What should I do this weekend? I was going to over to my friend's house but i'm not sure. I could go to the movies or go bowling. Bowling is fun, right? One thing I don't want to do is just hang out with my family. I like them and all but I do have a life. I think I'm going to go to my friend's house after all. I might even go to a movie, too. Well at least it sounds like a good idea. I might go to an Ice Dogs game. That would be cool. Thanks for helping me find something to do this weekend.

One time I was having a sleepover with my best friend, Emily. We went with her mom to the Bentley Mall. We went to many stores. I asked if we could go in to Foot Locker but she said, "Too bad I don't want to go I there."

I got really mad and said, "I don't care what you want. I'm going in there!"

So I stomped in there and she followed me and when we started looking at shoes she actually liked it. She said sorry so many times. But I said, "It's ok, we are best friends and best friends fight, but we will hopefully always be friends."

So we hugged and went back looking at clothes.

I think a really cool god is Poseidon. I think he's cool because he can control all water, fresh and salt. He was also the father of the hero, Thus. He was married to Amphitrite the daughter of a sea-nymph. But he is not always nice. In the story The Odyssey, Odysseus killed his son, so Poseidon tried to kill Odysseus.

The food item that I hate the most is a tomato. I hate it because it smells like dirt and it tastes like brussel sprouts mixed with prune juice. I also don't like it because it looks like a bloody head and really who likes to eat bloody heads. Tomatoes are really annoying because they're in almost in everything you eat. For example, spaghetti, salsa, some types of rice, chile, and lots more. I have even seen people just eat them plain. That is why I hate tomatoes.

I am learning about Greek mythology. The site I was on I found helpful so I'm going to tell you what it is. The site is The Olympians. It had all of the gods and goddesses. It was a really big help to find out ancient greek gods.

One time at my house the electricity went out. So me and my dad's girlfriend were playing Monopoly and all the lights went out. I thought, oh great! It is darker than a black hole in here. Then I had to go and open a drawer and grab a flashlight so we could see. It was not easy because it was dark, but it wasn't very far away. I stumbled over and I finally found it, but the only problem was I couldn't see. So I just put my hand in there and felt around hoping I wouldn't stab myself with a thumbtack.

Finally I found the flashlight and I thought, Thank you. Then I turned it on. But it started to get cold because it was like -20 degrees outside. We lighted a candle to get some light. After we lit the candle, the lights finally came back on, and I was like, Thank goodness. Then we went on with our game.

I have had many pets. One of them was a goldfish named Chucky. He lived for five years. Me and my brother fed him. He ate fish flakes.

Another pet I had was a dog named Lady. She was an energetic dog. When I was little she would love to run around the yard with me. But Lady did have a problem; she liked to run away. One time she ran away and never came back. We don't know if she got hit by a car or if someone took her, but she will always be awesome.

The last pet I had is a mastiff named Chief. He slobbers a lot! He loves food and sleeping, and he is a fat dog. I won't even tell you how much he weights. Now you have learned about my furry and scaly friends.

My winter break was very fun. For one, my birthday was during the break. I just had a family birthday. We played monopoly and our game lasted 2 and a half hours. Then we just called it a draw. Then on Christmas Eve we went to church. On Christmas I woke up at like 6 A.M and woke up my dad and brother at 7A.M. I got a gift card, a Nook tablet, a case for my Nook, a Barns and Noble gift card, a cover for my blanket, a screen protecter for my iPhone, and a new case for my iPhone. Then later that day I got to help cook Christmas dinner. After that we went over to my aunt and uncle's house and did our Christmas gift exchange. Then later we ate our Christmas dinner and watched Buddy the Elf. That is what I did over break.

I want to be the first person to comunicate with animals. It would be very challenging because we speak differently and you don't know if they will want to talk to you. Also you would need to make a potion or something so you can translate what they say into what you say.

I had a very very strange dream last night. So my dad worked at some place called The Paris and he started dancing. Then the restaurant turned half restaurant, half my uncle's house. Then my baby cousin started to bounce up and down clapping. Then my cousin's dog caught on fire. My older cousin was fast asleep and my cousin that was my age was yelling at my middle cousin because she hit him. That was my very strange dream.

I am reading a book called Guardians of Ga'hoole. It is a really good book. I would recommend this book to people who like adventure and fantasy. The book is about two owls who have been taken from their nest and were sent to St. Aegolius and they escaped.

