so it was a great week – except for the fact that i read a book that basically told me my childhood was a lie:)
“mint condition” by jameison – wonderful, wonderful read about the baseball card industry – the author is about the same age as i, and like i, collected for years – only to wake up in his 20s and discover all of it is basically worthless – and so he sets out to find out why – and in short, a bazillion cards were run in the days when i collected – so a big, big supply vs. demand issue – of course, i say the book destroyed my childhood belief in the inerrancy of men that lead us – however, upon any great reflection (which always comes to me when i’m listening to music in the car and singing along on a long road trip – in this case – hewitt-trussville), i realize that there are bigger things i thankfully never discovered to be a lie – so believing that baseball cards were an investment, well, i’ll just chalk that loss up to good times with my father
“feel-bad education” by kuhn – fascinating book on all the things educators do wrong – like motivational posters:) oh, and standardized testing – grades – teaching to “one” right answer – lecturing – going on power trips – it was a great book just for a different take on education – most books laude educators – like we’re missionaries in service – so a book that takes us a few pegs down, i’m all for – b/c most days, i think i goofed up more than i did right
“running with the kenyans” by finn – i saved this book all year – bought it at Christmas last year – yes, i can wait that long – story of a brit who takes wife and kid on a journey to iten, kenya – in his quest to give his middle-aged 30-year-old body:) one last go-round – and what a round he had – good reminder that we self-impose many of our own limits
happy red ribbon week – happy parade week – i’ll be out all friday morning primping and getting my hair done – right???

Hope
No hope left, after the war.
Parents gone, living on streets,
Sruggaling to survive.
No hope left, i’m ruined forever.
Now, I know the truth.
I’m going to die.
No hope left, my love gone.
You crushed my heart forever.
I will never love again, because of you.
Oh i almost forgot, WAFFLE HIGH RULES!!!!!!!!!! first block thing. 😀
I was halloween night. I was out with my firends Talia, Jack, and Kat we were not even close to finishing and it was already 12:00 past all of are curfuss so we decided we were already in trouble so we might as well stay out longer. Talia and Jack were hipped up on candy they had ate both of their own bags and half of mine and Kat’s. We started getting bored we lived in a large town and even bigger neihbor hoods. The houses were spaced out a long way out from were we lived. We did not worry about that much but we should have. We started talking about rumors at school just simple things who likes who and the bad hair day that sometimes we can’t control and that suddon urge to scream I love waffles that brands you for the rest of the year a complete werdio. Then of course Jack had to get into the towns myths. THe town has a ledgend or a myth that the towns scarecrow will come out at 1:00 and seeck revenge on any on that he sees first.

I don’t have much time so I’ll you a little bit:
Nickie made it to Grover’s house and he introduced her to his grandmother, and Nickie told her that her grandfather lived here. After that she went into Grover’s shed and he showed her all the stuff he was doing for the $375 he needs to go on a reptile expedition. Then Grover showed Nickie the snake. She saw Grover feed a baby mouse to the snake, and she told him that it was terrible. Once she saw it, she said she felt sick, and Grover said he was glad she didn’t faint.
That’s all I have time for today, Bye!

