Rosario + Vampire

Hey guys sorry I haven't blogged in a while, with school starting, due to the amount of homework and stress I'll have, I'll probably blog once every other day.

Rosario + Vampire

Tsukune and Moka

Rosario + Vampire is one of my favorite anime shows that I watched on Netflix.. And when I say watched I mean I finished the series in two sittings. Anyway, its about this human named Tsukune who goes to a high school for monsters. He finds out quickly if a human was to enter the barrier between the human world and the monster world, they'd die instantly. Tsukune wonders if this is just a big joke and beileves that for awhile, until he meets Moka.

Moka is a beautiful vampire who become his best friend, also the only one who knows he's human. Moka is such a powerful power that she has to wear a rosario to keep it from coming out and turning her into her real self, one of the most powerful mosters in the monster world. She's kind and gentle with the rosario on, but completely opposite when it is off. She has feelings for Tsukune but whenever they get close to kissing she sucks his blood.

Tsukune meets four other girls that fall head over heels for him, but they don't see that he loves Moka. These six friends battle monsters and go on adventures within the high school.

Archery

Okay, so ever since I was little I've wanted a bow and arrow set. My dad said that if I could write him a persuasive letter, he'd think about letting me have one, but I have to post it on my blog.

Dad:

               I am very thankful that you have given me this opportunity to try to persuade you into letting me have a bow and arrow. As you know, I've wanted a bow and arrow for awhile. I feel like if I got a bow and arrow I'd have a hobby that would require me to go outside. By having this hobby, it would give me an opportunity to invest my time in something that doesn't require technology.

                I understand your concerns about having a stray arrow fly out into the clearing behind our house and hurting someone. I've researched some archery safety rules. Also, the cost and
type of bow and arrows I want.

                Safety is very important, especially because we live in a populated neighborhood. First off, when holding the bow do not dry fire, which is drawing the string back and releasing it without an arrow. This is very important because it could break the string, causing damage to the bow and the string could come back and hurt the shooter. Secondly, when the arrow is loaded by not drawn back, do not aim at anyone. This is dangerous to anyone around the shooter, the arrow could slide out and hit someone. Even though the arrow is not very sharp, it still has a metal tip which could hurt if it slid out onto someone. The issue of having the clearing behind our house and people regularly walking in it would be addressed by not aiming the arrow anywhere but the target. The target would be put in front of the shed.

                 If my brother and I were to be shooting together, we'd take even more safety precautions. Only one of us would shoot at a time. While the other person is shooting the other would be standing a safe distance behind them with their equipment not loaded. This would give the other person a good area to feel comfortable surrounding so they could shoot more accurately, concentrate more, and there'd be no chance of someone getting injured from a misfire. When the person shooting is out of arrows, the other would wait with their equipment still unloaded until the shooter had all of the arrows and then moves behind them so the next person could shoot. All technology would be put away during practice, except for taking pictures. Texting and talking would not occur in the duration of practice.
                    The equipment would be bought by me, so you wouldn't have to buy anything. My equipment would be a Barnett Youth Buck Commander Banshee Compound Bow, additional arrows, and a quiver. This would have a total cost of about $60-$75 dollars.

               
                   

Teenage Post of the Day

This perfectly described me when I was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I was so upset when Dobby died, till this day I still hate Bellatrix Lastrange. Dobby was the cutest, sweetest house elf any wizard or witch could ask for. So after getting over Dobby's death, Nymphadora Tonks became my new favorite, aside from the main three, until she died by the hand of the Snatchers. Why is it that every time I get a new favorite character, the author has to kill them off?  And with J.K. Rowling's beautiful ways of writing, you feel as if you're right next to the character, bonding with them. Then all of the sudden, she kills them off. Thanks J.K. Rowling for writing my childhood and then destroying it with a couple sentences.

Teenager Post of the Day

New thing now on ttm, we will be doing random Teenager Posts of the Day. I will post the picture and give my thoughts on it. It can be a random number having nothing to do with what I'm feeling or it can actually have some meaning. To start things off here's the first one.

Homework is one of the ideas that should not have been invented and put into practice. Right now I have a 50+ page report for History class, a packet and a 200 page book to read and annotate with a test coming up soon, and a math packet review of last years math to do. This is stressing me out. To make things worse, MY SCHOOL HASN'T EVEN STARTED YET! Homework should disappear or we should at least get less of it. Coloring back then wasn't fun and I thought they were mocking my intelligence when that became homework, now the homework is hard and takes forever and will only get worse.

If you want to comment a # we'll find that teenage post and put it on here =)

Perspective: Being a Teenager

Perspective

Being a teenager when I was little meant to me I'd be skinny, smart, popular, and go to a lot of school activities. I'll be honest with you, I viewed my future differently than I do now. It's quiet funny to go down memory lane and rethink these strange thoughts.

