Top 10 Things - Reasons Summer is Aweseome

I love summer time. Like, a lot! But why you ask? Well that's a silly question! Don't you?! Well if you don't, lemme give you a list why you should. Buckle up folks.

Top 10 Things

Reasons Summer is Awesome

1. Summer is warm! And being warm is marvelous!
2. The nights have more daylight which means it's warmer for longer!
3. There are more songs about summer than about winter! (Cause who wants to listen to a song about frostbite? Ew.)
4. NO SCHOOL!!!! That should have been the first one, but you know... Yeah I don't know either. But that's one of the best reasons for sure.
5. Tons of free time to spend on whatever you want!
6. Walking to the snowcone shack is only done in the summer time, folks. You wouldn't trudge through 7 feet of snow for a mile or two just to get a snowcone and go back home. (Plus the snowcone shacks are closed in the winter time anyway!)
7. You can totally mess up your internal clock by staying up past midnight and sleeping in past 9:00 every day! (Yeah, laugh all you want about sleeping in past 9:00, but for me that's an accomplishment.)
8. Vacations! Summer time is the vacation season! I mean, yeah there are people that go on vacation during the snowy months, but for that you have to miss school and even though it's nice to get a break you have to catch up on homework and blah blah blah... It's just better in the summer, ok?! Yeah, I can see everyone nodding their heads and agreeing, so that settles it.
9. Ever tried swimming in a frozen river? Yeah me either. And I don't plan to! It's much better to swim in warm water and you can only get that in the summer! (Unless you have artificially heated pools indoors or something... But stop looking for loopholes!)
10. You have enough time to think of ridiculous blog posts! :D And I plan on doing many of those. XD

The World of Sea

Wow! Long day! Time to blog about it. :)

Alright so first I woke up. (Good thing to do if you want to get your day started - I highly recommend it.) Then I had some cereal, because that is my breakfast food of choice (except for french toast, but that wasn't an option this morning). Then I showered and we headed off!
We got to the park at about 8:45. The park officially opens at 9:00, but they were letting people in anyhow, so we followed suit. The first thing we did inside the park was head to the new ride, Manta. It was awesome 'cause we were one of the first ones so there was no line! . . . But there was still problems with the ride, apparently. So after getting right up to the ride and then waiting to be seated, we had to wait for 30 minutes while they ran into technical difficulties and sorted them out by changing out two roller-coaster cars. After our 30 minute wait at the front of the line, we were allowed to ride the ride. And it was pretty sweet! But we were all a little bit bitter that we had to wait...
Next we went to the Atlantis ride! The log flume ride. The semi-wet ride (because the SUPER-wet ride comes later in the story). So I got to sit in front with my brother, and I'm proud to say that I didn't get very wet! (I won't be so proud later on...)
Then off to the dolphin show we went. It was pretty neat! It was kind of like a ballet concert with dolphins and diving acrobatics. They had divers jumping off of these super high platforms and doing about 20-bajillion flips before landing in the water. And not one of them did a belly flop!
Now the wet part comes. Shipwreck Rapids. 11:00 in the morning. It hadn't even gotten super hot yet! And yet I went on it twice! (Stupid, stupid, stupid...) The sad thing was, I wasn't even that wet after the first ride, but there wasn't a lot of people in line, actually there was nobody in the line, and so we went again. (Stupid, stupid, stupid...) That time I got it all. And I mean ALL. Emphasis on the ALL part. I didn't get dry again until 4:00 that afternoon and my feet were prunes!

Then to summarize the rest of the day trip, we had lunch, went to a few more shows and saw some exhibits. My favorite shows today were the Sea Lion show and the Cirque de La Mare. I liked the Sea Lion one because it was really funny and creative, and I loved the Cirque de La Mare show because it was full of AMAZING acrobatics! I mean, seriously! The strength and the balance and the flexibility and the awesomeness was just so overwhelming, I couldn't help but clap. (Plus it was expected, so that made it even better) It was after that show that I finally got dry again, and by that time I was pretty sunburned and feeling worn out.
So we went to one more show at 5:00 - the Shamu show. It was alright, I mean, I think Killer Whales are pretty majestic and smart, but I was just feeling so tired by that time that everything was starting to seem a little "meh." Know that feeling? Yeah. It was a long, awesome day, but at some point you gotta call it quits!
So before leaving I got my souvenir T-shirt. It said "Blue Horizons," which was the dolphin show we went to.

After leaving we decided to eat some food (because that's kind of essential to human survival), and so we stopped at a local place called "Fat Burger." Mmmmmm! I know. I got a Fat Burger, and everybody else got something like that. Everybody else except for my uncle. My uncle, whilst walking in, saw a challenge. The Triple King Challenge. And when my uncle gets a challenge, my uncle takes the challenge. And that's how he ended up with the 1 1/2 lb, triple patty burger.

Amazingly, he finished it! . . . After seeing stars, of course (at the moment he is laying on the couch groaning). But for his outstanding finish he got a certificate and a picture on the restaurant wall! Lucky him.
As for right now, everybody is out back swimming in the house we are staying in for the week, and Caleb is trying to get Chris (the Triple King uncle) to come swim off the calories with him! Even though he only had a hot dog.

Anyway, that was my day! We are planning on watching M.I.B. pretty soon as well, so over and out, folks!

Playlist No Longer Does Embedding

And this is how I feel about it.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!


RAGE.

The Reason Behind It All

The Quest

In forest glad and yonder glen
There sat a rooster and clucking hen
And no one knew how hungry then
They were for one small biscut

Some say they traveled far and wide
Searching every countryside
And all day long they clucked and cried
For one small measly biscut

They looked in every farmer's barn
The signaled aliens with some yarn
But all the aliens had was carn
And maybe a fat cow or two

And oh! The poultry wailed and wept!
For sixty days they never slept!
And in their hearts they always kept
The thought of that lovely biscut

So while their journey carried them far
From Santa's lair to Farmer Joe's car
From ocean depths to an Irish bar
They never found that biscut

And so if you're ever asked by Pete
Why a chicken did cross the street
You now know what carried their feet:
The quest to find a biscut.

Summer Goals 2012

So I am pretty terrible at making goals. I'm just gonna say that right now (or at least carrying them out). But there is something to be said about making them, that's for sure! The way I see it, if you make goals (and more importantly write them down), then you have something to work for. If you write them down, you will remember them easier, and you will actually have something to do and work on instead of laying around the house all day like a bum (which I have been a culprit of many times...).

So for the summer of 2012, I have decided to make some goals. Woot woot! And I have also decided to post them on this blog so that the readers of said blog can check up on me and tell me to get my rear in gear to work on my goals! So here goes:

1. Read my scriptures and pray every night.
2. Go on a walk at least once a week.
3. Work more hours. (More hours = more mula!)
4. Write an EP and put it on iTunes. (I'll inform ya'll if that happens so you can go check it out!) :)
5. Write on my blog at least once every two weeks.
6. Write in my journal at least once every two weeks.
7. Hang out with my friends. (EASY!)
8. Finish The Hobbit.
9. Spend more time with my parents.
10. Become a dragon.

So there you have it! My 10 goals for the summer of 2012! Farewell fellow blog readers, and enjoy your summers! :D

P.S. I will complete goal 10, if any of you were doubters.
