Mauer batts third in lineup

June 1st, 2004

This week is final examination week at Minnehaha Academy. So far i have had 3 out of 5 of all the finals I'm going to have. I've had a final in Latin I, Reading Bible, and Algebra. Tomorrow, (June 2nd) i have absolutely no finals! (Thank God). I am happy that school is getting out because that means that i get to start my first job at the science museum. I have job training this saturday (June 5th) and I have heard from others that you just play games and talk about what it will be like. I know I will miss the many friends I have made, but I might see them over the summer. Like I might go up to chuck's cabin so he can teach me how to "Play" basketball. My dad is gone till tomorrow night. He is North Dakota and if he tells us where he is going he would have to "kill" us. My brother Joe (11 years old) has a baseball game and i am the official scorer for the team which is called the Mustangs. I have to sign off now but i will make a new blog tomorrow if i have time.

Pete Townshend's famous guitar smashing was not just a visual spectacle, but had a musical purpose: he was selfconscious in his assertion of rock as a legitimate art form.
"I think the most important musical development we've made in pop music is in free-form music which does exactly what it wants. We don't allow our instruments to stop us doing what we want.... We smash our instruments, tear our clothes and wreck everything. The expense doesn't worry us because that would be something which would get between us and our music...So I don't have a love affair with a guitar, I don't polish it after every performance; I play the fucking thing."

Movie Review - The Return of the King

When i was asked to go see the return of the king with my best friend, nate, i was very excited to see it. When the movie started i was somewhat doubtful that frodo and sam could make it to Mordor alive. I was also doubtful that any army the humans or elves could muster up, could defeat Saurons army. But I knew from other movies like this that the hero would succeed. Yet as the movie progressed, i became more and more doubtful. Golem was going to betray frodo and Saurons humongeous army was approaching Gondor. When i saw the army catapulting stones into Gondor. I was happy to see the riders of rohan come to Gondors aid. But then elephants came and stomped them good. This movie was great until the end. Well, not the part where frodo destroys the ring, but after that, the six different endings. I wanted it to be over by the 3rd ending.

Today was my 15th birthday. I woke up this morning feeling tired and wrecked. It was a monday morning and i hate monday mornings. My dad told me to take a shower, and i did not feel like taking one so i just dunked my head under the faucet and applied shampoo. I then got dressed, i wore a Imation shirt and my favorite pair of courdroys. I went downstairs got my left over mountain dew from the night before and started sipping it slowly. My mom and two brothers (Joe & Jacob) presented my with these awesome homer simpson slippers and a cool watch. I huged Jacob and Joe for the presents and thanked them. We then left the house to go pick up Margo at about 7:40 am. We picked up margo and we then drove to school. When i got to school i was very tired and couldn't really learn or think about anything (the way i always am every monday morning). But by the time the second bell rang I felt ready for a full day of 9th grade. I first had latin class, a great way to start a monday morning, with Mr. Ball who is one of my all-time favorite teachers i've ever had. After Latin i then had world history, we talked about the blackdeath and watched a video about it. Next was algebra with mr seely. We did stuff about graphing equations and then corrected our 1st quizes. I started on my 2nd quiz but didn't get very far because the bell rang. Band was next, o how i hate band, i slowly made my way to band with my friend will roberts (he plays trumpet). After band came lunch, one of my favorite classes of the day. I sat at a table with jordan griffin, ben binder, will roberts, and tommy benson. Right after lunch was english. We went over and turned in out hobbit studdy guides. Then finished with some peter pan (she is reading peter pan in class to us). After english was foundations of chemistry and physics (science), with the L-Mac. We talked about our interview projects briefly and had an elements quiz which i think i did pretty good on. The last class of the day was gym and we set up the volleyball nets, then had a volleyball tournement. Then for the last 15-20 minutes of class we played nukem. This was my day, it was pretty good but i was tired throughout it, which is normal for me.
