My family vacation blogs

My family vacation, day 1 
Well today was eventful, kind of. I'm going on a family trip to my relatives down south. I'll tell you about the entire time, but due to possible inaccess to a computer, it may not be posted the day that I write it. I'm writing this on my Nintendo dsixl using the Nintendo ds web browser using my hotmail. I write it on hotmail, because of my 3 emails, it's the only one that will load. I then send it to my gmail or drafts in blogger. I don't post immediately because I want to spell check.
 
Well onto the day. We packed our minivan to the gills, half of which was snacks provided by my grandparents. We have a DVD player in our van so my cousin and I watched tomb raider cradle of life and Coraline. It was kind of hard on the way down because my grandma kept trying to force some snacks onto us kids. Oh well. Once we got to the hotel we're staying for the night, we went exploring the city looking for a place to eat. We went to this place called The Lucky Moose. It was sure lucky we found it. Mom convinced my grandparents that they served moose and we were all getting moose burgers. They went to eat at Bob Evens, because they would never eat at a place called the lucky moose. Eventually mom let them in because they were getting concerned. But she did say we'd bring them back a moose burger. If the McDonald's that's here had a Pokemon toy I didn't have, I would have bought a happy meal and give the burger to them saying it was a moose burger. More to come.
 
family vacation day 2
OK, today is day 2. But let me tell you about the night before. My grandparents love stories, and when we were all trying to go to bed, they were telling us stories.
Well now for the actual day. We all pack up and set out. It was raining incredibly hard. It was flooding in some places. We went to an awesome video game store that we stop at every time. They have both new, AND OLD, games. And when I say old, I'm talking nes and later. I bought A Bugs Life for Play Station, Banjo Kazooie, and a rumble pack for my n64. The place is called Play N Trade, and I recommend any fan go there. It pones gamestop.

Well we arrive, and things are weird. I have 3 girl cousins, 1 boy cousin, and they all wanted to talk to my girlfriend. Boy cousin starts asking awkward question, girl cousins are crazy, and utter hilarity happened. It was quite funny. At one point, I was the conversation messenger between everyone. GF says something, transfer to cousins. Cousins say something, relay to GF. Tomorrow we're going to holiday world. You'll hear about that tomorrow. I'm tired and going to shower and sleep. Bye.

family vacation day 3
Day 3 and boy am I tired. Before I talk about my day at the amusement park, let me tell you this crazy thing about my cousins shower. OK, I get that she's a girl, but do you really need 20 different soaps and stuff? My shower consists of a bar of soap and shampoo. That's really all you need.

Well now to talk about the amusement park. We went to a place called Holiday World in Santa Clause Indiana. The place is amazing. It has free pop, or soda for you southerners. No shit, FREE POP!!! Sure beats $5 for a bottle of water. There are great rides, and plenty of good shows. Another great thing is access to both parks. If you live in Indiana, or are going there, I highly recommend Holiday World.

But today rained. That sucked. We started out in the water park this year, and that was OK. Rain in swim trunks works fine. But I'm a fan of the rides and not water rides. I was there for about 2 hours or so. But after riding some rides, it started to down pour. I would have left with my uncle, brother, and cousin, but I had a key to my locker for the swim stuff. Let me tell you about the key. My brother and I were sharing an amusement park lockers for our clothes and stuff. Well after we were done swimming, we decided to return the key and get the deposit. But then mom made me go over and beg for the key back. Thankfully enough, they gave it back. The staff is also incredibly friendly.

So it rains, and I wait it out. I go on many rides, and then watch the diving show. It was a good day. Everyone should go to Holiday world. If not for the good prices and fun rides, for the free pop. Well I need to end it here. I've been taking many pictures of there cats in search for the perfect lolcat. Later.
 
day 4
Day 4, I haven't been on a computer except to fix my aunts today. More on that later. I can't access my personal email because it wont load on my ds. I am forgetting what it's like to type with my fingers instead of pecking. Depressing mission log over. Time for fun blog.
Well I woke up earlier than everyone today. Wouldn't be a problem, but it was a good 3 hours before everyone woke up and everyone was asleep in a room with the only T.V.s. I can only make my backpack o fun and a book work for so long. I went stir crazy.
Well now for fun stuff. Today I went to one of the last restaurants to have brain sandwiches. You heard me right, brain sandwich. Deep fried pig brain on a bun with pickles. I love them but they aren't for everyone. Here are the pictures.

I also went duzing with my Uncle Duz. Since it isn't his real name, I'll use what we all call him. We weren't able to go dumpster diving because it wasn't Sunday, but we had fun looking at all that he picked. It's amazing what people throw out. I took a bunch of pictures of the stuff, and plan to send them to American Pickers. They're doing this contest where if you send in a video of your stuff, they may come and pick you. Here are pictures of what I found.
(Awesomeness to much for this blog. Just wait for when the American pickers come and we're on TV.)

