All of my friends have been making really big avatar-related blogs. I am yet to do this. Thats because I have been thinking about football non-stop recently. Even though football camp hasn't started yet, I still have a lot of stress because of it. I know that football camp is going to be the most physically enduring event in my life so far. And all of this stress has cut down my time on tv.com. My usual stress reliever, Xbox Live, doesn't always relieves stress, mainly because my mic broke and talk at all. Really doing anything is starting to feel stressful. Its not all the time that I fell stressed-out by football, it changes from time to time.

Its not like I don't want to do a avatar blog, Its just that Its kind of hard to make a big blog saying all of the stuff that i've been thinking about lately.

EDIT:

oh yeah, new pic on Deviant art.

Well, my vacation is over, nothing really intreresting happened.

What I really want to talk about is the ending of avatar. The motel I stayed at got cable so I was able to watch the avatar episodes. But whats on my mind is what's going to happen to all of us at the forum? Many people have already left, but how many more will leave? I just really hope that most of you guys will stay on the forum for a while longer.

Well, Im going to the forums now for some forum posting.

EDIT:

Oh yeah, Im have prank that I want to pull. On sunday everyone on the avatar should do all of their posting on the forum of a different TV show, without acknowldging that the forum we are posting is not the avatar forum.

So recently I've been making blogs that just didn't feel all that natural. It got to the point where writing blogs seemed like a chore and I didn't want to write them. But now I figured out why that was. Its because I was thinking about the blogs I was going to write. I was typing from my head, not my gut. That isn't what blogging is about. Blogging is about sitting down at a computer and just telling people about whatever is on your mind or stuff like that. All my recent blogs have been about what i've been doing, and there were no rants, I didn't talk about what I was thinking, so im changing that.

First thing I want to talk about is how competitive I am at certain games. On Halo 3 I'm really competitive, I don't trash talk because my mic is broke, but i think that its better that my mic is broken. And its really only in Matchmaking that i'm competitive, never in custom games. I don't know why. When I play certain gametypes like capture the flag, or assualt I get really competitive. I tend to yell at my tv when people at really stupidly, I just find it to be really frustrating playing with people who don't have a clue on how to play. I used to play Lone Wolfs (free-for-all) in matchmaking, but Bungie changed the number of people in each match from 5 to 6. In most maps you don't really notice a difference, but on small maps like construct it gets really sh!tty. Whenever you attack some1else you either get double teamed or someone steals your kill. There is also more camping in that one map than everyother map combined. If bungie didn't make that change i would easily be level 50 in Lone Wolfs. In rumble pit there is this really cool gametype called 'swords'. in swords your only weapon is an energy sword, and im one of the best players with energy swords. The only problem is that there are still gernades and that makes it so that someone with no sword skills can easily steal a bunch of kills. I don't know why bungie has never fixed that.

However, on other games like Star Wars Battlefront II, or Frontlines: Fuel of War, I'm much less competitive and I really don't care if my team wins or loses. I think it just might be the way that you just join a game in progress or something like that.

I won't be home when the new episodes of avatar come out. I'll be on vacation in Cape Cod. So i'll have to watch them on youtube.

I think thats it for now

Sorry for the abscense of blogs recently.

On Saturday I went to my friends cottage on the lake for July 4th. I spent the night and went home the next day.

Today I'm going to my Grandma's for another 4th of July party. But it will be on July 6th.

***I'm going to add to this blog, but its really early where I am right now and im tired.***

Im not feeling 100% so im going to make this blog short.

Starting yesterday around noon my stomach starting hurting. I couldn't tell if I was really hungry, ate something bad, or just had to go to the bathroom. At first I thought it was either the 2nd or 3rd option. after half an hour in the bathroom I ruled out the 3rd option. So I started eating, unfourtuantly, I felt like if I ate alot I would throw up. So I only ate little snack foods. The problem countinued for the rest of the day.

When I woke up this morning the pain was still there, so I had breakfeast. I still felt like if I ate anything I would get sick, so I didn't eat much. The pain seemed to fluctuate throughout until 6 pm. Meaning I would have alot of pain, then the pain would go down, then up etc. Sometimes I would have a slight pain in my chest. at 6 i took some Tylenol and my stomach is feeling much better. But now I have a headache and want to lay down, but I have to write a blog thanks to you selfish jerks.

