Hey again. I started a new blog as part of a school project.
I hope you like it.

See you...sometime.

I'm DONE, Sort of...

2011-01-21T21:55:00.000-08:00

Hi. It's been a while, what with midterms and all, but I'm here.
My neighbor showed me a really cool thing:
Free Legal Ipod-compatible files!

-Download RealPlayer. It should be a big package with
"RealPlayer Downloader" in it, too.

-Go to pandora.com , and find music you like.
Download it and convert it into an AAC, or MP3/4.

That's pretty much it.

Slammed!!

2011-01-05T17:15:00.000-08:00

AAAH! MIDERMS (but worse!) School's started up again, and now I'm dealing with the Jr. High equivalent of "Mid Terms."
(Though I have it much, much worse, obviously...)

I'll be pressed for time for the next week and a 1/2, so good-bye for now...

Merry Fish...Er, Christmas!

2010-12-26T09:38:00.000-08:00

Hey! Hope you had a GREAT Christmas. I did. I enjoyed family and friends and got some cool gifts, like Munchkin, and other things, too.

Does anybody know what Boxing Day is?

Chistmas is coming...

2010-12-19T19:11:00.000-08:00

Every Christmas season for the past 4 years, I've made these: Candy Trains.
While it's obviusly too late this year, I might sell 'em next year on my blog!
They're very successful, and I've gotten over $200 in PROFIT!

Mulah!

2010-12-16T15:59:00.000-08:00

I have a HUGE collection of Foreign Currency, and recently I started taking some shots of 'em.

Here's a 1953 Chinese Bill:

LEGO!

2010-12-10T20:31:00.000-08:00

Did you know that I, Mʁ. Hill, have started ANOTHER blog? It's under my same Mʁ. Hill profile,
but it's all about LEGO!! To get to it, press on my picture d' profile, and under the blogs section,
click on "LEGO Embassy to the world." It's just a blog to broadcast LEGO-related things.

As someone in the online LEGO community, I use Flickr as an outlet for sharing my MOCs.
Find me on Flickr under the profile name PlayR 1.

Heyy-o!

2010-12-01T07:15:00.000-08:00

Hello again! If' you looked at the time I wrote this, you might notice that this is just slightly after
the time my schooling would start. That's because school got "snowed out!"

I have the day off, AND I might get Thursday off, too! On the downside, it's snowing insanely now,
and it's hard to drive around now.

Moving on, it seems there might be some radio advertising for me to do sometime soon as a
special "Game Guru." That means I'd probably advertise Gran Turismo 5!
If I can get enough money to significantly chip in to a PS3, then, well I'd get a PS3.

And finally, now that it's that special time of year (when FM and AM blast songs that all talk about Christmas for about a month...) Xmas time is also the time I start up "my little business."
I make these little candy trains, and I might start doing dog treats this year, as well.

Play Station--does the figure $360 matter?

2010-11-21T19:21:00.000-08:00

This is the Play Station 3. It has a slogan: It only does EVERYTHING. You might have seen that in the Gran Turismo 5 vids. This piece of metal, plastic, and some other stuff comes in at $300.

Is this asking to much for a machine with over 100 Gigabytes of memory BUILT IN?
(If the "100 Gigabytes" doesn't make sense, my I-Pod is 2 Gigs-I have over 130 songs on it,
and it's just over half-way full!) Is this too much? I think not! On the other hand, controllers cost
$50 EACH, and the most popular games -cough cough Gran Turismo 5 cough- come in at a
whopping $60! Is that too much? I think so! Think about it--for me and my dad to play Gran Turismo 5 together on the cheapest PS3 (160GB-$300) would cost an extra $110 on top of the
300 dollar console!

When you do shell out $360+ to play Gran Turismo, however, it all melts away...
Think about THIS:
1000 cars for you to drive
A cutting edge physics engine
NASCAR, Kart, Drift, Rally, and street styles of racing
A "Racing Manager" class of racing for your drivers
Realism like shown below:

Reality ......................................................Gran Turismo 5

Now should be a good time to pick your jaw up off of the floor.

Do you see why the figure "$360" floats away when you pop in Gran Turismo for the first time?
I do.

MOCs, Bricks, and IPVs!

2010-11-19T20:39:00.000-08:00

'Ello! Again! You can see that I'm getting into uploading secret files from my module more often now.

As you all know (or are about to,) I really like LEGO bricks...

Here are some "EPIC" pictures of my LEGO MOCS (MOC is My Own Creation.)
They are not professionally taken. I did this in my living room.

Here is my Jeep, which is actually a "redo" of a LEGO Toy Story set.

This is completely mine. I built this car, which I have branded as the
"Marooho Kadet," and I estimate that it took 5-6 hours to build.
The great thing about LEGO is that you buy it to make something,
tear it up and build something even better!

I got 90% of a $10 set in trade for just ONE LEGO helmet from my friend. It was
a small spaceship, and I took it apart and made this little IPV
(Interplanetary Personal Vehicle (I coined the term myself.))

I hope you can appreciate how good of a job I did with these MOCs.
(Not to brag!)
-Mʁ. Hill

Videos good?

2010-11-18T12:29:00.000-08:00

I hope you liked those videos. They came from a brand spankin' new video game called "Gran Turismo 5." It's actually not a new game, but the 5th generation part is new.

Gran Turismo 5 features over 1000 cars, each with cutting edge physics and graphics.
The Gran Turismo game has always lived up to its slogan: "The real driving simulator."

More vids soon...

Hello!

2010-10-11T08:58:00.000-07:00

Hello! It's almost My B-day--my first in Boise! I am also Enjoying my school finally!-G

Ummm...

It's been a while...
But GOSH, school takes a Tonne outta you!
(oh, gee too much BBC: they spell words differently in Britain!)
In fact, I'm watching "Doctor Who" right now--but "Top Gear" is better!
Well, Shcool is soo infuriating...I gotta go now.

Gobs of paper-and Plastic!

2010-05-07T10:10:00.000-07:00

Sham-WOW! I'm back--and more addictive than crack!
I bet you haven't heard [but I wish you did] about my Dad's new book [free advertizing here--] "The Virtues of Capitalsim" by, well you know who.
If you don't know anything about economics, but want to--buy the book--and if you do know about economics--buy this book--BUT if you don't care about economics--don't even bother wasting that dough!

Now if I were write a book, I think I would call it "Gobs and Gobs of Plastic Stuff" and it would be about *cough-duh-cough-cough* LEGO products. I might be writing something--but I don't know--remember the 70's book & the beaded lizards? Sorry about those. That's why I'm not going to say that I'm writing a book!!

Well, see ya for now--sorry It's been so loooong.-G

Ida...wait, I'll let you guess where I am...

2010-04-03T09:54:00.000-07:00

Dog-gone

2010-02-17T18:01:00.000-08:00

Sasha WAS put down after all...During our trip, too! We are sad, but not to bad anymore...
It HAS been a-while since she left us, and now we need to shift into full gear as we pack up,

So many good-byes to say--one sooner than we thought.-G

2010-02-04T10:38:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since I have last blogged...And I'm in Boise on a trip to find some rental houses.

We have a crisis with the dog, Sasha. It looks like she has an Auto-Immune disease...

Our very helpful friends have agreed to take care of her until our return on Superbowl Sunday.

It sounds like 50/50 or less right now, but it could get better eventually...However, we do need

to come to terms with the loss of such a beautiful, fun dog. We ask for your prayer. Thanks.-G

Secret stuff!

2010-01-18T08:11:00.000-08:00

If you read my blog (word-press) then you might know that I'm back from CA! When I was there,
I went to a shooting range. Photos later!-G

CA: again?

2009-12-21T08:58:00.000-08:00

Yeah, I'm going back to CA! (this is probably the last time that we'll go to Santa
Barbra from Phoenix! Pretty coo' huh?

Yesterday My Family opened Gifts. I got a Wii Game (Guinness World Records
the videogame) , Two old LEGO sets (I plan to trade them in), an AWESOME
pack of 2 LEGO books 1. "The LEGO book" about the history and future of the
brick; 2. "STANDING SMALL: celebrating 30 years of the minifigure" about
the minifig and it's sub-culture., and I also got 2 mechanical pencils (My mom had
two of the same, and I always tried to use them, but she wouldn't let me...)
so, thanks Mom/Dad! My Dad/I got my mom a GPS (she wants to go geo-cashing...)

anyway, I'll be seeing YOU next year!-G

You Cannot get ridda me.