One day they had meet an owl named Twilight, and he was captured a long time ago, but he escaped too. Then they decided that they were going to the great Ga'hoole tree. On their way they met another owl named Digger. Then they finally made it to the tree.

There, Soren meets an owl named Otulissa and she is a know-it-all. She thinks she will be picked for the navigation chaw but she was chosen for the colliering and weather chaw. Then there was a day where there was a fire and he had to go to it. Him and his class had to grab a burning coal. When he got back, Twilight and Digger were gone. Gylfie said that there was a bunch of owlets who were out of their nests and did not know where their nest was.

In Alaska the temperature can get really cold! Last week it got negative 32 degrees. We had to stay inside because it got so cold. When we go outside in the winter we have to put on snow pants, hat, gloves, winter coat, boots, and a scarf. Sometimes I even have to put on a face mask.

I love to go outside in the winter because I love to sled. I can go really fast. My favorite sledding hill to go down is the UAF hill. One time I almost hit a kid going down it. My brother did hit a kid going down it. The kid flipped and slammed down on the ground.

I have lived in Alaska my whole life so I am kind of used to it, but I still get really cold. I hear kids saying how cold it is at negative 3 degrees but I don't think it's that cold.

The book that I am reading right now is called Guardians of Ga'hoole. The book is about an owl who was pushed out of the nest by his brother. Then an owl swoops down and grabs him and he meets an owl named Gylfie. The owl takes them to St. Aegolius. That is a place were they take orphan owls.

Then soren meets his pit master and she is really nice to him. Then he has to learn how to sleep and he has to do a sleep march. He also has to go to a class that teaches him how to pick stuff out of pellets. Then him and Glyfie get locked up in a cage.

That is all I read about the book so far.

When I was younger I learned how to swim. It was hard at first but then it became fun. Well it became fun because when I learned how to swim I could go off the diving board.

After I learned how to swim I got on a swim team. Then when I was nine my relay team got second. It was so much fun.

Then I was on a field trip. I passed the test so I could go off the diving board. My friends dared me to go off the high dive and I did it and it was fun. I thanked my friend so much after that because if she did not dare me I wouldn't have gone off.

Once there was a little plump pumpkin that was as cute as could be. But since he was plump none of the other pumpkins liked him. That made him really sad. While all the other pumpkins got sold he just sat there.

One day a little boy looked through the bin and picked him up. When he got home he carved the pumpkin and set him outside. It was pitch black! When the boy shut the door the pumpkin started to hear creepy sounds like, "WHO WHO WHO." And, "BARK BARK."

The next day little kids and big kids started to walk up to the door and the lady gave them candy. The little boy dressed weirdly and went house to house asking for candy. He came back with a full sack of candy. Then all of the kids were gone. I was puzzled.

The little boy came outside and grabbed me. He took me inside and set me in his room. But later that night his mom came in and grabbed me. She took me into the kitchen and threw me in the trash can. I think she was in league with the other pumpkins.

My name is Bob and I'm here to tell you about my wonderfully crazy life.

I don't remember much about my dad dropping me but I heard the story. I was a little baby and my dad set me on the counter. Sadly the dishwasher door was open. I fell off the counter and I hit my head on the edge of the dishwasher door. Sounds painful doesn't it?

I remember the first time I went to Disneyland like it was yesterday. Me, my brother, my other brother, my mom, and my dad all went to Disneyland. The first ride I went on was the dumbo ride. Then me and my mom went on the tea cups. By the way that was my favorite ride. They tried to get me to go on one of the roller coasters but I didn't because I was only four. But I did go on the log ride and some others. Everyone but me and my mom were the only one's who didn't go on the roller coaster. But I had fun anyway.

My fifth birthday was not very fun because I was going somewhere and my mom closed my pinky finger in the door. Then I was coming inside from where we went to, and I stubbed my toe and I fell up the stairs. Then I went up stairs and changed. Then when I was coming down stairs I fell down the stairs. then only a few people showed up. That was the worst birthday ever.

I remember when I rode a horse for the first time. I was with my friend in Anchorage with her grandma. She had three horses. I rode her gentlest horse. It was so much fun. They taught me how to go up hill and down hill. After that me, my friend, and her grandma went on a ride. It was the most fun thing I had done all weekend.

Last Christmas was the best Christmas ever. Do you want to know why? It was the best because I got an iphone four. Besides that I got a case and $60 in itune cards. When I got it charged up I put on the case and started to download games the first thing I got was netflix. I also got angry bird. It was the most fun thing ever. That was only a few things that happened to me in my life.
