Winnie the Pooh Story
Okay, here's a pretty random story I wrote:
It was the first day of middle school and I was completely lost. I wandered around the halls, with a giant map, trying to get a sense of direction. My gigantic book bag wasn't helping. It seemed to be getting heavier and heavier every second.
I dropped my backpack and plopped on a bench to take a rest. I had a really cool backpack. It was red and white, had lots of pockets, and my name, "Townsend" written on it with blue letters.
Just then, I noticed a big, golden key sticking out of one of the pockets. I took it out... and almost dropped it! It must have weighed 30 pounds!
I looked at the key carefully. It was about a foot long and had some kind of Greek etched in it. Hmm... Greek. I whipped out my Greek pocket dictionary and started translating.
After I painfully converted the Ancient Greek to English, I read the translation, "Silly, silly, peanut. I found a tarantula."
That couldn't be right! It was probably just some joke. Suddenly, the Greek letters on the key shimmered and changed into English. "This key opens a door in this school."
Oh. For the next two hours I looked for a keyhole. I looked in my locker, the cafeteria, the equipment shed, and even the bathroom. I thought for a second. Wait a second, was it possible? Was it actually possible the keyhole was in the Principal's office?
I held my breath and crept into the front office. I dodged employees and staff members as I inched towards the Principal's office. I was halfway there. I threw myself on the ground and desperately crawled... and crawled until I got to the door. I turned the doorknob and it was locked!
Locked! Locked! How? How could it be locked? I slammed my fists on the door... and it flew open. I was now in the Principal's office. I looked around and found a little hole in the wall, almost unnoticeable. I put the golden key in the keyhole and twisted. A loud clicking sound rung in my ears.
The wall shone and a small stuffed toy popped out. I couldn't believe my eyes. It was Winnie the Pooh!
Winnie started dancing and singing, "Winnie the Pooh. Winnie the Pooh. Snuggly, snuggly, snuggly, cuddly, cuddly, cuddly!"
He kept on singing. "Excuse me?" I said. He still sang. "Excuse me!", I shouted.
Winnie the Pooh kept on singing.
I was ready to whack him with the key when he said, "Oh bother, I have a message for you. Math class is straight across the hall, to the right."
Then, he disappeared. Well, that's that, I thought and headed to math class.
That's the end! I think I'll call it "Winnie the Pooh goes to Middle School" or something like that.

Camp Ridgecrest
Howdy, people! I just finished an awesome camp called Camp Ridgecrest for Boys in Ashville, North Carolina! (There's one for girls too.) It's a two week, action-packed, sleep-away camp with fun activities and awesome staff! (My counselor liked quantum physics!) I went horseback-riding, played tennis and dodge-ball, played sock-war (The most awesome game ever!), and more! Here are some pictures:

Camp Flastacowo and a Skit
Currently, I am going to a summer camp called Camp Flastacowo. It is really fun and we get to kayak, canoe, rock climb, play manhunt and capture the flag, sailboat, play ping-pong, sing camp songs and more. I like kayaking and field games the best.
Here is a skit I wrote:
(Takes place in a court room.)
Judge: Hear ye! Hear ye!
Defense Attorney: Hear what?
Judge: The trial of illegal trading of Monkey Head Erasers will now begin. Prosecutor, please make your opening argument.
Prosecutor: Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, my name is ... well ... erm ... I forgot my name, but the evidence will show that Tom Trader illegally traded Monkey Head Erasers to the country of Monkeydiddle.
Defense Attorney: It's Monkeydoodle.
Prosecutor: Interuption! Rude. Rude. Rude. I will continue now.
Judge: Order in the court! Now the Defense Attorney will make his opening argument.
Defense: Umm.. well.. I forgot to prepare an argument.
Tom Trader: Why did I get stuck with a horrible lawyer?
Judge: Order in the court! Will the first witness please come to the witness chair?
(Sally Sue Smith walks to the witness chair.)
Judge: Do you swear to tell the truth, nothing but the truth, and the whole truth?
Sally Sue Smith: I don't!
Judge: You don't?
Sally Sue Smith: I don't! May I sit down now?
Judge: Well...err.. okay. Now the Prosecutor will question the witness.
Prosecutor: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Sally Sue Smith: Umm... that's not really relevant.
Prosecutor: Answer the question, Silly Shoe Sith!
Sally Sue Smith: No.
Prosecutor: No?
Sally: No. Can we get on with this?
Judge: Now the Defense will cross-examine the witness.
Defense Attorney: What is the capital of Libya?
Sally: What?
Defense Attorney: Who won the battle of 1812? How many protons are there in a uranium atom? What is the population of Zebrawing butterflies in Ontario?
Sally: Shouldn't you ask questions about the case?
Defense Attorney: Oh, yes. That's right. Okay then, is it true that you saw Tom Trader ship a box of Monkey Head Erasers?
Sally: Yes.
Defense Attorney: And how do you know that ninjas didn't kidnap Tom Trader and send his identical twin to ship the Monkey Head Erasers?
Tom Trader: We aren't getting anywhere with this.
Sally: Well sir, I've known Tom Trader for a long time and he doesn't have an identical twin. Besides, sir, ninjas don't exist anymore.
Defense Attorney: I see. I have no further questions your honor.
(Alarms start beeping. Guy runs in.)
Guy: Ninjas! Ninjas are attacking the building!
(Ninjas leap in)
Ninja: We have come for Tom Trader's identical twin!

