space junk
I read an article about space junk. Actually 2 articles.
The first 1 was the space junk clean up 1 and it told me about how space junk is bad. It's bad because it's just going to continue to grow. The article also said that after 2055 the space junk will increase.
The second 1 told me about how much space junk there is. The oldest known space junk is the Vangaurd 1. It was in space from 1958. That's a long time. Both of the articles said space junk is a problem.
space junk
I read 2 articles about Space Junk. I hope we can stop it from increasing. The first article I read was about cleaning up the space junk. I liked what they thought would help astronauts. My second article was the big problem the space junk is causing. I thought it was good.
Don't you hate space Junk? I do. Let's get rid of it. The cleaning up article won in my opinion.
My cast
I hate my cast. It is very uncomfortable because you can't scratch or play basketball with it on. It started at recess where I fell down on my arm, and I broke it. It ended my day.
I had to go to the hospital. They said it wasn't very bad, but still bad. I got to watch ESPN. When the hospital was done I went home. I didn't have a very good nights sleep. I think I missed school the day after I got my wrist helper thing. I went to school after the day I missed school, and had fun. After a time I got a blue thing on my wrist.
Now I'm where I'm at. On Wednesday I'm getting another blue thing on my wrist. I sure hope I don't get it. I want to play in the championship.
When I get the cast off I'll be happy. I've been in pain for awhile. I want the pain to go away.
Now that's why I hate my blue thing on my wrist.
Harlem Globetrotters
The start of the Globetrotters started in Chicago. The Globetrotters would only clown around if they established a safe lead. They were a serious, competitive team.
After they lost to the Washington Generals, they didn't lose for 38 years. In January 5,1971 they lost to the New Jersey Reds, who ended their winning streak. They also lost to an Austrian team, ending another hot winning streak.
Globetrotters went on a 1270 game winning streak until the Michigan State Spartans beat them. Also the UTEP Miners beat them. Ending their 288 game winning streak. Their most recent lost was to NABC All Stars. I think the games are real.
The 5 retired numbers are 13, 20, 36, 50, and 22.
That's the Harlem Globetrotters.
Book Report
I think I'm growing everyday to become a good reader. My first book was The Chronicles of Narnia. The Silver Chair. The Chronicles of Narnia are always adventure stories. My second book was Encyclopedia Brown. Encyclopedia Brown is a very good mystery book. Then I read Sixth Grade Can Kill You. Sixth Grade Can Kill You was a very boring adventure book. Then my last book in my reading list was Dragonhaven. I liked Dragonhaven because it was a very good adventure story.
I like adventure stories. My list says 3/4 of the books are adventure stories, and 1/4 mystery stories.
I learned from books: They can teach lessons and also are sometimes sad or happy. I like the lessons that books teach. I sometimes talk out loud when I'm reading a book. That's my sad or happy part.
I've learned that I'm a great reader. My best book this year was Bat 6. Second place goes to Dragonhaven. I liked Dragonhaven because it was about a kid who raised a dragon. I chose first place for Bat 6 because it had more of an adventure than Dragonhaven, and it made me talk out loud more. It also had Baseball. 1st place: Bat 6. 2nd place: Dragonhaven.
That's my BooK ReporT
North Texas University
I might go to North Texas University. North Texas because of the Mean Green bird logo. The Mean Green colors are green.
I might also go to Kansas State University. Home of the wildcats. The colors are purple. The university sports I'll play are football. On to blue.
My next college is Buffalo. Home of the bulls. I bet you can guess the school colors are blue. 3 more schools to go.
I'm not going to go to UAF. Why not because I think I won't like it there. I won't like it there because it's cold.
I'm not going to Florida University because it's to hot. I chose beige because the sand in the beaches are beige.
My final college or university I might go to Is Indiana. Indiana is home of the candle thingy. I chose red because the candy thingy logo has red on it.
I chose all of these universities or collages because of the logo.
Blending in
Like all disappearing acts this one is unique. It's unique because it's on the computer. Mr.Noon taught us how to change colors today. I like colors Changing colors is cool because it lets you use your creativity. You can also show the public your creations.
Bat 6 A novel
I'm reading a book called Bat 6. It's a good book. It's about Bear Creek's baseball team versing the Barlow Road's baseball team. They are going to verse each other on May 27th or 28th. Not in real life.
