I.
I apologize for the lack of blog in these past two weeks, but I've been busy/pre-occupied.
Summer is going fantastic. I've been hanging out w/ friends and living by my motto: Party hardy.
This week is going to be completely epic. I'm not very sure whats so epic about Monday and Tuesday, but I'll figure something out. Wednesday is the day my aunt Michelle is coming in from New Mexico. The following day (Thursday, for my slower readers) we are having a birthday party for Michelle's daughter Emma. I have no idea how old she is turning, but its her first ever birthday party so it will be fun! Also, we are going swimming at Fun Plex. I've never been to Fun Plex before, so I hope it is a fun place with an attractive water park. And then Friday is the big day. The dudes of the family are going to humiliate themselves on the golf course, and then go back somewhere for a few cold ones (sodas). Later that evening, my grandparents are renewing their vows for their 50th anniversary! Woot, woot! After the service, we're going to Piccolo's to enjoy some delicious, juicy steaks and prime ribs. Ya! After, we'll go back to the Grandparent's house to enjoy cake and ice cream. Ay verdad! (Spanish)
So don't bother me Wednesday-Saturday afternoon (I'll be hung over from all the fun)

Watching Fat People Eat is Like Watching the Titanic Sink
I'm just sayin. ^^^^^^
Well it's officially summer vacation and yesterday was Memorial Day. Thank you, troops. I just got back from a round of golf and I'm starving. I was considering ordering Jimmy John's, but then I decided that I didn't feel like talking to a stranger on the phone. My throat is a little sore and stuff, and I'm tired.
Well, I tried them. And they didn't go my way. On Saturday I got contact lenses. But there's a problem---I can't see out of them. They're cloudy and difficult to see out of. Nuts. Mother is calling the doctor today to see what we can do. She's convinced its all about the curvature of the contact, but I don't think that it's the right brand. Once again, we don't see eye to eye. Haha. That's kind of funny since we're talking about eyes and contacts. Don't see eye to eye. Haha. Get it?
Right now I'm home alone. Thank God. Parents have to do that ridiculous thing called work, Jared had an early afternoon baseball game, and Paige is with a friend. Sanctuary. Isn't it odd that Gary Coleman died so suddenly, and Dennis Hopper passed on a day later? I need to get something off my chest. I've never heard of Dennis Hopper. Who is he? Everyone is grieving the loss of him, but I'm like, "Rest in peace?"
Fill me in.