2009-12-11T17:11:00.000-08:00

Well, you cannot get ridda me! I still get people to look at this 'stablishmen'
on the Web...So I just decided (On the Spot!) that I'll put "Secret" posts
containin' stuff not found on my Wordpress 'sablishment! Tehehe...
See ya!-G

P.S., I know you may find it suprising that I haven't mentioned this,
but I am about to leave for CA. I am goin' with my Dad to see some
ol' Orange County friends...See ya!-G

This...Is...Goodbye!

2009-12-03T07:30:00.000-08:00

Yup, I'm moving to wordpress...Infact, I already did! To come on down,
click HERE ! I still need to build on the custom domains like grahamhillblog.com .
I hope you spread the word! This blog stands as a library of previous posts.
so that it is NOT deleted, I'll log in here occasionally so that Blogger sees that
I still care!-G

Is this...Goodbye!?

2009-11-25T11:46:00.000-08:00

*Sniff* *Snuffle*

This...IS... ... ...G-g-good-d-dby-y-ye!
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
Well, not yet. I am announcing that I am
switching...to Wordpress! Yes, the time HAS
come. I plan to leave this Blog site here
(not delete it) as a kind of memorial.
I will put the last post on here with a link to the
new blog soon. Nothing further to report.

Please Note: this post will remain on www.grahamhillblog.com
for some time, but will be updated before the last post is issued.

Big time Bow!

2009-11-24T08:41:00.000-08:00

Obama, Obama, Obama!

This news you may recall, but there is a NEW addition!
See this video? this was 'The Anointed One' bowing to
The Japanese leader, VS. all the 46 other leaders
that met the Japanese leader...And didn't BOW!

Huh.
But NOW, he's bowed to the Chinese 'overseer'
Japan was, methinks, okay,
but bowing to the COMMUNIST LEADER
OF CHINA IS DESPICABLE!

Reagan would never, ever event THINK to bow down
to Lenin, or Putin, or however the leader of USSR's
name was (but it probably ended in "V"!)

Exactly!-G

2009-11-17T11:09:00.000-08:00

First of all, I really wanted to congratulate "Obama an' Friends"
for "creating/saving" jobs in Congressional districts...that don't
ACTUALLY EXIST!...oh, wait! That isn't a good thing...Never mind--
I DON'T congratulate ANYBODY that does good things in areas of
the country that DON'T EXIST!

Anyway, I'd like to change the subject...
Shall we jump?

Yeah. That's me. It's all pretty casual though.
I think it's fun!-G

Le Collection de photos

2009-11-15T20:18:00.001-08:00

It's been a while since my birthday, and you're probably wondering "where o
where are all the photos G said he'd put on his blog?" Well--I have some

but they're not all related. so here they are!
An otter at the PHX zoo in...PHX! isn't she sinister looking?

Hay! no-really. Feedin' zebras at PHX zoo in PHX.
A camel...at the PHX zoo in PHX!

I was trying to make a stop-motion video with LEGO bricks & minifigs.
It didn't work so well...
Finally, a cute picture of my dog, Sasha.

I told you they were unrelated!-G

Obama, one to many!

2009-11-10T19:10:00.000-08:00

OK.
Get ready...
Seriously, get ready...
NOW!

OK, OK!
this Obama guy is buggin' me.
Not just WHAT he's doin, but
the media attention is...INSANE!
On KTAR or KIDO (no offense)
Everybody says (seemingly simultaneously)
"OBAMA!"
Every day, everywhere,
someone one some news station is saying the
"O" word.
I cannot exist (it seems) without seeing hearing, or
otherwise acknowledging Barack O***a!
(it's not a bad word, but it got old...a year ago)

My hearing will, eventually, be destroyed by a new threat--
"Obama-over-publicising-icitis"

SERIOUSLY!
(g'night!)-G

The NEW DS plan!

2009-11-05T17:59:00.000-08:00

I already have a DS, but I have a plan to GET a DS...shell.

"Shell?" you say? Yes. Shell. I mean the plastic [shell] that covers the
electronics.

It is possible, hard, but possible to change the shell.
I hope to do that this christmas season in Santa Barbra.
I'm going to get a very special custom shell
(w/a matching set of buttons, and a stylus.)
and, somehow, get the old one off.

The shell is a clear transparent one, and the buttons are clear,
and the stylus is...you guessed it...CLEAR!
In other words, it should be see-through!

See ya (pun INTENDED!)-G

'Hey, I'm moving to Idaho!'

2009-10-28T11:21:00.000-07:00

Hello again! I had my 11th B-day party on Saturday.
I thank everybody for coming, and for the cool gifts.

I have a ton of money saved up, and I'm going to the
PHX LEGO store soon (Woo Hoo!) I hope I can get
some cool LEGO sets!

My dad gave me the 'honor' of doing another chore.
Watering the winter lawn! Yea...
It's not as fun as it looks, but hey, I can listen to
my I-pod whilst I do so.

If you're wondering what we're doing to get ready for
Idaho--we haven't really done anything--yet.
You might think that I would be thinking a lot
about Idaho. I do, but usually I just think,
'Hey, I'm moving all the way to Idaho!'
and 'Hey, it's sure darn cold there!'

That's all-G

Technology Today...

2009-10-23T09:57:00.001-07:00

Technology today makes old electronic...things...look like...old electronic things (because they are!) For instance, my mom/dad share a digital camera, with 5.1 Mega Pixels.Theirs has a small screen to see what you are taking a photo of.It's three or four years old, and cost around $200-300.Mine, on the other hand, has 10.1 MP, a much larger screen, more settings,and cost less than $150. I got it less then a week ago.That's just one example of how many technologies have gotten better, while becoming cheaper. To some, it may seem that there is always a new camera, videogame, phone, Ipod, or some other electronic "gadget" out. I understand anybody who feels that way.

Yes, and tech in 30 years 'll probably be unthinkable...

I leave you with these words.-G

Obamabucks! pre-order yours today!

2009-10-22T12:17:00.000-07:00

Yeah, that's cool news (see post below)

(well, it's cool news to me, anyway.)

This will be fun (ya know, with the camera an' all.)

Not to change the subject COMPLETELY [but I'm gonna anyway.]

I think Obama knows what he's doing...destroying the U.S. [of] A.

He's loading every single company up with "Obamabucks"

(soon to replace the USD!)

But now the companies are being told to X the budget of their

execs by...90%!

I thought that was bad--Did YOU get a stimulus check?

Did Obama tell YOU what you'll buy with it?

Probably not.

I am not told by Obama what video games to buy.

He didn't tell me what color my camera would be.

If I gave $250 [which means...nothing on the

"Government Spending o-meter"]

to the Red Cross, I wouldn't have the right to tell the Red Cross

what to spend it on.

So, please, take your slice of the Obamabucks pie today,

If you wish to be destroyed by Obamabucks, inc.

(a.k.a. the U.S.A. government)

You know, this Obama man and his Obamanations and ideas--

it's so easy to see the WRONGNESS that just leaks out of him ans

his ideas. You can just smell the reek of wrong.

I leave you with these words.-G

(AWESOME) happy B-day to me!

2009-10-20T20:54:00.000-07:00

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!

My 11th Birthday!
For my birthday, I got a new digital camera!
I took the picture above with my camera and edited in in "iPhoto."
My mom put that sign on the wall in the hallway that I go
in/out of to get to my room.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!?

This means that there will be move videos on my blog!
This is something that I think you will enjoy.

At Best buy today (we searched about eight stores to get the "right"
camera this morning. We got my cam at Wal-Mart.)
I saw this weird camera called "the Bean." it is a ultra portable-camera,
...and you can wear it on your head...
(via a head band that conects to the Bean.)

I've been saying that it would be fun to have a hat/camera to make
"Graham's eye veiw" videos! I think I might get one eventually...

Well I have to hit the hay now, so G'night!-G

2009-10-18T08:47:00.000-07:00

My apologies-- (man, I say that a lot!) --for not blogging lately.
I haven't been able to use a PC very much recently.

Well, this week is important! The day after tomorrow, I have
a Birthday. Yup!
Then , in a few weeks, there's Halloween.