The favorite players are girls on both teams. They are Shazam or Shirley and Aki. I like Shazam because Shazam is a good baseball player. I like Aki because she's mysterious. She's a good baseball player because she can mostly hit home runs ( I think) and can field anything. Aki is mysterious because it doesn't talk about Aki that much in the book as in the other players.
The other players are Shadean, Tootie, Kate, Ellen, Daisy (Loose Lips), Little Peggy, Lorelei, Susannah, Vernell, Mrs. Porter, and Mr.Porter. That's the Bear Creek Ridge's baseball team. Aki is on it.
Here are is the Barlow Road team roster. Ila Mae, Audrey, Wink, Brita Marie, Alva, Darlene, Beautiful Hair Hallie, Manzanita, Lola, Lila, Mr.Rayfield, Dotty Rayfield, MVP 1940. Shazam is on the Barlow Road roster to.
I think Barlow Road will win. you should read this book. It's awesome.
Jupiter
I learned people are going to Jupiter. It will take like 5 years to get there and 1 year to orbit the planet 32 times. I thought that was amazing because Jupiter is far away and it is large. It was on the Constellation site. They're doing it because they want to find out how Jupiter was formed.
I bet they're tired of going to the moon.
You know what? I'm not going to be an astronaut when I grow up. Too dangerous. An Astronaut has to survive dangerous things. Which I'm too scared to do. Why? This is why. You could get killed, machines could not work right, and You are in space where no one can see you. Except your partners. I hate space.
The conclusion is if you try to make me an astronaut it's not going to work because I've listed the reasons why I don't want to be an astronaut.
5 minute countdown
Here is what happened today. I forgot my math homework at math. I felt really dumb. I wish I had a snack. I liked the P.E. Recess was cool. Lunch was great. S.S.R was when I finished a book. I read a chapter in Gilly Hopkins with Christian. I did a paper on Gilly Hopkins after. I typed on Tell The Raven. I listened to Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Quick rundown of the day in just 5 minutes.
The hardest game this week
We versed the bulls. It was a heated match. We were sweating and drinking water. The first quarter was a quick start for us and a quick start for the bulls. At the end it was like 8-4. I sat out half of it.
The second quarter was much better. We scored more points than all of the first quarter and at the end it was 22-19. We were getting slowed down by the bulls players. I was sweaty. I didn't play all of the quarter.
Halftime I shot around. I wish I could make the shots I make at halftime during the game. I made 10 or more shots at halftime but made none all the 1st half. The bulls had the size we had the scorers.
The third quarter was awesome. It was just like period 2. At the end of it it was like 31-26. I made no points. The people in the bleachers were saying,"Lets go Lakers or Bulls lets go" At the end I was happy because the next quarter was the last one.
This is the last quarter. An exciting game this was. At the start the Bulls were making shots and we weren't. Then it was 33-31. After the timeout we were making shots so were the Bulls. The score was then 38-36. I was thinking'"Will we win?" At the 1 minute mark it was 40-38. Then at the 30 second mark it was 42-39. Then at the 20 second mark it was 42-41. When the last quarter was 10 seconds away from ending the Bulls fouled #1 who made 1 free throw. So it was 43-41. 1 last foul sealed it for us. The bulls fouled Glenn. Glenn made both of the free throws which sealed it for us. I was telling all of the players'"We won!" They said'"Not yet" Then we did. It was 45-41. The challenging game for the Lakers so far. I made no points.
Rat Attack
Every 48 years a Strange Rat Attack happens in India. A huge number of Rats eat up The Bamboo fruit then the FARMERS RICE!!! I watched this on Nova. There is a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pulse of rats. A scientist used traps, butter, and cages to See how many Rats there were. The scientist dissected two rats. The Indian people need rice to survive the whole year. The type of rat is Black Rat. The farmers were racing against time to get there rice harvested before the rats attacked. Only one village won. All the others were filled with disappointment. Rats are supposed to be dumb. Looks like the Black Rats are not dumb enough. The scientist was saying,"I might only get to see this once." The most recent one was in 2007. If you hate the word "rats" don't read this.
Iceland land of raging fire and shuddering ice
The place where fire Rages and Ice shudders.
The land of burning fire and freezing ice (The good side of Iceland)
Do you hear the name of Iceland and think of ice? Everyone does, and they are all wrong. The toughest choice to consider why I say this is go to Iceland, but I got a simpler solution; listen to me. It does have ice (duh, with a name of Iceland of course it does) Here is the tough answer, it has fire too, not just in houses, but in the natural world, too.
