another one of my childhood beliefs destroyed: investing in baseball cards:)

so it was a great week – except for the fact that i read a book that basically told me my childhood was a lie:)

“mint condition” by jameison – wonderful, wonderful read about the baseball card industry – the author is about the same age as i, and like i, collected for years – only to wake up in his 20s and discover all of it is basically worthless – and so he sets out to find out why – and in short, a bazillion cards were run in the days when i collected – so a big, big supply vs. demand issue – of course, i say the book destroyed my childhood belief in the inerrancy of men that lead us – however, upon any great reflection (which always comes to me when i’m listening to music in the car and singing along on a long road trip – in this case – hewitt-trussville), i realize that there are bigger things i thankfully never discovered to be a lie – so believing that baseball cards were an investment, well, i’ll just chalk that loss up to good times with my father

“feel-bad education” by kuhn – fascinating book on all the things educators do wrong – like motivational posters:) oh, and standardized testing – grades – teaching to “one” right answer – lecturing – going on power trips – it was a great book just for a different take on education – most books laude educators – like we’re missionaries in service – so a book that takes us a few pegs down, i’m all for – b/c most days, i think i goofed up more than i did right

“running with the kenyans” by finn – i saved this book all year – bought it at Christmas last year – yes, i can wait that long – story of a brit who takes wife and kid on a journey to iten, kenya – in his quest to give his middle-aged 30-year-old body:) one last go-round – and what a round he had – good reminder that we self-impose many of our own limits

happy red ribbon week – happy parade week – i’ll be out all friday morning primping and getting my hair done – right???

  1. so…i’m doing my homework a day early so i can have it off my back for this week, but i’ll be checking in with the funny comments you guys post all this week 😀

    i’ve started Eragon, or the Inheritance Series by Christopher Paolini. so far i’ve gotten to where Eragon wakes up because the blue stone…er….egg had hatched. he had already been to the trader’s market (or whatever you call it) to find out what the hard blue stone (egg) was worth.

    i think it’s a very intriguing series (sorry if i spelled that wrong), and i’m looking forward to Eldest.

    i think Paolini’s purpose was to get the readers intrigued about reading a good fantasy series (especially for dragon fans). 😀
    ***************************
    on friday, i have to say, there were some funn-y point-of-view stories but my 2 faves were AnnMarie’s and mr. mafeld’s.

    BTW, whats all this stuff about WAFFLES? i mean yeah i know AnnMarie likes them, but is that the point? 🙂

  2. BTW-This is to anyone that sees it, but- HAVE AN AWESOME HOMECOMING WEEK!!!! 😀 😀 😀

  3. So the book I have finished right now is “Diary of a Wimpy Kid the Movie” it is a great book to read it starts off pretty much telling you about his life and how he begins and ends up being the wimpy kid to tell you maybe what I meen is like it would tell you when he was born and when he wrote or he would draw his comics so that was the main thing or topic about this book the whole time and he gets older as the you read threw out the book so that is it and I will tell you more about the next book I read so see ya

  4. The book I am read right now is the wimpy kid movie diary the first part of the book is mainly tells you about when he was born an he started off being the wimpy kid and as the book goes on it talks about what he does and all of the movies and books he has already been in just stuff like that so that was the main things I got out of it so that was the book I read and I will tell you more about the next book I read do that seems to be it so see ya

  5. Hey……………………………………

    BYE………………………dont belive anything AJ says, hes a stalker/kidnapper/robber/alien. Oh yeah i said alien

  6. i wish annmarie would stop telling evryone im stalking her she got to the library after me and she sat next to me she is stalking me iwas going to the library any way i was going to review for a test but she started talking about me so i was like “its about to go down”