A German Christmas Song
All I want for Christmas
Ist meine zwei Vorderzähne
Meine zwei Vorderzähne
Nur meine zwei Vorderzähne
Gee, wenn ich nur hätte
Meine zwei Vorderzähne
Dann könnte ich Sie Frohe Weihnachten wünschen
Es scheint so lange da ich könnte sagen,
"Schwester Suzy sitzen auf einer Distel"
Mein Gott, oh gee
Wie glücklich wäre ich
Wenn ich könnte nur "Whithle"
All I want for Christmas
Ist meine zwei Vorderzähne
Meine zwei Vorderzähne
Nur meine zwei Vorderzähne
Gee, wenn ich nur meine zwei Vorderzähne hätte
Dann könnte ich Sie Frohe Weihnachten wünschen
All I want for Christmas
Ist meine zwei Vorderzähne
Meine zwei Vorderzähne
Nur meine zwei Vorderzähne
Gee, ich wenn ich nur meine zwei Vorderzähne hätte
Dann könnte ich Sie Frohe Weihnachten wünschen
Santa Claus und seine Rentiere
Verwendet, um mir viele Spielsachen und Süßigkeiten bringen
Aber jetzt, wenn ich versuche, ihre Namen zu nennen
Keiner von ihnen kann mich verstehen
All I want for Christmas
Ist meine zwei Vorderzähne
Meine zwei Vorderzähne
Nur meine zwei Vorderzähne
Gee, wenn ich nur meine zwei Vorderzähne hätte
Dann könnte ich Sie Frohe Weihnachten wünschen
Dann könnte ich Sie Frohe Weihnachten wünschen
Dann ich Ihnen Frohe Weihnachten Wünsche könnte
P.S. A prize goes to whoever can sing it without making any mistakes.

The Mysterious Benedict Society
I just finished an amazing book called The Mysterious Benedict Society! It is about four extraordinarily gifted children who try to stop an evil genius, Mr. Curtain, from taking over the world. It is well-written and paced so you never get bored. It also comes with mind-bending tests that challenges even the strongest minds. I definitely recommend this book to read over the summer. I think it has a sequel too.

Crab Apple Song
This goes to the tune of "Fireworks":
Do you ever feel like a macintosh,
Being smashed around, into apple sauce?
Do you ever feel like a Granny Smith
Don’t you wish, it was just a myth?Do you ever feel, like apple jelly?
Being served at a deli?
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's an apple in you
You gotta eat the fruit, and let it digest
Just eat the whole night and smile your best
'Cause baby you're a Crab Apple
Come on, show 'em how you grapple
Make 'em go "Yikes, yikes, yikes!"
As you ride on your bike, bike, bike!
'Cause baby you're a Crab Apple
Come on, show 'em how you grapple
Make 'em go "Yikes, yikes, yikes!"
As you ride on your bike, bike, bike!
Eat, eat, eat,
Like everything's a tasty treat
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through-ough-ough!
'Cause baby you're a Crab Apple
Come on, show 'em how you grapple
Make 'em go "Yikes, yikes, yikes!"
As you ride on your bike, bike, bike!
'Cause baby you're a Crab Apple
Come on, show 'em how you grapple
Make 'em go "Yikes, yikes, yikes!"
As you ride on your bike, bike, bike!
Awesome, huh?

