Merry Christmas

Hey everyone, it's Christmas and here is a snapshot of my Christmas. Every year I go over to my grandparents we exchange some gifts then and there. This year my parents and aunt got my grandpa a new HD TV. It's a nice 32 inch Visio. Far better than the fuzzy 27 inch Zenith he had. Being the tech master of my family, I was the one who connected everything. I like doing it though. Me, I got a sonic the hedgehog DVD, an adventures of sonic the hedgehog DVD, sonic colors for ds, a commemorative $2 bill, a star $100 bill, and some other things. It was fun.

My whole family had fun coming up with a creative way of giving my grandpa the TV. We decided on giving him boxes with small gifts in them and a slip of paper saying we made many donations in his name to phony charities. They had names whose acronyms spell "sap," "crap," and "shitty" all that give hints that we got him a TV. He thought the charities were real and that we really made donations in his name to them. My dad and I were laughing hysterically. Once he got to the final box, my dad, my brother, and I went out to the van to get the TV. He was so happy.

Now on to Christmas day.

I woke up and saw my gifts under the tree as seen here.


The exact order I opened in I don't remember and all my gifts aren't in these photos, but here is what I got on digital film.


The Green Lantern first flight, Mr. Bean's Holiday, Batman Under the Red Hood, and Superman Doomsday.


Super Mario Sleep Pants


DSiXL Bundle from Costco


A Fuzzy Dice Game and a new hat from My Coke Rewards.

Gobstoppers and Batman and Superman Public Enemies.


And here is all that I unwrapped. I also got an electric blanket, candy, and a watch key chain.

That's all I have interesting gift wise. Now on to other interesting stories.

Every year for the past couple of years, my family hosts Christmas dinner at our house. That always involves cleaning up. Our TV room is always a mess and it is high traffic. And just add new electronics to the mix. It is a mess and still is. But this year, it was at a family friend's house. That means I didn't have to clean up!!!!!!!! I was so happy at that.

On Christmas eve, my family went to 10:00pm mass. Our church doesn't do midnight mass. After the fun I had earlier that day, I had some trouble fighting the tiredness. But after doing the sign of the cross over my eyes, I just had some trouble mentally. My eyes stayed open and I got the spiritual part all right. It was the first time we tried that and we don't think we will do it again. We all had some allergy trouble with the incense as well. Luckily, my mom and brother were awake enough to get us home since my dad and I were both fighting sleep.

My family is also really big on the religion part of Christmas. We had somewhere between 10 and 20 nativities. They are also all unique. We have multiple nativity ornaments, a nativity window light, a play mobile nativity, and many others. It's good to not get to commercial and remember the birth of our savior Jesus. But don't think we don't have Santa's, because we do. We have a Santa's workshop, a Santa delivering presents, a Santa's sleigh, stockings over our chimney, and others.

We actually have this motion sensitive tree that sings abridged versions of jingle bells and Santa clause is coming to town. We got it many years ago when my brother and I were 7 and 5 I think and we loved it. We drove our parents nuts with it. And once we set it up in front of the door, and when my dad walked in, he was so startled. I guess we set it up and forgot about it, so when he walked in late at night and in complete darkness, it must be really scary to hear "merry Christmas everybody" with blinking, light-up, green eyes. Ah memories.

A semi tradition in my family is we watch "A Christmas Story" on TBS during their 24 hour marathon. I love that movie especially "I triple dog dare you." We never watch the entire movie in one sitting, typically it's over multiple showings since it is shown 12 times.

That's all for now. Later.

We are getting a website sort-of

Salut everyone. Pokematic here with some cool news.
Ya know how we post to 3 different video sites and they aren't all that organized? Well, if you didn't notice, they are and we do. But one of us had the great idea of geetting a website. All of us think we came up with the idea first and we will never know who thought of it first.

Anyways, we created a new blog that we will run similar to a personal site to organize videos. We have been working hard for the past few day on this project. We created a "home page" post with links to the "individual video" posts. It is curently in the works and is lots of work. This will be verry profesional looking. Hopefully.