The Finale of Lost, and School
As most of you don't know, I am a huge fan of the series Lost. It ended last night. What good timing.
Let me explain the series characters to you so you can get a clear idea of what happened in the finale:
It all started when a plane crashed on a (thought to be) deserted island. Many died from the crash, but the select few survivors were forced to stay on the island, hoping and praying that they'd be found. But they weren't.
They continued to thrive on the island. Eventually a character named Boone finds a plane in the jungle. Boone tries to get it started in order to get help and save his fellow islanders. This plan failed. The plane fell, crushing Boone. This led to internal bleeding, and Boone was killed. His step-sister Shannon was crushed.
However, in Season 2, Shannon dies as well. A group of people from the other half of the plane, also known as the Tailees" show up, and their leader, Ana Lucia, mistakes Shannon for one of the people that kidnapped her fellow Tailees. She shoots Shannon, only to find out that she did nothing to her group. Shannon dies, and her death causes a rift between the Tailees and the main survivors.
Ana Lucia and her best friend Libby go next. Michael Dawson's son has been kidnapped by the Others-people who have been on the island unexlainably. Michael needs to free his son. Ana Lucia is guarding the Others leader, Ben. Michael needs to rescue Ben in order to get his son back, and since Ana Lucia is guarding Ben, he kills her to get to him. Libby witnesses this, and he kills her to cover his tracks.
Another Tailee, Mr. Eko, dies next in the 3rd season. Mr. Eko was haunted by his brother's ghost, and a mysterious smoke monster, that has been haunting the island for over 2000 years kills Eko.
Next comes the death of Charlie. Charlie stumbles upon Naomi Dorrit, and after listening to what she has to say, he and his Desmond go down to the underwater "Looking Glass Station" to try and track down Desmond's girlfriend, Penelope "Penny" Widmore. Charlie gets ahold of her, but one of the Others, Mikhail, scuba dives down into the water to the station, and launches a grenade towards the window of the station. Charlie locks the door of the room he is in, as it begins to overflow with water. By doing this, he saves Desmond from being drowned, and the station from being overflown. However he relates one last message to Desmond, the boat they are going after is not Penny's, and Naomi is a liar.
Next comes the most disliked characters in Lost history-Nikki and Paulo. Nikki and Paulo were original survivors. They were con artists that no one else on the island were really aware of. Prior to the crash, they had stolen diamonds worth about 8 million dollars. They had "Lost" them after the crash. Nikki found out that Paulo had been hiding them from her, because he thought she would leave him after she got them. She found out about this, and released poisonous spiders on to Paulo. The spider's venom poisons someone for 8 hours. She gets the diamonds, only to be bitten by a spider herself. She runs to find the islanders but passes out right when she gets there. She tries to tell them that she is paralyzed, but they can't understand her and she falls unconscious. They assume her to be dead, not being able to hear her heart beat. They also find Paulo. They make them a grave, as Nikki's eyes begin to open, sand covers her face, and Nikki and Paulo are buried alive.
The only real person to die in Season 4 is Locke. Locke was a leader for the Islanders, and the island cured the paralysis in his legs. After being rescued along with 5 other Islanders, (Known as the Oceanic 6) Locke cannot forget about leaving the island and wants to go back. After unsuccessfully trying to convince some of the others to go back, Locke prepares to take his own life. But Others leader Ben (Who escaped the island in a way I can hardly explain myself) kills Locke first, and makes it look like a suicide. (The Oceanic 6 eventually returned to the island, even after a time warp that occurred)
In season 5, the main characters that died were Charlotte and Faraday.
After going through a large mix of time warps, Charlotte's scrambled brain and body cannot handle it, and she dies.
Faraday is in the 70's and is shot and killed but Eloise Hawking, who unknowingly shoots her own son. (After leaving the island, Eloise, on a mission, gives birth to Faraday in the future. Confusing.)
I forgot, Naomi also dies in this season after Locke throws a knife at her. Heh heh heh.
And Season 6 brought in the waterworks for sure. At the end of Season 5, Juliet, an Other who falls in love and starts a life with Sawyer, originally acting as a spy, is helping the Islanders detonate a bomb. Juliet falls down a hole after a bout with electromagnetic stuff (she has a metal chain wrapped around her) Juliet survives the fall, but, to help her new friends, she detonates the bomb and dies in the explosion.
Ilana, an officer who came with the Oceanic 6, dies after dynamite exploded unexpectedly in her bag.
The other deaths of main characters don't come until later.
The Islanders eventually board a submarine hoping to get off the island! But the Smoke Monster I talked about earlier, has inherited Locke's dead body. Locke Monster places a bomb in the submarine, and Sayid, (who knows everything) knows how to detonate the bomb. Jack, the annoying "hero" of everyone tells them that Locke Monster (or LM) cannot hurt them, he's not allowed to. Sawyer, Jack's frenemy, doesn't buy this. He diffuses the bomb, which only makes the bomb tick faster. Sayid runs off to the other side of the ship to try and save the others, and the bomb explodes is Sayid's hands. The explosion causes Sun to become trapped behind a series of metal fragments, and she's pinned. As the sub overflows with water, the others escape as Jin, Sun's husband, refuses to leave her. They drown in the sub.
The finale was epic. Jack became the protector of the island. And here's the story. There was a "Sideways" timeline in this season, which showed what would have happened to the characters if the plane didn't crash. This became important....
After Desmond is rescued by husband and wife/fan favorites Rose and Bernard, he goes to join Jack, to see what is at the bottom of the light Jack is protecting. They think that if they do something with the light, that their lives will go back to normal. Desmond goes down, but they messed with the light and the island began to sink and collapse into the ocean. Jack and LM have a wicked faceoff, in which Jack is stabbed, but the woman he loves, Kate, shoots LM, killing him. Jack, wounded, goes off to restore the light and prevent the island of sinking. He does so and is teleported back to the top of the island, saving Desmond in the process. Desmond is returned home by the new protector of the island, loveable Hurley and his right-hand man, Ben (yes, evil turned Saint Ben)
Then in the sideways Timeline, a major shocker is revealed. All characters, past and present, are in this timeline. Whenever they come into close contact with each other, they remember what had happened on the island and their lives there. They all reunite at a church, where it is revealed that everyone at the church and in the sideways timeline is dead. They all died sometime or another, whether it be on the island or long after the island. They built this place together to help each other move on and let go. This place is Purgatory. After the reunion, they move on the next phase.
Survivors of the island:
Sawyer-Ex-con man/Village Idiot
Kate-Fugitive/Hero who killed her abusive step-father
Claire-Became a mother on the island, Jack's sister
Frank Lapidus-Pilot who saved the Oceanic 6
Miles-A nobody from a freighter from a nearby island
Richard-An aboriginal of the island I guess
Thanks for listening take the poll.
School's out tomorrow. bye!
Let me explain the series characters to you so you can get a clear idea of what happened in the finale:
It all started when a plane crashed on a (thought to be) deserted island. Many died from the crash, but the select few survivors were forced to stay on the island, hoping and praying that they'd be found. But they weren't.
They continued to thrive on the island. Eventually a character named Boone finds a plane in the jungle. Boone tries to get it started in order to get help and save his fellow islanders. This plan failed. The plane fell, crushing Boone. This led to internal bleeding, and Boone was killed. His step-sister Shannon was crushed.
However, in Season 2, Shannon dies as well. A group of people from the other half of the plane, also known as the Tailees" show up, and their leader, Ana Lucia, mistakes Shannon for one of the people that kidnapped her fellow Tailees. She shoots Shannon, only to find out that she did nothing to her group. Shannon dies, and her death causes a rift between the Tailees and the main survivors.
Ana Lucia and her best friend Libby go next. Michael Dawson's son has been kidnapped by the Others-people who have been on the island unexlainably. Michael needs to free his son. Ana Lucia is guarding the Others leader, Ben. Michael needs to rescue Ben in order to get his son back, and since Ana Lucia is guarding Ben, he kills her to get to him. Libby witnesses this, and he kills her to cover his tracks.

