Lessons and Speeches

Hey all you awesome people of the Internet! It is that time of day again. The daily blog of the day. I have a few things to talk about today.

First off is that I just barely found out that Monopoly is making another version of the game. It's not like Disney version or Spongebob version or whatever. This new version has no jail! That's not all folks because they also made a change to the point of the game. Instead of buying property and having to dread landing on someone's property that has a ton of hotels, it's focusing on buying and selling top brands of games and other stuff! This might be even stupider than the credit card Monopoly, or Monopoly Millionaire. The original game is good enough for me, on Yahoo it said that they were making this new version to attract the younger crowd. I hear they are even going to make speedier versions of Boggle and even Scrabble!

Okay other than that little rant on how I like the original version of that game better, let's talk about today. I am faced again with the challenge of pressure from my parent to finish the lessons and keep at the sport. I have to have a face-to-face talk with my parent soon. It's harder than it seems believe me. I can write out a good speech on what I feel, but talking isn't my strong suit. Maybe I will write a speech on my blog as a practice sort of thing. So if you don't care about my problems... SKIP AHEAD!
"Parent I need you to listen please. Just hear me out. I noticed you want me to finish the lessons that you have paid for already for this sport. I understand that you want me to keep trying. You keep telling me how you saw me have fun playing the sport. Yes, I did have fun playing the sport, but then I grew out of the fun and the excitement of a new sport. Like with the other sports I have played, they were fun, but it wasn't something that I wanted to continue. Though, those sports are different than this. If someone asked me to come and shoot hoops or play soccer I would love to... This sport on the other hand is not like that. If someone asked me to play it I would plainly say 'no'.  If they asked why I wouldn't be able to answer on the spot because I really stink explaining things right there right then. I have to think of my explanation and figure out what I was feeling. The point is I want you to understand how I am feeling. I don't feel comfortable playing this sport. I don't like this sport anymore. I am sorry. I respect that you like this sport, I will do extra chores around the house and try to pay you back for the lessons. If that frustrates you too much I will finish the lessons(even though I can't use much of what they teach me). If it freaks you out too much for me to close the door on this sport completely then I will be open to the option to play on rare occasion for "fun". I am sorry that this might be hard for you to hear. I just am speaking my mind and informing you about how I feel."


Anyways, I got to go to Color Me Mine and paint! Well, I am not much of a painting person. I am more of a sketch artist kind of person. I got a cylinder type thing. It's hard to explain, it will be like a pencil, colored pencil, paint brush holder thing. I painted a creeper face with WAY to much detail and at the bottom wrote "SSsssss...BOOM!!!" And at the back I did the Mindcrack symbol because I like that podcast. I also had to leave in like five minutes so I painted the symbol a little sloppily. It came out okay, but it could have been better if I had more time.

After that I went to In-N-Out Burger and ate a cheeseburger. The day was slow going from there on.

ADVICE FOR ALL!!!!! I learned a very important lesson early. NEVER CLICK LINKS THAT ARE LABELED TRAFFIC SOURCES. Ugh... things that cannot be unseen. If you have a blog never ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER click links that are labeled traffic sources. Now I'm worried, since I clicked those links out of accidental curiosity, that I'm on a watch list or whatever(I hope not). So that is the most important advice for any new bloggers like me.

Well, that is it for today guys! I will write to all you awesome people of the Internet lata! :) See ya! PurplePainter321

Dang Fireworks!!!!

What is up all you awesome people of the Internet? I hope you are having a good "holiday". The reason "holiday" is in quotations is that there is apparently a holiday today. And you all know what that means... I have to endure the constant 'boom' of fireworks. It's going to probably keep me up all night. I mean this is the very first I have heard of this holiday. I don't even know why I haven't heard about it before. It seems like a big deal to everyone else. Oh well.

