    Blog. What Is Blog?

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 83 
    Ha! I laugh in utter amusement as I look at my last blog entry. Yes it HAS been a while, but with finals that came a little bit after Christmas, and not to mention all those darn algebra II tests I had to study for... I guess i got a little side tracked. None the less I think I'll recap. ( as much as I can)
     
    So anyway, after Christmas I pretty much only did school work. I've been messing with my ipod a lot and getting new apps to play with. I've been playing mostly Fieldrunners which is an amazing tower defense game that was actually recently updated. Finals were fun, got out really early and I had only two classes per day. The only bummer was that I had Bio and AlgII the last day. (Pro: I have as much time as I need to study. Con: I have no fun on the last day.) after finals we were out for four days for semester break, while worrying about the grade I got in algebra was not fun. ( I luckily managed an overall B in the class, I was very happy. ) Over the break I mostly spent time with Sarah, a couple days with Kotahn too. Unfortunately I was super sick over the weekend and now recovering from that. Alas, I am happy that today is a good day because I managed to get away with no homework in algebra today, which is big because usually I don't finish in class, but I did and I am very happy. (thats only occurred once before since I've been in the class) It's been pretty cold weather this week, of course crazy me, always wanting a grande carmel frappuccino from starbucks when its super cold. (Don't ask, I already know I'm crazy.) I have a theory though, that I got sick because my feet got super wet when it rained, and eventually got my feet cold which got me sick. Anyway enough rambling, off to History homework.

    Entry 79 
    Finally it's Thanksgiving break, where I can relax, sleep in, eat, and have fun with all my recent birthday gifts.
     
    Let's recap, shall we?
     
    This past Saturday we went to the Centennial field show in Bakersfield, ( a two hour drive there and back ). It was all worth it, we won a sweepstakes award for being the best band in the parking lot (basically, not playing when not instructed, well prepared and disciplined.) So that was nice, Something esle that was nice was that we dominated our 2A division with a score of 83.20! That about a 14 point increase than our last competition at Oxnard (69.95). Then only to find out Sunday that we made Championships being ranked fourth place out of the top 12 bands they take to Championships, along with beating Royal in the process (they were ranked 6th). It was a good day, I even did good on my solo. ^^
     
    Saturdays Performance
     
    Then Speaking of Sunday, I went out to dinner for an early Birthday, and got 50$ and a new shirt. Then Monday was my Birthday (thanks Kotahn BTW ^^ along with all the others who wished me a happy birthday^^) I got $435, two games,Trumpet shining cloth, Indy 4 poster, and a Darth Vader bobble head. Then Monday I went to school and then went home.
     
    Later I bought the ipod touch 16 gig, and the guy at the MP3 section in best buy said it would be $249.99. Me and my dad were like "Really? I thought it was only for the first gen?" He said no so he brings it up front and has the guy at the register scan it and everything while he goes helps another costumer, then the register guy rings it up and the total says $321.00(this is with tax) and were like, "the guy said there was a deal going on." well the register guy is all confused and brings up the one who gave us the discount, then he realizes we were right about it only being $249.99 for the first gen, and $299.99 for the second gen, but he felt bad for the mistake and said, " well, congrats, looks like you get 50 bucks off a 2nd gen iPod." it was awesome! ^^
     
    Then after I bought that, I finished my AC 16 entry
     
    Check it out!
     

     
    Enjoy, and I hope you Vote for me! ^^

    Thoughts On Art Contest 16

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 78 
    Yay, I had almost lost all hope for the next artwork contest. Well I am so entering, and I think I have some pretty good ideas. Mine went from numerous thought processes...
     
    First I thought of a vehicle ad, then it went to a food ad, cereal, no, to corny. Then from food to something technological, I thought back to LOMN, and I thought maybe a telescope, such as Nuju's, no... but I was getting close, then it hit me! A _ _ _ _ _ and it will be in the style of _ _ _ _ _ _ art. ^^ (Not spoiling it, hehe.) But I will reassure you I think it will be awesome, and that as usual it will hopefully be a style of art that not too many bionicle fans are familiar with.
     
    But I will leave you with one hint ( besides it being art. XD )
     
    My hint:

    » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «P I X A R  
    A very broad spoiler right. ^^

    Ketch-up!

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 74 
    *Cracks Knuckles* Alrighty, time to type something maybe one or two people will actually have the courage to read as I sum up the last two weeks.
     