Perspective #1- Age 7

When I was 7 I thought being a teenager was like staying out late, going to parties, living life easy, no hardwork. I thought being a teenager was like getting to kick back, relax and do whatever I wanted. I thought if I wanted to be popular I'd have to be skinny and smart for people to like me.  I honestly wanted to be accepted. I know now its a very different reality.

Perspective #2- Age 11

My perception of teenagers had changed a lot. I wanted to have the kind of teenage lives that I read about in books. Like I wanted the opposite of what I wanted when I was younger. I wanted to not be part of the crowd. I has it set in my mind that I would find the group of life-long friends I had wanted ( which i did) and oppose those who were the "popular people". Everyone has those people at their school that aren't nice and accepting, the people who don't just fit the mold for what you have to be, they are the mold for that. I had been reading way to many teenage romance novels.

Now 

I think I was pretty stupid as a kid. Pre-judging what I thought I was going to be. I've learned that I don't wanna be popular. I'm very different than them. I thought I wanted to have a marvelous social life, but to be honest sometimes I'd rather be on the internet in my room, lights off, radio on than spending time outside with nature. Actually right now I hate nature. And bright light. If I wanted bright light I'd turn up my screen brightness. I do have an awesome group of friends and we have countless adventures. Oh, and drama, I thought I'd steer clear of that. How stupid I was. Being a teen is hard but it teaches us who our true friends are and that we should stand out not fit in.

Sherlock

Sherlock

So I've just started this new series called tv series Sherlock, based off of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's book series. Its the modern adventures of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson as they go around London solving murder mysteries. Sherlock and Watson are a brilliant team.

Character Profile

Sherlock Holmes 

Sherlock Holmes, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, is the London's finest consulting detective. He's a complete psychopath in the public's eye but is very important to the police. Sherlock has a mysterious gift to notice the little everyday things that common eye passes over. For example, we see graffiti, Sherlock sees a Chinese number that is related to black markets and murders. Another interesting quality of Sherlock is his uncanny ability to talk at one-hundred m.p.h. without losing his train of thought.

John Watson

John Watson, played by Martin Freeman, is a doctor who moved in with the great Sherlock Holmes to be his crime solving partner. John puts up with Sherlock's attitude and ramblings. John's blog starts to make a name for Sherlock. In fact, that is where most of their clients come from. Sherlock isn't exactly fond of all the publicity but John keeps up with the his blog, posting all the cracked cases on the blog. 

HPFF- Intro

Harry
Potter
Fan
Fiction

This is a spin off of the Harry Potter series. Its set in the seventh year. Its basically a story about what would've happened of Harry, Ron, and Hermione stayed in Hogwarts that year and if the Second War didn't happened. Voldemort has disappeared.

(I haven't figured out exactly what the title of this will turn out to be)

The last sunset of the summer has set, Hermione Granger sat atop her luggage chest.She sat contemplating over how she's going miss the summer. The staying up late studying, working on three extra credit papers, playing with Crookshanks the cat, she'd miss it all. But most, she'd miss the house and her parents and the easy muggle life. All that will be put on hold while she would spend time at her favorite place in the world, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

How she loved Hogwarts. Hermione never thought she would make any friends, being a muggle-born and all. But that all changed the day she met her two best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Together, they'd made the best memories at Hogwarts. She didn't want that to end.

"No! I don't want to have to leave them and then leave Hogwarts!" She said a loud as a tear slid down her pale cheek. "I'll be nothing. I'll be nothing. I'll know nobody in the real world."

Just moments later Hedwig, Harry's owl flew in through the window with a letter for her.

Hermione,

As you know I'm staying with him until the summer break ends. I wish you lived closer to him. Anyways we got invited to Dean's End of Summer Party tonight in three hours. I hope you have all your belongings packed so you can come. If you can, send Hedwig back with a letter and we'll pick you up in Mr.Weasleys's new flying car at half past six. Also, if you could give Hedwig a snack I'd greatly appreciate it.

                                                               Harry and Ron

Hermione sat the letter down and thought out loud, "Should I go? I still have to study.Well skipping one study won't hurt."  She sat down at her desk and started to write Harry back as Hedwig impatiently peaked her as if to say, "Hurry up!"

Hedwig took the letter and perched herself on the window sill as Hermione stroked her and said, "You're so beautiful Hedwig. Now go give that to Harry."

Hermoine rushed over to two big, heavy white doors and pulled them open. Inside there were clothes, coats, jumpers, shoes, skirts, and many other items. "Now, what should I wear?" She said with a grin as she started to go down the sides of her  closet.

