Decisions, Decisions

You guys know how you posted the comments yesterday about the future of this blog and my writing?  I appreciated the feedback, but I still haven't decided what I'm going to do.  I guess I still have a month to decide, so I'm going to consider my options for a while.  Even though the people who commented didn't like the Twitter option, I'm thinking that I might have a Twitter account next year to go along with whatever I do.  It may be that I'll continue this blog with a Twitter to go with it.  Or I may do a new blog with a Twitter account to go along.

This is just an update.

My tip is that, when you have a big decision to make, you should always get advice from people you trust, but you finally have to make the decision that is best for you.

Between Breaks and An Uncertain Future

You guys are probably wondering what's going to happen to this blog next year and I am, too.  I'll give you some options and then you can rate them and give me some feedback.

Before that, though, here's my tip.  Have fun on Thanksgiving break, but when you get back to school focus on learning.  Just because Thanksgiving is fun doesn't mean that you should stop trying at school.  It's a hard time between Thanksgiving and winter break to keep focused. But you have to do your best.

Now, back to what happens to this blog next year.  I'm a writer, so I want to have a place to do my creative activities, but maybe I want to do something different.  Here are some options:

  1. I continue this blog.
  2. I start a different blog, not about tips but about something else.
  3. I forget about all blogs and don't do one at all.
  4. I start a Twitter account on a different topic than tips.
Give me your thoughts about what I should do.

Awesome Advent

Everybody should have a great season from now until Christmas and try to have a lot of fun times before the new year.  Make sure the rest of 2010 is your best year ever.  You only live once.

Thanks Giving

Be thankful. You should be thankful because it's the right thing to do on Thanksgiving.  You should probably still be thankful the rest of the year, but people won't pressure you as much to talk about it.

No Tip for You!

I don't have a tip today.  I can't be creative everyday.  Give me a break people.

Chuck, Chuck, Bo-Buck . . . .

Chuck is a really cool TV show on NBC.  A guy named Casey is all hardcore.  Agent Walker is pretty and tough.  And Chuck is a geeky super spy.  He has this thing called "the intersect" in his head and it makes him into Super Chuck.

If you like laughing and shooting and kung fu, you should watch Chuck.  We have 24 episodes on our DVR that we're trying to watch . . . from both last season and this season.

Bear-y Big News

If you've ever watched Disney's "The Jungle Book," I think you'll agree with me that Baloo is the coolest character.

That's why I'm excited to announce that I'll be playing Baloo in the Stages Bloomington production of Jungle Book Kids in February 2011.

It's just the bare necessities . . . . .

Chillaxin' on Turkey Break

On your Thanksgiving vacation, which is coming up next week, you should do whatever you want to do.  Hang loose!

I'm going to go to the Exotic Feline Rescue Center in Center Point, Indiana, and maybe to Wolf Park in Lafayette.  My grandma, aunt, uncle, and cousin might come visit. And I'm just going to relax and lounge around the house.  Can you think of a better Thanksgiving vacation than that?

I can't.

Fancy Schmancy Lego Videos

Lego videos are really cool.  I really like to watch them.  I want to make them, too.

I'm getting a new video camera for Christmas from my Grandma Marietta.  (I call my Grandma Marietta "Grandma Spooky" . . . but that's a story for another time.)  So, I'll be able to make some pretty awesome Lego videos.

It's a really long and difficult process to make the videos, though.  So you have to be really committed to doing it.  My favorite Lego video maker is called Fancy Pants.  Here's one of my favorites:



My favorite part is when the characters and the Lego blocks look like they're flying or floating.  I saw where Fancy Pants explained that he does it by setting up blocks to support them and then erasing them with Photoshop.

I don't know if I'll be as good as Fancy Pants right away, but I can't wait to try.

You should try it, too!

Back to the Blog, But not Hoarding!

Holy cannoli!!  It's been too long since I've updated my blog.  I'm going to do a better job now.  So, here's a big tip to make up for all the time off:

You shouldn't clutter up your house like the people on Hoarders.  It will make your house really disgusting to live in and everyone will stop being your friend.  I was watching this episode where the woman was trying to say she needed to keep this thing she had hoarded to give to someone as a present, but it was covered in rat poop!  Gross!!

I'm not a hoarder, but after watching that show, I think I'm going to go clean my room.
