Got some bad news and bad news and good news and band news.

Been pretty busy lately, so no official new episode of UF this week.

However, the cartoon is getting an "upgrade," and will be better quality, but will take longer to make.

SO, I've decided I won't post the legit episodes until I get 100 (one hudred) subscribers to my channel.

Take as long as you please.

Also, PTRE might do some shows soon I guess, so check that out.

"How legit is the new UF" you ask?

Well, just take a look at this intro I threw together...

...WITH MY BARE HANDS!!!

Be sure to turn the volume up, too.

Just kidding, there's no audio, so stop trying.

I SAID STOP TRYING!!!

Just watch it over and over until you get so hyped about the new awesome episodes that you will get 1,337 people to subcribe overnight.

Yup

2012-01-21T22:53:00.000-08:00

This is shorter than I expected, but I guess that's kind of a good thing, since people don't have the attention spam like they used to.

I'M BACK, LET'S PARTY!!! ....AGAIN!!!

2012-01-14T20:07:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's been 3 weeks since anything new. I guess I was on vacaSHIZZLE I guess. Yesterday was Friday the 13th, and it would have been cool if I had made the 13th episode of UF that day, soooo let's pretend that I did.

And a little quick freestyle to show how sorry I feel that you were deprived of UF for 3 weeks.

And here's a little .gif a friend made for me. I like it a lot, and I think you will too.

CLICK THIS TO SEE THE AWESOMENESS!!!

I don't know how to embed the image. I guess I'm not as nerdy as I hoped I was.

Actually, turns out blogger doesn't support .gifs. So, yeah, ok.

Merry Christmas!

2011-12-17T15:11:00.000-08:00

Sorry I didn't make a new episode of UF last week. You didn't deserve it. Or maybe you did. I don't remember. Anyways (I know it's "anyway," butt I don't care. I'll spell how I want, thankyouverymutch), here's the new episode.

And if you loved the song, or couldn't hear it, here's the full video to that.

If you wanna autotune this and make me famous, I'm totally cool with that.

Sorry

2011-12-10T22:23:00.000-08:00

Believe me. I was gonna make a new UF episode this week, but I'm tired. I know you all hate me now, especially since last week was a cliffhanger. But I'll make it up to you, probably. But I also want you to make it up to me. You see, I only have 48 subscribers to Youtube. I think that's disappointing to everyone.

Think about it while you enjoy this:

I'M BACK, LET'S PARTY!!!

2011-12-03T21:57:00.000-08:00

ok, ok, chill.

As you might have figure out, my friend from sbboard didn't make that comic he promised he was gonna make because it's "too long" or he's "kinda lazy" or "doesn't have arms right now." But he will probably get around to it and I'll let y'all know when he does. Anywayzzz, here's a reference to last weeks episode. It's not the same story from UF, but it has the same delivery team characters. It's pretty funny.

http://sbboard.com/2011/02/fedup-1-1/

Yeah that's right, I didn't hyperlink it, I just gave you the link strait up. Take THAT society!

I was gone so I couldn't post last week, and I know most of you are DYING to see the TENTH EPISODE OF UNDEAD FRIENDS!!!

(*cue firework sounds*)

I wanted to make this one awesome, and I was afraid it would be too long, so I cut it in half to make it a cliffhanger so it would be just the right length. You won't mind, because this is a pretty awesome episode, and next week is gonna be just as awesome, provided you get me 1,000 subscribers by next Saturday.

So, without further adizzle, the rest of your life:

[you probably already figured this out, but if you play this episode backwards, you can distinctly hear an old man saying "pizza rolls"]

2011-11-19T17:39:00.000-08:00

So, this week, since you guys aren't DOING YOUR JOB!!!, I put matters into my own hands. Don't worry, there IS a new episode of UF this week, but what I've done is I did one of them awesome CROSS PROMOTIONS!!! What's that you say? Don't like cross promotions? Don't like caps lock? TOO BAD!!! Team Fortress 2 does it all the time.

So, my friend does this pretty cool webcomic with 6 other comic writers. It's on sbboard.com. Click the TV icon at the top of the screen, that's the one he writes. The whole cross promotion thing is that UF featured characters from his comic on sbboard this week, and vice versa. And VICE VERSA I SAID!!! So tomorrow he's gonna post the same story that happened in UF#9 in comic form, only it's gonna show the story on HIS characters' side! I'M JUST AS EXCITED AS YOU ARE!!!

Oh yeah, almost forgot. I'm sorry that this Thanksgiving you'll have something that you won't be grateful for. Next week I will be out of town, and I probably won't be able to post anything new. *sad face.*

But that's ok! That just gives you more time to show your all your buddies how to subscribe to my channel after checking out UF and sbboard, right?! heh heh...*pathetic laugh.* Seriously though, don't let me down.

Happy November 11th 2011!!! AND IT'S FRIDAY!!!

A gentleman from the dorm provided me with some paper, which was nice of him. He's featured as the sponsor and "musician" of this next episode of UF.

Also, it was one of my friend's "funeral" the other day. Turns out he wasn't really dead, it was all a hoax. But hopefully you'll enjoy this part of the service.

Have a great 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UF#7 / Deep but not Profound

2011-11-06T15:30:00.000-08:00

Sorry, I usually don't post things on Sunday, but seeing as I have a bunch of daylight savings hours I've saved over the years, I figure I'll just use those to go back in time so I can post this on Friday or Saturday. That sentence was long, if you didn't notice there, this one's a haiku.

So this week I didn't get any subscribers to my channel OR paper in the mail. However, this weekend was really awesome and I'm in a good mood. Since this post is so late this week, here's a new episode of UF, and a 20 minute video of what we do on Sunday.

I don't expect you to watch all of this...well, actually I do. You have the responsibility to learn all information in this video.

Yeah this is what we do on Sundays. Actually this is the first time we've played "Deep but not Profound," but you know what I mean, we're just chillin' out, as they say.

Happy Halloween!!!

2011-10-28T18:46:00.000-07:00

And what's a Halloween without a special episode of...

UNDEAD FRIENDS!

Yeah, sorry it's shorter than usual this time. I'm kinda running out of paper. If you want to mail me some notebooks that would be awesome. If you did that, I will put you in an episode or something nice like that. Here is my mailbox address:

Parker Kelly

P.O. Box 2315

Ephraim, UT 84627

You better not mail me some stupid poop, ya hear?

Also, while you're in the scary Halloween O Lantern mood, here's another video made by some dorm buddies of mine. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, which was very much indeed.

UF#5

2011-10-22T21:59:00.000-07:00

It's the Undead Friends FIVE-IVERSERY!!! (I don't know what that means) First ever 5 minute episode! Everyone gimme a nickel! It also references a big fan of this show, who I also know in real life, who is also Asian. She has a blog about it, or something. It's pretty cool I guess.

Sorry if that was too loud.

UF#4 / Jimmy Fallon?!?!

2011-10-15T23:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry I'm late. This weekend has been busy I guess...or lazy? I dunno. Anyway, if you stayed up all night refreshing this page to see if there was a new episode of Undead Friends, hey, more power to ya! But I'm probably not that famous...yet.

Also, I'm not sure if you've watched Jimmy Fallon recently, but he has this new game show thing called Ready, Set, Flow. Basically, it's a freestyle rap contest. As many of you may know, freestyle rapping is one of of my 347 hobbies (definitely in the top ten). So I made this audition video for Jimmy himself to see if I can get on his game show thing.

The problem is I don't know Jimmy, so if any of you know him, please send this to him. Thanks.

UF episode 3

2011-10-08T14:50:00.001-07:00

Good news everyone. Hans free'd me, and since you good little kittens humored me with some more subscribers, I made another episode of Undead Friends! Whoopee!

And because you waited TWO WHOLE WEEKS for this new episode, I made it longer than THE LAST TWO EPISODES COMBINED!!!! That's a good thing right? You like this show enough to watch all four minutes and thirty seconds, right? It's practically like 2 episodes in one right? You like it when I say right, right?

So if you couldn't hear what my room mate, Stephen, was saying the second time I told him to keep drumming. He was just getting bored and said he was running out of ideas for drumming stuff or something.

