A lot of Random Clips

(static, cut to Sonic and Tails scaling a building '60s Batman style)

Tails: Alright Sonic, we should be reaching Eggman who is a couple more floors away. (suddenly, Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed appears beside the duo climbing the same building as them)
Ezio: Greetings civilians, I am looking for Masyaf Castle in which under it holds a library of vast knoweldge. Can you lead me there?
Sonic: Try looking for Leonardo da Vinci, Mr. Climber. No wait, he's dead. Okay, try looking at your local library.
Ezio: Thank you. (he continues climbing)
Sonic: Hm, that guy sounded familiar.

(static, cut to Mario standing off against Bowser as usual)
Mario: Alright-a Bowser, this has gone on for long enough!
Bowser: Yeah......you're right. I mean, I've spent 25 years kidnapping the same princess over and over again. Don't you think I should see other occupations?
Mario: I think I know just the job for you.......
(following that sequence, Bowser receives his own video game......which instantly fails due to the massive glitches)
Mario: At least it was less glitchy than Sonic 06.

(static, cut to Pac-Man in Dr. Mario's office)
Dr. Mario: You have diabetes from eating those ghosts

(static, cut to Mega Man getting a tune-up)
Mega Man: My life energy and weapon energy are full!
Dr. Light: Indeed Rock, but there is one small glitch I discovered....
Mega Man: No time Doctor, I gotta Wilies to bu(he then explodes)
Dr. Light: The glitch is that you'll be explosion prone. Maybe I should've used OCP's technology.

The Blog Post that Time Forgot

Man, has it been a long while since my last post, but now I'm back baby! With a review. And no, it's not a continuation of the first part of the Eevee and Friends review. Instead, I'll be viewing the recent Toy Story special Toy Story That Time Forgot.


This one starts two days after Christmas at Bonnie's house. What, you thought it was going to be a flashback thing about how Andy first got Woody? Well too bad! Anyway, Trixie isn't happy with how she isn't be played like a dinosaur, which takes us into the main theme of this special: You can play however the heck you wanna play. We then get introduced to one of of the many new characters in this, Angel Kitty, voiced by Emma Hudak who doesn't even have her own Wikipedia page. Following that, Bonnie goes to a playdate at her friend's, who is yet another new character, Mason who got a new video game system and a ginormous line of toys known as the Battlesaurs for Christmas.

It turns out that these toys are really insane because Mason hasn't played with them and their leader known simply as The Cleric is the only one who knows they're toys. So after Trixie and Rex suit up, the games begin as.....a sock monkey gets torn apart and two other toys lose their heads. Y'KNOW, FOR KIDS! Also, some other Battlesaurs take the other toys hostage and Trixie starts having the hots for another one named Reptillus Maximus. Soon our two heroes from the first three films escape and tell they don't know they're toys, even Buzz finds it amazing. I GET IT!

Back to the special, Woody and Buzz are swallowed up by this big fat Battlesaur which leads Trixie to find Bonnie to save them and Cleric orders Reptillius to stop her. He then discovers his own packaging during the chase while the evil Cleric tries to get rid of Woody, Buzz and Angel Kitty using Rex, against the not-very-scary dino's will. Unlucky for Lord Purple, Trixie finds the console's setup strip and is stopped by Reptillus but our triceratops tells him the importance of being a toy, which leads to a change of heart and being found by Mason. He and Bonnie then start playing with the Battlesaurs which saves our unlucky Stooges from their ventilated demise.

After the toys head home and tell the others of their adventure, Reptillus awaits Trixie's return next Tuesday sometime at 3:30. This was a really great special even if it doesn't center around the holidays much. I would also give Pixar props for actually having characters killed brutally harmed, ONSCREEN TO BE EXACT! Looks like Lasseter is taking some notes from Gravity Falls.

Anyways, I give this.........5 out of 5 stars. Well, hope that please you on my return!

Good Grief Chris Wedge!

A new trailer for the upcoming Peanuts movie is now out which was leaked by a few screenshots a few days ago. Now after my Honest Trailer parody, I now must do this. By the way, this is for my mom's friend Darsa.

So we open with Woodstock and his fellow birds decorating Snoopy's famous doghouse for the holidays complete with the iconic tune by Vince Guaraldi. One thing I really love about this forthcoming feature is that it combines the classic style with 3D visuals, which makes me think it's actually pre-rendered visuals like the old Donkey Kong games by Rare. Anyway, Snoopy wakes up and becomes the WWI Flying Ace to battle the Red Baron once again. Complete with a pop song? Despite this surprise, I'm alright as long as they don't make Linus interact with the Great Pumpkin on Skype or have Snoopy and his various siblings do the Harlem Shake, although that last one would be funny. Snoopy then lands in the ornament box and uses Woodstock to light up the decorations. The trailer ends with Charlie Brown failing yet again to catch a break as he blocks everyone's view and getting a popcorn bucket stuck on his head, complete with his trademark "good grief."

Like I said, this film combines the classic style with 3D visuals, which makes me ask why can't Hollywood do this for all CG films based off of classic properties. Genndy Tartakovsky is doing it with Popeye and a new Smurfs movie transforms the original Peyo drawings to computers. Then again, there could be a Gravity Falls movie directed by M. Night Shyamalan, produced by Uwe Boll and starring Shia LaBeouf & Kristen Stewart as Dipper and Mabel.

Honest Trailers parody: Sonic Boom

In 1991, a gaming legend was introduced as the secondary sworn enemy to Nintendo's Mario and that was Sonic the Hedgehog! Now in 2014, our little blue blur has returned.....now with extra sports tape! What you thought turning into a Nathan Drake clone wasn't enough?

Join Sonic, his friend, a new character which everyone believed to be a redesign of Marine the Raccoon and various colorful characters as they battle the evil Dr. Robot...I mean Eggman! Who doesn't even look like an egg anymore, I guess someone has been working out.

See Sonic and the gang on endless adventures on a new cartoon show on the one and only Cartoon Network which really needs to get back on it's feet a bit. Seriously guys, renewing Johnny Test was one thing but RUINING THE REPUTATION OF A FAMOUS ANIMATED SERIES BASED OFF OF A DC COMICS TEAM IS DIGGING YOUR GRAVE EVEN DEEPER!

You can also buy two new games for the Wii U and 3DS: Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal! But I would recommend the 3DS version as the Wii U one is glitchy but still isn't as glitchy as Sonic 06.

If you were born without a TV or video games in your life you can check out the new comic book series by Archie, the guys who've brought Mary-Sues, recolors, cheap fanfics and so much more. And whoever hired that jerk Ken Penders needs to be dragged to the place where Bruce Wayne's parents were killed and shot. And Penders too.

STARRING......

Nathan Drake,

Numbah Two,

Hulk Hogan,

Princess Peach,

Rescuers Down Under reject

And Porco Rosso.

Sonic Boom: speeding your way to television, gaming consoles and printing presses now!

So. if the TV show was given a better time slot, maybe it would've saved the network! I am the most genius man ever! That way, we can bring back all the great shows they screwed over like Thundercats, Green Lantern and Young Justice. But it's not likely to happen as kids today "don't want this." LIES!!!!

New fanfic idea

I've thought up this fanfiction featuring superheroes of all kinds called "Earth's Mightiest Heroes" and ever since watching a few Youtube videos about them, it hit me.

The story is about a new villain that poses a major threat to not only the world, but all of existence. To combat this new evil, the Avengers join forces with their longtime rivals the Justice League of America along with some other heroes such as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the Tick, Big Hero 6, the Incredibles and so much more. It also features a special appearance from the titular action team of the long-forgotten Disney Super Sentai knockoff, Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go. I wonder how the Sentiels can fare against the Super Robot.

And like any other Marvel superhero flick, it will feature a cameo from Stan Lee and a post credits scene featuring an assembly of comic book villains led by Doc Ock and Lex Luthor featuring baddies like Ultron, Shredder and......LOKI?! (Belt from "The Croods" pops out of nowhere and performs his trademark 'dun dun dun' before disappearing.) And where did he come from?!

Well, after that I feel it's time to hit the hay.

Zap to It!

A Nintendo Direct was released today showing off mostly 3DS games, Wii U games, amiibo, DLC and much more. Now to get things started!

A 3D version of the Zelda classic Majora's Mask was announced as leaked by Target. Like its predecessor Ocarina of Time 3D, it features improved character models and stereoscopic 3D. The European release will feature a pin badge, double-sided poster and a steelbook.....whatever that it.

More about Hyrule Warriors was revealed including that the Link Amiibo figure will unlock the Spinner from Twilight Princess as DLC. This can also mean the figures of Zelda, Sheik, Ganondorf and Toon Link will get players something as well.

Tons of DLC has been revealed for Mario Kart 8 that involves other Nintendo franchises such as Zelda, F-Zero, Animal Crossing and Excitebike. Playable characters that will also be in are Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Link, Dry Bowser, Villager, Isabelle and multi-colored Yoshis and Shy Guys. The only character I'm sore with are Tanooki and Cat as they could've been costumes for Mario and Peach but it at least gives Nintendo a chance to expand the ever-controversial race roster.

Duck Hunt is officially revealed as a playable character for Smash 4 even though we've known that since the ESRB leaks. They also shown off a Duck Hunt themed stage for the Wii U version and a trophy representing the indie game BIT.TRIP, in which Nintendo published.

There will be several Wii U games to be compatible with Amiibo besides Super Smash Bros such as the already released Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors along with new titles like Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Mario Party 10 and Yoshi's Woolly World.

3rd-party game Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has plenty of DLC themed after other games such as Metroid, Zelda, Sonic and Mega Man. But the latest one has to be the Mario Bros suits for your Palico pal. We've had Mario as a cat and now we have a cat as Mario. What would PETA do about that, say cats are evil creatures that turn humans into clothing?

