Halloween II

I just got back from trick or treating-so yes I wnet-I finally realized that I had the perfect alabi- I'm taking my little sister-and do you think that I'm not going to get some free candy while doing that-NOPE! Well, I gotta go. I can taste some candy for the second time tonight...LOL.

Mad for Mad

Anybody that knows me well knows that I'm not a huge reader. A couple novels here and there, but that's really it. But that isn't the case ever since a friend introduced me to MAD last December. I promptly ordered a year's subscription to MAD, and regularly buy MAD classics(a collection of MAD from the old-days). I love MAD so much, and anybody with a sense of humor would, too. Here's a link to MAD's mad site!

Also, on the right is a sample of one of MAD's famous covers that always features a fictional character that emerged in the 20's known as Alfred E. Nueman.

MAD also has a late night TV show on FOX 31 at 10:30pm on Saturday nights. And-shockingly-it's called MAD TV.

I'm MAD for MAD!!!

You Tube

Videos are the most modern way of getting information.
Screw dat!!!!
Videos are the coolest thing since-well-TV. And thank God, we can watch them on the computer for free. Whether you want to watch some guy rant about how great Brittney Spears is, or your favorite band live in concert, videos on U-Tube have been a huge hit in internet culture. Some of my favorite videos are:
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=foo+fighters+snl (a bunch of live performances by the foo fighters- the best SNL musical guest)

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=SNL ( bunch of great SNL sketches)

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=leave+britney+alone&so=0 ( this freak that must love Britney-watch out, though, i couldn't find an edited version!

Anyways, GO YOU TUBE!

It's Too Cold for Snake Season!!!

They're the hottest team in baseball. They have won 21 of their last 22 games. When the Rockies realized what they would have to do to extend their season past the regular season, it seemed to be the impossible. Each player knew that they had to pretty much win every game since mid-September in order to get into a three way tie just to get a wildcard spot. It seemed like a long shot for a team that disappoints Colorado on a yearly basis. The impossible has happened. The Rockies have sweeped their past two playoff matches against the Philies and Diamond Backs respectively. They have gained a spot in the World Series for the first time in franchise History-which started in 1993.

They will face either the brilliant Red Sox or the hot Indians in the world series. The Rockies may have their work cut out for them, but they are seemingly undefeatable at this point. of caorse I'd be rooting for the Bo-Sox at this point, but my native ties to Colorado have won over. GO ROCKIES!!!!

Race for the Cure II

Although I had expected to do well at race for the cure, my knee was hurting pretty bad, and I was at the back of the pack when we sarted and there are so many people that you end up walking the first half mile. I ended up with a time of 31.05, but I am still happy because a. i saw a bunch of my friends there and ran with them b. it's not about me, so I did it for a good cause c.whatever! it doesn't go in the cross country books, so it's not like I'm tatooed with that time d. i had a blast I would like to encourage anybody who has two hours on a sunday morning and 20 bucks to participate in race for the cure-and you don't have to be an amazing runner like me-there are family runs, a women's race, and a walk.

Race for the Cure

Last year I could only walk at Race for the Cure, but this year I'm RUNNING! (see older Cross Country blog for details) I hope that I will be able to perform well considering that I ran only yesterday, but it's not really about how I do, but it's about the cause. I hope to have some pictures to put on the blog later-so look for some updates!

Halloween

It's that time of year agian-bust out your pumkin carvers and the age old recipe for roasted pumkin seeds 'cus it's HALLOWEEN. I love Halloween. I like the summer slowly changing to fall. I like decorating the house. But most of all, I like the candy! But I've hit a snag. I'm 14. Am I too old to put on the nasty rubber face mask and grab my pillow case and get 3 months worth of candy? What do you guys think? Am I way too old, or can I pull it off another year?

Cell Phones

We can hardly live without them anymore-for me the age was 14. Some kids are getting them at 10 or 11. Times are a'changin'. if you don't know wht the heck I'm talking about look at the title every once in a while!!! Cell phones! Texting, picture message, video message, sound message, all the music you could want, and-oh yeah-calling all in a box smaller than your fist. It really is amazing when you take a step back and look at it.

I don't know how i could do without one. I couldn't find my Mom when she picks me up from school, couldn't check in on friends, and I don't know what I would do in an emergency.

Cell phones describe their owners. For example- to all three of you who read my blog-

Ty(my uncle) his phone can surf the web, text, and keep him up to date-just what he needs.

Gabe-your old phone was a peice of crap (not to say anything about you lol) but his new one is simple, sleek, and gets the job done- so gabe

Jordan g.-a new double-flip phone with all the latest features-cool and hip like her!

Me: a chocalte with all the music you could imagine (although i'm too lazy to put any on!), the latest in "cool phones"- flippin awesome-just like me.

So really, my big point is that when you take a step back from our modern lives we really see what all of us are comprised of.

Sorry i gotta go. My phone is ringing.
