First: HSM Sing It. Now: HSM Dance! Senior Year.

I just played a game of High School Musical Dance! Senior Year. I got an A+ on the song Work This Out. Booyah!!

I'll post videos of it later. Hopefully. Maybe not. Time to eat pizza (No thanks to YOU, Jon! lol I'm not really THAT mad. Just moderately mad).

Hey, Hey! I got an idea! Let's vote on my poll!!

Kalie is pretty much living here for the week. She's had like 8 cheese sandwiches too. Way to make yourself at home, Kalie!

Anyway...

I stumbled upon a great song called "Fire it Up" by Thousand Foot Krutch. I'm listening to it now. They released the playlist for NHL 10 (Or 2k10, I don't really care cuz' I'm not buying it) and I noticed a song by Thousand Foot Krutch. I clicked on it and listened to part of it. It was really good! So yeah...

The Tigers have been slumping. Their offense just can't get on a roll!

And while I'm griping about sports, I'm going to again, mention that Tom Brady isn't great!! He's good, yeah, but not great! The only good things about him are that he's accurate and has a DECENT arm. Just like Drew Brees, only Drew Brees doesn't have the receiving corps that make him look great like Tom Bad - errr... BRADY does. He also doesn't have the defense that Tom has! If Tom Brady had the defense that Brees has, he would SUCK!!! His defense keeps him in games, unlike Drew Brees. Brees constantly has to win in shootouts, and still has success.

And you know what else bugs me? When people complain all the time! They complain about the least little thing! If something bugs them, they never let go of it! They just go on and on, long after anyone is interested! It's just complain, complain, complain! People who gripe all the time really drive me nuts! You'd think they'd change the subject after a while, but they never do! They just keep griping until you start to wonder, "What's wrong with this idiot?" but they go on complaining and repeating what they've already said! You know what? I bet they're not very self - aware. Actually, that's ANOTHER thing that gets on my nerves!

Lol, yeah I know.

Anyway, now I'm listening to Monster by Skillet. I listened to Take Me As I Am by FM Static and The Motions by Matthew West and Fire It Up by Thousand Foot Krutch again. Now I'm listening to The Motions by Matthew West.
They're all good songs. If you get the chance, listen to all of them.

Vote

So I watched the movie "Knowing" last night.



Looks pretty good, right? It was - until the last 1/2 hour of it. The ending could not have been worse. The first hour and a half were great though. If it wasn't for the ending it would be my favorite movie.

Anyway, I can't give away what happens in case you're planning on watching it. Even though the ending sucks, I would still recommend it.

Dang, this blog post is more like a movie review than anything else.

Remember Jono, send the pizza!!

The Lake Sharks rise again! This time with our new member: Agent JoshPityer*

The Bapnic was fun (See Ron Benson's Facebook status). It rained like crazy, though. However, the rain was quite fun. Anyway, I'm still waiting for my pizza to get here. Jono said he would mail or email me a piece. I'm waiting for Marcus too. He said he'd mail me a piece. Speaking of Marcus, I went to his house today. I went swimming, then we talked and ate and threw apples from their tree, then ate some food, then talked... It was fun.




Okay, you HAVE to watch this one. All of it.







*Be sure to run the "Josh" and the "Pityer" into one word. Don't say "Josh Pityer," say "JoshPityer, as if it's one word.

In a nuclear apocalypse, Laredo, Texas would be devastated.

Wow, our cat is awesome. First, in case you didn't know, Lucky has been knocking on the door to get in. We would be sitting at the table eating, and we'd hear a knocking noise. We'd open the door, and in would come Lucky. Just a few minutes ago, I was walking past the garage door, and I noticed it was slightly open. Lucky and Bongo were right in front of the door. Bongo had just come in the door. To make a long story short: Our cat let our other cat inside the house.

Okay, so you know the website "HowManyOfMe.com", right? If you don't, check out my last blog post. Anyway, they have another web site, "ApocaLuck.com." It tells you if your city would survive a nuclear apocalypse. Let's check the results.