And that's all I can collect about the new Direct. Farewell, and keep on Smashing!

Yet another Debate

Tonight, elections are going on for the House, Senate, and some governors and Jack, Grandma and I are watching it on CNN. It started with some talking then after the commercial break, we finally got on the action in Kentucky in the battle between Alison Grimes and Mitch McConnell.


And now the National US House is saying Obama and Congress aren't doing their jobs well and the country is on the wrong track. Wow, America is more angry than Daffy Duck!


Global warming is still a problem, so that's good.


Something something Republic gardeners, moving on!


Jake Tapper says we're gonna have a sugar high tonight and have a good night's sleep. This guy I can support!


Our contenders are walking up to the stage at Shaheen HQ, wherever that it. There's also Brown HQ, Cotton HQ, wow they'll make an HQ out of everything!


We're back at the Election Center as we anticipate the big event that will determine the fate of both America and our sanity. The Republics need to add 6 six more seats to their already 51.


McConnell needs one more vote to win in only three minutes left! Who will reign victorious?


Joe Johnson and Nick Valencia report from polls in Lexington, Kentucky and Lawrencevill, Georgia. And from what I see, nobody gives an acorn about Georgia.


Now we only have 30 seconds left! (makes random anime reaction noises)


5.....4........3.......2.............1! Mitch wins!


Now we move onto Virginia and South Carolina and 34 Democrats are coming back.


Niki Haley wins South Carolina while Georgia and Vermont are still deciding.


Allison Grimes wins the women's vote while Mitch wins the men's. How surprising.


Party control of the US is important.


And there's more talking.


Now someone was saved by a pizza boy, how excitingly mouthwatering!


Now we have have too many bumpers centering on the election, but I'm hyped!


The race stills goes on as Nort Carolina, Ohio and the third one!


Whites are owning it in voting which makes me feel bad for the other races in America.


The next polls close in only 1 minute!


Charlie Crist is beating Rick Scott in this one! Which makes me wonder if Rick is related to Ridley Scott of Alien franchise fame.


Shelly Moore wins West Virginia!


34 Dems and Repubs are in the race!


John Kasich has been reelected as governor of Ohio.


Virginia now has Mark Warner and Jim Gilmore to handle!


Perdue and Nunn are still in it on Georgia.


We now have our first hiccup for control in this, which means it can't be good.


Okay, this may take a while. Virginia is still working, blah blah blah, now watch me take a long slow sip from this random empty mug!


I think that's enough for now. The real question is who will win tonight? AND DON'T SUBMIT TO COOKIE BOREDOM!!!!!

London Bridge is falling down........again

My parents are in London now and my grandma is staying with me and Jack for the week. And on the way home from school, mom asked me what souvenir she wanted to bring me from there and I replied with "surprise me."

I wonder what will she bring me but that's for me to find out. I know this post isn't much but that's all I can bring up. Later hater!

FREE FOR ALL!

A recent Nintendo Direct centering on the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros 4 was released today by the Big N themselves announcing 50 things about it, including the fact that Mewtwo will be a downloadable fighter and there will be 8-player battles. Let me go over some things.


SSB4 will not have just 4 player battles, but up to 8 player battles as well! To do this, the developers put in larger stages such as the Great Cave Offensive from Kirby Super Star and a larger version of the trademark Battlefield stage.


RIDLEY IS CONFIRMED.........as the stage boss of the Pyrosphere stage in which he can be recruited as an ally. You thought I was gonna say something else, did you?!


The reveal trailer for Bowser Jr. has been revealed which involves the Koopa King's Khild himself beating up Mario and his Smashing friends, before eventually calling on the other Koopalings to give the plumber the spanking he deserved after 25 years. I'm sure their father must be proud.


Well, that's all I can give out! And remember to keep smashing!

Finally!

After all these times of only uploading small clips and full episodes & reviews getting pulled down, we finally can watch episodes of The Simpsons online legally! And possibly Fox will be less obsessed with copyright. Another thing is that FXX will do yet another Simpsons marathon where they broadcast all Treehouse of Horror episode for 12 straight hours.

As for my favorite of these episodes, I'd pick the short where Homer goes CGI. An interesting fact is that the computer animation in that one was done by Pacific Data Images, who would later produce such DreamWorks classics like Madagascar, How to Train your Dragon and their most notable work Shrek.

Well, that's all I have to say for tonight and remember: the animatronic Slenderman bear is watching you. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Some jolly ol' crackers

I'm bored so why don't we pass the time with some good old fashioned jokes!


Why are math books always sad? Because they have so many PROBLEMS! (from my mom's friend Wendy)


Why did the hero flush the toilet? Because it was his DOODY!
(got that one from Wreck-It Ralph)


What did the butt say to the other butt? You CRACK me up little buddy!

That's all I got, folks.

NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-NA-EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!

A little bird told me (that little bird being the Internet) that The Lego Movie will have a spin-off film featuring Batman as the main character set for release in 2017, pushing TLM's sequel to the year after that.

Now let's take some time to speculate on one thing: what's the plot? Maybe Joker will create his Kragle that freezes targets upon them going insane. I know that sounds a little dark even for a widely-successful animated film based on a line of construction toys but it's Batman, what do you expect? Or maybe it will be inspired by the old Adam West series. Maybe not since one, that would be too cheesy and two, the first part of the upcoming Zack Snyder Justice League movie would be given a bad name simply because it was released the same year as that other movie.

Alright I've got a great idea. Joker teams up with some fellow Gotham baddies (I'd pick Penguin, Mr. Freeze and the Riddler) to take over the city and eventually the entire Lego universe by using Kragle made out of Kryptonite! I know it may sound ridiculous and the Kryptonite part may be a slight step into crossover territory but DC just adores crossovers and maybe we can see Superman in the film like in Lego Batman 2.

I must go now, my grades needs me. And remember, everything is AWESOME!

Oculus R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-R-OCK ON!

I tried out the Oculus Rift goggles at Have Dreams, and they were awesome!

The Oculus Rift is a set of VR goggles that people can use to play games on it. The one used at Have Dreams had a Minecraft coaster that gave a lot of people nausea. Other games ported to the Rift were Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Half-Life, Portal and many more. Minecraft however wasn't lucky after the goggles were purchased by Facebook but there's still a mod for it!

At snack time, the other kids and I thought up several games that would work for the Oculus like a first-person version of Mario.

Shorter than one of the last ones I churned out but farewell.

Date for Debate!

Tonight Gov. Pat Quinn and Candidate Bruce Rauner debate each other! Some guy named Jak Tichenor is the moderator.

Opening statements by coin toss:

Quinn: Governors in jail! Budget deficit! all bad when he took office. But now -- jobs are up, unemployment is down. Education is good!

Rauner: thank you thank you thank you.  He seems nervous. Machine politicians! Crime! Unemployment! All bad!

Question #1 -- from Amanda Vinicky.  Who on the other side of the political fence do you most admire and think you could work wth?

Rauner -- I like to work with everyone!

Quinn -- I work with everyone! I like everyone!

They are both wearing striped ties -- Quinn has blue and silver, Rauner has blue and red.

Rauner seems befuddled. Is he prepared for this? Preparation for public speaking is key.

Chrysler and Belvedere had 400 jobs when he started. Now they have 4,000! says Gov. Quinn

Illinois has lost over 40,000 manufacturing jobs since Quinn took office. Illinois is hostile to manufacturing firms. Is this true? How do you find out if this is true?

Climate Change -- is it true? Rauner says we need a "broad base of energy." Doesn't say if he believes in climate change. Oh! He likes fracking -- my mom's friend Darsa HATES fracking!

Quinn says we need to take on climate change. We need energy efficiency.

Amanda Vinicky asked if Rauner ever hired someone who was a novice to work for him. He blah blah blahed and didn't answer the question.

Burn! Quinn said Rauner has been involved in 12 bankrupt companies!

Education!!  Rauner says we are 48th in the 50 states for education funding. Mom snorted and said we are 48th for funding care of the disabled, so that figures.

Pension protection clause -- were the Illinois Constitution framers right?  Rauner thinks we should freeze the current pension where they are, then create a new pension plan for people.

Quinn passed a bipartisan pension reform plan.  Quinn says we shouldn't talk about the pension protection clause right now.

$10 per hour minimum wage thing on the ballot. Would this destroy the economy. Quinn favors raising the minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage supports social justice.

Rauner says Quinn has NOT raised the minimum wage and Illinois fails on jobs. FAILS!

Rauner keeps talking about "political football." The questioner asked about something in Kansas, but Rauner started talking about something else. Do these guys know how to answer actual questions?

Quinn says Rauner supports unfair taxes. If Rauner gets his way, we'll have to pay taxes on garbage pickup.

Quinn competes for everyone's votes! He wants all the votes!

rauner says Quinn is trying to buy African American votes! Rauner says he and his wife are total supporters of the black community! They care deeply for the African Americans. My mom reminds us he lives in Winnetka, where they didn't used to allow black people after dark.

Quinn says Rauner had 51 executives in his investment from and none of them are African Americans. This came in an question in about worker's comp. Huh? Again, do these guys know how to answer a question?

Waste and fraud in medicaid is out of control, says Rauner. Waste and fraud!

This Amanda Vinicky always looks so cheerful! I like her!

Quinn says he isn't perfect since no human being is. Quinn says he takes responsibility when things goes wrong, but Rauner doesn't.

"What service would you cut, Governor?" Quinn isn't answering. He's just blabbing.

Rauner says he would cut the Dept of Central Management Services, because it has no point.

Quinn passed a budget he didn't like because we need to have a working budget. Then he said more about Rauner's service taxes.  Vinicky says no one can make the numbers in Rauner's budget add up -- would he please make them add up. He is blabbing about growing jobs and how Chicago politicians are running things. He didn't do any adding.

