Hey guys,
So I am excited because March break is in a week! Awesome!
I am looking forward to a break... My birthday is on Monday, and two things are happening... I am presenting the Science Fair Project (ugh...), and there is a comedy festival for Middle School... All right, its not really a comedy festival, its like a 45 minute- 1 hour thing, and a couple people get up do a domedy routine. This was suppossed to happen a while back, but not enough people showed up. Basically, in English class, we studied comedy. At the end of this unit we had to get into groups of two or three and write a 2-3 comedy skit. Some of them were good, some were... Um, less good. Haha.
So, with the coming of March Break, also comes third term and all its glory and fury.
One good thing about third term is picking new sports. I am once again, playing Rugby, the greatest sport (gonna get some hate for that, no doubt).
I`m pretty sure we pick the sports before March Break starts, so anytime next week. Last year we had one or two practises of Rugby before the March Break. Mind you, it was inside (because there was still snow), and we were not tackling. We were learning the basic rules of the game, we were learning passing, and we were doing different drills. My favorite (which is a bit hard to explain) is the very first drill we did. Basically, Everyone gathered in a somewhat large circle, facing each other, but each person had two or three people in a line behind them. The first person of each line has a rugby ball, everyone who has a ball has to run to the person facing them across the circle. You basically have to dodge all the people and get to the other side somewhat quickly. Very fun, and at the beginning, very chaotic.
So, last night was the Cadets in Concert at my school. Its an Upper School thing mainly, but I still went, and let me tell you... It was awesome!
It started with the Upper School Band, they did a couple really good songs, and at the end of their performance they did something unexpected... The did a Journey medley, it was actually OK.
Then, the head drummer and the kinda second in comman of the Drum Corps came out and rocked out! The second in command messed up a little bit, but they were both really great! There was also a sort of dance routine with basketballs... Yeah, its as weird as it sounds. But it was pretty good.
Then the entire Drum Corps came out and each guy played a different percussion instrument, and they did this cover of a song that was actuall really good! My favorite part was anytime the Drum Corps was playing. They did this one thing where they were playing, the everyone started playing quietly, and the head drummer and second in command came to the front of the stage and had a drum duel, then they started sword fighting with their drum sticks, eventaully one of their sticks broke (planned of course), and then it got crazy. They went of stage and came back with lightsabers... Yeah, awesome! They fought with lightsabers, the second in command won, and they picked up their drums and started playing again.
The Bagpipes were awesome (as always) as well.
It was an amazing night!
So, in Music Class, we had to pick a band and do a PowerPoint project one them (my band was MUSE).
One guy did their project on Bob Marley... I now love Bob Marley!
So here are some of my favorite songs right now.
Buffalo Soldier- Bob Marley
When The Levee Breaks- Led Zeppelin
One Love- Bob Marley
I Shot The Sheriff- Bob Marley
Three Little Birds- Bob Marley
Sleepyhead- Passion Pit (This is the original version, I prefer the version by Ellie Goulding and Starsmith)
De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da- The Police
Walking On The Moon- The Police
Killing In The Name- Rage Against The Machine
Thats it, will post again soon.

Long Weekend
Hey everyone,
So, unfortunately the long weekend is almost done, just tomorrow left, and tomorrow I`ve got some homework so, yeah. Its been a pretty fun weekend. I`ve seen a lot of great movies, which are:
One Flew Over The Cuckoo`s Nest
Raging Bull
The Godfather
The Evil Dead
Ghostbusters
The Godfather Part 2
I`d seen The Godfather and Part 2 before but didn`t remember much, and I`d obviously seen Ghostbusters before. And I am going to watch The Godfather Part 3 tomorrow.
Now, a little bit about each movie...
One Flew Over The Cuckoo`s Nest:
I really enjoyed this movie, it was interesting, had a good story and great acting! It is about a man in jail (Jack Nicholson) who pretends to be mentally handicapped so he can get out of jail. So he goes to a mental institution where he makes chaos among the staff and patients. It has got a nurse in it that is just evil... But, yeah great movie, really liked it.
Raging Bull:
This was also a really good film. It is about a boxer, who was really good at boxing, he became a champion, it goes through his problems with his family, and then shows where he ends up after boxing. It stars Robert De Niro, who was great in it, so was Joe Pesci, who played his brother.
It was violent, interesting and intense.
The Godfather:
I really enjoyed this film. It is about a family, and this family is the leading mafia family in America. Its stars Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, it also has James Caan and many others.
Marlon Brando is the head of the family (people call him Godfather), and is almost killed in an assasination attempt. At the end Al Pacino becomes the head of the family, even though he never wanted anything to do with it. This movie won best Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay. A really good movie.
