So, sorry that the camera is all weird. I was messing with the settings, and I didn't feel like putting them back. But anyway, due to EXTREMELY popular demand (two votes for "yes") here it is:















Well, remember yesterday when I said that I have a guy on my team named Adam Arrowsmith? Good. Because... um... his last name is still Arrowsmith.

No, but really, remember when I said that I wasn't going to have many "average" days? Well, I totally failed, because yesterday was a pretty darn average day. Which is really weird, because it was a Monday. Anyway, it was a:
7.8
I'm pretty sure that's the highest I've ever rated a Monday.

I went running with Pablo yesterday. I ran for a half mile, then I biked another mile and a quarter. But Pablo says that for every mile you bike, it's the same as running half a mile, so I TECHNICALLY ran 1 1/4 miles. Well, I'm not exactly sure how far I biked, but it was equal to 3/4 of a mile running.

Even though I withstood temptation and waiting until after dinner to ask to play video games, Pablo had the Xbox until I went to bed. So I'm kind of mad that he's standing right behind me right now. So go away. PLEASE? Wait, are you almost ready to play catch? Oh. Okay then. (He's reading over my shoulder). Good. He left.

Um... Oh! I remember. For school, I was supposed to make a comic strip. So here it is.

So am I the only one that's insanely glad that the snow is almost gone? I mean, I like winter.... for the first, like, 3 snows, but after that, it's just like, BAM! TOTALLY READY FOR SPRING!
But yeah, I'm excited. I'm also excited for Daylight Savings Time to start.

Click on this paragraph to see what a map in Halo looks like. It's actually really cool. It's like one of those virtual tours, except it's of a Halo map. So, please click on it. Then you can come right back. (By the way, it's going to take a moment to load).

Well, I'll be going now.





















Why are you still reading this?































I told you that I was done talking!









































STOP SCROLLING DOWN!!!!!






































SERIOUSLY!!!! YOU'RE STARTING TO MAKE ME MAD!!!





































So, do you even have a life?








































If so, why are you still scrolling down?























































I'm not kidding! Stop it right now!!
























































WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!


















































Do you have no respect for what I have to say?



















































You're such a loser.











































Just hit ALT+F4








































I SAID TO HIT ALT + F4!!!!






































THAT'S IT. YOU'RE A LOSER, AND I PITY YOU.













































Okay, I'm seriously done now.
Bye.
































Loser...

Zane is... um........ interesting.

Well, I forgot to blog on Sunday, but all I would have said was that I went to Maggie Steep's 80th birthday party. It would have been about a 8.8. Bye the way, the lowest I've ever rated a day was like, 5.7, (the day before Laura set the taco shells on fire) and that's actually not that low. So, there will be a much larger difference between good days and bad days. There will probably only be a few days that are "average" (around a 7.5 to an 8).

Anyway, Sunday was pretty good. There was cake after church instead of cookies (leftovers from Maggie Steep's par - tay). I had 5 pieces. And I had Chinese food afterward. I couldn't even eat a whole plate, though, because of all the cake. Then I played baseball for a while, then I played Halo and Madden (Peyton Hillis ran for 370, shattering the old record for most rushing yards in a game, which happened to be owned by Hillis). Then at play practice I found out that I have to wear a stupid angel costume. So, pretty much I won't have actual pants. I hate angel costumes. But, I totally scared Hayley to death. She was laying on the chairs, and the lights were out. I crawled underneath the chairs in total silence and poked her, and she was soooo scared. It didn't work as well with Laura, though. Nothing really fazes her when she's talking to her hot Zane.

I'm an Aerosmith fan now. Well, I like about 4 of their songs. Did you know that there's a kid on my team named Adam Arrowsmith? It would be so cool if it was spelled Aerosmith.

Here's a video of Zane dancing and singing. Mostly dancing. Too bad I didn't have the webcam ready in time to catch him and my dad singing "Bohemian Rahpsody."


And here's another one. (He starts singing in falsetto for no reason towards the end, so it gets better).




And come back to this blog again in several hours, because I might put my lip - syncing to Dream On here. Unless I don't. I doubt that I will. But yeah, check back anyway. Actually, here. Vote on my poll. If it's "yes" unanimously, I will put it up. And I won't vote. You have until Tuesday to vote, and if it is unanimous, I'll put it on the blog then.

Well, Pablo's making me go running, so I'll be going now.

Dude, Russell NEEDS to win Survivor

Well, Laura still hates Todrick Hall... But, he didn't get voted out, so it's quite alright.

Yesterday my baseball practice actually got canceled, but Pablo went out and threw me ground balls and played catch for a while. I also went on a run with Rex around the old neighborhood (it was funny, we barely got down the street before Rex started to slow down and pant). And I got pizza for dinner. And, I played High School Musical Dance! Senior Year, but I think we need a new mat.

As I mentioned in the title, Russell NEEDS to win Survivor. If you're a Russell hater, feel free to voice your opinion by commenting. Yeah, no one will comment.

Here's a funny comic strip:











If it's too blurry to read, just click on the picture. Or, try this combination of buttons (Just make sure that this is the only tab you have open, or it won't work): Alt + F4

Yeah, don't really try it. It closes the page.