8 Days (12, Including Weekends)
Yes, that's right. There is only 8 more days (12, including weekends) until I get out of SCHOOL!
Can I get a what-what? (Yabo-Maniacs: What-what!!)
Well I can tell you good news: Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains is coming to end on Sunday night. Survivor is a wicked good show and I can't wait to see who will get voted off next and who will eventually win. I know none of you probably watch the show, but you're gonna find out more about the remaining contestants so shut up and listen.
Who I want to win:
1. Sandra Diaz-Twine
2. Parvati Shallow
3. Jerri Manthey
4. Colby Donaldson
5. Russell Hantz
Sandra is most deserving. Her mother passed away recently and her husband is away in Afghanistan fighting for US. She we help a sister out? Parvati has played the game well. Jerri is completely worthless, but I like her better than Colby and Russell. Colby is a complete moron. He sucks in challenges and I don't understand why he wasn't voted off first for being so terribly awful. Russell is a witch. Yes, a witch. Take that! Why haven't they voted him out? Oh yeah, they're scared of him. But who wouldn't be? Afterall, he WAS RECENTLY ARRESTED FOR BATTERY AGAINST A WOMAN. Oh well. This is how I think it will go.
Russell won't win. People don't like him, and I think Parvati or Sandra will manage to edge him soon enough. Colby will be voted off by the remaining Villains, he has no chance. Jerri has not played that amazing of a game. She was boring this season. She made no big moves, and won't get the votes. It's between Parvati and Sandra. Sandra will get votes because she tried to help the Heroes. However, the other Villains may be aware of this and kick her off. Parvati will get votes for her good game play. And jury member Danielle can EASILY sway votes AWAY from Russ.
Good luck with everything.

Sonnet to Ceil
This poem is a limerick, entitled, "Grandma"
Grandma
Her mind continues to operate slower
Her IQ keeps dropping lower and lower
But everyday I want her to know
That I will always love her so
And everyday I'll show her

Four Very Unique, Important Analyses
This last week, I remembered that I had promised to give you all my analysis of how became extinct. So I will. But then, even MORE analyses came to mind. There are many (4) things that I need to speak my mind about.
Dinosaurs
God knows how the heck-sie dinosaurs got extinct. Scientists are obviously split. Ya know what makes me mad? Why can't all scientists agree on something for once? Jeeeeez. Anyway, I read an article in the paper that there is a HUGE hole somewhere in New Mexico that is a mile across, not unlike the Grand Canyon. A select few scientists believe that this was caused by a huge-mongous asteroid that hit the earth back in the day. They believe that the aftershocks caused by asteroids are what eventually killed the beasts, and also managed to wipe out a whole slew of different species. Aftershocks include earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, volcanoes erupting, et cetera et cetera. I felt satisfied with this information. THEN! I read an official article on the internet about a different theory that is also believed to be true. Climate changes (Occuring before the Ice Age) are also believed to what might have caused the demise of the dino's. Dinosaurs had such big bodies yet such small brains that they simply couldn't adjust. What do you believe happened? Think about it. Talk about.
GSN Live
If you have those extra channels, (200s, etc) on your television, you may be aware of GSN, or the Game Show Network. The show has been airing for roughly 2 years. Here is the list of hosts:
Heidi Bohay (February 2008-April 2010)
Bob Guiney (June 2009-Present)
Kelly Packard (September 2008-November 2008)
Alfonso Ribiero (September 2008-August 2009)
Fred Roggin (February 2008-July 2009)
Debra Wilson (May 2009-January 2010)
What, a bunch of losers. It started great, Besties Heidi and Fred, Partners in Crime. It looked great. But, then they decided that an extra 3 hours were needed to the series that aired during commercial breaks. They tore apart Fred and Heidi and put them with Kelly and Alfonso, respectively. Kelly ditched after 3 months, leaving them in need of a new hostess. Well they brought along Debra, and, just for fun, added Bob to the picture as a guest host. "Guest" didn't last long. He became permanent. 5 hosts. Someone was bound to leave. Fred, who had abandoned the show briefly to report for the Summer Olympics the previous year, was the one who left. And then there were 4. Turns out that Alfonso was busy with his other show (Catch 21) and the millions of other offers coming his way (Not!) He left one month after Fred-sie. Then there were 3! They....were the three best friends that anyone could have, their the three best friends that anyone could have....until.....It was obvious that Deb was being slightly upstaged by her co-hosts. Despite the entertaining promos with her in the picture, Debra was next leave. Things looked decent with the show finally going back to two hosts. Then, suddenly, Heidi had an epiphany, realizing how ridiculous Bob was. Heidi left earlier this month, leaving Bob as the sole host of GSN Live. And like I said, he is ridiculous. Good luck with everything.
Baggage
The newest show on GSN is Baggage. Jerry Springer hosts, so its clearly awesome. Three contenders vie for a date. However, they must reveal three bad things about them so the date knows before he/she goes on an actual date. The picker must choose 1 of the three options, whoever they think has the more reasonable baggage. However, in the end, the picker must reveal baggage about themselves, and the date they chose can choose if they still want to go on the date. The other day, the picker had the worst, most idiotic baggage anyone could ever imagine-She happened to be abducted by aliens--twice. The aliens came to her and asked her to come with them. She felt no danger, so she did. They went up into the spaceship and flew around in the sky. She woke up perfectly fine the next morning. The aliens were grey. They came back a second time, but she told them she didn't want to go with, so they left. What....has our world come to? No, you dumb idiot, you weren't abducted by aliens, no one believes you! What the heck-sie!?!?!?!
Today Show
This has got to be stupidest show...ever. This is my analysis of the characters on the show--It's a family, a family of 7
Matt Lauer-The Bipolar Dad--Matt seems like a stand-up guy, I don't like him. He has that face the shows he has a short temper and will pimp-slap Meredith in second if she dare cross him. Then he smiles and says, "Omg! I ran into a deer on my bicycle, I'm an idiot!" Then proceeds to cry.
Ann Curry-Mama Bear--When all chaos ensues, Ann is there to fix it. You go, girl! Probably the only one with a conscience, Ann is always there to help out the unstable hosts (Everyone else)
Natalie Morales-First Born Daughter--Natalie wants to make it, but is always upstaged by her siblings and parents who get the attention. No one remembers Natalie, and if I were her, I would demand that Kathy Lee be put in an elevator, spin her around a few times, give her 6 bottles of champagne, and before you know it, KLG will be out of the picture so Nat can step in as the new host of the 4th hour. :)
Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb-Clueless Teenage Girls-- They have no idea whats going on. They just sit and talk in their room about Frank Gifford and Hoda's imaginary husband. They only get attention from themselves and their C-List guests.
Al Roker-The Immature 7 Year-old Son--It's obvious that Al Roker is an idiot, we know. But the things that come out of his mouth, I swear he is not a stable person. The bratty, inappropriate yet unintentional comments are signs of being like his papa. Thanks, Matt.
Meredith Viera- The Baby--Everyone LOOOOVVVESSSSS Meredith. Miss Popular, the baby always gets the attention. She's stupid, not unlike everyone else!!!
Shove it up your nose, Today Show (Good luck with everything, Natalie)
Hope you enjoyed the Analyseseses~~