Then we had a firework show tonight. It was really fun, especially since we can't do them back home. I lit off many, and so did my brother. We had like $100 of buy one get 2 free fireworks. It was a really good show.

Now earlier I mentioned that my aunt's lap top had a virus. It took my cousin, my uncle, and me to fix it. I diagnosed the problem and found no solution in sight. My cousin found a way to fix it, and my uncle found the way to get the Internet to work on all wireless signals. It takes a family to fix a computer. I should shower and go to bed now. Later.

day...I forget
As the title implies, I have forgotten what day of this journey is. Since I can't go back to blogs, just go with it.
Well today was our last day with the relatives. Yesterday night we watched boomerang until 12 midnight, which for me equates to 1 am. We watched Jonny Quest and Penelope Pitstop. I was surprised as to the amount of violence and political incorrectness in Jonny Quest, but then again it was a different time. Penelope Pitstop was so ridiculous it was funny.

Well today I woke up at the same time as my brother and cousin and we watched T.V. We packed up once everyone else got up and moving. We left after our good byes. Oh, but before the leaving, we went to this amazing Chinese buffet. It had the best steak and teriaky beef I ever had buffet wise. Actually best teriaky beef ever. They also had this chocolate fountain. It was an amazing buffet, and clean and large too. The crazy buffet was the name.

Please pardon my jumpiness, but it was a long week and I miss my bed. Well tonight we're staying in this really nice best western. The room key is this like radio wave thing like at the flash your card at the check out. No magnetic swipe strip. This one isn't just going in the collection with the rest. It also has this really nice breakfast as it would seem. It also has an expensive coffee maker in the room. Here's a picture.

There was also a really nice pool. I looked at it, but didn't swim. Why didn't I swim? Because I'm not a big fan of swimming. I'm also quite tired so I wouldn't have had much fun anyways. I'm content to just blog and watch the season premier of Futurama on Comedy Central. I'm glad Viacom bought it since Turner doesn't know a good show when they have one. I'll get this posted when I get home. Later.
 
Day 6
Well I'm home. My copy of banjo kazooi and A bugs life for PlayStation work. Probably should clean my banjo game and rumble pack. Oh, and I'm on my lap top. Glad I'm home.

Mr. Party Animal

Woohoo, 4 graduation parties today. I am a party animal. I had my girlfriends, next door neighbors, friend of 15 years, and another friend. I'll tell them as they happened.

First was my friend of a few years. We met sophmore year, and have done many school projects together. I arived at the begining so it was just me, her family, and some of her friends I don't know. Since she gets overwhelmed easily, she was quite happy with the small size. Having had my party already, I made sure to tell her that the worst has yet to come and you will have many people. I spent about an hour there, 30 minutes of which was spent talking with her dad. We just talked about plans for next year and video game set ups.

Well after hers, I went to my girlfriends. I spent the most time at hers, 3 hours, as I probably should have. It was fun. She had mainly family, but eventually my best friend and one of her friends showed up and things got really interesting. As many of you probably know, I keep my language and jokes quite clean. For those of you who don't, well now you know. I make many situation based jokes, and I'm quite good at it getting laughs most of the time. Well aparently I'm a riot even when I'm not trying to. Aparently to people who have their minds in the gutter, some things I say are hilarious. Well I would give you an example, but I was clueless to the things. Ask my girlfriend, darkenedoptimist for examples. Tell her Pokematic sent you. Well after the crazyness, it became a giant game of "take my hat." I am very protective of my hat, and go crazy when I get it taken from me. I don't care who you are, if you have my hat, I will fight you for it. Aparently the reaction is funny, but it's bulying by definition. Cause a reation out of someones pain for your enjoyment. Well I was there for about 3 hours.

Now was time for my next party, my friend of 15 years. Just a reminder, I am 18, so that means we have been friends since we were 3. Ironically enough, I spent more time with friends he invited then him. That's probably partially due to the fact that he was running every which to be with everyone. I spent most of the time with friends that he invited. It was cool since many of them graduated last year and that was fun. I also talked with some scout dads and impressed one with my set up of 10 videogame consols.

Well I had one last one, and it was my next door neighbor. We used his canopy fly for mine, then took it back over to his for his. We exchanged some witty banter about how "I lived so far away" and other funny crap like that. I also had a very short conversation with some guys on writing thank-you notes. Mainly I just hung out with the teens and had fun for about 2 hours.

Well that was my party fun. I origionally wrote half of this on my dsi browser and sent to the secrit email. But through a glich, it wouldn't send, to any of my 3 emails or save in drafts. Oh well.

No more thank-yous and pokemon toys

Oh man, today was a great day. I finished thank-you notes!!!! Here's a video of me celebrating.



