in a new york frame of mind…

so mercedes week – my yearly quest to run two loops around downtown sort of fast…

last week’s reading was good – well, one book was…

“my beloved world” by sotomayor – i showed you this book – we will write – maybe this week – i forget what i leave behind for the sub – on the book for journals at some point – but great biography – good picture of new york – of puerto rico – of princeton – of growing up and learning what you want to do in life – of trying again – of being gifted and finding out what that means – very encouraging read

“driving mr. yogi” – for the baseball season, for the last 13 years, yogi berra, one of the most famous baseball players ever, has been driven around in spring training by one of the yankees’ best living pitchers – ron guidry – good story – quick read – about how you care and develop relationships with people significantly older than you – they are important too

i know, i know, two books – you’d think i’m slacking or something – in my defense, i have a really long biography on a continent i’m reading right now – the history of ice is quite brilliant, believe it or not – that or it’s amazing what people will fight over

  1. I made it into the Literary Magazine! I wasn’t really expecting it, because I wrote it at the last minute in my head and threw down on paper.

    I am blogging on the computer in the front room because it’s the only one that doesn’t use wi-fi, and lucky for that because OUR WI-FI’S DOWN!!!!!! I’m really starting to freak out, because without wi-fi, I have no one to talk to except my family, but I’d rather talk to other people.

    I’m reading Brisingr, and Eragon and Roran have made it into the Ra’zac’s lair and are fighting them, while Saphira fights the steeds of the Ra’zac. Also, the seeds of the Ra’zac are also their parents, which is really weird because they look nothing like the Ra’zac. Anyway, Saphira killed one of their parents, and the Ra’zac can’t defeat Eragon and Roran because Eragon put spells on themselves to protect them. I stopped where they’re chasing them and they can’t find them in the darkness, which is bad for them because the Ra’zac are strongest in the dark.

  2. Wednesday- Since I finished Daniel X Armageddon, I am reading Daniel X Demons and Druids. This book is by James Patterson and Adam Sadler. This book and Daniel X Armageddon both have the same first chapter. It starts with Daniel and his friends getting into a van to get to London faster. What they don’t know is that it is a bad alien’s car. In the Armageddon the car makes them pass out. In Demons and Druids it almost kills them by strangling them with tentacles. Daniel’s father comes in his head and tells him to turn back time. Daniels turns it back and ends up blowing up the van. When they get to London, they find a half-finished apartment that work has been stopped on. Dana, Emily, Willie, Joe, and Daniel go in and find that it is a lot nicer than it looks. Vampires lived there and they are about to fight them when they find out that the others are there.

    Thursday- I was digging the footing for my brand new basketball goal. All of a sudden I hit something really hard. I looked but i couldn’t find anything. Going inside to find a shovel, I had an idea. I ran down to the boathouse to find some gunpowder, a fuse, and a plastic bottle. When I was done with my contraption, i lit the fuse and ran. When I heard a boom i went back over to admire my ingenuity when I noticed something shiny in the ground. At a closer look, I found out that it was a golden nugget. It was the size of my fist and worth a lot of money. I dug up most of the yard and found more than twenty pounds of gold! And that was with just a shovel! That’s when I got my dad. He was trembling mad when he saw that i had dug up some of the grass. Then I showed him the bucket of gold that I had collected and cleaned. He immediately put me and my gold into the backseat of his old, beat-up truck. I knew that our lives were about to change forever.

  3. hey mr msyfield i will blog for twenty minutes on what i need to do to prepare for baseball season
    1- listen to any music possible..
    2- eat sunflower seeds all day..
    3- wear the same baseball shirt everyday untill the game
    4- YELL AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS..
    well thats all just a joke what i need to focus on is getting the team ready instead of playing around all practice. they just keep on yelling and screaming and the coaches dont do anything except make us run for yelling and playing around which is good if you make sure that they wont play around again but i know this team they will keep playing around untill they die but i am still keeping my head up thinking something could knock some sense into them. i had no idea we had a peprally tomm but whatever i guess we can if we want to. haha gets me out of class so works for me. have fun trying to keep your sixth grades undercontroll just tell them the peprally has been cancelled and scare them that would be awesome. anyways im off to bed now later:)