     
    Sunday October 5th
     
    Funny stuff. I crammed in my homework after having Marching band practice yesterday, which wasn’t much fun but my solo is really improving. Well after I finished most of my homework (except for English) I was watching some TV. When I got a call from Kotahn. He misheard our cool dude English teacher and though the two stories we had to read (Po Poh Vu and Genesis) were in our small “interactive reader” and not in our big book. All in all he brought home the right book, and I had the one he needed, and since only living about not even a mile away he asked if I could come over and he could get the note to take. I figured since I hadn’t done the homework yet (ironically) that I would just come over and we could do them together. So once I met him halfway, between my house and his, we walked back up to his house and started the notes. Well the first story, Genesis, was a complete waste of time, since it sounded almost exactly like the last story, The Epic Of Gilgamesh. So me and Kothan just took notes and cracked some jokes about it here and there. Then we got to the “best” story of them all, Po Puh Vu, sigh what a book. It starts out explaining that first the earth was created as a giant barren wasteland and then God, and some other guy decided that they would create animals, then they tried to create humans. Well in the process of creating us they made Mudmen that completely fell apart and then they made woodpeople. Well neither of these creations were any good or close to humans, because they lacked, flesh, organs, and bodyparts, Remember that. Well in order to destroy them they sent out these Jaguars to basically eat their flesh, eyeballs, and drink their blood, which they supposedly Didn’t have, go figure. Then something about planters and they decided to make humans out of corn and that we would all come from corn seeds, and thus the four perfect humans were created. Jaguar of _____, Jaguar of _______, Not right now ( yes that was the actual name, Not Right Now.) and Jaguar of ______. The other blanks I don’t remember because I don’t have my book with me at the moment. Finally we finished the strange book and I was asked to stay for dinner. Then after I got home I was taking out the garbage and herd this werd sound, “quack” “quack” “honk” “quack” “honk” and for some reason I herd geese like two houses down, at like 10:00 PM, I have no idea and it was the strangest thing ever.
     
    (fast forward Three days.)
     
    Thursday October 9th
     
    So today is thankfully a holiday from school and I get to sleep in. Then I went Ice skating, it was very fun, then I worked on some stuff for my blog.
     
    Friday October 10th
     
    For some lame reason we go to school for three days then have one day off (yesterday) then to come back to school for just one day (today) only to have two more days off (the weekend) LAME. Anyways I had lame school today, then I had Marching practice. We got two new songs today, Gimmie some lovin’ and our our new drill to the third movement (which we aren’t learning until next practice.)
     
    Saturday October 11th
     
    Today was my girlfriend, Sarah, surprise 16th birthday party. She was so clueless and thrown off it was so funny. First at around two she was dropped off at my house and she hung out until four, we pretty much played scrabble and played with my little sister, then her mom needed to pick her up because they were “meeting her grandma for dinner” but she needed to stop for gas first. As they made a stop for gas I raced over there and was ready for the surprise, she walked in the garage door and as greeted with a huge “SURPRISE” by about 20 people. Her face, Priceless. ^^ overall she had a great time and party, and she really enjoyed all her gifts. (I got her treble clef earrings to replace the ones she lost in a parking lot.)
     
     

     
     
     
    Skip Sunday…
     
    Monday October 13th
     
    Today pretty much was terrible except for ONE thing. First there was a fire one city down so Simi Valley due to the winds got the ash and bad smell (and eventually the fires). Ugh, was terrible and I still had marching band practice on top of it, along with a lame orthodontist appointment. The only good thing our of it was that I got a B on my Algebra II test. Very nice.
     
    Tuesday October 14th
     
    Fires, smoky day at school, and flying helicopters…
     
    Wednesday October 15th
     
    It’s my girlfriend’s actual birthday today, and she was surprised with balloons and roses by yours truly. ^^ I think she could have done with out the lame PSAT today though, along with the entire rest of the Sophomore class. >< belch three hours of boredom. I had a freezing classroom, she was the German/Spanish teacher and she was way overly exaggerative. Some girl had her cell phone go off in her backpack (which we all had to put in the back of the room) and the person who called left a message so the phone would beep like every ten minutes not to mention the person calling three times didn’t help, but the teacher wouldn’t let her turn it off because she might “cheat” then have to be disqualified. Ugh! Lame, I knew the girl, she was in my English and Geometry class last year, I highly doubt she would have cheated. Oh well I just sat there hitting the number 5 button on my graphing calculator (since I don’t have any games on it sadly…) just to occupy me. Boring!
     
    That’s all that’s happened over the past week, now I about to do my homework, and then work on my trumpet solo which is sounding sick and amazing, we have a football game to go to, but we have to be there at like 3:45, so I’m just going to stay at school, because one of the middle schools plays in the stands with us so they can see “how fun” marching band is, and hopefully they’ll join next year as a 9th grader. Then on Saturday we have our first competition at Royal, and I will wow the judges with my awesome solo in our second song, yea! Haha. ^^ Can’t wait.