Iceland has volcanoes (the fire), ice (the ice), icebergs, mountains, hot tubs.
Here is the report. Come visit Iceland it has red, white, and blue the true American colors (or colours). Red is for the stripes and fire. White is for the stripes and icebergs and icecaps (also ice). Finally blue. Blue is for the water and the place surrounding the white stars. The most exotic thing (my opinion) is the northern lights. A little sprinkle of green wavy lines.
Visit Iceland land of true colors ASAP!!
Magical, Awesome Magic Wand!
When I was thinking, "Wouldn't it be nice if we had a Hogwarts on the earth?" I found a wand at a park. When I got to school I made another school called Wanderdairy Magic School. Its caption thingy would say, "A special school for wanders and Wonderdairies." (Wanders are people holding wands.)
So I came in the school I made, but I was the last one there because everyone there arrives 10 minutes before 10:00. I was there at 10:00. The first lesson lasted 1 hour and it was wand basics. It was everyone's first day there. I used the wand to look at it. It was mostly about parts of the wand. I liked it about as much as it was boring.
The second thing was Wand Tricks. It lasted 2 hours. I liked it 100 percent of the time. I used the wand to color my skin and Move stuff. After that it was dairy time, lunchtime. I ate 2 baked potatoes, French fries, and a cheeseburger. I made the food appear out of thin air.
When lunch was over I had to take a wander test. I don't know what grade I got yet. It lasted 1 hour and 30 minutes. After the test part of the day, I had to read about the history of wands. I liked the lunch. The test was da da da dumb. The reading was good only because I like to read. It lasted 45 minutes.
This is the happy part of the day now because I got to play wand sports. I liked it 150 percent. It lasted 1 hour 15 minutes. The final subject was math. I liked it also. It lasted 1 hour 30 minutes.
"Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing." That was the bell ringing, telling us wand school is over.
Now I'm home doing wandwork. Can I have my bubble?
The things I did with my wand were; making food appear, Wand sports, work with my wand, and made a school.
That's my day at the Wanderdairy Wand School. Please join me next time at the wand place.
Time Warp Trio
I just watched a cartoon movie of the Time Warp Trio. I didn't like the ending of it. It was a weird ending. At the start it did a sneaky thing; it made us be on the edge of our seat. It was a good start. I gave it 2 thumbs up. I used to read the Time Warp Trio books.
I didn't know Sam was a girl. It was Sam's birthday when it started. Sam looked like a boy to compete in the Olympics. Sam fooled the judges in the Discus. Sam made the score be tied 2-2 in the Olympics. The final event was wrestling. Wrestling against the undefeated that is. In the movie Sam talked seriously with the ancient philosopher. Fred or Phil didn't. The philosopher helped Sam find his weakness. Sam was versing A tough wrestler that starts with "S". During the match the crowd found out Sam was a girl not a boy. They were going to die. So was Phil and Sam. Phil or Fred was in space. They were going to die because they waitress trapped them in the doorway of the restaurant. Sam and Phil or Fred was going to die because Sam was violating the rules.
The movie was about the Olympics.
Survivor Heros vs Villians
This was a great show. There were 10 people on the heroes tribe and 10 people on the villains tribe. At the start, the heroes won the reward challenge, and got fire. Fire represents energy and life. Then, after 20 minutes or so, the heroes and villains' tribe talked to each other about the upcoming immunity challenge.
The heroes got smoked by the villains. When it was time to vote someone on the hero's tribe, Sugar was it. Only the hero tribe could vote. If you get the immunity, people on your team are safe at tribal council.
It was a 2 hour show. The reward challenge was to dig up a bag and bring it back to your square. It was 1-0 then 1-1. After that, it was 2-1, villains' favor. Then 2-2. Then the heroes won it because they got 3 before the villains did. So it was 3-2, heroes win.
The immunity was a different story. The heroes built their boat and got the fire before the villains did. When it came to the puzzle, the heroes collapsed and were unable to do it before the villains' won the immunity challenge. Basically, there were 2 people doing the puzzle for the villains, who were working together.