So in the meantime, if you want me to be rich, but don't want to give me money, there is a fairly simple solution: Subscribe, and convince your friends, and threaten your enemies to subscribe. 44 subscribers so far, which is cool I guess, but I have more fb friends than that. I'm not saying that I want all my fb friends to subscribe, I just want all YOUR fb friends to subscribe! And most of the time I have less views than fb friends. Oh will you listen to me complain? I feel like a slimy used car salesman.

How does this blog device work, again?

2011-09-30T18:52:00.000-07:00

Hello. Parker couldn't be here today, so this is Hans filling in for him.

I know you probably wanted another episode of that one show with a vampire and zombie and a werewolf and a zombie...

But the problem is, well, ah just watch this I guess.

Please subscribe! I fear for Parker's health. If 5 more people don't subscribe soon, I can't let him out of the small room with clothes. If I don't release him soon, he might die of starvation, suffocation, or a mix of both.

Undead Friends Episode 2

2011-09-22T21:17:00.000-07:00

Because of popular request (and by "popular," I mean three or four people telling me they "think cartoons are cool, I guess"), I have decided to make another episode of Undead Friends! Be so excited, this episode is kinda good this time! And probably MORE THAN 30 SECONDS LONGER!!!

I was turning the "dot dot dot..." and the end into some exclamation points...just if you were wondering.

So here's the deal, since I posted a few days early since I'm doing a PTRE show this weekend, and because I produce such a great cartoon to an audience that doesn't pay me, I've decided that if you want to find out what happens to Mummy, I need 10 MORE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL BY NEXT WEEK!

Hahahahahahahaha, evil laugh and stuff. That's right, I'm pulling that same stunt I did with the head shaving post that I posted not to long ago. But this time I know FOR SURE that you want to see another episode.

So next time you're with your friends showing each other awesome youtube videos, remember to chime in and say, "dude, have you ever watched Undead Friends?!?! it's pretty cool, man." And they'll be all like, "ok, we'll watch that (and subscribe) as soon as we're done watching nyan cat." And then you'll be like, "nooooooo! watch it now!!!!!!!!!"

Seriously guys, the pilot episode of UF only has 41 views, and I'm pretty sure half of those alone are just me watching it over and over laughing at my own jokes. Pretty lame, right?

Undead Friends

2011-09-17T19:18:00.000-07:00

I was gonna make a different video to try to advertise for more subscriptions, but I guess I'll do that in a week or two.

Anywayzzzz, me and a buddy had an idea back in the day for a tv cartoon show. I thought I'd share a storyboard with you.

I also realize that people are naturally drawn to stories, and not random poop, which is basically what I've been making mostly. So if you wanna see another episode (or possibly a whole season) of Undead Friends, just say so.

Lets just pretend that after the end it said "on the next episode of Undead Friends, Mummy gets kidnapped by someone claiming he "belongs in a museum." Nobody cares until they realize he's the only one who knows the combination to the safe with his gold they use to pay the rent for the house they already own!"

Shaved

2011-09-10T18:02:00.000-07:00

So, I got 10 subscriptions since last Saturday, so if you've read the previous post, you know what that means!

If that video is too long for your attention span, here's the 5 second version

Some of you may want to shield your eyes.

So keep up the subscriptions! It makes me feel special.

2011-09-05T11:57:00.001-07:00

Sorry it's been more than a week. I usually stay on top of things. But don't worry, your patience will be rewarded...

And now

Yet another commission to write a rap for a family member...or two.

This one goes out to My sistah-in-law and that guy she's married to who is my brutha.

So about that last part about me shaving my head. My sister stopped filming (on purpose) before I could talk about NEXT WEEK'S VIDEO!!! It may or may not involve me shaving my head. However, my family strongly discourages it, even though I'm an adult now and I can decide what that means. So I decided to take their advice and not go through with it...

BUT, I've been speaking with Hans, and I think he's willing to give it a shot. But UNDER ONE CONDITION: He will only do it if 10 people (or more) subscribe to my Youtube channel pkplaceDOTblogspot. <--click that, yo!

Did you hear that? Let me try to make this more clear:

IF TEN OR MORE PEOPLE SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL BY NEXT WEEK, HANS WILL SHAVE HIS HEAD IN NEXT WEEK'S VIDEO!!!

So stop hiding me under a bushel basket and go tell your friends about this! I'm sure they're really board and have nothing to do but catch up on all of my posts.

Girls and Dogs Hunt in Packs

2011-08-26T20:07:00.000-07:00

I'm at college now. This is kinda a sneak at my dorm, while Hans answers an important question

People here are cool and stuff.

Next person to ask a question gets a "FREE" exclusive interview with Arthur Miller!!!

Needles!

2011-08-16T12:24:00.000-07:00

My brother randomly walked into this one. He pops his face in at the end. I'm not sure if you can hear him laughing and mocking me when a "surprise" occurs. I don't want to spoil it any further. Just watch.

I hope the humor makes up for the poopy lighting.

"*ehem* any quesitons?"

BOO!

2011-08-09T15:45:00.000-07:00

I was gonna post yesterday, but my internet was being a poop.

So a friend of mine has this strange dog that basically rubs its body on your neck and face whenever you call it's name and blow air at it. Nobody knows why it does this, but apparently it's been doing it since it was a puppy or something. The process is called "getting Boo'd."

Hans shows the process in these videos:

The rule in this dog's household is if you want to eat food there, you must first be "Boo'd," which is why Hans does it here:

Also, PTRE did a show last week, and this time I made an individual video for each song, so you don't have to search too hard for the one you like. The playlist for it is here.

EDIT: oh yeah, ask Hans a question if you want to...I guess.

Manual Labor

2011-08-01T10:12:00.000-07:00

As I have promised (or did I?), here is a "viewer suggestion induced" video. I just couldn't wait to post it!

To tell the truth, whatever name was picked, I would have gone with the Groucho Marx look anyway.

So go ahead, ask another question in the comments!

More Summer Fun!

2011-07-29T09:42:00.001-07:00

Sorry it's been more than a week since my last post. Access to a computer/tf2 has been limited.

Ever eaten shaved ice? Tasty, right? Nobody has ever solved the secret...until now:

Also, on top of that, I will do something I have always wanted to do, but never been able to.

I WILL NOW TAKE SUGGESTIONS FOR NEW VIDEOS!!!

WhaaaaaaAAaaAAaat?!?! *record scratch sound* *people gasping*

That's right, the first person who comments on this post gets to ask a question on their choice to one of these people:

Victor
Brutus
Hans
??????
The count with a scar, I can never remember his name.

Yes, it'll be similar to Strong Bad Email, but different.

Cardboard Crusader

2011-07-20T15:32:00.000-07:00

Cardboard Crusader is my "gamertag" on Steam. The only game I play is Team Fortress 2, but whatever. (My backpack can be found here if you're interested.)

Anyway, some buddies of mine are doing a medieval battle this weekend, with foam swords and whatnot, so I made this threatening video to put them in their place.

[beats by MF Doom]

Summer Time Fun!

2011-07-13T15:21:00.000-07:00

Everyone seems to be talking about the summer and things about it. For example: the weather, how hot it is, the sun shining, playing outside, grass growing, etc.

Just a few minutes ago, I discovered a bothersome controversy relating to this moment in time: Snow Cones, the Ice-Cream Cone's jealous brother. The snow cone calls himself a cone, when, in actuality, is found in cup form 80% of the time.

^^^This is disgraceful^^^

I don't think anyone would be confused if we started calling these "snow cups," because that's what they are. Legally, if someone says they are selling you a snow cone, and hand you a cup, you should get your money back, due to false advertising.

It's not that hard to find actual cones. Stop ripping us off! Or at least be honest and say you are selling "snow cups."

I didn't mean to rage this long to get to the conclusion, but it really is a bothersome issue for me.

Here is a little summertime snack I made today.

a shout-out to JKRgamer for commenting on this video minutes after I posted it. You're the best!

Water Balloon Hunting

2011-07-06T22:12:00.001-07:00

So, in Australia, where there are kangaroos, they go hunting for other things. For example, water balloons. There are many species, and some of them migrate to the United States. I even found a couple in my back yard!