Prisons -- rehabilitate inmates so people don't keep going back to jail. How will they do it? Rauner says blah blah and thinks we should help non-violent offenders. We need to change! But no answers how.  Quinn says prison guards support him. Ha!  Quinn says there are programs to help people get jobs after they get out of jail.

Closing statements --

Quinn -- thank you! The heart of Illinois, the heart of a volunteer, is the heart of America! He wants to invest in all kinds of things.

Rauner -- he loves Illinois passionately. He wants to make Illinois better. Blagojevich and Quinn have ruined Illinois and only Rauner can fix it! Excited to go to work and fix things!

Good night from Peoria!

Doom

My mom and grandma were talking about that guy in Dallas who died of ebola. "We're all screwed," I told my mom. She says she doesn't think so. She said that since I don't know anyone who has ebola and have never been to Dallas, I'm safe. I guess so.

Jack keeps giving me big wet smooches and telling me he's giving me ebola. Mom yells at him, because he has a cold, and she doesn't want me to catch it. I got really mad at Jack earlier this evening and screamed "may the demons whisper your name, John Christopher!!!" Mom  said she was sick of both of us. Jack needs to stop trying to spread contagion and disease, and I'm not allowed to invoke Satan in the house.  Jack says mom is no fun.

Dad is in Brazil right now. He sent us a picture of the beach. Mom got very sad, because he's on a beach and she is listening to us talk about ebola and demons. I think she doesn't appreciate our sparkling insanity.

For the Bigwigs

Mom wants me to do vlogs for Youtube, but I'd rather not. You see, vlogging is not really my thing because I'd rather show my face in actual public instead of talking to the 35 year old basement dwellers.

The more explanatory reason why I'd not do vlogging is because I don't want to end up like said basement dwellers. Besides, we all know how often they appear in the fanbases of such characters as Daffy Duck or Sonic.

Well I know this is a pretty short one but seeya!

Ain't no Smoker

I went to the allergist today, and the doctor asked me if I've been smoking which got me a little ticked off. First of all, I thought you can smoke at like 18 or 20 meaning I'd be too young until now. Secondly, I'd get a one way ticket to lung cancer and eventually death. Third, drugs are just pointless anyway. But, the dr said that they are required by law to ask about smoking once a patient turns 13. Crazy.

Plus, she asked me if I drink, which mom says makes you do stupid things and then makes you sick. If I drank, I'd wouldn't want to find myself knocked out on the curb. The whole idea sounds horrible.

Grandpa's birthday

My Grandpa turned 80 last week. (My dad's dad. My other grandpa died a long time before I was born.) We had a sort of surprise dinner for him to celebrate. Jack and I wrote a proclamation for his birthday:

O most Venerable and Majestic Grandfather Ogre, Patriarch of the House of Mayer,

We, your two eldest grandsons, are pleased to congratulate you upon attaining the august age of eighty years upon this earth. May you continue to live long and prosper in the years to come.

Copious amounts of affection, Jack and Andy. (The Ogre thing has grown on me. I didn't like that nickname for a long time, but I'm okay with it now.)

And Jack read it in his dramatic Jack voice.

My cousin Daniel was at the dinner which was great. Daniel is my favorite cousin. He's funny, and easygoing, and we like the same things. We both like animation and video games and pop culture. It's too bad he lives in Ohio, because it would be fun to hang out with him more.

London Bridge

I hope London Bridge is NOT falling down. My dad went to London today. He is doing sound for the NFL Raiders/Dolphins game at Wembley Stadium. Wembley Stadium has 90,000 seats. Soldier Field, where my dad usually works, only has 61,500 seats.

(The seats at Wembley stadium are OVER 90 THOUSAND!!!  Ha ha. Joke from Dragonball Z that turned into an internet meme.)

I wonder if Dad will have time to buy me a souvenir in London? I think I would like a mini model of Big Ben. Jack says he wants "I don't know. Something." Jack is a very difficult child. That is why I like to torment him.

Goodnight Sweet Prince!

Humanity is on the brink of extinction. Their own idiocy and greed will be the end of us all. And I'm pretty much the only person left with common sense.


That's right, the person you are right now is devolving back into your descendant: a filthy brainless ape! Over the past year, I've discovered how you yes you are just thriving for attention! Just look at Pooh's Adventures, they're terribly made and yet everyone likes them. How about the Twilight series, they're poorly written and yet its only audience are insane teenage girls and people who just want something to laugh at. And let us not forget the Sonic fanbase, home to recolor artists, shipping wars, Archie Comics haters and so much more! And by the way Sonic Adventure 3 will never happen, ever!

Another thing that's bothering me is TV mandates. Nickelodeon's on its last leg thanks to SpongeBob and FOP renewals. What happened to the good old days where we had creator driven shows? Once we had an angry Chihuahua, a group of babies, kids in the Bronx and even a high-schooler who lives in a town of humanized My Little Pony rejects. Nowadays we have twerking ducks who deliver bread, a boy and his snake who go around making fart jokes, a duo of Teen Titans knockoffs, a continuation of a popular show during the 2000s that's been moved to the website and pretty much the only good show left that hasn't been moved online is about four teenaged turtles who fight crime and eat pizza.

Now let's see the popular shows of two other networks, Disney Channel and Cartoon Network. DC has Phineas and Ferb, Gravity Falls and Wander over Yonder while CN has Adventure Time, Regular Show and Steven Universe. Gumball I left out because I couldn't watch it anymore due to timeslots. Well, there's always Netflix.

If we could change our ways for the better, then the world could be a better place. If it does go under, we could always move to Uranus.

Have Jokes

I had a good time at Have Dreams this week, especially in snack time. My mates and I were joking about a part of one of the Richard Scarry's Busytown games where the character Dr. Diane would always use bandages. Here are some of the highlights!

"Doctor, I split my pancreas!" "I'll put a bandage on it."

"Doctor, I have a brain tumor!" "I'll put a bandage on it."

"Doctor, some guy ripped my tongue out!" "Open wide. I'll put a bandage on it."

"I've been shot in the privates!" "I'll put a bandage on it."

"Doctor, I lost my leg when it was run over by some kid driving a pickup truck!" "I'll put a bandage on it."

Well as they say, that's all folks!

Reasons Ms. Diggins and family should move to Chicago

Ms. Diggins was my teacher last year, but she moved home to Buffalo to be near her mom and brothers and sisters. I think she should just move her whole family here and come back to teach me. Then her mom wouldn't miss her AND I wouldn't miss her!

Reasons to move to Chicago from Buffalo:

1.) Chicago Hot Dogs. Have you heard of Buffalo hot dogs? I don't think so.
2.) Lake Michigan is better than Lake Erie. Or maybe less polluted, anyhow.
3.) Patrick Kane is already IN Chicago!
4.) You can get Buffalo wings here, too.
5.) My grandpa is from Buffalo, and he moved to Chicago, so Chicago is the right choice.
6.) Does Buffalo even have a baseball team? I don't think so. We have two.
7.) I MISS HER!!!

Evidence clearly supports the entire Diggins family moving to Chicago.  As Jean-Luc Picard would say "make it so!"

The song that's Hard to Make up

Our family enjoys making songs about each other, and tonight we're making one about Uncle John, yet very few things rhyme with John. Like long, gong, bong, song, dong, hong, tong, okay maybe there are things that rhyme with John.

Y'know, this tradition has been going on for quite a while that I have a feeling it'll stay for generations. But I'm just "Saiyan." (canned laughter) WOCKA WOCKA!

Still sick

I'm still sick, end of story.

Naw, just kidding! Anyway, I'm still sick because this cold has been around for a while but I am starting to feel better. And Dad is coming home Wednesday, woohoo!

Another topic I want to talk about is how I think the J-Pop industry will take over the world, and no I'm not crazy! Think of the game Azure Striker Gunvolt, where our hero who works for a resistance against some random evil corporation, discovers that the controller of a holographic pop star is actually a 13 year old girl. Think very hard on this one. Young girls are using their singing talent for their crazy fans and evil owners.

Now look back to Hatsune Miku of the Vocaloids, if anyone reading this would understand what I'm talking about. Now Vocaloids are computer-generated puppets that you can make sing and dance and Miku is one of them. Speaking of Miku, she, a holographic version of herself, once performed in front of a whole audience in Tokyo and it sold more tickets than the premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy!

Meanwhile in reality, one of the members of the J-Pop multi-group AKB48 was apparently caught by the press dating a random guy when the rules say any member of the group weren't allowed to! Now, they announced of new member that's the Japanese equivalent of Frankenstein's Monster! They're creating idols to control our brains, wallets and eventually the world! Play the game, look up the Miku concert on the Internet (I recommend the Kids React of that by the Fine Bros), look up the whole AKB48 thing and you'll understand what I just said. (sirens erupt) Oh great, it's the fuzz! Quick, assemble some heroes, stop this revolution and don't say I didn't warn you!

Sick!

I'm sick. I have a cold. My head hurts, my throat hurts, my nose is snoogy and life is dismal.  My mom is also sick. She was supposed to get up and go to a boot camp workout this morning, but instead we both stayed in bed.  Dismal, I tell you.

My dad is in Amsterdam and he is not sick, we hope. He comes home on Wednesday.

I hope this cold goes away by Friday. There's nothing worse than being sick on the weekend. You get two whole days off school, and you spend them feeling gross.

My brother Jack's birthday was yesterday. He turned 16. We were supposed to go out to dinner with Grandma and Uncle Sean, but I was sick, so we didn't go anywhere.  Right now we are talking about Homecoming and whether Jack will go to it. I said he should find a hot girl and ask her. Mom said I shouldn't talk like a sexist pig. I said I just want Jack to man up! I told Mom I'm maybe 30% pig. Jack says I am 100% pig. Mom says no boys of hers will be pigs of any kind.

