Check out the video at the top of the page, "The Mystery Marauders", that the King of Thabno created with his squire.

We Got Not to Allow It!

Isn't Sarah Palin a strange person.

New Nothing

2008-07-08T21:33:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry to all of my fans out there that I haven't blogged in a while, because I've been busy or it's been too hot to turn on the computer. For the past couple of days my brother was out of town, so I have been doing a lot... well, a lot of nothing. I've also been working on a new XNA game with lego people, and a lego movie.

Nothing

I'm supposed to have thoughts about nothing on this blog, but today I don't have any thoughts about nothing. Ummm... I went to the beach today for the first time this summer.

Why I Don't Consider Golf A Sport

2008-06-18T11:58:00.000-07:00

Why I don't consider golf a sport: You don't get any excercise or work as a team in any way.
Why you might argue: You get excercise by walking from hole to hole.
My response: Then what are golf carts for?

More Great (And A Little Strange) Summer

2008-06-18T11:20:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I finished my XNA game. Two days of work with six levels! I can also add another level in about a minute.

Anyways, on Monday night I was watching Jay Leno, and Gabriel Iglesias was on. He's a hilarious comedian that I have a clip of at the bottom of this page.

This last thing doesn't really go with the name of the blog, because it's a thought about something. So if you read this, remember to think about nothing. Baseball is a strange sport. It's the only sport where a person score points (by reaching home plate) instead of the ball (like in soccer, golf, etc.). Also baseball is the only sport that is played on a field that only has half of it filled with grass. This is because baseball players are cheap and can't afford a full field of grass. It's also the only sport that doesn't keep track of time. (I don't consider golf a sport, but that's another story.) This is because baseball players can't keep track of time. Lastly, baseball teaches bad ethics. It isn't a team sport for one team because only one player does anything at one time (the batter). As for the other team, it teaches them to be bullies because they are all teaming up together against one guy. This is why I don't like baseball and, as you can probably tell, don't play it.

Second Day of Summer Vacation

Summer Vacation

2008-06-16T11:27:00.000-07:00

On my first day of real summer vacation (weekends don't count) my mom made me make a list of what I have to do over summer:
-get rid of old school stuff
-redo my room
-get my summer reading book*
-buy new sandals
-buy new clothes

*Reading the book was not actually on the list, just getting it.

As you may have also noticed, the list isn't very long considering I have three months of vacation. However, I told my mom what every kid learns in school: What matters is content not length.

This summer I am also planning on working more with my XNA software (a program that lets you make your own games). I already have a couple games and I am trying to get them on my game site, http://www.geocities.com/noyolaboys@sbcglobal.net/gamesandcode.html. For more info on XNA, you can look at microsoft.com, my other blog, http://topjgames.blogspot.com, or one of the many other sites you can find through an online search.