The Human Volcano

2011-06-25T09:56:00.001-07:00

I'm back from the great land of Germany, but instead of boring you all with hours of footage, I decided to actually entertain you instead. (but don't worry, I'll eventually post all the stuff I filmed while I was there)

The new "Meet the Medic" video has inspired me. Therefore I have conducted an experiment, in the name of science. I hope you will enjoy it.

Here in Germany

2011-06-10T09:40:00.000-07:00

June 10, 2011

yesterday was my sister+in+law's birthday (I prefur plus signes over the traditional minus ones)
tomorrow is MY birthday (or as the Germans say: ''Geburtstag'')

I will be 18, which means I will be able to buy as much dry ice and fireworks as I please. WERD.

For a second there when I clicked ''new post,'' it said ''page unavailable'' or something, but then I refreshed it so lucky for you (or not) I'm writing a new blogpost - LIVE FROM MEISSEN!!! or Lommatzsch (I hope that's the right spelling) to be more exact. I thought I was off the hook there, but to no avail.

So Germany is pretty awesome. I got a lot of footage, but I probably won't post hundreds of videos on youtube like what I did for Isreal (let's face it, posting all those were not fun for anybody). I'll probably throw them all in a pile and publish it as one long 2 hour video that 2 or less of you will even bother to watch.

So, those of you who know me may have seen me at the pillow concert doing goofy things. One specifically that many of you have been quothing (and yes, I mean quothing) is the infamous 'I trusted you.'' What bothers me is that about 99% of you have never seen the original. *sound of crowd booing.* Watch that joint, dag nabbit! You'll find that I can't bring the genius of Andy Kaufman to justice.

I'll be back soon, so until next time: Auf Wiedersehen!!!

Farewell (f'realz) PTRE

2011-05-29T02:29:00.001-07:00

Spoiler Alert! : This is a really long blog post which requires at least half an hour to fully experience it.

Aight, so as you all know, I'm going start heading over to Germany in about an hour and a half. It's 3:30am and some friends advised me to stay awake all night because it makes it easier to sleep on the plane, thus reducing the effects of jet lag.

So anydangway, PTRE did a gig tonight, (or last night, or whatever) and it was pretty dang dope. I'll be gone for 3 weeks, so instead of watching whatever "glee" episode you planned on watching, check out this video of REAL MUSIC we played at our concert instead:

Most people don't like watching themselves on video or hearing the sound of their own voice after being recorded. I am definitely NOT in that group. At the risk of sounding really narcissistic, I truly enjoy watching myself perform, especially with my buddies.

some funny facts about the show:
near the end of the video, around 21:48 to be exact. See those tambourine guys? If you look close, Jesse, the drummer, gets annoyed with what they're doing, and out of impulse and/or reflex, he throws one of his drumsticks at them so they stop making noise. So he drums with just one stick for a few seconds. Then they throw it back at him, he catches it, and continues drumming normally. I thought it was pretty hilarious and awesome.

Here is the playlist of the songs we did:

Medieval Maximus
Nation Procrastination
Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish
Ukulele Sized Problems
Neville (MC Chris cover)
Awkward Silence (inspired by Guster)
Cats in the Bag
Free Styles: Pokemon, Spongebob

Now that it's no longer a secret...

2011-05-27T09:53:00.000-07:00

...I can put post this video on my blog because you've already seen the flash mob, but I made this a while ago.

Also, I'm going to Germany for the next 3 weeks, so I may or may not post during that time. If I do post anything, it might be in a different language. Peace, peoples!

It's that time of year, and I've decided to do more research of this disease because of it's unique symptoms in different people.

Props to my sister Babs for the voice-over.

I think it looks pretty cool. I researched it and found out you can buy them online.

Battle of the Bands: Muse

2011-05-06T18:29:00.000-07:00

2011-04-30T19:10:00.000-07:00

At first you may think this scary, dangerous, and/or weird. I know my mom was nervous when I first started playing around with one. But to me, it is a purely non-violent activity, just like a yo-yo, but more fun. You can look up more info on the wikipedia article for butterfly knives.

Israel Update / Happy Easter!

2011-04-24T19:50:00.000-07:00

I decided to post ALL of the Israel clips on youtube. They can be found in this playlist which I have created with by bare hands. It's about an hour altogether. #44 is a good one to watch today.

Happy Easter!!!

Parking Lot Justice / Trolling

2011-04-20T16:00:00.000-07:00

When someone purposefully annoys and/or messes with someone in a multiplayer video-game it's called "griefing." A person who does similar actions on the internet (i.e. forums, blogs, Facebook, etc.) is referred to as a "troll." And yes, there are ways to do this in real life as well.

Here is an example of successful internet "trolling":

Troll: Justin Bieber is evil!
Girl: No he's not! Shut up! I hate you!

The troll has received the usual, angry response. This is called "feeding the troll," because they expect these types of negative feedback, and thrive on them.

Here is an example on unsuccessful "trolling":

Troll: Bieber is not talented!
Girl: I know what your doing. Stop trolling. Get a life.

Notice that the target has addressed the attempt of the troll, thus negating the effect, and "starving" the troll.

However, this is a simpler form of trolling. It is more common that a troll has more than one target. In fact, it is very frequent that trolls find a large community to irritate. When one recognizes what is happening, they say "Please don't feed the troll." And this seems to solve the problem, though there are some cases where people are so angry, they disregard such sound advice.

The reason I am talking about trolling is because it is, more or less, a metaphorical explanation of what happened in the video above.

Henry and Michael are the trolls. McKann and Ms. Henry are the targets. The rest are spectators. McKann, a very experienced high school student, recognized what was happening, saying, "I'm not falling for you're dumb jokes," the internet equivalent of "don't feed the troll." Ms. Henry, on the other hand, seemed to aim a more harsh and negative reply of "you can leave", which is what Henry and Michael wanted. After their contribution, they left the room, as it were, with their stomach satisfied.

2011-04-06T14:50:00.000-07:00

I have solved a problem many of us face. When we see something cheesy (like any mainstream music video) or corny (like any 80's music video) we have a way of showing our disapproval through a satirical and somewhat random video I have created with my bare hands.

You're welcome.

Some are not as popular as others.

But this one is the most famous.

This wall has an interesting history.

That's right, you get THREE vids this time!

When any video of any cat gets uploaded to youtube, there is a 9% chance it will go viral. That's 793% more than most videos! Thanks lolcats. You broke the internets.

We had this food everyday. It was so dang good. I miss it.

This is some back alley footage of one of the cleaner, less crowded parts of the Old City of Jerusalem.

What me and Thomas were talking about in this video is William's rock climbings skills and if he'd be able to climb the stone wall.

This is the outside area, it was like a castle. It felt like a mix between medieval times and starwars.

Awesome soldiers is awesome.

Embedding Magic! : Israel 4

2011-03-02T21:40:00.001-08:00

Believe it or not, I knew this was possible, I just didn't know how to do it. Turns out it is really easy.

This is the place we stayed at for most of the time. It was pretty dope.

ISRAEL: it's about time

2011-03-01T16:22:00.000-08:00

Some of you may or may not know that I had the pleasure of going to Israel last summer of 2010. It was fly. I got about an hour's worth of footage on my trusty ol' flip video camera 3000x HD super dooper .bla blah blah..... anydangway, I decided to share it with YOU! not all at once of course(cause nobody would watch it all straight and/or I don't wanna share all at once), but over time, and whatever. I'll probably share a clip or two a week or something. Without further atchoo:

We flew to New York, and from there we waited, and went outside.

Stay tuned for the next installment of! : THE ISRAEL TRIP OF THE CENtruh... whatever...I'm gonna stop trying.

Toothpaste Bubble

2011-02-25T19:54:00.000-08:00

During my before bedtime routine, after I take my bath, I brush my teeth. Pretty simple, right? But once in a while, a bubble forms when I spit. I can't say what magical science causes this, but one night I decided to record it. I hope you're not too grossed out.