    Robin Go Boom!

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 72 
     

     
    I got this Lego Robin as a joke from my dad from McDonald's.
     
    So as a joke I decided to do a little experiment for laughs.
     
    In my room I propped up little Robin and his giant blaster gun and shot it. I measured the distance of the shot just to see how cheap this thing really was,
     
    About 27 inches. I think maybe two cents more than the figure is even worth. haha.
     
    Then I threw the Robin so see how far he would go, in my backyard. Let's just say I have no more Robin. XD
     
    Tah, Tah!

    The Lego Baseball Bat

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 68 
     
    I love to give updates from Gizmodo when they do or discuss anything LEGO related. Today they discussed a topic along the lines of LEGO baseball bats.
     

    Read More Here... 
    In other news,
     
    Blech, tired, solo went OK, I was satisfied, could have played louder but I was really nervous and my left leg was shaking >< Oh-well I guess there is still one more football game before our first competition. Our football team lost which I find very funny because now they're 0 in 4 and me and my friends are betting on 0 in 5 in two weeks. ^^ Alrighty, I'm eating this really good Ben n' Jerry's Ice Cream that is Buttercream and swirled with crystalized caramel that just sizzles in your mouth, it is amazing.
     
    So I'll hopefully update soon. ^^
     
    Tah,Tah!

    Farming, And?

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 62 
    Wow I didn't think my english teacher could be any more dumb. Well I guess my first clue was when she told the class the first day of school that the "wasn't a good speller." Lovely, I'm in an Honors 10 English class and my own teacher doesn't even know how to spell, or read for that matter, she reads as if she's in the 4th grade. ><
     
    But thats besides the point. I want to talk about what happened yesterday. We had this quiz on the reading we did in the book, and one of the answers to the question was something along the lines of, "One of the main improvements of the Sumerians was a strong increase in agriculture." That was the answer (well not the one I put XD) anyway thats not my point, someone else in the class asked the my teacher, Mrs. Mjoen, "What if we put down Farming as an answer?" Fair enough, I believe the book did state that as well, but my teacher stupidly answered with this, "Well Farming is too broad of an answer, there are many types of farming, farming with plants, and- well it's just too broad of an answer." Me an Kotahn just shook our heads and laughed after class, and it now a new inside joke. ^^
     
    I mean how dumb could you get? What else could farming involve besides plants!? sigh... it's going to be an interesting year; of course I was warned by all of last years sophomores that she was crazy, and a hippy. ><
     
    Oh well, thats pretty much school so far... sigh

    Sophomore Year '08-09

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 58 
    I always anticipate certain events. The first day of school happens to be one of those certain events.
     
    This year I fell asleep right away after making sure everything was prepared for tomorrow morning. (lunch made, backpack set, alarm set, etc.) Just so I could wake up, shower, eat, surf a little BZP ^^ and then be done.
     
    Thankfully thats exactly what happened. Although I did not intend waking up to the sound of my dad's alarm which was 3 minutes before my alarm was to go off so I lost three whole precious minuets of sleep! ( Once you enter High school you'll understand that even just one minute of sleep can do wonders ^^ )
     
    Once I showered and everything my dad and I left to school (7:25 a.m.) About not even a half a mile from my house Kotahn calls me up on my cell and tells me we have our first period together, Win.
     
    I get to school and it's so funny to see all the Freshmen walking around all confused in little packs, they make it look so obvious that they're freshman. ^^ Anyway, so I walk into the gate of our school and ironically I bump into my favorite English teacher Ms. Itow who I had my freshman year. She is the most amazing English teacher EVER, no question. She did everything on a projector, all or work was discussed on powerpoint slides, you have no idea how awesome it is to have a technological savvy teacher until you have, it's awesome. Enough about Freshman year back to the start of Sophomore =P
     
    So I go to my locker and put my things and such in there, then wait for Sarah, my girlfriend, to arrive, she does, and we go to her locker. Then we wander off the the "Pioneer Board" thats in the center of our school with all our first periods listed, I double check mine, and Kotahn was correct we have Mrs. Mjoen for first period. The bell rings and I say farewell to Sarah and I'm off to my first period. I walk up to the door and am greeted by a 6'5 woman with glasses with really long boney fingers, yes already this description is very creepy. To be honest she's not that bad, but everyone will agree she is crazy, trust me.
    I walked in and sat down in alphabetical order. (Luckily me and Kotahn have generally the same last name initial S and V eh, well semi close.) we talked a little but not as much. We got our schedule and later on the bell rang.
     