The New Doctor

Doctor Who

For those of you who don't know what Doctor Who is its basically about a time-travelling madman with a box that flys through time and space to save worlds and other alien races.

The New Doctor

BBC has just released the name of the actor that will be taking Matt Smith's place on Doctor Who. They just released the name about twenty minutes ago in the live studio audience premier. Being a loyal Whovian, I've been waiting for awhile for the announcement of the new doctor for awhile and the arrival of the new season, even though I'm two seasons behind. But I've been counting down the days till the new season also. Only 112 more days!

Peter Capaldi 

Peter Capaldi has been announced as the 12th Doctor. From stalking his Wikipedia, he looks like he will be a great Doctor. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland on April 14, 1958. So the actor is 55 so I wonder if the 12th Doctor is going to appear younger or older than Matt Smith. He'll look great for being over 1000 years old no matter what he looks like.

Minecraft Explained Part 2

Minecraft Dictionary and References

It occurred to me a little later after I published Minecraft Explained Part 1 (Link)  yesterday that after I gave some information about Minecraft that some readers might not know what some of the things I mentioned were. So I've dedicated part two to being sort of a Minecraft Dictionary and Reference post.

Biomes

The main biomes of Minecraft are:

•  Forest
•  Tundra
•  Desert
•  Plains
•  Swampland
•  Jungle
•  Ice plain

There's also two additional biomes, but its not possible to spawn in them but they're called the Nether, which is basically Minecraft Hell, and The End, another dimension.

Mobs

Mobs creatures of the game, they come in seven different types, but the most dangerous types are Neutral, Hostile, and Bosses. But not all Mobs are found, it depends which version you play.

Minecraft Explained Part 1

Minecraft 

The virtual world of Minecraft is by far one of my favorite games for PC and Xbox 360. I've had the game for a little more than a year and a half, it's been a very fun and interesting experience.  This fun and challenging game has two game modes, Creative and Survival. Players are challenged to construct a house and other basic tools to beat the game.

Gameplay

Survival Mode

The story starts out with Steve (the player) spawning in a one of many biomes of the virtual world.Steve spawns with absolutely nothing. to craft items he must cut down trees to get wood. Once he has wood he can create different types of tools to mine and weapons to fight off Mobs. After Steve has his tools he mines downwards to find diamonds to make a diamond pickaxe. Once the diamond pickaxe is crafted, Steve mines Obsidian to make a portal to the Nether, Minecraft Hell. The Nether contains another portal which you must place special items called an Ender Pearl. Once this portal is created, Steve is transferred to The End, another dimension. In this dimension, you battle a boss to get special item not found anywhere else in the game. After that Steve wins the game an you can continue to mine, build houses and fight mobs.

Mobs can be turned off or on depending on the difficulty.

Creative Mode

Creative Mode is the game mode where you have an infinite amount of every block in your inventory and you create any architectural structure you can imagine. There can still be Mobs. There are infinite possibilities.
Check out more cool creations here.

PC vs Xbox 360

Minecraft for Xbox 360 is the version I'm best at. This version of the game seems easier to play to me because I play it more often than PC.  Even though the controls might be easier, they might become more complicated as the new updates come out. Xbox 360 Minecraft is far behind the PC version because it was created first and released to the public in May of 2009 while the Xbox 360 version was released in May of 2012. 

Books that I wanted to write

All my life I've had about a million book ideas. Having an author as a father, I'm often encouraged to write these ideas, but I don't. To me writing has never been a hobby that I complete. It's more like scribbling down random thoughts, plot twists, character outlines and cover designs. I'm actually in the thought process of writing a book. I'm actually going to try to complete this one and hopefully write a fanfic or two.

So here is a brief description of a couple books ideas that have bit the dust :
(Don't laugh I already know some of them sound stupid That's why they didn't get completed)

• Phi Xi Theta- Aliens attack the earth with a bizarre weapon: the chronobomb. Entire cities are instantly transported into anywhere in the past. A chronobomb strikes a college dormitory, transporting it back to the Jurassic period. This fraternity struggles to survive against dinosaurs, disease, and a murderous sorority.

• The Parallel- A girl exchanges places with her opposite in the parallel universe, she finds a horrible truth of the parallel world and attempts to cross back over to the real world but her opposite knows what is going to happen to the parallel world and refuses to leave this new world she's found. The only way to save her is to trick the opposite back into the parallel.

• Saving Hollywood: An unlikely story of a true hero- A 10 y/o girl walks from her small town in Kentucky to Hollywood to meet her idol, who then she starts using the girl's story to gain more fame and fortune until the press starts loving her more than the celebrity. A boy back in her hometown finds out that the celebrity plans to murder her and make her death look like an accident. Since this boy has had a crush on her for the past three years he embarks on a journey to save her and picks up a couple unlikely friends on the way.
