I have RETURNED!

Hi guys! Sorry I've been gone lately... Hold on... That's how I always start! Anyway, I am officially on Instagram! Check me out at @Oscarcares. Now, to the matter at hand... I went to the Comic Expo in Calgary! Err, a few weeks ago, so I was thinking I would tell you all! I have so many pictures! So for them and other stuff, check out my Instagram. Just wanted to say that. Oh and...

First time for everything

Wow! Hey everybody! How are you doing? First of all, I wanted to say, I THOUGHT THIS WAS SPRING!! I don't know how it is where you are, but at my house, it's still snowing! You know how the ground hog said it was spring in 6 weeks? Well, that was almost 8 weeks ago. I know that it's not in charge of the weather, but still. 

Anyway, on a more important note, it's the first time Earth Hour has a SUPER HERO AMBASADOR!! Can you guess who? It's Spider-Man! He is my all time bug-based super hero. He's total rockets! Anyway, for more on the subject, check out http://www.earthhour.org/superhero for more info. While we're on the subject, I'd like you to focus on the part where it say's "I'm FINished With FINS" I was all "Son of a mynock! This is awesome!" It's a petition to stop shark finning! 

Remember how I said "First time for everything"? Well, it's the first time Earth Hour has a super hero ambasador, the first time I realised how stupid the ground hog is and my first blog from my iPod! Now I have one two! Well, that pretty much covers it, except for...

The Last Day

I started this blog yesterday, but couldn't publish it until today.

Hey everyone! This is the last day I'm going to be 11 so, I was going to celebrate that, but I found something more important to celebrate...

Today, the Canadian soldiers who fought in Afghanistan are coming back. Well, most. About 150 Canadians died in that war, 46 of which were from Alberta. I can't believe all those people died because of another stupid war! This thing lasted around 12 years, so the battle was going on for... as long as I have lived, maybe longer.

One of the saddest things about it, is two of the people IN MY SCHOOL were brutally affected by this. Logan and China Little lost their uncle in this, now their baby sister will never get to meet him, and if she has she probably won't remember him.

I can't imagine losing my uncle. He is one of the most important people in my life. So I guess, we aren't mourning death... We are going to celebrate their lives and we are going to thank them for their sacrifice. To those of you who have lost a loved one in this or any other war, I am sorry about your loss.

But, as I said, we are celebrating life! They did what they could to make this world a better place. To the people who went to the war, I am very proud of all of you and you are making the world a better place. Not just the soldiers, every good person in the world is doing a huge part in making the world a better place, just by doing good things. They don't have to be super HUGE good things, like stopping global warming or anything, just doing the right thing in your community.

On a cheerier note, I'm on the CCMA website! Cool, huh? Anyway, have you read Princess Label Maker to the Rescue by Tom Angleberger? It's an Origami Yoda book, and it's STOOKY! So thanks for your support and remember...

2014

Hello everybody! How are you all doing? This is my first blog of 2014 and I can't be-LIEVE it took me a whole month to do it!!! Anyway, if you are on my twitter page, then you know thatcI have HUGE news! Ok, here goes... a Dim Sum in Edmonton (Cha For Tea Palace) does NOT use real shark fin in their shark fin dumplings!!!!!!! This is a day which will be remembered for years to come! Or, by me at least.

Well, I've got more to tell, so sit back and enjoy the post! First off, I have been told that Marty Chan is giving away one of his Demon Gate books and I thought that ONE of you lucky readers could win it! So, here's how this is gonna work. All you have to do is leave a comment on my blog and your name will be entered into the draw to win the book! Easy as pie, huh?

Next order of business; responsibility. At school, the office found almost 20 iPod touch's! 20! Can you believe it?! So we gotta look after our stuff more, huh? As we all know, I am an Origami Yoda fan, right? So, when I heard Tom Angleberger was writing ANOTHER book, I almost immediately wanted one. But, it doesn't come out 'till March. Well, lot's of good things in life, must be waited for, am I right?

Oop! Mom just told me I have to be done in the next 5 minutes, so I guess ,THAT'S ALL, FOLKS! Oh, and...

Merry Christmas

     Hey, everyone! Can you believe another Christmas has come and gone already? It's INSANE!!! Personally, I think this Christmas was the BEST! (Yet!)