Thursday's rating:
8.4

So, in addition to Breezin' by George Benson, check out On Broadway by George Benson and Turn Your Love Around by George Benson.

So, I have baseball practice today, but I'm kind of sore. I probably should've realized I had practice today before doing those pushups and what not. Oh well.

Uh... I finished school for the week today.

Um... yesterday I didn't do so well in Halo. No, wait, I did. I don't really remember. I guess I did average. In Madden, I handed the Colts their second loss. Hillis had 200 rushing yards.

You know, I didn't really do much yesterday. I'm wearing one black sock and one white sock right now. So, since there's really nothing else to talk about, here's a funny quote.

The bus for people that need extra practice will be leaving at 2 O'clock. The empty bus will be leaving at 5.

- Some coach for some sports team. I don't really know.

Except it was really just a 7.9

Well, I'm gonna go play baseball now.

Todrick Hall will win American Idol.

Hola! Take a look at the picture I edited of Peyton Hillis to your lower left. Yeah, it's awesome.

So, what happened yesterday? I did a bunch of extra school, and I worked out a little.

Then I played Halo. I didn't get a Killtrocity again, but I got several triple kills and I think an overkill. I also played Madden. I lost my first game of the season (in franchise mode). Then I got to eat Taco Bell for dinner. After that, I had baseball practice. I think that I actually did better with a band - aid on my finger than I did without one. When I got home, I was going to watch American Idol, and I did, but I missed the first 1/4 of it because I was finishing up watching this awesome Broncos video. Then I got to watch Todrick Hall (The guy who's going to win American Idol) sing.



I thought he was good, but the judges seemed to disagree. Oh well. He'll still win.

And Isaac made cookies that I got to eat, so overall it wasn't a bad day.

Tuesday's rating:
7.8

The snow's melting!! YES!!

Well, even though Sunday was the bee's knee's, yesterday was pretty much bad. I hate Mondays. Of course, if you read yesterday's blog, you would have known that. So if you didn't read it, you might not have noticed that I brought back the "yesterday's rating" thing.

Anyway, yesterday was actually not horrible (like most Mondays are) but it was far from good. Or average. Maybe not that far from average, actually. But average isn't good. I woke up early that day, and I finished school before lunch I think. Then I managed to work out for quite a while (I'm waiting for the snow to melt rest of the way, and I might go running. If someone else that doesn't run, like Laura will go with me. I feel stupid when I run alone). Then I got to go outside and play with Lillian for two hours. Then when I came in, I worked out more. Then when my dad got home, I played baseball outside with him and Isaac for a while. (A groundball came up on me and drilled me on the finger, causing it to bleed, and I had to put on a bandage, which is why I can barely type right now. Then, after eating some DELICIOUS fried zucchini and broccoli and tater tot casserole, I made my long - awaited (two days) return to video games! I played Halo 3 for a while. Guess what I got. A Killtrocity!

Killtrocity noun Getting six kills in a row - all within 4 seconds of each other - without dying. I got a Killtrocity in Halo 3 the other day! Kill tro sih tee

It was in Team Swat - No shields, no sensors. Just you, your BR, and whole lot of headshots - and the next game I got a Triple Kill, which is exactly what it sounds like: 3 kills in a row - all within 4 seconds of each other - without dying.

Then, in Madden, Peyton Hillis continued his 5 game streak of at least 125 yards and 1 TD per game. Then I played Halo 3 a bit more, then I had to get off.

So, it was actually not a horrible day. Just a bad one.

Monday's rating:
6.3

(And the only reason it wasn't a 5.something was because of the Killtrocity and getting to play some baseball).

I hate Mondays. Correction: I hate most weekdays.

I hate it when Pablo reads over my shoulder. Which is what he's doing now. I think I'll steal one of his chips. Oh. He left. Well, yesterday was the bee's knees. The beeth kneeth, as Andrew called it. But yeah, it was the bee's knees. Where did that expression come from, anyway? Bee's knees? Hm...

Anyway, I'm listening to (Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams. His voice sounds pretty cool. I like the rasp in his voice. It's kind of like John Cooper (of Skillet). Except John Cooper's rasp is different. And since we're talking about singing, I might as well let you know that my prediction for American Idol was wrong. See, I predicted Ashley Rodriguez to win, but she actually didn't even make it to the top 12. Or even the top 24. Oh well.

So do you like that picture on the left? I think it's pretty cool. So is the one underneath it. But I like the one of Peyton Hillis more. I mean, how can you NOT like this guy? He even brought back the Mile High Salute! But, Josh McDaniels refused to play him. I actually saw an article about Peyton Hillis saying that he was frustrated about his lack of playing time.

Actually, it's funny. The year before Shanahan got fired, 7 running backs got hurt and were put on the DL. And SEVEN RUNNING BACKS TOTAL ON BRONCOS TEAM AVERAGED OVER 4.0 YARDS PER CARRY! This year, I believe one running back had over 4.0 yards per carry. That was Peyton Hillis, the only running back left from the Shanahan era.

Oh well. Woah. Shaq may miss the rest of the season. Actually, I don't care at all. I don't even like basketball. Or hockey. However, I have to admit that the USA - Canada game last night was good.

By the way, I'm only about $800 dollars short to buy a drumset, so I'll be accepting donations.
