Santa is coming

Presents under the tree

Little kids jump with glee

The next thing I will be talking about is what holidays I celebrate and how I celebrate them. I will start with my favourite Holiday, Christmas! Christmas isn’t my favourite holiday because you get presents well not just because you get presents.I like Christmas because I was born and raised in a Christian family and we always go to church on Christmas Eve to learn and praise Jesus. I also like Christmas because you can get presents and you can have the rest your list and even if you don’t it’s always a surprise what you get under the tree. I also really like to see the looks on peoples faces when they open their presents. It makes me feel good inside if I was giving it and to see the look on the persons face who gave them the present. Usually at Christmas time me and my family start out by Opening our stockings And then using the stuff in our stockings. Then we have breakfast which is usually cinnamon buns. Then we open the presents under the tree one at a time. Then we have some time to play around with our presents and then we go to our grandparents house. My grandparents and my family usually talk for a while and we all have a snack and give them there presents, then we have dinner, and then see what presents are under the tree. All in all Christmas is a great time of year everybody is happy and smiling and everything has a discount. The one thing I don’t like is all the traffic

my second favourite holiday is Easter I like it because I can take items from my older brother and then I get to laugh as I watch him try to find the thing I hid. It allows. Me to get back at him for all the things that he does that are mean. It is usually fun to watch him look for stuff when I am always the one trying to find things that he took from me and then lost, like my earbuds. All in all Easter is great, it allows me to get back at my brother and I really like those egg chocolates that come out at that time of year.

That concludes my blog post for this week hopefully you have a wonderful Christmas the one thing that I am looking forward to is hopefully getting some parts for a PC that I am building for a discount. Tell me in the comments what Christmas presents you are wishing for thanks for listening.

Week 6 – Emoji’s

Hello

This week is all about emojis the tasks I will be completing are: a story prompt, emoji math and emoji guessing game.

Story: The Panda Who Was Afraid of Pizza

Once open a time there was a panda named parry. Parry is a panda but not an ordinary panda. Parry is a panda who is afraid of pizza. Well he’s not exactly afraid of pizza, he mainly just gets very upset when there is pizza. But before I tell you why let me just give you a little bit of parry’s backstory. Parry was born in a zoo in China, and From a very young age he was auctioned off to the public because there was no where for parry to stay he was adopted by a man named George. George was very loving and kind to Parry. But at night George would go to the casino to play card games like blackjack and Texas hold ’em. He was really good and often brung Parry with him as a good luck charm. One night when George was playing a game of blackjack as usual, he was winning, he had won almost $300,000 that game. And he was pretty much making everyone lose tons of money. So the house realized this and said that there was going to be pizza on them for everybody. Pizza was George and Parry’s favourite food, so they obviously took a piece. Little did they know that the pizza they gave George was poisoned and that was so they could rob all the money that he had won back so when they tried to do this immediately George realized that the pizza was poisoned but it was to late George had already taken a bite. They both went home immediately and the casino didn’t have a chance to rob them. But there was a problem George was very ill and he had been for weeks, so now Parry has to sneak into the grocery store to get food because there is no animals allowed. now Parry is very sad because there is. a pizza place right next to the grocery store and it just reminds him of the hole incident every time so some of the time he doesn’t even get anything to eat because he is so sad when he sees it. today Parry thought of a really good idea he should sneak in and then get medicine instead of food. Parry’s plan was simple he would wait for someone to get the right medicine and then he would snatch it. So he waited and waited and just when he was about to give up someone got the right medicine but the person who got it looked familiar he was the person who gave them the pizza in the first place so Parry wanted some revenge as well. Parry snatched the medicine and then ran the man chased him then pulled out something that looked like playing cards but they had spikes on them and he tried to throw them at Perry and missed multiple times then. Out of no where Parry caught one decided to throw it back it hit the man square in the chest but it had only knocked him back but when the man tried to grab another card parry jumped into him pushing him off the bridge that they were fighting on and he fell into the shark infested water never to be seen again. Parry rushed back to the place George was staying and read the instructions for the medicine you had to put the medicine in food so parry decided that the only thing to do was to get pizza the pizza place was closer than the grocery store and it would be quicker he rushed to the pizza place grabbed a slice and went he fed the medicine to George George was ok and was no longer sick it was pizza that helped save him and now Parry would love it again. The End.

That was my story and now I will make an emoji guessing game I will use emojis to try to hint at the title of a movie and you will have to guess it in the comments feel free to also tell me which of these movies are your favourites.

1.🕷👨‍🦰              🏡
2.🦕🦖🌎
3.🐧🐧🐧🐧🐙
4.⭐️⚔️
5.🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️♾⚔️

The next thing that I will do is emoji math I will be making an equation and you will have to solve it

🌕+🌕=🌒
🌒+🌒+🌕=🌓
🌓+🌓=🌖
🌓x🌒+🌖=🌑
🌖-🌓x🌒=?

Leave your answer in the comments

Week 5 – Music

Hi,

This week we are focusing on music. This is a fun one for me because I play the electric bass guitar. A electric bass is similar to an electric guitar in that it is a guitar and it is amplified. The most common bass has only 4 strings though, E-A-D-G. These strings are the same as the four lowest strings on a guitar, but they are an octave lower. There are some basses with 5, 6, 10 or 12 strings. The bass has a distinctive sound and is used in music in many different ways. It can be used to set the tone of a song, like funk (think 1970’s music), or to set the rhythm and imitate the percussion (drums) in a song, or as the main sound in a song (think Seven Nation Army by White Stripe). Because most people who play guitar want to play the traditional electric guitar, there are fewer bass guitar players. The good thing about this is you are in high demand as a bass player. My bass is a Washburn bass. I have added a photo of it below.