This is separate from this blog but will run similar to the early days of this blog. We will not forget about this since we have many stories that will not be video worthy or make much sence as a video.

I hope to get it done by the time Christmas comes along. Consider it our gift to you this year.

Au-revoir.
PS: Salut is hi and Au-revoir is bye in French.

2 snow days in a row!!!!!!

Hey everyone, this is my second snow day in a row. I have had a 4 day weekend, during the week before break at that. This is amazing. Yesterday I spent the whole day surfing the net and watching hulu. Today I want to watch hulu and make it to the final level in the pit of 100 trials in paper mario the thousand year door. Life is good.

Pokematic goes to black friday

I did something cool recently, black Friday shopping. I went to Walmart at 10:30 and spent 1 and a half hours camping out in front of the dvd section. I brought my psp with many hours of downloaded videos from Crackle, mainly Big Guy and Rusty.

They didn't upload properly, no matter what I tried, sorry.

Because of the trampling, Walmart did something different. This year, they let everyone in early and then had all the deal items wrapped in a cellophane tape thing. I was in front of the dvd section waiting to get Superman Doomsday, Batman Under the Red Hood, Batman and Superman Public Enemies, Green Lantern First Flight (or whatever the subtitle is), and Mr. Beans Holiday. I go all 5 of those movies for about $10. What a great deal, and that's $10 all together. I also got proof that PS2 is still alive and well. They were selling NEW games in the cellophane. I have pictures to prove it.

After Walmart, I went to Kohls. I waited outside for about an hour. I didn't need to go in since I was just holding the spot for my mom and her friend. I hold a spot in line, she buys me stuff of Christmas, it all works out. Sorry, no video or pictures for this part. Hope you enjoyed my Black Friday blog. This has been Pokematic, signing off, and bu-bye.

Some news

Pokematic here once again with some news. I just saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows yesterday at the imax. It was awsome. Expect a review of that with a spoiler link. I mentioned in my hiatus video that I had some reviews filmed and saved but haven't posted, so I think I'll post them soon. Some friends and I are planing a videogame marathon over December 18-20. We will be doing it for toys for tots. I will provide more information at a later time once I get more details. Untill then, later.

Holloween blog

Happy Holloween everyone, Pokematic here with my Holloween blog.

At school, we had a Holloween dress up day on friday. Few people dressed up, but being the go against the crowed person I am, I dressed up. Check out my costume.



That there's a real hard hat I got from my uncle, and I made that stop slow sign out of construction paper and a broken pencil. I also wore my bright yellow shirt that maches my vest, but it was dirty when I took that picture. Some of my friends asked me what how I was dressed up since I wear that vest every day. It was a fun day.

On saturday, I carved a pumpkin. Here's a picture of catholiccontriversy with the finished product.

Initialy the bottom part was suppost to be a chin, but apon looking at it compared to my other pictures, it now looks alot like my chinstrap beird. Life's funny like that.

So long everyone.

I think I have super powers

A little while back, I had lots of homework. I worked all day really hard, so afterwards I was quite tired. You know that feeling where you do a lot of mentally demanding work and you just can't think anymore because you are so brain fried, that was what I was feeling.

Anyways, just before that I was watching dragon ball z season 7. I remembered the part where Gohan was teaching Videl how to harness her ki and then how to fly. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, here's the video clip.





I know I've been kinda random up till now, but soon you'll see where I'm going. You know how scientists theorize that humans don't use anywhere near the potential of their brain, I think I might have unlocked some of that forgotten potential.



So my brain is hurting because I worked it so hard, and I'm just sitting on my couch not doing much of anything. I decided to try what Gohan said about concentrating all my energy into my hands and being relaxed. I swear I felt my right hand heat up along with the air around it while my left hand and the air around it cooled down.

It was either my mind playing tricks on me or I really unlocked some of my brain's unused potential. I've yet to be able to recreate that, but it was awesome!
