you never know when your running habit comes in handy outracing someone to a tomb…
“origin: buffy” – how buffy got started – very clever comic – the artist took the original screen play by whedon and then applied it to a comic setting – b/c what happened in ’92, the script got run over by the director (happens in hollywood) and so whedon was so upset that when he was offered the chance to “fix” buffy later, the TV show began – so i enjoyed thoroughly the comic
“racing the rain” – oh, a great book – will be my recommendation for high school BOB next year –
“41” – w wrote about hw – or 43 wrote about 41 – regardless, it was a great read – w wrote b/c he’d been with a historian who said he’d wished john quincey adams had written about his dad – and it’s truly a good idea – the personal touches in the book are really neat – like that hw would devote saturday mornings to writing letters – that he really never developed enemies – that even potential enemies he worked hard to make friends – we could use more men like that
happy easter

Huh…very interesting..
Well, April fools has just happened so i have decided to talk about some quotes about april fools:
Did you know there is no clear origin to April fools, some people believe it originated in 1582
“The first of April is the day we remember what we are the other 364 days of the year.”
Mark Twain
^
April fools is the day people let their worst come out. People play pranks on each other and most people take it great knowing that its only a joke but some people go too far. On April 1st you realize how you’ve been the rest of the year because you do “bad” things
“Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever.”
Charles Lamb
^
On april 1st more people fall subject to pranks and it shows how foolish the world is becoming by doing totally out of proportion things just because its a certain day.
I know detective’s name
so to the detective i say: Ha!
to my fans i say:…(because i have no fans because everyone hates me)
to my haters(everyone)i say: i told you so
and finally to dr.mafeld i say: you’re next.
I found my Star Wars book!
“Star Wars”;Line:”Ben Kenobi…am i glad to see you”
Commentary: This is an extremely important line because this is where Luke meets Obi Wan Kenobi,His mentor whom eventually teaches him the ways of the force. This is the guy that sacrificed himself in ep.4 so that luke and the rest of the group could get to safety. He was also Anakin’s master as well. He battled anakin so well that anakin ended up having to be put in a darth vader after it was all done.

legal defense
by mayfield
the defense attorney is heroic
who takes on the case everyone
admits guilt to
when the judge, jury, witnesses,
and even the defendant admits
to the crime
we’d be better off
admitting to our own crimes
the “mistakes” we explain away
for our defense
rests not on our brilliant
pleas but the advocate
we have on our behalf
remember, poetry month
“Sportscenter by Bunny”
by Mayfield
Opening Day
full of hope
Mascot Races
full of fun
until…
Live, from DC,
President Washington
is pummeled by a bunny,
leaping from the stands
onto the field,
ruining our great first
leader’s chances of winning
the Mascot Races
I know GW predates secret
service but someone ought
to have his back up there
I mean, this happened a year
ago too – so that TR could win
Do we remember TR? He signed
away our lands for parks,
parks for bunnies,
bunnies that now take out
the frontrunner so he can
win races
The bunny must die…
Now after Elijah escaped by showing his amazing chest hair he decided it was time for a break. He needed to let loose and chillax for a day or two. He called up his friend Dave from the cow stabbing orginozaztion(supplier of meat for the tacopier) to look over his kingdom for a few days while he relaxes on the amazing beaches of the Wild West because that makes since. He booked the soonest flight. He had to buy two till kits for him and his stupid junk and the guy decides to sing two tickets to paradise because he was leaving tonight. Elijah simply leaped over the counter and started to claw th mans face off until he stopped singing. He got on the plane and was arrested for assault. He just flashed his six pack abbs and they passed out… Along with the pilot so he flew the plain himself. He crashed on an island of course because he dpes not know how to fly a plain. He was the only survivor. Probably because he kicked every one else off the plain because they wanted to touch his six pack abbs. He had to survive with only a volly ball with a face painted on it as a friend.
I made the adventures of Elijah long this time because I forgot to do them yesterday
A race going on In washington dc
George Washington was one
I think there were 3
then something hopped the fence
it was a bunny
it tackled George Washington
then teddy Roosevelt won
and was filled with much glee
Creative:In response to Dave 2
But what Dave did not know is that WaspMan did not truly trust him with the Tacopirian land. So WaspMan made a decoy Tacopire so Dave would feel like he was trusted by somebody other than Dave’s slave,Kaleb. So while WaspMan and his buds were in paradise (we just go to Quenkingdom because they have nice beaches) Dave was struggling to find food on the decoy island. Because I didn’t leave him any. So after I get back to my decoy island when my week long trip is done I see dave crawling on the ground. His body is rotting away and his clothes are torn to shreds. He screams,”Elijah, Elijah” and I look at him and scoff then i say,”Elijah? Who’s Elijah? I’m WaspMan and these are my Taco Minions”. Then He says,”You. You are Elijah. You did this to me!”. Then I look around and see his slave, Kaleb. He is dead. He has blood dripping out of his head and what looks bite marks all over him. I say,”You monster! You killed Kaleb!”. He then gets a demented look in his eye and turns to see me. He udders these next words slowly,”I’ll…do…the…same…to…you”.Then he lunges at me and my Jedi instincts kick in and I pull out my lightsaber using it to chop his head off. Dave. Is. Dead.