If you've been listening to my dad's show, you probably 've
heard the intro. I am th one saying "5-8--0--K-I-D--O"
not to brag, but I think that sounds cool.
To Listen in on 580 AM KIDO, go to THIS website.
The Austin Hill Show airs mon-fri 3PM-6PM mountain time,
2PM-5PM pacific.

Thanks for reading/listening!-G

Coming soon to a Graham near you...

2009-10-05T09:28:00.000-07:00

Uh-huh. It's October! October 5th, in fact! Do you know what's in October?
(31 Days! Halloween! Fall! Nice cool weather!) and, My/My friend's B-day.
Yup. I know someone who's just 18 days older than me.
And I have 15 (two weeks, one day) till another B-day. Then there's Halloween.
Dentists' nightmare, Kids' heaven. Sorta. Kinda. Not quite.

Good bye now!-G

Duct-tape? On your car? Okay.

2009-10-01T08:29:00.000-07:00

Hello! Have you heard of THIS? I never knew how many dummies there were
in the world! Seriously. I think you should look at it, if you hesitate.

Moving on--My dad wanted me to say that I did voice-over work.
It's HERE. I did that at my house. Too bad-My voice is from a MIC,
and then the host is on a lil' phone.

I think I should go now. Bye!-G

LONGER school year!?

2009-09-29T08:57:00.000-07:00

Help! Obama wants to make the (public) school year/day/week longer!

Uh...we need better...education, Mr. Presi-dent-my-head (because your
just above the INSANE! line on the crazy-o-meter!)
You do realize that I "dropped out" of a Charter School because it was to
EASY! Well , not everyone does that, but I know plenty of ahead-o'-the-class
kids, and all (save THREE) are stuck in the doldrums of the Public Schools.
Too bad. I am sick of Public schools. I learn more in less time, and
I get more sleep! No more cruddy, ruddy school lunches!
No bullies, etc.

See ya! I have to go do Home School Obama!-G

A day in the Life

sorry I didn't reply to your comment about
Idaho. I just didn't see anything to reply to.
That's all.

I think I'm in a rut...I think I'm in a rut...I think I'm in a rut...

2009-09-26T19:30:00.000-07:00

OK--I know that I should put "summore" stuff on my blog--
I can't seem to think of any great, significant things to write about.

This is what I do have (please don't fall asleep) [zzzzzz...]

"I slept over at my friend's house last night.
That was fun!
I have soccer practice (which started a few weeks ago)
on Monday and Thursday. We won the first game, about 5-2.
Then we were CRUSHED by the next team, about 6-1!"

But is that really really REALLY Interesting? Would you say "Hey,
that's REALLY COOL!" I don't really think you would. I wouldn't.

So...I think you get my point.

However, I have something that you MIGHT like...

Today, I connected me/my friends' Wii over Wi-Fi.

(Connecting is done by exchanging your Wii's personal code

received by the other, and confirmation.)

We both have the same game, so we could play Multi-Player

with out being in the same room!

I hope you liked it!-G

I_____, as in--well to find out, read THIS!

2009-09-19T22:10:00.000-07:00

YES!

THE TIME HAS COME!

[drum roll...] [Graham enter stage right]

Okay, okay.

do you really want to know what I_____ is?

REALLY?

Really really really really really really really really really really really really really?

Really?

Ok. Fine. Be that way. I knew what you wanted all along.

So here it is.

I is not Indiana. I is not Illinois. I is not any-other-thing that starts with an I

execpt I--now for a quick word with our sponsors...
[Graham mumbling-"we don't have...any sponsors...at all."]

Oh. In that case, I will tell you what I_____ is.
[but wait!] Ok. I is for *mumble*.
I IS FOR *MUMBLE*.
I-IS-FOR-*MUMBLE*!

I IS FOR IDAHO!
AND O IS FOR "OH MY WOOF!"

So, uh, now you know. Good night.
(Click "Read more" NOW!)
Okay--you finally know!
Well, yeah. Now I will explain.
Well, My dad knew that this offer looked tasty, so he looked into it.
LOOOOOONG story short, Austin (or dad, depending on who you are)
signed the contract from 580 KIDO (Boise) (and that's who's in the photo)
The Austin Hill Show (AHS) begins on Thursday Sept. 24 (2009)
on 580 KIDO.

G'night!-G

P.S., you're very lucky; this news doesn't break *officially*
until Wednesday Sept. 23 2009.-G

P.P.S., I'm leaving this up for a while,
so everyone finds out 'bout the BIG NEWS!-G

It snows in I______, but it just burns in AZ!

2009-09-15T11:21:00.000-07:00

Hello Readers! I really would like to get a custom blog (not blob)

page. I have an idea of what would--might work.

I also would like to get a portable camera, and

put it on a hat (and wear the hat, of course)

So you could see my life. Would you like that?

When/if I move, I could show you the

capitol (or is it capital?) of I_____!

It snows in I_____! I've been in snow...what--twice?

And it was never good for making snowballs.

So, I've never ever made one that doesn't

just crumble in your hand.

When it snows, I'm gonna make a bump (out of snow)

in the driveway, and put water on it (so that it freezes!)

Hehehehehe.

Well, bye for now.-G

A day in the Life

Oh, those lizards! I thought you meant those passengers.

I will try to stay cool, but soon it will be "cold."

That is, cold for an Arizonan.-G

The future holds...what?

2009-09-14T09:05:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone! I still can't tell you what _____ means, so I'm
probably moving to I_____.

Anyway, I've been thinking
about getting design for my blog,
And maybe switching to "Wordpress,"
Blogger's only naughty word
(what the wordpress are you doing!)
I have in mind what exactly I'd like to do--sorta.
I also think you (the reader) might like
the camera-on-hat thing. I could show you I_____!
I, for one, think you would like I_____.
I think something might work here...but I don't know.

So, now that you have no idea of what might be able
to happen here, I'm gonna say "Goodbye!"
(In fact, I just did!)-G

A day in the Life
Good morning from Gilbert, AZ!
Thanks for looking at my blog!
What exactly did you mean when you said "The lizards are asleep."
You brought lizards to GERMANY?
Okay--be that as it may, thanks again! I think the photos from

THX Click Chick!

2009-09-11T16:39:00.000-07:00

Hello, again (this routine gets old, but what else am I supposed to do!?)

Have you heard of the movie "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs?"
It comes out (to the theaters) on the 18th (of September-not Oct!)
However, I'm seeing it on the 12th (tomorrow)!
"How?" you ask? Well, Gayle Bass, a.k.a. "the Click Chick"
Movie Critique, Trekkie (maybe--I can't tell), blogger (not on Blogger,

on www.KTAR.com) Has put me/my dad on the "Pre-screening"

List! So I'll check back and tell you how it was (or you could check
out the Click Chick's blog (*sniff*))
Yeah...Not to brag...
Also, Ankarlo returns to the KTAR station!
Thank god he's been able to recover!

Oh--you're wondering where I'm going? I STILL CAN'T TELL YOU!
sorry. The other station in _____,I_____ Are being careful how they
word the contract, which isn't necessarily bad. It's just time-taking.
So--I'll talk (or blog. I usually blog, not talk.) soon!-G

A day in the Life
Ha ha ha! It's good that O"bomb"a didn't shut Life of a Gregarious Graham down. I enjoy making vids and pics for all to see. Unfortunatley, I don't have my own camera/computer. If only the funds were around! Well, I guess I'll have to be content--for now. I think I should get a computer soon. I think I have uses that make it worthwile...like my blog! I would like to change my blog--maybe even take it off blogger! I'm thinking maybe a custom HTML design, and some gadgets.

Thanks!-G

Fun-Fun-Ice?

2009-09-02T09:36:00.000-07:00

OK--okay. Yeah--I haven't been blogging. I've been a lil' ill lately.
I have a sore throat, pressure in my head/sinuses--and it doesn't help.
NOT ONE LITTLE BIT DOES IT HELP!
Anyway...