And now, A little thing telling TV companies what they need to show more/less of.

Nick:

show more:

Avatar the Last Airbender

Angry Beavers

Kappa Mikey

Ned Bigby's School Survival Guide

Show Less:

The Fairly Oddparents

iCarly

Mighty B

I keep hearing people saying that Spongebob is getting all the tv time. But everytime I watch Nick its either The Fairly Oddparents (which I thought was canceled), iCarly, or the Mighty B. The Fairly Oddparents are always episodes that I've seen at least 10 times and its really annoying.

And I just want to say one thing about Cartoon Network. Stop showing all these stupid remakes of Tom and Jerry and Scooby Doo. I hate all these new versions of the timeless Cl@ssics.

Like my last blog I have very little news, so today this blog is going to talk about stuff.

DREAM:

Last night I had a dream where I had a dream and then woke up and tried to explain my dream to my friend. The dream was a combination of my favorite game; Star Wars Battlefront II and Halo 3. I have these dreams alot. Where I am actually inside the video and playing it in real life. the dream was the exact same gameplay as SWBII but in the Halo universe. I get these dreams everyother night, so I think that says alot about me

REMEMBER:

Towards teh end of the school, my friend started bringing his PSP to science cl@ss We had the same table so this is how I knew. He had one of those hacked PSPs where he could play gameboy games and stuff. Well, he was playing Pokemon Blue and training his pokemon. And whenever one of his pokemon took a hit, or took a stat change, I would go "OOHH!!1", until my teacher heard me. then I almost got in trouble.

VIDEO GAMES:

I'm addicted to the BF: Bad Company demo. The demo is just one campaign level that can be played on either normal or easy and 1 online map that can only be played with the gametype 'Gold Rush', but it is really a great game. Its just truley fun and I hope to buy it sometime in July after my family takes its trip to Cape Cod

Beautiful Katamari is going hopefully going to get here tommorrow, I'm i need of a single player game where I can just jump into the gameplay.

I've been practicing to do a Halo 3 Campaign challange, which is where I play Halo 3 Campaign by myself on Legendary, with all of the skulls on (skulls make the enemies tougher, make it so that you have no radar etc.) Only 2 people have ever done this on every single level so I'm going to have to work hard.

GIRLS IN VIDEO GAMES:

This is kind of controversal and im going to get called sexist for it, but oh well. On Xbox Live the vast majority of players are males. But there are some girl gamers. The problem is, is that many girl gamers sound like the annoying little kids that play. Why am I telling you this? Well, one of my friends online I thought was just some kid who's balls haven't dropped, but I just found out that 'he' is really a 'she'. So I have to wonder, how many of the stupid little kids on Xbox live are really girls? I once said before that I have pink armor in Xbox live, my mic is also broken. So alot of people who haven't known me before my mic broke think I'm a chick. thats really annoying. Some people ask me 'why do you have pink armor'. The answer is simple, 'camoflauge'

PLANS:

Today at 3, im going to my friend's sister's going to collage party.

On the 12th of July my family is going to Cape Cod for a week.

I have missed a couple of anime saturday nights on Adult Swim. Normally I would just go to youtube to watch them, but I haven't done that and I really need to do that this week to get back on scheduel.

In this blog I will be using the term 'football'. This term refers to the American form of football.

As some of you know, I am doing JV football this upcoming school year. I did Frank Baker football (a local non-school related football league for 5th grade and 6th grade) and modified football in 7th grade. However, I did not do football for 8th grade or Freshman year. So Im out of shape, well, I was out of shape in 7th grade too, but that didn't stop me.

On the 25th The JV team (which is just sophmores) went to get their helmets, Shoulder Pads and lockers. But my dad made me late, but I wasn't a big deal, unlike if I were in Varsity. We currently only have 24 players, we might get more, but it looks like everyone is going to start. (you need 22 starters and some postitions like Wide Reciever, Conerback, and devensive line have varying starters.