the new emperor of ice cream
by mayfield
take the knife, in the moonlight it gleams
for i alone am the emperor of ice cream
bunny blood runs fierce like a stream
for i alone am the emperor of ice cream
your looming death is my theme
for i alone am the emperor of ice cream
you shall die soon, there is no other scheme
for i alone am the emperor of ice cream
bunny blood boils so fierce it steams
for i alone am the emperor of ice cream
your death like the bunnies i now deem
for i alone am the emperor of ice cream
your frozen brain begins to scream
for i alone am the emperor of ice cream
mwha, ha, ha…
Dave promised a response to my response but it hasn’t happened so we will all blow off his story like it’s not really if it does come.
I CANT WAIT TILL FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
It will take 12 hours 😮
I apologize for the graphic nature of yesterday’s response i just wanted to end the adventures of elijah series. But my real book ‘Tales of the Tacopire’ is going well
loki lover, forgot – but your sis is on a 12 hour ride to montevallo tomorrow – she just doesn’t know it yet… 🙂
“Star Wars”;Line:”What is it”…”Your father’s lightsaber”
Commentary: this line is really important because it is when luke’s life as a jedi begins. This is when he gets his lightsaber. His all important laser sword. a jedi’s weapon of choice. then shortly after he gets his lightsaber he begins his adventures. one thing that allways disappoints me about Star Wars is that luke doesn’t REALLY become a jedi until yoda teaches him to use the force in ep.5 butthis is when he begins his life as a jedi. Also this poses luke to ask about his father. I think obi wan does a pretty good job of explaining anakin to luke without saying,’hey your dad is darth vader’
waSPmanOut
what does the ‘3134’ in ‘lokilover3134’ mean? I’m just curious because they seem to have no use as a date but a have a theory that they may be a lucky number. but it doesn’t matter because no one will answer my question anyways
Okay here is a poem in honor of national poetry month. hope you lick it. *no sixth grade, that wasnt a typo.
Hope
We all have this faint dream
This little sliver of happiness
That is derived from our hope.
We all want it to be real
We want it to be the truth
We want our hope to become reality.
There’s always one thing
That sticks out more than the rest
The thing that sounds the best
That we eagerly hope to be true.
Line
The guage was already 1/4 of the way full!
Commentary
I chose this line because I am reading the book called exiled and it is about this family who is in a drought and it has been happening for about 5 years and they can only use 500 gallons a week and John took a shower and used 1/4 of the water and it is only Monday
Line
You are really making me do this?
Commentary
I chose this line because Brooke the mom said that john had to clean the filters because he used 1/4 of the water they could use In a week and it was also the first day of school and he had to go so Brooke is making him clean the filter so he isn’t really clean and also so he learns a lesson