I've been having my friends over, starting yesterday (Friday) .
Yesterday, My Brit friend (MBF, of course!) came over. My other Friends
'Cross the Street (F'CS, obviously!) went out of town the day before, and
were gonna have some good ol' frozen steak delivered (to their house (the
one they live in.)) Long story short, we go some dry ice that was in the
steak box. My dad called MBF and I into the bathroom, where he put the dry ice
in the toilet! Today, my dad went and bought some more (ice, dry)
for my Next Group of Friends (NGF[s]). He split it in half, 0.5 of it in the Think-Tank, 0.5 of it was played with by my NGF[S] and I.
I discovered that if you put water on dry ice (and it stays on the DI)
AND you put pressure (e.g., with a stick) on the water, it freezes!
Cool (literally!)

Oh, yeah, this is a video my NGF[S] , my mom and I made.
That is DI (Dry Ice) in the toilet. And I'm playing "Jimmy." I plan to
post it on YouTube. That's why I didn't use my REAL name. Sorry It's side-ways.
That's the way my mom (camerama-woman) did it.
I like to think of that as "the toilet o' doom!)
THX!
Anyway, I must depart now.-G

A day in the Life I do not know what "long Johns" are. I accidentally rejected your message, but this is the reply.

P.S., (this does not correspond to A day in the Life)
Are the Top Gear videos slowing down your computer?
If so, comment. If I get five comments askin' that I take 'em off,
I will.-G

Goodbye Blog!?

2009-08-28T12:31:00.000-07:00

Why? Why!

If you support Obama still, go to Russia or China.
Okay--This morning, news breaks--Obama could "traffic"
the INTERNET! Now, the internet isn't always that great, but that doesn't mean
Obama should watch everything. We Don't need "Big Brother" from 1984 again.
So now, you can get sick, go to a hospital for FREE, and not be able to say
"goodbye" on Facebook while you die. What'll happen to Blogger!?
Goodbye Youtube. toodles, Google. God Help us!
Sorry 'Bama, But the hammer/sickle DOES NOT BELONG ON THE AMERICAN FLAG!

This is stupidity. Next, we'll have "Pet Regulations" so as to "keep the public safe
from venomous snakes, and biting creatures." And "Benjamins for Bungalows"--
Rent out a spare house to a government employee and be payed.
And maybe in the U.K., "Pence for Power"--sell enough power to the grid and
get bonuses (pence is the U.K.'s pennie) .

I blog While I can!-G

Dish the dirt?

2009-08-27T13:06:00.000-07:00

You are probably wondering, "When is Graham gonna dish the dirt?"
And the answer is...soon. I wish I could tell you now, but until we have decided,
the answer is...soon. Once my family jumps that hurtle, I thought of something that
would be funny. this idea is in "I've started school, and to clean out my closet!"
Yeah--the camera on a hat. I could show you 'round the house, and
you could see the boxes o' stuff go up an' up. Then, a long, long, long drive.
I might see some landmarks along the way. Then, in the [cold] winter,
I would get to haul stuff around in the FREEZING COLD!

I gotta go now. Would you enjoy "moving with G?"
Then comment!-G

I've started school, and to clean out my closet!

2009-08-25T07:41:00.000-07:00

Okay, Okay. Sorry I've not been blogging. (jeez, I say that a lot!)

I started school yesterday. And I'm cleaning out my closet (groan!)
I hope you've enjoyed watching "Top Gear" on my blog. I should put new videos on soon.

A while back, I had an idea. I could get a camera on a hat, and then I could make a video
every week or so--and that way, you could really see "the Life of a gregarious Graham."
Too bad I don't have a camera, though.-G

-A day in the Life-
Sorry I didn't answer your old question.
1-"Sonic Running?" What? I've never heard of "Sonic Running,"
but there are loads of "Sonic" games. If you need to fina a game for the
DS/DSL/DSi, Go to for a list of all the DS...
games on the N america market.

2-Old LEGOS? Those can be really, really valuable!
And if you have an old SEALED set,
You could sell it for lots of money.
Keep it in good condition!-G

The desicion over I--______

2009-08-19T07:13:00.000-07:00

Hey readers! I just got back from--nevermind where I was.
My family and I are in a heap of stuff. I am almost ready to tell you
where I've been, and where I'll go. This might mean that I won't be able
to blog for a while. However, this could be really good for our family.

On the other hand, I'm about to go to the LEGO store in Chandler (AZ)
I'm going to buy an awesome $25 LEGO Star-Wars set, Echo Base.
It has some rare pieces and some that I really want.
I might get a three-minifig pack (Apparently, you can go to a LEGO
store and make three custom minifigs for $10. Pieces for the minifigs
vary by store.) but before I do, I'll have to see what bricks there are.

My mom signed me up for a chocolate milk taste-test.
I wonder how she found out about that.

See ya (maybe even in a Michael Crawford Kia! (for those KTAR listeners.))
Bye!-G

Hi from I--____________!

2009-08-16T07:54:00.000-07:00

Hello! I'm blogging from--wait. You're just trying to squeeze the truth out of me!
I'm not gonna let it happen!

Well, anyway, my flight was nice (and crowded.) The hotel breakfast was pleasant
as well. The other day, my dad and I went to a store 'round here.
It was all torn up, and it looked like the building had just been a "Home Depot."
My dad picked up the stuff he wanted to buy, and he went to the register.
He swiped his (credit) card, and there was an error. My dad said "what's wrong?"
The cashier said "Oh, you're paying with credit. We don't take it."
My dad said "Then how do you pay?" The cashier replied "With Debit."

How stupid can you get!? You can't run a super successful buisness with out
accepting cards, but why would you only take debit!?

People these days! Oh, now that I think of it, the Chinese/Obama are
brainwashing us to be anti-successful. Bye for now!-G

Hi-goodbye!

2009-08-14T08:38:00.000-07:00

Hey! I'm home, all safe and settled-and I'm about to go to...well, it's
confidential. In fact, my flight leaves today! I can't really answer my
commenter's question for now...I have to go to the airport!-G

BrickLink; the portal to all LEGOS!

2009-08-12T10:22:00.000-07:00

Hey readers! Please read the post below.

On the Mac I'm writing this on, the videos were over the words over there ->
So I looked at the HTML of the videos and changed the pixel width from
"480" to "400". That was genius! So I'll keep em' on!

I finally got a profile on BrickLink. Now my friends will always be impressed!

I'll get some Blacktron II stuff, and Classic Space minifigs!
Maybe some more hair, and older sets! Frogs, dinosaurs, money, monkeys!
Carrots, bananas, apples! Blacktron II, M.tron, Ice Planet 2002!
Yeah!

Okay, that probably makes NO sense to you, but basically, Blacktron II/M.tron/
Ice Planet 2002/Classic Space are all set themes under the genre of "Space."
All of them are at least 10 years old. everything else is a kind of LEGO.

They don't have lizards though! Just dinos.
Anyway, I really should go now.-G

The plan.

2009-08-12T09:55:00.000-07:00

Okay, Okay...I hope you like the videos...But I've noticed that some
strange things can happen...

The video can go into the words and such on the side, with the words covering up the video until you start the video.
If you have a PC/Mac with not much memory/that is old, the video will not be good.

So yeah, maybe I'll take them off...

Moving along, I'm back in AZ. I'm going to Idaho on Friday. I'll get back on Tuesday. So for me, It's welcome home--goodbye! That reminds me of
the summer of '07. I went to CA for a month. Then we went on a cruise to Alaska for a week, then I got home for four days, and we went to Chicago for a week,
then we got home for a week, then we went to D.C. for a week!
That was fun!

Talk to you later!-G

Loads Of Stuff!

2009-08-07T16:03:00.000-07:00

Hey readers! I am sitting here in CA blogging. I've had the best time

here, and I'll live it up till monday!

Speaking of LEGOS, there is a book coming out in feb (2010) .

It's about the Minifigure. You probably know that I love those plastic people

by now, and if you didn't, you sure do now! I hope I can pre-order it!

I just got the new DS game, LEGO Battles.

Speaking of CARS, have you ever heard of "Top Gear?"

If you get BBC, you can see it. I don't have BBC,

but I have Youtube! There is a Top Gear episode

where the Three British Blokes (TBB) race in Japan,

two of them on Japan's Bullet Train/ferry/cable-car,

and the third in Nissan's newest edition of the Skyline GT-R.

In another, the TBB play darts with cars (real ones!) and so on and so on...

Speaking of ANOLES and such, My female Lizard

died the other day. It's sad, but I never felt attached to the Green Guys

anyway. Oh well-maybe they're in heaven now.