The Evil Dead:
Now, I was a bit weary about watching this film. I`m not a huge fan of horror, especially modern horror. I watched it anyway, and I loved it! It was very, very bloody. But when they did anything other than blood, like actual gore, the effects were honestly laughable. Now, keep in mind that they had only $375,000 to make this entire film. That is pretty impressive.
It is about these five college students who go to a cabin in the woods, they find a book, The Book of the Dead, and then they find a recording of a man saying the incantations in the book. This brings evil spirits, their actual names are Deadites. Everyone is possesed and killed except for Ash (Bruce Cambell). This is the first film of the trilogy. There was Evil Dead 2, and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness. The first film is horror, the second is horror with a bit of comedy, the third one is an adventure/action with comedy. But, I really enjoyed it.
Ghostbusters:
I`m not going to say much about this film, almost everyone has seen this. It is a classic film about three guys who are amateur ghost hunters, they start their own company and become very popular and busy with catching ghosts. One of the main characters` (Bill Murray) girlfriend (Sigourney Weaver) is possesed by an evil spirit to prepare for the coming of an evil god. This film is funny, interesting, and has some awesome actors.
The Godfather Part 2:
Now, me personally, I liked this film better than the first. Sure, the first one had Marlon Brando in it, but I liked this one better. I really liked Michael (Al Pacino) as the Godfather. I liked how they went into his marital problems and problems with his siblings. I also really liked that they told the story of Vito Corleone(original Godfather) as a young man, and I loved Robert De Niro playing Vito Corleone. I didn`t even notice how long this film was, and it was a long film! This movie is 3 hours and 20 minutes! But when it finished I felt like it was no where near that long, I actually wanted it to go on more. This was nominated for 11 Acadamy Awards, and it won 6, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor. I love the acting, I love the story, I really love the film.
So yeah, tomorrow I am watching The Godfather Part 3, and if I have any time in between work, I will try to squeeze in another movie.
So, thats it for tonight, hope you guys enjoyed, and if you haven`t seen those movies, you should check them out.

Busy, Busy, Busy...
Hey guys,
So I haven`t posted anything in a while, no reason really, I just haven`t.
But I am writing this now, so lets get into in.
This is basically about school, specifically about the 3rd term. I am going to be busy as hell!
I have 6 exams, 2 summatives, Jazz Band, Honour Band, Rugby, major assignments, ect...
I should do fine with the exams, I`m only going to really struggle with Math, and probably French, and maybe a bit with Science. I can`t wait for Rugby, its going to be great, again. One thing I am going to have to put a lot of time and effort into is the Middle School Music Night. These are all the things I am in for it:
Jazz Band
8-B Band
Middle School Drum Corps
Duet with friend (two songs, I am on drums for both)
Rock Band (I am on guitar, at least one song)
Honour Band (I don`t know if we are going to actually in this, but we might)
Thats a lot of stuff to practise for. Add all the exams and sports on that you get a whole lot of hell.
I want to quickly talk about the Rock Band, me and a friend have decided to start a rock band, we both love good rock music and are both pretty good at our instruments. I will be playing Guitar, he will be on Bass and on Vocals, and we need to find a drummer.
I`m pretty excited about this, I haven`t been able to play guitar at the school really.
That reminds me, I tried out for the Coffee House (basically a music night) for guitar. I made it for guitar and drums, awesome!
Also, me and a friend (who I have known since I was two) decided to make a movie a couple months ago. Its finally happening. We started filming roughly a week ago, and its going good so far. I play the role of a mean, creepy teacher who helps the main character get the girl of his dreams (I wear a hilarious suit and have an amazing black affro). Its really fun to make this movie, we have a hilarious 80s styled montage thats just funny as hell.
Now, before I go here a few of my favorite bands right now and some of my favorite songs.
Bands:
Led Zeppelin
Nirvana
The Kinks
The Red Hot Chili Peppers
Songs:
Fool in the Rain- Led Zeppelin
Waterloo Sunset- The Kinks
Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard- Paul Simon
The Boxer- Simon and Garfunkel
Wild World- Cat Stevens

More Stuff
Hey everyone,
I haven`t made a post in a long time, so I thought I`d update it now.
So first of all, I`ve started listening a bunch of new bands, so here is a list of some of my favorite right now.
1. Klaatu
2. Supertramp
3. Weezer
4. Buddy Holly (And The Crickets)
5. Sam Cooke
And also here is a list of awesome Canadian bands.
1. Rush
2. Klaatu
3. Neil Young
4. The Guess Who
5. Steppenwolf (Canadian/American)
Yeah, so um... Catching up on what I wrote on my last post, a lot has happened...