So, since I'm most likely going to start this year I have starting using the dumbells I got for Christmas a couple years ago. This is NOT the first time that I have used them. But its the first time in a long time. I like lifting dumbells, I could do it for hours, if i could. I tend to lift with my right arm more than my left, so my arms look lopsided (My right arm is larger than my left) You wouldn't normally notice it, but if I put my arms out next to each other you would notice. I lifted for about half-an-hour before I wrote this blog, my arms feel kind of weird and I'm worried that they might hurt tommorrow morning. Oh well, Its all part of the experience. Im hoping to lift weights every other day all summer to help me get a little bit more ready for the football practices. Football practice the toughest thing that you will ever have to do in your life. You don't have to run 3 miles, but you have to as much work as any other sport, but wearing a helmet, shoulderpads and padded pants.

HISTORY LESSON:

I just want to tell you about my football experince in grades 5-7.

5th grade:

In 5th grade i did Frank Baker football. The teams in Frank Baker consisted of 5th graders and 6th graders. 5th graders played 2nd and 4th quarters and 6th graders played 1st and 3rd quaters. there was also a 5th 'quater' where both 5th and 6th graders played. There wasn't 22 5th graders and 22 6th graders, so you would play both defense and offense. I wasn't that good, but I was tall for my age. So I was tight end. In the NFL the tight end is a combination of a offensive linesmen and wide reciever. In frankbaker a tight end is someone who is not big enough to be a linesmen and not fast enough to be a wide reciever. I never had much ball time and I hated blocking. On defense I was a linebacker. I wasn't that good, but it was better than tight end. Our team went 6 and 0 (meaning we never lost)

6th grade:

6th grade was where it got better. I was still a tight end/ linebacker but during the secound half of the season (theres 6 games spread over a period of 6 weeks, and practice starts sometime in the summer) the coach, and I, found out that I could run very fast. on the 3rd game my team (the giants) were playing the steelers. We were either losing or tied with little time left. We had the ball on their 3 yard line and my coach wanted me to a special running play. It was just a pitch to the left side. The only difference was that I was the half-back. Well, we ran the play and I scored. I can remember every one on the running over to me. I was completely surronded by my teameates. We won the game and really earned a lot of respect. Over the next 3 games my coach ran the play about 3 times each game. Everytime I would either get stopped in the backfield or make 40+ yard run. I scored 3 times in 4 games. I just want to make a note, I never started as a halfback, I also was a tight-end on offense, expect when we did the one play. This year our team won 5 times and tied once.

this is what the play would look like. 4B= some weird postition that I don't really know about.

7th grade:

In 7th grade I did modified football. this was the school league football. This year went basically the same as 5th grade execpt I was a Wide reciever on offense and defensive end on defense.

SICKNESS:

Well, this morning, when I woke up I felt extremely sick. My mouth was really dry, I felt like I was going to throw up and I was starving, but I felt like if I ate something I would get sick. I was too sick to go to school to take my regents so now I have to wait until August to take the regents exam. I'll have to study a lot this summer so I don't forget everything. My stomach has been feeling pretty bad all day and I've had an on/off headache.

DREAMS:

Last night I had some dream that I can't really remember, but I had something to do with my not being able to take the Regents exam.

But, When I was home sick today, I fell asleep and had a really weird dream. I this dream I had stayed home from the regents because I was sick, like real life. I was on one of the streets in the residentail areas in my city and there were about 7 other kids from my grade there to. Then I think I woke up at my school and one of the nurses said that I still had enough time to take my regents. So I started taking it, but there was something wrong and I couldn't take my test. After the test some girl from my science course that I barely know, showed me some weird growth on her hand. Then I woke up (for real). I had a freakin dream with a dream in it. I might even of had a dream with a dream with a dream. But I'm not sure. Just thought I'd let you know.

This blog is about video games and maybe some other stuff I think about while wrighting this blog.

Yesterday (sunday) I downloaded the demo of Battlefield: Bad Company for the 360 and it is freakin sweet. I might buy some time this summer. I've been playing that game non-stop for since yesterday, and even though its just a demo, its that good.