India
When I get an airline ticket to anywhere, I will go to India because it sounds cool. When I go to India I will spend the first day in a hotel (the rest of the first day). I think India is cool because it has cool people, cars, pets, & drinks (also food).
The best part is the hotels. The hotels are nice, warm, and they have nice friendly service. When you eat the food you think it's the best food you ever tasted. When you taste the drinks you wonder does life ever get better than this?
The pets are super cute.
I heard that India is in poverty. When I get there I will help the kids in poverty.
When I grow up, I will travel in a nice Honda, Jeep, Mustang, or anything else that's nice.
The people are nice because they know how to deal with people.
I will also go to beaches on hot summer days. India, everyone should go to, because it has super cute pets, nice cars, yummy food, amazing drinks, and cozy hotels. Don't forget the beaches.
If you want to live in India that's not a bad choice because it's the second largest country. I will go to Calcutta.
Warcraft III ROC or Ft
Previously on Warcraft: Buyers market... You have to buy Warcraft first (either Roc or Ft). When you install it you can start to play it right away, or wait till later. If you want to play Battle.Net just click B.Net. B.Net is on the main menu. Some of the games on B.Net are Vampirism Cel,(a favorite for Warcraft players), Hero Wars, Run Kitty Run,& Wintermaul.
If you have the right internet settings you could host games. Beware though, Battle.Net could be very put-downish. One more thing on B.Net is clans.
Battle.Net and the campaign is what you could get hooked on. The races on Warcraft are Orc, Undead, Human, and my favorite Night Elf. The conclusion is if you play B.Net and the campaign it's very fun and time passing. Some people don't like it. Who knows you might or might not like it. Try it and see for yourself.
ROC: Reigh Of Chaos
Ft: Frozen throne. Frozen throne is the expansion pak
If you play Battle.Net you have to choose a gateway. If you live in New York choose the East one. If you live in Texas choose the south one. If you live in Alaska choose the west one. If you live anywhere other than the United States of America choose the classic Beta one.

Chinese Horoscopes
I learned from the Chinese horoscopes that I am a tiger. What are you? Find out http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/Stories/PeoplePlaces/Chinese-horoscopes
If you are something like a panther you are vicious. If you are a bunny you aren't vicious. Have fun with the experience and you are about to be engulfed.
Everything you expected from the museum
Today we went to the museum and looked at art. The museum was awesome!!!
At the start of my experience we saw 2D, 3D, and relief. After 15 minutes or so we looked at abstract and regular paintings. I liked the 2D, 3D, and relief center but all that mostly happened was we had to listen. All that happened in the abstract and regular center was I was looking at pictures. The third center was the outhouse center, and it was entertaining. It was entertaining because I got to touch all sorts of stuff. It's not a stinky outhouse, it's a art outhouse with car plates, shop signs, and all sorts of things on it. The final center was the listening center; it was good. It was good because at the start we had to look down at the ground. Which was 1 of my fears. After that was the listening room. Once the listening room and the final center was done we got ready to go back to school.
Basketball
I played basketball this week and won both games. The first game I won 25-20. The second game was nothing near the score of my first game. It was 37-12. A blowout. This is what happened...
I was nervous before the first game. After I was done with it i wasn't nervous, I was happy instead because I won. I couldn't believe I won. On won versing green 610. My team was facing black. 612. my second game was against black.
I really like Basketball. You should play it. Garrius does.
My University
I might go to North Texas University or Even Binghamton University. Why? Because of the football that's there. Well North Texas is the only football university in my story. North Texas and Binghamton have basketball.
My university subjects: Math, Geography or Social Studies, Writing, and Language.
My university stuff that's fun: Basketball or Football.
I guess I gotta wait. Until then I will keep on writing on Tell The Raven. When I'm in 7th grade I won't type that much on Tell The Raven.
My future book
This is my title for my book. Survival in the Colorado Desert. It's about people who were living in a house and have to go a year without food from the store. Do you think they can make it? It's a family of 5. The characters are Bob (the dad), Mary (the mom) Phil, Sam (brothers), and Jane (the little sister). Characters that appear less than the family are Gordan, Chan, Dan, and Sandra. Here's how it all began...
"Dad, my brother's bugging me again," said Sam.
"Then do something about it," said Dad.
Just then mom came home. Then mom said, "Bob I bought as much food as I could with $100."
That's great, honey," he said in a daydreaming voice.
