Elections

Good Luck to all the good candidates in the elections today!

Trapped Miners

If anyone is watching the news now, the last Chilean miner is finally going up the chute up onto land. You would think that everyone would want to be the first one out, but whoever came out last would hold the world record for longest time spent trapped in a mine.

Election 2010

Today I volunteered at my local congressional candidate's campaign headquarters by making phone calls to people in the town I live in to see which candidates they were voting for. It was funny when I called people I knew, and because I couldn't say who I was on account of their choices possibly being changed by my affiliation, they either made up excuses not to talk or just didn't answer the phone, something they never would have done if they knew it was me. It was very interesting for my first time doing something like that. I also ended up getting great pizza and wings that people donated, so in the end it was a great experience. I also went to a debate on Monday for the candidates for congress, and that was also very interesting. Please feel free to comment on any posts.

Indescribable?

It's funny how people say something is indescribable, then they attempt to describe it.

Runescape

I recently started playing Runescape again, which is one of the world's biggest online games. You basically get to make your own character, then try to become the most powerful warrior or whatever you want to be. There are hundreds of quests, mini games, and side-attractions that make the game really fun. You can also make your own or be part of a clan. I made a clan called, of course, Wongovia, so if you decide to make an account please join. I heard from some people in my school about a spin-off on Runescape named "TwistedScape". All it does is make you level up super fast, which takes all the fun out of the game. Check back for updates!

Finished with Avatar

I finally finished the series my friend told me to see called Avatar: The Last Airbender. First I saw the movie which at first I thought was really good. When I began to watch the series beginning with the second season (The movie summed up the first season), I could immediately see that the producers cut many key parts out of the story in the first season that was crucial to understanding the rest of the series. Other than that though, it was a great movie with lots of action, and I would recommend it to people of all ages. I watched the second and third seasons on netflix instant watch on my computer, than went back to see season one in cartoon form. Another way that people produce movies and ruin the plot. One of the only movies that I have seen that goes along with the books or the TV show it was based on was Harry Potter. Keep checking back for updates on this blog every day or two.

Legend of the Guardians

I heard that a new movie was coming out called Legend of the Guardians, so I started reading the series that it was based on that was gathering dust on my shelf for two years. It's a pretty good series, but I think it won't be too good when the movie comes out. I'm still going to see it because I love 3D movies, and the graphics look amazing. I need some topics that I can post about, so see the new contact page to find my e-mail.

Driving and Parking

Why do people drive on parkways, but park in driveways?

Mockingjay

I just finished the last book in one of my favorite series, The Hunger Games. It was called Mockingjay, and I would recommend it for anyone 12 and older. It is an exciting series about a future society that every year forces kids from each of its 12 districts to fight to the death in an event called the Hunger Games. The country is ruled by the Capitol, and it makes the districts compete in the Hunger Games as part of a treaty when the districts' revolution failed almost 75 years before. It is a great series and it focuses on a 16-year old girl named Katniss, who was selected to compete in the Hunger Games. I hear they are making a movie on it, and I hope it doesn't ruin the series like when they made a movie about the Spiderwick Chronicles.

Avatar: The Legend of Korra

Wow,

A new Avatar series is coming out called "Avatar: The Legend of Korra". It is going to be a twelve-episode mini-series, and is going to feature the new avatar, a water bender named Korra from the southern water tribe. She has learned all the elements except air, and will be taught airbending by Aang and Katara's son. If anyone of you out there watched both the Avatar: The Last Airbender series and The Last Airbender movie, you can see that the both were extremley different.

Humptey Dumptey in America

Humptey Dumptey sat on a wall, Humptey Dumptey had a great fall, Humptey Dumptey didn't have health care, so Obama taxed America to get him some.

Results of Pokemon VGC: Newark

Well, I lost.No surprise there because this is my first year with a Pokemon game and obviously my first year in the tournament. I did succeed in winning one battle though, and you can see it by going to the battle video section of the GTS and typing in the Battle Video Code: 73-98756-27675. I will start posting my videos whenever I go to an event or if I have a really good battle I want to show everyone. My first challenger was really no challenge (you'll see why in the battle video), mainly because he was a lot younger than me. My second challenger, (the one who knocked me out of the tournament)was really good. He had a Giratina (Same as me), a shiny Tyranitar (I was impressed at that), a Rayquaza (which I knocked out in one hit) and an other Pokemon that I forget. He beat me with Girtatina as my last Pokemon and knocked him out with dark-type moves.He had two guys, each with less than half HP when he beat me, so he must have really gotten his strategies perfected before he came to Newark. I guess the day wasn't a complete loss, because I did get a shiny Eevee (I'm trying to get it to evolve into an Umbreon) at level 50, and they gave out drawstring bag with Lugia and Ho-oh on it. I'm definitely going back next year(hopefully with Reshiram, the Pokemon you see at the top of the page). Even though the line was stretched out through the parking lot, behind the maintenance entrance, and onto the grass near the highway, and then the line weaved indoors(It took about half-an-hour to get registered from where I was),the line went along really fast and had a few other attractions outside of the line. If anyone else went to Newark, post a comment at the bottom of the page. I would recommend it to all of you next year, but you still have a shot at making it if you live near Indiana or Madrid, Spain. Good Luck to the Qualifiers from NJ!

Pokemon VGC Regional Championchips

Hey Everyone,

If you haven't heard, this year there will be a video game championship for Pokemon. I have a good chance of going this year, so i'll post my party and how I placed the the tournament after they're done. Comment if anyone else is going.

This blog will be changing...

Just want to tell everyone that I will be no longer posting about Club Penguin or Runescape for a long time. This blog will probably be changed into one about video games and other things. Expect a lot of changes soon. I might still have a page about Club Penguin and Runescape, but then I might not. I figured I leave the Club Penguin stuff to Mimo and start something unique. Stick around!
