Comedy hour

Here are some funny Christian comedies by Tim Hawkins. This one is just in time for Christmas. The Christmas Puppy:



The next one is about Chick-fil-a.



This one is for all you homeschool families out there (Yes, I'm talking to you Spanns):



This one's important for all you husbands out there if you A) Want to stay alive B)Want to be happy with your wife and C) That all rhymed.



This one is about how major corporations may or will take modern/classic worship songs into their own commercial jingle.



This last one is a parody of Jesus Take the Wheel. It is called CLETUS TAKE THE REEL:



As a side note, the annual Christmas special post is in production. I guarantee you it will be the best by far. Do you want to know the name of it? OK, it is called Marley and the Three Spirits: A retelling of Charles' Dickens' classic tale A Christmas Carol from a different perspective.... I can't remember the rest of the summary in the title. It is not that necessary. It is a prequel/midquel thing. It centers around the untold stories of Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future. Scrooge will make a minor appearance and it revolves in a Christian atmosphere (I tried my best to. It's hard to.). Second of all, for a semi-disturbing Tim Hawkins video, search on YouTube: I Work at Subway-Tim Hawkins. Well, that pretty much wraps this up. Good Night!

Busch Gardens

INSANE!

Yesterday I went to Busch Gardens for the first time with some friends. It was one of the best theme parks I have ever went to. I rode some roller coasters and saw some animals. And now it's time for the first ever... Review Revue!

First of all, let's start with the so-called kiddy coaster in the park: Cheetah Chase. I'll start off by saying how can that be deemed a kiddy coaster? It is way too intense. But in retrospect, after you regain your breath and resort your limbs, it is pretty fun. Now let's go across the street to my personal favorite, SCORPION.

Now the catchphrase is "Feel the sting of the Scorpion," but personally I think the sting was next door. Scorpion is an extremely awesome ride and is great for families if they have kids that don't mind going upside down. Anyway, it is a great photo op if you have a skilled cameraman in your party. Also, it gets really close to the ground which is also a great thrill. The downside though is the length: 1 min. Very short, my friends, very short. But hey, great ride for those who are willing. Go when it's not peak season; no line.

Let's go back to the beginning of the park. Land of the Dragons. Looks like a good family playground in the brochure. I had the short-lived privilege of guiding my party from SheikRa to here. And with my good feeling we finally found the entrance and everyone but the adults and I had fun going on the kiddy rides and playgrounds. That's right. 3 kids out of 4 kids got to have merriment. Talk about a mood killer! I am sorry about being bias but I am extremely jealous of them. Even a kid my age got to get on this stuff. Dang 56" max. height! (I'm 61"!) But for those who are feeling the same way, Land of the Dragons is closing soon and is going to be replaced with Sesame Street's Safari of Fun. For those of you with preschoolers, I wish you luck in Spring 2010. But at least you can follow your kids through a rope trail. I had quite a history with ropes, but that's for another post.

Next is Rhino Rally. It is a great free safari. (For a great in depth safari, the Sergenti, be sure to have an extra $33 at hand). Be SURE NOT to sit in the FRONT or BACK; you WILL get wet and/or soaked.

Also try some of the carnival rides. They are safe so I hear. Also try the Ubanga-banga Bumper Cars for old times` sake. It will be great to show the kids.

SheikRa. The mother of all roller coasters. Even if you don't go on it (like me) you can still have some fun on a warm day: due to a one-of-a-kind-on-a-floorless-coaster technology called the "splashdown" and physics, when ShiekRa goes down for the more than first time by the Sergenti Train Express at Staneyville, guests too close will get very soaked; even those far away will get hit by the aftermist.

Montu. Very Intense. I didn't go on it, but my mom did and she said, "I like it, but it's one I would only go on once." Mom also noted that she felt dizziness after experiencing Montu. She also noticed that your feet may go in a direction and it seems like they'll hit something. Montu is an inverted roller coaster at the Egypt section of Busch Gardens named after the Egyptian god of war.

So as you can see, I didn't ride EVERYTHING, but that's OK. Some of you might be mad that I didn't ride SheikRa and/or Montu, but hey, I can't go on both even if I wanted to; Montu has been deemed too intense for me to go on. Again, I didn't ride everything, but again that's OK 'cause we have things called the FunPass. Pay for a day, come back all year. I trust you have heard of it. And here's a special Anheuser-Busch offer: Buy a FunPass now and it doesn't expire 'till 12-31-10! So that's the end off my special Busch Gardens post!

(No video today. Sorry!)

Piano Recital

Here is a video of my piano recital yesterday. It was nearly perfect! Enjoy.

Espanol (Spanish) News Flash

Thank Yous and Other Good Things

Hello Everybody and Happy August. I would like to thank everyone who came to Urinetown: The Musical. If you missed it, you missed a great show. Every show was a sell-out. If you want to see a musical posted on my blog, I would advise you to order ahead of time. This is one exception though. Ian Beck's Always and Forever is coming up soon. REAL soon. It is a sequel to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. I have not seen it yet, but I may be with my mom.

