Halloween.

What I did for halloween.

The night before halloween I went to Worlds of Fun HAUNT with one of my friends, Keller. Since it lasted until one in the morning, it was part of my halloween. Once we got back to my house we stayed up and played video games. The next day we hung around most of the day. Later we went to Trunk or Treat as "lame trick or treaters". We walked around and got candy from the trunks of all of the cars in the parking lot. After that, we went to chipotle for the free food night. We then found out that you still had to pay two dollars for the food. We put tin foil all over; such as hats, gloves and arm pieces. After we ate some good food, we took my friend Keller home and then went home. Once we were home we pretty much just had a normal Sunday night.

My favorite book.

One of my favorite books is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  In this book, Harry and his two friends run away from their wizard school, Hogwarts. While they're gone they try to find the last five out of seven horcruxes. Horcruxes are made up of lots of dark magic and are made by splitting your soul into pieces. Lord Voldemort made seven of these, and Harry and his friends must find them before they can get rid of the Dark Lord forever. However, they are continually hunted by Lord Voldemort. Toward the end of the book Harry gets killed, but comes back to life and kills Lord Voldemort.

I like this book because it is not too long and has lots of action. The book is just fun to read and listen to all around.

People that like fiction books or people that enjoy fun, action-filled books will enjoy Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I definitely did!

What i like to in autumn.

During autumn I like be outside a lot because it's not too hot or too cold. I like to crunch the leaves on the ground because they make fun noise. I also like to go to bonfires and camp outs because I like to be outside at night and I like fire. I like to carve pumpkins. After they are carved we keep the seeds and clean and roast them. They are so yummy. I like to go on hayrides with my friends. I also like to just hangout with my friends and family in autumn as well as every other season.

                                                                       Adam.
          
                This is about one of my good friends, Adam. I have known him since pretty much as long as I remember. I met him at my school when I was like five and now I see him at church often.


We hangout a lot and do lots of different stuff like: Walk around from place to place, skateboard, play videogames, go to concerts and a lot of other stuff.


We are a lot alike in that we both have long hair and we skateboard. Some of our differences are: he has glasses I don't, he is completly home schooled and I'm part time home schooled. We both have a brother but I have two sisters. I used to live out by him but now I don't.

Homework.

The Story of The Kitty and The Catapult.

There once was kitty named Bartholomew. Bartholomew lived in a big house with lots of other cats. One day, one of the older kitties came home from the market shouting "there's a giant catapult in the market!"

All the other little kitties were asking mama cat if they could go see the catapult, but Bartholomew wanted to see it most of all. When the mama cat was not paying attention, Bartholomew ran away to the
market. He searched and searched for the catapult, until he finally found it. He wanted to get into the catapult just see what it was like. When he did, someone came up to it and put a rock in it. The kitty was meowing as loud as it could but it was not loud enough! Once the catapult was ready Bartholomew was launched and the poor little kitty flew all the way to the sea.

The End.

my brother duncan.

I decided to write about my little brother, Duncan. He has blue eyes, somewhat long hair, and is the size of a normal eight year old little boy. His personality is pretty much like a rabid chipmunk except he is not completely a chipmunk. He likes to do a lot of things. Some of his favorites are: bugging me and my sisters, playing video games, singing, acting, dancing, building legos, and watching TV. He is really funny and likes to talk a lot. I used to share a room with him but I don't miss that. He loves his gray and orange cat, Yoda. He is my favorite brother but he's also my only brother.
                                    Here he is with his best friend Sam, before he cut his hair.
                              




                            



                            





























Here he is doing, well i don't know what he's doing.








Here he is playing my dad's guitar.

How to play a simple 4/4 beat on a drum kit.

 This post is to explain how to play a simple drum beat. The most common beat is a four by four beat. A 4/4 beat is four beats per measure. On a basic drum notation  there are three symbols that represent three basic types of drums. The kick drum is the one you press down on with your foot. It is a low, solid thud. The snare drum is the one that sits right in front of you, and you hit it with your left hand. The snare drum sounds like a higher sound with a loud pop. The high hat is the cymbal on your left that you hit with your right hand. The high hat has a high, brassy sound.



  The way that you play a basic beat is to hit the high hat every beat, so four times in a measure. The kick drum you would usually hit on beat one, and the snare drum you usually hit on beat three. There are a lot of other beats and combinations that are possible.

We were looking for a part time school so that my mom could work more. My mom was talking to a friend of hers who told her about Brighton. We were very excited because it is two days a week and close to our house.  I was happy that I already knew some people before I started school. I think I like it so far, but I don't have anything to compare it to.  I'm looking forward to meeting new friends.

summer vacation

This summer I went to Cornerstone Festival 2010. Cornerstone is a music festival that lasts the first week of July. The road trip with my family and best friends was very fun.  You camp in tents and then walk around all day watching concerts and hitch hiking on golf carts. There were lots of bands some of my favorites were; mewithoutyou,  Queens Club,  Campbell The Band,  Men as Trees Walking, The Devil Wears Prada,  Eisley, Bradley Hathaway,  Living Sacrifice and the Almost. 


This our hut that we made for shade.

This is a picture of my two friends that met a guy who wanted them to play a show with him.


Once it ended I went to Youthfront camp west for a week. Youthfront is a christian camp with lots of stuff to do like, watersliding, swimming in the pool and lots of other games.

Once that ended I did not do much more with my summer other than hanging out with friends and skating.
