Its Been A While

Hey guys,
So yeah, this is the first blog post I have done in quite a long time. So yeah, I am back at school, March Break is over, I have had rugby every day of the week so far.
But right now I am pretty damn frustrated. One of the main reasons is that I bought some blank CD`s, I have a freind at school who wants to get into a lot of music, so I asked him what type of music he is into, so he said AC/DC, Aerosmith, KISS and some other stuff. So I made some playlists and I got the CD`s today, after I got home and started putting the songs on them I noticed that they weren`t blank CD`s, but they were blank DVD`s. So yeah I don`t know if it will work, I think it should work but yeah, that sucks.
On top of that, my headphones just broke, and I can`t go without music, so yeah, that sucks too. The best things that have happened today were probably rugby and I got a call from my dad.
Today I got my Cadet uniform, but I never have to go to Cadets cause I am in Honour Band.

Weekend

Hey everyone,
So today I got back from my dads house, I was there for the weekend. So it was fun, we hung out at the Distillary Disrtict in the city, that was pretty fun, we went to some art gallery`s, had some lunch and went back home. Me and my dad went for a run also, it was ok for the first little while, then it turned into hell. Then when we got back we worked out for a while, we did 20 prisoner squats, then 20 lateral pull downs, we did that three or four times.
On Saturday we had some guests, my dad`s business partner and his girl friend came over.
So that was fun, hung out, had some food, watched some TV.
So yeah, it was a pretty fun weekend, and now its over.



So I have a YouTube channel that my friend helped make for me, he made it in like October or November. Yeah so he put two video`s on it, and last night at my dads house I used my dads IPhone to record a video, so my dad put that on my channel today, and today I used my brothers webcam on his Mac, and I made five video`s on it, then he found out and he deleted them, so I only had three vids again. They are still on Youtube, like you can type in my channel and in the results there are those video`s, but when you click on them they don`t work. So yeah, I am gonna save up for a camera and hopefully I will be getting a Ipod touch soon, and I can use the camera on that. So hopefully I should have some more video`s up soon enough, but don`t hold your breath for it. Here is a link for my channel, be sure to subscribe. Oh, and I don`t know if this will happen to you, but sometimes it won`t show all my video`s on my channel, like right now it says I only have two video`s, but that might just be doing that for me, but if it happens for you just type in my channel, so here it is. Actually, I just checked it and I only have two video`s up, one of them was deleted, so yeah, that sucks cause earlier everytime I uploaded one the oldest vid was deleted, which is messed up, so yeah here is my channel
www.youtube.com/user/smackinmackintosh




So on Saturday my dads business partner said that I should pick a song to learn for guitar that I can play well, and sing it too, and play it for people and stuff. So my brother said I should learn a song called Wonderwall by Oasis. So I checked that song out and it was really good, here is the music video for it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?=v6hzrDeceEKc
So yeah, check it out, it is an awesome song. Before I heard that song I had only heard one song by them, its called Some Might Say, pretty good song.

So right now in guitar lessons I was learning Angel by Aerosmith, but we kinda dropped it cause it is kinda annoying to learn, so we started soloing techniques and stuff, so my teacher gave me the A minor scale and I have to make it into a solo using a lot of cool techniques. Next song I wanted to learn was Mary Jane`s Last Dance by Tom Petty, but now I am gonna learn Wonderwal by Oasis.

So here is a list of my favorite songs, enjoy!

1. Wonderwall by Oasis
2. Crazy Bitch by Buckcherry
3. Cha Ching by Hedley
4. Lit Up by Buckcherry
5. I Don`t Feel Like Dancin by Scissor Sisters

10. Cocaine by Jackson Brown
11. Cocaine by Eric Clapton

Good Day

Hi guys,
So I just got back from the movies, I saw The Bounty Hunter. It was pretty good, it had Gerad Butler and Jennifer Aniston in it. It was much better than I thought it would be, it was pretty funny.
Other than that, I have just hung out around the house, reading and listening to music, watching TV. Pretty normal day, right now I am watching Boston Legal and drinking Hot Chocolate, it is a nice thing. I have also been looking up Stephen King and his books, he has around 87 books, and then he has the Richard Bochamn books, with them he has around 95 books, that is amazing. He had around 3-5 books a year, that is a lot, normal people have around 1 book every year to two years.