Well then I went to buy the pokemon toys at McDonalds. I bought 2. My gosh happy meal toys by themselves have gotten expencive. I remember when they were $1, but now they are $2. It's more cost effective to buy the damn happy meal. I plan to get them all anyways, and keep then in package. The lady at McDonalds looked at me kind of funny when I said I wanted the toy. Oh well, that's me. Wish me luck in my quest to colect them all. Later.

Remembering hypnotism and was that 42nd street

Hi everyone, might I say that last night was really weird. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or get a drink of water, I am typically able to fall back asleep really quickly. Well last night I had some trouble falling back asleep. I think I had heart burn, or just some acid reflex, or something that made the bottom back of my throat feel like it was burning with stomach acid. In my drowsy state, my logical way of solving it was to drink a lot of water, but that just made me need to pee 15 minutes later. About another 15 minutes later, I realize what it is, so I go down stairs and have half a tum. That helps, but my mind still won't shut up for another 25 minutes or so. Here's what was going through my mind all this time.
Remember how I talked about the hypnotist at the all night party with my school? Well I was imagining if I didn't keep my mouth shut when I was in the group hypnotism. I imagined if I asked why my arms were inverses, then he asked me to sit up on stage, and then do the glue thing. I imagined if I did yell "I am hulk" when I did pull my hands apart. He then hypnotized me, and I did the things where he "connected our minds," which I still thinks is bull. Apparently when hypnotized, he connected the 11 saps on stages minds and when he tapped one, the rest knew where he tapped without him talking. Well I believe I have an incredibly strong and uncontrollable subconscious and unconscious. I think he told us the wrong conscious that he uses in hypnotism. If it were subconscious the people would have some knowledge of what happened but they had no knowledge, so I think it was unconscious. Anyways, if I didn't have my crazy strong uncontrollable unconscious, I wouldn't have been able to pull my hands apart. Where was I? Oh yeah, the linked minds. Well I imagined if I was connected with everyone else, and I ended up taking over. I was blabbering things about him being a quack, and everyone was saying it in sync with me. He then disconnected all our minds, and made me 4 years old like in the show. This deserves its own paragraph.
Well let me start out by saying that age regression is a myth, so I ended up telling him that, and explained how it was just making me think I believed I was 4, and I made little sense. But I went on and on, he interrupted me, and this is what I said "you interrupted me, now I need to start all over again." As a 4 year old, and up until maybe 7, I NEVER shut up. My grandparents tell me stories about how on the way to a family reunion when I was 4, I didn't stop talking from the time we started, all the way to the hotel, for 2 hours. And whenever I was talking to my cousins, and they interrupted me, I always told them "you interrupted me, now I need to start all over again." I always did. I don't think much has changed; I just have greater control of it now. OK so back story out of the way, he asked me why I was doing this, and I in depth explained how I had ADHD, but my parents don't know that yet. He told me there was an audience of teenagers out there, and as a little kid, I was afraid of teenagers. I start crying and hide behind the chairs. I don't remember how he got me back in front of everyone, but he did, and more hilarity happened. All I remember was that we "went on a trip to the zoo" and I wouldn't sit still "on the bus" and when I went by the snakes, we were supposed to lift up our legs because the snakes came crawling near our feet. Well even at that age, I loved snakes. Instead of lifting my legs, I "bent over, picked one up, and started showing it off to everyone."
Now I probably would have continued to imagine all the show, but I wanted to go to sleep. It was almost 5 in the morning, and I started at about 4. I wanted my sleep! So I tried shutting up my running mind, but to no real avail. I realized that my subconscious and unconscious have some part of my conscious, of which I have some control but little control over. Well here's how I shut it up. I personified my conscious as catholiccontriversy, my unconscious as happy gamer, and subconscious as Pokematic. First catholiccontriversy beat them both up. Happy gamer gave up after that, but Pokematic didn't want to give up without a fight. So I thought of a really boring repeatable activity. I counted dishes coming out of the dish washer. But I wasn't counting. It was more like; "plait goes in the plait pile, cup goes on the shelf." It was mundane, repetitive, and just what I needed to shut Pokematic up. I did that for a while, and I felt myself fall asleep. Oh yeah, another cool thing about me. If I try hard enough and do it just right, I can actually remember falling asleep. It's really cool.
So now for my weird dream. I was in the pit orchestra of a show I was in the pit orchestra for back in the beginning of the school year. That show, was 42nd street. But something was...off. For starters, the pit wasn't very deep. In fact it probably only went down 2 1/2 feet, and I was facing the stage able to see the whole show. Now the weirdness doesn't stop there. None of the songs we played were actually from the play, except for dames which was only that in name. It sounded nothing like the actual song dames, but I had a solo which was cool. Another thing was no main characters from the play. There was no Peggy, no Dorthy, no Juline Marx, no billy lawyer, no anyone. Then there were only a few instruments in the pit. I remember there being me, the trombone, a French horn, and a trumpet, and maybe a flute. There wasn't the super important piano. The piano is so important to the music of 42nd street, that we had 2 players when we actually did it. One really strange thing is that I got lost while playing. I'm not saying I never get lost, that would be inhuman, but always during rehearsal and practice, never during the performance. It was as if I was hearing the music for the first time. Well the crazy play ended before it was supposed to end. I still had "the money of a student" to play. I wonder if that was somehow supposed to be "we're in the money." It either stopped because my internal sleep timer said I had my 8 hours or because things were getting to weird, even for my dreams. Chances are it was because I was aware of how weird things were. That's a new one even for me. It was as if I was in a parallel universe, as myself and not my parallel self like I normally am.

