so lots of books to cover this week…
“racing the rain” – a reread from a month ago – still awesome – merged well with schs track going to regionals this weekend – and i had kids that qualified for state – down at the beach – so it’s always good to have kids qualify for the beach – i bookmarked several passages this time around that i really liked – one about athletics, that the thing about athletes is the trying – that you try
“first class” – grete waitz won the NYC marathon in 1978 having previously only run 12 miles – she beat her husband up at the finish line b/c he conned her into running it – she went on to win the NYC marathon a total of 7/8 times – just unprecedented – tragically, she died of cancer a few years ago – this book came out in the mid 1980s when things were good for her – i got the book from auburn – i love old books that no one is reading – like that book has probably sat on a shelf for 20 years waiting for someone – i think that’s kind of cool
“never say no” – parents to switchfoot – or jon and tim foreman – great book with parenting advice – teaching isn’t parenting, but lots of parallels
“write back soon” – writing strategies – for handwritten notes – irony that i’m blogging this
hope everyone has a great week – seventh grade can skip blogs and journals thursday night if they turn in their work thursday
mafeld
First.
Cole beat me by 1 today golfing, 116-115. 18 holes not 9. That would be sad
Close to first!!
This is slightly disappointing. Two comments?
i’ve blocked a lot of waspman – he’s hitting on loki lover again
Oh….That explains a lot.
I hate to say this but: detective is right
where is the blog fandom at? Oh well, i guess i’ll just have to blog extra for them. >=D
Block me all you want dr mafeld but i will find a way to get through. I always get through
waspman is invincible to all methods of attack – except for those from lokilover – she has the key to his heart
no one remembers me do they because dr mafeld always blocked my comments out
WAIT A MINUTE. in my book about waspman he pretty much kills his wife (which is NOT lokilover). love does work on me. especially if it is from her. also i have only my 3 keys to my heart. one is on my tv another is in my shoe and the last is under my mattress. you notice how lokilover is in possession of none of those
Why do i even try to prove myself
Woah i realized i made a MAJOR typo on that last comment. I meant to say love does NOT work on me. It does NOT work on me. i accidentally left one word out. I did not mean what i said.
Mr.Mayfield please don’t take that the wrong way. i accidentally left out one word.
“star wars”;line:’it struck home cutting the old man cleanly in half’
Commentary:NOOOOOOOOOO!!! This has always been a sad part of the movies for me. But then i’m sitting here reading and i know it’s going to happen. I’ve seen the movie enough to know that ben dies. But in the book it is just that much sadder. It even gets descriptive about it. What I don’t get though is that 1.i know kenobi could have beaten vader so why didn’t he 2. why doesn’t vader kill luke,leia,han and chewie since they are just standing there in his face
WaspMan Out
Ummm…. Ok then…. I don’t know how to respond to that……
And the romance continues…
I ship it.
I picked you fir my fred, amanda and titus vs everyone else game at scholars bowl. You can trust me. Waspman is what people call “hitting on you.” Dont be alarmed just calmly tell him no.
*name is way too long
You forgot a key, food. That makes 4.
Ok first of all hall I have no words over your story today…
Kateopia is coming back
Bunnies sold for food
Is the way that it shall be
When you live in Katetopia with the
Katetopians and me
It will be back
From wasp mans grasp
We will rain on
Forever and ever
Katetopia is bomb
Kingdom
Live on
In the words of Darth Vader,”NOOOOOOO!!!”. No one was forgiving of my typo. I sent out several apology letters yesterday. Why does no one understand?
shout outs:
to bri: it was a typo
to detective:it was a typo
to victoria:it was a typo
to dr mafeld:it was a typo
to kate:1.you spelled ‘reign’ incorrectly 2.how are you going to steal my country from me?
To the blog fandom,
I know you think what I accidentally said yesterday in my comment was funny. I just need you to know that I got hooked up in my ranting and mistakenly left the word,’not’. I ask that you please not take it any more out of proportion than it already is. I am human. I make mistakes just like you. What my point is is that I apologize for the comment. It was not true.
Sorrowfully,
WaspMan of the Tacopire
“star wars”;line:”If money is what you love… that’s what you will receive”
Commentary:Alright at this point princess Leia is fed up with Han. She’s just trying to ignore him but then something outrageous happens. Han asks her for money because he saved her. Hmmm,something’s not right there. Still, she’s just like,’you know what fine if you want money you can have it’. then luke starts being all secretly romantic and stuff. Nothing makes sense. I guess I wouldn’t make sense either if I just ran around the Death Star,saved a princess,and watched an old man die at the hands of Darth Vader.
Look at my new name
WaspMan(of the Tacopire) Out
Umm…..
My own sister has turned against me! But still, even under her influence, No love life for me! 🙂
To King $1,000 Colonol Emperor Jen’ari Earl Regent Baron Chief Jedi-Master Grand-Master Admiral Councillor General Captain Major Darth Commander Sensei WaspMan MuTanTo,leader of the Tacopire and KateTopia and Quenkingdom,is in a new war : so, nope.