2011-01-29T14:19:00.001-08:00

But maybe I am. This is comic from xkcd. If I had some fancy program like photoshop, I would replace the word "PROGRAMMER" to "FILM EDITOR" and change "CODE'S COMPILING" to "FILM'S RENDERING."Flip Video footage + Final Cut Pro = RIDICULOUSLY LONG TO RENDER!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry I just had to vent. Waiting for film to render makes me feel really unproductive.

My Evil Genius Plan

2011-01-24T20:23:00.000-08:00

We all have our dreams of what we would do if we were bad people taking over the world. And if not all of us...whatever, who cares.
First off, I would enhance these so called "global warmings" by tearing a hole in the ozone, melting Antarctica down to a desert state, claiming that territory, making a large beach gettaway. I will train the penguins to be waiters so I don't have to pay them for working because they're not human. Yes, I know it's a stretch, but I've had this idea for a while.
I came up with this idea recently, plus it's more realistic. I want to make a company that manufactures and sells crutches and wheelchairs. Then buy out all the other ones, forming a monopoly on all companies that make and distribute wheelchairs and crutches. Then, I will assemble a team of amateur mercenaries to go around the world breaking people's legs. Even if the government found out about it, they wouldn't be able to catch me, because their legs would be broken.

Breakfast in the Morning

2011-01-17T11:48:00.001-08:00

And by morning I mean 12am. Pancakes. No school, why not? End of story. There isn't much to say about it.

Also, this is awesome. Chances are you were involved with at least one of the 23,000,000 views, but it's worth watching again.

BST Anthrax Kill-of-the-Week

2011-01-10T20:40:00.000-08:00

Though I have been told it is the most epic of all. To quote HD "more epic than the Bourne Trilogy." I was flattered.

(Here is a reference if you don't know what BST is)
(Also, this is what I mean by anthrax)

So HD is sitting in some kinda history class with MC sitting close. A student walks in with a Little Caesars Pizza in her hand, and delivers it to HD. Everyone is staring. HD thinks "what the heck? why am I getting a pizza? who sent this to me?" He opens the lid of the box to find a pile of snow (aka anthrax) with a note that reads: "You thought this was a pizza, didn't you?" MC is impressed.

This is probably the best anthrax assassination I have ever pulled off. All I had to do was go to the main office and ask them to deliver a pizza to a student. It was awesome.

Wire

2010-12-28T00:19:00.000-08:00

A lot of people like photos on people's blogs. A lot of people also like mainstream music, but I'm not going to talk about that (oh, no way in HECKsville am I gonna go there...mainstream...*shudder and vomiting sound*). Anyways, to redeem myself for posting so many pictureless (spellcheck tells me that's not a word. SHUTTUP spellcheck, you're not a word eaither) posts, I have decided to put a bunch in this entry.This little guy is something I made out of wire, some kind of wizard knight casting a spell. (He's standing next to a quarter to put himself in perspective). Wire art is a little hobby I picked up that my older brother used to be into. It's pretty fun. It's like doodling in 3D, only it takes kind of a long time. Here are some other pics of some other projects. Woman in a dressGentlemen making a business deal (holy crap, it took so long to get them balanced, no pun intended)six sided die.

Whoever said a picture is worth a thousand words is full of crap. Nobody is gonna read a blog with over 4,000 words! If anything, a picture is worth less, which is why people like pictures so much cause it takes less effort to "read" them. Most pictures I can think of are only worth 5 words. 20 at the most.

Editing

2010-12-22T20:57:00.001-08:00

When I want to do something productive, but I don't want to go to school, do homework, or get up, I edit footage. Film is a hobby of mine, and basically my whole family is involved with film as well. Editing may seem like work to most people, but I find it both challenging and enjoyable (like video-games!). It is something I hope to do throughout my life, hopefully as an occupation, so I can make some freaking money already.

Here are the last 2 projects I've made. They can also be found on my youtube channel: pkplaceDOTblogspot.

Sarcasm

2010-12-18T09:16:00.000-08:00

As a very patriotic American, I support the long lost art of being sarcastic. However, it is a trick topic to write about, since the reader could be thinking all throughout the post, "Holy crap, is he being sarcastic or not? Is he actually pro-sarcasm? or does he hate it and is being sarcastic about it? Wha-PARADOX!!!" We can all agree that sarcasm is a difficult thing to talk about without being sarcastic. Like talking about sneezing, burping, hiccuping, and coughing at the same time, you cannot help yourself but to demonstrate what you think it would sound like (atch-*bughghg*hic*KHA!*). So, instead of being sarcastic with you, directly, as a reader, I will instead show some examples of sarcasm.

Example 1:
Random Stranger: Yeah, I've been to space! (being sarcastic)
Myself: Really? That's cool dude. (Also being sarcastic/playing along)
RS:No dude, Just Kidding! (thinking I wasn't being sarcastic/assuming I'm a dumkopf)

At this point the random stranger evades me, leaving me know time to explain myself: knowing he was sarcastic. But, we must also assume he knew I was playing along, at which point he decided to mess with me and my mind (which is something I would do, actually). Needless to say, I hate it when this happens.

Example 2:
Myself: You are such a horrible person (being sarcastic)
Clueless Girl: Shut up! No I'm not! (not understanding sarcasm)
M: Yeah you are! (etc.)
CG: OK fine, whatever...(catching on/joining sarcasm)
M:What? You admit it! Ah-Ha! (reverse reverse sarcasm)
CG: Wha- Oh my Gosh! (not understanding reverse reverse sarcasm)
And so on and so forth.

This one is my favorite. It seems like most girls understand American sarcasm just as well as most Europeans do, which is not much, at all (Please don't hurt me for saying so! I mean not to offend! Especially the Europeans, those guys are cool).

Procrastination

2010-12-13T16:46:00.000-08:00

It is such a beautiful thing. Why do people say otherwise? It confuses me. After spending all day catching up and getting grades back up, it really isn't that bad. After that I can look back and say "wow, I'm so glad I hung out with my friends, watched tv, and played video-games instead of wasting my time doing depressing mind numbing homework." If you think about it, procrastination is less stressful than always being on top of things. That's probably so many people do it. There shouldn't be too much shame in doing so.

Procrastinators of the world...UNITE!!!

PTRE / BST

2010-12-08T14:19:00.000-08:00

So Prime Time Real Estate performed today after school. It was a really fun show.

So in Back-Stab-Tag, we are always looking for new methods to achieve a successful assassination/tag. I came up with one that is available, but has not yet been used: MOBILE ATTACK!!! Step 1) Locate your target and make sure they don't see you. Step 2) Call/Text them, describing their location. Step 3) If they can't find you in 5 minutes, they're it!

Last night I had a dream that I was on some kinda futuristic train to the west. It had some kinda belt, kinda like a baggage claim at the airport, only people walked on it to get to places faster. I got to this house to do some weird chores. I remember it being mostly made of glass, and there were 2 kinda big dogs making me nervous. After trying to escape them, more started appearing. I eventually evaded them by jumping out of the TV (apparently I was in a TV world). It was wack.

The number of people in my band has doubled. At first it was just me and another friend, now there are 4. One for ever word in the name of our band. It is kind of a hip-hop/ska/jazz/rap kinda thing. It is fun to play, and we are probably going to perform more that we have in the past, now that we have more people and it's legit. Music is so much fun. PTRE has become an awesome band.

Things you should never say

2010-11-29T14:37:00.000-08:00

"I think you owe Hitler an apology"

Dang it. That's all I can come up with right now. I'm pretty sure school destroyed my imagination.

EDIT: I just searched searched the first sentence of this entry in quotes on google. 4 results popped up. This blog was one of them.

Trailers / LOTR

2010-11-27T14:22:00.000-08:00

I had a dream that there were large camper trailers made of wood from Yellowstone Park. They were big, and people could stand up while driving them. Some old man told me they were vintage and that they didn't make them anymore.