Today (Monday) I had to mow both my lawn, grind away the rust on the porch railings with some steel wool on a drill then I started spray painting it. But I stopped painting it after 2 minutes because I didn't have one of the masks. Then I went to my local Gamestop, Game Craz and Wal-mart looking for Beutifal Katamari. (you know, that one game with the little guy who pushes the ball that picks up still and gets bigger and bigger). Well, none of those stores had it, so I had to order it only at walmart.com. It'll get here later this week. I've been meaning to get that game for a long, but this is the first time that I actually went out to get. While I was at Wal-Mart, I started looking for another game to buy, but it turns out, once a game costs less then $30 they stop selling it, but I saw Advance Wars: Days of Ruin for the DS. I been promising esquinsovrensic (sorry for the spelling) that i'd get it, but I only had 30 dollars with at the time and the game cost about $33 (with taxes) so I was pretty disapointed.

Tommorrow (Tuesday) I have to go back to school at 7:30 to take the science regents. After that I'll probably have to spray paint the porch railings. The paint the porch itself.

on the 25th I have to get my football equipment

on the 12th(of July) I leave for Cape Cod with my family for a week.

Well, i've decided to take a break from my Xbox 360 play to let you all know how im doing. Well, today I played tennis with my friend, I haven't played in about a month so my game was REALLy off. I returned Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, but my library didn't have any other Halo books so i didn't another book.

Well, Xbox is just the same as before. I have over 90 friends and I never have more than 20 people on at the same time. And less then never more than 5 people playing a game that i have. And those that are, I can't join their game. But Frontline Fuels of War is doing really good. I found it to just funner and funner. It hasn't really been freezing up as much as it did before I sent my Xbox back so thats good.

I have to cut this blog short, but I hope to be on tv.com more. To, you know, ruin the forums.

Xbox here, no time to talk. send Estey a friend request for Halo 3. Bye

Song of the Blog (which is also a video made by me)

http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nog_foARZM&feature=user

Well, the first thing is that I finally fulfilled a promise I made about making a video. Today I edited and uploaded a video onto youtube that I made using The Sims 2. It isn't really anything that I planned and it just happened. I forgot to adjust the video quality, so I ended up with a very bad quality video. I hope to make longer, more quality videos this summer. One of the guys in the video is modeled after an adult version of me. Try to guess which one it is.

Today is the day Im suppose to get my Xbox back, I was going to make a video about me cleaning up my room, discounting and hiding my PS2 so my Xbox won't get jealous and then show me getting the package from the UPS guy and signing the little sign sheet, go up to my room, hook up the Xbox, start it, get my Halo 3 disc from its Collecter's Edition case and start playing Halo 3 Ranked Big Team Battle for the double XP month, but I don't have a video camera so that little project got shot down in flames.

But im really looking forward to it nonetheless.

Oh yeah, In case you didn't realize it, the link to my video is the song of the blog, by reading this blog, even a single word of it, you are legally obliged to click on that link and give me my precious views and 5 star ratings even though the video quality is poor becasue i forget to adjust the video quality options.

And finally, I just want to let everyone know that I am one of the greatest Halo 3 energy swordsman there are. When I play swords, I get at least 20 kills every game and die less then 8 times.

Tommorrow (monday, June 16, 200 is my last day of school for this year. I have 3 exams to take tommorrow (math, german and Global Studies). Then I have to return to school on June 24 for about 3 hours to take the science regents. In the rest of my subjects, in which I am not taking an exam, Im either watching a movie, or doing somekind of project (which is build a house using a house-making program in DDP)

"Xbox withdrawl syndrome" was what DrAvtr used to describe the way that im reacting to my sudden decline in Xbox fun. Tuesday, my first day of summer vacation, is when my xbox is suppose to arrive. I no longer know if it is coming on time because Microsoft no longer has the tracking number on the update page. This probably because they must think that i have recieved or there is a limited time on how long they keep the tracking number up. Either way, i never wrote down the tracking number so Im clueless on its arrival. Im going to need my Xbox this summer, there rarely anything good on TV so my Xbox should be able help me cope with boredom.