Back to school

My mom went to my brother's back to school night tonight. But first she had something to do in the afternoon -- so my grandma picked up me and Jack. Then grandma got us turkey sandwiches for dinner. Mom went to Loyola to listen to the teachers blab about Jack's day.

I think they told her that Jack is sarcastic as usual, but very smart. And that they hope he will use his powers for good and not for evil. He should not become Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.  I'm sure there was a lot more blah blah blah in there, but that's a good summary.

CrazyTown

Weather brought to you via CrazyTown. First, it rained, then it was humid and hot and gross. Now it is kind of cold and tomorrow is supposed to feel like fall. All in a day! If you thought last year's winter tundra was insane, you should look at this.

We've had some crazy weather recently mostly with the above mentioned tundra or the big rainstorm we had a few weeks ago. Well, I gotta go since it's 42 minutes past ten! Laters.

Every Simpsons EVER!!!

During the last week of August and the first day of September, there was a Simpsons marathon on FXX that promoted said show's FXX premiere, 26th season premiere and the Family Guy crossovers coming up. It was said to be the longest marathon ever, lasting 12 days airing all 552 episodes plus the movie chronologically. Even the bad ones such as season 9's Principal and the Pauper. When you air an episode that even the creator Matt Groening can't defend, you've got guts. And I wonder how the "real" Seymour is doing on that train?

I've watched the marathon and in the words of Comic Book Guy, best 12 days of my life ever! I'd have to say, that was a great moment in my life next to unlocking Dr. Mario in Super Smash Bros Melee and playing through so far all seasons of Sam and Max. Out of all seasons, I'd say 10 is my favorite mostly because I think it was the first one I got on DVD. Man what a ride I had on the last few days of summer. And a big thank you for the Simpson clan themselves for making people laugh since 1989. Or 1987 if you count the shorts from the Tracy Ullman Show as canon.

Poli-Fest

Yesterday, my mom and brother and I went to the Misericordia Family Fest. My mom worked there in the morning, and then she drove home and got us, and then Jack had to work in the afternoon. His job was to hold signs and things for the Misericordia Heartbreakers. They are the dancers at Misericordia, and my Uncle Sean is one of them. My mom had to do a lot of driving yesterday because my dad was working at the Bears game, Grandma was already at Misericordia, and Jack can't drive yet. (I find the idea of Jack driving a car very frightening.)

So, we dropped Jack off to do his job, and then met up with my Grandma to sit down and watch the show. It was very crowded and very loud. It was horrible. Before the Heartbreakers danced, a couple of politicians had to make some speeches. Bruce Rauner was there, and Governor Quinn, and Dick Durbin, and someone running for Comptroller, blah blah blah. Dick Durbin had the best speech. He said "God bless Sister Rosemary and God bless Misericordia." I was glad his speech was so short because I was ready to get out of there.

After he blah blahed, Governor Quinn walked around and shook hands. He came by me and mom and mom asked if I wanted a picture with the Governor. I said "sure, why not?" So we took a picture and shook hands. He asked how old I was and where I went to school and I told him. He seemed like a nice guy, but you never know with these politicians, I guess.

I read it on the internet

So the other night, I posted that my brother Jack is neurotic. Then  a friend of my mom's who reads this blog told her "Jack is neurotic. I read it on the internet." And Jack said "WHAT?" (He then attempted to beat me up)

Ha ha. I love the power of the written word.

One more day of this first week of school! It's been good.  I haven't lost my cool yet. Go ME! I have relaxation homework to do. That seems like an oxymoron, but whatever.

Back to the Ball and Chain

Today was the first day of school this year and I'm now a 7th grader at Edison Park. A lot of things happened, such as my old comrade Ryan G moving back to Chicago. Some other things that happened were that Ms. Diggins moved back to her family in Buffalo and I know share the same recess with fellow Pokemon trainer Steven.

Today I had a good day but Jack was a little suspicious. He thought I would have a bad day and that I was an alien. Typical Jack he is, so neurotic.

Well, I better go now. Bye bye!

SUMMER BELONGS TO.......random people (can't say it because of copyright from Disney)

I only have two weeks til summer break so I guess I'll talk about the things I anticipate this time.


Every summer, my family goes to my granny and grandpa's cottage in Michigan. I'm pretty excited for that as I love laying around inside and playing on the dock. The nights there are exceptionally cool and breezy even if the timezone is different than Illinois.

I also am excited for my birthday.  I wished for a lot of cool stuff, but I'd rather not tell right now.

Well, that's all I have to say. That's all folks.

Last Wednesday Night

I stayed over at my Granny and Grandpa's instead of Uncle John's because he had a Hawks game to go to. The rest of my family went to Misericordia's Artist in All whilst I was watched over by Granny and Grandpa. But I had one big surprise after finishing up some pizza for dinner, I got a Reese's ice cream sandwich Uncle John left for me! I usually eat it on a plate but at Granny and Grandpa's I used my hands.

We watched the Hawk's game last night. THAT was depressing, indeed. What the heck happened? Uncle John says they were playing sloppy and they need to tighten up their game. I hope they can do that. Overall, I had a fun time at my Granny and Grandpa's place.

Do you wanna watch a movie?

I recently got Disney's Frozen on Blu Ray thanks to my mom and I'm now watching so here's my review of i...(phone rings) Yes? (bazooka fires out of receiving end) If I get another bazooka to the face, this phone will be blasted to bits!

So here's the basic plot for those who haven't seen it: there are two sisters that are princesses of a kingdom and one has ice powers that she can't control. When the other sister is crowned, she accidentally reveals them to the public and now the first sister has to go find her in what I think a Wizard of Oz style when she encounters an ice-seller & his pet reindeer and a snowman who doesn't care if he's killed off. And there's also a prince who is the youngest of twelve brothers and some crazy Duke who hates having his place's name mispronounced.

I guess that's all I can...(phone rings again) You sure this ain't Culver's? (another bazooka is fired from the phone) Alright, that's it! (aims bazooka at phone, explosion in the distance) That oughta stop whoever keeps shooting me! Now I want said whoever to call me and reveal their name! (phone rings once more) Alright, who is it this time?

Caller: I thought this was the local lasagna joint? They make the best I've ever tasted!

Garfield? How did you get a hold of a bazooka?

Garfield: I found one in the junkyard while looking for parts to make an antenna.

You could just find a coat hanger. What do you need stuff like that for?

Garfield: The TV broke and we had to lock Jon in the kitchen closet because he went nuts. He said he'd miss Once Upon a Time.

You mean Once Upon a Time Once Upon a Time? I was reviewing the Blu Ray for Frozen and I'm watching it right now. Also, I heard it's coming to that show.

Garfield: You mean my indie short film has been noticed by Hollywood?

No, I mean the other Frozen with Kristen Bell and Idina Menzel. What is your Frozen about?

Garfield: It was just me filming Odie trapped in a snow bank. You wanna watch it? I'm selling DVDs.

Sure, just send it over. (hangs up) Well, I gotta go now.

Icy Creamy Sandwichy

Lemme tell you about my favorite ice cream sandwich: Reese's Chocolate, both regular and Klondike. When they're separate it's great, but when combined it's heaven! It's just so delicious when you mix PB&C with vanilla ice cream so.....oh! Initiate crazy mode! HUJADHFUIDGHWUYFGDASYFGHJSDAGFJHADGSFHJGASHJJJJUHUHHKJHKHD

Mega Man Megaforce

After becoming a newfound fan of Mega Man through his reveal in Smash Bros, the comics, Mega Man 2 and the Ruby-Spears cartoon, I decided "Hey, if there should be more than one Mega Man cartoon, then why not I make one!" So that's the birth of my new series Mega Man Megaforce. Like Transformers Reloaded, a lot of the Robot Masters that are members of the Megaforce or created by Wily are based off of other fictional characters. Here are my favorites that I created!

  • Thief Man, based off of Sly Cooper
  • Hungry Man, based off of Homer Simpson
  • Grow Man, based off of the Lorax
  • Marmalade Man, based off of Paddington Bear
  • Chowder Man, based off of Chowder
  • Catch Man, based off of Ash Ketchum
And now, here's something I hope you'll really like: the plot! Set after the events of Mega Man 10 after his most recent battle with Wily, Mega Man decided he needed some backup so he requested Dr. Light to create some Robot Masters for his new group that he calls the Megaforce. Along with his sister Roll, the faithful dogbot Rush and a whole slew of colorful characters, Mega Man will always be there to stop Wily from taking over the world. Early in the second season, Sigma from Mega Man X finds a time vortex that leads him to the year 20XX and a partnership with Light's jealous colleague. A lot of the stories deal with Wily creating a new Robot Master or Maverick that will destroy the Megaforce or the city and Mega Man has to stop it.

Later in the third season, Wily discovers Ra Moon in the Lanfront Ruins and uses the alien supercomputer to construct new Robot Masters or Mavericks from here on.

Well, that's all the show has to offer, and now the cast!

Jason Griffith as Mega Man, Proto Man
Jim Byrnes as Dr. Light
Ashleigh Ball as Roll
Frank Welker as Rush, Beat, Eddie, Tango
Scott McNeil as Dr. Wily
Carter Cathcart as Auto
Tim Curry as Sigma
David Humphery as Bass
Maurice LaMarche as Ra Moon
Kevin Miller as Thief Man
Dan Castellaneta as Hungry Man
Veronica Taylor as Catch Man
Nicky Jones as Hungry Man

I guess that's all I can think of for the cast so good night everybody!

An Ode to Ms. McMahon

Our assistant principal is leaving at the end of the year. She's moving to be near her family. That's good for the family and for her, but sad for our school and ME. I am going to miss her.