I watched Fellowship of the Ring last night. It has been a while since I have seen that movie. Watching it with my dad is fun, cause I get to explain what is going on and stuff. It makes me want to go LARPing, which I have never tried before. Authors renditions of wizards are interesting. I like Harry Potter, but it seems like it doesn't take much to cast spells. All it really takes is concentration, and the amount of spells are endless. They can even teleport aka "disaperate." The wizards in LOTR seem more wise, even though there is not that many spells they can do, like the ones in HP. I think wizards should work harder to do what they do. Not just to develop skills, but when any spell is cast, I think there should be some sort of payment, like mana. Wizards should harvest mana and store it in something that will allow them to cast spells. I could go on for hours, but you get the idea...whoever you are...

Random Thought

2010-11-26T10:34:00.000-08:00

I woke up this morning with this thought in my head:

"The palm of my hand is like the nose of Moses, so when I slap you in the face, it's ok, because it is like Moses is rubbing his nose against your cheek."

It made more sense to me when I was barely awake than it does now.

Yet another BST update

2010-11-24T14:53:00.000-08:00

It is Thanksgiving Break, which means we only had 2 days of school(which is one of the many things I am thankful for). And both days I won all of the BST games I was involved with.

Here are some available scores:
JJ vs. DH 0-3
PK(me) vs. HD, MC, DH 2-0, 2-0, 2,0.
and my streak continues...

Kill of the week goes to yours truly, for tagging MC and HD at the same time. Two birds, one stone, as they say.

Also, we have added a new weapon to the game: ANTHRAX!!! Simply slip a message into someones folder or backpack, and when they open it up to find that 7-letter word in all caps, they know they are IT. It obviously has it's flaws, but it does add a good twist to the game.

Happy Turkey-Day, party people!

Back-Stab-Tag Weekend Update

2010-11-20T09:42:00.000-08:00

This week was a complete shut-out against HD aka "Hank da Tank". I won 5-0. However, I must say, even though he lost, HD gets top assassination of the week: Hiding under the table for two minutes after the substitute called roll and grabbing my leg when I was late to class. Well played! (I pathetically tagged him back at night when we happened to be at the same showing of the school musical.)

I have started 2 other games against MC and DH on Friday. It was a hard fight, but I managed to defeat DH, though MC won by default because I could just not find him.

This game is a success, I think, because there are other games being played that I have not been involved with. MC vs. HD and DH vs. JJ. The latter I had no participation of the initiation of the game. May the best ninja /assassin / spy win!

Dinseyland / Intervention

2010-11-18T21:24:00.001-08:00

Act I: Last night's dream
I was walking through Disneyland with some friends, then I somehow got separated from the group. It was kinda scary. There were literally no people in the in sight, and the parking lot was empty. Suddenly, Walt Disney himself runs down the road away from a riot of people, and commands me to get into his van. He's freaking out and tells me "We are bankrupt." I'm thinking, what does he mean? What is he talking about? He responds to my confusion by saying something like "The theme park is a lie, the real money is in drug dealing." So while I was thinking about this dream I had, I came up with this conspiracy theory: The real reason Walt Disney made his own theme park was to make a safe place where he could sell drugs to the Mafia. That way, he would be safe, and nothing would go wrong.

Act II: The consequences of skipping school
So our school came up with this thing called intervention. It is a time where you can go to a class that you need help in, or go to a depressingly boring assembly. They don't keep attendance and it doesn't really matter what we do with that time, so my friends and I decide to ditch it. As we were walking toward my friends car, the administration sees us, start to walk toward us, and yell stuff like "gentlemen! where do you think you are going?" Without hesitation, we get in the car, and make a clean getaway, or so we thought. It was quite the adrenaline rush. Little did we know that someone from the administration took our their camera phone, took a picture of the license plate, and looked up some records. In the last period of the day, everyone involved with the escape was called down to the office. Luckily all of us had straight A's (except me, I had a B or something), so they didn't get too mad at us. They somewhat understood that we didn't really need intervention, but pointed out that other students did, and that we could help them by using the time to peer tutor. None of us had thought of that. Nevertheless, it is still a really funny story, at least I think so.

Burglers! / girls vs. video games

2010-11-17T19:59:00.001-08:00

Last night I had a dream that I was home at night. I look out the window and saw a man on the roof of my neighbor's house with a mining light on his head. I thought to myself "Is that a robber?" I then saw another man on the ground walk up to the door and break the window of the door with a hammer. "Yes" I decided "They're definitely robbers." I then debated with myself whether or not this was 911 worthy. I looked at that house today. That door has no window.

Act II of this post: girls vs. video games

Women, if this title offends you, please continue to read so I can try to explain myself.

Video games are great. They will never let you down, send mixed messages, or make you feel awkward. They are great to be around, they are really entertaining, and they will ultimately never let you down. I'm not saying that girls are the opposite of video games. What I am trying to say, is that there is a CHANCE that girls will let you down. One of the greatest thing about video games is also it's greatest downfall: NO RISK. If you don't want to be emotionally hurt, play video games. But, the only time we can be happy, is when we sacrifice something, and making a sacrifice is a risk. As much as I want to, I can't marry video games. It is impossible to start a family and have children with Team Fortress 2 or Halo: Reach. Girls are great, but there are some that will let you down, and there are some that will never let you down for any reason. All in all, girls > video games.

I guess what I am trying to say is this. One of the reasons we boys play video games is because we are afraid of girls. That may be the nerdiest/geekiest/lamest thing you ever heard, but it is true. It is a way of protection ourselves, for our massive biceps and six-pack-abs are nothing compared with their mysterious impossible to understand brain and powerful emotions.

I'll let you in on a little secret, girls. As crazy as it sounds, you have more power than you think. More power than...dare I say it?...video games.

So here's to you, my two loves. May you both treat me well.

Exploding Microwaves and Backstab Tag

2010-11-16T15:47:00.001-08:00

I had a dream there were 2 half-eaten krispy kreme doughnuts on the counter. They looked like my bite marks, so I decided to finnish one. It tasted kinda old, so I decided to microwave it, but instead of putting it in for 8 seconds like you are supposed to, I accidentally put it in for about 10, and as soon as it reached 9 seconds, my microwave timer when up a few hours, and electric bolts and sparks were flying everywhere. It was awesome, but scary, so I had to do something about it. I looked for a plug, but I didn't want to electrocute myself. Luckily, a friend of mine pulled it out of the extension cord. I thanked him, even though I kinda wanted to be the hero who stopped the microwave from exploding.

On another non-dream-related subject, me and a friend from school invented this game called ninja tag/ assassin tag / backstab tag. Basically, its a regular game of tag, played only by two people, and you can only tag the other person if they 1) don't see you and 2) don't know you are there. At the end of the day, if you are not it, you get a point, and at the end of the week, whoever has the most points wins. We started last Wednesday, and I beat him 2-1. I got him yesterday and am winning today (the other rule is that end of the day = midnight, but that is if you are hardcore enough to sneak into your friend's house at 11:30pm just to tag him, but at this point, usually if your at your house after-school and he's not around, you are safe). I must say, this game has made me become very aware of my surroundings.

The update no person waited for

2010-11-15T20:47:00.001-08:00

So I decided to base this blog on dreams I have (cause I have no other good ideas), and post whenever I want. I won't strictly follow this rule though, this is my blog and I can do what I want with it. Anydangway, here is a sample:

Last night I dreamed I was in a foreign country like Israel, wandering off from the small city group. I came across some kinda highway and wondered which direction to go. A car with two adult women pulled over to me, because they must have thought I was lost or homeless. One of them handed me a crisp $20 bill. I said wanted to be polite so I said "No thanks, I don't need it." She said something like "C'mon be honest" and I said "I want it, but I don't need it." She smiles, laughs and says "well, that's good enough for me" and then hands me the $20 bill. She also offered me a blank check, I think, but I don't think I took it.

A while back, I had a lucid dream about having a jet pack. I think it's because I've been playing a little too much Halo: Reach. That's all I can think about right now.

TF2 referance.

2010-09-03T14:29:00.000-07:00

In Utah, when high school students ask people to dances, they don't ask face to face. They leave a present on their porch step usually with a pun (i.e. WOOD you go with a guy as HOT as me? with a fire burning in a bowl or something). And the same thing occurs when you answer someone. I made this just as a joke, but I have found it most helpful for asking/answering. I got the idea from the guard dog update on the tf2 blog.