Two movies that I am really looking forward to are Hot Tub Time Machine and Grown Ups. They look hilarious, here are the trailers for them, here is Hot Tub Time Machine,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DCFPS58KYY
Here is Grown Ups,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZB44Ea1A0k

They are hilarious.
So I don`t really know what to talk about now, um... I have guitar and drum lessons tomorrow, I am learning Angel by Aerosmith, it is proving to be kinda of annoying to learn, but it does have some cool licks in it and stuff. Drum lessons are kinda boring but cool, I get to show off at school with it. After music lessons I am going to my dads house for the weekend, I can`t wait.


So I actually don`t know what to talk about so I think I am gonna end this post now, so yeah, its a pretty short post.
So yeah, talk to you guys later.

This Weekend

Hi everyone,
So today is Thursday, it has been a pretty normal day, I had to go down to the doctors for an allergy shot. Tomorrow is gonna be pretty normal too, then on Saturday I am going to my dads house, and spending Saturday night, Sunday night and Monday night and coming back like 2:00 on Tuesday or something. I can`t wait, I`m pretty damn excited.
So I just heard this thing on the news today and I think its pretty cool, this guy in Britain won the lottery one day after he got divorced, That is really lucky, and pretty funny too.

So in my last post I said I am looking for three authors to read some of their stuff, I had the first two authors and was looking for another author. So I found it, I had two options, Stephen King and Orson Scott Card. I picked Stephen King, so I went out to Chapters and got two books, I got Stephen King`s third book, Carrie. I also got another book by Darren Shan, I got the ninth book in a ten book series, I had the first 6 books, and they didn`t have the 7th or 8th, so I got the ninth, and the final came out in October 2009 I think.
So Carrie is awesome, but very messed up and sick. It is about a girl called Carrie White, she is hated at school, she is intensely bullied and its all because of her mom, her mom won`t teach her anything, she thinks everything is a sin, and when she was pregnant with Carrie she didn`t even know what pregnancy was, she thought she had "a cancer of the womanly parts" Yeah but the mom has estranged her so much that she is bullied so bad, and she can move things and make things happen with her mind, so eventually she goes insane and starts to kill everyone in the high school. One thing that was messed up was when the mom was pregnant and she didn`t know, and when she started to give birth she didn`t know what was going on and her neighbors heard her screaming and they wouldn`t call the police because they hated her. Eventually someone did call the police and they found the mom and they thought she was attacked, but then they saw a butcher knife and they find out that she cut herself to help get the baby out, it was messed up. The dad was killed in a car crash before Carrie was born, he always carried two things to work, a bible and a gun. The bible was because he was a religious freek, and the gun was in case he saw the Antichrist. So yeah, they are one messed up family. But the book is really good so far, I would suggest you read it, he early books were his best, his newer books aren`t that good, but apperently his most recent book is actually really good, its called Under The Domn. For a while Stephen King changed his name so he could write more books, no one would publish his books anymore because he made to many, he made around three or four a year. So he changed his name to Richard Bochman, but then after a couple books he went back to Stephen King.



So right now I am downstairs watching Rush Hour with my mom, it is an awesome movie.
So I gotta go now so here is a list of my favorite songs,

1. Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Creedance Cleerwater Revival
2. I Wanna Sniff Some Glue by The Ramones (I haven`t actually heard it, I just saw it on a CD and I loved it)
3. Just Feel Better by Carlos Santana Ft. Steven Tyler
4. Sunday Morning by The Velvet Underground
5. Rebel Rebel by David Bowie
6. Shout It Out Loud by KISS

All right guys, thats it for now, I should have a new post either tomorrow or on Saturday

My Plans

Hey everyone,
So I am feeling a bit better right now than last night, but if I start to feel bad again I can just watch something on my IPod. But I have a feeling I won`t have to.
So I am gonna be talking about my plans for March Break, cause the 3rd term at SAC is gonna be really busy, especially with rugby, and I need to get in shape. So I was sitting in bed last night trying to think of something I can write a song about, because I have been trying to write a song for a very long time. So I couldn`t think of anything, but eventually I thought of one line of lyrics, I thought it sounded good, so I made another line, and another. It was surprisingly easy, which is strange cause I could never write lyrics. So yeah, I thought of an entire verse, and I didn`t want to forget it so I went to the washroom with a piece of paper and started writing things down (now un-common for me, its a thinking room, and that sounds kinda strange).
So I decided to call it You`re The Only One, so far I have one verse (which is 8 lines) and the first chorus.
So once I got back into bed I started thinking of plans for March Break. So for tomorrow my plan is,
Morning: just hang out, do whatever
1:00-2:00: Work out
2:00-2:30: just hang out
2:30-3:30: work on You`re The Only One, and music in general
3:30-4:00: hang out
4:00-5:00: memorize my lines for Drama

The rest of the day is really just relaxing, and I plan to do that everyday for March Break, or almost. Hopefully I can stick to it, I don`t think I have ever been very good with routine.

