Blog 14: FINALS!

Who knew finals would come this quick? Certainly, I didn't.

So yes, it's the last week of school before we go on winter break. Having said that, it's also the week of my first high school finals! I'm actually kind of excited to see how I do on these...

But anyway, so my Droid 2 is still awesome...not like it would've changed in five days. But, I did get a bright orange case for it. If a phone could look dashing, mine is drop-dead gorgeous dashing.

In other news, I just realized that we can leave school early tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday without getting in trouble. That's a first.

DDDDDRRRRROOOOOIIIIIDDDDD

Oh, looks like I have a message. I have to go answer it before I forget it's there.

Blog 13: Droid 2

Great news: I finally got a new phone!

Yeah, it's been a long time (two and a half years to be exact). My parents first got me a phone in the summer of 2008, which seems like eons ago. However, they only let me use it when they approved, such as if I was going to a friend's house or something like that. I finally got to use my "was-cool-in-2008-but-not-anymore-because-it's-2010-and-it's-also-a-flip-phone-which-isn't-cool-anymore" device starting on Christmas of last year.

12 months later, here I am writing one of my blogs from my Droid 2. Yep, it's true. Every word.

This is very efficient. I don't have to get on the computer anymore to write a blog; I can just start typing away and *WALA!* My blog for the week is done.

I highly recommend the Droid 2. Get it quick 'cuz it won't be cool anymore when the iPhone 5 or Droid 3 comes out. =)

And alas, the world goes round.

Blog 12: Thanksgiving Break

Well, another weekend gone. It seems like these things fly by so fast, you can't even enjoy them anymore.

I don't know what to do about this Thanksgiving weekend drama.

Blog 11: 2010 NASCAR Season is Over

Hello.

I just wanted to let you know that as of today, the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season is over. Yeah, I know most of you don't care, but I do.

Jimmie Johnson, driver of the #48 Lowes Chevrolet, won his fifth consecutive championship at the Homestead-Miami Speedway today. He is one of four drivers to win at least four titles, and the only person to ever win more than three in a row.

Jimmie's a great driver. Personally, my guy is Jeff Gordon. He's one of the people who have one more than four championships. But Jeff and Jimmie are teammates and Gordon had bad-luck today so I don't mind rooting for Johnson. Congratulations Team 48!

With that said, I'm sorry to announce that NASCAR season is over. (Sad face) I have no idea what I'm going to do until February when it starts again. I'll probably go through withdrawals or something crazy like that.

R.I.P. 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

Can't wait for February 2011. It's gonna be great!

Blog 10: Dark at 5?!?!

Hiya, and thanks for tuning in to another new edition of "Ze Blogger Boy." Today's topic: Darkness.

To be more specific, I'm talking about Daylight-Savings time. A few weeks ago, we had to change our clocks back one hour due to......

Well, I'm not exactly sure. All I know is that Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea and it wasn't applied until World War I.

Source: National Treasure (2004 film)

Anyway, so we set our clocks back one hour. Because of that, it gets dark at five o'clock. It's nice though, 'cause in the morning, it's light out instead of pitch-black.

And another thing - People always say we gain an hour, when we are technically setting our clocks back. 

Now that's what I call irony!

Blog 9: Election Day

Thanks to Election Day, Rock Canyon doesn't have school today.

It's kinda weird: Going to school for one day, and then getting the next day off, and then having to go back to school for three more days is messed up.

But still, I'll take any days off from school that I can get.

The only problem is that my friend who goes to Heritage doesn't have today off. So we can't hang out or anything. I guess Littleton Public Schools doesn't use their high schools as a place to poll like Douglas County.

In other news, I just watched "The Bounty Hunter." It was a good movie with a few laughs here and there, but nothing to fret about missing. I expected it to be better.

Well, that's all for right now. I guess we'll have to wait and see how the mid-term elections turn out. Until next time -

Blog 8: Tennis Banquet

Hiya.

In a few minutes, I'm off to the tennis banquet for the Rock Canyon Boys Tennis team. It should be fun, so I'll tell you all about it next time I blog.

Also last week, I went to go see "RED", a movie about former CIA agents who band together after they are mysteriously attacked by an unknown network. Other than the killing, there's hardly any foul language, so I highly recommend it. "The Social Network" is still better, but still...it's not like you can have every single movie rated the same.

Anyway, that's all for this week.