I didn't do too much today other than get a cool glow-in-the-dark case for my iPhone. Yeah, I got a new case because my other one was literally falling apart. While I was at the outlet mall I absolutely had to get my classic hot choco-coffee with a bit of vanilla at the delicious Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. That outlet mall has everything. And I mean everything. From tons of stores, a cool lobby area, a Johnny Rockets, to a delicious chocolate factory, all in the same vicinity!

Also I watched "I Robot" for the first time ever! That movie was awesome. If I had to rate it, 4 1/2 stars. Because the concept of that movie was brilliant. (SPOILER ALEEEEERRRRT!!!!!!!) Especially when Vicki gave that speech about humanity. I mean we do disobey those three laws in the movie and in real life. We get into wars, we pollute our air, what that crazy robot lady was trying to say was we are basically ruining our own lives ourselves(willingly). I don't know, I think that's what she was trying to say.

Anyways, not much really happened today besides a good movie, getting a cool new case for my phone, and staying unwillingly up all night due to fireworks. I will leave it off here until tomorrow. See all you awesome people of the Internet later! :) -PurplePainter321

Daily Blogin'

Hello once again to all you super awesome people of the Internet. Yes, I know last post I wrote yesterday said I would write next week, but a bit of change of plans. I want to try some daily blogin' on my blog here, posting at about this time or so. When I re-read yesterday's post I said I wasn't doing much that day, well I didn't know that. I actually turned out to have a pretty interesting one at Seven Peaks.

 So, I got there and I had not been to Seven Peaks since I was like...seven and I had no idea where the heck to go. I basically went to three attractions 1. The Cliffhanger slide, 2. The wave pool, and 3. the place to get food. The Cliffhanger was actually pretty fun, I went on it two times. Then I wandered around aimlessly and decided to go to the wave pool. And no I did not rent a tube. That is the most dumb thing to spend money on there. Half of the slides there require a tube though :(. The wave pool was nice. Then I experienced a Jim Gaffigan joke. There was a couple making out in the middle of the wave pool. Blegh...(me throwing up hypothetically). Me and my friend were like,"Get a room!" well, not to their faces but you get the idea.

After the wave pool I got some pepperoni pizza, some root beer and sat at a table. Then out of nowhere some security guy runs past me with a couple of other life guards to a slide. The first thing I said was, "This place has security?" They were running up the long steps to get to the top. I was laughing so hard at one point because the life guards got up there WAY before the security guy. I couldn't see much since I was on the ground and a little further off in the distance. The life guards and the security dude came back down the stairs with a guy holding a cooler(I have no idea where he came from) and a girl drinking some Gatorade. Me and my friend concluded that she must have gotten dehydrated and passed out or something.

So that was yesterday, let's talk about today a little bit. I am fighting with myself right now about gaming commentary and if I should try again with recording my voice, or I could record myself playing the game and have music in the background. I think I am sort of leaning in the direction of having music in the background because my voice does sound pretty messed up on video. Okay, so not much happened today other than Cross Country practice and sketching. Today I basically ran at cross country, then watched some Doctor Who, sketched a tree, read a book, worked on my book, and had some delicious Five Guys.(P.S. apparently there is some state-wide holiday going on because of fireworks keeping me up every night)

Anyways, I will do these daily blogs unless I have a SUPER boring day sort of like today. I will also try and figure out how to post pictures on this thing because the face I made on that roller coaster at Sea World was priceless! I will write to all you awesome people of the Internet tomorrow! See ya! -PurplePainter321

Nothing Much Going on Today

So not much has happened since I got back from San Diego. I did go to camp for a few days. We went to the lake a couple times that was the most exciting thing that happened at camp.

In other news, from twitter and Facebook I realized that comic con is not just comic stuff. It's all the stuff I love and stuff I grew up with. From Star Wars, Star Trek, movies, books, etc.. To me that would be the best place to be in my opinion. Maybe if its close again next year it's a possibility that I could go, maybe.

Anyways, I might try gaming commentary again on my channel. The thing that threw me off was that my voice sounded so messed up on recording. So maybe I will record myself playing and instead of my voice, in the background there could be music. That could be cool maybe.