 

So to add a little bit of fun, I am going to give you some clues below and I would like you to try to guess the band and the song with a strong bass line I am talking about. Put your guess in the comments section.

  1. The bass line starts the song
  2. The band started in 1970 but their music is still popular today
  3. The original lead singer is dead
  4. The band name is royal
  5. The song name could also make diamonds
  6. It is also given by peers

I am going to end with another audience participation request. In the comments, after you have guessed which song and band I am describing above, answer these questions about your opinion about the bass.

Would you rather:

  1. Listen to electric bass or acoustic bass?
  2. Classic music with bass or popular music with bass?
  3. Give it Away – Red Hot Child Peppers or Another One Bites the Dust – Queen

 

4. I Want you Back – Jackson 5 or Billie Jean – Michael Jackson

5. Queen or AC/DC

Thanks for participating in my blog this week and I hope you learned something about the bass.

Student Blogging Challenge Week 4: Free Choice

Hi again!

This week we were allowed to do a free choice for our blog post so I will be talking about one of my favourite hobbies, butterfly knife flipping. It is one of my favourite hobbies because it improves my hand-eye coordination, it is a great fidget, and it makes a cool party trick. The types of tricks you can come up with are endless.

I really like doing tricks with my hands. I started out just using fidgets to help me focus with my ADHD. Then I realized that I have pretty good hand-eye coordination. I got interested in magic and started doing card tricks and coin tricks. After I got really good with these things, I moved on to the Rubic’s cube.

I discovered butterfly knives when I saw my dad doing twirls with a knife sharpener that is designed like a butterfly knife. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it is a blade or blade substitute with two “wings” connected by a single joint at one end. I asked my dad where he learned how to do the twirls and he told me about butterfly knives. I went on YouTube to look up videos of course, and I was hooked. My dad ordered me a practice knife, which has a dull blade so you can’t cut yourself when you are doing tricks. They also had ones that had a comb, a fork, a spoon, and even a pen or pencil.

Learning how to do tricks with a butterfly knife is fun, it improves your hand-eye coordination, and it looks cool. It is my latest and favourite fidget style hobby right now and I have lots of tricks and moves I am working on. Butterfly knives and novelty items are easy to find online and not very expensive so it is a good hobby if you like to work with your hands. I have included a video below of me doing a trick so you can see how it works.

 

Student Blogging Challenge Week 3

Hello again! Sorry that I didn’t post right away on week 3. I was away with my class in Oregon for a field school. It was great fun and I will be sure to post about it in a later week! But anyway this weeks tasks are the following: how to avoid copyright, make an image and image task card.

Today I will be posting about how to avoid copyright. First I will tell you about what copyright is. Copyright is when you use someone else’s creation without their consent, for example you can be copyrighted for using a companies music in a YouTube video without the companies permission. An example of avoiding copyright is when a movie pays a company to use. One way to avoid copyright is by using the non copyright setting in the tool bar when you go into images. If you don’t ask for permission to use an image than the company can copyright strike you and sue you. This can be a big problem for people who don’t know about copyright.

in this part of the post I will post about an image that I have made using sketches pro.

The 3rd task that we were assigned was to use pictures that are copyright free to write the beginning of a story and then ask you to finish it in the comments (if you don’t know how to comment then look at my post) click here for that post

One night you were getting ready to go to sleep when you heard a noise coming from the kitchen it sounded like someone fell, that was weird you exclaim as you walk cautiously down the stairs, this is your first night at this cabin and you are still figuring out the layout of the place you get down the stairs and you are about to walk into the kitchen when you think to yourself, “why don’t I get something to protect myself”. You remember that you brought all your hockey gear from your childhood cottage, you go into the garage and unpack some of the moving boxes, until you find a large mesh bag with wheels and a handle. You very carefully unzip the big pocket and look inside, “all the hockey gear is gone!” You mutter under your breath. There was only one thing left in your bag. A stick that was snapped in half. It was sharp and that would do a lot more damage than just a regular stick. But as you pick it up you hear another noise that sounded almost like a giggle. “Maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me.” You leave the garage and here footsteps running up the stairs, you chase them up and you see the door to a guest room slam. “Now that was not just my imagination.” You exclaim. You hear a faint humming sound from the room you brace yourself for what might happen next you reach for the door handle and twist and push what you see is…

that is all that I am going to write now it is your job to finish the story off leave your entries in the comments. That is all for now thank you for reading and goodbye.

 

 

 

My Comment using HTML

Hello again!

today I would like to share with you my experience with using HTML to post a comment. At my first attempt trying it I failed and the comment didn’t work at all and it was really embarrassing 😔. So then I tried again on a person named Adam From Australia! Which is a long way from where I live in Canada 🇨🇦. So that was pretty cool. But I think that I will never use HTML again because if I want something to be enthusiastic like how I use bold then I would just use uppercase letters or I would use the exclamation point. So I don’t see myself using it in the near future. But it was worth giving it a shot.
