“yes, i’m here for the Billy concert, starring detective’s little sister…”

67 Comments

just going to be an amazing concert this sunday, good people – i hear little Bri’s going to have a jazz band/hand tribute to the work of loki…

“common thread” and “25 years: Peachtree road race” – both books about the atlanta race that i’ll be running july 4 – it’s fun to me to read about places i’ll go – i can remember things when i run – they look more familiar – if nothing else, it just makes me appreciate that people have gone before me – and hopefully, there will be 59,000 people behind me that day:)

“wild pitches” – espn writer – his best of columns – enjoyable – made me realize how much baseball i missed a few years ago – i enjoyed the statistical oddities – like the brewers guy that “stole” first – when the rangers beat the o’s 30-3

“4:09:43” – book written right after boston 2013 – stories of the runners – so getting me fired up about running next year – just a very sad book in the sense that no one can ever look back on that day and just remember running a great race – there was so much ruined

happy last week

  2. Am I first?? Am I actually first for once?? All hail the Snyder!!

    victoria, you were close – much closer than most of my 7th grade ever is about, well, anything…

  9. “Star Wars”;”Biggs!”…”You’ve picked one up”
    Commentary: Alright, Biggs is arrogant and believes that he won’t be targeted by TIE fighters but when they come out of course he is first to be attacked. Then Luke risks his life for Biggs when,if he died, the plan would be ruined. Even after that Luke keeps making bad moves. He isn’t as smart in the books as he is in the movies. And that is pretty much the whole 20 minutes I read was luke doing backflips and going into holes he wasn’t supposed to. You know trying to get himself killed.

    WaspMan Out

  10. May
    So Cal knew that there was way that he could leave the place so he had to come up with another plan, and fast. So he found the room with a bunch of computers in it so then he knew! He could send a note to Bogus and hope that he would receive it and come up with a plan to get him out of the crazy place. So he ran in the room and sat in the chairs and typed to bogus then he deleted the message from the computer like he had never sent it and right when he did a lady walked in and said, “What are you doing in her Cal?!” “I ran in her to hide when victor started acting crazy!” Said Cal relived at the fact she didn’t noticed he had sent something 🙂

  11. May
    Cal guessed that they had caught Victor but he wasn’t sure. Because they had gone back to normal. So then one day they normal lady that come to his door came and said, “You have VISITORS…” “I DO?!” Cal said happily at the fact that his friend had come to get him. But then he remembered that it might not be them it could be Slingo threatening him to hand over the papers. He wasn’t sure he was happy and scared. He was confused. So Cal walked with the lady down to an odd door that he had never seen, much less walked down the same hall. But then he was relived to see that when she opened the door he was winter and bogus sitting there waiting on him..

  12. Hey, Elijah, there are people dressed uo at Storm Troopers in 2nd and Charles today.

  13. whoo!

    just got back from an exciting race at the talladega 500!

    never been to a race before, so this was my first time going. we went camping in the south parks of the talladega superspeedway, right outside of turn two, and our seats were right next to the finish line! it’s really cool to hear and see the race cars going two-hundred plus miles and hour. and i actually got to see Ryan Newman in person! it was funny hearing little kids ask him questions at a Q & A session… one little kid asked him if Ronald McDonald was going to be driving a car. no one knew how to answer that, so he had to move on.

    🙂

    you’d think four hours of doing nothing but watching cars drive around a track would be boring… but it’s the complete opposite!

  14. Line

    Em are you with me

    Commentary

    I chose this line because Emily got bitten by a scorpion and she had to get help the mom named Brooke had to drive her all the way to the solar tower because there was an antidote for scorpions in the solar place and so whenever she got there she got john to go and lay her down while Brett got the antidote. After a while she finally woke up but she tried to stand up and fell.

    Line

    I will try my best

    Commentary

    I chose this line because Brooke had just been asking a question by John if they were going to get out of there. Recently the president had exiled all of the states they are in including New Mexico so if they can figure a way out and if they could get past the guards and if they even got to North Carolina where her aunt lived then they would still be found and then drop back to the state that they were in.