I have one more day of school left until Christmas Break, the day after the last day, I am on a plane flying to good ol' Scotland! I haven`t been there in almost four years, so I can`t wait to get back.
That Geography assignment that I was talking about, we presented that last week, I think I got a 80% on it, so not bad.
My overall average for the first term was 73%, not bad, but tons of room for improvement.
I am finished IT by Stephen King, it was amazing! Beautiful, truly extraordinary! I am now reading The Shining, by Stephen King as well. I am about a quarter qay through it, I am bringing The Shining, The Stand (both of them by Stephen King), and Life: Keith Richards Biography.
I am reading the last one cause he is awesome, my dad gave it to me, and it give`s me something else to read on the plane (a seven and a half hour flight, followed by a one hour flight).
I spent the weekend in the city with my dad, awesome time once again!
On Saturday nightm there was an awesome party, I met an oldboy from SAC, that was cool, I heard some funny stories of back in the day, I met someone who saw me 12 years ago, and I also saw a kid, it was really cool seeing him, because the last time I saw him, he a few months old (and his parents didn`t tell us they had a baby, so it was a surprise), he is now almost four! It was really cool to see how he has grown.
Then on Sunday, we had a very quiet day, we had a Christmas dinner, because we won`t see my dad until the new year. So yeah, quiet Christmas dinner, presents, and then we went out on the town and saw a film that I thought was really good. The King`s Speech. I takes place from I think 1929 to the late 1930`s. It is about the Duke of York, his dad (the king) dies, and his older brother become`s King, but he abdicates. So the Duke of York has to be King, but he has a severe stuttering problem (not a great thing for a King to have). He seeks the help of a highly recommended speech therapist, who has un-orthadox and contreversial methods. After many fights and struggles, the King is able to make the openening War Time speech without stuttering. It was a very good film, it also had three actors from Harry Potter: Dumbledore, Belletrix Lestrange (Hellen Bonham Carter is a really good actress) and Wormtail. There were also some other familiar actors.
So yeah, three days left, and then I am going to Scotland!
Anyway, thats it, here are the songs for today:
Howl At The Moon by Klaatu
Goodbye Stranger by Supertramp
Reptilia by The Strokes
Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft by Klaatu
Hands by The Raconteurs
See you, next time

Five Day Weekend!
Hey guys
So I`m pretty excited because today is Wednesday, I finished school at 1:15 and now I am done until Tuesday. Thats right, a five day weekend!
So last week I got an assignment in Georgraphy that I think is really cool. We are studying the main Generations, the Boom, the Bust, the Echo and the Eco. My group is studying the echo, which started in roughly 1975 and ended in 1995. Today we learned more about the assigment, we have to do research, and I`m really happy about this because one of the big subjects we have to research is Pop Culture, so I have talk about some good musicians, films, celebrities, ect...
So I get to talk about that, the hard part of the assigmnent is that it has to be a 10-15 presentation, so far my group thinks we are doing a skit that kind of is a game show, I might show up as a guest musician from the Echo generation.
And now a five day weekend! Basically I think I`m just gonna be relaxing, I`m going down to my dads house on Saturday, that should be fun.
K, so today is a very short post, thats it for today.

I`m Back!
Hey guys,
I`m feeling a little weary of writing this right now, because this is actually my third attempt. The first time, my computer was attacked by a virus and I lost everything. The second time, my computer ran out of battery. But I am back, the last post was August 9th and its now October 11th. In that time period a lot has happened... So, the first thing I want to talk about is school. I`m now in Grade 8, and its pretty damn awesome. We`re the Kings of Middle School, everything about this grade is just good. The only bad thing that I can think of is that Grade 8`s have Cadets every week. This doesn`t bug me because itd actually kind of fun for us this year, but I can`t be in Honour Band because of it. We get to pick our classes for next year, we don`t have a lot of choice yet, but we have some. I`m doing a duet with a friend, we`re playing Say It Ain`t So by Weezer. But this guy absolutely hates rock music. He used to like it, now he says it "Boring, repetitive, and pathetic". He liked Jazz for around a month, but now he hates every type of music there is except Classical music. So whenever we are not playing the song, he is talking about how much he hates the song, and he picked the song!
That reminds me that I got a bunch of songs today for my Ipod, here is that list.
Say It Ain`t So by Weezer
Buddy Holly by Weezer
The Sweater Song/Undone by Weezer
She`s Tight by Cheap Trick
ELO Kiddies by Cheap Trick
He`s A Whore by Cheap Trick
Basket Case by Green Day
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day
Brain Stew by Green Day
21st Century Breakdown by Green Day
Last Request by Paolo Nuitini
Candy by Paolo Nuitini
All of them are really good songs, you should check them out.