I nearly died at cross country today. Not running for a week was not good. I had the worst side ache ever.

So this post isn't very long because not much has happened and I am writing this on my phone.(and on my way to Seven Peaks Pass of all Passes baby! Which means its for Freeeeeeeeee-Bed Time Stories reference-) I will write to all you awesome people of the Internet next week! :) See Ya! -PurplePainter321

Really short post and back home :)

Hey this is just a short post today because I have camp tomorrow and I need all the sleep I can get. So  I am back home and had a good flight home. I will try and find out how to put pictures on my blog. I will write to all you awesome people of the Internet next week! :) See Ya! -PurplePainter321

Sand Diego Day 4! -Speaking Mandarin

What is up all you awesome people of the Internet! I hope you have had a super wonderful weekend. Today was pretty relaxed and easy going. I again joined my dad in a walk to Starbucks and drank a nice refreshing hot choco-coffee. I was on my own for a few hours and I got bored quickly, so my activities to keep from getting more bored included 1.Tetris(I got to the 18th level) 2.TV 3.Read 4.MonsterMusic(a fairly new app) 5.YouTube 6. Listen to a podcast(at the end I laughed so hard I cried). Then my dad came and took me with him to lunch at the think tank that he was going to. Ugh(the food was gross)!Okay so the first time I went to this cafe the food was so delicious... I ordered the tomato soup and pizza... And today I ordered the chicken tenders. Those chicken tenders were the most disgusting thing ever. Think of mashed up chicken with preserves and additives mashed up some more and breaded. Blegh.........(me throwing up hypothetically)

Next up I met 3 people at the think tank who spoke Mandarin! That made me so happy!!!! I have been taking Mandarin for about a year and I love it so much! So, this literally made my day and I could talk and make conversation with them. They were so nice and awesome, and I was smiling so much today my cheeks are so sore. So, not much happened today guys, and I think I will wrap it up here, and tomorrow I am heading back home! I will write to all you awesome people of the Internet tomorrow! :) Zai Jian!(good-bye!) -PurplePainter321

San Diego Trip Day 3! -Vacation Relaxation

Hello once again to all you awesome people of the Internet! It is now the 3rd day of my trip to San Diego, and today was pretty average I guess until the end(I will write about that near the end of this post)of the day. So, let me tell you how I slept last night. Well lets just say that for the first time in my life I wanted to shoot some birds. They were waking me up at unheard of hours and made the most annoying noises. I guess I could have at least closed the window in the first place.

Me and my dad  in the morning walked to the Starbucks that was down the road and was by a Barnes and Noble Bookstore(that made me extremely happy). I wanted to get the style of hot chocolate that I usually got at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory near where I live. This is how it's made. Hot chocolate with a splash of coffee and a squirt of vanilla. They made it perfectly, so in turn it was soooo delicious.

A little later in the afternoon my cousins and aunt came over again and we went swimming at the pool. I didn't swim for very long but my little 6-year old cousin who you all know, from yesterday's update blog, wanted to swim until dark. Luckily that didn't happen. Instead after we were done swimming we all showered and got ready and we went to Mission Beach. I only went on one ride, it was the one that was built way back in 1925. I screamed very loud on that one. My throat was very raw afterwords and to cure that I got some classic vanilla ice cream. :) So for the next hour or so I talked with my aunt while my cousins were going on a ton of rides. I was sort of disappointed that I couldn't watch the sunset over the ocean's horizon because of the clouds. On our way out we started to see some police cars going to the opposite way than us. In total we counted 2 police vehicles, 1 ambulance, 2 battalion chief vehicles, and 6 fire trucks. There might even be more that. That was just what we saw in the car. So, I am going to record the local news so I can find out what was happening.

That was pretty much it for today guys. Just a simple vacation relaxation day. And I will write to all you awesome people of the Internet tomorrow! :) See ya! -PurplePainter321