Ms. McMahon
Gives great hugs
Is nice to all kids
Loyal to Edison Park and Mr. Z
Calls me Handsome
Is Smart
Is Funny
Is Kind
Cheerful in the morning at the door
Very Pretty!

I've known Ms. McMahon since I was in first grade! I was much smaller then. I don't remember if she called me Handsome back in first grade or if that happened when I got older and better looking? I was very cute in first grade, though.

I hope Ms. McMahon can find a good school to run in Connecticut. Those kids will be VERY LUCKY. I hope Mr. Z picks a good new assistant principal, though no one will take Ms. McMahon's place.

Transformers Reloaded

I've recently got an idea for a new TV series based on one look at my Hulk toy. I call it Transformers Reloaded which takes place after my favorite of the Transformers cartoons, Animated.

Here's the plot: Set a long time after TFA, new Autobots will be born. Including one Autobot named Mini-Prime. Constructed as a recon probe, Mini-Prime is a cheerful and friendly individual who looks up to Optimus Prime and his group of Autobots for their great heroism. One fateful day, Mini-Prime is ordered by Sentinel Prime to search for a famous Autobot veteran named Bulk Bolts, who was thrown into a permanent stasis-lock by an incarnation of Megatron known as First Blood and based on my Hulk Transformer. Upon finding Bulk Bolts, he meets some more Autobots including Sir Arthur, Lightning Strike and Wish Granted. A few months later when Mini-Prime, Bulk Bolts, Sir Arthur, Lightning Strike, Wish Granted, Huffer & Pipes, Arcee, Hot Rod and Sai Stab were being transported to Cybertron through the Ark, Decepticons led by First Blood attacked, rusting several Autobots but Mini-Prime and friends. Mini-Prime wanted to help fight them but Sentinel Prime refused because he was too young. Just as the Ark was going to blow up, Mini-Prime and his group were accidentally trans-warped to Detroit in the year 2078, where they met Issac Sumdac's organic son Jerry and his friend the wacky sanitation worker Wreck-Gar. Knowing that First Blood would trace them to Earth, Mini-Prime decided to start training with Bulk Bolts to prepare for battle.

Good story, right? Well, here's the non-fficial cast I made up. Like another series I thought of called Mega Man Megaforce, this show features robots based off of other fictional characters. (i.e. Lightning Strike is based off of Sonic the Hedgehog)

Autobots and humans
Tara Strong as Mini-Prime (I base Mini-Prime's voice off of Bokkun from Sonic X)
Jim Cummings as Bulk Bolts
Eris Loomis as Sir Arthur
Jason Griffith as Lightning Strike
Daran Norris as Wish Granted
Rob Paulsen as Sai Stab
Ian James Cortlett as Plasma Power
Jay Leno as Bulldoze
Tracey Moore as Hydrant
Vincent Martella as Jerry

Decepticons
(Please note that these are the only Decepticons I thought up)
Alan Oppenheimer as First Blood, the main antagonist
Michael Donovan as Lava Pour, an incarnation of Starscream and First Blood's second in command.

Well now that's that, good night everybody!

Whether the Weather

It's so cold out. Today we had light rain showers which was fine, but my lousy Thursday was just an ending point for a gloomy week. It was nothing but cold air and rain all week and no sunshine. Even if it was sunny, it was still cold out. Worst of all, schools has the absolutely worst air conditioning in the history of air conditioning, which means all body temperatures were harmed during the making of this film. Well as they always say, Thank God it's Almost Summer Break or T.G.I.A.S.B for short.

I hope I can survive these remaining seven weeks as a lump of hot-temperature corpse. I just can't wait til I can live in the Land of Air Conditioning and Bug Spray.

Happy Birthday Cap'n Tazer!

Today is the birthday of the one and only Jonathan Toews, our favorite hockey player. He was born on this day way back in 1988, so that means he's 26. He's 10 years older than Jack, who was born in 1998 and 13 years older than yours truly, born in 2001. He's already won 2 Stanley Cups, 2 Olympic gold medals and a World gold medal. I think Jack and I better step up our game. Though I was in the newspaper and Jack just won some awards at school, so we're not doing TOO bad. Also, mom thinks we're very handsome, so we've got that on our side.

Also, this date is the birthday of my news soccer ball erasers that I found on Amazon. Sadly, I've already lost the black one. Mom says she will find it, but I have my doubts, seeing as how they're so small.

MOAR Hockey!

We're watching more Hockey. The Hawks are playing the St Louis Blues in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. This is the 4th game. The Blues won the first 2, but then the Hawks won game # 3. Now they are playing game #4 and they are tied at zero.

Brent Seabrook, who is #7 got suspended for 3 games for hitting the captain of the Blues, David Backes. He smacked Backes in the head with his shoulder and Backes didn't look very good after that. I don't think Brent Seabrook meant to smack him in the head, but he probably should have been more careful.

Ha ha. The bank commercial is on where the guy has has a debit card with the Hawks logo on it and it means that Hawks players are with him all the time. I like the one where they swim with him in the pool!

The Soundtrack's a Happy Song (literally)

I got the soundtrack for Muppets Most Wanted in my Easter basket along with a Pikachu plush and Yoshi's New Island. Now, I loved Muppets Most Wanted but the music is what really stole me. Now, before I continue, another favorite song of mine in this was the Interrogation Song. It had such a catchy beat and hilarious lyrics. Now, on with the unannounced part 2!

Cockatoo in Malibu had a romantic disco beat that made it special. Although it can be a little strange at times.

The Spanish Muppet Show theme was okay but didn't live up to the great English version.

Something So Right was a nice song and was funny at times like the whole "little pink frog and little green piggy" part.

Working in the Coal Mine was catchy for the cold Gulag and it had Jemaine Clement. What else can you ask for?

Finally, Together Again again was a great tribute to Muppets Take Manhatten and it had Josh Groban, an actor my mom is a huge fan of.

Overall, Muppets Most Wanted was great movie and had a great soundtrack. For those who haven't seen it, soundtrack first movie later.

This is What I call the Muppets Most Wanted Review!!!!

Well, you all wanted it so here it is: my review of the recent puppet flick, Muppets Most Wanted!

The story here is that after thinking up a sequel in the form of a fouth wall break and song-&-dance routine, the Muppets go on a world tour! But one problem.....Constantine, the world's most dangerous frog and Kermit's own Shadow the Hedgehog, is on the lose and takes the place of Jim Henson's amphibian while Kermit is mistaken and thrown in the Gulag. Now, the presentation is great but there is one teeny-tiny flaw: the whole "everyone mistakes evil double for the real deal while said real deal is in big trouble" has been done before. One of the only other things I saw do this was Sonic X, and the Muppets could see it was Kermit with a weird voice unlike the colorblind humans who could see a blue hedgehog in place of one who stole a Chaos Emerald.

The songs on the other hand are awesome! My favorites would be "We're Doing a Sequel", "I'm Number One", and "Welcome to the Big House." The first one has a peppy and welcoming feel after like what, three years since the first one? Also, Gonzo mentions Toy Story 4 at one point. I'm Number One is really wild and catchy for my taste while Big House has a jazzy feel for the gloomy Iron Bars Hotel where you'll probably be locked up for a while.

I got no time to speak of the characters since it's already nine at night so I'll give a quick recommendation. For those who saw the first film, is a diehard or regular fan of the Muppets, wanted the final two seasons of The Muppet Show on DVD or just loves a world tour film then go see it. And now the rating, I'd give it an 8/10. It may not hold up as well as the first film, but it's still great.

Statler: Y'know, I've got a great idea for a third film.
Waldorf: Easy, a film about not making a film!
Both: DOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!

Vive La Resis....I mean Viva Las Vegas

My dad is currently in Las Vegas on yet another business trip. He's there for the National Association of Broadcasters or as I would call it, the NAB. An interesting thing I would like to see in LV would be the casinos, you could just waste your money so you can get more money! I really hope he would get me a souvenir, maybe a snowglobe.

I've been playing poker with a bloodthirsty lagomorph with psychic powers, an email-checking wrestleman, a sandvich loving weapons guy, an arcade owner from a webcomic, a former bodyguard, a wise-cracking robot, a time traveling boomstick-wielder and a shoeless canine crime-fighter and sort of became an expert. If I were in a casino, I'd pretty much be a poker champ.

Well as they always say, th th th th th th th that's all folks!

Happy Birthday!

This one is for my grandma, who is also my mom's mom. Happy birthday and I won't giver her age for the sake of discretion. Grandma was born in Ironwood, Michigan as the oldest of four sisters. She was married to my first grandpa and had my mom and my Uncle Sean.

She volunteers at Misericordia, likes politics, the news and me & Jack. Sometimes, me and Jack stay at my grandma's condo while Mom and Dad are at something. We would watch TV while she gets us Culver's. I used to sleep in the small couch while Jack slept on the bigger one. Since I'm growing, I got to sleep on Uncle Sean's bed. When Grandma comes over, she usually hangs out with us, but mostly talks with Mom about what to wear.

I sort of fondly remember her old place before she moved. It had the same computer as her new place, had a big door leading to a TV room and that's all I could remember.

Happy birthday Grandma, we love you!

Attack of the SCRITCH

My dad grew a beard this winter. Mom says he used to grow a beard every winter, but stopped for a while. Let me tell you, that beard has GOT TO GO. For the safety of cheeks and small children everywhere!

Dad likes to terrorize me by grabbing me and scritching my face and head with his beard! Today he threatened to rub it on my eyes. I could have been blinded. I told him that the beard should be shaved alive until nothing was left. No more of this scritchy beard tyranny!

