No Title

I love the app called Spotify. It allows you to listen to any of your favorite songs that weren't on records. You can listen to popular songs, obscure songs, and cover versions, but just like any internet object, you have to be careful, because there are a lot of strange and explicit songs out there. My favorite artists are InsideOut Acapella, They Might Be Giants, Weird Al Yankovic, and the Muppets. What are some of your favorite artists?

Text(book)ing

So this trimester, I am in college statistics. I just got my textbook, and get this: it actually is readable! :O Spooky, huh? It doesn't read like a textbook, but as if you are actually carrying out a conversation with a normal person (well, normal for seniors, anyway). There is one bit in there that made me LOL: the first chapter is called Stats Starts Here. And the footnote says: "We could have called this first chapter Introduction, but we decided to call it otherwise, because nobody ever reads the introduction. We feel it is safe to say this here, because nobody reads footnotes, either." :>

Best Day Ever, or Not?

School has started. Yay? I like school and all, to get away from the summer boredom, but sometimes the stress gets a little too much. And this year, I start being a senior, which means that the homework is going to be endless. But I figure if I have a good attitude, it will go a lot easier.

Marvel Redesigns

I love superheroes, but sometimes, I find their costumes to be a bit outdated. Which is why I have decided I will try to redesign them.

For Example: From This...


To this...


Or this...


Or even something as awesome as:

(Apologies to whoever artwork this is)

Dragonus: Awesome

Okay, this is my third and FINAL dragon post. This is one you should all know:


Toothless! What else can I say about him? He's Awesome!



(Oh yeah, and there's a guy named Hiccup, too. Pay no attention to him.)

Awesome!

But he looks like someone. Hmm, I wonder who it could be..


Which leads to this awesome picture:



Hehe.

Favorites Time!

I want to tell you about one of my favorite video game characters! My other favorite is a certain blue hedgehog, but here is my most favorite (all 3 versions):
Spyro the Dragon!


He's been through a lot: regular old platforming games, teaming up with a new girlfriend called Cynder,


and teaming up with a whole bunch of other tiny guys sent to our world in the form of toys (don't ask). The way I see it, he has gotten a lot of flak, and he needs a major comeback.

By the way, do I seem obsessed with dragons? Good, because I am. Toodles!

Lockheed: The Dynamic Dragon


Cute, Ain't it? Lockheed is a member of the X-Men. He was discovered on a spaceship by Kitty Pryde. Since then, he has helped the X-Men on many occasions. Recently, he has joined Wolverine's group of X-Men as a teacher (Don't ask what subject). Cool photo Time!:

And, just for ramdomness sake:

Boredom. It gets to the best of us. Sometimes we can't think of anything to do, or think, or blog. That's why we have YouTube. To look at funny cats.

Back to Drool.

School is starting again. Yay. I'm not a bitter person, but I hate having to go back to school with other people pushing you aside in the hallway and not even looking back, or who cut in line at lunchtime inviting others to do so, too. I may sound pessimistic, but some people in the world are just like that. That means we have to try even harder to be nice to others.

Disneyinsania

Another thing that I am a big fan of is Disney. These people have created a whole world with a mouse. That got me thinking: what if Disney decided to create a Super Smash Bros.-like game? Genius! Here are the movies/cartoons/attractions/miscellania that I would like to see in there:


  • The Sorcerer's Apprentice
  • Steamboat Willie
  • Alice in Wonderland (New Version)
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Beauty and the Beast
  • Aladdin
  • Pirates of the Caribbean (Movies)
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas
  • Wall-E
  • Phineas and Ferb
  • Monsters Inc.
  • Toy Story Trilogy
  • Hercules
  • Tron: Legacy
  • The Lion King
  • Epic Mickey
  • Bolt
  • Chicken Little
  • Cars
  • The Incredibles
  • Lilo and Stitch
  • Wreck-It Ralph
  • Mulan
  • Tarzan
  • Up
  • Vinylmation
  • Robin Hood
  • Darkwing Duck
  • Tangled
  • Brave
  • Sleeping Beauty
  • Animator's Desk
  • Split Second
  • Toontown
  • Walt Disney World
  • Haunted Mansion
  • Where's My Water?
And, just for the sake of 3rd-party characters:

  • Looney Tunes
  • Dreamworks Animation
This. Would. Be. Awesome.

P.S. Super Smash Bros. is a video game in which Nintendo characters (such as Mario, Kirby, Yoshi, etc.) fight to knock each other off the screen. As your damage increases, it is easier for you to get knocked off the stage by a strong blow.

Olympia

Well, the Olympics are about halfway through, and I have seen the good, the bad, and the downright stupid. Oh well, every 4 years is good enough for me!

Ladies and gentlemen, I humbly ask for you to share my blog with others. I wish to be liked, and to be recognized as your superior (just kidding, equal is good). But seriously, whoever reads this blog, please share it with your friends, so I can be friends with them, and have someone to "talk to", other than my sister. Sorry, Emily. =X

Anna Banana

This weekend, we went to Utah and visited my Mom's brother and his wife: Kent and Beth McLean. They are the parents of two beautiful children, Matthew and Anna, the latter of whom we witnessed being baptized today. If you are reading this, I will tell you that I am a Mormon, a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I am proud to be a Mormon, and I loved seeing my own cousin being baptized.

My Precious...

If any of you know me, you will know that I have a very intense love of superheroes. Ever since I saw the first Spider-Man movie 4 years ago, I have been in love with these characters who were always a caliber above us regular humans. Some of my favorite characters: Spider-Man, Blue Beetle, Batman, Magneto, Wolverine, Doctor Fate, Thor, Mystique, Superman, and Catwoman, to name a few. Send me some of your favorite heroes names (I won't say no to a few villains either) and I will respond!

P.S. If any of these names are obscure to you, or seem familiar, go onto Google and search for them on the Marvel and DC wikis.

Things to think about:

  • If it's called a laser printer, why can't you set it to stun?
  • Why is it that dogs hate it when they blow in your face, yet while you are driving, they stick their head out the window!?
  • Why can't you lick your own elbow?
  • Why did 76% of you just try to lick it after you read that last question?
  • If the black box survives a plane crash, why isn't the whole plane made out of the stuff?
  • If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?
Hmm.