Then Phil came into the kitchen. "Hey we are all in the kitchen That must mean it's dinnertime," said Bob.
"Oh brother," said Sam.
"That's right," said Phil.
"Do you know what day tomorrow is?" said Mary.
"No. What day is it tomorrow?" said Bob.
"It's our wedding day; remember?" said Mary.
"Oh I almost forgot," said dad. It will be our fifth year together.
"I can't believe it," said Bob.
"I can't believe you chose to live in a dry desert," said Phil in a stressed out voice.
Basketball Practice
On Saturday I went to basketball practice. I was nervous at first and at the end I was a little bit less nervous. It started when the parents had to do paper work. The only thing I had to do was sign my signature.
When I got on the basketball court I was shooting some baskets. I made and missed probably half and half. After that I had to do 2 layups before going to our next evaluation station. I made 1 and missed 1.
My next station was going around the three point line and during a free throw. I mostly made baskets there.
My next station was a 3 on 3 game. I blocked poorly and made baskets poorly there.
My last station was shooting more baskets. I did the running with the player with the ball first. Then second I had the ball, then shot and missed. I did the same thing as what I did the second time, and missed again. The fourth time I missed, but saw Garrius, Glenn, and 1 of their friends. Garrius made 1 before I missed on my 5th time. Glen also made it. So did the friends of theirs. I had to go when they said, "Line up." The total time was 30-45 minutes.
My Online Friendship
(This is about friendship with Littojet) This is how it all began. I got on Vampirism Cel by double-clicking on the words Vamps!!!!:). When it started I had to wait 2 minutes. After the 2 minutes I used the crystal Ball(The crystal ball helps vampires see peasants)and say Blues' base. Blues' base had 10 guard throwers that are automatic, 2 farms (Which get wood harvesters), 6 block towers (Which the vampire have to destroy.) There were 4 dark purple block towers 5s(Those are very good at defense.),and 2 red block tower 2s (Those are horrible at defense.) 4 orc burrows, and a peasant builder.( Which the vampires try to kill.)
Visit Elvesarenotfake.com
Won't you visit Elvesarenotfake.com? It's about how elves are such awesome warriors.
Really? I didn't know that. It even shows you real and fake elves. How cool is that? This is how I learned about this site. Elvesarenotfake told me, "Visit Elvesarenotfake.com." So I did and I liked it, but I didn't get to read it all because I'm at school.
World War 2
Me and my class read Number the Stars, and I thought it was interesting. I also read about the resistance. I thought the article was interesting, too, because I didn't know the Resistance helped a lot, until I read Number the Stars and the article.
Number the Stars was written by Lois Lowry. It started when Annemarie and Ellen were practicing running. When Kirsti said," Why didn't you wait for me?" 2 German army men stopped them.
You have to read the book to find out what happened. I will tell you a little. Nearly 7000 Jewish people went to Sweden. One fourth or less of the Jews got killed. The rest were so lucky because All the Jewish people didn't get killed. If you were a Jewish person you would want to go to Sweden too. If you were not a Jewish person you would be safe.
The Close Victory for the Colts and the Eagles News Flash *
The Colts won 35-34 over the Patriots. The Colts would have lost if Peyton Manning didn't throw a touchdown, but he did, and my Colts won. The Patriots were looking like they were going to win the game at the start of the 4th quarter, but they didn't because the Colts threw touchdowns when they needed them the most.
The Colts are very good because they are 9-0. That means they won nine and lost no games so far. I watched the touchdown that gave the Colts the win. I was very happy when the Colts won.
The remaining schedule for the Colts is Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, Denver Broncos, Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jets, and the Buffalo Bills.
The Eagles lost 31-23 to the Chargers of San Diego. The Eagles could have won if San Diego didn't try at all, but they did, and they deserved a win. The Chargers started doing good in the 1st quarter and ended good in the 4th quarter, and they won because Philadelphia just didn't score enough points.
Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles
Indiana is sooo cool because if you like speed racing you will like the Indy Five Hundred because it's in Indiana. If you like the Colts you will like Indiana. I like Indiana. The Colts are lightning bolts; they strike down on their opponents.
Philadelphia is soooo cool because if you like football you will like the Eagles. The Eagles are actually in Philadelphia. If you like the Phillies, you will like Philadelphia. I like Philadelphia. The Eagles are like beagles; they bark at their opponents and scare them, and that's how they win.