Candy land
I was In a goodie shop
Then I saw gum drops
And with some change in my hand
I headed to candy land
When I saw the ice cream man
I got myself a chocolate ice cream can!
Summer
Summer is the thing of my dreams
The time when I can eat a lot of ice cream
Days seem to last forever
You don’t even have to be a little clever
Summer seems too short
It’s truly a bummer!
Line- And father Thomas had a astonished look on his face
Commentary-Line- Johnny is leaving all souls because he was in a coma from having a seizure and all souls is mean to him. Also his mom works 2 jobs there and she is mad that she is getting paid minimum wage
Hey Elijah I was busy today (totally didn’t forget) so shut your long named mouth(it’s 12:00 right now as I’m typing this)
So Dave was transfers to one of his clones because of his brain mind trasmigufire and was enraged by the betrayal of his trusted friend Elijah whom he swore vengeance on as his head fell to the ground. He needed his weapon of mass tofu. Distraction. The tofumagesiaafier. And yes it’s a real word.dave charges to front gate of the tacopier wall only to remember that it was taco vacation ninth where every taco on earth goes to one little beach to try to get a tan. The difficulty level of finding the tacos is well over 9000. Unless you have a hungry bull dog but sadly the Walmart was sold out.
So starteth the blog war and the hunt for darth blablabla

okay, since we have been in Mr. Mayfields class for two hours the past couple of days, I have been able to read a lot of In the Heart of the Sea. In this journal, I will be summarizing what I’ve read so far this week and then writing anothe poem in honor of National Poetry Month.
The book Into the Heart of the Sea started out very slow. It spent a lot of time telling the reader about Nantucketers and what they do in Nantucket. When the characters finally set sail, the books plot began to escalate. They began to spot whales and spear them, up until the point where they got rammed for the second, and last time. The huge sperm whale sunk the Essex, and the men are currently stranded in the whaleboats. They plan on going towards South America in hopes of spotting another ship.
well I accidentely hit send, so here’s my poem, a limerick.
Bus
Picking up passengers
Kids screaming from the back, “Faster!”
Buses are a normal routine
Except the bus floor is quite a scene.
Yes, the bus is nice until you walk out in front of it.

What Dave was not in realization of was that even if he had had a bulldog to sniff out the tacos i wouldn’t be there. I knew that was not the real Dave because he was so easy to dispose of. But i knew that real dave WOULD start looking for me soon. So being a half-wasp I spread my wings and flew to different planet. It was somewhere dave would never expect a wasp due to how cold it is. But I used my omnitrix to turn into heatblast. So as a question to dave: Can you find me?
(oh, and FYI dave, if you don’t know what the omnitrix google it)

April
Cal walked up to his mom and she flinched and stumbled backwards, like he was going to hurt her. He had so many emotions going through him at one time he felt like he was going to pass out. But then he knew that he did not have time for passing out, because if he did than the cops would get to him and not only would he be thrown in jail and know one would believe him about ANYTHING and think of him as the crazy guy that put his sister in a coma and SHOT his uncle, he would not be able to solve the mystery of the Ormond riddle!!!
🙂 🙂 🙂
April
So he ran out of the room as soon as he could while he heard his name being called by his mom AND Rafe. Then he heard yelling, “SHE’S RESPONDING!!! SHE’S MOVING!!” and he smiled while he was running for his LIFE. Then over the intercom it said, “ALERT . ALERT . ALERT . THIS IS not A DRILL!!! THER IS A CRIMINAL RUNNING THROUGH THE HALLS OF THIS HOSPICE. HE M-A-Y BE ARMED.” Then people behind him started yelling “Callum THATS Callum Ormand!!” Then he put his hoodie over his head so if they caught footage of him they would not get a clean picture of him, for people to identify him on the news.
🙂 🙂 🙂
So Elijah was being a crazy little stalker guy for the five thousandth time. Mr mayfield cought him in the act of hitting on the fifth graders. He threw him in the dungeon and called him names for a long time till he left to go to bed. The perfect opportunity to escape. Elijah got the ear wax out of his ear and made a wax key. He put the key in the door only to realize that earwax is a terrible substance to make a key out of

