iPad Insanity

Hi, this is Draco back from his untold trip to Eris. I thought about this blog and saw there were not a lot of followers. Okay that's fair because I didn't post much. Instead a new blog is getting created called iPad Insanity. I got an I pad and lot's of pixelated and real life stories to share. So get your gear and let's head out to sea. Next stop, the blog: IPad Insanity.

The Unusual Event

 One unusual event in my life was a strange dream. I was dreaming that I was in department store shopping for new swimming trunks. Suddenly, a fire alarm rang through the white tiled building as other shoppers and my family ran through towards the exits in a panicked tone. BANG! CRASH! CRUNCH! SNAP! As my gang and I just left the building, the ceiling and walls caved in onto the floor. EU! EU! EU! I could hear fire trucks approaching but I didn't stop to look for them, I kept running. A flaming brick soared above my head, hit a car's engine, and blew up in a deadly explosion near me. SNAP! SCRICH! CRICK! I screamed in pain as I tripped on the fire-grazed blackened pavement. The pain was so deep, I had to keep a conscious effort not to pass out. I peeled myself off the ground and kept stumbling. Suddenly, a wall of fire blocked my path as I skidded across the parking lot floor and turned around. I turned around and saw the most unusual thing I ever saw: a humanoid swirling in fire so hot I could feel its heat like it was right next to me. My vision suddenly went black as something hit me from behind.

 I woke in a glass cave with a pond of green water and a golden door at the mouth of the cave. I immediately stood up and fell back down in pain. Somehow I had broken my ankle. As if on cue something entered the cave. It had massive purple wings, frosty white hair, blue eyes, and an orange bandanna around its mouth. His torso was blue just like the rest of his scaly body. His deep voice indicated he was a male as he said "Hello Earthling, you are on the planet Mecos." I answered him by saying "How far is that from Earth?'' "About 21 light-years" and with that he sprayed black gas in the air and I blacked out once more. Now I woke up in my room. Out the window I could see trees, snow, and other types of nature. Suddenly, my mom called out from a distance" Draco, breakfast is ready you have to hurry to catch the bus." when I had to go to school. I jumped out of bed and slumbered towards the kitchen. It was a normal Monday when I had to go to school.
Goodbye dreams! Goodmorning reality!

                                  CHAPTER 1  INTRO


           Hi I'm Jon-Jon Becondorf. I'm an eight grader. I'm four and a half  feet tall. I don't need glasses but the fact that I've invented glasses that has a laser pointer and reflection cameras, is true. I have many friends who I think are like me. And I think that they are like me because they are kind of strange in a cool way. Still I'm not sure about that. For some reason I can't remember anything of my past. It seems like that my memory has been wiped and then full of information about almost everything except my past. That's why the teachers never give me homework about my past. My writing teacher, Mrs.Purtil is a little mad at me that she has to change a whole semester of work. She had everything planned out, but the principal made her change it to other things.

Camping in WestHampton

Today is Friday. A week before I had a party were my parents had made arrangements with everybody about camping. Now I was waiting for the guests to come. Once they did my dad asked all about the directions. Since there wasn't enough space in my car, I got to sit in my Siraj,  friend's, car. We listened to Percy Jackson (sound recording) all the way there. This is where it was: http //koa.com/where/ma/21137/facilities/.http://koa.com/where/ma/21137/facilities/. When we got there my other friend, Sanjit, came with his DS to Siraj's car. We all got our DSes and connected it to his. Next my friends and I set up our tent and played more DS in there after taking a walk. Next we ate dinner, smores, and told ghost stories. When my friends and I got in our tent which we made for ourselves. We played more DS. Then we went to sleep. Suddenly in middle of the night Siraj woke up and said he was scared of the ghost stories. My dad was walking around and heard him so he took him to his parents tent. Next morning we ate breakfast and went to the playground. A little later we went to the pool with my friend. Next we took showers and then watched Harry Potter 6 from a laptop. Next we played DS and basketball . After that we went to a lake climbed rocks, and then pizza at a restaurant, came back played more DS and went to bed. Next morning I found out that Sanjit already left. I used the computer but it was too slow so I put it away, ate breakfast and searched for coins that can get you candy.

After that we packed and went to the lake again and climbed rocks. For some reason I'm always the experiment. I'm saying that because I had to be the person who had to climb up really steep rocks. Next we went to a mall eat, shopped there, and then went to another restaurant ate there and went home. THE END

Last Week

My most memorable day a week ago was the day at the beach with my family. The temperature was in the High 80s.The sun was shining brightly in the sky. When we first got there my mom had to go to the bathroom. That's is why I got to go into the water before everyone else did, while my dad waited. Once my mom came my parents set up the carpet. A little later I came back from the water and went to the carpet. Then my mom told me to look for my dad.Immediately I saw him and signaled him to come back. Once he came I set off for the water again. While I was diving waves I got some friends who seemed familiar. Next we found sand dollars and dug a big big hole in the sand. After that we cleaned up and left the beach.Since it was a long way back home we stopped dinner. But even then it was a long way to get to a civilized town which didn't sell just sea food.Once we got to a place we quickly ordered  food. After that we ate and we went back to the car. Half way we listened to music and half way we shared stories from Shakespeare. When I got home I played games from lego.com, and watched Harry Potter 6. PS I chose this day to write about because there was good whether and Plus who doesn't have fun on the beach.