    1. English Honors 10
    2. Concert Band
    3. Genreral Biology
    4. World History I
    5. Spanish II
    6. Algebra II
     
     
    Second period...
     
    I hate second period it's concert band, and lets just say I didn't get moved up to Wind Ensemble. ( Of course I choose the most competitive instrument >< ) So I'm not discussing it.
     
    Third period...
     
    Second period I, yes I chose General Bio, it was my decision to take it, no not because I'm dumb and got placed there, I just wanted to have at least one super easy class I didn't have to worry about. So when I say general bio, it really is GENERAL Bio. >< oh well easy A for me. nuff' said.
     
    Fourth period...
     
    Forth period is History, my teacher is rally cool and laid back, it was very relaxed today and we just introduced ourselves made some jokes and talked, I think I'll really like this class. ^^
     
    Lunch...
     
    Same as always, Eat with Sarah and others and discuss school stuff amongst many other things.
     
    Fifth period...
     
    Two words, PURE WIN. It's Spanish II Kotahn is in it along with MANY other friends and the teacher is really cool. I can tell this year is going to be fun.
     
    Sixth period...
     
    Algebra II, pretty blah, and what I expected. My teachers voice doesn't go higher than volume 4 I think and the homework today was pretty confusing, I got through it with some help but still Ah! ><
     
    So far all I had was to finish up some of the english summer stuff and some Algebra II, plus get all those papers signed for Homework, other than that it was pretty O-K. I still think it is a little too early to tall but who knows ^^
     
    Sophomore outlook so far: I can handle it. ^^
     
    Thats all for now, off to bed,
     
    Tah, Tah!

    Car Wash!

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 53 
    Wow yesterday was fun, and tiring.
     
    I woke up at 8:00 a.m. no big deal considering i've been waking up at like 6:40 a.m for the past two weeks. ( band camp ) Well after concluding band camp on Friday, which ended in an awesome water balloon fight, we had a car wash. It was fun I got there we placed soap in the 10 buckets we had, and soaked the sponges in them. Then me and some of my friends went down to the intersection corner at the end of the school and waved the sign showing our car wash while the rest of the band waited for the cars to arrive. We got TONS of cars it was pretty awesome. and fun, when done with the sign shift we traded with four other people and went back to the school which was jammed packed with cars to wash, we washed really fast and I think we made a lot of money for our band program. we finished around 3:15, and then I went home.
     
    After than I was SUPER tired and fell asleep like three times during the day.
     
    wow, tiring. O.o
     
    ok, ya today, was pretty boring I got some school stuf and I still need to buy some more notebooks though, and schools three days away ><
     
    Thats all,
     
    Tah, Tah!

    Band, Foward March!

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 50 
    Finally the moment I've been waiting for since it ended last summer, BAND CAMP! Woo!
     
    Yes normally you'd be thinking, Band Camp? Why would you be excited for that? Isn't it just 10 hours of marching around in the blazing hot sun get yelled at by your drum major to do drills and exercises?
     
    My answer to you is, yes. But! I also am no longer a freshman and have more authority, over people ( other freshman ).
    I also get to see all my friends who I haven't gotten to hang out with in forever! I'm excited, it's so exhilarating when you get called to attention from your drum major, and all the inside jokes you come up with in your section. haha! Well I can't wait. It starts at 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. today, and then for the rest of the two weeks it's form 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. the first half is marching in sun, then lunch for a half hour, and the rest is learning music and sectionals. I can't wait!
     
     
    Last year we played Songs of Steve Wonder, this year it Across the Universe.
     
    Last Years First Song- Sir Duke

    And So It Begins...

    By Tahuri,

    Entry 51 
    Band Camp, 10 hours one word, Ouch. ><
     
    Yesterday we were only there for 5 hours so it wasn't that bad, but today, it was HOT!
     
    Blech, marching in hot sun is not fun, especially marching for 5 hours, the other 5 we spend playing.
     
    Sigh, I'm sore all in my ankles, sunburnt on my forehead and nose ( which stings ), and I'm very tired.
     
    Well, thats band camp for ya, and I'm loving it all! ^^ hehe.
     
    We found out what our show is going to be, it's awesome! Not Across the Universe, it's actually a jazz-ish piece that was made for the CSUN marching band and hasn't been played since then, and that was like 10 years ago! So It's going to be awesome! Of course there are so many trumpet solos, mostly improv so I won't be trying for those, and the range is sick, but there is this one military type solo that I will be all over to win.
     
     
    Thats pretty much it, now I'm going to relax a bit and then practice some trumpet then go to bed to do it all over again tomorrow ><
     
    Tah, Tah!