Babies in Film

2010-03-21T21:27:00.000-07:00

When you are sitting on the couch or in a chair (maybe the floor, if you feel comfortable that way) and your watching a movie or tv show with a baby in it, do you ever stop to think: "Where did that baby come from?" And I'm not talking about the way 5 year old children ask their parents about the facts of life. What I'm trying to say is, how did that baby get the part? Was there a guy who knew a guy? Were auditions held? Where is that baby now? I ask myself the latter especially when it is a movie filmed in the 80's.

The role Baby Oscar from Ghostbusters II were played by twins Henry and William Deutschendorf. It is pretty hard to find out much about them. I think they might be German though, and this triggers the next question: Are babies from foreign countries cheaper than American babies when it comes down to filming a movie? I have no idea, but one thing is for sure: Henry and William are adults now, and I'm pretty sure people don't go up to them and say "Hey, you look familiar. Were you guys in Ghostbusters II?" Maybe they open it up in conversations with people they are trying to impress. I know I would if I was a baby playing another baby in a movie with a baby.

Yo-Yo

2009-05-06T14:40:00.000-07:00

My latest craze is yo-yo-ing, or whatever it is called. It all started when I was at my friend's house playing with a yoyo he had lying around, and I could not stop playing with it! My dad convinced me to get a legit yo-yo, and it has made all the difference. It is a Duncan brand. I've played with it only for a few days and I'm already on my second string, and I think I need to get new breaker-pads for it too. I'm not sure if it is because I used it so much or if Duncan brand isn't perfected yet or anything, or what.

which one should i submit?

lucid dreaming

2008-02-08T14:24:00.000-08:00

i have researched the latest craze: LUCID DREAMING!!! 2 years ago it was airsoft guns and parkour. 1 year ago it was skateboarding and paintball(supposedly). now it is mice, nurf guns, airsoft guns, and lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is when you are asleep and you realize you are in a dream. for some this may seem creepy, but when you know you are dreaming, you can somtimes control them. you realize you are dreaming when you body and your brain are aware of things. so if you take a nap an our after you wake up, or in other words, asleep when your body should be awake, you usualy have a lucid dream. here are some steps you can take if you would like an experience like this

1. Dream Recal. first you must be able to remeber your dreams. after you wake up, try not to move because if you move too quickly, you can forget what dream(s) you had. keep a dream journal next to your bed. if you wake up around 3pm and remember a dream, write it down or you will forget it during the night. it is cool to read something you don't even remember writing. write it in present tense so you can remember more details. after you right it down, try to go to sleep while remembering or continueing your dream.

2. Dream Awarness Tests. In a dream ask yourself if you are dreaming. some test you can do to find out if you are dreaming is looking at your hands to see if you have more or less fingers, look at yourself in a mirror to see if you are blurry, look at a clock and see if it changes, look at text to see if it changes, or plug your nose and see if you can breathe. these test are also good to do during the day, even if you are completely sure you are dreaming. it is not good to have an attitude of "this is obviously not a dream" because you will have that habbit in your real dreams. so in the day pretend you are dreaming, or think you are dreaming, do the tests, and that same habbit will develop in your dreams.

3. Dream Lengthenning. a great mishap is when you realize you are lucid, and then wake up right after. this happens because you body is aware. on way to lengthen your lucid dream is to rub your hands when you feel like you are about to wake up. another way is to spin around to keep dreaming.

side note: when you sleep it is not just one long dream, your dream is split up into 90 minute increments. when you remember your dream, there are probably still some you can't remember.

side note 2: there is another type of dream (which is very, very difficult to have) called an out-of-body-experience. usualy 1 to 3 out of every 10 people get them at least once in their life. it is much more real and vivid than a regular dream. people say it feels like you have left your own body and have a strange buzzing noise in their ears. people also say that even when they wake up from one, they still think that what happened in their dream actualy happened in real life. such as a story of a boy who had an out-of-body-experience and visit his friend in Tibet to see what he was doing. when he call his friend, he found out that what happend in his dream actualy happend.

so yea, i have been trying this stuff and i might write down some of the dreams i had on here someday.

its that time again!.....again!

2007-11-08T16:39:00.000-08:00

When you see the title you go straight to this paragraph as to find out what time it is for. like "its that time again" "for what?" "for spring" "dude, its fall" "it is now!" this may confuse people. but don't worry, I'm confused too you know. if you are NOT confused, go eat that leftover cake you were planning on eating today, you deserve it. if you already ate that cake, well, now you know why you did. if you have never had cake before...you are missing out...on cake. whether or not that is a good or bad thing is for you to decide. OK back to time. lets say someone asks me what time it is. i could say what time it is at the time lets say 5:30, or time B. in a minute or less, the time changes. it is then 5:31. it has been a minute since this person asked the question. at this time the person no longer wonders about the time. they still think it is 5:30, or rather ironically, they just don't care anymore. i could then tell them a minute has gone by, and that it is 5:31, assuming they still are wondering what time it is. now lets abandon this dilemma altogether. now lets say they ask what time it is again. i would answer "now." it wouldn't be a lie, in fact it would be true...at the time. but when i say now, as soon as i finish saying it, it is in the past. so instead of saying now i could say 10 seconds till now and pat that person on the back. i hope i have confused you in the most logical way possible. just remember this: that last time you said now is (now) in the past, so instead of saying now IS the time you should say now WAS the time...and don't deny it!

the clubs

2007-09-13T19:11:00.000-07:00

the clubs i have joined at my skool are airsofting, ukulele, and film club. i am pretty siked out about it. there was also a cool club but i don't know if its poser or wutever. some of my club ideas the school probably wouldn't approve. like the roof hopping club or the silent library. the roof hopping explains itself so i will describe silent library for ya. silent library is an original japanese tv show where some guys go into a library and pretend that they are going to study or something, but then they draw straws and the loser of the round has to pick out a nose hair or put a tarantula on their face and they have to be silent the whole time and can't laugh because its a library!!! its a hilarious show. they should also have an underwater fighting club. the way this is done is you put on an oxygen tank and metal weight shoes and basicly live in slow motion for a while. its pretty fun. i played it at my friend's pool only without the gear. there should be a firework and explosive making club too. free for all! there could also be a big bmob war at the end of the year. that would be fun. maybe i could make a club club. everyone gets a cave men style club to beat each other with, plus, it is every club in the the school rolled into one! so no same boring crap all the time!!! there i have it: the clubs...

aliens and anti-matter grenades

2007-08-22T16:13:00.000-07:00

did my title scare you? good. it should. it was to get your attention. your not in detention. this is a crazy special edition of rhym. is is no crime. why? just because thats why. i am too lazy to play this game. and aliens and anti-matter grenades would be a sweet band name. this "poem" i am creating doesn't have rythm and it doesn't have a beat. ...neat! thats sweet! sweet neat! hey that rhymes! good times... coolio foolio. i need to get better cuz i feel sick. i better get bettet and it better be quick! that sounds like doctor seuss. all it needed was a who or moose. its hard to think of all this and make it rhyme. wow, i think i rhymed something with rhyme like the 5th time! i'm hungry i think i'll go eat an orange... crap. nothing rhymes with that. whoever finds a word that rhymes with orange get the prize. and the prize is me telling you how many times i said rhyme in this post. and if you don't i will never count how many times i said rhyme ryhme....wow. i annoy myself sometimes...

ideas

2007-08-15T17:30:00.000-07:00

i have a few ideas that are just ideas that are just ideas... on is to make consesion dispensing firework. like at the fourth of july there would be a huge firework at the beginning of the show and before you know it, hot dogs would be on little parashoots falling into your hands. and they would be hot from the explosion... so yea, of course they would be cooked! and you know how car doors can be unlocked with that remote thing? that would be cool for real doors. or an ipod that's also a phone....wait thats invented right? it should be. that would be cool. why didn't anyone think of that? (haha) i think movie theaters should have room servise or a touch screen menue for each row...no, each seat. or a soda machine (the one where you hold up the cup to the fountain) but instead of soda its popcorn. don't they have those somewhere? they should make a windchime that keeps salesmen and soliciters away. like a sound that only a salesman would hate. i think i'd like to have a pet elefant for a day. that's just something i needed to say. i think i will write more blogs with my ideas for the neer future. if you like one of them or you have an idea just let me know and i'll get to it. i know you want one of them firework/food dispensers! or ipod/phone...haha! i make me laugh.

applying fruit to... everything?...

