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...

SHARKS AREN'T SCARY, THEY'RE JUST DIFFERENT!!!

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)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As you can see, I am practicing my Darth Vader voice.

No not really. I was saying NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO because I've gotta go back to school.

 

This time, I kid you not. This day shall be remembered as: "The day school took over 400 children prisoner." I am prepared, though. I will be equipped with a purple back pack (and matching lunch kit) and an Origami Yoda. With these tools, I will defeat the FUNTIME MENACE!!! Not really but if boringness finds it's way into school (and I'm sure it will) I will be ready.

 Oh! I just remembered something you guys might want to hear... I WON MY PIKACHU!!!!!! We went to Calaway Park and I saw a game. A game just like the one at K Days. But not lame. It had 3 targets instead of 1. You had to play to get 150 points. The grand prize was... A PIKACHU!!! Lauryn and I played it, and I almost lost. The guy next to me had 140. But, I got to 150 before him! And I WON MY PIKACHU!!! I decided to name him Pika.

Well, I hope you (or your kids) are ready for back to school!