  7. Anna is doing her blog at lunch so she doesn`t have to do it later. Anna has been told 4 times today she creeps people out. Why is Anna talking in 3rd person??? Haha, yes it is true I have been told 3 times today I creep people out. This mostly happens after I sing my ABC`s backwards. (Admit it-that`s a skill!)
    BLOG INTRO: Yay! I finished “How they croaked” which puts me on my fourth BOB book. NOW I`m reading “The false prince” which I checked out Friday and I barely read any of it at all. Don`t get me wrong-I read all the time, but I was camping. And I was cold. IN THE 40S IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO GO CAMPING, WHICH WAS LEARNED THE HARD WAY. It was fun, but I had to wear 3 pairs of socks and it was still cold. (Ask Maddie, she went too) Ok, since I have read 6 pages of the false prince, I will tell you my creative. (That sentence was laid out wrong) AND TO ALL 6TH GRADERS-ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA!!!! (ABC`s backwards! 🙂 )
    BLOG: CrEaTiVe
    My feet were coated in mud as I huddled with the other prisoners. Snuggling with each other was creepy, ut it was the only way to survive the cold. Some man kept coughing and Suzanna pushed him out of the huddling group. “Keep that filthy coughing away from us, I would rather freeze than die from your germs!” Suzanna isn`t the nicest tourguide in the world. But she keeps us alive. We continued to sit until the snowstorm calmed down. “LET`S GET A MOVE ON PEOPLE!” Suzanna yelled at the prisoners to get on the wagon before it got too cold again. “LET`S GO, LET`S GO!” Suzanna urged us to get onto the wagon. “BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR FILTHY PILE! PUT UP WITH THE COLD!” Tired prisoners trudged through the snow trying to get to the wagon. Suzanna inspected each passenger, leaving the unhealthy ones to die in the snow. I trudged
    FINISH THIS LATER, `BYE!

  8. Ok, other part of blog:
    “LET`S GO, LET`S GO!” Suzanna urged us to get onto the wagon. “BREAK AWAY FROM YOUR FILTHY PILE! PUT UP WITH THE COLD!” Tired prisoners trudged through the snow trying to get to the wagon. Suzanna inspected each passenger, leaving the unhealthy ones to die in the snow. I trudged up to the grumpy guide to be judged. “Off.” She said to me. “What does that mean?” I asked. “Sick people can`t come. Off the wagon.”
    I watched the wagon roll away until I couldn`t see it, and everything was white with snow. The “sick and un-well” prisoners sat beside me. I continued to stand. A sick old woman and the coughing man stood by me. Two children sat by thier mother, who had some type of cancer. Every person who looked unwell stood in the snow. Some crying, some unaffected. We buried ourselves in the snow, our best effort to stay warm from the night. I awoke in darkness as I realized I was the only one still buried. I came out of the snow and, surprisingly, the sun was out. Only the two children and I survived the night. The children and I buried thier mother and the other prisoners. The children were never sick, but they refused to leave without thier mother. I suggested to move and find food, but one child refused to leave thier mother`s snowy grave. Once the first child and I came back, the younger sister was missing. We searched, but she wasn`t found. The other child seemed to be unaffected by his loss of a sister and a mother in the same day. He told me his name was Bill. “I`m Bill.” “Well-Bill-you can go get some wood and sticks so we can make a fire.” “Will you be my new mom?” “No.”
    I began to cough like the man and the older woman, and I feared I would die in the night like them. Bill offered me his small fish he found, but I said no. We, once again, dug deep into the snow for our survival. Billy talked about different species of wolves all night, and explained the dangers of each one. “I sware, if you say that word one more time you will be sleeping with the fish tonight.” I gave Bill the iciest stare I could make. He didn`t say a word for the rest of the night.
    We slept through the night, and the morning was colder than the last. My toes turned blue and I couldn`t move them. I was coughing more and more every day. Bill grew older and he got taller and stronger. I grew weaker, and my hair thinned out and turned white. Bill insisted that I eat, but I couldn`t bring myself to do it. Eventually the cold paralyzed my left leg and Bill buried me, fed me, and everything from that point on. I didn`t know why he wouldn`t just finish me and get on with his life-but he seemed to care. I died that night of starvation.
    END.
    Sorry it was creepy I just started typing and that came out.