Today was father's day, so my family went to our grampa and grandmas' house. However, my mom locked us out of the house and I had to climb through my bedroom window to unluck the front door. Also, today I saw Pirates of the Carribean: At worlds end, for the first time. It was pretty good, but there were some confusing parts that i think should of been explained.

Also, I wanted to make a link to the last game that I won on Halo 3. Even though in halo 3, if you finish in the top 50% of the field you get exp.(for example if there 8 teams, or in free-for-all, 8 people, finishing 4th or better will get you exp, if there are 5 teams, or 5 people in free-for-all, finishing in 3rd will get you exp. I consider "winning" coming in first place.

Well... I just realized a fatal mistake that I have made...

When checking the status of my Xbox on ups.com, I realized that it showed the destinated arrival time. And now I know why Microsoft Said that It would 2 weeks for my xbox to arrive instead of 1. My Xbox isn't suppose to get here until the 17th. 4 days from now! I can't believe that I didn't see that earlier.

I was completely looking forward to enjoying my weekend playing my Xbox 360. But now i have to spend my next 4 days waiting in anticipation for my Xbox's arrival. I may get lucky and it might arrive sonner than expected, but I don't think thats very likely.

I really pissed off at myself, I had my entire weekend planned around my 360. I was even going to do somekind of video about me getting from the ups guy. I truly wish that I hadn't waited so long to get my Xbox back. I could of really used the motivation it gave me to get through the school day. For the first couple of weeks I was able to play my PS2, but since I only have 1 shooter for my PS2 Its fun ran out quickly. I finished Halo: Ghosts of Onyx and I might spend tommorrow getting a new book to take its place. But the simple fact that my hopes were dashed so suddenly and so close to the arrival of my xbox, its getting hard for me to do stuff other than just watching tv.

Well, most of my finals start tommorrow. I already took my DDP part A and C yesterday(wednsday) and today (thursday). I took part C and not B because if I pass part C I will recieve to points of college credit for RIT (a major college in my state). I took my English final today.

For the finals that start tommorrow are: German, Math and Global Studies. Then I have to take part II for these exams on monday, which will be my last day of school this school year.

Preparing for the arrival of my Xbox 360:

as many of you know, I'm expected to get my Xbox back saturday after more than a month with out my Xbox. As soon as I learned about my Xbox's return I began preparing by making me want to play Halo 3 very desperitly. I did so by the following methods:

1. Watching every single episode of Arby 'n' the Chief

2. Constantly checking roosterteeth's website for new episodes of Red vs Blue: Reconstruction

3. Spending at least 1 hour of my day on halo.wikia just reading random articles

4. Constantly checking Bungie's official website for updates on Halo 3 and double EXP weekends that i'll be missing out on.

5. Reading all of the Halo-related articles in my GamePro magizens.

6. I borrowed Halo: Ghost of Onyx from the library yesterday and have spent at least 10 hours just between then and now reading the book. (Im almost finshed, just 40 pages left)

7. I'm going to go buy Halo 2 sometime tommorrow (friday) if I get the time. Even though my Xbox won't get here until at least saturday. And if it doesn't get here on saturday It'll probably wont get here until Monday.

8. I actually started writing some fan-fiction.

9. Reading about the upcoming Halo RTS coming out exclusivly for the Xbox 360; Halo Wars. (which I will buy)

There are probably even more things that I have been doing without even realizing it.

As you can see, by now I am like a crack-head in rehab.

I just hope this doesn't effect my exam scores... on secound thought...

today when I checked the status of my xbox it said 'Device shipped to customer - Your console has been repaired or replaced. We are shipping it back to you.'

Christ, I have been waiting for this moment for almost a month (not that i sent in my xbox a month ago, it was a month ago that my Xbox broke.)

However, I fear the fact that my Xbox is being shipped back so soon. I think that, for some reason, the people who inspected my xbox found some form of tampering with it so they're shipping it back wihout repairing it. This really worries me (NOTE: I NEVER tampered with my Xbox) its just that im unlucky enough for them to find something that would lead them to believe that i may of tampered with it.