Banana Song
Here is an awesome song I wrote:
Chorus
What do you do when the banana man is coming for you?
What do you do?
What do you say when the banana man comes your way?
What do you say?
Well, you better run away!
Verse 1
The banana man is evil!
And he has a boll weevil!
He is medieval, he caused an upheaval,
The banana man is evil!
Chorus
Verse 2
He's not zucchini!
Or a genie!
He's not a beanie, or fettuccine.
He's a meanie!
Weirdo Part
(Party Rockers melody)
Banana man is in the house tonight!
Nobody's gonna have a very good time.
Banana man has come to take your mind!
Nobody's gonna have a very good time.
Chorus
Verse 3
Here he comes!
He has a nerf gun!
He's dressed a nun!
He weighs a metric ton!
I can see the midnight sun!
I'm eating a hotdog bun!
This is not going to be fun!
So I run, run, run!
Chorus
That's my song! Like it?

THE WINNERS OF THE WARRIORS CONTEST!!
This was a big contest. It was very hard to judge. Jackson and Clare both had a dramatic story. Jackson's story was in Tigerstar's point of view and Clare's was in Brambleclaw's point of view. Both stories were awesome. But somebody has to win. So, the winner is (drumroll) Clare! Her story is way too long to post, but you can see it by going to the post called "Mewtwo!" and clicking the comments.
Thank you for participating! Bye!

My Skit
Hello! I made up a skit today called "Field Trip". I will post it.
Field Trip
Scene 1 - Classroom with students and teacher
Teacher: (Writes on blackboard) Today, class, we will take a field trip to the Sahara Desert. Remember to bring three gallons of water. We will be taking notes on ecosystems.
Student 1: How will we get there? By plane?
Teacher: No.
Student 2: By boat?
Teacher: No. We will go by......space-time warp!
(Students ooh and aah)
Now let's jump into the space-time warp. Take turns.
Scene 2 - Space-time warp
Student 2: I have to go to the bathroom.
Teacher: (Pulls out a mini toilet) Good thing we brought....... Porta-potty!
Scene 3- Sahara Desert
Teacher: Now students, quiet down. In a few minutes, some nice folks will give us a ride across the Sahara Desert.
Student 2: What will we ride on? A camel?
Teacher: No.
Student 3: A donkey?
Teacher: No. We will ride on... Canadian Caribou!
PART TWO COMING SOON!
Hope you like Part One!

11 Birthdays
I just finished a great book called 11 Birthdays. It is about these two best friends who break up. Then, their 11th birthday happens again and again. I recommend this to anyone.
Here is an observation at a Holy Comforter kindergarten classroom:
If it is your birthday, the students line up. The birthday girl or boy gets to choose if they want to hug the first student or spank the first student. Then it goes to the second in line, and then third, etc. I am sure the spanking part breaks a few laws.
Another thing is if the class has a guest, there are different types of thank yous. There is the Elvis thank you where you say, "Thank you, thank you very much," and the Thank You song. The only one I am concerned about is the Firecracker thank you, where kindergarteners pretend to blow up.

The Power of Babelfishing
One of my favorite things to do is to Babelfish. I have Babelfished the Preamble, Team Rocket's motto, and Abe Lincoln's Inaugural Address. You are probably asking: What is Babelfishing? Babelfishing is translating text back and forth between languages on the Babel Fish translator.
Here is a step-by-step guide to Babelfishing:
1. Go to Babel Fish Translator
2. Type in some text. Example: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
3.Translate it to a language like Spanish.
4. Copy and paste. Translate it back to English. I got:
Have fun Babelfishing! Comment your Babelfish on this blog. Bye!