  9. Hey fellow bloggers, I’m going to do my creative today:

    Change

    Day after day, I put
    change into my cup,
    waiting until it’s full,
    so I can convert in to
    cash, and then start
    over again. The cycle
    never ends, unless I
    lose the cup or I die
    first, but, day after
    day, the cup will get
    fuller, and fuller, until
    it needs to be emptied
    and filled again, again,
    again, again…

    Nobody cares what you look like.
    No judgement.
    No “no talking”.

    Whispers pass from one another.
    Greetings are exchanged in “secret languages”.

    No attention is shpwn.
    Across the room, the clique of good kids.
    Full pages.
    No words.
    All A’s.
    Full concentration.
    Which group are you in?

  17. I`m reading “The false prince” and it is a BOB book. (duh I`ve said that almost four times 🙂 ) It`s about an orphan who is a beggar, a lair, and a stealer. He goes to this orphanage and steals some meat during the day. A guy named conner catches him and adopts him from the orphanage. Conner took other orphans too, and he kept them in a wagon and they couldn`t run away. He told one kid it was safe to leave and killed him because he walked away. Conner told the kids that he was going to use them to trick the kingdom. (I think he said that because he wants to be the new king) Conner was saying things like how he knew people who wanted to be king, and he wanted to be king. He took the kids because he basically wanted to overthrow the kingdom.

    Sorry had 2 get the MC Hammer out… NO HERE IT COMES AGAIN…
    STOP, HAMMER TIME!!!

    anyway i am blogging a creative story 2 day-
    There once was a guy named bob. Bob had the brain of a cow and the appetite of a giraffe. One day bob was on a cruise ship going to cuba with his BFF Dr. Fopolopolas. Bob went into the crows nest and decided he was going to jump off into some body of water. Using his cow brain bob finally decided on the body of water he would jump into. Bob chose the bottle of water that Dr. Fopolopolas was drinking from. When he hit the table he heard a weird noise. Again using his cow brain bob decided the noise was nothing more than the splash he made when he hit the water. Bob never even new it was the sound of his skull cracking.

  20. Hey fellow bloggers, I’m still reading The Prophet of Yonwood and Nickie has been keeping a dog on the third floor in the nursery if I haven’t mentioned this already. If I have, then I’m just saying the same thing from whenever I said that. Anyway, Nickie has been trying to get people to be good because the Prophet said to, and so Yonwood can create a shield of goodness because a war is brewing between some nations and America against the rest of the world, so this goes back to The People of Sparks when Torren told Lina about the Disaster Makes a connection doesn’t it? (I think I’ve said that before) I think the author put this part in the book because it shows that Nickie wants to obey the Prophet so they can create the shield of goodness.

    P.S. Don’t ask me what the shield of goodness is because I have no clue.

  21. Ok, here are my journals for Monday and for tonight.

    Monday: (I am comparing The Silmarillion to a book that I have read)
    This piece of writing is like this is J.R.R. Tolkien’s own bible for Middle Earth and the other lands in the Silmarillion. As some of you might know J.R.R. Tolkien has wrote many other pieces about Middle Earth and the lands beyond, but in those books he never really told of how Middle Earth came to be. So what I am saying is that this is related to the Bible(with the structer.) The Bible tells of how the real world was created and about God and Jesus’s good works. While the Silmarillion tells The story of J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythical world of Middle Earth.

    Tuesday:(creative)

  24. Monday- In SCAT Ms. Starch hasn’t been found yet and Smoke is still getting blamed for it. Smoke came back to school and he was completely transformed. He dressed nice, was a good student, and even turned in the pimple-project that Ma. Starch assigned him. Nick’s father was injured in battle and lost his right arm, which he used for everything. Nick was extremely sad when he saw his father so he taped his arm behind his back and is going to leave it there until his dad gets home. Nick and Marta took matters into their own hands and broke into Ms. Starches house.