And speaking of STUFF and such, I got a cool book about global

transportation. It's called "GO! the whole world of transportation"

and it's written by DK, one of my favorite book companies.

I also got a new DS game, LEGO battles, as a reward for

finishing my 1000 pages reading program.

I have gotten a ton of free LEGOS from my CA friends.

I'll send out thank-you cards soon. I've loaded up on my

friends' E-mail addresses as well. I have yet to get the

missionaries' addresses.

Yes, this is especially long...And I should really go now.

Write soon!-G

Yesterday...

2009-08-03T07:56:00.000-07:00

Hi readers. The missionaries got here last night. I can tell that I will make

new friends, even if they live in Tanzania. But I did more than just meeting them

yesterday.

Yesterday, I went back to the beach and rode on my friends' friends'

speedboat. I think it went about (mph) 60! Then my friends and I went to play Laser Tag. Oh yeah, there were 5 of us kids, and there were two groups (boys vs. just girls)

on an hour long drive! That I could wait to do again. When we got there, we had

to wait LONGER still to play. then we went in the "Briefing Room" (which is the equivalent of the "Rule/team choosing room".) Where they are instructed to do

the "rule shmear." I played about 6 games, but my friends played 7. On the

last game we played, our group was the only group playing. We told the

"shmear man" we had heard this blah blah blah enough and knew it.

He still had to say the things about "if

you have these conditions, you need to see me

before the game" stuff, maybe by law.

It's so fun when you don't have a million people playing. sometimes

they just walk past and shoot you, or they shoot you even when you're out for a

second, just waiting for your vest to turn on.

Anyway, I must go now. Bye for now!-G

New Newz

2009-07-31T08:17:00.001-07:00

Hey readers!

I am going back to AZ soon.

However, some missionaries are taking a break and coming to the USA.

They were in Tanzania (Africa, Earth, Milky way, Galaxy--duh.) . I'll have some interesting

discussions with them, plus they HAVE KIDS (to play with!)

I bet they'll be in awe of my cousins' house, and if they have a computer, hopefully they'll check out my blog from Africa!

If you have not been here recently, read the posts below (two below.)

Bye for now!-G

Insane fun with LEGO bricks; the guide

2009-07-30T20:37:00.000-07:00

(Hey readers!)

So you wanna be a LEGO master?

If so, here are the links to a few of my favorite

LEGO sites!

1 LEGO site

speaks for itself.

2 Brick-Link

A wonderous site;

Here, bricks are sold individually--all bricks,

from the faceless, limbless minifigs of the early 70's,

to today's LEGO men.

It is a great site to buy super rare LEGO bricks, and decide

exactly what pieces you get, instead of buying sets.

2 Lugnet

Another helpful site when observing older sets.

Type in the number code on your instructions/box in Lugnet's

search engine (under the "SET" filter) and you will find the set picture.

On occasion, the set picture will not appear.

this happens more often when searching for the 70's sets,

due to the shear age of the sets--it's not like you'll find them on the

official LEGO site!

I hope you enjoy the LEGO wonders stored inside these sites!

I did/am/will.

You have read the post above, right?-G

Water WOW!

2009-07-27T07:07:00.001-07:00

Hey readers! If you're wondering why I didn't blog yesterday, I'll tell you.

Yesterday, I was bored, so I called my friends. My friend answered and told

me that I could come n' play in 20 min. So I went back to the computer while

my mom made lunch. Then the phone rang, and my mom answered.

It was my friend's parent. They said that they were going to the Santa Barbra

Harbor, to go kayaking. They were also going to Quizno's for lunch.

They were about to leave and I was invited. So after I got ready to kayak,

I climbed under the hole in the fence (the two properties are divided by

a chain-link fence, under which is a hole.) ...and went to Quizno's.

After we ate, we went to the harbor. Apparently, My friend's dad is

a personal friend with a watercraft rental man; we used his watercraft-

otherwise it would be about $130 an hour for a jetski! I was told to put on a

wetsuit, and a lifejacket, which I did. Then my friend, his dad, and I all got

on a jetski; there was room for another adult! then we were off.

The jetski really freaked my out at first, but I got used of it.

We went way out past the buoy that signals the area where big ships

(yachts, etc.) go. We even got to see the sea-lions living it up on the buoy.

After that fun, we headed back for the harbor. I got off the wild waterjet,

and waited for something more to happen. After a while, everyone decided to

get on a boat (truthfully two boats, because of the size of the group.)

The faster of the two boats was carrying one of those things that gets dragged behind the boat, and that people ride. I was on the slower boat. We rode around

and had fun for awhile, then my friend's dad tried to get him on the dragged

thing. He really didn't want to. So he stayed on the boat and watched his cousins

take on the ocean in the draggy thing. it flopped in the air and crashed down again. It's like riding a kite that is in the ocean. Eventually my friend's cousin

told my friend to get on. His cousin said that with three people on, the thing

wouldn't go into the air. He got on, and I did too. It was kinda fun, but really

scary! There was a plastic piece in the canvas, that you can see through.

I looked through it, but all I could see was white zooming behind me.

Soon, I'd had enough, so I got on the dragging boat.

After awhile, We had to go back to harbor. When we arrived, There

was a giant tourboat. I got to go on board the ship. My friend, his cousin, and I

all got a little snack (free!) from the snackbar. We went home soon after.

Sorry that story is so long! Oh well. See ya for now!-G

Money is golden...but gold is platinum!

2009-07-24T15:48:00.000-07:00

Hey readers! I just got back [to my Aunt/Uncle's house] from the theatre.

I saw Harry Potter [And the Half-Blood Prince, yr. 6] . Good movie, but sorta

violent for PG. I just made $5 today, for a trip total [so far] of $19.95 (not

kidding one bit!) I hope to make some more before I leave. I really wish AZ

had a Tax-Recycle-Earn program. Then bottles would say A[rizona]R[edemption]

V[alue] ARV. See ya!-G

-A day in the Life-

Hello. I would love to post the numerous requested LEGO[.com] links.

I have done what I can.

I was not able to post my username page, or any other pages on LEGO.com

managed by me. You must have a LEGO profile and must be playing LEGO's

MLN. If you play MLN, please lookup "Grahamtheblogger" and use a few clicks

on me!

LEGO Gold Tooth's Getaway

LEGO River Heist

LEGO CITY Transport Collection

Those are very cool sets, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, my birthday is 10/20.

THX!-G

Leggo the LEGOS!

2009-07-23T21:06:00.000-07:00

Hello readers! I hope you like the little changes I made!

I just made a profile on the LEGO website. My username is Grahamtheblogger .

Besides that, I also got a wish-list of LEGO sets:

1 LEGO set #8967 Gold Tooth's Getaway [category: Agents 2.0]

2 LEGO set #8968 River Heist [category: Agents 2.0]

3 LEGO set #285330 CITY Transport Collection [category: CITY]

4 LEGO set #7639 Camper [category: CITY]

yes, that may be confusing, but the number is the set ID, and the

category is the LEGO set category in which said set is classified.

The CITY Transportation Collection is a whopping $200, but it is 2010 pieces

(on the basis of ¢10 per piece, with exceptions (big pieces, hard to mold, etc.))

So, if I had $300+, I might look at some of those sets...

I really need to go to bed now (and read,) so g'night!-G

P.S., Don't forget to comment and show your side!-G

No good name in mind...

2009-07-22T21:07:00.000-07:00

Hello readers! I started my 3rd book--1st book: 167 pgs total--2nd book: 759 pgs total

-- which means I have less than 100 pgs left! I hope to get my DS game the day/the day

before I go home. My CA friend is going to get a DS game, Lego Battles. I'm interested

in getting that game, so I'm going to ask him if I can play it.

I am going to see the 6th Harry Potter movie this week, and I would like to see Ice Age 3,

Cloudy [with a chance of meatballs], and G I Joe. They all look fun, and I've read the Cloudy

[WACOM] book, which was funny.

I've made $15 or so this summer, and I plan to earn more. I'm not saving up for anything in

particular, but it might go towards LEGOS. Those plastic parts are so addicting!-G

-A Day In The Life-

thanks! I'm proud, but I still have to read about 80 pages. I won't enjoy my DS-I got that a

year ago. However, I'll enjoy my new DS game! Thanks for reading!-G

-Dad-

Thanks for commenting! I wanna say hi from a cool, breezy CA, SB! I hope to see you soon, and I hope Friday's interview at KFYI goes well! Thanks.-G

reading this...reading that...