     Anyway, have you heard of Marty Chan's new(ish) book, Demon Gate? I wanted to do a blog about this for a while, actually, but I wanted to read his other books first, but some of them haven't arrived at the library yet. Plus, I wanted to do this blog before 2013 ended. So, Demon Gate is the first in the Ehrich Weisz Chronicles. Actually, I'm kinda sad it took me this long to blog about his book launch, back on November 26.

      Anyway, Marty put on a good magic show while explaining his book. He did this magic trick where he got a girl in the audience to wave her hand over two chalk boards to reveal Ehrich Weisz is also Harry Houdini! I helped him put on hand cuffs and took the keys. He got out like Harry Houdini did. It was really cool!

     But the coolest thing he did (and I apologize for not having a picture) was when he got out of a straight jacket! It took a few tries, since it was a rather tight fit and got stuck only once, for a moment or two, but if Harry could do it, Marty could too. Good Christmas reference, right? Anyhow, when he got out we all applaud, and he read us some of his book. I won't share to much detail, but it is SUPER McBOSSNESS!! He made a high tech bowler hat like in the book, and it looked pretty cool!

     Marty signed my book, too! It read, "To Oscar, a great assistant and an amazing person!"

     Here is a picture with me and Marty. I hope you get a chance to read it too. Before I forget, did everyone have a good holiday? My Christmas wish was for people to stop shark finning because...

AND MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

BIG NEWS!

Hey everyone! Geez, can you BELIEVE how LAZY I've been?! No blog since September 8th!! That's like... Uh... Bear with me I'm counting... Does 2 months and 10 days sound right to you? WOW!! 2 MONTHS and 10 DAYS!!!!! Well, in my defense I've been at school learning... Stuff. Yeah. Also, not much happened in 2 months and 10 days.

Anyway, as you can tell by the title, I've got something important to say. Okay, first, picture yourself as a cow. Your living a happy life. La la la. Then the farmer randomly takes you  to a wooden barn- like place and... BLAM! Your a hamburger.

So, did that make you feel weird? Getting turned into a hamburger made you feel weird, right? Well, if you think you as a metaphorical cow getting turned into a metaphorical hamburger is bad, how do you think a REAL cow feels about getting turned into a REAL hamburger???

That is why I have gathered you all here to day for. I am now a PESCO-VEGETARIAN!!! I know what your thinking... "WHAT THE HECK IS A PESCO-VEGETARIAN?!?!??!!" Well, it's a vegetarian, that is cool with eating fish. So that TOTALLY ties in with me being against animal cruelty and ALL ABOUT sustainable sea food. To learn more go to:

This is just like the moon landing. "It's one small step for an eleven year old kid, one giant leap for eleven year old kid-kind." Well, not EXACTLY like the moon landing, but it's close enough.

Oh! One more thing. This is my lifestyle choice. I'm not letting anyone change that.

Canadian Country Music Fanfest

Hello, everybody! Did anyone go to the Canadian Country Music Fanfest? If you did, hope you had a great time and if you didn't go, I'll tell you all about it!


      So me and Dad went to the place at the Shaw conference center and we walked around. We entered a contest, looked at the prize, and then the concert started. We started out with everyone else. Then dad gave me his phone and he let me go to the media place. (I was borrowing dad's media pass)




      After a few songs, Michelle Wright said "There's a young boy over here in the media area and I just feel he is have a truly good time listening to our music. Do you enjoy writing music, singing or dancing?"  I said "Sure." They all laughed. A few songs later Aaron Pritchett said "The youngest media person I've ever seen is down here. I mean he's like 10 and he's there taking pictures and just rockin' out. Why don't you come on up here?" So he pulled me up on to the stage and I got to take some pictures from there. I bet you want to see the pictures I got from the stage? Here they are!

Me

Bet no one has seen a picture of Jason Blaine like this before!

This is a picture @frasercattle took of me when I was taking the picture above. LOL

This is me with everybody! Yay!

This is me and Jason, Michelle, Aaron and Charlie. And this is my signed media pass!

                      Charlie and Jason                                                                       Michelle                     

I had a great time! Hope you guys did!(If you went)