Anyway, enough show biz. I have some good news of my own. I finished the Chronicles of Narnia series. If I went to the Christian school (no names for safety, I hope you know what I'm talking about), I would have to read two books off of the summer reading list. The Chronicles of Narnia series was on it and I decided to finish it. (These next few sentences will be understood if you know I was reading in a chronological order: The Magician's Nephew, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, Prince Caspian: The Return To Narnia, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Last Battle). I had read The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for a book report and I started reading The Silver Chair but never finished. 2 years pass, Book 6 never gets completed. Then the summer reading list comes along and I decide to finish The Chronicles of Narnia since said series was on the reading list. I started reading The Silver Chair on 8/3 and finished said book 8/5. I decide to start The Last Battle on 8/5 and finished 8/6. I read 2 books in FOUR days! Four! Check out the next post for reviews in "Review Revue."

Good News #2: My school has been decided. I am going to the Christian school! I'll be with close friends again. But do pray that all the programs work out. For this year could be my last. But if the advanced programs work out, I'll stay there till the end of 8th Grade.

Good News #3: I got 2 new piano books at my piano lesson. I got Level 4 Popular and More Popular books by F.J.H. Unfortunately the company is going out of business (copyright problems). The books include Cruella de Vil (song from One Hundred and One Dalmations), Hakuna Matata (The Lion King), Can You Feel The Love Tonight (The Lion King) , In Dreams (Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), Flight of the Bumblebee, Star Wars, Superman Love Theme, and many more.

Good News #4: I finished my Fantastic 4 video game finally. It is based on the 2005 movie of the same name.

Well pray for mom to get a new position at work and well, good night.

What Is Urinetown?

Urinetown is a satirical comedy musical about people having to pay to pee (And the price is quite hefty). Created by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann, it appeared as a Tony Award-winning musical in Broadway with Hunter Foster and Jennifer Laura Thompson, there has been a camp dedicated to it. It is part of the popular camp, Next Stop Broadway. Come join us. Email me for showtimes and locations.

Parental Guidance: Rated PG for crude humor, language and innuendo.

This is a hilarious show with a childish theme. Enjoy how the hero of the show starts a revolution of Poor people against the wealthy staff of the Urine Good Company. Urinetown the Musical has 2 acts of songs to keep a smile on your face. The show lasts approximately 2 hours. See you there and bring your coins.

He's DONE It!

I never thought he would do this. But he actually has. Mom is liking it. We thought he would back out because he has been shy about it. To me it's kind of scary. I mean he's had that 'stache since college for crying out loud! There's only 4 people I know that has seen him without it until now. Uncle Scott- The Computer Tutor, Uncle Steve- The Truck Driver from the North, G'ma- the Mom, and G'pa-The Dad. You've probably guessed by now who I'm talking about. Let me say one more thing first. His wife has never seen him like this before. He even had it when they were dating. That's right. Dad, Shawn J, has shaved off his moustache on Friday, June 5th, 2009. In other news, my IQ I think is 113. I took an IQ test the other day, like Thursday I believe. It was fun. Maybe this time I'll remember what a sun dial and stethescope is. Well I'm off to vacation goodbye and Bon Voyage!

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days News

OK, I know none of you (at least I don't think none of you) have been awaiting this moment. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (pronounced Kingdom Hearts Three-Five-Eight Days over Two) has been rated! It turns out my guess was right. (to see guess look at archives: Kingdom Hearts: The New Game) OK, now I'll stop stalling with parentheses. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has been rated by the ESRB, which I have noticed today.... I am very excited about this. I'm not kidding. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has been rated by the ESRB.... Am I reminding anyone of Ryan Seacrest from American Idol (which um... Kris Allen won)? OK, enough fun facts. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days for the Nintendo DS has been rated by the ESRB: E10+ (Everyone 10+) for Fantasy Violence! Well, That's all Folks! Adios Muchachos!

Cool Video

I know a lot of you have no clue what Kingdom Hearts is, but my dad and I were looking at some videos of this song I'm doing for the school Talent Show, and I remembered seeing a video of a guy playing songs from the Kingdom Hearts series. I asked Dad to look for it, and we found it. Enjoy! click here

Sword and the King 2: The Lost Kingdom

Notice: Post Title is not the official title of the skits of Summer Explosion 2008. It is Summer Explosion 2008: The Lost Kingdom.
Although this is a year ago, I never finished it and I may never do so. So I'll go ahead and show you what I wrote.
Have you heard? Summer Explosion is back! Remember last year when I put posts about The Sword & the King? Summer Explosion presents The Lost Kingdom takes place one year after Jamie, Jess, and Jeremy return to 2007. I want to tell you the characters of The Lost Kingdom.

Recurring characters: Jamie Destin (Middle Left), Jess Destin(middle right), Jeremy Destin(right left), and King Renato(middle as shadow).
New Characters:
Martin(left right)- Good Guy-cousin to Jamie, Jess, and Jeremy.
Keleto(far right)-Good Guy- Friend of King Renato
Pungo(far left)- Dim-witted Bad Guy
The order(middle)-The Main (3) Bad Guys- Can't Remember the names of the order.