2009-07-20T06:46:00.000-07:00

Hey readers! I finished my Harry Potter (7, last!) book last night! Yup, 759 pages.

My biggest book yet! I just have about 80 pages I need to read to finish! Then I'll have

gotten a new DS game on the day I leave. So see ya! (off to go read!)-G

Gregarious news!

2009-07-18T15:04:00.000-07:00

Hello. Finally a cousin of mine came, so I am occupied. In addition to that, I'm almost done

with my Summer Reading Contest/Program! I even made a new drink, which is unnamedd.

Unfortunately, I haven't measured the ingredients, so I can't tell you the recipe.

See ya for now!-G

-A Day In The Life-

Well, Beaded Lizard production is zero,

because I'm on vacation. When I get back, I will make some.-G

Harry Fogger

2009-07-15T07:51:00.000-07:00

Hello again, readers! I just woke up here, and my is it foggy! When I woke up,

I wasn't even able to see the end of my aunts' orchard!

Just remember that, if you comment, don't be daunted by the fact that you won't

see it on my page. This is because I screen ALL messages, because I

don't want other people's ads on here without pay.

Lately, it's not been as fun around here because my cousins are all gone.

One's even going to Japan for 2 years in November. Wah. The people that

I know around here are fun to play with, but I would like to see my cousins, too.

On the other hand, the Harry Potter (6) movie is coming out today. I wanna see it, but I won't today. This has, so far, been a pretty good trip, but I've been bored

because there was nobody to play with. See ya!-G

BrickMania!

2009-07-11T17:01:00.000-07:00

Hello readers! I don't recall expressing my interest in Legos, but I will now!

I love the lil' plastic pieces, especially Minifigures/minifig accessories/ animals.

The Minifig (Mini-Figure) has been around for 30+ years, and there are billions of ways to combine Minifig parts! I have a lot of 'em, but I always accept more.

I recently got some amazing parts that I don't have/Lego decommissioned.

In case you're wondering what parts there are available to deck out your Lego man (men/woman/women),

the basic minifig is a torso (torso w/arms & equipable hands) a pair of legs,

and a head (classic minifg head is plain smiley face, hundreds of others out there)

. There are hats/hair/helmets/other, and for arms, weapons/cups/food/sticks/etc., and for feet, even a few shoes!

BrickArms, a 3rd party company, makes Lego compatible guns/grenades/knifes/other.

They are not huge, and semi-pricey, but

my friend showed his BrickArms guns to me;I'm very impressed!

If you are into Legos, then this will be worth waiting for.

I hope to get some after saving the money.

Enjoy!-G

The Amendment...

2009-07-09T17:03:00.000-07:00

Hello. I realize that I should probably stop ranting about this tech stuff I'd really like.

I'm trying to say that I'd like to make a mark on the web, and I have plan. I can't get to it easily,

so I'm in for it. I'm counting my options, and my strategy will hopefully fall in to place soon.

I need a few channels of money coming in my way--but, hey--I'm not 18.

I still have some ideas, some untried and others tried--and deemed good.

Suggestions are handy, I suppose.

On the other hand, my cousins just left to see their friends, and it's gonna be one of those

really-late-teen-things--they leave tomorrow, so I'm gonna see them not for a while.

now that the they're gone (unfortunately) , I have no people that I don't know when I'll be

seeing again. This means that I can evolve my plan--and blog. I can't think of anything to improve on here--so, hey-- why don't YOU comment your suggestions!?

I would like to re-design my site via HTML, but I don't know the first thing about it.

hmmm, You might have some good ideas, though.

See ya!-G

(untitled)

2009-07-07T08:40:00.000-07:00

Hello readers. I don't know what to say, but I've been thinking a lot about

Having a Web-Empire. It would be fun, but hard. I hope someone will be able to

read my HTML coding, and thus customize it. Then same with a twitter page, youtube channel, etc. That would be awesome! But if my parents can't dough out

the dough, how would I? questions, questions... Bye for now.-G

The verdict...

2009-07-05T18:24:00.000-07:00

Aloha readers! I really think that the improvements I suggested (See "Blog Improvements") should be made. But I don't have 1 stinkin' dollar towards

a computer, camera, etc. so that might take a while--but if my dad can get

a better grip on a permanent job, then eventually, I would get my wishes.

The other day, I tried putting music onto my blog via HTML code. Failure.

My music from home is on a data stick, which isn't working. I'll try at home.

Bye for now!-G

Blog Improvement

2009-07-02T18:54:00.000-07:00

I need a topic very much. I've been thinking about setting up another blog with a main topic-probably cars. I could also get a page on twitter and youtube.

Then my Internet-network-empire would look like this...

Twitter-Updates about my stuff, new videos, and posts
Youtube-Comedy videos
Blog 1-Personal stuff
Blog 2-Cars

That would be a lot of stuff to do. I'd have to get design work done on my

various sites, preferably so that they are similar in look. I would need a business-card designed-my mom is good at design. And, before all of this, I would need a

studio setup-includes small MIC, portable camera, computer, and various software-

And I would like sufficient advertisement-posters, signs, etc.-.

Oi that's a lot of stuff to do. See ya-readers.-G

there are others!?

2009-07-02T08:07:00.000-07:00

Hello again readers. I am happy to know that more friends and others are commenting again. I really like reading them. It tells me that people ARE reading this. Anyway, I'm trying to get more people hooked on my blog. However,

I believe that it would be easier to do so if I had a general topic. The night before I left for California, I saw a really inspiring show on Nickelodeon. The show was about

famous kids on the web. First of all, there was "FRED" , a youtube celeb.

He acts out things in a funny way, and digitally raises the pitch of his voice.

There were some that didn't quite appeal to me...

Besides "FRED", There was TeenCastic, a blog that reviews today's hot electronic stuff. Apparently the big electronic companies send him that stuff for free, and he gets to keep it! Imagine that! Since then, I've looked at TeenCastic, where the

writer claims to get 10,000 paige views A DAY! Oh, yeah, and he copyrighted his blog! Now, I'm thinking [Holy Crud! How do I do this!?] And he's making $3,000

a month on ads! Remember when I tried that? I made $5 by clicking on ads.

And then my account got suspended! Crud. So I have competition.

I E-mailed the author of TeenCastic, who goes by Shiv online-I think.

I asked Him for tips on trafficing (Besides getting a sweet gig on a kids' channel)

Anyway, Please tell friends, give them rewards if they comment, and tell them to tell their friends...

Thanks!-G

Thanks for checking out!

Hey readers! Thanks for checking out my blog!

Please tell your friends about the blog, and to tell their friends...

Those Lizards I've been talking about, hehehe, Well, they're coming, but not for a

while... sorry. And I still don't know about T-shirts, either, though I know where to find 'em. Bye for now!-G

P.S., If I don't blog for a few days, please don't stop coming back.

And read the post below, please.

Thanks!-G

Finally here!

2009-06-30T11:27:00.000-07:00

Hello readers. I'm very sorry for all the reading boredom I've caused.

I'll try to change that. I've been thinking, with all the stuff I get to do, and

all the people (some famous!) I meet, that my Mom could make me a business card. And I could carry them around wherever I please, and hand them out.

I'm finally at my cousins' house in Santa Barbra. Very nice. I wish I had photos.

Amazing. You can even catch a glimpse of the ocean from the tower, the tallest place easily accessible in the house. Everybody who was here (minus my Grandpa/ma, my mom, and I) are visiting people on the east coast (not gonna get into details--looooooong story.) So, without much activity, and not much time to spend with relatives (for now...) I'll be able to blog more!!

Please tell your friends about my blog-tell them to tell their friends, and to tell their friends... Thanks!-G

Work, Work, Vacation...

Hi readers! you might remember me talking about a memorial day event...

I finally got some pics... here they are! My [adult] friends, my [same-age] friend, Mccain [old guy, you jerk], family, Me.

Freind, Hugh Hallman [Mayor, Tempe], Me.

Family, AZ governer [Jan Brewer], Me (Impressive, huh?)Yes, that's that...[moving on]...I will start taking orders for the beaded lizards soon.

