smile, you’re in my new book

well, that is, if “war for corbotia” doesn’t come out – or my eighth grade book – or any of my other classes – i’ve put together the last three years of the blog in pdf form – so it’s technically an e-book right now – all six years are like 700 pages – more depending on the font and page size – anyway, so be careful what you write, i guess… 🙂

“the signal and noise” by silver – book on making predictions – and why we’re so bad at it – even with all the data in the world we have now – like, take the current baseball season – basically nothing like what early stat people said – and why? b/c we tend to put too much confidence in data that favors things we like – things that we think explain our world – needless to say, the book was good about making me more aware of how i can slant data to support things – and, moreover, how others do that (it’s really bad in education data)

“going long” – christmas is officially over – i bought three running books from my gift cards at christmas – and so i got and read one of my three this week – which i guess means that christmas will officially be over when i finish all three – maybe summer then – i like to save my running books for hard times – anyway, this book was a collection of runner’s world’s best from the last 30 years – although, most of the essays were from the last few years – i guess my impression was sadness – not that all the stories were sad – but i’d neglected to think much lately about a runner that died at the ’07 trials – and i felt awful about taking life for granted – again

happy ARMT week

  3. What about me? I played the bass drum in The Tempest. If you can’t hear the bass drum, then you were 1. asleep or 2. deaf. Anyway, it appears that I have the honor of blogging before Anna or AnnMarie, which is near impossible.

  4. Ha-ha, Billy! I defeated you at completing my blog earlier than you! Bwa-ha-ha!

  5. This will be the name I blog under for game updates. The only reason you can’t click on my name to go to the game right now is that I am blogging from the library.

  6. So far in reading, I have finished Naruto volumes 8-10. they have started and ende the praleminaries and the hokage has given them a month to train.

  7. Now I’ve read Naruto volumes 11-12 and checked them in, all in one day. The sand tribes and sound tribes are plotting to restart a war between the tribes and it will start in the middle of the third part of the exam. First up in the tournament-like battles are Naruto and Neji. After being pounded from one end of the feild to the other and calling upon the strength of the Nine-Tailed Fox, naruto wins the battle. Later in the infermery, Hiashi ,the main branch high ruler, explains the events that led to his fathers death. He had willfully aloud himself to be the body double and die instead of Hiashi.

  8. Actually, I’m usually the 3rd-5th one to blog first. (In this case pretty much 4th. Talking about people not number of blogs) Anyway, it’s ARMT week…and they all say it’s
    Alabama
    Reading and
    Mathmatics
    Test
    But the REAL acronym for it is:
    Alabama
    Really long
    Math stuff
    Test

    But they never put the REAL thing because they don’t want us to freak out and realize how incredibly LOONG these things are.
    Well, since this may be my last blog EVER, I am going to say a few important things:
    1.I AM IN A BOOK YAYZ
    2.EMILY IS STALKING LESS AND LESS EVERY DAY. WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO?!
    3.FRED MAKES UP STUFF SO HIS IMAGINARY KINGDOM CAN BE BIGGER
    4.BACON IS AWESOME!!!
    5.And I’m a little sad to say this one, since I’m not going to blog again:
    Queen of Bacon and Cowz, is out!!!
    (I still rule the bacon , steve, and cow kingdom. NO MATTER WHAT)
    🙂

  9. Well im going to take a vote. if you want me to tell how graig dies post a comment on my comment. if you just want a sneak peak on the 2nd chapter well…. read this. simple.

    Chapter 2: Mayfield’s (somewhat) revenge

    Mayfeild had made corbo think that he was defeated but mayfeild had other plans. After the war mayfeild had fled to his backup base where he had to live with his mom because she owned the place. Mayfeild had an elevator also but it led across to Canada the only place he could pick up babes. Mayfeild new if he could seduce one lady he could turn her into his wife and take over the world dominating Corbotia. Mayfeild was working on a design similar to the A-Corbo butut he called it the A-Mayfeild. This machine would allow mayfeild to call on an army of fairies to bring him a flower to win over a special lady. Mayfeild worked day and night when his mom was watching her soap operas. The crying would distract mayfeild so much that mayfeild would give up and start crying himself.

    Any mistakes are temporary as it is just a draft

  10. PS: there will only be 2 more sneak peaks as i don’t want to spoil the entire book. these sneak peaks will be on the next two chapters. the book alternates between kingdoms in chapters so that is why.

    PSS: If you want to be co-worker on the book I’m sorry. i am an independent person i don’t like partnerships

  11. BOOK: Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince
    PROMPT: Creative – Part 1
    SIDE NOTES: When I say Turtles, I don’t mean the creatures, I mean a small utility robot that is used for multiple complex building and mining operations. Also, read my awesome poem. It’s called FLAMES ARE RED.
    Flames are red.
    Poison is blue.
    There are a lot of ways to die.
    One may happen to YOU!
    That is all. Look at the title of the creative. It will be a ten-chapter/part “book” in a book.

    Creative – Slenderman: The End of the Beginning
    Well, welcome, again, to my story. Do you recall the Slenderman? No? Remember, the tall, faceless man who wears a suit? Recall the experiment that went horribly wrong? Now, is it all coming back to you? Have a bunch of vivid images formed in your mind? Yes? Good. Now, we’re going back to that story. Remember that I killed him? Well, strange things have been happening to me since then. After a year of research and investigation, I discovered that I never killed him, I only slowed him down by a lot. In fact, I discovered that… Well, wait, this may require some explanation. You know what we would call a whole lifetime supply of food? Yes, keep that in your mind. I found that a lifetime supply of children’s souls were freed when I defeated Slenderman.

  12. BOOK: Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince

    Creative – Slenderman: The End of the Beginning (Part 2)
    Yes, children’s souls. They were brutally eaten by Slenderman. He didn’t care, as long as he was fed. That was how I defeated him, I cut off his food supply after he trapped me in a forest and I escaped. It’s not like I destroyed anyone’s soul. I helped the people who were his prey defend their selves in the forest. I told them the location of the notes that explained how to escape. I also learned that, for Slenderman, adults are more filling, but they don’t taste as good as children do. He went for the filling ones, as he could see my plan. Though, he was too late, as I had already set my plan in motion. As soon as he chose one target as his prey, I would teach them about Slenderman, the forest, and the notes. The first one, I had earlier learned was extremely important to pick up LAST and last only! Otherwise, Slenderman figuring that his prey would, he would set a trap and prepare for an ambush.

  13. The King- of Dinosaurs, Birds, Sea Anemones, Armadillos, Snakes, Stick People and Ninja Master says:

    Keaton, quit making up weird stuff to put in your empire.

    1. You can’t be the King of Ducks- Tucker is King there.
    2. You can’t be the King of a Robot Turtle!!!

    The King has made his announcement.

    HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