“The more you uncover the more sad you will feel” ~ Bogus
The reason Bogus said this is because Cal was uncovering more about his fathers death. So this would obviously make someone feel sad. So while they were digging through files and searching about the Ormand riddle they found things about his father and his death. This could also be relative normal real life situations. Like the more you find out or “uncover” about a friend, most likely you will dig up some “dirt” on them. So it could make you sad and depressed.
🙂 🙂 🙂
I finished reading a book called conspiracy 365 and the middle through the end the kid is trying to figure out what the ormond riddle, angel, and singularity is. He comes home one day to his uncle lying down on the floor and then there’s his little sister crumpled on the ground in her room and he feels and she’s not breathing. He freaks out but soon calms down and tries to give her cpr, and finally after multiple attempts she starts to breathe, so at least she has a chance. He starts running from the house so he is not kidnapped again and all the sudden a cop sees him running from the scene so the next day his face is on the news as the prime suspect of what happened, so he gets a hideout place which is an old abandoned house and remains there until hes off the hook.

Baseball
The crack of the bat
The smack of the gum
The sunflower seeds all over the field
The sweat running down your face
The nervousness at the plate
The dirt all on your uniform
The gatorade all on your lips
The pitchers gunning it in at 99mph.
The crowd roaring and doing the wave
Baseball one heck of a game.