If you are wanting me to blog more, I will have more time in CA.

Sorry it's been so long!-G

Summer reading is a game (really!)

2009-06-07T21:03:00.000-07:00

Yes, I am busy. That explains the wait...

I have had two main things swimmin' in my head;

Making money (to buy LEGOS, lizards, and misc. video games)
Summer reading program (explained below.)

I've wanted money now more than ever; just think of all the LEGOS out there!

And then of course there is my summer reading program. My friend's mom volounteers at the local library, and she told my mom about the library's summer readin' program. I didn't want to do the library's program because (I quote myself) "...I don't really need the lil' prizes and th e library can keep their money because they probably need alll the money they can get for the lil' prizes..." My mom let me design my own. It looks like this...

at 100 pages I get free crickets, 250 earns me a free toy car, 500 gets me 3 songs for my ipod, and 1000 pages is firstly the goal (by July 1st) and also the point where I get a free game for my DS. I have to go read my book now...-G

P.S., It'll be a while 'fore I blog 'gain.-G

New stuff-New time, and a lil' rock, too.

2009-06-02T07:39:00.000-07:00

Hey blog-readers. I'm sorry 'bout the wait. I've just been so darn busy.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to blog more in CA; My mom told me that

there won't be very many relatives this summer in CA. I think I'm

crossin' the border in July... In the mean time (like yesterday, or today,)

I got a real surprise at Bookman's, AZ's "entertainment exchange",

yesterday. Lo and behold, I found a used R(ock)B(and)2 for my

PlayStation2! Oh, and I cant forget the price--for the game, drums, MIC,

and one guitar, I split only $40 with my dad! If I bought RB2 new, it wouldda

probably been over $100!

I just got it last night, and instead of playing it,

I saw the film "Lawrence Arabia."

I watched for two long hours and finally got to-the intermission?

why is is so freakishly long!?

I still have to finish it later today (it's a good film-not the best.)

And speaking of films, have ya seen "UP"?

I saw it on opening day (really good!)

Now I have to go.-G

P.S., please don't stop looking or get angry

if I haven't blogged for a while-I'll do it!-G

Summer vacation; it doesn't come 'til it's hot!

2009-05-24T12:53:00.001-07:00

Hi readers! I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging.
I've been very busy kicking off my summer vacation.

On Friday, my first day of break, one of my freinds'
brought their daughter over to my house. They are
in the process of moving to Washington (NOT D.C.)
and my parents offered our house if they needed
somewhere to put her.

Yesterday I went to another of my freinds' house to swim.
I can get my ear wet (says the doctor) --and it only took
three months to find out!

Today I'm going to yet another of my freinds' house for a
lil' party. Then I'm seeing "Fleetwood Mac" (the tickets were
free--a perk of the media (the kind that my dad's in.))

Tomorrow, McCain is going to be in town, for Memorail Day.
My dad is taking me to see him. Aperently, he's going to
be there for all who come, so everyone can get a picture
with McCain (and have their own peice o' history.)

I'm going to have a jam-packed break, but I'll still be blogging!
Happy readin'/listening!-G

P.S., I will be leaving this up for a few days, so don't forget
to look back soon!

School's out!

2009-05-18T09:08:00.000-07:00

Yo readers! School's out on Thursday! This means many things...

I'm going to California, the land o' widfires!
I'll try and save up for something by workin' on the orchard.
I'm going to see my freinds more!
It'll be F 115 once again, in "Ovenia" the oven land

I need to go do my schoolwork. See ya, happy reading/listening!

Lizards coming soon... I'm making more!-G

Saturday speed!

2009-05-17T08:49:00.000-07:00

My Saturday was really fun! The Leons, Mason's family, have a dirt-bike.
I got to ride it, and I was probably going 40MPH or so! They don't have a
lisence. The Leons have a huge truck that we rode over to the "stake fair" in.
It couldn't fit everybody, so the kids rode in the truck-bed.
The stake fair is put on by the Leon's LDS ward. Everything was free, so I
got a snow cone, or two... Being Sunday, I've gotta go now.
See ya, and happy reading/listening!-G

Hotwheel (and matchbox) traffic jam!

2009-05-15T12:37:00.000-07:00

Hey there! I really like cars, amd I'm gonna try and design 'em when I

get of age. For now, I'll just make do with my Hotwheels (and Matchbox)

cars. I got all of 'em out and made a "traffic jam". Then, I counted my cars.

I hadn't counted my cars before. I counted about 400 cars! Here are 7 pics.

Enjoy, and happy reading/listening!-G

Lizards, glass, and shipping...

2009-05-13T21:41:00.000-07:00

Hello, it's G. When I blogged yesterday morning, My lizard was still alive;

barely. Now that it's been about 20 hours since he's moved, I think he's

as good as gone. It's sad, but it'd be worse if I lost my dog, Sasha.

The Lizard key-chains are still yet to come, but they will come.

I think it's okay that he died; Green Anoles are "beginner" reptiles.

They're cheaper, smaller (less size=less crickets), and they're lower

maintenance lizards. I'm not counting the days until Mrs. Anole dies, though.

These little lizards are fun, but there are more user-friendly lizards, e.g.

the Bearded Dragon (I've observed baby Dragons going for $80.).

I have a tidbit of info on prices for the key -chains. For two on two rings,

Shipping costs $1.50, or so. That's how much it costs to ship a single

lizard. To answer Jill's question, I'm not quite shippin' lizards yet.

Soon. So soon. Good things (or lizards) come to those who wait.

I just got back from AZ's Botanical Garden. The [garden] had a special

exhibit, by a glass sculptor, Dale Chihuly. Amazing glass. My mom

took photos, which *sigh* are on the Macintosh. You can see his work

HERE! Those photos aren't mine. Anyway, I gotta go now. Enjoy the

pics, and happy reading/listening [to KTAR]!-G

Lizard life, Lizard death

2009-05-13T09:14:00.000-07:00

The lizards' life; a short one. Lizards' death; not so great. And that's what happened to poor Mr. Anole, he died. It's good though; he looked horrible.
I could see some of his bones through the skin, and he wasn't eating when
the lizards were fed on Monday. This will be sad, but there are much more
precious things one loses; a dog or cat, a friend, or family members. I'll
just keep going, though. It's not so bad until it sinks in. And how much can
a person bond to a Green Anole? Not much; they're scared if you tap the
glass, or quickly move your hand. I hope he enjoyed his lizard life.
The bones I saw weren't poking through the skin, and even on Mrs. Anole
you could see some bones, but she looks healthy. I don't think he was
sick, and I hope not.

Now I need breakfast; I didn't eat yet 'cause I was watching the lizard
through and through. See ya, and I hope I can start selling the key-chains
real soon now...-G

The Smoothie Crusade!

2009-05-12T09:45:00.000-07:00

You probably aren't aware that I LOVE smoothies. I crave them. I DO NOT worship them, though. A few months ago, my parents got a blender.
We turned it on, and it broke. Dang. Then, a few days ago, we got a blender.
It works, and it even crushes ice! So I to wait about 6 months just to enjoy smoothies more often (places like "Jamba Juice" are expensive!), which I really didn't like. So finally it's easier to get a healthy, cold treat while the city pigeons
roast to death (not literally). But if you throw in fruit, milk, ice, frozen yogurt and
all the rest, who knows what this mystery smoothie will taste like. None of my family members are chefs, but we can grill hamburgers (as should all Americans)My dad-I'm not asking him to get a show on the "food channel"-but he likes to experiment with stuff-in a "just do it, experience is nothing" kinda way.
So yeah, he's put...interesting stuff into our blender, and I'm not the biggest fan
of fruit-peanut butter-frozen yogurt-ice smoothies, but he likes it fine.
And I don't do the best, either. Fortunately, my mom got a smoothie recipe book.
Tasty stuff, but I just don't have the skill or time for home-made applesauce as
a smoothie ingredient, and though the alcoholic ones look good-ish, I'm not quite
twenty-one yet. There are some relativley easy ones, and I think I could put tofu

into these drinks, though I hardly know what tofu is. It sounds good. Anyway,

my dad said "You're leading the charge to more smoothies, which is great because they're so healthy and tasty, so thank you." That's very nice of him

(my dad sounds different off-air then when he's got a microphone by his mouth.)