Best. Film. Ever. (I hope you can sense the sarcasm.)
Hi people.
First off I would like to apologize for my lack blog. I took a break that would hopefully pump me up back into the Blogger's Mode of finding interesting things to talk about. Here's what's been happening:
I got Honorable Mention in my Science Fair. Holler!
My Easter was great!
So was my Spring break!
Except I got 3 teeth pulled.
That sucked.
I went to Kansas City with Dad, Jared, and Brother Dave (We now refer to him as the Long-Haired, keep that in mind Josh/Al)
We saw Boston beat the always pitiful Royals. It was a good time.
Just survived my first week back at school and only have 27 more days to go until I'm free.
I spent this Friday night babysitting (and not getting paid) and surfing TV channels. I stumbled apon a little movie called, "Return to Horror High." I will now give a sypnopsis/review.
This sypnopsis/review may contain spoilers. I'm talking to you, Chase.
5 years ago, several brutal murders occurred at Crippen High School. The school is shut down and forgotten about. Until big-shot wannabe director (Steve Rocco? Who?) decides that a great movie plot could take place at the school. Marsha Brady (I refuse to call her by any other name) is at the crime scene when detective shows up. She explains the situation, and its obvious she has the dedication of Halle Berry combined with the brain of Paris Hilton. It's a win-lose situation for her. Covered, bloodied, contorted bodies lay on the ground. The cops investigate as it is shown back through the day what has happened. George Clooney pretending to be a cop shows up, and then dies 5 minutes later. Throughout the film, the audience is left with poop in their pants. A poop of confusion. One person will die, and won't be seen again, while another person dies as the director yells, "Cut!" Audience is shocked that the main character died, even though they didn't!? Things can go either way when it comes to a death scene. Then, the cops circle in on the killer after everyone else has been murdered. They investigate his shrine, and eventually kill him. Then, at the end, it is revealed that person the cops killed was the killer from 5 years ago, but had nothing to do with the murders that have happened. Well, who murdered the other people???? No one. An actor the cops have been questioning walks out and tells the dead bodies still on the ground that, "It's a wrap." The bodies get off, happy that they flimed the movie, and walk around with fake blood all over themselves. They get in their vans and drive away ASAP so cops don't realized that this was all one big horror movie filming and that they just got the wool pulled over their eyes. I would expect this out of you Marsha, but Detective?? Really? Your an idiot!!
The fact that I intended on watching a horror film and ended up watching a complete spoof was awesome. Although I'm mad at the director for tricking me, on some level, I kind of respect him for it. The witty lines threw off, the blonde chick with boy haircut leading the film, and ending up being diva-actress was brilliant. My confusion over the plot is fading as I realize the things that make sense as I write.
Overall, I give this film a 10 out of 10 for making me laugh at the wittiness of the huiman mind who wrote this film.
Besides these great points, the movie kind of sucked. :)