  4. well, missed my deadline for wednesday. so, no one is really gonna be reading this, since i’m doing it at 7:00 pm on Thursday night…… 🙂

    but anyway, i’ve began reading a new series called Warriors. it’s about cats that live in the forest and live in these different clans from each other, and they have giant catfights, WARS almost, and the books are really cool and have that on edge exitement that every middle schooler wants. so far, i’m on the sixth book in the series, THE DARKEST HOUR. they’re REALLY good books. they are appropriate for 4th grade and up, and use lots of discriptivity. the author is Erin Hunter. i think Hunter wanted to throw in an idea, or a thought, about what she thinks cats do when we can’t see them, when they leave the house, when you see a stray, there’s more to the cat than meets the eye.

    here’s some more creative writing.

    “Space”
    A vast black sheet
    that goes on forever
    that spreads out over the universe.

    Little balls of gas
    glowing natural light
    rocks of spectacular masses
    with rings of peculiar gasses
    circling in slow paths
    floating around in the midst of emptiness.

    This mystery
    with no history
    has nothing to hide.

    Vast beauty,
    empty black skies
    with no end.

    Truly, with no end.

    well, that’s all for now! i gotta go to bed or i won’t be able to stay awake for tomorow’s classes. i’ll do more blogging next week. 🙂

    bye!! 🙂

  5. Wazzup here are my blogs for yesterday and today.
    I will be writing creatively.

    “Storm”
    The nails are coming.
    The thorns are falling.
    The cross is laid.

    The nails break.
    The thorns take.
    The cross wakes.

    The nails tremble under the growing weight.
    The thorns are stained.
    The cross prevails.

    A new hope wakes.
    Death is beaten at its own game.
    The storm ceases and the sun brings the life of day.

  7. Waz up? So tonight I am going to create real-world examples of happeninigs from “The Comedy of Errors”.

    Kevin and Stacey are boyfriend and girlfriend. Stacey’s sister Lucy is hanging around them at Stacy and her house.

    K-“You have a nice house Stacey.”
    S-“Thanks, I’ll go get some drinks.”
    Stacey exits.
    K-“You look mighty nice Lucy.”
    L-“Haha, save it for Stacey.”
    K-“Stacy… is out of the picture.”
    L-“What are you saying?”
    K-“Lucy, you are the prettiest girl I’ve
    ever met. You are great food, in a pile of garbage.
    You-”
    L-“Knock it off loser, are you cheating on my sister?”
    K-“Stacy, does not exist any longer.”

  10. Grimms fairy tales~ the twelve dancing princesses
    Everyone has heard of the story of the twelve dancing princesses. But this one goes deeper into detail. The 12 daughters of the king loved to dance. They had always gotten the best dance shoes money could buy. But the shoes were always worn out so quickly. The king wondered how the shoes had be worn so fast. But the princesses had a secret. Every night they would go to this magical world where they could dance all night long. The king said that whoever could figure out where they were going at night could marry which ever daughter of their choice. But there was a catch. If the man didn’t find out where they went after two nights. Then they would be sent to their death.

    SIDE NOTES: AnnMarie, look up Slenderman, I think you will like the story. MWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAA!

    Creative:
    Slenderman tried to lure me into the woods, but I reisted him. That really angered him. He began to follow me where ever I went. I got tired of this. (con.)

  12. BOOK: The Hobbit
    PROMPT: Creative (con.)
    SIDE NOTES: AnnMarie, I gave you simple intructions, CARRY THEM OUT!

    Creative:
    I began to watch around me. I didn’t let anything destract me from my goal. It was to kill Slenderman. I knew this was likey impossible, but I still tried. He got to the point of which he tried to, desperatly, kill me. This time, though, he didn’t attempt to lure me to the woods, he didn’t care if he was seen, he didn’t even care if he had to kill me in plain sight. He just wanted me dead.

    Well, I’m not going to blog (write a terrible poem) I’m just going to write some lyrics. (Maybe a poem if i get bored) (I’ll just finish the lyrics i started to write in my journals (class journals)

    Lyrics:

    “I like sleepin’ late on Sundays,
    and wearin’ my heart on my sleeve.
    I love the color that midnight makes,
    and that’s just the truth about me.
    I’m all about music and laughter,
    and fillin’ my pockets with dreams.
    I’m right on the verge of sayin “I love you”,
    and that’s just the truth about me.”

    ^