So lately I`ve been reading a lot. I`ve been reading Stephen King books. I`ve got six books by him, and I`m looking for two more of them. The ones I have are
Carrie
The Shining
The Stand
Misery
IT
Dreamcatcher
The two I am looking for are
Salem`s Lot
Pet Cemetary
I`ve read Carrie, and I`m reading IT. Carrie was really good, it was amzing. So far, IT is brilliant. It is 1093 pages long, and I am on page 209. But yeah they are brilliant, I`m not gonna give a plot explanation of them here, but you should definitely check them out, Stephen King is brilliant.
So, on Thursday I got some really good news. I had the Cross Counrty Run, I finished that and went home, and found out that I am going to Scotland for Christmas and New Years! I used to go there all the time when I was younger, but I haven`t been there in over three years, so I really excited to get back, because all of my family on my moms side is there.
So, I`m really happy that Thanksgiving is over, because now Halloween will really start to come, and Halloween is one of my favorite time`s of the year. Not so much the actual day, but the entire time leading up to it, the season if you will. All the classic horror films on TV, not the modern crap, the older stuff. The stuff I concentrate is the 80`s stuff and earlier. But I don`t necessarily like the really old stuff, like the 50`s stuff, mainly the 60`s, 70`s, 80`s, and some of the 90`s. I`ve been trying to think of ideas for a horror story, but so far I am at a loss of any good ideas.
All right, I will leave you witha song of the day
What Is And What Should Never Be by Led Zeppelin
I`m feeling a little weary of writing this right now, because this is actually my third attempt. The first time, my computer was attacked by a virus and I lost everything. The second time, my computer ran out of battery. But I am back, the last post was August 9th and its now October 11th. In that time period a lot has happened... So, the first thing I want to talk about is school. I`m now in Grade 8, and its pretty damn awesome. We`re the Kings of Middle School, everything about this grade is just good. The only bad thing that I can think of is that Grade 8`s have Cadets every week. This doesn`t bug me because itd actually kind of fun for us this year, but I can`t be in Honour Band because of it. We get to pick our classes for next year, we don`t have a lot of choice yet, but we have some. I`m doing a duet with a friend, we`re playing Say It Ain`t So by Weezer. But this guy absolutely hates rock music. He used to like it, now he says it "Boring, repetitive, and pathetic". He liked Jazz for around a month, but now he hates every type of music there is except Classical music. So whenever we are not playing the song, he is talking about how much he hates the song, and he picked the song!
That reminds me that I got a bunch of songs today for my Ipod, here is that list.
Say It Ain`t So by Weezer
Buddy Holly by Weezer
The Sweater Song/Undone by Weezer
She`s Tight by Cheap Trick
ELO Kiddies by Cheap Trick
He`s A Whore by Cheap Trick
Basket Case by Green Day
Boulevard Of Broken Dreams by Green Day
Brain Stew by Green Day
21st Century Breakdown by Green Day
Last Request by Paolo Nuitini
Candy by Paolo Nuitini
All of them are really good songs, you should check them out.
So lately I`ve been reading a lot. I`ve been reading Stephen King books. I`ve got six books by him, and I`m looking for two more of them. The ones I have are
Carrie
The Shining
The Stand
Misery
IT
Dreamcatcher
The two I am looking for are
Salem`s Lot
Pet Cemetary
I`ve read Carrie, and I`m reading IT. Carrie was really good, it was amzing. So far, IT is brilliant. It is 1093 pages long, and I am on page 209. But yeah they are brilliant, I`m not gonna give a plot explanation of them here, but you should definitely check them out, Stephen King is brilliant.
So, on Thursday I got some really good news. I had the Cross Counrty Run, I finished that and went home, and found out that I am going to Scotland for Christmas and New Years! I used to go there all the time when I was younger, but I haven`t been there in over three years, so I really excited to get back, because all of my family on my moms side is there.
So, I`m really happy that Thanksgiving is over, because now Halloween will really start to come, and Halloween is one of my favorite time`s of the year. Not so much the actual day, but the entire time leading up to it, the season if you will. All the classic horror films on TV, not the modern crap, the older stuff. The stuff I concentrate is the 80`s stuff and earlier. But I don`t necessarily like the really old stuff, like the 50`s stuff, mainly the 60`s, 70`s, 80`s, and some of the 90`s. I`ve been trying to think of ideas for a horror story, but so far I am at a loss of any good ideas.
All right, I will leave you witha song of the day