Mom says that the next person to grow a beard will be Jack. What will I do then? I'm either going to have to go into hiding, or just give up! I think I need an old time hockey mask or maybe a Power Ranger mask to protect myself!

Spring?

Today's temperature was 65 degrees. It was wonderful! Sadly, tomorrow is supposed to be 40s and rainy. At least rain means spring anyway. It also means mud and dirty shoes which I am fondly sick of. I am happy to see spring after a 2000 year polar vortex.

After all these months of unstoppable snowfalls, freezing temperatures and hard-to-see stuff, I am glad to see spring has finally come. It's like a coup formed by Jack Frost just to play tricks on people and it was up to a team of spring-loving freedom fighters to put an end to it.

The Nutsos that are the 80s

The Karate Kid Part 2 was on the Hub Network and boy was it stupid! There was this bad guy who you can tell was a bad guy by his slicked hair and dumb ponytail, some cheesy lines and this scene where some jerk breaks a special tree for some reason that wasn't explained to me. The only Karate Kid movie I've seen was the reboot with Jaden Smith, Jackie Chan and Chinese SpongeBob.

That's my gripe with some movies in the 80s, they're so corny! With the likes of the Don Bluth 80s fims, E.T, Tim Burton's Batman and the Breakfast Club being so successful, it means they didn't take being cheesyness seriously. Yes, NIMH and Batman was pretty dark, E.T was a tale of friendship and Breakfast Club was a teen movie, but at least they didn't end up being like KK2.

Miyamoto High secondary characters

Please note that these characters are from an idea of mine.

Principal Andrew Ross, based off of Andross. The origin-of-species obsessed principal of Miyamoto High. He believes that humans come from sperm in the ocean and then evolve into simians.

Superintendent Garrett Dorf, based off of Ganondorf. The tyrannical millionaire superintendent of Miyamoto High who uses fundraisers to get more money for his gold pool.

Mr. Duckman, based off of Scrooge McDuck. The janitor who is often seen giving advice to troubled students.

Dr. Wink Lyman, based off of Dr. Wily. The hyper-intelligent science teacher who claimed to be a college professor at Pong University. His lectures can last often from 10-20 minutes.

Sergeant Sean "Soldier" Danmore, based off of the Soldier. The military-like gym teacher who is rumored to a mighty fighter from World War II.

Writer's Block

I have an extreme case of writer's block. So to try and cure it, I'd like to explain a few ideas that have been locked in my brain for a while.

The first idea I have is a cartoon based off of Nintendo's Star Fox. Ever since The Super Mario Bros Super Show, Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda, there was only one surviving cartoon based off a Nintendo franchise and that was Pokemon. Given that we haven't seen our furry final frontiersman since Star Fox 64 3D, I'd think a cartoon ougtha kick it up a notch. For a sci-fi epic starring funny animal characters, it'll make the right blend of space adventure and cartoon slapstick. Here's the cast of actors I would have for the characters.

  • Jason Biggs as Fox McCloud
  • Dante Basco as Falco Lombardi
  • Billy West as Slippy Toad
  • Tabitha St. Germain as Krystal
  • Jim Cummings as Peppy Hare
  • Ashleigh Ball as Miyu
  • Hynden Welch as Fay
  • Steve Blum as ROB 64
  • Maurice LaMarche as Wolf O'Donnell
  • Steve Buscemi as Leon Powlaski
  • Mark Hamill as Andrew Oikonny
  • Antonio Banderas as Panther Caroso
  • Patrick Stewart as General Pepper
  • Danny DeVito as Beltino Toad
  • S. Scott Bullock as Pigma Dengar
Another idea I have is Miyamoto High, the coming of age tale of eleven friends based off of video game characters in high school. The main characters are as followed:

Larry Inkus, based off of Link. An expert athlete and an adventurous fellow, Larry will stop at nothing but to enjoy life.

Parry Charles Manning, based off of Pac-Man. Larry's best friend who loves him some food, specifically berries.

Samantha Ron, based off of Samus Aran. An independent and intelligent lass who is Larry's primary love interest.

Sonny Issacs, based off of Sonic the Hedgehog. The school jock and a member of Larry's gang. He may be arrogant, but he cares for his friends.

Rocky "Mega" Manning, based off of Mega Man. Parry's younger brother who has an interest in robots.

Clayton Loudman, based off of Cloud. A lone wolf who relies on his cardboard sword, which he names Buster, for defense.

Marcus Ion, based off of Mario. A brave but sometimes impulsive guy who is a member of the drama club and always participates in school plays, especially ones with dragons and princesses.

Sylvester Cooper, based off of Sly Cooper. A thieving man who is often seen dealing his treasures to other people at recess.

Keenan Bart Ivry, based off of Kirby. The gang's cutie pie who has a lot in common with Parry.

Spike Yolande, based off of Spyro the Dragon. The son of a firefighter who's friends with Carl Bandson.

Carl Bandson, based off of Crash Bandicoot. Spike's eco-geek best friend who loves smashing crates.

Well, I think I'm cured so see you next time.

That New Chair Smell

My dad recently got a new chair while his trademark one of old will be placed in the office. It was delivered on Saturday from the same company as the old one, La-Z Boy. The old chair actually belonged to Dad's grandpa before it was passed down to the latter. I spent part of the whole Sunday playing Kingdom Hearts 2 on the new chair, pulverizing the likes of Captain Barbossa in Port Royal, the Volcanic and Blizzard Lords in Agrabah, Oogie Boogie in Christmas Town, Scar in the Pride Lands, that army of Nobodies during the return trip to Twilight Town until finally stopping in Space Paranoids.

I have to say, KH2 is my favorite game in the series because of the memorable bosses, wide selection of worlds including the Land of Dragons & Beast's Castle and I also completed two of the songs in Atlantica and returned two Torn Pages to my favorite world in Kingdom Hearts, the Hundred Acre Wood. I'm starting to get better at the game by massacring some impossible bosses like Halloween Town's Prison Keeper, the Hyenas and said Nobody army in Twilight Town. All it took for the last two I mentioned was the Circle of Life Keyblade that I received after talking to Simba in the Oasis.

But I'm wasting time here. See ya!

March Madness

There are four different basketball games going on in March because like the Super Bowl in February, the heyday of basketball is March Madness. On the channel I'm watching, NC State is creaming St Louis 12 to 5. On CBS, Texas has 7 while Arizona State has 11. On TBS, St Joe has 10 while UCONN has 7. On truTV, 12 to 5 again this time with North Dakota State against Oklahoma. And finally on NCAA, Oregon beats BYU 87 to 68. Another thing is that American University lost to University of Wisconsin 35 to 75.

University of Dayton won against Ohio State this afternoon which was apparently a big deal.

This is getting really confusing as there are many games playing and I can't keep track. So please someone tell me who won when this is done.

Good Grief!

Today, the teaser trailer for the upcoming big screen adaptation based of my favorite comic strip Peanuts has been released. It will be created by Blue Sky Studios who also made the Ice Age movies, Rio and Epic as a CGI animated film with a modern 2D look. The trailer starts with Snoopy goofing off while Charlie Brown tries to say something about the movie, eventually with our favorite blockhead facepalming and Snoopy giving him a hug. I gotta say, out of all the animated films for 2015 like Ratchet and Clank, SpongeBob Squarepants 2 and Sony Pictures Animation's Popeye, I'm really excited for this. Not only will it not be updated for a modern audience, it will be written by Sparky Schulz's son Craig and grandson Bryan. It will be released November 6 next year coinciding with the 65th anniverseray of the comic strip and the 50th anniverseray of A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Here is the link to the video I found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1FNL_iIp5c. Another thing I would like to say is that Snoopy's collar is merchandising red, instead of usual black like in the TV specials and comics. Hopefully they won't shoehorn MetLife in.

St Patrick's Day

First of all, I want to give a shout out to my Uncle John.  He gets annoyed when his nieces and nephews don't talk to him.  I'll always talk to Uncle John, unless he's tickling me. Then I'll just try to escape.

We didn't have corned beef and cabbage tonight. Mom had yoga, so she didn't want to cook. She made corned beef and cabbage on Saturday night, and Grandma came over for dinner. I didn't have corned beef because it's gross. I had pancakes. I also don't like mashed potatoes or cabbage, so I had an apple.

Right now, Dad is watching Superman II, which was made in 1980. This explains the ridiculous special effects. "Kneel before Zod!!" Ha ha. Best line in the movie. Why are they showing Superman II on St Patrick's Day? The only connection I can come up with is that kryptonite is green? I don't know. I think it would make more sense if they showed that Green Lantern movie starring Ryan Reynolds on St. Patrick's Day.

A Happy Place

I've been working on calming down when I get upset. I'm supposed to practice visualizing a happy place when I start to have a meltdown.  The happy place can change depending on what I like at that time.

Right now, my happy place would be --

in my favorite man cave, with all my favorite books, dvds and things,
filled with delicious cheeseburgers and Reese's ice cream sandwiches,
smell like freshly popped movie popcorn,
all my stuffed animal guys would be there,
it would sound like waves of Lake Michigan, with a side of people eating cheeseburgers.

Now I'm thinking so much about cheeseburgers that my mom looks like a cheeseburger. I wonder what she'd think if I took a bite out of her arm?

I tried it, she just looked at me funny.

Sick of Snow

This weather has been going on forever, I want spring now! Not only do I constantly get my socks wet, but I also once stepped in slush causing both my sock and shoe to be soaked.

I think this snow started back in November last year, when it started getting really cold and there were a ton of blizzards and snowmageddons. It was the perfect time for snowmen, snowball fights, snow angels and much more. I once tried a snow angel once let's say January, I even got trapped in my own creation and couldn't get up without burying my hands. So Dad had to go and free me, after taking a picture first.