Well I better get to writing than-you notes. Later and I hope you enjoyed.

My Video Site is now Public and aneversary with my girlfriend

Hey everyone, after many months, our video site is now public. Click the link below to go to it.  http://ccpandhgvideos.blogspot.com/2010/12/home.html

OK, I get that the link thing is similar to all the public betas that I did. Here's what's making it public. On all my video channels, aka dailymotion, metacafe and YouTube, I put the link to the home page as my "URL" on my info box. It's still probably full of bugs, but that's what fans are for.

Now for a fun story. I got this free 2 meal and 2 fountain drinks coupon in a raffle to Noodles and Company. We have been going out for 3 months, so a great anniversary celebration was to go there and use it. I had a triple with butter noodles, beef, and chicken noodle soup. She had some kind of noodles, tofu, and some kind of tomato soup I think. Don't kill me for not caring, I'm not my grandparents yet. We had some conversation, half of which was what was mortifying for each gender. It was kind of embarrassing, so I won't give details. I recommend Noodles and Company to anyone. It's amazing. And our closest Noodles and Company is in this cool little city that is comparable to a bustling down town city. It has high rise apartment buildings, a movie theater, many stores and boutiques, and is full of characters.

Well, this was a cool day. Later everyone.

Back to the old stomping grounds and chooseing my leaders

Hey everyone, today started out boring like the rest of my mornings this week. I got up, ate my muffin, and started writing thank-you notes. I also cleaned some paint off my car. When it's all clean, I'll take a picture. But then things got slightly interesting.

I had some teachers from school come to my graduation party and they gave me gifts. I wrote them thank-you notes, and since we don't have their addresses, I had to deliver to school. Now at my school, seniors get out 3 or so weeks earlier then the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. School hasn't gotten out yet for them, so going back to deliver the thank-yous I saw some of my underclassmen friends. I wore my safety vest so people would recognise me. Since I wasn't a student there anymore, I figured the rules didn't quite apply to me. Well, at least the no hat rule. I wore my hat, and no one cared. It was right before the day let out, so by the time I got everything delivered, everyone was out in the hall. I ran into some of my friends, and it was cool. I actually heard someone say "I thought he graduated." It was kind of funny and weird all at the same time.

Well after that, I went over to city hall to register to vote. I took an hour break between then, but anyways, went to go register to vote. But unfortunately for me, city hall was closed from 1 to 2 to save money. I got there at 1:16, so that means I had to go kill an hour. I watched Seinfeld on crackle. I then went back and registered once it was past 2. I am now registered to vote for my leaders, and can complain about my leaders when they screw up. I don't believe that you have a right to complain about your leaders if you don't vote, because you had your chance to say who you wanted in office and make a difference, but you chose not to. Now I just need to wait till I'm 35 and I can run for president. I'm going to run under the Pokematic party. Our views are similar to republicans, but with differences, so all you democrats better fight to get us on the ballet so I can pull votes from republicans. One step at a time though.

Later, and remember, Pokematic For President.

Want to know how boring my life can be?

Hey everyone. Want to hear about my boring day? Well if you do, and some how you aren't my mom, I am creating another blog where I will just talk about my day. The truly interesting things will still get put up on this blog, but because I love blogging so much and I'm not gifted enough to have a interesting life day in and day out, I am creating a blog that is just my boring day. Things are always slightly interesting; I mean I have an interesting life most of the time. But I can't be interesting 100% of the time or keep interesting enough to not repeat, so I have this new boring blog for my daily drag.

Now that you know why I made it, here's how I got the name. Every dinner, my mom wants "3 minutes of eye contact and to hear about our days." The name I chose was "your 3 minutes" as a joke of that. I will need to give it to her for a mothers day gift or something when I go off to college. Well if you're interested at all, here's the link. http://your3minutes.blogspot.com/

This is all so I can keep this blog interesting, and I will probably post crazy amounts of product placement and ads too. Later everyone. And remember, keep it interesting.
