ADVERTISING!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, my faithful readers, I have good news for you!!! We will soon be having new people visiting Interesting Things That Bore Me!!!!! I got a coupon for $100 free advertising with Google AdWords!!! Google AdWords works by targeting certain words that people Google, showing an advertisement for the website, and hoping that the people go to the website! Awesome, right?! Yeah, I know. Now, I will have to enforce a VERY strict security policy.
NO telling where you live
NO using peoples' real names unless you are talking about celebrities or other well-known people
NO other stuff that would make you or others unsafe
That's my new policy!!
Now, I'm off to advertise!!! SO... To keep you entertained, I guess it's................ LINK TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
-link-
A blog that I LOVE, it's very funny.

Bye!!

I'm Ba-ack!!!

I know I haven't posted in a while, and I'm sorry about that. I just haven't had time!
Okay, so I guess, since so many holidays have passed, I should say...

HAPPY LABOR DAY-HALLOWEEN-THANKSGIVING-BLACK FRIDAY-HANUKKAH-CHRISTMAS-NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, that's a LOT of holidays!!

Ugh, no one reads my blog! I think I should advertise on Facebook!! I've been running this thing for nearly a year and only my mom reads it!!

You know what's awesome? BiC AI mechanical pencils!! I just bought two at the grocery store and they ROCK!!! They have a three-way lead advance system, and Japanese erasers! JAPANESE ERASERS!!!!!!!!! And French leads!! From FRANCE!!!!!!!!!! Okay, I'm getting WAY too excited, but how can't I?! Okay, the three-way lead advance system works by giving more lead when you click, shake, or write with the pencil; the Japanese erasers are 1.5mm in diameter, and the French lead is average mechanical pencil lead. But the pencils are AWESOME!!!!!!!!

-yaaaaaaaaawn- An hour and a half till bedtime...
What should I do now?!
LINK TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fibonacci sequence
A link to the Fibonacci sequence, the namesake of my parakeet, Fibonacci.

RCV: someone...
Me: ?!
RCV: Goodbye...
Me: Good riddance, ya loony!!!
RCV: ?!?!?!
-end-

Tubas and Baritones: What's the Difference?

Ok, I've decided to explain the difference between tubas and baritones.

  1. Size: Tubas are huge. Baritones are just big.
  2. Music: Tubas read ONLY bass clef. Baritones can read either treble or bass clef.
  3. Notes and Range: Tubas play lower notes than baritones, and have a larger range because of that.
  4. Tone: Tubas have a deeper tone than baritones.
  5. Variety within category: This means the different types of each, and the variety of names for them. Tubas have sousaphones within their category, and baritones have euphoniums and the alternate name of mini-tuba.
  6. Superpowers: Tubas can have small children put in them, and baritones can have apples and small balloons put in them. I have experience with the baritone things.
  7. Similarity with other instruments: I mean names and size similarities with other instruments. Trumpets and cornets have the size thing, saxophones have the name thing(Tubax and Baritone Saxophone(Bari Sax), along with other instruments.
  8. Awesomeness: Tubas are more awesome(awesomer?) than baritones, because they're bigger. But baritones still rock.
  9. Ability to be blogged about: This is my 3rd or 4th mention of baritones and tubas in a blog post. That's just cool on its own!

I really have to go now, my brother's getting into something!

Bye,

RJ

I need a pool!!

I need a pool!! I want to swim!! Well, I might get to swim this weekend, because one of my relatives who lives nearby has a pool and I might get to swim there!! Yay!! Too many exclamation points!! Not yay... Man, I need a pool!! It's too hot out, and the HS pool is only opened Monday-Thursday, 7-9pm!! That's lame!! Ugh, the lack of pools has angered me to the point of too many exclamation points... Someone who lives down the street from me has a pool and I can see it when I jump on my trampoline, and that makes me angry!! Argh!! Too many exclamation points...

A Funny Poem

This is a funny poem I wrote.

MY HAT

  1. My hat is awesome
  2. It looks better than a dead possum
  3. It is red
  4. It sits upon my head
  5. My hat is plaid
  6. I think the possum's name was Brad
  7. It is also black
  8. I think the possum got squished by a yak
  9. My hat I do love
  10. That yak I would like to shove
  11. Oh no! A dove stole my hat
  12. The yak was fat
  13. I wish the yak would eat the dove
  14. There would be no terror from above
  15. But the yak would just get fatter
  16. And it would shatter the ladder
  17. Ukuleles bother me
  18. Do not ski into a tree
  19. Oh look! There goes the yak
  20. It's heading out for a snack
  21. Maybe cookies, maybe cake
  22. Maybe possums on a rake
  23. I want my hat back on my head
  24. I wish the possum wasn't dead
  25. Oh look - where's Brad?
  26. He might have ran off to go see Chad
  27. Chad is a fat yak
  28. The one that ran off for a snack
  29. I wish they would come back
  30. To launch a dove attack
  31. I wonder what that dove is named
  32. I hope my hat is not stained!
  33. I'll call the dove Ted
  34. Hopefully he likes bread
  35. I hear a yak!
  36. My animal friends have come back!
  37. We must attack Ted
  38. To get my hat back on my head
  39. Oh - look at that
  40. Ted decided to give back my hat!

That is the poem I wrote for my English project. The hat is actually real.

My hat doesn't have the black strip of fabric near the brim, though, the plaid just continues.

Why I Think Tubas are So Awesome.

Well, since my last post was so educational, I think I'd better make this post fun. If you haven't noticed, my last post was on the number "pi". This post is about tubas and why I think they're so awesome. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuba A wikipedia page about tubas. Well, since the educational part is over, I'll tell you about why I think tubas are awesome.
1. They're so big and shiny.
2. They play really low notes, and make higher ones sound low.
3. Tubas are like 4 feet tall, and that's bigger than just about every other well-known musical instrument except bigger tubas!
4. You can fit a small dog/cat/child in the top of one.
5. Even if a tuba is old and dented, it still looks cool.
6. They come in a smaller size! It's called a baritone/euphonium, and both names are used for the same instrument. A better name for a baritone/euphonium would be mini-tuba, because it sounds a bit more realistic than giving it a whole new name!
