7th chapter of Red Banner!

Well, I'm definitely not going to complete my challenge this weekend, unless I can make 3 chapters tomorrow (I'm not going to do that).

But at least I did something today!...

The next Cross Country Meet!



Today after school I had just ran a much harder race than last time. Last time, It was only against 3 other schools. This time, there was a 4th school, and they were known for being fast, emphasis on were.

So my school and I ran against the 4 schools, and right at the beginning of the race, a big pile up happened 50 yards in. Every one was falling down, I actually had to push some kids down to get back up!

While in the race, I saw the other schools passing me. I began to speed up, and I barely made it through a tight spot between two walls. Only one person's able to fit in that gap, so I had to get there quickly.

I finally finished the 1.5 mile race, and I got 84th place. I got mad, not knowing there was a 5th school at the time. I thought I did a whole lot worse than last time, until I asked other people what place they got. They all got about 5-15 places below the last race. That's when someone told me there was another school racing, so then I relaxed a little.


It turns out, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placers went to my school! I'm pretty sure we've won, again.

Happy President's Day!

Yes, it is President's Day. The day the people came together and said, "You know, we have a lot of presidents, and some people are telling us we got to celebrate them some how..." Then someone else stands up and suggests, "Maybe we can celebrate their birthdays!" The people shake their heads and answer, "No, there's too many of them. We can't let those kids skip too much school!" The kids all frown at this statement. Then another, less wise person of the group stands and suggests, "Maybe we can have a random day of the year where we just celebrate all of them!" The people think about it for a second, then respond saying, "Why, yes! Brilliant! Since a lot of presidents have their Birthday in February, lets make it in February!" Another person stands and replies, "And we could have it on 3rd Monday of February, because... I like the number Mondays!" "Brilliant! We have our new holiday! We didn't even need to make 36 holidays for the 36 presidents*!" Hollers one of the lazy people. Everyone leaves the court.

*back in 1971, when President's day was really celebrated, there was only 36 presidents.

That's what I think of President's Day. I'm not bashing the presidents, I'm bashing the people who made this holiday. If I were to honor the presidents, I'd actually celebrate every single one of their birthdays, or not celebrate at all. Not only this, but kids in all schools would be able to skip school a lot more! It's a win for everyone!

except the parents I guess.

Resting at the finish line.

I was so close to being the victor of my own personal 4 chapters in 2 day challenge, and I have failed.

I wrote one Red Banner chapter really late in the day and said to myself, "well, I'll finish the last Nourikonm chapter at some point. I got nothing to worry about!" and so then it was close to the time I eat my dinner, and I said to myself, "well, I'll do it after dinner!"

Then, I decided to watch some TV, oblivious to the fact that i was supposed to make the next chapter. The time went from 7 PM to 8 PM, then 8:30. It was then I realized after watching the next episode of Game Grumps, "I WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE MY CHAPTER!" So then I sat at my laptop for about 30 minutes with no ideas. Then it became 9 PM. "Dang! It's too late, my mind is too tired to think of stories now!" I said in my mind, and so I did nothing. After thinking of what to do next for about 5 minutes, I made a new post and began to write,

And then I said, "They're going to hate me for spamming the same thing over and over in 1 post..." Yet I didn't care. If I have to suffer, you do to!
wait, what am I suffering from?

Chapter 6 in RB

I've finished 3 of the 4 chapters required to beat my challenge, almost there!

chapter 6 in the Red Banner has been made!

Song of the Week #7!

A cool song I listen to when I play video games.


 

Propane Nightmares by Pendulum! This song has an inside joke in TF2.

Tell me if you like, if not, tell me a different song/song genre for me to pick next week!

New chapter in The Red Banner coming soon, probably in about 1-2 hours. It takes a while for me to make them.

What I believe to be my best work yet!

I just finished chapter 6 in The Nourikonm, and I do believe it is the best chapter I've made in that book yet! Go see for yourselves, it's a major brain-twister!
I made it while listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVemWCm_uzE. It may have helped me.

I'm half-way done with completing the 4 chapters in 1 weekend challenge! I'm very confident I'm going to make it this time!

New chapter in Red Banner!

Chapter 5 is now released! Go read it!

I also bolded the chapters in both books to make it easier to find the chapters. Just a small update.

Happy (late) Valentines Day!

Yes, it (was) Valentines Day. It is the day the ladies get everything they want, and the day the men lose weight... in their wallets. At least, that's how it turned out in my school. I love how everyone celebrates a holiday meant for spending money. Yes, Halloween is also like that, but it's different. Some people say the candy and costumes is what makes Halloween Halloween, but I believe it's something else. Halloween was made so perfectly in the year so Halloween is the first day when temperatures outside start to drop. It's the day we get to run around and feel like a monster. The candy is like a side-dish to a great meal. That brings me to Thanksgiving, how do people remember it? It was such a long time ago, and it was for such a small thing compared to Columbus discovering North America, or Stephen F. Austin protecting the Alamo and becoming a great Texas soldier. Yet we don't celebrate those, we celebrate the Indians having a great feast with some colonists.

ANYWAYS, Happy holidays!

Cross Country meet!



About 2 weeks ago I went to my first Cross Country tryout, where me and some other people ran a mile and a half. A week later the coach tells us that we had to get a mile and a half time of under 11 minutes to be at the Cross Country meet, and somehow I did it! So two days ago I did my first meet, which is where we run about 1 and a half miles against two other schools. It didn't feel like 1.5 miles to me, though. It felt more like two...

Anyways, just today I was told my school won the first meet! There was about 200 runners there including my school, and I got 72nd place out of all the schools! Not too bad for me. I asked one of my friends what place they got, and they said they got 3rd! No wonder my school won.

Song of the Week #5!

A cool song to listen to after a hard day.

Midnight by Subscape! Again, sorry for not being able to make any chapters this weekend. I'll be back on schedule next time.

Tell me if you like, if not, tell me a different song/song genre for me to pick next week!

More excuses...

Last night I was playing some computer games and I decided to look up some tricks to the game. I clicked on the first link, and I successfully downloaded a virus! So I had to spend until 1:00 O'clock in the morning to try and get rid of it, and luckily I did.

The bad news is, I'm way too tired to even try to play a video game. I can't focus on anything, and sadly, that means I can't get in even one chapter this weekend. I don't know how I'm even going to finish my school projects!

I'll try my best at the "Song of the week"...

Big school project

I've gotten two major projects due Monday in my school, so I might only get one or two chapters this weekend. I guarantee the weekly song on Sunday and one chapter, but I'm not sure about two. I also will not be adding anything onto my "Left-out inspiration" page for a while. Next week I'll try my best to get all 4 chapters in!

Oh, by the way it's one month closer to summer!
