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.