    Tuesday
    S-In SCAT the speaker is a third-person narrator because he or she knows what everyone is thinking and they don’t use I.
    O-Smoke came back to school
    A-The intended audience is teenagers who like realistic fiction stories
    P-He wrote this book to entertain with a story about kids that get into trouble
    S-Everyone is confused about the whereabouts of Ms. Starch
    T-The tone of this story is tense because you have a teacher on the O- loose looking for revenge
    N
    E

  25. No time for intro today!!! Aghhhhhh your life’s perpose ISN’T complete!!!!

    Jump high,
    You could reach the moon.
    Swim fast,
    You could go to the ocean.
    Study hard,
    It could get you to college.
    Dance like no one is watching,
    You could end up in Juilliard.
    Sing like your on American Idol,
    Anyone could be listening.
    Open your dreams to the world,
    The world will open it’s heart to you.

    “Oh Come on! Why fire?” This is what I get for snooping around that active volcano… Come to think about it why was that volcano so important, some memory that I lost that fateful night… (ten years prior) “Come on, run for it
    or we’re all doomed to fate and the volcano!” “I’m trying,” yelled Dylan “go on without me!” Then the Earth shook like a leaf in a hurricane, then silence… then the World felt like it was going upside down…

    Inheritance (point of view)

    “Thorn!” Shrieked Murtagh, “You were supposed to watch them!” “Yes sir!” said Thorn. “Then into the sky for the victory of the empire! Watch Saphira Thorn, she’s slippery as an ell, I’ll handle Eragon… Who is that?!
    That’s definitely not Eragon on Saphira…

    Inheritance (point of view)

    Awwww, that sunlight feels so good on my scales, I really hope the varden don’t attack too soon, maybe a night raid. Well who really cares when they attack I just want to lay here all day in this nice, warm, heat… Thorn lets loose a mighty yawn and falls asleep.

    How dare you insult me like that elf! I thought your people had more since than to enrage the old ones especially Me! I Gladr have fought more battles than years you’ve been alive! Well now you that you have my full attention, I’ll help young shadeslayer train. Now leave me in peace Elf.

    Inheritance (author’s purpose)

    Well the first reason that I think he wrote this is to finish the Inheritance (supposed to be trilogy) cycle (Eragon, Eldest, Brisingr, Inheritance)
    The second would be to finally put an end to Galbatorix’s reign of evil
    but I’m not going to spoil it for anyone who hasn’t read them, well i just ruined this blog didn’t I… Well I guess I’m done (Gulia Waise medhe ono- May luck be with you)

    10-23-12
    Mark of Athena (Author’s purpose)

    The reason Rick Riordan wrote this was so that Annabeth could follow the mark of Athena and for all you history buffs or fans of the series have probably heard of the Athena Parthenos You’ll know what Annabeth’s trying to find. but also he uses this book to get you to your second to last destination the ancient city of SPQR or Romana or Rome.

  30. This is still The Prophet of Yonwood, there was a shift in point of view in the book.

    Grover has fixed up his dad’s old shed and has used it to keep his pet snakes. It was a passion he developed when he saw one a long time ago. He has a snake that gives milk so he wanted to get a mouse to feed it, which he found while at Nickie’s house because his dad was working on the plumbing. He needed food for his less important snake so he skips class to go to the forest and gathers some food. He sees someone, and he hides, but the person doesn’t come any closer, and then Grover continues to do what he came for and not attract attention.