Cal kind of moved away from the “Victor” guy and then rememberd what Dr. Snugeglasser had told him, “there is a big guy that thinks that everyone has been replaced and wants to ‘free’ Mr. Snugeglasser from the evil in his eyes.” So Cal just sat there not making any movement so this crazy guy wouldn’t think that Cal had been replaced. Then the man named Victor said, “You know… these people are fake! All of them! They are being replaced by evil ‘things’. And they are going to try to destroy us ALL.” Then Cal nodded and looked away real fast. “You can see it in there eyes… They don’t act he same and they don’t look the same…”

Cal kept trying to keep his distance until he looked up at the T.V and saw a woman on a stretcher! And he looked while the crazy man was talking, trying to sound interested and like he was listening but then he looked a little closer and saw the name in tiny print on the bottom of the news cast. It was his mom!!! His MOM was in the stretcher! She was OUT COLD!!! Then it occurred to him that there was know one to look out for poor Gabbie!!! But Rafe.. And how would he watch Mum and Gab at the same time and that’s when he stood up and yelled at the T.V. ,”I need to get out of here!!! That’s MY MUM!!!” Then at that time the crazy guy jumped up and said, “…
Line- she pulled the scissors from her hand
Commentary- Helen got mad at Annie so she held scissors up to her angrily and mrs Keller had to take them away from her
Phantom- something (like a ghost) that haunts
Fandom- something that mayfield does with 1D
Oh Waspman, don’t be ashamed of love…just accept it…
I know detective what a phantom is. I spelled the word correctly. I really did mean to say Fandom.
Wait! I’m so confused. Bri said Detective turned against her. So is Detective is on my side now? Please respond.
I was mute today
Hey everybody I’m having tacos for dinner. Wait! Where did my minion go. Jim! Jim! Somebody help me find Jim!
“star wars”;creative: Tribute to a stormtrooper
“We always stop to thank the veterans of our world but there are many battles that happen outside Earth. I want to be the first to thank the warriors of these battles. In the Battle of Yavin 4 (from star wars) many stormtroopers died in action. These are people with lives. We treat them live disposable items. Not today. Today I want to recognize the stormtroopers who died in Battle on board the Death Star and any living veterans from that war who are here right now.”
“Mr. WaspMan, I’m a living veteran”
At this point WaspMan pulls out a lightsaber and chops the troopers head off.
“Are there any more living vets? Any? Any at all? All right lets have some cake.”
WaspMan Out
the phantom of the OPERAAAAAAA!!!!!! He’s in Your mind!
Earth below us… Drifting falling, floating weatless, falling, falling…..major Tom, shiny toy guns. (That’s the band)
Mah poem: LOVE. Cold as ice to others, as cold as the midnight sun. But as unseen battles rage within, his heart, for one still burns. For her, his heart is a flame, but unwavering in the wind. She loves him deeply, and him her, and together they are one. An unstoppable pain, his love is to him, but addictive, like a toxin. Apart they are nothing, but together they are everything.

Line: NO I said I wanted a good kisser
Commentary: Princess Sara Elizabeth Didnt want a kind sesitive guy she wanted a good kisser so mayfield was like well when you put it that way… and the prince was gone and away.
Line: you people are crazy!!!
Commenatry: THe prince slept with a corbo action figure under his matresses and they said you have accomplished the initiation the princess loves a kind sensitive man but sara elizabeth disgreed
Ah-Ha! Eureka! Oh my gosh!
Detective your sister just gave away the spelling of your last name. Please thank her for me. That information will be very useful.
he had always believed that countries or at least his country waged war according to an unwritten code of honor.
this is what a lot of people think even today. war is never involved with honor its about who can kill the most and the worst.
when to opponents or to armies or two different ways of life met and clashed all honor is lost.
this is a very true statement because this also goes to show that war is about killing. so Kate has no honor.
no self respecting British officer would stoop to the task.
back in time it used to be all about appearance. if you had nice stuff you were respected. if you didn’t you were treated like Elijah… um uh i mean dirt. so its whats on the inside, whether its wasp guts or liver. you’ll get respect based on whats inside you
#respecttheliver
the Brits put a lot of stock into appearances. so if we look like we know what were, they will believe we know what we’re doing.
there’s only one thing to say #respecttheliver
Im not detective, add about 1 ft in height and then you are close, but not not quite.
I know what you’re thinking. He’s not going to do that stupid prediction day is he. Well, yes i am. It’s back!!!
“star wars”;creative: PREDICTION DAY XI

i predict that biggs turbulance that he is experiencing causes him to crash

Waspman, this silly “war” you insist on continuing is highly illogical. There is now reason for it. The spelling of my name last is quite simple. You fail to get my first name correct, however.
“That’s stupid.”
“That’s people.” -Jonathan Maberry
everyone person on the planet has their on traits that make the stupid/crazy
“Everyone carries around his own monsters.’-Jonathan Maberry
when someone experiences something awful they’ll sometimes have thoughts of bad thing,after the apocalypse almost everyone became a little crazy
“Suffering is easier to endure when shared.” -Jonathan Maberry
its easier to get through bad things if you have someone close
“Is he nuts?”
“I think the expression used to be ‘touched by God’.”

this book uses many types of humor,one is making fun of everyone’s stupidity
My goodness…We’re bringing logic to the blog…
Throwing Strikes
R.A. Dickey
1 weeks worth!!
I’ve read the first 2 chapters of this book before then turned it in. So now i’m back reading it since baseball season is back in.
Line- If you want to put it in baseball terms, you could say I was born with a strike against me.
Comment- R.A. Dickey’s parents didn’t marry cause they were madly in love he said. They married because hs mom was pregnant with him. They struggled in R.A.’s early childhood years. His father had two jobs and his mom had one job also. He says they didn’t own their apartment, cockroaches did.
Line- My parents learned how to get by, but not how to get along.
Comment- R.A.’s family didn’t have much but they made it good with what they had. R.A. learned how to be independent when his dad left him about his kindergarten years. R.A. wore hand-me downs from his uncle unless he absolutely needed something new, then they would go to K-Mart.
Line- I have fond memories of my first glove, a twelve-dollar K-Mart special, brown but definitely not leather
Comment- For a man who has won a Cy Young Award(awarded to the best pitcher in their league) he started out with a crappy glove. Not because he didn’t care but that’s all they could afford. Which means anything can happen one day to anyone.
