Stunts and School

There's this really cool thing call "free running" and a similar thing called "parkour" that I just learned about. It's amazing. These people run really fast and jump over barriers, climb buildings and do flips off walls and stuff. I want to learn how to do it and you should too. I'm taking gymnastics lessons this fall at Rising Star to get the fundamentals. Since I want to be an actor, I think it's important that I learn how to do my own stunts. Learning gymnastics and free running will help.

As a bonus tip, I just wanted to say that I hope all you kids out there -- and parents of kids out there -- had a great first day of school. I sure did. Ms. Weatherbee's class rocks!! Ask me sometime about all of our class pets and about Boxington. Woot woot!!

YouLaugh

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!

Un Juego de Tarjetas

Here's a good way to practice Spanish:  when you play Uno, you say the number and color of the card that you play in Spanish.

That's a fun way to practice your Spanish.

The only problem is that I can't remember how to say "skip" in Spanish.  So, when I play a red skip card, I say, "Rojo skippo."  That's not right, but it kind of sounds like Spanish.

The Height of Fun

If you want to go to someplace for rock climbing, I recommend Hoosier Heights in Bloomington.  My friend Hugo is having a birthday party there and he invited me.  I can't wait to go there and climb to the top of the wall without falling off.  You should try it, too.

Don't be scared.  I'm not.

Networking

Today's tip:  Do yourself and your friends a favor . . . tell them to read my blog!!

Sleep Interrupted

Don't let some stupid sixth grade girl tell you about scary movies like When a Stranger Calls, because then you might get scared and have a hard time falling asleep.  Even though you know it's not real, you might still feel a little freaked out by it when it's all dark in your room.

Remember my strategies for falling asleep . . . .

Oops!

Guess what?  This is my 100th tip. My dad went back and looked at the archives and realized that the tip two days ago was only the 98th.

So, my tip is: don't let your dad count up your posts.

Not Half as Good as It Used to Be

I love riding scooters.  I had an old one my neighbor gave me.  But, do you know what?  It broke in half yesterday.  Seriously, right in half!

So my tip to you is that, if you like to ride scooters like me, make sure you don't break yours in half by doing sick tricks, like me.

P.S.  That's not me in the picture.  I'm good, but not that good.