Well I made UAB Honor Band! So this is exciting news. I made it last year also but I am planning on doing better this year than last.
I just got back from marching band practice and I have to go to the pep rally tonight.
And then the parade tomorrow.
Call me bitter, but I hate homecoming so much. I think it’s pointless but whatever. My opinion doesn’t matter. I’m just a grumpy teenager.
Okay, So I didn’t read hardly at all yesterday:( I wish I had more time! I keep having to work on other things.
So In The Lost Hero Annabeth has started looking for Percy. She finds him but he has gotten his memory wiped so he doesn’t remember anyone, or who he is, or things that he has done in the past.
Leo, Piper, And Jason crashed their metal dragon thing and it’s in a bunch of pieces somewhere.
They found out that Hera has been taken captive by someone and Hera keeps giving Jason, Piper, and Leo weird dreams.
They have to save her but they don’t know where she is or how to get to her.
All the Gods have been locked up on Olympus so nobody has been allowed to talk to the Gods but they know that a war is about to start.
Alright.
That is all.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I know you just loved my username! But anyway I’m going to blog under creative today!
The bird that was a Waffle
Once upon a time there was a bird tha turned into a waffle. he was just fluttering well not fluttering ( thats for butterflys) whats the word ………… OHHHHH ya he flew into a window. You know the classy trick where the bird thinks the window is open and it just flys right into it well yah thats what happened!! And when he did that he fell on a waffle and it stuck his wing together. So he wasn’t able to everfly again. Until one day after he had died he turned into that waffle!!!!! Then he was mad at that person that had closed the window on him and now he going to get a bunch of other dead waffles and he’s going to call themselves ” THE ASSASIANS” So that how my story ends!!
Ohh and I have a joke: Why did the man through butter out the window?
Because he wanted th see a “butter” fly!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO FUNNY!! BYE!
I have soccer practice today so I have to cut it short and kinda skip the intro ( I can hear you crying in the corner now ) omg did you know I have a giant bruse on my leg cause I was at a soccer gam and some girl kicked me in the leg ( how nice! ) I’m probably boring you to death ( but isn’t that my job ) so I’ll stop. Another stupid but deep ( ish ) poem:
~Frozen~
You wish you could freeze time,
Stop the grass from growing.
Stop the rain in place,
Make nothing move but you.
You could tell everyone everything you’ve wanted to tell them but never had the guts,
Everything you were to scared to admit.
And they can’t put you down.
Their frozen,
Frozen with the world.

Waz up my peeps? Tonight i read ten minutes of the third 39 clues book by Grodan Korman, the sword thief. Tonight, i will be giving an alternate ending to the chapter i just read. At the end, Amy and Dan were in the library surfing the web with their Uncle Alistar. After Dan searches critical information in the race for the 39 Clues, the cursor moves automatically. Somebody hacked onto the computer, reading everything that Dan searched. If Dan had decided to goof of and play games, the hacker couldn’t have seen the vital information. Therefore, the hacker might’ve switched to Amy’s computer, containing something much less valuable.
Well, that was about five or ten minutes.
P.S. That is 20 min. for the week Mr. Mayfield.
P.P.S. Go Waffle High Breakfast Bulldogs!
I’m starting the Percy Jackson series again. Fred can have his “Awesome” Harry Potter but I think Percy can take him in a fight.
Alternate ending
Instead of going back to Camp Half-Blood, Percy had an urge to go to England. There he finds a little scrawny boy (who justs happens to be Harry)
and challenges him to a fight. Harry excepts but Percy wants to do it by the coast. So Harry walks down to the coast with Percy and Percy kills him on “accident”. Then Harry’s unknown 2nd cousin (twice removed) Bob starts crying and weeping because because his 2nd cousin (twice removed) had died.
Wazzup. Dr. Mafed, i thiught I might try to attempt soapstone or however you call it.

Speaker-Unknow narrorator
Occasion-Author was really interested in time while thinking of this book
Audience-Juvinials that find interesest in magic
Purpose-To show a boys life that gets turned around because of a will
Subject-chillds life when magic gets involved
Tone-Adventurious becwaue the child must go through battle to survive
Okay so i really tried and i encourage all of yall to dovthe same -hing jjust to give it a shot onceca week on a different book
Alright everybody. Get ready for “Caleb’s 10:30 Blogs!!” I’m reading (was for 20 min because I was borrowing it from Will. By the way, Mr.Mayfiels, that hurt when you hit me in the hallway. :'(. I was temporarily reading the third book in the 39 Clues series and i read about how Irina and the Kabras tricked them. I loved the timing of how they mentioned Irina and the Kabras meeting in a earlier book, and you forget about it, the they trick them and you say “Oh Yeah!!”. Rick Riordan(I think i spelled that right.) Is such a good author.
I also finished the second book so I might as well type about that. Rick Riordan is such a good author he has a perfect balance of action, detail, and feeling. He says in the 2nd to last chapter in the book that amy finally figures out the reason why they are so far ahead. Her and dan balance each other out.
The plot for the 39 Clues was so well put together. If you think about if you wrote the book, you forget the key parts that Rick Riordan uses that makes it great. My favorite part is how he came up with the branches. I loved how they each had a talent. Those books are very well written.
I’m going to end the night of with a poem
Too many children shoot for the stars.
Too many children say”I’m gonna do it!”
Not one realizes what it takes.
Too many children have everything given too them.
Too many children show off just because they have raw talent.
No one realizes what it takes.
Everybody else gets it on a silver platter.
Others work toward the stars.
They work above everybody else.
Even the ones wuth raw talent.
Literal bottom line is: Work Ethic beats Talent, but Work Ethic+talent = Unstoppable
Goodnight everybody have a good Friday tomorrow.:)