  31. Alright so I had jazz band yesterday and it was so insanely fun.
    I just have so much Jazz inside my soul now!
    I bought two books the other day when I was at Books-A-Million because I got a gift card, Because it was my birthday. I decided not to read them though until I was done with all the other books that I’m reading because I keep buying new books and I will start them but I won’t finish them because I have already moved on to whatever my newest book is.
    It’s a ridiculous process.
    So last year I went to this three day music festival called Icthus and it’s a Christian music festival. It was great and I got to hear SWITCHFOOT.
    Anways this guy named Shane Claiborne. He is this really cool dude that came and spoke to us. He has dreadlocks and he lives with about 30 other people in one house.
    They all share the same things and they are like one giant family and they help support each other.
    Well this guy, Shane Claiborne wrote a book called Red Letter Revolution: What if Jesus really meant what he said?
    Where basically, Shane uses things that Jesus said and talks about how we can apply that to our everyday lives.
    Its only aboout 270 pages so I am almost done with it. It wasn’t very long. But I have enjoyed reading that this week.

    Also I am still reading The Lost Hero because I got distracted with my other book^ I am almost done with The Lost Hero and I enjoy it.
    Right now Piper, Leo, and Percy have all gone to visit the wind god Aeolus who lives in Quebec. Aeolus promised not to kill them if they would entertain him on their quest.

    A big war thingy is about to start and people are getting all stressed out and stuff.

    Alright that is all.
    -Julie

  32. Ok, here’s another one of my probably terrible but very deep poems:

    Someone is mean to you,
    You freak out.
    Someone doesn’t like your “look”,
    You go buy new clothes.
    Some one says your dumb,
    You go and cry.
    Someone thinks you ugly,
    You make the biggest of changes just to look “good”
    Life is to short to be sad or stressed all the time,
    I’d rather have one wonderful moment in my life than one thousand sad moments.

    ^
    Ok I’m done.

A tidy cave without a trace of dirt?!” I exclaimed. “Well…” “Really man.” “Oh, but I heard stories saying that dragons were clean reptiles.” “Yeah, but, that doesn’t mean their caves are.” “Did you hear that?!” “Hear what?” “We’ve got to get out of here!”

    Minecraft

    Green grass,
    White sheep, and a pink one, too,
    Diamond so strong,
    Music so calm,
    Temples with shining jewels and metals,
    Then comes night,
    With an “Ugg” out of sight,
    Of a zombie near,
    Does it have armor,
    No one knows,
    Should you fight
    Through the night,
    Until day comes,
    And zombies burn,
    With expected turn.

  37. Geez, What a CRASSY, CO-COW week its been. (joke that only 5th block gets)

    Dont yall just love some good ol’ carden questions? Iknow i do.

    But anyway,i’m reading the atlas of legendary places and it is really weird. It talks about all these places (most of which aren’t even real) like atlantis and some place in britain called avalon. Lots of other wierdness i could mention but decided not to for the sake of most people thinking i’m alot crazier than i really am. So anyway, the whole atlantis thing says that this “lost city” is were the greek or roman city of thera is today. the book says that atlantis was destoyed because it was on top of a volcano!
    WHO BUILDS A CITY ON A VOLCANO?!?!?!?!!?? Apparently the atlantis dudes thought it would work out. I dont think atlantis is real at all. I think the atlantis believers or whack job phsyco paths. This avalon place sounds pretty fake to, i mean COME ON who in their right minds believe in a city that has no winter or summer or fall. Only spring. THAT IS NOT EXISTING ANYWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE!!! Crazy people out there.

  38. Why do people put the date on their blogs?

  39. First day of basketball practice

    Wednesday- Throughout SCAT there has been another side-story besides Nick and Marta’s. The story is about an oil drilling company that has an illegal well set up in the swamp. I predict that one of the workers set the fire so that the kids from Nick’s school wouldn’t come near their drilling site. Somehow this led to Ms. Starch’s disappearance, she probably discovered it and is trying to stop it. A mysterious young man showed up naked and glued to a tree at the well and he made everyone in the company nervous (if a naked man was glued to a tree in my yard I would be too). The men at the company told the man to leave and keep his mouth shut so that the cops didn’t investigate,only to discover the illegal oil.