It's already March and it's getting repetitive. If this continues on, we might never get summer, the most wonderful season of the year. Might as well open Davey Jones' Locker and maybe the passed pirates can convince Mother Nature and God to stop this.

Can't Wait!

I am highly anticipating Dreamworks Animation's latest feature film Mr. Peabody and Sherman, based on Ted Key's Peabody's Improbable History segments from The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show. Speaking of moose and squirrel, before the movie would begin, there would be an animated short starring the duo with June Foray reprising her role as Rocky and famous TV actor Tom Kenny who is most known for being Spongebob as Bullwinkle. It'll be a possible test for a feature film starring them.

In the voice acting, Ty Burrell who will also play Jean Pierre Napoleon in another March flick Muppets Most Wanted will be voicing the first half of our title characters Mr. Peabody. Fun fact is that Robert Downey Jr., or who may know in the cinemas as Iron Man was supposed to play this intelligent Man's Best Friend but was replaced by Burrell in early 2012. Max Charles who played young Peter Parker in The Amazing Spiderman will play his adopted son Sherman. Ariel Winter, most known on television as Alex Dunphy in Modern Family, Marina the Mermaid from Jake and the Neverland Pirates and Sofia the First in...well Sofia the First will play Penny, Sherman's classmate who travels with the genius mutt/male youngling duo through time in the movie.

Y'know there are a lot of voice actors I know in this such as Patrick Warburton, who is best known as Joe from Family Guy and a wabillion others, Mel Brooks who directed my favorite of his movies Spaceballs, Zach Callison who also plays the title character in Cartoon Network's Steven Universe, everyone's favorite political talkshow host Stephen Colbert and much more.

Overall, I'm excited for this one. Maybe even more than The Lego Movie. Speaking of movies about building stuff, Bugs Bunny be making a Minecraft movie! So get ready fanbase. Plus, I heard there's going to be a Postman Pat movie featuring the Tenth Doctor and Ron Weasly.

Fox News says what?

Fox News says the Lego Movie is bad for kids because it is anti-business.

http://www.geekosystem.com/fox-news-hates-lego/

They said the same thing about The Muppets and The Lorax. Is there any movie that Fox won't attack?

I think this is ridiculous. The Lego Movie is set up as a story within a story. There is the Lego story of the evil Lord Business trying to crazy glue all of legoland together to keep everything in place and tidy, and there is the frame story of the kid playing with his dad's legos. The kid wants to be creative and the dad wants everything to be in place.

Isn't that the point of creativity? Making news things and breaking some rules? Steve Jobs was one of the greatest business men ever, and he did it by being creative and breaking rules.

I don't know what grown ups want sometimes. When you are a kid and are in school, it's all "obey the rules! Don't color outside the lines!" But then you look at the rest of the world and it's all "think outside the box! Be creative!" Even John McCain was supposed to be a "maverick." Yuck. So confusing.

Also, if the Lego Movie is anti-business, but the Lego Corp is a giant business -- pretty ironic, right?

Miserable Mondays

Mondays are miserable. Going back to school after the weekend is HARD. It's not just hard, it's ABYSMAL.

These are the bad things from today:

My mom says I'm being whiny
I didn't have my math homework
Dad is spending a week in Los Angeles
It's going to be cold this week
The American mens hockey team didn't get an Olympic medal
Canada is a bunch of glory hogs
People keep calling Chicago Chiberia and I find that annoying

Mom asked me if there were any good things from today, but I said NOTHING. Everything is irredeemable.

OKay, minorly good things --

sunshine
Lou Malnati's pizza for dinner.

SIIIICK

Well then, when I went to bed last night I had a scratchy throat, a schnoogy nose, and my forehead hurt.  This morning, my forehead still hurt and my throat was still scratchy. I'm thinking -- A COLD.

Today was mom and dad's anniversary of their wedding. Mom made Italian beef for dinner and then we got Culver's ice cream sundaes for dessert. I had a hot fudge sundae with Reese's peanut butter cups on top. Yum.

Mom says I seem recovered enough that it is back to school for me tomorrow. My response is "meh." I hope I can survive this week.

Ed Debevic's Review

Last night, me and Mom and Dad and Jack went downtown to dinner at a restaurant called Ed Debevic's.  Mom wanted to go there because it was where she and Dad had their first date, 26 years ago yesterday. Though they went to Ed Debevic's that was in Deerfield. That one is closed, so we had to go downtown. I was not thrilled about going, but mom told us all to humor her.

Ed Debevic's was good, but VERY LOUD. The music was super loud, and twice while we were there, the music got LOUDER and the waitresses got up and danced on the counter. That was kind of funny. They danced to YMCA -- it was okay. That rhymes "they were okay, YMCA!" I even made up a little tune for that. Too bad you can't hear me singing.

I ordered a cheeseburger. It was good, but it took FOREVER for the food to get out to us. For dessert we all had one of the "World's Smallest Hot Fudge Sundae." It was a teeny little sundae in a teeny little glass. We got to take the glasses home.

The waitress kept calling us jerks. Are we jerks? Maybe in a good way? Mom says that is the Ed's gimmick. The waitresses are fake mean.

I am glad Mom and Dad ate at Ed's 26 years ago because they got married and had me and Jack. However, I didn't appreciate all the hugging and kissing that was going on.  I made fake throw up noises, but they just rolled their eyes.

My top 10 most wanted characters for Super Smash Bros for Wii U/3DS

With such fan-favorite characters made into fighters like Little Mac and Rosalina, we gotta get what we want sometimes, right? Well, that will happen today as I list my top 10 most wanted characters for Super Smash Bros Wii U/3DS. Mr. Sakurai, this is for you. Now let's get started, yaaaaaay!

10. Dr. Eggman
Trust me when I say this, these games need more villains. And who better to turn to than the one and only Dr. Eggman Julian Ivo Robotnik (that's what I like to call him). He could have a moveset that's a variety of other characters like Zero Suit Samus' laser gun, Villager's bomb and many others. And what would his Final Smash be? I'd say the old favorite Death Egg Robot. Well, let's see what my other 9 picks have in store.

9. Waddle Dee
Say what you will about this guy. "What? A basic Kirby enemy in Smash Bros? He could easily be an assist trophy!" Well to that I say heck yes! The playable character, not the assist trophy. People can remember his role in Kirby's Return to Dreamland as another playable character alongside fellow Smashers Kirby, Dedede and Meta Knight. Well, we'll just have to wait and see.

8. Mickey and Oswald
That's right, the brotherly mascots of Disney themselves might be line to appear. Now the reason it isn't higher even though Epic Mickey and several other Mickey Mouse games were released on Nintendo consoles, Disney can be pretty grumpy when it comes to licensing. I mean, they got Bowser in Wreck-It Ralph, but no sign of Jumpman himself! Speaking of which............

7. Wreck-It Ralph
He's a video game character. He's got giant fisticuffs that would fit into fighting games, but like I said before Disney can get mad when it comes to licensing. Well, best get on with it.

6. Waluigi
The reason why Waluigi is on this list is for completion. We can't have Mario without Luigi, Sonic without Tails, Donkey Kong without Diddy Kong or Mega Man without Rush and Roll. In fact, there was supposed to be a warui Peach in Waluigi's debut game Mario Tennis, but that got scrapped immediately. Anyway, on with the list!

5. Bowser Jr and the Koopalings
Oh yeah! These turtle twerps have to be in the next Smash Bros! The reason why they aren't seperate is because of Papa Bowser.....or would be Papa Bowser if Nintendo said they weren't his kids. I wonder where they came from......oh well. With these brats making their Grand Prix debut in the upcoming Mario Kart 8, we'll probably hope for the best.

4. Proto Man
Just like how Luigi is Mario's bro, DLN0 here is the first robot created by Dr. Light and Wily before Wily would betray his colleague, steal and reprogram his robots and try to take over the world! Luckily, I think Proto Man would be a Mega Man clone with a few tweaks such as his shield.

3. Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong
With Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze coming out, these two apes are just a one-hit kill into the ring. I'll also give King K. Rool an honorable mention here because hey, villains.

2. Ridley
Now I know what you're thinking, he's too stinking big to fight. Well, if Nintendo resized him like Bowser, then you can stop complaining. This guy is one of my all-time favorite video game bad guys despite never playing any of the Metroid games.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for!

1. Krystal
What? Smash needed more Star Fox characters that WEREN'T clones!

Now for some honorable mentions before I go.

Zoroark, Ghiriham, Ninja Turtles, the Simpsons, Kalos Trainer and Wonder Red. See ya!

Lego Movie Review

I am going to try to make this review SPOILER FREE!

I enjoyed the Lego Movie a lot. Now that that's out of the way, let's see if it is awesome as it was advertised or as bad as losing an important piece of a Lego set.

First off, the story. Critics and people say that it's the most imaginative (no pun intended) film since Toy Story. For me, I'd have to agree. Although the whole "zero to hero" thing has been done a few times with the only other animated feature I've seen doing that was Disney's Hercules, WB, Village Roadshow and the guys behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, take it to a whole new level!
In all the different places that our heroes go to such as the Old West and Cloud Cuckoo Land, each have a different story to them. I won't give anything away but they are really enjoyable and just make you wanna go back there, like the Fix-It Felix game from Wreck-It Ralph or Destiny Islands from Kingdom Hearts. Overall, the story is very well done, even for a Lego movie, in which you can make your own settings, characters and adventures.

Next, the animation. It is very original, innovative and good. For example, Bricksburg, home to our main character Emmet gives us a mix of New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco with a lot of different buildings and even some of the people living there have their own charm. The Old West seems to be reminiscent of many western movies such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Blazing Saddles and The Lone Ranger, which I might give it a watch because it's Johnny Depp. Cloud Cuckoo Land is very colorful and reminds people of many little girl cartoons with its cutesy architecture and weird people. The rest I don't have time to explain like the Octan Tower.