First off I would like to apologize for my lack blog. I took a break that would hopefully pump me up back into the Blogger's Mode of finding interesting things to talk about. Here's what's been happening:
I got Honorable Mention in my Science Fair. Holler!
My Easter was great!
So was my Spring break!
Except I got 3 teeth pulled.
That sucked.
I went to Kansas City with Dad, Jared, and Brother Dave (We now refer to him as the Long-Haired, keep that in mind Josh/Al)
We saw Boston beat the always pitiful Royals. It was a good time.
Just survived my first week back at school and only have 27 more days to go until I'm free.
I spent this Friday night babysitting (and not getting paid) and surfing TV channels. I stumbled apon a little movie called, "Return to Horror High." I will now give a sypnopsis/review.
This sypnopsis/review may contain spoilers. I'm talking to you, Chase.
5 years ago, several brutal murders occurred at Crippen High School. The school is shut down and forgotten about. Until big-shot wannabe director (Steve Rocco? Who?) decides that a great movie plot could take place at the school. Marsha Brady (I refuse to call her by any other name) is at the crime scene when detective shows up. She explains the situation, and its obvious she has the dedication of Halle Berry combined with the brain of Paris Hilton. It's a win-lose situation for her. Covered, bloodied, contorted bodies lay on the ground. The cops investigate as it is shown back through the day what has happened. George Clooney pretending to be a cop shows up, and then dies 5 minutes later. Throughout the film, the audience is left with poop in their pants. A poop of confusion. One person will die, and won't be seen again, while another person dies as the director yells, "Cut!" Audience is shocked that the main character died, even though they didn't!? Things can go either way when it comes to a death scene. Then, the cops circle in on the killer after everyone else has been murdered. They investigate his shrine, and eventually kill him. Then, at the end, it is revealed that person the cops killed was the killer from 5 years ago, but had nothing to do with the murders that have happened. Well, who murdered the other people????

Let's Be Realistic
C'mon. Kardashian is not an Armenian name. That's like saying Smith is a Jamaican last name. I posted that comment on Twitter, only to have someone claiming to speak Armenian tell me that there is a possibility that it is a genuine last name. Hmmm. How do you say, "I didn't ask you to correct me!" in Armenian.
I'm sure that you're wondering how my science presentation went. Well, who knows? We haven't had the actual fair yet, but we did do class presentations and I got good reviews. Unless everyone lied, which would make sense.
I have 1/2 of a day left before I'm allowed to leave the building for 9 days and be by myself. Here's what usually goes down: I get all excited for break, freak out, then say, "I'm booooooored." My mother gets sick of it after two hours. Which shows signs of impatience. Hmmm.
Now, I don't want to seem predictable, but I think you all saw this coming. I want to bring a topic to the table that a lot of you would sit at your desktop and say, "Of course, Zach brings up that topic. I can read him like a book." The topic of the day is...
How the heck did dinosaurs really get extincted?
Crapsie.
My parents and I are heading off to La Mesa. I'll finish this topic next time. Peace!

One of My Proudest Poem Moments to Date
This is a poem I wrote for Literature class:
Trees
The tree is my shadow
Treacherous typhoons tear trees to the turf
I say, "Enough with the tree abuse!"
The tree is my shadow
Always there for me to fall back on
When in doubt, hug a tree
The tree is my shadow
Behind me, in front of me, I see trees everywhere
And I like what I see.
The tree is my shadow
Hovering over me, blowing in the wind
Swish Swish Swash Swash
The tree is my shadow.

Zach

Zach's Weekend Birthday Bash and Other Stories about this Whirlwind of a Week
Heyyyyyyy. We have a LOT to catch up on.
First of all my birthday was this weekend!~ It was awesome. The fam and I went out to eat at Outback Steakhouse Friday night. The night before was when my father nicknamed this weekend, "Zach's Birthday Weekend Bash" He stuck with it. Saturday was fun. I got my gifts (Popcorn maker, clothes, book, and Magic Bullet) And had an overall fun fantastic day. We had cake Sunday, a wedding cake from Wheatfield's. (yum.) It was a pretty fantastic birthday weekend bash!
This week I'm working on a Science Fair project. I'm testing to see how different temperatures affect the growth of bacteria. I'm using ager (aww-ger) plates with my experiment. I know you are all really excited to hear about that.
My March Madness bracket thought it would be funny to sit on top of a cliff, only to to be pushed by the likes of Murray State, Northern Iowa, and St Mary's and plummet to his death. In other words, its busted.
The Celebrity Apprentice has started up again, and I've enjoyed so far. Boy do I get a kick out of Cyndi Lauper. Talk about wack job!
My new favorite song is called The Story by Brandi Carlile, but I like the version sang by Lacey Brown on American Idol a lot better. Check it.
This is my life and I'm sorry you had to hear about it.
Holler!
Zach