The Blog Report proudly presents:
A Summarized version of THE LOST KINGDOM.

Jamie, Jess, and Jeremy enter on the run into the forest saying whoever they met couldn't be as bad as he looked. Then a shadow appears but it's just Martin. Martin says that he has a mental M-A-P (gotta do the letter motions) and can track anything down, even thought the Destin's
dad told Martin where they were. Then Martin falls in a hole. Jeremy, Jess, and Jamie go after him.

Martin met King Renato. K. R. told Martin 4 signs to find the Scarlet Door.

Meanwhile, the Destins run into the Order, but the Order thinks that they're trying to skip work. Jess dissapears. Soon, they meet Keleto and find out they're back in Istoria (where TS&TK took place). Keleto is soon arrested because the Order thinks he said the forbidden name (King Renato). The Order gets notes stuck on their back (Jess put the notes there) but find out. They make the Order sword then. The Destins find Martin and.... That's where I stopped. Without going into full detail, they find Jess, Jess loses her video diary. The Order finds out the crew's plan. The Destins and Keleto find the Sword of the King and are attacked by boulders a la Indiana Jones. They find the Scarlet Door, where Martin is badly injured. Martin is healed by Renato. Pungo turns out to be Renato's grandson. Martin, Renato, and Justice(Pungo's new name) stay behind in Istoria with Renato, while the Destins go back home.

Stay tuned for Summer Explosion 2009.

Spanish Chapel

Hola Senores y Senoras y Senoritas. Last Wednesday, my school had the best Spanish chapel ever! Even though we messed up a bit (Hey! It's a foreign language!), the skit was phenomenal. My friend played the main character and he knew ALL his lines (in one day)! I forgot to give the annoucement but you would have had a fantastico time! Adios amigos (y amigas)!

Kingdom Hearts: The New Game

Hello Blog Readers. I've been on the computer lately and I've been reading about the new anticipated Kingdom Hearts game. ESRB has not rated this game yet, but I'll take a good guess
at the rating. But before I reveal the guess, I shall reveal the plot. Basically, it's about main protagonist Sora's "Nobody", Roxas (take out the X, unscramble, and what does that spell? ??? Looks familiar doesn't it?) on his life in Organization XIII (main antagonists in Kingdom Hearts II). Also in plot is newcomer is XIV member, Xion. More is known about her in KH 358/2 Days.

Have a guess on the rating yet? My guess:


What's yours? For more information on Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, visit here.

Christmas or Xmas

Hello Blog Readers. Welcome to the Blog Theater. Today we are showing the Christmas special.

And it starts now.

Prolouge

'Twas a week before Christmas, and all through the town
Potatoesburg people were buying last minute gifts
Forgetting the true meaning of Christmas, 'cause Santa was hung every wall, every house, every place.
But Jesus has not been lost,
In this chaotic scurry,
As one little house in town,
put Jesus up first.
The Spudds they call them Scott, Bri, and David,
and lastly Jeanne,
the evangelists of the town,
who hasn't forgotten about CHRISTmas.
When they decorated the tree,
Jesus came first,
right on top, before the last stem.
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of town,
another family was struggling this Christmas.
A father who wants the best for his kids,
yet doesn't know the truth,
If only he met the Spudds before,
yes, that might do,
he might know what,
the real meaning of Christmas was about.

Act 1

'Twas 6 days before Christmas,
the scurry continued.
Dealers happy for money,
Parents don't know the right things for their little angels,
wanting things for Christmas,
over twenty grand.
The father in the outskirts of town,
was busy at work,
scribbling down,
his theory of how Christmas came around.
Unsure what to do,
he made this small hypothesis saying,
"The real meaning of Christmas,
Ah, what can it be.
Hmmm.... After observing towns folk and others at home,
my hypothesis for the meaning of Christmas is
getting gifts for others.
That should be it...
right?"
Unfortunately his theory was incorrect. For Christmas anyway.
The hypothesis was the meaning of... Xmas.
Xmas. It takes out Christ. The opposite of Christmas it is.
75% of the world celebrates this opposite.

'Twas 5 days till Christmas the father he ran,
to store after store buying ridiculous toys for his children.
how long will it take till he realizes
IT'S FAKE!

Act II

'Twas Christmas day, the bill arrived, after all people had opened their gifts,
the poor family saw that they were in debt.
Poor family, wanting best for their children, realized maybe this was over the top.
The father regreted too much that he did not what to do.
He fell down a hole too big to crawl out....
"It is the end. I died now."
the father said these words of doom.
But then within the deep hole,
a rope out of nowhere appeared out of the blue.
Suddenly he realized, HE WAS RESCUED!
The Spudds helped the family out,
they donated the family enough to pay the debt and more!
The father understood now. Christmas isn't about getting.
It's Jesus. He gave himself as the Perfect Gift.
This Christmas was merry after all.

Morale of the Story
"Christmas isn't getting. That's Xmas. Christmas is CHRIST. Jesus CHRIST gave himself as The Gift. The true meaning of Christmas is Jesus.