Ok, I just stumbled across this on YouTube, it is Selena Gomez, that actress/musician on Family Channel, she is doing a cover of Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf. It is actually a really good cover, she does it well. Here it is,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_LrWpMspdk&feature=grec
For some reason I couldn`t copy and paste that, so I just wrote that down, so hopefully that will work, but if it doesn`t, just tipe in Selena Gomez Magic Carpet Ride.

So lately I have been showing intrest in writing, so I have been trying to write some short stories and stuff. So far I have started one, its about a zombie apocolypse, ever since I saw Zombieland I have been really interested in Zombie stuff. My dad gave some advice on writing, he told me to pick a couple authors, and read a couple books by each of them. So I am going to pick three authors, I have all ready picked two, they are Darren Shan and Arthor Conan Doyle. I have read a couple books by Darren Shan and I really like them, he has these series of books called The Demonata. There are ten books, here is a list of them,
1. Lord Loss
2. Demon Thief
3. Slawter
4. Bec
5. Blood Beast
6. Demon Apocolypse
7. Death`s Shadow
8. Wolf Island
9. Dark Calling
10. Hell`s Hero`s

I have read the first three of them, I read some of Bec, right now it is in my locker at school, I am reading 5th one right now, and I read a bit of the 6th one.
I have the first six of them, tomorrow I am probably gonna buy more of them.
I have read one of Arthor Conan Doyle`s books, it is Sherlock Holmes The Hound Of The Baskervilles. I read it for a book report in grade five or six. It was pretty good.
I don`t know any other authors I should pick, I really don`t know, I will probably e-mail some people asking for some suggesstions.

All right now for my favorite songs, here they are.
1. Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Creedance Cleerwater Revival
2. Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf
3. Classical Gas by Mason Williams
4. Just Like You by FM
5. Little Know It All by Iggy Pop and Sum 41
6. Living After Midnight by Judas Priest
7. Wild America by Iggy Pop
8. Take A Walk On The Wild Side by Lou Reed
9. Candy by Iggy Pop
10. Cha Ching by Hedley

All right guys, talk to you later.

March Break

Hi everyone,
So I would have done this post on Thursday night, since that was when March Break started, but I just wasn`t in the mood and I was to lazy I guess.
So right now I am feeling some sort of guilt or something, well I don`t know if its guilt but I feel kinda bad and I don`t know why, all I know is that I hate it.
On a lighter note, I got my old acoustic guitar re-strung, so thats good, sounds much better and it has six strings againg becuase one of the strings broke off a couple weeks ago. So the last couple days have been pretty normal and quiet, just relaxing. Today I have pretty much just been playing video games, Left For Dead 2 and Modern Warfare 2.

So right in guitar lessons I am learning the song Angel by Aerosmith, the next song I am gonna learn or hopefully learn, is Mary Jane`s Last Dance by Tom Petty. It is an awesome song, awesome guitar song and has some awesome Harmonica parts.
A couple days ago one of my final molars started growing, it was hurting yesterday, today it is fine.

All right, I am actually not feeling good right now at all, not sickness, just feeling bad and I don`t know why. This has happened the last two nights as well, I have been getting agitated and anxious. I delt with it the last two nights by buying TV shows for my IPod and watching it in bed. The first night it bugged my I watched two episodes of Gene Simmons Family Fewel`s. Last night I watched two more episodes of Gene Simmons Family Jewel`s and one episode of Rick Mercer Report. The thing is, not everything I buy on ITunes will go on my IPod now. I don`t know why, some shows will, no movies will go on anymore, and usually all the songs go on but sometimes they don`t.