How much wood one marmota would throw if one marmota could throw the wood?
5. Repeat. Eventually I got:
How if how much for a it works with wood woodchuck 1 of woodchuck 1 can play this wood, you plays?
6. Make a list of what you learned My example:
- Woodchucks are wooden
- Woodchuck #1 can play this wood
- You work with wood woodchuck #1 of woodchuck #1
- We do not know how much wood woodchuck #1 works for

How to Catch the Mewtwo I Caught in Pokemon Black
I finished Chapter 3 in The Rise of ThornClan.
Here is a simple step by step guide on how to catch the Mewtwo I caught. You must have Pokemon Black and have beaten the first gym.
Note: This is probably a glitch so you might not get the same result.
Here is a simple step by step guide on how to catch the Mewtwo I caught. You must have Pokemon Black and have beaten the first gym.
Note: This is probably a glitch so you might not get the same result.
- Enter Wellspring Cave (Cave on Route 3). Make sure to save.
- Walk alongside the right-hand wall until it bends.
- Run into the wall on the spot right after the wall bends.
- Run in to the wall 6 more times.
- The wall should collapse and you should hear a glitched Mewtwo say "Mrooowow! Mroo!" If not, turn the power off and try again.
- Walk past the crumbled wall into a hidden area that is actually a cave in Pokemon Red (I found this out later).
- If you are lucky, there will be no more glitches (If so, turn off the power and try again). Approach the Mewtwo and it will challenge you.
- Throw a Quick Ball at it or decrease its HP and catch it with a Dusk Ball.
- If you catch it, save immediately(If you don't save, the Mewtwo will disappear after you leave the hidden area. I experimented with this).
- Congratulations! You just caught a glitched, impossibly strong, and awesome Mewtwo!

Mewtwo!
Today on my Pokemon game, I caught a Lv. 70 Mewtwo. If you don't know what a Mewtwo is, go to my profile picture. It is the bigger Pokemon. Its moves are Electro Ball, Shadow Ball, Aura Sphere, and Psystrike.
For you Warriors fans, I have made a big contest. Here are the rules:
The Dark Forest has been training cats for many moons. They have created a league of dark cats led by Tigerstar. All the Clans join to fight the league. Describe the battle in under 1,000 words. Write where the battle is taking place and what happens. Here is a sample paragraph.
Note: This is just a sample paragraph. You should write more than this.
The enourmous tabby led the mass of cats across the field. Moonlight shined off of the tabby tom's eyes giving them a yellow glow.
"Tigerstar!" gasped Firestar.
The dark cats charged at the helpless Clans, spreading like a swarm of bees. Four cats leaped on Firestar as he tried to swat them off. A large tom pushed Mistystar off a large rock. Tigerstar sat in the middle of the bloody clearing, watching his cats tear apart the Clans.
Good luck!

Planet Townsend
My science teacher, Bob, and I have finished a big project in which we use many areas of science to design an actual planet called Planet Townsend! We did the astronomy of the planet, the geology, the meteorology, the microrganisms and the animal and plant life on our planet. I will try to find a way to display it on this blog.

Warrior Game
Since there are no Warriors video game coming out, I will try to design one. I have created a survey on the design of the game. Please answer these questions.
1. What game system should the Warriors game be for?
2. Should you be able to choose your Clan?
3. Should you be able to create your cat?
If yes, what features do you want in the Warrior creator?
4. Should you start as an apprentice or warrior?
5. Should the game be based on the original storyline or a new storyline?
6. Should you eventually become leader of your Clan?
7. What features do you want when you're battling?
Thanks for your help!

Genghis Grill Review
I finished Chapter 2 on The Rise of ThornClan.
Last night, I went to the new restaurant that opened, Genghis Grill. I give an A+! The reason I love it so much is because you can design your own meal. I'll walk you through the process and tell you what I got.
Step 1: Choose the Protein
You put whatever protein you want in a silver bowl. There is a wide variety. If you are a vegetarian, skip this step unless they have tofu. I forgot. I got chicken, turkey, and ham.
Step 2: Season the Protein
You sprinkle some seasoning on your bowl. There is about a dozen to choose from. Warning: Some seasonings are very spicy!!! I chose pepper.
Step 3: Choose the Vegetables
Yum. There are so many vegetables to choose from. I chose broccoli, green beans, and onions.
Step 4: Choose your Sauce
There are many sauces to chose from. There is a couple super spicy sauces. I didn't get any sauce.
Then, you give your bowl to a man who asks you if you want fried rice, brown rice, tortilla, etc. I chose fried rice. The man will take your bowl and cook it.
Hope you like Genghis Grill!