Hello Peoples.
It's a cloudy, yet satisfyingly warm Saturday afternoon. I sit here in my dark basement playing online poker and listening to music. My day has been less than productive. It consisted of watching a Solitary marathon and eating Laughing Cow Cheese (American Swiss) and Crackers. I'm on cloud 9 over the fact that I don't have much homework this nice weekend. Just a book report. And by the way, the book is amazing. It's entitled "Big Mouth and Ugly Girl", by Joyce Carol Oates. It was about a boy who makes a seemingly harmless joke that two students misinterpret. The boy (who nicknames himself Big Mouth) is arrested until a tall, gangly and athletic girl (who nicknames herself Ugly Girl) testifies on his behalf. The pair become friends and eventually fall in love as the big mouth endures many challenges. It was quite satisfactual.
Today I cut myself. The clementines on our counter were looking slightly brown (and tasted disgusting) so mother gave me permission to cut it open, then throw it away. One of my main philosophies is The Bigger, The Better. So I instinctively grabbed the biggest knife I could find. I stab one clementine with the knife, then start cut open the other one with the first clementine still on the point of the knife. The stubborn clementine refuses to be cut, so my finger goes instead. I feel the cut and look down to see split skin. I'm relieved for one millisecond, only to see blood start gushing out. Then the pain sinks in. I scream for Paigethix (my nickname for my younger sister, who occasionally acts like an embecile.) She of course thinks I'm trying to fool her with ketchup, but by the sight of my screeching, she knew better. We went up to the bathroom, ran the finger under cold water, as Paige called mom (whom I just got off the phone with.) Slabbed a Band-Aid (Along with an excessive amount of Neosporin) and now my finger, though still hurting is on its road to recovery. Just another day.....

Four Eyes in the House!!!!!!! (Huge Smile)
Whelp, I got my glasses, guys. They're alright, I guess. But no one wants to get glasses, ya know? They're a major buzz kill. Yeah.
Happy Friday! I love Fridays more than anything in the whole world, and I hate Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. Haven't we had this discussion, I think so.
Now, it is indeed that time of the year. It is time for me to give you my 2010 Oscar Picks. The award ceremony will be taking place on Sunday, and everyone is in high gear in the movie industry. Who will win? Who will fail horrendously? Who will pull a Bjork? In two days, these questions will be answered. But who cares about that stuff right now? Let's get to my predictions!
Best Supporting Actress:
My order to win:
1. Monique, Precious, Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
2. Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
3. Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart
4. Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air
5. Penelope Cruz, Nine
Who Will Most Likely Win: Monique
Listen, this one is a given. This year in the film Precious, Monique played villain/abusive Mama Mary Jones. Messed up mothers are shoe-ins for the award. Anna Kendrick will come in 2nd, because the Academy loves that young girl who did good. The rest are Wild Cards.
Best Supporting Actor:
My Order to Win:
1. Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones
2. Matt Damon, Invictus
3. Woody Harrelson, The Messenger
4. Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds
5. Christopher Plummer, The Last Station
Who Will Most Likely Win: Christoph Waltz
Newbie Christoph Waltz, like Monique, has been sweeping awards this season, and the Oscars won't be any different. However, from what I've seen in trailers, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. I think the award should go to Stanley Tucci, for his work as a serial killer. The Lovely Bones looked good, but it didn't live up to expectations. Someone deserves credit for this so-so movie. Matt Damon should come in 2nd since Morgan Freeman won't win Best Actor.
Best Actress:
My Order:
1. Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
2. Gabourey Sidibe, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
3. Carey Mulligan, An Education
4. Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia
5. Helen Mirren, The Last Station
Who Will Most Likely Win: Sandra Bullock or Meryl Streep
I know what you're thinking. A lot of people think Meryl Streep will win. I disagree completely. People say she didn't act, she impersonated Julia Child in her film. She deserves an Oscar for that? I can watch FANTASTIC impersonations on Saturday Night Live, but those people don't get Emmy's, much less Oscars! Sandra Bullock's breakthrough performance as strict, open mother Leigh Anne Tuoghy is breathtaking. Not only has her transition to dramatic films been amazing, but the little things Sandra does in little scenes of the movie seem effortless, yet they still amaze me when I watch them. Sandra deserves an Oscar. Don't get me wrong, I like Meryl Streep, but she's had her time. She has been nominated for 16 Oscars. She's lost a lot, but some of her older performances have deserved an Oscar more than her latest one. Why should she win for something that wasn't as good as the last? Despite this, newcomer Gabby Sidibe or petite little Carey Mulligan may be able to pull huge upsets over both Sandra and Meryl. And Helen Mirren, well, sorry.
Best Actor:
My Order:
1. Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart
2. George Clooney, Up in the Air
3. Morgan Freeman, Invictus
4. Jeremy Renner, The Hurt Locker
5. Colin Firth, A Single Man
Who Will Most Likely Win: Jeff Bridges
Let's face it. This one is a no-brainer. Jeffy will finally win something. Yipee. George is overrated, so he won't be awarded ANYTHING! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. Morgan, Jeremy, and Colin have no chance either. Like I said, no brainer.
Best Director:
My Order:
1. Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker,
2. James Cameron, Avatar
3. Lee Daniels, Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
4. Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds
5. Jason Reitman, Up in the Air
Who Will Most Likely Win: Kathryn Bigelow
The only real contenders here just so happen to be Exes. And I think the Academy will have a hard time not giving the award to Kathryn, but that's just me.
And finally....
Best Picture:
My Order:
1. Avatar
2.The Blind Side
3. Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire
4. Up
5. An Education
6. The Hurt Locker
7. Inglourious Basterds
8. Up in the Air
9. A Serious Man
10. District 9
Who Will Most Likely Win: Avatar
For once, this may be a year when the person who wins Best Director doesn't get the award for Best Picture.
Tune into the Academy Awards Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. on ABC!