This is what ive been reading in The Glory Field
After Elijah got into some issues with white people he was forced to leave so they wouldn’t punish him. Then it fast forwards a few years and Goldie, Elijah’s dream girl comes up to Chicago with him. They got married and had Richard Lewis and Luvenia Lewis. Luvenia is a maid and does hair when she not working as a maid. She has a dream of going to college. She wants to attend the University of Chicago. But the bank won’t lend her the money unless she gets a paper signed that the houseowner of where she works as a maid signs that paper which says the he will keep her working for four years until she is able to pay it back off. But the owners daughter dosen’t think he will do it. But to go along with that her dad Elijah wants her to come back down to Curry Island in Tennessee with the rest of their family, but she wants to stay. That’s where I stopped.
Poetry Month
We all have dreams
Deep down inside
We all want to make them come true
Most of us cried
But that’s not the thing to do
We have to gut up
And just believe in EACHOTHER
I believe In you
Cause you have dreams just like
I do…
Week 1 of testing is officially over. Tomorrow we return for a normal day, but for only one day.
I’m going to do a creative that has to do with Write in the Middle and then a regular creative.
His smile is dazzling. His eyes are like crystals in the light. He was always overshadowed. His tattoos cover his body like paint on a canvas. He could never decide how to wear his hair so he just cut it short. He is the one who left. He is Zayn 🙂
It had always seemed so odd. The way the rain pitter-pattered on the grass and the leaves and the roofs. At least, it had always been odd to Kevin. It always gave him a sense that nothing is ever at ease- not really, anyway. Something was always alert, and despite the calming sense rain could give- rain always made him alert.
It was raining when Kevin had exited the funeral home after the death of his father. All at once the alertness returned to his veins. He was not aware that it had been raining, for there was a lot of action that went on during the funeral. The piano, the relatives talking, the crying, and Kevin attempting to avoid awkward conversations with his extended family. He had never been good at socializing. Most of the time he ended up embarrassing himself. School was normally a nightmare for him, since talking to people was a challenge.
The only person he could talk to comfortably was his father, and now that his father had passed, his options were severely limited. He had tried talking to his mother, but she didn’t understand like his father did, for his father had gone through the same awkwardness. It was his father that always reassured him that it was going to be okay in the end- he was going to get married and raise a family- that the awkwardness didn’t last forever.
Kevin entered the car he and his mother had arrived in. He sat in the passenger seat alone, for his mother was still being comforted in the funeral home. The isolation attempting at teasing him, but he swatted it away. He was not going to cry, even if he was alone. He had to stay strong for his father. Besides, crying was a burden. Not to mention the fact that crying was painful, it was also messy. The runny nose and the soaking wet face was something Kevin didn’t care to be a part of.
Feeling he wasn’t alone, he peered out of the window and discovered that his instinct was correct. Across the parking lot was a distant relative smoking a cigarette. Kevin’s father was a smoking pro; he could go through two packs a day, until it finally killed him. Kevin felt inside his left pocket and felt the lighter that his father always used. Until now, he had never touched it. It was always on his father’s person, like a woman carries her purse. Maybe, just once, Kevin himself could smoke one, just in honor of his old man.
The thought became very appealing instantly, but his rational side tried to eliminate it. It was like having a miniature devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.
“Go on, do it for your good old man,” says the devil.
“No no, you’ll become addicted and go down the same road he did,” says the angel.
“It’s just one. He’d feel proud of ya,” says the devil.
“You can’t do it! Your mother does not need the stress of knowing her son smokes,” says the angel.
“Don’t listen to her. She’s such a goody two shoes.” says the devil.
“How dare you!” says the angel.
Kevin was beginning to wish the thought had never crossed his mind now, but in his eyes, the devil was right. He had to do it for his father, even if the very activity ended up killing him. He finally decided to do it.
Okayyyyyyy so I’m reading Little Women in class. Meg spends two weeks with her friends, who are very rich and they make her feel like a peasant and it’s quite amusing. However, they lend her clothes and they dress her every night so she begins to get a little snobby. The night before she goes back home she and her friends go to a party, and that’s when Laurie shows up and sees how much of a jerk Meg has become, and is disgusted. But then for some reason he gets over it and asks her to dance, and then he gets mad at her again and leaves. Ugh. Boys right? 🙂
Yay. Journals. I really don’t feel good right now, if you can’t tell. I only read into things deeply and philosophically when I don’t feel good.
Dialectical Journal 1:
Line: “It’s not about automatically having control. It’s about taking control with the resources you have.” (Asher, 253)
Commentary: This sentence refers to your future. I personally believe it to be true. You can never have total control of your future. The stupidest things can
cause a domino effect and ball up into bigger and bigger things, especially things that effect other people. You can’t just wake up one day and decide you
don’t want to be homeless. You have to do everything in your power to prevent it. You can’t just fixate your mind on it and it will come true.
Dialectical Journal 2:
Line: “If we don’t keep something bad from happening, it’ll keep spreading until it’s nearly impossible to do anything about.”
Commentary: This is more true than most people realize. Most people think that they can just ignore something bad and it will go away. That is a dangerous belief and can cause the world to slowly become full of hate. An example would be bullying. So many people just ignore it, and that only make it worse.
Alternative Ending:
I think about my decision to keep the photograph. I open my dresser again and stare at it. It is too emotional. I contemplate throwing it back into the trash, but I’m torn. The memory was incredibly painful, but it was a memory.
I’ve made up my mind. I’m throwing it away. With tears in my eyes, I drop it back into the trash can.

The End… Why are you still reading? I told you this is the end. Stop reading. STOP! You know what? Fine. Fine. I’ll give you a better story, but you butter not complain.
This is a story about a piece of sentient bread and its epic journey to become toast. This is but a slice of this bread’s adventure. The bread, named Shlofnor, is nutty about becoming toast, border-lining obsession. All of his friends learned to ignore the urge to attempt to stop him in his crumbs. Eventually, he decided to look for the epic toaster on top of Mount Yeastmore.
It was outlawed, but Shlofnor would stop at nothing to get toasted, even if it means getting caught by the Loaf Lords.
Shlofnor kneads to overcome the the Loaf Lords and rise to the toaster.
I meant to say “Shlofnor kneads to overcome the Loaf Lords and rise to the toaster.