    Creative

    He turned the key in his lock into his war he saw Madelyn. It was this she reach person he couldn’t even describe it after they killed him they as in kate, even though she supposed to just kill bunnies she still likes to kill Madelyn every single day. Every time she walks and it seems like an earthquake is a happening oh wait it is ha ha! Anyway back to the story turn the lock, he saw Madeline, Kate came to kill oh yeah that’s where we left off. Right before Kate was coming to killer Carrie

  17. Well, i had a nice poem to be licked on sunday, but it wouldn’t let me post it. I guess this week can be used as a flashback, with thursday/friday’s being the poem that started it all…

  18. le blue,
    i agree – dega is fun – i’ve run a 1/2 marathon there three times – so i love watching the race on tv now – to see the cars run super fast laps that take me much longer to get around:)

    very glad you enjoyed it

  19. Monday- It is not who is right, but what is right, that is of importance.

    Thomas Huxley

    It doesn’t matter who the right answer is coming from but it matter that the answer is right. People have a tendency to go with the person they like decisions and this can sometimes cloud the judgement of people because of who it’s coming from. So it doesn’t matter if it’s your best friend or your enemy of what there saying is right don’t disregard it because of who it’s coming from.

    Tuesday- When we are no longer able to change a situation – we are challenged to change ourselves. – Viktor E. Frankl

    When we can’t change something that is happening we become chameleons and change ourselves to adjust to the situation or situations at hand. To some change can be difficult but when pushed one will adapt to there surrounding to solve a problem or prevent one from happening.

    Wednesday- Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.

    Leo Tolstoy

    Every one when they start to get to there peak in maturity think they want to change the world. No not thinks that we could possibly be the problem that we molded the world to what it is today. All of the crime , disasters, etc. we causes this world it doesn’t need to be fixed we do. If people think I’m this way then the world we be changed back to its innocent form not soon but for sure it will change but only if we do as well. We must change and stop polluting the world , we spread like a disease but luckily we can be the cure as well.

    Thursday- The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
    Walt Disney

    Everyone is unique so the more your like your self the less your like anyone else and then you are unique. No one is like you everyone has their own personality, looks, humor, etc. Everyone is different in their own way even if there image mirrors someone.

  21. The book with an irrelivent title

    One day Stan was very very tired. He also woke I’m the middle of the night not breathing because of his allergies. He begged his mom to let him stay home so he could rest and his mom gave in. Of course she had to. Stan was in no condition to absorbe knowledge into his brain. But then he realized that his mean teacher mister mayfield would lock him away if he didn’t do his journals. He grabed his phone and in his bed started writing a story. It went like this.

    Stan was very very happy. He got a great nights rest and died. The end.

    So Stan was not the most creative person in the world but hoped that he would at least get an e. His dad would be home around 3 to scold him for missing school but Stan knew he really was sort for him. Waking up and not breathing is very annoying to a kid with bad allergies. Stan was in bed the whole time he wrote his jurnals if you were wondering. His bed had an auburn sheet that was coverd in blood from his frequent allergie related nose bleeds. It was spring after all. Stan was very tired from his allergies problem and has so far missed two days of school.

    This story does not at all relate to a kid named Dave who also has bad allergi problems.

  22. May
    Cal was so happy that Bogus was there and he Bogus looked relived as well. Cal did notice something odd about Bogus, he did not seem so agitated like most of the time when Winter was around. So Cal hoped that he just didn’t catch Bogus on one of his ‘GOOD’ days where he always looked happy and really he wanted to kill someone. So walked over there kind of fast and sat down with the lady hovering over him then said, “Now if anything starts to look suspicious then I will put an end to the visiting. I will be sitting over there doing some paper-work and I will keep a good eye on you!” Then she went over to a chair and sat down.
    🙂 🙂

  26. um, emilie, this is totally awkward – we weren’t just talking about you at all…

    (whew, good thing emilie doesn’t know about the scroll button on the computer…)

  29. Bella is the new sarah – in fact, i think bella did such a great job b/c i could see evil emilie trying to destroy bella’s chances by messing up so much

  32. Victoria is a disgrace to all of the blog and should be removed. Who hasn’t seen Star Wars? NO ONE! How has Victoria not seen the best movie ever?

  34. “Star Wars”;Line:”It’s a hit! We’ve done it!”
    Commentary:Thus words signal the beginning of the end. Some of the best advice in battle is that you never let your guard down. Even when you think the enemy is dead, never let it down. The troops were sure they had just destroyed the TIE fighters so they celebrated. The celebration was followed by the fact that they hadn’t destroyed the ships and they were being killed off. So now Luke is pretty much by himself in destroying the empire. Good Luck! 😀

    Out

  36. There is a Texas guy named Chip. He is strange, and ERAGON FOREVER!!!!!

  37. Hello my fellow Katetopians

    Line- jesus was born at homecoming

    Commentary- Princess Sara Elizabeth Is wanting to know why homecoming is even celebrated or whatever and mayfield is like well Sara if you have to know homecoming is the grand day baby Jesus was born and that Sara is why we celebrated it!