On Buying a Zoo and Aliens
Yesterday, I saw a pretty good movie called, "We Bought a Zoo!" It is rated PG. It is about a family with two kids and a dad who lost his wife. They try to start a new life and buy a house in the country. The only thing is it comes with a zoo!
I researched the alien case and found important info. The transmitting satellite is probably BeeSat-1, a German satellite. It is a cube-shaped thingamabob that is capable of creating radio waves that are hard to detect. That is why one day I had a pageview from Germany and the next day I didn't.
See you soon!

Aliens at Blogger.com!
That's right. Aliens are hacking into Blogger.com. They are sending radio waves that are bouncing off a German satellite.
Evidence:
I got a pageview from Germany. Weird. The next day, it never existed. The page view got removed from the database.
Aliens are using Firefox to hack in to our blogs.
Evidence:
On a pi chart, I got a pageview from Firefox. On the other charts, it never happened.
Aliens have set up a website called stopsmoking-instantly.com to access all blogs worldwide.
Evidence:
Why has every blog gotten a pageview from stopsmoking-instantly.com? Is it an alien website?
Aliens are now moving on to Facebook.
Evidence:
For some reason, my mom was friends with an appliance store. She never added it to her friends. How?
Aliens I tell you! Aliens!
P.S. We are not hacking into ..oops, I meant aliens are not hacking into blogger.com

Prophecy-Off
I have written Chapter 1 in The Rise of ThornClan so you can read it on the page. For all the warrior fans out there, I have started a Warriors Prophecy-Off. You will be graded on how confusing it is (You want it to be confusing), poetry, and style. You must also have an explanation. Here is my example:
Explanation:
The moon is bright, These two lines speak about StarClan.
a shining star,
to set things right, You have to go on a journey.
you must travel far.
The squirrel, the fish, All four Clans are participating.
the ferret, the bird,
must seek what's been seen,
but no one's been. Nobody has been to the stars; the cats must go to StarPool.
If you can, if you will, If you make it, there will be peace.
all crashing waves will stand still,
for the future has been scraped in stone, But if you don't there will be a battle.
of spilled blood and a pile of bone.
I can't wait to hear your prophecies!

Dolphin Tale
Hello! I have created a new page called The Rise of ThornClan. I am posting the book I'm writing on that page, chapter by chapter. Today, I'm am probably going to post Chapter 1 on it.
Yesterday, I saw a really good movie called Dolphin Tale. It was a touching story about an injured dolphin named Winter that had to get its tail cut off because of an infection. A boy named Sawyer, who is in summer school, discovers Winter and secretly skips summer school to see him every day at the Marine Hospital. What happens next? Watch Dolphin Tale and find out.

The Rise of ThornClan
Hello! Today, I started writing a new book in the Warriors series. It's called The Rise of ThornClan. I'll post the Prologue.
Moonlight shined over the peaceful clearing. The only noise was the calm breeze blowing over the trees. A group of twenty cats came out of the shadows. They were all battered and tired. The cats rested on the soft grass. "What will we do?" wailed a tom with a dark brown pelt.
"We'll be alright, Woody," reassured an older grey tom, "We'll find a way."
An orange she-cat with white stripes looked at the elder tom.
"But how? Our twolegs have abandoned us. We have nowhere to go."
"Don't worry, Stripe. We will get out of this creepy forest or my name isn't Muksin."
"It's not. Your name is Munchkin."
"Yeah, whatever."
The cats drifted off into a deep, deep sleep.
That's my Prologue. I'll give you some more updates. Bye!

Cascade Park
Hello!
Today, three people designing a new park called Cascade Park came to my class. They were looking for ideas and decided to visit us. I really want a walk-through maze and a tire swing. What do you want in Cascade Park? Comment about it.
I also started designing a computer game called "Pokemon: Epic Adventures". It's where you get a Pokemon from Professor Oak and go on an awesome journey. Once I'm done, I'll post the link. For all you Pokemon fans out there, if there is anything you want to see in the game, make a comment.