The Profency Part Three

"What's after lunch Rex?" asked James." Art, Phis Edd, Double- "Stop making life worse" said James. "Due to poor weather circumstances school will close in 30 minutes and will be like that for the rest of the week "announced the speaker. Everybody rushed to there lockers got the important stuff out and raced to waiting buses or  went to their car to drive home. James, Maggie, and I got into the car and started to drive home but James just turned the car around at our street." Were are we going?" I asked . "You'll see when we get there" said James and Maggie handed me a flashlight and told me to put it away in my pocket. I'd did so but didn't understand why. "Look time is short, you are a son of the wind gods in Greek. We are taking you to a camp to train for combat and things that sort" said Maggie. "James, this taking too long can we shadow travel?" asked Maggie. "Sure"replied James. All around us turned black and then we were at a camp with a rectangle of cabins. "This is camp half blood mate"." I really am a son of hades and she is daughter of Zeus. Here we train to fight monsters. Do you still have that flashlight, if so click it, " said James. I clicked it and it grew into a sword made with bronze."Wow". "Plus you have brothers and sisters in your cabin. Its that one, you should go check it out". Once I entered the cabin I didn't wonder how they build it because the inside was clearly out cool stuff. My brothers and sisters were all looking at me like they knew me for ages. " Hey little bro I'll guild through the camp" said one of my brothers. He showed me the capture the flag area, arena, and other things."He even taught me how to to use my powers and wind gale. Tomorrow morning we had a game of capture the flag. I was the a little nervous because people could actually die but my brother told me that as long as I stayed close to him I'll be all right. Which reassured me. Once a horn blew the teams clashed together fighting like mad but the whole wind cabin flew over them making the wind push them through the skies. Some people noticed and shot arrows but everybody in the air dodged the arrows. Soon we located the flag swopped down reicved it got it back to our side and won the game.

The Profency Part Two

After I went to English class we had a lunch break. Maggie, James, and I weren't exactly popular so we were used to getting bullied alot. The bullies made us sit were they could spit food at us. Plus they made a newspaper looking like this at us: HELLO TO ALL THE NERDS IN THE SCHOOL. You guys should really get more wedgies from us. You know we are really kind not to stab you with a knife. And other sorts of junk insults with snide comments. But the good part is all the teachers are on our side and the help us by locating and destroying original copies so they couldn't copy them. They also have a secret club which they practice bulling. After lunch I go to the museum to learn about samurais. Here is the homework I handed in:amurai, (侍?) is the term for the military nobility of pre-industrial Japan. According to translator William Scott Wilson: "In Chinese, the character 侍 was originally a verb meaning to wait upon or accompany a person in the upper ranks of society, and this is also true of the original term in Japanese, saburau. In both countries the terms were nominalized to mean "those who serve in close attendance to the nobility," the pronunciation in Japanese changing to saburai." According to Wilson, an early reference to the word "samurai" appears in the Kokin Wakashū (905–914), the first imperial anthology of poems, completed in the first part of the ninth century.By the end of the 12th century, samurai became almost entirely synonymous with bushi (武士), and the word was closely associated with the middle and upper echelons of the warrior class. The samurai followed a set of rules that came to be known as Bushidō. While they numbered less than 10% of Japan's population[1] samurai teachings can still be found today in both everyday life and in martial arts such as Kendō, meaning the way of the sword.Following the Battle of Hakusukinoe against Tang China and Silla in 663 AD that led to Japanese retreat, Japan underwent widespread reform. One of the most important was that of the Taika Reform, issued by Prince Naka no Ōe (Emperor Tenji) in 646 AD. This edict allowed the Japanese aristocracy to adopt the Tang Dynasty political structure, bureaucracy, culture, religion, and philosophy.[2] As part of the Taihō Code, of 702 AD, and the later Yōrō Code,[3] the population was required to report regularly for census, which was used as a precursor for national conscription. With an understanding of how the population was distributed, Emperor Mommu introduced the law whereby 1 in 3–4 adult males were drafted into the national military. These soldiers were required to supply their own weapons, and in return were exempted from duties and taxes.[2] This was one of the first attempts by the Imperial government to form an organized army modeled after the Chinese system. It was called gundan-sei (軍団制) by later historians and is believed to have been short-lived.[citation needed]