All right, now for some of my favorite songs,
1. Mary Jane`s Last Dance by Tome Petty
2. Cha Ching by Hedley
3. Just Feel Better by Carlos Santana Ft. Steven Tyler

My Birthday

Hey guys
So today is my birthday, and it has been pretty awesome!
So the party started on Friday, and it has been really cool. So on Friday my Dad picked me up from school, and we went back to his house and relaxed and watched a bunch of music video`s which is what we like to do. Then on Saturday we got up early and went to St. Lawrence Market, we hung out there, and we had this thing that apperently is pretty famous there, Pemeal Bacon On A Bun. It was actually awesome. Then we went and visited my grandmother, so that was pretty cool. Then we picked up my 16 year old uncle and went back to the house, then my dads business partner and his girlfriend came over, and we watched some movies and stuff and then went out for dinner at a place called Taps And Tales. It was good, then we dropped my uncle off at the subway and we went home and relaxed, then we went to bed. I couldn`t really sleep so I watched a movie on my IPod, I watched the movie The Longest Yard, the 2005 version, I hated the origianal movie.

Here is what I got for presents. I got an awesome, authentic, german harmoica in the key of G, which is awesome for blues. The way that was given to me was when we where at the resturant my dad gave me and my brother these hand made leather and wood boxes he got from Nigeria. He told me to open mine and there was something wrapped in paper, I opened it and there was this white box with the harmoice in it. I also got a book on how to play the harmonica, so I have started learning that. I also now have just under 200 dollars on ITunes, I`m happy about that.
My mom got me some cool clothes and she got me two Aerosmith CDs I have been looking for, Get Your Wings and Rocks. Then with my birthday money I got some more awesome clothes.


So today for the first time instead of my dad driving me and my brother home, we took the bus back from Toronto, it was actually reall cool. So when we got back we just hang out a bit, I played my harmonica and then we went out for dinner and then saw Alice In Wonderland.
It was actually reall good, but it felt like it was so short.
So now I am watching The Oscars, just started. At my dads house we had these sheets to vote for all the catagories so I hope I win. I think I came 2nd last year, I`m not sure.

So I am trying to decide what song to learn next, so here are the candidates,
1. Angel by Aerosmith
2. We Weren`t Born To Follow by Bon Jovi
3. By The Way by The Red Hot Chili Peppers


So once again instead of a song of the day, I am gonna list a bunch of my favorite songs, so here it is

1. Knockers by The Darkness
2. We Weren`t Born To Follow by Bon Jovi
3. Nobody`s Fault by Aerosmith
4. Lord Of The Thighs by Aerosmith
5. Angel by Aerosmith
6. Just Like You by FM
7. Scandel by Queen

Rugby

Hey guys
So just wanted to say that this post was gonna be up yesterday but when I published it, it said there was an error publishing and I lost all of the post.
So yeah, that sucked, so now I have to do it all over again.
So on Friday in Advisory we picked our 3rd term sport. The choices were
1. Rugby
2. Tennis
3. Badminton
4. Cricket
5. Track and Field
6. Lacross
7. Soft Ball

So the sports I was considering were Rugby, Tennis, Badminton and Soft Ball.
So I decided to go with Rugby, yesterday was the first practise and it was awesome!
I loved it, there is around 25-30 people on the team, most of them grade 7 and 8s, some are grade 6. We have four coaches, one main coach and three assistant coaches.
My next practise is tomorrow and I can`t wait! and because of rugby my schedule is a bit different. So here is my new schedule, well its just when I finish school

Moday- 4:30 finish at 3:15 then have rugby
Tuesday- 5:30 or 6:00 finish at 3:15 the have Drama and then rugby
Wednesday- 2:30 finish at 1:15 then have rugby
Thursday- 4:30 finish at 3:15 then have Honour band, I also have Jazz Band from 11:45 till 12:30
Friday- 4:30 finish at 3:15 than have rugby

So yeah, thats my schedule now.
Another cool thing thats coming up is my birthday! March 7 and I will be a teenager. On Friday my dad is picking me up from school which I am looking forward to, then a weekend in the city which I love. And then back here for my birthday, we are going to see Alice In Wonderland.
Then it is March Break soon after that, next Thursday is the last day and its only half a day.
Not really doing anything over March Break, I might be going to Rock Band Camp but my mom doesn`t really want me too, she thinks its not proffesional enough but I love it and it is good.
We were going to paint our living room but we deicded not to.
So the Science Fair at my school is coming up, March 9th, next Tuesday. My topic is What Paper Towel Brand Holds The Most Weight When Wet. I am kinda nervous, kinda excited. Its being graded by the Upper School teachers, so they are a bit harder to impress.


All right, for the song of the day I can`t think of one, so I am just gonna list a couple of my favorite songs.

1. Scandal by Queen
2. Cha Ching by Hedley