2007-08-10T10:19:00.000-07:00

when i first came up with the idea of fruit for this blog i searched "applying fruit to math" but i couldn't find anything philosophical. all i found was some kindergarten web page with puzzles like "....so how many apples can dance on a banana?....really?" so then i went and researched just fruit to find out if a tomato is a vegetable or not. then i learned the sad truth: its BOTH! it had the venn diagram to prove it and everything! in fact i think i remember someone asking that question and i said "both" just to be funny. but apparently its true. so is the truth funny? or is anything funny true? hmmm... i also saw something about seedless fruits. i thought "what? i thought they all had seeds?!" then i remember the seedless watermelon. so what i came up with was all those supernatural fruit cloning machine gene bending mechanism devise potion (or a s.f.c.m.g.b.m.d.p.) turned all those watermelons into vegetables? this is just confusing so i'm just going to cut to why i put a "?" in "everything?" i actually put some thought into that. everything includes fruit, so applying fruit to fruit would be the opposite of of what the answer already is...paradox! also everything includes vegetables. that's not really that complicated cause i've already figured it out. the answer is simply "regular tomato" not just tomato but regular tomato, because a tomato covers a field. like a tomato that has gone through the s.f.c.m.g.b.m.d.p.. that has never happened to a regular tomato. therefore the answer to applying fruit to veggies is "regular tomato" or even "radioactive watermelon process"(R.a.W.P.) thats what makes it so funny! and that, my friends, how scientist sound smart. they just make everything sound confusing and only understandable to them. i wouldn't consider myself much of a scientist...maybe half of one...i can just take logic and make anything sound confusing. or confusing things logical...to myself at least. i award this blog the blog with the most ...dots... and dedicate it to myself and everything i have been through. ta! ta!

fireworks, bombs, and explosives

2007-08-09T09:28:00.000-07:00

since the month of july is gone there is no fireworks till new years. not legally that is. i still have a $10 stash of those popper snaps in my room. explosives are getting better and more complex which is a satisfying thought to me. modifying fireworks to make them better is not as hard as it sound. like you can turn a flower bomb into a m16 in less than a minute. i will neither confirm nor deny why i know this so don't ask. i found a video on youtube and this danish or dutch kid makes and explosive that ignites from water. have you ever seen a liquid nitrogen bomb? those are cool. it looks like a nuke from outer space with the scientific white smoke and all that. i saw another video where they make a liquid nitrogen bomb underwater. there was a big splash and smoke everywhere. it was awesome. what i would like too see is a huge illegal firework show, because illegal fireworks are most likely the coolest looking kind. like a grenade strapped to a rocket. wouldn't that be cool? there are also some microwave tricks that are awesome to watch. if you microwave a lit match or even a sliced grape and put a glass over it you got yourself some nice home-made plasma. that's right plasma. you're probably thinking "what? grape plasma? whoever heard of such a thing?" apparently the grape completes a circuit when cut a certain way. the plasma just looks like pure electronic evil in pure electronic evil form. hey that would be a sweet band name, however if you take the initials of Pure Electronic Evil...well...ya know...you got trouble. back to insane explosions. this one is probably the most illegal, most expensive, and most waist of fuel. if a gallon of gasoline is lit it looks like a nuke. not just a nuke. i mean a NUKE nuke. like a mushroom of unusual size...on fire.

scout camp

2007-08-04T13:01:00.000-07:00

so it has been about a week and i just got back from scofield scout camp. i got 5 merit badges there: soil and water conservation, geology, woodcarving, indian lore, and orienteering. they were all boring but very easy. our troop also earned the badenpowell award which is the hardest award to get. moving on... so some of you caring people may be still concerned about my sunburn from the river rafting trip(bless you all). well i started peeling for the first time in a while and it was kind of convenient when i had nothing to do. i would just be sitting there and look at my arm and start peeling. this may sound gross but you should try it sometime. there was a long jump contest and i went about 14 feet which is probably my longest. it rained a lot so it was so much more hard core when i jumped cuz i got so dirty. i also won the rootbeer chugging contest and i spilt like half of it on my shirt. all i need is about 3 more required merit badges and a project to get my eagle. i'm still thinking of what to do for my eagle project. i'm thinking of going to mexico or something like that. any suggestions?

river rafting

2007-07-28T10:08:00.000-07:00

ok. so hear is an update of what just happened in my life: i just got back from rafting the Colorado River in Moab. the rapids were kinda ghetto because they were really calm most of the time. it was like class 0.2 to like 0.5 if that means anything to you. there was a paddle boat and a row boat. i got to be in both and personally i like the row boat the best because only one person did all the work while everyone else just chilled out. i got a turn rowing and that was fun too. we also got to swim down the river a little bit, and that was awesome. we actually got to ride the current through some rapids and just let the current take us as we swam. "go with the flow" has a whole new meaning now, cuz the flo can be pretty dang sweet to be in. i got a pretty sick sunburn too. like on my whole body. on the way home we made a few stops and absolutely no vending machines were working! it made me so mad that i just walked in and bought a 24 pack of sierra mist. its under my bed right now. that'll show 'em. does anyone know what the best thing to put on a sunburn is? i'm in serious pain right now. winner gets a drink if they bring it to me. shipping info: pickup only.

greg pattillo: the flute beatboxer

2007-07-25T15:48:00.000-07:00

he can take any classical song and make it sound awesome to those that don't know, beatboxing is when you make sounds with a beat and rhythm that makes you sound like machine/robot/synthesizer. it is one thing to be good at beatboxing. it is another to play the flute and beatbox at the same time!!! greg pattillobeatbox aka flute beatboxer plays in the streets of new york city and has a master's degree in the flute. he is pretty dang sweet. he has a license to play in the subways and above ground which is one of the many ways he earns money to eat dinner. he is a master at improvising on his flute while beatboxing. you can watch his videos on the side to hear him play. you can also see more of his videos on youtube.com. some of my favorite videos are "spy tunes" where he plays james bond and mission imposible themes. "muppet wars" is the one where he plays the muppets theme and the darth vaderincredibly dope and cool. he also performs with his friend who has been playing the cello since he was 3 years old. i have heard that his CD came out in june but i am still trying to locate it. once i find it i will purchase it as soon as possible. greg pattillo is a very talented man.

eyes, ears, mouth, and nose

2007-07-18T11:14:00.000-07:00

I learned that there are no such thing as colors and that it is just the way light reflects and how our eyes take it in. thats crazy! I'm colorblind and people see things that i can't, but i can also see things other people can't. But if the majority of the people were colorblind, the regular people would be colorblind. you'd think your eye color would effect the way you see things. hearing is cool too. they way music can be put together. the difference between random jumbled notes and organized sound. is there a hearing blindness too? i don't mean deaf, i mean you hear the not A natural but it sounds like F sharp or something. or you hears something high pitched and it sounds low maybe. that would be weird. tasting something and eating is interesting too. what makes a food critic like a certain food, and another critic hate it, when it tastes exactly the same? smelling is the same way. what makes something smell bad or good? it seems it would be an opinion but everybody hates a fart and everybody loves the smell of flowers and fresh food! smelling is also the strongest sense that brings back a memory. sometimes music might be but music is a memory itself. smelling brings back many memories. that's probably why crack makes you high because it effects your brain so much. question about tasting: would you rather have poo flavored ice cream or ice cream flavored poo? let me rephrase that: ice cream that tastes like crap or crap that tastes like ice cream?

if i were these animals...

