Cinco de Mayo!

It's the fifth of May: Cinco de Mayo  National No Homework day!  I really haven't taken a big part in this since I got into high school.  I didn't know it was National No Homework day - that may explain the minimal amount of homework I have today.  In Japan it's also a holiday called Children's Day.  They don't have school today.  Why can't we have that holiday?  Mrs. Toma gave us candy to celebrate it.   Why doesn't the US have a children's day?  We have Mother's Day and Father's Day, why no Children's Day?

Prom!

So, prom has come and gone! I've never actually been into dances or Prom for that matter.  Even if asked I probably wouldn't have gone.  I may go to my Senior Prom, but I might not - it depends if I have a date or not.  I don't feel like I need to have a date or anything, but that'd be the only reason for me to go.  I didn't even realize Prom had taken place so there's not much else for me to say...

Earth Day

Tomorrow is Earth Day!  I've never actually done anything for Earth Day.  It's not really a big deal to me, or hasn't been in the past. 

Many consider Earth Day the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.

There is a site for the holiday called earthday.org   It is currently holding a campaign called "Green Cities Campaign" in attempt to decrease annual rising temperatures

There are several events going on worldwide from the Americas to Oceania.

Spring Break!

My brother Joseph's birthday was yesterday, but we celebrated it the day before on Saturday.  The day started with me waking up at around 10.  I didn't eat breakfast because of how early it was.  Not long after waking up and getting settled in front of my computer, we left and went to the Spotted Cow near the Adrian Mall that has a Putt-putt course.  We ate ice cream then played putt-putt.

When we were done playing, we went and visited my grandmas (my grandma and great grandma). My great grandma had just gotten home from a nursing home after having her foot operated on due to an infection.  We said hi, walked my grandma's dog, a shihtzu named Rusty, and we went home. 

Later that night we had a bond fire and roasted marshmellows.  The night carrid on boringly, I played on my computer for a while and then went to sleep.

Devious Fun with the Legend of Zelda

I believe I've metioned on here before that I have an account on deviantART in which I post the large majority of my drawings and other forms of art.  Recently, I've started an ongoing fan comic series based on the Nintendo game franchise, Legend of Zelda.  It's an original storyline, but I'm simply borrowing dessigns and several characters from many of the Zelda games.

A brief summary of what has happened so far:
Several years ago, two opposing nations went into war and was stopped by the goddesses' chosen nation of Hyrule.  Now a society has risen that opposes Hyrule and has been attacking them.

We meet Link, a soft spoken young man who lives on a small farm with a woman named Aya, his cousin Navi, and a few others.  Meanwhile, throughout the conutry, a small terrorist group has been attacking small towns and the royal family has been alerted.  His highness sends his eldest daughter, Princess Zelda and her good friend Sheik to go recruit people to help defend the land of Hyrule and beyond.

Cheaters Never Win

If I spotted a friend trying to cheat, I honestly don't know what I'd do.  I'd probably confront them.  I'd scold them for doing that or explain how wrong it was to do so.  I haven't really come into the situation of knowing a friend was cheating.  I hope none of my friends have done anything like that.  I'm really not sure what I would do.

Photography Composition

This is a photo of a saucer holding a mug of a brown liquid being knocked over.  This is a shot that some may seem very difficult to achieve without good timing and perhaps some practice.  The bowl and the mug are placed more to the left of the image as the liquid stretches out to the other end of the the frame. The background is very plain as is the clear saucer are very plain, I assume, to bring attention to the contrasting color of the liquid and the droplets being sprayed around the area.   It's a very nice shot and needs two people taking part in it to make it look the way it does for the timing to be correct.