Dang... my mom beat me to it. Oh well. I'm one of a kind (At least in the U.S.A.).

HowManyOfMe.com

There are or fewer people with the name "Gabe Negranza" in the U.S.A. How many have your name?

How many people have YOUR name?

Anyway, I looked up Jono Bacon and there was 1, but I looked up JON Bacon and there was 19. I looked up "Nicolae Carpathia" and it said there was 1 or less. There were 4 Judd Thompsons, 18 people named Vicki Byrne, 22 Lionel Washingtons and 44 people named Ryan Daley. There were also 3 people named Leon Fortunato. Okay, enough of Left Behind: Kids. Time for American Idol!!

58 people named "Kris Allen"
134 people named "Adam Lambert"
2 people named "Danny Gokey"
1 person named "Allison Iraheta"
1 person named "Anoop Desai"
1 person named "Lil Rounds"
8 people named "Scott MacIntyre"

And there is only one Placido Polanco in the U.S. (What a suprise).

And lastly:

(Bet you didn't know THIS, Julia) There are 36 people named Pablo Ruiz in the U.S.

Oh, yeah. There is only one of everybody in our family. I find it hard to believe of the 166,650 people named Gabriel, I'm the only one with the last name "Negranza". Actually I'm kidding. I wasn't suprised at all.

The Chronicles of Gabe Waiting For His Family To Be Ready To Leave For Church: Episode One

Wow! That title sure is a mouthful. Pablo's party was pretty fun. Unfortunately, the Tigers lost two games straight. So I'm just sitting here waiting... Be sure to check out my video if you haven't seen it yet. Just scroll down... Oh, I just remembered. Beach Day is tomorrow! Oh. Uh-Oh. I'm going to go do some crunches now. Bye!

New Video.

TA DA!




It kinda lost the "NINJA" theme, but I think the music is FANTASTIC!!

New video coming soon.

I'm working on a new video like the last one, but this one will have music. (The music will probably me a little muffled though).

I'm sick...

Hello. I either have allergies or I'm sick. Either way, I don't feel good. BUT - I can almost do a flip on the trampoline. Football sign ups are tomorrow. Practice begins August 25th. Well, I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be on right now, but whatever. Here's a video I just made. (It only took like, 15 minutes).




Okay... I'm waiting for my video to process, so I'll make a new poll. Wait, it's not working... Oh! My video is ready. Okay, I fixed the poll. After you watch the video, vote.

New saying. Obvioulsy made up by Pablo.

PRACTICE MAKES PABLO!

(Actually, he said "Practice makes me!" but whatever).

Tom Brady = Mediocre

Tom Brady shouldn't even be on the list "Top Ten Quarterbacks of all time", much less #3. Here's why.

The good about Tom Bad - errr, Brady:
1. He's pretty accurate
2. He's pretty aware

The things that prove that he's overrated:
1. His arm isn't as strong as people say
2. His coach cheats
3. It's easy for him to complete passes - the system his coach uses guarantees that at least one receiver will be open on every play
4. His running game is good, so the opposing defense has to bring extra blitzers, freeing up some more receivers
5. He's not the comeback king everyone says he is (Remember SB XLII?) and all the SB's he HAS won were by the defense or his kicker
6. His O-line is amazing, and gives him more time in the pocket than other QB's
7. His defense is good, so when he makes mistakes, his defense makes sure the other team doesn't capitalize on it
8. He is probably the most immobile QB of all time
9. He isn't amazingly aware (Again, remember SB XLII?)
10. His receivers are amazing
11. The system he plays in uses the shotgun formation a lot more than other teams, and passing from the shotgun is easier than passing from under center

Let's see...
2 good things, and uh... let me count... Oh! Oh my! Good Heavens!
11 things that prove he's overrated! Gasp!

Yeah, Peyton Manning is the best.

I'm baaaack... I know everyone is SOOOO HAPPY that I've returned.