The characters are very likable and colorful. First there's Emmet, an ordinary guy who lives his life following the instructions. Like many other nobodies in film, he has his own charm which makes him a good character to root for.
Wyldstyle or Lucy before the film was even released, a tech-savvy fighter Master Builder is a good love interest for both Emmet and Batman. Speaking of which.........
I think the reason why everyone thinks this film is well "awesome" because of the various cameos, most notably the Dark Knight himself, Batman. Like I said, he's Wyldstyle's boyfriend throughout most of the film until the end, which I won't give away because what I said earlier.
Vitruvius doesn't seem that important other than progressing the story and spouting out the prophecy a few times. Although Morgan Freeman does a good job.
Unikitty is my favorite character in this because of her cuteness. She just makes me......HNNGH!
Benny, being a mini fig from the 80s have extreme knowledge on 80s technology which makes him a great comic relief.
Metalbeard is the coolest out of all the main characters because of his design and backstory. Besides, he's a pirate and pirates are awesome.
Finally, Lord President Business who makes a great Lego bad guy to be along the likes of Lord Garmadon and the Brickster. He also seems to be a fan of tacos since his evil plot in the film centers around Taco Tuesday.

Overall, the film is just awesome! The story is fantastic, the animation is extraordinary and the characters are just lovable. I would've had time to explain Bad/Good Cop but hey, you can't waste time on a review. My favorite scene would have to be Emmet's life in Bricksburg, I mean I would love to watch a show about pants jokes. Anyway, my recommendations: Lego fan or not, this film is just awesome!

Mental breakdown commence

I CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT ANYMORE! WHY DOES EVERYONE FIND A WAY TO MAKE ME EXTREMELY MISERABLE UP TO THE POINT OF ME HAVING A MELTDOWN JUST SO THEY CAN LOOK AND LAUGH!?

I....just don't want to go to school anymore. It's the same thing everyday. Wake up, go to school, be  hated by all, go home, cry my sorrows out, rinse and repeat. Be advised that this was supposed to be a review of The Lego Movie but I thought I don't have any time so it's on hold until further notice. I mean, what's the point of sharing your thoughts anyway? If you have a dad who thought South Park, Aqua Team Hunger Force or Robot Chicken is good for kids just because they either have other kids in it, anthropomorphic fast food products or parodies things you like, then just forget about it.

Just let me have peace right now. Also, there's another thing I'd like to rant about: children's television from Japan. For example, the banned Pokemon episodes specifically Secret of Dratini and Holiday Hi-Jynx. Dratini for example, had GUNS! Not bazookas, laser blasters or anything cartoony and weaponized, just normal handguns. Y'know, for kids!  Thankfully, as of the Virtual Console release of Pokemon Snap, Jynx is now permanetly colored purple and her lips were smaller. And then there are some moments in a favorite show of mine, Sonic X, where our title character would curse.....complete with subtitles! Even in front of a 6 year old little girl wabbit for crying out loud. Because kids love them some Pocket Monsters and blue hedgehogs in Santa colored running shoes swearin' like the kids after seeing the first Henson Ninja Turtles movie.

If you'll excuse me, I'm gonna watch me some Olympic ice skating.

Thursday, February 6, 2014

Olympics!

The winter Olympics started on TV tonight. The Olympics are taking place in a town called Sochi, Russia. Sochi is actually a seaside resort town and they had to bring in snow machines from Finland to make winter conditions for the Olympics. I want to go someplace warm. Why can't we go to Sochi?

Mom says she has read about too many problems in Sochi. She said she's seen pictures of brown water coming out of the faucets. Hotels have no lobbies and no curtains. And you can't flush your toilet paper. Ew!

We are watching the skating team competition right now. The Russian got a great score, the American got a BAD score, and the Canadian got a good score. The poor American skater guy cried because he felt bad about his score. He lost for America! I wish America good luck in the rest of the events.

Polar Madness!

I think this horrible weather caused by the polar vortex has led to polar madness!

It is so cold all the time, and gray and gloomy.
The car is dirty, covered in salt and snow.
Indoor recess!
One time, there was soot from the stove flying everywhere!

(Mom says -- where did the soot come from? I don't think you have a stove at school.)

The soot is for atmosphere!

The weather seems like something out of the Metal Gear games or the China level in the first Sly Cooper game. In other words, MENACING.

We're supposed to get more snow over the weekend. HORROR. (Though I do like snow.)
My windowsill is padded with blankets just to keep me warm.
And I can't sleep in the basement because it is too cold down there!
The roads are slippy and sloppy.

The only good thing about this polar madness is that there's no history-eraser button involved. (hat tip, Ren & Stimpy!)

(Please read the preceding post in a CREEPY British accent!)

Whoa

My post from yesterday got 124 page views! Woo Hoo!

Today was a bad day:

it was cold
I had to go to school
all my bones hurt
I was woozy
I was cranky
politeness was lacking
Mr. Johnson yelled at me for no reason
mom wouldn't let me stay home
my lips are dry
my backpack was too heavy
I was under pressure
we're trapped in a polar prison

Mom says it is just the midwinter blues and I'll feel better with some sunshine. She says we will go see The Nut Job this weekend and see if that puts me in a better mood.

Mom says my list is like a poem. And Jack just started reciting some poem called "Charge of the Light Brigade" which sounds pretty gruesome. But everything is gruesome right now.

SOTU

State of the Union:

I'm joining the State of the Union in progress because me and Mom had to pick up Jack at Driver's Ed and stop at the grocery store and we just got home.

Obama and Biden are wearing blue ties and Boehner is wearing light green. I feel like that is a big departure for him. He should be wearing red.

I always wonder if this address would take less time if people would hold all applause until the end.

Obama is talking about energy. He likes solar energy. He doesn't want t give money to fossil fuel industries that don't need money. Sounds right -- if they don't NEED the money, why do they get it? We are studying renewable and non renewable energy in science class.

Uh oh. He's talking about climate change. There are a lot of people who don't believe in climate change, but Obama says it is a FACT.

YES WE DID.

standing ovation for fixing the broken immigration system!

Boehner is not wearing a flag pin. He also looks like he's going to fall asleep. And he's not applauding.  Our tv makes him look very orangey-red.

Jack is calling Boehner bad names. "He brings me to great anger!" Jack says.

Mom asked if I would like to go to the SOTU address. I don't think so. It would be too loud with all that clapping all the time.

Tomorrow's workforce -- that's me and Jack. Jack says "the world is doomed."

Boehner looks crabby. I guess reddish-orange isn't his color.

Obama is talking about how great math is. I bet that's because he doesn't have to do math homework.

"High quality early education" -- even Boehner clapped for that. Jack says "even Boehner approves of pre-school."

Hey -- did you know that Apple once teamed up with Bandai to make a video game console called Pippin? It failed.

Michelle Obama is sitting in the balcony. It took the camera a minute to find her.

I give a thumbs down to women making less money than men!

Ha ha -- he referenced Mad Men! Obama thinks that when women succeed, America succeeds. And the crowd goes wild!

There are Minneapolis pizza makers in the audience. The dough guy now makes $10 per hour. I think I could make pizza dough for $10 per hour.

Give America a raise! I would like a raise! I have 2 3DSXL games I want to buy right now and I'm out of money. Mom says I have to do actual work to get a raise. Hey, I put away the silverware! And pick up the family room! And do Math homework! Mom says when I am old enough I can apply for a job at my favorite comic book store. (Aw Yeah Comics!)

Uh oh. He's going to talk about healthcare! People are going to be mad! This woman had a sharp pain and then had emergency surgery. I wonder what was wrong with her?

Boehner looks like we wants to read his email or check facebook on his phone.

Ha ha. Obama doesn't expect to convince his "Republican friends" on the merits of this law. But he says that if they have better ideas they should bring them up.

The governor of Kentucky is a Democrat??? Weird.

Ha ha. Mom and Jack are making jokes about signing each other up for Obamacare.

Aw! One American Family!

Joint Chiefs of Staff! Everyone clapped for the armed forces.

No more troops in Iraq. Some troops in Afghanistan. Wow -- is this really America's longest war? That's surprising. Mom asked Jack about "unified Afghanistan." Jack said "there's not much to say about Unified Afghanistan. It doesn't exist." Jack thinks Obama is too idealistic about the idea of a unified Afghanistan.

Obama says constant vigilance! He's like Mad-Eye Moody from Harry Potter!

Biden and Boehner have their heads tilted the same way!

John McCain looks somewhat amused.

Standing applause for Israel!

We do NOT want Iran to have nuclear weapons. Jack says "radiation is bad for the soul."

random claps.

He VETO a bad sanctions bill!

How can we even stop Iran from building nuclear bombs? If they really want to build them, won't they just build them? Just because they tell us they are not building bombs doesn't mean they can't lie about it.

Obama thinks Team USA will win gold in the Olympics!

Obama thinks the US is awesome and everyone looks to us. Is this true? Do people in other countries look to us, or do they think we're stupid?

Obama is talking about a soldier who got injured in Afghanistan on his 10th deployment! He got shrapnel in his brain and had to have lots of surgery and learn to do things again, like speak and stand and walk. I hope the army gives him a really good job when he gets better. He got a standing applause. People are crying.

Is this done yet? I'm tired. Though Jack says I'd be more tired if I was giving the speech. Good thing I don't want to be president!

Obama says we all have to work together. "With our feet planted firmly in today, but our eyes cast toward tomorrow." (or something like that)

Now he is shaking hands with people and the reporter is talking. Bob Schiffer says is was a "can-do" speech.

I'm done here. I still have a couple of math problems to do. Those fractions won't compare themselves. If fractions can compare themselves.