Really Proud Because I Thought Of An Awesome Title For My Next Blog Post
Well, after the eye appointment, there was an obvious consensus. I'm getting glasses. My right is my dominant, meaning when I read, my right eye leads the way. However, my right eye is weak sauce. My left is poifect. So I'm getting glasses maybe this weekend, if not, Monday or Tuesday. And for my first post with glasses, I thought of a decent title for my post. What is it? I ain't gonna tell ya!
The final Creighton game was Saturday, and it was awesome. I loved it, as usual. It was Senior Day, so we got to see Justin Carter, Cavel Witter, and Chad (Loser) Millard. They all cried, and the famous old lady yelled, "Make some Noise!" It was good. Sadly, I have to go now. BYEE!

Yeah.
First off, (long heavy sigh) I'd like to apologize for being to lazy to blog these past few weeks. But, please forgive me. Things have been hectic, and now that I'm almost done with this busy stage I'm going through, I've decided to blog.
I'd like to start off by telling you that Tiger Woods is still dead to me.
I'd also like to tell you that Survivor: Heroes Vs. Villains has started up. So far, Sugar and Stephenie from the Heroes have been eliminated.
I'd also like to tell you about my eyes. Since early January, I've had trouble seeing the overhead in World Geography. Personally, I thought the overhead was messed up, so I brushed it off. Yesterday, I had a terrible realization. It's not the overhead that has a problem. In Spanish, while viewing a PowerPoint, I could see diddly squat. I scooted up to the third row, and yes, I could see...but it was blurry!?!? And finally when I went up to see my teacher, it was clear. Talk about a wake-up call. I informed my mom about this, and I have an eye appointment tomorrow, to see what's going on. Funny enough, two years ago around this time, Jared had to get glasses because he had the same problem!!! Irony? Or does it run in my genes? So, family, don't be surprised to see me with glasses on Easter, but nothing's official. Thank you for your time, I'll start blogging again, promise :)

Refusing to Apologize
Yeah, whatever. I know I promised to blog this week, but I couldn't. And that is the truth. I came down with a crappy case of strep throat, and when I wasn't passed out on the ground drooling all over with my strep throat-ness, I was denied computer access because if Paige or Jared got the virus, the world would end.
I've since been medicated (And let me tell ya, the pills I have to take are enormous!) and I feel a lot better. But now I have a cold. Yesterday my nose was stuffed more than a deer's head on a mantle. And now I have the occasional "cough cough." And a sucky part about it was that I missed 3 days of school, and those days were gonna be fun! AND.....I have to make up homework. I. Hate. Homework. Especially A LOT of homework. I don't get math because I wasn't even there to learn it and then we have a test Tuesday. Oh, and I missed the party Friday. Uggggggh. Clearly, I'm not bitter.

Sandra Bullock
As most of you know, I am somewhat of an actor. As an actor, I feel obliged to see a lot of movies. However, I don't get to see a lot of movies. So I WikiPedia them. However, this winter, I had the opportunity to see The Blind Side with, you guessed it, Sandra Bullock. She's since won a Critic's Choice Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) Award. This has made me....zapping ecstatic. I have been a major fan of Sandy's ever since she starred in Miss Congeniality. She's since starred in films such as Crash, The Lake House, Premonition, and The Proposal. And finally, she's being recognized for her acting chops. I mean, she's great, but she's never got the right role to put her in this position of glory. She's great as a comedic actress, but the Blind Side has shown how good of a dramatic actress she can be! And, I'm not the only one in the Yabo household whose a fan. Mother is satisfied. Brother thinks she's a "good actress." Father wants her to win the Academy Award. Father also liked her in Speed, but her performance was ruined because Keanu Reeves was in the movie, and according to father, Keanu Reeves is one of the worst actors ever. My opinion? Who would name their son Keanu anyway?
We'll see about that Oscar ;-)
I'm out!

The Word Mad is a Zappin' Understatement!
Unless you've been living under a rock, in a coma, or been on vacation in the country of Zimbabwe for the last two weeks, then you probably know about the Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno, Late night fiasco. Well, I'm very angry. Today, January 21, it was announced that after 7 months of hosting, Conan O'Brien is departing from The Tonight Show because Jay Leno's show sucks at everything, and Jay has to be a little girl and get his/her way about everything. Conan O'Brien moved his staff, and himself all the way to Los Angeles so he could host the Tonight Show. Jay Leno said he would retire. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! The little girl wants to keep hosting because he/she realized that he/she should've never retired in the first place. So he/she gets a primetime show that sucks because people have better things to do at that time of night. So he/she wants another show. And NBC, who, I swear is run by a bunch of 3-year-olds and a few chimpanzees, decides to give the little girl his/her way. But Conan rightfully rejects the offer to switch timeslots for Princess Jay, and NBC fires him, but gives him money in the process. The contract reportedly says that Conan cannot say anything bad about NBC (so I will) and he can't appear on television until September 1st, 2010. I'm probably angrier than Conan. Jay Leno has lost my viewership and unless he has a guest that appeals to me, I plan on switching to Letterman and the always fun extra Chelsea Lately rerun. Sorry Jay. You've lost my respect, girl.