2007-07-12T09:40:00.000-07:00

cat: I would jump from roof to roof and if i miss i wouldn't have to worry because i'd always land on my feet. dog: i would hide behind a trash can or bush and wait for some people to walk down the street, then bark and scare the crap out of them, then run away. deer: while i'm in the woods and someone is trying to hunt me down, i sneak behind him, tackle him, and run away. dragonfly: speed as fast as i can and fly around people through the legs, over the head, and under the arms. hummingbird: fly into someones window just to confuse them. penguin: fish eating contests and ice sliding races. elephant: fill my trunk with water and spray people on a safari. fish: slowly take the bait off the hook and put some seaweed where the bait was for false hope. that'll teach him to mess with me! monkey: coconut wars!!! beaver: build a dam in front of a man made dam so it completely stops the water. horse: jump over a fence and save someone's life somehow. mouse: build tunnels that lead into various people's food storage. spider: make a web all around the doorway so when someone walks through it they completely go crazy. ...thats all i have...

How to get tall without money

2007-07-11T10:57:00.000-07:00

I am going to be a freshman at hight school and i am currently 6+ feet tall. People ask me why i am and i truly don't know. my parents aren't really that tall so i am probably lucky. but if i'm not, and i'm just doing something to make me tall, here is some advise: 1) sleep a lot. i usually try to get at least 12 hours of sleep a day. on school days i mostly get 9. They say you grow more in your sleep. this probably has to do with gravity or something, that's my guess. or maybe the human body is so completely bored that it just simply has to do something, and all there is to do is get taller. 2) when you look at the nutrition facts, don't care! when i look at the label, i'm like "yea of course its fattening, but i never eat cheez nip super twinkys. but if you do eat a lot of fat foods, you've probably eaten enough that your body is used to it now, and it can work it out for itself. so go ahead and eat it. like homer simpson says "if it tastes good, it must be good for you."...homer simpson is an idiot but...you know...its good advice! 3) drink a lot of water. some people say around 8 glasses a day. i say around 8 twenty-ounce nalgene bottles a day. drink about half your body weight in ounces. i don't know why i added water to my list. probably because 70% of your body is water and you can't survive without it. and if you can't survive, you can't get tall. 4) stop sucking in your gut! nobody cares really. all its going to do is make you stressed all the time, and stress is unhealthy, therefore, sucking in your gut is unhealthy. if you suck in your gut, you're eventually going to quit on it, and it is just going to make yourself look fatter than you were. if your a girl and people ask if you've gotten fat, slap em. if your a guy, say that you are getting ready to play heavy weight football. you can say that too girls if you want to look tough. i guess that last one was about weight loss and not about hight gaining... oh well. if this doesn't work and you want to spend money, just pay your doctor to make you taller. i know doctors can do this it has been done before. and if you don't want to spend that much money, pay your friend to brag to everyone else how tall you are. they'll believe it too, but they will just think your younger. wow this post is long! i thought it would be short because its about being tall...whatever. you don't have to take my word for it! ba-dat-dum! ding!

allergies

2007-07-09T09:19:00.000-07:00

i kinda stole this one off my friend. he said allergies were "so gay" because instead of "taking this pill or else i will throw up my brains" it is "sometimes i get boogers on my shirt when i sneeze" (again, he said this, not me) I have just researched this subject and it actually can be as hardcore as "throwing up your brains." sometimes it can start out as a runny nose, and then slowly it can transform into a life threatening anaphylactic shock which causes death. woooOOOOooow dude!!! that could make a sweet movie plot. It could be called "The Allergy" that would sell!!! i have heard that some sneezes can go up to a few hundred miles per hour. some people would refer this as a "super power." allergies can have some sweet names too. like "anaphlaxis" or "hypersensitivity." and a blood allergy testing you can use is a "radioallergosorbent test" or "RAST" which i am considering to go into my slang vocabulary (dude that is so rast!). when you get skin testing to find out if you have allergies, they puncture some samples into your skin and it will cause full blown hive like a mosquito bite. this hive is called "wheel and flare." I would call an alternate to rock and roll as wheel and flare. or even a band name. so in conclusion, allergies can be "gay" if you make it look "gay." if you want it to be hardcore, go get you blood tested then go back to your friends and say "yea, i got a radioallergosorbent test, so basically i'm the coolest guy in the world" and they'll be all like "dude! that is so rast!!!" well, i got to go start writing that screenplay for "The Allergy" then i might sell it to M. night shawlamon or whatever that guy's name is.

they might be giants

2007-07-07T14:31:00.000-07:00

they might be giants aka tmbg is my favorite band. they are awesome. i like their music because it is more than one genre. no 2 songs are the same. i've listened to their new album "the else" many times on iTunes. it is an ok album. i mostly listen to the first 6 songs. they also are from my hometown: New York!!! so i have been to a few of their concerts. they have goofy songs, serious songs, and in between. they also are a unique band because they have a thing called "dial-a-song" where you call their number the answering machine picks up, and instead of "leave me a message" it is recordings of songs they have written. some of them are new, old, and even songs that have not come out yet or have been published yet. They have children and have kid's albums as well as adult albums. some people only like some of their songs and that is ok. if you are not familiar with tmbg they wrote the theme for the television show "Malcolm in the Middle" and they also wrote Higgleytown Heroes. They run themselves and have guests play at their concerts and write songs. Their names are John Flansburgh and John Linnell. John L plays the accordion and he rocks out with it and that is so awesome. And that is my review on tmbg. GO TMBG!!!

Toes

2007-07-07T10:34:00.000-07:00

My last blog was on the serious side so now i am writing on toes. in my opinion, if you stare at your toes long enough, and think about it long enough, it is kinda strange. They seem kinda random. Fingers are the same way a little bit, they are kind of like tentacles. but they are useful. Toes, however, are used for balance, and would probably work just as good if they were webbed. webbed feet are weird too. but if everyone had webbed feet, it wouldn't be. hmmm... something to think about. there are few people who can control each individual toe. I have heard about a woman who couldn't move her hands so she used her feet to paint or sew or something like that. I'm sure that if you exercise your toes long enough you'll be able to control them like your fingers. Have i inspired you???

inventors

2007-07-06T17:00:00.000-07:00

this post was inspired by the cheese section. My favorite inventor is Tomas Alva Edison. He said "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration" After 2000 tries, he invented the perfect working light bulb. I recall another quote "One of life's biggest failures is when people don't realize how close they came to success before they give up." I agree 100 percent. if he gave up on the light bulb that would have a huge impact. It is like what Babe Ruth, the famous baseball player said "every strike brings me closer to my next home run" and Lou Gehrig, his teammate said,"you can do anything if you try hard enough." So...you tell me what you know

Cheese

2007-07-06T16:46:00.001-07:00

so i researched on wikipedia about cheese. i admit i didn't read it the whole way through because i wasn't bored enough yet. i realize that anyone can research so i will just put in my opinion and try to add some humor. basically, it is a bacteria from milk. there are hundreds of cheeses and they can be aged. I think it originated where everything else pretty much does-Europe. Those people can be so smart. To me, the inventor of cheese must have been one of the coolest people ever, but i still think that the inventor of the two stick popsicle is cooler. next is tom edison, the light bulb inventor. so far i've stated that the coolest people ever are inventors. this has turned into an inventor's blog so back to cheese. to make cheese the milk must be separated into solids and liquids. or the curd and the whey. something fun i like to do is make butter out of cream by shaking a jar. i've only done this once but it was very amusing.

Okay

2007-07-06T16:34:00.000-07:00

That last blog probably make you all think that i am a big nerd. this is not entirely true. this is my first time. i don't know what i will write about yet but i don't want it to be boring. if anyone want to give me ideas on what to write that will be great. it can be cheese, books, video games, music, flash photography, hats, movies, anything!!! I can research and write what i think about it. in fact, i think i WILL write about cheese...

airsoft gunning

2007-07-06T16:17:00.000-07:00

for those of you that don't know, an airsoft gun is like a mild bb gun. the bb's are plastic instead of metal, and they are 6mm in diameter. there are many different types. most airsoft guns are spring powered. others are C02 powered and electronic powered. A decent gun fires from 275+ feet per second. you can fire at targets or have competitions with friends. i have a proud collection of airsoft guns that i use often. me and my friends play in the woods and in the streets. they are much cheaper than paintball witch is quite similar. i found good deals on ebay and they are very decent. any of you want to brag about your airsoft gun(s) go right ahead.