And to answer Jill's question (who kindly left me a comment), Sasha is not waring

a muzzle in that picture. It is called a "Gentle Leader", and is addition to a leash.

It is designed to push the wearers' head up when the dog pulls the leash.

Sasha is often more obeident whith it on, so she often wears it when walking

or in the house when we have guests. We let her roam around freely on the hike,

and she really enjoyed the water. She was drying off after swiming.

Happy reading and listening!-G

Parents; nice but always busy...

2009-05-09T22:37:00.000-07:00

Hello. My parents are chatting litrallry HOURS away. To be exact,
1.5 hour (s), with the Floyds. But they are to busy shopping for
JELLO pudding mix (mmmm! carmel flavor!) to talk 'bout lizard
system... Oh well. G' night!-G

The Lizards are coming! The Lizards are coming!

2009-05-09T09:03:00.000-07:00

I still need to talk to my parents about the lizard mail system.
However, I've made one more lizard. Pics/lizard mail system
coming very soon...-G

Lizards coming; I see 'em on the horizon!

2009-05-08T08:32:00.000-07:00

I've finally made some lizards; three, to be exact. I still need to inform
you readers of how you'll receive the lizard... but at least some of them
are made. The price for a beaded green Anole is clearly listed above the
blog entry, so you do not need to ask. I will need to discus the inner
working of the mailing system with my family later today (after my dad's
radio show at KTAR.) check back soon for the mailing system. Thanks!
Happy listening and reading!-G

Lizard/T-shirt FAQ

2009-05-06T20:10:00.000-07:00

Please read the post below this; you may find it very interesting.
But please read this too; some reader have been asking questions,
and I intend to answer them...

Beaded lizards will be green, just like their models (Mr/Mrs. Anole)
All I know about the T-shirts, if they happen, is that there will be more lizards (green, of course)!

Other than that, I don't know much. Pics/lizards, coming soon to a blog entry/key-chain near you...I think...soon. Thanks! Happy reading and listening (KTAR)!-G

KTAR; the inside scoop

2009-05-06T15:47:00.000-07:00

Hi there! I just got back from KTAR. I was there with my Father, Austin Hill.

When I was there, I met some cool people. I met Mac & Gaydos

(3:00-7:00 PST P.M. Mon Fri). They've got a funny show, and I'm a fan.

I also met Patt McMahon, a hilarious man, who was formerly on a kids TV

show: Wallace & Ladmo. Now he has two radio shows, "The God Show" and

"The McMahon group. The God show is on Sun-Mon; on Sun it's 6:30-7:30 A.M.,

and on Mon, Midnight-1:00 A.M. The McMahon Group is Sun 4:00-5:00 P.M.

I also met a very nice woman, Gayle Bass, a.k.a. the "Click Chick".

She has a cool blog (much different than mine, you must be warned.)

you can check it out HERE

And I met Diane Brennan, too.

She is an Anchor at KTAR. Very nice person as well.

Remember, to call in on a KTAR show, call (602)-277-5827. Enjoy! Happy

listening and reading!-G

2009-05-06T08:27:00.000-07:00

Hello. Lizards still need to be made! I've gotta make some, and take pics, too.
making beaded lizards is time consuming, you see.

But I'd enjoy telling you about someone who does something I want to do!
On my dad's show, someone named Juan called in. Juan said "My 11 year
old son has a head-light detailing business, and he makes $1000 per 6
months, on average. When he grows up, he wishes to be an automotive
engineer. In fact, he bought a car so he could learn about its parts. He's
also bought a body kit for the vehicle." Okay, so I'm barely scraping up
cricket-funds, while 11-year old kids are buying cars. How do 11-year old boys
do that when it comes to being an entrepreneur? I'm going to start detailing
head/tail-lights too. Have you ever seen yellow, gross looking head-ights?
That's what that kid cleans up. Depending on how I'll price this service,
loads o' peeps would like it done. I've seen a kit for doing this stuff,
and I'd say it's worth the $20 if the kit does 10-headlights, or so.
Another great thing about this kit; It's from Meguiars.

I've really gotta go now (and worry about when to make more beaded lizards.)
so...Goodbye for now!-G

T-shirts and lizards (beaded, as you should know by now.) soon, I think...

2009-05-05T10:36:00.004-07:00

I'm sorry that I haven't got any pictures of lizard key-chains yet,
however, you're looking at ...$2.00 for a single lizard, or maybe...
$3.50 for two lizards on one key-chain. And, so far, I've made one
lizard. I don't know when I'll be selling. I might be selling T-shirts...
but I have no idea when that will happen though...It's kinda vague...
But I've gotta make those lizards.Happy reading!-G

The Dad show!

2009-05-04T09:55:00.003-07:00

Lizard-chains...

2009-05-03T16:29:00.004-07:00

At the moment, computer access is
very tight, so even blogging is hard.

Lizards (beaded) will be taking over
the world of key-chains soon, and
yes, you can fit 2 beadie-lizards on
one key-chain. I still have to make
the lizards now. Off to make 'em!-G

Lizards; coming soon to a keyring near you...

2009-04-29T11:55:00.005-07:00

Hi there again. I haven't been able
to blog lately because of some computer
accessibility issues, But now I'm back.
If you've tried to comment before unsuccessfully, please try again.
There have been problems
with the comment setting.

I'm making bead Anoles, so that
all of my readers can have some
pretty cool lizards (without taking
care of them.) on a keyring. More
details coming...later. As for other
entrepreneurial outlets, I've got a few.
During Christmas time, I made candy trains.
Last year I made $100 in profit! And
even better is the fact that I paid for all
the materials. I'd say that was better then
a lemonade stand; in AZ, it's always
either to hot or to cold (for people who
are used of at least one day of F 115 every
year, that is.) to go and walk around, or
by lemonade outside. So Arizonan weather
does not care for entrepreneurs selling
lemonade (and, no, this is not because of
global warming.) see ya,-G

Stuff you'll forget/dont need to know II

2009-04-27T08:23:00.002-07:00

I have more "Stuff you'll forget/don't need to know"!

Thorium is a naturally-occouring radioactive metal. I has one of the highest known melting points: 6026 F. !
It is estimated that there are over 1.2 trillion species of animal, 300,000 species of plants, and 100,000 other living things!
Once apon a time, 200 million years ago, there was one landmass. It was called Pangea. 65 Million years later, Pangea had broken into a Northern land and a Southern land. The Northern land was called Laurasia, and the Southern was called Gondwanaland, and India was but an island. 65 million years ago, the Earth started to resemble our modern day landmasses.
Platinum, and Cobalt share the title of oldest elements of the periodic table, both with the date of dicovery in 1735.

Stuff you'll forget/don't need to know

2009-04-26T12:00:00.005-07:00

In A.D.1, if the total population divided the Earth's surface, each person would get approx. 255 sq. mi.! In A.D. 1000, 134.2, and in A.D. 2000, 8.2! Scientists estimate that by A.D. 2100, each person will get 3.6 sq. mi.!
In N. America, 26% of the population live in a rural area, while in Asia, 72% live in a rural area.
The 10th most spoken language is Portuguese, with 90 million speakers. But 740 million speak Chinese, making it the world's most spoken language. English is second, even though it only has 320 million. That's a big difference between 1st and 2nd!
The swastika, a hated symbol of the Nazis, is actually a Hindu religious icon!
one tetrasecond=31,689 years, one gigasecond=31.7 years, one megasecond=11.6 days, one kilosecond=16.67 minutes, one millisecond=0.001 seconds, one microsecond= 0.000,001 seconds, one nanosecond=0.000,000,001 seconds, one picosecond=0.000,000,000,001 seconds, one femtosecond=0.000,000,000,000,001 seconds, and finally, one attosecond=0.000,000,000,000,000,001 seconds (anything smaller than that doesn't matter anyway.)
And now roman numerals. I=1, II=2, III=3, IV=4, V=5, VI=6, VII=7, VIII=8, IX=9, X=10, L=50, C=100, D=500, M=1000. (so X-VI=IV.)
the Dodecagon, a shape you did not learn about in preschool, has 12 equal sides, but the Undecagon only has 11 equal sides.

Before my head explodes, I'd like to say that I do not know that by heart, nor do I need to. Also, I take no responsibility for damage done to your head/brain because of massive information overload, numbers to small to possibly fathom, etc.