2010 Happenings
Believe or not, this week was actually quite busy for me.
I had like 5 tests since its the end of the quarter. Spelling was easy. Spanish? Piece of cake. Religion Quiz/Prayer Test? Amen. Math-Sucks.
I hate math. I don't like math. Put it any way you want, but I do not enjoy Mathematics. "You're gonna be using it all your life!" If I am truly going to be using this information all of my life, then I'm willing to hire an accountant. It's boring, stupid, doesn't really make sense most of the time, and difficult to work. I'm mulling for a good grade on that test.
Tonight I will be working a Steak Fry for service hours. The terrible thing about working it is that I don't get to eat the steak. I've never worked one of these before, so I haven't the slightest clue if I get a break or what job I'll be doing. However, I'm busboy, I'll be mad. Who would want to work as a busboy? Why would one even consider placing one's hand on someone else's forks and plates? I mean, at least use some rubber gloves or something. I hope I can just like be a waiter or attempt to sell raffle tickets or something like that. Oh, well. I volunteered, and besides, it's Service Hours for Confirmation! Can I get a what-what??
Then tomorrow I have a basketball game a nooner. I really want to play on my school's new gym floor, even though I don't think the floor is "all that." It was different from what I expected it to be, and its already got some scratches and people keep spilling stuff on it during lunch ("MY GOD!") Hahaha. Inside joke, people.
And an even better aspect of this weekend is that I have no homework. Not a single ounce of it. I'm quite a happy camper about that. Well, now you know about my amazing life. Lucky you!

A Night in the Life of a Sleep-Walker
Ladies and Gentleman, I have a G-R-E-A-T story for you. Unless my mother has already gotten to you first, then that changes everything.
So last night, I couldn't sleep. For some reason, whenever I have a sleep-walking experience, its on nights that I'm unable to sleep. Anyway, I felt myself get out of bed at what my brain was telling me was 6:30 a.m. I grabbed my uniform and took it with me to the shower. It was weird. I could feel myself walking, but I had no self-control. I get in the tub, somehow turn on the shower, and go blank. I think I really woke up in the shower. I had my eyes closed, but I was conscious. I got out of the shower and laid down on the rug. Then, fully awake, eyes wide open, I brushed my teeth, applied deodorant, et cetera et cetera. Then, I realize that, no, I hadn't grabbed my uniform to change into, I had grabbed a pair of shorts. I walk out with a towel wrapped around my waist, only to find that everyone was asleep. I walk into my room, to look at my clock. It goes from 2:59 to 3:00 a.m. It was NOT 6:30. My mother asks me the same question I'm asking myself, "What the heck just happened?" She interrogates me. Are you confused? Are you sick? Did you throw up? No. I think I would've known if I did any of that. She convinces me to go back to bed. I am awaken at the REAL 6:30 in the morning, and I don't have to take a shower! hahaha. I explain to my mother that it must have been sleep walking. I get to school, and all my friends are in shock, disbelief, and every single one of them found the story quite humorous. Now I think that I'm like Katie from Paranormal Activity.
Welcome to the life of an avid sleep-walker.

Movie Review: Paranormal Activity
Hello, YaboManiacs,
First off, I'd like to apologize for not blogging this past week. Monday and Tuesday I had school, and these last 3 days I've been taking advantage of my snow days. It was nice, thanks for asking.
Last night, me and my chums watched a little independent film by the name of Paranormal Activity. Jared was scarred (Yes scarred, not scared) from the movie, so I couldn't wait to feast my eyes upon this horror flick. It's time for another movie review:
Sypnosis:
Katie and Micah (no last names) have been together for 3 years. Ever since she was 8 years old, Katie has been somewhat haunted by something. Over the past few weeks, things have gotten worse and more frequent. She wakes up with nightmares and occasionally here noises in the house. Her boyfriend Micah is determined to capture the presence with a camera that rolls all day. After calling in a psychic, the two learn that the house isn't the problem- It's Katie. Whatever this thing is, it's not gonna go away. The being begins to strain the couple's relationship. How can they stop this from ruining their lives?
The movie was great. It was well-shot, kept me interested, and had plot twists that I've never seen in a horror film. By far, one of the best movies, let alone horror film.
Cast:
Katie, played by Katie Featherston: Great actress. A very believable performance as a 20-something year old being stalked by an unknown presence. In her first real film, Featherston proves she can play anything-possessed woman, sweet girl, this woman has potential
Micah, played by Micah Sloat: A persistent character, Katie's boyfriend of 3 years. Micah, a day trader, is determined to figure out what is haunting his live-in lover. He uses a camera to record all that goes on, even when they are sleeping. After awhile Katie protests to get rid of the camera, thinking it's making the presence angry. Micah persists. Micah Sloat was good to play the annoying, idiotic man. The character won't leave his messed up girlfriend. If that's not love, I don't know what is. Another believable performance.
Doctor Friedrichs, played by Mark Friedrichs, is the psychic that comes and helps the couple. Mark's performance of a professional was good, but doesn't compare to the others. The psychic, however becomes a problem instead of helping it, so he abandons the couple for their own safety.
Amber, played by Amber Armstrong, Katie's best friend. She tries to help in the two scenes she's in, but she just doesn't understand the seriousness of the situation. Armstrong sucked as a supporting actress, and I'd like to see her in another film that could help bring out her true abilities.
Yup, there were only 4 people in the main cast. It was a fantastic movie. I recommend it to anyone 12 years old or older, and is willing to scream out loud.

Zach