  39. Hey, Elijah? Watch. Your. Back. Victoria is one of my best friends. So what if she hasn’t seen Star Wars? I haven’t seen all of them.

  40. The book with an unrelated title

    Stan was having a pretty good day. Advisory was short so he didn’t have to do a word search. Stan had a meeting at the beginning of the day and this is not what happened in saves day. It’s being proven now. A bunny killer shared a story in evil mister mayfields class. It was about blood and gore and appearintly Kate topia is finally reconstructed. It’ll be fun to hop… I mean um… Skip down the streets. Wasp man had a weird day to. A guy named elijah took over his body while he was in the middle of a war. Also this guy named kaleb has a problem with saying like. As he was talking to this kid named Dave dave was counting and kaleb said like 14 times. In the interjection way though

  42. I’ve seen a few star wars movies. They get a little boring after the first three. One was dedicated to just racing space mobile site for goodness sake!

    Quote :
    “By the time the sun was up, not a soldier was still sleeping.” p.280
    Opinion:
    I would still be sleeping. Especially if it was a Saturday.
    Quote:
    “They called themselves soldiers, but almost none had looked across at the enemy and summoned the courage to charge headlong into the possibility of death.” p.280
    Opinion:
    Then why did they call themselves soldiers? The could have called themselves rebels or even just people.

    Tuesday:
    Quote:
    “When Darrow finished, the villagers cheered until their voices were hoarse.” p.249
    Opinion:
    They can go a long time without taking a breath. I’d pass out from oxygen deprivation first.
    Quote:
    “Beltar,eyes narrowed and lips pressed together, waited as the king’s words poured forth.” p.295
    Opinion:
    As Coach Smith would say,”he had verbal diarrhea”.

  46. May
    Cal Looked at bogus and said, “Please tell you came here with some info on my mom.. OH! And that you have a plan to get me out of this crazy place!” “YES!! Your mom is OK. And also a yes we can try to get you out. OH! AND I HAVE YOUR BACKPACK! , ” said Bogus, as he slid it to Cal on the floor. “NEVER! EVER forget this!” Bogus said sternly. “OH MY GOSH I thought that Slingo was behind all of this, he put me in this place and was telling everyone here that he needed the papers while he had them all along! But now we have them! GREAT!! Thanks Bogus.” said Cal. “UH.. HELLO!” Winter said, annoyed because Cal had been ignoring her. (he was not trying to ignore her!)
    That’s ALL FOR THE YEAR!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

  47. The book with an irrelivent title

    Stan was running for his life. After all this is his last jurnal. Wham jurnals are no longer bring posted mr mayfield gets very angry. He turns into a massive Gary beast because secretly he’s kept under control by readin comments on the blog. Mr mayfield goes on rampages all the time. You can see him running down the street. It’s awful, all you can do is hope there’s no kids in the road. Some times he even stampedes aroun elvish ill and on the track there. I’m sorry this is my last post but I don’t like home work

  48. Wednesday:
    SOAPSTone:
    Speaker: the speaker in the section I read today is named Hazel.
    Occasion: Hazel kills herself trying to stop a rising giant.
    Audience: the audience would be people who like books that have little sections of drama scattered throughout them.
    Purpose: the author’s purpose was to throw in one of the little drama sections that were previously spoken of.
    Setting: the setting is in an underwater cave somewhere in Alaska.
    Tone: the tone was fairly dramatic and sudden.

  49. Thursday:
    Today I read The Son Of Neptune. It’s an interesting book that I would recommend after reading the first book if anybody hasn’t read it. Anyway, I find it weird that when Hazel dies she comes back to life but hey, it’s fiction. She died because she killed herself trying to stop the raising of a giant. she and her mother both died and were transported to the under world were they were both judged. Hazel was to be sent to a place were heroes and just all around nice people go, but her mother was sent to a place much like hell. Hazel pleaded to try and make a deal, she and her mother go to a place between the two.

  50. see dr mafeld this proves i don’t like bri. I could never like someone who doesn’t like star wars