Whoa, I never have felt so alive! Thought Saphira. “Saphira! How many barrels of mead did you have?” asked Eragon. Only four… Ok, and a half. “Saphira!” Ohf, I feel sleepy… she thought as she fell into unconsciousness swiftly. “And here we go.” said Eragon as fell out with pain in his back flaring like Zar’roc in the battle against the Urgals in Tronjheim.

“Fire, Fire!” Oh great here come the phoenixs and the dragons. What do these have in common? Nothing, you say? Well if you said no, you’re wrong! because they both can burst into flames (or flying)! So grab one of those dragons or phoenix’s and lets ride! Oh well it is now proven that you can’t ride a phoenix or a dragon without getting burned… so game over.

Eldest (author’s purpose)
I think that this book was used to introduce Roran from a new perspective as Roran Stronghammer, leader of the Carvahall forces going to join the Varden. Or it could be written to introduce Thorn (you can find him on cover) Murtagh’s dragon. Either way it’s written to introduce Nusuada’s new postion to leader of the Varden early on in the story. Or maybe it’s to see where Eragon’s loyalties lie with the Dwarfs, with the Elves, with Humans, or with Alagaesia… only time will tell.

Ugh, why did I have to be a horse? Really I could stand it above ground but in a tunnel!? that’s gone too far. I’m a war horse bred for war.
“Snowfire, don’t stop now we’re half way there.” alright Eragon.
And now for a look back to da good ol days.
WAZZUP ALL DA FEW PEEPS OUT THERE WHO ACTUALLY CARE WHAT I TYPE!!!
anyway, I LOST MY BOOK!!! But i did read enough to finish blogging this week. So mike and kyle were still havent found anything in the fort that they are digging in. They went to an old mans house to talk to him. The old guy gave them some useful info that they use to get a better idea on the location of the gold. They discovered that some far of relative of the old guy was related to was alive and saw the ship carrying the gold get sunk. They used this to discover the location of the gold ( possibly ). They went back to the fort to look around some more but a state trooper was guarding it this time.
PEACE OUT AND WORD UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Hay. This is a follow up to my 10-30-12 blog.
“Well since we can’t ride dragons how about train horses to breath fire and fly.”
“Aye.” I said. “Yet that would ruin the fun in trying to ride a dragon from where even an Eagle couldn’t see, If you trained a horse to run fast enough to fly than it wouldn’t be truly flying.”
“What other alternative do you suggest?”
“Me thinks that in order for us to ride them we have to fight them.”
“Sound like a plan.”

“Saphira!”
“Yes Gladr.”
“You must focus on your studies instead of on hunting!”
“But-”
“No buts. Saphira, you are the last young, free dragon in Alagaesia, Whereas I’m the last old, free dragon in Alagaesia, So you must focus on your studies instead of on meat.”
“But-”
“Again, no buts.”
“Then what will I eat, grass?”
“And leaves, if you can reach them.”

(I’ve been wanting to do this journal for a long time but the time wasn’t right)
Murtagh we should leave them alone. They are free, whereas we are trapped and bound to Galbatorix.
“Thorn you know we can’t do that, Galbatorix would have my hide, your scales, and Eragon.”
Still.
“Yes, if it to me I wouldn’t do this… but it isn’t up to me anymore. I fought with the Varden Thorn! Now what will they say? Oh here comes the trader! Nay!”
This kind of thinking will destroy you Murtagh!
“Just like Galbatorix.”
And Morzan?
“And Morzon.”

A red dragon appears, a rider on it’s back. The dark rider is clad in shining steel, the dragon unarmored but heavily armed with his fire and strength. The rider takes off his helm…
“Who is that? I’ve never seen him before.”
“How could you not know who that is Eragon? I thought every human knew who Morzan’s second son was.”
“Truly Orik.”
“Just as truly as Helzog created my kind from stone, young Eragon.”
