My new friends Leo, Zachary, and Max introduced my friend Christopher and me to a bunch of funny YouTube videos by this guy who calls himself NigaHiga. They are hilarious. Here are a few of my favorites. You should watch them!

Guest Tip II

I'm having a sleepover tonight with my good friend Jack.  His birthday is the day after mine on May 17.  I'm going to let him do a guest tip.  Here it is:

"Don't watch Thomas the Tank Engine if you're over six years old.  That show is for little kids."

Clean Movies

If you want to go see a movie, then try cleaning up the house without being asked.  Once you've done it, then you can ask your parents to go see a movie.  They'll be so happy that you cleaned the house that they'll take you wherever you want to go.

The movie that I want to see is Oceans.  I didn't get to go see it today, though, even though I did help clean.  My mom asked me to clean, but I did some of it without complaining.

You should try to see if this tip works for you. 

Happy cleaning and movie watching!

Gettin' Funky

If your kids want to play games, here's a recommendation for them.  This is another game that requires a computer.  I really recommend U.B. Funkeys.  It's a great game.  You get to play a lot of games and visit different islands and locations in Terrapinia.  And you can try solve the mystery of Master Lox and the Great Disaster.  Unfortunately, you can't play it on a Mac, only a PC, unless your Mac has been partitioned so that it has both the Mac OSX and Windows on it.  (At least that's what my dad says.)

Bear-ly Possible

There's a show called "Man vs. Wild," where Bear Grylls does all kinds of amazing survival stuff.  The problem is that they don't do a very good job of telling you how to survive if you refuse to eat gross stuff like snake heads, fish eyes, and weaver ant larvae.  I'm not about to drink my own pee!  And they don't tell you how you'd get up the cliffside by the river if you're not strong enough to climb a bamboo shoot all the way to the top or if there's no tree limb conveniently located for you.  So, my tip is this: if you don't want to eat gross things or drink your own pee or jump over huge glacier crevasses, you better not find yourself in a situation when you need to use Bear Grylls's survival skills.

A Net Positive

There's a really cool Website called Poptropica.  It's at www.poptropica.com .  You may think it's boring at first, adults.  But really there's a lot of puzzles and logic games.  So, really, you'll love it.  My dad even has to help me sometimes win the games.

For kids:  it's almost like playing a video game; but, your parents probably won't limit your time on it like they would a real video game, because it's kind of educational.  You can also laugh at the crazy costumes and wacky names.

If you need any help getting through the islands, just leave me a comment and I'll give you a hint or a cheat.

An Unexpected Manifesto Regarding Days Off School

Schools should not give extra days off for kids when teachers go back to school.  You might think it's fun, but it's not.  The TV still thinks it's a regular school day and only preschool kids will be home.  So, it shows all these dumb little kid shows, not the cool kid shows that are on weekends and after school.  So, if you're a kid, don't wish for days off school.  It's a bad-TV trap.