I just got back a couple hours ago and I'm tired. We caught a big bigmouth bass. It was big. I'll upload some videos soon, but I'm kinda too tired (or lazy) to do it right now. Rose Hills was pretty fun. I caught a ton of fish, but no huge ones. We played Mafia with the family that owns the Resort. It was fun. I got really sick though, one day. See, these people were using the boat that me, Pablo and Julia usually go in, so we went in a different boat. It wasn't very stable. It would rock back and forth with a soft movement, and while we fish, we move around a LOT. Needless to say, I was very dizzy that night. I got some cool sunglasses too. I have a ton of bug bites on my feet and legs even though I put on a ton of bug spray.

Anyway, hopefully I'm about to go play MLB 2K9, so here's a sweet video my uncle made. It's a time lapse movie.

See you on Friday.

Well, this will be my last blog until Friday because I'm going to Rose Hills!!

Today was interestingly oddly moderately sadly suckish day. Yet somehow not bad!

The Bottled Water Blitz was - in a word - interesting. It was interesting when Jon, Ian, Keith and I were "handing out" our 7th bottle of water when we noticed that no one else from Grace was around. It was interesting when we walking all around the middle - grounds and STILL didn't see anyone. It was interesting when we finally found Trina and found out that everyone else was already in downtown Bay City. It was interesting when I found out that my family didn't even go with everyone else. It was interesting when we finally handed out all of the water and I found out that my family had already set up at the fireworks placed. It was interesting when the Schnabels decided to go to a candy store before swapping kids (Me and Kalie) and we tried chocolate with chili powder or something like that and other spicy spices on it. It was odd that though the fireworks were good they left me moderately sad (I know why and you don't!!! HAHA!!) It was suckish that I didn't get to play MLB 2k9 today.

I'll try to blog tommorrow, but if I can't my next blog will be on Saturday probably because we're going to Rose Hills on Monday.

I HATE HICCUPS AND IAN CUMMINGS IS AWESOME

I've had the hiccups all day. Pretty much literally. I got the hiccups in early afternoon, had them for a long time, then they finally went away then only a little bit later I got them again, then they went away when I went outside then as soon as I sat down I got them again. It really stinks.

We're going to Rose Hills on Monday. It's gonna be fun.

I just took THE best shower ever. It's weird. It was the most... I can't think of a word for it... the best shower ever, but I don't know why. I could've (And would've) stayed in there for at least an hour longer but Julia said she was waiting to get in.

Well, it's time for me to go be obsessed about Madden.

EDIT:
NOOO!!!! WHY IS THE WORLD SO CRUEL!?!?!??!

EA Sports President Peter Moore announced today that Madden NFL 10 Lead Developer Ian Cummings would miss the rest of the current development cycle after being diagnosed with an advanced case of carpal tunnel syndrome.

"It was a tough call, but we decided we couldn't jeopardize the rest of his career just for the benefit of these final few weeks of development," Moore said. "Of course Ian, being the trooper that he is, wanted to keep working, but his potential is just too great to take that risk."

It is believed Cummings developed the condition while typing non-stop to answer the estimated 2,400 questions asked of him every day in the OS Madden forums. Security video from inside the EA Sports office appears to show Cummings wincing in pain as he types out a response to yet another question about facemasks.

"I just felt it was important to answer all of the questions the community has, even if it is the tenth time I've discussed the color of the trim on the Dolphins' alternate jerseys," Cummings said.

The injury forced EA Sports to dip into their depleted minor league system, calling up Dennis Waverly, who last worked on NASCAR Thunder 2003, to replace Cummings.

"Yeah, football, I've seen that on TV a couple times," Waverly said. "That Vinny Testaverde is one heck of a player."

Cummings is scheduled to have corrective surgery performed next week by Dr. Lewis Yocum, and is tentatively scheduled to return just in time to get flamed for not rating Knowshon Moreno high enough by some guy with 3 posts.
